Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 447
447angry party (4)
Since I didn't know what would come out of the secret subspace of the Rose Knights, I decided to open it one by one in order..
And the first is military wizard Lilith Marone..
“It's a box……?”
What came out of her subspace was a wood carving box..
Small enough to barely fit one or two books.
“There are no special magical measures. Just open it..”
I opened the box as soon as I received Versil's permission..
and…….
“uh…….”
“This…….”
An awkward exclamation came from the mouths of the crew members who checked the items inside the wood carving box..
This is because the contents were very different from what I expected..
“All I need is some cash, some fake IDs, and a portrait.…….”
“…Who is the portrait? Is it family??”
“I think so. If you see hand stains all over the place,.”
What's this…….
“All right, next! Let's open the next one.!”
Even saying that we were exhausted was not enough, but the crew, including myself, did not give up hope and resumed the subspace opening ceremony..
“Likewise, cash and ID… And here's a strange pill?”
The pills that came out of the second box were very familiar to Amelia and me..
“It is an elixir called Lethe's blessing..”
“……Mr. Raines, do you know this??”
“Yes, it has the effect of erasing the subject's memory when taken. It's an elixir created by an alchemist in Noark. I wonder how the royal family found out how to make it..”
“This… Maybe one day it will come in handy. How many memories can you erase??”
“Well, maybe it's been improved, but the form is a little different from what I used to know..”
“is that so… … . Looking at them, they are all different sizes. For some reason, it seems like the bigger it gets, the more memories it will erase... I will check this in the lab..”
third, fourth, fifth…….
The opening ceremony of Aspace ended in an instant..
“…It's that pill that's called Lethe's blessing or something..”
“There's some kind of poison here..”
“…It's a strongly acidic solution. I think it was used when destroying something. For example, a corpse…….”
The sub-space that I thought was a treasure chest was, unfortunately, an empty space. Well, it's not like there wasn't anything useful other than Lethe's blessing..
“Sir Kaislan, could you please look at this notebook??”
It was an item from the sixth subspace..
“This… It seems to be the name of three works released by the royal family..”
A list containing the names of informants of the royal family who are working undercover in various organizations under false pretenses..
Once again, I felt the power of the royal family..
“From the looks of it, this seems to be only a small portion of the many sources of information..”
“There are so many… That's part of it.?”
“Look. Aren't most of the informants concentrated on the power of a certain noble family? Perhaps the owner of this subspace was carrying out a personal mission related to that noble family..”
“This list... It's just a source of information needed to carry out that one personal mission.?”
“Of course it's just my guess..”
That's what Kaislan said, but I couldn't think of any other possibilities..
“They say the eyes and ears of the royal family are everywhere, but I never thought they would be like this.…….”
After those words, a heavy silence came for a moment..
This is what all the crew members felt indirectly..
The real power of the royal family that we will have to deal with in the future..
“Anyway, good job..”
I opened my mouth in silence as if nothing had happened..
“Bersil, I will keep this list. Because I might have something to write about someday..”
This matter will soon be concluded by taking a separate list..
“By the way, this is the last time.”
The crew's eyes lit up at my words..
As the opening ceremony of Aspace progressed, the high expectations subsided, but I still wondered if this time would be a little different..
“…That was her subspace.?”
Six of the Rose Knights.
I don't know if he's the leader or vice-leader, or if he's just a rank-and-file member, but one thing is clear..
She took on the role of commander that day..
but…….
“…This time it's wood carving again..”
I did not give up my expectations until the end, and even to say that the contents of the opened box were simple was not enough..
cash.
ID.
Lethe's Blessing.
and…….
A document contained in letterhead with the seal broken..
“This…….”
It was an order from the royal family..
If the expedition comes back alive, it contains instructions to destroy them at Ice Rock..
“I can use it.”
It wasn't a bad income.
***
After the opening ceremony of Aspace.
I received all the equipment I brought from the labyrinth..
“What will happen to these devices in the future??”
“First of all, I will slowly dispose of the equipment I obtained from the Noark guys, taking as much time as possible. And that money will become our military funds in the future..”
“I guess so…….”
In fact, most of the loot obtained from the expedition was handed over to me and the authority to use it was entrusted to me, but surprisingly, there were no complaints..
I was happy about the trust, but I was a little worried..
‘Well, it would be perfect to get scammed..’
What if the person sitting in the captain's seat wasn't a good and responsible barbarian like me??
“Yandel, by the way, what do you plan on doing with the Rose Knights’ equipment? If it were disposed of in that condition, it would surely attract the attention of the royal family..”
“Oh, if that's the case, I plan to arrange for a suitable blacksmith and reprocess them one by one. It is true that selling it is dangerous, but it is also a high-quality material that it would be a waste to sell it..”
The plan is to melt Mystium, a metal of the same level as Ark, and cut Ogre leather, a grade 5 material, along the seam line and produce it with other equipment..
Of course, even if you do everything, the amount will not be much..
Even if you melt down all the daggers, Mystic will be difficult to make even a single armor, and in the case of leather, the loss rate during the reprocessing process will be significant..
“We plan to decide together later what to make with the collected materials, so if there is someone who wants the materials, please bring a reason that everyone can understand..”
It might seem like a good idea to make a Mystic shield, but a leader shouldn't pursue personal glory..
Public funds will be used fairly and only for the benefit of the group..
Well, they didn't seem to be very interested..
“Rather, I want to talk about it soon. I heard that a clan was founded a few days ago... … . When can we join??”
“Ah, in that case, Versil has set the time in order, at least briefly..”
“Oh my, really? When will I be??”
“Miss Marrone, about three months later. I think it would be neatest for him to retire due to friction with his superiors. If you think of a better reason, please let me know in advance..”
“Oh, then when will I?”
“Lord Kaislan... … . Among us, he is the latest. Because you have a position. When interest in us becomes a little less... I think it would be natural to stay at least a year and then join..”
“I guess so…….”
“Kala, you said you were kicked out of the clan a while ago, right? She should take a break for two months and express her intention to join another clan. There will be no clan that will accept it anyway..”
“…….”
“I searched for a new home, but couldn't find it, so I joined Yandel's clan, which was my previous connection to the expedition. As expected, there is a lot less discomfort this way.?”
“If you say you will accept it... What should I do then??”
“Then, ask for recognition of your previous experience as vice-captain and ask for a higher position. I'm sure they'll tell you to turn it off immediately. You can trust me because I have experience working in human resources..”
As those words continued, James Carla frowned, unable to say anything..
“Ah, Lord Parab.…….”
Bersil’s logical briefing continued like that for a while..
It was pretty impressive.
Is it because it combines the attributes of a wizard, the former clan vice-leader, and the attributes of a modern person??
You really handle things like a knife..
‘What did you do on Earth??’
Anyway, as time passed and the briefing was over, questions were asked to me..
“Explosive sword Einar Pnellin, how much does she know about us??”
“I don't know anything. So, everyone, be careful what you say the next time you meet..”
“I guess so…….”
“By the way, there are already two members of the Chilgang, so if we join here... Even if you don't want to attract attention, it will attract a lot of attention, right? Huhuhu.”
“Hmm, Parav, you think you're at that level.?”
“……Oh, isn't it? No, your external reputation may fall a little, but... … . uh…….”
“I am curious about the unit called Auyen Lokrobe. It's my first time hearing that name. Is he trustworthy??”
In the case of our navigator, it was not I, but Amelia, who answered for us..
“Trustworthy. I guarantee it.”
After similar questions were asked, the topic changed again..
This time it was about what happened at the victory ceremony, and when I told him about our decision to enter Melveth, our next plan naturally came to the fore..
However, since I cannot explain everything here, I have presented only a brief vision..
“As we have many enemies, our enemies also have many enemies..”
“…….”
“And there's a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend..”
Create a clan, establish a family, and steadily build a wall to protect us, while increasing the number of companions as much as possible..
That's the key to my plan..
To give shit to the guys who threw us in that hell..
***
After the serious talk was over, we had a comfortable conversation in a lighter atmosphere..
“How about Lord Kaislan? Was there any interrogation after returning from the expedition??”
“There was, but it was listening rather than interrogation. I didn't use any verification magic or anything..”
We asked each other what we were up to..
“Mr. Gowland, do you have any medicine to help you sleep??”
“yes. I'll give it to you if you need it.”
“You don't ask why.”
“Actually, I also have a hard time sleeping. after that day.”
Some people get help.
“You said Mr. Marrone... … . What are you painting on those nails??”
“Oh, this? Pretty, right? It's popular among wizards these days. Tercia, I want to try it too.?”
Some simply talked about their hobbies for a while..
It was such an amazing thing..
I was a complete stranger until I entered the labyrinth a month ago..
“…….”
I sat alone on the sofa in the corner and looked around..
Unlike the royal banquet, there was no fancy royal cuisine or expensive wine. It's just that the tenant goes out and rents an empty building and talks inside..
But still I thought.
As expected, this type of banquet is much more enjoyable for me..
“Well then I guess I'll just have to go.”
As always, the fun time passed quickly..
In the evening, we left one by one, effectively ending our expedition party's after-party, and Erwen, Amelia, and I also returned home..
And two days later.
“Going to the library? this morning?”
I left the house in the morning, receiving questioning looks from Amelia and Erwen..
That's something I realized later too..
[Three days later, I will be waiting for you at the place where we first met..]
There was no time written on the note..
Ragnar, he doesn't look like that either, so if you look at him, he's really going to be a mess..
“Phew…….”
As I was walking along the familiar streets of District 7, my destination soon came into view..
[Labigion National Library]
In the early days of my awakening from this savage body, the very place where I lived as if it were my home..
However, as soon as I arrived, I was shocked..
This is because there was a sign in front of the library saying it was closed today..
‘……I didn't think of this case.’
What do we do? Should I just wait here like this? Yeah, well then at least there won't be any conflict..
I was thinking about that..
Again, again.
As I was lingering in front of the door, a woman approached me with the sound of her shoes clattering..
As soon as we made eye contact, my body flinched..
“Meet Baron Yandel..”
Black hair, black eyes, and even a black skirt..
A woman whose everything is black except for her white shirt.
“Please come this way. The Count is waiting—”
“Wrong.”
“……yes?”
I looked at the woman I had met for the first time and tilted her head and said clearly,.
“Today I am not a baron, but a captain..”
“…….”
“The ‘Anavada’ clan, which was founded a few days ago,.”
Despite my somewhat unexpected words, the woman did not show any significant change in expression..
Just show a business smile and reply like this.
“I see. I will be careful about titles from now on. Director Yandel.”
“thanks. Because I somehow feel that way today.”
“That feeling... Are you saying?”
“Ah, doesn’t the leader look stronger than the baron?.”
“……okay.”
A woman who blurts out her positive meaning even though she probably doesn't even understand the difference..
I asked the woman secretly.
“Do you even know what anavada means??”
The answer came back immediately.
“I understand that it means a group of wild beasts in ancient language..”
“Uh, uh… Yeah, right... … . I know it too?”
I looked sullen, like a barbarian who had lost the opportunity to show off his knowledge. Then the woman pretended not to see and opened the locked door of the library..
“Please come this way. The Count is waiting.”
Soon the woman walked in front of me, and I followed behind her and ate her food..
Again, again.
Write, this looks like a wise star just by looking at it..
