Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 455
455Hwa Barbarian Revolution (4)
The first day I opened my eyes in this world is the clearest even compared to other memories..
My mind went blank due to the unfamiliar language I understood, but even in that situation, I tried to understand the situation as best as I could..
Then I felt a sense of déjà vu..
For some reason, this situation feels like the beginning of [Dungeon & Stone].
‘at there… one person died.’
I even clearly remember the name.
Oreum, son of Kadua.
It is unknown how many times he would have entered this world after waking up, but his head was cut off less than 5 minutes after he opened his eyes..
and…….
‘There were quite a few. Those guys.’
As a tribal leader, I looked at past records and found that, on average, about one player was executed at the coming-of-age ceremony over the past 10 years..
Well, these days, the popularity of the cheat version may have waned, but the average value is gradually decreasing.…….
‘I guess there are still kids who do it..’
It's such a pity.
‘Tsk, how did I get into games like that?.’
Of course, that doesn't mean the fault is with them..
If you ask where the responsibility lies, there is only one..
‘damn old man.’
Auril Gavis.
[Creator of [Dungeon & Stone]…….
「you have reached the abyss.」
「Tutorial completed.」
The person who kidnapped countless players by showing just this phrase.
‘If you're going to do a tutorial, do it right.’
As I look at the newbie's expression full of fear, old memories come to mind..
Of course, the time spent reminiscing was extremely short..
If you keep doing that, you're sure to get noticed by other fighters..
“Everyone is quiet!”
After a short shout, the baby barbarians all calmed their excitement and fell silent, and I continued with the coming-of-age ceremony..
Of course it wasn't the way it used to be..
That's because it can help in a much more natural way. There might be a newbie hiding somewhere that I couldn't find..
“Putil's second son Makal!”
I went directly to the young warrior, called his name, and tapped him on the shoulder..
“Come out and pick your weapon.!”
“i get it!!!!!”
Perhaps moved by the warm support and encouragement of the tribe leader, the young warrior ran screaming at the top of his lungs..
“A two-handed axe! excellent!”
From then on, I called out the names of the warriors in order and encouraged them, and occasionally gave hints that would help the newbies understand the current situation..
“From today, you are a warrior. May the blessings of ‘Rapdonia’ be with you.!”
How much time has passed like that?.
Eventually, it was the turn of the newbie I had my eye on..
“Kiltaw's third son, Bekta.!”
When I put my hand on my shoulder and make a sound, I feel a tremor that I can't hide..
But I opened my mouth without knowing.
“Come out and choose your weapon to begin your journey!”
“…i get it!!”
Compared to other fighters, his timing was slow and his voice was quiet..
but…….
‘Still, you have a sense of humor..’
First of all, seeing him imitate other warriors, I think he will survive quite well as he gains experience.—.
‘huh?’
I soon saw the weapon he had chosen and burst out laughing..
“A shield…….”
When I mumble without realizing it, the guy flinches as if he did something wrong..
‘I never would have thought that Shield Baba was a newbie..’
I passed the stiff guy and went to the display stand where the shield was hanging..
And I personally handed him the item he had left behind..
“take it.”
I patched it with the authority of the tribal leader so that when you choose a shield, you are given a small one-handed hammer..
“Bekta, the third son of Kiltaw! This made you a warrior.!”
After a moment of confusion due to the situation being different from the game, he received the hammer from me and returned to his original position..
Although he tried to pretend that nothing had happened, his expression was full of dismay..
‘Well, I guess I need some time alone to gather my thoughts..’
At this point, I paid no attention to the newbies and continued with the coming-of-age ceremony, and before I knew it, the last warrior had chosen his own weapon..
“Warriors!”
However, there was a brief speech before heading into the city..
Well, should I say review more accurately??
“Finally, everyone repeats it together. A good looter?”
“Just a dead raider.!!!”
“Explorer's Guild?”
“don't believe!!”
“When I met Hans in the labyrinth?”
“Can not be done! Go away! If you don't want to lose!”
The reason for having these young warriors review was simple..
Since ancient times, reviewing is not only something that can be done but not enough..
Aren't there some newbies among them?.
“Okay then…….”
There was one last piece of information I needed to tell you..
“What should we do when we encounter an ‘evil spirit’ that has taken over our body while we were living well??”
The very thing that may be most important to the player's survival..
“kill!!”
If you're a player, you'll die..
***
“Open the door!”
As soon as my cry rings out, the gate of the wall that separates the sanctuary from the city opens..
The voices of the young warriors, who had dreamed of this day countless times as they grew up in the Holy Land, began to tremble with excitement..
“Lapdonia……!”
Normally, it would have been timing to shout out to you all to move towards your destiny without saying much. However, I led the young warriors and entered the city myself..
“……what? It is said that the tribal leader serves as the leader.?”
That's the way to go anyway.
I shouldn’t have to go into the labyrinth either..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
“It is clear that we too will become great warriors.!!”
The warriors were once again thrilled that the tribal leader himself served as a guide. While admiring its simplicity, I quickly led the warriors to the center of the city..
and…….
“Meet Baron Yandel..”
I met with the guild wizard at a pre-arranged location and received the ‘Bonding’ spell..
Of course, not for me, but for the young warriors..
As I was making pairs of three or four, some warriors asked me questions..
“…Tribal leader! Originally, I heard that you had to do your first exploration on your own.……?”
“right! When I was young, I heard it was a tradition too.!”
Damn tradition.
How many warriors fell to their rescue on their first expedition because of that damned tradition?.
For a moment, the desire to scold me rose up to the tip of my throat, but…….
“stupid guys!!!”
There was someone who stepped forward before me..
It was Einar, the first elder of our barbarians..
“Yandel's son Bjorn is the tribal chief.!”
“However, no matter how tribal a leader is, tradition—.”
“From today, everything the tribal leader says becomes tradition! So whatever it is, you have to follow it carefully.!”
It may have been a bit dictatorial, but it was a persuasive logic. Of course, our species has a reasonable objection system in place..
“If you don't like the new traditions, change it when you become the tribal leader in the future! Do you understand??”
If you interpret it, it means that if you tease them, they will attack you..
Fortunately, warriors who grew up in the laws of nature easily accepted that logic..
“…Right. understood!”
Okay, then this problem is over..
“excuse me… The price is…….”
“we are here.”
After the bonding was completed, the fee was paid to the guild wizard..
“Good job today. Well then, good luck next month too..”
“ah… Yes, Baron.…….”
The wizard, who unusually worked overtime and even went on a business trip, left with a look of disgust at my words promising the next time..
But eventually, we will meet again next month..
If I go to the guild branch leader and ask for a 'favor' like this time, what can a mere wizard do?.
“It's a labyrinth!!”
“Ooooh! That's it……!!!”
“It feels like something unknown is pulling my body.!!”
Anyway, after the payment was completed, I led the warriors back to the dimensional plaza..
Therefore, the duty of the tribal leader ends here..
There was no need for any more long words..
“Go, warriors.!”
As soon as my permission was given, the young warriors made their way through the crowd towards the portal..
“Oooooooh!!”
Einar chuckled as he saw me watching him from behind..
“Bjorn, why are you looking so worried??”
That's because it's like a child thrown into the water..
If as many people as possible come back alive, our tribe will become more and more wealthy.…….
“Don't worry. In our time, everyone came back alive even in worse environments, didn't they?!”
Bavarian-style comfort mixed with repertoire from the past.
But, strangely enough, I felt quite at ease..
In fact, the barbarians' training methods so far have been too hardcore, and I also don't want to raise them like plants in a greenhouse..
In the end, what makes people grow the most is crisis..
What you learn from a crisis is engraved in your bones and cannot be easily forgotten. Even if you want to forget it.
“mister!!”
After putting the warriors into the labyrinth, they walked around the dimensional plaza and joined their teammates..
“It's late.”
Amelia scolded me while looking at her watch, and the navigator next to her, Auyen Lockrobe, greeted me nervously..
“Are you here? Clan leader!”
It's been a while since I put on all my gear..
“Thank you so much for letting me follow along.!”
The guy's voice was full of sincerity..
Well, I ended up being locked in the basement for over a few days..
But is it because he was the one who tried to rob me??
Not even an ounce of sympathy arises..
I repeat, the only good looters are dead looters. Unless you treat it this strongly in the first place, it may be impossible to trust it and take it with you..
“Emily.”
“Don't worry. I will keep a close watch inside the labyrinth..”
It was an open conversation in front of Au Yan, but the person in charge stayed silent, pretending not to have heard anything..
There was no one asking me to trust you or saying I would do well..
‘When you see things like this, you definitely have a quick sense of insight..’
But should I call this good or bad?…….
“I… Bjorn? Shouldn’t I go now??”
“ah… okay.”
The brilliant portal was also slowly decreasing in size, so I slowly walked towards it..
and…….
「1I entered the crystal cave on the first floor..」
Thus began Clan Anavada's first exploration..
***
A crystal cave with a subtle purple glow.
“North.”
“It's north.
“It's towards the goblin forest..”
Upon entering, three people opened their mouths at the same time..
It was me, Rotmiller's best disciple, Amelia, the guide, and Erwen, who had been trained as an explorer by her older sister..
“…….”
“…….”
A strange incident that occurred when a team of only five people had three guides..
“Hehehe.”
“I was a little faster. Than that woman.”
“…….”
“Hahaha! Are you kids? Compete with something like that!”
As Einar laughed out loud, Erwen glared at her without hiding his displeasure..
Of course, that kind of glance didn't work at all..
“Aren’t those nice eyes, Erwen?!”
Einar nods his head as if he likes it..
“……?”
When Erwen frowned as if he had encountered an incomprehensible creature, Einar shrugged his shoulders..
“It means you look happy! Unlike the last time I saw you!”
I flinched at those words..
Well, if it was the last time I saw you... I'm probably talking about the day I heard it from Raven..
I thought Einar must have stepped on a land mine..
but…….
“……What is he saying now.”
Surprisingly, Erwen didn't get very angry..
I just avoid eye contact, looking somewhat embarrassed..
‘Yeah, he was rather weak in this area.…….’
Maybe it's a good thing Einar came in..
To be honest, Amelia didn't feel a little overwhelmed taking care of Erwen by herself..
‘He also seems to have become a bit meaner these days.…….’
The car that was thinking like that.
“Well then, let’s go! The thought of being able to explore with Bjorn again means I haven't been able to calm down since a while ago.!!”
Einar took the lead first, and I laughed and stopped him..
“Einar, where are you going alone??”
“huh? Since we started from the north, we are going north! I now know the basic route! I know how to use a compass!”
Although the growth over the past few years has been remarkable,…….
“The place we are going today is not the Goblin Forest..”
When Amelia answered clearly, Einar tilted his head..
“…oh? is it? Then where is it? Is it the land of the dead??”
“It is a rocky desert. Hmm, that's strange. The exploration plan must have been shared before.……”
“Oh sorry! I forgot!”
“……That's right.”
While Amelia, who was dealing with a True Barbarian for the first time, was speechless, I quickly resolved the situation..
Because I can't waste time here forever.
“Um, then…….”
Who should I ask to be my guide?.
Amelia, the guide like last time? Or, this time, Erwen.?
I was a little worried, but I made a quick decision..
“…I am the guide!”
The main point of today's exploration is to coordinate hands and feet..
I decided that it was right to minimize hurt feelings for either of them..
“yes? There is no need for you to do it—.”
“What are you saying! All these troublesome things are done separately. Now, everyone, quickly follow me.!”
After interrupting Erwen, I quickly took the lead..
Still, there was quite a lot to do on this expedition..
Although Einar doesn't seem to remember anything…….
‘Thanks to you, I don't have any doubts no matter what I do.’
This is actually an advantage.
In the past, the team couldn't properly utilize their game knowledge just because they were concerned about Raven..
「2I entered the rocky desert..」
Now, let's try guessing the hands and feet..
Let’s slowly look back at the low-level raids first..
