Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 78
Episode 78 Request (2)
“Can you possibly know what will happen in the near future?”
“Well, I can’t see that either. But beware of those who have a lot of grudges anytime, anywhere. The luck of attracting such people is with you in your destiny.”
“easily.”
“If you can solve their grievance, it will be a blessing, if not, it will be a misfortune.”
No, he doesn’t know what the word ‘easy’ means?
“I’m hungry, so go away.”
“I will.”
I came out of the tent after the shaman’s celebratory order.
Then, with a body that ran out of energy, he trudged and headed toward the city.
As I was walking, I gradually felt better.
‘Is it because of the spirit imprint?’
In the 1st stage of Immortal Imprint, natural regeneration increases, and in the 2nd stage, endurance and exorcism increase.
Exorcism is literally magic deal-related resistance, and endurance affects maximum stamina and regeneration speed.
In other words, unlike physical values such as strength and agility, it is not a noticeable ability.
But…
‘Not bad.’
If these boost stats are not supported, the character will not be able to play its role later.
In addition, in order to open the 6th stage imprint, which is the core of my training method, I need to raise it slowly from now on.
‘Starting from the 3rd level, it’s quite usable by itself.’
Originally, I was going to go through the 3rd level right away, but that passed tomorrow.
So today we have time—
“Bjorn!”
I hear a familiar voice from somewhere in the car rechecking my plans for the day.
A cry that seemed to whisper somewhere.
I wondered if I had heard it wrong for a moment…
“Bjorn!”
As soon as I checked the direction the sound was coming from, a human face popped out of the swaying bushes.
“……Einar?”
“Be quiet! If you get caught, you’ll be in big trouble!”
At Einar’s urgent request, I unknowingly squatted in front of the bush and lowered my voice.
“…why are you here?”
“I heard from the elder that you came to the Holy Land, and I came to see you for a while. To go to the city, don’t you have to pass this way.”
Um, that’s right.
But do you know when I’ll come?
“I’m glad I came early though. My legs are still numb!”
I was thinking of just waiting for you to come.
It is also Einar.
“Anyway, you don’t know who will pass by, so hurry and come in this way.”
It was a friendly face and I was curious about the current situation, so I climbed over the thick bush and went in between them and squatted down.
Only then did Einar’s body appear properly.
I asked with genuine concern.
“…why were you so skinny?”
Due to Bonnite’s essence, his height has decreased to the mid-170s.
Still, I didn’t feel small because I had muscles, but what about now?
Einar smiled bitterly.
“Hehe, it’s embarrassing, so don’t look at it too much. I know better that it’s ugly.”
In just one month, the warrior’s rugged body turned into a slim, skinny, muscular body.
“Isn’t the elder not preparing the food properly?”
“It’s not like that, but after compressing my muscles every day, it became like this before I knew it.”
“compression?”
“There is such a thing. I don’t know too well, so don’t ask me in detail.”
“I see……”
No matter how much it is, what kind of training did you make that healthy guy like this?
I couldn’t help but keep my mouth shut.
Einar smiled and changed the topic.
“I heard about you from the elder. Did you get the nickname ‘Little Vulcan’? As expected, Bjorn is amazing!”
“No big deal.”
“What happened there? I’m curious about your story.”
Einar looks at me with bright eyes.
He must have been curious about the story outside because he practiced daily.
I felt sorry for some reason, so I sat down and told the story in earnest.
“Oh, you said you became on the same team as Hikuro? It’s fortunate. I was nervous when I left, but I can trust him.”
Teaming up with Hikurod.
And various incidents experienced in the labyrinth.
Just as the story was about to end.
“Fnellin’s second daughter, Einar!!!!!!”
A roaring cry erupts from far away.
“Did you run away again!!!!”
“It’s a big deal. The elder seems to have noticed that I ran away.”
Einar hurriedly rose from his seat at the roar that pierced his ears even from afar.
I asked anxiously.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. Today’s practice is just doubling. Don’t worry too much as long as you don’t sleep.”
No, that’s why I’m
more worried…
“i get it.”
“Then I’ll go!”
Soon Einar turned his back and started running in the direction of the sound.
Therefore, the car I was going to continue on the way I was going.
“Oh right! Bjorn!”
Suddenly Einar turns around and calls me.
And he said something unexpected.
“I couldn’t say anything before, but I’m glad you looked good!”
“Do you like the expression?”
“Should I say that I was a bit more venomous in the past? Well, I wasn’t bad at that either…! But I seem to be a little more relaxed now! Maybe it’s because my new colleagues are trustworthy!”
Um is it?
I don’t know…
“Einar!!! Can’t you come back quickly!!”
“Ugh anyway, see you later!! I’ll continue to train hard and return as a more reliable warrior!”
Soon, Einar’s figure disappeared from sight.
I just looked there and thought for a moment.
‘The miasma is gone…’
Is this a positive change or a negative change?
I didn’t know yet.
***
Since the spirit imprinting ended early, I had quite a bit of time left, so I visited the Magic Tower.
To fill the research quota this week.
“Huh? Why is Mr. Yandel here today? Didn’t he decide to come tomorrow?”
“I came today because I have something to do tomorrow.”
“No, shouldn’t you make something to do if you have a prior promise?”
……It’s definitely a theory.
But I’m a good barbarian.
It is not bound by public manners and customs.
“What do you mean by promise?”
“Oh hey, you only do this when it’s like this, really……. Okay, sit down and wait. I’ll just finish what I’m doing and start.”
“I will.”
After waiting for a while, preparations for today’s experiment were completed.
For reference, today’s experiment is to check how the vampire’s exorcism affects mental magic and to measure the exact value of the reduced sun resistance
…
“Then shall we begin?”
Jijijijijijik-!!
The experiment ended sooner than expected as I was entrusted with the vicious experiment tools.
A car that just wants to leave without looking back.
“Hey, Mr. Yandel!”
Raven urgently called me.
I wondered if there was something I wanted to say about the research, but…
“So I’ll tell you about it sometime.”
“What do you mean?”
“The relic I used to catch the vampire! How did you know? [Tears of the Goddess] are there?”
Oh again?
It’s a conversation that happens every time I visit this place.
“I say it over and over again, don’t you say you don’t even know what it is?”
“It comes out like that again, right?”
Raven crosses his arms and glares at me.
But would he know? Even with that short stature, it just makes me look arrogant.
I asked straight forward.
“What is Arua Raven [Tears of the Goddess] that you are so obsessed with?”
At first, I wondered if they suspected me of being an evil spirit.
However, looking at the actions he showed afterwards, it seems that this is not the case again.
Just look at the time he asked about pills and letters.
If you suspected me of being an evil spirit, it would have come out in some way during the conversation.
“……It’s not because of that holy object.”
She finally gave an answer.
If you don’t do this because you suspect it’s an evil spirit, why the hell are you doing this?
The answer was something I hadn’t even thought of.
“Because of the book that contains information about the relic.”
“book?”
“Crack gun crack. You’re not saying you don’t know, right?”
No, I really don’t know even if I look at it like that…
“I understand that you want to keep the book’s existence a secret. I did too. Originally, knowledge becomes more valuable the fewer people know it, right?”
“…so what do you want to say?”
“If you have the book or know the whereabouts, I’d like to buy it. There are many parts of mine that I can’t read because they haven’t been stored properly.”
Looking at those eyes full of passion for learning, it doesn’t seem like they’re trying to make up my mind with made-up words…
Really, it was because of the book?
“If that was the purpose, wouldn’t it be better to ask like that from the beginning without going round and round?”
“But originally, negotiations are for the side that seems desperate to lose, right?”
well that’s right
As I was nodding my head unconsciously, she openly confessed her intentions.
“If you admit that you found the holy relic, then I was thinking of trying to negotiate as if it was no big deal. Ms. Yandel also knew its value, but to no avail…
”
“Yes. So can Mr. Yandel stop being honest with me?”
I pondered for a while.
At the time, I was completely convinced that the item I used was a holy relic, so insisting like before didn’t seem like a good idea.
I’d rather admit it than admit it.
“I got those [Tears of the Goddess] or something by destroying a statue in front of a fountain.”
“As expected! I knew that!”
“But that’s it.”
“…yes?”
Seeing her bewildered, I spoke quickly.
“When you guys were searching around, you got bored and broke it and it came out.”
“So… you don’t know about books?”
She muttered with a dazed expression, but quickly found reason and fired at him.
“Wait a minute. Is there a contradiction? If it’s true, can you think of using something you don’t know about in that situation?”
Quite a sharp question.
However, since it was already expected, there was no blockage in the answer.
“I thought it must be an item from that place because the pattern of the goddess was drawn on the box. It worked well in reality.”
“……Really?”
“With the honor of a warrior, everything I just said is true.”
Soon after, Raven’s expression turned gloomy when he even made the oath of a modern man, which was no different from a cheat key.
“Then I… What the hell did you do?”
After learning that I was shadow boxing alone, I feel a sense of shame. I
feel sorry, but at the same time I also feel that way.
The community of players, ‘Ghostbusters’.
I think the biggest advantage there is ‘information exchange’. but…
‘Maybe it wasn’t for someone else.’
“I’m a player to some
and a demon to others.
That’s why…
“I’m hungry, so I’ll leave!”
Like a barbarian, I slam the door open and leave the room.
Misha, who follows me as a benefactor.
A dwarf who treats me like a friend. Einar, who
always encourages me and looks up to me saying he will become a great warrior.
It’s the same for everyone.
Bjorn, the son of Yandel.
With this body, I can’t be true to anyone.
Well, I don’t think Lee Han-su’s body will be any different. ***
After going to the Magic Tower, I went straight to the commercial district and took over the completed magic panties.
After that, it was 5:00 PM.
It
was a bit ambiguous time to end the day like
this .
It would be even a little more productive that way than resting.
“Parshitiev.”
After being enchanted by the librarian, I headed straight to the bookshelf.
Even if I tried to say hello, there was no way I would accept it, and I didn’t have the energy to do that today.
But… …..
“……You’ve become famous.”
The librarian, who usually doesn’t even bother to say a word, calls out for some reason.
“Somehow,”
I gave a rough answer and left
. Since he’s a wizard, he thought it would be beneficial to get close to him, but…
‘In fact, it’s kind of funny to dwell on things like that now.’
Became a 6th-level explorer.
And also got the nickname “Little Vulcan.”
Not only is he good enough to fit into a team with a mage, but the current team also has a mage.
Even though he’s not from the Mage Tower…
It’s probably the same for him.’
I laughed while thinking about that in my heart.
It was because I knew that no matter how much I gave a reason, it was only a rationalization.
Trude- The
ground that exists only for legitimacy.
In the end, the true intention is different.
I just didn’t want to do that. I
calculated every single action. “I didn’t want to try to gain favor with others.
At least today, that’s why I was a little tired.
Therefore—
I
stopped walking towards the bookshelf,
and faced the problem I had been ignoring.
‘This is how Einar lost his miasma.’ It’s natural to say.’
“I have a problem. It’s a
mental problem. Whether
my body has become quite livable or my emotions that I thought were dry are secretly showing up.
Bad news for me, who puts survival first.
If so, what’s the solution?
” .’
I
turn my
back and go
to the librarian
. As I stared at it with such emotions, the quick-witted librarian
succinctly
told me,
“I have a friend who works at the administrative office. I recommended you because I was looking for an explorer to entrust the commission to.”
“You recommended me?”
“Strictly speaking, I didn’t recommend it. Somehow, in the middle of a conversation, you came up, and a friend overheard it asked to set up a place with you. Of course, if you’re busy or don’t like it, you can decline—”
“Okay. Let’s meet and talk.”
The librarian, who looked at my answer with a surprised face, nodded slightly.
“Then, I’ll tell my friend that.”
Request… ….
Gradually, the time has come for such an event
.
It was good to hear it too.
