Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory - Chapter 47

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 47

Episode 47,

Estellum, is a stage with the motif of Romania, the setting of the famous Dracula.

Of course, the monsters around Estellum are basically vampires.

This level of preparation is basic when dealing with vampires, who, like the undead, are weak against objects made of silver.

“But Ludens introduced himself as a vampire lord. Are vampires also believers in the sun?”

Dio asked Evelyn, recalling the relationship between Ludens and the vampires living in Estellum.

“Well…different from witches, vampires have many different forces. Most of those not under Ludens’ command are probably bad guys, right?”

“Witches aren’t bad people?”

Dio thought of witches who were clearly ‘enemies’ and ‘monsters’ to the player.

“We don’t bother people! Well, even though we treated them a little roughly for the sake of research…”

“Are you just going to criticize me for attacking the farm because it was rough?”

“Well…don’t I have to make a living too? Still, I don’t run into people. “Especially young children, they never touch it.”

“I’m proud.”

Evelyn huffed at her cursory reply, but Dio was armed so that he could use the tools he had taken out.

“Anyway, I don’t know the details, but… isn’t there a difference between the vampires that have existed since ancient times and the vampires that were born after the Holy Demon War? And from what I heard from Master, Ludens’ blood relatives are further north than here.”

“okay. “You mean you’re not an ally?”

Dio nodded at Evelyn’s explanation.

For Dio, who had planned to raise his level by hunting vampires, this was a fortunate thing.

“But why are all the weapons made of silver? “How much is that all…”

Evelyn asked, looking at the various weapons Dio had taken out.

“Don’t you know that silver stakes are a vampire’s weak point?”

“…Isn’t that the same for witches?”

Evelyn was completely frightened by the words of Dio, who was holding a pile of silver stakes that looked rather soft due to their high purity, and hid behind Sepia.

“Even if it’s not a stake, you should take some with you.”

“huh!”

“Don’t swipe.”

“Yes…!”

If you think about the silver weapon that also worked on Ludens, just being armed with a simple silver weapon will be enough to prepare you for dealing with vampires.

After completing all preparations, Dio and his companions immediately went to bed to prepare for tomorrow’s journey.

* * *

The morning dawned brightly and the snow had stopped falling. It was a sunny morning.

The snow that had been falling during the night stopped and Dio, who welcomed a sunny morning, began to go down the mountain with his companions.

Eventually, they were able to discover the Estellum estate with a towering old castle in the distance.

A gloomy atmosphere that can be felt even from afar.

There was a cemetery at the entrance to the estate, and even though it was broad daylight, it didn’t seem strange if a corpse popped out at any time.

‘Are you okay?’

It was a territory that gave off an overtly suspicious atmosphere, but I guess it was not for the people of Orderpan, which has a medieval background.

Anyway, before entering Estellum, Dio took appropriate measures to hide Sepia’s appearance.

“Can you hide Sepia’s appearance?”

“It’s simple.”

At Dio’s words, Evelyn waved her wand and soon the recognition-impairing magic was applied to Sephia.

“Others will see you both as having yellow hair and blue eyes. My impression also changed slightly. Make them look like brother and sister!”

“I’m keeping the hood on.”

“all right.”

Since there was a very high possibility that the Luna Church was after her, it was better to hide Sepia’s appearance.

It was obvious that if he hid it too closely, he would be more suspicious, so he ended up disguising himself as an ordinary traveler using only Evelyn’s magic and a hood.

Unless they are stronger than Evelyn, ordinary people will not recognize Sepia.

“Let’s stay at the accommodation first and plan our itinerary.”

“yes.”

“What does northern food taste like?”

After Sepia’s answer and Evelyn’s highly anticipated words, the group entered a nearby lodging, unpacked their luggage, and had a light meal.

“Wow…I’ve never had a soup with so much meat in it!”

For Evelyn, who only ate potatoes, any kind of meat would be delicious, but the sight of her happily eating it seemed to increase her appetite.

“What should we do next?”

Sepia asked after finishing the meal, and Dio began to explain what he had planned.

“I need a new identity.”

“Ah…is it because of the church’s tracking?”

“okay. I think the name needs to be changed too. Evelyn, you can’t act like a witch, right?”

Dio took out the D-class mercenary badge he had been issued in Rivernos and said.

“mercenary…! Looks like fun! But didn’t you say you were looking for someone?”

“okay. But all we know is that it’s somewhere here in Estellum. “It’s not efficient to search for it alone.”

Estellum is not a very big city.

Dio decided that if the person Ludens was talking about was somewhere in Estellum, he would naturally be able to meet him.

In that case, it would have been a good idea to do everything that could be done in Estel Room before proceeding with the main quest in earnest.

‘Hunting, quests, whatever.’

* * *

Estellum is not a safe area like River North, so it is an area that also has the attributes of a hunting ground, like villages where monster waves exist.

Perhaps that’s why this place was like an advance base for not only mercenaries but also adventurers looking for hunter artifacts that hunt vampires.

Dio, who knew these characteristics, had already thought about what to do first.

“We act first as mercenaries.”

“You mean you’re taking a request?”

“okay. “I naturally blend into Estellum.”

Like most of the North, Estellum is a ‘real’ open world, so it’s an area outside of the main story.

The main story told here is not about the quest that occurred when Dio met Ludens.

It refers to the overall temporal flow of the order board and the main story in which major events take place.

‘So it’s safe to say that Estellum is not actually a city, but a level 150 hunting ground.’

Dio’s first goal was to raise his level to 150.

Most of the monsters that appear in Estellum are undead monsters.

In particular, the graveyard hunt, which can be said to be a famous quest, is a simple task of dealing with ghouls and zombies.

After thinking, Dio got up from his seat, and Sephia and Evelyn followed him.

At that moment, a group of mercenaries entered the restaurant.

“Hey, did you hear the news?”

At the deep voice, Dio’s eyes naturally turned to the group of mercenaries, but the mercenaries sat down without paying any attention to their surroundings.

“What news?”

“I mean Rivernorth.”

When the word Rivernos appeared in the mercenaries’ story, Sephia flinched and stopped.

Dio also sat down again and listened to what the mercenaries were saying because it could be important information.

“I heard the Inquisitor turned Rivernos upside down this time?”

“okay? But isn’t there a very strong knight there?”

“Sigmund?”

Dio, who was listening to the mercenaries’ story, thought that Sigmund’s reputation, which extended even to the far northern region, was great, but that was not important right now.

“okay. Anyway, I heard that knight Nari was taken away by the Heretic Inquisitor?”

“why?”

“I don’t know the details. I heard a rumor that he was involved with demons…”

“Oh, really… that Sigmund?”

“Besides, they said they were looking for people involved in it. “I think his name was Dio…Sepia.”

“How much will I get if I catch it?”

The mercenaries started talking more and more, sharing information, and Dio slowly got up from his seat because there was no more information to be gained.

“let’s go.”

Dio took Sephia, who was frozen, and went out of the building.

‘In the end, not even Sigmund could stop the Luna Church.’

Dio had a glimmer of hope that he could somehow persuade Sigmund to stop the Luna Church’s pursuit.

However, as the status of wanted status became clear through the stories of the mercenaries, there was a need to move even more cautiously.

“But why did Master Ludens expose you to danger?”

“It’s not me. “That damn old man.”

Dio responded harshly to Evelyn’s question that he couldn’t understand.

“But there must be a reason for everything the seven stars do.”

“I can understand if you adjust the difficulty level. “Of course, if it’s a game and not reality.”

“You sometimes say strange things.”

Dio left behind the grumbling Evelyn and found the mercenary office with his companions.

Jingling-

“Hello. “This is the Estellum mercenary office.”

A man who looked very tired, perhaps due to the large number of mercenaries coming to Estellum, welcomed Dio.

‘The office is small compared to its size.’

Dio went inside, following the guide who looked exhausted and pale.

After receiving appropriate guidance, Dio began work as planned, prioritizing obtaining a mercenary badge.

Through the crystal ball that determines the level, Sepia was able to obtain a D grade, Evelyn was able to obtain a C grade mercenary card, and Dio paid a reasonable amount of silver.

Of course, not Dio’s name, but another pseudonym called ‘Leo’.

“If you bring the appropriate request through the poster at the end, we will process it quickly.”

At the guide’s words, Dio walked towards the place where mercenaries and hunters were gathered.

“Wow, that’s a lot.”

Evelyn became interested as she looked at the numerous request forms posted on the fairly large poster and looked them over.

Since Estel Room is a place far away from the main quest, there were a variety of side quests, or pastimes, and there were many of them.

“How about hunting the vampires that haunt the Northern Cemetery? Otherwise, clearing out zombies or ghouls is fine. “I need their fingernails and blood for my research.”

Evelyn shouted excitedly while holding a bunch of requests, but Dio ignored her suggestions.

From the beginning, Dio had no intention of doing a quest that involved moving his body.

“Our request is not hunting.”

Dio tore a wanted letter from the poster and showed it to Sepia and Evelyn.

—————

[Estellum Request]

[Bring 2 vampire fangs to the union leader.]

—————

What Dio showed me The request form only contained a request for an item without any specific details.

“Don’t we have to hunt to save the canines?”

“What if there’s no need for that?”

“yes?”

After answering Sepia’s question, Dio looked through the poster step by step.

“From now on, bring all collection requests.”

“entire? “I think there are more than ten requests just like this one.”

Evelyn said, pointing to a piece of paper with the same content written on it as the request form Dio chose.

“okay. All the overlapping stuff. “I’m going somewhere for a while, so gather everything in the meantime.”

Dio left the building without knowing why, leaving Sepia and Evelyn behind at the mercenary office.

“Haha, it’s like that again.”

Sephia, who was watching his back, sighed.

However, as if he was now used to Dio’s always unruly behavior, he immediately began to carry out the tasks he instructed.
