After receiving the deposit, the old butler didn't say anything more and led everyone straight to the granary.
"You're in luck; the seeds for the first half of this year have just been issued."
"All the seeds are here, over a thousand catties in total."
"The total value is 1,000 gold coins. Handle the transportation issues yourselves."
"Once these things leave the City Lord's Mansion, they have nothing to do with us. If problems arise, bear them yourselves."
The old butler spoke very bluntly.
"1,000 gold coins, that's so expensive."
Aicia said, feeling the sting in her heart.
"Expensive? Once you grow the wheat, there will be at least a hundred tons of food; the price will have increased tenfold by then."
The old butler looked at her with disdain. "If you think it's expensive, you don't have to buy it."
"No, no, we definitely want it."
Aicia quickly said with a smile.
In any case, it wasn't her money being spent.
Shiro handed the gold coins Draco had given her to the old butler, and after confirming there were no issues,
Whoosh!
Several carts of seeds in the warehouse were all taken into the spatial ring.
With the mission complete, the group left the City Lord's Mansion.
Watching their departing figures, the old butler ordered his subordinates to keep a close eye on these people while he went to an office in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Master, just now..."
Inside the room, a middle-aged man with an aquiline nose listened quietly to the old butler's report.
"It seems like a big fish."
"Have people watch them. Once they leave the city..."
An excited light flashed on Count Jess's face.
...Inside the Dia Merchant Guild.
Mustard moved very quickly; he had already compiled all the materials Draco required.
Seven or eight boxes were currently arranged in the lounge.
Inside were categorized precious materials.
Mustard rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly, "Guest, all the materials you requested are here."
"There are seven or eight portions of each material, totaling 8,000 gold coins."
Draco nodded, and then the exchange of money for goods was completed.
Having finished this, Draco's purpose for coming to the Eastern Empire was basically fulfilled, and it was time to return.
Without staying any longer, he stood up and left the Guild.
Mustard respectfully escorted him to the door, "Honored guest, we welcome your next visit."
"Mm."
Draco responded and then turned to leave.
The moment he left, Mustard's eyes turned somewhat greedy.
"What a huge sum of money. Buying legendary equipment cost..."
"...gold coins, and as it turns out, I earned it all back today."
Mustard licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
An attendant behind him whispered in his ear at this moment.
"Master, should we send people to keep an eye on this person?"
"No need."
Mustard shook his head, "This is not someone we can afford to offend."
Although the Dia Merchant Guild often used improper means to make a profit, it had remained standing for many years.
This was due to Mustard's cautious and prudent nature.
He had just spent a large sum of money to buy information on Draco from the black market.
An Otherworlder suspected of killing the Magister Razen.
Mustard could not afford to provoke such a figure.
Clearly, he had chosen the right path... After leaving the Guild, Draco did not return to the hotel but instead went outside the city.
He planned to use the last three magic scrolls he had on hand first.
A true expert's MP should be maintained in an empty state from beginning to end.
This was a demonstration of perfectly utilizing every bit of one's mana.
Draco methodically activated the summoning array.
However, the commotion this time was somewhat unusual.
A powerful gale swept in all directions, and the barrier Draco had set up shattered instantly.
The clouds in the sky scattered into the distance, and even the sunlight seemed to dim significantly at this moment.
"What on earth!?"
Draco looked at the sudden phenomenon in surprise.
This is... When the great commotion ended, a young girl wearing a white-and-red shrine maiden outfit appeared within the magic circle.
She had cherry-blossom-colored long hair very similar to Shuna's, snow-white skin covered in a light pink mist, and her pink eyes flickered with a confused luster.
She looked up, sizing up Draco, and then slowly walked toward him.
"Eh??"
"What the hell is this?"
To be able to regain her sentience even before signing a summoning contract—just who was this girl?
Draco was a bit confused by the situation.
The girl in the shrine maiden outfit walked elegantly to the front of Draco.
"Nazarick Underground Eighth Floor, Sakura Sanctuary Area Guardian, Aureole Omega, summoned to assist in battle."
Aureole bowed slightly in greeting.
"Aureole?"
In a daze, Draco came to a realization.
Aureole Omega, a Level 100 NPC optimized for the Commander class, whose race is an Immortal Human.
Since she has no racial levels and enjoys 100 levels of job class space, she can build the Commander class optimally.
She usually works at the Sakura Sanctuary on the Eighth Floor, responsible for guarding the Guild Weapon and monitoring the portals within Nazarick.
Aureole keeps the Guild Weapon, the staff of ainz ooal gown.
The one Ainz Ooal Gown holds in his hand is a prototype made by his former comrades.
If the Guild Weapon is destroyed, the Guild will immediately disband.
Given that such an important Guild Weapon was entrusted to Aureole, one can imagine how terrifying her strength is.
At this moment, Draco deeply felt the sense of pressure coming from Aureole.
The system character panel was filled with "???".
Aside from her name, Draco knew absolutely nothing about Aureole's information.
The only skill he knew was one Draco had inferred from watching anime in his previous life.
The ability to forcibly upgrade low-level skills to high-level skills.
Making skills that were originally ineffective against a target become effective.
And it was a group buff.
(The original work hasn't written about Aureole yet, only knowing she is a bug-like existence, so the author just made a prediction; don't attack me.)
After clearing his thoughts, Draco asked, "Aureole, is the staff of ainz ooal gown with you?"
"It is."
Aureole extended her right hand.
A golden, twisted scepter emerged; the tip of the scepter was in the shape of a trophy.
Inside the trophy, seven golden snakes were coiled clockwise, their heads extending out of the cup, each holding a gemstone in its mouth. The seven differently colored gems flickered with a mysterious light.
This was a divine artifact capable of standing alongside the 'Twenty' World Items... (Divider)
It's been a while since the science classroom opened; today let's talk about weapon classification.
The weapon levels in the world of Ainz Ooal Gown are:
Lower Class, Middle Class, High Class, Top Class, Legacy Class, Relic Class, Legendary Class, Divine Class.
Divine Class is generally the peak, but in YGGDRASIL, there are World-Class Items.
The so-called World-Class Items are two hundred specific top-tier items in YGGDRASIL.
The power of these top-tier items can only be rivaled by other World-Class Items.
Among the two hundred top-tier items, the strongest Twenty World-Class Items are specifically called the 'Twenty.'
These 'Twenty' possess abilities that seriously break the game's balance.
Because of this, these Twenty World-Class Items are set to be usable only once, disappearing after use.
In the game, after these 'Twenty' World-Class Items are used and disappear, they will reappear somewhere in YGGDRASIL (the World Tree).
In other words, these Twenty items are like Dragon Balls; they fly away after use.
And the most insane thing about the staff of ainz ooal gown is that it is a Divine Artifact and will not fly away.
