Surviving With An Sss Rank Inventory

Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 35

Episode 35

“The village is in commotion? “Did Earl Herrington like loud things?”

A woman looks disapprovingly at the fireworks beautifully unfolding in the sky of River North.

Scarlett opened her mouth, brushing away her blood-red bangs.

The place where she is now is the Luna Temple in Rivernos.

“I’m not sure because there hasn’t been any reports. “This is my first time seeing something like this.”

A priest who answers Scarlett’s question.

He was none other than Krupis, a priest of the Luna Church belonging to Rivernos.

Scarlett fell from the window and turned her gaze to Crupis again.

“okay? “When you have a report on this ready, bring it to me.”

“yes.”

“Finish the report you were doing.”

“All right. “I don’t know much about the mercenary named Monte you mentioned, but after visiting the underground tunnel together, I confirmed that some of the characteristics match my guess.”

Crupis began to report to Scarlet exactly the same information he had sent to Atra, the Holy Kingdom.

“So where is that guy named Dio?”

“The last confirmed location was with the Deputy Commander of the River North Division.”

“Vice-captain? “What is your relationship with him?”

“I haven’t figured that out yet. “The Templars have the highest level of security in Rivernos, so it may take some time to find out.”

“Oh…”

Scarlett became interested in Crupis’ report.

The scale of the Luna Temple built in Rivernos is by no means small.

Nevertheless, the fact that the Knights had the highest influence over Luna gave an idea of the level of the knights.

“okay. I think I’ve heard that the knights of Rivernos are the best. “I think the vice-captain here said he was outstanding.”

“yes. “Sir Sigmund values honor and has an excellent reputation as a knight of great faith.”

“It’s about honor and faith… it’ll be fun.”

“yes?”

Crupis questioned Scarlett’s backstory, and Scarlett gestured that it was okay.

‘How enjoyable it is to break beliefs. Whether it’s Monte or anyone else, there will be many fun toys.’

Scarlett, who was giggling to herself, left behind Crupis, who had a puzzled expression on her face, raised her head in surprise at the evil energy she felt for a moment.

“What’s going on?”

“….”

Ignoring Crupis’ question, Scarlett turned her gaze back out the window.

“What is there?”

“yes? Oh, that’s where the Knights’ Mansion is located. “The tallest building over there…”

“Get ready.”

“yes?”

“Let’s take a look at the face of the great Deputy Commander.”

Scarlett stormed out of the room, and Crupis hurriedly followed her without knowing why.

Dio’s mind became completely blank.

From the moment Ludens mentioned the ‘forgotten prosecutor’, I didn’t know what to say, so I just opened my mouth.

“why? Just as you knew that I was a vampire, I also know your identity. “Is that really surprising?”

Ludens smiled and sat down comfortably on the sofa by the window.

Dio’s head calmed down again as Ludens spoke comfortably, as if there was no need for further conversation.

‘He is a person related to the hidden class. There were enough situations for people to discover my identity.’

He could have known by looking at Sephia’s state under the oath, or he could have recognized it by his actions to prepare for the ‘cut’ and ‘mark’ that he had just shown in battle.

I don’t know how much Ludens knew about the forgotten swordsman, but I figured Dio would know at least better than him.

No matter how good of a player Dio is, being a forgotten swordsman is his first time experiencing this job.

“Who are you?”

Dio’s question isn’t really about who Ludens is.

The question was why Ludens found out about the forgotten prosecutor and what connection he had.

Therefore, Dio had to dig up information somehow.

Even though Ludens knew Dio’s intentions, he did not respond right away.

I just leisurely looked out the window.

“I am.”

After a long period of silence, Ludens’ mouth opened.

“We have lived for thousands of years. Even considering that he was a vampire, he lived a long time. Thanks to that, I was able to rise to the position of head of the clan I lead.”

Dio was surprised by Ludens’ words, although he did not show it.

‘A lord from one of the vampire clans?’

I thought he was a high-class vampire, but I couldn’t believe he was a Lord.

If you’re a Lord, you’re saying he’s the ‘Duke of Requilis’ level who used the ‘Flooding River of Blood’.

I thought they were just 200 level vampires around superhuman level, but they were level 350…or maybe higher.

Dio broke into a cold sweat because he knew what kind of outcome Ludens would have faced if he had been sincere.

“If you are a lord, are the clans that follow you hiding in Golden Dawn?”

“Don’t worry. “I am the only vampire hiding in Rivernos.”

“Why?”

“….”

Ludens didn’t answer, but just gave a friendly smile as if he was seeing something proud.

Dio couldn’t help but have doubts.

The position of ‘Lord’, who leads a clan, is by no means a light one.

If Ludens was such an important vampire, it didn’t make sense for him to hide his identity and live in a human city.

“There are many reasons for that. But that’s not the point.”

Dio frowned at Ludens, who was still talking while looking out the window.

Then, just as I was about to ask what was important, Ludens spoke first.

“This land has a forgotten history that goes back thousands of years. Forgotten swordsman. “You too must have seen the mural and gained the power contained in its history, right?”

Tiring!

[Main Scenario – 1]

[Type: Class Quest]

[I encountered a person who remembered forgotten history. If you complete all background knowledge, you can draw out hidden special powers.]

[Reward: 1st class awakening]

—————

‘!!’

Dio’s eyes opened wide.

It was quite unexpected that the background related to the forgotten swordsman was unlocked through conversation with Ludens.

‘No, it’s not an unexpected situation.’

Didn’t you already know that as a class with a growth type, there could be quests related to it?

“There was a sacred age. “Unlike now, when there is only Luna, the moon god, many gods came down from heaven and gave teachings to humans.”

“…is this a story about the Holy Kingdom?”

At Ludens’s words, Dio briefly recalled the story he knew about the ancient sacred kingdom.

‘Among the branches of the main story, there were many stories related to the Luna Church.’

In the process, Dio only knew that Luna was a religious order that survived from ancient times, when there were many holy countries.

“okay. Shin Seong-guk.”

Ludens left Dio lost in thought and continued speaking.

“Even back then, Luna’s power was the best. But Luna wasn’t the only one. There was a god who was comparable to Luna…no, much stronger than Luna. He is our…”

Ludens, who was looking down at the window, suddenly rolled up his right arm.

Dio realized what Ludens was trying to show him.

“sun.”

Tiring!

[A scenario quest is carried out in conjunction with a class quest.]

[Type: Scenario]

[We found out that the forgotten swordsman is related to the ancient sun god. You must acquire background knowledge about this to proceed to the next quest.]

The sun tattoo on his arm.

‘That pattern! I’ve seen it. For sure…!’

Dio tried to ignore the system window that appeared in front of him and stared intently at the pattern engraved on Ludens’ arm.

The image the system showed in Dio’s mind after saving Sepia.

I remembered that in the video, there were definitely soldiers and flags with that symbol engraved on them.

“That’s…”

“We believe in the sun. This is a symbol for His believers.”

“The sun god? “What’s your name?”

Dio, who had no idea that there was a sun god on the order board, asked.

“…I cannot reveal his name. Luna doesn’t know that he is regaining his strength. Be careful too. “It is no exaggeration to say that Luna is ruling the world now.”

Dio blinked with an incomprehensible expression upon hearing Ludens’ words.

In fact, the sun is an essential element in creative works based on fantasy.

However, in the Order Board, the cult centered its activities around the moon, not the sun, and there was no mention of the sun.

At the time, players had questions about this and went looking for stories related to the sun, but couldn’t find any clues, so they just did it.

If you think about it, it’s just a cliche. Because the existence of the sun god was not essential, he did not think much of it.

“The sacred age. The sun and the moon worked together to protect humans. But why do people only remember Luna?”

“There was a big war. “A war unprecedented from the beginning until now.”

“It was called the so-called Holy Demon War.”

“If there are angels, there are also devils. If there are good gods, there are also evil gods. “The gods tried to protect humans from evil spirits.”

As Ludens continued speaking, Dio seemed to notice something and remembered the ‘final chapter’ of the order board.

The Order Edition is certainly great as a game, but in terms of story, it follows the common royal road medieval fantasy.

A story in which the player must grow up and defeat the demon king who wants to conquer the continent.

However, the final scene that Dio is thinking of now is a future that has not yet happened.

Ludens is talking about an incident that occurred in ancient times far away before the Demon King was sealed.

“The power of the evil spirits who wanted to destroy the world was great. But there was nothing they could do against the power of the sun.”

Dio also knew that the existence of the Demon King, who decorates the final phase, is an evil spirit who has been sealed since ancient times, waiting to be resurrected.

However, no details have been revealed about how it was sealed.

Since the detailed story was now coming out of Ludence’s mouth, Dio concentrated on what he was saying.

“Surely the victory of the sun is just around the corner. “The moon became jealous when it saw that.”

Ludens trailed off for a moment, perhaps reminiscing about the long past.

“The jealousy of a being called God is on a different level from the jealousy of humans. In the end, the situation changed drastically. The Demon King was eventually sealed, but the sun was obscured by the moon.”

Ludens’ words were not difficult. To put it simply, it was a story about Luna, the moon god, betraying the sun god.

“The sun has been forgotten. Luna pursued all records related to the sun and those who worshiped light to the end and erased all traces.”

“Then how are you alive? “No, even if you’re alive, you’re a demon, right?”

Dio, who had been listening in silence, could not bear it anymore and asked.

Ludens is clearly a vampire.

Moreover, this road is like living history.

Dio couldn’t understand why he, who had the symbol of the sun, was living the life of a demon.

“I was cursed. Who do you think Luna joined hands with?”

Ludens stared into Dio’s eyes.

“You asked who I was? I am Cardinal ‘Simon’. “It is my past that is now forgotten.”

Ludens is now living quietly in a world of darkness.

He was once a saint who used the brilliant light of the sun to save many people and guide them to the path of the sun.

“Luna borrowed the power of the Demon King to capture the sun, and on the other hand, she encouraged the sun to seal the Demon King.”

The Sun and the Demon King fell at the same time, and in the end, Luna was the final winner of the muddy Holy Demon War.

“The surviving children of the sun are all cursed like me. “In a state where you can neither live nor die.”

Those words reminded Dio.

‘Death Knight of the Forgotten Temple!’

Dio, who remembered the starting point of acquiring the class of forgotten swordsman, was able to easily guess that Death Knight was also a follower of the sun.

“The sun has lost its power, so we cannot use its full power. But the sense of duty remained.”

Solari’s followers have been waiting with bated breath for thousands of years, waiting for an opportunity.

And after a long time, Ludens found an opportunity…

“Sepia.” “The power that child uses. That’s for sure…”

Ludens turned around and focused his gaze on the sleeping Sephia.

“It was the power of the sun.”
