Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 392
392angry captain barbarian (2)
The appearance of a trainee shaman who did odd jobs under his grandfather's shaman was quite believable..
The eye patch that gives off a somewhat mysterious atmosphere, as well as the tattoos all over the body..
It's just that he has a young body, but if you look at his appearance, he looks like a decent shaman..
but…….
“Now, stop, sit down, and take off your jacket. Little warrior.”
When I see him speaking his lines in an acting tone with his childish voice deliberately lowered, it really breaks me out. Well, his eyes are actually fine, but he probably didn't wear an eyepatch for style.?
Sigh.
Although I thought it was ugly, I sat down and took off my clothes, and the baby shaman suddenly placed his hand on my shoulder..
and…….
“You have already contained the soul power of an immortal in your body..”
The shaman, who immediately figured out the route I had taken, lowered his hand to my chest and groped me like a pervert..
“Then let’s see how far we have reached the extreme..”
A voice that seems to have the mindset of “I could have done so much.”.
It didn't take long for that voice to change..
Sigh.
The hand gesture starts from the shoulder, moves down to the chest, and then moves towards the side where the lat muscles are located..
This is the place where the 3rd stage of immortal imprinting treatment was performed..
The starting point of the first engraving specialization.
“Hehehe, you chose the spirit of the wild..”
I got [Wild Eruption] here.
If you are a tank, you must first have the skills to increase your threat level.?
“You seem young, but you already accepted your soul, you must have put in quite a bit of effort.—”
The shaman, who had been saying something in an admirable tone, stiffened in shock. Before he knew it, his hands were moving beyond his lats and onto his back..
At this point, I seriously thought about getting punched in the face..
Everything is fine, but if you do this, your face will get closer..
The posture is as if you are holding me in front of you..
Sigh.
Soon the shaman's hand moved up the back and reached the nape of the neck..
“Oh, the spirit vein has already been penetrated? quite—”
Level 4 imprint with increased mental and soul power values..
The hand went up the nape of my neck and back to the front panel, reaching the area where my heart was..
“…Even the energy and energy vessels were opened.?”
Seeing a slightly embarrassed voice coming out, it seems that after listening to the Marquis' explanation, he thought he would do some low-level engraving and then go back..
Something suddenly bothered me, so I forcibly removed the shaman's hand..
“W-what are you doing! The sublime consciousness that reads your path now—”
No, I mean it's not a waste of time.?
“Spiritual veins, energy veins, whatever, stop groping. Even the soul of the weapon has been engraved..”
“If it's the soul of Mu-gu... They even opened draft beer……?”
6When the shaman heard that the step engraving had been completed, his body flinched once..
However, did you think it was too undignified?.
“Oh, did you know? A very precious offering is needed to carve the next engraving.—”
“Oh, if it's the soul of the dead, you don't have to worry because I already brought it with you..”
“…….”
It is unclear why a warrior, rather than a shaman, should lead the imprinting ritual, but this would have provided all the information necessary to engrave the imprint..
“Enough of the conversation, how about we get started?.”
While saying that, I laid down on the bed that seemed to have been prepared for me..
However, no matter how long I waited, the procedure did not start..
“Shaman, what are you doing??”
“…Please wait a moment. Before starting the ritual, you have time to catch your breath and concentrate.—”
What is mental focus?.
To put it simply, I'm just nervous..
As soon as I sensed a sense of discomfort, I immediately raised my upper body..
And I spoke out the doubts I had..
Well, it really can't be like that..
“Shaman, you can't believe it…….”
“…….”
“Have you never done a high level engraving before??”
“……There were no warriors who wanted to receive it, but everyone learned how to do it..”
Wow, this suddenly makes me anxious..
***
I felt like I had become a textbook for a young shaman to gain experience, but there was no other option..
It's like telling me to call the old witch doctor..
Since he doesn't recognize me, I think it would be better to get it from him..
Besides, isn't his name an official shaman?.
The engraving will be done properly..
I thought so.
Until the first needle pricked my skin.
deeply.
“Ahhhh!”
“……!”
deeply.
“Wow!!”
“……?”
deeply.
“Are you tilting your head? Damn, you're weird, but I stabbed you.?”
“…That's not true.!”
“Nope—”
“Everything is going well, just stay still.!”
deeply.
“Wow!!”
Did the soul imprint originally hurt this much??
I felt like I was going crazy when I did it before, but I don't think it was to this extent..
deeply.
deeply.
deeply.
Puuk-!
Time passes slowly, and the more vivid pain continues to marinate the brain..
How long has it been since then?.
“It's all over.…….”
The moment the shaman, who looked exhausted, finally spoke the words he had been desperately waiting for..
「Activated Immortal Engraving Level 7.」
A foreign energy seeps into my body, which seemed to have no energy left..
A slightly different feeling compared to when you drink purified water and your stats increase..
Looking at this, it looks like the engraving itself has been completed properly.…….
「The special ability ‘Restoration Power’ is created..」
Recovery power is a similar stat to muscle mass..
If the total strength stat is increased by 1% per unit of muscle mass, the repair power corrects all healing and regeneration effects in proportion to the value..
Well, it's not as obvious as strength, so it's hard to feel it right away.…….
「Body stats increase by +120.」
There must have been a significant stat increase in numbers..
Special abilities that cannot be acquired with integers are proportional to the value of the main ability..
My strength level right now is probably around 120.?
“Hehehehehe…….”
A great reward worth the hardships.
As I was splitting the thread, forgetting about the pain, the shaman next to me let out a strange exclamation..
“…This is the first time someone smiles even after having a new soul engraved on their body..”
“That's probably because you have no experience. Warriors usually smile when times are tough..”
“Not like that… … ! how many warriors have i—”
What do you think, how much would it have been if they had done the engraving procedure during the 2 years and 6 months I was gone?.
“Oh, yes, thank you for your hard work..”
As strength was slowly returning to my body, I got up from where I was lying down..
I didn't notice it because the curtains were closed when I arrived and the surroundings were filled with candles, but it was already night..
‘I said it might be late, so I won't worry..’
Shaman, I will return to the shrine on my own, either today or tomorrow morning, so I just took my outer clothes and went out..
The person who guided me earlier was waiting in front..
But why is your expression like that??
As if scared of something…….
“I… Are you okay??”
Oh, if you were in front, you would have heard me screaming. Since you don't know the story behind the engraving, you'll wonder if something was done inside..
“Okay, I'm going back now, but can I just leave??”
An expectant question as to whether they could prepare a carriage as they did when they arrived..
At this, the employee cautiously opened his mouth..
“Mr. Schuitz, the Marquis asks to see you..”
“Marquis……?”
When I asked again without knowingly using the honorific title, the employee's face looked disgusted as if he had made a mistake..
But couldn't he have pointed it out to the customer's face??
“Yes, ‘Marquis’ is waiting for you. Please go quickly.”
A person who puts an accent on an honorific and takes the lead in leading me somewhere..
Okay, I need to be more careful around other people..
Because you can't out someone who's still a barbarian..
Meeeee profit.
The place we arrived at was the Marquis' study..
As I entered, the Marquis took his eyes off his papers, glanced at me, sent the servant away, and only after the door was completely closed did he say hello to me..
“How was the engraving completed? Baron Yandel.”
“Thanks to. But why did you call me again??”
Because he was tired, he got straight to the point, but as always, the Marquis did not blame him for being rude..
Just do what I want.
“I have something to tell you right now..”
The Marquis gets straight to the point without even showing off his displeasure..
But does this guy even know??
The more you show kindness, the less trustworthy you become and the more wary you become..
“It's something to inform... what?”
“The first is that the people you wanted to recruit have been persuaded..”
The Marquis then said that the magician was able to recruit the person I designated, but the priest refused, so the magician who had been selected as Plan B joined..
Tsk, if I had become a priestess, I would have had a lot of options..
“Anyway, since you said it was the first one, I guess there will be a second one too.?”
“That's right. In fact, it's enough to convey in writing later..”
“I’m curious, so tell me quickly..”
“Tomorrow, the heads of each team are planning to have a meeting. If possible, I plan to induce the position of general commander to be decided on the spot..”
“……Tomorrow, so suddenly?”
“Isn't the labyrinth opening soon? There was a lot of talk that even if we couldn't go on a big operation right away, we had to finish organizing the system. Is there any problem??”
“No, there isn't. Like you said, it's better to finish something like this early. So how do you decide on a commander??”
“Didn't I tell you? They said they would do judo. Since all five teams have their backs, he will want to take on the role of commander..”
“To put it simply, the plan is to gather them all together and make them decide among themselves..”
“To summarize, I guess so. So is it okay??”
“Don't worry. I also don't want to roll under a frustrating guy..”
It's a special unit that goes on dangerous missions.?
I'd rather do it myself than watch some troll bastard sit in the expedition leader's chair and do stupid things..
Well, if there's the right person, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just relax behind the scenes..
“So where will we meet tomorrow??”
“I invited them to my home. We'll be having lunch together tomorrow..”
It's lunch tomorrow…….
This is the place anyway, but it’s a hassle to come back..
“Can I sleep here??”
“Of course. If you wish, I can help you contact the mansion right away. she'll worry about her.”
“Oh, I'd like to ask for that part..”
After talking for about 30 more minutes, with the help of the Marquis, I sent a message to Erwen and Amelia at home through the District 7 Magic Tower branch..
After that, I went into the room I stayed in last night, washed up, and got ready for bed..
Puuk-
A bed from an aristocratic family that is so soft that it cannot be compared to the bed at home..
As always on the day I finished engraving, as soon as I lay down, I felt sleepy..
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!!
I'm sure that strange guy won't come by in the middle of the night again..
***
next morning.
The face-to-face appointment was for lunch, but because he had to prepare for the Marquis's face, he got up early and started grooming himself with the help of employees..
Formal fit top and bottoms that fit well on neatly organized hair..
It's been a long time since I wore clothes like this.……
‘Not bad.’
When I looked in the mirror, I looked pretty good..
Is it because my physique has shrunk??
I don't feel as burdened as I used to..
“wait a little longer.”
“When I look out the window, it looks like some people have already arrived.?”
“Haven't they all arrived yet?.”
Since I stayed at the mansion for one night, I was able to finish getting ready early, but I continued to wait in my room..
If this was going to be the case, I thought it would be okay to just wait at the banquet hall, but they say noble families have respect for nobles.?
There seems to be a fight even when entering..
“Now, let's go. Everyone is waiting.”
Well, it's like this. There was no reason not to follow the Marquis' words, so I waited until the time was right and moved to the banquet hall with the Marquis..
Meeeee profit.
Users who wait nearby and open the door like an automatic door without having to use their hands..
“Meet the Marquis of Tercerion..”
“I didn't know that the Prime Minister would also attend the meal..”
“This is something I'm having a good time with today. I truly feel honored..”
Soon after the marquis arrived, the four men and women who had arrived all stood up at once and bowed, and only after receiving their greetings did the marquis return the favor..
“Haha, nice to meet you all. Considering your reputation, you may not have enough to prepare, but please enjoy yourself..”
With that said, the Marquis went to the head of the table and sat down..
As I had heard in advance, I sat in the seat immediately to the right of the Marquis..
and…….
“Bring me food.”
While the guests were filling the table, the Marquis led the introduction session as if he were arranging a blind date..
“There will be people who are meeting each other for the first time, so it would be better to first give each other full names. What is it like??”
“Yes, then can I start??’
The first person to step forward was the man sitting in front of me..
“Everyone is younger than me and they don't seem to have any nobility, so I'll speak a little more comfortably..”
Caught caught neatly in a well-dressed livery.
Check pattern embroidery on the top.
So his name is…….
“My name is Melend Kaislan..”
Ah, I remembered what the Marquis told me yesterday..
He was the youngest son of Count Kaislan and a veteran knight who entered the military at an early age and achieved many distinctions.?
Although he said he was the youngest son, he is over 40 and got married young and has several children..
“I spent decades in the military, which gave me an edge in combat. However, his command must be in a different area from combat. I have seen countless talented people lose their lives meaninglessly due to incompetent superiors..”
The guy who stood up to give a full statement first and then started a lengthy self-PR session..
“It's not that I'm ignoring you, but if any of us were to take on a position of responsibility, I don't think there would be anyone better suited than me..”
Is it because he is a veteran with a lot of experience??
He gives a military-style speech, and I can already feel how inflexible he is..
And it wasn't just me.
“…Oh my, wasn’t it just a place to make simple statements? This is it, don't burden the next person.”
The dwarf woman next to him smiled softly, turned to face him, and stood up..
“In that sense, I will do the next one..”
Hey, look at something natural.?
In fact, I knew who this woman was as soon as I saw her, even if she didn't reveal her name..
It's not common to see dwarf female explorers of that age.?
“This is Titana Akurava..”
Titana Akurava.
She doesn't seem to want to reveal her age, but everyone knows her age. 61.
Of course, due to the characteristics of a race that ages early and maintains that, it has a body that is much younger than that of humans of that age..
Well, what does age matter to that woman?.
“…Akuraba? Are you really Akuraba??”
When she soon revealed her name, the noble knight flinched and his eyes widened..
After all, she was a famous explorer.
No, I should say legendary.?
“No matter how much I am, I am not so courageous as to lie in front of the Marquis.?”
“that… I guess so. It was just that surprising. I heard you retired 10 years ago..”
Actually, I first heard about this woman from the Marquis..
9He was a member of the legendary team that explored the floor, but after retiring with the sudden disbandment of the team 10 years ago, he has never been seen in public..
In short, my generation is completely different..
“Hoho, I happen to be out in the world like this again. So can I keep talking? young knight?”
“……Of course.”
She soon silenced the intruding driver and took the time to promote herself just like the article did earlier..
“Among these people, I assure you that there is no one who knows more about the labyrinth than me. The same goes for the providence between explorers. Wouldn’t this be enough??”
A short speech that exudes confidence in yourself.
However, as soon as she sat down, another man stood up without even fading..
“Haha, I never thought I would meet one of my respected seniors like this. I'll do it this time.”
He was a man with a somewhat light atmosphere..
His characteristic feature is that his height is in his early 160s, making him slightly shorter among humans..
“This is James Calla, vice-captain of the Sawtooth Clan..”
Vice leader of Serrated Tooth, one of the largest clans that has been reduced from a teenage clan to a four major clan over the years..
This guy also followed the previous example and emphasized his strengths for a long time..
As he is working in a large clan, he is up to date with the latest information and is confident that he can synthesize all opinions and present a direction that will satisfy everyone.?
At first glance, it was an appeal aimed at old dwarves and stubborn knights, but I wasn't particularly impressed..
I just recalled the information I saw on paper one more time..
‘He was an archer?’
If there's anything to remember, that's it.
Soon after the vice-captain's introduction time was over, the paladin next to him stood up..
“This is Jun from Heindelism. The surname I used in the secular world is gone because I abandoned it..”
A short introduction that contrasts with the previous ones..
“…That's it?”
When the knight asked again, the paladin clicked his tongue with a slightly dissatisfied look in his eyes and continued speaking..
“There is nothing more unstable and dangerous than human will. Everything will go as it should, according to God's will..”
“Surprisingly, it appears that the Church of the Three Gods is not greedy about this mission..”
“…….”
The knight tried to say something and ask what the Church of the Three Gods wanted, but the paladin just didn't respond and chewed his words..
and…….
“now… That's the only one left.”
Before I knew it, it was my turn and interest gathered..
Everyone pretended not to be, but they were showing deep curiosity..
Well, you might be curious..
First of all, he was the representative of the Marquis, the second-in-command of the kingdom, and it must have been his first time seeing him..
Since there is no information, you may be a little wary..
It's good.
I pushed my chair back, stood up, and briefly said my name..
“It's Lihen Schuitz..”
I saw frowns everywhere..
‘That's all?’
Eyes that feel just like this.
This was even true for the Marquis..
Everyone was actively promoting themselves in front of me, so why am I standing still?.
‘Well, I urge you. lose shape.’
I had no intention of speaking in detail like the previous guys..
Well, it's obvious that everyone will hear it with one ear anyway, so why bother??
Sigh.
Soon, I slowly looked around and made eye contact with each person..
“A knight and a nobleman.”
He started out as a soldier from a noble family..
“A famous explorer.”
Next is the dwarf lady.
“It's a clan.”
The third is vice-captain.
“God, nabal, whatever..”
Finally, after looking down at the Holy Knight, he spoke clearly..
“I don't listen to those who are weaker than me.”
When it comes to self-PR, the shorter it is, the more intense it is..
