Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 174: Choice (2)

Jang You Yuseo 長幼有序.

One of the three powers and five rules of Confucianism, which means that there is an order between adults and children.

But in Rome, there is a saying to follow the Roman law.

‘This is a world where age has no meaning.’

Lapdonia is a city where the order is determined according to the strength of each individual.

Simply put, strong and weak will.

Only the strong and the weak divide the order.

And according to that law, the reason I have to endure now is zero.

“…The new chick doesn’t even know the subject and is messing around.”

“Would you like to be beaten by a sun chick?”

When I quietly got up, the atmosphere instantly became bloody.

“What?”

Blonde tanning, embarrassed that this is the first time it has come out like this.

Mr. Bear quietly put his hand on my arm.

“Yandel.”

An expression of intent to stop at this point.

The blond tanning, who had been scared by this, regained a triumphant smile.

“Why don’t you listen to your colleague? I’ll take it as an apology on my knees now.”

What is this kid again?

I just applied for a fight.

“Okay, let’s have a duel.”

The only means of personal dispute permitted by the city.

If an agreement is reached and a duel is fought in the presence of a notary public, it is not classified as violence.

If you kill it, it will be a headache again.

That’s the part where you can control your strength moderately.

“…A duel, do you know what that means?”

“What do you mean? I just want to break your head.”

“Crazy guy…….”

Perhaps this was the first time he had ever been such a savage explorer, the blonde tanned expression was completely lost.

Well, you probably didn’t know that you would get a match request at the meeting you came to catch Gaona.

“What do you think? Are you afraid of being beaten by a new chick?”

“……There is no need to deal with a madman.”

The blonde tan snorted and stood up.

Yes, that’s how you decided to write that tactic.

The mental victory of not going to hang out with a madman.

The law of destruction is simple.

“I was scared.”

In one word, blood vessels formed on the blonde’s forehead.

But wouldn’t you want to mix words with me?

I took my anger out on Derbes, who was next to me.

“Pepe, you should also select people and receive them. If you hang out with a savage like this, your level won’t fall as well.”

Derbes made no reply.

No, to be precise, it’s true that I didn’t even have time to answer.

A tanned blonde who had just said what she had to say and then turned her back and walked toward the doorway.

trudge trudge.

His back was straight and his gait was dignified.

But I noticed that the tanning blonde felt humiliated and humiliated in this situation.

“Do you see Abman? He’s blushing.”

“I guess you know that’s embarrassing.”

At first, Mr. Bear, who stopped me, didn’t hesitate to beat him with me.

I couldn’t avoid it, so I wanted to enjoy it.

As a colleague of mine, it is highly desirable.

Was it difficult to endure this insult?

Turbuck.

Soon, the blonde’s feet stopped in front of the doorway.

“I stopped. Do you accept a duel?”

“There’s no way that could be. Looking at it, he’s a kid who can’t do anything without a clan name.”

A tanned blonde who flicks and turns her head to look at me.

When I twisted it as if I had something to say, he gritted his teeth and recited.

“You’re blabbering without knowing that you’re high in the sky just because you’ve been lucky enough to have a reputation as a petite barbarian.”

“So what?”

“If it’s like that, you won’t be able to go above the 5th floor.”

I laughed heartily without realizing it.

Does he know that he can be anything?

“You sound funny.”

I said walking slowly.

“I don’t know how old you are, but you’re an idiot who’s afraid of me, who’s less than a year old. You can’t even hunt on the 5th floor without a clan, and you’ll continue to be on the 5th floor for the rest of your life, picking up soybean scraps like a salary.”

and.

“Arrived on the 5th floor after 8 months. Unlike anyone else, I have a different name, and I formed my own team to go higher. Even within the barbarians, my potential has already been recognized and I am being talked about as a successor.”

Soon after, standing in front of him, I tapped him on the shoulder.

“Now then, who will be upstairs in a few years time?”

Blond Tan said nothing.

Like a human male with an average height of 170, he just looked up at me.

I personally bent down and lowered my face.

And he said it into his ear.

“Then get out of here. Whether you join the clan or not, that’s up to you.”

As soon as I opened the door, the tanned blonde went out in a daze.

Quaang.

closed immediately.

When I turn my back, everyone is looking at me.

I went back to my seat and sat down.

“Okay, I’ve solved the problem, so now let’s finish drinking.”

Strangely, no one answered.

“…….”

It’s embarrassing to people.

Is this the first time you’ve seen a barbarian that solves problems through dialogue?

***

The silence was also brief.

The surprise at the sudden incident subsided and we chatted while clinking glasses.

The main topic, of course, is Jack Johnsonville.

It was about a shy and showy guy.

“Hahaha, did you see the look on his face when I asked for a duel? You’ll probably never forget it.”

Surprisingly, no one said anything to me.

Well, even when I first saw it, I hated it, but the kids must have been disgusting.

“But why did you keep putting it in?”

“Even though it’s condescending, it’s because you always gave me information that you couldn’t know unless you were a member of the clan.”

Well, I guess it was quite useful in the part where it was cheap.

If so, I’m kinda sorry.

“Don’t worry about it too much. They didn’t take it well these days anyway, so they came less often. They probably moved to another place soon after.”

“If so.”

“Oh and one more thing. I don’t think you have to worry about him at all. He’s the lowest in the clan, so he wouldn’t even dream of retaliation against you.”

“Haha Pepe. What’s the problem with being the lowest?

“Well, that could be the case. Well, even if I talk like that, I’ll only be treated like an idiot in the clan.”

Absolutely neat in itself.

The correct answer was not to be patient.

‘Even if the clan retaliates in the first place, what will they do?’

Surprising us in the labyrinth?

If a large clan is caught doing something like that, they will be beaten that same day. He would never do anything that would cross the line for the sake of one low end.

‘Anyway, experience control is everything.’

Gapjil that prevents the supply and demand of experience in the area.

I don’t know if it’s just one area, but the 5th floor clans have a close relationship with each other.

Therefore, if you are listed on the blacklist, there will be enormous restrictions on leveling.

Oh, of course I don’t.

In the first place, I had no intention of paying money and getting experience points.

Hunting in the mirror is enough, so why pay?

“Come on, let’s drink!”

As the drinking party continued, the talk about tanning blondes gradually disappeared.

The main topic that replaced him was the subjugation of Noark.

“Your team, Bjorn, won’t participate?”

“Yeah, I don’t feel good for some reason. Derbes, what are you going to do?”

“We’ve already decided to take a step. Isn’t the labyrinth dangerous anyway?”

“Right.”

“Probably most of the people here. Isn’t the reward quite attractive? In terms of value, it’s money that can be obtained after exploring for almost a year.”

“I wish you a safe return.”

“Haha thank you.”

I didn’t bother to say anything about that choice.

There is not a single person here with less experience as an explorer than me.

There is no way that I, a first-timer, would change my choice just because I was giving advice, and it was against my etiquette.

No matter how barbarian you are, you have to protect what you protect.

“Then it’s late now. Let’s disperse soon. Abman, if you don’t go quickly, you won’t be scolded by your wife.”

“…I’m fine with going with Yandel.”

“Huh? Your wife seems to have a very good opinion of this fellow?”

The meeting ended after two o’clock in the morning.

In fact, before that, one or two people gave reasons and left, but I kept my seat until the end.

“Will you come again next time?”

“If you call me.”

“Okay, then I’ll tell the story through Abman.”

I couldn’t get any useful information right away.

I could get a glimpse of the mindset and common sense of ordinary explorers, but that’s all.

However, I plan to participate here again next time.

Assuming they return alive.

I’m curious how the subjugation went.

“Thanks to Keueu, it’s been a while since I drank well!”

As soon as I came out to the street, the chilly night air touched my skin.

The first time I came here was around early spring.

Autumn is coming to an end soon.

“Let’s go.”

“Ha ha ha! Yes, let’s go!”

Mr. Bear is in a much better state than usual, probably because he almost drank alcohol.

In fact, he had drunk so much alcohol that it was strange that he was standing still, but his mind seemed very sane.

I can’t go home for anything.

‘For some reason, I feel like I’ve gotten closer to this man.’

Since the carriage was also cut off, I walked for a long time to District 7 and took Mr. Bear home.

“Thank you for taking me there. Do you want to take a break? I have something perfect for a hangover.”

Mrs. Gom is infinitely kind to me, perhaps because she made a lot of money through exploration this time. After being treated with hot honey water, I headed home.

‘It’s a house……’

Now that’s how it’s stuck in my mouth.

rattle.

When I opened the locked door, the back door opened at the same time.

No. 207.

This is Misha’s room.

“Um, are you here now?”

“Are you awake?”

“Why are you so late? What the hell does alcohol smell like?”

I stood in the hallway for a while and told him about my participation in the meeting with Mr. Bear.

“Yeah, there…… you had a lot of trouble. You look like a real team leader now.”

A world where such exchanges are also the work of explorers.

Mischa patted me on the shoulder, saying that I had a hard time.

“But what about the paper bag in that hand?”

“There is a night market on the way home, so I bought some apple skewers.”

“huh? You don’t like things like this, don’t you?”

” Don’t

you two like it?” Mischa

smiles at my words

.

I have to give it to Einar.

Knocked down.

I put the envelope down on the table and washed myself roughly.

The moderately drunkenness and the cool night air coming in through the window.

‘It’s not bad.’

It was one day when I had such a thought.

***

After the meeting,

a little busy daily life continued.

If you have money, you have to upgrade,

right

?

“I’ll lend it to you.”

“…That’s right!!”

Einar, who acted as if he had received a small sum of money when he first borrowed money, became aware of the weight of the debt as the amount increased

. Is that it!!”

Well, maybe for a year?

In fact, even after that, I was thinking of deciding where to use the large amount of money.

Anyway, it took three days to get the 3rd level imprint

. Didn’t it hurt?”

“It hurt!”

“But?”

“Isn’t it natural to be sick in order to be strong?”

Uh yeah… that’s it. As expected,

barbarians have a different mentality than normal people.

By the way, Einar received The imprint is ‘Slayer.’

It is a typical warrior imprint that corrects various combat stats.

I chose [Eat] for the 3rd level imprint skill.

A passive skill with good performance that recovers a certain amount of soul power when killing a monster.

‘First of all, Let’s take only 3 levels and raise it to 6 levels at once when I have money.’

Oh, there was also Misha’s growth. As

Einar grew stronger at a terrifying speed, did she feel a little impatient? Misha spent most of her money earning this time on ‘blood of the beast’. And the result. ”

Bjorn

!! Finally, I succeeded!”

Finally, I achieved the 1st awakening of the number of souls.

The newly acquired authority is [Glacier’s Blessing].

The Chew Authority reduces the resource consumption by half when using cold skills or items.

‘This authority is better than that sword . I didn’t know this would come out first…….’

Is it the price of the past hardships?

After going up to the 5th floor, things go smoothly. “But you’re going

to keep using that equipment?”

No.”

But that doesn’t mean I didn’t spend money either.

I sold the expandable backpack I had been using and spent almost all of the money I had to buy a subspace ring.

People are so cunning that even the expandable backpack feels uncomfortable.

‘It’s better to buy something in advance to change later anyway.’

A personal backpack is essential in the Labyrinth.

You never know when you will be separated from the team.

Above all, you can carry fresh products in the subspace.

‘It’s really a world where money is no longer needed.’

“Fortunately, I came on time today.”

”

Now

that I am a guide.

”

I meet with Rotmiller every day and receive training as a guide.

Of course, it’s not free.

It’s almost tantamount to a thief to teach me these skills, just like medieval blacksmiths did. I

pay a hefty tuition every day.

“I’ll go to the 5th floor myself . I can’t tell you because I can’t But I’ve studied a lot about it, so I can give you some advice. Oh, it will be very helpful if you learn how to make a map.”

Basic knowledge required as a searcher.

And some skills and know-how that only practitioners can do.

In addition, special training to develop a sense of direction,

etc. “……Since I ‘m teaching

you like this, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to set up a training center.” ”

That’s a good idea. If it’s you, it’s obvious that everyone will gather to learn.”

“Haha, it’s time to learn…”

Afterwards, after class with Rotmiller, we returned to the dorm and had dinner together.

Oh, Erwen was with us today too. “How do you know you ‘ll

be here every time and come to visit me? He might have gone out.”

“Umm… somehow I could tell. Should it be called the touch of a fairy?”

“What is Hung Chok? He said he’d just come back until we met.”

“Misha is right! You braggart!!”

“…Stop both of them.”

Both of them became brusque when Erwen came.

It wasn’t something he couldn’t understand.

Barbarians originally hate fairies, and Misha just hates fairies. ‘Maybe

I

should reconsider including Erwen as a colleague.

‘

While eating, I also heard Erwen’s current situation.

This time, it was decided that I would join a clan that my sister knew as a mercenary for a few months? From

next time, I would be hunting on the 5th floor.

What is the life of a gold spoon?

“I’ll go then! See you next week!” After the meal

,
I went up to my room

to wash and rest
