Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 194

194Hwa Bifron (4)

once in the land of the dead.

once under the sewer.

Once Noark was closed and happened to be in front of our inn..

‘If you count until today, a total of four times.’

At this point, it's no use saying it's a tough relationship..

Therefore, it was necessary to gradually change the attitude towards this woman..

“……Aren't you going??”

“Yeah, I changed my mind..”

Isn’t there a saying that knowledge is power?.

In the meantime, I didn't want to get involved, so I just tried to avoid it by not paying attention.…….

[……not a human woman.]

[Amelia Lane Wales.]

Somehow we even knew each other's names..

This means that avoiding it is no longer the solution..

‘Now I have to find out. What on earth is this woman doing?.’

If there is someone who keeps wandering around your house, you should definitely find out who they are..

Is this someone who should be reported to the police and kicked out?.

Or is he a person so scary that he has to run away from home?.

Because you know that, you can respond correctly..

“Zinkassar Peljain!!”

After waiting for a while, the rooftop door burst open..

The one who came in was a gangster wearing a black eyepatch..

It seems like he is the leader of the eastern faction.…….

“How dare you enter our area without warning? I guess you are prepared... … . But you, your head……?”

Pakppakgi, who appeared with great vigor, blurted out his words..

It seems like the sight of Squidward with a jellyfish cut was shocking..

“……Could it be that it was a wig??”

“…….”

Squidward lowered his head without answering anything..

An untimely silence that lasted for a moment.

But was there too much resentment built up against each other to feel the same feelings of sympathy??

The situation that had been paused for a while has resumed..

“Well, do you think that will make me feel sorry for you! As of today, I will end my bad relationship with you.!”

“Fu, fuhahaha! Do you think you can beat me just because you have more numbers than you have ever been to a labyrinth? Me too, a level 6 explorer?”

Pakppaggi declares war and Squidward exudes confidence by smiling exaggeratedly to the point of awkwardness..

If I'm going to point out the facts, it's not even level 6..

He was so weak that when I interrogated him, he confessed that he was actually a level 7..

‘There's no way a guy like that could be this relaxed against dozens of people, and is he so energetic because he trusts me??’

It was somehow funny, but Pakppaggi was serious again..

“Yes, I know you were a level 6 explorer. But that's why we brought in a great person..”

“……?”

“Guys, it's a road.!”

As Pakppakgi spoke, dozens of thugs gathered behind him stepped back to make way, and a woman appeared between them..

Amelia Lane Wales.

8th floor explorer from Noark.

“Barbarian? why are you here…….”

She appeared among the men with an annoyed expression and frowned when she saw me..

I felt like I was slightly rewarded..

I was so surprised when I first saw you.

“This is exactly what I want to ask. why on earth are you here?”

Amelia chewed her words as if organizing her thoughts, and then the guy who was looking at the two of us cautiously opened his mouth..

“……Do you know that barbarian??”

I only trusted this woman, but I guess she was worried that she seemed friendly with me..

“quiet.”

When Amelia muttered briefly, the bastard was shocked and closed his mouth..

And about 3 seconds passed..

“Bjorn Yandel, hand over the guy next to you to me..”

As if she had finished organizing her thoughts, Amelia suddenly made such a request..

Of course, there was no way I would respond to this..

“This guy is my subordinate..”

A barbarian never abandons his men..

……At least if there is no reason for it.

“……boss!!”

When I answered immediately without even thinking, Jingjing looked at me with a touched face..

Amelia, on the other hand, seemed like she didn't understand..

“……Load?”

An expression of confusion as to why I, a rising star in the exploration industry, am here and why I am the leader of a group of gangsters..

I muttered briefly..

“I have a problem too..”

“Right.”

Amelia nodded coolly..

He could have asked what the reason was, but the reason he doesn't is probably because of his personality..

“If so, I will take you by force..”

When negotiations broke down, Amelia immediately took out a dagger and took a fighting stance..

This guy thinks he's a barbarian?

I quickly opened my mouth..

“Wait, let's talk first..”

“talk?”

“okay.”

Things are different from when we met at the inn..

There are no colleagues to help, and Biflon is a lawless zone where power is the law..

Of course, it is right to resolve it through dialogue..

Because I haven’t found the settings to block the aurors yet..

If your body is weak, your head will inevitably suffer..

“It's fascinating. I didn't know you would say that first. Is this really a surprise attack??”

“surprise attack? I don't do such cowardly things..”

He did not hide his feelings of being insulted and revealed it..

While I was talking to him in the sewer, he rushed at me, throwing his mace at me, but there was no reason why I couldn't be confident..

My memories of that time have been erased.

At least from his perspective.

“……That's not even funny.”

A situation where you can’t argue even if you want to..

However, Amelia didn't show any signs of frustration and just moved on..

The body was still preparing for a surprise attack..

Are you now acknowledging me as a worthy opponent??

“Let’s get them bitten first.”

“good night.”

After a brief agreement, I glanced at him, and the gangster was the first to notice and took the gangsters down to the bottom of the building..

Next it was Jingjing’s turn..

“I…….”

“Don't worry. Because I will never abandon you.”

“yes!”

Squidward looked anxious, but trusted me and went down..

Now it's just the two of us left on the rooftop..

So it's time to talk openly.

“Amelia Lane Wales. What are you doing here??”

“Why do I have to answer that??”

“Isn't it funny when adults fight and fight when kids fight?.”

“……You must be twenty years old now?”

Well, let’s talk about trivial things with people who know each other.

There may be a lot of people who whine or are pushy, but in this industry, the stronger one is usually the older brother..

“Anyway, the answer is?”

Amelia thought for a moment and then opened her mouth..

“Speak up first. Why on earth are you on Biflon??”

“I was caught using my special ability in the city. He thought it would end with a fine, but they told him to live here for 20 days. Today is the third day..”

“A subordinate is?”

“That guy was trying to rob me, so I hit him back and took over..”

Amelia chuckled..

“You really do what you want to do.”

It wasn't a sarcastic nuance..

No, rather, I should say it contains a bit of envy.?

“It's your turn. why did you come here?”

A question that has been asked several times already.

Amelia also finally told us the situation, albeit briefly..

“We are looking for an explorer who may be here. So I decided to help them with one task in exchange for their help..”

“Right.”

I vaguely understood the situation..

At first, I wondered why they made a 'deal' with the weak.…….

‘I guess he wanted to handle things quietly. If you do things like me, word will inevitably leak out..’

I think things will turn out easier than you think..

It was the car that made me think like that..

“I'll tell you in advance, I didn't mean to break my promise..”

huh?

When I tilted my head, Amelia continued speaking as if making an excuse..

“me too… … I never thought I'd meet you here.”

Oh, that.

It was a promise never to come to me again..

I never dreamed that I would be concerned about that first in this situation..

‘Do you have some sort of obsession with ‘promises’??

“Don't worry. 'Cause I don't think she broke her promise.”

“is it…….”

I guess I had a basic understanding of the situation, so I got to the point..

“Anyway, I'm glad I did. There is absolutely no reason for us to fight on this issue..”

“Does this mean you are going to give him up??”

“No, there is no need to do that. Don't you need someone to help you? I will lend you my men..”

“I heard that the Western Union has the smallest power here..”

“It's quicker than I thought..”

“It's already been more than ten days since I came here..”

“Right.”

I nodded..

Certainly, as Amelia said, the Western Union is an elite minority..

Although it was too weak to be considered elite,.

At least the eastern guys will be better at finding people..

but…….

“Don't mind the lack of people.”

still no problem.

Rather, I don't understand why he couldn't think of something as simple as this..

The number of subordinates is small?

Why worry about such things?.

“From today, the east is also my area..”

All you have to do is copy it..

***

‘I thought she might be an inflexible woman who values ​​promises, but surprisingly, she was like me in this regard..

Amelia was also a people of efficiency..

“Not a bad method..”

“Does this mean you agree??”

“Before that, start with this. What do you get by helping me?”

“……Please do me a favor later..”

“If so, I will refuse. For some reason, I feel like I'm going to ask you a favor that I can't handle..”

Ugh, this isn't working..

Well, that's it. The important thing is that it wasn't a request..

“Then just count it as service. Because it's better than fighting with you and losing strength..”

Maybe it was an understandable excuse, but then Amelia nodded and agreed to the agreement..

thus…….

“What happened to him??”

“That's okay, it's informal language.”

1I went downstairs and kicked Pakpakgi in the stomach who was having an awkward confrontation with Squidward..

Since ancient times, suppressing the initiative is important for ‘appointment’..

“gagging!”

The guy who got hit in the solar plexus fell to the ground..

“This bastard!!”

From this point on, the eastern guys who were all over the first floor rushed at me..

Sword, hammer, spear, skewer…….

Guys stabbing mercilessly from all directions with the weapons in their hands..

There was no need to stop it..

“No, why is this…….”

Even though the weapons were aimed at exposed skin areas, they were unable to even cut the skin and bounced off..

It was expected.

They came in groups of dozens to catch one Squidward, but do you think they will get caught?.

What is my physical resistance?.

“Is it all over??”

“……no.”

“Behel—laaaaa!!!”

It didn't take a long time.

[The battle ended with instilling fear with [Wild Eruption] and crushing a few people as an example..

Dozens of men do not even dare to run away due to overwhelming force..

I grabbed the guy by the collar and lifted him up..

“what is your name?”

“P, this is Philippe Lager.!”

“From now on, I will call you Pakppak..”

Okay, then the statement is over now..

As I was about to take the next step, the guy asked blankly..

“da, who are you?”

Once the error has been corrected.

“not you.”

“……?”

“I'm your boss.”

“boss……?”

Pakpakgi, who had a confused look in his eyes, looked at Squidward who was hiding in the corner..

Only then did I seem to understand the situation..

Yeah, he got hit like this too..

“I'm here just in time, just give me a bottle of potion..”

“……portion?”

“My subordinate is injured. Shouldn’t I treat him?.”

Amelia glanced at me as if looking at a strange creature, then took out a bottle of potion and handed it to me..

Cheeeeeeeek-

As soon as I gave him the potion, he started screaming and writhing, and after waiting for a while, he came to his senses in a cold sweat..

He still looked like he was dreaming..

I think I've had enough of the stick, it's time to give me the carrot too..

“I am leaving in 17 days..”

“yes?”

“Just like that.”

To put it simply, it means to think that you have stepped on shit and just hold on for a while. Afterwards, I gave instructions to Pakppak and Jingjing to go back and gather all the people..

“Since there are a lot of people, a dimensional plaza would be fine. Will it take about five hours??”

“That's so ridiculous—”

“yes! It's enough!”

Jingjing shouts excitedly, interrupting Pakppaggi’s words..

Should I say that he is like a senior??

Answering ‘YES’ to anything is the greatest virtue of a subordinate..

Especially if your boss is a barbarian..

“Okay then, go ahead and go out..”

As time was running out, the subordinates who received orders quickly ran out to carry out their mission..

I was quite satisfied with the sight..

‘Is this why everyone is so thirsty for power??’

I chuckled and turned my gaze to Amelia. And I deliberately asked as if I was not interested..

“Well then, tell me now. Just need to find someone?”

I've been curious since a while ago.

First of all, he’s from Noark..

There is also the possibility that he is looking for people not of his own volition, but under Noark's instructions..

‘In these times, he is a person who releases people from the underground city and searches for them.…….’

Maybe it could be an important clue.

The more you know about information that others don't know, the more helpful it will be. If the information is irrelevant to me, I can use it to pretend to be present at a round table later..

The judgment that there is nothing to lose either way..

However, contrary to my expectations, Amelia only answered the character's characteristics..

“Appears as an old man, but may be in disguise.”

“It means you can't tell by appearance. Then how to find it?”

“A tattoo on the back. I heard that it's impossible to hide that with any magic..”

Hmm, then I guess I should check the visible feet and back??

“Other features that may be helpful:?”

“does not exist.”

“I don't even know your name?”

“……It's meaningless since I would have used a pseudonym anyway..”

“Still, you never know. Just say it once.”

When I asked, Amelia hesitated for a moment as if she was thinking about it..

But would I have judged that even if I told you, you wouldn’t know??

Soon he recited one person’s name..

“Auril Gavis.”

what?

“My name is Auril Gavis.?!”

“……Do you know him??”

“No, I just pretended to know..”

I gave a vague answer and started managing my facial expressions..

My heart is pounding!

My heart was beating like crazy..

It was natural..

Auril Gavis.?

‘Isn’t this the name of the author of the ‘Total Chronicles’ series and the creator of [Dungeon & Stone]?!
