Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 115

Episode 115:

The all-powerful jade that absorbed the secret book.

Although nothing had changed on the outside, the abilities it possessed were quite different from those before.

—————

[Gracious All-Purpose Jade]

Added special effect – Fusion

Fusion: Can be fused with other items to give the user desired properties.

—————

Dio blinked as if he found it hard to believe that the added effect was ‘attribute granting’, which could be considered the highest level of item value.

Attributes are not simple abilities.

If you think about why the Salamander set, which can be worn at low levels, is stored in Dio’s warehouse, it is simple.

This is because the effects of items with attributes are very useful.

If you can gain the upper hand when fighting enemies, even if there is a gap in level, you can make up for it.

The attribute is that it can more than double its power in all aspects, whether attack or defense.

‘Give the desired properties? crazy!’

Additionally, the option to grant desired properties could be seen as the best among Dio’s items.

Dio’s assessment of the All-Purpose Jade was that it was a ‘general-purpose weapon’ just as he had requested in the Book of Secrets.

Except for the ability to change into various weapons, its attack power is lower compared to other legendary weapons.

However, if attributes can be assigned, all of these shortcomings can be offset.

‘And there’s fusion!’

Although Dio could not finish Luave, the experience gained from his death was significant.

Moreover, Dio, who has defeated many more demons than the rest of the party, is currently at level 301.

Among the weapons that match Dio’s current level, there are few that can be compared to the all-purpose jade.

As the level increases, the level limit is lifted and better items can be used, so I planned to use the all-purpose jade only for a short period of time.

However, if it can be fused with other items and even be given desired properties.

‘That means you can use it permanently!’

Moreover, fusion was ultimately like combining items.

Even if the effectiveness of the all-purpose jade itself is very low by obtaining a better weapon later, you can supplement it with fusion.

I don’t know why these two were merged.

It might be Calliope from 700 years ago or Arrangement from a thousand years ago.

However, Dio was able to understand why there had been no response to the question asking the Secret Book to show the most valuable item.

‘The book of secrets itself was a hidden piece. It wasn’t just there for guidance.’

The Book of Secrets didn’t fail to fulfill Dio’s question.

He must be confident that the secret book, which knows all the secrets of this stone chamber, is the most valuable item.

After thinking for a moment, Dio decided not to delve any further into this.

Anyway, the point is that you obtained an item of enormous value.

One problem is that they even took away the secret book that protects the warehouse…

‘I’m sure they won’t say something with this, right?’

It is impossible to re-divide the combined items.

If Dalimus asks you to return it, it is an item so valuable that you have to go to great lengths to take it.

* * *

“Haha, that happened.”

Dalimus, who was waiting for Dio’s group in the reception room, smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

Dio and his party went straight to Gaju to see the items they had obtained from the warehouse and told him the story about the secret book and the all-purpose jade.

Because there was no need to deceive.

“Was there such a treasure hidden in your family?”

Dalimus and Dio and the others were not the only people currently in the reception room.

It wasn’t clear whether Dalimus had called, but Artes was also sitting here, listening to Dio’s story and giving him an envious look.

“Athes. “You did a great job protecting me, but the mistake of leaving the family arbitrarily cannot be erased.”

“Of course. father.”

“Call me matriarch.”

“…Yes, matriarch.”

Ates, who thought deep down that he too would receive the family treasure, responded with despair at Dalimus’ words.

“And remember: “You and your brother are in a position to protect the treasure by inheriting the lion’s blood.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Dio, who had no desire to interfere in the stiff conversation between father and son, brought up the topic of compensation again.

“In the end, I think I ended up breaking one of the rewards the duke requested…is that still okay?”

The most important thing to Dio is the issue of ownership of the gracious and omnipotent jade.

To be sure, he asked Dalimus, and fortunately Dio didn’t get an answer that would worry him.

“Okay. In any case, the book that protects the warehouse belongs to the family itself, not the head of the family… In the end, that book also gained freedom.”

Dio and his companions looked puzzled at Dalimus’s unknown words.

“Oh, that book is something that ‘mother’ left behind when she was building this warehouse. “I expected there would be some secret.”

Ates once again looked confused as she heard the title “mother” coming from the head of the family again.

However, just like last time, Dalimus, who seemed to have no intention of saying anything about this, just waved his hand.

‘It looks like the head of the family has a lot of faith in Calliope…’

Dio, who was watching Dalimus, remembered the words left by Calliope, who had left somewhere a few days ago.

-There is still some research left on the Balrog horn. I will come get you when the time comes. Try not to wander too far.

-When is that?

-You know that, right? Our secret friend gatherings are always held at the same time.

After saying those words, Calliope suddenly disappeared.

When she spoke, she was probably referring to ‘Walpurgis Night.’

Calliope said that because Dio knew at what time Walpurgis Night was held.

‘…Why do you think I know everything?’

Unfortunately, Dio does not know the story about the seven stars related to the sun.

So, contrary to Calliope’s expectations, Dio, who had no way of knowing when the ‘time’ was, had to think about it in his own way.

‘You can raise your level while you wait…’

Of course, even if you decided on a hunting ground right away, you couldn’t go outside the lord’s castle according to Dalimus’ suggestion.

Going out in search of a hunting ground is possible after Dalimus releases control.

‘What else is there to do here until then?’

When you are wondering what to do in Yeongju Castle.

Suddenly,

the luxurious door of the reception room opened wide.

Surely the servants outside knew that the head of the family, Bertio, was talking here.

However, there is only one person who can kick in the door without warning like this.

The first-ranked successor to take over as the next Duke of Bertio.

It was Lennon Bertio.

* * *

Even if a rich person goes bankrupt, it lasts for three years.

The Duke of Bertio had a solid reputation as a swordsman and had amassed enormous wealth.

People say that it is a prestigious family that is wealthy enough to be compared to a kingdom that rules a country.

And that is somewhat close to true.

There was a main culprit who prevented such a family from surviving even one year, let alone three.

“Zenon Bertio. “I am returning now to say hello to the head of the family.”

Unlike Ates, who had a moderate physique, Zeno had a very well-trained body and bowed his head to Dalimus, who was sitting at the head of the table.

He seemed to have inherited the bloodline of Dalimus, a master of swordsmanship, and was exuding a sharp spirit.

In fact, although Zeno was a fool, he had considerable strength.

Even if he is a monarch who enjoys drinking and entertainment, the lion’s bloodline cannot be ignored.

Zeno, who noticed that gaze, frowned at Dio and then looked at Ates next to him and got angry.

“With what kind of face have you come before the head of the family? “You threw away all your responsibilities as a noble and tarnished your family’s name!”

“…I will not deny my fault for that. “Is that why you came back to the family to ask for forgiveness?”

Artes seemed nervous when she met Zeno for the first time in a long time, but she did not remain still.

“What about forgiveness! He probably came back because he wanted the position of head of the family! Lord! Please punish this man!”

Zeno scolded Ates’ protest.

“What does that mean? Haven’t you heard about Ox’s work? “Brother, warlocks have invaded from the east. What have you been doing so far?”

“It is not your business to meddle with your subject. “I have a lot of things to do as the next head of the family.”

“Is your job to have fun in the imperial capital? “Do you think I’m deaf?”

“…Shut up!”

In response to Ates’ rebuttal, as if he had heard something, Zeno looked at the matriarch’s gaze and continued speaking with a confident voice.

“It is also related to imperial affairs. Having friendships with them is also helpful to the family.”

“Since when did Bertio pay attention to the Central Continent?”

“That’s why you can’t take over the family. Isn’t that right, matriarch?”

In response to Zeno’s confident statement that playing with the central nobles was also work, Dalimus just silently looked down on the war of nerves between the two sons.

Looking at this situation, Dio was able to see how Bertio’s successor structure was going.

‘It’s Zeno before he became the head of the family…his handling skills aren’t bad. Is it the influence of the Chamberlain?’

The act of arbitrarily entering a place where the head of the family is present and speaking loudly was an impossible act unless one possessed a certain amount of power.

Zenon was putting it off as if everything he did was for the good of his family.

Whether his words were true or not, Dalimus seemed to have little interest in interfering with what Zeno was doing.

‘Because it is true that what Zenon does is helpful to the family.’

What can lead a political fight to your advantage is not a sword, but a word.

Although Zeno only enjoys entertainment, he ends up building connections with various nobles.

However, Zeno is not just a mere talker, he is actually a swordsman, so he more than meets the requirements to be the next head of the family.

Of course, these things cannot continue forever.

In the end, Zeno’s downfall is the future that Dio experienced.

Since Dio is the only one who knows the future, Dalimus will also remain silent.

“What are these dirty things? “Where are you crawling here?”

While Zeno was wondering how he could push Ates back, he expressed hostility toward Dio and his companions.

“What does he say?”

Dio told her not to interfere in the affairs of the nobles, so she stayed quiet, but when a disagreement occurred for no reason, Evelyn said something.

“Leave it alone. “It’s a lively age.”

“You be careful.”

“What what?”

Zenon was momentarily taken aback by Evelyn’s words of warning with her fist clenched.

Dio’s companions, who had no way of knowing about the succession battle or how the situation between countries was going, felt no emotion in front of Zeno.

A normal reaction for ordinary people would be not to even meet Zeno’s eyes.

However, Dio’s companions reacted completely differently, and Zenon made a bewildered expression.

Does he not know that he is the likely next head of Bertio?

“These vile things! You know who I am! “How dare you hold your head high and wag your tongue in front of the next head of the family?”

“Hmm…”

If I leave it like this, I might get hurt for no reason.

Of course, it’s not Dio, but the opponent.

‘I’d like to take a little care…is that okay?’

Dio patted his chin and met the gaze of Dalimus, who was watching all of this.

Dalimus nodded slightly enough for only Dio to notice, and Dio was convinced.

The duke will not take anyone’s side.

Even if you go on a rampage right here and now, the duke will turn a blind eye.

Dio slowly opened his mouth, realizing what he had to do while waiting for Calliope.

“Pick it?”
