Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 522
522Hwa Giant Island (1)
60 newbie explorers who came down to the first basement level.
They were shocked for a moment when they saw us alive and well, but they soon came to their senses and approached us first to introduce ourselves..
“Baron Yandel, you are indeed alive. It's an honor to meet you. The leader of the Armin Exploration Team, my name is Mul Armin..”
The Armin Exploration Team does not belong to the Four Great Clans, but is somewhat famous and well-regarded..
It is famous for carrying out exploration even during the war..
“Magnon Nias. I lead the Ainferial Clan..”
Einferial, this is my first time hearing this name..
“This is Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
Unlike those of us who came in through the middle of nowhere, the people in this episode are divided into exactly two groups..
Mul Armin asked me carefully..
“But… The Baron isn't too surprised to see us.?”
“I have some idea of how time passes outside..”
“…yes?”
Mul Armin flinched and glanced at his colleagues behind me..
Do you think there is a player among my colleagues??
I continued speaking quickly before my doubts grew..
“I got that clue during my exploration..”
It's actually not wrong..
Now that I think about it, I was able to infer something from the village chief..
“ah…….”
“But how did you know we were alive?”
The person who answered my question was Magnon Nias, an explorer who looked to be in his late 30s..
“I'm sure the Baron knows about the gathering of evil spirits. Through that place, information from this place was transmitted to the city..”
But why does this guy speak with such nuance??
They treat me as if they are on the same level as me. Do nobles look funny??
As I was looking at him, Armin noticed me and quickly opened his mouth..
“yes. However, since the source is the source, everyone is still skeptical. However, everyone seems to be acknowledging the possibility. Baron.”
“Right.”
Okay, if you do this, it seems like you have laid the groundwork to avoid suspicion of evil spirits..
At this point, a household survey was conducted..
“But you guys are doing quite a bit too, right? I can't believe I've already figured out how to open the portal!.”
“There is nothing compared to Baron Yandel. There were several clues that came from demons. As I thought about the connection between the ancient language found on the monument and the sculptured temple, I wondered if it was possible..”
“So your two clans are partners??”
“It's temporary, but for now..”
No, he speaks really, really short..
how do i cook this?
As I was thinking that, Mule Armin again joined in..
“We met at the Sculpture Temple, and since we were running out of time, we decided to open a portal by combining the pieces we had collected..”
“Oh, by the way, we have two. There was 1 interest..”
“……yes. you're right. So we coordinated the personnel accordingly..”
Somehow, the number of people was perfect, 40 people and 20 people..
There was such an inside story..
“Okay, so that's enough of our talk, would you like to hear some information about this place? Since it's a new class, I thought I'd listen to the story before I go exploring in earnest..”
Ha, really, why is this guy so mean??
A nobleman doesn't seem like a nobleman because he smiles at me.?
“You sound like you're receiving something lent to you..”
When I lowered my voice, he noticed me and changed his tone..
“It's not like that... … . only… Until we find a way to escape, we'll be encountering each other often, whether we like it or not, so let's interact..”
“okay?”
“Our presence will also be of great help to Baron Yandel. The Anavada Clan has quite a few members.?”
We haven't had a long conversation, but I've made up my mind about this guy..
“On the other hand, our Ainferial Clan is smaller than the Four Great Clans, but I am confident that its substance is not inferior. Next month, members who were not able to join this time will follow suit.—.”
Even if this bastard is next to me, he'll only get in the way..
As soon as that thought occurred to me, I stopped talking and opened my mouth..
“Not required.”
“……?”
“I don't need your help, figure it out on your own.”
When I said it clearly, the guy flinched and looked at me intently..
And did you realize that I meant it?.
“…You're making a foolish choice. What if we find a way to escape first??”
“Looking at what you're doing, it doesn't really seem like that..”
“…you will regret it.”
“Oh, most of the people who said that were searched..”
“her!”
The guy who snorted as if he wasn't praying quickly gathered all the members together and started getting ready to leave..
“really… Can I send it to you like that??”
Mule Armin looks at this and expresses concern..
“Ah, it's definitely not right to let it go like this..”
I nodded in agreement and then stopped the guy who was about to leave..
“wait for a sec.”
“…her! Now my mind has changed.?”
“Okay, come here..”
When I called out to him while pointing my finger, he obediently came towards me, even though he had an offended expression on his face. And he looks at me like he's telling me if he has something to say.…….
Powok-!
Since we didn't have time for each other, we quickly hit each other on the back of the head..
“evil!!”
I expected it because the hair was shiny, but the taste wasn't bad either..
“What are you doing?!!”
“Oh, I just wanted to hit him, so I hit him..”
“………what?”
The guy looked blank when he heard my answer, but it wasn't anything I cared about..
so what can you do?
There's nothing other than snorting and glaring.?
“That's all there is to it. Then go on your way.”
“…….”
“Is there a problem??”
“……After all, you can’t believe rumors..”
After that, he quickly took the members and ran away, as if he didn't want to get involved with me..
As I was giggling and laughing at that scene, Mul Armin asked me:.
“…why did you do that?”
Oh, that?
“I don't think there will be a chance if it's not now.”
“There's no chance?”
I just shrugged..
That's because you can't meet the one who left behind again.?
***
The person who left is the person who left, so there is nothing to regret..
So, I focused on the rest..
“Did you say Muel Armin??”
“Yes, Baron..”
“Call me Muh.”
“It's an honor for me. Baron.”
“So what are your future plans??”
“ah… Still, I have a story to tell you about that..”
“to me?”
I was wondering what the story was about, but when I heard it, it was the story of the post that had been posted on the community. The story about being trapped on an island and waiting for someone to come to the rescue..
“Seeing as I got to meet the Baron like this, it must be true that he was trapped on an island. So I'm going to go there first..”
“The reason is?”
“Because those who need to be saved must be saved. Besides, it's a place with no information anyway, so wouldn't it be better than just wandering around??”
“Well, that's it too.”
Meul was the exact opposite of the guy from before..
I understand even though we haven’t had a long conversation..
This guy is pretty trustworthy.
“if… Can you hear if there is anything to watch out for here? I know it's rude, but it will be a big help in protecting the members who trusted me and followed me. Oh, of course I will give you an example as well..”
“What is the case.”
I smiled and told him only two pieces of information in advance..
“If you see the island, take a good look at it first. Last time I got close, there was a Tol-Lapupa floating around..”
“If it’s Tol-Lapufa… Isn’t it a level 1 monster??”
“okay. For now, the only thing that has been confirmed is him, but we can't rest assured..”
“…1It must have been a truly dangerous area, as there could be more level monsters..”
1Meul's expression darkened after hearing the existence of a level monster..
“However, the only thing more dangerous than level 1 monsters is ‘rainy season’..”
“It's the rainy season……?”
“14On the first day, it rains monsters from the sky, and it continues until the 21st day. So I have to somehow find a place to hide in the meantime..”
As I was leaving, I was told about the level of monsters that appear during the rainy season, and Mul's complexion turned pale..
“There won't be a chance... This is exactly what it meant.”
“okay. Well then, we'll just leave, take care of yourselves..”
“yes?”
Mul was taken aback by the sudden declaration of farewell, but I didn't respond and turned around and headed towards where my colleagues were..
You really have to take your mind off things like this..
One step, two steps, three steps…….
‘Well, at this point it's time to catch on..’
Why don't you hold on?
Could it be that level 1 monsters and rain alone were not enough??
‘Well, if this happens, should I go ahead and make a suggestion??’
Just when that thought was blooming.
“That Baron……!”
Muhl grabbed me from behind, and I slowly turned back with an expression on my face that said I didn't know anything..
“What's going on??’
“that is…….”
“Speak quickly. Because I don't have time.”
“…What if the Baron and we join forces??”
Exactly what I wanted.
However, I looked at Mule up and down anxiously..
“Hmm… … . With you?”
“yes. We will never cause any inconvenience to you. I will also hand over command to the Baron..”
Mule, who said so, expressed that the 'Armin Exploration Team' had a lot of experience in such explorations, as they specialized in searching for Gabrielius' arrangements, supporting a small number of elites..
It was information we all knew..
Well, like I said before, these guys are famous in their own way..
And in a very good way too.
“The proposal is not bad, but how should it be distributed??”
Soon, I mentioned the realistic part, and Muhl thought for a moment and then answered..
“Since the Baron came here first and you probably know more, I won't be greedy..”
“exactly by number.”
“Maseok will not claim ownership at all. Instead, please recognize half of all exploration income, including purified water..”
Hehe, look at this guy..
No matter how nice a person may seem, an explorer is an explorer.?
“Instead of dividing the magic stone exactly in half, the share of exploration income, including the essence, is divided at 30%. Of course we have priority.”
“Instead of lowering the stake to 20%, can the priority rights be eliminated??”
“That's not possible..”
When I refused outright, Mul's frown narrowed..
It seems that he is becoming increasingly troubled by the conditions that are practically a slave contract.…….
At this point, it was time to apply the final oil..
“Mul Armin, the only thing left is your choice. But keep this in mind.”
I looked into his eyes and said.
“I, Bjorn, son of Yandel, never give up on my comrades under any circumstances..”
This one was truly 100% pure and sincere..
But was that sincerity conveyed to him?.
“……I will accept those terms..”
20100 high-class slaves were created.
***
Joining Armin's exploration team was a great harvest for me, to the point where I didn't feel like the few days I wasted on the rocky island were a waste at all..
The more I know, the more I must say it was a real country.?
3Rank Explorer Four.
4level twelve.
One priest and three wizards.
A workforce so luxurious that it is difficult to understand that they accepted conditions that are no different from a slave contract..
‘Once you get your hands and feet right, I think you'll be able to get to level 2 somehow.?’
After the power check was over, I exchanged greetings with each member of the Armin exploration team..
“This is Bjorn, Yandel's son. I'm counting on you.”
“Hello, this is Charlotte Amblot, the exploration team’s wizard.……!”
“is it? I need to eat well. Here, eat some beef jerky..”
“Go, thank you!”
“ok, what is your name?”
“Hey, this is Brian Amblot.…….”
“Amblot?”
“ah… … ! Charlotte is my sister.”
“Oh, how amazing you both are explorers! Then what is your name there??”
“Ah, I…….”
It took quite some time to make a statement, but it was still worth it..
‘The signs are good..’
Fortunately, there was no Hans hiding..
