Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 94
94angry barbarian trophy (1)
My vision goes dark and light slowly returns..
‘It's my room.’
Bjorn Yandel’s inn room, not Lee Han-soo’s.
I checked my watch and saw that exactly 12 seconds had passed since I was called there..
‘Does 1 hour there mean 1 second here?.’
The time gap itself was not surprising..
Because the labyrinth was like that too..
No matter how many days I spent there, it was always noon the next day when I returned to the city..
‘I don't know the principle, but it's a convenient phenomenon..’
Still, I think I need to be careful..
In other words, doesn't this mean that you will be defenseless for up to 12 seconds? Of course, if it's an emergency, you can just log out and come out, so there's no problem.…….
Unless it's an emergency?
Like roasting beans in a flash of lightning.
If something happens in those 12 seconds?
‘It must be difficult to respond properly.’
Well, I have no intention of not using the community for this reason. We just make our subconscious aware that there is this risk..
That way, when something happens, you can make a decision as quickly as possible..
“Phew…….”
I stretch and take a long breath..
I was feeling a little tired..
Mental fatigue, not physical.
‘Actually, I was awake for 12 hours..’
I closed my eyes, thinking that one day, if there was a person who only overslept on this day, I might suspect them of being a player..
I didn't want to sleep right away, I needed time to gather my thoughts..
‘It's a good thing I got in early..’
ghostbusters.
It was a place that was built and operated with more perfection than expected. It was not enough to serve as the source of information I wanted..
Thanks to you, I was able to obtain information about dimensional collapse..
‘It's a rumor…….’
That's a good thing. One thing is certain.
However, for some reason, a sense of desperation and anxiety are growing in size at the same time..
When I first heard it, I thought this was it.
If not this, what on earth is about to explode??
‘……I guess I should be more careful..’
With that thought in mind, I fell asleep..
And time passed and the next morning.
The day to keep the promise to Baron Martohan has arrived..
***
“Have a nice trip! Come and tell me the story!”
I went out to the street while being seen off by Misha..
And as a result of changing carriages several times on the platform,.
Arrived at Baron Martoin.
“Come here. Because I don't have time.”
As soon as I entered the spacious mansion, I was taken to a luxurious room and changed clothes..
I am attending the count's banquet today, so my behavior is not barbaric.?
‘Nimiral.’
Because I'm a barbarian, I experience things like this..
Normally, I would have decorated it neatly for the opposite reason..
“Oh my, look at those muscles…….”
With the help of the maids, he takes off his breastplate and shirt..
And wear shoulder pads on your bare body..
A shoulder guard designed with thorns on one side and an animal skull on the other..
With it on…….
“Could you please lower your body a little bit??”
“That's right.”
The maids on the scaffold whine and wrap something around their stomachs..
A championship belt that is more than a span in size by my standards..
Fuck, why do I have to wear this shit??
One breastplate can protect your entire torso..
“Please raise your arms.”
Afterwards, various fashion equipment was added to my body regardless of my will..
Equipment focused on intimidation rather than defense.
The weight balance was arbitrary, making every movement uncomfortable, and the maids' loose hair kept falling down and obstructing the view..
but…….
‘I know what you want.’
When I looked in the mirror.
Beyond that stood a barbarian warrior who quenched his thirst with dragon's blood and looked like he was eating ogre meat for a snack..
Suddenly a thought occurred to me.
What if you lack defense or practicality?.
Fuck, if I approached you like this, everyone would be busy peeing and running away..
That sense of intimidation was incredible..
It's called Show Window (true) Barbarian mode..
But was this not enough in that guy’s eyes??
“Tsk.”
A goat-bearded man looks at me with disapproval..
So this guy’s name is…….
You haven't heard yet.
“what's your name?”
The butler frowned at my question and gave a short answer as if he didn't want to start a conversation..
“Call me aide.—”
“Sure, butler.”
“……Tsk, I guess he’s an ignorant barbarian..”
The butler was a guy I didn't like in many ways..
Those who grew up without it are adding more.?
From start to finish, he always treats me in a tone that makes me feel like I'm dealing with a subordinate. Actually, the Baron didn't have anything like that..
Do you know that you can do anything??
‘Even so, he is a commoner after all..’
Even though I was grumbling inwardly, I put the insoles into my shoes under the butler's instructions..
Plate boots weigh a whopping 7kg due to excessive design greed. Adding foreign substances to it made it taste like death.…….
“Now it's worth taking a look at. It was too small before.”
What can you say, you idiot?.
‘Okay, let's suffer for just one day..’
Somehow, they said they would give me 1 million stone per day..
This isn't just a saying, it was a real expense..
Anyway, things like how to move towards a rude butler, and where the Baron should stand when talking to someone else..
After receiving training in such details, it was time to leave..
“Time's up. Hurry up and go.”
Exit the palace-like room and head to the front door..
A luxurious carriage was already waiting..
The Baron, whose face I haven't seen today, is probably riding over there..
“Why are you staying still? your location is over there.”
I stood at the head of the carriage procession..
If I walk in front, they'll follow me?
“This is an important mission, so to maintain the dignity of the Baron, be sure to look straight ahead and maintain your posture.…….”
The young butler seemed to not trust me and kept nagging me until I left..
“depart!!”
Soon, a knight riding a horse right behind me hoisted a flag and shouted, and I led the procession at a reasonable speed..
plod, trudge.
As you leave the main gate, you can see the wide paved street at a glance. The first district, the streets of Karnon, the imperial capital, I wouldn't have been able to enter if it were my original status..
Even the store buildings were grand, and the people dressed all tastefully..
Also, the imperial palace, which was not visible from where I live, is revealing its presence from far away..
‘Tsk, I need to clear this place quickly to use the sky auction house.…….’
The butler told me to just look ahead, but I didn't miss this opportunity and walked around looking around..
Was that why??
“stop!!”
The procession stopped once due to a wrong turn..
The young butler ran to me in a lost mood and shouted something..
But I proudly pierced my ears..
So who wants to leave it to the barbarian??
***
The distance from the baron's mansion to the count's house where today's banquet is held is about 6km..
I have a history of crawling on three legs to cover more distances.…….
‘Nimiral.’
I overlooked the fact that I was wearing a full set of equipment that was the essence of irrationality..
Sweat is flowing profusely.
If it hadn't been for the insole I put in at the end, it wouldn't have been this hard..
“Baron Martoin eats it.!”
After walking while chewing on the butler, I finally arrived at my destination..
As soon as the front door of the count's house opens, curious glances come from all over..
There are probably a lot of nobles who don't even go to the castle, but it seems like this is the first time I've seen a barbarian lead a carriage procession..
“Since you put a barbarian at the forefront, you must have been inspired by that anecdote and copied it.!”
“It's such an overwhelming feeling. It felt like a giant had stepped in..”
“Wow, dad, we can't come in like that next time either.?”
The nobles gathered in the outdoor banquet hall filled with banquets warmed up the atmosphere by expressing their sentiments one by one..
Was it a reaction you liked??
The Baron got off the carriage and burst out laughing like I've never seen before..
“This is the first time I have received so much attention just by entering. When I return, I will reward you generously..”
The Baron felt so good that he even promised a bonus..
“I will come to say hello to the Count, so you too can enjoy the banquet..”
Soon the Baron entered the mansion accompanied by only a few retainers. Then, the knights naturally dispersed and mixed into the banquet..
Then I noticed.
“…….”
Being left alone in this large banquet hall.
“Oh my, look at the horns on that helmet. Be scared.”
“It looks like it was modeled after the ancient demon Parseira.!”
Suits, tuxedos, low-cut dresses.
The knights' armor boasts white luster and precious metals that shine like fluttering waves..
I am alone there with the appearance of a barbarian..
This isn't some kind of monkey in a zoo..
“Uh, I walked. Where are you going??”
Just by taking one step, words of curiosity come out from all over the place..
I feel like the PTSD I thought I had overcome will relapse..
Then a man came up to me..
“Thank you for your hard work.”
He was a knight who served as a rider in my immediate rear row..
“You too are a monster. You wear that and walk this much without stopping..”
The driver, who must have been watching my hardships closer than anyone else, chuckles and taps my shoulder..
“How about we go over there and rest together until the Baron comes back?.”
what? Is this man light??
“good night.”
Soon, I followed the driver and sat down in the empty seat..
Although there were all kinds of delicious food around, my appetite did not wane. Perhaps this was a bit of chivalry, but he just sat quietly and quenched his thirst with alcohol..
I suddenly became curious and asked.
“Are you okay with not hanging out with them??”
“If you go, you won't be welcome. I'm an explorer like you..”
For some reason, this guy alone had yellow buds..
“This is Bjorn, Yandel's son. what is your name?”
“Carl's Erimore.”
After making a brief statement, we had a conversation..
I felt it from the beginning, but Carls was a pretty good guy..
Because he was an explorer, he could communicate well, and perhaps because of his status as a knight, he did not show his characteristic arrogance..
That butler should watch and learn from this.—
“What are you doing now? Who told me to sit down?”
The butler who had entered the mansion with the Baron saw me and came running at a quick pace..
It looks like he doesn't like the fact that he was resting.
“Hey, aide. Stop it. This guy told me to take a break.”
“…Is that so??”
When Carls, who was worse than him, muttered, the butler was shocked and lowered his voice..
“Get up when you're all rested. What would people think if the barbarian sat down and rested??”
“……You're taking a break?”
“No, people will think you are that weak. So wake up. Whatever your essence, you must be an iron-blooded warrior today..”
Due to the butler's urging, I eventually got up from my seat without being able to rest for long..
‘……Okay, let's suffer for just one day..’
Wasn’t it a promise to make you proud like the Baron’s trophy?.
Let’s thoroughly act out what he wants..
Of course, it was far from resignation..
iron blood warrior.
A barbarian in this world where fists are ahead of the law..
barbarian.
Yeah, if that's me…….
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”
As soon as the mind control was over, a shout broke out..
“Wow, what are you doing all of a sudden?!”
Do you know how much it cost to custom-make the gear I wore today, or how pathetic I looked when I got lost?.
The butler who used to make insulting remarks frowns..
Seeing that makes me wonder why I held on until now..
Am I not a barbarian??
“I just felt like doing that.!”
In that sense, like a barbarian, I picked up a piece of meat next to me..
Is it like a tomahawk??
There is a bone attached to the meat like a handle..
“Yeah, this is what I wanted—”
Like a savage, I eat the meat with my bare hands and the butler nods that he is right..
but…….
“……?!”
The expression on my face hardens as I watch you chew down all the bones..
To him, I spoke politely, maintaining my stature as a barbarian warrior..
“Butler, I want to smash your head..”
“……what?”
The kind of words he had probably never heard in his life. Looking at the butler with an expression of doubting his ears, I kindly added an explanation..
“I feel like I want to do that for some reason.!”
Ahh, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Even while I was saying that, the bones of some unknown animal were breaking into small pieces in my mouth..
***
“No, you're joking..”
“Just kidding?”
When he tilted his head as if to ask what that meant, the butler's complexion turned white..
I guess I finally realized it.
Whatever it is, I too am a barbarian..
“Did what I said sound like a joke??”
Barbarians are simply ignorant.
And be faithful to your feelings.
Of course, the butler may not have any knowledge of the barbarian's physiology..
but…….
‘If you've done some background research on me, you probably know what happened in the guild..’
Of course, there are excuses..
There was no other choice back then..
Excluding plunder, non-payment of taxes, and a few laws related to nobility, most things can be punished with fines..
I thought that if I could prove that I was not a plunderer, I could handle the rest somehow..
But that's something only I know.
To others, I just looked like a crazy bastard..
“……I have some work to do, so I'll go. Well, are you taking a break?.”
The butler hurriedly left with an awkward look on his face, as if he had really investigated my background..
Carls, who was watching the situation, laughed out loud..
“Ha ha ha ha ha! It was the first time in my life that I knew he could make an expression like that.!”
For some reason, my actions a little while ago seemed good to this guy..
“But is this okay??”
“Okay. Because it’s sturdy.”
Rather than an innate ability, it is a residue acquired as the bone strength stat increases..
For some reason, I started to have an appetite, so I started eating food in earnest..
“look at that!”
“Oh my, how barbaric.!”
The noble ladies looked at me as if they were seeing a creature they had never seen before, but it didn't matter anymore..
What's wrong with looking like a savage?.
If I could just let go of shame, there wouldn't be a more comfortable position..
“Behel—laaaaa!”
“Why are you suddenly screaming again??”
“it's good!”
It was hard to hesitate for a moment in the classy banquet atmosphere..
I also started to enjoy the banquet in earnest..
