Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

It’s not like I’m sorry now, and I don’t want to regret that I took down the mace at that time.

It’s kind of awkward, but it’s cramped.

“You don’t look good.”

“…….”

“Have you ever known a child?”

I shook my head at Amelia’s question.

And I asked a question.

“What will happen to those children later when they become adults?”

“Become an explorer.”

“Is there no other way? Maybe work in the lord’s castle or something like that.”

“It’s impossible. Those children came under the lord of the castle after making such a promise in the first place.”

“A promise?”

“Instead of raising you, I will do whatever you tell me to do.”

It was absurd.

“Leave all the chores and use it as bait when plundering, so you’re raising it?”

“Children who survive Hell grow up strong.”

As soon as I heard that, the words the tribal chief had told me flashed through my mind.

[If you are, you know. Only surviving warriors become strong warriors.]

In a way, it was in a similar vein.

In order to survive, the environment is structured in such a way that you have no choice but to become strong.

Seongju deliberately placed the children in such an environment.

“Still, the mortality rate is getting lower and lower except for the childhood, when it is mainly used as bait. The same goes for the treatment of children in the assigned team.”

Amelia continued.

If you survive for about 3 years as a decoy, your qualifications will be recognized and you will begin to learn weapon skills.

In addition, it is said that if an essence without an owner comes out during hunting, you can eat that essence…

“Children who have gone through such a life become a force that can be used immediately as soon as they become adults.”

“What if I said I would quit when I became an adult?”

“There’s no such thing. Usually, since I’m a child, I’ve been steadily ideologically educated. When I become an adult, I become a servant more loyal to the lord than anyone else.”

“But what if you still wake up and quit?”

Amelia frowned as if she was persistent, then opened her mouth.

“I’m going to make corrections. Be loyal again.”

“…….”

“Don’t worry too much. There won’t be any children who went under the castle lord without knowing that.”

The conversation ended there.

But I kept thinking about it even after that.

What kind of time did the player who entered the body of ‘Gencia Nephrin’ have to spend?

Well maybe it wasn’t too bad.

Because Noark doesn’t just kill it because it’s an evil spirit.

‘……But I won’t release them freely.’

From Seongju’s point of view, it must be that an evil spirit resides in the body of a talented person who has been raised by feeding the remaining essence for several years.

The lord of the castle would have made the dwelling evil spirit continue the life of ‘Gencia’.

Even with a little stronger ‘correction’.

‘Anyway, whether it was discovered that it was an evil spirit or not, it must have been plundered from the beginning. Then it could be that the fact that they were all NPCs and not human beings was actually a defense mechanism…….’

No, why do I keep wondering about this?

‘Let’s stop thinking.’

I’m done thinking about this.

It doesn’t matter what environment the player had to survive in.

The woman tried to kill me.

Yeah, so…

‘I just did what I had to do.’

that’s all the case

After cleaning it up like this, it’s a bit cramped.

“What’s up Amelia. Let’s go. Let’s do what we have to do.”

“You… why do you have so many emotional ups and downs?”

“Isn’t that a barbarian!”

Having shaken off all my unpleasant feelings, I continued to fish for predators using the technique of ‘self-defense’.

A few more days passed like that……

“Oh, another subspace ring came out.”

It was a time when I was arranging the equipment of the looter team as usual as ever.

It’s like –

“…… Huh?”

As I tilted my head, the ground shook as if an earthquake had struck.

To be honest, I was quite embarrassed.

Huh, I hadn’t even thought of this.

Like hard-!

Cracks formed on the third floor.

***

Opening a rift in the layer you entered.

It’s a little sudden, but it’s not particularly surprising or surprising.

It’s something that can happen anytime you’re exploring.

But the problem is…….

‘Why now?’

We did not enter the labyrinth for normal exploration.

Even in the 3rd floor rift, there is no essence I can eat.

No, since the essence slot is full in the first place, it is impossible to eat it unless the essence of the corpse golem is erased.

Instead, aren’t there number items and rift stones?

You can’t bring them back 20 years anyway.

If I sell something, the money will help me stay here, but…

‘Let’s stop drinking kimchi soup and check it out.’

I quickly put an end to my worries.

Having a rift open and being able to enter the rift were another matter.

“Where is Amelia?

Those with the talent of a guide can know the location of a rift when it is created. If

so, where is the rift created

? No.

So you don’t even have to worry—

“Five minutes to the north.”

It really opened right in front of Mr. Wa’s nose.

It came out like this a long time ago.

Last time, on the 5th floor, a crack was formed in a completely different area, so I had to drink it

. ! Let’s go!”

I shouted with the momentum to run right away, and Amelia asked briefly.

“Are you going to go in?”

He said, of course.

If you can enter a rift, it’s best to go in unconditionally.

Purification, items, and so on.

There is…….

‘No, wait a minute.’

“Amelia, have you been to the 3rd floor rift?”

“Once before.”

Yes, you’ve already eaten up all your experience here.

Somehow, you’re not motivated again this time.

“Not me! So let’s go!”

“…….”

“Isn’t it almost successful to catch the eye of the lord of the castle anyway! If you can’t take a few more loot, nothing will change!”

“But if you go to the rift and run into some trouble…”

“I won’t crash! And we are allies! Help me out once more! I will quietly get my merit points and come out!”

“…Okay, follow me.”

Amelia, who was silent for a moment, sighed and quickly began to guide the way

. She must have

decided that it would be better to endure the annoyance for a few days if her relationship with her ‘collaborator’ would deteriorate.

She is a woman who pursues rationality in many ways

.

Because she is not emotional, the barbarian ignorant ‘do it’ works well for Amelia. It’s more reasonable for this woman to do it even if it’s annoying all the time. Tadat. Anyway, as I was

running,

I soon saw a portal within visual range

. One more thought……”

Thinking something.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!”

I threw myself over it without hesitation.

And… a

flash !

was in the white temple.

***

High enough to [leap] as much as you like.

White marble pillars,

and a hundred stone statues along the edge of the wall

. ‘

Once I confirmed that there were no other explorers in sight, I slowly looked around.

It was purely curiosity rather than the process of confirming where this place was.

That’s because there is only one crack on the third floor.

White Temple 百色神殿.

It’s not white, but a hundred colors. For reference,

it was also a place that I had to visit at least once during play. The supply

and demand for experience was enormous. ”

Do you

know about this place, Yandel?”

“To what extent .”

has three characteristics:

1. Like corpse golems, elite mobs that do not appear in normal fields pour

out .

Rather, the explorers who have entered must compete with each other.

Only one team can enter the boss room.

If the team that entered first fails to attack, then the other team has a chance.

Oh, and Amelia and I compete with other teams. 3. When a rift is created, a total of 5 portals are opened on that floor, and those who enter the same portal become a team.

This

was the most difficult in the game.

Of course,

a team of 5 . I found a rift while I was active, but what if the two of us got inside first? The

two fellow characters who were traveling together would fall out.

Just like this team of explorers who just came in.

” ……Huh?”

.”

The floating portal spewed out the three explorers and closed.

It looks like they left their teammates outside…

“It’s a big deal! Lemud and Hans couldn’t come in!!”

Oh Nice.

“……Calm down! We may have separated, but if it’s Lemud and Hans, the two of us will be able to survive on the third floor!” Soon

after, a human swordsman wearing a sword soothed his confused colleagues and approached us.

“Nice to meet you. Did the two of you come here?”

“By the way.”

Despite Amelia’s disjointed speech, the man smiled kindly.

“Haha, we won’t be together for a while. It’s fate that we met like this, but let’s start with Tongseongmyeong first. I’m Carlton Drek.”

“Emily.”

“Bjorn.” As

Amelia and I revealed our pseudonyms, Carlton asked me cautiously.

“Bjorn, are you a barbarian?”

It was a natural question

. Because it’s in one state.

It’s all covered with an iron plate from the face to the toes, so it’s impossible to check whether there’s a tattoo or not.

That’s why …….

“What does that matter?”

I’ve been told,

“I’m sorry. It was just curiosity, but it could have been rude to you.”

Apparently, he seemed to think that I was a big human being.

But, most of the narrow-minded people react sensitively to such trivial questions.

“Carlton, would you like to come over here?”

Anyway . As we revealed our names, the fairy man who was watching the situation from behind called Carlton

and…

‘I can’t hear you.’

Whispering and talking about something.

It seems like they are discussing something for now…

“They say we’re suspicious.”

“Huh?

” Unless you use magic.”

“…I see?”

He must have a high level of hearing. I didn’t

know about it until now.

Even later, you shouldn’t secretly whisper in front of him.

“So what are you talking about? Their expression is serious.”

The following was the content of the conversation that was intercepted using Amelia.

‘These guys calmly reveal their names. On the 13th, the two of them walked around on the 3rd floor, and maybe they were looters. One even covered his face. Isn’t it?’

The fairy man said something strange, and Carlton, who heard it, said,

“But there is no other way. You can’t attack the back first if you think it’s suspicious. Let’s not show off and go around together and find out what kind of people they are.”

Did the discussion end like that?

“Ah! sorry! Because he said he was worried about the comrades he left behind.”

Carlton approached us with a big smile.

And gave us time to introduce the other two by name

. …”

“I’ll do it. Amberne Berta Garcia. As you can see, the bow is my specialty.”

Aimbourne ended the introduction by briefly revealing his main weapon and

name .

Nice to meet you all!”

Like a barbarian, the warrior who couldn’t even get into a whisper among his two comrades smiled brightly and approached us.

And introduced himself without the slightest warning.

“I am Yandel, the third son of Zarku!”

“.. ………What?”

As soon as I heard it, my mind went blank.

If I’m not hearing it wrong now…….

“Ah, is it a little difficult for humans? Just call me Yandel Jarku!”

Biological father it meant
