Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 121
Episode 121
“It’s a good sword.”
Gunther looked at Gram and thought about the mercenary he had just encountered.
Usually people ask useless questions in order to talk to themselves for longer.
So it’s been a very long time.
The other person who recommends breaking up before Gunther himself leaves.
As if he didn’t want the story to be long.
‘You can’t behave like this even though you know that you came under His Majesty’s orders.’
Is he doing this because he knows I can’t touch him?
Or is he just acting the way he wants to?
The more I thought about it, the more I became curious about his true identity.
-If I get a chance, I would like to share the stories I couldn’t tell you today.
Gunther recalled Dia’s last words.
It was as if he had a story to tell, but couldn’t tell it right now.
“He’s not just a man who knows how to swing a sword.”
When it comes to swordsmanship, skill is important, but head fighting is also important.
Making a move by anticipating the next move and how the opponent will behave.
That is the quality of a perfect prosecutor.
‘I guess I’ll just have to report this for now.’
Through this brief encounter, Gunther was unable to completely understand the existence of Diamond, but he was certain of one thing.
That means the knowledge is very high.
I feel a level of expertise that I would never feel from a man of similar age to my son.
Gunther, who is now approaching the age of half a century, has met many people over a short but long period of time.
Have you ever been swayed like this by simple words?
Although I received from him a great treasure called Gram.
Gunther was puzzled by the fact that he received this without any burden.
Didn’t he end up being liked as a result?
Of course, even if he had not received the sword, he would have been sufficiently interested and well-liked.
‘Dalimus’ eldest son…he messed with a beehive for no reason.’
Gunther recalled the rumor he heard as soon as he entered Bertio’s territory.
It’s a rumor that’s being whispered about, but everyone knows it.
The story is that a mercenary who was active in Ox fights a duel with Lennon on behalf of Artes.
The eldest son of the Bertio family had a reputation as a promising talent just as much as his own son.
Gunther also recognized this, having seen his skills before.
It is not clear exactly what level of DIA’s skills are.
However, Gunther can predict the level.
Survived a confrontation with Luave.
This was impossible unless you were a sword expert or higher.
Just looking at this, DIA’s skills are superior to those of Del Cid and Lennon, but they can never be considered lower.
‘It will be a very interesting match.’

“Whoa – I feel like I only run into people who are difficult to deal with these days.”
Dio, who returned to the room, muttered as if complaining.
Currently, Dio is calling the group and telling them about his encounter with Swordmaster Gunther.
On the order board, there are characters who are deeply connected to the players and scenarios, such as Gunther.
The more you understand these people, the higher your chances of surviving the Order Board will be, so Dio will tell Gunther’s story to his colleagues.
“Why did that amazing person come to meet Dio?”
“Because he was so rampant in Ox… Even if that wasn’t the case, the opponent was Luave, so the Empire should be interested as well.”
Dio also thought carefully about Sepia’s question.
It is natural that the stronger you become and the greater your threat, the higher your reputation will increase.
The reputation system that exists on the order board also had this effect.
“There is something more important than us becoming stronger now. Does anyone know what it is?”
“We need to find out who the force that remembers the forgotten god is, right? “Only then will we be able to decide on a side that can fight against Luna.”
“That’s right.”
Dio snapped his fingers at Sepia, who had correctly guessed the answer he wanted.
“The seven stars help, but they are not enough. Even if they don’t cooperate with us, we should at least make them not hostile towards us.”
Even as Dio, who boasts of being a deceased person, there was no information related to the forgotten god in his mind.
We simply infer new information by combining it with past information.
I didn’t know that some of the Pentacles were followers of the Forgotten God, and I didn’t know that one of them, the Witch of Balance, founded the Bertio family.
If so, there will be people in the Empire who know or are related to the Forgotten God.
“I thought Gunther didn’t know, but the emperor might know.”
“Anyway, I guess I can’t avoid Gunther’s surveillance as long as I’m in Bertio.”
“that’s right. We may need to proceed with a little more caution. There is a need to refrain from making hostile comments or actions. “Are you guys listening?”
Dio turned his head not towards Sepia but towards the other party members who had not responded so far.
Then Evelyn and Robert nodded at the same time.
“Okay, but can I keep the rest? “Because Roberto got one more than me.”
“It looks like you suffered a serious head injury. “Gauntlets are originally a pair of two.”
After Dio’s story ended, Evelyn and Roberto chatted as if they had an untold story between them.
Their conversation was about the numerous items that Dio had brought from the warehouse.
Numerous items brought from Malobon.
Dio immediately distributed the most necessary items to the group.
But even then, there were quite a few useful things left.
There is no need to save on artifacts and tools that can be useful to anyone.
Dio piled the rest on the floor for those who wanted to take care of them.
Eveline and Roberto were fighting to get it.
“Let’s get along and make some concessions.”
“But Dio! “Look at what’s hanging around that guy’s neck!”
At Roberto’s shout, Dio was able to discover the necklace hanging around Evelyn’s neck.
“Hey…the necklace’s effects don’t stack.”
“Eek! “But this necklace is shaped like a cross!”
“Whatever that is!”
The sight of vampire Roberto confidently asking what was wrong with the cross necklace was truly awkward.
Recently, as we became closer while taking care of Evelyn, it seems like she is becoming more and more stupid.
“Anyway, this is going as planned. Be aware of Gunther’s existence.”
“What was the original plan?”
Dio wiped his face in response to Evelyn’s question, which he had not heard because he was in the middle of a fight with Roberto.
But what can you do?
I have no choice but to explain it to my poor companions once again.

The four days that Dalimus promised had passed.
The brightly clear weather seemed to bless the special event that was about to take place.
Powerful families from all over the continent, including the eastern region, the central, southern, and northern regions, gathered in one place.
Their destination is none other than the Duchy of Bertio.
Malobon, the most developed city among the territories.
Numerous carriage processions entering Malobon.
Because there were so many of them, it was only natural that the checkpoints were congested.
And in anticipation of this, the nobles who arrived at the castle a day earlier were having a social gathering at the banquet hall prepared by the dukedom.
“Hello, Baron Fitzwalter.”
“It’s been a while. “Viscount Dors.”
“As expected, it’s Bertio. “All the people who are difficult to see have gathered here.”
“Of course. Because this incident could change Bertio’s successor.”
“yes? “From what I heard, it’s not related to selecting a successor?”
The nobles gathered here now were not the only ones invited by Lennon himself.
There were many other nobles who visited after only hearing the rumors spread by Lennon, so they did not know the details of this incident, causing confusion in the conversation.
Therefore, the absurd rumors became even more inflated, and their expectations also grew.
Although the details are different, if you dismiss the story they heard, it contained this content.
Lennon and Ates are eligible heirs to the Duke of Bertio.
Depending on the outcome of the duel between the two, the head of the family, Dalimus, will award the winner the position of official successor.
Of course, this is different from the truth.
Dalimus thought it was a light duel that had nothing to do with the position of successor, and the source of the inflated rumors was mostly Lennon’s scheme.
Lennon, who had guaranteed victory in this duel, wanted to use his momentum after victory to let Dalimus know that he was the true successor.
“Lennon… I heard he rose to the position of senior expert at the age of 24.”
“I guess becoming a sword master at the age of 30 isn’t just nonsense.”
“But this time, I heard that the second son is being sent as a substitute driver?”
“Deputy driver? “Among the forces supporting the second son, is there a knight who can compete with the eldest son?”
“Oh, you know. In Ox…”
“The mercenary who defeated Luave? “Was it true that Master Ates was acquainted with them?”
“What would happen if they got attached to the second son…”
“Amazing? Still, Luave said he received help from the Luna Church and Vertio veteran knights.”
“Well, I guess I couldn’t have defeated the infamous Luave on my own.”
“Yes, I guess adding a little extra effort is exaggerated.”
The nobles also knew in detail about Luave’s notoriety, so they did not think that Dio defeated Luave alone.
However, because of the testimony of numerous eyewitnesses, it was acknowledged that helping to eradicate Luave would be strong enough to be possible.
The assumption made by most nobles was that the mercenary would also be strong enough to rival Lennon.
“If this happens, won’t the second son’s side be able to win?”
“Well, he’s a mercenary anyway…”
“No. They said he was a mercenary who rose to the S-class rank. “If the rumors are true, won’t your eldest son have a hard time?”
“okay. “If the rumors are true.”
The nobles talked with excitement.
Their purpose was to see how Bertio’s succession battle would turn out, but they couldn’t help but be interested in the fun of the original duel as well.
“The nobles in the hall, please move to the amphitheater.”
The butler’s voice rang out to announce that the time had come to the nobles in the banquet hall.
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
“No matter who wins, there will be a big impact in the East.”
The nobles could not hide their excitement about the upcoming duel and moved to the stadium guided by servants.
Bertio’s amphitheater located inside the castle.
As a master of swordsmanship, Bertio used to hold duels of knights every year.
And there was no better place to hold such a special event than here.
“Do you believe what they say, father?”
Aside from the position of head of the family, one of the people seated at the highest table spoke.
He was the son of Swordmaster Gunther and Delcid, who had been invited by Lennon to the imperial capital.
And the person he is talking to is Swordmaster Gunther.
Because they had a superior status than other nobles and were his close friends, Dalimus gave them special treatment.
“What do you mean?”
“Things like Ox’s mercenaries using sword techniques.”
“You’ll know when you watch. But I think it will be a fun duel, so watch and learn.”
Gunther remembered the mercenary he met the other day and grinned.
The Gram he requested has not yet been delivered to Delcid.
This is because they promised, but did not say when they would deliver it.
It is foolish to use Gram simply to express favor.
Gunther assured that Delcid’s mindset would change in this duel.
‘If you realize that the world is wide, your growth will accelerate further.’
Dio’s words when he slyly said that there was no one he could cross swords with.
Those words were something Delcid also lived by.
Clearly, Gunther also recognized Delcid as his own blood relative.
However, after meeting D.O., my thoughts changed.
That confidence, which may be arrogant, suits you, perhaps because it is meant for just one person.
