Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 296
296Tuesday newbie (4)
Noark, a city full of affection.
However, if you interpret this word differently, it can mean that there is nothing to see but 'Jeong'..
The prices are so confusing that I can't get used to it..
Aged and outdated administrative services.
Even when I went to the labyrinth management office this morning to receive a binding spell, the administrative wizard in line said he was tired and came to rest for an hour..
Well, after that, out of anger, I went to the front row and was given my turn..
“How long will it be like that??”
“Ah, I felt strange for a moment. This plan is really no different now than it was 20 years later..”
“Why are you saying something so obvious??”
Well, there is no romance.
Even if the cancer is the same, it is still a labyrinth from 20 years ago.?
“Follow me carefully.”
After looking around and feeling lost for a moment, I ran after Amelia, who started running first..
It was a little strange.
From what I can see, it seems like I'm on the right path.…….
How do you find your way without even looking at a compass??
‘Oh, no way…….’
“Are you perhaps a guide??”
At my question, Amelia looked back for a moment, then started running again without saying a word..
But that was the answer.
‘crazy…….’
A human character who is an Auror user, has a doppelganger essence, and even has the characteristics of a guide.?
I feel like the world is unfair again..
I'm a little greedy.
‘I think it would be really reliable to have a kid like this on the team.…….’
After we get to know each other a little more, if I go back and recruit you, will you accept me? There are already quite a few seats left to fill the clan capacity of 10 people.…….
Oh, by the way, my clan will probably be doing just fine without me.?
“…….”
It was a time when I was running after Amelia, thinking about various things..
“Oh, the two of you are going?”
A group of explorers we met along the way started talking to us..
They were not low-level explorers, but a group of people running towards the second floor like us to shorten the travel time..
‘This makes me secretly nervous..’
My current affiliation is Noark, not Lafdonia..
Maybe that's why I'm worried that people over there might think something suspicious about us..
Well, in the end, it was a useless worry..
“don't pay attention.”
“Haha, that's harsh. Have a hard time!”
Amelia said coldly, and the group laughed cheerfully and disappeared along the way..
“Why are you so frozen??”
“just… It's no big deal. I just thought it would be difficult to live after committing a crime..”
“………what?”
Amelia asked again, as if she had heard something she couldn't hear, and then laughed heartily..
“Hot, hahahaha!”
Honestly, it was very foreign to me..
Not only was it not something that made me laugh like that, but it was the first time I'd ever seen him laugh this loud..
“……Hehe, I guess you like this kind of thing.?”
When I asked, feeling proud for some reason, Amelia stopped laughing and looked straight..
“Don't get me wrong. She was so ridiculous that she just laughed.”
Uh huh, if you're going to do that, just lower your mouth and say something..
Maybe it's because I'm from Noark, but the humor code is really weird..
Was it so funny that I was shaking with anxiety??
Amelia opened her mouth as she clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, making a tsk sound..
“In the first place, the people I just saw were from Noark..”
“what?”
The guy who just seemed like a cheerful guy was from Noark.?
“How do you know that? I heard that it is at their discretion whether or not to wear a camp insignia..”
Amelia briefly explained my question..
There were no wizards or priests in the team..
The colors and designs of the equipment worn were not uniform, as if the equipment had been stolen from someone..
And above all…….
“The only ones from here are carrying around a kid with his face covered in a robe..”
“A kid? Oh, you mean that little explorer in the back??”
“okay.”
“Hmm, I thought it was just a short woman or a dwarf... … . How can you be sure??”
Amelia answered my question with a slightly stiff voice..
“Just, I know it when I see it..”
“what?”
“Okay, let's move on.”
Amelia hung up the conversation as if it wasn't a topic she wanted to talk about at length..
It's one of this woman's bad habits..
Ha, it really makes me curious about people..
“Amelia.”
“…….”
“But if what you say is true, why do people from Noark come into the labyrinth with children??”
Instead of asking how he was able to recognize the little boy at a glance, I asked something a little different..
Amelia answered as if this was okay..
“First of all, kids can be fed on pennies..”
“Hmm, I guess that's still a reason to bring him to the labyrinth..”
“Surprisingly useful. You can ask them to do annoying things like cooking or watch, and it can also help with looting..”
“It helps with looting.……?”
“It's being used as bait. When a child approaches and asks for help, even the most wary explorers will try to listen first..”
Um, I see.?
“That's strange. If it were me, I think I would be more wary when a child approaches. In Lapdonia, didn't they prevent minors from entering the labyrinth?.”
“That's because you are 20 years from now. The law remained the same then and now, but at this time, public officials were also tacitly giving permission..”
Wow, when he says this, a real old man says, ‘Back in my day…’ … .' It seems like he's saying.
“But Amelia, how old are you??”
“……When it's time to talk nonsense, move your feet.”
Anyway, after that, we continued chatting and headed to the second floor. As we ran, we arrived at our destination quickly..
As expected, the portal had been opened by someone..
Wow, that's a shame. I think we arrived early too..
“Going up.”
As soon as we entered the portal, a gloomy yet stale air greeted us..
‘I feel bad whenever I come here.’
land of the dead.
It is an area where various undead monsters such as ghouls and Deathfiends appear, and it is also the place where Amelia and I first met..
‘Huh, I was so scared at that time that I thought I was going to get sick of it..’
When I see this, I feel like people really don’t know what to do..
How could I have known that we would come here again, just the two of us, this time as colleagues?.
“Amelia, I have a question..”
“do not do that.”
“I said it at Bfron back then. The people you killed here had sins that deserved death. Maybe it had something to do with the past you're trying to fix??”
“you… … There are so many things I’m curious about..”
“Of course.”
When I nodded without being affected at all by the sarcastic remark, Amelia clicked her tongue and responded..
“Yes, there is a relationship..”
Well, it was like that too.
I wanted to hear the story behind it, but looking at his expression, I thought he would be angry, so I stopped..
I'll have to ask this again later..
“When you're done with the questions, move on..”
2We entered the floor and moved on, slaughtering monsters without stopping..
But is it because there are only two people??
It reminded me of the time when I was an explorer as a duo with Einar, and I was filled with new emotions..
At that time, each battle was hard work..
Time flies so fast.
Powok-!
Suddenly, I was able to kill Deathfiend with my bare fists..
“Behel—laaaaa!!!”
“…….”
“Oh, I'm sorry. It's a habit.”
“Okay, sit down. Take a break here.”
After moving around all day, I sat down at night. Then we had a quick meal and agreed to sleep for three hours before moving on..
For your information, there was no wake call..
[[Self-replication] can be used to summon an alter ego.?
“……That's it?”
In the game, the doppelganger essence did not come with an ‘auto-hunt’ mode..
So, how did this happen?.
The answer was really simple.
“Don't worry. Because I've never slept properly since I became an adult..”
Since he is always half-awake while sleeping, he is able to control his alter ego to some extent..
Well, that's what this woman says.
I don't know if this is biologically possible..
“Tsk, my eyes are always blurry for some reason..”
“Are we going to fight??”
“Regarding my personality, I was told to get some sleep..”
“…….”
Anyway, during auto-hunting mode, movement becomes slower than usual, but on lower floors, this should be enough..
“Then take a break.”
Therefore, I just lay down without any disagreement..
Sleep didn't come right away.
It wasn't that I was anxious about not having an on-watch watch..
I'm a tank anyway, so even if I get hit in my sleep, I won't be able to get away with anything..
‘Are the kids doing well?…….’
As I was camping in the labyrinth, thoughts of my colleagues kept lingering in my mind..
The first night passed like that..
***
Day 2 of entering the labyrinth.
We arrived at the 3rd floor exactly on schedule..
So now it's time to do the mission that has slowly entered the labyrinth..
Ah, there is only one mission..
To return home with enough results to be noticed by the lord of Noark Castle..
[From the first day he came down to Noark, he proved his skills by touring the city. But still, Seongju did not approach us..]
Amelia said this about the reason:.
[They are clearly being careful. There were several instances where the royal family sent agents underground..]
So, in other words, what we have to prove in the labyrinth this time is not our ability, but our ‘inclination’.’.
Are we truly worthy of Noark?.
[The easiest way to prove ourselves is through plunder. If you gather all the loot from this labyrinth trip and return, suspicion will decrease..]
Amelia mentioned looting as the first method, and I agreed to this..
Oh, of course, there was one condition..
Let's plunder, but target looters, not regular explorers..
[Is that a condition??]
[okay. I no longer place too much value on human life, but I still don't kill anyone for my own gain..]
[……But how do you spot a looter??]
Amelia was flexible and said she would do it if there was a way, and I said it was hard to say and I would show it to her later..
So time passes and now.
“Well, what to do now??”
We arrived at the third floor, which was our target floor..
That's because looters cannot appear on the 4th floor, and it is difficult for two people to operate on the 5th floor..
The 3rd floor is perfect for looter farming..
“If you really have a way to identify predators, go ahead and do it..”
Oh, it's urgent.
Soon I asked Amelia for a few things..
“Amelia, use the stealth ability first..”
“……Stealth?”
“What are you pretending not to know? Isn’t that what you wrote in front of me back then? suddenly disappeared into the darkness.”
“…….”
Amelia did as I said and disappeared into the darkness without any questions..
Huh, I really don’t feel like I’m popular at all..
When I go back later, I'll have to guess the detection series number items in advance..
“Okay, so what's next??”
It felt very awkward to hear a voice coming from thin air, but I answered calmly without showing any signs of it..
“Nothing special. Now just follow me like that. I will find the looter.”
“That's right.”
One of the good things about Amelia as a colleague.
No matter what I do, I will refrain from asking miscellaneous questions and just observe..
Well, I guess so.…….
“barbarian.”
Suddenly Amelia asked me.
“why… … Suddenly taking off the equipment?”
Ah, yes, I was so curious about that that it was hard to hold back..
Well, it might be difficult for the average person to understand..
Still, I was hoping you would understand..
“It's hard to explain, so just watch it..”
Afterwards, I put everything except a few pieces of equipment into the subspace ring. Then I took out the beginner's set I had been eyeing and put it on..
“…….”
Seeing how quiet the surroundings were, Amelia didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to do even then..
However, as the saying goes, seeing is worth seeing..
Even if you hear it a hundred times, it is no better than seeing it once..
“Then we will start slowly, so please follow along..”
I started running forward blindly..
And I shouted with all my might.
“Wow, I got lost and became separated from my colleagues! Oh, I can't see! Is there anyone! help me!!!”
The Barbarian's Secret Technique Evolved to Protect the Heart.
In other words, it is bad for oneself and good for others..
“Please help me!!! i have a lot of money!!”
He who comes is not good..
