Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 177
Episode 177
: The new morning that came to the Empire brought something special to the people in the imperial capital.
This was because the official ceremony to welcome the hero who returned from the Demon World began in earnest today.
There was a huge crowd of people who came after hearing the news.
Half of them were waving small flags the size of their palms.
The symbol drawn on the flag is none other than the sun.
The circle carved on a white background and the flames surrounding it were the unmistakable sign of Solari.
“Solari! Solari!”
“Mom, look over there! “It’s Daejeon Temple!”
“Sun God!”
The cheers of the countless people gathered in the main plaza echoed across the dazzling sky.
As if hoping to reach Solari in the sky.
Dio and his party were standing on a high platform installed in the main plaza, and in front of them, the emperor was awarding merits for the eastern expedition.
Merits bestowed directly by the emperor of an empire are valuable simply by their existence.
The people once again cheered and stretched out their hands toward the great warrior of Solari, whom the Emperor had acknowledged.
The reason they were so enthusiastic was simple.
Because the mythical hero I always had in my heart appeared before my eyes.
It was the imperial guards who were embarrassed by the intense heat they gave off.
No matter how hard the guards tried to stop people trying to get closer to Dio and his companions, they were gradually pushed back.
“Daejeonsa saw me! “You were looking at me!”
“Me too, me too! He turned his head and looked straight into my eyes!”
“You chose me! “You recognized my true faith!”
“Aaaah! “Mr. Roberto!”
“I am willing to sacrifice this life for the Sun God!”
Were Dio’s missionary activities too excessive?
Among the audience, there were many people who seemed a little crazy.
They called out the names of not only Dio but also Sepia Evelyn Roberto and shouted loudly that a true warrior party had appeared.
* * *
“Isn’t it rather scary to be welcomed this much?”
“What do you think? “It’s much better than cursing.”
After completing their morning schedule, Dio and his companions took a breather in the residence provided by the emperor.
The place they stay is a mansion right next to Avalon Palace, where the emperor resides.
While Dio and his party were here, they were served by the imperial maids and enjoyed a luxury they had never experienced before.
“Is this the end of our morning schedule?”
“Yes, but I have plans to dine with prominent families at Avalon Palace starting from lunch. And there will be a laurel wreath awarding ceremony afterwards.”
Dio knows without Sepia having to explain it.
The fact is that the welcoming party hosted by the emperor lasts all day.
For Dio, a modern man, these noble events are truly tiring.
Nevertheless, the reason Dio persevered and adjusted his schedule to the emperor’s schedule was because all of this was helpful to him.
‘Just this morning, the number rose to nearly 10,000.’
Although this was all just a show-off welcome party, the effect it had on attracting Solari’s followers was outstanding.
Dio could wave to people all day long to recruit Solari’s followers.
As the number of believers increases, you also become stronger.
‘But there’s still time until lunch. Then…’
Dio originally planned to stop by the warehouse after the welcoming party was over.
Considering the crowds gathered in the main plaza, it would be more convenient to move after a few people have left.
But now my thoughts have changed.
Whether he went to the warehouse now or later, it was clear that Dio would attract people’s attention.
There was almost no one in the empire who did not know Dio’s face.
Rather, it would have been better to take advantage of the crowds and quickly go to the warehouse while hiding with Evelyn’s magic.
“Where is Evelyn now?”
“A restaurant. He said he ran out of sugar…”
“No, isn’t he hungry?”
In response to Sepia, Dio slowly stood up.
“Where are you going?”
“I have some business to do for a moment. “I’ll be back soon so I’m resting.”
As I was thinking about it, I was thinking of going to the warehouse quickly.
The clothes the emperor gave me now are too flashy, so I change into normal clothes.
Additionally, if Evelyn’s magic was used to deceive her appearance, no one would know even if she walked around the square.
* * *
“Wow – how about Sepia?”
“Fit well. “I guess you’re an archmage like Calliope now?”
“Hehe really?”
Dio and his group, all gathered in one room, were expressing their admiration for the new equipment without noticing the passage of time.
Distribution of warehouse items planned from the time Dio arrived in the empire.
Since there was some free time, Dio moved right away.
As planned, I quickly left the mansion using Evelyn’s perception-impairing magic and wearing normal clothes.
There was no need to obtain permission from the emperor.
With Dio’s ability now, it would be very easy to avoid the imperial security and stop by the warehouse for a short time.
‘I was really crazy about the order board, too.’
Dio was impressed by the sight of Evelyn and Sepia dressed up in fancy clothes.
The equipment they were currently wearing was all level 400 or higher, and the minimum level was a legendary item.
Just by reaching level 400 on the order board, you are treated as a dead person.
Moreover, Dio, who had collected the highest level items suitable for level 400 in each set, was one of the stagnant items.
It was a moment when Dio himself realized it.
This is how hard he worked on the order board.
“I feel like I can move up to six or seven shadows right now!”
Evelyn ran around like a child, holding on to the cone-shaped hat that gave off the feel of a witch.
The black shawl draped over her shoulders fluttered every time Evelyn ran, and a soft light twinkled around it.
That effect isn’t just a decoration to make things look cool.
This meant that Evelyn’s entire body was covered with the ‘Blessing of Mana’, a jet black set option that can be worn at level 410.
‘Intelligence stat increased by 45% due to set effect. It also has 200% mana recovery and expanded vision.’
The protection wrapped in the jet black snake set has its own defense power equivalent to that of the warrior class armor.
In addition, ‘Mana Silk’, which is included in the production of the Black Knight, basically increases mana sensitivity.
The higher the sensitivity, the more you can see things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
This means that Evelyn’s current abilities have increased to the point where they are no different from Calliope of the Seven Stars.
Of course, there would be a difference in terms of experience, but that was Evelyn’s responsibility.
“How about yours? “It’s not uncomfortable, right?”
Dio asked Roberto, who was carefully examining the equipment he was wearing next to him.
“Not at all. It’s really amazing. “It looks quite heavy, but it’s not heavy at all.”
A set of iron blood armor, level 400 equipment given to Roberto.
The jet black armor given to Evelyn is equipment that any wizard class can wear, but the conditions for the ‘iron blood armor set’ were a little more stringent.
This item can only be worn by classes that have learned blood magic.
There was no equipment in Dio’s warehouse that suited Roberto better than this.
‘A set effect that doubles all blood magic. Plus, it has its own blood-sucking effect.’
The iron and blood armor Roberto wore flashed like full plate armor.
However, unlike typical plate armor, there was blood red in its silver luster.
“Maybe the reason you don’t feel heavy is because you’re strong?”
“Maybe so. But it’s a little different from that. “I feel like I can move faster than usual now.”
As Roberto moved his body lightly and said exactly what he felt, Dio nodded.
‘In addition to the strength bonus, iron-blooded armor also has an agility bonus. It may be a little bit, but since Roberto has a good sense, he must have felt it right away.’
Dio sensed that Roberto’s fighting power had reached Galleto’s level.
“Sepia is also very pretty! “After all, she is a saint of our Solari!”
“It’s my first time wearing such pretty clothes…”
Sepia smiled shyly, as if she was embarrassed, at Evelyn’s compliment.
Sudan covered in wavy silk.
Like Roberto, it was a Sky Silk set, a level 420 equipment with the restriction of being exclusive to the priest class.
‘When I wore it, it felt a little more spacious.’
The sky silk set that Sepia was currently wearing was narrower overall than when Dio wore it.
All of Dio’s items given to the group so far were automatically dressed according to the size of the group.
This only happened with Dio’s items.
The party believed this to be the power of Solari.
In reality, it was the power of the system.
Because of this, all of the equipment Dio wore did not feel awkward at all when his companions wore them.
No, in fact, it looked more luxurious when the group wore it than when Dio wore it.
“Dio’s equipment doesn’t look ordinary either. “What on earth is it made of?”
Roberto looked with interest at Dio’s equipment, which was watching the group.
The light armor didn’t seem that special.
However, the platinum color reflected on the shoulder decorations, including the shoulder straps, was unusual.
“…is that really made of mithril?”
Roberto noticed that Dio’s equipment contained an abundance of magical power.
A mysterious metal that is said to contain magical power.
In fact, on the order board, Mithril equipment is classified as the highest level.
However, Dio’s equipment is not satisfactory with ‘mere’ mithril.
“Yongrin.”
“yes?”
Roberto questioned Dio’s words as if he had misheard.
Dio spoke to Roberto once again.
“It’s made from Yongrin.”
“If it’s Yongrin…oh my god, you mean dragon scales!?”
“that’s right.”
“I thought dragons were creatures that only appeared in mythology…”
“Haha, dragons are alive here somewhere.”
“I see…”
After finishing the question and answer with Roberto, Dio looked at his proud equipment.

—————
The best material on the order board is Yongrin. cannot be left out.
Dragon scales.
The Platinum Yongrin set was an order final set item made from the scales of a mythical dragon, and it was equipment that Dio could barely make.
This is because I was barely able to make one part of the Platinum Yongrin set while raising one character to max level.
In other words, only users who have at least 6 characters at max level on the order board can have the Platinum Yongrin set.
‘If I were to use the blessing of the sun…’
Dio planned to strengthen all the equipment items taken from the warehouse with the blessing of the sun.
Since you can only strengthen two items a week, you will have to work diligently, but as long as you can get stronger, you can wait as long as you want.
Anyway, Dio is currently focusing on increasing the number of believers rather than hunting, so if there are no problems, he will be able to strengthen everything.
‘At this level, I wouldn’t have to worry about dealing with Kaleina.’
Dio was confident that if the power of faith was applied to the strengthened Platinum Yongrin set, he would be able to easily defeat Kaleina.
Of course, Dio’s enemy is not Kaleina alone, so it is not without variables.
Just as Dio was trying to recall Solari’s warning, there was a knock on the door.
