Chapter 120

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 120Episode 120:

He gave an interesting expression to Dio, who was looking at him silently.

The momentary agitation he showed.

It passed so quickly that no one else would have noticed, but Gunther’s eyes could not be avoided.

“You seem to know me.”

“I have heard of Gunther’s reputation. “Isn’t it weirder not to know?”

Dio bowed his head in a polite tone.

Dio had been trying hard to maintain his composure, but now he was extremely embarrassed.

And Gunther must have been conscious of this as well.

Although he is a living legend called Sword Master Gunther, he is different from other sword masters, including Dalimus.

‘A man more worthy of being called the Empire’s Best Sword Gunther rather than Sword Master…’

Dio quickly shook his head.

About the reason why he appeared before my eyes now.

‘Did the emperor move early after receiving reports of Ox’s affairs? He was a notable event.’

It’s not that Gunther’s actions are completely incomprehensible if he was asked to dig up the backs of suspicious mercenaries.

However, Dio was not sure whether he received the emperor’s attention solely because of Ox’s work.

He expected that there was probably something he didn’t know about this, but he couldn’t ask it outright.

“It looks like your son was invited by Lennon.”

Dio deduced a ‘legitimate’ reason for Gunther to be here now that was not related to the emperor’s orders.

Gunther is the person who receives the emperor’s greatest trust.

Whenever the emperor wanted to proceed with something secretly, he always did so through Gunther.

In other words, Gunther’s encounter with him now is something that is taking place in secret.

It is problematic that he appears in Malovon, the center of the duchy, for no reason.

There are many eyes in the world, and most powers will be watching Gunther’s every move.

“That’s right. My son seems to be getting along well with Bertio’s eldest son. “I also came here to meet an old friend.”

Seeing Gunther grinning as if what you said was correct, Dio gulped and became convinced.

Gunther, who appeared before his eyes, appeared only to meet him.

My first guess was that Gunther followed his son here.

Is that really true?

If it was Gunter that Dio knew about, the possibility of that happening was significantly low.

It is a military site that moves only at the command of the emperor.

For him to act on such trivial matters is like the emperor wasting his own power.

‘As long as the emperor shows interest in me, it is difficult to ignore him. Then…’

This is an important moment in which we do not know how the relationship with the empire will continue through this meeting.

A link to the Empire, the only force that can stand against the Luna Church on its own.

This was the final destination that Dio could reach using Artes for the first time.

‘We must maintain a good relationship with the emperor. ‘You should avoid seeing me as someone to be wary of.’

Dio thought about what he should do right now.

To attack the emperor, you must first gain Gunther’s favor.

Dio opened his inventory.

* * *

A black-haired mercenary who appeared during the Ox incident.

There are several reasons why the emperor was interested in this.

If the rumors are true, it can be said that a genius who can use sword techniques has appeared at a young age.

One of the few sword masters on the continent.

In an era of chaos and fierce battle, the emperor cannot afford to miss out on such a talented person. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, the emperor expressed doubts there.

For a person of that level of skill, his reputation must have spread widely.

However, the unidentified mercenaries who were active in Ox literally seemed to have fallen from the sky.

Recognizing this, the emperor felt the need to investigate.

‘I heard that the Luna Church is being accused of heresy…’

Gunther watched the mercenary closely, but he could not feel the magic energy that the heretics had in him.

I’m not sure, but it’s closer to light than darkness.

Did you say your name is Diamond?

‘It must be an alias.’

Gunther didn’t think Diamond’s name was real.

If he hadn’t lied about his identity, he would have heard of someone with this level of inaction at least once.

Gunther opened his mouth after disarming the sword cage surrounding him.

“I was rude when we first met. “You must be a mercenary who was active in Ox, right?”

“It is an honor to meet you. “It’s called Diamond.”

Although he had stopped by Bertio with his son as Dia had said earlier, Gunther had come to see Dia at the emperor’s order.

And Gunther could tell that the other party also noticed this to some extent.

“Don’t be too scared. From the looks of it, it looks like he sneaked out… Please go in carefully.”

Gunther was curious about Dia’s purpose for walking the streets while hiding herself, but he did not inquire deeply.

The mission given by the emperor was to investigate diamond mercenaries.

And after finding out the true meaning of the numerous rumors surrounding him, he ordered him to be invited to the imperial castle if there were no problems.

‘Since you have ordered us to refrain from armed conflict as much as possible…’

Gunther decided that it would not be easy to hear the truth from Dia, who had only exchanged a few words.

The mercenary in front of me was a very smart person.

Perhaps even more so than the clever old men of the Magic Tower.

In that case, Gunther thought it would be much better to stay by Diamond’s side and watch her movements for a while.

If it is determined that there is no problem, an invitation from the emperor will be delivered, and if there is a hint of heresy as rumored,…

“I have a favor to ask of you, Gunther.”

Dia’s voice came from behind Gunther, who had finished his errand.

“ask?”

The other person knows who they are.

Nevertheless, I have something to ask of myself, whom I met for the first time today.

Gunther’s truly shameless attitude aroused curiosity.

“I would like you to pass this on to Delcid.”

“To my son?”

Gunther looked puzzled when he heard Dia mention her son and hand him a sword.

But even for a moment.

Gunther knew the value of the sword handed to him and showed an expression of disbelief.

“What about this?”

“Deep in the north. “This is ‘Gram’ rescued from the howling land.”

* * *

“Wow, I finally got this precious thing.”

Dio, who moved secretly through the alleys of Malobon, looked lovingly at the item at the top of the list in the warehouse.

—————

[Gram]

Classification: One-handed sword

Required intelligence: 250

Magic defense power: 100

—————

Thanks to the all-purpose jade, the weapon was not urgent, but that did not make Gram useless.

The weapon itself has magic attack power, and even though it is a weapon, it has considerable magic defense and resistance.

As the special effects are simple, they have excellent versatility.

If you know the value of this item or are a skilled swordsman, you will not be able to pass this by.

‘I have to use this no matter what. ‘Nothing like cancer.’

* * *

The five-colored light emanating from Gram’s handle created a beauty that Gunther had never seen before.

Not only that, Gram’s gently shining blade was sharp enough to deflect even the invisible wind.

‘It has excellent balance even among legendary weapons.’

It was a powerful item that wouldn’t be surprising if Dio used it as his main weapon right now.

Gram has its own stat +10% effect.

When he got his hands on Gram, Dio clearly decided to use it himself.

It was such a waste to give it to someone else without being able to use it even once, but given the circumstances, I had no choice.

If you think of it as an investment to gain Gunther’s favor, it is an understandable expenditure.

“Gram…that’s a good name. Why is it so precious? “Are you acquainted with my son?”

“no. However… I heard that Delcid’s qualifications are very outstanding. As someone who walks the same path of the sword, I want to have a good relationship with Sid. “It’s a kind of bribe.”

“her?”

Gunther let out a laugh as if he was dumbfounded by Dio’s words.

Dio’s attitude when he boldly called it a bribe was quite different from the people Gunther had met so far.

There were many people who wanted to impress Gunther, who was directly subordinate to the emperor and was his closest associate.

Gunther received many gifts, and they all said this.

I don’t want anything.

It’s just something they want to give.

But Gunther knows.

Their snarky intentions are to ask for help when a problem arises.

“I hate to say this, but it’s hard to find someone my age with whom I can cross swords.”

“ha ha ha!”

Gunther laughed heartily at what Dio meant by saying it was a tribute to his own growth.

How long has it been since I laughed?

“okay. This is just a request. You can listen to me anytime. Then I will accept it without any burden on my part.”

Dio smiled inwardly as he saw Gunther willingly accepting the well-packaged ‘tribute’.

This was done based on the judgment of Dio, who accurately knows Gunther’s personality.

‘It’s hard to accept a gift that doesn’t cost anything.’

Gunther doesn’t like people who spin stories or are dishonest.

So Dio openly said it was a bribe and clearly announced the compensation for it.

And the subject of the compensation and bribe for this is not Gunther, but his son, ‘Delcid’.

“Delcid should also be on guard, right? “I want to compete with you, the one who defeated Luave.”

Gunther looked around and spoke quietly.

Gunther, who had originally not planned to ask anything about the Ox situation, saw a change in Dio’s attitude.

Not about the situation, but to gauge Dio’s level in confronting Luave.

“Tell me. “What was it like dealing with Luave?”

“If it weren’t for the help of my colleagues, I would have died.”

Dio answered honestly. I am not yet up to Luave’s level.

Of course, I don’t know if I’m armed with all kinds of items.

“Okay…I gave you a big burden.”

“yes?”

“Actually, I have encountered Luave before. “At that time, I was trying out a new sword technique, but I was so immature that I couldn’t catch it running away.”

Dio was secretly surprised by Gunther’s tone of voice, as if he was speaking jokingly to an old friend.

I wasn’t surprised to hear that Gunther missed Luave because he was treating him like a quality toy.

The fact that he freely shared his mistakes with the person he met for the first time today was like saying that he had the slightest kindness.

‘Gunther may not fully represent the Emperor, but… it’s a good sign for me.’

Dio decided that it would not be a good idea to talk any longer with Gunther in a harvest day situation.

If the story continues like this, Gunther will dig deeper into himself.

Even though he shows kindness, he can’t tell Gunther exactly what happened in Oaks.

This was because Dio did not know how much the Empire knew about the power of the sun.

“I think I should go back now. “If I get a chance later, I want to share the stories I couldn’t tell you today.”

“…I understand.”

Dio quickly walked away, bowing to Gunther, who was smiling at him.

Gunther left Dio’s disappearing figure behind him and looked down at Gram.

It was only later that Gunther noticed it.

The fact that you are now swayed by the other person’s words.

“Are you a funny guy?”
