Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 160
160angry negotiation (2)
There is a strange silence in the air..
If you suddenly start yelling, I think it would be rude to at least ask why.…….
Ever since I shouted, Mr. Yong has just kept his mouth shut and held his weight..
‘Well, it makes people feel embarrassed..’
The silence was starting to feel uncomfortable..
“……Why did you suddenly scream??”
The brown-haired dragon man erases the dragon fear and asks. It's hard to read emotions because they have reptilian eyes, but it seems like pure curiosity..
Yes, you were curious too..
I gave the answer without hesitation.
“I just felt like I wanted to do that. Why is there a problem??”
Barbarian's own cheat key that can be added to every action when you don't want to explain in detail..
Mr. Yong seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then smiled..
“No, there is no problem. As I heard, barbarians are a very interesting race..”
A deep, dignified voice.
Soon he waved his hand in the air..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
A gust of wind blooms and the fog clears away.
The sight beyond was quite different from what I expected..
Because there was no one.
I thought the Yongin tribe was bustling because their eyes were shiny..
When he looked at me asking for an explanation, he looked away as if embarrassed..
“I will tell you in advance. I was against this childish behavior..”
“The opposite??”
“Ah, they say it's easier to negotiate if you're discouraged at the first meeting.?”
To put it simply, the eye light was all an illusion..
In fact, if you had thought about it calmly, you could have noticed it in advance. The thing I asked Krovitz the most about was ‘maintaining confidentiality’.…….
The Yongin people are a race with extremely small numbers..
Common sense tells us that there is no way dozens of people can gather in one place just to name me..
“Anyway, I feel sorry for you. Tsk, what are you doing just to waste a few pennies? I told you that you shouldn't forget your duty and behave like that to your benefactor..”
The voice was still deep, but the way he spoke and the atmosphere he gave became lighter than before..
Was it just acting earlier and is this what you see??
I think we'll be able to communicate quite well if it's done this way..
Still, let's not let down our guard. Even this could be an act.
“Let’s check first. I am Bjorn, son of Yandel. Are you the chief of the dragon people??”
“Because he’s the chief… … . First of all, if you put it your way, it would be like that. Although it has not been long since he took over the position,.”
“It hasn't been long?”
I tilted my head without realizing it..
I heard that it was over 30 years ago that the Dragon Slayer was cursed after killing the Ancient Dragon.…….
“Isn’t time the responsibility of those who accept it?.”
Ah, there was a setting that the Yongin tribe had a long lifespan..
In fact, it wasn't meaningful information in the game, so I forgot about it for a while..
Anyway, it's not important, so let's get to the point..
“chieftain.”
“Feel free to call me Pyrcea Raidormus..”
Is it possible to sing that comfortably??
As I was thinking about how to react, Mr. Yong chuckled and revealed his pseudonym..
“It was a joke. Just call me ‘Rapir’. This is my second name publicly..”
For reference, the second name is Yongin’s own culture..
Since my real name was so long, I needed a second name for convenience in order to live in the city..
‘Regal Vagos’ is probably also a much longer real name..
‘Huh, I'm glad though.’
I breathed a silent sigh of relief..
First of all, isn’t it a public place?.
It would have been very annoying if I had asked to be called by my long real name..
“Lafir. If it's too long for you, call it Yandel or Bjorn, whichever is easier to pronounce..”
“I like the sound of Yandel more..”
Anyway, now the statement is over..
Just as I was about to open my mouth to say something, Mr. Yong spoke first..
“Before we start talking, can I take a look at the dragon sword first? I heard the whole story through Leatlas, but I still don't quite believe it..”
For some reason, I smiled bitterly as soon as I heard it..
Although it was said a little softly, the content was actually very explicit..
‘I can't believe it to your face…….’
Well, it's not like I can't understand how you feel..
Isn't he a member of Orculis and a major criminal with a bounty worth hundreds of millions of stones? As an explorer on the 4th floor, it must have been difficult to understand the explanation that I beat him up and took his sword..
Puuk!
There was no reason to explain in detail, so I took out the dragon slayer sword from my backpack and slammed it on the floor..
‘Oh, it stings..’
3I've only held it for about a second, but the skin has already peeled off..
Soon, Uncle Yong came down from the throne, pulled out his sword, and held it..
And he quietly whispered.
“It was true.”
In that single word, complex emotions were conveyed through my skin..
Should I say that it looks quite solemn and lonely??
If you think about the story behind this sword, your appreciation will be special..
Mr. Yong, who had been standing still holding his sword for a while, put it back and asked a question..
“……How was that guy? Didn’t you meet that guy most recently? I'd like to hear a little more detail..”
I summarized what happened that day, leaving out only the parts that could be disadvantageous..
“Right. That guy ended up going that far... … . Thanks for telling me. As you requested, I will keep the story about the return of the dragon sword a secret..”
“Were you close with him??”
Mr. Yong smiled bitterly at my question..
“That guy... … He's my younger brother.”
“what?”
“so… … I couldn't stop it with my own strength.”
I wanted to talk more and get more information about the dragon slayer, but Mr. Dragon changed the topic as it was not a topic he wanted to mention..
“Come to think of it, I haven't said this yet. Bjorn, son of Yandel. Thank you for returning this sword. Apart from the reward you ask for, we will consider you a benefactor..”
I could tell from the look in his eyes that he wasn't just saying empty words..
Well, it's confusing because it's a reptile-specific eye, but anyway..
It's quite an embarrassing situation for me, who made this decision with only compensation in mind.…….
‘There’s no need to refuse if you offer to treat me like a benefactor..’
Then, I will ask you later about the specific benefits of being treated as a benefactor..
I focused on the current story.
“So, what do you wish for??”
In fact, this is the core of this meeting..
I've been thinking a lot about this.
6What do you ask for when you return the dragon sword, which is a weapon made from stage materials and has a similar meaning to a holy relic to the dragons?.
“what can i give?”
I thought I would ask first.
I thought there might be a suggestion that might change my mind. Mr. Yong opened his mouth without hesitation, wondering how many preparations he had made..
“The first is wealth.”
money.
not bad.
Because it was one of the three remaining candidates before making the final decision..
5Considering that all level weapons start at hundreds of millions, the reward will most likely be enough to cover one's entire body with high-level equipment..
but…….
“no need for money.”
Mr. Yong made a strange expression in response..
I guess he didn't expect me to turn down this offer..
“Hmm, maybe it's because you don't know how much it is.—”
“Again, it's not money I want.”
It doesn't matter what the amount is.
It won't be more expensive than the Dragon Sword anyway..
Better get something else.
Perhaps sensing my will, Mr. Yong said nothing more and brought out the next compensation plan..
“The second is a colleague..”
“colleague?”
“I heard from Lord Krovitz that you are forming a new team..”
“Just the main point.”
“I'll give you one of my clan members for two years..”
It was truly an unexpected reward..
I'll give you a companion as a reward.?
I think this is a race that knows its own value very well..
‘It's definitely appealing..’
As you can see just by looking at the battle with the dragon slayer,.
Dragon Eavesdrop makes possible what no wizard or priest can do..
In addition, the dragon race's basic stats are high, making it suitable for close combat, and some special people can use magic that only humans can do..
However, this time too, my answer remained the same..
“All of my colleagues have already been saved..”
As expected, I am reluctant to accept compensation for a colleague who will leave after two years. 'Cause the last thing I want is a united team.
“It's a very pretty child..”
Um, so what??
As I stared at him with that feeling, Mr. Yong humbly cleared his throat and opened his mouth again..
“……So now this is my final offer..”
“tell me.”
“I'll give you an Arcje weapon that will be born next year..”
Okay, this is the last one..
It was what I expected.
Accra is a common name when it comes to metal, because the relationship between the two is so close..
Only Yongin can handle Arc..
‘The idea was that one could be made every year through a ritual..’
In that sense, this compensation was actually the most reasonable. Give an Arc-made long sword that cannot be used and receive an Arc-made weapon that can be used..
It is a business where no one loses money..
but…….
‘If that were the case, I would have just taken money..’
This time too my answer was the same.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea either..”
Uncle Yong must have kept his mouth shut, perhaps not knowing that this offer would also be rejected. I feel like I have no idea what to suggest now.…….
Therefore, I decided to speak first..
“That's enough, just get me a tattoo..”
Words spat out as if it was no big deal.
“Tattoo?”
Mr. Yong tilts his head, his pupils widening horizontally..
It seems he realized what he meant belatedly..
“Are you talking about the dragon's blessing??”
Yeah, that one.
When I nodded, Mr. Yong’s eyes changed in an instant..
“Yandel, where on earth did you hear that??”
Huh, it's real from now on.
***
Dragon's Blessing.
Along with Yongeon, it is the very thing that elevates the Yongin people to the rank of scammers..
“The elders were right. You guys are too greedy.”
Mr. Yong erased the smile from his face..
And the dragon fear that was deactivated earlier was unleashed again..
“I should have done this a long time ago.”
The air became so heavy that it was difficult to breathe..
Is this really a serious mode??
Was it true that I was against childish behavior? The intensity is different from before..
but…….
‘It's not to the point where I can't stand it..’
This time it's the same as before.
It's scary enough to make me tremble?
So what should I do?.
As long as the ancestor spirit is with him, the barbarian will not lose in a battle of battle..
“Behel—laaaaa!!!!”
As I let out a shout raised from the Danjeon and relaxed my stiff neck, Mr. Yong opened his mouth in a daze..
“What is this…….”
“Is there a problem??”
“……Are all barbarians like you??”
Dragon Fear has been taken away before you know it.
Yes, I used serious mode, but it wasn't because I was really annoyed..
“Phew…….”
Mr. Yong released his stern expression and sighed deeply..
“I'll give you a lot of compensation for your Akze armor. how about that?”
Perhaps they thought they were not worthy of the whip, but they were given a new carrot..
For your information, I hate carrots..
“I will refuse.!”
“No, it's because you don't know, but this is German tax for you too. If your people find out, they will be treated as traitors..”
I already received an oracle, so what?.
“So calm down your excitement—”
“Lafir! Aren't you a descendant of dragons? Don't be petty and just do it! You say you're a benefactor, but you can't do this? It's really shameful!”
Ignorant ‘Do it!’ at the negotiation table. Mr. Yong is just looking at me blankly, probably because it's his first time being attacked by such a tactic..
I aimed for that timing and pierced the Achilles heel..
“The star goddess said. Regal Vagos and I will meet again. There's a strong relationship going on..”
“……The star goddess? Is that true??”
“I have to become stronger. Don't want to lose another friend to your brother..”
I thought it was a really mean thing to say, but what can I do?.
In negotiation, the one who can use dirty cards without hesitation wins..
If you think about it in the first place, I didn't say anything wrong..
“Lafir, you said earlier that you couldn't stop your brother with your own strength, right? Invest in me. I will do for you what you couldn't do..”
I stopped fussing after that line..
Mr. Yong went into thinking mode again, and the time was quite long..
“……Maybe this is my karma too.”
A muttering that sounds like a sigh.
“Does this mean you will do it??”
“……First, we need to check with the temple to see if the oracle is true. Then I call you again. I can't make this decision on my own..”
If that's the case.
“How long do you think it will take??”
“I don't know. one month? Two months? I will give you an answer as soon as possible..”
“Until then I have this.”
“I know.”
A much cooler acceptance than expected.
Soon I pulled out the dragon slayer sword and put it back in my backpack. And after asking a few questions about how we could contact them again in the future, we concluded today's negotiations..
“It's a message stone. When I send you a message, tear up the paper I gave you. Then I'll know where you are.”
“That's right.”
Soon, Mr. Yong sent me back to the inn room again using a space movement idiom..
‘……After all, all sayings are a lie..’
With those thoughts in mind, I took off my gear and lay down on the bed to rest for a while..
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door..
It meant a visit from a stranger..
If it were Misha, it would have just opened the door, and if it was Ainar, there would have been a 'bang bang' sound instead of a 'knock knock knock' sound..
“nice to meet you.”
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a familiar female face..
“Julianne Urban?”
Common name: District Head's Daughter.
A true traitor who wants his father's downfall for his own free life..
“So have you changed your mind??”
“What do you mean??”
“When I checked, I heard that the team was disbanded. The wizard also died. Rotmiller, he didn't do anything.?”
Ah, that's why you came back again without getting tired..
Sure, it might look that way from the outside..
“It's not that wizard, it's Riolb Dwalki. And, it's true that your father played a trick, but Rotmiller didn't fall for it..”
First of all, I just got the facts straight..
However, after doing so, I realized that this problem also needs to be resolved gradually..
Even if he tries his trick again, I don't think Mr. Bear or Raven will fall for it.…….
If we leave it like this, it will turn into a more troublesome problem..
‘Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess I'll just do it right away..’
“where is your father now?”
“Uh, I don't know. You're probably at the main branch in District 7 at this time.?”
After receiving only the necessary information from Lady Urban, I issued an order to banish the guests..
“You go back now. And don't come back again. I don't want to get caught up in your family's circumstances..”
“yes? what does that mean…….”
“It's literally.”
When he first came to see me, I thought he had bad feelings towards me because of the prison escape..
But when I thought about it, the timing was unfortunate..
This must have been the reason why the regional manager suddenly became hostile towards me for the first time in a few months..
“I told you that back then too. We have similar interests.?”
“Okay, get out..”
After forcing the Lady Urbane out, I put back on the equipment I had taken off..
It's good.
When I opened the door and went out, I saw Lady Urban standing in front of me..
“Are you going to see your father??”
“okay. We will meet and discuss..”
“But why weapons…….”
I tilted my head..
Why did you leave your weapon behind when you went to argue??
