Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 116

Episode 116

“What what?”

Zenon asked back, wondering if he had misheard what Dio said.

In response to Zeno’s reaction, Dio once again repeated what he had said himself as if it were not the same.

“so. “Are you sure?”

“This guy!”

Lennon, who had put his weight behind it because he was the head of the family, got angry when he heard D.O.’s words and stepped forward.

“Stop. “It is in front of the head of the family, and these people are the nobles who defeated the warlock in Oaks.”

“Won’t you get out of the way?”

Lennon looked down at Artes, who blocked his path, and growled.

Nevertheless, Artes continued calmly.

“These are people who were invited by the head of the family. “It means that you are not the type of person to treat carelessly.”

“….”

Hearing Ates’ words, Lennon glanced at Dalimus, who was guarding this spot.

Fortunately, Dalimus didn’t seem to care much, as always.

Lennon also knew about it because he heard a rumor on his way back to the estate.

There were mercenary groups that fought alongside the Bertio family in Ox.

But what does that mean?

“I guess you come from some kind of village and don’t know much…”

Lennon opened his mouth, glaring at Dio, who was seated behind Artes.

“Insulting a nobleman is a serious crime. “No matter what you did, you have now committed a crime.”

“You were the first to insult me.”

“cheeky! Know the gap in status. I heard your story briefly. Aren’t you a wandering mercenary whose identity and origins are uncertain? “How dare a commoner!”

“No, don’t insult me.”

“what?”

Lennon frowned, not knowing what Dio was trying to say.

Dio, who was just looking at the angry Lennon with amusement, pointed with his chin at Artes, who was anxious next to him.

“Isn’t your younger brother Ates also a nobleman? “I think you insulted Ates first.”

“They don’t even know this topic…!”

Lennon’s fists shook at Dio’s words.

He felt great anger at being told that he and Ates had dared to be put on the same level.

I want to kill the mercenary in front of me right now, but like Ates said, these are people who were invited by the head of the family.

Lennon walked up to Dalimus, who was at the head of the table, and opened his mouth.

“father. “You’ve seen everything, right?”

“I told you to call me maju.”

Lennon calmed down his excitement at Dalimus’ words and continued speaking calmly.

“Why did you invite people who don’t even know how to behave? The rumor that the warlock was killed may also be false. “Isn’t that something the knights of our great family solved?”

Lennon said, glaring at Dio.

He seemed to have a natural ability to slander others, as he spouted out words as if he had thought them out in advance.

“I saw it.”

“yes?”

Lennon looked up in surprise at the matriarch’s answer.

“But father… no, the head of the family has never left the territory, right?”

Lennon said this because he thought Dalímus had only heard rumors like he had.

Lennon, who knew that Dalimus would not lie due to his personality, was speechless for a moment.

“I saw the corpses of the warlocks with my own eyes. And there are many people who testified to his activities.”

“But…”

Lennon gritted his teeth at Dalimus’ firm words.

Lennon’s self-esteem and self-esteem were very high as he grew up hearing and being praised as a genius.

That’s why I can’t back out of here.

If Dio, who has made a dent in Lennon’s, is left alone, everything he has built so far may collapse.

“Matriarch! No matter how much effort they have made, they cannot overlook what happened just now.”

As always, Lennon gave the matriarch a good reason.

“That’s Lennon Bertio. There are many different types of tinnitus. “The eldest son of the great Duke Bertio, a swordsman and genius of the East.”

“On the other hand, what about this one? His name is unknown, his origin is unknown, he is from the East, his identity is unknown, and at most he has only a small amount of power…” “

Why do you care about that mercenary bastard more than me, whom you have known since I was born!”

“You have to make an important decision, matriarch.”

“Why do you allow people who don’t know the etiquette for nobles into the lord’s castle? For the sake of the family’s prestige, there must be a severe punishment for the insult just now!”

Dalimus nodded at Lennon’s brilliant words, and Lennon smiled as if he knew that would happen.

“Okay, since you want it so much, I guess we can make it an official match.”

“yes?”

What Lennon wants is punishment for Dio and his group, who did not hesitate to say disrespectful things about nobles.

‘A showdown? With that mercenary guy?’

Lennon, who did not receive the answer he wanted from Dalimus, looked puzzled.

“Matriarch! You mean a showdown? Are you saying I should cross swords with a commoner? The Bertio family’s swordsmanship will make you cry!”

“Who said it was a confrontation with the author? “The problem that has arisen now is between you and Ates.”

“yes?”

Dalimus took his eyes off Lennon and looked at Artes.

Ates also looked like he didn’t understand what Dalimus was talking about.

Dalimus, seeing the two sons, smiled and continued speaking.

“This incident occurred during a fight between Bertio’s official successors.”

Dalimus did not ignore what Dio said.

Accepting the fact that Lennon insulted Artes first.

“I hereby give permission for you two to fight.”

“Go, matriarch!”

“You all know that nobles are allowed to duel by proxy when participating in an official duel, right?”

When Dalimus spoke with special emphasis, Dio laughed to himself.

“Since when did the Bertio family fight with words? Prove it with swordsmanship.”

‘Are you willing to prepare a meal like this?’

It wasn’t just Lennon who was dumbfounded, but Artes too.

‘Damn Lennon…but he still has skills.’

Artes is more talented than most knights.

And Lennon is reputed to be stronger than Artes.

It may be true that he is called a genius.

Even though Ates grew up in Ox, he did not show much activity in battle.

Even if the gap narrows, Artes will not be stronger than Lennon right now.

However, this match is a duel between nobles with the head of the family directly observing.

As announced by Dalimus, substitute knights were allowed, and Dalimus seemed to want Dio to participate in the war.

‘Do you want me to fix Lennon? Or is it just to show Bertio’s confidence?’

It was difficult for Dio to accurately understand Dalimus’ intentions.

Although it cannot be said that Lennon’s personality is good, he is the number one successor to Bertio and is nothing short of Bertio’s pride.

‘You used your brain.’

This match was a stage to test Dio and Lennon at the same time.

“The match will take place exactly four days later. If there is no disagreement on this, everyone go out. “I still have work to do.”

“….”

Lennon was unable to refute Dalimus’s words, as he pointed out the date.

Lennon was the first to turn around and go out, and in the process, he made eye contact with Dio.

Dio pretended to scratch his nose with his middle finger when Lennon looked at him as he left.

Did he instinctively feel that the other person was insulting him?

Grinding –

the sound of Lennon grinding his teeth can be clearly heard.

“Whoa….”

Lennon was sitting in his room, trying to catch his breath.

This is a breathing method taught in the Bertio family.

After maintaining the breathing technique for a few minutes, Lennon was able to calm down his excitement.

“hey.”

“Yes, master.”

At Lennon’s gesture, one of his subordinates immediately delivered the report.

While talking to Dalimus, he had me investigate the mercenaries.

Lennon received the report and read it, flipping through it.

‘There are mercenary rags to chew on… not just one, but many.’

When Lennon thought of the mercenary who maintained an arrogant attitude in front of him, he became so angry once again that he almost lost his breathing technique.

But once again, I kept my breathing calm.

This part showed why he was recognized as a swordsman by not only his father but also the elders.

‘Athes. A mercenary will take his place. Seeing as my father only called that guy… he must be the leader.’

This duel was officially a fight between Ates and himself.

Of course, no grand compensation will be given, such as determining a successor based on this result.

But for Lennon, it was a matter of pride.

‘You coward. ‘Why don’t you bring in mercenaries without knowing that my talent is lacking?’

Lennon had no doubt that Ates was jealous of him and ran away from home.

As expected, Artes fell far short of Lennon himself in the ‘swordsmanship’ aspect, which can be considered the most important virtue in a swordsmanship master.

‘You should be ashamed. To receive help from a mercenary whose identity I don’t know….’

While Lennon was pondering his anger towards Artes for a long time, there was a knock on the door.

“Who are you?”

“That’s me. young master.”

“…come in. “Oh, you’re leaving.”

Lennon immediately recognized the chamberlain’s voice and slowly opened his closed eyes.

Lennon’s men left and the Chamberlain came in immediately.

“I heard the news. This time, you are dueling with a little master…”

“Yes. That petty bastard will appoint a substitute. Those mercenaries who went on a rampage in Ox this time… did you hear anything? “I guess this isn’t enough.”

Lennon rolled up the report he had received from his subordinate and tapped it.

“Are you saying that those blasphemous bastards attacked you? “Oh really.”

Lennon responded to Artes’ angry words.

“Why are they meddling in family affairs?”

“I don’t know. It’s obvious that they get along well. “Anyway, they are these bastards.”

“Still, I think we need to be careful.”

“Do you think I’ll get hit by those guys?”

“I guarantee your skills, Master. “Not even Bertio’s knights can reach your feet.”

The chamberlain’s flattery made Lennon feel much better, and the chamberlain’s words continued after examining his mood.

“But there are rumors that the mercenary uses sword techniques.”

“Black energy? gibberish!”

Lennon snorted at the chamberlain’s words.

That guy is at the level of a sword master?

This is an absurd story that cannot be dismissed as nonsense.

Lennon has already seen the mercenaries before his eyes in the throne room.

Although it is acknowledged that they are not as ignorable as Artes, the idea that they are sword masters is truly nonsense.

‘The expression he gave off didn’t have that of my father.’

Lennon, who did not want to acquire knowledge in any field, received instruction several times from the head of the family, who was serious about swordsmanship.

So even if I didn’t want to know, I had no choice but to know.

This is the level that Dalimus has reached.

“Chief Chamberlain.”

“yes. young master.”

“Gather the crowd. “I extend invitations to all the nobles who are close to me and to the nobles in the East who are still hesitant about whose side to side with.”

“You mean an invitation to this duel? But I’m sure the head of the family wants things to proceed quietly. “The family’s unspoken rules…you know.”

Despite the Chamberlain’s worried words, Lennon’s will was firm.

“No, I will use this opportunity to prove it to everyone. “Your father might want this too.”

Dalimus is a person who is serious about swordsmanship.

Lennon thought that there was a hidden reward in Dalimus’ decision to decide between right and wrong between his children.

‘If I make Ates and the mercenaries who follow him kneel in front of everyone… I will definitely be established as the next head of the family.’

* * *

“You will stay for a moment.”

“yes?”

Dio, who thought there would be nothing more to see at the end of the story, looked at Dalimus, who had called him out.

Dio, who was expecting to say something secret, sent his companions outside and approached Dalimus alone.

“I put an unnecessary burden on you.”

“no.”

“I won’t know until later, but Artes is still not good enough to deal with Lennon.”

Even though he didn’t show it on the outside, Dio could tell that Dalimus was very concerned about the relationship between his two sons.

“Artes will grow even more than now. But not now. And you know that too.”

“Is that so?”

“I want to give both my sons the same opportunity. Lennon has his quirks, but I hope he learns a lot from his confrontation with you.”

“….”

Dio wanted to say that Lennon would eventually lead Bertio to destruction, but he couldn’t.

Because the future can change at any time.

Dio had already pledged to take care of Lennon, but when Dalimus, who cared about his son, said this, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to get over this incident easily.

“Anyway, it looks like I’ll be inadvertently indebted to you again.”

“no.”

“No, we need to be clear about this.”

Are they trying to give me some kind of reward?

Dio didn’t need anything else in Bertio’s warehouse, so he wasn’t particularly impressed by Dalimus’ words.

An unexpected story came from Dalimus’ mouth.

“You said you wanted to gain insight into my swordsmanship as a reward, right?”
