Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 122
Episode 122:
As numerous nobles moved to the stadium and sat down on chairs, a man in a red robe appeared in front of them.
“His Royal Highness Duke Dalimus is entering!”
A typical event begins with introducing the person with the highest rank.
When the wizard assigned to Bertio spoke to everyone in a voice amplified by magic, all the nobles stood up.
“It was hard to come this far. Since it was a family matter, I wanted to proceed quietly, but…”
Dalimus, who looked displeased with something, began his speech.
Originally, Dalimus had no intention of conducting a duel on such a grand scale.
However, there was no way to drive out the nobles who came after hearing the rumor.
Even though Dalimus didn’t pay attention to what others thought, there was no need to be hostile towards them.
Lennon’s call to the nobles was aimed at this aspect of Dalimus.
“Anyway, everyone is welcome. “I will begin a sacred duel for honor.”
When the short speech ended, the people in the audience cheered.
The duel within the Bertio family that finally begins is nothing short of the best event in the East.
As the stadium heats up, one person walks through the middle of the stadium.
One of the protagonists of this duel was Lennon Bertio.
-Lennon! Lennon!
Not all of the nobles in the audience supported Lennon, but many of them were close friends of Lennon.
So, most of the cheers from the audience were overwhelmingly cheering for Lennon.
In the first place, Lennon sent a letter to the nobles who supported him asking them to attend this duel without Dalimus’ knowledge, so it was only natural.
That is why even nobles who value dignity were able to raise their voices loudly.
Chuck-Chuck-
Lennon walked out to the center of the stadium to the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd.
A face like a nobleman.
And the solid skeleton that he must have inherited from Dalimus was so good that it aroused admiration from those who saw it.
-Wow!
-Lennon! Lennon!
Countless applause and applause rang even louder.
This was heard especially loudly among the noble ladies who smiled passionately as if wooing Lennon.
Bertio, the next California candidate who may be in charge of the eastern region in the future.
Not to mention talent, there was no chosen partner yet.
There was no doubt that Lennon was a first-class groom, and there were many nobles here who sent their daughters in pursuit of this.
While everyone welcomed Lennon, only one person did not welcome him.
“….”
Dalimus expressed his complicated feelings as he looked at Lennon standing triumphantly.
What people’s attention was focused on was none other than their own children.
This was something to be proud of, but he was worried about whether things were going according to Lennon’s plan.
If we only look at the political aspect, Lennon’s arbitrary actions were by no means bad actions from Bertio’s point of view.
Leaving aside the fact that Lennon was the eldest son, this was an opportunity to publicize Bertio’s talent widely on the continent.
In any case, the gathering of nobles was like spilled water.
No matter how things progressed in the future, Dalimus watched the stadium, hoping that things would not escalate any further.
The opponent to face Lennon was just coming forward.
A helmet
that covers the entire face, and even gauntlets that stick out like reptile scales.
As a warrior fully armed with jet black crossed the stadium, the shouts of the nobles quieted down like ghosts.
The audience knew that Lennon’s opponent was Artes’ agent.
Therefore, not many people supported the mercenary, not even Artes himself, but only rumors abounded.
“Tsk, the second son is quite ugly too.”
Delkid, who was sitting next to Gunther and clicking his tongue, opened his mouth.
His eyes were looking at Ates, Bertio’s second son, who was seated next to Dalimus.
“No matter how different your skills are, shouldn’t you stand up for yourself?”
“The ability to understand the topic is also necessary.”
“You don’t seem like such a poor guy. “It looks like you’ve trained quite a bit.”
Despite Gunther’s words, Delcid seemed to have no intention of bending his thoughts.
Artes was smaller than Lennon, but his body was just as disciplined.
Through this, Delcid was able to see that the momentum he possessed was not small at all.
So I didn’t understand it even more.
The son of a great swordsman hides behind a substitute knight.
And the nobles who had the same thoughts as Delcid also clicked their tongues and pointed their fingers at Ates.
-Wow!
-Who is that person?
Contrary to Lennon, cheers of admiration erupted from the audience, who had not cheered much for Artes.
This was because the black knight who represented Ates took off the helmet that covered his face.
The sunlight shining down doesn’t seem that strong, so what’s so dazzling?
The young ladies make a fuss as they see the handsome man with a frown on his face.
“This is Spade, Master Artes’ deputy knight. Please take care of me.”
Roberto, who looked more like a nobleman than a nobleman, opened his mouth.
Everyone watching this had different reactions.
The girls are crazy about Roberto’s appearance, which shines exceptionally in the white sunlight.
And Dalimus’ eyebrows also rose, as he had not expected that it was Roberto and not Dio.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
And like Dalimus, another person who thought Dio would come forward was Gunter.
He burst into laughter wondering what was so funny.
“What’s so funny?”
“Haha no. okay. Right.”
Delcid, who had never met Dio, left Gunther, who was having fun alone, and watched Roberto closely, standing next to Lennon.
“He was very handsome.”
However, Delcid did not know whether he possessed strength comparable to Lennon.
And strangely, the mercenary who introduced himself as Spade did not seem to like sunlight.
Among these various reactions.
One person among the crowd bent down, pulling on his hood.
* * *
While the heat in the amphitheater was heating up, Dio, the person who had a fight with Lennon, was not there.
This is because there are things that must be done in future plans.
‘Eastern region purification quest. ‘There’s only one chance now.’
Dio recalled the time when he was raising a knight class among max level characters.
In order to raise the knight class, whose reputation on the continent was more important than that of other classes, Dio traveled to many more regions than other classes.
The wider your radius of action, the more your reputation will spread to many places.
And at that time, Dio was able to find a hidden quest related to the purification of the eastern region.
This quest can be performed by players with an appropriate level of 200 or higher, and the reward is quite unique.
Let’s briefly summarize the rewards.
It allows players who complete the quest to have advantageous interactions with people related to honor throughout the East and within the Empire.
Reputation value given to the player.
The higher your reputation, the more people will recognize you, and you will be eligible for quests with high rewards.
However, fame is as difficult and time-consuming as leveling up.
However, Dio’s reputation is limited by the Luna Church.
Likewise, what happened in Oaks this time also means that if the Luna Church had not claimed him to be a heretic, his reputation would have been much higher than it is now.
In any case, since Dio cannot rise to fame normally, this quest is the only way to receive the rewards that come with fame.
‘My level is now over 300. To level up faster, simply hunting is not enough.’
It is not easy to raise to level 300 on the order board, but among real experts, level 300 is considered to be the real turning point.
The section where the experience required increases exponentially every time you level up is called ‘Hell’ even among players.
Players who entered the Hell section realized early on that it was not easy to level up using normal hunting methods.
So in the end, the only way is to clear quests with high risk factors.
The problem was that all quests suitable for level 300 players boasted extremely difficult levels.
One way to solve this problem is reputation.
As the player’s reputation increases, the number of people who help him increases and even lowers the difficulty of quests.
This is exactly what Dio was aiming for now.
This hidden quest allows you to gain advantageous situations by building reputation without having to work hard to build it.
In other words, even if his reputation is low, important people on the order board recognize Dio, who solved this hidden quest, and treat him favorably.
‘Even if we could solve this, it would still be difficult.’
Of course, lowering the difficulty of the quest only means that it is easier than before, but it does not mean that you can easily solve it and collect the rewards.
However, Dio did not think that the advantage of this quest was simply to level up more easily than now.
I realized early on that it was impossible to fight against the Luna Church on my own.
Among the talented people involved in this, meeting people who may not be colleagues but who can help is what D.O. needed right now.
‘It was a hidden quest with no strategy.’
I knew several old people, including Dio, who knew that this Hidden Quest would exist.
Dio was thinking of applying it.
* * *
First, Dio had to find the item that was the starting point of the quest.
Only if you have this item can you finally complete the hidden quest.
And Dio knows that it is in the knights’ quarters in Lord Bertio’s Castle.
‘I figured out how to sneak in, and it worked out really well.’
Dio had the intention from the beginning to take as much as he could from Bertio.
One of them was a hidden quest, and suddenly Dalimus created the stage, making it easy to complete.
Because now that the duel begins, the knights’ quarters are empty.
Since it is an event related to the succession to the next head of the family, most knights are on high alert around the amphitheater.
Moreover, it is natural that even off-duty drivers were curious about the match between the two and voluntarily headed to the stadium.
For skilled Vertio knights, the invisibility cloak would not have much effect.
So now that they were empty, it was a very opportune time for Dio.
Squeak –
Dio opened the door to the dorm, looking around to see if anyone else was there.
He skillfully moved his body and headed toward the center of the dorm.
‘The maids might come to clean it, so as quickly as possible…’
Dio stood tall in the middle of the quite messy accommodation.
He is standing in the center of the main hall.
And I saw four pillars supporting the center.
‘Three steps to the right.’
Dio walked slowly and looked at the marble tiles that decorated the floor of the hotel.
Kang!
Dio, who assured that it was the exact location in his memory, removed the tile to reveal the floor.
Sigh!
Patter –
Dio put on a gauntlet taken from his inventory, put his fingers together, and penetrated the hard stone floor.
Due to Dio’s strength, he broke through the hard stone floor as easily as tofu, and eventually he was able to hold one object in his hand.
“Phew-”
A water drop-shaped gem with a lot of dust stuck to it.
As Dio blew it with his mouth, the jewel that had been dormant for a long time showed off its brilliant color.
