Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 119

Episode 119:

A luxurious mansion with a panoramic view of the artificial lake.

Dio walked around the park in front of the mansion, guided by an attendant who welcod him.

‘Lennon’s social hall. ‘It’s been a while?’

Dio had experienced the Duchy of Bertio, where Lennon was the head of the family, so mories of visiting this place also ca to mind.

“He’s waiting over there.”

Dio entered the mansion under the guidance of an attendant.

The place he rembered was a place where he could et all kinds of nobles because it served as a social venue hosted by the Bertio family.

And now, as expected, elegant nobles were socializing while wearing elegant clothes.

“This way.”

Dio made his way through the crowd, following the attendant who guided him.

‘They said they returned from the center, so it’s going to be a party to commorate this.’

Given Lennon’s love of showing off, grand parties like this were a common sight.

Dio soon found Lennon surrounded by nurous nobles.

It was easy to spot him because he was definitely different from other nobles in his appearance and the quality of his clothes.

Lennon also seed to have seen Dio, who was guided by his attendant, and greeted him by asking the nobles around him.

“I didn’t know you would accept the invitation.”

“I have no reason to refuse.”

Lennon’s eyebrows twitched when he saw Dio not losing his composure on the stage he had prepared, but he soon maintained his composure.

“okay? Then go over there.”

As if he didn’t need any interruptions in his upcoming conversation, Lennon climbed the stairs and sat down at a table filled with food.

A place where the social circles of nobles can be seen at a glance.

After adjusting his well-dressed clothes, Dio sat down across from Lennon.

* * *

Dinner is just a formal invitation.

Lennon got straight to the point, which was what Dio also wanted.

“Don’t you know how foolish it is for the East to turn against ?”

“Well, you speak as if you are the owner of Bertio.”

Dio snorted at Lennon’s words.

The sight of Lennon acting as if he had already beco the head of the family, even though it wasn’t clearly decided, was just funny to Dio.

“Why do you think I won’t be the next head of the family?”

Unlike in front of Dalimus, he looked relaxed.

When Dio did not respond in particular, Lennon gestured with his chin at the nobles enjoying the banquet below.

“Do you know who they are supporting now? Not Ates, not my father. It’s . “It can be seen as Lennon Bertio’s force.”

Dio was able to accurately understand Lennon’s intention in inviting him to the dinner.

He probably wants to show how great his position is within the Bertio family.

“My father is too closed-minded. “I’m not interested in things other than the sword and the East.”

“so?”

“If I beco the head of the family, the great Bertio family will spread across the entire continent.”

Dio nodded at Lennon’s ambitious words.

“surely. “There is a high possibility that you will be the next head of the family.”

“You’re going to fight knowing that?”

When Dio admitted it obediently, Lennon was rather puzzled.

“What is the point of you fighting on behalf of Ates?”

“….”

“The story about your performance in Oaks… Okay, I admit it. “A righteous rcenary who will defeat the warlock together with Bertio.”

Lennon also did not deny what Dio had done and tapped his knee with his finger.

“So you’ll have to wait in line even harder. My father has no intention of sitting at the head of the family for long. “I will hand everything over to the rightful successor and devote myself to the sword.”

Lennon’s eyes twinkled, confident that he was the ‘rightful’ successor.

“If you stand by even now, I will gladly turn a blind eye to the insulting actions you have taken towards .”

Dio also laughed when Lennon said that he was being generous.

Of course, the laugh was a mockery, but Lennon didn’t seem to notice it.

“There aren’t many people I would say this to. “It ans having a high opinion of your abilities.”

“I don’t know what to do with myself.”

Lennon’s speaking style of praising his opponent continued.

“This duel cannot be avoided. Because it was decided by my father’s command. You will act as Ates’ substitute knight, right? Or…”

Lennon thought of a man who was in Dio’s group.

“Did your subordinate step forward? Probably not girls. “Did you say spade?”

Lennon said, singling out Roberto among Dio’s companions.

This ant that Lennon wasn’t just watching Dio.

‘You’re not that stupid.’

Dio nodded as he looked at Lennon, who was wary of others besides himself.

In fact, Dio was thinking about putting forward either Roberto or Evelyn.

“Is there a need to make it that complicated? “If you co out and lose the match… I guarantee you a reward for it.”

“compensation?”

“okay. Whatever you think, I’ll give you more. “You won’t forget who I am, right?”

Dio looked shocked at Lennon’s suggestion of match-fixing.

“I can give you a title and territory. “What you’re saying is that I’ll be watching your back from now on.”

“Hoo….”

“You took the Noble Phantasms one by one from the family warehouse? Haha, I promise to take care of more than just one thing.”

Dio could not help but be tempted by the offer from Lennon, who was clearly a strong candidate for the position of the next head of the family.

Lennon expected Dio to naturally accept this.

Dio stood up halfway, approached Lennon and whispered sothing.

Lennon’s eyes widened.

* * *

Boom!

Lennon hit the table hard as he looked at the empty space the rcenary had left.

“You idiot. “Are you trying to catch this rotten rope?”

Lennon gritted his teeth as he rembered the rcenary who refused his offer.

This was like saying that the rcenary would stand in the line of Ates rather than himself.

“okay. Great. “There is no need to show rcy to uneducated commoners.”

At best, I said I would turn a blind eye to the insults.

Lennon could not understand at all what he believed and why he was so picky.

‘They seem to be full of the things they did in Oaks…’

Lennon pondered the story the Chamberlain had told them.

Although he did not completely believe the nonsense that they used sword techniques, Lennon was also aware that their skills were not average.

‘I’ll crush your proud nose. ‘How dare you ignore ?’

Lennon looked at his palm hitting the table.

I wasted ti for no reason.

A stray dog that does not know anything about the subject will crawl on its own when faced with great force.

‘Do you think I’ll just be defeated by rcenaries? I think you’re under the illusion that you’re great right now…’

Lennon clenched his fists.

It did not matter which of the rcenaries stepped forward on behalf of Ates.

Lennon gave a twisted smile as he thought of Dio kneeling before his power.

“You will regret it. “It was too late in the face of the all-powerful ‘power.’”

I will make you pay for your sin of not recognizing your master.

* * *

The reason Dio did not accept Lennon’s offer was not necessarily because of what he experienced in the future.

If Lennon, who has beco the head of the family, commits a foolish act, Dio can intervene and stop it.

However, D.O. is not in a position to devote ti to this.

As I said at the beginning, he can easily control the bastard Lennon, so there is nothing wrong with Dio if he has him as the boss.

However, after a conversation with Lennon he had just t, Dio’s thoughts changed.

‘He wasn’t just greedy.’

The Lennon of Gaju that Dio rembered was quite different from the Lennon of today.

Lennon of California was really foolish and stupid.

A monarch who only knows how to satisfy his own self-interest.

This is Lennon, who coldly denied even the aid of the forces that helped Bertio.

But now is different than then.

Although he had an eccentric personality, he was ambitious.

Ambition to beco the head of a family.

‘A way to appease enemies… quick calculation of profit and loss.’

The reason Lennon tried to appease Dio was not because he was not confident about the upcoming duel.

Lennon was thinking about the fa that Dio had in Ox.

‘If you were an incompetent idiot, you wouldn’t think this far.’

He hoped that Dio himself would step forward in the duel.

You, the leader of your group, will easily win the next duel?

If so, it was clear that Lennon’s position would soar even further.

‘I guess they want to use as a scapegoat… I’m sure there will be quite a few onlookers gathered.’

Nowadays, Lennon cannot be sure that Dio can easily manipulate him.

There is nothing that cannot be done, but the problem is that it takes ti.

From Dio’s perspective as he continues Taeyang’s mission, he cannot waste ti dealing with Lennon.

It would have been much better for Dio to use this opportunity to increase Ates’ position and allow him to take over the position of head of the family on his own.

‘Since I rejected the eldest son’s offer, I will have to move completely along the Ates line.’

I don’t want to give up Bertio’s cooperation.

However, if the clever Lennon succeeds Dalimus, there will be no peace of mind.

The worst situation could have happened, in which Bertio, who had been taken over by Lennon, might turn into an enemy.

While Dio was thinking about what to do in this successor battle, he felt a sign of soone following him.

‘Are you ready already?’

As Dio left Lennon’s villa, he noticed so nobles getting nervous.

They received Lennon’s instructions and followed Dio like they are now.

‘You’re making things bigger.’

Dalimus wanted to end this matter quietly.

However, it was too late for the duel to proceed quietly as Lennon was already using other nobles to dig up Dio’s back.

Dio also could no longer focus on duels.

‘I need to shake him off.’

The place where Dio is currently located was a large city called ‘Malobon’, the center of the duchy.

Yeongju Castle located in the center of the city.

Inside the lord’s castle, three huge lots existed in the shape of a clover.

The center lot was occupied by a mansion where the head of the Bertio family resided.

And the site on the right is where the Knights’ Mansion and external administrative buildings are located.

On the opposite side of the Knights’ Mansion and on the left side of the mansion, there was a mansion for the family mbers and the next head of the family.

Lennon’s villa was also located in the most scenic part of the site.

Among these, the place where Dio lives is a building for external guests located next to the family’s mansion complex.

But Dio did not go there.

‘I have to stop by Malobon’s warehouse…’

Originally, Dalimus was going to visit the warehouse leisurely once the commotion outside had cald down, but Dio had a different idea.

It is absolutely necessary for Dio to visit the warehouse first in preparation for the upcoming duel.

Dio could not move easily in a situation where Lennon’s subordinates were following behind, even though Dalimus had ordered it directly.

It’s clear that Lennon won’t sit still if even the slightest thing is caught.

‘But I have this.’

Dio grinned and walked quickly.

He went between the corners of the towering buildings and put on the invisibility cloak he had in his inventory.

A unique invisibility cloak used in the large city of Rivernos.

No one can see through this invisibility cloak except at a certain level.

So of Bertio’s high-level knights could have noticed this, but Dio was not worried.

‘If you move to the left lot, you won’t get caught by them.’

For Dio, getting out of the castle and avoiding the eyes of the knights was a piece of cake.

Dio grinned as he watched Lennon’s subordinates scrambling to find him, who had disappeared in an instant.

Dio quietly left and checked to see if there was a knight guarding the main gate.

Climbing the castle wall is a more dangerous act.

The walls surrounding the lord’s castle are usually barricaded with magic.

‘In cases like this, the fastest and safest way is to pierce through the front.’

After confirming that there were no security guards who would notice the invisibility cloak, Dio walked quietly once again.

* * *

A city where the sun is slowly setting.

The large crowds disappeared one by one, leaving the streets of Malobon empty.

Dio also finished all his errands at Malobon’s warehouse and headed to the Lord’s Castle with lighter steps.

‘Well done myself.’

What Dio praised internally was not sothing he was spouting out to himself.

It was a complint given to the player’s Dio.

That’s because Malobon’s warehouse is filled with valuable items he collected while traveling in the East.

I rember the items there to so extent, but seeing them in person is a new experience.

Dio stored all the items in Malobon in an infinitely expanded inventory.

It is never too late to organize these many items and think about their uses one by one.

‘I will beco much stronger.’

Dio had put on his invisibility cloak again to enter the castle.

But at that mont, even though he was wearing an invisibility cloak, sothing intangible began to happen to Dio.

Ssssssuk –

The landscape where Dio was walking began to change.

‘This?’

Dozens and hundreds of blades appeared from nowhere.

Those blades not only blocked Dio’s path, but also surrounded him, forming a do.

‘Sword Cage!’

The blade in front of was not magic.

When the ‘Auror’ power of the knights reaches its peak, they can create a blade in the form of a sword like this.

And the level of testing that can be used for this is extrely limited.

‘It’s not Dalimus. If that’s the case…’

Dio slowly turned around and a man with gray hair ca into Dio’s field of vision.

A man looking clearly at Dio, who is wearing an invisibility cloak.

The pinnacle of a sword that is on a different level from other sword masters.

Swordmaster Gunther.

The person who appeared before Dio was a man said to be the strongest in the empire.
