Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 247
247angry gnome tree (1)
alchemist.
A being that can change magic stones into matter..
Even in Lapdonia, there are not many people with this profession, so it is considered the most important resource..
Needless to say, it was a much worse Noark..
“Good morning, Marlene.!”
“Is this an errand for the alchemist? It looks heavy. I'll listen to you.”
That was why everyone in the city was so kind to Marlene..
Because she is the one and only alchemist's disciple.
One day, when she inherits all the knowledge, she will be responsible for this city from then on..
‘It seems like my grandfather is slowly not feeling the same as before.…….’
To be honest, it would be a lie if I said this position is not burdensome..
But there is no one else to do it but her..
So, I have no choice but to somehow take responsibility and do my best..
Isn’t it a position where there are only duties?.
“grandfather!”
“Even if you call me Master.”
“all right. Master! So what about that item? came?”
“Cancer, here it is. I heard there are quite a number. I guess I'll find it on my own..”
Soon the alchemist threw a two-way subspace, and Marlene caught it and checked what was inside..
It contained what she had ordered..
“Please make sure to say thank you!”
“okay.”
Marlene whistled and put the items into her personal bag..
It was an obvious privilege.
If there was no position as an alchemist's disciple, it would not only have been impossible to use the strategic item, two-way subspace, for personal purposes.…….
The infiltrators who went to the city in the first place would not have listened to her request..
“Wow, grandpa! Try some of this. This place’s cookies are really good.!”
“Even if you call me Master. Oh, the cookies are delicious..”
“But what is that? The external characteristics seem to be similar to Elixir, but that's unlikely.…….”
“Haha, you saw it well..”
“Yeah? Really, it's an elixir.?”
Marlene, who had been eating a cookie without thinking, jumped up..
Of course, it's an elixir.?
The ingredients were so expensive and the production process so difficult that even her teacher could only make five bottles in her lifetime..
‘I said I already used up two bottles.…….’
Now there are only three elixirs left in Noark..
But one of them is now in the teacher's hand..
For what reason??
When Marlene's eyes sparkled with curiosity, the teacher smiled and told her the situation..
“You too must follow along and learn, so you must know. Today, we will feed the elixir to the dragon slayer Regal Vagos and, depending on the level of recovery, we will attempt to restore his memories..”
“Regal Vagos, to that guy.……?”
Marlene frowned without realizing it..
“Why didn't you like it??”
“……Just because it looks scary.”
“Don't judge people by their appearance. Wasn’t it because of the injury? They say I had a pretty handsome face before I got burned. Well, apart from that, I don't really like that guy either..”
“Yeah, right? It's not just me.?”
“Hehe, you always pick and listen to only what you want to hear..”
“Well, it's not just about my looks either. That guy is so unfriendly. As well as speaking informally to her grandfather.…….”
“guy.”
There was a moment of awkward silence, and then Marlene heard the details from her teacher..
The reason why the precious elixir was given to the dragon was very simple..
Well, at least on the surface.
“It is said that the Corpse Collector's power has been greatly reduced this time and it needs to be replenished..”
“Is that guy that cool? They say she was cursed and made weak..”
“Still, his eloquence is special. It's not like you can use it however you want... … . I expected that if I took the elixir this time, I would be in a state where I could use it one or two more times..”
The leader of Orculis directly requested elixir from Seongju, and Seongju granted it..
It was a one-sided request, but it could not be helped..
Because we are responsible for Yongin becoming like that..
They tried to treat him, but somehow Yongin's health worsened further..
“Tsk, I still don’t know what happened. There was obviously no reason for that to happen..”
“From what I saw, it was all acting, acting! They're trying to frame us somehow and take the initiative.!”
“……I don't think it's acting, but I understand what you want to say. Seongju, she shouldn't be swayed by them forever..”
Orculis was like a poisoned chalice..
Especially in the sense that even though I know it's harmful, I can't let go of it..
“Well then, the preparations are over so let's go..”
Afterwards, Marlene followed her teacher to the room where the dragon was..
“Sooooo…….”
He was lying in bed, unable to speak properly..
My limbs are stiff and I just roll my eyes..
“There is no problem with my hearing, so I will say it to myself. This must be good news for you. The castle lord has given you an elixir..”
“Draw it…….”
“Then let's get started right away.”
For reference, the treatment process was nothing special..
After all, is elixir a normal product??
The whole process is to carefully feed the elixir so as not to spill it..
“…….”
After taking the dose and waiting for about ten minutes, Yongin was able to stand up and speak..
but…….
“Damn it, what the hell did you guys do before??”
The first line he said was this.
“No, I received treatment because I did something stupid to end up in that state?!!”
Marlene wanted to say something, but she barely held back, remembering what Master said before she came..
“Hehe, that's why you didn't bring the elixir like this. I hope you will be generous..”
“Ha, unless you're a real alchemist.…….”
“Okay, I feel like I'm feeling better, so let's move on..”
“next?”
“That's what I was trying to do back then. I couldn't do it at the time because I suddenly collapsed, but shouldn't I get my lost memories back now?.”
“Well, there's no problem.……?”
“You may fail, but it won't cause any problems to your body..”
“……I'll believe it.”
Yongin nodded, acting as if he were his master. It was very unpleasant for Marlene, but she couldn't say anything while her teacher was still..
“Eat. It is an elixir called ‘Lethe’s Curse’. Oh, and it may hurt a little, but your body will handle it well, so don't worry too much..”
Soon, Yongin took the medicine with a distrustful look and swallowed it..
“……It's written.”
“The pain will come soon, so lie down here..”
Yongin obediently followed the instructions and lay down on the bed again..
And how long has it passed?.
“……!”
Yongin, who had been suffering and sweating profusely, opened his eyes again..
“What is it like? Did the memories come back??”
“……I don't know. It looks like it might fly.”
“It might take time.”
“It's a very strange feeling. Things that happened when I was young come to mind clearly..”
“Because it's that kind of drug..”
“Isn’t there something sweeter than that? I wish I had something to talk about…….”
At Yongin's request, the teacher looked at Marlene..
It means if you have something, give it away..
“……I'll bring it.”
Marlene quickly went back to her room and brought back the cookies she had left behind earlier..
However, when I returned, the teacher was not there..
“If it was your teacher, the Lord of Seong called him and he went for a while. So what to eat?”
“Here you go…….”
Marlene handed over the few cookies left..
I don't feel like it, but what can I do?.
‘Amelia gave it to me.…….’
This dragon man was so greedy that he couldn't be satisfied with just one piece and ate several pieces..
And how long has it been since.
“Ugh… … Head!!”
Yongin suddenly grabbed his forehead..
As if a forgotten ‘memory of that day’ came to mind..
“Yeah, yeah... … ! He's a bastard……!”
Soon, Yongin looked into the sky and cheered deeply..
However, that time of joy could not last long..
“Big, big, big.!”
Yongin coughing loudly with a pained expression.
Just looking at it, it didn't look like anything was stuck in my throat..
Before we knew it, Yongin’s skin, red from burns, was swelling to a strange extent..
‘Ha, my grandfather didn't say there were side effects like this.?’
Marlene's hair turned white due to a situation she had not heard about in advance..
and at that moment.
“you!!”
Suddenly Yongin stretched out his hand towards Marlene..
A touch of obvious hostility.
Marlene, who had only learned alchemy her entire life, could not even react to the movement..
but…….
“Pfft!”
That hand never touched her body..
This is because Yongin, who was trying to get up, lost his balance and fell down the bed..
“Wow!”
Saliva was leaking out of the wide open mouth..
If I'm not mistaken, it seemed like there was blood mixed in as well..
So, how on earth did this happen?.
“you… What did you mix with the cookies?…….”
“yes yes? It's just an ordinary cookie…….”
Marlene responded in confusion, and from this point on, Yongin completely fell to the floor..
“……Damn bitch.”
Meanwhile, Yongin was looking up with a blood vessel standing on his neck..
Of course, this didn't last long either..
flutter.
Soon Yongin lowered his head helplessly..
“Yes, dragon blood... is the opposite of cinnamon.······.”
I was allergic to cinnamon..
***
「The activation conditions for Star's Protection have been met..」
***
The third vine disappeared.
I don't know why.
If I had to guess, I guess he was punished for not getting tired and making evil plans again..
First of all, it is a sacred object imbued with the power of God..
Anyway, what you should care about is not the reason..
‘Shit.’
Now the dragon slayer can come after me at any time..
This means that there will be more things to be cautious about in the future..
‘It was only last month that the second vine broke off..’
How can this happen??
I can't help but sigh.
Of course, it cannot be said that sufficient preparations have been made yet..
‘I guess I can handle it well with just one guy.…….’
The problem is that there is no guarantee that he will come alone to take revenge on me..
If he comes with a clown?
Even if that's not the case, if you bring a lot of subordinates with you,?
‘It looks like the barrier will soon be breached..’
The royal family even obtained the means to destroy Noark's barrier..
If communication between the surface and the underground becomes possible, it will also become possible to meet the dragon slayer in this city rather than in the labyrinth..
Of course, even this was not a problem to worry about right away..
‘Why are you here?…….’
I let out a silent sigh and glanced around..
“Bjorn, that can't be right……!”
Misha, who knew what this vine ring meant, was just astonished..
On the other hand, the article?
“……?”
I'm just wondering what kind of weird thing this is..
However, the Paladin was different..
“……It is a sacred relic of our school. It's also the first time I've seen it.”
Sven Farab.
His eyes narrowed as he held the position of vice-captain of the 2nd Holy Knights of Leatlas..
As a religious person, I realized that this was a holy relic..
“Could it be that the oracle that came down last time was…….”
“stop.”
“ah… sorry.”
When I cut him off mid-sentence, the paladin realized his mistake and kept his mouth shut..
But, it's already too late.
“Then, the main character of the oracle at that time was…….”
“……The basis of escort missions is confidentiality, so don't worry too much..”
Don't worry, it's nonsense.
Even if it's confidential, they're going to tell everyone they care about..
‘……Ha, that's annoying..’
Three knights and one vice-captain.
The secret is known to only four, but it is obvious that the number will increase in the future..
How long will it take for it to reach the ears of the tribal leader??
‘……They won't kick you out of the real tribe or anything.?’
Well, I'm not sure about that..
But it was clear that something troublesome would happen..
The tribal leader seemed to be displeased with the fact that I had become a nobleman. It was also a task to persuade them under the pretext that it was for the sake of the tribe..
‘……9It will take a while longer to even engrave the steps..’
It's stuffy.
Especially since there is no way I can do it right now..
Even if I asked to keep it a secret, everyone would say they would do it in front of me..
“Then I'll just leave..”
Therefore, I just left Daesinjeon without saying anything..
What happened anyway??
‘The only way to do this is to report the shortage as quickly as possible..’
If I become the tribal leader and change the tribal traditions, all problems will be solved..
And in that sense…….
“Misha, you should go home now..”
I have something to do.
“Yes?”
“I want to stop by the sacred place for a while..”
Didn’t they say you should take off the bull’s horn when it’s hot?.
I immediately parted ways with Misha and headed to the Holy Land..
The knights only accompanied us to the entrance of the shrine and did not come inside..
This is because the Barbarians still keep the tradition of prohibiting entry to other races..
“Then we will wait here..”
“I'll be out by evening, so stay nearby and rest..”
“yes.”
As soon as I entered through the open gate, a forest terrain that was difficult to see in the city appeared..
But is it a remnant of a warrior’s body??
For some reason, this place feels more like home than Lee Hansu’s room, which I go to every time a community is held..
‘As expected, the air here is good.’
Instead of walking on a paved road, I was walking on a path overgrown with weeds, and soon I arrived at the residential area of the shrine..
Huts that were just built without any specific standards.
“Yandel's son, Bjorn, is a warrior who received the protection of the ancestor god and is invincible.!”
“God and invincible!”
“Now, listen carefully as I tell you the story of how Bjorn took down the most evil corpse collector in the world.!”
“Hey, are you listening? what does that mean!”
“This means open your ears and listen.!”
In a nearby vacant lot, young warriors were seen receiving early training..
For reference, the instructor…….
‘Einar.’
Einar was a little different from the outside..
In front of Missha, her shoulders, which had never been wide open, widened, and her expression was full of confidence..
And he was carrying four backpacks..
Now, among the Barbarians, the number of backpacks is a symbol of success..
He must have wanted to show off in front of his juniors..
I guess I liked that position, but these days, it's my daily routine to go to work at Holy Land every morning..
‘……Let's pass by quickly.’
I wanted to say hello to Einar, but I felt like I was going to get all irritated, so I stopped..
There is a different reason why I came to the holy place today..
You must save your strength.
Well done.
Soon I arrived at the tribal leader's house, opened the tent wide and went inside..
It's one of the Barbarian's strengths..
no need to knock.
“Oh, I guess I'm feeling better.?”
“Yes.”
“The business that came?”
The tribal leader, like a man standing at the top of the barbarian tribe, gets straight to the point without saying much..
It's always nice and cool here.
I have nothing to be afraid of either..
“I have something to say.”
“do it.”
A society of barbarians where honesty is considered a virtue..
“I came to succeed to the position of tribal leader..”
I just said it like a noobakku.
“It's succession…….”
The tribal leader answered, taking out an ax that was standing at an angle in one corner..
“Don't say anything difficult, just go for it.”
