Chapter 448: Information on the Nameless Book of Spells

"Yes, Lord, we can't be as strong as you. If you don't take action, we will definitely not be able to resist if they attack again!"

Everyone spoke up, their attitudes sincere, and their words full of anxiety and panic.

However, even so, Roa still said indifferently, "No."

Everyone's expressions quickly turned pale, and even Lakyus, who had spoken earlier, became a little frustrated. The atmosphere in the arena fell into silence.

Roa looked at everyone's silent expressions, thought for a moment, and felt that if he were to wear down these guys' fighting spirit, it would be difficult in the future.

Roa paused and suddenly said, "In short, I also have my own difficulties. However, regarding your direction, I have reached an agreement with the other party. If the other party kills ordinary people and civilians, I will also take action to stop them and fight against them."

This was also a guarantee that Roa wanted to give everyone, so that everyone wouldn't feel like everything was over.

As soon as he said this, Roa could clearly feel that the morale around him seemed to have risen a little.

An adventurer who was closer to Roa's eyes lit up, and he said, "In other words, you won't really stand by and do nothing, right?"

Roa glanced at him without speaking, but he didn't nod either.

This was a kind of default. Seeing this, everyone finally felt relieved, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, several heavy footsteps came from the stairs again. Roa glanced over and found that it was Lakyus's partners, Evileye and Gagaran.

Gagaran still had that sturdy body, without any femininity, as strong as a brown bear.

Evileye wore that mask, and almost the moment she came downstairs, she kept her eyes on Roa.

"Oh, you two finally came down. Evileye, go and explain to the guild master how terrifying that matter is, so that this guy doesn't think about things that he shouldn't."

Lakyus's eyes lit up, and she waved to Evileye and ordered.

Evileye nodded slightly, went directly to the guild master, and forcibly dragged the guild master out.

Gagaran shrugged her shoulders. She felt that it wasn't a good idea for her to stand here like a fool, so she said to Lakyus, "I'll go see what's going on."

Then, she followed Lakyus out together.

For a time, only Roa and Lakyus were left in the center of the living room.

The two's eyes met again. Roa clearly felt that Lakyus seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.

Roa took the lead and said, "You seem to have something you want to say to me?"

Lakyus was surprised for a moment, but she didn't deny it. Instead, she smiled and said, "It seems that my father is right. I'm not the kind of person who can easily hide things. Indeed, I have something I want to ask Senior."

Lakyus emphasized the word "ask" and her eyes became a little sharper.

However, when facing Roa, Lakyus still maintained that respectful attitude.

Roa smiled. He already knew what Lakyus wanted to ask. Roa pointed upstairs and said, "It seems that this is not the place to talk. Let's go upstairs and talk about it."

There were separate small rooms on the second floor. These small rooms were used for guests to talk. Compared to the small village where Roa had been before, the guild in the Royal capital was obviously more luxurious, with some simple soundproof arrays.

"Yes, that's right."

Lakyus didn't refuse and readily agreed to Roa's request.

The two went upstairs together, leaving behind many adventurers who looked at each other in dismay.

They naturally had some regrets in their hearts. They thought that they would be able to eat a big or small melon this time, but they didn't expect that there would be a lot of thunder and little rain, and they got very little useful information in the end.

However, Roa's appearance also made them confirm many things. This trip can only be said to be worthwhile.

…

Second floor, conference room.

In the huge room, there were only Roa and Lakyus.

Roa sat on the chair, leaning back on the back of the chair, his behavior very lazy.

Lakyus, on the other hand, maintained the posture of Royalty, sitting very upright, looking at Roa with sharp eyes.

Roa asked unhurriedly, "Say it, what do you want from me?"

Lakyus nodded and said the doubts in her heart with a serious expression.

"Princess Renner died last night."

"Yes." Roa nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"I want to ask who might have done this?"

When Lakyus said this, she stared at Roa without blinking, her clear green eyes staring straight at Roa.

Roa didn't flinch at all. He met those clear eyes and thought for a moment, "Renner has problems, do you know that?"

Lakyus was silent for a while and replied slowly, ". I know."

Roa smiled and continued, "Although you know, you may not know where her problem is, right? You don't understand Renner at all."

"What do you mean by that, Senior?" Lakyus asked, her green eyes still staring straight at Roa, her attitude seemed a little aggressive, but those who were familiar with Lakyus knew that Lakyus just liked to do this.

Roa followed Lakyus's words and said, "Renner is the culprit of this incident. If I say that, can you understand?"

Lakyus's eyes narrowed slightly. She nodded and shook her head again.

Roa picked up the teacup on the table, poured a pot of tea into his bowl, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"I just don't quite understand why Senior, you killed the princess."

Lakyus said her thoughts in a heavy tone.

Roa was slightly surprised. The teacup in his hand paused slightly. Roa asked, "You know I did it?"

To this, Lakyus's answer was also very straightforward, "I think you did it. The questions I asked earlier were just a test, but you don't seem to be good at lying."

"Ah, is that so? But I have to reject your last sentence. I am a very good liar." Roa smiled and looked at Lakyus.

Roa actually felt a trace of holy energy from the other party. This holy energy was wrapped around the other party's holy body, emitting a faint light.

Priest, a very magical profession. When the level reaches the level of Lakyus, they can initially have something called intuition.

This feeling, similar to the sixth sense, allows Lakyus to have some keen intuition when facing some lies.

Of course, this feeling isn't always accurate, and it comes and goes, but even so, Lakyus suspected that Roa was behind it.

However, Roa didn't intend to hide anything in the first place.

"So, you already know I killed them. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Roa said with a playful smile.

"I just want to ask, why didn't you wait for the truth to come out? If Renner was really the enemy, she should have left more evidence, right? This evidence could be found with a little investigation, right?"

When Lakyus said this, her tone wasn't agitated at all, but her gaze was still sharp.

Roa's smile gradually faded, and the young man sighed. He pretended to be helpless and said, "If we really waited for you to find the truth, I think we would have been waiting for nothing. Besides, since I think she's the enemy, why should I care about you and leave her alive for you?"

Lakyus didn't say anything, but her brows were still furrowed.

"You're really a bit pedantic. It seems you're a boring person too. Forget it, let's end this conversation here. I thought you could say something interesting, but I didn't expect you to be an idiot."

"Besides that, idiot, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lakyus, who was called an idiot by Roa, didn't show any displeasure on her face. She bowed respectfully.

"Can senior help the kingdom?"

Roa's answer was also straightforward.

"I don't do messy work, and I don't want to get involved in your nobles' affairs. Besides, you can't give me the chips I want. There's not even one thing in the kingdom that I can fancy."

"Alas," Lakyus sighed, her expression full of sorrow.

But this sorrowful emotion came and went quickly. Soon, Lakyus cheered up again and asked, "What about Brain? Where is that swordsman? I have something I want to ask him to help with."

"Oh, him? He was taken to the Slane Theocracy by Zesshi Zetsumei," Roa replied casually.

Hearing Zesshi Zetsumei's name, Lakyus's face changed instantly. The composure she had before turned into nervousness, and her eyes regained their previous sharpness. She said directly, "Zesshi Zetsumei actually came to our country? Where is she? Why didn't you stop her, senior?"

Zesshi Zetsumei has a notorious reputation, and her mischievous personality is deeply speechless.

Although she is known as the guardian of humanity, there are still too many disagreements between countries. A weapon like Zesshi Zetsumei is like a nuclear bomb.

And how could they not be shocked that a nuclear bomb was in their country?

Regarding Lakyus's series of questions, Roa waved his hand to interrupt and said, "Let me answer your first question first. Zesshi Zetsumei has already returned to the Slane Theocracy. As for why I didn't stop her, the reason is simple: because she's already my person."

However, as soon as he said this, Lakyus looked at Roa with a strange expression.

Roa instantly realized the inappropriateness of his words and coughed lightly, saying, "It's like Brain, becoming my disciple."

"Oh," Lakyus nodded knowingly.

"No more questions?"

"No more."

It seems like she came to make trouble, but she really just asked these questions?

Roa could have thought that Lakyus was dissatisfied with his actions and wanted to take the opportunity to attack.

But the key was that she maintained a humble expression and didn't have any impoliteness in her behavior, which made Roa feel very awkward.

If it were a regular novel, he would have already started showing off and slapping her face.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Roa gave Lakyus a strange look, but he didn't say anything and went straight downstairs.

Lakyus didn't follow Roa out of the room. Instead, she pulled out a chair, sat down, and began to think.

…

After saying goodbye to Lakyus, Roa began to prepare information about the Nameless Book of Spells.

However, it was extremely difficult to find clues about this in such a short period of time. The kingdom's foundation wasn't deep, and there was no detailed information about this. Even if there was, it was just a few words.

Roa's investigation quickly came to a standstill.

But the stalemate didn't last long. The next day, Zesshi Zetsumei brought Roa good news.

"Master means you want information about the Eight Greed Kings?" Zesshi Zetsumei tilted her head and fell into thought.

The thought didn't last long. The frown on her face quickly relaxed, and the girl happily said to Roa, "Yes, the Slane Theocracy happens to have records about this. What does Master want to do?"

"Oh, this. There's an item that might be useful to me, and I want to get it."

Roa didn't hide anything and told Zesshi Zetsumei directly.

The girl nodded and didn't delve into it. Instead, she said to Roa, "Since Master needs it, I'll take Master to get the relevant information when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, Zesshi. This will be a great help to me. I'll specially promote you from an outer disciple to an inner disciple!"

Roa touched Zesshi Zetsumei's head. The girl didn't resist and let Roa's big hand caress her. The black-and-white loli showed a silly smile, which made Roa feel a little emotional.

This guy in front of him seems to be the kind of person who is easily satisfied.

Silly children always have silly blessings. Roa's eyes gradually became kind when he looked at Zesshi Zetsumei.

"Zesshi Zetsumei, I'm going to meet Ainz later. Ainz is the leader of those heteromorphs. I made a deal with them. Do you want to come with me this time?"

Hearing this, Zesshi Zetsumei, who was originally giggling, instantly reacted from her silly state. She stared at Roa with her beautiful eyes and said, "Master, no, humans can't make deals with those heteromorphs! Those people are bad guys and must be killed!"

Roa coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment, "It's not that Master doesn't want to kill them, but I'm really powerless."

However, Zesshi Zetsumei was skeptical of Roa's statement. The black-and-white loli said bluntly, "Master is so strong, there must be a way."
