Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 94
Episode 94 The Barbarian Trophy (1)
After the field of view is dark, the light slowly returns.
‘This is my room.’
Bjorn Yandel’s inn room, not Lee Han-su’s.
When I checked my watch, exactly 12 seconds had passed since I was called there.
‘Is one hour there equals one second here?’
The time gap itself was not surprising.
Because the labyrinth was like that too.
No matter how many days I spent there, when I returned to the city, it was always noon the next day.
‘I don’t know the principle, but it’s a convenient phenomenon.’
Still, I think you should be careful.
In other words, it means that you will be defenseless for up to 12 seconds. Of course, if it’s an emergency, you can log out and come out immediately, so there’s no problem, but… What
if it’s not an emergency?
Like roasting beans over a fire of lightning.
What if something happened in those 12 seconds?
‘It must be difficult to respond properly.’
Well, I have no intention of not using the community for this reason. It’s just that there is such a risk.
That way, you can make a decision as soon as possible when something happens.
“Whoa…”
He stretched out and exhaled a long breath.
There was a slight fatigue.
Mental exhaustion, not physical.
‘Well, it’s like I’ve been awake for 12 hours.’
I closed my eyes thinking that someday, if there is someone who sleeps late only on this day, I might suspect him of being a player.
I didn’t want to go to sleep right away, but I needed time to organize my thoughts.
‘It’s good that I went in early.’
Ghostbusters.
It was a place made and operated with more perfection than expected. There was no shortage of acting as the source of information I wanted.
Thanks to this, I was able to obtain information about dimensional collapse.
‘It’s a rumor……’
It’s a good thing. One thing is certain.
However, for some reason, a sense of collapse and anxiety grow at the same time.
When I first heard it, I thought it was this.
If not this, what the hell is going on?
‘……I’ll have to be more careful.’
With that thought in mind, I fell asleep.
And time passed, and the next morning.
The day to keep the promise with Baron Martoang dawned.
***
“Have a good trip! Come and tell me!”
I came out to the street while being seen off by Misha.
And the result of changing wagons many times at the platform.
Arrived at Baron Martoang.
“Come here. We don’t have time.”
As soon as I entered the spacious mansion, I was dragged into a splendid room and changed my clothes.
Are you saying that my appearance isn’t savage enough to attend the count’s banquet today?
‘Nimiral.’
Being a barbarian, you have to go through this kind of thing.
Ordinarily, I would have decorated it neatly for the opposite reason.
“Oh my gosh, look at those muscles……”
With the help of the ladies-in-waiting, she takes off her breastplate and shirt.
And wears a shoulder guard on his bare body.
A shoulder guard with thorns on one side and a design in the shape of a beast’s skull on the other.
With it on…
“Could you lower your body a little bit?”
“I will.”
The ladies-in-waiting on the scaffold whimpered and wrapped something around their stomachs.
A champion belt that is over a hand’s size by my standards.
Why the fuck should I wear this?
One breastplate can protect the entire torso.
“Please raise your arm.”
Even after that, various fashion equipment was added to my body regardless of my will.
Equipment focused on intimidation rather than defense.
The weight balance was arbitrary, to the point that each movement was inconvenient, and the hair that the ladies-in-waiting untied kept flowing down and obstructing the view.
But…
‘I know what you want.’
when i looked in the mirror.
Beyond that stood a barbarian warrior who could drink dragon’s blood and eat ogre meat as a snack.
I had a sudden thought.
What if it lacks defense or practicality?
Fuck, if you approached me like this, everyone would be busy peeing and running away.
That kind of intimidation was great.
Named Show Window (True) Barbarian Mode.
But in his eyes, was this not enough?
“Tsk.”
A goatee-bearded Vishil looks at me disapprovingly.
So this bastard’s name is…
I haven’t heard of it yet.
“What’s your name?”
At my question, the butler frowned and answered briefly, as if he didn’t want to mix things up.
“Call me aide—”
“Yes butler.”
“…… I’m afraid he’s not an ignorant barbarian.”
The butler was a guy I didn’t like in many ways.
Did those who grew up without it add more?
From beginning to end, he treats me in a tone that seems to treat the lower one. The baron bastard didn’t have anything like that.
Do you know what Ji can do?
‘Even if it’s true, he’s still a commoner after all.’
While grunting inwardly, under the butler’s instructions, I even put the insoles in my shoes.
Plate boots weighing 7 kg due to excessive design greed. It was literally to die for with foreign objects on
top of it, but…
Well, only this baby.
‘Let’s suffer for the next day.’
Somehow, he said he would give me 1 million stones per day.
It wasn’t just words, it was a real labor cost.
In any case, it was about the line of movement to the unscrupulous butler, and where the baron should stand when talking to others.
Now that we are being educated on even the smallest details, it is time to start.
“It’s about time. Let’s go.”
Get out of the palace-like room and head for the front door.
A luxurious carriage was already waiting.
Perhaps the baron I haven’t seen before today is riding over there.
“What are you doing here? Your location is over there.”
I stood at the head of the carriage procession.
If I walked out in front, would you follow?
“It’s an important mission, so make sure to keep your eyes forward and your posture to
stand tall as a baron. ”
“depart!!”
Before long, a knight on horseback right behind me shouted, raising a flag, and I led the procession at a moderate pace.
trudge trudge.
When you leave the main gate, you can see the wide paved street at a glance. The streets of Karnon, the first district of the ecliptic, which I would not have been able to enter if it was my original identity.
Even the shop buildings are magnificent, and the clothes of the people are all noble.
Also, the Imperial Palace, which I couldn’t see from where I live, is showing its presence from far away.
‘Hey, I have to drill here quickly to use the punching auction house……’
The butler told me to just look forward and walk, but I didn’t miss this opportunity and walked around looking around.
Was that so?
“stop!!”
Taking a wrong turn, the procession stopped once.
The son of a butler ran to me in contemplation and shouted something.
But I dug my ears proudly.
Who wants to leave that to the barbarian?
***
The distance from the baron’s mansion to the county’s house where today’s banquet is held is about 6 km.
Although I have a record of moving more than that distance by crawling on three legs…
‘Nimiral.’
I overlooked the fact that I was wearing a full set of equipment that was the essence of irrationality.
Sweat trickles down.
If it hadn’t been for the insoles that were pushed in at the end, it wouldn’t have been this hard.
“Baron Martoang eats it!”
After chewing on the butler, we finally arrived at our destination.
As soon as the front door of the count’s house opened, curious eyes flew in from all over the place.
It would be the nobles who wouldn’t even be able to see the stars, but it seems that it is the first time to see a barbarian leading a wagon procession.
“Putting the barbarian first must have been inspired by that anecdote and followed it!”
“It’s a great sense of intimidation. It felt like a giant was entering.”
“Wow, Father, can’t we come in like that next time?”
The nobility gathered in the outdoor banquet hall where the banquet was laid spread their appreciation one by one, warming up the atmosphere.
Was it a reaction you liked?
The baron, who got off the carriage, burst out with a big smile that I had never seen before.
“It’s the first time I’ve received so much attention just for my position. When I go back, I’ll pay generously.”
The baron was so happy that he even promised a bonus.
“I’m going to say hello to the count, so you guys can enjoy the banquet too.”
Soon after, the baron entered the mansion accompanied only by a few retainers. Then, naturally, the knights scattered and mixed into the banquet.
Only then did I notice
“…….”
That I was left alone in this large banquet hall.
“Oh, look at the horns on that helmet. It’s scary.”
“It looks like it was modeled after the ancient demon Parseira!”
Formal tuxedos and other fine dresses.
A knight’s armor boasting white luster and precious metals shining like flowing waves.
I, who is alone in it, has the appearance of a savage.
This isn’t some kind of monkey in a zoo.
“I walked. Where are you going?”
Just by taking one step, words of curiosity burst out here and there.
I feel like the PTSD I thought I had overcome would recur.
Then a man came up to me.
“You worked hard.”
It was a knight who acted as a rider in my back row.
“You’re a monster too. To wear it and walk like this without rest.”
The knight who must have watched my hardships closer than anyone else smiled and tapped my shoulder.
“How about going over there and resting together until the baron returns.”
what? Is this man a light?
“good night.”
Soon after, I sat down in an empty seat.
All sorts of delicacies were all around, but the appetite didn’t turn around. As if this was the case with chivalry, he just sat still and drank his throat with alcohol.
I was curious and asked.
“Is it okay if you don’t hang out with them?”
“If you go, you won’t be welcome. I’m a former explorer like you.”
Somehow, he was alone and the buds were yellow.
“I’m Yandel’s son, Bjorn. What’s your name?”
“It’s Carls Erimor.”
After a brief statement, we had a conversation.
I felt it from the beginning, but Carls was a pretty good guy.
Because he was an explorer, he could communicate well, and even though he was a knight, he did not show his characteristic arrogance.
That son of a butler should learn from watching—
“What are you doing? Who told you to sit down?”
The butler, who entered the mansion with the baron, found me and came running with a single step.
I noticed that I didn’t like the fact that I was resting.
“Hey, aide. Enough. This friend told me to take a break.”
“…Is that so?”
When Kals chanted, the butler startled and lowered his voice.
“Get up when you’re done resting. What will people think if the barbarian is sitting and resting?”
“……Are you taking a break?”
“No, people will think you’re that weak. So get up. Regardless of your true nature, you must be a ferried warrior today.”
At the butler’s urging, he finally stood up from his seat.
‘…Okay, let’s work hard for one day.’
Wasn’t it a promise to be a proud existence like a baron’s trophy? Let’s
thoroughly act what he wants.
Of course, it was far from resignation.
A warrior of iron blood.
A barbarian in this world where fists precede the law.
Barbarian.
Yes, if that’s me…
“Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
mind control!” I was afraid to finish the mind control.
“What are
you doing all of a sudden!” I don’t know how much it cost or how pitiful I looked when I got lost earlier.
The butler frowns at the insulting remark.
Seeing that makes me wonder why I put up with it.
Aren’t I a barbarian?
” !” With that in mind, I barbarianly picked
up a piece of meat next to me.
Is it like a
tomahawk
?
Goonie nodded.
But……
“……?!” His face stiffened
as he watched
me chewing on the bone .
Butler, I want to break your head.”
“…What?”
Words he’d never heard in his life. Seeing the butler’s suspicious expression on his face, I kindly added an explanation
. I feel like it!”
Agg-jak-jak.
While I was saying that, the bones of an unknown animal were breaking into small pieces in my mouth. ***
”
No, you’re joking.” ”
Are you kidding ?”
“I thought I was joking?”
The butler
‘s complexion turns white. He
seems to have realized it now. After all
, I am a barbarian. ” Did I sound like a joke?
” A barbarian is simply ignorant.
He might not have any knowledge about his physiology,
but…
‘If you’ve investigated my background, you’ll know what happened in the guild.’
Of course, there are excuses.
Back then, there was no other option.
Except for looting, non-payment of taxes, and a few laws related to nobility, most of them can be paid with fines. As long as you
prove that you are not a looter, you can cover the rest somehow. I thought it might be.
But that’s a story that only I know.
To others, I must have looked like a crazy bastard.
“……I have something to do, so I’ll go. Now, you rest.”
The butler hurriedly
left with an awkward expression, as if he had really investigated my background
. For the first time in my life , I knew that person could make such an expression!”
For some reason, my actions a moment ago seemed good to him .
“But is this okay?
”
“Look
at
that
! ”
What’s it like to look like a savage? If
only I could put down my shame,
there
would be no position more comfortable than this.
” Behel—laaaaaa!
”
I
also began to enjoy the banquet in earnest.
