Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 561
561Tuesday Destination (1)
The goddess gave an oracle in the form of a precognitive dream..
It was about me dying in the near future. By the exploration force, who slowly thought it would be nice to believe it,.
Exciting-!
The heart of a warrior who senses a crisis is greatly stirred..
However, I calmly checked this first..
“Are you sure??”
“…yes?”
“What I mean is, have you confirmed for sure that I will die? in that dream.”
It was like a cliché in modern media..
Why aren’t there quite a few cases like that?.
You make it look like you died from a gunshot, and then you wake up saying you're wearing a bulletproof vest and head to a happy ending..
“I do not know.”
In a situation where a definite answer was more important than anything else, he spoke carefully..
“Even though I sprayed the Amman potion on the Baron's body with his eyes closed, the potion did not react..”
The potion didn't work…….
Okay, this is a bit difficult..
‘I… Are you really dying?……?’
To be honest, it doesn't feel real at all..
It was just a mess in my head..
‘what should i do?’
The first method that came to mind was one.
How about fooling this guy like you fooled Amelia's sister?.
But even here, there was this question..
‘If it's a prophecy that can be avoided that way... Did they really show it as an oracle??’
No, why did that situation arise in the first place??
Wasn't the purpose of the exploration force to bring me back alive??
Oh, what a sudden thunderstorm this morning—.
“…Baron!”
As I was shaking my head, he urgently shook my body..
“Didn't you hear? This is not the time to be like this. You need to run away quickly..”
“Run away……?”
“The Goddess also spoke. This is not a recorded fate. What kind of future we face is up to us..”
To interpret it, it means that it is a future that can be avoided depending on effort.…….
“you… Why are you saying that now?……?”
“uh… … ? Well, that's right……?”
Hehe, I should have said this first..
I feel like I know why he always gets mistreated by others..
‘Anyway, when I say it's not a recorded fate, I mean it's a record stone.…….’
I quickly finished assessing the situation..
Rheatlas is one of the three gods representing this world. And since it was said by such a being, it must be true that the future can be changed..
This is a different story..
‘Well, it wasn't as big a deal as I thought..’
‘Should I say that the red light is on for ‘Destiny Chaser’??
You know that negative events happen, but if it's something you can change, you can get through it..
Yeah, I mean…….
“Thanks for letting me know. But I will stay here.”
I politely declined Parab's advice that I should run away immediately..
It was a very simple reason..
“I will solve this problem on my own, so just say the word. What I saw in my dream, in full detail.”
Running away has never worked out well..
***
Soon, when I returned to the place where my colleagues were, Amelia suddenly spoke to me..
“His expression was quite serious. Was it an important conversation??”
“Not really. It wasn't much of a story.”
Amelia didn't ask any more questions after hearing the vague explanation..
He just keeps his mouth shut and glares at me for a moment before turning his head away..
“…….”
…Are you upset??
It was my intention not to cause any unnecessary concern until I had it clearly sorted out in my head..
I couldn't help but mention this incident too..
Unbelievably like a barbarian, I turned it around a bit..
“Emily, what would you do if I were in danger of being executed by the commander??”
“……?”
Amelia, who at first looked at me as if she was saying something useless, suddenly gritted her teeth..
“Those guys... Were you planning something like that??”
“I'm not sure about that yet. So the answer is?”
Amelia answered my question as if she was asking something obvious..
“I will definitely stop it. Even if I risk everything.”
“There are more than a hundred people over there.?”
“Didn't I tell you? I will do everything to stop it.”
I could even feel a strong determination in Amelia's voice..
‘Yes, as expected, this is the answer I got back.…….’
While I was grateful, my taste buds were bitter..
In the end, this problem does not end when I die..
If that happens, everyone around me will get caught up..
‘……Should I have just run away??’
I suddenly had that thought, but I tried to shake off my weak feelings..
If I did something like that for no reason, there was a possibility that things could turn out even more strangely..
‘Let's take a closer look at the situation. 'Cause there's still time before that happens.’
For reference, there are two reasons for determining that there is time..
I heard every detail about what I saw in my dream from Parab..
1. The place was an island.
If you listen to the description, it seems like it's a village head island..
We haven't arrived on the island yet, so that won't happen..
2. It wasn't the rainy season..
To put it simply, not only is safety guaranteed for the next few days,…….
3. For some reason, Erwen's hair was short..
In other words, you can now know the deadline in advance..
Therefore, it will not be too late to flee after giving sufficient thought..
“Come on board!”
Afterwards, according to the exploration group's schedule, they left Library Island and boarded the ship..
For reference, our temporary group of 4 was divided into three warships, not our usual ship..
This is much better if you want to survive the peak rainy season..
‘It's only been 3 days now and I'm feeling so much better.’
Monsters are literally pouring from the sky..
Of course, there was no damage to the ship as dozens of wizards were infusing magic into the defensive magic circle imprinted on the warship itself..
Kwaang-! Kwasik-! Cooung!
Monsters hit the barrier and fall into the sea, and their blood flows down over the barrier..
“Surprisingly, it's not that tricky. Evost! What is the horsepower consumption per hour? Is it as expected??”
“yes! There is currently nothing wrong!”
The three ships began to move forward through the silvery current..
Most of the monsters were stuck in the barrier and fell into the sea, but not all of them were like that..
In the case of sea monsters, they followed persistently, and in the case of flying monsters, they obstructed navigation in the air..
[Gooooooooooooooo-!]
There was even a case where the Hipramagent appeared from under the water and grabbed the ship..
“It's Mobileaus.!”
There have also been instances where second-class marine monsters classified as super-sized appear..
None of it was a big problem.
A warship is a ship built for battle..
Pow-! Pow-! Powwow-!
Dozens of magic cannons equipped on the ship continue to emit explosive noise and clear the way..
In addition, the military engineering propulsion device, which is of a different level from the one on our ship, rotates at maximum power throughout, increasing the ship's speed..
“Imaiz Nula Kini Pythia!”
Wizards pour out attack magic using the magic circle engraved on the ship itself..
And in the meantime.
Kagak! Kagak! Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go-!
In order to pass through the frozen sea, the icebreaking device attached to the bottom of the front rotates and destroys the random mobs that stand in the way..
‘……How much does a boat like this cost??’
It was on a different level from the warships I had previously boarded on expeditions to the Dark Continent..
Should I say that there was a difference in the purpose of the ship in the first place??
At that time, it was a ship to transport as many people as possible, but this ship was a ship built strictly for naval combat..
6Time, 12 hours, 18 hours…….
It had been a little more than a day since I left the library island..
“Commander! I see my destination!”
The destination has appeared.
***
Day 118 of entering the labyrinth.
We arrived at Chonjang Island through the peak rainy season..
without a single victim.
Therefore, from now on we have only one concern..
“Count St. Red, what are you going to do now? Are you going to get off the boat and enter the island??”
There are still three days left until the rainy season ends..
Well, now that the rainy season is slowly reaching its peak, it seems like the frequency of monsters appearing is decreasing.…….
“No, I will wait here until just before the rainy season ends..”
Jerome chose to stay on the boat..
Having personally experienced the rainy season, it seems that they decided that it would be very dangerous to go to the ground like this..
Well, I don’t believe it when real people say it..
“So wouldn’t it have been better if we had come out after the rainy season as I said??”
“There is no guarantee as to how long the journey here will continue, right? I decided that if I have to go through the rainy season someday, it would be a good idea to experience it when I am ready..”
Well, then I had nothing to say..
Because you have experienced it yourself, you will be able to make the most accurate judgment even in an emergency..
“Moreover, one of the missions of our exploration force is to investigate this layer. After gaining as much experience as possible, I must return and convey this record to the royal family. All of the strange phenomena that occurred after the rainy season ended..”
Even if you say that, it seems like it's a pointless hardship from my perspective, but it's probably different from a soldier's perspective. In fact, there is even a separate engineer in charge of filming during the fighting..
‘Then you can think of it as staying on the boat until the rainy season ends.…….’
Thanks to you, Erwen became important.
Even after the rainy season ends, as long as his head is intact, his precognitive dreams will not come true..
“Erwen, do you have any plans to cut your hair short??”
“yes? I like it now... … . Still, if you like it, that's fine.…….”
“What are you talking about? I like long hair! Never even think about cutting! Do you understand?!”
“yes… … ? ah… yes I will never cut it!!!”
Okay, now that it's like this, I won't have to voluntarily get a haircut.…….
Even if my hair burns and I end up bald, I must protect my hair..
While I was making that decision, Einar shouted..
“oh! Bjorn, were you there?!”
What is that.
I was so dumbfounded that I just laughed it off, but for some reason, Amelia was looking at me with meaningful eyes..
“Hmm, Yandel, I never thought that would be your taste..”
…Do I need to explain this??
I don't know, but Raven, who made eye contact, cleared her throat and began to twirl the curly hair that fell down to her chest with her index finger..
“Hmmm……!”
Oh, I don't know.
Just think for yourself. It's not important.
I already have a lot to think about, but I don't want to waste my energy on this..
“I'm going to sleep for a while, so don't touch me until the shift order comes..”
So, in order not to be disturbed, I went into the cabin, lay down on the bed, closed my eyes, and gathered my thoughts..
‘Just looking at the cancer, it doesn't seem like he came with an order to kill me... … . Execution out of the blue?…….’
How did things turn out that way?.
‘I think the village chief is involved.…….’
There is no solid evidence, but that was the first thought that came to mind..
Of course, the village chief has his suspicions..
There is a suspicion that he may have the means to take over other people's bodies like an evil spirit..
‘If you really have that ability... … . It's something that could happen.’
There are even two versions in this case.
When Commander Jerome St. Red is captured.
and…….
‘If my body is taken away.’
Both situations can explain the scene where the exploration force executes me..
Therefore, the only important thing from now on is.
‘So what can we do to prevent that situation??’
First, we worked hard to devise countermeasures under the premise that the hypothesis so far was correct..
‘They say Erwen had short hair.…….’
How about pushing it away right now?.
Then that scene doesn't work, right??
‘……No way.’
After all, hasn't it been said that the future can be changed through the mouth of a goddess? It was clear that the presence or absence of her hair wouldn't make much of a difference..
something.
yeah something……
What if there is a bigger change?.
flash-!
Suddenly, it felt like lightning struck in my head..
Maybe I was making it too complicated..
‘Because in the goblin's precognitive dream, the person who killed me was Jerome St. Red.…….’
If we just get rid of him, wouldn't everything be resolved??
