Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 148

148 Episodes The Great Legacy (5)

Sometimes there are days like that.

A day when the whims of a moment lead to unexpected luck. Amelia Rainwales, today was just such a day for her.

Who would have known

With a cramped heart, I would meet this guy on top of the fortress I climbed as far as I could.

“Regal Bagos.”

A member of the Orculis who divided this cursed city… … .

Among them, especially the one I wanted to kill.

The guy is stunned on the floor.

In this secluded place, here and there, with an undisturbed body, even alone.

‘… … Could it be that he opened the portal and escaped? So you fell here instead of in the square?’

That was the first possibility that came to mind.

There are no wizards on the Dragon Slayer’s team, but if you sacrifice the poor old man you always carried with you, it’s possible.

but… … .

‘Because I ran into some kind of enemy inside… … .’

Amelia erased the question that came to mind.

It doesn’t matter who pushed him to this point.

It is only important that the set table is in front of you.

First, she bent over and checked the pulse.

‘You’re still alive.’

About two hours after the labyrinth was closed.

Based on the circumstances, it is presumed that he had passed out until now. It’s a difficult time to endure normally, but this guy is no ordinary person. Perhaps the stick on the shoulder helped stop the bleeding.

“You… … .”

Then he opened his eyes and stared at her.

Apparently, he felt popular and came to his senses.

Before he could say anything, Amelia spoke first.

“Dragon Slayer, do you have any potions?”

“waist… … .”

“Right.”

Soon, Amelia untied the pocket on the man’s waist and held it in her hand.

and asked again.

“I’m going to pour a potion, can I pull out what’s stuck?”

“Come on… … .”

As soon as she heard his answer, she pulled out her skewer and started bleeding again.

If you leave it like this, no matter how much you call a dragon killer, you will surely die.

Amelia stood still and watched.

“What are you doing… … . Come on, Posh… … .”

Then the guy who felt uncomfortable asked a question, and she asked again.

“Why should I do that?”

“Gyeyagle… … Hatstede… … ?”

“Oh, you mean the contract?”

Amelia laughed involuntarily.

Long ago, she made a contract with the lord of Noark. It is a famous contract that everyone who lives in this city knows.

Within Noark, she cannot kill.

It is impossible to break the contract written on the flesh.

However… … .

“Isn’t it you who asked me to remove the skewer?”

She just listened to what she had to say.

Of course, it was the first time she had ever deceived like this, so she was skeptical, but if it had been a breach of contract, she would not have been able to act like this in the first place.

“net… … haryeon… … .”

Amelia put the entire pocket obtained from the gnome into the subspace.

And other equipment was stolen.

The dagger hung from the waist, as well as the ring on the hand, wrist guards and necklaces, etc.

They were all things I’d usually noticed.

“Thank you for dropping out here. these are good Oh, but who the hell did you hit?”

He did not answer her scornful question.

He just raises his eyebrows as if in anger.

Amelia also leaned her back on the wall and watched him rather than continuing to speak for a long time.

I was going to leave the seat after seeing him die for sure in case of an unexpected accident.

But is there still more of this guy’s name line left?

thump, thump.

Before long, you can hear the shouts of popularity from the fortress rangers from afar.

Amelia made a quick decision.

Everything the patrols see and hear is passed on to the Seongju. If you hear it, it’s over.

“You are lucky, dragonslayer.”

She rubbed her mouth as if bitter.

If this guy died, Orculis’ power would have diminished that much.

“You guys are going to be all over the place.”

Realizing that he was alive, he clenched his teeth and muttered.

I’m going to hold you accountable for this.

But Amelia only shrugged and narrowed the distance.

“Does not matter. You won’t remember anything anyway.”

“… … what?”

She pulled out one of the rounds and held it in her hand.

A phantom named ‘Lethe’s Blessing’ developed by an alchemist in Noark.

It has the disadvantage that it does not work against evil spirits, but it has a convenient function that you can erase memories by just feeding it.

“Raise it!! Whoops, whoops!!”

Amelia grabbed the struggling man’s chin and shoved it into his throat.

By the way, what I just wrote was not for supplies.

The higher the soul, the lower the efficiency, so I used the best one I had.

The alchemist said that a normal person could lose his memory for up to a week?

‘It would be better if the opponent was as certain as the opponent.’

I didn’t feel like it was too bad.

It’s not something you can get again just because you want to get it, but considering what you’ve got today, it shouldn’t be a loss.

In addition, the longer the memory is forgotten, the more advantageous it is.

I think I lost it in the labyrinth, I don’t think I ever thought that I was robbed in this underground city.

‘I don’t know who it is, but I have to thank you.’

Hearing the footsteps of the rangers getting closer and closer, Amelia quickly left the castle.

***

The number of use of the ring that blocks the dead flag related to Regal Bagos up to three times has been reduced by one.

Just before 10 minutes.

‘Isn’t it supposed to happen once a day?’

Anxiety that suddenly bloomed is painstakingly erased.

It’s not too late to file complaints when it’s time, and it’s because I think that’s really unlikely.

First of all, the name is not what the goddess said.

[You must be prepared to overcome fate in case all the stems of the ring are cut off.]

The goddess told me through the vessel to prepare.

Even though you know how big the gap between me and him is, I said so. But I don’t think he’s conscientious enough to say something like that for a month or two.

‘… … Yes, in the end, the most important thing is when the last vine will cut off.’

Recalling the proverb of Sammosa Cho, I calmed down my shaking heart.

It doesn’t matter how many you give in the morning.

What matters is the total number of acorns. In other words, what is the total duration of this ring?

‘Let’s do what we have to do.’

In that sense, he briefly talked about the bounty and left the temple. Would you like to pay the bounty when you visit again tomorrow?

“Then let’s go back today, each of us rest, and we’ll meet again tomorrow.”

As soon as we set up an appointment and were about to return to our dorm, a dwarf carefully caught us.

“Hey, I don’t know what you guys will think when you say something like this. If you receive a bounty, how about taking Dwalki’s share and donating it to an orphanage?”

“I… … It’s good though. It’s money I wouldn’t have received without Dwalkie.”

“So do I. In fact, it would be ridiculous for me to claim a share in this huge sum of money.”

Simply put, a proposal to donate 3.5 million stones to an orphanage. Unlike my colleagues who agreed to this without much thought, I kept my mouth shut.

Because that’s totally unreasonable.

Isn’t it even in the midst of a huge enemy called the Dragon Slayer?

If we are going to continue the maintenance of Dwalky, it is better to use this money to make us safe even a little bit.

“… … Bjorn, you didn’t have to. Unlike us, you’re not the one who suffered the most.”

“No, that’s right. We’re doing this out of guilt, so don’t be too burdened.”

When I was silent, my colleagues looked at me and said that.

If you just nod your head here, this suggestion is over.

However… … .

“Let’s talk about this properly next time we meet. You haven’t received any money yet.”

I put the choice on hold for now.

It was obviously an offer that should have been rejected at some point, but the word never came out.

After that, you have to be careful about relationships between people.

Because it is difficult to make a rational decision.

Obviously, if it was the me in the past, I wouldn’t have had to worry about this.

“… … Then tomorrow is guaranteed!”

Soon after, we parted and headed to our respective dorms.

I also walked for about an hour on a peaceful street to the inn, and washed my body stained with blood and sweat with clean water.

And while I was lying in bed, blankly, someone knocked on the door.

It was Erwen.

“Hey there, uncle? anybody home?”

When I opened the door, there was a woman wearing a fluttering skirt that seemed to have washed and groomed herself.

We chatted about something, but the main story was more of a chatter about what happened in the labyrinth.

Yes, this used to be a daily routine.

Normally, it would have been interesting to hear, but today it was difficult to do so.

“Erwen, you’re tired, so go home today.”

“yes? But this is the part where it gets really interesting… … .”

“Next time, I’ll listen to it again next time. You are tired today, so please go back.”

“yes… … .”

When he stubbornly gave the shout, Erwen returned with his pointed ears down.

Silence soon set in. In the midst of that, I had some alone time for a long time.

Well, if there’s a problem, you have to fix it.

‘Surviving.’

It has been the biggest goal given to me since waking up from this body, and this thought has not changed even now.

However, the process to reach that goal is a problem.

[······ Barbarian, did you keep your oath?]

He broke the oath of a warrior in front of everyone.

And as he led the team, he did countless things that made him feel strange.

At that time, I justified everything with the word survival, but I know. After all, trust was at the root of all his actions.

If there was someone who suspected me of being a demon, I wouldn’t have done such a thing even if I died soon.

[…] … Look! This friend, give me strength!]

The same is true for sharing the highest quality potions between Rotmiller and Dwalkie. It was an irrational choice that threatened myself beyond everyone else.

It wouldn’t be much different from what I was worried about before.

‘It’s 3.5 million stones… … .’

I slowly decided to admit it.

I became weak.

The cause is simple.

Because I have attached my affections to others.

A big problem arose in my rational thinking, which was my greatest strength.

I don’t know if I could live in this world. It is a problem that cannot be overlooked for me, whose top priority is to survive.

So what’s the solution?

“… … .”

I did not find the answer until the moment I fell asleep.

and the next morning.

I received one letter.

The sender is an administrative branch of the Explorers’ Guild.

The content was that he had been designated as the heir to the legacy of the Real Wob Dwalky, so he had to visit and collect it.

***

“Did you get it too?”

“Ugh, you too?”

The next day, the first conversation I had with my colleague.

It seems that all four of us received a letter from the guild… … .

Obviously, the orphanage was designated by Dwalky.

If so, how did this happen?

“… … Rather than talking to each other, I think it would be better to visit the guild and ask.”

As the dwarf had said, we all visited the guild together.

And as a result of hearing details from the relevant department, it was not an administrative error or anything like that.

Dwalky renewed his will and appointed four of us as heirs.

That was last month, so again… … .

“… … After fighting the trolls.”

Dwalki, who was nearly killed by a troll, returned to the city and renewed his will first.

He was already preparing.

The worst of the worst I never thought of.

That positive and hopeful guy.

“… … .”

Not only did Dwalky’s equipment and backpacks he handed over to the guild return, but also the one house he owned while he was alive.

“I owe him… … I don’t know if I’ll be able to repay it in my life.”

“If it were a Dwalkie, you wouldn’t want us to pay you back.”

“Yeah, he sure would have been. So let’s spend the money he left behind for whatever we want. If there is only one wish of that friend, it must be.”

After that, we headed to the temple and even received a bounty. The pope was busy and could not see him, and all the work was done through Krowitz.

I told everyone to go to the bar first, and then I chatted with him for a while.

“Can you promise to keep everything you say from now on?”

“You are welcome to speak. If you don’t go against the will of God, I will swear that I will not set foot on anyone’s benefactor’s words.”

It was a bit annoying to say that I was not against the will of God, but I took out my Akje longsword without much thought and showed it to him.

“… … It is the sword of a dragon slayer.”

“For some reason, when we try to use it, there is a rejection. Do you know the cause? If it’s because of the curse, I’d like to ask for it to be lifted.”

“The power of that object is not a curse.”

Krovitz continued to explain whether he had any knowledge of this sword or not, without a single blockage.

It was a long story, but the gist was simple.

The original name of this sword was Dragon Sword.

Only Regal Bagos killed the Guardian Dragon and ran away, hence the name Dragon Killer Sword.

“Since ancient times, this sword has only been used and wielded by dragons. They inherited the guardian dragon from generation to generation and enjoyed a life close to eternal life.”

“But he couldn’t use this sword properly.”

“Oh, it’s because of the dragon’s curse.”

The guardian dragon left a curse before he died.

As a result, Regal Bagos became a Yongin but not a Yongin. The dragon dragon, a characteristic of Yongin, was burned and peeled off, and even the heart, the basis of strength, was changed to resemble a human.

He committed a karma of betraying his clan in order to have a sword, but the thing was no longer usable.

“I know he’s been looking for a way to break the curse for a long time. However, after listening to Yandel-sama, it seems that there was no way to completely overcome the curse.”

“Anyway, the curse was not on this sword, but on him.”

“Yes that’s right.”

Afterwards, I asked how we should dispose of this sword, which we can’t use, and Krowitz gave a short answer.

“I think it would be wise to return the sword to the dragons and receive a proper reward.”

Yes, that’s the only way.

Since it is a sword that can only be used by the Yongin people, it must be difficult to sell it for sale.

I’ll try to think about this part step by step.

“Right. Thanks for the advice.”

“It was nothing. Yandel is a benefactor of our school. If you need my help, feel free to visit me.”

“Oh, so does that mean that we can receive blessings for free in the future?”

“Haha, that’s a bit… … .”

I asked, just in case, but Krobitz smiled awkwardly and drew a straight line.

I’d like to give it to you, but I heard there was one more oracle this morning?

“The Twilight Star has told me not to try to go against it by twisting my will, for everything will go according to order.”

For some reason, it felt like a goddess was saying this to me.

I’ve paid off my debt by giving away one holy thing, so don’t even think about tearing it apart.

“Nevertheless, it is always possible to listen to your concerns, so please come to me when it is convenient for you.”

After Krovitz’s religious words, I left the temple.

Then we headed to the tavern I had already told you about.

“Oh, are you here too? Sit down.”

All three were already drinking.

However, the atmosphere was very different from when I usually finished the expedition.

No laughing or talking, just drinking.

I felt it again.

We’ve made more money than ever, but we’ve lost more than ever.

‘The window seat is empty.’

That table at the bar where five people came.

But empty chairs that will never be refilled.

However, we did not mention it at all and had a real conversation.

“We’re going to divide the rest of the money, including the bounty, into exactly four.”

“Yes.”

At first, the dwarf who was going to divide it into five and donate it to the orphanage just nodded.

It was somewhat expected.

The reason that such a proposal was made in the first place was to respect Dwalky’s will.

If he wanted us to spend his precious fortune, we would just follow his will.

Everyone, including the dwarf, quietly drank in memory of Dwalki.

So I just spent my time like that.

“So, I wasn’t the friend to go with… … .”

The dwarf, who had been drinking a glass of wine, banged his head on the table first. So Rotmiller left to pick him up, leaving only me and Misha.

“Bjorn, we’ll go back… … .”

As usual, the two of us walked together and headed home. Misha stumbled due to drinking too much.

“Look forward.”

“Ah, thank you.”

It’s still a sunny afternoon.

We made our way through the bustling streets, wafting the smell of alcohol.

As usual, my dorm came out first, and now it was time to part. But the two of us stood still, looking at each other in front of the door.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The air was strangely hot, perhaps because of drunkenness.

Yes, I would have thought so if I had been.

Because that’s a lot more comfortable.

Because it fits my topic.

It would have passed like a barbarian, pretending not to notice.

However… … .

“ah… me, i’ll just go rest-“

“Mischa Karlstein.”

I grabbed her, who was trying to turn her back, avoiding her gaze first.

That’s because I made an appointment with him.

[You are not smart. Please don’t look away any more.]

The boy told him not to turn away.

During that precious time when he was able to reveal his heart to Misha, he left me such words.

And I said yes to that.

so… … .

“Yes?”

It’s time to bump

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, holding my wrist, looks at me with a questionable gaze.

After I cleared my breath and let out the intoxication once.

said bluntly.

“Are you sure you like me as a man?”

It wasn’t romantic, and it wasn’t romantic at all.

Just like a barbarian, he spit out the words.

But Misha was not angry.

He didn’t even laugh at what was weird.

He flinched for a moment, then turned his gaze to the ground, avoiding my eyes. However, Misha, who had been dragging the ground with her feet several times, raised her head and looked up at me.

And he replied a little.

“… … yes. i liked it As a man.”
