Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 295
295Tuesday newbie (3)
I turned my head and saw a hand on my shoulder..
A ring with an unusual pattern was worn on the index finger..
“Subspace ring group.”
my heart was pounding.
What is in that ring?.
It feels like looking at a random box that hasn't been opened yet..
Sigh.
Without realizing it, my hand went to the ring..
my treasure…….
“……What is this, you bastard?!”
A man who takes his hand away from his shoulder as soon as he touches it.
“Barbarian, you bastard! You can't believe it……!”
Looking at the shocked look in your eyes, I thought I knew what the misunderstanding was..
His colleagues also muttered one word at a time..
“I thought it was strange that the barbarian was new..”
“There's no way a normal guy would come down to this city..”
“Was he kicked out of the tribe because of this tendency?…….”
What do you say, these crazy people?.
I had to quickly resolve the misunderstanding..
Therefore, he quickly extended his fist forward..
Powok-!
The face of the buck-toothed man who dared to put his hand on my shoulder and pretend to be friendly on the first ride..
“Ugh!”
Something white flew out of the guy's wide open mouth..
Buck teeth completely cured with one punch.
“Behel—laaaaa!”
No sooner had he let out a battle cry than the surrounding explorers retreated to create space..
“It's a fight!”
“Wow!”
“The new guy and Rex's gang got together.!!”
This isn't some kind of school classroom..
The employees sitting at the counter also said, 'Again?' I just sigh with the same expression.
That's right, there's no one trying to stop you.?
‘rather good.’
I'm starting to like Noark more and more..
Maybe I wanted this kind of manly society, even though I pretended not to be..
“This bastard!!”
Bucktooth's former colleague, Bearded Man, took out his weapon in indignation..
Okay, let's go to the temple.?
I refrained from using a weapon just in case, so I took out my mace and swung it as if I had been waiting..
but…….
Huh-!
The bearded man bowed and dodged the mace..
and at that moment.
grip support.
An electric sphere flew out with sparks flying from the hand of the man behind him..
I don't think it's magic.
He seems to be a psychic.…….
‘Yes, my shield is adamantium..’
Adamantium is a level 5 metal with a 50% reduction in property damage..
Paget-!
An electric current flowed through the shield and through the body, but it was enough to just endure this with anti-magic power..
However, was this the first time this type was encountered??
‘If you're going to catch a tank, you have to curse it first, you bastards..’
As I casually swung the mace, the beard looked bewildered..
“……!”
I understand..
Because he expected me to ‘stiffen up’, he narrowed the distance even further..
Just the right angle to hit.
Powok!
Okay, this is the second one..
Cooung.
The bearded man's body flew across the ceiling and fell to the floor..
If it were a baseball situation, it would have been a foul..
I tapped his shoulder with the mace and stared straight ahead..
“What are you doing? Not coming.”
The trio, who had tried to cut in line but had two of their colleagues killed in an instant, acted surprisingly rationally..
“Rex, let's step aside..”
“……?”
“I think they were new recruits who arrived yesterday, and they were all found dead after being followed by the Kalte gang..”
Oh, you haven't heard the rumor yet..
It seems he realized from what the onlookers were saying that this was not an easy enemy.…….
“But if I leave like this…….”
“It will be a laughing stock. But isn't it better than dying? I don't know if it's true, but it is said that one of his colleagues is a woman who uses an Auror..”
“auror……?”
A man named Rex frowned..
and at that moment.
Sigh.
Amelia, who was waiting in line somewhere else, came up and stood next to me..
“Oh, are you here?.”
“It seems like you're all about the incident..”
“It's not my fault this time.”
“……know. Because I saw it.”
While saying that, Amelia placed her hand on the dagger on her thigh..
And was this decisive??
“……How about ending it here??”
A man named Rex made a suggestion..
Well, that's not how negotiations work..
“The apple is?”
“do it I'm sorry for making such a rude request to you..”
If you decide to dress up, is it the culture here to dress up closely??
Surprisingly, the guy came out in a completely low-key manner..
‘Well, then what should we do?…….’
I glanced to the side while thinking, and Amelia nodded slightly..
It means to say this and send it to me..
“Okay, I'll accept your apology..”
“Thanks, then.…….”
After I received the apology, Rex and his colleagues began to take care of their fallen comrade..
Um, what on earth is this??
“stop.”
“……?”
“Leave everything they have behind.”
“I received the apology…….”
No, that's that and this is this, man..
What is the meaning of a mere apology??
“Now we're all from the same camp. We should help each other.”
Cancer, isn’t that the way people live in the world??
***
After thinking for a while, Rex finally sighed and took off the equipment of his fainted colleagues..
“Okay, that's it.?”
“The ring is?”
“……Here it is.”
Huh, how much is this??
It's almost like money is being copied..
Why on earth did the Noark kids live in poverty??
‘Anyway, I decided to check what was inside the ring later.…….’
“Go see it.”
“…….”
After driving out the Rex guys, I put all the equipment I took off into the subspace ring..
Huh, there are already a lot of inconveniences with expandable backpacks, so I wish there was more space..
“They may not look like many people, but they have warm hearts..”
“…….”
“What are you staring at? Now, let's stand in line again..”
Afterwards, we headed towards the window again..
Because I got out of the line, other explorers were already in the place I was standing, but there was no problem..
Because I've already adapted to this city.
“oh man.”
“……What's the matter??”
“As you saw earlier, there are circumstances, so could you please yield the order??”
“……Of course.”
Soon we were able to stand in the front row thanks to the kindness of the explorer..
Since I was in the middle line before the fight, I was able to save almost 30 minutes..
“The people here are full of affection..”
“……Someone will think you're from here and not me..”
Hehe, I'm embarrassed to praise you.
“I just adapt quickly. It's not like a genius or anything..”
“I didn't say that.”
“Hehe, it's hard to be honest.”
“…….”
Anyway, since we were in the front row, our turn came quickly and we were able to complete registration ahead of schedule..
That's because I skipped the grade adjustment application..
“Didn't you originally say you were going to raise it to level 5??”
“Does not matter. Anyway, our news would have reached Seongju’s ears by now..”
The reason was that the goal had already been achieved thanks to me, so there was no need to announce the essence of possession to the world while adjusting the rating..
“Good thing you did what you wanted..”
“……So far so good, but move cautiously from now on. Because there are not only minnows like that in this city..”
“I get it. So, is today's work done now??”
“Okay, just come back and rest..”
Afterwards, we returned to the accommodation we rented yesterday, rented it for a long period of time, refrained from going out, and waited..
And how long has it been.
Contrary to Amelia's expectations, even after a few days, Seongju did not show interest or approach her first..
Well, the plan was to go under the castle first..
“Amelia, how did this happen??”
“……Since they don't have any information about us, I guess they're just taking some time to figure out our tendencies..”
“so?”
“Let's just keep waiting. I'm sure you'll get a call someday. Because of the castle lord's nature, he won't leave independent high-ranking explorers alone..”
As time passed, the day came to enter the labyrinth..
***
“Wow!”
“How long has it been?!”
“Now, let's go make money ahhh!”
A square crowded with people as if a festival were taking place..
It was a sight that could always be seen on the day of entering the labyrinth, but those gathered in the square today looked especially excited..
It wasn't something I couldn't understand.
Most of the small number of people who entered the labyrinth last month returned alive, and public opinion arose that the labyrinth has become safer..
This would be great news for those who were struggling..
Wow-
Arua Raven, who was passing by on the road next to the square in her carriage, closed the curtain bitterly..
It felt real again..
“Yeah, it's already been a month.…….”
A month has passed since Bjorn Jandel's death..
It was the death of a man called a hero among explorers, but the world did not change..
Only her surroundings have changed.
“ha…….”
Raven briefly recalled the past days..
[Yes, Bjorn is dead..]
Surprisingly, it was the female warrior who moved the most rationally in the group..
[What should I do? Let's all go and rest. I'm tired, so let's talk tomorrow about what to do next. In the guild… … I'll stop by alone.]
She faced reality and tried to do what had to be done right away..
What sustains this team that Bjorn Jandel created.
Of course, there was no chance it would go well..
[from now on… … What? what does that mean?]
[Now that Bjorn is dead, won't the five of us have to enter the labyrinth from now on?.]
At those words, the fairy shot back in an aggressive voice..
[Exploration? Is that a problem now??]
[Then what's the problem??]
[Of course I have to take revenge.!]
[Revenge?]
[Noark! It's all because of those people that something like that happened on the island! To begin with, that red-haired woman is also suspicious. If that bitch is alive and has something to do with you…….]
Life was shining in the fairy's eyes..
[No, it doesn't matter if it's not related..]
[…….]
[I will find them all and kill them all..]
I understand the feeling of losing your mind due to anger..
Noark was the cause of my recent loss of my sister..
[Erwen, I know how you feel, but calm down. How are you going to get revenge on those people who went out in the first place? First, go back and rest today and then come back again tomorrow.…….]
[Yeah, that's just it for you guys..]
[yes?]
[I feel sorry for you. People like this are also my friends, so I stay alone and say I will protect them..]
[…What did you say? say it again.]
[Les, Raven, stop it! You shouldn't do that either.!]
The female warrior stopped her..
Normally, a beastman warrior would have stepped forward, but she didn't seem to have the spirit to do so..
But was it noticeable??
[…….]
The fairy approached the beastman warrior..
[What about your sister? Are you going to do it? plural?]
[me, i…….]
The beast warrior frowned..
And how long has it passed?.
[beast of a bitch.]
The fairy, who had been quietly waiting for an answer, left without saying a single word..
[Well, I will meet Erwen tomorrow. So we too... Just two things.]
So they dispersed and returned home..
The female warrior said she would stop by the guild to report Bjorn Yandel's death, but the wizard stopped her..
[Einar, please take care of Misha. This… … I will do it.]
[but…….]
[Einar, you can’t even read..]
[I get it. please.]
Until the moment they parted ways, Archer, who had a family, did not say anything..
I just watched with bitter eyes as the team was divided, as if this had happened several times..
[Let’s see, the number of deaths… Baron Bjorn Jandel?!]
When the death report was submitted to the guild, there was no chaos around the area..
Not only the nearby explorers, but even the staff looked like they wanted to ask something, but they didn't approach after seeing Raven's expression..
A day passed like that..
[Did you hear? They say Baron Bjorn Jandel is dead..]
[Who would have thought a giant would go like that?…….]
[A precious person has died.]
Bjorn Jandel's death spread through the city as quickly as his reputation during his lifetime..
And those who knew him found his house.
[Einar! Misha! Open the door! Really Yandel, is that friend dead? Oh, why on earth... … . Open it!]
His former companion, the dwarven warrior Hikurod Murad..
[……Murad, stop. I stopped by my guild and checked the death report. It will be okay if we make things difficult for both of us. Let's go back and come back again..]
brown rotmiller.
And many other explorers who were indebted to a hero named Bjorn Jandel visited his home..
[Thank you for saving us that day..]
[Now to the library... You won't come.]
Flowers piled up in front of the door.
Many people mourned his death, and the Barbarians, who regarded him as the next chieftain, locked the gates of the shrine and held a funeral for several days, praying for his soul, which had fallen asleep in the labyrinth, to return to the forest..
But still, the world hasn't changed.
Only her surroundings have changed.
[……Everyone, don't think about exploring for a while and just rest..]
All future exploration plans have been halted..
Well, what can the four of us do?.
Even if everyone is crazy.
Everyone needs a break.
It's Arua Raven, and she herself too..
but…….
‘Nothing will change if you rest.’
After the fairy left that day, Arua Raven intuitively realized that.
The saying that time is medicine is a lie.
As the days go by, instead of fixing everything, it will become more and more messed up..
so that.
“I have to find it.”
From that day on, Arua Raven could not sleep well and spent every day buried in a book..
Just today, I was returning to the lab after stopping by the library in the palace..
Of course, there are questions about his death..
In the city, it is known that people died due to 'storm gush'.…….
“I still don't understand.”
According to the circumstances, he was successful in the hunt..
He even had the energy to fix his body by nailing it to the floor to prevent it from being washed away by the sea..
But, where on earth did it disappear in such a short period of time??
If he was really swept away by the water, why was his equipment taken off??
“There's more... … . There's some big secret…….”
Raven clutched her chest as if she was having trouble breathing..
Although it may not be a reasonable reasoning like a wizard,.
“There must be more…….”
She needed something to hold on to..
