Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 141

Episode 141

“It’s not something you little bastards should interfere with.”

“I’m sorry. I think I’m famous too. “This kind of treatment.”

The five swords Elaine and the mercenary king Agram face off tightly.

Meanwhile, Dio smiled slightly and recalled the conversation he had with Agram a while ago.

* * *

“It’s an offer I can’t refuse…what a fun friend.”

There are two main reasons why Agram was very interested in Dio’s words.

Firstly, he was not easily caught up in his own speaking style.

Second, what did he believe and why did he guarantee that it was an offer he could not refuse?

“For your information, please know that my price is a bit high. “I may say so myself, but among mercenaries, I am the best.”

“I know.”

“As I said at the beginning, I am not saying that it will end with giving away the Demon Lord’s treasure. If you want to use me, you need enough gold to buy a city…”

Agram was about to explain the standard for the price, but Dio’s open palm cut him off.

“Five.”

“Five? “What do you mean by five?”

“In the magic world, there are not only things like magic stones but also valuable items.”

“thing?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Things like legendary grade artifacts.”

“Ohh.”

Artifacts vary greatly depending on their grade.

The legendary artifact that Dio mentioned is something that cannot be easily obtained even if you have a thousand gold.

Of course, it is not that they did not think that there might be a legendary weapon hidden in the magic world that humanity has not yet discovered.

However, unless you know if it is real or where it is, it is just like an imaginary treasure.

However, Agram thought that Dio might be the only person who could obtain them all.

Even aside from the fact that Dio is so confident, he is an apostle of the sun god who predicted the threat of the Demon Lord.

“You’re giving me five?”

“no. “I’ll give you all but five.”

Agram’s eyes narrowed slightly at Dio’s explanation.

“Look at this guy? How precious is a legendary grade artifact? “If you take five, doesn’t that mean you’ll take them all?”

“It can’t be. I bet you can get at least ten.”

“Hmm…then that’s a different story. “What is its value?”

“Enough to buy a city.”

Agram quickly reacted to Dio’s suggestion.

The goal was to calculate whether this transaction would actually benefit or incur a loss.

In addition, it was not easy to judge not only the details of the transaction but also whether the other party’s words could be taken literally.

Of course, as a result of combining various evidences as before, I was inclined to believe that it was trustworthy.

“What do you want?”

“I want you to protect me until the end of this expedition.”

“Huh, that was it. “It looks like you don’t have a good relationship with the Luna Church.”

“So you’re not asking Agram for a favor? “If you have a mercenary group, or even you alone, you won’t be able to easily fight them.”

“That’s right. But five is too many.”

Agram’s greedy eyes shine.

This is the moment when Agram’s negotiation skills, which have been negotiating with countless people, are activated.

Agram looked into Dio’s eyes and thought.

‘I specified the number. He probably plans to take care of the most valuable of the artifacts.’

After completing all calculations, Agram grinned and stretched out two fingers.

“Except for two, I keep all the rest.”

Agram’s firm determination to have more than half of the five artifacts that Dio covets.

“That’s not possible. I absolutely need them for the cause.”

“Huh, then there’s nothing we can do. “I have nothing to regret.”

Agram turned away as if he had no regrets.

Indeed, his pushing and pulling skills are no joke.

At that time, Dio spoke something that stopped Agram in his tracks.

“Ha…only I know the location of the treasure. “If I were to have an accident, wouldn’t Agram be sad too?”

“….”

“You can be greedy and not get anything.”

“Is it pretty good?”

Agram responded to Dio’s words with a grin.

However, Agram shook his head left and right as if he had no intention of giving in easily despite Dio’s threats.

It was Agram’s obsession that five could never be accepted.

“Then, please just look at up to three. “They are essential items not just for me, but for the sun that will shine in the future.”

“Three…”

Agram stroked his chin and pondered Dio’s renegotiation.

As he said, if you are more greedy, you may miss out on what you have gained, so Agram, thinking that this was a successful negotiation, opened his arms.

“haha! “What should I call you? My employer!”

“Please treat me like normal.”

“good. “As instructed!”

Agram put his hand on Dio’s shoulder as if he was satisfied, and Dio looked regretful.

But that wasn’t the case inside.

‘As planned.’

Because there were only three things Dio wanted from the beginning.

No, the legendary grade artifacts that can be obtained from this expedition were not very good except for the three that had to be tried in the first place.

Nevertheless, since it is a legendary grade, its value is quite high, as the saying goes, even if it rots, it is worth it.

Negotiations turned out easier than expected.

Since Agram is a person who knows honor, the increase in favorability at that time played a role.

He came from an aristocratic background and had a background related to saving money, which worked well for him.

Now Agram will protect himself to receive his reward.

Now that he has received a confirmation, Dio can use Agram effectively.

The first is Elaine, the five-handed sword.

Dio, who was planning to immediately use Agram as a countermeasure against her, smiled insidiously.

* * *

‘You must be active because the reward is great.’

Dio thought as he watched Agram helping him as a relief pitcher.

After successfully negotiating with Agram, Dio gave him one instruction.

He told me to watch and protect myself because the High Elves of the Luna Church would attack me when I was left alone.

That is why Agram was willing to step forward.

A sure reward for him from this expedition.

Now that Dio has convinced him of this, Agram has a justification to protect his life.

Maybe that’s why it was a definite show of force, unlike in Galleto.

“Elf sister. That friend became my employer? For mercenaries, trust is more important than anything else. “Shall we hang out here?”

The sharp purple blade of Agram’s sword sparkled, and its tip was pointed precisely at Elaine.

Agram’s warning that he will gladly respond if you cross the line.

As a mercenary king who would do anything for money, Agram was never afraid of clashing with the five swords.

Elaine also seemed to sense that the disruptor was an unusual person, and just stared at him and Dio in silence.

Elaine, a high elf, was not only excellent at archery but also at close combat.

In addition, the original race of elves uses their own unique magic based on their higher mana affinity compared to other races.

‘One-on-one will be difficult even for Agram. However, if she thinks about the mercenaries under her command and me, Elaine will not go forward without a care.’

The ‘Black Fang’ mercenary group led by Agram is known as the strongest mercenary group on the continent.

Elaine seemed to consider it.

Otherwise, Elain would have willingly accepted Agram’s challenge.

“….”

After a tense confrontation, Elaine lowered the hand that held the dagger without any response.

Like Galletto, it seems he plans to wait for the next opportunity.

Elaine glared at Dio once, then turned her back and quickly disappeared.

“Hwiyu~ It’s not a joke, is it?”

Agram also put the long sword he was holding into his waist and approached Dio.

“It’s common for elves to dislike humans, but… it seems they especially dislike you? “Do you think you’ve defeated some kind of enemy?”

When asked by Agram that he needed to know the client’s surroundings since his life was at stake, Dio shook his head as if it was no big deal.

“It’s not that big of a deal. Isn’t it obvious that the Luna Church is wary of me? They are on guard against the sun. “Such friction is something I prepared for during this expedition.”

“Well, I don’t know if he participated in this expedition with the intention of accusing him of heresy.”

Agram nodded as if he understood what Dio said.

“One life isn’t enough, right? “I don’t know if I walked the line correctly.”

Agram opened his mouth slyly.

Even though he whined, Dio assured him that there was no way he would stray from his rope.

Agram is a person who is never afraid of the power of the Luna Church, and above all else, he pursues practicality.

“Why are you so upset? “I am the type of person who repays favors twice.”

Dio grinned at Agram and handed him a heavy pouch.

Shiny gold coins in the pocket.

Agram looked slightly surprised when the number of gold coins in it appeared to be well over 50.

50 gold is a large amount of money that veteran mercenaries can only afford after working hard for several years.

That’s assuming you only eat three meals a day.

Of course, it may not seem like a big deal to him as a mercenary king, but the more money, the better.

Seeing Dio casually handing over such a large amount of money increased Agram’s trust in him.

“Receiving an advance will not mean that the compensation I promised will disappear or be lowered.”

“You are my number one customer.”

“Shouldn’t we take care of the Black Fangs as well? It was packed generously. “If it’s not enough, I’ll take action on my own.”

“okay. “I will tell my family well.”

Dio hoped that not only Agram, but also the Black Fangs he led, would do their best to help him.

And Agram, who understood this, seemed very satisfied and put the heavy bag into his bosom without hesitation.

‘All we need right now is Agram…’

Even though Black Fang’s crew is made up of veteran mercenaries, I don’t think they can stand up to five swords.

However, Dio needs to gain the favor of the continent’s most famous Black Fang in order to consolidate his power in the future.

If you give to them, when Agram steps up for Dio, they too will expect great rewards and volunteer to help.

‘I need everything in Agram now. Until I raise my level a little more.’

Dio, who was watching Agram leaving, was lost in thought.

The five swords, including Elaine, currently here have a strength of about level 400.

In the Order version of the world, those over level 400 are referred to as transcendents.

They are literally monsters with strength that transcends humans or other races.

So Order Board players had to not only hunt and level up, but also behave well towards them.

If you make a mistake, you could suddenly die like a frog hit by a blind stone.

They say that in order to play the Order Board without being noticed by the Transcendents, you have to reach at least level 400… This is

a ridiculous experience requirement starting at level 300.

Most players give up before they even gain strength equivalent to transcendental level.

‘But I like the conditions.’

Thanks to Solari’s accumulator, Dio’s stats increase twice as much as others.

Dio’s current level is 312.

Considering that Solari’s blessing is applied starting at level 250, Dio had to be raised to at least level 325.

Only at that level will you have the minimum ability to fight those called transcendents.

‘But to be sure, I need to raise it to level 350.’

If that happens, you will be able to act as you please without having to worry about what the five swords think.

Because being superior to strength is a sure way to become free.

The grounds were sufficient.

‘To be safe, you have to be greedy. Since this expedition is so large-scale, we need to be careful that the experience points are distributed. In that case…’

Dio’s eyes, full of thoughts of monopolizing all the experience points, began to shine.
