STGB Chapter 478

Episode 478 Big Fish (1)

The second coming-of-age ceremony after becoming a tribal chief.

Even so, I was able to complete the entire coming-of-age ceremony process in a much faster time than before.

‘Um, didn’t the newbie come in at all this time?’

Among the young warriors of this season, none of them behaved suspiciously as players.

It’s fortunate.

The warriors don’t have to lose their bodies, and the users don’t have to survive day by day being treated as evil spirits.

That damn game should go away.

“Charon.”

“Tell me, Chief.”

While thinking about it, I checked the newbie status with the 2 elders next to me.

“Kiltau’s third son, Vectar? Oh, the guy who picked out the shield at the coming-of-age ceremony last time!”

“Yes. How is he?”

“Hehe, you must be nervous about choosing a shield?”

“Answer any questions I ask.”

“I’m doing well. I heard that you were pretty amazing in the labyrinth…….” When

asked for details, the latest information came out like a barbarian’s short hair.

“It seems to be a guy who looks like you. Just like you who went to the 2nd floor during the first exploration, it seems that he went up to the 2nd floor with the warriors who became the same team.”

“On the second floor…?”

Newbies actively utilized the team system and starting items I introduced.

I bought a torch by giving a bottle of potion to another explorer, and cleared the Dark Zone based on that. On the 2nd floor

, it is said that

he helped other warriors while playing tank with a shield…

Yes, it seems like your head is spinning quite a bit. You are already adjusting well.

It wouldn’t have been easy even if I had amman game knowledge.

Of course, I was worried about one thing.

‘If you mess around like that, you’ll be noticed by the evil spirit hunters of the Secret Police Agency…’

Well, he’ll take care of this on his own.

He suddenly came next to me and said, ‘I’m from the United States, where are you from?’ If you’re a bad guy for asking like this, you’re not going to survive long in the first place.

“I’ll have to put a torch in from the next rider.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea.”

After that one round of conversation ended, I did not chatter and headed for the city leading the young warriors.

That was when

“Chief.”

Charon, who was following me, called me with a stiff voice.

“Actually… I found out a while ago.”

“……?”

“I found out the cause of death of the warriors this time. Didn’t you ask to find out?”

Oh that.

The first thing I did after returning to the Holy Land was to confirm the death of this rider.

The number of dead warriors was seven.

A monumental figure with a first exploration survival rate of nearly 90%.

However, I was not satisfied with the figures.

shoes in potion. And even using bonding magic to make a team of three or four, does it make sense for three people to die?

“So what was the sign?”

In response to my question, Charon said in a terrifying voice.

“Looks like a looter. I looked it up and there were several reports from the guild that the bodies of people of the same kind were found in the Crystal Cave.”

“…….”

“According to the report, it seems that there were several traces of being hit by people, not monsters.”

“As expected… I see.”

It was the cause that I expected in my heart, so the understanding was quick.

Of course, I had one question.

“Still, it’s a bit strange. Teams of four still get attacked by looters. That’s on the first floor.”

“Actually… I thought that was strange too, so I looked into it a bit more. But…”

Charon soon blurted out his words and spoke softly so that the young warriors who followed did not hear.

“Recently, our heart rate has risen significantly.”

As the tribal chief responsible for the future of the barbarian people, it was a heartbreaking statement.

“Is the price going up…?”

“It’s literally. The standard price announced by the Mage Tower has risen several times.”

“Nimiral.”

Now I understand the situation.

As it became a being that was not as easily defeated as before, of course, the supply decreased and the scarcity value increased.

The price of the heart must have skyrocketed day by day.

‘With millions of stones in one heart… it’s only natural that there will be babies who go blind.’

Well, it will be more money than exploring the 4th and 5th floors.

Even if they give amman potions and form a team of three or four people.

If professional looters with different specs were active in earnest on the first floor, it would be almost impossible for the young warriors to respond.

“When I asked the explorers who saw the bodies, they said that most of the bodies actually had traces of being killed almost unilaterally.”

These dads to eat.

“Kadudeuk…….”

It seems that a strong response is needed.

***

After personally leading the young warriors to the dimension plaza, with the help of the waiting wizard, they tied them together in groups of three or four and even cast a binding magic.

Oh, by the way, this time I wasn’t a wizard from the guild.

Now that we have a wizard on our team.

“It’s a low-level magic, but… I’m a little tired because the number is this high.”

“Thank you, Versil Gowland.”

“Ah… I didn’t mean to be condescending…”

“Still, nothing changes. When you’re grateful, you have to say thank you properly.”

As I grinned and tapped Versil on the shoulder, Amelia let out a sigh as if she didn’t like it for some reason.

“…It’s a start again, that guy.”

I couldn’t figure out what the hell I started doing.

“It’s like Yandel and we’ll go in soon.”

Anyway, the guidance of the warriors is over. We also quickly entered the labyrinth.

「You have entered the Crystal Cave on the 1st floor.」

The Crystal Cave on the 1st floor reminds you of the past whenever you enter.

We headed straight for the dark area in the center.

“…something feels strange. Coming back here.”

As soon as he saw the monument, Versil muttered in a strange voice.

But wouldn’t I have liked it?

“Is there anything strange about that? I remember that you just opened the dimensional door and ran away comfortably.”

Erwen lightly scratched at it, and Versil flinched as well.

Fortunately, however, Versil did not react sensitively and rather apologized.

“…sorry.”

The atmosphere gets weird.

I deliberately joined in a cheerful voice.

“Is there anything to be sorry about? It’s not your fault.”

But would that sound uncomfortable again?

It’s been a while since Erwen directly refuted my words.

“That’s wrong. If no one escaped and fought together then more people would have been able to come back alive.”

Well, at that time, he lost his real sister.

“There’s always a price to pay for making a bad choice.”

“…That’s true. So I had to pay the price too.”

Versil, as if sincerely regretting what had happened, responded gently to Erwen’s excessive remarks.

At this, Erwen was no more sarcastic.

No, he even apologized to me.

“…Sorry Mister. The atmosphere just got weird because of me.”

“Huh…? No. It’s okay. It’s not weird at all, is it?”

“Then… I’m glad.”

what? When did he become so fine?

He was a little hot-tempered, but to regain his composure so easily when his sister was involved…

“Bjorn! So when is that guy coming out? How long have I been waiting for this day!”

At that time, Einar exclaimed excitedly.

Amelia frowned at this.

“You, Barbarian, dare to ask again what you have said several times in the last meeting?”

“…I forgot!”

“and?”

“I’m sorry…?”

“It’s much better.”

Einar shrugged at Amelia’s words as if he had definitely finished the ordering last time.

I was still curious, so I asked the same thing again.

“So… when can we fight? I roughly remember how to fight!”

In the end, Amelia also reluctantly answered.

“…7 days left.”

“You have to wait that long? Isn’t it possible to summon him from the 3rd day!”

“Curiously, he says the same thing as during the meeting.”

The 1st floor lord will appear randomly from the 3rd day when 5 or more people are gathered in one place.

One word is a probability, and the probability increases exponentially as time goes by, so it is virtually 100% summoned before the end of the day.

Therefore…

‘Preparations for summoning start from the evening of the 6th day.’

On the 7th day when the labyrinth is closed, a schedule was set up so that it could be summoned definitively.

Because that’s also a 5-player strategy.

“Then… are you just waiting here until then?”

Einar already had a bored expression on his face.

It was already good to see him making a fuss about being bored every day, but there was no problem.

“Don’t worry Einar. While I’m waiting, you have something to do with me.”

“Oh! Really!”

Einar was very pleased with my words, while Amelia tilted her head.

“…Yandel? I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

I guess so.

Because this is a plan I came up with on the way today.

“Anyway, shouldn’t the five of us stay together until the 6th day?

“……What are you trying to do?”

Amelia looked like she was afraid I would cause another accident.

It makes people feel sad.

“Don’t worry. It’s just the two of us going for a walk.”

Oh, of course, I plan to take off all the expensive equipment.

Like a beginner who has just entered a labyrinth.

***

Separated from the group with Einar.

Even if he didn’t know what Erwen was, he came forward to help himself, but he gently refused.

The reason is simple.

From now on, only the barbarians can do what they have to do.

That’s why…….

truggling.

Einar and I are walking in a cave alone.

Without a destination, just as the footsteps lead.

“……”

“…….”

For reference, the existing equipment was already taken off and put in subspace, and then the barbarian beginner set was put on.

A pair of boots.

cloth backpack.

pockets on the waist.

And even the leftover iron weapon that no one chose during the coming-of-age ceremony.

“…would they be fooled by Bjorn?”

He listened to my plan and followed along, but Ainar seemed a little hesitant.

“Both you and I are fairly well-known, but…”

“What is known is the name, not the face.”

“You’re saying this because you don’t know! Even if I don’t know, people will definitely recognize you!”

Well is it really?

I do not think so.

In the first place, a person’s first impression is determined by the situation they encounter, their appearance, and their temperament.

“No matter how old we are… Everyone must think it’s strange.”

He also has a lot of needless worries?

Barbarians are all presbyopia, so people from other races can’t tell the difference in age by a few years. Ah, the

basis is my experience.

The words that shined—.

“Greuk, greuk.”

Then, a goblin appeared from a crack in the crystal rock.

And…….

suddenly –

it was immediately slaughtered by Ainar’s iron longsword.

He shouted,

“Einar! What the hell is this?!”

“Why why! I was just cut by a goblin…”

Einar flinched and protested in an unfair voice.

“That’s the problem! Didn’t I kill it too easily!”

“…then what should I do?”

“I’ll show you.”

After that, I found a 9th grade monster and showed you how to fight it.

“That’s it…!”

The opponent is a goblin.

“…….”

Looking at the monster’s eyes full of murderous power, he puts power into the grip holding the weapon.

Kwak. Rather,

the tip of the sword shakes with excessive force.

Aaah

!” I swung the greatsword at

random, hoping for the protection of the ancestors, and

of course the goblin avoided it.

The

point is to run like a person who has starved for a few days to pick up the magic stone that has fallen.

“How can I do it?

”

. Even if it’s just me—.”

Hu keeps talking back?

“So can I do it? Just say that.”

“I’ll try…”

“Oh, and always shout battle cries. Only then will the viewer think that we are fighting sincerely.”

The name of the ancestor god shouted against a level 9 monster. However, Ainar held back his shame and followed my words.

“Be Behel—Laa… .”

It felt like I lost my motivation, but this isn’t bad.

Therefore, the basic training is over at this point.

The only thing left is actual combat.

“Now, from now on, we will continue to move like this. Do you understand?”

“Okay…….”

After that, we went around the crystal cave in earnest and fought fiercely with level 9 monsters

. I filled my hungry stomach while chewing on the stone bread I was eating.

It’s called Barbarian Gangtaekong mode.

Surprisingly, it took quite a lot of mental strength to maintain this state.

No matter how hard I adjusted my strength, it was because a goblin would die with just one stroke… ….

I got used to it as experience accumulated.

Day 1, Day 2.

Time passed like that.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had a bite yet.

However, there was no reason to doubt or be disappointed

. On the second day, the looters will be careful with their eyes.’ By the time the 3rd car started and all

the explorers who

were leaving the first floor had gone

upstairs .

Turbuck.

Four explorers approaching without any intention of hiding their presence.

They

had an assortment of equipment.

‘I think it will be at least the 4th floor…’

It’s not particularly important

. The guys who were approaching stopped walking,

and…

“Anyway, how many people are roaming about the subject. Why is it so hard to find?”

One of them smiled at me.

Surprisingly, I It matched exactly what I thought.

“I finally found it.”

That ‘s

right

.
