Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 150

150Fire Barbarian Lord (2)

Rotmiller is different from Misha and the dwarf..

As an explorer, he is attentive and quick-witted, and he is strong in many ways, starting from the bottom..

Tsk, I didn't know you'd ask this so bluntly..

‘……It's my karma so I'll have to deal with it.’

There is only one option that immediately comes to mind..

Acknowledging that you are an evil spirit and appealing to your emotions is nonsense, so the only thing you can do is get angry and smash your head for being insulted..

but…….

‘No matter how much I think about it, it's strange..’

Judgment is not simply clouded by emotions..

I know Lotmiller well. If I really thought I was an evil spirit, I wouldn't be having this conversation..

If I were to be honest, I'm like a herbivore..

Simply put, this means that Rottmiller is not confident in his words either..

Besides, I don't feel any malice for some reason..

I quickly decided on a position..

‘Of course, it would be best to just wait and see how the situation unfolds..’

Of course, I have no intention of making excuses and begging you to believe me..

That's not the way of a manly barbarian.

After breaking the silence for about 3 seconds, I coldly opened my mouth..

“Rotmiller, I hope you have some other reason for insulting me..”

Since you are my precious colleague, I am saying that you will tolerate me once and ask me why..

Actually, if you think about it, it wasn't even a lie..

If it weren't for Rotmiller, my fist would have been flying towards my head a long time ago..

However, this guy just chuckled..

“He probably thought he was genuinely angry. Before I knew you well.”

“what?”

“Oaths, honor, etc. Aren't you a person who is bound by ostentation and pretense? He is not patient enough to be swayed by his emotions..”

Rotmiller knew me too well to push me into acting. The warrior's oath, which was like a cheat, won't work either..

Therefore, I also changed my position a little bit..

“……I feel bad when I hear things like that from my colleagues..”

“Well, I guess so..”

Rotmiller shrugged and drank the remaining drink..

The atmosphere is much more relaxed than before..

“But you are so special.”

Rotmiller continued:.

barbarian reading a book.

A barbarian who is not buried in emotions.

A practical barbarian who values ​​other things more than honor. Most of them were points that could be glossed over by saying they were exceptional..

If you leave out the last one.

1A barbarian who knows information that a warrior less than a year old could never know..

“Then, in the maze, you said you had a revelation..”

After returning to the Celestial Tower, I told my doubting colleagues that I had heard a revelation from the ancestral god Behela..

First of all, isn’t this a world where God exists?.

Misha and the dwarf thought it was just like that..

Rotmiller, who was worried, didn't say anything, so I thought it went well at the time..

but…….

“Who would believe you if you said something like that? I couldn't believe it either. That's why I thought you might be an evil spirit..”

Yeah, I've been thinking like this ever since..

Well, if you assume I'm an evil spirit, everything will be explained..

That was the truth in the first place.

But the situation was very positive.

“That's how it was, doesn't it mean it's not now??”

Rottmiller nodded without hesitation to my question and continued..

“In the book I read, evil spirits are described as beings who treat everyone in the world like puppets. But you weren't like that..”

Although he placed a low value on honor, he cared enough for his fellow countrymen to advise and lead younger warriors..

I felt a sense of loss and anger at the death of my colleague..

An act that an ordinary evil spirit would never do.

Without making excuses, the path I have walked has become a shield that protects me..

Well, I think it was something else that completely removed Rottmiller's suspicions..

“Besides, didn't the Star Goddess give you an oracle? She saw it with her own eyes, so how could she doubt it?.”

An oracle given by the star goddess Leatlas.

I was grumpy because the vines broke off in one day, but this was truly a godsend..

“Thanks to you, I realized how narrow-minded I was. The reason I thought you were an evil spirit was because I saw you through the eyes of a criminal..”

No, I saw it right there.…….

I suppressed my wriggling conscience and listened to Rotmiller..

“There are definitely people in this world who are especially loved by the gods. And history called them heroes.”

“……it's too much.”

“Hehe, I knew you would say that. Because we tend to underestimate ourselves. But at least I sincerely think so..”

I was speechless due to the sudden barrage of compliments from Rottmiller..

Isn’t it funny to admit that?.

I put aside my shyness and asked the last thing I was curious about..

“But then why did you say that??”

Rotmiller doesn't think I'm an evil spirit..

It may have been like that before, but it is like that now..

Why did Kang Soo throw a fastball and ask if he was an evil spirit??

The answer was completely unexpected.

“I wanted to give you some warning and advice..”

“warning and advice?”

“Yes, you are wise, but you are also immature in this area. No matter how much you trust your colleagues, you still need to hide yourself..”

“I don't know what it means.”

“Aren’t you going to form a new team? Your specialness will inevitably stick out like an awl in your pocket. Maybe there will be someone who judges you like me..”

Rotmiller said.

Unless you can talk about the trust, keep yourself as secret as possible..

This will prevent any unexpected misfortune..

“As someone who has lived an ordinary life, I really wanted to tell you this..”

“……Right. thanks. I will always keep the advice you gave me in my heart..”

“Hmm, it just so happened that I spoke for a long time. Let's end this place. I will carry Murad.”

That's how Team Banpoon's last drinking party ended..

Unlike usual, we parted ways without making any promises about our next appointment..

“I hope the path you walk is filled with light..”

Team Banpuni.

I am receiving so much from here..

***

The conversation with Rottmiller was informative..

It wasn't the advice he gave, but the situation itself that alerted me..

Although it went well this time…….

‘It could happen again at any time..’

There is no guarantee that it will be like this again next time..

So I thought about it.

If my colleagues, or even the person I am attached to, are convinced that I am an evil spirit,.

If you even have the evidence…….

what should i do then.

“…….”

I didn't say the correct answer..

Because that won't change anything.

I will try to survive even if I become a terrible person..

‘……I guess I should be more careful..’

In order to prevent that tragedy, I decided to be careful with my every move..

Like when I first fell into this unfamiliar world.

Let’s calculate and move more thoroughly with the thought that the only one I can trust is myself..

If you really care about them. Because it's the right thing to do.

“Bjorn, what are you thinking??”

“It's no big deal.”

“It's not like I was drunk yesterday and said strange things.……?”

The next morning after Team Banpoon’s last company dinner. I went out with Misha and headed to the main shrine..

There was no need to go together…….

Anyway, I have to stop by Commel B again later..

“See you again. Are you having any worries??”

As soon as I arrived at the temple, I summoned Krovitz..

A young paladin in his early thirties with a questioning expression on his return visit after only two days..

I brought up the business straight away..

“It's not that I'm worried, I have a favor to ask..”

“Please... … . Let's listen first..”

Dragon slayer sword. No, the dragon sword is a valuable treasure, but I decided that having it would be nothing more than trash..

“Let the twilight star guide us. This must be great news for them..”

Did they decide that it was for the public good??

Krovitz readily agreed and said he would arrange a meeting with them..

For me, it was a story for another hour..

In the first place, it was difficult for a level 6 barbarian to meet the leadership of the dragon clan.…….

‘Since we're meeting through a temple, I'm sure they won't try to beat you up or take away the reward..’

“When the time is set, we will send a message to the address you provided..”

“thank you for your concern.”

Okay, then this problem is over..

I left the temple with Misha and got into the carriage heading to Commelby..

And as soon as I got off, I headed to the central exchange..

It was a simple reason.

‘First, I have to upload the spirit imprint first..’

If it becomes known that you received the oracle, there is a possibility that you will be kicked out of the tribe..

So you have to take step 6 before that..

6From this stage, you need not just money, but also materials..

“Are you registered for consignment sales??”

“I came because there was something I was looking for..”

I said that and submitted the previously prepared documents to the staff..

immortal heart.

‘A material that can be obtained with an extremely low probability from troll by-products obtained through 'distortion' magic..

Although it is expensive, it is much more profitable to buy it if you have enough money. Even those who specialize in catching trolls only eat this item once every few months..

“There is a total of 1 item that meets the criteria. Would you like to check the information??”

The search fee is 3,000 stones and the confirmed price is 18 million stones..

Huh, it's up 1 million stone since last time..

“……not buy.”

It was a little disappointing, but I just bought it coolly..

Isn’t this an item that is in such short supply that there is only one on the entire exchange? If this sells out, there is no guarantee when it will be available again..

‘6If the level is this high, you can almost say that you have to get it yourself from step 7 onwards..’

With that in mind, I arrived at the storage unit and checked to see if there were any defects in the item before receiving it..

With this, my purpose for today is over..

Next it was Missha's turn..

“Let’s change your sword this time too..”

“……That's why they brought me here?”

Misha looked at me as if asking why you decided that, but there wasn't much resistance..

it wasn't strange.

He must have been slowly feeling the limits of steel..

“The goal for this new team is to reach the 6th floor, so don't worry about saving money..”

“……If there's something you like.”

Since this is a weapon that Misha will use, we listened to everyone's opinions and found a suitable item..

It took longer than expected.

It was agreed to purchase a longsword made of Iril, a level 3 alloy made of mithril and steel, but choosing a design was a problem..

“Oh, so I'm not saying it's about choosing something pretty.!”

“Yeah, let's do it like that. Anyway, go ahead and make your choice. For your information, I think this looks good..”

“Ah, I guess someone isn't a barbarian. You really think that all you have to do is be heavy.?”

While grumbling, Misha carefully chose his sword..

Are you saying that you need to pay attention to things like the weight distribution and reach of the sword? While talking about that, I was quite surprised at how well he could remember the name of a famous blacksmith shop..

He's an explorer too.

“Wow, the day will come when I will use a sword worth 12 million stones.…….”

“Even if we just removed the enchantment, we would have saved 4 million stones..”

“Still, if you're going to buy it, buy a good one! I will use it for the rest of my life!”

After finishing receiving the items from the storage room, Misha hugged the sword like a baby..

And I muttered like a promise.

“Ugh, I really should save the rest of my money.…….”

I tilted my head..

“Why do you save money? Save only the money you need and use everything left to buy and eat ‘Beast Blood’..”

“……huh?”

If a barbarian has a soul imprint, a beastman has a soul water. The soul tree grows over time, but that time is shortened when you consume ‘beast blood’..

“Didn't I say it clearly earlier? Don't even think about saving money.”

“……You can really just use it like this?”

“It's not just spending, it's an investment for the future..”

Misha also said that it would be better to buy purified water, but I didn't think that was very reasonable. Most essences of grade 5 or higher cost tens of millions of stones..

There is no need to buy anything below that..

“You haven't even unlocked the power of your soul tree yet. I think it's right to focus on that now..”

In the end, thanks to my strong persuasion, Misha used all his remaining assets, excluding his emergency fund, to purchase ‘Blood of the Beast’..

They said they would take it later when they got home.…….

We will find out tomorrow whether any of the powers will be revealed..

“Then let's go back quickly.”

After a few hours of wasting our money, we returned to our living quarters..

It was around 8 p.m..

The day slowly started to set and dusk began to set..

‘The spirit imprint is over once you go to the shrine tomorrow morning and receive it.…….’

I organized one more thing to do until the next labyrinth opens..

Now there were three left.

1. Meet with the dragon people and return the dragon slayer sword..

2. Get information about Orculis and Noark.

3. Build a new team.

Oh, now that I think about it, I didn't ask him about this..

When I thought about it, I asked right away..

“Misha, is there anything you particularly want or want when looking for a colleague??”

First of all, we roughly decided what kind of composition would fill the remaining three positions. But I needed to listen to Misha's words as well..

First of all, not only is he an original member, but…….

Isn’t your career as an explorer much longer than mine?.

Thinking that you may be able to receive advice in areas you never thought of.

“uh…….”

Misha thought seriously and then cautiously opened his mouth..

“that… … Yo, I hope it's not a fairy.”

It was an unexpected request..
