Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 307

Episode 307 Round Table (1)

A library with a calming woody scent.

‘Nothing has changed in particular.’

As I looked around with that thought in mind, a change caught my eye.

white mask.

The same white mask I wore on my last visit hangs on the empty wall.

‘Do you mean to write and come out?’

I smiled and put on the mask.

And let’s open the door and go out, sure enough.

I saw an old man walking down the hallway.

Auril Gavis.

An unidentified person who might have the answers to all my questions…

“Heh heh, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.”

An old man who was delighted to hear that he had done the ‘original clear’ without even thinking about hiding his emotions.

“Did you have any problems during that time? How anxious was I that something might happen after I sent you away that day?”

Even if he smiles from the start like that, creates a soft atmosphere, and greets politely, he cannot be vigilant.

Because I saw it the other day

The leader of Orcules, the Annihilator, and more.

The strong men, who would not bow down anywhere, were unable to move at the words of this old man and only looked at them lightly.

“I was fine. But what happened to them then?”

“Huh? They?”

“Didn’t they send me out at the end for breaking the rules again?”

Only then did Auril Gavis nod as if he understood.

“Ah, I was talking about those failed works.”

It’s a failure…….

I recognized that a full-fledged number fight had begun through the words I said casually.

It’s obvious that the old man I don’t understand is the intention of using the word ‘failure’ without hesitation, which I would be wary of.

‘Maybe he didn’t like being dragged around by me last time.’

It’s kind of like a stick and carrot variation.

The only difference is that you swing the whip at someone else, not the target.

“Failures will be gathered in that room, so don’t worry.

While showing the appearance of wielding the whip relentlessly to others, it builds dignity.

It only shows an infinitely warm appearance to the target.

yes like this

“Kuhm, by the way, I wasn’t considerate. From what you’ve heard, it must have been a little. But don’t mind too much. I know better than you that you’re different from them.”

Kindness contrasted with the coldness from before.

The object of that favor comes to mind.

I don’t want to be in an uncomfortable relationship with this person.

To do so, I must respond to that favor.

Such a mentality naturally arises in the unconscious.

Well, I’m immune to such despicable speech techniques.

“You’re special, aren’t you?”

I answered the old man’s question with a smile.

“I don’t know.”

“huh?”

“Stop the nonsensical tricks.”

Because I hate carrots.

“…Are you saying that it’s a trick?”

At my provocative words, the old man also changed his expression and stared at me. There was no tingling life, but intense momentum radiated from the eyes and atmosphere.

But I didn’t back down.

That’s right, you have to inform such opponents in advance.

That I’m not at all afraid of being in an uncomfortable relationship with you.

“I’m not here to talk about this with you.”

“huh……?”

“It’s okay, and if you’re going to chat like this, send it back. No, I hope you take care of it so that you don’t come here from now on.”

The old man was perplexed and exclaimed as if he was unfair.

“Now, small talk! You were the one who asked what happened to them!”

Ah… that’s true too.

Things got a little funny.

But what are you going to do

“So you’re saying it’s all my fault?”

I learned the importance of faith by watching barbarians who fart everywhere.

A strong trust in oneself.

That firm mind builds confidence and allows us to move forward without being intimidated in the face of any difficulties.

Therefore…

“No, it’s not your fault…”

“Apologize.”

boldly demand

“Calm down for a second. What the hell did I do so sensitively—”

Even if that’s forced.

Even if I don’t have the body of a barbarian right now, but in the form of Lee Han-soo.

“So you’re not going to apologize?”

“……Hehe I must have looked too funny.”

The old man frowned at the repeated request.

Unlike before, it was very unusual for the surrounding space to sway.

To be honest, I was fucking scared.

But…

“Apologize.”

Nothing changes.

What would you do if you were straight?

I’m kicking out the ‘original clear user’.

“Whoa… Why are you doing this?”

Soon the old man sighed and asked.

The shimmering of the surrounding space also stopped before I knew it.

It was as expected.

Just looking at it, it was clear that I was pretending to be angry to break this situation.

Oh, is it true that you were angry?

“Why do you keep provoking me? Last time, you wouldn’t have been such an rude friend.”

“You speak as if you know me well.”

I spoke quickly.

“And you look at me funny? Didn’t you look at me funny first?”

“What do you mean? You laughed at me—”

“Did you think I’d cringe when you said you weren’t considerate after saying it was a failure?”

“…….”

Surprisingly, the old man did not dispute my words.

Was it a mistake or did not intend to do so?

There must have been a lot of excuses, but he thought for a while and then nodded.

“I see, you are definitely different from the others……”

“……?”

“I apologize. I treated you so easily even though you can’t be an ordinary person who broke the original, which was considered a failure. I’ll be careful from now on.”

I didn’t mean to ask for an apology so sincere.

It was a little embarrassing for me, who had planned to take a little more initiative in the conversation after accepting an empty apology.

‘No, maybe even this was intended.’

“……If you say that, I’ll pass.”

Originally, I was cautioned not to accept a verbal apology, but I accepted it thinking that if I acted more barbarian here, the relationship itself could really break down.

The atmosphere was so soft.

“Now then, let’s not stay here, let’s talk while drinking something in the room over there. Is there any kind of tea you want?”

ask for something obvious

“cider.”

That was the only thought from the beginning.

***

This is great.

Originally, this was the timing I should have thought of.

yeah it definitely should have been

But…

‘Why does it look so dull?’

Is it because I asked for ice?

less so

I put the glass with only ice on the table and thought for a while. It’s not that I don’t have a refreshing feeling, but should I say that the carbonic acid seems to have weakened?

The taste was noticeably worse than when I ate it before.

‘Could this old man hold a grudge…?’

It was just when I remembered a plausible reason and moved my gaze.

Auril Gavis opened his mouth.

“So I’m going to go into the main topic soon, but I’m saying……”

It was a little funny.

In fact, no matter where I look, I’m not a nobleman who notices or caresses me.

‘That’s how important I am to this old man.’

I put in some effort, but the better my treatment is, the higher my vigilance is.

There is no one in this world who does good without purpose.

I stopped worrying about the sense of refreshment and thought about it slowly.

‘Why is the original clear user so important?’

um well As for me, I have no idea.

More game knowledge than other players?

That’s true, but that can’t be the reason.

The old man in front of me here is Auril Gavis. That is, game makers.

Of course, he will know the knowledge I know, and if a player with knowledge needs it, just share it.

But why are you so obsessed with it?

‘I’ll have to find out about that from now on.’

“Keuheumheum What do you think?”

“Oh sorry. I had another thought for a while.”

“Ha! You mean with me in front of you!”

Auril Gavis stuck out his tongue as if he was full of energy, as if the situation was absurd. Oh, of course, such a rude attitude didn’t last long.

“Huh, maybe it’s a start again.”

“Oh no. I just meant it’s fresh since it’s been a while.”

“Oh, I see. If I did it wrong, I almost misunderstood.”

“…Are you a barbarian?”

uh?

Did you write too much?

Although I was stabbed in my heart, I naturally did not panic and passed it off as if I had heard unpleasant words.

“Is that a question?”

“No way. I was joking.”

Judging by the look on his face, he seemed to be joking, but now he needs to be more careful.

“Anyway, speaking of questions…”

“It’s okay, so don’t notice it.”

After my permission was granted, the old man quickly got down to business.

“We had a conversation about equity before we parted ways at the end

.

“I’ve created something that can solve this.”

Yes, you can do it in one line.

“Hmm stuff?”

“This one.”

Instead of speaking at length, Auril Gavis took out a jewel the size of a fist from his inside pocket.

It was something very familiar to me.

“This is…”

It’s unmistakable whether you look up or sideways.

It is the jewel that was embedded in the center of the Round Table.

Huh, I didn’t know it was made through a story like this.

So, after all, this old man is the master?

“……Do you know what it is and react like that?”

“No, it just looks expensive.”

“It’s expensive… heh heh! This is something that can’t be converted into real goods like that… Kuh-hum, again, the conversation almost leaked.”

After learning a few times, Auril Gavis, who had stopped drinking on his own, quickly explained the subject.

“It’s an object made of some of my authority that exists in this spiritual space.”

I didn’t understand a single principle, but I didn’t bother to open my mouth. In the first place, I didn’t think I would be able to understand it…….

It’s best to stay still when you’re not sure.

“The way it works is really simple. If you tell the truth in front of this gem, it will light up green and if you tell a lie, it will light up red. Would you like to try it?”

Actually, from the moment it appeared, I abandoned the idea that it would be fake, but I didn’t dare to show it off. Isn’t it

like giving me a chance to ask a free question?

“Auril Gavis, are you over 300 years old?” I asked how old I was, and if I

answered

1, the red light on the jewel would turn on and it would be over. “……

It

won’t go over.

” ..

Shaaaaa.

The red light on the jewel came on.

“It means it’s a lie.”

Wow, then it’s over 300 years old?

It was made 150 years ago, so I just threw it around……

What kind of monster ” How

about

this, wouldn’t it be unfair to ask each other questions one by one?”

“Hmm, but isn’t this a bit like this? Since it’s something you made, you might be able to decide what kind of light the jewel will emit.”

A very valid opinion.

Surprisingly, Aurel Gavis chose to go head-on.

“I swear on my name. That kind of thing is impossible.”

Swear……

It was a word I

missed quite a bit. I should have hit the back of the head after swearing.

“It’s hard to believe with something like that. I don’t know if

even my parents swear.”

“My parents…?

” It’s just… I’m embarrassed because it’s such an absurd story. How can I bet on people who are no longer in this world ?” Didn’t

he

know that an oath in his name wouldn’t work

? My oath just now is true, and now I can’t even tell if you’re telling the truth or lying without this object.” ”

Huh?”

As I tilted my head, a green light came on

. I’ve spent a good chunk of my powers building this one thing. I can’t even read your total amount of soul anymore.”

”

Soul

total amount…?

”

That the faith I had is disappearing.

‘It’s getting more suspicious when you say your weakness like that…’ Didn’t

you really manipulate it?

“Do you remember the people you saw that day?”

“You called it a failure earlier?”

”

That’s right. Actually, I said that earlier, but they are the ones who can be treated with just their name and ability wherever they go.” ”

Name and ability are two

.

” Do you want to?”

Auril Gavis sighed and offered a new opinion

. Do you have enough ability to attach?”

“…What?”

I was genuinely dazed as soon as I heard it.

This isn’t some kind of round table demo.
