Episode 114 Reunion (2)
“Bjorn! I remembered! That’s who he is!”
“There’s no need to explain. I remembered it too.”
I felt a strange feeling and looked back at my memory.
Time went back three months, and it was the time when he was trapped in the [Evil Rift] of the Hierarchal Lord Riakis.
[Be grateful for not killing me right away. Garbage.]
When the Dzarwi Clan rejected the riotous explorers, the explorers fell into a collective panic.
It was this man who appeared then.
[I am aware of this phenomenon.]
He presented a new path to the bewildered explorers.
Of course, it was hard to believe naively…….
[I teamed up with this person for over a year. This is a mysterious person. You really don’t know anything. I have no doubt that this person’s words will save us.]
The explorers, who had no other choice, followed the path, trusting only the guarantee of a fairy who was said to be his colleague.
And…….
‘Believe me, don’t doubt it, damn it.’
everything is gone
Later, when I was curious and looked it up, I only heard that kind of news, so I only thought that was the case.
Until I met him today.
‘It looks like they’re the only ones who survived after taking over a hundred people by limb.’
When I thought about it, it couldn’t have been an interesting guy.
It wouldn’t be because he was simply lucky enough to come back alive.
It’s fair to say that I was good at it. I thought
he was
just an idiot at the time…
“Now! Escape!”
I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the man who predicted the Death Knight’s pattern and gave instructions.
He has a total of four summons.
The synergy between the summons is good, but the level of the essence itself is not high.
One fact to be noted here.
‘It must be about 7th grade on average.’
He’s a low-level explorer with nothing.
If it was a gold spoon, even the equipment would have been fine.
That raises even more doubts.
The pattern of Liakis and the conditions for the Death Knight to appear.
An explorer with a short career who wasn’t born into a good family knows this information?
‘……It would be reasonable to see him as a player.’
The final decision was made through rational reasoning.
That unknown summoner is a player.
I don’t know why such a guy made the mistake of choosing a job like a summoner as a human being.
‘It’s a bit confusing because of this.’
I wonder if it was a Beast Dragon Dwarf.
Humans have no summoning system or racial synergy.
Of course, this is only a small difference in the beginning, but it leads to a huge gap as you go towards the second half.
In other words, the efficiency is very low.
‘Maybe that wasn’t important to him…’
It was a story with enough potential.
The degree of perfection of the character. Anyway, it’s normal people’s psychology to just want to choose a job to eat raw.
After all, who wants to fight head-to-head?
It’s not something I would say, having chosen a shield as soon as I knew I started as a barbarian.
「You have defeated the Death Knight. EXP +4」
I opened my eyes in the feeling of satisfaction that dwells in my body.
At the end of the fireball the magician put into the inner core, the Death Knight turned into a cluster of lights and was scattered.
Note that integers did not appear.
“It’s a pity. I bought a test tube at a high price just in case.”
“Pa Parteian-sama, be careful with your words…”
“Oh, that’s right.”
The wizard shut his mouth and looked this way.
‘Then it must be our turn now.’
While watching them with an expressionless face, I put on the mask of a naive barbarian again.
“Oh that’s great! What kind of magic was that at the end?”
“……We’re not supposed to be having a conversation like that, are we?”
When the wizard tried to approach the wizard in a friendly way, the fairy archer coldly cut off his words and stopped him.
“What the hell was that about? If you can’t explain it properly, I’ll consider you an enemy.”
Jeop I think I was very soft in front of people back then…….
Was it all acting?
Ah, fairies and barbarians don’t get along very well.
“As I said earlier, I was just trying to help!”
“Strange. None of us said anything like that.”
“Death Knight is strong! That’s why I thought you guys were dangerous!”
The fairy archer glared at me suspiciously.
How bad is the image of a barbarian among fairies?
“Is that really the only reason?”
“Then what else could there be?”
“First of all, there must be an essence. I don’t know about you, but it must have been a greedy essence for the beastman next to you.”
Misha was startled by the fairy’s sharp murmur and waved her hand.
“Oh misunderstood! I use a sword, but I can’t even eat it because the number of seats is already full!”
“Is that true…?”
“It’s good to check!”
What are you checking? Checking.
what are you going to do here
It was a really ridiculous answer, but the fairy just nodded.
“Then I will believe you.”
Apparently, this fairy archer’s snarky behavior is limited to barbarians.
“But there’s a corner where it’s not clear that you’ve intervened to help.”
“Ghosts…”
“You! What did you say?”
I asked back with annoyance at the sharp voice.
“You’re starting to doubt it because it’s usually so insidious?”
I wasn’t really angry or anything.
I also know that it was wrong to intrude on my own during battle.
But so what?
“Are you ignoring me for being a barbarian?”
Even in situations where my fault is obvious, I can go hard with a red flag.
That must be the face of a true barbarian.
“If you insult me any more, I won’t stand it! You bastard!”
The fairy was taken aback when she saw me raising her shield as if she were ready to fight in a 4:2 situation.
“No, that’s not it! There’s something unclear, so you’re asking me to clarify!”
“What’s not clear?”
“I know that essence is not the goal. But it’s hard to say that they didn’t have any intention of getting us to make up for their exploits for free.”
oh he’s really sharp
In fact, it was as if the truth had been reached, but there was nothing wrong with this either.
“Why do I do such a troublesome thing? I already caught him once?”
“……yes?”
At my words, the fairy put on a dazed expression.
Well, I can’t understand it.
Before you go to the 6th floor, it’s because it’s a difficult monster to encounter.
I briefly elaborated on the explanation.
“I’ve been to Bloody Fort before. Does this explain it?”
Because it was a mutant rift, a vampire popped out instead of a death knight, but something to know.
It’s not like I’m trying to find out the truth here.
It’s also half true.
“Ha but! How do we believe that?”
“If you think about it like that, don’t you believe anything you say?
“Because you put up with it, I know you won’t be able to do it…!”
Soon after, the man burst out in amazement at the appearance of the fairy who burst into anger.
“Meirin-nim. Stop that! What he said is probably true!”
“Yes? What was that…”
“Now I remember! That barbarian… He’s the four people I saw there! Yandel’s son, Bjorn. The explorer nicknamed the Little Vulcan!”
It must have been a short meeting, but the summoner seemed to remember my face.
Soon, the wizard and warrior exclaimed at the same time.
“Somehow, while talking, he easily received the Death Knight’s sword.”
“Oh, that’s amazing. Miss Mei Lin must have misunderstood us. There’s no way a famous person like that would do such a thing just to get public value.”
The fairy archer pressed her lips, perhaps sensing that the situation was taking a strange turn.
“I understand Miss Meilin’s feelings. Sometimes it’s the hardest thing to admit. But sometimes you have to be stubborn and accept it.”
“Huh, I get it…….”
When all of my colleagues judged that I had no ill intentions, the Fairy Archer didn’t force it any further.
‘Is this why I have to write a masterpiece?’
Realizing once again the importance of fame, I stared at the summoner approaching me.
“Nice to meet you. Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
His stuttering habit makes him look funny, but he’s no ordinary guy either.
Isn’t there a history of driving hundreds of people to death to save themselves?
“It’s this fate that we met like this, so why don’t you say your full name?”
The boy asked me cautiously.
It’s not like you’re curious about my name, so it’s probably correct to see this as just wanting to get acquainted with me.
“good night.”
I nodded without hesitation.
There was no reason to refuse.
In the first place, I was curious about this guy’s name, so he was still here.
“You see, I’m Yandel’s son, Bjorn. What’s your name?”
I’m sure it was a player, so I thought I’d try to find out later.
It’s not a big reason, I was just curious.
Looking at his performance, I thought that it could be at least a reference sample of how normal players behave.
But…
“I am Hans Krissen.”
Fuck I didn’t expect this either.
A player possessing Hans’ body?
What kind of opening properties are there?
“If you don’t mind, let’s be friendly from now on—”
I stepped back as I saw the guy smiling kindly and asking for a handshake.
“Stop moving. I’m busy with work, so I’m going to go!”
“…yes? What’s that—”
“Misha! What are you doing! You’re not coming soon!”
“Ugh! Okay… Wait! Let’s go together…!”
I’ll bring some damn salt.
My heart started beating fast as to what was going to happen next.
***
As soon as he knew the identity of Hans G, he left the place as if he were running away.
How long has it been since then?
“What is this! Running is fine, but please explain the reason—”
“…he was Hans too.”
“Huh? What does that mean—”
“I’ve never been with Hans and things haven’t worked out.”
It was said with sincere concern, but Misha put on a relieved expression on the contrary.
“Ugh, what else am I saying. I thought it was a big deal!”
No, is this really a big deal?
Are you Hans?
Is that also from a player I met in the labyrinth?
“Looking at you, you have a very eccentric side. I don’t think you believe in any of these superstitions.”
Looking at Misha, who doesn’t take it seriously, I felt a sense of sadness for some reason.
“Puhuh! You Bjorn… He seems a bit cute today,
right?” What did he say? He’s really cool.
I told him each and every incident related to Hans.
Starting with Hans A, who stopped the start, Hans C, who was Elisa’s subordinate, and the leader of the band of marauders I met in the Witch’s Forest. Hans D.
“Come to think of it, you said you hated the name Hans back then…?”
“Yes. But at that time, I just thought it was ominous.”
Soon after Dwalki told him about Hans B, who was nearby right before he was dragged away by Mozlan, Mischa also changed her complexion.
“What is it! What the hell is a guy named Hans!!”
Like an explorer with a habit of being vulnerable to superstition, Misha seems to be feeling a bit uneasy at this point.
“Then what? We’ve already met… There’s no way something big will happen again?!”
Well, I don’t know. I
just thought I’d be as careful as possible in the future.
“Let’s go to the 3rd floor as soon as possible.” ”
…Not on the 1st floor? “
Misha, who has become more serious than I am, expressed her doubts, but at least this was the most reasonable decision. First of all, I am
not sure whether this is a superstition or not……
Even if it really exists, nothing will change
. If it’s true, there’s no point in running away. Damn things can happen in the city as much as you want. The
way to reduce the damage is to
just do what you have to do.” It makes me feel bad for nothing…”
Well, that’s right.
It seems that meeting Hans, who was a player, made it difficult for him to think rationally. Or,
at some point, he came to rely on him.
If you divide it between the two of you, you will definitely cut it in half, right?
“Is that what you’re talking about! You crazy barbarian!!!”
“…just kidding.”
“Don’t lie! Your eyes were sincere!”
When I told the truth, Misha
became very enraged
. Anyway, you did a good job telling me without hiding it. If something like this happens in the future, don’t suffer alone and tell me. First of all, am I not older than you?” “Oh
, I did.”
Misha is five years older than me.
Of course, I’m talking about Bjorn’s standard.
“What is that reaction?
”
I don’t think that was the case?”
Anyway, the small talk ended at this point and we resumed our movement. And how long had it passed?
I began to feel the fatigue building up in my body.
It means it was time to camp.
‘It’s been almost a day since then, so I’ll be arriving on the third floor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.’
I was also quite tired, but I settled down and put Misha to bed first. Then I sat still and kept my watch while continuing my thoughts. How long has it been since
then?
[00:37]
When I checked the time, it was already past 12.
Today is the 7th day So, it means that the first floor crystal cave has already been closed and spit out explorers to the city.
Well, whether you leave early or late, when you return to the city, they will all be in the same time zone…
‘That guy must have returned well, right? ‘
I suddenly remembered Charon, who took me to the first floor.
[I think it would be okay to pretend to sleep after finding a human friend for the night. If he has a plan, he will definitely reveal his true intentions!] Was it
because of what he said at the end?
I was worried for some reason that
I might not have had an accident.
It was shift time, so I woke up Misha and I closed my eyes for a while.
***
The dazzling light,
the noise of the crowd,
and the humid air that was unique to the city wrapped around the lungs.
Karon cried out unconsciously. I
just wanted to do that. Should I say it
was refreshing? ?
_
_
_
_
_ Just as a large horned worm breaks its shell to become an adult.
In
this expedition, he has grown into a true warrior.
That
‘s why……. Barbarians?”
“Hey, I hear you. They’re going to run into them recklessly, so be careful.”
I felt that contemptuous gaze only as a pleasant stimulus.
Doesn’t that mean that I’m not paying attention.
Like the two night friends he killed in the past few days.
‘It was easy.’
Bjorn, the son of Yandel.
Everything was as he said.
The first floor was full of garbage-like people who hid their true intentions, and as soon as they showed an opening, they rushed at it saying it was right. They did
n’t even know it was a trap.
Those who looked down on them as prey The expression he made when he was cast in this role was the first time he had ever experienced it in his life.
“Landing”.
One on the back, one on the right arm, one on the left arm.
Carrying a total of three bags, he proudly headed to the checkpoint. The gate for 9th grade explorers As expected, the line was long.
As soon as he arrived, his fellow countrymen found him and approached him.
“Charon, son of Tarson! What the hell is that bag?”
“Now, it’s full of equipment! Could it have been looting?”
Charon shook his head resolutely.
It can’t be.”
This is not a disgusting act like looting.
No, rather, a noble act of protecting one’s own people.
The barbarians’ eyes changed
when we drew a line about their concerns.
i envy you! If you sell all of them, how many stone breads will there be?”
His classmates who finished the coming-of-age ceremony with him, but today they look
young
.
“Don’t be envious. You can earn this much if you know how. From now on, you won’t have to eat stone bread for the rest of your life.”
“What!! If there is such a thing, please let me know!”
“I will tell you! But before that! I have something to tell you first.” First of all,
Charon told me sequentially what he had experienced in the labyrinth.
Being betrayed by his colleagues.
The reason was his own heart.
They thought we were easy monsters with great rewards. “We are not like monsters!!”
“We are warriors!!”
As expected, the people of the same tribe were greatly indignant. And when they heard that it was the ‘Little Vulcan’ that saved him
,
they praised it with a raised voice.
“Little Vulcan.” Bjorn, the son of Yandel!”
“He is a great and wise warrior who can read the thoughts of a vicious plunderer!” The atmosphere
heated
up in an instant
. It is all thanks to his teachings that I returned with so much loot!”
“Oh! Is that true?!”
“Really! From now on, I will pass on that teaching to you!” Eventually, Charon
openly shared
everything he learned from Bjorn, even the ‘method’ he devised himself.
Of course, he gave all the credit to Bjorn
. All you have to do is save it and pretend to sleep!!”
“Yandel’s son, Bjorn! Is he a genius?
” I will follow!”
Looking at his fellow countrymen, who
were burning with excitement, Karon was sure. “Tsk,
those guys are starting again .”
So far,
barbarians have been the lowest-ranking prey of the labyrinth.
I hate to admit it, but it was the same in reality that I faced not long ago.
I may be strong in a head-to-head battle, but I had to be helpless in front of their cunning tricks.
But… …
“Yandel’s son Bjorn said! All of this will be a noble first step for all of us!!” ”
Behel—laaaaaaaa!!!”
“Behel—aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
It will be different from now on .
