The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 9
(3)
4.
Ruben Empire in the Central Continent.
The Empire is the world's most powerful country, both in name and reality, with enormous influence across the continent..
However, there are remote areas that even these empires cannot reach. The vast desert in the south, the jungle in the east, and the snowy mountains and grasslands in the north..
Among them, the 'Village of Tramps' was created right under the snowy mountain. A village created by the gathering of wanted people who committed crimes and fled from the empire. This is truly lawless.
Since most of them were criminals, it was extremely rare to earn money by working properly..
Most unknowingly made a living by robbing travelers who stopped by, or robbing outside the village..
like right now.
“I saw that bag earlier?”
“More than a hundred pieces of silver, I think.?”
“really? hey, that's awesome.”
1st floor of an inn with lights off.
The men each sat down and exchanged conversations while sharpening their knives. Then, the man in the corner suddenly spoke up..
“But maybe not nobles?”
“you stupid kid What noble in the world only has one mercenary??”
“You can't be a noble in the first place.”
“'Cause niggas, they came over the mountains.”
came over the mountain.
Everyone's eyes changed at these words..
“that is······.”
“They're called savage bastards..”
A vast grassland beyond the snowy mountains.
It is the realm of barbarians far from civilization. Guys who have nothing to do with the Empire. Even if I disappeared without a sound in a town like this, it meant no one cared.
“But women are no different?”
“that's right. He didn't look like a barbarian..”
“hey, that's better You can play with it moderately and then sell it expensively..”
Some men giggled..
Then they grabbed knives. A sharpened knife. Everyone's eyes turned ugly.
“well, now······.”
“Let's go up if you're ready.”
it's time to work.
The men moved as if they were accustomed to it. By the time I passed the creaky stairs and reached the second floor. Someone spoke to the one in the lead.
“hey joel.”
“why?”
“Unconditionally target the savages. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like an ordinary guy.”
Warning mixed with concern.
Joel laughed hysterically..
“You haven't tried it once or twice, so what are you so worried about? Don't worry, just watch.”
In the first place, the bread they were going to eat had a gourd of medicine. I should have just passed out by now..
The moment I walked with that certainty.
Suddenly, Joel's eyebrows quivered..
‘what? just now······.’
I think I heard a voice.
I listened carefully, but there was only silence beyond the door. Did you hear me wrong? The moment she held her sword while thinking that,.
Kwaaang! Kwajik!
with the sound of a door breaking.
A huge grab flew through the door..
Without a chance to dodge, I was caught by the head. I can feel the tremendous power.
Joel opened his eyes..
“oops! hehe!”
Originally, the moment he grabbed his head, he intended to swing the knife. But he couldn't do anything. It was because of the extraordinarily strong grip.
‘Sue, I can't breathe!’
All I can do is struggle with a painful face.
This was Joel's last thought..
Wooddeuk!
At the end of the sound of something crushing.
Joel slumped..
5.
“shit! noticed!”
“all at once!”
After Joel collapses from foaming.
Men rushed from beyond the stairs..
Holding a black-edged knife.
Usually in this case, there are two options. One was running around, and the other was finding something useful as a weapon or shield in a room..
However, Ulan's choice was neither.
cooong! thump thump!
not backing down, running in reverse.
It was something the men did not expect. This soon brought embarrassment, and embarrassment created a gap. And Ulan did not miss a chance.
puddeudeuk!
Fist punched in the face.
The nose bone was shattered in one blow. Then, twisting his body, he hit his head with his elbow, then lifted his knee high and broke his chin..
Pooh! Kwajik!
All three fell in an instant..
Uhlan's offensive did not stop there. He used the stunned man as a shield, then charged towards the stairs..
“uh, uh uh?!”
“shit! Aaaaaaaa!”
Truly an ignorant rush.
The men poured onto the ground floor like dominoes. Formation collapsed, I lost my cool.
Now this is Ulan's battlefield.
puck! Kwadeuk! Wooddeuk!
Fists and arms, legs and knees. Efficiently subdued the enemy using the whole body.
Is it because of the ignorant superpower??
Those struck by the uhlan never rose again. Around the time I caught and subdued even the person who tried to run away from the inn.
“Joel's gang got hit!”
“Stop him! don't let me run away!”
The villagers came pouring in.
It seems that they are all in one group. The proof was that he was holding a weapon in his hand and looking this way with unfavorable eyes..
‘Then I have to knock them all down.’
Ulan clenched his fists..
If I swung an axe, I didn't have the confidence to subdue it without killing it..
But at that moment, something strange happened.
gurgling! Kulleong!
Land that sways like the surface of a lake. Soon the feet of the villagers were sucked into the ground..
“what, what?!”
“The floor has turned into a swamp!”
“It's magic! he uses magic!”
The villagers shouted in bewilderment at the sudden change. Meanwhile, Ulan intuited what the nature of the incident was..
‘Is it Noah?’
Ulan's prediction was correct.
Noah came out and spread the talisman everywhere. she asked as if she had just run out of sleep..
“no, what the hell is going on?”
“I do not know either.”
Ulan shook his head..
“Let's start with suppression.”
“ok, I guess that would be nice.”
Noah agreed too..
The moment we agreed, there was nothing to hesitate.
The two dealt with dozens of people, and soon succeeded in subduing them all..
“Now, let's hear the reason for the attack.?”
Noah started questioning.
The reason was obvious. Because their purpose was silver coins and Noah. After a while, Noah suddenly made an expression of realization..
‘Oh, I see. For some reason, from the first time I saw it, I thought it was a place I had seen a lot.······.’
This is the place in Noah's memory.
To be exact, the place that appears in the character story of 'Noah Darshen'. 8 years ago, a village where young Noah was captured and sold to slave traders.
‘······village of tramps.’
Noah's eyes darkened..
On the other hand, those who were subdued by Ulan started screaming loudly with shameless faces..
“Ooh, we're imperial!”
“If you carelessly touch it, you won't be safe either.!”
“An army will come to subdue the barbarians!”
“You don't want to turn the empire into an enemy?!”
The moment I was talking about a threat that wasn't a threat.
Noah said as if tossing.
“Do not lie.”
“what, what?”
“This is a town of vagrants. The den of criminals who committed crimes and fled from the empire. The empire is not idle enough to send an army just because the criminals are gone..”
After her words, the villagers' faces turned pale. As if it was stabbed in the middle.
“I guess it's true.”
Ulan muttered curiously..
“But how do you know that Didn't you say you were here for the first time??”
“······!”
Noah's eyes widened instantly..
look of regret.
“S, I heard from Master!”
Noah hurriedly evaded the answer..
Ulan stared at her..
Noah reflexively averts his gaze. The more you know, the more he hides.
“Let's say that for once.”
If you have a chance later, ask at once.
I need to find out what the hell they're hiding inside that little body.
End of these thoughts.
Ulan grabbed the ax rolling on the floor. She then strode over and struck the neck of the man nearby..
Kwadeuk! degur!
The ghastly sound of blades tearing through skin.
Along with the sound of his head being cut off, blood gushed out. Perhaps because of the somewhat unrealistic sight, Noah froze for a moment..
“······ah?”
The same goes for the other wanted.
For an instant, I felt the illusion that time was frozen. The only thing moving here was the uhlan and the ax in his hand..
Fuck! Quadduk!
The second wanted man's head was blown off.
third, fourth, fifth.
Furthermore, just before the head of the sixth wanted man was separated, Noah shouted, closing his eyes tightly..
“Ooh, Ulan! what are you doing now······.”
“clean up.”
Ulan replied calmly..
To wield a sword means, on the contrary, that you are prepared to be stabbed. Above all, they were the ones who wanted to commit murder for money. There was no reason to save.
“hee hee!”
“buy, save me!”
Is it because of the intuition of approaching death??
The wanted men screamed and begged for mercy..
Of course, it didn't work on Ulan at all. Just as he was about to swing the ax again.
“wait a minute!”
Noah stopped Ulan again..
It was still with tightly closed eyes.
“There are far better ways than just killing them! in a way that benefits us!”
“good way?”
“Yes, I'm sure Ulan will be satisfied..”
Is there a better solution than splitting hair? Out of curiosity, Ulan silently picked up the axe..
some time after that.
After tying up thirty wanted men with ropes, he spent the night in the vagabond's village..
5.
next morning.
Ulan and Noah left the village as soon as the day dawned. And after moving diligently for three full days, we finally arrived at the Imperial Territory..
A small town on the outskirts, Kabian.
The place the two headed was not the inn, but the city guard. It was to hand over the wanted men who had been subdued in the village of vagrants..
and the result.
“Thank you both for your cooperation..”
“Here's the promised payoff.”
received a substantial reward.
One hundred and eighty-six pieces of silver.
It was like earning twice as much money as the original travel expenses. And she was handed one more, special reward.
「3express pass.」
There are restrictions on use in many ways, but if you still have it, you can safely move to your destination..
“I hope you hand it over to the guards.”
“It would be easier if I just killed it, but there's nothing to gain, right? So it's much better to hand it over to the guards and collect the bounty..”
Noah shrugged..
Actually, there were other reasons..
‘It's been 8 years since I entered the game.’
Now, I have adapted to this world quite a bit. But the sight of people dying right in front of my eyes. No matter how many times I try, I never get used to it.
So Noah decided to turn the wanted men over to the guards. It reminded me of something similar to this happening in the game..
‘Anyway, thanks to you, I made money.’
Ulan will be satisfied with this..
The time when I tapped the thick money bag with a wide smile. Ulan spoke again.
“Other than that, it seems that he worked on other tricks as well.?”
while coming here.
Noah performed eccentricities on the wanted men every night. It was an act of attaching an amulet to the body or drawing a picture on the forehead..
Every time the wanted men screamed loudly. as if being tortured.
“Whoops, that's right. I put a curse on you.”
“curse? what curse?”
“The Curse of Immortality and the Curse of the Harvest.”
The curse of immortality is a curse that gives the target a tremendous headache if they hold a grudge or intent to kill. At the same time, it gnaws at the target's vitality..
“And the curse of the harvest is a curse in which the soul of the target is returned to me when it dies. I can use that soul to strengthen my magic or increase my magic power..”
Right after Noah's answer.
Ulan asked in surprise..
“Didn't you hate people dying??”
“that's right. Just for 'seeing'.”
I can't get used to seeing people die in front of me no matter how many times I watch it. But this is only when it is 'seeing it in front of your eyes'.
“It doesn't matter if I die or not outside my sight. Even if that's death due to my curse.”
So I put a curse on it with ease.
Because I'm not going to see you again anyway. More than anything, I felt like I had to do this to make Noah Darshen feel better..
It doesn't matter if you kill me.
Noah smiled brightly..
“······.”
Ulan stared at her in silence..
When I first saw it, I thought it was just a small and timid child like a rabbit, but when I looked at it again, it didn't seem like that..
‘and······.’
For some reason, I have a strange feeling.
I don't know yet because it's been a while since we've been together, but I'm sure you'll know how it feels when you spend more time together..
‘Let's keep watching for a while.’
Ulan's eyes sank low..
Then Noah's mumble was heard..
“Anyway, I was tight on travel expenses, but I lived with this. For the time being, I can use two rooms. I also eat a lot of delicious food!”
Noah laughed excitedly..
Ulan and Noah took their first step again with their childlike smiles..
Two months later, towards the end of winter.
the two reached their destination.
It is the final gateway to Arsene Academy, the home of Count Dermore, and the busiest city on the continent..
was the capital of the empire.
