Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 50Episode 50:
Roberto was a vampire who worked at a mercenary office in Estellum while hiding his identity.
The question of why he interacted with humans and received blood was because of the master he served.
-The full moon is getting closer. Blood, get blood.
-Let’s learn more about undertakers.
-You must not cause harm just because you are in a hurry. In the end, we need them to be safe.
-All right.
Roberto recalled his conversation with his bloodthirsty master.
Unlike the mobs without genealogy who attacked humans, the master chose to coexist with humans.
The master’s philosophy was not to harm others.
Roberto, who used to suck the blood of humans, was enlightened after meeting such a master and settled into the human world.
Of course, the reason for settling in Estel Room was also to ensure a smooth blood supply.
Since it is a neighborhood with many accidents, it is easy to obtain blood through body cleaners or undertakers.
-Sniff.
Today again, as usual, there was a strong smell of blood in the Estel Room.
Roberto, who noticed this, arrived at the scene disguised as a cleaner, but…
a vampire’s sense of fresh blood caught an unexpected person.
‘Who is that man? The mercenary you saw during the day?’
The mercenary who easily defeated the thugs of Estellum did not suffer the slightest injury, as if he had proven himself to be a man of considerable skill.
But Robert wasn’t surprised by that.
‘I can feel it… the blood that man has… it’s definitely not normal!’
Unlike werewolves, vampires do not detect the smell of blood solely through their sense of smell.
In particular, Roberto had a much better sense of smell than other vampires.
At the mercenary office, he didn’t notice because he was mixed in with the crowd of people, but he realized that the blood that was now focused on Roberto’s senses was quite precious.
‘The ladies also have precious blood. But what you need is not virgin blood. If it’s that man’s blood that’s a little more special….’
Fresh blood that is clearly different from the blood obtained from a corpse.
I assured them that if I ask them, they will be of help to the master who is always having a hard time with ‘Manwol’.
‘okay! I’m explaining the situation and asking for a favor! If you treat the master sincerely as he says…!’
He stepped forward to ask for an appropriate blood draw without causing harm.
But….

“You bat-like bastard! “You’re finally showing your true colors!”
“Oops!”
thud!
Roberto, helplessly bound by Eveline’s magic, knelt on the floor.
“I’ve never heard of a vampire living in harmony with humans!”
Evelyn knows Ludens and must have been misunderstood by humans as a wicked witch.
Dio was dumbfounded to see her making such prejudiced remarks.
Still, Evelyn’s response was not wrong, so Dio looked at Roberto, who was easily subdued.
“I’m so sorry! “What will my master do if I go like this?”
Dio didn’t say anything, but the vampire uttered a line that seemed to have sensed his end due to Evelyn’s hostile behavior.
“It’s no use begging for my life. “I’ve already prepared a stake for you…”
“Tsk… kill me!”
“Please come out.”
Dio, who pushed away Evelyn, who was spouting villain-like lines, pondered what Roberto said and asked a question.
“Who are you? “Where do you belong?”
“…My name is Roberto. “I am a vampire working under a master who is nobler than anyone else.”
“Master?”
Dio frowned at the word ‘master’ mentioned by Roberto.
The only beings that self-respecting vampires can call ‘master’ are Lord-level vampires like Ludens.
‘Among the Vampire Lords I know, there is no one named Smith. Then perhaps?’
Dio remembered Ludens, who hid his identity and served as the head of the back alley.
Didn’t you know that Ludens is a vampire lord who has lived for over a thousand years?
In that case, there was a good chance that the master that Roberto mentioned was also a vampire lord that he did not know about.
‘If he is Estellum’s close friend that Ludens was talking about, then I understand. ‘If they are of the same rod level, they can be called close friends.’
Dio spoke to Evelyn, thinking that she might be the person he was looking for.
“Free me.”
“You don’t use stakes?”
“Why are you so obsessed with that damn stake?”
At Dio’s shout, Evelyn grunted and released Roberto from his restraints.
“Tell me more about your master.”
After hearing Dio’s words, Roberto realized that the opponent was a mercenary who was not obsessed with hunting vampires, and he cautiously opened his mouth.
“I cannot dare to speak about you master. However, if you are willing to provide some blood, I will let you meet the master.”
“Is this guy still out of his mind? “Are you telling us to go to the lair of a guy who seeks human blood?”
Sephia, who was next to Evelyn, stopped Evelyn, who went wild again at Roberto’s words.
“Listen to the story.”
“Do you believe him? “You’re a vampire!” Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
‘For being a losing witch.’
Dio thought to himself when he saw Evelyn’s appearance not being funny, and Roberto was also astonished by her cries, so he let out an angry expression.
“If our master had had his way, all the humans in Estellum would have turned into corpses! But the master just doesn’t do that because he respects life!”
“Hmm…”
Dio was lost in thought as Roberto appealed to his sincerity.
If he is not deceiving, he must be a truly unique vampire lord.
There was a very high probability that the new character that Dio had not experienced was a close friend of Ludens.
It may not be a bad choice to go there as if donating blood.
‘If respecting life is a lie, then there would be no reason for Roberto to disguise himself as a janitor.’
After carefully considering Roberto’s suggestion, Dio opened his mouth again.
“Where is your master? “Is it outside the city?”
“…that.”
Roberto hesitated at Dio’s question.
It seemed like he was reluctant to reveal information about his owner to the other person.
“If it’s a dangerous place, there’s no reason for us to go there.”
Dio, who needed to know the information about the place to visit just in case, spoke firmly.
“…This is the central camp of Kalech Forest. “I can’t guarantee that the path is safe, but I will definitely guide you.”
Kalech Forest located north of Estellum.
It was clear that the maze-like Kalech Forest was an extremely dangerous place as monsters frequently appeared.
But…
“Okay. “Let’s go together.”
When Dio nodded as if it was okay, Roberto looked surprised.
“Is that true? Then I will right now…”
“No, not right away. “I’ll contact you separately when I’m ready.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Roberto, confused by the unexpected consent, nodded.
“And take care of some of these on the way.”
Dio pointed to the pile of corpses, and before he could finish speaking, Robert took out a huge sack to put the corpses in.
As if this had happened more than once, Roberto skillfully threw the corpse wrapped in swaddling clothes out the window and bowed to Dio.
“I’ll just go now.”
Even if Evelyn was easily suppressed, a vampire is still a vampire.
Basically, a race with superior physical specifications than humans.
Dio looked behind Roberto, who was lightly lifting six corpses and heading somewhere, and turned his head to Sephia and Evelyn.
“Okay, our destination has been decided. “Everyone, get ready by tomorrow morning.”
“Are you sure it’s okay if I follow that person?”
“that’s right. Do you know where Kalech Forest is?”
The companions continued to express their doubts about the conversation they had just had, which ended more smoothly than expected.
“Kalech Forest is an area where vampires and werewolves often appear.”
“We’re going to such a dangerous place?”
Sepia made an incomprehensible expression, recalling Dio’s words that there was no reason to go to a dangerous place.
“The place Robert mentioned is an implicitly peaceful place. You may think it is in the middle of the battlefield, but the monsters in Kalech Forest also need a place to avoid friction with each other.”
“It’s really strange.”
Sephia responded to Dio’s explanation as if she was curious.
“Well, normally vampires and werewolves don’t get along well. “If there was no safe zone, we would have been destroyed long ago.”
Unlike Sepia, Evelyn added additional explanation as if she understood.
“Of course, it’s a place that veteran mercenaries don’t often go to because they don’t know when the tension between vampires and werewolves will explode. “There are only herbalists who collect rare herbs.”
“all right. But why did you postpone it instead of going right away? “I feel like tonight has already passed.”
As Sephia said, Dio smiled brightly as he checked outside where the sun was rising.
“I can’t go looking like this when I’m going to visit the Vampire Lord.”

“Wow, can I really have this?”
In front of Estel Room’s warehouse.
Evelyn couldn’t hide her liking as she examined the navy blue robe set Dio handed her.
“okay. Because it’s much better than the mat you’re wearing. “It will be much better, both in terms of ability and appearance.”
“It’s time to throw away mud!”
Ignoring Evelyn, who was fuming, Dio looked at the warehouse list once again.
There was no equipment suitable for Sepia’s level.
The ‘Mystic’s Robe’ given to Evelyn was also in the Estellum warehouse because it had an overwhelming magic resistance option among the level 150 unique equipment.
“Sepia is… um. “You don’t have the right equipment.”
“I’m OK.”
“Instead, I will give you something other than equipment.”
Dio handed a pendant decorated with sapphire to Sepia, who said it was okay.
—————
[Void Amulet]
Grade: Unique
Category: Necklace
Level limit: 50
Special effect: Nullifies one life-threatening fatal attack.

“This…?”
“It’s like a talisman. “You don’t have to wear it around your neck, so just keep it with you.”
“Wow, it’s pretty.”
Evelyn, who was distracted by the brilliant light emitted by the sapphire, let out an exclamation without realizing it.
“You gave me a robe. “Don’t be greedy.”
“I never asked for it either!”
Sephia laughed softly at the sight of Evelyn jumping up and down, as if her conscience pricked her at Dio’s shouting.
“thank you.”
‘Thank you. I have something better than that.’
All Dio does is pack his equipment and give the rest to his companions.
In any case, unless it is equipment you will use, reinforcing the power of your party members is also helpful for survival.
‘It would be a good idea to prepare level 130 equipment in advance.’
Dio spoke to his companions as he took all the equipment he would wear in the future and items that could be used right now and put them in his inventory.
“Call Roberto. “I’m leaving right away.”
* * *
Dio and the group approached Roberto, who was waiting in front of the abandoned castle.
“Are you here? Mr. Weed.”
Roberto greeted Dio, calling him a pseudonym he had made up to work in Estellum.
“But why are you asking me to come here? “I guess Kalech Forest is towards the northern entrance?”
In response to Dio’s words, Roberto pointed and explained in a loud voice as if telling him not to worry.
“Inside the castle, an underground passage leads to Kalekh Forest. “You can travel much safer if you take this route.”
“….”
“Oh, I’m definitely not deceiving you. “If you feel uneasy, you can cross the forest another way.”
Roberto spoke quickly, fearing that his actions might seem suspicious, but Dio shook his head at his actions.
“No, go this way. “It seems like it might be faster.”
“Oh yes. Of course it’s faster, but…”
Roberto once again felt strange at Dio’s sudden change in mood.
Is it an illusion that the unidentified mercenary, who introduced himself as Leo, feels as if he knows the geography of this place extremely well?
Of course, Roberto’s ability to feel blood better than other vampires was by no means an illusion.
Because Dio already knew the shortcut introduced by Roberto.
‘There are few NPCs other than the player who know this place…there’s definitely something there.’
As Roberto said, this passage safely leads to the center of Kalech Forest, so Dio obediently began to follow him.
