Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 499
499angry quest (4)
Alliance of different races of noble families, Melves.
During my time here, I received support for Clan Anavada, including support from Baron Yandel..
In fact, in the case of the clan, it was obtained almost by force, but the support item itself was not that great..
The fact that we were provided with the clan house that we are currently using as a mansion at a low price, and that loans using public funds will be possible in the future are all one-sided benefits..
‘Request…….’
Therefore, the importance of ‘request’ increases..
‘'Request' is a bit short of a benefit, it's closer to a conditional contract..
‘Your treatment will vary depending on how well you can resolve this request. My standing will go up even further..’
In terms of games, it is similar to the public score system..
When you complete quests, your rank goes up, and the benefits increase accordingly. Well, you still need to make sure it's a place to lie down and then stretch out your feet..
“What are you trying to request??”
Rather than asking how much the compensation was, I first checked the details of the request..
“Information.”
“……information?”
It was something completely unexpected..
Requests are most likely one of three items: hunting, gathering, and combat..
But what about information??
When he gestured for a detailed explanation, Viscount Gudrix sipped his tea and continued..
“that… Nothing very big happened this time.?”
“Don't confuse, be clear.”
The Viscount, who was about to speak in a noble manner, cleared his throat and spoke clearly..
Well, isn't that clear enough??
“The words engraved on the Stone of Honor. I looked into it and they said that it was a hidden area, which most likely meant a new class..”
Still, I thought I knew what he was talking about..
If you've come this far, it's clear what information you want from me..
“Isn't Baron Yandel going to search unexplored areas from the next expedition? I would like you to share your exploration results with us. Whether the hidden area is really a new layer, where the entrance is, how to get in, and what's inside..”
Hmm…….
After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, the Viscount quickly continued speaking..
“Oh, and as I said before, this request is officially approved by the Council of Melveth, and the corresponding reward will be paid immediately upon completion of the request..”
“How much is conservative??”
“It will vary depending on the value and rarity of the exploration results. Nothing has been confirmed yet, right? In other words, the entrance may be discovered during the next exploration and all explorers will know how to get there. However, if you achieve the right results, it will never be lacking. Thirteen families have already decided to participate..”
“thirteen?”
“Everyone can have a different subjective opinion about an opportunity, right? The compensation for this request will be paid with public funds raised by the thirteen families that have agreed to participate..”
To interpret it, it means that other families judged this request to be a ‘waste’..
“So the meeting wasn't officially held, but you met me as a representative..”
“That's right. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach a majority during the temporary voting process. Oh, of course, don't worry. We have officially been given permission to separately collect public funds and submit a request..”
As I listen to the extremely cumbersome process, I can clearly feel the shortcomings of the council as a group..
Well, it does have its advantages, but.
“so… … . need some time to think?”
“Rather than asking about time, I would like to ask you a few questions..”
“whatever.”
“What are you trying to do with the exploration information??”
In response to my question, Viscount Gudrix took a moment to organize his thoughts in his head before opening his mouth..
“Baron: Do you know what the most expensive grade 9 essence sold in history is? It's the abyss. The essence, which was not much better than other grade 9 essences, was sold for a huge sum of 3.2 billion stones. Do you know why??”
It was my first time hearing this story, but I could guess the reason..
“…Because it was the first.”
“exactly. Just because it was discovered in a crack on the 9th floor, the Magic Tower paid a lot of money to purchase the essence. Because the first time is worth a lot of money..”
However, when asked if money was the goal, the Viscount shook his head and said that was not the case..
“Since ancient times, there have been countless treasures and opportunities in newly emerging areas. Mulmarine, the sea dragon slayer, is the representative hero. The power and authority he gained from first defeating the sea dragon could not be regained by anyone in the labyrinth..”
“so?”
“The information obtained from the Baron will be passed on to trusted explorers of each tribe..”
“You're trying to use information to help them grow..”
“exactly. As explorers from different races gain power, our power will also grow..”
Although there was a lot of unnecessary talk, after listening to the Viscount's story, I was able to accurately understand Melves's motivation for making this request..
I understood it too..
“Of course, the Baron may be dissatisfied with sharing the precious results of his exploration with us. But I will make a promise. The information received will be kept confidential and will only be passed on to trusted people..”
With that, the Viscount asked if I would accept the request, and I answered:.
“good night. I will accept the request..”
It is not a quest with a penalty in case of failure..
There's nothing to lose once you get it.?
“See you next time then.”
After leaving the self-authorship and returning home, I gathered my team members and shared information about the new quest..
There were some concerns, but no opposition..
This is a problem that can be considered after discovering hidden areas and then confirming their value..
Tick, tick.
We discussed future exploration plans until a little late and then lay down in bed..
Amelia and Erwen were sitting together on the two chairs in front of the bed..
“Tercia, there is no need for you to be there too..”
“You don’t like it? I will also protect you here.?”
……Aren’t we getting along well??
I wonder if everyone says this because of how long they’ve been there..
Tick, tick.
I closed my eyes, mentally counting the seconds of the clock on the bedside table..
「The character's soul resonates and draws you to a specific world..」
Half a month has already passed.
***
As soon as I woke up in Hansu Lee's room, I turned on the computer and accessed the community..
[Long Live Korean Independence] - 0 people are online.
Yeah, they haven't come in yet.…….
It wouldn't be too late to enter after two more people came in, so I checked the free bulletin board first..
As expected, posts were already coming up..
[Everyone, check out this patch note.?]
I really thought that the back of my head hurts was a word used in times like this..
Is it true that there is still a hidden area??
[BurtusMaximus: The reason why 'Dungeon & Stone' is a god game = It's a free game that's been around for over 10 years, but it's still patched..]
[ㄴthese99: Instead, they don’t send me home..]
[BurtusMaximus: Sure. It's really a god game. Send me a little house now..]
The contents of this patch seemed to be more shocking to users than to the natives..
Recently, there have been a lot of other incidents, such as black market and gambling on magic towers, and this is the first thing that is plastered all over the place..
[But how on earth did Bjorn capture the Lord of Terror so that he could be patched??]
After catching it all, did you fry it in a frying pan and eat it??
It's strange that it suddenly gets patched just because you caught it..
[Futuralis: I heard you had 5 people..]
[ㄴAI_DIDIGO: Information 1, it was not a 5-person group, but a 4-person group.]
[ㄴFuturalis: Then I guess 4-man is a requirement?.]
[ㄴAI_DIDIGO: Information 2, Bjorn Yandel was not the first 4th incl..]
[Futuralis: So what is the conclusion??]
[ㄴ AI_ DIDIGO: Conclusion, the probability that Bjorn Yandel defeated the Lord of Fear after meeting special conditions converges to 92.24571%.]
[ㄴWriter: This guy’s concept is funny.]
[ㄴ Nyacreeps: But this is correct. Royal researchers also believe that it is highly likely that Gabrielius's arrangement was activated under certain conditions..]
Players who present many possibilities in an unexpected patch.
I looked hard to see if I could find some clues if I used collective intelligence, but I still couldn't figure out what those 'special conditions' might be..
‘what… Does it matter now?.’
After scanning the bulletin board, I used the mouse again to check the chat room..
[Long Live Korean Independence] - 2 people are online.
Okay, then you both came on time..
As I quickly entered the room, two people who felt popular greeted me first..
“It's my brother! Did you come?!”
Lee Baek-ho bows with an exaggerated gesture.
“Ah, I'm here?”
And Hyeonbyeol, who glances at me and ends it,.
As I passed the two and sat down on the sofa, Baekho Lee quickly ran over and sat next to me..
“brother! You know what? We talked briefly before he came, and Hyeonbyeol said she still has feelings for him.!”
“………huh?”
A very embarrassing topic from the beginning..
I swallowed my saliva and checked the side, and I saw Hyeonbyeol's stiff face..
“…Brother, I have never said anything like that. You don’t believe him.?”
“Oh, I know. Of course I don't believe it.”
“older brother! Are you going to be upset about that? Even you! Has that never happened? You blushed when you asked what you would do if your brother asked you to date again.!”
ah… It was like that too..
…I'm glad.
I wondered how I would see Hyeonbyeol’s face from now on..
“…I didn't blush. And even if that were the case, how could that possibly be the case??”
“Hehe, silence can sometimes be a strong affirmation..”
“Baekho Lee... It's really trash?”
After saying those words, Hyeonbyeol no longer fell for Lee Baekho's pranks..
They just glare at me with their harsh eyes..
“Hyeonbyeol, stop it. Because I don’t believe it anyway. Baekho, you too, stop messing around..”
“yes!”
“I'm really pissed…….”
When I intervened in the situation, Baekho Lee stood at attention with a sly voice, and Hyunbyeol clenched both fists..
‘When did these two become so close??’
I had doubts, but I didn't dare say them out loud..
Because if that happens, Hyeonbyeol will definitely have a seizure again..
Baekho Lee This guy is a community that opens once a month, and you can only meet there for an hour, so you have to save time as much as possible..
In that sense…….
“Hyeonbyeol-ah.”
We decided to send Hyunbyeol out first for conversation..
Seeing Hyeonbyeol's expression crumpled even when I just called her name, it seemed like she had roughly guessed what she was going to say..
Thanks to you, I didn't talk too long.
“I have something to talk about with Baekho... … know?”
“…1I'll be back in time.”
With those words, Hyunbyeol glared at Baekho Lee once and left the chat room..
“Whiyu! Isn’t that sister really fun? He's really strong, but he's really annoying to his brother.…….”
“It's a white tiger.”
“yes?”
“Don't be so rude.”
“…all right. I won't play pranks from now on. That's it?”
under… How can I control this guy??
As I was thinking about it, Baekho Lee looked at me and brought up a new topic..
“By the way, bro.”
“uh.”
“So meow… No, it was nice to meet Misha Karlstein.?”
“uh. Thanks to.”
Perhaps because of the passage of time, we still feel distant from each other, but time will resolve this..
Yeah, I mean…….
“By the way, it's Baekho.”
Misha has finally returned safely..
I brought up a question I had not been able to ask during our last meeting..
“What is a record stone??”
It was time to stop being swayed by stories that only I knew about..
