Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 265

Episode 265 Bug (4)

“Sorry for wasting your time.”

Once I came back, I apologized briefly.

Well, they’ve never met a Dwalkie.

I thought it was only natural to apologize because I had taken the exploration time for personal reasons.

Of course, the reaction of colleagues was generous.

“What do you have to be sorry for? What do you see us as?”

“Yeah Raven is right. He cares about all the weird stuff. Maybe we could be in that friend’s situation someday.”

Uh, I think it would be better not to say that…….

As I was thinking about that, Raven spoke to Mr. Bear on my behalf.

“…Mr. Urijkfried is cheating, so please don’t say such a thing?”

“Raven, you don’t believe in superstition.”

“I am an explorer now.”

“Oh, yes.”

Mr. Bear giggled and the heavy atmosphere became lighter.

‘Did you mean to make a joke?’

“What are you looking at?”

‘……I guess not.’

Looking at Raven’s cheeky eyes, I smiled. And then, slowly, we got into the main topic.

“Now, if you’ve rested enough, let’s go see the island.”

It’s time to start exploring.

***

Island of Beginning Laemia.

Whichever route you take on the 5th floor, the first island you arrive at. However, it is not only because of this symbolism that Laemia is called the island of beginnings.

There are basic materials for exploring the 6th floor here.

Well, at least in principle.

“It’s already been stolen.”

A mountain nestled in the center of the island.

Climbing to the summit, we looked around with empty eyes.

Originally, special trees grow here.

It has the hardness of a level 3 metal and is light, so it floats well in water.

But…

“Well, no matter how fast a tree grows, it won’t grow in one month.”

When we reached the summit, only thousands of stumps greeted us. Well, it’s not that there weren’t any trees that had grown to a certain extent, but…

“I can’t use most of them.”

“Still, it’s not like there isn’t a tree that’s grown enough to use. Let’s take this one.”

Soon we took out the ax we had prepared.

And only the trees with the size that can be processed into materials were selected, cut down, and packed into the subspace one by one.

Did it take about 30 minutes?

“If I do well, I’ll be able to take this much with me next month.”

“Yes. Even then, like this time, if no one is there.”

It would have been nice if the 6th floor was also reset every month.

It is disappointing in many ways.

No matter what you do on the 1st to 5th floors, everything will be reset when the labyrinth opens next month, but not from the 6th floor.

Here, unique time continues continuously.

As if there were marks carved on that big rock over there that could not be erased.

“Wow, something is written on the rock! It looks like writing… What is it written on?”

“Didn’t you go to the Holy Land every day to learn how to read?”

“Haha, I gave up on that a long time ago!”

Before I could sigh at Einar’s unnecessarily pleasant appearance, I approached the rock and read the written words.

Most of it was just bullshit.

Let someone go and make a lot of money. Who is it? I like it a lot, etc.

‘It’s the same as people graffiti here.’

He smiled and looked away.

The vast sea spread out below.

There were not many trees, but the island, which was not visible from below, was caught in sight, perhaps because it had climbed high.

“Oh, that looks like Farune Island.”

Farune, the second island located in the northern part of the island of beginnings.

It is also the place we will go to after this island.

“I’m asking just in case Abman, can you feel the location of the portal?”

“No, only on this island.”

“Right.”

I nodded, and Raven opened his mouth as if defending Mr. Bear.

“Don’t be too disappointed. It happened because the floor was so wide. They said that if you go near the portal, you can feel the location again from then on.”

what a disappointment

In the first place, unlike the lower floors, there are not many things the guide can do on the 6th floor.

Especially if it was the timing of just entering the 6th floor.

“Anyway, since I’ve packed everything, I’m going down.”

After finishing my business at the summit, I came down to the shore again with a colleague. And I moved in the direction of the island I saw from the top. Originally, the basic strategy is to make a boat

by

rooting a few more times on the starting island, but…

Soon I took out the boat I had prepared in subspace and floated it on the water. As soon as the guild was founded, a certain amount of it was collected as public money.

I spent most of my public money, but…

‘If it wasn’t for the current situation, I wouldn’t have been able to get it at this price.’

The timing was good in many ways.

The trees to be acquired in the future can be used to upgrade the ship or sell them as logs to buy a better ship.

“Bjorn… won’t this sink?”

Well, the last time I floated a boat in the Gnome Tree and went fishing.

‘……Ah, the boat turned over then.’

“Don’t worry. I’ve already tested the performance in the city. As long as I don’t move too much like last time, I’ll be fine.”

“Ha, but… Ugh! I’m shaking!! Isn’t my stomach weird! It’s so different from back then!!”

“It was a lake then, and now it is an ocean.”

In fact, the biggest problem is that the ship is twice as small as the one I was on at the time.

Anyway, at the end of this and that fuss, we got on the boat one after another.

And…

“Come on. Let’s go!”

As we had practiced in the city on bare ground, we rowed hard against the waves.

Yes, our ship has no sails.

If I had bought one with a sail, it would have been too narrow for four people.

I didn’t have enough money to buy a big one.

Originally, when you were a newbie, wouldn’t there be a romance unique to newbies?

“It seems that the stomach is going backwards…?”

“It’s because of the mood! Row hard!”

“One two. One two!”

It was my first time rowing in a real battle, so there was a little trial and error, but like explorers who do it with evil, they quickly adapted.

“Oh the island is getting closer!”

Raven reacts uncharacteristically to every little thing, perhaps because the sailing content stimulated his emotions.

However, the uplifting time did not last long.

‘But it’s taking much longer than I thought…….’

It didn’t look that far from the summit, but when I was rowing in a boat, I was moving at a speed that was almost that of a slug.

No, am I the only one who feels that way?

I never thought I’d encounter a hurdle so soon after entering the 6th floor.

“Woo-wook.”

“Bjorn? Why!”

“Sickness…….”

Bjorn Yandel was not of the nature of the sea.

***

Watching me die of seasickness, Misha asked anxiously.

“Sickness? Doesn’t that only happen when riding in a carriage?”

I’d like to know how you can ask such a question, but that’s only from my point of view.

It’s worth it if you’ve lived only within the walls of your life.

Raven seemed to know only with knowledge.

“Sickness refers to dizziness caused by a discrepancy between vision and balance.

“Oh, I see…”

Misha nodded in a voice that didn’t make sense at all.

“Somehow, I’ve been sick to my stomach since a while ago…”

At least Misha got better, but Einar, a barbarian warrior born from birth, was in worse condition than I was.

“Get out of the way! Ueueueueu!!”

Einar, forgetting to row, grabbed the railing and began to vomit what was inside.

“Kyaaak!”

“Stop it! Mr. Einar! You can’t move like that!”

I vomit so violently that my stomach tilts back and forth as my body shakes.

Really, it was so violent that I wondered if my stomach would capsize at this rate.

“Oop woo woo woo!”

“……Stop that!”

As it was a cramped ship with no space to get up and walk properly, it was impossible to physically block Einar.

And there are four people who can’t swim here.

Except for Erwen and Misha, all of them can’t swim.

It’s quite far from the island, so even if you use [Giant], your feet won’t touch the ground like last time.

Isn’t this a really dangerous situation?

“Raven! Stun it with magic!”

“Ah yes!”

As soon as I realized that it was not going to happen, I quickly assessed the situation and placed an order.

“Seretara Bayreon!”

“Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh …….”

Fortunately, Einar quietly passed out with one magic shot before he had properly set up his exorcism.

And…

“Hey man… I think I’m going to die.”

“Uh me too. I have to do it too.”

The comrades who could not withstand the turbulent waves of Ainar fell into a state of incapacity to fight one by one.

“Still, Mr. Urijkfried is surprisingly fine—”

“…Oops wow!!”

“Uh uh… Mr. Yandel is fine—”

No, it can’t be.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!”

As I held onto the railing as carefully as I could and vomited, I heard a sigh from behind.

“…why is it that none of us are normal?”

Surprisingly, Raven did not get motion sickness.

***

The hierarchical concept of layer 6 is simple.

Sailing across the vast sea, past various islands and heading to the 7th floor. So, starting from this level, ‘sailor’ is essential.

The 6th-floor specialized experts who started by steering the ship, recorded the route, and further ate the essence that would help with navigation.

‘Well, even if the ship is properly equipped, applicants will flock to it, so there’s no need to rush.’

I got off the bow and pulled the boat with my own hands to the shore. And I put it in a subspace bag so I don’t lose it.

Driving a small boat is a method that can only be used now.

In order to cross all kinds of damned seas, such as the windless zone and the ice sea, we have no choice but to need a bigger and bigger boat.

‘In the first place, that’s also why the clan size is recommended starting from the 6th floor.’

Since the ship is so expensive, it is a burden to explore the 6th floor for the size of the team.

“Hu is the ground! Ground!!”

The time when the sun began to set in the distance.

Only then did we arrive at Parune Island half-dead, having a simple meal and immediately starting to prepare for camping.

“A sunset might look like that…”

“Really. I thought it was good to be an explorer for the first time today.”

The colleagues who only watched the sun disappear over the castle wall felt a great afterglow watching the sun set over the horizon.

Actually, this was the same for me.

Just doing this on a sandy beach makes me feel like I’m on an island in the world.

Well, I’ve never actually been surprised by an island like this.

‘Why didn’t I go there sooner…’

For the first time, I regretted the past when I was stuck in the corner of my room and only played games. At that time, I must have lived in a wider world without castle walls.

“Einar, you boast quickly, I’ll wake you up later.”

“Is that okay?”

“Because you’ve suffered the most…”

“Thank you Misha!”

Einar, who suffered from seasickness, was chosen as Malvern, and the rest of the people set the order of vigil.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to stand in pairs. I heard that only 8th or lower ranks appear on this island.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s go around one by one and wake them up if something happens.”

“Hey, but if you’re going to do this, wouldn’t it be better to sleep on the original island? I don’t think monsters appear there.”

“Because I didn’t know I’d be arriving this late.”

“That too… I guess so.”

The day was moderately warm, so I laid down on the sandy beach with only one sleeping bag. From here on, it rained occasionally, so I brought a tent, but…

“It’s pretty.”

“Yes, I will.”

Looking at the Milky Way spreading all over the place, it was unanimously decided to just look at the sky and sleep.

“……My wife would have liked it too.”

“No, when you say that, it sounds like you’re talking about a dead person. Are you going to tell your wife about this?”

“……What are you talking about? It meant that I was sorry that I had to quit my job as an explorer! I!”

“Stop chatting and go to bed. Tomorrow morning, we’ll explore the island right away.”

Is it because it was the first night I arrived on the 6th floor?

Perhaps my mind was restless, my colleagues fell asleep after a long time.

and the next morning.

“I plan to look around along the coastline before going inside.”

Waking up early, we set up our campsite and circled the island all the way.

I didn’t have a particularly great reason, I just wanted to see it with my own two eyes.

How big is the difference between the game and reality?

‘The island is much bigger than I expected.’

When I walked about half a lap around the island while thinking about that.

“Oh Bjorn! There’s a boat!”

We found a boat anchored on the shore.

It’s not the size of a large sailboat, but it was three times bigger than ours, and it had everything to be affordable.

“If this is the windless zone, of course, the glacier will nod? Oh, of course, it has the owner’s stamp on it.”

“So you mean you can’t pick it up?”

At Raven’s explanation, Einar tilted her head with innocent eyes.

And then.

“Hey Barbarian. What are you doing in front of our ship?”

The owner of the boat appeared from inside the island.

“Wait a minute, are you that barbarian back then?”

“Long time no see.”

It was a memorable face.
