Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 508
508Tue Basement 1st floor (4)
Admission capacity: 60 people.
Also, the portal only opens briefly when you enter, and there is no portal to return to..
These two correspond to the characteristics of a 'crack'.
However, there were many ambiguous parts to classify the place where I am currently standing as a crack..
‘Because there was a tombstone.’
Where there is a connection between classes, there is always a portal monument. And this time, we activated the monument and opened the portal..
also…….
‘There has never been a case where the hidden area was a crack..’
Most of the ‘hidden areas’ written on the Stone of Honor referred to new layers, otherwise they corresponded to hidden fields such as the ‘Labyrinth of Larkaz’..
‘But it's unlikely that this is a hidden field on the first floor..’
I decided to view this as a single layer..
Because Hidden Field shares a closure date with the corresponding floor,.
However, in order to open this portal, you have to work hard to farm the pieces from the 3rd floor..
‘If you add the return time, it will be around the 6th day at the earliest..’
If it is a Hidden Field, it should be said that due to its design, it can only be explored for a maximum of 2 days.?
This possibility would be low.
‘So the important thing is, on what day will this place be closed?…….’
This will become clear as time passes..
“Versil, are you finished counting the number of people??”
“yes.”
Before starting the exploration in earnest, preliminary research was completed to identify the forces..
“First of all, there are two major forces. There are twenty members of the Silver Lion Clan and nineteen members of the Hetz Clan..
“Both numbers don't match up well..”
Clans mostly move according to their numbers..
When the number of members was 5, the team was divided into multiples of 5, and when the number increased to 6, the teams were divided into multiples of 6..
“yes. It looks like both clans have quite a few losers. As soon as they saw that the barrier had disappeared and the portal had opened, it seemed like everyone was running out in a panic..”
“Right. Then the rest?”
“5There are two teams of people, and one team of four people..”
After hearing the story further, it seems that the leader of the 4-person team was not able to join, and that one of the 5-person teams was missing a warrior, completely destroying the balance of the battle..
“Want to find out more? Everyone seems to be kind to me because I need a place to lean on..”
“No, this is enough. thanks.”
“and…….”
“huh?”
As soon as I tilted my head, Bersil cautiously opened his mouth..
“All three small and medium-sized teams asked if they could rely on us. The other two clans also seemed to want cooperation..”
”I understand cooperation, but trust.?”
“Is there anything special? I'll do everything you tell me to do, and I'll get paid whatever you give me, so just take me with you..”
Well, I was driven by greed and managed to enter, but I must have come to my senses once I entered the unknown land..
There are even losers and the team is not in good shape..
“What are you going to do??”
“What is the level of the teams??”
“On average, about 5 floors..”
“Then there is nothing more to see. Take care of everything..”
We judged that there was a high possibility that it would only be a hindrance due to our structure of fighting with a small number of elites..
‘If we don't accept it, they will decide whether to band together or become parasitic for two clans..’
I didn't force these guys to come down..
I opened the portal just as I wanted, so that's the end of our relationship..
thus…….
“Versil, use the binding magic again..”
“How about the number of people??”
“Emily and Auyen are a team. The rest is one team.”
First, we divided the team into two..
In fact, I thought about going with a 6-member system without Auyen, but it would be good for Auyen to get experience points too..
Isn't it true that new types of monsters will appear in new tiers? With this structure, if Amelia hits just one normal hit, even Auyen will receive experience points..
“Emily, are you okay??”
“Does not matter. Because I understand that a wizard with a lot of AoE skills needs to be on a team with you..”
Okay, then this problem is over..
“Bjorn! How long should I stay here?!”
Einar also seems to be running out of patience..
“Everyone stand in mobile formation..”
It's time to start exploring..
***
Soon, as we started to move, the explorers who were maintaining at the starting point began to notice me..
And one of them had the courage to ask me.
“if… If it doesn’t bother you, can I follow you from afar??”
It's scary to take the lead in an unknown class, so watch what we do and learn..
Oh, these bastards have no conscience??
Not only did he get a free ride through the portal I opened, but he also expected the bus to run..
“It shouldn't be a nuisance.”
I cut it out firmly, leaving no room for it..
Of course, that person also had a strong will to get on the bus and did not back down easily..
“Ha, but… … . With just a little help from the Baron, the number of people dying in vain will be greatly reduced..”
When one guy strapped his gun first, the others seemed to have the courage to fire back..
“That's right……!”
“In an emergency, there is an obligation for fellow explorers to join forces.…….”
“If you help us, it will definitely help the Baron's reputation a lot.—.”
What are you saying, these bastards?.
Do you think I'm a bigot just because I opened a portal once?.
“When did I tell you to come in??”
“…….”
“If you too are explorers, take care of your own exploration..”
“But obviously a lot of people will die—.”
“Shouldn’t you take that level of risk? You know that's what exploration is all about..”
With those words, he led his team and left the starting point. Maybe my strong words were effective, but no one dared follow us..
“Huh, I feel a bit refreshed now. Why is everyone talking so much?.”
“Captain, is it okay... … ? If they return alive, they might spread some strange rumors about you.…….”
Auyan asked with a worried voice, but I smiled and patted his back..
“You don't worry about anything. If you worry about things like that, your head will just hurt..”
“haha… As expected, you are bold..”
“Okay, now stop chatting and focus on exploration. I don't know what's ahead.”
Afterwards, I formed a mobile formation and slowly circled around the starting point to understand the terrain..
It didn't take that long.
This was because the terrain itself was not wide..
“I thought I could hear the sound of waves, but…….”
“It really was an island..”
A rocky island large enough to circle around in 30 minutes. If you go to the 6th floor, does it feel like Laimia, the island of beginning??
When I looked around, there were no monsters on the island..
No, it wasn't just monsters, there was really nothing..
‘There was at least a tree worth chopping on Laimia Island. There's nothing like that here.’
This is something I regret not being able to do..
If there was a special material that only came out here, I could go out and sell it for a high price..
Of course, it is still too early to give up expectations..
Because the real exploration lies beyond the sea..
“Rockrobe, how is that possible??”
Before launching the ship, I first listened to the navigator’s opinion..
Just by looking at it, it was different from an ordinary sea..
“yes. It's different from regular sea water, but the trees are floating. We'll have to try it to find out, but I think our boat will be able to float with this much buoyancy..”
“Good thing.”
Silver waves crashing against the rocks and scattering roughly.
It's like looking at a sea made of mercury..
Meanwhile, strange floating objects are also floating around..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
A chest of drawers, a fireplace, a thick book, an old sword, a knight's helmet, etc. floating on the silver waves.…….
What is that, a sock??
I don't know, but I actively listened to Auyen's opinions and summoned the ship from the most appropriate place..
“Oh oh! the boat has floated!”
Fortunately, the ship floated on the sea without any problems, but just in case, we watched for about 10 minutes to check for damage to the ship, etc., and then everyone boarded and prepared for departure..
And all decisions for this voyage were left to Auyen..
“yes? Are you talking about me??”
“okay. Try driving the boat as if it was your first time on the 6th floor without knowing anything..”
Auyen seemed burdened by such a position, but when I spoke strongly, he had no choice but to agree..
“Then, we will start by investigating the surrounding sea area.…….”
“do whatever you want. There is no need to report to me in detail. 'Cause you're so much better than me when it comes to sailing.”
The ship set sail like that and proceeded cautiously, as if showing the character of the navigator Auyen..
Auyen constantly checked whether the water was deep and whether there were any hidden obstacles beneath the surface, creating navigation charts in real time..
And Amelia watched and helped with interest from the side..
“I'm jealous. Having that kind of talent.”
“…yes?”
“It meant doing well. Your map and your name will definitely go down in history. Like Pikma's navigation chart.”
If you look closely, Amelia also has a strange obsession with things like this..
Is it because I have lived my entire life without being able to reveal my name proudly??
‘……When I get back to the city, I'll have to think of a way to get my real name back..’
The sailing part was going well without me, so I slowly moved to my seat and headed to the deck. If Auyen is an expert on navigation, I can be said to be an expert on the labyrinth itself..
‘The field of view has increased.’
On the rocky island, the visibility was about 100 meters, but as we got on the boat in earnest, the visibility gradually increased..
Because the sky is dark, you can't see far, but it feels like the visibility limit is virtually gone..
“Bersil, did you find out anything??”
“no. Since there are no related facilities... … . First of all, I'm going to go with the feeling that I'm just collecting samples rather than doing research..”
“is it…….”
Bersil, a wizard, sailed from the rocky island and picked up floating objects, but found nothing in particular..
‘Would it be different if it were Raven??’
I thought so too, but I wasn’t too disappointed..
What would come out of researching something like this in the first place? We're explorers, so if we can just collect samples and sell them for a good price, that's great..
‘Then I guess I can just leave Versil alone.…….’
I checked the rest of the members..
Erwen, who has good eyesight, was sitting at the observation deck on top of the mast and communicating with the sailing section, while Einar was enjoying the feeling of being a captain at the edge of the deck..
Misha was standing alone and awkwardly in a really awkward place..
However, just as I was about to get closer and talk to him,.
“island! It's an island!”
A new field has been discovered.
***
First discovery after entering the hidden area.
We were so excited that we quickly turned the bow and moved in the direction Erwen said..
and…….
“…….”
“…….”
It froze from afar.
The reason is simple.
“Demon, monster…….”
It wasn't an island.
“……What should I do?”
“oh! Are you going to fight? It seems like the first monster we discovered. You may be weaker than you think!”
“Hey, are you crazy? It's too reckless to fight a monster that size.!”
A monster so large that it could be mistaken for an island..
In the face of this, it was only Amelia and I who truly realized the danger..
“……Yandel.”
Thanks to [Crisis Perception], Amelia can roughly know the level of monsters. Well, it seemed like he didn't know anything other than the grade..
“No, Auyen Rockrobe. Turn the bow right now. We need to get as far away from ‘that’ as possible..”
“…yes? Ah, yes! All right.”
Auyen followed Amelia's instructions without any questions..
Then it came to me.
“Do you know what that thing is??”
Cancer, I know..
huge black carapace.
Elongated neck and head resembling a dragon.
And even the long whiskers on the snout..
“Tol-lapupa. It is a level 1 monster..”
“really… It was a level 1 monster..”
It's natural that these are all monsters they've discovered for the first time..
80% of level 1 monsters, including Tol-Lapupa, only appear on the 10th floor..
There is no choice but to have no information..
‘He even appeared only in Hidden Field..’
A very large monster that could only be seen by entering the hidden field even on the last floor..
‘Nimiral…….’
It wasn't until Tol-Lapupa was so far away that I couldn't see it that I felt a shiver run down my spine..
‘1A level monster appears!…….’
It's a shame because he was a non-starter monster, if it were other guys?
It was clearly annihilated immediately..
1Because level monsters have higher raid difficulty than most upper-tier monarchs,.
‘Should I go back to the rocky island right now?……?’
I suddenly had that thought, but it was too bad to give up like this, so I continued sailing..
And time goes by…….
[00 : 01]
7work day is over.
This means that the first floor has already been closed..
‘Okay, then it is practically confirmed that this is not a hidden field.…….’
As I expected, this place is a new class..
And maybe the number of floors…….
‘B1.’
Yes, since the second floor is already there, it seems like it will be marked as the first basement floor..
Um, but then what is the name??
Usually, when a new tier is opened, the official name appears on the Stone of Honor..
‘You'll know that when you go out.’
As I consoled my shocked heart after seeing a level 1 monster, I continued my voyage again..
“Wow!”
Bersil, who had been scooping up floating objects as if fishing throughout the voyage, let out a scream..
“Monster! It's a monster!”
I quickly approached the railing and looked down to see a monster climbing up the wall of the ship..
“uh? What is this guy? I don't think it's a murloc or a frogman..”
Einar came running to me after hearing the word “monster” and asked me, and I couldn’t give him any answer..
I thought it might really exist because it was a new tier..
[Laugh, Lunch, Lunch!]
It was a new monster.
I don't know the grade, classification, or name..
