Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 203
203angry blessing (3)
Dragon's Blessing.
One of the few characteristics that made the dragon race a fraudulent race. However, unlike the saying, this blessing can also be engraved on other races..
However, I have received this less than ten times in the game..
Because I had to complete the Hidden Quest while building up a certain amount of friendship with the Balaur, I was able to get through it..
‘If I picked a dwarf I didn't get along with, I couldn't even try..’
Of course, I am a barbarian and not a dwarf, but in reality, I had given up on 'blessing'..
‘The conditions for the ‘Hidden Quest’ itself are crazy, but after looking into it, the ‘Hidden Quest’ itself has disappeared in today’s era..
150 years have passed in the gaming world.
In the history book, it was written that the problem that had been the bane of the Yongin people had already been solved by a hero..
‘Wait a minute, if you can do it this way, doesn’t that mean you can’t do anything else??’
I organized my thoughts by thinking of some hidden pieces that had already been blocked. Maybe it's possible to get them through another route..
No, that's not true either..
In the game, it was completely blocked by the system..
for example…….
“Just in case, you can't choose multiple items. As a barbarian, your body won't be able to withstand it..”
“What does it mean when your body can't stand it??”
“Literally. die.”
Well, this doesn't work..
I think he'll try if I force him, but I didn't plan on being that stubborn..
Isn’t the cost my life?.
It is said that among the Yongin tribe, only a few people, excluding Mr. Yong, have engraved two or more blessings..
This means that it puts a strain on the body..
“So what's the decision? I can give you more time if you want..”
“No, it's done. Let's do this.”
I shook my head and grinned..
That's because the decision was made before I arrived..
Sea Dragon's Blessing.
First of all, this is definitely not the case..
Although MP is an important resource, if you allocate it well and hunt, you will never feel lacking..
It's not like I'm a magician in the first place..
All you need is enough.
In that sense…….
Volcano Dragon's Blessing.
this is not bad.
As the combination of skills is matched, the performance enhancement will not stop at 30% but will show more than that..
but.
“I will receive the blessing of the Earth Dragon..”
I ultimately decided that it was better to raise stats rather than skills..
The reason is simple.
Anyway, many of my skills are based on stats. If the stats increase by 20%, the skill performance will also be strengthened accordingly..
“Good choice. Are you conscious of that guy??”
Mr. Yong nodded at my choice..
They seem to think that I chose this because I was conscious of being a dragon slayer, but I just said that was the case..
It's not like I actually didn't have any thoughts about it..
[silence of the soul]
The dragon slayer, Regal Vagos, has this fucking dragon that reduces MP to zero, making it impossible to use skills..
So I had to fight him with my bare body..
However, if you ask whether this is the main factor in choosing, it is not..
The Earth Dragon has a hidden effect..
‘But there's no way they wouldn't know that.…….’
I narrowed my eyes at Mr. Dragon and the kid..
I didn't feel particularly sad..
Because I, a member of another race, would have no sense of loyalty to tell me that..
I don't need that kind of consideration in the first place..
“That's it then. I'll make room for her.”
After the decision was made, Mr. Yong left the place..
With a happy smile.
“Have a good time with my daughter.”
No, that sounds weird..
***
After Mr. Yong left.
The kid and I talked until nightfall. The main topic was the contents of my exploration so far..
“Do I really need to tell my story??”
“It's better that way. Didn't I tell you before? They say there is power in words. As you walk the path, it's easy for me to feel your wave.”
“If that's the case.”
I also thought it would be easier this way than having a big party without saying anything, so I told my story while filtering out the things that would be missed to some extent..
It's been less than a year since I became an explorer, but I have more things to say than I thought..
Is that why??
“Now it's slowly getting late, but is it still far away??”
We talked while eating, and before we knew it, it was already evening..
But wasn't it enough to engrave a blessing yet??
“……Not yet. Because your wavelength is strangely difficult to read. Okay… So hurry up and say what you just said.”
“How much did I say??”
“Doppelganger Forest. He even talked about meeting other explorers and noticing that some of them were from the underground city..”
We came here in broad daylight and talked all day, and we've already reached our latest itinerary..
When this is over, there's nothing left to say.
I was a little worried, but to be honest, fortunately, it seemed like there was no need to read the wavelength any further..
“Well, I think this is enough..”
“That means?”
“Follow me. Now I'm going to engrave a blessing on your body.”
When I followed the kid inside the room, I saw a cave hidden behind a thin cloth..
It's a cave connected to the wall of a building.…….
‘This makes me feel like I'm doing some kind of exploration..’
After walking for a few minutes beyond the cave, a space that appeared to be about 10 pyeong appeared..
A communal area containing a bed and some furniture..
Jewels embedded in the ceiling created soft light and smoke, giving the impression of a magical space..
“Now lie down here.”
“The bed is too small for me to lie down on..”
“…….”
“Just lie down on the floor.”
As I lay down on the floor coolly like a barbarian, the kid laughed and started preparing to engrave a blessing on my body..
It didn't take long.
Although it takes the form of a tattoo, the core of the blessing is ultimately the special ability the shaman possesses..
“Where should I engrave it??”
“how big is it?”
“This much.”
The little boy opened his palms wide and showed himself..
Much smaller size than expected.
“Does the location matter??
“Yeah, that doesn't matter. But why?”
“I wanted to engrave it in a place that wouldn't normally be seen..”
First of all, isn’t it a blessing from other races?.
If you get caught by barbarians before you become a tribal leader and change the conservative clan's rules, you'll be in big trouble..
“……a place you can't see?”
The child's gaze naturally shifted to one place as if something had occurred to him..
And made an embarrassed expression.
“Well, I think it might be a bit difficult there.…….”
I lowered my head, following the kid's gaze, and truly blushed..
No, crazy. who got a tattoo there?
“……Uh, if it's just your ass, I can do it..”
what.
“Okay, do it here..”
I said what I had in mind from the beginning.
“sole? Oh, I see……”
This world is closer to Western culture.
This means that since you can wear shoes even indoors, you will never have to take your feet off..
The kid who looked convinced expressed his doubts..
“But can’t I just engrave it in small pieces between the tattoos? I don’t think it will be noticeable at all. He said he always wears armor on top.?”
“The shaman will notice..”
“Oh, I guess so..”
Of course, if you look at the shaman's personality, you won't have anything to say about this..
But I want to hide it as much as possible.
I don't know what will happen next, and the shaman is strangely suspicious..
“That's it then. Can I start slowly??”
“Of course.”
“It'll hurt quite a bit.”
“It's okay, please finish it quickly..”
Even with the kid's warning, I wasn't too worried..
Yes, it hurts just as much as the spirit imprint.?
Even if I'm the type that doesn't have pain tolerance, I'm not afraid..
“i am a barbarian.”
barbarian.
A being that always moves forward after struggle.
“Hmm, yeah?”
The kid laughed meaningfully, then pulled out a white flame above his index finger..
and…….
Cheeeeeeeek!
I said, igniting the flames with the soles of my feet..
“You can make noise.”
Oh yeah?
「The Earth Dragon's blessing has been placed on the character's soul..」
「All additional stats increase by 20%.」
I shouted with all my might.
“Wow!!!”
This is no time to worry about barbarian respect..

***
The process of engraving the Earth Dragon's blessing on the soles of one's feet was short..
It took about 3 minutes?
Compared to spirit imprinting, which takes up to several hours, it can be said that it is only a moment..
However, in the end, the time consumed was similar..
I lost my mind as soon as it ended.
“Woke up?”
When I slowly open my eyes, I see a kid sitting against the wall and reading a book..
“……I guess I fell asleep for a moment.”
“I didn't faint?”
“…….”
“It's really funny.”
I put the kid's ridicule aside and checked the time first..
9 am.
It was time to start a new day..
“drink.”
After drinking the water the kid gave me, I got up..
I was very tired mentally, but I felt great vitality in my body..
Well, my abilities have increased by 20%, but I can't help but feel it..
I'm already looking forward to it..
Excluding the corpse golem, isn't there only three essences that are level 5 or higher?.
Just by filling this spot, your stats will increase as much as by eating one high-grade essence..
“kid.”
“Penitas eauros.”
I don't want to be called a kid, right??
“Yes, Penitasaurus..”
Even though I recited the name as I wanted, something felt strange..
Is this a person's name or a dinosaur's name?…….
“……just call it pen.”
“Sure, Pen. By the way, is it all over now??”
“huh. Luckily it ended well. But just in case, come back later when you have time. This is my first time doing this to another race, so there may be side effects..”
“Yeah, when I have time.”
“Come on your own. I already told my dad.”
After giving me a general understanding, I came out of the cave with Pen. And in order to return, I asked for Mr. Yong's location..
“Dad will be there when he first comes. Should I give you some guidance??”
“I can find it alone.”
After receiving guidance training from Rottmiller, I am confident that I can memorize the route..
Therefore, I am slowly leaving this place..
“sorry.”
I heard something from behind.
“huh?”
“I'm sorry. yesterday… … . To be honest, I'm ugly.”
I chuckled..
I'm to the point where I'm confused as to whether this is an apology or an argument again.…….
Like an adult, I decided to just point out the facts..
“It's not ugly.”
“what?”
“I am handsome like a man.”
Fenn looked at me intently and nodded slightly..
“……okay.”
It seems that they have succeeded in instilling a correct sense of aesthetics before the time of the world is lost..
“See you next. I'll tell you something new then.”
“……huh.”
Afterwards, I said goodbye to Pen and went to see Mr. Yong..
And after delivering the dragon sword, he returned to the original sewer through Yongeon..
The familiar smell of sewage that makes the taste of food disappear..
I thought for a moment whether I should just go back and sleep, but then I hurriedly walked away..
‘It's really connected to the city..’
As I heard from Amelia, I took the secret passage and an exit leading to the city appeared..
District 8 is located next to District 7 where I live..
Originally, I was going to meet Misha and Einar and hear about their current situation.…….
It's too tiring to do that..
‘I can see you in a few days anyway.…….’
I covered my face with the hood I had prepared, bought the skewers that Squidward had ordered, and then came back..
“These are the skewers from the store you mentioned. Like a man, I asked for the spiciest flavor..”
“…….”
“Why aren't you saying anything? Aren’t you happy??”
“……I'm glad.”
“The sound is low.”
“I'm happy!!!”
Squidward, who is very happy and made it worth his while to bring his tired body..
Seeing this saved me an hour too..
I was warned that it could come at any time, so Bifron won't go back to its old self overnight without me..
“Are you crying by any chance??”
“The skewers were spicy... Right... Yes.”
“Tsk. Because I cry so easily, my hair falls out.”
“yes…….”
“I'm going to sleep now, so don't wake me up.”
As soon as I got back, I spent almost the entire day sleeping and from then on, I rested well as if I was enjoying my last vacation..
So time passed and the day finally came..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!!!”
The end of a seemingly short yet long exile.
Receiving a warm send-off from all the gathered gang members, I headed towards the city wall. And I also had time to say goodbye to Squidward..
“I'll come visit you sometimes.”
“yes! I'll be waiting!”
Still, unlike the first day, Jingjing seems to have gathered his mentality a lot..
After re-emphasizing that we should keep the secret passage to ourselves, I called in the guards on the castle wall..
“Bjorn, son of Yandel. Confirmed.”
I soon entered the checkpoint and went through a simple identification process, and once that was over, the guard opened the gate on the other side of the double door structure..
“There is a message left by the knight of Mozlan. Next time, don't cause an accident..”
What is an accident.
Because of their circumstances, I'm stuck here with a problem that will end in a fine. I grunted and came out into the city and took a deep breath..
Should I say that the air feels different somewhere??
Strangely enough, the sunlight feels warm today..
‘……But why is there no one?’
20After returning to the city after a day of exile, I stood silently on the street for a while..
Even after several minutes, no colleague showed up..
Tsk, I was hoping they would at least come out to meet me..
‘Well, you probably didn't know when it was coming out..’
I quickly grabbed a carriage and moved to the inn..
And as soon as I arrived, I knocked on Misha's room..
Bang bang!
No matter how many times I knocked, the door never opened..
I didn't hear anything from inside..
‘what? Did you go out??’
Maybe he was going to pick me up, but our paths diverged..
That was the car I was thinking about..
Suddenly.
visit was held.
It was Einar's room, not Misha's..
“Bjorn……!!!!”
Einar greets me urgently, looking like she has just woken up..
For some reason, a sense of heterogeneity bloomed..
‘what?’
At first it was an act of unconsciousness, but I was soon able to find out what the cause of the feeling of strangeness was..
If Misha is coming to meet me, there is no way Einar will be left here alone..
Because I would have brought it with you.
“why… … ! Why did you come so late?!!”
“Just calm down and talk.”
Suppressing my growing anxiety, I first asked the whole story..
“Misha... … ! Misha was kidnapped!!”
Something went wrong while I was away..
