Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 251
Episode 251 Gnome Tree (5)
There is no point in making excuses anymore.
No matter how cleverly you try to trick him, he won’t let you go.
I’ll try to give you a definitive answer anyway.
‘Nimiral.’
Apart from the discomfort of being forced to make a choice, my head began to hypothesize in detail the options already given to me and their aftermath.
What is really best for me?
“Hey? You’re not talking? Why are you being kind?”
Ha Bobbi.
I thought, ‘I just wanted to do that, but is there a problem?’ I want to enter the ignorant barbarian mode by saying the same lines.
But…
‘If that’s the case, I’m sure I’ll really die.’
I’m weaker than him
Therefore, a combo of swinging a mace saying that there must be something wrong with his head when he persistently expressed doubts is impossible.
I’ll be the one whose head gets cracked.
“Ha, do you see how quickly he became unkind again?”
Lee Baek-ho sighed in frustration and looked at me with blue eyes.
“Why do you keep asking me? I have no intention of trusting you anyway.”
I didn’t bother to hide the sigh that burst out.
But the frustrating thing is that Lee Baek-ho was all the same?
“No, but it’s a little different from hearing it with your mouth?”
yes i know what you mean
That’s why I tried to hide it until the end.
‘Yeah, I’m going to listen to the answer somehow.’
It was time to admit it.
A lot of things have already gone wrong to break this situation without paying anything.
To give up is to give up.
For example…
“They say manners make a man.”
Suspicion is my identity, which I have never confessed even once, even though I have bought it many times.
“huh?”
Lee Baek-ho puts on a puzzled expression at the sudden change of attitude.
There was nothing to take because I had made up my mind.
“Hey, isn’t it polite to pretend you don’t know and leave?”
“What? Really? Were you really a player?”
As soon as I heard the truth through my mouth, Baekho Lee’s eyes shone.
‘Yes, you must have been really curious.’
A tantrum strikes.
Will he even know?
That this is the first time I’ve used Bjorn Yandel’s body to speak like this.
‘Still, I feel refreshed somewhere.’
I glared at him, feeling a strange sense of liberation and resentment at the same time.
But has this kid’s empathy level gone down?
“Wow, by the way, you saw that movie!”
Even in the midst of this, he focuses only on the topics he is interested in and wants to talk about.
Doesn’t he really have no social skills?
“…Apology should come first.”
A bizarre scene where barbarians discuss social common sense and morality with humans.
“Oh, I’m sorry. But seeing that movie, I suddenly didn’t feel like a stranger. It’s a movie I really like.”
Lee Baek-ho spat out a soulless apology and cautiously asked one more question.
“…By the way, have you seen the second part?”
What the hell are you doing bastard?
Isn’t this enough to make almost barbarians cry?
“……I saw it.”
Once you have answered
He just chews and never knows when he’ll switch his stance again—
“But why are you talking badly to me?”
huh?
“No, why are you talking flatteringly? Don’t you know mutual respect? Do the same players not kill each other even if they put a knife in their belly?”
Lee Baek-ho suddenly started expressing his intention to live with a straight face as if he was so upset.
I’m going to lose my mind
“……Because I’m not used to respect.”
“Ah, you were a Westerner!”
That’s how it can be interpreted.
I meant it with Barbarians in mind.
“Then let’s talk about each other. Okay?”
Lee Baek-ho asked for a handshake with a bright smile as if he had never done that.
At first glance, he looks like a manic-depressive patient, but…
‘I’m sober.’
Rather, it made my head clear.
I didn’t know that maybe this was his narration.
Taking the initiative based on the power you have, leaving your soul out and leaving no time to think.
‘Could it be that you talked about the second movie just to find out when I came, to see if I’m from the East?’
Maybe it’s just a simple leap.
But you’d better be careful.
‘Let’s hide that it’s Lee Han-soo.’
In fact, this part was a concern until the end.
I wondered if it would be better to reveal that as a player anyway and be friendly with him.
However, one reason put that decision on hold.
[Do you think the cat noticed it to some extent? After all, isn’t it better to kill it?]
Earlier, it was just simple advice.
It was close to that kind of feeling of being pampered by someone you just happened to be passing by.
The moment I reveal that I am Lee Han-soo.
This matter will now be his business.
The guy is Lee Han-soo.
No, because I cared for the few ‘Korean players’ in this strange world.
“But I’m a player…”
“Oh, I’m really worried! I don’t tell anyone. Do I look like someone who doesn’t have that much manners?”
The word ‘yes’ came to the end of my throat, but I endured it.
The more I talk, the more I know.
Lee Baek-ho is like a ball that doesn’t know where it will bounce.
So, never get involved.
At least until I feel confident that I can control him.
“Anyway, I’m really glad you answered honestly.”
“……?”
“I heard you became a nobleman this time? The other time I met you, I tried to kill any real NPCs before they joined the royal family.”
My heart skipped a beat at the words he spat out as if it was nothing.
“……what?”
“Why are you surprised? I’m not just enjoying PKing. Well, it’s fine if it’s just the NPCs who were born with destiny. They’re a bit of a headache for me too.”
Words that I can’t understand at all.
I was a little curious and asked indirectly, but Lee Baek-ho just drew a line around it, saying that there was such a thing.
Is it because it’s Bjorn Yandel from the West?
If it was Korean Lee Han-soo, I think he would have answered.
“Oh, and I’ll give you one more piece of advice just in case. It’s funny to say this to someone who’s already a nobleman, but don’t get too involved with the royal family.”
“The reason is?”
“The royal family is not interested in opening the ‘gate of the abyss’. No, they are serious about interfering with it.
from the royal family? why?
It is said in the world that there is a key to save this world in the deepest part of the labyrinth.
There were as many things I wanted to ask as there were questions.
However, no matter what I asked, Lee Baek-ho only said this with an annoyed face.
“You know what?”
If you feel like this, I don’t think you’ll answer even if you ask who the GM is.
Therefore, when you quench your appetite with regret.
“So you’re the one too?”
“Is it that one?”
“You know, kids who just want to live here. Seeing the NPC risking their lives at that time, I thought it must be that way, but looking at the growth rate, I wonder if that’s the case. Which one is it?”
“What if you want to stay?”
“What should I do? There are bastards like that.
I quietly stared into Lee Baek-ho’s eyes.
It was not a particularly meaningful act.
I couldn’t tell what those blue eyes were thinking.
‘It doesn’t seem like you’re just scooping it, but……’
After a moment of worry, he opened his mouth.
“I don’t know.”
It was the most honest answer I could give.
“At first, the goal was to go back, but now I wonder if I have to risk my life to go that far.”
“Because of that enemy?”
“…….”
I didn’t answer.
But would that have been enough?
“It’s like seeing the old me.”
Lee Baek-ho said with a smile.
“I’m telling you because I think there’s still a chance, but don’t expect too much from NPCs. You’ll definitely regret it.”
Feeling the cold emotion hidden in the laughing voice, I suddenly had this question.
What really happened to him?
What the hell did he go through in this world to become a monster that was so broken and only wanted a ‘return’?
It was unknown to me now.
“Then, since I’ve solved all my questions, can I go now?”
Soon, Lee Baek-ho turned his back as if he had finished his business. And the wall that had been repaired by himself was knocked down with a single gesture.
No, can you see that I broke it?
Booth Susut-
The remnants of the wall that become dust and scatter.
Lee Baek-ho beckoned him once more, and even that dust was blown away by the wind.
‘……I’m glad I didn’t use ignorance mode.’
I was dizzy at the thought that it might have been my head turning to dust.
When I was watching Lee Baek-ho leave like that.
“Oh right.”
Lee Baek-ho turned his head and looked at me.
And he gave me the last words he couldn’t say.
“By the way, the next time we meet, we’re strangers?”
“What does that mean?”
“If you happen to meet by chance, don’t pretend to be friendly.”
“…….”
“Because I don’t build affection in this world.”
Baby.
to settle.
***
After Lee Baek-ho left, he left the cave without looking back and returned to his lodgings.
and the next morning.
“Ugh Mister… I’m going to die…”
I spent the morning resting with the trio who were suffering from hangovers.
“Bjorn……. But when did you come in? Did you do well with what you were going to do yesterday?”
By the way, Misha probably forgot everything about last night and didn’t remember me coming to the dorm.
I was rather fortunate.
[Is it because I couldn’t give birth to a barbarian?]
If I had known you said this to me yesterday, it would have been awkward to talk face to face.
“If you’ve finished all the requests, you can play without worrying about anything from today, right?”
“Of course.”
Just in case, we planned a schedule of 2 nights and 3 days, but on the first day, all our business at Noark was over.
So the rest of the time is free.
“Oh oh! I’m going to play!!” In the end, the second day
was
spent playing together until late at
night .
I said you shouldn’t move like that!!”
It happened at the fishing spot.
I was fishing with the lights on at night, but Einar was bitten by a fish and had a seizure and the boat capsized.
The problem was that no one was able to swim.
Well, how many kids have been to such a deep place
?
But thanks to you, I learned one thing.
In the past, when I fell into the water in ‘Glacier Cave’, I thought I would sink because of my armor, but it wasn’t.
Barbarians can’t swim.
It’s not a realm of skill, but when you fall into water, you have no other option than to sink It’s because I don’t have it.
Well, when I used the gigantic (transcendence) mode, my head came out and I was able to ask for help.
‘I’ll have to dig around to see if there’s a place where I can learn to swim when I get back. Einar and I don’t know, but these guys should know how to do it. ‘
Anyway, the car on the 2nd day passed and the next day. After drinking all night and then falling asleep
, we woke up at noon and got into the carriage on the way back home
.
are you. He doesn’t drink much at home…”
“Oh! Misha! There’s a horse running there!”
It takes a few hours for the carriage to move while looking at the natural scenery that is hard to find in the city.
Within a few hours, we arrived at the southwest exit and returned the whistle we received when entering and exiting.
‘Come to think of it, there was this.’
The moment you blow it anytime, anywhere, that whistle that one of the pride of the Gnome Tree is that the vigilantes come running in. I wonder
what it would have been like if I had blown this in Baek-ho Lee, but nothing would have changed much. I don’t
think he would have given me time
to do that . Tell me if you’re hungry.”
When we got home in the evening, we each went back to our rooms to rest, and the next day was no different.
A time of peaceful rest.
This time passed by like a lightning bolt, as always.
And…
“For a while [22:10] Two hours
left until
midnight when
the labyrinth opens.
I finished preparing to go out and headed to the dimension plaza
.
According to rumors, the royal family is building an army.
Since one hit was right, this time they’re going to fight back in the labyrinth and pay it back?
It’s not known how large it is.
That’s right, this time, like the previous subjugation, an official letter requesting cooperation from the clan was not sent. Because it’s the shape.
I’m trying to deal with it thoroughly with the power of the royal family
.
In fact, I can see explorers heading to the plaza to check trends like me here and there.
Everyone is curious.
The true potential of the royal family, which has only been talked about but no one has ever seen properly.
“Oh Bjorn! Are you going to the plaza too?”
“I was really nervous.”
I saw some familiar faces along the way, so we started talking together.
And how long had passed.
“…I didn’t expect this.”
All the explorers, including me “I don’t think there’s anyone there.”
It’s not like there’s no one.
Guards from the National Security Agency are occupying the plaza and preventing explorers from entering.
But that’s all.
“The army?”
Everywhere you look, there are rumors .
‘s army is nowhere to be seen. ”
Isn’t it here yet?”
The labyrinth will open in 5 minutes. If it’s still not there, it’s probably true that there was no army.”
“You’re losing steam. It was a rumor that we were going to fight.”
The explorers gathered near the square left their seats one by one, not hiding their disappointment.
This is the same with the explorers we met while coming here.
“Yandel, aren’t you going?
” I’ll go see it.”
“Hmm, then I’ll go first.”
I thought just in case, and waited until the portal opened and closed after some time. To tell you the result
, there
really were no troops.
I was full
of
questions, but nothing would change just because
I was
here
.
The
ground
shook
.
_
_ It was different.
There was no change in expression, so they were talking with each other with a face that felt more spleen. As
if something
had finally begun .
Soon, I turned my gaze and looked down at the ground.
For some reason, I felt like I knew where the royal family was.
Even if I couldn’t see it in front of my eyes right now.
‘Theft.’
The war has already begun.
