Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

88 episodes Baron Martoane (4)

The content of the baron’s request was simple.

Two months later, which earl holds a big banquet?

He said that all he had to do was follow him and attend.

“Is that the end… … ?”

“Well, I wish I could show some tricks in front of people. Something like bending steel with bare hands.”

In a nutshell, you are going to use me like a trophy that will make you stand out at a banquet… … .

“Can you?”

Well, what do you think of a barbarian?

“That is no problem.”

“Okay then.”

By the way, the quest reward is to release 1 million stones and Dwalky’s ban from entering the labyrinth.

Whoops, is this noble?

Wasting that much money just to show it to others.

‘Well, it’s me who picks up some kongo water and eats it.’

Even if it’s not a Dwalkie problem, it’s good value for money.

That’s a million stones for a day’s comforting next to you?

The smelly sewer request was 150,000 stones.

“Hmm, fine. Then let’s deal with that friend’s problem right away. Think of it as my favor to you.”

The Baron even showed a distribution that solved the Dwalkie problem first.

Later, I wondered what I was going to do if I didn’t keep the request, but… … .

‘It’s probably the nobles who don’t need to worry about that.’

Once again, I feel that I have a long way to go.

It created some powerlessness.

It also gained a decent reputation.

However… … .

‘I’ll have to come up with a plan sooner or later.’

have to have power

As in the game.

And like ever since I woke up here.

Events that threaten my life don’t just happen in the labyrinth.

the next morning.

We gathered again at the meeting place.

It was to check whether Dwalky was allowed to enter the labyrinth.

“How was it? Did the baron keep his promise?”

“I checked today and they said there was no problem.”

“But why is your complexion so bad?”

“Fufu, it’s my fault… … .”

The feeling is bullshit.

Was it such a shock that the second half-brother, Baron Martoin, could not even remember him properly, let alone be wary of him?

As of yesterday, Dwalky’s mentality was completely gone.

Well, I try not to put the tea on myself, but… … .

“ha… … .”

Dwalkie, who was immersed in thoughts several times a day, sighed in relief.

I want you to calm down before the labyrinth opens.

“Oh, rather, you guys should get this. This is the reward I promised back then.”

“compensation?”

“Didn’t you go with the baron to build a negotiation table?”

He took out the 300,000 stones that Hikurod had offered him in great price.

I decided not to take this.

“Okay, are we going to exchange something like this between us?”

“I didn’t go looking for a reward. Besides, all discussions with him are for the team.”

In a situation where two people waved their hands and refused money, it was not only me who was a bit like me to receive money alone… … .

‘Because there is no problem right now if you don’t have 300,000 stones.’

It would be better to put this one in debt.

If you keep going into the labyrinth, it’s clear that you’ll have to give and take, and sometimes you’ll have to make concessions.

“Anyway, thank you. It must not have been easy to bend the pride of a warrior.”

Well… well… … .

To be honest, hearing things like that just makes me cringe.

Because 1 million stones was too much money to care about self-esteem.

“I will never forget this and pay it back.”

“No, why would you pay it back? Bjorn, I will surely repay this debt tenfold.”

“Anyone is fine, so do it yourself.”

“Hehehe, Bjorn must be ashamed!”

What do you mean, seriously?

***

There are 8 days left until the labyrinth opens.

What I’ve done so far has been simple.

Aside from the basic routines such as helping Misha’s training or going to the library to read hidden books, let’s talk about the big things… … .

“The paper was made 150 years ago.”

I found out the year of production of [Crack Warlock II].

Or was it just plain paper that was distributed as a standard standard at the time?

‘Huh, what the hell happened 150 years ago?’

The time the game started.

death of the first king.

And until this book was made.

A lot of questions keep overlapping with just 150 years ago, no more, no less.

‘It’s not a coincidence.’

The above events are somehow related.

That’s all I’ve found out so far… … .

Still, thanks to that, it gave me the motivation to move forward.

‘I think we need to focus on the history of 150 years ago.’

Who brought the players?

What was his purpose, and what was Auril Gabis doing? If you keep collecting clues, you may be able to reach the secret someday.

Anyway, this is the second one.

“Uh, uh… let’s do that… … ? no! It’s not that I don’t like it either, maybe it’s a little sudden… … .”

I opened an Arminus bank account.

And at the time of death, they designated each other as heirs of the property.

In the future, we plan to put some of the money we earned together in this account and use it like public money.

“In that sense, I’m going to put all of the 2 million stones I earned this time here.”

“Eh? all that?”

“It’s useless right now, isn’t it?”

“Ugh… Are you sure you’re not trying to use it for something strange without me knowing?”

“What are you looking at me for?”

I decided to put 2 million stones in the account and keep the remaining 900,000 stones in cash.

I don’t have a place to use it right now… … .

Gone are the days of barely earning a day and barely a month to live, so you should start saving.

Oh, and this happened.

“You… Bjorn, son of Yandel?!”

While walking down the street, I accidentally reunited with one of my classmate barbarians.

His name is Karak, the third son of Farnun.

We didn’t do anything, we just asked each other how we were and broke up.

Have you become a level 8 explorer and playing the role of a tank in a team of humans on the second floor?

“What are the other guys doing? Most died. It probably won’t be much without you, Ainar, and me. As you know, it is not a pleasant place.”

Anyway, my personality changed a lot because I teamed up with a human.

I think it used to be a lot more simple and ignorant.

“I wouldn’t have died so far if I had told you more about it rather than sticking to the old traditions… … .”

Seeing that they even expressed bitterness in the way of the race, I wondered if this was really a barbarian warrior.

To be honest, I was saddened to hear it all.

There must have been a lot of things going on before the guy who used to be a warrior down to the bone could change like that.

‘Not all barbarians are the same.’

Thanks to you, I learned something new.

Barbarians also grow spiritually.

Knowledge parts such as writing and numbers may still be weak, but surviving in a changed environment will give you wisdom.

‘… … Perhaps some of the seniors who have been around for a few years have changed their personalities almost like humans—’

“Bjorn, what are you thinking?”

“nothing.”

I ended my thoughts at Misha’s voice.

Seriously, I worked hard on cooking and brought it to you, but it must have been because I was thinking of something else.

“But, Bjorn… Do you think you are a little taller?”

“What?”

“Maybe it’s because of my mood, but let’s stop here and see!”

… … It’s annoying.

Still, after eating, I got up and checked my height. Misha nodded her head as she slashed her hand from the top of her head to my chest.

“It was a little too big! How much?”

“Isn’t that wrong?”

It was honestly hard to believe.

Aside from the fact that you can be taller here, you look less than 1cm tall, how do you know at a glance?

“Um, I have a good eye for things like that. So you can trust me.”

“… If so.”

Rather than arguing, he just nodded.

Well, he could have been taller.

I’ve been eating a lot of meat dishes lately.

‘… … If you’re really tall, should you eat more meat in the future?’

If it’s true, it’s worth it.

Congenitally taller than average.

This is the decisive reason why I hired a barbarian as a tank rather than a dwarf. Because the [Giantization] mechanism itself multiplies the basic height.

‘It was exactly 1.771 times or so.’

This has increased the number of reasons to eat meat.

“… Don’t just pick up meat, eat it evenly!”

“… … .”

“Write!”

After eating, I checked my backpack for the last time I had missed anything.

Well, I have to go into the labyrinth soon.

“Come on, the most, everyone will be waiting.”

As soon as we headed to the place we were supposed to meet, we saw colleagues in different clothes.

Not a shirt, but a dwarf wearing heavy armor.

A Dwalkie standing holding a long two-handed staff.

“Oh, Rotmiller! Why don’t you have a weapon?”

“Don’t worry. I put it in [Treasure Vault]. You get used to it, so it’s more convenient to take it out every now and then than to carry it around.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Novel from https://readwn.com

Mimic’s ability [treasure store].

I usually thought of it as a skill that replaces subspace, but maybe it’s a convenient essence in many ways for a Rotmiller who handles various equipment such as crossbows, shields, and swords.

“Then would you like to gather with me first? I want to start with [solidarity].”

Soon after, Dwalky muttered a chorus, and a green light spread out and seeped into each of them.

Is it supposed to be some kind of party formation?

You must have this magic, but even if several people enter the labyrinth, they can start from the same location.

‘In the past, Ainar had been waiting in front of the guild since dawn… … .’

I think that explorers are not just talking about wizards and wizards for nothing.

If there is a wizard in the team, there is no need to line up in the guild from the morning breeze, and… …

There are also significant advantages in terms of money.

For an average of 5 explorers with a rank of 6.5 to form a [solidarity], they would have had to pay 100,000 stones as a fee.

“Move slowly.”

As we all walk towards the dimensional square, there are more and more explorers on the street.

It is a sight that can only be seen on the last night of each month.

When they come back, everyone is acting like a beggar.

“stop! I must have lost my way.”

“I can! We must get to the labyrinth within the set time!”

Coincidentally, this time also encountered the barbarians.

The young warriors, who have just finished their coming-of-age ceremony and are just heading to the labyrinth, are full of anticipation and excitement.

“… Follow us.”

I apologized to the party and helped them.

There is no sense of racial mission… … .

It felt like it had to be.

“Really? Thank you. If you give me your name… What! Bjorn, son of Yandel?! You mean that little Balkan!!! I respect you!!”

It’s an overreaction of young warriors anyway.

He gave me some advice on the way to the Dimension Square.

Barbarian’s heart is sold at a high price, so the same explorer… Especially, to be wary of humans.

The idea is to find night friends of different races as much as possible.

Watch out for traps, follow the path of light, etc.

When I first entered the labyrinth, he generously shared knowledge that I wish I had known.

“If I do that, can I become a famous warrior like you?”

Well, I don’t know either.

However… … .

“Yes.”

“Oh oh! is it! i get it! I will definitely do what you say!”

It would be better for them to do this.

I have to tell you for sure, but they are the ones who understand.

The dwarf spoke quietly as he watched the young warriors heading to the portal with my advice in mind.

“you… Are you very kind to your people?”

“I just did what I could. Isn’t it harsh to learn only by experience?”

“Well, it is. Ha ha ha!”

After such chatter, we also headed to the center where the portal was opened.

aah

The field of vision is far away, and a brilliant light of five colors covers it.

Unexpectedly, the past unfolds like a panorama.

‘Is it already the fourth time… … .’

At the first entry, he reached the second floor with countless chews.

Second?

I entered the rift with the determination to become stronger. But that was a variant rift.

After that, it was even worse.

A team was formed, but it got lost along the way.

At the end, the hierarchical monarch started running rampant, so he really had to come back after stepping on the threshold of the underworld.

so that… … .

flash-!

I wish nothing happened.

Could it be a special day?

I throw these thoughts away before I even hear them.

‘After, what kind of chew will you come out this time?’

Surely something will happen this time too.

So let’s eat our hearts out.

“You have entered the first-floor crystal cave.”
