Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 172
172fire burning (4)
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
An orb of fire that emits light after user registration.
But after that, no matter what I did, there was no response..
Therefore, Raven, who was fiddling around, also raised the white flag..
“This… … I guess I'll have to go back to the city and entrust the request to a special appraiser..”
“Are you taking this??”
“yes? what does that mean?”
No, that's it…….
I told you honestly that this is what happened..
“In fact, I thought you could say that you should take that book. Saying that it is a book of great historical value or something like that..”
“Well, it's definitely not that I don't have a desire for books..”
Raven accepts easily rather than getting angry..
“But the person who wrote the diary also said it, right? Please take this and use it. It's definitely something more valuable than a diary. Moreover, I have already memorized the contents of the diary in my head. I also left a video record just in case..”
“uh… … . Right?”
“yes. So don't worry about that part..”
Soon Raven used 'distortion' magic on the fire orb..
This means that even if the belongings are discovered, they cannot be redeemed..
‘It would be much more natural to use this after returning to the city..’
I think that would be better too.
i didn't know anything.
So, this was completely an accident..
Although my conscience is pricked a little…….
‘It wasn't something I originally bought for myself..’
The Fire Orb is an item for the entire team..
Therefore, everyone can enjoy the benefits together..
Yes, until you leave our team..
“……There doesn't seem to be anything special about it..”
Afterwards, I searched every corner of the house for about 30 more minutes, but there was no significant result..
I thought there might be some elements that didn't appear in the game, like the diary..
“Well then, what should we do??”
“What obvious things are you saying? Gotta keep on hunting.”
“……I thought so.”
As explorers who are obsessed with money, we spent our spare time hunting monsters..
And how long has it been.
「The character moves to Lapdonia.」
The time for return has come.
***
Seeing sunlight for the first time in a month.
After enjoying the warmth for a while as if photosynthesizing, I moved on..
6Checkpoint for intermediate level explorers and above.
After waiting for a while, everyone gathered together except Mr. Bear..
“Why isn't Uragburak coming??”
Well, I guess you have to ask that.?
Since I was just hunting, I didn't have the energy to answer..
After waiting for a while, Mr. Bear arrived..
Next to me was an unknown explorer..
“Here you go.”
“Ah, thank you. Thanks to you it was easy to find.”
“Hehe, thanks to you, I'm having a strange experience..”
The explorer coolly heads to where his team is with an admiration that is not admiration..
Mr. Bear smiled awkwardly and came between us..
“Haha, the line is pretty long.?”
Of course, I was late because of you..
I sighed when I saw it, but I didn't say anything..
First of all, am I not the leader of this team?.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
We must try to embrace even our shortcomings..
I also developed some immunity in Team Banpuni..
‘Because he’s a man who finds fighting one of the most disgusting things..’
Anyway, as we all waited in line, Misha chatted with Mr. Bear..
“Since we're all doing this together, I feel like I've really achieved success..”
“Hehe, that could be possible. Team grades are recognized starting from grade 6 or higher..”
“Yep. Should I say that I really feel like a proper explorer now? This is so strange.…….”
Actually, that's what I was feeling too..
In the past, you had to meet outside through checkpoints appropriate for each grade..
Anyway, as it was only for level 6, the line disappeared quickly..
Although the number of people passing through this road is much lower than that of the level 9 checkpoint, the number of people in charge is more than twice that..
Even the checkpoint is in the form of a room, so privacy is maintained..
“Team Apple Narak... … Is that correct?”
Administrative staff checking our team registration card and managing facial expressions.
After going through some simple administrative procedures, we handed over the bundle of gemstones we had collected..
About seven.
Everything is heavy.
“……!”
The employee's eyes widened as he opened the entire bag and saw that it was full of magic stones..
Of course, that time was short.
Suddenly, thinly curved, meaningful eyes.
I feel like I'm going to get PTSD because I'm reminded of the past day when I was taken to the guild prison.…….
It was handled by conversationist Raven Sun..
“These are all magic stones obtained by legitimately killing monsters. There is also a video record to prove this. Well, if you confirm, we will have to give you appropriate compensation for disclosing our performance..”
“As long as it’s not necessary… … I don't think there will be.”
“Then, can you please exchange the money for me??”
Maybe it's because he's tired, or because the employee's eyes were disapproving, but his tone has become harsher than usual..
Did I feel something cheap??
The staff moved quickly and the currency exchange was completed quickly..
“2,519It's 10,000 stones.”
In fact, the amount is similar to that of a clan..
If divided between five people, it is a whopping 5 million stones..
If you earn like this every month, your annual salary will be a whopping 60 million stone.!
‘It’s like a burning zone after all..’
Even if you kill dozens of monsters per battle, it would have been impossible to earn this much without the Magic Stone double event..
“her…….”
A sound of air coming out of my mouth came out of my mouth..
It was such a strange feeling..
It seems like just yesterday that I exchanged 180,000 stone for my first entry and was looked up to by my classmates..
“Well, then how many pieces of cotton candy are there??”
“uh… … . Even if you eat 10 every day, you will never run out of food for the rest of your life.?”
It is very encouraging in that it is not a looter's equipment or anything like that, but pure magic stone income..
Well, it might be difficult to earn like this every time..
‘Because I found it very early this time..’
Black moss was discovered earlier than expected..
Moreover, without having to wait long, Mila Rodden appeared..
Moreover, even the distortion magic was successful at once..
It would be difficult to expect the next expedition to go as well as this..
“……You will settle your account tomorrow.?”
As soon as we left the checkpoint, Raven asked:.
Looking at the look in his eyes, I knew he was asking with an answer already decided..
“Let’s just say we’ll do it the day after tomorrow..”
I didn't plan on doing it today anyway..
Not only did he hunt with limited sleep, but on the last day, he stayed up until 12 o'clock..
Considering that my camping routine is between 9 and 10 p.m., I've already exceeded my bedtime..
“The day after tomorrow?”
“Yes, we also need to sell equipment and by-products..”
“Ah, that… … . Is it possible for Mr. Yandel to sell it for me? I really, really don't think I can wake up tomorrow..”
“Since I have an appraiser's license, I can leave this part to you.?”
Raven pursed her lips..
I guess I never dreamed that the words I boasted about before would come back like a boomerang.…….
“I'm not sure if it's just the equipment, but isn't there some magic material involved? This is something only you, a wizard, can do..”
“……Then, Mr. Yandel, let’s go together. Even a barbarian can carry luggage.?”
The porter is a mess.
It was an absurd thing to say about carrying around a subspace ring.…….
I just said yes.
Because I was secretly curious about the wizard’s sales route..
“Then we'll see what happens then..”
After simply setting an appointment time, we each split up and headed to our accommodations..
“Ha-am, I’ll go first..”
Raven is a magic tower with a personal laboratory..
“Abman, I think we can find it properly.?”
“Don't worry. I know the way home from the checkpoint well..”
“Well, I'm still going home.?”
Mr. Bear goes to a bar where his wife is waiting..
“Now, we too.”
“Misha, can’t I eat something before that? You're so hungry…….”
“Let's eat together first after washing up..”
“Ugh, I'll see if I can hold out..”
We go to the nest where we stay.
***
1pm the next day.
While Misha and Einar stayed up late at the dorm, I prepared to go out..
Because I had to go sell loot with Raven..
[Oh, then leave my equipment at the repair shop..]
[……Can I ask you a favor too??]
For reference, I also packed two people’s equipment in my backpack..
I was a little disappointed that no one wanted to follow me.…….
Yes, because I’m the team leader..
Is it right to suffer this much for the team?.
“1I'm a minute late.”
“Should I at least pay a late fee??”
“I look like a beggar?”
Why is he so picky again??
‘Oh, it's because I can't sleep any more..’
I decided to understand with broad generosity..
He's not the team leader, and he was taken out just because he was a wizard, so he's bound to be dissatisfied..
‘Do you like sweets? I'll have to try eating one later..’
Recalling the life skills I learned from my ex-girlfriend, we boarded the carriage heading to Commelby..
There was no conversation during the trip..
We both fainted and fell asleep..
“Haam, I slept well.…….”
When I woke up, the carriage had arrived.
Since we didn't meet early in the morning, we moved a little hastily..
Ah, first, put something sweet in your mouth..
“Ugh, the sweet stuff is a shame.…….”
“Focus your eyes first and say?”
“Ah, hurt pride.”
Anyway, today's schedule was simple..
Sell Mila Roden's by-products to the magic shop..
Stop by the blacksmith shop to repair the weapon and finish off the Masked Man's equipment..
Expansion backpack and Ifrit essence are registered on the exchange..
And while stopping by the exchange, a special appraiser was called in and the appraiser even completed the appraisal of the Orb of Fire..
“This… … You got something valuable. I heard that even among the large clans, there are very few of them..”
“so what is this?
“It is an orb of fire. It is a magic tool that consumes soul power when activated, but reduces fire damage within a 15m radius..”
“What are the activation conditions??”
“There are starter words. I'll write it down here so you don't forget it..”
For reference, the special appraisal cost is a whopping 300,000 stones..
As soon as I heard it, my stomach started to hurt..
Really, these guys just sit around and collect money..
“So what is the appraised value??”
“Oh, I didn't mention that. The Fire Orb can only be used by those who first acquired it..”
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
Raven's gaze shifted to me..
But what should I do now?.
It was an accident, it was an accident.
“Phew…….”
A sigh that seems to contain many emotions.
I finished my business and was about to leave when the appraiser made a suggestion..
“Oh, can you tell me where to get it??”
“no. I have no intention of sharing our achievements..”
“Please come back if you change your mind. Even in the clan that obtained the Fire Orb, everyone kept their mouths shut. I will pay a reasonable price.”
“Yes I will.”
As soon as I left the exchange, today's schedule was over..
Perhaps because we followed a systematic route, there was quite a bit of time left until the last train ran out..
We had a quick meal near the platform..
“Raven, I'll tell you up front, I didn't know about this..”
“Who said anything? Well, you know I'll tell you to compensate with money.?”
Uh, no……?
Of course I thought that would come out.
“That's Okay. The appraiser also said this earlier, right? It is a magic tool that is used as a public asset rather than a personal item..”
“Yes, I will only use it for the team..”
The problem I was worried about was resolved easily..
Therefore, I also ate comfortably and asked what I was curious about..
“But why did you reject that offer earlier??”
“I want you to tell me where to get it.?”
“Yeah, just from what you say, it looks like you'll be generously taking care of it..”
“It's plenty. If you tell us, how many times more will you benefit from this than the money you gave us? I can't accept that either..”
Well, I guess it's the same everywhere where distributors suck.…….
“Above all, if the source of the book is revealed, the number of people who know about the book will increase, right? That's not possible. Later, I will dig deep and completely turn the world of academia upside down..”
Now I see there was a real reason..
What kind of reputation is that guy?.
It's a motivation that is difficult to empathize with, but each person's pursuit is bound to be different..
“Anyway, please take good care of me in the future..”
“suddenly?”
“For some reason, it seems like an ancient secret related to witches is hidden in the labyrinth. I decided to look for it..”
“Umm, so……?”
“So what are you doing? I'm going to keep trying to be an explorer. Next to Mr. Yandel.”
No, I still don’t know why they put so much emphasis on my side.…….
Raven grinned as I stared at her..
“I felt it during Bloody Citadel, but Mr. Yandel was born in this way. Should I say that I have a feeling that I will often experience unusual things like this in the future??”
They say that if you're next to me, you'll often experience strange things.…….
I ended up laughing without even realizing it..
“You can trust me. A wizard's intuition is better than you might think..”
The performance is solid.
That wizard's intuition.
