Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 167 The Great Magic Mirror (2)

The moment the essence of red light floated up.

The eyes of the group of explorers on the other side, who were full of thoughts of going back and resting, sharpened their eyes.

It was like a mirror.

Our faces won’t be much different now.

“…….”

Heavy silence flows for a while.

Like each other’s quick-judged explorers, the time wasn’t long.

The first to speak was the opposing hammer warrior.

“The essence came out of the monster we caught?”

“Hey, Mr. Nelbo…….”

“Wizard, be still. I’ll take care of this.”

Yes, this kid is the leader.

It seemed that he had already decided what position he would take in this situation.

to claim ownership of the essence.

food.

I honestly didn’t even expect it.

Aren’t they the idiots who didn’t have the manners of waiting just a few minutes to join the battle?

I muttered briefly.

“Prepare for battle.”

It is closer to what the opponent says than to the team members.

It is an expression of will to see blood if you act unreasonably.

“That Mr. Yandel…”

Raven voiced concern.

A situation similar to the wizard over there trying to say something to the hammer warrior, saying, ‘Hey, Mr. Nelbo…’.

Certainly, wizards seem to have a reluctance to do this.

Is it because everyone must have grown up affluent?

“Don’t panic. Five more humanoid monsters just came out.”

I ended up sorting out the situation in a nutshell.

Then, did the other side recognize that I was the leader?

The hammer warrior fixed his gaze on me and uttered a meaningful comment.

“You’re that guy…?”

“Do you know me?”

The hammer warrior raised the cap of his helmet in response.

But the problem is that I still don’t know.

Have I ever met him?

There’s no way I can’t remember those unbearably thick eyebrows.

“……?”

As I looked at him with an incomprehensible look, the hammer warrior took off his helmet completely as if he was frustrated.

Flash-!

A pure white scalp glistening with light sphere magic floating in the air.

Then I remembered.

“……Tight!”

This is the guy I met the other day when I went to negotiate with the regional chief. They tried to catch me and farm for public value.

I never thought I’d camouflage myself with a helmet.

“Pu-huh!”

For some reason, the other team members burst into laughter in unison.

Shaved hair burning red, probably because of shame.

“……Do you want to die, savage?”

Pakbakgi put on his helmet again and said.

“You’d better watch your words from now on. There’s no local chief to protect you.”

what else does he say

If you knew my relationship with the regional chief, you would never say such a thing.

It doesn’t matter.

“You’d better go off at this point. If you don’t want to lose even that head.”

“Okay, I’ll try this, huh?”

When I take a step, I take a step without losing a beat.

A distance narrowed by an integer in between.

The air sinks heavily and there is a chill that even the heat of the canyon cannot cool.

profit.

It’s tight in front. The archer pulled the protest.

clap.

Behind him, he could hear Mr. Bear loading his crossbow.

It was so quiet that you could hear each other’s breathing.

“…….”

It was like a thread pulled taut.

The moment the thread suddenly snaps, the wind and blood will start to blow.

I know this too.

But…

“If you step back now, I’ll give you at least a magic stone.”

“Because we are barbarians, our calculations are dark. We caught the monster. Of course, the magic stones and essence are all ours.”

no one backs down

A team of top 30% explorers who reached the 5th floor.

Even if you get the essence, even knowing that if one of your teammates dies in the process, that’s more of a loss.

Kwak.

Grab a weapon and rather close the distance.

A cold sweat ran down his spine.

‘The bald bastard only has a lot of greed.’

By convention, ownership is right with us.

He probably intended to follow that convention at first.

He must have tried to coolly hand over one magic stone.

Intervening in the battle must have been the result of just wanting to go to rest quickly in the first place.

The problem is that the integer came out from there.

‘……Does it really have no choice but to fight?’

Gradually, I let go of my weak mind and assumed the worst.

The current composition is similar to a kind of game of chicken.

Whoever withdraws first loses.

If everyone wants to be a winner, there is only catastrophe.

“It’s the last warning.”

I don’t like talking too much, but this time I tried to talk one more time.

“Are you going to get tired of it because you’re so scared?”

Rejected reply.

With this, I have made up my mind.

If you really want to, you have to see the end with your own two eyes.

Without even that level of determination, you cannot survive in this heartless world of explorers.

‘Now that this has happened, I’ll have to eat the essence first.’

Originally, ifrit’s essence was planned to be sold in test tubes. Because neither I nor Misha nor Einar are suitable essences.

but.

Turbuck.

If you eat pure water, it will help you unconditionally.

After all, I’d rather eat it than give it to that bastard.

The cost of erasing the essence is still low, so just throw it away after using it until you pull out the mulberry.

So after eating the essence…

‘Let’s fight by pushing and dropping. I won’t be able to get the equipment, but right now, winning comes first.’

Okay, I’m almost finished organizing my thoughts.

So now it’s time to put it into action.

It was a car that was slowly taking off and measuring the angle.

“Stop it!”

“Yes, Mr. Yandel. Put down your weapon for now.”

Suddenly, wizards from both sides stepped forward and the situation entered a new phase.

“Wizard? You should have told me to stay.”

“Mr. Nelbo, stop talking like that. It doesn’t seem like much.”

“…….”

“Answer.”

“…….”

“If you keep doing this, you won’t enter the labyrinth together from next time?”

“…… I will stop.”

Kakppakki, who immediately turns his tail on a word from a wizard who looks like a childish boy. Somehow, the most dignified wizard stayed still.

I was just giving it to the concept.

I didn’t hide my disgust.

‘I’m going to have a good time……’

Now I don’t even want to mix the words.

In any case, the tension faded after Kakbakgi lowered his weapon and backed away.

“That pattern on the robe. It’s from the Artemion School, right?”

“Yes. Are you from the Warton School?”

“Whoops, that’s right.”

If it’s the Warton School, it’s a place I know.

It’s a fairly large school, but…

it was more clearly remembered because of its singularity of not being able to deal with water-attribute magic.

“This is Efrain Bello.”

“Arua Raven.”

First of all, the wizards made a statement.

And unlike the explorers who took out their weapons first, the two had a brief introductory time.

“How’s Master Artemion? I met you at an academic conference a year ago…” ”

Well, Master, are you the same as usual? Master Warton? Are you still researching that?”

“Haha, of course. It’s our secret wish.”

Similar to ‘We are Nami!’ A conversation that feels like.

It’s like seeing high society.

We know each other after crossing a bridge or two anyway, so we shouldn’t complicate things.

“So what are you going to do now?”

Soon, Raven got to the point.

“You know that asking for the essence of the monster we were hunting is a far-fetched claim, right?”

“Hmm, I don’t think it’s entirely unreasonable. Convention is convention after all. It’s clear that we’re involved. The committee is likely to admit it’s a personal dispute between explorers.”

Unlike us who tried to fight like beasts, wizards run through the solution of problems through dialogue.

“It is said that customs are just conventions, but it’s hard to look favorably on those who break them. But to go all the way to the committee with just one integer, I think it would be reasonable for you to give up, right?”

“That’s…”

The opposing mage blurted out.

It meant that our mage had won the argument.

“Yes, that’s right. So I’m just going to give up. Actually, I didn’t like this from the beginning.”

this could be solved like this

‘Am I the one who wants to be a barbarian?’

I lowered the mace I was holding.

It wasn’t today, but the day to write it down was sure to come.

Because the labyrinth is such a place.

***

“Mr Be Bello?”

“Are you going to keep messing around?”

“There is a method that suits this side of the industry…”

Pakppagi looked at him as if asking him to reconsider his decision, but the wizard’s authority was firm.

“Then I misunderstood Mr. Nelvo. This isn’t about defending our rights, it’s just greed, isn’t it?”

“…….”

“As a leader, I think I’ve given you enough respect. But what’s the difference between looters and looters?”

A prick who couldn’t say anything at the wizard’s reasonable words and moaned.

It wasn’t very cool inside.

I wondered what it would taste like when I smashed that shiny hair.

“What are you going to do with Mr. Yandel’s essence?”

While Pokppak was being scolded by the wizard, we discussed disposing of the essence.

“Kuhm!”

Einar looked at me with eyes saying ‘Look at me’, but the decision was the same as before.

“Put it in test tubes and sell it in the city.”

“Nice. Neat.”

Einar will feed you better essence later.

‘In the first place, I don’t even have the money to feed the essence right now.’

Typically, when a team member takes an integer, they pay about half of the selling price. Well, it’s up to me and Misha to pay for it with debt, but……

It’s unclear whether Mr. Bear or Raven will do that.

“Cheer up, Einar. If you sell that one, you’ll get tens of thousands of cotton candy. Huh?”

“Tens of thousands!!?”

Einar stumbled at the overwhelming unit and regained his strength.

I thought this was pretty good too.

‘……If so, you’ll have to pay back the money I lent you.’

Anyway, after discussing the disposal of the essence, Raven filled the test tube with the essence of Ifrit and we made our way to the side.

But if you just pass by here, it will be over.

“What’s your name?”

Pokppik stops in front of me and asks.

what? Are you saying to be careful on the road at night?

As I looked down, he continued talking as if not to misunderstand.

“No that… If this is meant to be, then it is meant to be

, but it is okay to know the name.” The relationship is a piece of shit.

But he gave me the name.

“This is Yandel’s son Bjorn.”

“Yandel’s son Bjorn?”

He also revealed his name.

“Meltasson Nelbo.”

Yes, he was not Hans Nelbo.

Thanks to that, I feel a little relieved.

” Then,

go

now. ” He smiled

and

moved on.

Starting with him, his colleagues passed by us one by

one

.

It’s simple. It’s

because I’ve been fucking staring at it.

[Oh, I’m tired, but we’ll just get it?]

If it wasn’t for this bastard, we wouldn’t have been doing this shit from the start. In

some ways, this bastard is more nasty than a jerk—

“Hans! what one Why don’t you come?”

Soon after, the archer averted my gaze and left with quick steps.

I stood still like a rock.

“…….”

……Hans was there.

***

The 21st day It was bright.

It means that it has already been four days since we entered the 5th floor.

In the meantime, we have been constantly riding down the road and hunting monsters.

In the meantime, Einar has also reached level 4.

‘……Then he is a labyrinth Did you come in three times and get level 4?’

In some ways, he grew up faster than I did.

I wish someone would give me a ride on the bus.

Anyway, I fought monsters and got into embarrassing situations a few times, but the exploration itself went smoothly. I

wondered if something was happening because of Hans.

‘Maybe It might have ended with the integer coming out…’

Observation mixed with hope.

If you look at each item, it’s plausible.

Although luckily, I passed it well, but if I didn’t care, I almost made a 5:5 cassock bread.

So to put it simply, Hans There’s a good chance it’ll end with the essence being dropped as an effect……

No, what the hell am I thinking?

‘Damn them.’

Originally, I don’t believe in jinxes.

Until I met Hans, I really did.

“Mr. Yandel, can you stop doing that now?”

The car stopped for a while and was updating the map.

Raven cautiously threw a word at me.

“You want to stop?”

“……I know you’re working hard, but you won’t be able to go back after seeing that anyway?”

A mage-like line that values results rather than effort.

“…….”

I couldn’t refute anything.

Actually , Seeing this, I don’t have the confidence to go back to where I was.

The road to the Daimakyo was that complicated. It

‘s not just that there are several roads, but there are places where the road is cut off and you have to ride a rope to get over it, so I said it all.

But…

“Continue You will always see it. I’ll be better next time.”

Team Apple Narak’s guide is me.

I wanted to live as a barbarian warrior, but the cold reality led me to that path. So

I have to practice here too. ”

Oh

, then I have nothing to say… but isn’t it difficult?”

“Well, it’s annoying. There are some interesting parts.”

There are interesting parts.

I didn’t mean it roughly, but I

meant it .

First of all, this can be seen as a specification, so I feel like I’m growing up

. If this happens again, this ability that I will be polishing from now on will help me.

‘Above all, if you become a guide, it will become natural for you to lead the team to the place you want.’

“So, are you going to keep going down today?”

“Isn’t there anything else you can do?”

Orc Hive, Witch’s Forest, Steel Rock Hill, etc. Just

as the 3rd floor consists of many fields, there are fields with names on the 5th floor

. Between the maze-like narrow streets, a wide disc-shaped terrain appears like a starting point.

There are also places to enter through caves in the cliffs.

So far, we have found three such fields.

Well, all three have owners . ‘

It seems that there are far more clans controlling the hunting grounds than there are in the game.’

As someone who has just entered the 5th floor, this is a very annoying part. It’s not because I can’t catch monsters, but because of people

.

If you want to catch monsters that only appear in the field, you have to pay a price to the clan that preoccupied the place.For

reference, even if you pay the price, it is all a one-time hunting for experience points

. Kicking the ladder is several times worse than kicking the ladder.

But…

No matter how hard I try to kick it.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to climb up here?

For 10 years, I’ve been digging only one game and mastering all kinds of tricks and hidden elements. Especially on the 5th floor. There have been times where progress has been blocked for over a year, so there’s not

much I don’t know about every nook and cranny.

There are plenty of ways to become stronger.
