Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

It wasn’t long.

“Did you just say fuck me?”

Amelia asked again, as if confirming, and I hurriedly began to deal with it.

Oh sure, no ignorance apology.

Because this is an important issue for me.

“Keuheumheum My name is Lee Hansoo. It’s not Lee Hans.”

“so?”

“I want you to pay attention to your pronunciation. Isn’t that right? It’s a very sensitive matter for me…”

Even as he said that, he worried that he might be less likeable because of this, but surprisingly, Amelia was kind enough to understand.

“…Okay. I’ll be careful from now on.”

I don’t know why he reacts like this with his pronunciation, but he seems to have recognized that he crossed the line.

Ok then this part is over.

Since he talked to me from the other side, I asked what I was curious about.

“Hey Amelia.”

“Tell me.”

“What did you mean by what you said earlier? That the royal family might have known that I was a demon and condoned it.”

The question I had to hold back even though I wanted to ask before coming out as a demon.

“It’s still only one possibility.”

Amelia put her insurance first and spoke her guess.

“Once the royal family had done ‘verification’, your true identity would have been exposed long ago.”

well that’s right

Even if I use only one number item like today, there is no way for me to do anything.

But…

“I understand that, but why does that have to do with acquiescence? Wouldn’t it be more natural for the royal family to completely trust me?”

“Maybe it is. But at that time, you were the most famous hero in the city. I thought it was possible that the royal family could not touch it.”

uh i still don’t understand

Even if I blow the name of Amman, it is only a very small existence from the royal family’s point of view.

“More details.”

“Hmm, don’t you have any sense for politics?”

No, please stop researching Lee Han-soo.

As I watched without replying, Amelia smiled and continued.

“Think about it. A hero who sacrificed his life in the labyrinth to save his comrades and fought a bloody battle with the villains to save thousands of explorers. But the hero’s true identity was an evil spirit? What kind of problems do you think will arise?”

“Uh… Confused?”

“Yes, you will fall into chaos. In the meantime, the royal family, along with the three churches, described demons as evil and announced them as targets to be exterminated.”

Ah…

Only then did I understand.

Why did he think that the royal family could have acquiesced to my identity?

“Evil spirits always have to be evil.”

“Fortunately, they are quick to notice.”

I am different from other demons.

He helped his fellow tribesmen to raise the weaker Barbarians and furthermore risked his life in front of anyone else in the Battle of Noark.

That’s why the royal family had no choice but to be careful.

The citizens will think of me the moment they execute me for being an evil spirit.

You saved thousands?

Are you still killing them because they are evil spirits?

“Of course, even if I identified you as an evil spirit and put you on the scaffold, there wouldn’t be a riot. As usual, it would be noisy for a while and then quiet down. But…” “I don’t think the royal family wanted to set even such a precedent

. Such a precedent that there may be evil spirits that can be of help in the world.”

“Again, it’s speculation.”

Amelia ended the conversation with the word inference, but from my point of view, it was very uncomfortable.

Because it wasn’t like ignorant reasoning.

There is a basis. However, the problem is that the basis sounds credible to my ears.

‘What if this is really true? Should I wash my identity as soon as I return and live in hiding?’

It was a time when my head was cluttered with thoughts like that.

“…Are you Amelia?”

“I don’t sleep. And from now on, when you’re alone, call me Emily. I’ll call you by a pseudonym, too.”

“What suddenly?”

“Can’t I make mistakes in front of others?”

When I say again, I’m sure you’re referring to the time you beat Beck’s gang.

“So it’s good to have a habit normally. If we go according to plan, we’ll soon be in contact with the castle lord’s side.”

After saying that, I erased my thoughts.

So even if you think about the royal family, you can’t find a proper answer in this era, right?

Let’s focus on this one first.

***

Next morning.

smart.

A visitor came to the inn where we were staying.

“My name is Rick Omanus. Is that Bjorn, Emily Thor’s son?”

He was a wonderful knight.

Not just an explorer wearing a sword and clad in plate armor, but a real knight under the command of a lord.

‘There are knights on this side too.’

Well, that’s why Amelia’s going to use an aura.

It must have been difficult for him to build his sword proficiency high enough to have a natural awakening at that age.

He must have learned from someone.

“What’s the matter?”

“The lord of the castle has decided to support you by valuing your abilities.”

It was an arrogant choice of words that brought to mind high-ranking people in Lapdonia.

You just don’t think we’ll say no, do you?

what not to do though.

“What do you mean by support?”

When Amelia pretended not to know, Rick Omanus held out a piece of paper in lieu of an answer.

“The details are all written there, so please read it and then answer?”

A contract that lists the support we can get and the things we must give up when accepting a recruitment offer.

Looking at the conditions, it wasn’t bad.

If the team members receive support and make achievements, they are given the right to go up and back to Lapdonia, and they can receive many benefits with the power of the lord on their back.

Instead, in an emergency, you must follow the lord’s orders.

“It was recruiting, not support, right?”

“I didn’t tell you. The lord of the castle highly valued your abilities.”

“I need a moment to think.”

“I’ll wait in front of you. I hope it doesn’t take too long.”

It was a situation we had been waiting for, but we took a lot of time because if we responded too easily, we could be suspicious.

And when you open the door again.

“……Did you stay in that position all the time?”

“Of course it’s official work.”

Even so, I didn’t expect to be in front of you for more than two hours.

“Now take it here.”

After that, we gave the signed contract to the driver, and the driver said that he had already spoken to the inner guard and told us to visit him anytime.

I really didn’t think I would turn it down.

“But does a signature mean something?”

“It’s formality. It’s impossible to live a normal life in this city without going against his will anyway.”

What do you mean by bluffing in front of a newcomer?

There is also a way to move to the eastern sector and mate with Orculis.

“Then see you later.”

The knight finished his business and left without looking back.

So now it’s our turn to start the day.

“Emily, what are you going to do now? It attracted attention, but I don’t think the lord would want to meet him in person.”

“There’s no problem. It’s something that needs attention in the future.”

“Well that’s it.”

I’m not proud of it, but I’m confident about what draws attention.

With this barbarian body, he could get caught up in all sorts of incidents even if he stayed still.

“Then let’s go.”

After that, we packed up all our gear and headed to the Yeongju Castle. Last time, I did simple administrative work only in the outer castle, but this time I was able to enter the inner castle, which required permission.

“You’re Emily-sama and Iron Mask-sama. I’ve heard from Sir Omanus. My name is Mel. It’s my duty to assist the two of you when they visit the inner castle from now on.”

Administrative Mel greeted us with a bright smile and said that he welcomed us as a member of the Korean family.

It was a story that didn’t require much attention.

I’ve already heard everything from Amelia.

“First of all, since it’s your first day, it seems like registering first. Oh, what are your plans for the future? Most of you will join your original team—” “I have no intention of joining the regular team.

”

“I see. Then I will guide you in the direction of creating a team in your name.”

Afterwards, we followed the administrator to the inner labyrinth management office, which is only available to Seongju-side explorers.

Then, they created and registered a two-member duo team.

Oh, for reference, the team name is ‘Iron Mask’.

Is a nickname like this more memorable than a name like Emily or Bjorn?

“What would you like to do with your three-figure mate? Tell me what role you’d like—”

“Hold.”

“yes?”

“Until we find someone we like, the two of us will move for now. So, I’d like to block all applications for joining.”

“Yes, I will do as you say.”

Amelia, who skillfully finished all the party settings like a local, confirmed one piece of information to the labyrinth management staff.

“How many Beaters can we choose?”

The chaser means the position of entering the labyrinth at a young age and taking on all sorts of dangerous tasks, like Gensia.

“Currently there are 13 people.”

“What if we include beaters who are affiliated rather than independent?”

“173 people.”

“I want to see everything.”

Amelia meticulously read the details the staff had picked out, not missing a single detail.

And I found the name I was looking for.

“I want to take these two children here.”

“If it’s the Rain Wales sisters, it’s impossible because they already have a team

.”

“……yes.”

For now, with this, the business scheduled for today is over.

However, before returning, Amelia took me to a place located in the inner sanctuary.

It was a bar.

“A pub? Is there a place like this in the castle?”

“It is one of the welfares for those who have obtained access to the inner castle.”

“But why are you here…”

I had never seen Amelia take a sip of alcohol, so I couldn’t figure out her intentions.

Until you see the sign for the pub.

[Rain Wales]

It can’t be just a coincidence that Amelia’s last name and this tavern have the same name.

“Aren’t you going to come in?”

“Ah ah uh uh …….”

The room was pretty clean and there weren’t many people, probably because it was daytime. We took a seat in a corner and ordered drinks and snacks.

And…

“…….”

“…….”

They just sat there without saying a word to each other.

No, why did you bring me here?

Just looking at it, it looks like a place full of stories—

“Are you curious?”

I thought for a moment and nodded.

“It won’t be a very interesting story.”

“You can’t just experience fun things in life.”

Saying that, I grabbed a glass and hit a one-shot.

wow this is poison It’s disgustingly tasteless.

After all, is it Noark, the city of real men?

“…Strange guy.”

“huh?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

As Amelia said, she gulped down her drink.

Oh what’s up with him? even one shot

Is this a story that is hard to come up with sober?

That was the moment when Amelia set the glass down on the table.

Quaang-!

oh that’s a surprise

I quickly turned my head in the direction of the sound.

A thick male voice came from the kitchen.

“Bitches who don’t even know this grace!!”

The man’s voice was filled with anger, and soon the sound of something breaking was heard.

The sound was mixed with a female scream.

Poo-! Poo-!

A situation so clear that even the blind could tell that violence was taking place in the kitchen.

However, the few guests seemed familiar with this situation.

“The owner catches his daughter again.”

“I feel sorry for the daughters too.

What is the owner? Daughter?

Then I can’t believe I’m being beaten over there……

Poof.

The moment I realized that, I hurriedly turned my head to check on Amelia.

Burr.

Amelia’s hand holding the glass was trembling.

It was too pitiful and pitiful to regard it as mere stale anger.
