Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 195
195Hwa Bifron (5)
Auril Gavis. This person is from at least 150 years ago..
The other day, when I asked Raven to specify a year, it turned out that the paper from that time was used in 'Gyunhaerok'..
That's why it's even more surprising.
‘……That bastard is alive?’
I thought for sure he was dead.
Of course, now I don't know why.
[He is the creator of [Dungeons & Stones] and is the author most likely to be the culprit who sent countless players, including me, to this world.…….
This place is, as the word suggests, a fantasy world itself..
Of course, there is a possibility that he is still alive..
Didn’t the Yongin tribe alone live for hundreds of years?.
Exciting!
When I realized this, my heart was greatly agitated..
It felt a little different than when I first heard that name..
A sound that carries the meaning of anticipation, not surprise..
Exciting!
If that bastard is really alive.
So if I could just find him and meet him.
There may be a way to return to the original world. The clue to the vague ‘return’ has appeared before our eyes for the first time.,
‘……let's calm down.’
I tried to suppress my racing heart and find my cool..
That's because you can inflate your expectations and turn on the hope circuit later, before you go to bed..
It's better to focus on the present now..
“Barbarian, you are definitely unique..”
Amelia looked at me and said something meaningful..
For a moment, I wondered if the saying 'I just pretended to know' was revealed to be false..
but…….
“Should I say I have a lot of quarrel? Even after going through something like that, you can make a joke in front of me. you… … Aren't I scared??”
Now that I look at it, I think it was just amazing..
Or, did this kind of conversation feel a little awkward because you have never met someone like this in your life?.
The important thing is that fortunately it went well..
This is why I have to live like a crazy person all the time. So no matter what you do, it won't look strange..
“What are you talking about, human woman? I am not a barbarian, but Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
“Yes, Bjorn Yandel..”
Amelia chuckled..
To me, it felt like a sign that I could now relax..
In that sense, the next question.
“But is he a man or a woman??”
“It's a man.”
“Could it be that he was disguised as a woman??”
“Well, probably not. In the record, it was written that he was a person with strong male chauvinism..”
“Regardless of ability, you wouldn't do something like that. So what about a child? Can you disguise it like that??”
“……I wouldn't do it too young..”
“The basis is?”
“Because he was a person who valued face..”
“Right.”
I nodded and quietly asked.
“But why are you looking for him??”
After finishing the easy questions that I had no choice but to answer, I asked a follow-up question..
I saw it in a book.
If you ask a question this way, you are more likely to get an answer.?
Of course, it was unclear whether it would work in practice.…….
But there's no reason not to try it..
In fact, I received an answer soon..
“……It's personal business.”
personal business.
A word that modern people often use when they don't want to talk or draw a line saying they are not in a relationship..
This is also something you say when you want to gloss over something..
But since he says this, I still don’t know..
[you don't need to know that.]
[Why do I have to answer?]
Although I refuse to answer in this way, I have never told a lie to evade anything..
Is that why??
I think it might not be an order from Noark, but really personal business..
‘Well, that's not what's important anymore.’
Auril Gavis.
If he's really in Biffron, we must find him..
Because there’s a mountain of things I want to ask..
***
After the conversation, Amelia said she would stop by the city and return at night..
I heard there was something to do there in the afternoon.?
At first, it felt so natural that I ended up nodding my head without thinking.…….
“Wait a minute, how are we going to get to the city? Is there any way to avoid the guards' eyes??”
“There is a secret passage under the sewer.”
It would have been a shame if I hadn't held on to him again and asked..
A secret passageway connected to the city.!
“Could you tell me about that too??”
“Hmm.”
“What are you worried about? As if I had asked a favor that I couldn't handle..”
“……Okay, I'll let you know..”
When I hinted that I was assisting in the search for 'Auril Gavis', Amelia willingly told me about the secret passage..
On the contrary, it seemed light and light..
Does this mean there is no debt anymore??
‘Thanks to you, I got something good.’
A kind of right of passage that allows you to come to Biffron later if you want. Of course, I have no intention of using this passage during my exile..
I also know that I tend to stand out..
If you go out and get caught, things will be a headache..
Wasn’t the driver who sent me in the only one who warned me?.
You can do anything, but just don't escape..
“Then come back.”
“I'm coming back?”
“Didn't you say you'd come back later at night?.”
“Yes, I did.…….”
In order to receive information about the location of the secret passage, we went down to the bottom of the sewer together and saw Amelia off in front of him..
Then I checked my watch and saw that three hours had already passed since the order to gather was given. So, I quietly headed to the meeting place, asking directions from people around me..
A dimensional plaza that was once bustling with explorers..
“Hey, do you know anything? Why did the boss suddenly call us all? What are those Western Union guys over there??”
“I'm not a 'hey'.”
“……?”
“I'm your boss.”
“what does that mean—”
“A rebuttal is not permitted..”
I made my way through the crowds to the center..
From time to time, members of the Western Union recognized me and greeted me..
“insect!!!”
Yeah, this is it.
“what……?”
The Western Unionists kneel before me and the Easterners just make puzzled faces..
Still, it was easier to get to the center because the path was clear..
“Are you here? Come up there..”
After reaching the center, I headed to the podium with the assistance of the reunited Squidward..
I thought I would need it so I prepared it in advance.?
‘Well, you're good at your job..’
For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to take him outside and have him do some butler work..
There must be a secret passage, it would be a waste to take him here only.?
If you get caught by a guard, you won't end up with a fine..
I was thinking about that when I was about to go up to the podium..
Kwazijic.
The stairs made of wooden planks were shattered..
These thin boards cannot support the weight of me and the equipment..
I said, unable to hide my devastation..
“Jingjing, how did this happen??”
“sorry.”
An apology immediately spit out without a single excuse..
I relaxed a little, but…….
The guy who created this platform is clearly a barbarian hater. Otherwise, it would have been designed to be sturdy enough that even a barbarian could climb it..
Yeah, that means.
“This idea is a harmful idea.”
“yes. I will burn it right now..”
Squidward brought a torch and lit the platform on fire..
When a liquid presumed to be oil was poured on top, flames soared and the three-story high platform was instantly covered in fire..
It's like having a campfire..
Grumbling-!!
It warms my heart like a warm fire..
There was no one around me back then, but how am I now?.
Aren’t there more than a thousand subordinates with you?.
“So what would you do??”
“The founding ceremony continues as is..”
“Founding ceremony… … . Yes, that's right. So gather it all in one place…….”
“It's obvious, didn't you know??”
“sorry.”
I tapped Squidward on the shoulder to show forgiveness and then [jumped] high..
The destination is the rooftop of a nearby 4-story building..
Kwaaang-!
There was some damage to the roof floor, but fortunately it didn't break down..
I felt somehow fortunate..
It would be a shame to lose face if you jumped beautifully and fell through the floor..
‘Is this why places make people??’
Without realizing it, I try to maintain my dignity..
“Hehehehe.”
Anyway, as I headed toward the railing, I could see the crowds of people gathered in the square at a glance, creating a spectacular view..
Now, it’s time to start the founding ceremony in earnest..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!!!”
I sang,
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”
The Western Union members, who were a day senior, immediately chorused..
The eastern guys just blinked and looked..
Eyes wondering what kind of crazy sight this is.
I clicked my tongue briefly..
“Tsk.”
There's still a lot to teach.
***
After the founding ceremony where the new boss's face was imprinted on the members of the organization, I called out Jingjing and Pakppaggi and gave them one instruction..
“Check the backs of everyone in Biffron. And bring me every nigga with a tattoo.”
Oh, of course, women and children under the age of 14 who could not pass the 'certification' were excluded, and a total of 37 suspects were brought before me before the first day was over..
but…….
“this is not a tattoo.”
Amelia, who returned at night, checked each of them and shook her head..
Yeah, it can't be this easy..
In order to increase efficiency, I split up with Squidward, the vice leader of the 'Behel-Ra Alliance', and on the second and third days, even more suspects were caught..
Of course, there was no one I was looking for this time either..
Even as quantity increased, quality decreased..
“I think this is a birthmark, not a tattoo..”
“That's right. how did this happen?”
“I will correct it.”
To put it simply, it means that he will also crave his subordinates for efficiency..
Fortunately, I got it done well, but from the next day onwards, there were fewer cases of bringing in things that didn't work because they were tattoos..
4Day 1, Day 5.
Two more days passed like that..
As expected, there was no significant income..
In the first place, it was funny that a big name like 'Auril Gavis' could be found using such a simple and ignorant method..
But what can I do?.
‘I should at least try this. There is no other better way.’
Even if it's like looking for a needle in the desert, if there's a chance that the needle will bring me home, I might as well give it a try..
Therefore, I continued my search..
Of course, I changed my approach a little bit..
It's nothing special, I added 'compensation'.
“Those who do not meet their daily quota receive mental training that night..”
Some people may ask how this is compensation, but human happiness is always relative..
Simply put, if you live better than others, that is your reward..
Wouldn't there have been happy people in primitive times who ate raw meat and slept naked in caves??
6Day 1, Day 7, Day 8…….
Since then, time has passed in vain..
However, there was no sign of Auril Gavis appearing, and I gradually gave up my expectations to some extent..
It would be a lie if I said I wasn't disappointed because it was the first clue to my return.…….
There was a real reason why I wanted to help him in the first place..
So I decided to focus on that..
None other than Amelia Lanewales..
What on earth is this woman doing??
‘I gathered information by talking to Amelia, whom I met every day through 'Auril Gavis'..
Surprisingly, he answered my questions well..
Although it was limited to information of low importance,.
“Do not eat foods containing wheat. For some reason my skin got itchy.”
Are you allergic to wheat?.
If you have a hobby, it's reading..
While he answered those questions without difficulty, he avoided answering questions about who the barbarian he once owed a debt to and what happened to him..
“you don't need to know that.”
“But I'm curious. A woman like you is so annoying, wouldn't she have been a great warrior! Tell me what kind of person she was!”
“……If I were to be specific, it was a little similar to you..”
Uncharacteristically, he added a military word at the end, but it was not meaningful information..
Isn’t he the same barbarian?.
There are bound to be similarities.
Anyway, with such natural chatter, I wonder if the hurdle has been lowered a bit for him as well.?
“Why are you looting? To be honest, I don't really suit you..”
“It doesn't suit me?”
Amelia shows doubt rather than getting angry at questions that may be a bit sensitive..
I typed the prepared lines without difficulty..
“Since then, I have met many marauders besides you. After that, I became more certain. You are not the kind of person who would kill for money..”
“……That's funny. what do you know about me?”
“I do not know. But, if you're at your level, you know there are plenty of ways to make money that don't involve looting..”
“…….”
Amelia was silent for a moment..
And briefly explained the situation..
“……I don't usually do it.”
“Then at that time?”
“Those guys... … I committed a crime worthy of death..”
“Does this mean it was a personal enmity relationship??”
“okay.”
Amelia answers while looking into space as if recalling a distant memory..
I was curious about the deeper circumstances beyond that, but I couldn't hear what kind of resentment it was..
Amelia came to her senses..
“I don't know what I'm telling you.”
“Don't make a fuss about something that isn't a big deal. Aren't we going to break up in a few days anyway? Since we are strangers, there are things we can talk about..”
“I can say this because I am a stranger.…….”
Amelia, who was thinking about my words for a moment, seemed to have made a deep impression, then laughed and stood up..
“It's late. I'll just go now.”
“Will it come at this time tomorrow too??”
“maybe.”
Amelia disappeared before my eyes without making a single sign like when she arrived..
Ugh, is that all for today??
I went out to the terrace to change my mood for a while..
The night view of Biffron was completely different from the city districts outside..
Streets and buildings buried in darkness without a single light.
‘There are only a few days left now.’
I sat on the rocking chair on the terrace and stared into the darkness, idly organizing my thoughts..
How long has it been since then??
I checked my watch and headed to the bedroom..
[23 : 57]
It was soon time to go to bed..
Well, it will take a while for me to fall asleep..
