Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 54
54angry witch's forest (1)
“So does that mean they were the looters then??”
Rotmiller nodded to the dwarf’s question. And this made the situation clear.
3There would be no such coincidence that the guys who were proudly plundering on the floor happened to come towards us while being chased by a monster..
“I don't know who it is, but they're targeting us..”
“I don't know why, but that's it. Maybe he's pretending to be chased and trying to come between us..”
Rotmiller, who agreed with what I said, added his opinion..
I thought the same thing too..
“So, what should I do now with my health?!”
How do I do something?.
Luckily, thanks to Rotmiller, we were able to recognize their trick early on..
“I'd better take advantage of this opportunity..”
“Using it?”
Misha tilted his head..
However, there is not enough time to explain the reasons in detail..
It looks like they arrived too..
“Boo, lights! It's a light!”
At the same time as a man shouted, three men and women covered in blood and sweat entered the radius of our torch..
“If you are not confident in your acting, just sit back and watch..”
He whispered and made eye contact with Rotmiller. Then he slightly nodded his head..
As expected, I can communicate well with this guy..
Even the dwarf who was worried seemed to understand exactly what I meant..
Well then, let’s get started.
“don't come any closer.”
Seeing them running, I immediately raised my shield and moved forward to block their path..
“Hey, look! The group was wiped out. Please help! I will do the case……!”
A desperate yet urgent expression.
This guy is also good at acting.
Well, isn't it natural to be a plunderer??
“put down your weapons.”
“Ha, but there is a monster behind!”
A human man in his early thirties pointed behind him..
A group of orcs chasing them beyond the torch radius were staring in this direction..
“profit, profit!”
As the number of people increases, it is becoming difficult to approach, but we don't know how long that will continue..
So please let us in quickly..
It was obvious that that was what the man was trying to say, but so what?.
“It's your choice. Put down your weapons or get out.”
I spoke stubbornly once again, and the answer did not come easily..
It's going to be a pain to do.
“…….”
Because in the labyrinth, weapons are equal to life..
Maybe we were secretly wondering if we even noticed..
But it still doesn't matter.
No matter what choice they make, we have nothing to lose..
“…Put it down.”
The mustachioed man must have made a decision and dropped his weapon on the floor, and the other two followed suit..
‘Did you decide to be greedy?.’
While I was satisfied with the choice, I was also a little worried. They take this much risk to target us.?
There was no reason to even guess.
“Okay, then come back to that state slowly. If possible, keep everyone away..”
“There's no need to go this far, right? we just need help…….”
“If you want help, do as you are told..”
“i get it.”
Afterwards, as they arrived one by one as instructed, Rotmiller approached and checked for the presence of hidden weapons..
“…There doesn't seem to be any threat..”
“Right. Murad, you watch them..”
“Oh, I see.!”
The dwarf stiffened and nodded, then walked with his arms and legs lined up like a North Korean soldier..
For some reason, a sigh escaped me, but…….
Fortunately, looking at their facial expressions, they didn't seem to notice anything awkward about their behavior..
“profit, profit…….”
“profit, profit, profit-!”
Afterwards, I left the trio of marauders in charge of the dwarves, and as I watched the orcs, they soon turned their backs and left..
Even the orcs thought it was too risky to fight against such a large number..
‘Anyway, all the monster bastards are clever..”
Well, it's nothing compared to human babies..
In any case, the avoidance of a useless battle could be seen as good news for us..
It would be very tiring to worry about the battle with the orcs while facing new problems..
“Ugh, I thought I was going to die.…….”
Soon the group of orcs disappeared, and the woman who was the number one among the three fell to the floor with a sound of deflation..
However, did he come to his senses too late??
She stood up from the floor with an expression of regret and bowed politely towards us..
“ah! My name is Elisha. thank you for saving us!”
But is it because of the cleavage that is clearly exposed through the torn top??
“Huh, huh. Hikurod Murad.”
The dwarf cleared his throat and turned his head..
It didn't seem like he was acting innocent..
If you see that your head is turned but your eyes are still focused on one place,.
“It was Mr. Murad! So what is this person’s name??”
“This is Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
“Oh, I see!”
A woman who introduced herself as Elisa approached me and grabbed my hand..
And again, like before, I lowered my head..
Of course, the cleavage was emphasized this time too..
“Ha, I really survived thanks to you! What would have happened if I hadn't met you all?…….”
It was a bonus that he let out a gasping breath and spat a voice in my face that seemed to tickle my ears..
Now that I look at it, it seems like the reason why only this one among the three had his shirt torn so much was for this reason.…….
“Bjorn! Your eyes are so bright!”
Misha misunderstood my sincerity and muttered..
However, I did not bother to resolve the misunderstanding here..
There will be a chance for that soon.
“Name them one by one.”
To remove any suspicion from these guys, we started with a simple census..
The first to introduce himself was a mustachioed man who was presumed to be the leader..
“Hans Argoda.”
what?
“…My name is Hans?”
“It's a common name. I guess there's someone with the same name.?”
“Oh, um, well… That's it.”
I nodded awkwardly.
Hans A died after getting his head cut off by my shield..
I haven't seen Hans B since I accidentally got some advice at a drinking party..
And Hans C, who I met today, this guy with the mustache here will probably follow A's steps..
Anyway, enough of this, next.
“My name is Irita Theisen..”
Tayson, a blonde spearman with a tall physique..
His age is estimated to be in his mid-twenties, and I can't find any special features..
If I had to pick one, it would be to show good manners.?
“I thought this was the end of the situation, but thanks to you, I was able to avoid it. Thank you again.”
When Tayson bent his waist to 90 degrees, Elisa made a fuss in her characteristic natural tone..
“Really! If it weren't for you, what kind of situation would you be in by now? Rheatlas must have sent us a favor.!”
“Leatlas?”
Rotmiller froze at one word..
Then he spoke carefully to Elisha..
“if… So, Miss Elisa—”
“Oh, I didn't tell you my last name yet. My name is Elisa Behenk. as you see…….”
Elisha looked at his clothes and looked tearful..
The originally white outfit was torn here and there and covered in sweat and dirt..
“…Not as you can see? Still, for now, I am attending Leatlas.!”
“her!”
“You really were a priest..”
While the dwarf simply let out a brief exclamation, Rotmiller closed his eyes and briefly made the sign of the cross in front of Elisa..
Wow, this guy is good at acting..
“The star that rises at dusk will guide us…….”
“Yes, the star in the twilight will guide us.”
Did they think it was ready rice??
Elisha also smiled brightly and made the sign of the cross while facing him. And with that, the wary air suddenly became lighter..
Well, at least it seemed that way to them..
‘We all know this guy can't really be a priest.—’
“Elisa, if it’s okay with you, could you take a look at my wounds??”
what?
“sorry! I should have helped you with that first.…….”
No way, it's not an impersonation, it's a real priest?
While I was flinching at the unexpected development, Hans C lifted his shirt and showed the stab wound..
Elisha then recited a prayer spell and brought his hand, which had begun to glow white, to the wound..
But what are you doing??
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
The wound really healed in an instant..
Even though I watched everything with suspicion, it was a true divine power that could not be disagreed with..
How can you be sure if you've never seen it??
First of all, not only is the sound different from the potion, but you can also see the expression on Hans C's face over there..
Isn’t it so gentle, as if there is no pain at all?.
“The star that rises at dusk will guide us…….”
Was it still an unexpected development?.
Rotmiller, who was embarrassed for a moment, soon regained his senses and continued to make the sign of the cross..
A reaction like a sentient being who has witnessed a miracle right in front of his eyes..
It seemed a bit excessive to me, but in fact, given the structure of the worldview, I guess this is a common reaction..
Just as other races grow up in sacred places, most human children learn to read and build knowledge through temples from a young age..
The weight of the name Shingwan is different..
“ah! So now can I get my weapons back??”
Elisha naturally asked.
The way he spoke was as if he had finally realized that he had no weapon. Perhaps showing divine power was a stepping stone to this end..
The reason I boldly chose to throw away my weapon earlier was probably because I believed in this..
But what should I do with this?.
“It can't be like that..”
“yes yes?”
Staring at her with a perplexed expression, I acted naturally. Well, there's no need to reveal that you already know his identity..
“I know you are a true priest. But so what?.”
I am a barbarian who believes in ancestral spirits..
Since I didn't receive anything from the priests, it's not strange to react like this..
Soon, Elisa smiled awkwardly and looked at Rotmiller and Dwarki, who were both humans..
It looks like he's trying to ask for help somehow.…….
I stubbornly took my time.
“Weapons are returned when they leave after receiving compensation from them..”
“See, compensation fee.?”
“What are you surprised about? No matter whether you are a priest or something, as long as you enter the labyrinth, you are an explorer. must follow customs.”
“Ah, yes… I heard that there is such a custom. then… How much can I give you??”
I pretended to think for a moment and then said.
“20010,000 stones would be enough..”
“…What, what??”
Elisha asks as if he heard wrong.
But I was proud.
“I don't think it's an unreasonable request.?”
Cancer, this is a noble person..
I heard that bad guys take away all their equipment in return for saving their lives..
“Don't regret it, think of it as the price of your life..”
“but… We don't have that much money.?”
I already know that..
Where are the people carrying cash while entering the labyrinth??
Now that we have the expected answer, it's time to make the next move..
“I won't ask you to reduce the price. at least go outside—”
“Can not be done. I don't believe anything unless it comes from my own people. If you don't have money, pay in kind..”
“…In kind?”
“Hmm, I guess the armor that guy has will do..”
When I pointed my index finger at Hans C, Hans frowned. However, after exchanging glances with Elisa a few times, he sighed..
“Huh, okay, if you save your life like this, it won't be a loss. Instead, there are conditions. I'll take care of you tonight until our fatigue wears off..”
“good night.”
I nodded willingly..
His intentions are clear, but it's not a promise he can really keep anyway, so why can't he do it??
“Irita, can you help me??”
“That's right.”
Hans C took off his heavy armor with the help of Changjae next to him and handed the equipment to Rotmiller..
Okay, first of all, I took off the armor of one cub..
‘At this point, I think I'll start by taking everything I can.…….’
“Well, now that we've paid the price, will you give us our weapons back??”
I couldn't hold back any longer and smiled brightly..
Honestly, I never thought it would turn out this well.…….
“…why are you smiling?”
Hans C looked at me and asked with a stern face..
I didn't bother to answer.
Just as I didn't clear up Misha's misunderstanding that my eyes were gloomy when looking at Elisa earlier,.
Because you will soon know even if I don’t tell you.
“Hey Yandel? If you ask for more here, it will be difficult for us.—”
“Oh, that won't happen..”
I replied and hit Elisa on the head with my mace.,
Powok-!
“Hey, Elisha.!!!”
In any game, it is a national rule to break the healer's head first..
