Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 175

Episode 175

Sepia brought water to Dio, who was sitting and resting, and sat next to him.

“How did the rumor spread that so many people are excited about it?”

“Why? “They probably think we are the heroes who prevented the resurrection of the Demon King.”

“Still… isn’t it strange that you take Dio’s words literally? It’s like group hypnosis…”

“Uh-huh. “Hypnosis.”

Dio denied Sepia’s words.

To be honest, what Sepia said wasn’t entirely wrong.

A hidden quest to save the East by purifying Lennon, who has become a demon.

The reward of a significant increase in the friendliness of those who value honor shined even now.

Most of the nobles on the Order Board considered the dignity of honor to be important.

However, since he could not explain this to Sepia, Dio just passed her words over.

‘Well, I guess it’s not just because of that.’

Even if it wasn’t a hidden quest, according to Dio’s memory of the scenario’s progress, the player’s reputation would spread widely throughout the continent at this point.

In the end, the main scenario given to the player was to fight against the evil that was stalking the continent.

‘Since the expedition was completed, the frequency of monsters appearing on the continent has decreased… so they must believe that I am a hero.’

Without even having to check, Dio could tell that people who suffered from the frequent appearances of demonic beasts were praising Dio.

This is a situation that players have no choice but to experience on the order board.

‘Anyway, the speech wasn’t bad. Now all they have to do is spread the story they heard from me.’

Although Dio carried out missionary work to the nobles gathered at the banquet, the actual increase in the number of believers was not that large.

The number of people who participated in the banquet was in the hundreds.

However, those gathered here are people who fly and crawl even within the continent.

Dio was confident that if they returned to their respective territories and spread the doctrine of Solari, the number of believers would definitely increase exponentially.

‘I’m glad the emperor wasn’t too strict.’

Dio was not just focusing on missionary work here and there.

No matter how important it is to increase the number of believers, Gunther and the emperor cannot be ignored.

However, the conversation with the emperor ended briefly.

This was because the current atmosphere of the banquet hall was not suitable for having a serious conversation with the emperor.

So Dio politely asked that we postpone the serious conversation until later.

The relationship with the emperor was important, but it was inevitable because the number one thing to gain from this place was to increase the number of believers.

The emperor had a complicated expression, but fortunately he did not refuse Dio’s request.

This was one of the things Dio fully expected.

Because Dio clearly knows information about the emperor.

Among the order board NPCs that Dio knows, one cannot leave out Emperor Freud as the person with the highest knowledge.

The current emperor knows.

This means that the convenience of Dio, who is hailed as a hero, should be tolerated as much as possible.

As long as Dio doesn’t displease the Emperor, the Emperor will look after Dio.

Because the Emperor’s attitude toward players on the Order Board has always been like this.

Besides, if you say honor, it’s emperor. If you say emperor, isn’t it honor?

It must have had a big effect on the goodwill.

Anyway, the emperor and Dio finished their conversation briefly, and many nobles also bowed down to impress Dio.

Among them were nobles who treated the players with all kinds of abuse.

‘After all, the reputation must be high.’

When a player’s reputation exceeds a certain level, they are called a ‘hero’.

What D.O has done so far and numerous rumors.

And through Solari’s power, Dio’s reputation has risen to the point where he can be called a ‘hero’.

A player who is worthy of being called a hero does not have to worry about anyone.

Because the title of hero had a higher status than any other king or religion.

“Leader!”

Just as Dio was about to get up after finishing his business at the banquet hall, he heard a familiar voice calling him.

“A long time. Artes.”

“It’s Jack.”

“Did you change your name at all?”

“I’m thinking about doing that.”

Ates grinned at Dio’s words.

From Ates’ perspective, the journey he went through with Dio was definitely something to be proud of.

Even without asking, it seemed like Artes was already talking about it here and there.

This is the story of Jack’s adventures with the warrior Dio.

“I took the lead in publicizing the leader’s achievements.”

“okay? Could it be that you were waiting for us in the ecliptic the whole time?”

“sure! While I was waiting, I evangelized the Solari Church, which would become huge in the future. “I think I’ve already eaten the eastern part.”

Artes said proudly and Dio could see why his reputation had grown beyond what he had thought.

I forgot about it for a while, but Ates’ influence also had a significant influence.

Even though he showed off his ugly side in one way or another, wasn’t Ates the official successor to the dukedom?

“Good job.”

Ates rubbed his nose as if he was embarrassed by Dio’s praise.

“But is that story true?”

“What story?”

“The story is that the Five Swords converted to the Solari Church.”

“Oh, Elaine?”

“yes. High elf Elaine. “Isn’t that a joke just now?”

Artes said, looking at Dio with eyes full of interest.

A high elf who serves as a Heretic Inquisitor under the Luna Church.

Her specialness was already very famous among people.

Everyone already knows that Elaine joined the Eastern Alliance.

Ates also saw Elaine taking the lead in defeating the demonic beasts.

However, the reason Elaine turned to Dio’s side happened after the Allied Forces returned from the Demon World.

Artes couldn’t believe that Elaine, who had shown a harsh attitude in front of Prince Prian, was on Dio’s side, so he asked this to confirm.

“It’s okay to call it a conversion, but… it’s true that he joined our side.”

The world tree that the elves believed in was not Luna or Solari, but it was safe to say that the current Elaine, who was bound by the oath of liberation, was a believer of Solari.

“As expected, you are the captain. The kind of wit that can appease even an elf! “I want to emulate that.”

“I didn’t really persuade you with words.”

“But where is Elaine? “Oh, you didn’t attend the banquet on purpose?”

I thought that if it was the Elaine that Ates remembered, she would not be that interested in the banquet hall where humans gathered.

And Ates’s thoughts were clearly correct.

However, that is not the only reason why Elaine is not present.

“Elain has gone to her hometown now.”

“Hometown? If it is the home of the elves…”

* * *

Pandea, the forest of the elves.

Pandea was a place called the sanctuary of the elves.

Where the roots of the World Tree once began.

However, now that the World Tree has been destroyed, it is a space where the elves live in memory of the World Tree.

“Is that true? “Sister?”

In a gathering of numerous elves, a high elf dressed in a white robe asked his compatriot who had returned from a long journey.

“Really. “You all know why I left the elven forest.”

Elaine looked around at the elves surrounding her and opened her mouth.

The reason she left the forest and cooperated with the Luna Church was because of the World Tree.

The elves wanted the world tree to bloom again, and the Luna Church cooperated with this.

So, on behalf of the elves, Elaine provided help to the Luna Church.

“Our desire to revive the World Tree. The Luna Church has used it from the beginning.”

A crater with traces of Nidhogg’s explosion.

At the center, Elaine told the elves the truth that Dio had told her.

The world tree that the elves are trying to revive has already been corrupted by Luna.

And the fact that the Luna Church is trying to use this to make the elves their limbs.

“That’s ridiculous!”

“The world tree is polluted!”

“Then we…”

At first, the elves denied Elaine’s words.

It was difficult for the elves to accept the fact that the World Tree had been corrupted rather than the fact that the Luna Church had used a vicious trick.

“Remember! The actions we took to revive the World Tree. “How much blood did we shed among our own people because we were bewitched by the words of the Luna Church?”

“….”

Elain’s words shook the elves.

However, no one disputed that what she said was false.

The corrupted world tree that brainwashed the elves has now been completely destroyed.

The elves accepted Elaine’s persuasion.

The fact that they were deceived and abandoned their own people, called dark elves.

“The World Tree’s wind does not resurrect the fallen self. The World Tree just wants us to survive. This means that we can no longer look only at the world tree and fight among our own people.”

“So what should we do now? We have been living for revenge to save the World Tree…”

At the words of one elf, Elaine took out a red headband from her belt.

This was not just a headband.

It was a legendary artifact given by Dio.

Elaine was reluctant to wear this headband, but she remembered what Dio had said to her.

-Wear this if the elves don’t seem to be easily persuaded.

-What is this?

-What is it? It’s an item with a persuasive option. Even if it looks like this, it’s legendary.

-??

Elaine did not fully understand Dio’s words.

But for some reason, Elaine trusted Dio.

A person who rescued himself from the swamp of hatred.

A human who brought back a blood relative who had completely left.

Because it was the words of a human willing to take revenge on his behalf.

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t take revenge! “We must punish the Luna Church!”

The eyes of the elves changed at the sight of Elaine wearing the headband.

They also realized what Elaine said.

Who is the main enemy of the elves now?

“Dark elves will fight with us too!”

“Oooooh!”

“Let’s show the moon that corrupted the World Tree. “Our wrath!”

“Wrath!”

The elves repeating their names according to Elaine’s speech.

The elves who escaped from the corrupted World Tree were assimilated by Elaine’s anger.

“Judgement on the moon that deceived us!”

“Judgment!”

“Unite!”

“cohesion! cohesion!”

“Never take revenge! Never war!”

[Current number of followers of Solari: 99821]

Dio, who was resting alone in his room after the banquet, opened the system window and was happily watching the number of believers continue to rise.

‘About 1,000 people climbed up at once. It looks like Elaine is doing well.’

Dio smiled as he thought of Elaine, who would be carrying out her duties in the elf forest by now.

What the elves want is revenge on the Luna Church.

For this purpose, they would definitely force themselves to believe in Solari, so it was natural for them to be measured as followers of Solari.

‘I can rest comfortably for a while.’

Dio lay down comfortably on the bed and relieved the fatigue he had accumulated so far.

The emperor had requested that he attend the welcoming party tomorrow, and Dio had no intention of leaving the empire for the time being.

Unless Kaleina goes crazy, there’s no way they’d attack to kill Dio in the imperial palace.

[Current followers of Solari: 99903]

For Dio, who had nothing else to do during his break, watching the number of believers increase was the only entertainment he had.

As the number of believers increased, it meant that he became stronger, so it was a fun Dio just to watch.

‘It’s truly a dog-killing skill. ‘It will soon be 100,000?’

Dio smiled as he watched the number of believers continue to rise.

99989…99995….

Dio looked at the changing numbers from time to time, and the moment the number reached exactly 100,000.

Woe!

[D.O. Can you hear me?]

“!!”

A voice coming from inside my head.

Dio knew who this voice was.

“Solari?”
