Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 85
85Baron Hua Martohan (1)
When I got out of the sewer.
What greeted me was the sky that had already set and two familiar faces..
“Bjorn! You're safe.!”
“Shavin? why are you here?”
“Why are you here? I came here because I was worried because you didn't come to report on the request even after several hours.!”
Um, I see..
I feel grateful that you came to pick it up in person..
however…….
“Two of us?”
If something really happened to us, wouldn't it be a reasonable decision to send another explorer after daybreak??
Instead of organizing a party made up of administrative office workers and library librarians,.
“what! What about those eyes? How skilled a wizard is Ragnar?!”
Only then did I check the face of the librarian who came with me..
His demeanor was definitely different from what I saw in the library..
“Hmm.”
Polished Robes.
Scrolls and potions hanging from his belt..
And in his hand he holds a magic wand that looks quite expensive..
I don't know how good the skill is, but I'm sure it's equipment that a typical librarian's salary wouldn't be able to afford..
Boy, was he actually rich??
“Bjorn, who are these people??”
“Shavin Emoor. I am an employee of the administrative office who entrusted this request to me. And this one… Ragnar Lithaniel Peprok.”
“It's not Litaniel, it's Litaniel.!”
“Anyway, he's the librarian at the library I used to go to..”
“Hehe, that's right.”
After briefly introducing the rest, starting with Misha, I made a formal statement..
“I'm sorry to have you come here at night..”
“no need to apologize.”
“If so, say thank you. I never thought you'd come this far.”
“……Please say thank you to Shavin. Because I was just forced into it..”
The librarian says that and turns his head..
Why does it seem colder today??
She wondered if it was because of her mood, but Shavin grinned and clung to her..
“Ragnar, are you being forced into it? I was very worried too.”
“Are you worried? When did I do that?!”
“You said you might have lost your way because the sewer road is complicated.?”
“Shavin, stop fabricating things. That's just a possibility. That means it won't be a big deal either..”
“Hmm, was that so??”
Shavin smiles while looking at the troubled librarian. From that alone, I think I can roughly understand what kind of relationship these two have..
Well, that's not what's important right now..
“Enough chatting, let me report on the request..”
You have to move quickly if you want to go back to your accommodation and rest before the end of the day..
***
Sewer patrol results were simple..
One vagrant found and killed, no other problems..
Because the video recording device was shattered, there is no evidence that the request was completed properly.…….
It was helpful to have my identity card with me..
“Hans Marcom. I remember it. He is a criminal wanted for robbery and murder and is on the run. Including the request fee and additional allowance, it is 180,000 stones. If you visit the administrative office tomorrow, we will pay you right away..”
“I don’t have to ask for the fact that I broke the video recorder??”
“that… I'm going to try to solve the problem by saying it well. The above will probably tell you that it's okay. You experienced something very special this time.?”
“It's a special thing…….”
It's not really wrong, but I didn't know if they would even consider that part..
However, rather than saying that it was because the administrative office is a flexible organization unlike the guild, it would be more correct to say that Shavin did me a favor..
“The star that rises at dusk will guide us…….”
After waiting for a while, a person came from the temple that Shavin sent a message..
It's not an ordinary temple…….
He was a paladin who carried a fearsome greatsword on his back. He checked the body we showed him in detail and nodded..
“It's the renegade Elisa Behenk. This denomination will never forget this merit..”
The voice is kind without any hint of arrogance, and we can even feel the respect for us..
But I won't forget?
Isn’t this a bit vague?.
“By balls, do you mean a reward??”
Like a barbarian who knows no pretense, he spoke bluntly..
The paladin just smiled kindly..
“There is a misunderstanding. The bounty is from the Explorers' Guild..”
“Does this mean I can’t get money if I hand it over to you??”
“Haha, I'll send an official letter to the guild as soon as the sun rises tomorrow, so don't worry about that..”
“……Right.”
Well, it makes people feel embarrassed.
I should have said that a long time ago.
“Hey, paladin? Earlier, she lost her memory while fighting with that woman... Can you check if there are any other problems??”
“of course.”
Afterwards, the Holy Knight left after using [Advanced Purification] on each of them. We need to quickly take this body to the temple.?
“We'll just go now. I think I have a lot of reports to write tomorrow, so I should at least go to bed early..”
Shavin and the librarian were the same..
As it was late, I turned around and disappeared as soon as I finished my business..
Um, so I guess I'm done with everything for now.?
“We'll meet again tomorrow and talk about the reward..”
“Ugh, it’s like I’m finally going back.!”
“I think my body smells worse than when I went to the labyrinth! Hahaha!”
We dispersed and headed to our respective accommodations..
The time of arrival was 11:30 PM..
I wanted to rest right away, but I went into the bathroom first and scrubbed my body for a while to wash away the dirt..
It was only after that, when I lay down on the bed, that it felt real..
‘It's been a tough day.’
I don't know why I have to feel this way after completing a 150,000 stone request.…….
I came back alive this time too.
***
The next morning, everyone gathered together and visited the guild to collect the reward..
Fortunately, the Holy Knight took care of the matter quickly, and I was able to receive it simply by presenting my identity card..
For reference, the amount is…….
“Ten million stones, I can't believe it. Hahaha!”
Even if divided by five, it is a huge amount of 2 million stones..
When we met in the morning, smiles bloomed on the faces of those who were complaining that the sewage smell had not gone away yet..
“Now I see, Bjorn, you've been lucky, huh? For some reason, ever since I met you, it feels like money is just falling from the sky.!”
Yeah, you probably feel that way.
Because I was the one who got my head blown off by a psychopathic bitch..
Even Rottmiller added a word:.
“……I don't believe in superstitions, but at this point I have no choice but to believe in them. Bjorn, it's clear that Lady Luck is with you on your journey..”
I know it's a compliment, but it doesn't feel good to hear it..
Why is it that the things I worked hard for, rolling around like a dog, are thanks to a goddess I’ve never seen?.
“Then I'll just go.”
“huh? Where are you going? I need to have a drink at least?”
“You must also visit the administrative office..”
“Oh, I told you to come to collect the commission fee. We'll have a drink together, so have a nice trip..”
Well, even if it’s just empty words, you don’t say you’ll go with me..
“Bjorn! I'll go with you?”
“Okay, you had a hard time yesterday, but you should rest..”
“Uhm, okay.”
After distributing the reward, we headed straight to the administrative office..
A five-story building reminiscent of Seoul Station’s old office building..
I went up the stairs and headed to the facility management department on the 3rd floor, where I was able to meet Shavin without difficulty..
“Bjorn! You came!”
As always, Shavin is wearing a uniform-like uniform. Maybe it's because she's wearing the same clothes as everyone else, but she doesn't really feel like she stands out..
No, I think I stand out.?
“Hey, that's the little Vulcan?”
“I heard that if you use that ability, you will grow enormously.…….”
“What are you all talking about? Oh my, you're so crazy…….”
Was it a woman’s first job??
As soon as you enter the facility management department, you can hear loud whispers coming from all over the place..
I feel like a monkey in a cage.
I decided to finish my business and leave..
“Now, all you have to do is sign the payment confirmation form here. If you do not have a registered signature, you can just write your name..”
“That's right.”
I soon received the money and signed the documents..
But as I turned my back on the car and was about to leave, Shavin caught me and said one thing..
“ah! right! If you have time, please stop by the library..”
“library?”
“Ragnar, that child has prepared something special for Bjorn.?”
he said that?
Looking at the playful eyes, I think it would be okay to listen to it with a certain level of sensitivity.…….
“i get it. Stop by whenever I have time.”
“yes Definitely, definitely!”
I'm sure you have some business to do, so I'll have to stop by..
***
After leaving the administrative office, I returned to the bar where my group was..
There was nothing more to see, it was a mess..
Since it was still daylight, I thought I would restrain myself a little..
“No, even if it's true? Hahahahaha!”
“Don't lie, you old dwarf! How could a person's name be Dick Johnson...? Nyaha! Nyahahahahahaha!”
The dwarf and Misha were very drunk and talking and laughing, and Dwalki was giggling to himself with his head on the table..
“Kkeuk, I am the great wizard Riol Warb Dwalkie…….”
As I was sighing at the sight, Rotmiller greeted me politely..
“Oh, are you here too? How about it, nothing special happened?”
“That seems like a question I should ask. Why is it already like this??”
“Didn't you make a lot of money easily this time? Everyone seemed to be in a good mood..”
“……Right.”
I answered that and approached Misha..
Then he took the beer glass he was holding and lifted it by the back of his neck..
“Argh! Who, who… … ! Bjorn? When did you come??”
“I just arrived. and stop drinking.”
“…profit! You are like my dad?”
Misha looks at me with disgust and rebels.
I was about to say something before climbing further, but Misha suddenly bursts out laughing..
“ah! right! My dad doesn't even care about this? Nyahahahaha!”
……Boy, I'm really not feeling well today..
Huh, I thought I would just get some rest today..
“Okay, if you’re bored, drink this..”
“Okay.”
I couldn't let him get any more drunk, so I ordered tomato juice, poured it into Misha's mouth, and sat down next to him..
I don't know if he's a dwarf, but if he gets so drunk that he can't control himself, I have to take him to him..
Because I'm the only one heading in the same direction.
“Haha! You two are so strange!! There's something! There's something there!!”
“Don't talk nonsense, if you're drunk, drink water..”
“Haha, you are still young. Does this look like beer to you? To me it's just water! water!”
“……Take care of it..”
I decided to pay no attention to the dwarf and ordered some food to satisfy my hunger..
As I was doing that, Misha, who must have sobered up a bit, was squirming next to me and staring at me..
“what… Is there anything you want to say??”
“There is!”
The answer comes back as if you've been waiting for it.
I felt uneasy for some reason, but I nodded..
“……Try it.”
Misha slapped his intoxicated cheek a couple of times, then caught his breath and opened his mouth..
“father bring you once—”
“oh! Who is this! Isn’t this Bjorn, Yandel’s son?!”
“huh? Who is that person??”
The man interrupted Misha and called me in a loud voice..
He was the one in my memory..
“you…….”
“Have you forgotten your name yet? It's Hans! Hans Hodge!”
“……It did.”
The name came to mind right away, but I was confused about the order..
This guy, with his skinny anchovy body and freckles, has a Hans code of B..
For your information, I ran into Einar at a bar when he left the party. He also advised her to go to the guild to save her companions..
‘But what use does this bastard have to me??’
Is it because I have encountered many Hans since then??
As soon as this guy started talking to me, I started to feel uneasy..
For some reason, it feels like something shit is going to happen..
“Can I sit down??”
“No, I have nothing to say to you..”
“Hmm, it was a coincidence that we met like this—”
“It will happen soon. So leave now.”
“Yeah, I see. I just did it because I was happy to see you.…….”
As I put up an iron wall to avoid being tangled up, Hans B looks sullen and turns his back to leave..
Although there is no basis, it feels like I have overcome one hurdle..
That was the moment I felt like that..
Suddenly-!
1The floor door opens and a group of knights with the same family emblem engraved on their chests enter the bar..
“It's Mozlan!”
Mozlan.
One of the city's highest armed forces, accessible only to 'knights' of noble birth..
“Why are they in this corner bar?……?”
As they are notorious for saying that if they are captured by Mozlan, there is nothing left but blood and death, everyone's attention is drawn to them as soon as they enter..
Before you know it, the bar is filled with silence..
“It's over there.”
According to the commander's instructions, the knights move to one place in perfect order..
Unfortunately, that was the direction I was in..
‘Nimiral.’
What is it again this time??
I was looking back on my recent actions one by one to see if I had made any mistakes..
[Be wary of those with a lot of resentment anytime, anywhere.]
What the tribal shaman said while reading fortunes suddenly comes to mind..
Also, as I was returning to my original seat, I saw Hans B standing close to me in the hallway, giving way..
‘Wait a minute, if you have a lot of resentment…….’
Could it be that you were talking about Hans??
I've definitely never had a problem with them.…….
That was when my thoughts led to that point..
Clap.
A group of drivers stop in front of our table..
And then he looks at us and speaks in a deep yet intimidating voice..
I froze in shock as I held the fork..
“Riole Warb Dwalki, you are under arrest for insulting nobility..”
Surprisingly, it wasn't me this time.
