Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 262

Episode 262 Bug (1)

When I said that I was going to enter the labyrinth, Raven quietly asked me.

“Does Mr. Yandel believe the rumors?”

Believing and sleeping, I know the rumor is true.

The outside world is fine, and Noark’s forces have all left there.

But…

“I don’t completely believe it, but I think there’s a good chance.”

Since the source of that information was the demon community, it couldn’t be shown to be too sure.

Therefore I said

When I went to Bifron in the past, I felt a sense of incongruity when I saw the guards looking inside the walls.

“I felt something strange then, but if the rumors are true, that explains it.”

“Hmm, actually, it’s not like I didn’t have doubts about that part either. The Mage Tower doesn’t have any windows, right?”

The magic tower is a high-rise building that rises even higher than the castle walls.

And the royal family, instead of permitting the building, demanded that no windows be made. The superficial reason is that you can’t let the magic tower overlook the royal palace.

“What? Wait… So you’re saying it’s really fine outside?”

“It’s still just a story of possibilities.”

Raven cut a line at Mr. Bear’s fuss. and looked at me

He didn’t say anything, but it was easy to understand what he meant.

Are you really going to enter the labyrinth believing only in the possibilities?

I put the prepared answer into my mouth.

“To be honest, I don’t care if the rumors are true or not.”

“Why?”

“Because it seems to be an unmistakable fact that the royal family occupied Noark Castle.”

What does it matter if they’re out there or still hiding underground? The army is already occupying Noark’s Fortress, where the portal is located.

It means that there is no need to worry about meeting the Noarks inside.

“You have the same thoughts as me. Okay. I’m in favor.”

Raven was also curious about my opinion, but actually cast a vote of agreement, as if it was the same as seeing the present as an opportunity.

Voting time started so naturally.

“Well, if you two say so, it must be so. I will follow.”

“Ooh, are we finally entering the labyrinth again!”

Not only Mr. Bear and Einar, who were excited, but also Misha and Erwen agreed to the labyrinth schedule.

Then it’s time to move on to the next step.

“So what are you going to do about the number of people? If you include Erwen, there are now six of us.”

“We’ll split into three groups and meet on the second floor.”

“Hmm, then it will take quite a while on the 4th floor, right?”

At Raven’s question, Erwen became contemplative and quickly apologized.

“I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”

“But…”

But what the but.

I stepped out before it got even more awkward.

“Still, it won’t take as long as I thought. Unlike me, Erwen is a proper guide. Maybe the overall time will be similar.”

“Oh, then no problem.”

This ends the story about Erwen.

After that, we talked about future exploration plans, and a decision was made unanimously.

“Yeah, I don’t think we’re ready yet…”

“Because we’ve gotten a lot stronger now.”

“Hehe, I’ll have to prepare soon. It must be a long time since I’ve been there.”

The target is the 6th floor.

***

Even after the clan meeting, a busy life continued.

It was a day in earnest to free up the money that had been stagnant.

“Everyone, if there’s equipment or stuff you want to buy, buy it now. Einar, talk to me before you buy anything.”

“Wow… I’ve heard of it, but it’s this bad. 700,000 stones of lithium equipment…”

Grocery and essential items for daily life have relatively skyrocketed in price, while exploration-related and Equipment consumables literally plummeted.

This is because 70% of the demand floor has flown away.

As most of the explorers died, related items left in the city became bad stock.

‘But maybe now is the lowest point.’

In addition to the money collected so far, even the money received from the royal family.

I’ve been keeping that much money until now because the value goes up even if I stay still, but now it’s time to solve it.

After the labyrinth is normalized, it will gradually rise.

“This is the recent transaction history requested by the baron.”

“Ah, thank you. I’ll take a quick look and return it.”

In fact, if you look at the market price of the central exchange recently, there is almost no change. Even just a few days ago, it was crashing again and again.

There are kids like me who are slowly making money.

Sellers’ expectations that the market will soon recover will also have some effect.

‘If this state had been maintained for a few more months, it might have been possible to graduate from the exchange system.’

Even though I felt a bit disappointed, I went to the exchange every day with my teammates and repeated rational shopping.

And I bought a total of three items.

「The character is wearing a large adamantium battle shield.」

「Overall item level rises by +1750.」

First of all, the shield that was smashed in the last battle.

Iwangsa newly adjusted it to seaweed with a 5-step material.

It was unbelievably cheap.

Some of them weren’t made to order, but they were cheaper than the 4th level material, the Moonlight Stone Shield.

“The character is No. 8820 Iron Wall is worn.」

「Overall item level rises by +310.」

The second item was steel boots.

It is an item that doubles physical resistance and exorcism for 3 seconds when used, and synergizes well with my shield Baba.

Oh, of course, it doesn’t mean that it’s a graduation item.

There are much better boots among the top numbers.

‘If these boots are good enough for the second half.’

The last item purchased was material.

It’s name is ‘Soul of the Dead’.

It was the most expensive among the items purchased as a material used to receive the 7th level of the spirit imprint.

It is also used as an ingredient in alchemy and magic.

It’s the same as the price has collapsed, but the width has to be relatively small.

But…

‘because I don’t know when I’ll be able to get it.’

Cost is not an issue, these materials are harder to obtain than equipment.

Because the material itself is small.

For that reason, I decided to buy it as soon as I saw it.

‘It’s a hundred times better to pay for cancer than to buy it yourself.’

‘Soul of the Dead’ is an item that drops with a certain probability when hunting with ‘Distortion’ on a Lich, a 4th grade monster.

That means you don’t know how long it will take to get it yourself.

With that time, you can do more.

“Bjorn then I’ll go to the training ground!!”

Anyway, when it was time to leave the exchange, Einar ran to the training ground today.

It seems that I really liked the two number items I bought this time.

“What about you, Misha?”

“I have to go home. I have to prepare dinner.”

“Then you’ll have to bring Abman.”

“Huh? You’re not going home?”

“I’m going to stop by the Holy Land for a while today. Maybe I won’t be able to come in today.”

At my words, Misha flinched for a moment and then stared at me.

“If it’s a holy place…?”

Oh, it was because of this keyword.

I hurriedly added an additional explanation.

“Didn’t you buy the ingredients this time? I’m thinking of going to get the spirit imprint.

” I see Yes, that’s right…….”

After that day, there were occasional awkward situations like this. We decided to do something we hadn’t seen before, but how could that be easy?

“Then, have a good trip. I’ll be taking good care of the kids.”

“Yes… please.”

After that, I parted ways with Misha and boarded the carriage heading towards the Holy Land. Over there, I saw Misha waiting in a chair to see if the carriage was still there. ”

.. …..”

“…….”

When our eyes met, Misha hurriedly averted her gaze, then looked at me again and stiffly waved her hand

.

I nodded my head awkwardly and pulled the curtains on the carriage. I wondered what this was doing later, and a sense of self-doubt came flooding in… But still, this has improved a

lot. Isn’t

there a saying that time is medicine?

If you pretend not to, then one day it will really happen.

“Then let’s go.”

Soon the carriage started moving and left the platform, and after a bit of a nap, we arrived at our destination.

The platform on the outskirts of District 7, the closest to the Holy Land.

Cross the gate and go through the forest road. After walking all the way, a camp of barbarians appeared.

“It’s been a while. Dalian?”

First of all, I opened the tent of the tribal chief and went in and

exchanged greetings.

I was a little worried because the goblin kid was talking about an oracle at the round table, but luckily it doesn’t seem to have reached the tribal chief’s ears. Well,

that’s only a matter of time.

“I’ve come to see the shaman.

” Then the timing is bad. I can’t meet a shaman right now.”

“Why?”

“He’s currently undergoing a ‘frenzy’.”

“A frenzy…?”

A proper noun I’ve never heard of even in the game.

“Are you sure you don’t know? ”

As I tilted my head, the chief’s eyes narrowed.

There was no major problem.

If it had been in the past, it would have been common sense, but he would have flinched, wondering if I was the only one who didn’t know… ”

I forgot .”

.The

absence of common sense is not a strange part for a barbarian.

“I see.”

As expected, the tribal chief was easily convinced and briefly explained what ‘sorcery’ was

. It is.”

“Then, how long do we have to wait?”

“I started the ceremony at the beginning of the month, so we should be able to meet next month.”

Hmm, next month…

“I understand. Then I’ll come back then.”

I put my regret behind me and turned around.

***

It was late in the evening when I started to see drunk people all over the street.

We gathered at Mr. Bear’s pub.

Oh, by the way, we hung up a closed sign today, so we were the only ones in the shop. Mrs. Gom was healthy enough to work at a bar even though she was full-term ,

but now her due date is really near.

“Is it really okay? Even if you’re not by my side.”

“I’m worried about going home for the day, but is there anything special? I will have a baby soon, so I have to work harder. This is something my wife agreed with, so don’t worry about it.”

“In that case.”

It was half empty, so I didn’t say anything more.

To be honest, if Mr. Bear said he was going to leave now, it was the one who was in

trouble .

After a quick meal at Mr. Uncle’s pub, Raven divided them into groups of three and cast a solidarity magic. The

team distribution was simple.

Me, Mr. Bear and Raven are Team A.

Erwen Mischa Einar is Team B.

Anyway, we move separately only on the 1st floor and 2 It wouldn’t mean much since we’d meet on the floor.

“It’s about time, so let’s leave.”

“Oh, wait.”

As soon as we finished our preparations and were about to head to the dimension plaza, Raven stopped us.

Then, somewhere with a shy expression, in subspace He pulled out a few small items,

“That… it’s a clan now, right? I’ve had some spare time lately, so I made a crest.” It

was an emblem.

Isn’t that right?

If you’re an explorer with a clan, you always wear it on your armor

. So I borrowed Mr. Yandel’s nickname and made it into a giant…” ”

But this isn’t a giant, it looks like an ogre?”

“Oh, if you don’t like it, give it to me!”

“I didn’t say no. When I come back tomorrow, I’ll officially register it as a clan crest in the guild.”

Raven’s expression brightened when I even said that I would register it as a clan crest for a

while

. I’ll put it on.”

Soon after, Raven personally attached the emblem to his teammates’ equipment with magic.

After attaching it, it looked cool.

Do you think you’ve become a really good explorer?

“Thank you, Raven. I didn’t say anything, but they took care of things like this.”

“…… First of all, they’re my clan.”

“That’s what I’m thankful for

.” It’s okay and I’m going to go soon. It’s going to be late like this.”

It’s embarrassing.

After that, after we finished installing the emblem, we hurriedly headed to the dimension plaza. There were quite a few people around to watch. Those who were

looking this way from far away from the plaza.

“Hey there, Bjorn Yandel . Did you come?”

“Are you going to join again after going through that?”

“I heard you created a clan, so the number is six.” “

But what is that sentence? Ogre?”

“Perhaps it is. An ogre.”

The area around the plaza was crowded with more people than expected, but there were only a few people waiting to enter.

At most, about

3 to 400 people?

‘If all the other plazas are in this state, the upper floors must be almost empty, right?’

I spent the rest of the time checking the exploration plan for the last time, and soon a light burst from the center of the square and a portal opened.

「I entered the crystal cave on the 1st floor.」

This time, there were quite a lot of things to do in the labyrinth.
