Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 91
Episode 91
“That’s not how you do it!”
“yes?”
“Get out of the way. “I’ll show you.”
Evelyn was tasked with setting up a barrier with the wizard of the Magic Tower.
Effective magic to prepare for the coming demons, such as bondage detection traps.
The wizard of the Magic Tower was a skilled person who could use various types of magic, and Evelyn joined in, not to be outdone.
“So what do you think? “If you use the shadows of objects, you can complete the magic circle without having to waste mana!”
“Hoo. Is it a shadow type magic? “It’s a very rare series…it’s amazing.”
“uh? “Why aren’t you learning?”
“That’s right… Shadow is recognized as a discipline that warlocks and witches are exposed to. Of course, not young wizards like us, but those old-timers. haha.”
Evelyn looks shocked at the wizard’s words.
“Ahaha- That’s right. However, I am not a warlock or a witch. Especially not witches.”
“Who says what? “If you’re a witch, there’s no way you can help people with us.”
“cancer. “Okay then!”
Dio was looking pitifully at the back of Evelyn, who was sweating at the wizard’s words.
Well, using shadow magic isn’t really a problem.
However, using the power of the sun in front of the Luna Church may cause problems.
The power of the sun is a sacred power that is not well known on the continent.
Even if they are not saints or heretic inquisitors, ordinary priests or paladins are puzzled by the divine power they see for the first time.
It would definitely get annoying, so it was better to be careful from the beginning.
‘I guess he’s not that stupid.’
Dio took his eyes off Evelyn and looked around the village.
Kalko had a hard time controlling the people of Ox Village at first.
He is Bertio’s senior knight, but he is at that level.
In the first place, the people of Ox believed in a guardian spirit called Topaz, so they seemed reluctant to follow Kalko’s words.
This is despite the fact that Calco is a knight belonging to the Duke of Bertio, the most powerful family in the eastern region.
But fortunately, this was resolved by Ates and Roberto.
Ates, who got along well with the village people, and Roberto, who had charmed all the women in Oaks, consoled them well, and only then did the people feel at ease.
‘Seeing Roberto like this doesn’t really envy him.’
This is Roberto, who was taught under the monk Schuwald.
It was truly a sight to see him trying to shake off the attention of so many women.
It was truly amazing to see Roberto having to resist the vivid temptation of blood.
At least among the vampires Dio had experienced, he had never seen one with such high patience.
Anyway, with the villagers gathered in the center of the village, which was least at risk, Ox was quite quiet.
Quiet town.
It was so strangely quiet that if someone who was unfamiliar with the situation here saw it, they might have thought it was a town haunted by ghosts.
“Mr. Calco!”
Bertio’s soldier, who discovered something on the makeshift stockade, called Calco.
“Someone is coming!”
“okay. “I can see it too.”
Upon hearing the soldier’s report, Kalko also climbed up on the fence and watched the approaching group closely.
Clap-clap-clap-clap –
the sound of horses’ hooves being heard overlapping each other.
There was no way the demonic beasts would attack on horseback, so Dio could easily figure out the identity of this group.
* * *
“Ha-what happened to me?”
A diocese located in the eastern part of the continent.
Conrad Yokni, the leader of the Holy Knights there, sighed softly as he looked at Ox in the distance.
‘For some reason, something like this happened during my time… I’m out of luck.’
The eastern part of the country was an area where the Empire’s Duke Bertio family ruled like kings.
The problem is that the Bertio family is hostile to the Luna Church, although not openly.
Therefore, the size of the Luna Church diocese created in the eastern region was very small, and therefore the church’s activities were less than in other regions.
Within the Luna Church, it was said that the paladins and priests who were transferred to the eastern region were virtually considered demotions.
‘I’m not being demoted!’
But Conrad’s case was different.
He proved his skills in the Luna Church based on his outstanding military power and was quickly promoted based on that.
And that too as the leader of a knight in a region.
However, due to the sudden retirement of the knight commander in charge of the eastern region, Conrad had to fill the vacant position.
‘Honestly, this place isn’t bad either.’
At first, Conrad did not take the order to manage the East badly.
Regardless of what others thought, he was not relegated, and Conrad secretly liked the eastern diocese.
This is because Conrad had a very weak personality, unlike a knight commander.
Therefore, even if something big happened, the Bertio family would take care of it before the Luna Church, so there was nothing much to do.
So, I was enjoying a peaceful life, preparing to advance to the center one day…
“Lord Conrad. What do you plan to do?”
Conrad looked at Telzia, the inspector newly appointed to the Eastern Diocese.
okay. It’s because of him.
After Telzia came, his rest was broken.
But I can’t complain.
If I were to be disliked by the inspector, I could have been expelled from my sweet position as leader of the Eastern Knights.
“Let’s not hurry…because we need to know the situation in the village first.”
“All right.”
Telzia gestured to the soldiers following her as if she knew how to say that.
Some disturbing news coming from the western region recently.
Accordingly, the Luna Church took special measures.
A Level 1 wanted list was placed on a specific person, and all believers in Luna were given the task of finding them as a top priority.
Therefore, it was the worst news for Conrad, who had been enjoying a break in the East.
What’s more, warlocks suddenly appeared in the north…
As the leader of the Paladins, he had to check most of the reports from the east, and there was a mountain of work to do.
In addition, perhaps the church was aware of his personality, and an inspector was dispatched to the eastern diocese.
Priest Telzia.
The inspector Telzia, who was officially dispatched by the church, and the priests and clergy who were dispatched did not match Conrad’s personality very well.
The inspector general belongs to Atra, the provincial government.
Therefore, not only were they highly disciplined, but they were also deeply religious, to the point of sacrificing their lives for their faith.
The reason I came here now was all because of Telzia.
The Duke of Bertio’s soldiers say they are looking for the second son who ran away from home, so why are they following him?
Conrad couldn’t understand it, but Telzia urged him to search the eastern part of the country since the church had given them a special mission.
And there was also a story about suspicious mercenaries accompanying Bertio’s second son.
‘Ugh…it’s really hard work trying to do something you didn’t want to do.’
Conrad, who preferred to rest rather than dedicate his daily work to his religion, had to act solemn, even if only because of Telzia’s notice.
That’s what the knight commander usually does.
“ha.”
“Is something bad happening? Sir Conrad?”
“Oh no, let’s go.”
Feeling so uncomfortable that he couldn’t even sigh easily, Conrad drove his horse and headed towards a rural village in the distance.
I hope nothing happens.
* * *
Dio looked at the Holy Knights entering Ox, led by Bertio’s soldiers.
A richly decorated silver-blue cloak.
Dio looked at him curiously as he saw the leader of the Holy Knights riding a horse at the forefront.
‘He looks like a leader, but this is my first time seeing him.’
Did he look like he was around 30? Since the Knights Templar High School is young, it is expected that they will be quite capable.
He glanced around the village, frowned, and got off his horse.
“Lord Calco.”
Conrad shook hands with Calco and said goodbye.
“Lord Conrad. “Has the work of light been completed successfully?”
“There was no particular problem. I found a lake…but I think I need to do a little more research. However, even though it is a rural village, there are no residents in sight. Where is Confucius?”
From their conversation, Dio was able to learn that the name of the newly appeared Knight Commander of the Luna Church was Conrad.
Another characteristic of Conrad.
In the eastern region, even the Luna Church cannot stretch out like this in front of the Bertio family.
If you are a Paladin in the eastern jurisdiction, you cannot help but keep an eye on them in order to avoid political friction.
In terms of title alone, Konrad, who is at the leader level, would be superior, but when considering political power, Kalko, who is a senior knight, cannot be treated carelessly.
‘Unless he was a fairly faithful and confident paladin, he would not interfere with the affairs of the Bertio family like this…’ Of
course, Dio was just mistaken as he had no way of knowing that Conrad was forcibly brought in because of the inspector.
Anyway, their conversation continued even while Dio was evaluating the person named Conrad.
“Young Master, we have evacuated you for a while.”
“evacuation? “What do you mean?”
“That…” Just as
Kalko was about to start talking about warlocks and magical beasts, the woman who was assisting Konrad raised her hand and interrupted.
“Telzia? “What’s going on?”
“Conrad. for a moment.”
A woman called Telzia whispered something into Conrad’s ear, and Dio felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort at the sight.
‘what? That woman…’
Dio noticed that Telzia’s eyes were on him as she said something to Konrad.
A priest’s attire that is nothing special.
However, Telzia casually interrupted the knight commander’s words, and for some reason, it felt like Conrad was treating her very cautiously.
‘Did you really notice? It doesn’t look particularly great…’
It is impossible to see through Crassus’ magic unless you are an archbishop-level priest.
Or that he possesses a top-tier artifact…
There’s no way he would give such a valuable item to a mere priest in the eastern region of Ei. Conrad
,
who heard something from Telzia, left everyone behind and came in front of Dio.
“you.”
“hello? “This is Dia, working as a mercenary.”
I don’t know what Konrad and Telzia talked about, but Dio approached them with a smile on his face as best he could.
“Are you the mercenary who accompanied Master Bertio?”
“….”
Dio had a hunch.
That the Luna Church was aware of his actions.
Not good.
The stories we need to share now are ways to deal with the soon-to-be-attacked warlocks.
The subject of the story should not shift to the Luna Church’s most wanted person.
“Captain. “I am currently protecting the village at Lord Calco’s request.”
“Protecting it? From what?”
Dio struck first before Conrad could continue speaking.
“There are a group of warlocks around here. “They have summoned demonic beasts and are ready to attack at any time.”
“what?”
“The numbers are significant. If you check it, you will know right away.”
No matter how much you care about wanted people, there is no way you can turn a blind eye to the demonic beasts in front of you.
The Paladins who were listening to Dio’s story began to wonder if Dio’s thoughts were correct.
“Warlock? Demon beast? “Is that true?”
“exactly. We also confirmed…”
In response to Konrad’s question, Ox’s manager, Kalko, opened his mouth again, but the harsh voice that cut him off echoed throughout the hall.
“Dirty heretics! “What kind of fucking trick is this?”
“…?”
At Telzia’s sudden shout, Dio looked at her.
“You think I don’t know your identity? Show yourself. “Do you think you dare hide yourself from the sight of Holy Luna?”
Telzia stepped forward and pointed a finger at Dio.
Dio was able to see through that gap.
The bracelet on Telzia’s wrist.
‘Watcher’s Bracelet…damn.’
Dio cursed under his breath at the presence of a legendary artifact.
The Watcher’s Bracelet is the Luna Church’s highest-level artifact that can detect camouflage magic.
Even though we couldn’t see Dio’s original appearance, which had been hidden by Crassus’ magic, we were able to at least recognize that he was disguised.
“Is there a problem?”
“what? “Why are you so loud?”
The wizard and Evelyn Roberto, who heard Telzia’s commotion from afar, approached Dio.
Along with Ates, who did not listen to Calco’s orders to stay hidden.
Among them, the wizard approached Dio to find out what was going on, as the paladin’s energy was unusual.
Then he urgently raised his hand.
“Oh no! Avoid everyone…!”
Currently, the barrier at the entrance is open to welcome the Luna Church troops entering Oaks.
And the demon beasts did not miss this opportunity. Before people could react
,
a contaminated giant worm broke through the ground and appeared once again.
However, unlike the first time, there was not just one.
Quagwagwagwagwa-
A dozen giant worms appeared simultaneously, and one even popped out near Dio and Telzia.
Quang!
Dio swung the mace he had prepared for battle and hit the giant worm that appeared right in front of him.
thud!
The massive new form of the worm fell to the ground, and in an instant, everyone noticed the extremely dark atmosphere outside the village of Ox, which was in chaos.
A time when the sun is slowly setting.
A dark group visible beyond the setting sunset.
-Kyaaa!
-Krrrrr!
It was an army of hundreds of demonic beasts rushing towards Ox.
