Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 42
42Fire Wizard and Barbarian (2)
pop-
After communication is lost.
There was silence in her laboratory for a while..
Well, you probably didn't expect it at all..
At first I was just trying to extract some money, but how could I have known that I would suddenly have to pay five million stone in compensation?.
‘Everyone here lacks imagination..’
Actually, it wasn't like there was no way she could win the argument..
If you had asked the same question to any level 9 explorer who makes a living each day, the answer would have been something along the lines of "Thank you for your help.".
The argument would never have been defeated like this..
However, the person she was communicating with was an explorer who clearly seemed capable..
‘When you say teacher, you probably mean master, but there's no way a person who personally knows someone like that is an ordinary explorer..’
This served as a decisive defeat..
So now it's time to take the fruit—
“LOL! A barbarian who can defeat a wizard with words, he's more amazing than I've heard.?”
The person who opened the door wide and entered without knocking was a white-haired old man with wrinkled skin..
However, an unusual feature is that there is no curve in the waist and the person looks very fair for his age..
Although I was taken aback by the sudden intervention, I was soon able to guess the identity of this old man..
“Oh, I didn't introduce myself. As for Nobu, he is the teacher of the lady you just made cry..”
“Oh, I didn't cry.!”
Raven's Teacher.
In other words, he is the master of Artemion, a large school that independently uses as many as five floors in the Magic Tower..
In some ways, he can be said to be as big a figure as the regional head we met earlier, no, in some ways even bigger..
“Anyway, I listened to the conversation between the two of you..”
“yes? Did you hear that? Soundproofing magic must be working.—”
“Ah, in that case, I guess it needs to be strengthened a little more. There were so many empty parts in the recipe..”
Just by looking at the way they spoke, it felt like I was meeting an old man in the neighborhood, but since the position was a position, I felt intimidated for some reason..
There was something I did to a student who seemed to be very important to me..
“Sigh, you completely destroyed my magic circle. I think it would have been difficult for even a teacher to destroy it without me noticing... What was the reason for eavesdropping like that??”
The old man chuckled..
“The youngest student is the first to be male. I brought a barbarian that was still alive after a long time, so wouldn't you be curious??”
But something said strangely..
“state of being alive?”
As I mumbled without realizing it, the old man laughed heartily again..
“LOL! Because most of them come dead! Or is it just a heart being delivered?!”
“……?”
“Make your face brighten. It's just a joke. It's a joke.!”
Oh, I see.
Is this really a wizard joke??
Since I am also a barbarian who knows how to read the mood, I responded with a cheerful smile instead of a straight face..
“ha ha ha! I want to break your head off!”
AKA Bavarian Joke.
“…What, what??”
But why aren’t you smiling??
Oh, I didn't do that..
“ha ha ha! It was a joke!”
No matter what bullshit you say, you can just say it was a joke later, right??
“So, make a face and smile. gaffer!”
“Nah, old man……?”
“Oh, that was a joke too! ha ha ha!”
“…….”
The Master of the Artemion School, an old man for short, frowned as if he was uncomfortable with my joke..
When I checked the side, I saw Raven with her mouth wide open as if she couldn't believe this situation..
“…Mr. Yandel, are you crazy??”
Is this a polite expression, or just double insults?.
It's confusing because I used a mix of honorifics.…….
‘I made a mistake just now.’
Seeing him like this definitely makes me think I went a bit too far just now..
Is it natural??
Because you made this crazy joke about being a fucking barbarian in front of the head of a school in the Tower of Magic..
“ha… I should have noticed when I saw the guild do that.…….”
Still, it's a little unfair.
It may sound like an excuse, but you made a joke about a dead barbarian and all in front of a barbarian who came back from the dead this morning.?
“I think I took a defensive attitude without realizing it because I was so sensitive. I apologize if I offended you.”
It was truly a detailed explanation for the first time in a while, but Raven shouted as if she was not praying..
“What kind of defensive attitude is that?!”
“The best defense is offense.”
This is my theory that I have had my whole life since I was very young..
‘So what should I do to clean things up??’
I glanced at him and saw that the old man was still just standing there with blank eyes..
As the time of silence continued, it was a time when I began to genuinely worry about my safety..
“Hehehe! This is a very valuable friend.!”
The old man suddenly started talking loudly..
I don't know why, but I laughed along with the atmosphere..
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Hehehe! Very funny friend!”
Just by looking at the cancer, you can feel the old man's forced smile, but…….
If we do it well, I think we can move on like this..
“Never mind! Because Nobu is different from other little guys who are sensitive to every word they say..”
Even though I still feel resentment to say that, the corner of my mouth is trembling.…….
There's no need to talk about this.
‘I guess I know roughly what kind of character it is..’
I have a feeling about how to handle it..
“haha! What type of barbarian are you? The word old is a cancellation! How can you take our jokes so coolly? This is my first time seeing such a generous wizard.!”
Few people have ever seen a wizard in the first place..
Something to know.
“Lol, Nobu doesn't have that side. I feel like I can relate to you somehow.!”
“I agree.!”
The bloody air hangs in the air for a moment.
Hahahoho Raven looks at us starting to laugh and makes a bewildered expression..
“ha… What kind of situation is this??”
Well, I don't know..
And I'm sure that old man doesn't know what he's doing..
“I am Bjorn, son of Yandel! Great wizard! i want to know your name!”
“It's Bjorn Yandel! I've been hanging around with a bunch of little wizards, but now that I've met you, I feel relieved! Nice to meet you. Nobu is a man named Dayan Tvehirion.!”
For some reason, the old man also introduced himself in a loud voice..
However, the blood vessels standing out stiffly on the neck were enough to make viewers worry about their health.…….
Let's pretend we didn't see it.
“amazing! It's a voice that conveys the majesty of a man.!”
I, Jandel Bjorn.
He is a barbarian who knows how to live a social life to that extent..
***
“So what did I say to those little guys at that time?—”
“amazing!”
“huh? no word yet—”
“It will be amazing!”
After a few minutes of similar entertaining conversation,.
The old man must have come to his senses after bragging about himself, but like a snide snake, he quietly returned to the main topic..
“So, what do you plan on doing Aru??”
“Aru?”
“Ah, it's like a nickname for our youngest student..”
Did you get Aruman from Arua Raven??
This kind of culture seems to exist everywhere..
“Anyway, about the five million stones I mentioned earlier, if Nobu—”
“You can't make something happen that never happened..”
Social life mode for a while.
When I stopped talking with a straight face, the old man clicked his tongue..
“Ah, tsk, who said they wouldn’t give it to me? If it's okay with you, I'd like to replace Nobu with something else.…….”
Then the story will be different.
“Something?”
“This is it..”
The old man put his hand inside the robe he was wearing and pulled out a box the size of his palm..
However, I was more interested in the robe he was wearing than the box..
‘Could it be that there is a subspace attached to the robe itself??’
Well, even if you ask for that, they won't give it to you.?
“What should I do? Hurry and open it.”
I opened the box and found a ring inside..
“It's an item called Frost Spirit Ring..”
“Frost Spirit Ring?”
As I muttered to myself, the old man continued to explain more about the ring, but there was no need to listen..
Because it was something I was familiar with..
“Even though it is in the 9,000th range, if you are an explorer, you would know this. How precious is the Number Item?.”
number item.
It can only be obtained from the Guardians of the Rift, and each one has its own special ability..
In fact, excluding ‘crafting’ and ‘discovery’, number items are the only way to supply equipment in [Dungeon & Stone]..
Of course, most are expensive regardless of the number..
but…….
“You are so lucky too. I probably wouldn't have given this to you if I didn't like it.—”
“Well, isn't it a product that no one uses?.”
No.9425 Frost Spirit Ring.
3Frost Spirit Ring, which drops only from cracks below the level, has only one unique ability..
Please note that this is not a helpful ability in battle; it seals one of the essences absorbed by the wearer..
Of course, the stats are applied as is, and only the skills are sealed.…….
‘In that case, it would be cheaper to remove the essence from the temple..’
think about it.
As time goes by, leveling up becomes astronomically difficult..
However, if you wear this ring, all the Essence skills you have acquired will become ineffective..
It's like one skill slot disappears completely..
A forward-thinking explorer would rather erase the essence from the temple and take a new essence than wear this ring..
“But it's definitely a very useful item for you, isn't it??”
Well, that's definitely true.
In the beginning, stats are more important than the combination of skills. Moreover, even though the Corpse Golem's skills are poor, the stats themselves are quite high..
‘Considering that you can use the skill again by removing the ring at any time, it's not a bad item. Just by itself.’
I finished calculating in my head..
Actually, I didn't even think about refusing from the beginning..
The abilities I just outlined were only a small part of the true value of this ring..
‘Even though I've thought about it a few times, I see no mention of it at all... You really don't seem to know about that event.?’
Wizards are the highest intellectuals in this worldview..
However, I was convinced after seeing that Raven did not know how to obtain the 'Tear of the Goddess' hidden under the statue in 'Blood Fortress'..
Well, in my eyes, they are all no different from newbies..
In any game, there is no one as easy to betray as a newbie..
“What are you so worried about? To be honest, this ring isn't worth five million stones. But it's not something you can get if you want..”
“Right.”
I nodded in agreement..
In the game, the auction house price was only about 1.5 million stones, but since there was no item for sale, this ring was obtained less than once in ten..
‘But to get this precious thing like this??’
In the first place, it was not expected that the full five million stones would be received..
Actually, that old man probably took this out with the intention of giving me some random useless item and sending it to him..
They're probably laughing at me, calling me a stupid barbarian..
“Thanks to you, I got something good. Write it well.”
Um, is that the same for me too??
“LOL, think of it as a gift from Nobu..”
I thought to myself as I looked at the old man smiling kindly..
If you do well, there will be a lot of things to do in the future..
We should be friendly as much as possible..
***
“Mr. Yandel, I guess it's a bit much for today, isn't it? You're probably tired after what you've been through, so let's talk about the rest when we meet again in two days.?”
“the sea I hoped for.”
After briefly deciding on a detailed time and place, Bjorn left the laboratory..
Afterwards, Raven looked at her teacher's thoughts..
“I'm sorry, Master. It was because of me.…….”
“That's okay, it wasn't sold anyway. That barbarian guy, you'll be pretty upset when you find out how much that ring costs later..”
“…is that so?”
Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be particularly angry about Bjorn he brought in..
Soon, Raven more comfortably confirmed what she had been curious about earlier..
“But why did you do that earlier??”
The teacher's attitude today was so foreign..
He hates rude people.
There was never any disparagement of fellow wizards, calling them idiots..
“Ah, in that case, there is one thing to check..”
“Confirmation??”
“You don't need to know that..”
She closed her mouth with a sullen expression..
From this, it became clear that there was some kind of intention in adjusting to Bjorn's tension.…….
Because once the Master appears like this, there is no way to know his intentions..
“Anyway, he was an unusual guy. It was so unique that I was looking forward to it without realizing it. I hope my thoughts are right…….”
“Are you going to keep doing that? If you were going to tell me, could you just let me know?!”
“I will tell you later when the time comes. Ah, when the time comes, write down in detail what happened with that barbarian and post it to me..”
“You won't tell me why?”
“I'll tell you when I'm sure..”
Soon her teacher left the laboratory, smiling politely as usual..
Looking at that empty seat made me feel uneasy..
‘What on earth are you thinking, Master??’
I wondered if I brought Bjorn here for no reason..
It was because it occurred to me that the people the teacher was interested in did not say anything good..
‘Oh, but that also applies to Mr. Yandel??’
9When she remembered him, who brought the guild to ruin in the body of a high-ranking explorer, she became somewhat uneasy..
‘Oh, really? Magic Tower is not some corner store..’
A guild and a magic tower are completely different..
They are not the type of group that can be swayed by a single barbarian..
definitely, definitely.
