Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 478
478angry big fish (1)
The second coming-of-age ceremony held after becoming the chief of the tribe..
Still, just because I tried it once, I was able to complete the entire coming-of-age ceremony process in a much faster time than before..
‘Hmm, this time the newbies didn't come in at all??’
Among the young warriors of this season, none of them behaved in a way that could be suspected of being a player..
It's such a relief.
Warriors don't have to lose their bodies, and users don't have to spend their days surviving while being treated like evil spirits for no reason..
That damn game needs to go away..
“Charon.”
“Speak, Chief.”
While I was thinking about it, I checked the newbie's current status with the two elders next to me..
“Bekta, third son of Kiltaw? Ah, that guy who chose the shield at the last coming-of-age ceremony.!”
“okay. How is he doing??”
“Hehe, you seem to be worried that I chose the shield.?”
“Just answer what is asked.”
“I'm doing well. I heard she was pretty awesome in the labyrinth too.…….”
When asked about the details, the latest information came out quickly, like a barbarian..
“He looked somewhat like you. Just like you, who went to the second floor during the first exploration, it seems that he also went up to the second floor with the warriors who were on the same team..”
“2on the floor……?”
Newbies actively used the team system and starting items I introduced..
I gave a bottle of potion to another explorer and purchased a torch, and cleared the dark area using it..
2It is said that on the floor, he helped other warriors by fighting with a shield.…….
“Tribal leader, it's not as much as you, but it seems like I made quite a bit of money on my first expedition and left the checkpoint..”
Yeah, it seems like my head is spinning quite a bit, so I guess I'm already adjusting well..
Even if you had knowledge of the Amman game, it wouldn't have been easy..
Of course, I was worried about one thing..
‘If you act like that, you'll get noticed by the evil spirit hunters of the Secret Service.…….’
Well, I guess you can take care of this yourself..
Suddenly he came next to me and said, 'I'm from America. Where are you from?' If you ask this question, it's unlikely you'll survive long in the first place..
“I guess I'll have to add a torch next time..”
“Oh, good idea..”
The conversation ended like that, and I stopped chatting after that and led the young warriors towards the city..
It was that time.
“tribal leader.”
Charon, who was following me, called to me in a stiff voice..
“actually… I found out a while ago.”
“……?”
“This time, we found out the cause of death of the dead warriors. Didn’t I tell you to find out?.”
Oh, that.
The first thing I did when I returned to the sanctuary was to confirm the death of this rider..
The number of warriors killed was seven.
A monumental first exploration survival rate of almost 90%.
However, I was not satisfied with the numbers..
Potion and shoes. And I even used bonding magic to create a team of three, so does it make sense for three people to die??
“So what was the cause of death??”
In response to my question, Charon spoke in a devastated voice..
“I think he's a looter. When I looked into it, I found out that the guild had received several reports that the bodies of their compatriots had been found in the Crystal Cave..”
“…….”
“According to the report records, it appears that there were several traces of being attacked by people rather than monsters..”
“also… That's right.”
I understood it quickly because it was the reason I had anticipated..
Of course, I had one question..
“Still, it's a bit strange. Even though we were in a team of four, we were attacked by looters. That too on the first floor.”
“actually… I thought that was strange too, so I looked into it more. however…….”
Charon soon trailed off and spoke softly so that the young warriors following him could not hear..
“Recently, the value of our heart has risen significantly..”
As a tribal leader responsible for the future of the Barbarian people, these were words that made my heart sink..
“The price is rising……?”
“Literally. The standard price announced by M Tower has increased several times..”
“Nimiral.”
Now I finally understand the situation.
Naturally, supply decreases and scarcity value increases as people become less vulnerable than before..
The price of the heart must have skyrocketed day by day..
‘A heart costs millions of stones... It's only natural that there are babies with rolling eyes..’
That's because it'll be more profitable than exploring the 4th or 5th floors..
Even if you give them the Amman potion and form teams of three or four people,.
If professional raiders with different specifications are active on the first floor, it is nearly impossible for young warriors to respond..
“When we asked the explorers who saw the bodies, they said that most of the bodies actually showed signs of being hit on one side..”
you damn bastards.
“Crackling…….”
A strong response seems necessary..
***
After personally leading the young warriors to the dimensional plaza, with the help of a waiting wizard, he grouped them in groups of three or four and even cast a binding spell on them..
Oh, by the way, this time it wasn't a wizard from a guild..
Now we have a wizard on our team..
“Although it is a low-level magic... I'm a little tired because the numbers are this big..”
“thanks. Versil Gowland.”
“ah… I didn't mean to be condescending.…….”
“Still, nothing changes. When you are thankful, you have to properly express your gratitude..”
As I was patting Bersil's shoulder with a grin, Amelia sighed as if she didn't like it for some reason..
“……Here we go again, that guy.”
I didn't know why I was doing this just because I started..
“Yandel, let’s just go in..”
Anyway, the lead of the warriors is over. We quickly entered the labyrinth..
「1I entered the crystal cave on the first floor..」
The crystal cave on the first floor that brings back memories of old times whenever you enter..
We headed straight to the dark area in the center..
“…Something feels strange. I can't believe I'm coming here again.”
As soon as he saw the monument, Bersil muttered in a strange voice..
But I guess I didn't like it?
“What's strange? I remember they just opened the portal and escaped comfortably..”
Erwen gave a gentle scratch, and Versil flinched at this..
However, fortunately, Versil did not react sensitively and instead offered words of apology..
“…sorry.”
Well, the atmosphere gets weird.
I deliberately joined in with a cheerful voice..
“What is there to be sorry about? It's not your fault.”
But did those words sound uncomfortable again?.
For the first time in a long time, Erwen directly contradicted what I said..
“That's wrong. If no one had run away and fought together, more people would have come back alive..”
Well, at that time she lost her real sister..
“There's always a price to pay for making the wrong choice..”
“…That's correct. So I had to pay the price too..”
Bersil seemed to sincerely regret what happened, but he responded gently to Erwen's harsh words..
Erwen was no more sarcastic at this..
No, he even apologized to me..
“…Uncle, I'm sorry. The atmosphere has become strange for no reason because of me..”
“uh… … ? no. Okay. It's not strange at all?”
“then… I'm glad.”
what? When did he become so fine??
I was a little upset, but I can't believe I regained my composure so easily over a topic that even involved my sister.…….
“Bjorn! So when is he coming out? How long have I waited for this day?!”
At that time, Einar shouted excitedly..
Amelia frowned at this..
“Barbarian, you keep asking again what you said several times in the last meeting.?”
“…I forgot!”
“and?”
“I'm sorry……?”
“It's so much better.”
Einar shrugs his shoulders at Amelia's words, as if he had clearly completed the ranking last time..
Still, I was curious so I asked the same thing again..
“so… When can we fight? I barely remember how to fight.!”
In the end, Amelia also reluctantly answered..
“…7It's full of work.”
“Well, you have to wait that long? Isn’t it only on the 3rd day that you can summon him?!”
“Strangely enough, he says the same thing as at the meeting..”
1Starting from the 3rd day, the layer's hierarchy lord will appear with a chance when 5 or more people are gathered in one place..
One word is probability, and the probability increases exponentially as time passes, so in fact, it is 100% summoned before one day passes..
thus…….
‘Preparations for the summons begin in the evening of the 6th day..’
A schedule was set up so that summons can be confirmed on the 7th day when the labyrinth closes..
Because that's also the 5-player strategy..
“then… Are we just going to wait here until then??”
Einar looked like he was already bored to death..
It was already nice to see him making a fuss about being bored every day, but there was no problem..
“Einar, don't worry. Because while you wait, you have something to do with me..”
“oh! Is it true?!”
Einar was greatly pleased by my words, while Amelia tilted her head..
“…Yandel, what are you going to do? I haven't heard anything like that.”
Yes, I guess so..
This is a plan that came up on the way today..
“Anyway, shouldn't the five of us stick together until the 6th day? You three, rest here. I will definitely come back in time.”
“……What are you trying to do??”
Amelia looked as if I was going to cause another accident..
Well, it makes people sad.
“Don't worry. Because we just want to take a quiet walk together..”
Oh, of course I'm going to take off all the expensive equipment..
Like a beginner who has just entered the labyrinth.
***
I left the group with Einar..
Erwen didn't know what it was, but he offered to help her too, but he gently declined..
The reason is simple.
The things we will do from now on can only be done by barbarians..
so that…….
plod, trudge.
Einar and I are walking through a cave alone..
There is no destination, just follow where your feet lead you.
“……”
“…….”
For reference, I took off the existing equipment a long time ago, put it in subspace, and put on the barbarian beginner set..
a pair of rain boots.
cloth backpack.
waist pouch.
And even the iron weapon that no one chose at the coming-of-age ceremony left over..
“…Bjorn, will they really be fooled by this??”
Although Einar listened to my plan and followed it, he seemed a bit reserved..
“You and I are both fairly well known.…….”
“What is known is the name, not the face..”
“You're saying this because you don't know! I don't know, but I'm sure everyone will recognize you.!”
Well, is it really so??
I do not think so.
In the first place, the first impression of a person is determined by the situation encountered, appearance, and the temperament that the person exudes..
“Anyway, how old are we? I'm sure everyone will think it's strange..”
He also has a lot of unnecessary worries.?
Barbarians are all presbyopic, so people from different races can't tell the difference in age..
Ah, the basis is my experience.
Everyone's eyes light up when I approach them in an appetizing way.—.
“That's right, that's right.”
At that time, a goblin appeared from a gap in the crystal rock..
and…….
Suddenly-
He was immediately slaughtered by Einar's iron long sword..
When I saw that, I screamed as if I was going to freak out without realizing it..
“Einar! What on earth is this?!!”
“Why, why are you doing that! Me, I just had a goblin come out and cut me down…….”
Einar flinched and protested in an aggrieved voice..
“That's the problem! Wasn't it too easy to kill?!”
“……Then what should I do??”
“I'll show you.”
Afterwards, I found a level 9 monster and showed him how to fight it from now on..
“Yeah, that's right……!”
The opponent is a goblin.
“…….”
Looking into the monster's murderous eyes, I infuse strength into the hand holding the weapon..
Wow.
Rather, the tip of the sword shakes with too much force..
“Be, behel—laaaa!”
Hoping for the blessings of the ancestral gods, he swung his great sword at random, and of course the goblin dodged it..
and…….
Kwasik-!
After swinging three or four more times, he barely succeeded in hitting the enemy, and was killed in one go using basic specs..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The point is to run and pick up the fallen magic stones like a person who has starved for several days..
“How about it, can you do it??”
“Bjorn… Even if it is their first expedition, there are no warriors who fight such bad battles... … . Even just me—.”
Huh, he keeps talking back to me.?
“So, can you do it or not? just say that.”
“I'll try it…….”
“Oh, and always shout your battle cry. That way, people will think that we are fighting sincerely..”
The name of the ancestral god shouted against a mere level 9 monster. But Einar endured his shame and did as I said..
“Be, Behel—Raah…….”
I felt demotivated, but it's not that bad..
Therefore, basic education is over at this point..
All that's left is practice.
“Okay, so from now on we will continue to move like this. Do you understand??”
“i get it…….”
Afterwards, we wandered around the crystal cave in earnest and engaged in a fierce battle with level 9 monsters..
When they encountered human explorers, they kept their distance as if on guard, and when they were hungry, they filled their hungry stomachs by chewing the stone bread they used to eat in the past..
It's called Barbarian Kangtaegong Mode..
Surprisingly, it took quite a bit of mental strength to maintain this state..
No matter how much you control your strength, a single swipe will kill the goblin.…….
I also got used to it as I gained experience..
1Day 1, Day 2.
So time passed.
Unfortunately, there has been no bite yet..
But there was no reason to doubt myself or be disappointed..
‘On the 1st and 2nd days when there is a lot of floating population, looters will be wary of their gaze..’
The third day has already begun, and all the explorers leaving the first floor have gone upstairs..
Drurr! Drurrrrr…….
I put Einar to sleep, stayed awake, and was dozing off when I got my first bite..
plod, trudge.
Four explorers approach without any intention of hiding their popularity..
The equipment was also in good condition..
‘I think it will be at least the 4th floor.…….’
It's not really important.
plod.
Soon, the guys who were approaching spread out as if encircling the area and stopped walking..
and…….
“Anyway, it's amazing how much people talk about a topic that only a few people know. It's so hard to find?”
One of them grinned at me..
Surprisingly, it was exactly what I thought..
“I finally found it.”
I know.
Grinning.
I finally found it.
