Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 79
Episode 79 Request (3)
“Is Bjorn going to the Holy Land today too?”
“There’s something I didn’t finish yesterday. I’ll be back in the evening, so don’t cheat and practice.”
As soon as the day dawned, I headed to the Holy Land to get the 3rd level imprint I hadn’t received yesterday.
The cost is the same as the game, 2 million stones.
It was also consistent that each time the spirit imprint went through a stage that was a multiple of 3, it could be given characteristics.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a barbarian with a lot of money like you. There are three crossroads for you.”
As the money is put into the jar, the witch doctor asks.
“There is a soul of flame, a soul of steel, and a soul of wildness. What will you choose, warrior?”
I listened to the shaman’s explanation just in case, but it didn’t seem that there was anything that had changed because of the reality patch.
Therefore…
“I will choose the spirit of the wild.”
He chose the wild nature without hesitation.
Yes, each of these characteristics is also the core of my shield baba.
「I have activated the 3rd stage of Immortal Imprint. Physical resistance and fire resistance are greatly increased.」
「Physical value increases by +50.」
「The spirit of the wild dwells in the body.」
「The character’s basic threat level increases significantly.」
「[Birth Eruption] You can use it.”
Threat level.
In other words, the probability of attracting aggro from monsters increased even if you just breathed.
In addition, through [Wild Eruption], you can temporarily increase the threat level by 3 times and obtain a body bonus proportional to the level.
‘Originally, I only used it occasionally when raising the Great Sword Baba.’
In the early days, I often covered the Barbarian’s lack of viability with the Immortal imprint.
However, the [wild eruption] at that time was a double-edged sword.
Enemies flock as the character becomes stronger.
Of course, it was different for Shield Baba.
‘No risk high return.’
What attracts monster aggro?
As a tanker, it’s rather welcome.
But in the meantime, the body value also increases?
Not only does it increase stability, but
if you use it together with [Giant], which greatly increases the threat level, you can temporarily feel the taste of mulberry.
‘I didn’t expect to finish the 3rd level of [Giantness] in 3 months.’
While he is satisfied with his own growth, he also feels bitter at the same time.
I was just struggling to survive… but
it ended up like this before I knew it.
“I’m tired, so go out and see.”
It was five o’clock in the afternoon when I came out after receiving the spirit imprint.
Misha promised to grill beef, so I quickly stopped by the library to confirm the appointment time and returned to the dorm.
And…
After a lot of experimentation, I found out the trigger conditions for [Wild Eruption].
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Lunch the next day.
I headed to the meeting place alone.
The name of the store was ‘Promise of Flowing Water’, so I wondered what kind of store it was, but it was an ordinary dessert store.
fuck.
“……Barbarian?”
“What is it? Is the owner in debt?”
The gaze that gathers when you open the door and enter.
Something is worse than the library.
It’s not like I’ve come to a place I can’t come to.
“You’re right, Bjorn! Here you are!”
Changing places is not efficient, so I went to my seat and sat down.
“Are you the client?”
“Yes. My name is Shabin Emour, the 7th-level secretary of the Ravigion Administration. Please feel free to call me Shabin.”
“I will.”
Shabin Emour.
race is human. I thought he was young because he was a friend, but he seems to be in his early thirties.
At first glance, he looks pretty good, but if you talk to him about his real personality, you’ll quickly find out.
“I didn’t order it because I didn’t know what I would like, so what should I do?”
“It’s beer-roasted meat.”
“……yes?”
“It’s fine without it. I hate sweets.”
“Ah yes…….”
Why did you call this place? This should have been enough for a silent protest…….
I hurriedly got to the point.
“So what is the content of the request?”
“Have you not heard from Ragnar?”
“Ragna? Oh, you mean that librarian?”
Shabin flinched at my question, then nodded as if he understood.
“You don’t know the name. Well… if it’s that child, it could be. It’s called Ragnaritaniel Peprok. He’s not a bad kid, so don’t be too angry.”
I’m tired and I have nothing to do.
Because I didn’t even ask in the first place.
I muttered as if in remorse.
“Ragnaritaniel Peprokra…….”
“It’s not Ritaniel, it’s Litaniel.”
yeah that’s it anyway
Why is your name so hard to pronounce?
“……Are you a noble?”
“No, it’s not like that……”
I asked without knowing it, and a little strange reaction came back.
“I can’t go into details. If he finds out, he’ll be angry.”
Yes, I mean there is a story.
“Tell me about the contents of the request.”
“It’s a simple patrol request. Criminals or tax defaulters sometimes hide in the sewers, so we have to patrol periodically. But…
Shabin blurts his words in a strange tone.
It looks like he’s waiting for something.
” …But what?” I tried to put in a
catchphrase just in case, and Shabin continued to explain with a face that said he was right.
As Bjorn-nim knows…….”
“…Sippy?”
“There was a big problem on the 3rd floor this time, right? It looks like it got caught up in it! What a sad story?”
I don’t know if it’s a sad story, but I know there’s something wrong with him.
“That’s why you decided to entrust the request to me.”
“Yes. It’s an official request from the administrative agency, so you can’t entrust it to just anyone. So while I was looking for the right person, Ragnar told me about Bjorn!” ”
I see.”
I understand the general circumstances.
But…
“Why did it have to be me? Could there have been someone more suitable?”
After hearing it, it’s a request that’s close to a chore.
The administrative office must have entrusted the request to the explorers as if
it were a subcontractor. It’s clear that the pay isn’t too high. ‘They weren’t
sent
by the demon hunters…?’
I had assumed the worst situation in my heart, but the answer was absurdly concise:
“You’re the most talked-about person these days, right?”
“What?”
“To be honest, I was a little curious. I also wanted to meet him in person…….”
In short, it means that he took on the pretext of requesting an administrative agency request to satisfy his personal curiosity.
“Oh, I’m going to pack some cookies here later, but Bjorn-nim will present them to my co-workers. Can I boast that I gave it to you?”
“……Do whatever you want.”
Looking at that bright expression, it doesn’t look like he’s acting.
“So what do you think? The payoff is only 200,000 stone, but I don’t think it’s too bad an offer even for Bjorn. It’s a little like that to say in my own words…….”
Oh, again?
Ca n’t you
just tell me directly
?
As we chimed in one more time, Shabin smiled and continued saying,
“Because there are people who consider receiving a request from the administrative agency itself a reward! Since our selection criteria are a bit strict, should I say that other organizations also consider him a proven talent…?”
This time, for some reason, the words went up.
I tried to explain it from the perspective of a barbarian, but there seems to be no ambiguity. …….
“It means that the level of trust has increased.”
I am a barbarian who has both the mind of a modern man and a savage body.
Shabin applauded as I summarized it briefly and concisely.
“Yes! To put it simply, yes! Eh, well… Even if Bjorn’s fame isn’t like that, there will still be requests coming in here and there.” “Not
really like that.”
I smiled bitterly.
Two weeks have passed since I gained the reputation of being a small Vulcan.
Nevertheless, the purpose of the request This is the first time they’ve contacted me via ,
and I can guess why:
‘Because I’m an ignorant barbarian.’
There’s a difference between being good at fighting and being smart.
But maybe I can use this opportunity to change my perception of myself.
But again, I shouldn’t stand out too much… ”
I ‘ll do that request.”
***
“Then let me go.”
After
explaining the details of the quest, the barbarian leaves the hall without any regrets.
Seeing the back, Shabin grinned
.
I wondered why the child was talking about other people, but now I think I know. Should I say that I
feel mentally comfortable after having a conversation with an innocent person for the first time in a while?
The child must have felt the same way
.
It’s safe to say that it’s been several years since he first mentioned someone else.
‘Still, I was nervous and met him in person, but he doesn’t seem like a bad person. He didn’t seem to know anything about him either…’
Shabin said coldly . I sipped and organized my thoughts.
Next time, it would be nice to pretend to be a coincidence and create a place for the three of us. If we leave it alone, the two of us will never get close to each other
. It
‘s time for that child to have a friend.
***
Two days later,
with ten days left before the labyrinth opens,
we arrived at the sewer entrance guided by administrative staff
.
…I didn’t tell you that Bjorn would stink like this.”
“I didn’t know it was this much. But if you said sewage, shouldn’t you have expected it to some extent?”
“That’s right…”
Yesterday, when we all gathered together and talked about the request, it turned out like this.
[You don’t have to share the commission fee. All kinds of ghost stories I’m exploring the sewer? Ha ha ha! How can I fall for such a place?]
[ Maybe I can follow along?
The road must be complicated, right? It’s perfect to test out your newly acquired abilities.]
[I heard that it’s a place where criminals hide? It might be dangerous alone.]
Everyone came to the conclusion that they would follow me, probably because they were bored with training every day.
So I just said yes.
You don’t have to share the request fee, but you don’t have to refuse free manpower.
‘I don’t know about the other kids, but Rottmiller, a searcher, will be very helpful.’
After handing over the map received from the administrative agency staff to Rottmiller, he inserted a video recorder to record the patrol process into the groove of the helmet.
So now the preparation is over.
“Let’s start off soon.”
I went ahead and opened the iron window.
Then I went down the damp stairs to the basement.
When I stepped on the last step, I had to light a torch because there was barely any light.
“Is the inside wider than I thought?”
“That’s why even those who live in hiding don’t come out from time to time. Ha ha ha!”
Rippling gutter water and a ditch next to it.
Torches flicker, giving off a gloomy atmosphere somewhere.
“This way.”
Follow Rotmiller’s guidance and walk over the ditch, being careful not to fall into the water. The farther away from the entrance, the darker the surroundings become.
“You know what? It’s a ghost story about a terrible monster living in the sewers…”
The dwarf laughed and spread rumors about what was so fun.
Misha and Dwalki listened to it seriously again.
“Is there a real monster in Dwalki?”
“I heard that all the waste from the Mage Tower goes into the sewer. If reagents or monster corpses randomly met and had some effect, it would be possible to create such a monster.”
“Oh, like that too?”
Also, what is that?
Even our predecessors received 150,000 stones per synagogue and went in and out of the sewer for two years without any problems. Is there such a thing realistic? I sigh
inwardly and
carefully move my feet.
But is it because of the ghost stories that the dwarf is constantly talking about?
Every time I walk, the sound I hear is toxic.
‘Since there are five of us doing this, it seems like we’ve entered some kind of dungeon.’
Isn’t something really going on?
