Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

79 episode request (3)

“Bjorn, are you going to the Holy Land today?”

“There was something I couldn’t finish yesterday. I’ll be back in the evening, so don’t cheat and just practice.”

As soon as the day dawned, I headed to the Holy Land to receive the 3rd level engraving that I couldn’t get yesterday.

The cost is 2 million stones, the same as the game.

It also coincided with the fact that each time you went through a stage where Spirit Engraving was a multiple of 3.

“Keukkeuk, this is the first time I’ve seen a rich barbarian like you. You have three forks.”

When the money is put into the jar, the shaman asks.

“There is a soul of flame, a soul of iron, and a soul of ferocity. Warrior, what will you choose?”

I listened to the shaman’s explanation just in case, but it didn’t seem like anything had changed due to the reality patch.

therefore… … .

“I will choose the spirit of the wild.”

I chose the wild without any hesitation.

Well, each of these traits is the core of my shield Baba.

「I have activated the 3rd level of immortal imprinting. Physical resistance and fire resistance are greatly increased.」

「Your body value is increased by +50.」

“A wild spirit dwells in the body.”

「The character’s base threat value is greatly increased.」

「[Feral Eruption] can be used.」

threat figure.

In other words, the probability of attracting aggro of monsters is increased even if you breathe.

In addition, [Feral Eruption] temporarily increases the threat value by 3 times, and you can get a physical bonus proportional to the value.

‘Originally, I only used it occasionally when raising the Great Sword Baba.’

In my early days, I often covered the Barbarian’s lack of survivability with immortal imprints.

However, [Feral Eruption] at that time was a double-edged sword.

The stronger the character, the more enemies will come.

Of course, it was different for Shield Baba.

‘No risk high return.’

What attracts monster aggro?

As a tank, it would be rather welcome.

But in the meantime, the physical level also increases?

Not only does the stability increase further… … .

When used with [Giantization], which greatly increases the threat level, you can feel the mulberry flavor properly, even temporarily.

‘I didn’t know that I would finish the 3rd stage engraving on [Giantization] in 3 months.’

While they are satisfied with their own growth, they also feel bitter at the same time.

I was just struggling to survive… … .

At some point, it became like this.

“I’m tired, go see.”

It was five o’clock in the afternoon when I got the ghost stamp and left.

Since Misha promised to cook beef, I quickly stopped by the library to check the appointment time and returned to the dorm.

and… … .

After various experiments, I found out the trigger conditions for [Feral Eruption].

“Behel—raa!!”

This is how you write it.

lunch the next day.

I went to the meeting place by myself.

The name of the store is ‘The Promise of Flowing Water’, so I was wondering what the store was doing, but it was just an ordinary dessert shop.

Fuck.

“… … Barbarian?”

“what? Is the owner in debt?”

When you open the door, your gaze gathers.

Somehow it’s worse than the library.

I haven’t come to a place I can’t come.

“You are right, Bjorn! Here!”

It is not efficient to change places, so I went to my seat and sat down.

“Are you a client?”

“yes. My name is Shabin Emoore, 7th grade officer of the Ravigion Administrative Office. Please feel free to call me Shabin.”

“I do.”

Shavin Emour.

The race is human. I thought they were young because they were friends, but they seem to be in their early thirties.

The first impression looks pretty good, but you’ll soon find out what her real personality is like by talking to her.

“I didn’t order because I didn’t know what I would like. What should I do?”

“Do it with grilled meat in beer.”

“… … yes?”

“It would have been without it. I just hate it.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

Why did you call me to a place like this? A silent protest would have been enough… … .

I hurriedly got to the point.

“So, what is the request?”

“Didn’t you hear from Ragna?”

“Ragna? Oh, you mean the librarian?”

Shabin flinched at my question, and then nodded as if in understanding.

“You didn’t know your name. but… … If it’s that child, it could be. It’s called Ragna Litaniel Peprok. I’m not a bad kid, so don’t be too angry.”

I’m tired and I have nothing to do.

Because I didn’t even ask in the first place.

I murmured over and over again.

“Ragna Ritaniel Peprokra… … .”

“It’s not Ritaniel, it’s Ritaniel.”

yeah, that’s it anyway.

Why is your name so hard to pronounce?

“… … Are you a noble?”

“No, it’s not like that… … .”

When I asked a question without realizing it, I got a slightly strange response.

“I can’t tell you in detail. If he finds out, he will definitely be angry.”

Yeah, I mean, there’s a story there.

“Tell me the contents of your request.”

“It’s a simple patrol request. Sometimes criminals and taxpayers hide in the sewers, requiring regular patrols. By the way… … .

Shabin wiggles the tail in a strange tone.

As if waiting for something.

“… By the way?”

Just in case, I tried to insert a jigsaw, and Shabin continued the explanation with a face that said that she was right.

“Isn’t it true that the explorers who were originally entrusted with the patrol commission didn’t come back from the labyrinth this time? As Bjorn knows… … .”

“… Sippy?”

“Did something big happened on the 3rd floor this time? Looks like he got caught up in it! How can this be a very sad story?”

I don’t know if it’s a sad story, but I know there’s something wrong with him.

“That’s why you decided to entrust the quest to me.”

“yes. Because it is an official request from the administrative agency, it cannot be entrusted to anyone. So while looking for the right person, Ragna told me about Bjorn!”

“Right.”

I know the approximate situation.

but… … .

“Why was it me? Could anyone have been more suitable?”

From what I’ve heard, it’s a request that is close to a chore.

The administrative office must have entrusted the quests to the explorers as if they were subcontracting.

Obviously, the pay won’t be that great either.

However, even so, those who would do this quest must have been scattered throughout the city.

‘It’s probably not sent by the demon hunters… … ?’

I had assumed even the worst situation in my heart, but the answer was absurdly concise.

“Are you the most talked about person these days?”

“What?”

“Honestly, I was a little curious. I also wanted to meet you in person… … .”

In a nutshell, it means that they took the cause of requesting the administrative agency to satisfy their personal curiosity.

“Oh, I’m going to pack some cookies here later, so can I brag to my co-workers that Bjorn gave it to me?”

“… … do whatever you want.”

Looking at that bright expression, it doesn’t look like she’s acting.

“So what are you going to do? The pay is only 200,000 stones, but it wouldn’t be a bad offer for Bjorn either. It’s a bit harsh to say, but… … .”

Oh, again?

Can’t you just tell me directly all the time?

It’s not like you’re playing with people.

“… … Is that so?”

When we hit the ball again without a soul, Shabin continues to talk with a smile about what makes him so happy.

“There are people who think that receiving a request from the administrative agency is a reward in itself! Since our selection criteria are a bit strict, I have to say that other organizations consider them to be proven talents… … ?”

This time, for some reason, the horse’s tail went up.

When I try to explain it at the barbarian’s eye level, there seems to be no ambiguity… … .

“It means that your credibility has increased.”

I am a barbarian with a modern mind and a savage body.

Shabin applauds for keeping it short and concise.

“yes! Simply put, yes! uh, what… Even if Bjorn-sama’s reputation isn’t like that, I’m sure we’ll get requests from here and there.”

“Not really.”

I smiled bitterly.

It’s been two weeks since I got the reputation of being a little Balkan.

Nevertheless, this is the first time they have contacted me for the purpose of a request.

I roughly guess the reason.

‘It’s probably because I’m an ignorant barbarian.’

There’s a difference between being good at fighting and being smart.

But maybe I can use this opportunity to change my perception of myself.

But again, it shouldn’t be too much… … .

“That request, I will do it.”

Soon I made my decision.

***

“Then let me go.”

After explaining the details of the quest, the barbarian leaves the hall without any regrets.

Seeing her back, Shabin smiled brightly.

‘He was a fun person after a while.’

For some reason, I wondered if the child was talking to someone else, but now I think I know.

Should I say that talking with an innocent person after a long time makes me feel more at ease?

He must have felt the same way.

No matter how passing words were.

It was safe to say that it had been a few years since that child mentioned someone else first.

‘Still, I was nervous, so I met him in person, and he doesn’t seem like a bad person. It seemed like he didn’t know anything about that child… … .’

Shabin sip her tea and organize her thoughts.

Next time, it seemed like it would be good to pretend that it was a coincidence and make a place for the three of us. If left alone, the two will never become friends for the rest of their lives.

‘Maybe I’m going too far… … .’

The time has come for him to make friends.

two days later.

Ten days left before the labyrinth was opened.

We arrived at the entrance to the sewer under the guidance of the administrative office staff.

Somehow, the team was half-poon with all the members.

“… … Bjorn, you didn’t tell me it was going to stink like this.”

“I didn’t even know it was like this. But if it was called sewerage, shouldn’t I have expected it to some extent?”

“Well, that’s right… … .”

Yesterday, when we were all gathered together, we talked about the request, and this is what happened.

[You do not have to share the request fee. Sewer exploration with all kinds of ghost stories? ha ha ha! How can I fall into such a place?]

[Can I come along? Still, reading books these days gave me a headache, but I think it will change a bit.]

[Hmm, if it was a sewer, the road would be complicated, right? It would be perfect to test out my newly acquired abilities.]

[A place where criminals hide? It might be dangerous alone.]

Everyone was bored because they practiced every day, so it came to the conclusion that they would follow along.

So I just said yes.

There is no need to share the request fee, but there is no need to shy away from free manpower.

‘I don’t know about the other kids, but Rotmiller, the explorer, would be of great help.’

After passing the map received from the administrative agency staff to Rotmiller, a video recording device to record the patrol process was inserted into the groove of the helmet.

So now the preparation is over.

“I’m leaving soon.”

He took the lead and opened the iron door.

Then I went down the damp stairs to the basement.

When I reached the last step, there was barely any light, so I had to turn on a torch.

“Isn’t it wider than you thought?”

“So the people who live in hiding do not come out from time to time. Ha ha ha!”

The rippling gutter water and the ditch next to it.

Torches flickered, giving off an unfamiliar atmosphere.

“This is it.”

Follow Rotmiller’s instructions and walk over the ditch, being careful not to fall into the water. The farther away from the entrance, the noticeably darker the surroundings.

“You know what? It’s a myth that a terrible monster lives in the sewer… … .”

The dwarf laughs and spreads rumors about what’s so fun.

Novel from https://readwn.com

Misha and Dwalkie took it seriously again.

“Dwalkie, could there be a real monster?”

“I heard that all the waste from the tower goes to the sewer. If reagents or monster corpses randomly met and acted, it would be possible to create such a monster.”

“Uh, is it like that?”

also what it is

Our predecessor alone was paid 150,000 stones per synagogue and went in and out of the sewer for two years without any problems.

Clap, poke-

He sighed inwardly and moved his feet carefully.

But is it because of the ghost stories that the dwarf has been talking non-stop?

Every time I walk, I hear a particularly loud noise.

‘The five of us are doing this, so it seems like we’ve entered some kind of dungeon.’

Shiba, something really isn’t going to happen, is it?
