Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 109
109Angry baby barbarian (2)
“Ugh.”
“Don't move yet. The wound healed less quickly.”
“……Did you save me??”
“Even using the highest quality potion..”
Mr. Bear woke up with a complicated expression..
I'm glad I survived and everything's fine, but I feel like something's a little unclear..
Well, you probably know.
If he died, how much benefit would we have gained?.
[Thanks, that would be 30 million stones.—]
310 million stones.
It may not be an exact amount, but it is roughly the estimate given by Gensia, who has extensive experience in plundering..
Mr. Bear, who was sensitive to the explorers' physiology, quietly recited..
“…You were lucky..”
I also agreed.
How many explorers in this situation would choose to live rather than wait to die?.
“Don't pay for the best potions.”
That's natural.
“How much is it??”
“Well, I guess 5 million stones will do..”
“…The highest quality potion would cost about 1 million stones.?”
“is it? Then I guess I got dumped by the merchants..”
Mr. Bear was dazed for a moment by my sly attitude, but then he burst into laughter..
“Of course, the price of an item will vary depending on the situation..”
As a seasoned level 5 explorer, it appears he understood exactly what I was saying..
“50010,000 stones... … It's a reasonable price.”
“Thank you for thinking so..”
“……You two, what the hell are you talking about??”
you stay still.
Because we are talking to adults now..
“But I don't have that much money right now. 5 million stones go back to the city and pay.”
“Hmm.”
“Instead, I'll leave this item with you, and I'd like you to return it after the city pays for it..”
Soon, Mr. Bear took out a skull-shaped bracelet and handed it to me..
“It is a number item. I just used it once, but it's still worth well over 5 million stones..”
Afterwards, Mr. Bear briefly explained the item, but even without that, I already knew what it was..
No. 7611 'The Corpse Mancer's Deception’.
When the wearer receives fatal damage, he or she goes into a state of suspended animation and becomes immune to damage for a certain period of time..
Please note that it breaks after being used 3 times..
‘I wondered how he was alive and it was because of this..’
I asked him if he could just give me this instead of 5 million stones, but Mr. Bear drew the line and said he was just leaving it as collateral and would give me money later..
“Don't even think about getting away with it. Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
What, how did you know?.
When I was shocked, Mr. Bear laughed..
“I've heard of barbarians who travel with the Myoin people. That girl also said your real name several times.. ”
“Oh well, I did that too?”
“Don't worry. I understand the feeling of not wanting to be the center of attention. I won't go anywhere and talk..”
I'm glad that's the case.
I don't know about anything else, but if a dwarf or a dwarf finds out, things get a little more troublesome..
Because I received a request, I escaped..
“So what happened? He said, “Is that bitch dead?” The two guardians were defeated together.?”
Mr. Bear, who came back from the dead, first finished calculating the price of his life and then asked about the next situation..
There were too many parts to explain in detail, so I just nodded. Fortunately, Mr. Bear, who knew the manners of an explorer, did not inquire too deeply..
“Bjorn, son of Little Balkan Yandel. I thought it was an exaggerated story, but after seeing what happened today, it seems that wasn't really the case..”
Even so, Zencia was surprised that the two guardians were dealt with together..
Anyway, after returning to the city, we decided on a place and time to meet, and distributed the magic stones for the man, and all of his injuries healed..
“Yandel's son Bjorn, and Misha Karlstein. Thank you for saving my life. I won't forget today's grace.”
After saying those words, the man escaped the crack through the Holadang portal..
He was such a cool guy until the end..

After Mr. Bear left, I took a moment to look into ‘The Corpse Master’s Deception’..
3Two of the gems shone brightly..
That means there are only 2 uses left..
‘Let’s just wear this and give it back..’
Just in case, I put it on my wrist..
I remembered Mr. Bear's words that I had to keep it and return it.…….
‘Well, just use it well and return it..’
Anyway, I put this issue aside and took some time to think..
‘50010,000 stones…….’
I got a decent reward in exchange for a top-quality potion. Well, considering 30 million stones, I guess I'll have to start over..
‘I've really become a barbarian too..’
To be honest, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little greedy..
That's right, you don't even have to do anything yourself..
Is Mr. Bear a good person or a bad person?.
If I had just waited patiently, I could have raised my spirit imprint to level 6 in one go and earned a large amount of money..
but…….
I poured the potion on his wounds..
Letting people die for money when there is a way to save them was not due to philosophical concerns about how it differs from looters..
It's just that I didn't do it because of Missha..
“……Why, why are you looking at me like that? Suddenly I feel anxious again.”
“It is nothing.”
Anyway, my level of ethics is as corrupt as it gets..
I decided it wasn't something I should do while my future colleague was next to me..
However, after everything is over, this is what I think..
‘What would it be like if I were alone?.’
It is not simply about enjoying wealth and fame..
In this world, money is power and life..
If there was no Missha, what choice would I have made in the face of such great temptation??
‘……It's not a problem that needs to be worried about already..’
Whether you want it or not, as you continue to be an explorer, there will come a moment when you will find out..
So, I stopped thinking about it and packed my bags..
“huh? We're not going out?”
Where are you going?.
I have two things to take care of..
I took Misha along the ice passage..
A passage that was originally blocked, but was revealed earlier when the tyrant Tarunvas appeared..
If you move along this passage, you can move to the second chapter that was before..
“and… How on earth do you know this? Information about cracks is very expensive..”
“It's thanks to Ragna.”
“Ah, uhm... The woman…….”
When Ragnar made an excuse about the secret library he had opened, Misha thought he would do the same and moved on..
Maybe it's because he doesn't usually read books, but he tends to believe it when he says he saw it in a book..
Kwaang-!
After arriving at the second chapter, go up the stairs in reverse and smash the third pillar from the top..
An item that I overlooked while observing the mafia and increases cold resistance only once when taken..
「The character has taken a ‘magical ice cube’.」
「Permanently increases your Cold Resistance by +3.」
Misha, I ate it because my cold tolerance was sufficient..
Well, I'm thinking of giving the next one to him..
After passing the first chapter, we came out of the glacier cave. Then we passed the frozen lake and headed to the starting point..
Kwaang-!
Small pond near the starting point.
After breaking it with a mace, he dived into the ice water and took out a red ice ball..
“Come on, eat..”
“The first thing to do is to tell you what it is?”
Would I feed you something bad??
Still, once I explained it briefly, Misha erased his anxiety and chewed and swallowed it.
「Misha Karlstein took ‘ice tablets’.」
「Permanently increases your cold sensitivity by +3.」
In fact, ‘ice crystals’ are the signature of a glacier cave..
It increases sensitivity and can be eaten up to three times, so when cultivating the Freeze Tree, I always came from the Glacier Cave in the beginning..
‘Next time it cools down, I'll have to come here from here..’
It was quite chilly after diving, so we lit a bonfire and dried ourselves off..
I put back on the clothes I had already taken off and folded..
“Well then that's it.”
“Oh, are you finally leaving??”
what.
I took the blanket out of my bag..
“……Why are you putting down a blanket??”
“I guess I didn't get much sleep last night because I had to stay on watch. Let's take a break.”
In fact, there is no place in this labyrinth that is as safe as the cleared crack..
Although it's a little cold…….
There's no better place than this to get a good night's sleep..
“Don't worry. There's no one here but us.”
“……Yeah, that's right. Then, let's take a break for a while.?”
“okay. It’s cold, so come here. Let's just cover it together.”
“…Is that so??”
A cold wind passes by the bridge of my nose.
the warmth of a bonfire.
It was night time, and the dark blue Milky Way stretched and twinkled above the sky..
And in that.
“Bjorn… Just?”
Drurr.!
“Come on, let’s sleep.?”
We closed our eyes for a moment.

「1You have entered the Crystal Cave..」
***
5Class Explorer, Avman Urikfried.
He opened his eyes in the crystal cave and let out a long breath..
Only then did it start to feel real..
‘……You came back alive.’
Due to an incident, I left the team I had been in for a long time and have been working alone ever since..
And then I went through many crises..
Well, this labyrinth was not an easy place to wander around alone..
But it's never been as dangerous as this time.
Should I say that I literally went to the threshold of the underworld and barely came back alive??
‘……I got lucky.’
I feel it over and over again, but I was lucky..
Anyway, I met a crazy bitch who came into the crack from the beginning, hiding his identity for the purpose of plunder..
There was an explorer on the team who was good enough to save someone who had no connection whatsoever..
And he also had a top-quality potion..
What are the chances of that happening??
‘When I get back, I guess I should at least make an offering to the temple..’
No matter how many times I think about it, it was truly a miracle..
After enjoying the lingering feeling of survival for a moment, he changed the topic in his mind..
‘By the way, this is Bjorn, Yandel’s son.…….’
Little Vulcan, Bjorn, son of Yandel.
I heard that name again and again in the city.
Of course, I didn't think much of it at the time..
It's just that someone unique has appeared.?
5To him, a level explorer, being an explorer with a tinnitus was nothing particularly unfamiliar..
but…….
‘I mean, he's a fun guy..’
He was different from the average barbarian..
Although he may appear ignorant, he was skilled, quick-witted, and good at negotiating..
If I had to express it, it was similar to a barbarian who continued his life as an explorer for a long time..
Pure but never innocent.
So, you could have noticed it..
The dark intentions of that woman that he didn't even know about.
‘3I got this name in just a few months and now I already have this level of skill... … I'm sure it'll be big.’
I didn't have any ill feelings towards him at all..
No, on the contrary, I only felt grateful..
It is said that chasing money is the destiny of explorers, but how many people were devoured by money?.
He was asked for 5 million stones for treatment expenses.?
Just by not taking off all of the equipment, it could be seen that he was upholding his duty as an explorer..
Well, the act seems even more special because there are many people who have forgotten that duty..
‘Well, I guess that's why she follows it..’
Abman thought of a Myoin girl who seemed to be a barbarian's colleague. The barbarian gave her the essence of her Yeti and her guardian for nothing in return..
‘That girl is so lucky too..’
It must be a blessing to have a colleague like this..
Huh, if his former teammates were half as old as he was, he wouldn't have had to go around alone like this.—
‘No, wait a minute.…….’
At first it was just a fleeting thought..
But his expression changed and he seriously considered it..
‘Surely a guy like this might not be bad.’
After going through this incident, I was already feeling skeptical about going alone..
‘……Actually, I can't go alone forever. It looks like there are still only two people over there..’
Soon Abman made a decision..
The various clans and regular teams that have been trying to recruit him will be disappointed if they find out.…….
Something to know.
‘Next time I see you in the city, I'll have to talk to you..’
He really liked this barbarian..
