Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

My heart beats as if it’s broken.

Even though I thought I wanted to die every day, my body was longing for life. Lee Baek-ho’s smile deepened even more as if he had read her psychology.

“You know that Bjorn Yandel is a player, right?”

“I don’t know. What the hell are you talking about—”

Misha immediately denied it, but Lee Baek-ho didn’t even listen to her until the end.

“Oh you knew that too?”

A voice that just doesn’t sound like a voice.

“…….”

Misha looked into Lee Baek-ho’s eyes as if reading his intentions.

And…

startled.

He held his breath involuntarily.

Her eyes were so empty that I couldn’t tell the depth of what was hidden.

The feeling of being able to see through and pierce through everything.

Seeing Misha tremble without saying anything, his mouth opened.

“How did Bjorn Yandel die?”

A voice that simply wants to confirm the facts.

However, Misha sensed an unknown anger.

The reason was unknown.

Could it be that the two were close friends? no, that doesn’t make sense Then why would you vent your anger on yourself?

“It is known in the city that he died while giving you time to escape…”

At that moment, the air became heavy.

“Didn’t you kill them?”

A feeling of intimidation that presses down so much that it is difficult to breathe.

At the same time, the emotion of anger that was buried in Lee Baek-ho’s voice became clearer.

“He also knew he was a demon. Didn’t he just stab him in the back and devour his fortune? He said he put your inheritance in your name? That’s a good enough reason to kill him?”

“What nonsense—”

“Why can’t it make no sense. You don’t even see us as people.”

A cynical yet sarcastic accent.

At those words, Misha noticed that the man had a similar experience.

Is that why?

It felt like a knife cutting through my heart.

It’s not just because he’s afraid of that guy…….

Could Bjorn have thought of this while looking at himself?

If their identity was revealed, would they receive hate from us or would they secretly be anxious and hurt?

So, was there a line drawn in one corner?

And…

What was he thinking at the last moment he was left alone?

Just thinking about it made my lungs tighten.

Even so, he would have been anxious and afraid.

That’s probably why he didn’t leave anything in the will.

They always laughed in front of us, but behind that laugh, there must have been a deep loneliness.

But…

“Answer me. Are you guys like that?”

One thing is clear.

Even so, he valued us more than anyone else.

That’s why Misha said with straight eyes.

“It can’t be…”

Even though she knew that even if she spoke to this man, her voice wouldn’t reach him.

she replied.

“To not see him as a person… Bjorn… How could such a thing be possible…”

At least she couldn’t.

That fact made me regret it.

I should have told you this sooner. Then Bjorn wouldn’t have to worry about us.

“…….”

Misha closed her eyes.

The unknown man was no longer afraid.

I just closed my eyes and endured the emotions that surged like the waves of the ocean.

That was when

“……You’ve got good friends.”

Baekho Lee said.

“Unlike me.”

Unlike his previous tyrannical appearance, his voice was somewhat sad.

Misha opened her eyes again.

At some point, the pressure that had been tightening my skin to the point of numbness disappeared without a trace.

“Isn’t it because it’s Mischa Karlstein?”

“By the way…?”

When Misha responded with embarrassment at the extreme change in attitude, Lee Baek-ho laughed and continued.

“What would you do if I told you there was a way to bring Bjorn Yandel back to life?”

The corners of his eyes were wide as he said that.

* * *

Two weeks have passed since I joined Felik Barker’s clan.

And…

a blast.

Now I am sitting in front of a blazing campfire.

The place is a rocky desert on the second floor.

In the background, four men and women are busy preparing to camp.

Oh, by the way, that’s what I ordered.

Wouldn’t it take a long time to entrust all tasks to one chaser as usual?

“Ah, why do we do this…”

“Be quiet, I’ll stop over there.”

I heard you already, man.

I smiled and looked at the four men and women preparing for camp. Then the water muscle mass came out and our eyes met.

The first to prove his skills by joining Felic Barker’s clan was the bloody promotion…… No, he was the one who played a game called a skirmish here.

Based on the ground, the explorer rating is 6.

I have a history of barely saving my life with a potion after my head exploded in half in 3 seconds in a No Kill battle.

But, so his name is…

“Dumbo.”

“……Not Dumbo, but Durborn.”

Oh yes.

It’s true that I made a mistake, but I’m a little annoyed when I show my face.

Durbonne must be a pseudonym anyway.

I don’t know what’s serious.

“Are you very out of your mind?”

I got up and went to Dumbo.

Then he started trembling as if he remembered the previous beating.

If you’re going to do this just by standing in front of it, why do you flaunt your spirit?

“Dumbo.”

I put my hand on his shoulder and murmured.

With the weight of the title of the third team leader of the Barker Clan.

“Does the team leader look funny?”

He clenched his hands and spoke.

“Your name is Dumbo now. It’s easier to pronounce that way. Got it?”

“…….”

“Answer.”

“…I see.”

Tsk, that’s what it’s going to be.

He patted Dumbo on the shoulder for accepting the name change request and sent him to finish preparing for camping.

Then he returned to the campfire and forgot the beef jerky.

Jilgeongjilgung.

On the first day of joining, I had only three skirmishes, and with the approval of the clan leader, I became the team leader of only three teams from that day on.

And, like Noark, the real man camp, the power of the team leader is absolute.

Especially if the place is inside the labyrinth.

‘Woo, is this the taste of power?’

While everyone was working, one of them was playing, and then a Vishil came and said that the camp was ready.

“Sleep. We’ll stand by for the vigil…….”

Visil’s name is…….

‘What was it?’

After all, he is the explorer of our team.

He’s not a guide, but his wayfinding skills are slightly below Rotmiller’s. However, perhaps because he has been a plunderer for a long time, he knows good points to plunder.

“I’m not sleepy, so I’ll leave later. Wasn’t that kid the first time?

“Ah yes…”

When I gave permission to go to bed, Visil told his friends the news and got into his sleeping bag.

And…

“Can I sit down?”

“Of course.”

A red-haired woman sat in the chair across from me.

Our team’s chaser who has a more mature atmosphere for his age but has a youthful appearance.

She is Amelia’s older sister.

“What was your name?”

“This is Laura Lane Wales.”

Laura responded in a business-like way as if she was wary of me, the newly appointed team leader.

But again, it felt weird.

‘They look alike, but how is the atmosphere so different?’

The overall features are similar.

However, the older sister’s side gives a much milder and sadder impression.

Even though he knows the past of beheading a popular explorer to save his brother at the age of 12, and even though he is using such a hard tone.

“Are you having any problems?”

“No, I just wanted you to have a hard time too.”

“Ah…”

Laura opened her mouth slightly at my words.

It seems that I didn’t know that I would say such a thing as I longed for my subordinate teammates more manly than anyone else.

“Your brother is also a herder, right?”

“Yes, I am working under the command of Team Leader Martis.”

“Aren’t you worried?”

“…….”

At my question, Laura kept her mouth shut and glanced at me. I was wondering what my intentions were in asking this question.

But did he decide it would be unwise to ignore the new manager’s questions?

“I’m not worried at all. I’m relieved to know that Team Leader Martis will take good care of my brother.”

Laura gave a fake answer.

After this, it seems like I’ve become something.

“It’s okay, so tell me honestly. Sisters? It’s only natural that I’m worried.”

When I persistently asked, Laura had no choice but to reveal

her inner feelings

a little

. …Because I have that much value.”

“Hmm? Please tell me in more detail. I’m the leader of this team, so I need to know the circumstances.”

Laura thought about whether or not to say this for a while, then opened her mouth.

“I’m a chaser, but after years of exploration, I’ve already grown enough to be one person.”

I know this.

It’s a low-grade essence, but I heard that four essences were eaten.

But Laura is still a beater.

For a beater, he is treated well within the team, but no matter how hard he works, he won’t claim his share in the settlement of loot. A position that is tantamount to being a slave in an impossible clan.

“Instead of giving up your share, you asked to take good care of your younger brother

. ” Actually, I was the one who brought her here when my father tried to sell him as a driver.”

“Why?”

“At least in this clan… you don’t have to go through that.”

“You’re kind.”

At that, Laura didn’t answer, and after that, a quiet time ensued.

It wasn’t a particularly awkward time.

I sat still, looked into the fire, sorted out my thoughts, and got up when I felt moderately tired.

“Then, I’ll go to bed now.”

“Yes.”

“I think you’ve been on watch for about an hour now, but wait another hour and then go to the next shift.” ”

Yes? But my shift time is…”

“If I do twice as much by myself, how will I fight tomorrow because I’m tired? I heard that one person can do it.”

“…….”

“So wait an hour, pass it on to the next person, and you go to bed. If you insist, I’ll tell you I ordered it.”

I said that and immediately lay down in my sleeping bag.

Laura started to say something as if she was in trouble, but I sighed at my snoring sound and closed my mouth.

‘Laura Rain Wales… …’ Until I fell asleep

, I kept thinking, How

can I save

this woman

?

I was able to reach the Pilgrim’s Path on the 3rd floor and continued to the clan meeting point through the Twilight Slope, a rocky desert route. Thorn Reed Field. A

hunting

ground that covers some fields west of the Witch’s Forest, the center of the 3rd floor.

4 When I arrived there on the first day, all the teams had already arrived except for us.

“…….”

After a brief eye contact with Amelia, I headed towards the clan leader.

“Did anything happen on the way?

” There was no Everyone is good at it.” “Haha, they may not be as good at fighting as you

, but one of them is a good friend.” Does

this bastard not know what to say?

I laughed and sat down in the empty chair next to him.

Now that we’ve gathered, it’s better to move right away, but I have friends who are new to this, so I’ll talk about it one more time.”

Clan leader Felik Barker naturally briefed us on future plans.

In fact, there was no such thing as a plan.

This reed forest was the base. “I told you in advance, if

you encounter an opponent that seems to be even slightly difficult, contact the other team through the searcher. I’ll drop everything and run to help right away.”

The clan leader, who finished the briefing in an instant, asked if I had any questions for the last time, and I raised my hand. ”

But isn’t this way too inefficient?”

“…Efficiency?”

Clan Jang’s eyes seemed to see all sorts of strange things.

It seems that, as a barbarian, it was strange for me to talk about efficiency… It’s

a little unfair.

Is there any other species that values efficiency as much as barbarians?

“If you have any opinions, tell me. .”

As soon as the clan leader gave permission, I boldly opened my mouth.

“First of all, using a chaser is a problem. Why would you do such a thing?”

“As I said before, planting helpers inside is a great advantage for a surprise attacker. Combat consumables can also be reduced.”

“What are you talking about? I didn’t mean something like that.”

” Ehh?”

So

what does

that mean ?

Only explorers can be killed. And most of the ‘good’ explorers are poor.”

“…what the hell do you mean?”

“It’s about hunting marauders like us. Then we can take all the equipment they looted!”

I seriously explained the plan, and there was a moment of silence.

And then laughter broke out.

“Ha ha ha ha!” “Why

are you laughing?”

. I’ve been living in Noark for over 10 years, but I’ve never heard of

it before.” “So what’s the answer?”

We’re not God’s enforcers, so how can we distinguish between plunderers?” I

knew that would come out.

I grinned and opened my mouth.

“Now listen. I have a method.”
