Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 109 Baby Barbarian (2)

“Keugh.”

“Don’t move yet. The wound is less healed.”

“……Did you save me?”

“Even using the highest level potion.”

Mr. Bear woke up with a complicated expression.

I’m happy that I survived and everything is good, but I feel like I’m a bit confused about something.

Well, you know the map.

How great would the benefit we could have been if he died.

[Thanks, 30 million stones would be—]

30 million stones.

It may not be the exact amount, but since it was Gensia’s estimate, who had plenty of plundering experience, it should be roughly correct.

Mr. Bear, who would be quick to respond to the physiology of the explorers, muttered quietly.

“…lucky.”

I agreed.

In this situation, how many explorers would choose to live rather than wait to die?

“You pay for the finest potions.”

That’s normal.

“How much?”

“Hmm, I think 5 million stones will do.”

“…The highest level potion should be around 1 million stones, right?”

“Is that so? Then I must have been beaten by the merchants.”

At my smirk, Mr. Bear was dazed for a moment, then smiled.

“Certainly, depending on the situation, the price of the goods will be different.”

Like a seasoned level 5 explorer, he seems to have understood exactly what I was saying.

“5 million stones… that’s a reasonable price.”

“Thank you for thinking so.”

“……What the hell are you two talking about?”

you stay still

Because I’m talking to adults now.

“But right now there’s no such thing as big money. Five million stones go back to the city to pay.”

“Hmm.”

“Instead, I’ll leave this item with you. I’d like you to pay for it in the city before returning it.”

Soon after, Mr. Bear took out a skull-shaped bracelet and handed it to me.

“It’s a number item. I just used it once, but it’s still worth more than 5 million stones.”

Afterwards, Mr. Bear briefly explained the item, but even if it wasn’t, I already knew what it was.

No. 7611 ‘The Deceit of the Corpse Master’.

An item that puts the wearer in suspended animation when receiving fatal damage and gives them immunity to damage for a certain period of time.

For reference, it breaks when used 3 times.

‘I wondered how he was alive and it must have been because of this.’

I also asked if it would be okay to give it instead of just 5 million stones, but Mr. Bear drew the line right away saying that he was only entrusting it as collateral and would give it to him later in money.

“Don’t even think about running around with it. Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”

what did you know

When I startled, Mr. Bear smiled.

“Because I’ve heard of a barbarian who goes with the cat people. That lady also said your real name a few times.” ”

What did I do?”

“Don’t worry. I understand the feeling of not wanting to be in the spotlight. You won’t be talking anywhere.”

I’m glad that’s the case.

I don’t know anything else, but it’s a little annoying when it gets into the ears of a Dwalkie or a dwarf.

Because I got out because I received a request.

“So what happened? Is that bitch dead? Did you two take down the Guardians?”

Mr. Bear, who came back from the dead, first finished calculating the cost of his life, then asked about the next situation.

I just nodded my head because it took a long time to explain in detail. Fortunately, Mr. Bear, who knows the etiquette of an explorer, did not ask deeply.

“Bjorn, the son of little Balkan Yandel.

Even if Gencia said so, the part that took care of the guardians together was surprising.

Anyway, after going back to the city and setting up a place and time to meet, and distributing magic stones for the man, all of his injuries were healed.

“Yandel’s son Bjorn and Misha Karlstein. Thank you for saving me. I will not forget today’s grace.”

After saying that, the old man rode the Holadang portal and escaped the rift.

He’s a really cool guy until the very end.

***

After Mr. Bear left, we had time to look at ‘The Deceit of the Corpse Master’ for a while.

2 out of 3 jewels glowed.

This means that there are 2 available counts left.

‘Let’s just wear this and give it back.’

In case you didn’t know, I wore it on my wrist.

I remembered Mr. Bear’s words that you must keep it well and return it, but

…

Anyway, I put this issue aside and took some time to think about it.

‘5 million stones ……’

In exchange for the top-notch potion, he got a decent reward. Well, if you think about 30 million stones, it’s a new step.

‘I’ve become a savage too.’

To be honest, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t greedy at all.

Also, you don’t even need to use your hands.

Whether Mr. Bear is a good guy or a bad guy.

If you just waited quietly, you could get a large amount of money that would be enough to raise the spirit imprint to level 6 at once.

But…

I poured the potion on his wounds.

It wasn’t because of philosophical concerns about what’s different about looters and letting people die for money when there’s a way to save them.

It wasn’t just because of Misha.

“…why why are you looking at me like that? I suddenly feel anxious again.”

“It is nothing.”

It’s my level of ethics, as corrupted as it is corrupt. Anyway.

I decided that it was not something I would do while my future colleague was by my side.

But after everything is over, I feel like this.

‘What if I was alone.’

It’s not just to enjoy the wealth and glory.

In this world, money is power and it is like life.

If it wasn’t for Misha, what choice would I have made in the face of that huge temptation?

‘……I don’t think it’s a problem to worry about already.’

Whether you like it or not, if you keep working as an explorer, there will come a moment when you find out.

So I finished my thoughts and packed my things.

“Huh? Are we not going out?”

Where do you go out?

I have two things to pack.

I took Misha and moved along the ice passage.

It was originally blocked, but it was revealed earlier when the tyrant Tarunbas appeared.

If you move along this passage, you can move to the second chapter that was before.

“Wow… How the hell do you know something like this? Information about rifts is very expensive.”

“Thanks to Ragna.”

“Oh yeah… that woman…….”

When Ragnar gave an excuse to open the secret library, Misha said that too and moved on.

Maybe it’s because he doesn’t usually read books, so he tends to believe it when he says he’s seen it in a book.

Quaang-!

After reaching the second chapter, climb the stairs backwards and smash the third pillar from above.

An item that increases cold resistance only once when taken excessively without taking it while observing the mafia.

「The character ingested a piece of ice imbued with magic.」 「Cold

resistance is

permanently increased by +3」

Well, I’m thinking of giving him the next one.

After passing the first chapter, we came out of the glacier cave. Then we passed the frozen lake and headed to the starting point.

Quaang-!

A small pond near the starting point.

After breaking it with a mace, he dived into the ice water and took out a red ice bead.

“Now eat.”

“Why don’t you tell me what it is first?”

Would I feed you bad things?

But once I explained it roughly, Misha erased her anxiety and chewed and swallowed

it. 「Misha Karlstein took ‘Ice Crystal’.」

「Cold sensitivity is permanently increased by +3.」

In fact, ‘Ice Crystal’ is the signature of Glacier Den. all.

In addition to increasing the sensitivity, it can be eaten up to three times, so when I was growing a frozen tree, I always came from the glacial cave in the beginning.

‘I’ll have to come back from here when it cools down next time.’

It was quite chilly from diving, so I built a bonfire and dried myself.

I put on the clothes I had taken off earlier and put on again.

“Then it’s over now.”

“Oh are you finally leaving?”

what.

I took the blanket out of my bag.

“…Why are you laying down a blanket?”

“I didn’t sleep much last night because I stayed up all night. Let’s take a break and go.”

In fact, there is no place in this labyrinth as safe as a cleared rift.

It’s a bit cold, but…

there’s no better place to get a good night’s sleep.

“Don’t worry. There’s no one else here but us.”

“…That’s right. So, are you going to rest for a while?”

“Yes. It’s cold, so come and see. Let’s just cover up together.”

“…Is that so?”

A cold wind brushing the bridge of the nose.

The warmth of a campfire.

It was night time, and the dark blue Milky Way stretched and shimmered in the sky.

and in it

“Bjorn… sleeping?”

rumbling!

“Are you sleeping?”

We closed our eyes for a while.

***

“You have entered the Crystal Cave on the 1st floor.”

***

Abman Urikfried, a 5th-level explorer.

He opened his eyes in the crystal cave and let out a long breath.

It was then that I was feeling it.

‘……He came back alive.’

Due to an incident, he left the team he had been in for a long time and has been working alone.

And he went through many crises.

Well, this labyrinth was not an easy place to wander around alone.

But never as dangerous as this time.

Should we say that he literally went to the threshold of the underworld and returned alive?

‘……I was lucky.’

I felt it over and over again, but I was lucky.

I met a crazy bitch who came into the rift hiding his identity for the purpose of plundering from the beginning. Anyway.

There was an explorer in the team who was good enough to save himself without any connection.

And he also had the highest quality potion.

How likely is that?

‘I’ll have to make an offering to the temple when I go back.’

No matter how many times I think about it, it was truly a miracle.

After enjoying the afterglow of survival for a while, he changed the topic in his head.

‘By the way, Bjorn the son of Yandel…….’

Bjorn the son of the little Balkan Yandel.

The name has been heard time and time again in the city.

Of course, I had no idea at the time.

It’s just that a strange guy came out?

To him, a 5th-level explorer, there was nothing strange about an explorer with a tinnitus.

But…

‘He’s an interesting guy.’

He was different from the average barbarian.

Although he may seem simple and ignorant, he was skilled, quick-witted, and good at negotiating.

To put it bluntly, it was similar to a barbarian who had been an explorer for a long time.

Pure, but never naive.

So you could have noticed.

The black heart of that woman he didn’t even know.

‘I got my tinnitus in the third month and now I’m already this seasoned… It must be big.’

There was no ill feeling toward him.

No, I was just grateful.

It is the fate of an explorer to pursue money in Amman, but how many people were eaten by money?

Asking for 5 million stones for treatment?

It could be seen that he kept his duty as an explorer just by not taking off all his equipment.

Well, there are many people who have forgotten that duty, so that action seems all the more special.

‘Well, that’s why the young lady follows that.’

Abman recalled the Myoin tribe lady who seemed to be a barbarian’s colleague. The Barbarian gave her the Yeti and the Guardian’s essence to her for nothing.

‘That lady is very lucky too.’

It must be a blessing to have such a colleague.

Huh, if the former team members were half as big as he was, he wouldn’t have been around like this—

‘No, wait……’

At first, it was just a fleeting thought.

However, he changed his expression and seriously considered it.

‘Certainly, if it’s a guy like this, it might not be bad.’

Even though I was going through this incident, I was feeling skeptical about going alone.

‘…Well, I can’t go around alone forever. It seems like there are only two people over there yet.’

Soon Abman made a decision.

The various clans and regular teams that have tried to recruit him in the meantime will collapse if they find out… but

what do they know?

‘If we meet later in the city, we’ll have to talk about it.’

He liked this barbarian very much.
