Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 659
Chapter 659: Outsider (3)
Of course, Lee Baek-ho also has a team…
And I’m quite familiar with his team…
That’s because Misha was once a member of that team before I came back…
“Ah! Baron Yandel! By the way, Miss Karlstein, how are you? He was such a good prisoner! Even though it was a bit chilly for us!”
Former Noark gatekeeper Rek Aures·
He is in the same tank position as me, and besides meeting him once in the past, we also have a relationship in our own way·
He is the one who consumed the ‘Deep Sea Giant’ essence that Lee Baek-ho received from me when he was disguised as Lehen Schuitz·
And· ···
‘Doomologist·’
Velvev Ruingenes·
The first wizard to join Baekho Lee’s team and the person I must pay back someday· Quack-
I
was wondering if he might do something rash, so I grabbed Erwen’s wrist and felt a violent tremor·
That’s right . It has to be that way…
“That person… my sister…”
Erwen’s older sister said Daria is dead…
While blocking the magic that the Annihilator shot to kill Erwen…
“It’s not the time yet… Don’t act rashly… ”
He soon muttered briefly and released the hand he was holding. After a moment, Erwen took a step back…
Even after seeing a person who was no different from the enemy of the enemy, he somehow regained his senses…
“Hmm, that’s impressive… Meanwhile. “I can’t believe he could lose his light this much…”
The Doomologist who was watching Erwen from afar mutters something difficult to understand…
“Is it because there is someone with a greater destiny around?”
Muttering something that feels unpleasant, as if there is a cultist in front of him… As
I move my gaze to the side, I see two figures…
‘Looking at my facial expressions, I think that guy over there is the archer Misha was talking about…’
The remaining one is wearing a robe. His entire body is wrapped tightly…
Looking at his physique, he seems to be a man…
Anyway, he seems to be the new colleague Lee Baek-ho mentioned…
He shouldn’t be known to the outside world yet…
‘There is a high possibility that he is a healer based on the combination. It seems the same, but…
Of course, it’s not something to worry about right now…
Because he seems to have come to his senses at the same time…
“Keuhumhum! long time no see! Baron Yandel!”
For some reason, the awkward-sounding word ‘Baron’ made me feel like thorns were going to pop out of my ears, but I still understand…
This isn’t a place just the two of us right now…
The reason I stayed still in the first place was because I needed some time to sort out the situation in my head. I guess…
However, the reaction of his colleagues was a bit impressive…
“…Baekho, did you eat something wrong?”
From the gatekeeper who asked bluntly to the archer who looked genuinely surprised…
“Could you have used that tone…?”
If you’ve always lived with such a carefree attitude, would you react like this just because you used a bit of an honorific word? It’s
almost absurd, but when you think back to that guy’s old self, you can understand it
. Or maybe you could even call it his old self?
“Oh, and you too, it’s been a while! So, your name… is Emily Raines now?”
“····”
“But it’s so strange… Why are all my colleagues, including Meowth and you, going to Baron Yandel’s side? “If you just look at it, are you saying there is no commercial morality?”
It’s a shame that there is no morals…
Misha was my colleague in the first place… It
turned out that Amelia
had not joined as a colleague, but had infiltrated as a spy for a mission
. As I was doing this, Bersil advised me in a quiet voice.
But did I hear that again on that street?
“Huh? You know me? “I think this is your first meeting?”
“···If it’s your first time, it’s true…”
“But why do you say such bad things?”
“····”
“Hey tsk… This is why prejudice is so scary… Even though I’ve never seen anything before, I pretend to know everything…”
Despite Lee Baek-ho’s rude words, Bersil didn’t give any reply and averted his eyes.
Just by looking at him, he looks like he’s very scared…
“What, I’m going to kill you?” Lighten up your expression—“
“Up to that point…”
As the leader of a group, I couldn’t just sit back and watch, so I interrupted and intervened. I
was confused by the sudden meeting, but I had to hurry and check first.
“Lee Baek-ho…”
“What you said?” “Do it…”
“Are you following us?”
What was Baekho Lee’s intention? This
was the first thing we had to check as we were being pushed out both in number and quality. If we were not
careful, we might end up regretting not bringing all our clan members with us.
“Aren’t you overly self-conscious?”
“Then it’s just a coincidence?”
“Yes, I was very surprised. Why is Baron Yandel here? “In a dark place like this, with no witnesses or anyone to help?”
“····”
I got a little goosebumps at the backstory that didn’t sound like a joke, but in the end, it was all just a detail to take the lead in the conversation with me. I
completely ignored it and made a judgment based only on the information given. To be
honest, looking at the situation, it really was. It seems highly likely that it was a coincidence…
So, the second question at this point…
“And what about you? “Why did you come to this dark place?”
Why did this guy come down here?
Lee Baek-ho’s answer was something I couldn’t even imagine…
“I’m going to the convenience store…”
Uh…
“What?”
“ah! That’s right, Baron Yandel doesn’t know what a convenience store is! mistake! mistake!”
Is this guy really crazy?
As I was looking at him with a straight face, Lee Baek-ho continued speaking with an embarrassed expression.
“It’s just a joke… I guess it’s the same reason, right?”
“If it’s the same reason…”
“Huh? “Aren’t you here to go out too, Baron?”
Yes, I guess that’s why you came too…
“But I’m a little curious… Why is our baron suddenly trying to go out? Can you just tell me? “I’ll just keep it known, okay?”
Is it because it’s not a place where it’s just the two of us?
Conversation with this guy feels especially more tiring today…
This guy usually lives as he wants without worrying about what others think, but I’m in a position where I can’t do that…
“The joke ends here… If you really met by chance, pass by first…
” Um… of course…”
Soon, Lee Baek-ho led his colleagues away from the door and entered Noark first towards the side door with his colleagues…
And…
“But will it be him?”
As he passed by, he asked me as if he was throwing a
question at me. I couldn’t even tell who he was talking about, let alone what he meant, so I chose to remain silent for a while, and Lee Baek-ho chuckled.
“What? I guess today was your first time? Somehow…”
…Somehow?
Even though I felt a little uncomfortable about what he said, I didn’t want to have any more conversations with him.
“… Just hurry up and get out of here…”
“Okay, then, have fun!”
···Is there a more obnoxious person in the world?
***
Lee Baek-ho didn’t warn me not to follow him or do anything like that. He
just kept going in a straight line as if it didn’t matter. Looking at this, I was able to be sure that the content written in the letter he had previously written in Korean was not a lie.
To be honest, I thought it was a bit long…
So I asked Amelia to look into
it separately and double checked… ‘Amelia also said that the right place was a plaza…’
In fact, the point where Lee Baek-ho’s team, which was moving quickly, stopped was also at that point…
“Those guys. It stopped…”
Noark Square, once crowded with looters,
flashes!
Before long, a short flash of light appears, and Amelia and Erwen miss their presence at the same time…
“… They disappeared…”
So we also hurried to the square, and Erwen, who was quickly scanning the empty square, looked at Bersil and asked,
“Just now. .··It was magic, right?”
“Yes, it is a multi-teleportation spell. Looking at the reverberation of the magic power, I think it has activated a magic circle hidden below here in the square…” “Don’t worry…
I know the spell to activate the magic circle…”
“ yes? “You know?”
How?
I smiled awkwardly as I looked at Bersil with that look in his eyes.
“He’s a noble, right? There’s a way to find out everything.”
“Ah…”
You can’t honestly say that you heard that from Lee Baek-ho, right?
“Okay then, let’s begin…”
I soon stood in the middle of the square and gathered my colleagues around me in preparation for any unexpected situation…
And then I slowly recited the idiom…
In fact, it was a very poetic content for an idiom, so I was a bit embarrassed to say it alone…
What can I do?
I can only assume that the sensibilities of ancient wizards were like this…
“My body is made of a sword. My blood is steel and my heart is glass…”
Of course, there is still a question
. It is a magic spell, but why does a sword appear?
It was completely incomprehensible, but he continued chanting clearly…
and…
“… that body is definitely made of a sword…”
The moment he risked his embarrassment and completely recited the starter…
flash -!
There was no sound or light bursting out…
“···?”
“···?”
My colleagues looked at me with eyes full of questions.
In fact, I was the one who was most confused.
‘Why is nothing happening?’
It didn’t take that long to properly understand the situation I was in…
or rather, I realized it…
[What? I guess today was your first time? [Somehow…]
What is Lee Baek-ho’s backstory that I didn’t hear earlier…
‘Somehow he didn’t get angry…’… I
was tricked…
***
The moment I realized that I had been tricked, passionate anger welled up from deep in my heart…
However , There was nothing I could do to get angry…
“Uh… I guess there was some wrong information! “It could be!”
“···Don’t blame yourself too much· Because nobles don’t always get the right information·” “
····”
Anyway, thanks to the comfort of my colleagues·
I quickly came to my senses and looked for a way·
“Bersil, perhaps you—· ”
“It’s impossible right now… These ancient magic circles require numerous conditions to activate…”
“How long do you think it will take?”
“······I don’t have any knowledge in this area, so I don’t know at all· I don’t even know how long it will take·”
This damn bastard Baekho Lee·
[But will it be him?]
As I mentioned earlier, I now know who the target of my words was·
Unfortunately, it seems that Versil also noticed it…
“Today is full of things that make me angry…”
Although he said he was angry, his voice was somewhat more filled with understanding than resignation.
I could understand his feelings.
Realistically, a scholar of destruction. Like, there are only a few people in an era who can become top level wizards…
‘… I guess it’s something I can overcome on my own…’
If you think about it, it was the same with Rotmiller…
These kinds of feelings are something you will eventually overcome on your own, no matter what others say to you. There is no other way…
“Can I take a look by myself?”
“Okay… we’ll stay far away…”
“Yes… thank you…”
Afterwards, at Bersil’s request, we left the place and took a leisurely walk around Noark during the remaining time.
Actually, it was Bersil who was having a hard time. It wasn’t just that…
In fact, it was worse…
“…Erwen…”
“Yes?”
“Are you okay?”
“···Yes, it’s okay· It’s just not the right time, right? “Not yet…”
Why is it that even though I try to smile and say it, I don’t feel reassured at all?
Amelia, who was silently walking next to me as if she was thinking the same thing inside, brings up a new topic.
“Anyway, Yandel, I’ve been curious about this for a while… It’s a convenience store.” “What is it?”
“Oh, that…?”
I knew that it was my intention to change the mood, so I tried to answer in a bright voice…
And
how much time had
passed
? It was difficult to understand the sentiment that it felt like an outing while walking through a dark underground city with nothing to see, but…
“If you think about it, it was here that I reunited with you…”
“That’s right… Do you know how surprised I was at that time?”
“…I’m sorry… I was too distracted at the time…”
“I don’t mean to blame you, so I have nothing to apologize for…”
Anyway, when we returned to the square after finishing our unexpected walk, Bersil was actively pressing his feet on the floor and doing some research. “
How about taking a break for a while? You can clear your schedule in advance and stay for a few more days…”
“Ah… yes…”
“… have you found out anything?”
When I asked carefully, Bersil remained silent for a long time and then answered in a voice like an ant crawling…
“…there is…”
“Oh, that’s a good thing…” ”
For me, even if you give me a few years, I won’t find out anything. Actually…”
Ah… I
was at a loss for words for a moment, but listening to what he continued, it didn’t seem like my mentality had gone that far…
“Actually, it’s natural… I’ve never studied this kind of thing properly, and it was a fight on a fake day. “Because I learned magic…”
Listening to the story, it’s hard to call it a rationalization… It
seems more appropriate to say that I just accepted reality…
“So, I’m just giving up… Please don’t say I don’t have grit…”
“I didn’t intend to do that from the beginning… ”
“It’s really embarrassing, but what can I do? I’m sorry. I think I’ll need a much more advanced and professional wizard than me to investigate further…” He’s a
professional wizard…
“Is there anyone you can recommend? ”
“There is one person… He might be able to shorten the time even more than the Doomologist…”
“Better than the Doomologist? Who is that?”
When he tilted his head and asked again, the name of a completely unexpected person came out of Bersil’s mouth.
“Jurben Havellion.”
Jurben Havellion.
“He is the head of a school with the nickname Magic Engineer and the idol of manufacturing wizards. It’s just one person…”
Bersil’s explanation was correct, but if you look closely, one of the most important explanations was missing…
Jurven Havellion…
GM of ‘Ghostbusters’, a community of evil spirits…
‘… It wouldn’t be a bad idea to meet him once at this opportunity. I won’t…
