＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

Outside The Use of Money

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

Ten days in dendro time since some white coat made the case.

Me and Luke, Marie's party was still in Gideon.

In the meantime, it's Alliance Quest and a mock fight in the arena to say what you were doing.

He was on a very MMORPG-like quest, including collecting building materials for a broken building and crusading certain species of monsters.

And as for mock warfare...... yeah, well, I learned.

Except that the odds of winning are significantly lower.

... I have no choice.

If the opponent goes as far as Marie, he's still trying to mock his brother, Mr. Figaro, and, besides, Mr. Figaro's dueling buddies' rankers and swift feathers.

I didn't mean to lose, but sometimes there's nothing I can do about boulders.

Rankers will still mean Rankers because they can't win early even if they unlock resuscitation accessories and disposable barrier items just as a handful here. It's not like some white coat.

All defensive items were broken and sharpened, but it was a battle within the boundaries of the arena that saved the items used and broken accessories back to normal.

[Lifesaving Brooch] and other items combined for a price of about 10 million, so that really helped.

Well, put that money in the amount of about ten [Gardranda] prizes.

Whatever you think, it was a lot of money, an amount I couldn't help at the beginning.

But it's a fine amount for me to use right now.

Because there were two big payouts.

First, the prize money for the Gods Mays Bandits, and the dividend for that bet that stuck it all in, came in right.

The 60 million that went into it, doubled and returned seventy-two million.

I was a few days late at the end of some white coat incident, but I'm still thankful they paid me right.

Next, a bounty from Count Gideon.

A large bounty was paid to the Master who fought in that case.

Especially the amount of Rookie momentum that jumped out of the central arena at that time, as well as Faceko, who was outside from the start, is huge. Marie also didn't get a bounty for the case because the only person she knew who she was, but she said she did some work apart from that case and got money from the Count.

And the amount paid to me and my brother was also huge.

My brother said 'Kumar, who could have covered 10% of the ammo bill to go with that suicide series drop'... how much did I use?

Speaking of which, I had this conversation with Luke about this bounty.

That was two days ago......

◇ ◇ ◇

"Mr. Ray, actually, I'd like to ask you a favor."

"Hmm?"

Luke brought the story to me, who received a bounty and wagering dividend from Count Gideon and was worried about "what am I supposed to do with this big buck".

"That's unusual. I can't believe Luke asked for it."

"Yes, because it's something I can't do on my own. Actually, about my career change..."

Luke's transfer.

That's a transfer to [Dead Eight], a senior position in the female lineage.

There are three conditions. "[Woman] 's level is 50," "The total status of the distribution is more than constant," and "The amount earned as [Woman] is more than a million lil" should have been.

Luke had cleared the first two of these, but the last "amount earned as a [woman]" was a necklace and he couldn't transfer.

For this reason, after Kanst's level of [Woman] in Franklin's case, he was temporarily transferred to [Associate Demon Master] to raise the level of his "Demon Enhancement" skills.

Has a solution been found?

"Did you get a thread to transfer to [Dead Eight]?

"Yes."

Luke nodded at my inquiry and took out the gold coin bag that he had prepared in advance from the item box.

"I want Mr. Ray to send me a nomination request with this money."

"... oh, I see"

"The amount earned as [female] is more than one million lil". It takes a lot of time and effort to achieve that condition normally.

But if you prepare your own money and ask a third party to make a request for you to nominate yourself… it will be resolved quickly.

I guess this bounty made that possible.

"It contains a million lil in rewards for me and a million lil in fees to the [female] guild, plus two million lil. Take that. [Girl] You can make a request at the Alliance counter."

"Oh, I know............... [Woman] The Alliance brings half the reward!?"

That's too much pin honey!?

"I don't have a choice. [Woman] They're also multiplying taxes a lot for the guild to do as a public guild. It seems that some people are reluctant to go through the guild and do [girlfriend] work individually... but it would be a crime if you were in the kingdom."

... [Woman] Apparently, the job itself was a grey zone.

Incidentally, only public guild tangled jobs where [slave traders] of the merchant lineage paid similarly large taxes are legal, and it seems that individual [slave traders] are criminals. The kingdom is tough around there... or there doesn't seem to be a loophole.

gossip.

As such, I sent Luke a nomination request at the [Girl] Guild with the gold coin bag I received from Luke.

Whatever the request was, I somehow remembered the elephant ball-riding in the circus I saw on the news this morning, so I wrote down "I want to see Marilyn on the ball-riding" or something.

In conclusion, he regretted that it should have been a simpler request.

It started where Marilyn looked for balls to ride and then needed to be specially trained until Marilyn had a successful ball-riding.

That's how Marilyn spent all day and night mastering ball-riding...... she did bad things to Luke and Marilyn.

As a result, however, the request was fulfilled and Luke successfully transferred to [Dead VIII].

◇

For the record, a rumor spread to Gideon that a little after I made my request, "some guy showed the drunken rich a monster ball-ride and got a million lils," that a ball-ride boom would come between [the woman] and [the exorcist]... I didn't know that yet at this time.

◇ ◇ ◇

Let's get back to me.

With dividends and bounty combined, the holdings exceeded hundreds of millions, and I could afford the money, I bought all kinds of gear.

First, I gave my brother the accessories for what I had broken during my first quest, and also bought [lifesaving brooches] for myself like I mentioned earlier.

In addition, a simple prosthetic arm for the left hand was purchased.

This prosthetic hand is, in short, a hook-shaped prosthetic hand that "the pirates seem to wear".

It's not the type that connects nerves to the arm, it's the type that can be worn across a section like a handbag.

I can narrow or spread the hook ring through the MP, but I can't handle it like a hand because I can't fine tune it and I don't have any fingers.

So what's the point, this is a prosthetic hand to hold the horse's reins.

According to Alejandro, who sold this to me, knights and nobles who lost their arms in wars and so on were developed to ride horses in the future.

I also need to ride silver, so I appreciated the presence of this prosthetic hand.

The problem is that the side wearing the prosthetic hand will be only grasping the reins, so it has to be a blind spot when fighting on horses. And you won't be able to equip the left hand of the [armor] because of the shape problem, but I can't help but care about this now.

Incidentally, it seems that Legendary and Yellow River have higher performance magic item prostheses, while Drife has mechanical prostheses.

But none of them are custom-made to suit the individual, so they don't show up on the market.

I can't help what I don't have, and now this prosthetic hand is enough. You might find a way to cure your left hand.

It's just that for some reason I put this on and then I'm around... especially when Nemesis says something and he looks at me.

Is it because I'm still a pirate-like prosthetic?

And since I could afford the money, I'm also turning the chatter around at Mr. Alejandro's store.

Contents once a day, 100,000 lil a shot battle.

... I think I can spin more, but I can't help it because Nemesis says "that's all I can tolerate".

"If I were to say I would turn it any further, I would just eat the same amount as the amount I turned," so I had to leave, too. He has enough stomach to carry out that threat right now.

By the way, about the chatter, but it hasn't hit any better than C so far.

Originally, S, A and B appear to be difficult to come up with specifications.

I guess there was something wrong with me and Luke that day about this.

But I'd like to see you hit about A or B.

"I mean, if you have all this money, can you normally buy most of it? Why turn the chatter?

"Because there is an unknown there"

"... I didn't want you to use a good dialogue."

Is it a mistake to think that not knowing what will come out is just fascinating?

Besides, I'm putting in another hundred thousand lils today to turn the chatter around.

Then……,

"... A?

Second rarity from above, you can say this is a hit.

I finally got a hit... but honestly I had my doubts.

To say what you questioned, it's a capsule of chatter.

Previously, when Luke hit S, it was like a rainbow ore capsule, and even when I gave out a silver X, it was a regular capsule even with an engraving called X.

But this time...... it was obviously not normal.

The color of the capsule is black and the letter "A" is red...... for some reason it is typewritten like melted.

Moreover, there are several red muscles floating on the surface of the capsule like blood vessels.

It says in Todome, "Please open it in a childless place with strict caution".

............... what is this?

"It will be a treasure chest of curses"

As I looked at the capsule with my neck tilted beside the chatter, I was hung like that from the side.

Turning around, a girl stands wearing a Gothic dress armor.

"Oh, Juliette"

"Kukukuku, since yesterday's immortal battle," wrapped in a black purple and red lotus, darkened with light, brave man. "

It was someone I knew who spoke to.

Mr. Figaro's dueling buddy and fourth in the Kingdom's dueling rankings, Juliette of "Black Raven”.

I've had a few mock fights too, but contrary to appearance, it's easy to hang out with.

I'm just a little bit of a rhetorical habit, and you call me weird two names.

"You know about this capsule?

"Ruri. It will seal a curse colored with blood and resentment and a treasure chest. Based on rare grades, the more powerful you become, the sword of the blades that erode the body and mind of the user."

Hmm. There's a cursed item in this, which would be a pretty good one because it's a hit, but the curse could be severe, too, he said.

…………

"If it becomes normal, the curse falls only on the user. But when there is a fierce star in heaven, the scourge reaches all around. That tragedy, it's something you can't forget."

Normally, the curse only hangs on the equipped person, but sometimes it can annoy the people around you too, so be careful, huh?

……………………

"Okay. Then I can vacate it in a place where there are no people. Thanks for the advice."

"Kukukuk, you don't even need to thank me for this advice. But if the Black, Purple, Red, Lotus, the Light, the Dark, and the Brave want it, they will soon fight immortality again."

"Oops. Let's do another mock fight."

That's why I broke up with Juliette.

Now, take this capsule where there are no people around......

"……………"

And Nemesis, who had been silent for some time, called out with an indescribable look.

"What's up?

"Lord, how can we talk normally?

"You mean Juliette? He's a little scared of gear, but he's a good guy, and he's easy to talk to."

"It's not... oh, yeah. If you don't know, fine."

……

◇

For that reason the place is the usual Nex Plains.

From the [Gardranda] test here, I generally feel like I'm here when I try something related to an item.

Open a capsule of the cursed item, making sure there are no people within a hundred meters of the perimeter.

Coming out of the inside was an upper body gear called [C (Cursed) B (Bloody) R (Regenerated) Armor]. "Cursed and blood-dyed recycled armor" in Japanese?

It's probably a kind of lightweight armor...... red as blood and looks very disastrous.

There are 200 defense corrections, harder than the sturdiest [armor] I've ever had in my gear.

In addition, there is an equipment skill called "Blood Flow Regeneration" Lv3, which seems to restore HP by 3 points per second. It's not that powerful, but it would be useful because it's passive and they don't consume my MP or SP.

For that reason, [CBR Armor] is not as broken as the perk gear, but seems to be quite usable, but naturally it says "Cursed" for a reason.

[CBR Armor]

armor mass-produced by an evil alchemist.

It gives the user the ability to regenerate, but its source is resentment contrived with the blood of the victim in steel.

Therefore, various curses are inflicted on the wearer by resentment.

- Curse

[Bleeding], [Curse], [Weakening]

* Equipment Limit: Total Level 50 +

"On top of not being here... bleeding, unable to move, and halving his status at the time he wore it," he said.

In short, it is just a blood bag maker. I don't care what you think. I can't use this.

The disadvantages are too great for the considerable advantages. What are you thinking? I mass-produced this stuff.

Besides, is it to wear it extensively and curse, the kindness that the gear limit level is "total level 50 +"? I don't need it. Such kindness.

I don't know what to do, this.

I wonder if I can sell it... but selling it doesn't seem like I can get the chatter out of me.

"... [Dark Knight] then I guess I can wear it normally"

The same goes for Juliette, whom I met earlier, but the Dark Knight lineage has the skills to mitigate the disadvantages of cursed gear.

So I guess [Dark Knight] would be good...... Hate and I'm [Holy Knight].

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"............... Oh, I did. Lord, it was [the Holy Knight]."

"Don't forget their job."

But I wonder what's really going on.

The armor that [bleeds] and [debilitates] just wears this......... yeah?

"Have you lost anything?

I left the description out in the item window earlier, but I feel that the text has changed slightly.

Yes, there are three to two granted state anomalies...... Ah, again reduced.

[Bleeding] only, and after a little of that [bleeding]... disappeared.

In addition, the skills of Blood Flow Regeneration have somehow reached a skill level of 1.

As a result, this happened.

[BR Armor]

armor mass-produced by an evil alchemist.

It gives the user the ability to regenerate, but its source is resentment contrived with the blood of the victim in steel.

It used to curse the wearer, but the curse is gone and the ability to regenerate is weakened because resentment has sprayed away.

Blood Flow Regeneration LV 1

* Equipment Limit: Total Level 50 +

"... why?

"Strange."

It doesn't make sense how my resentment suddenly sprayed away.

It's like something sucked me off (...) but I did......

"" Ah. "

Me and Nemesis all together and watch my step.

There were purple boots...... [purple grudging armor gozmaize] that absorbed resentment and stored it.

Unlike [Gardranda], there's nothing left like will, but I feel like I'm saying "welcome" anyway.

Apparently, the resentment that was nearby... has absorbed [CBR Armor] resentment.

"... you, you used it this way too"

That's not exactly effective for all curse gear, though.

This time, the enclosed resentment happened to be the source of the curse, so I was able to deal with it in [Purple Grievance Runaway].

Thus, although the weakening occurred, [CBR Armor] again [BR Armor] became normally usable armor.

It was a better piece of equipment than the light armor I'm wearing right now, so I'm going to try it on because it's a corner.

"Oh, it looks pointy, but it's easy to navigate."

I liked it more than I thought.

I have some Blood Flow Regeneration skills, and I'll do it with this gear for a while.

…………

And I'm looking at this one whenever Nemesis says something.

"What's up?

"... No, I won't say anything because the Lord chose me"

Somehow today's nemesis is poorly toothed in speech.

Is it troubling?

"Not really... but I can't tell the Lord"

If you can't tell me, it could be something because of a woman.

Then it's wild to go in here, too.

"Then no. Let's go get some dinner."

"…………………"

So when we got our new gear, we went back to Gideon for lunch.

◆ ◆ ◆

■ Drife Empire - Home

That day, some white coat - Franklin was checking for footage from a reconnaissance monster that flew around Gideon.

Reconnaissance operations have been going on for a long time, but things have been a little different lately.

In response to an earlier incident, Gideon was assigned an armed spy, and a Franklin reconnaissance monster is no longer in the city.

So in recent times, Gideon had reserved himself for handing out scout monsters to the surrounding maps.

Franklin won't have a plan in Gideon anymore, but Gideon also has a man who Franklin identified as his lodging enemy. Surveillance was also necessary to keep track of the movement.

Well, its rival, but occasionally Franklin showed it in the footage as he was streaming and watching the footage sent by the reconnaissance monster.

He opened a capsule of gacha at and put it on after coming up with something about the cursed and likely armor that came out of it, and went straight back to Gideon.

"That outfit..."

A ghost's armor on your right hand.

A deceased's boot on his leg.

The left hand is a pirate hook.

The upper body is cursed armor.

"... than our [Demon General] Excellency. [Demon General]. You look better."

It's a very painful and terrible fashion, but I don't realize it because I'm a vegetarian.

It was always Franklin who realized it wasn't something he could say in white, but I had some thoughts about Ray's outfit on the boulder.

"... didn't you tell him who was on the way?"

Franklin was dropping off the ray in the monitor with his eyes containing some pity.

◇

Now, Franklin's unleashed supreme sentiment, but I want you to think about it.

Around him are his constantly dressed brother, Slime Coat's [Dead Eight], Fantasy but Suited [Shadowed], Brain Muscles with only eyes on performance, Too Long Prosthetic Foot's [Corpse Immortal], and the recently added Mid-Second Sick Gothic Dress Armor [Fallen Heavenly Knight].

The other similarities and stops by, and Tian flushes "So."

I wonder who can say a word to Ray about fashion.

Inside, I thought it would be better to put a scratch in his outfit. The truth of the matter is that I couldn't say anything by omitting myself.

Ray's fashion went dark again without anyone pointing it out to him.
