Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 464
464angry proof (4)
The reward for defeating Liakis is simple..
After the raid, go to the cabin and enter the flames, your mental resistance will increase significantly, and your character will move to the Witch's Forest..
and…….
「Achievements achieved」
Condition: Defeat Riakis, Lord of Chaos.
Reward: Mental Resistance permanently increased by +50.
When you open the achievement window again, '???' has changed..
[It was a very unique hidden piece in [Dungeon & Stone].
It's an achievement reward and you have to go to a designated location, and it's also a limited-time reward that you can't receive if you come back later..
More than anything…….
「Permanently increases mental resistance by +50.」
The same goes for phrases that end in one line without sincerity..
An unknown power resides in your body.
A hidden being gives a blessing.
The phrases that usually pop up when you discover a hidden piece do not exist at all..
So I tried several experiments to see if I was missing something, but the results were the same..
So I just thought there was nothing hidden.…….
「An error occurred.」
Where on earth is this?.
At first glance, it's not a witch's forest..
「I can't find my character's location.」
「Character log transfer is temporarily suspended.」
Who is that girl again?.
Ta-dat, ta-dat, ta-dat.
A dimly lit field with a burning bonfire.
I looked around and kept my eyes on the girl who didn't answer my first question, who she was..
At that moment, the girl broke the silence and opened her mouth..
[…Ellis Groundia.]
A voice that sounds like it's ringing in your head, not in your ears.
The voice itself was surprisingly ordinary..
but…….
“……Damn?”
Goosebumps appeared all over my body and words came out freely..
It was such a famous name..
“Oh, I'm sorry for swearing. I am a barbarian. This happens sometimes when I'm too surprised.”
I took a deep breath and searched for the girl..
First of all, it wasn't a joking expression..
However, whether that can be accepted obediently is a different story..
‘She's really an earth witch?’
I can't believe it at all.
But I decided to just be cool and admit it..
When I thought about it differently, there was no reason not to believe it..
Didn't you already know that the witch was alive?.
There was no way the girl I met in a place like this was an ordinary girl in the first place..
Yeah, I mean…….
‘rather good.’
If she really is a witch, this is an opportunity to talk to her for as long as possible to find out more information.—.
[You must not open the door to the abyss.]
huh?
What does this mean again??
It was a moment when I felt a doubt and was about to open my mouth to say something..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
A strangely eerie wind blows, and the space becomes mixed as if the fog has cleared..
I urgently stretched out my hand towards the fading witch..
The one thing that finally reached my fingertips was—.
“…Yandel, what are you doing??”
It was Amelia's angry face..
***
「The character's location has been confirmed.」
「Resume character log transmission.」
***
The witch's forest has finally returned.
Before I was caught up in the feeling of being possessed by a ghost, I checked with my colleagues who followed me to see if they had experienced a similar phenomenon..
“…A field covered in fog? What are you talking about??”
“We just came out so we were here.!”
Yeah, you didn't have that.…….
“I guess I saw something wrong..”
I also didn't know exactly what happened, so I just figured it out..
Amelia glanced at me suspiciously, but didn't ask anything at this point..
[23 : 50]
After checking the time, we decided to just end the exploration here and spend time freely resting..
“Hey, rain—!”
“Pnellin, don't bother me and leave me alone. Because it looks like you have something to think about..”
“ah. I get it…….”
Although it was only a few minutes, I was able to organize my thoughts comfortably thanks to Amelia..
First of all, what I just experienced was not a dream at all..
The girl I met was probably also an earth witch..
There was no doubt up to this point..
but…….
‘Don't open the door to the abyss.’
What on earth did this mean?.
No, why was I the only one who experienced this in the first place??
For some reason, everyone seems to have strange expectations of me, including Auril Gavis..
‘……Just because I am an original clear user?’
Huh, I think and think hard every day, but why does it seem like I have more and more things to think about??
「The labyrinth is closed.」
In the end, there was no answer to my concerns until the labyrinth was closed..
「The character moves to Lapdonia.」
The city sky is as cloudy as ever.
“Wait a minute, could that person be…….”
“This is Baron Yandel.…….”
When I returned to the Dimensional Plaza, the explorers who recognized me were buzzing. Now it was just like everyday life, so I didn't pay much attention and just looked around..
“…It was really dangerous this time..”
“I'm glad none of us came back dead. Let's go back and rest.”
This time, the explorers who would have fought on the 7th floor looked particularly exhausted..
The condition of the equipment was also miserable..
‘Did something happen??’
I'll have to check this later.
This kind of information can now be received offline from Bersil without having to go to the round table..
As power grows, the need for a round table gradually decreases..
‘Still, since there is a clown and the GM's staff, I will have to continue participating..’
I slowly walked towards the checkpoint..
In the past, I would have moved quickly to get in line as quickly as possible, but that's not the case now..
“Bjorn! It's here! here!”
4Integrated checkpoint available only to teams of higher level.
However, since most people at this level were clan-based, there was virtually no line at this checkpoint. For groups of 10 or more, you must use a different checkpoint..
‘I guess I'll have to gradually raise my clan rank. To avoid wasting time at the checkpoint later,.’
The line was short and there was little to no magic stone, so it didn't take too long to get out of the checkpoint..
thus…….
“Einar, are you going straight to the inn??”
“That's it, see you later.!”
After breaking up with Einar, I went straight home..
‘By the way, this house also needs to be taken care of within this month.…….’
Even though I am home, a place of rest, the homework that needs to be done comes to mind first..
I just came back after catching Riakis..
“I'm going to go take a shower first. Everyone take care of yourselves and rest..”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Rest, Yandel..”
I soon went to the bathroom, pushed away the grime that had accumulated from exploring, and after washing myself, I fell straight onto the bed..
“Phew…….”
Let's sleep quickly.
Because I have to wake up early tomorrow.
***
6 a.m. the next day.
I washed up quietly so as not to wake up Amelia and Erwen, who were sleeping, and went out into the street..
“haam.”
I'm feeling sleepy.
‘I went to bed around 2pm, so I guess I slept for about 15 hours.…….’
3Thanks to the 15-day expedition that ended on the last floor, I can at least hold out, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm tired..
Huh, the rule is to just stay at home and have a nice rest the day after the exploration is over.…….
“It is an honor to serve you. His Excellency Baron Yandel.”
Soon I arrived at the public platform, boarded the noble carriage and headed to the imperial capital Karnon..
It's been a while since I took a carriage to the imperial capital..
When you meet the Marquis, the Marquis covers the expenses, and when you participate in the victory ceremony, the royal family covers the expenses..
‘I should sleep while I go..’
Thinking that I had saved 700,000 stones with a little inconvenience, I felt at ease and fell asleep easily..
[13 : 10]
It was a little after noon when the carriage arrived at its destination..
Squishy, Squishy.
As I headed towards the main gate of the mansion, appeasing my hungry stomach with beef jerky, a guard with rabbit ears approached me..
There was absolutely no problem with not being able to recognize faces..
“Greetings, Baron Yandel..”
A guard welcomes me to Baron Lirivia and lets me into the mansion..
I felt once again the hospitality that was so generous..
‘…This is the dignity of a noble family..’
Should I say that invisible efforts go into every detail, even down to the smallest detail??
Even if he later buys land and builds a building and calls himself Baron Yandel, it will take a really long time to get to this point..
“Baron Yandel, it's been a while..”
As I was waiting in the room I followed the guards to, the Rabbit Baron, whom I met during the victory ceremony, entered..
“A long time. Baron Lirivia. The house was really nice, huh? People are friendly too.”
“Hehe, thank you for your positive comments. But you don’t seem to be nervous.?”
“Should I do it??”
“No, that can't be possible. I meant it was good. And actually, I can't imagine Baron Yandel being nervous..”
“I'm also a bit nervous. In life-threatening situations.”
“When you say that, it makes me think that you really are an explorer..”
The Rabbit Baron, who had been around the social world for a long time, was very good at speaking. I'm just answering, but should I say that the conversation continues comfortably on its own??
“Oh my, it's already time. As the host family of this summit, I have some work to do, so I'll leave now. People from other families also have to say hello..”
“Then where should I go later??”
When I asked about the location, the Rabbit Baron tilted his head for a moment and then laughed..
“Baron Yandel need not worry about that. When the time comes, someone will come and guide you. Until then, rest in peace..”
“…Right. I get it. See you later.”
It was about 30 minutes later that the guide the Rabbit Baron had mentioned came..
“The owners are waiting.”
When we arrived, it was a large study-like space, and as soon as we saw it, a round table came to mind..
It had to be that way..
There was indeed a large round table placed here too..
‘In this world, you can't have a meeting without a round table.?’
A sudden thought made me laugh, but I came to my senses and held it in..
'Cause I can't leave the first impression that I'm a guy with no screws.
“…….”
Without even looking around, I see everyone's eyes in the room focused on me..
Everyone seems curious about the new recruit.…….
‘If you're going to do this, why don't you just stop by and say hello during the victory ceremony?.’
Oh, they said they couldn't come back then because they thought it would attract attention..
After listening to what the Rabbit Baron said before and seeing this now, I think that this is really a group of herbivores..
“Excuse me, Baron Yandel, could you stand there for a moment? It won't take long.”
“That's right.”
“Okay, so now that we're all here, let's start with the first agenda item..”
Baron Rabbit, who was seated at the head of the table, acted as moderator and conducted the meeting..
“The first item on the agenda for today's meeting is Baron Yandel's admission to the party. In accordance with the plenary ideology of pursuing equality, anyone can express their opinions freely before the vote, and after the agenda is passed by a majority vote, the results must be humbly accepted..”
Yeah, it's roughly like this..
For some reason, they used round tables facing each other..
“First of all, there is something I would like to ask Baron Yandel..”
As soon as the meeting started, the mustachioed fairy raised his hand. It was obvious which family she was from because her hair was blue..
“Please do it.”
“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Baron Hesceira. It's really nice to meet a famous hero in this place..”
“nice to meet. This is Baron Yandel. So what do you want to ask??”
“I recently heard that you became the leader of a barbarian tribe. Is that true??”
“Yes.”
It wasn't a story that could be hidden, so I just nodded..
Perhaps everyone knows this, but there was no reaction from the family heads..
We both know.
Anyway, the important thing is the next story.
“I have heard something about Baron Yandel, so I will not drag on and ask directly. Why did you do that? Maybe you didn't know the unwritten rules here??”
“No way. knew.”
“Hoo…….”
When I coolly admitted it here too, the heads of the families who were watching brightened their eyes as if they were interested..
“I knew that, but why did you do that?…….”
“Because it was an unwritten rule that didn't help me..”
“……I can't hear those words in vain.”
“The reason is?”
“We have tried our best to avoid arousing hostility from existing famous families. But Baron Yandel made all that effort in vain..”
“Know. They say we drew a line as much as possible from the sacred land that was our hometown and showed everyone that we were loyal to the royal family.?”
“Baron Yandel, you know that—.”
It was time to leave a first impression on them..
“But so.”
I interrupted Baron Mustache and said:.
My behavior may be seen as rude to those born and raised in noble families.…….
“What has changed so far??”
After all, I'm a barbarian.
“…….”
I left the fairy man speechless at the question of what had changed and looked around..
It was the perfect time to imprint my character..
“Everyone knows the truth, right? Even if we draw a line with the holy sites of Amman, they will never accept us..”
I didn't even draw the line properly..
Should I cover my eyes and say goodbye??
Not only does he not sit directly as the head of the tribe, but all the families here have some kind of relationship with the sacred land behind the scenes..
‘The reason they hung up on me was because they could get the support of the barbarians if I were there..’
Well, if you're going to lie down, you have to lie down hard, and if you're going to stand up, you have to stand up suddenly on this floor..
How come politicians don’t know that more than me??
“Okay, so are you done wondering??”
“exactly. At least… Now that I know what kind of person Baron Yandel is,.”
That's good. That's exactly what I wanted.
Soon after Baron Mustache finished his turn, Baron Rabbit, who was watching, continued the process..
“Does anyone have any further questions or comments for Baron Yandel??”
“…….”
“If not, we will start voting now. Those who are in favor of Baron Yandel joining the party, please raise your hand to express your opinion..”
The voting that started like that was completely different from what I expected..
I guess it's not even a secret ballot, but I never thought it would just be a form of raising one's hand..
“…….”
One by one, the family heads began to raise their hands in silence, whether they were shocked or not at the extremely old-fashioned way..
Fortunately, the result was as I expected..
“Thirty-one families voted in favor, and Baron Yandel's admission to the party was approved..”
unanimous.
“From today, Baron Yandel's enemies are our enemies, and we will not abandon Baron Yandel under any circumstances..”
After the Rabbit Baron finished speaking, the heads of the house clapped their hands without making a fuss, but they were not particularly happy..
That's right, a noble family from a different species appeared for the first time in 600 years..
But even the first barbarian family??
Even if I had pulled down my pants and pooped right here, the result would not have been different..
Because these guys are used to waiting.
I hope my son doesn't have a mental defect, so I would have eventually allowed him to join the party..
“Baron Yandel, you may take a seat now..”
I went to the only empty seat and sat down, and the applause stopped. After Baron Rabbit said a few words to me, the meeting continued again..
“The second item on the agenda is about Baron Yandel's support..”
In fact, this time too, the outcome was decided..
It is already established that Melves will support the establishment of Baron Yandel..
However, during this process, discussions continued about how much money would be spent on purchasing which piece of land and how and how much support would be provided afterwards..
and…….
‘I'm sure this is the maximum I've gotten.…….’
Thanks to Baron Rabbit's diligent advocacy on my behalf, the grant was set to be a little more generous than expected..
So now the next thing on the agenda.
“The third agenda is…….”
The Rabbit Baron glanced at me to see if he was nervous and continued speaking..
“This is a formal application for Baron Yandel and Clan Anavada..”
“…When you say Clan Anavada, you mean the clan under Baron Yandel.?”
“Yes that's right.”
As expected, the heads of the family were in an uproar before they finished speaking..
“We accepted that Baron Yandel was doing it for us, but this is a completely different problem..”
“This support is for individuals, not families! This is unprecedented.!”
Questions arose from all over the place, and they eventually boiled down to one thing..
“why should we?”
Is there a reasonable reason for the action?.
“that—.”
I stood up, interrupting the rabbit baron who was about to reply..
‘Well, I can't leave this to someone else..’
Since ancient times, your worth is something you prove yourself..
