Seeing Ainz's silence, Roa knew that the other party was already tempted.
But Ainz didn't immediately agree to Roa's conditions. Instead, he asked, "Is your information really worth a super-tier magic?"
Super-tier magic is magic that surpasses the tenth tier and is essentially only usable by players.
Even the most advanced NPCs cannot normally learn this type of magic, and magic items like magic sealing crystals cannot seal magic of this level. Therefore, unless under special circumstances, only players with magic-user classes in "YGGDRASIL" can learn this level of magic after level 70.
In other words, even in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, only Ainz can normally use super-tier magic. The other NPCs cannot use it.
Ainz doesn't know if anyone else in this world has mastered super-tier magic, but there is no doubt that super-tier magic is the most valuable thing he possesses.
"Whether it's worth it or not, let me tell you part of it, and then you can judge."
The young man glanced at Narberal across from him, smiled slightly, and continued, "Actually, you brought this on yourselves. Didn't I tell you before? It's best to keep a low profile. But you went ahead and arranged for your subordinates to make some small moves in the surrounding area. What? Do you really think there are no strong people in this world?"
Roa's words made the already unpleasant expressions of the two even gloomier.
The young man still had that unhurried expression, as if victory was already in his grasp.
The silence didn't last long before Ainz agreed to Roa's request.
Roa then continued, "First, about the players, there have been quite a few players who have come to this world from 'YGGDRASIL' in the past few centuries. You are not the first."
With shocking words, Roa revealed such a secret.
"Don't think you're hiding very well and that no one can find you. In fact, as long as you meet, people can know your player identity. After all, the natives of this world are really not strong. Your strength itself, in the eyes of those who know, is simply the most obvious proof of a player."
The skull under the black armor flashed with scarlet light. Ainz didn't speak but continued to listen to Roa's words.
"The reason why you are called extraterrestrial demons is also for this reason, because you are not people of this world. In your world, you are called [Players]."
"Your appearance is not a good thing for this world. Extraterrestrial demons have a great impact on this world, especially those predecessors before you, who have almost changed the pattern of this world."
"For this reason, we are actually quite disgusted with the existence of players."
At this point, Roa smiled and pointed to Ainz, saying, "After all, when a person possesses power they have never had before, no one knows what they will do, let alone you heteromorphs."
"Rules, rules, nothing can be accomplished without rules. This world needs order and rules. We don't want another existence that wants to break the order to appear."
"And what you are doing now is trying to break the rules of the original world, isn't it?"
Ainz didn't refute this, after all, the facts were in front of him, and it was useless for him to refute.
However, he didn't want to explain anything about this. Ainz didn't dwell too much on the topic of players. Ainz thought for a moment and replied, "Was Shalltear's matter really not done by you?"
On this point, Roa nodded very seriously and said, "It wasn't done by me. As I said before, I just had a fight with that vampire. Someone else took action."
Ainz nodded. Just as he was about to ask the next question, the young man raised his tone and said with a smile, "But I do know who took action!"
Ainz's body trembled slightly, and his fists clenched, but his expression was completely invisible under the mask.
Ainz's thoughts collided frantically at this moment. He didn't hesitate any longer and quickly made a decision.
"If you can truthfully answer a few questions for me, I am willing to use super-tier magic as a reward," Ainz replied in a deep voice.
"Okay, but if the information you want exceeds this price, I will refuse to answer your question or ask for a higher price."
"Of course." Ainz didn't object to this. Then, he raised the doubts that had been lingering in his mind.
"The first question, besides me, who else in this world is a player?"
This was the question he was most puzzled about. Judging from Roa's previous attitude, the Roa's faction's favorability towards players could be said to have dropped to freezing point.
Regarding the answer to this question, the young man didn't hide anything. He straightened his body and made his expression serious.
It's better to put on a straight face when doing this kind of information transaction. After all, it's not convincing enough to say other things in a frivolous tone. This is also a matter of attitude.
The young man seriously replied, "Judging from the existing historical traces, there are three relatively clear groups of players."
"The first is the Six Great Gods who descended into this world about six hundred years ago and built the foundation of the Slane Theocracy, protecting humans from the many demi-humans and heteromorphic races. These are the earliest players to descend into this world."
"The second is the Eight Greed Kings who descended into this world about five hundred years ago, promoted tier magic in this world, severely damaged the dragon race that ruled the world at that time, briefly unified the continent with overwhelming power, and established a country."
"The last to appear was about two hundred years ago, a group called the Thirteen Heroes, who gathered strong people from various races to defeat the demon gods who harmed the world. Some of them were players."
Speaking of this, Roa paused and continued, "In other words, the most famous Six Great Gods, Eight Greed Kings, and Thirteen Heroes in this world are actually players. As for whether other players are hiding behind the scenes, I don't know."
"But the pattern of this world is roughly these."
Hearing this, Ainz's brow also twitched. He had thought that there might be players in this world, but he didn't expect the number of players to be so large, and even these players had changed the world to some extent.
If such guys are still alive, then it is a very troublesome thing for Ainz.
Without much hesitation, he directly asked the second question: "Where are they now? Are they still alive?"
The relationship between players is not always friendly.
Even if they come to another world, it is the same. They will not sit together well, helping each other, just because they are both players and come from the same place.
The human heart is unpredictable, and only interests are eternal. Once interests are involved, even if Ainz can give up, can those players give up?
So in a sense, when he learned that he was not the only player in this world, and that there were still these heroic figures who had existed hundreds of years ago, he really hoped that they were all dead.
However, Roa's answer was simple.
"This question, the value of the information is a bit high. I can answer this question for you, but you only have one last question left."
"Okay."
Ainz gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"They are all dead. Five of the Six Great Gods are human races and have a lifespan limit, so they died early. The remaining one was killed by the later Eight Greed Kings, so all Six Great Gods are now dead."
"As for the Eight Greed Kings, they were severely damaged in the war with the dragon race. Later, there was infighting, and they ended up perishing together, destroying themselves."
"The player members of the Thirteen Heroes also did not survive. It is said that they accidentally killed their companions in the fight against the demon gods and refused to be resurrected."
"In other words, you are the only known player in this world now."
Suddenly, Ainz felt that his hanging heart had finally stabilized.
"Is that so?" Ainz made a thoughtful expression.
Roa directly exposed Ainz's thoughts and mocked, "Laugh if you want. Their death is indeed a good thing for you, right?"
Ainz didn't dwell too much on this issue with Roa. He continued to ask, "Third question: Why are players like me being transported to this world?"
When he said this, even Ainz's skeleton could feel his nervous emotions at the moment.
The matter of Shalltear was indeed more serious and was extremely valued by Ainz.
But when Ainz unexpectedly learned that Roa had mastered so much information, the matter of Shalltear had to be put on hold.
The three questions mentioned above were the questions that had lingered in his mind for the longest time and were the most important.
He really wanted to know how he crossed over to this world.
However, in response to this question, Roa glanced at Ainz expressionlessly and then said, "The level involved in this question is relatively high. This information alone cannot be paid for with a super-tier magic."
"But I really can't answer this question. Not to mention me, even the dragon race that once ruled this world wouldn't dare to say that they have mastered the entire situation."
"However, according to the information we have, it is inferred that the appearance of players should be related to the existence of the [Dragon Emperor]."
This is a very unfamiliar word.
[Dragon Emperor].
This world has the existence of dragons.
The dragons of this world are known as the strongest race of life forms.
They once ruled the world and were the race that firmly occupied the dominant position in this world before the appearance of the Eight Greed Kings.
And in "YGGDRASIL", dragons are also considered the strongest race, not only possessing powerful physical attack power, physical defense power, and unfathomable stamina, but also being able to use countless special abilities and magic, causing many players to drink their hatred and be defeated.
The dragon race is undoubtedly extremely powerful, but in Ainz's cognition, he has never heard of the word Dragon Emperor.
This word is an extremely unfamiliar word to him.
Ainz knows a little about the Dragon Lord. It is said that this is a title with special significance in the dragon race. Only dragons that have reached the highest age stage, possess special power, or can use different types of magic can obtain this title and enjoy the honor of being called a king.
Among them, some dragon lords who can use ancient magic before the appearance of tier magic are even called True Dragon Lords. This is a classification and definition given by the Slane Theocracy.
In other words, Ainz knows something about both the Dragon Lord and the True Dragon Lord.
But he really doesn't know about the Dragon Emperor. Ainz, who first heard this information, turned his inquiring gaze to Roa again.
Roa blinked and said speechlessly, "The price has to be increased."
"Ninth-tier magic, is that okay?"
"Five, and you must pay some magic items as a price difference to compensate me. After all, it's about the Dragon Emperor. You can't find out such information anywhere else except here."
"Okay."
After agreeing on the conditions, Roa slowly said, "I also don't know much about the Dragon Emperor. I only know that he is the father of the Platinum Dragon Lord, one of the current Dragon Lords, and the former strongest of the dragon race."
Hearing this, Ainz didn't speak but continued to look at Roa, looking at the young man with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
Such information is naturally not worth two ninth-tier magic.
The young man was helpless and had to continue, "If you use the level of 'YGGDRASIL' to divide it, then the Dragon Emperor is the only existence I know that exceeds level 100. If I say that, you should know what level the other party's strength is at, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Narberal immediately exclaimed, "That's impossible. How can there be an existence that exceeds level 100?"
Not to mention Narberal, even Ainz looked shocked.
Ainz murmured, "So, there really is an existence that exceeds level 100 in this world?"
But then, another question emerged in his mind.
What exactly does such an existence want to do by summoning players from another world?
The answer to this question is destined to be unanswerable. Even if Ainz casts a questioning gaze at Roa again, Roa can only shrug helplessly and seriously say, "I only know this much about the Dragon Emperor. As for why he summoned the players to this world, I'm afraid only he himself knows the answer."
"Okay, the three questions are over. You should have another question you want to ask, right? Increase the price, and I can consider answering your next question."
Roa naturally wouldn't dislike earning less, and when Ainz learned that Roa had mastered so many secrets, he was even more moved and had various ideas.
