＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

I logged into Dendro after running errands at home.

It is no longer the fountain of the king's capital that you are familiar with that you descended from... but it seems that this place has also become a battlefield in the example terrorism, where there are traces of it.

Doesn't mean it stays broken. As a result of fixing it with a job or an embrio, you can see the patchwork of a new and unbroken part after repair.

I hear that over time you will become naturally tamed, but this will be the case for a while throughout the Wang capital.

"Ray."

Looking at the surrounding landscape that way, Nemesis came out of the crest.

"Nemesis"

"Would it be another holiday from today on? You want to get the next job and take it to the next level?

From the harmony conference until now, the weekdays could not be raised very much.

Strongly enough, I raised the level of [scouts] that I was still on my way to 50.

This brings me to level 250 for once and half way to Kanst.

I'm worried about my next job, but I'm thinking about getting around [knights], [priests] and [adventurers] who were first among my previous candidates. [Knight] and [Priest] match [Saint Knight], and [Adventurer] has many versatile skills, so if you have [Saint Knight] as your main job, you can use your skills almost uselessly.

Just let's get those levels up later.

"You have other business ahead of you. The day after tomorrow, so will Gideon."

"Oh, there it is."

"I just emailed everyone, but they're already moving to Gideon, so I have to go, too"

I have exchanged e-mail addresses with members of the clan because there has been a lot going on.

Different people use it for me or get it for contact, but this makes it easier to communicate between clans.

By the way, contacts in real life, unlike Dendro, are not automatically translated. And Luke and Mr. Figaro are English-speaking people, so Io and the others said, "Free translation software is mandatory......! He said."

"I'll be there as soon as I get on silver, so I'll clean up my errands in Wang Du first."

"Hmm. And you made it easier to get to Gideon. I used to say I was headed across the day in Marilyn's dragon car."

"Right."

Is that more than three months ago if you convert it to this time?

Cross the < Sauda Mountain Road > where the seniors were blocking it, smother it with something you can't call Marie's fucking muzzled meal at night, and fight [Gardranda] the next day... that was really a lot then too.

... But why are we looking back at the past so much today?

"... a running lantern?

"... what are you suddenly saying about bad luck?

"Could it be that my reunion with my sister is confirmed and my body is looking at the past with a feeling of death at stake?

"... what a sister you are to your Lord."

"Storm"

"... what about human metaphor?"

... Well, let's put my sister's story on the shelf for a bit. It's only a week away in real life.

"For now, stop by the Demon King Antiques Store, and then the castle."

"Hmm, speaking of which, I was picking it up."

"Oh."

◇

I was visiting the Demon King's Antiques store the other day when I desperated and returned to the King's Capital.

That's to find an alternative to the [VDA] - [Volcanic Dark Metal Armor] that lost everything.

That armor the seniors gave me helped me in the battle after Calcherathan, but it broke to the point that it was irreparable in the battle against [the Beast King].

So we have to find new armor.

So I was handling a used rare item and headed to the Demon King Antiques store where I had taken a few legs before.

But I didn't find the right armor to look in the store.

The level band doesn't fit, or the performance drops more than [VDA].

So when I tried to buy under-performing armor by breaking it from a single connection, it was cut out like this from the store owner who hid his face with a headscarf.

"It'll take a while, but it's better armor than the [VDA] the customer wore in the store before, so let's pick it up because it's going to be another branch? Of course, it can be equipped in the customer's level zone."

He remembered when he came to buy the item box before.

And I also remember my gear at the time, and they said that I could have something higher performance by comparison.

This offer was something I didn't even wish for, so I asked for it back.

◇

"So, maybe they've already arrived."

"But new armor?... what kind of armor."

"If it performs well, I've never been over it."

"No, what I care about is not performance"

"So what do you care?

"... come on, I want you to guess in this interaction."

I questioned the words of Nemesis, but within speaking I reached the Demon King Antiques Store.

Pushing open the door, the counter still had a headscarf shopkeeper figure today.

"Excuse me, have you received the armor you asked for back?

"Yes, it's arrived."

That's what the store owner said. He took a piece of armor out of the item box and placed it on the counter.

"... Huh?

"Mm, is this armor... the same thing (...)?

Yes, the store owner put it on the counter...... [VDA].

Neither the design nor the weight in your hand is different from the previous one.

... No? The inside of the armor is made slightly different. This one seems easier to move when worn, and it looks sturdy anyway.

"Yes, [VDA] from Legendary. However, it looks the same but not the same as what the customer wore before. The basic performance is somewhat higher here due to the difference in craftsmanship, and most importantly, the specifications are different."

"Specifications?"

"It's a product. We can change the specifications to some extent during production. The [VDA] the customer wore before was made to lower the gearability level with production skills"

Speaking of which, the seniors said that too.

The previous [VDA] had a gearability level of more than 100, but said it was originally more than 200.

"The gearability level of this [VDA] remains the same, but instead it has" HP Enlargement "and" Damage Resistance "gear skills"

"Heh."

However, Damage Resistance is a skill that makes it harder to break your gear. It's useful to me that I often break something.

And I miss "HP Enlargement." The first piece of protective equipment I bought, a skill that was also found in the Liott series.

... No? That's HP Increase (...), so it's different?

"Um, what's the difference between" HP Increase "and" HP Increase "?

"HP Increase is a fixed value increase, but HP Increase is a percentage increase. Basically, HP Growth is more compatible, but HP Growth is more useful when the level is lower."

I see. So did the Liott series in the low level band have "HP Increase"?

"Incidentally, this HP Increase is a Skill Level 5 specification, so HP increases by 50%."

"Don't get so much more ⁉"

If I were you, I'd have over 10,000 more HP. ⁉

"I've never seen such a ton of demonstrable incremental gear other than perk weapons..."

"Is it useful for customers?

"Oh,... you know me?

"Because I'm a celebrity"

... Well, he said Franklin's case was relayed even in Wang Du, and it's no surprise the store owner knew.

"... but the shopkeeper. Products with all that powerful gear skills, aren't they pretty rare?

To Nemesis's question, the shopkeeper nods.

"Let's see. Skill granting during production can fail, and the more powerful the skill, the better its chances are. Skill Level V of HP Enlargement. In addition, there is also" Breach Resistance "… even decent producers will not have a 2% chance of success with this grant. Note that when screwed, the equipment itself deteriorates. Depending on how you make it, you may also be granted a negative effect."

... That's another scary story.

Apparently the production system is a high risk high return.

"There are also [recipes], so products in vegan state can be produced relatively easily if they have enough DEX and skills, but high-performance custom products are really rare. This armor was also left behind by an old craftsman, [The Craft] several generations ago."

That's amazing.

Is that why the appearance is the same but even different to the inner workmanship and foundation performance?

"The previous [VDA] is also a good one... or [VDA] is just a testament to excellent technology, and it's a good one that was lowering the gearability level by as much as 100. But the handmade [master craftsman] is better in boulders."

"So much delicacy, isn't it expensive? If you have a success rate of 2%, it's worth 50 times more in simple calculations."

Oh, I did. I'm also concerned about the price.

I didn't ask for the price beforehand even though I got it back.

And I'm curious about the price......

"If you give me the price, add the historical value - it's 200 million lil"

"I just...!

But... I can't help but price it.

With 50% more HP, there will be people who want more hands out of their throats even in the level band above me. Like a durable, HP-specific super position.

Rather, I can even say that it's a big surprise offer as much as you can buy with money.

Still, I would only be able to handle about a super position...... normally.

"A customer can pay about (...)"

Yeah. I can buy it.

Because I have all sorts of holdings and now - nearly 400 million lil.

It continued to be used without much use, and was even the result of a major battle between Cashmere and Tom. Buying in [Brooch] didn't reduce it much.

I mean, why does this shopkeeper know about your lord's nostalgia?

I don't know. I guess that's a good thing because I'm a professional merchant.

…………

I was going to use my current holdings as a fund to find my home base.

But... this armor is a great help to me right now.

Missing this doesn't seem to give me a chance to get it, and what's up......

"But I'd rather barter than money"

And the store owner cut that out to me worried.

"Huh?"

Barter... what's 200 million lil worth?

"Customer, you were involved in the Kalceratan case before, right?

"Yes."

I nodded, wondering if they even grasped that.

"In doing so, we also heard that we got a lot of metal powder that came out of civilized weapons from earlier periods."

"Metal powder?... Oh, that one"

That's what remained in large quantities on the site of that wreckage after that earlier period of civilized whale-type giant weaponry crashed.

That was recovered by the kingdom, but I also defeated the whale, so I have received about three item boxes.

But I don't have a lot of errands to use, and after I've had the [Stormface] of the anti-poison mask built, it's dead.

"Could you trade it for that? Or let me take it."

"Ha, that's all right..."

"at 100 grams 20,000 lil."

"Huh!?

What's the price!? It's like the end price of white powder you shouldn't!? Powder, but not like that!?

... I mean, wait.

I have three item boxes.

The total weight is unknown because it has never been removed, but the tutorial said Chesha would go in a ton per item box of initial equipment.

I mean, I have at least three tons of powder.

3000 kilograms.

3000000 grams.

... 600 million lil?

"... the asset doubles even after deducting the cost of the armor"

Right. You're scared of the white powder deal.

There are many things that seem to sink into Tokyo Bay. Cowaii.

"Calm down, the tension in your heart's voice is a little strange"

"Oh, yeah."

Be Cool. Be Cool.

Calm down, calm down.

"... it's kind of another guy's story."

HAHAHAHA. Don't say things you don't understand, Nemesis.

Well, whatever it is, it's settled.

"Um, why are you at such a price?

"That's the metal particle used to manufacture the [second model], isn't it? I know that's useful for making a variety of top gear. But for the most part, the country won't come around holding it down. Many of them are used to manufacture [second models]."

Indeed.

We should have given top priority to [second model] production in order to increase our strength as a country.

The rest will be limited, and I guess it hasn't flowed to the public as raw material.

"It is no longer pure material because it has been alloyed in the course of manufacturing, even if we try to reduce it to material from [second model] that went on the market"

"Hmm. So Ray is the only one who has that powder in bulk individually as well, keeping that powder in the ingredient, right?

"That's what I mean"

I see.

The high value and the reason why you brought this story to me was speculative.

…………

Well, what do we do?

I can also buy it for money, but I would like to leave it if I consider that there will also be a home search in the future.

... I would have thought of offering this material if the clan had someone in production, but I'm not in Hate and Death Period.

You can sell this place.

But there may be people in production jobs joining us in the future, so let's leave more behind.

"Could you give it to me?

"... for one item box"

I gave the owner the metal powder item box in my possession.

Negotiations were concluded and I got a new armor… a high-performance [VDA].

It should be noted that when the store owner examined the capacity of the item box and the weight of the powder inside, it was three tons in a box, so he was to get 400 million lil in addition to the armor.

... I have six more tons, but let's take this without selling it.

To be continued
