Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 514

Episode 514 Native Americans (2)

There are legends in every world.

Same with Lapdonia.

Someone who was exploring the labyrinth saved his life by being helped by an unknown being with whom he could communicate in the labyrinth.

Either that or run away before being eaten.

Stories of that type have existed like tales among explorers since a very long time ago.

Of course, it has never been proven to be true.

“I imagine I’ve tried it at least once when I go exploring.”

Like Erwen’s cynical remark, most explorers think about it at least once.

In this labyrinth full of all sorts of secrets, wouldn’t there be at least one rational being with whom one could communicate?

“It’s interesting… very interesting…”

Unlike Erwen, Amelia’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard about the ‘natives’.

“What happened to the corpses at the entrance? Was that what the ‘monsters’ did?”

Upon receiving Amelia’s question, the female explorer tilted her head.

“The corpse at the entrance…?”

“Don’t you know? There were three of them.”

Soon after Amelia told me what she looked like, the female explorer flinched.

“Mcholdin Princeton Rick……. The three people who were kidnapped in the first raid…… I didn’t see them in the village where they were captured, so I couldn’t believe that was the case…….” ”

First raid Eh… tell me from the beginning. It’s okay to say it in detail, so don’t leave out a single thing. After the division with the Hetz Clan.”

“Yes……? How did you guys do that……”

“It was they who told me about this island.”

“…okay.”

I should have followed them then.

The female explorer murmured in a low voice before continuing.

“After splitting with the Hetz Clan, we started exploring the island’s interior.”

area first discovered.

And new monsters appearing in that area.

As much as there was no information, the battle was tricky and there were many dangerous situations, but until then, they were full of motivation.

“Tentacullan Diamont, oyster squirrel, Papagonas, Baylonta… naming the new monsters I encountered was like going on a grand adventure that only comes out of history.”

Papagonas Bylonta.

It’s a monster we haven’t discovered yet. However

, as

for the information about these guys, I’ll ask later…

It was a footprint that led towards the center.

The footprints were twice as large as those of humans, and there were many of them, as if many were moving.

But…

“The shapes were all different. And they were flat. As if they were wearing shoes…” Upon

discovering the trails, they excitedly followed the trail, claiming that it must be a new type of monster.

The previously overgrown forest has grown thick.

And the monsters that I saw from time to time completely disappeared.

How much further did you go from there?

“Then there was the first raid.”

The monsters in the ambush attacked from all sides and fought desperately, but the three were kidnapped.

Among them was the clan chief’s lover.

Naturally, the Silver Lion Clan had their eyes closed and pursued them, stepping further inside.

“But even that had a limit. The second and third battles continued and many people died.”

The biggest problem was that even after making such sacrifices, he was unable to capture even a single monster.

“I don’t know why they realized that late, but they were smart. They communicated in their own language and acted strategically.”

Realizing this, the Silver Lion Clan turned around and fled.

The captain, whose lover was kidnapped, made a fuss, but he had no choice but to nod his head at the persuasion to go back and seek help from Baron Yandel.

But by then it was already too late.

“There was a trap set on the way back. Obviously we went back the way we came. There was no such thing when we came back…” All of

them were caught in the trap and taken blindfolded to their village. .

“But how did you guys get out?”

“Well… one of the monsters came secretly and set us free…”

“He released…?”

After hearing the details, it is said that he was a very small guy compared to other monsters.

They say it looks like a child…

“Were you close?”

“No. It doesn’t make sense, but it can’t be.”

“Then why did you let them go?”

“We’re not sure… I don’t know. The monster came to the prison where we were held, stared at him all day and talked to him, but that’s all.”

Hmm, that’s what I mean.

As I nodded, Amelia said what she thought without going through a filter.

“It must be sympathy.”

At that, Erwen also said that he was right.

“Come to think of it, my younger brother was like that in the past. It was a time when we were in the middle of preparing for the festival.

The expressions of the explorers hardened at the words of the two, but they did not refute.

It was what they themselves were feeling.

Because they were treated as animals behind bars, they were able to survive with the sympathy of a child.

“Haha… All children are like that…”

Anyway, that’s their story.

After that, I listened mainly to the story about the ‘monster’.

What does it look like and how strong is it?

What is the population of the village, etc.

I got as much information as I could find out in advance and finished my judgment to some extent.

“This is enough to continue the exploration.”

Considering the size of the village, it is not even seven, but the monsters they talked about varied greatly by individual.

Like a society made up of people.

Not all members are warriors.

The problem is that they have a geographic advantage as they are familiar with the geography of this place

.

“Here, guide me. To the place where the village is.”

“…Am I really going?”

“I came to explore, so I have to explore.”

“…….”

Saying that, he tapped his shoulder, and the explorers made faces as if they were chewing shit.

“I… I’ll tell you the location, so the Baron is going there himself…” ”

Yes! Even if we were there, it would only be a hindrance!”

Seeing their enthusiastic response, I was determined not to go back there again.

But…

“Do you have a boat?”

“Yes! Murton here has the ship’s summoning stamp.”

“Yes? Then I got it. Go now.”

“……yes?”

“What’s the problem? If you have the confidence to reach the shore alive and return to the rocky island by boat, then it’s the right thing to do.”

For reference, the average grade of the monsters we met on our way here was 3 to 4.

Fortunately, since we were explorers, we communicated well.

“……I will guide you to the place where the village used to be.”

“Good.”

For some reason, the relationship seemed to be long, so I made a full statement.

Marina Chenkrian Dennis.

Spearman Dennis was a member of the Small and Medium Team, and the other three were members of the Silver Lion Clan.

Well, in fact, it seems that the clan has already been disbanded.

“Yandel From now on, I will take the lead.”

Somehow, the movement formation was also touched a little.

“Are you Emily?”

“Didn’t I say there was a trap in the forest?”

“But rather, I have to lead the way—”

“Yandel, you are our leader. Who can lead us if you are injured or captured?”

Amelia took the lead with that logic.

If you are yourself, you will be able to spot traps better, so don’t worry too much? In fact, Amelia led the team by discovering the trap in advance.

It was a very strange feeling as a tanker.

‘The feeling of being protected… might not be bad…’

Anyway, after about 2 hours of traveling, we arrived at our destination.

But…

“Here… Here it is. I’m sure it’s under the tree… Huh?”

Under the roots of the trees they were said to have climbed out of, there was no passage leading underground.

“How did this happen?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did I come to the wrong place?”

“No! That can’t be the case. Didn’t the Baron see it earlier too! I found the shoes I spilled around here!”

It certainly doesn’t seem like he’s lying…

There’s a possibility that he mistook it for another tree, so he checked all the trees around him, but he still couldn’t find the entrance.

‘Is it the way the entrance opens and closes?’

The detailed principle is still unknown, but it was clear that the village was hidden underneath.

Swoop.

When you see a child running around like this.

“I’ll take the left side.”

“Then I’ll take the right side.”

As soon as it was discovered, Erwen and Amelia rushed at it, blocking the escape route.

And in an instant, the target was subdued.

Blue skin and big eyes.

High fangs and the top of the head sticking out like an alien.

[Kyaaaaaaagh-!]

The subdued monster struggled violently and let out a beastly sound.

Of course, that time was extremely short.

“quietly.”

The moment Amelia, concerned about the commotion, thrust a dagger into her throat.

The monster stopped defiance and slowly looked up at me.

[Please save me…]

It was an ancient language.

***

You can freely read and write ancient languages.

If you have that ability, you can, of course, speak.

Although it does feel a bit clumsy.

[Is it you? The little boy who freed four people here.]

When I spoke to him in an ancient language, the subdued monster looked at me with a surprised look.

When do you tell me to save you?

[Aren’t you going to answer?]

[That’s right… I let you go. The four of them.]

[Reason?]

[Because it’s pitiful…]

Hearing that, something common cliché came to mind.

why isn’t there such a thing

The kind of thing where a good-hearted kid accidentally does a favor, with irreversible consequences.

“What is Yandel talking about?”

“They say that you released the four of them and that it was because you felt sorry for them.”

It was what I said to Amelia, but the group of four who heard me from the side had a bad expression again this time.

“Cursed monsters dare to…”

“Baron… can you tell me? I don’t thank you at all. Did you think you would be grateful after killing our comrades so brutally?”

Of course, there was no translation.

Officially, isn’t it the first object discovered in the labyrinth to communicate with?

We need to suck out information about it as gently as possible.

[They… what are they saying?]

[They say thank you for helping me.]

[Is that so… is it…]

Surprisingly, the monster kid readily agreed with my words.

It seems that it is difficult to read emotions through facial expressions and voices because their appearance and language are different.

But no matter where you go, the kids are all the same, so the little monster showed curiosity even in this situation.

[How can you talk about us? A monster?]

[A monster…?]

It was nice to see her bold appearance, but as a human being, it was difficult to listen to it and ignore it.

[Why are we monsters?]

[That’s right… It’s because we look different. Of course, it makes sense, but…….]

Is this it?

In a country of small people, even ordinary people become giants.

[Okay then, if we say monsters, what are you guys?]

When I asked with a smile, the little monster answered without hesitation as if he were talking about common sense.

[We are…… human beings.]

For some reason, it became a very philosophical conversation.
