Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 77
Episode 77:
Away from the highways between cities, there are people who farm and live peacefully in fertile granary areas.
Hallshtar, a quiet ruralndscape, is not an area where monster waves ur like Evra Vige.
The vige people who were plowing the fields were curious when they saw the outsiders they usually had a hard time meeting.
The outsiders were young men and women who did not think they had anything to do in this rural town.
At first nce, outsiders who are so handsome and handsome that they look like children of noble families.
However, at the head of the group of outsiders, they were greeted warmly by the sight of a blond young man with a bright smile and a friendly greeting.
* * *
“Oh my, what are these precious masters anddies doing in a vige like this?”
“You look so handsome~”
“Haha, thank you.”
Artes’ handsome appearance certainly gave a favorable impression.
Vigers passing by readily approached the rare outsiders and weed them warmly.
“Ladies, listen to this.”
“Oh my gosh, look at these girls’ skin. Are you from the city or rice?”
Is this what rural people mean?
The old people gave Sephia and Evelyn the potatoes they had harvested and praised their appearance.
Of course, it’s not like they can see through the perception-impairing spell.
‘Athes…there was a setting that he had a lot of affection for the eastern part.’
There are some nobles who are not like that, but most nobles on the Order Board have an authoritative aspect.
The authority of the nobility is essential in the Orderpan ruling system, which was initially based on feudalism.
But there was nothing like that in Artes.
“Seniors, are there any inconveniences these days?”
“There’s nothing like that~”
Ates didn’t know whether he hade to carry out a secret mission to subdue the Demon King’s army or to inspect the eastern region.
Although he did not have the impression of a nobleman, it was clear that if the vigers found out his identity, they would be shocked and turn away.
“Are your brothers from the city?”
“If I go to the city, can I meet the drivers?”
The children who were ying outside flocked to Dio’s group one by one, making it even more noisy.
The group broke into a sweat as they were bombarded with innocent questions from rural children dreaming of bing a city.
But for some reason, these children do not approach D.O easily.
Children may be sensing something that adults cannot sense.
However, this cannot but be a fortunate thing for D.O.
Dio left the group surrounded by children and approached an old man with a cane and opened his mouth.
“excuse me. “Where is the vige chief’s house?”
“Ah, did youe to visit the vige chief? Can you see the house with the chimney over there?”
“Oh, is that there? thank you.”
“Draw.”
Although it was not his first timeing to Hallshtar, Dio decided to ask the vigers for directions and headed to the vige chief’s house.
It would be strange if a stranger who seemed to be new to the vige walked around as if he wasing in and out of my house.
“Are you there?”
As soon as Dio called loudly in front of the vige chief’s house, the door opened and the vige chief with an impressive white beard appeared.
“I was wondering why there was such a fuss outside, and it turned out that it was because a customer was visiting.”
“hello. “It’s called Diamond.”
“Draw. Diamond. “What brings you to such a remote ce?”
“That…”
Dio opened his mouth, looking into the eyes of the vige chief who weed him warmly.
“I’m looking for some ‘gems’.”
Dio spoke carefully, not knowing who would listen.
An absurd story about someone suddenly looking for a gem in a vige like Gangchon.
This was definitely a situation that the other person would find strange.
However, the vige chief’s eyes turned sharp after hearing Dio’s words.
But it is only a fleeting moment.
The vige chief quickly made an iprehensible expression.
“You mean jewels? “If you’re a treasure hunter, I think you’vee to the wrong ce…”
As the vige chief slyly avoided answering, Dio could sense the experience he had umted over many years.
However, even the vige chief’s years of experience were not enough to fool Dio.
“is it so? “I think I came to the right ce.”
Dio, who was smiling, walked closer to the vige chief and whispered.
“The red ‘ga’ that flows with so much elegance.”
“…!”
* * *
Calliope, the Witch of Bnce, was a person who enjoyed entertainment while hiding the fact that she was a witch.
Calliope, who enjoys wearing fancy dresses and pretending to be a nobledy somewhere, uses the name of a jewel at each base.
The pseudonym used here in Hallshtar is ‘Ga’.
Dio knew that she, using an assumed name, was using the vige’s representatives as her servants.
Like the chief of Hallshtar.
“You were precious guests.”
The vige chief, who brought Dio into the house, did not even use dialect, but showed a very polite attitude and served tea to Dio.
“They are acquaintances of Guardian God Ga…”
“To be exact, one of mypanions is just her disciple.”
Dio, who had never met Calliope as a warehouse worker, corrected the vige chief’s words.
“Hehe, the disciple’spanions are also precious people.”
“Is that so?”
“Just then, Ga left a message that one of her students might be visiting.”
Dio raised his eyebrows at the vige chief’s words.
‘Has information been shared between the seven stars? No, Evelyn must have known of my existence since she left the cave…’
Dio was convinced that Calliope was already anticipating his visit.
‘But why is Calliope acting as a guardian deity in the three bases?’
When the vige chief called Ga…or Calliope, his guardian deity, Dio remembered her.
As the vige chief said, the fact that the Witch of Bnce is protecting the vige is information that Dio already knows.
That’s why monster waves don’te to this peaceful town.
But I don’t know why they are protecting it.
‘I was always curious. What does Omangseong study while protecting the vige?’
Dio’s only experience was encountering Calliope as an enemy.
From the beginning, Omangseong was set up as a yer enemy.
So, those who have received Calliope’s grace do not originally tell any stories.
‘But we are not enemies now.’
Dio is the key chosen by Sri and has a mission to carry on the will of the Great Warrior.
If you think about Kalfael, even if you belong to the same group, you can’t necessarily say that they are safe…
Still, since they are formally on the same side, the vige chief may be weing them like this.
“Isn’t Ga here?”
“He stopped by the vige about a month ago and left again a few dayster.”
“Ga, what are you doing here?”
Dio naturally asked for information about Calliope, but the chief only shook his head.
“How could I possibly know what the guardian spirit is doing? Even if I knew, it would be difficult to tell Diamond.”
“I guess so…”
Dio looked embarrassed as the vige chief spoke politely.
It was a tactic that had already been used several times in games, but as expected, the vige chiefs did not open their mouths.
‘In the end, I have no choice but to ask Calliope directly.’
Dio, who was trying to collect as much information as possible about the seven stars, did not fail to ask Evelyn about this.
However, even Evelyn, Calliope’s favorite disciple, only knew the level of knowledge that Dio knew.
Moreover, the same seven stars did not really know what Calliope was doing.
Still, meeting each other is more important than what you do.
“When will Gae visit?”
“well. I don’t think I can tell you exactly because the cycle is so irregr. But my absence rarelysts longer than a month.”
“is it so?”
Dio was lost in thought at the vige chief’s words.
‘If you’re unlucky, your paths may diverge.’
It was clear that if that happened, the meeting with Calliope would take longer.
Of course, they would meet someday, but Dio wanted to meet her as soon as possible.
‘But waiting in the vige seems like a waste of time.’
“If you are staying in the vige, I will prepare a room for you.”
The vige chief, who realized what Dio was thinking about, opened his mouth.
But Dio had already decided that it would be better to move than to wait.
“it’s okay. “I know the area where Ga is active, so I think it would be better to move.”
* * *
After politely refusing the vige chief’s request to go and have a meal, Dio went out, thinking about his future ns.
‘It looks like I’ll have to climb a mountain to get to the next base… Should I try hunting and moving around?’
As the rmended level in the surrounding area coincided with the level of the group, we slowly walked around the vige while making a n.
The reason Dio came to Hallshtar, where there was nothing, was to find Calliope’s whereabouts.
Still, all I could get from the conversation with the vige chief was that Calliope visited Hallshtar a month ago.
There was no need to stay here any longer.
‘There aren’t any hidden pieces around… hmm?’
Dio raised his head when he saw Evelyn alone in his field of vision.
Evelyn is sitting on the fence protecting the flower bed, looking somewhat lonely.
“What are you doing? “Where are the other kids going?”
Dio looked around and opened his mouth to Evelyn.
At this, Evelyn began to hesitate and mutter.
“No, just. “I’m not used to talking to ordinary people…”
Evelyn lived in a closet all her life.
She seemed to be shy because she knew full well that witches were not wee.
Even though she hides her identity as a witch.
The only time she acts immaturely is when herpanions recognize that she is a witch.
‘Well, there’s no way a witch would have a good social life.’
Dio unconsciously stroked the head of Evelyn, who looked pitiful.
Evelyn seemed a little surprised by this, but she smiled and opened her mouth, as if her colleague’s touch was not bad.
“What have you been doing?”
“I was seeking information from the vige chief. “About ‘Ga’.”
“Oh right. “It was like that.”
Evelyn nodded at Dio’s words.
“So what do you say? “Where is Master?”
“Even the vige chief doesn’t know. “It is clear that they are using the vige as a base for their activities.”
“Then what do we do? “Wait in town?”
“Can’t you send a messenger using a familiar?”
“Um… I usually do that when I contact my teacher, but… I don’t usually get a reply.”
Evelyn grunted as she remembered the time she lived in the cave.
“But just in case, send it to me. “Anyway, Calliope already knows that you left the cave.”
“Ugh…what if they get angry that I showed up on my own?”
Even though Evelyn was worried at Dio’s words, she summoned her familiar.
‘If we let them know we’re nearby, they mighte visit us directly.’
Dio thought as he looked at the crow that Evelyn was sending away.
Of course, even if that happens, I have no intention of wasting time waiting in town.
Because the n has already been made.
