Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 78

“Do you know anything about what will happen in the near future??”
“Well, I can't see that either. However, be wary of those who have a lot of resentment at any time and place. Your destiny is blessed with people like that..”
“easily.”
“If you can resolve their resentment, it will be a blessing, and if you cannot, it will be a misfortune..”
No, he doesn't know what the word "easy" means.?
“I'm hungry so go out now.”
“I will.”
I came out of the tent after hearing the shaman's order to welcome the guests..
And with my body exhausted, I trudged towards the direction of the city..
As I was walking, I slowly felt energized..
‘Is it thanks to the spirit imprint?.’
In the first stage of immortal imprinting, natural regeneration increases, and in the second stage, endurance and anti-magic power increase..
Anti-magic power is literally resistance related to magic damage, and endurance affects the maximum amount and regeneration speed of stamina..
In other words, unlike physical stats like strength or agility, they are not eye-catching abilities..
but…….
‘Not bad.’
If these boost stats are not supported, the character will not be able to play its role later..
In addition, in order to unlock the 6th level imprint, which is the core of my training method, I need to slowly raise it from now on..
‘3The step engraving itself is quite useful..’
Originally, we were planning to break through to stage 3 right away, but we will pass that to tomorrow..
Well then, I have some time left today.—
“Bjorn!”
As I was rechecking my plan for the day, I heard a familiar voice from somewhere..
A shout that seems to be a whisper somewhere.
For a moment, I thought I heard it wrong, but…….
“Bjorn!”
As soon as I checked the direction from which the sound was coming, a human face popped out from the shaking bushes..
“……Einar?”
“Be quite! If you get caught, you'll be in big trouble.!”
In response to Einar's urgent request, I unconsciously squatted down in front of the bush and lowered my voice..
“…why are you here?”
“After hearing from the elder that you had come to the shrine, I came to visit for a moment. If you want to get to the city, don't you have to pass by this street?.”
Um, I see..
But I knew when I would come?
“Still, I'm glad I came early. My legs were still numb!”
I was thinking of just waiting for you to come..
As expected, it’s like Einar..
“Anyway, you never know who might pass by, so come on in here..”
It was a nice face, and I was curious about what was going on, so I went over the thick bushes and crouched down in the middle of them..
Only then did I see Einar's body clearly..
I asked, genuinely concerned..
“……Why were you so thin??”
Due to Bone Knight's essence, his height has decreased to the mid-170s..
Still, I didn't feel small because I had muscles, but how is it now?.
Einar smiled bitterly..
“Hehehe, it's embarrassing, so don't look at it too much. Because I know better than to be ugly.”
In just one month, the warrior's lumpy body changed into a slim, lean, muscular body..
“Is it possible that the elder does not provide food properly??”
“It's not like that, I compressed my muscles every day and before I knew it, it became like this..”
“compression?”
“There is such a thing. I don't know either, so don't ask me in detail..”
“Right…….”
No matter what, what kind of training is it that turns that healthy kid like this??
I couldn't help but feel devastated and kept my mouth shut..
Then Einar smiled and changed the subject..
“I heard about you from the elder. I got the nickname Little Vulcan, right? As expected, Bjorn is awesome.!”
“It's no big deal.”
“What happened there? I'm curious about your story.”
Einar looks at me with bright eyes..
As you continued to practice every day, you must have been curious about what was going on outside..
I felt sorry for some reason, so I sat down and told the story in earnest..
“Oh, you're on the same team as Hikurod? thank god. I was anxious when I fell in, but I can trust him..”
Teaming up with Hikurod.
And the various incidents that occurred in the labyrinth.
But just when the story was almost over.
“Ainar, second daughter of Pnellin!!!!!!”
A roaring cry comes from afar..
“Did you run away again?!!!!”
“Wow, this is a big deal. I think the elder noticed that I ran away..”
Einar quickly got up from his seat at the sound of a roar that was deafening even from afar..
I asked worriedly.
“Is it okay??”
“Okay. Today’s training will only double. Don't worry too much, it's okay as long as you don't sleep..”
No, I'm more worried.…….
“I already thought I was going to die of boredom, but it was nice to hear interesting stories. So please come again next time.”
“i get it.”
“Then I will go!”
Soon, Einar turned his back and started running in the direction from which the sound came..
Therefore, I was slowly trying to continue my path..
“Oh right! Bjorn!”
Suddenly Einar turns around and calls me..
And then he said something unexpected.
“I couldn't speak earlier, but I'm glad you looked good.!”
“I like your expression?”
“Should I say it was more venomous in the past? Well, I wasn't that bad either... … ! Still, I feel a little more relaxed now! Maybe it's because my new colleagues are trustworthy.!”
Um, I see.?
I'm not sure…….
“Einar!!! Can’t I jump out quickly?!!”
“Ugh, anyway, see you later!! I will continue to train hard and return as a more reliable warrior.!”
Soon Einar disappeared from sight..
But I looked at that place and thought for a moment..
‘The poison is gone…….’
Is this really a positive change or a negative change?.
I didn't know yet.
***
Since the spirit imprint ended early and there was quite a bit of time left, I visited the Magic Tower..
This is to fill this week's research quota..
“uh? Mr. Yandel, why today? He wasn't supposed to come tomorrow.?”
“I came today because I have work to do tomorrow..”
“No, if you have a prior commitment, shouldn't you make something to do??”
……It's definitely a straight argument.
But I am one good barbarian.
Unaffected by worldly etiquette and customs.
“What does advance promise mean??”
“Ugh, it only happens when things like this really happen... … . Okay, just sit back and wait. I'll just finish what I'm doing and start.”
“That's right.”
Let's wait a moment. Today's experiment is ready..
For your reference, the content of today's experiment is to check how a vampire's anti-magic power affects mental magic and to measure the exact value of reduced solar resistance.…….
“That's explained, so figure it out..”
“Well then, let's get started?”
support support-!!
As I was immersed in the cruel experiment tools, the experiment ended sooner than expected..
But the car is leaving without looking back.
“Hey, Mr. Yandel.!”
Raven called me urgently..
I was wondering if you had something to say about research.……
“So when will you tell me about that?.”
“What do you mean?.”
“It's the relic used to kill a vampire! How did you know? Are the [Tear of the Goddess] there??”
Ah, again?
This is a conversation that happens every time I visit this place..
“I say it again and again, but you say you don’t even know what it is..”
“It's happening again.?”
Raven crosses her arms and glares at me..
But does he even know? Even if you do that with that small stature, you'll just look arrogant..
I asked bluntly.
“Arua Raven, what are you so obsessed with [Tear of the Goddess]??”
At first, I thought he suspected me of being an evil spirit..
But looking at his behavior afterwards, it seems that's not the case..
Just look at the question about the pills and the letter..
If you suspected me of being an evil spirit, it would have definitely come out in some form during our conversation..
“……It's not because of that relic..”
She finally gave an answer..
If you're not doing this because you suspect it's an evil spirit, then why are you doing this?.
The answer was something I really hadn't thought of..
“It's because of the book that contains information about the relic..”
“book?”
“A summary of cracks. You won't say you don't know.?”
No, even if you look at me like that, I really don’t know.…….
“I understand that you want to keep the existence of that book a secret. Because I was like that too. Basically, knowledge becomes more valuable the fewer people who know it.?”
“……So what do you want to say??”
“If you have the book or know the material, I would like to buy it. There are a lot of things I can't read because mine aren't stored properly..”
When I look at those studious eyes, it doesn't seem like they're trying to ridicule me with made-up words.…….
It was really because of the book?
“If that was the goal, shouldn't you have asked that from the beginning without going round and round?.”
“But in a negotiation, the side that seems desperate loses.?”
Well, that's right.
As I was nodding my head without realizing it, she confessed her true intentions..
“If I admitted that I had found the holy relic, I was planning on trying to negotiate as if it was no big deal. Even Mr. Yandel knew its value, but it was of no use.…….”
“That's why you chose the straight method..”
“yes. So Mr. Yandel, can you please stop being honest now??”
I thought for a moment.
I was completely certain that the item I used at the time was a holy relic, so insisting like I did before doesn't seem like a good idea..
It's better to admit what needs to be admitted.
“I got that [Tear of the Goddess] or something by destroying the statue in front of the fountain..”
“also! I knew it!”
“But that's it.”
“…yes?”
Seeing her confused, I spoke quickly..
“While you guys were searching the area, I was bored and broke it and it came out..”
“then… I don't know about books?”
She was muttering with a blank expression, but quickly came to her senses and shot back..
“Wait. There is a contradiction? If that's true, then you can think of using something in that situation that you don't even know what it is.?”
A rather sharp question.
However, since it was already expected, there was no problem with the answer..
“There was a goddess's pattern drawn on the box, so I thought it might be from there. She actually got along well.”
“……It's real?”
“On the honor of a warrior, everything I just said is true..”
Soon, Raven's expression turned gloomy as she uttered the modern man's oath, which was no different from a cheat..
“Then I… What on earth did you do??”
After finding out that he shadow boxed alone, he seemed to feel a sense of shame..
While I feel sorry, I also think that.
Players' Community 'Ghostbusters'’.
I thought the greatest advantage of the place was the ‘exchange of information.’…….
‘Maybe it wasn't for someone else.’
I'm someone's player,
Also, to some, it is an evil spirit..
so that…….
“I'm hungry so I'll just go!”
Like a barbarian, I open the door and leave the room..
Misha also follows me as a benefactor..
Even the dwarf who treats me like a friend.
Einard always encourages me and looks up to me, saying I will become a great warrior..
It's all the same.
Bjorn, son of Yandel.
I can't be true to anyone in this body..
Well, I don’t think Lee Han-soo’s body will be any different..
***
After leaving the Magic Tower, I went straight to the commercial district and picked up the completed magic panties..
Then the time is 5 PM.
It's a bit of an awkward time to end the day like this..
Therefore, I headed to the library with my tired body..
That would be at least a little more productive than going back and resting..
“Parsitiev.”
After receiving the magic from the librarian, I went straight to the bookshelf..
Even if I said hello, there was no way they would accept me, and I didn't have the energy to do so today..
however…….
“……You became famous.”
For some reason, the librarian, who was usually too lazy to talk to me, started talking to me..
“It just so happened that.”
I gave a cursory answer and left..
In the past, I thought it would be beneficial to become friends with a wizard.…….
‘Actually, it's funny to even dwell on things like that now..’
6Became a level explorer.
And it also got the nickname Little Vulcan..
Not only are the specs sufficient to join a team with a wizard, but the current team also has a wizard..
Even though I am not from the Magic Tower…….
‘Seeing as he's a librarian, it's probably the same for him too..’
I thought to myself and chuckled..
Because I knew that no matter how many reasons I gave, it was just rationalization..
plod-
Grounds that exist only for justification.
In the end, true feelings are different..
I just didn't want to do that..
I didn't want to calculate my every move and try to gain favor from others..
At least today, I was a little tired..
thus—
plod-
I stop walking towards the bookshelf..
And instead of avoiding problems, we face them..
‘So it's only natural to say that Einar's poison has disappeared..’
I have a problem.
It's a mental problem.
My body has become quite livable, but the emotions that I thought were dry are slowly revealing themselves..
Bad news for me, for whom survival comes first..
So what is the solution??
‘I don't know, let's do what we have to do..’
turn your back.
And then he approaches the librarian..
“Don't just look at me blankly, if you have something to say, say it quickly..”
“…How did you know I had something to say??”
“It was just that kind of look.”
There are some reasons, but they are difficult to explain..
As I stared at him with such emotion, the quick-witted librarian succinctly explained his business..
“I have a friend who works at an administrative office. They said they were looking for an explorer to take on a mission, so I recommended you..”
“He recommended me?”
“Strictly speaking, it is not recommended. Somehow, the topic of you came up during a conversation, and my friend who heard it asked to make a meeting with you. Of course, you can refuse if you are busy or don’t like it.—”
“good night. Let's meet once and listen to the story..”
The librarian, who was looking at my answer with a surprised expression, nodded slightly..
“Well, I'll tell that to my friend..”
Request…….
The time has come for such an event to take place..
‘Does it mean that cities now have a means of receiving money?.’
As expected, it was good to hear it..
