193 Episode Bifron (3)
The third floor of the tavern where Tim Apple Narak used to gather.
Raven let out a deep sigh.
It was because of the presence of one person who was absent due to unexpected circumstances.
“Once we got together as promised, we won’t be able to pay properly after this.”
It has been three days since I returned to the city.
Raven went to Commelby alone on behalf of the absent leader and sold all the loot.
Its value is a whopping 152.4 million stones.
“Uh, billions?! It’s the first number I’ve ever heard in my life!!”
“Wow, that price really came out without the gear we brought?”
“First of all, it’s like collecting all the equipment of 7 mid-level explorers and selling them. Even the numbered item ‘Foxfire Knot’ only went up on the exchange and hasn’t been sold yet.”
“… I expected it to a certain extent, but it was just amazing.”
As soon as they heard the amount, the sound of a suffocating wind came out of everyone’s mouth.
Just the reaction I was expecting.
But why am I missing something like this?
Raven glanced at the empty seat once without realizing it.
‘I didn’t know when it was there, but it’s kind of boring because it isn’t.’
Bjorn, son of Yandel.
A barbarian warrior and team leader in the role of Guardian of Team Apple Narak. If he had been there, he would have been fighting a nerve war with the distribution ratio by now.
[Since it’s a special loot, you want 40% of the Manticore’s Essence value to be given to you? That’s a weird calculation. I don’t know if I won the dice that day, but since it was obtained from a Dwarf, it is correct to distribute it evenly.]
[Then how about 20 million stones?]
[I will of course give you the price of the test tube you wrote. But ask for 40% of the labor cost? In the distribution contract for special loot, shouldn’t there have been such a cost of labor?]
There must have been a conversation that looked like this, and then he would have presented a new compromise with a grin as he always did.
At the time, I thought it was for profit.

Maybe not necessarily… … .
“Aruru, what are you thinking like that?”
“it’s nothing.”
Raven brushed off all the clutter and finished the meeting.
“If there is no one who needs urgent power, first of all, I will keep this money until Mr. Yandel arrives.”
“Yes. yes and Ainar, because I can lend you money.”
“In addition!! Do I have to borrow it?!”
“I don’t have much money to pay back anyway. If I crave for nothing in advance, the calculations will be complicated, and Aruru will have a hard time. So, hold on until then. Understand?”
“I get it!”
“Hmm, did I say 20 days? It’s been a little over a week now.”
Raven had a strange feeling.
It’s the first thing he said.
But, is it normal to nod your head like this when you say you will keep more than a billion goods alone?
If you ask me, no.
Raven could not hold back the question that looked like a wizard and spit it out.
“Aren’t you all worried? I will keep it.”
“Yes?”
“worry? Why would you do that!”
It’s like asking all sorts of strange things.
I felt even worse.
I’m not saying it’s a bad mood by any means, but what do I have to say that it’s hard to pinpoint?
‘Is that why he used awakening magic at that time? … .’
In the past, when I heard the story from Bjorn, I thought that he was a really naive person.
That’s something a magic tower wizard would never do.
But I think I can understand the behavior a little bit now.
Not a lot, about 1%.
“Anyway, then today’s agenda is over.”
After finishing the purpose of the meeting, we ate together and chatted about various things.
Naturally, most of the discussion was about the absent team leader.
“Auruung, what kind of place is Bifron?”
“… … It’s a bad place. Even a noble person can only become ugly when he goes there.”
“That is what poverty and hunger are.”
“Did Urikfried have a time like that?”
“… … In the third year, I lost all my equipment. At that time, I only ate stone bread for the whole year, saving money and barely recovering. I remember paying too much tax.”
A little heavy atmosphere.

Misha carefully spoke out her concerns.
“Bjorn, are you okay?”
“What are you so worried about, Mr. Karlstein? I will have a lot of money and I will be strong. What’s difficult there? You are probably resting as if you were on vacation by now?”
“Um, that would be nice… … .”
Raven smiled and shook her head.
No matter what I said to the woman I fell in love with, it just seemed very pretty.
‘He was one year older than me… … .’
For some reason, I felt envious.
Will there ever come a day when I will be able to make a face like that?
It’s not easy to imagine right now.
As she stared intently, Misha turned her head in shame and pinched Ainar’s stern waist.
“Einar, stop eating meat and talk to me. Aren’t you worried about Bjorn?”
“… huh? Bjorn? Why are you worried about Bjorn? Bjorn is a great warrior! Without the law, we can live better!”
Truly a barbarian answer.
Normally, it was the right time to shake your head and say one word at a time, but surprisingly, everyone kept their mouths shut as if they had promised.
It was a simple reason.
“… … .”
I really thought it would.
Wasn’t he a guy who cleverly slipped around and did everything he wanted to when there were laws?
***
shout
Bigger than ever.
“Behel—raa!!!!!”
The place where I am currently located is the 4th floor terrace of the Old Gwansa of the 14th District Administrative Office. For reference, a total of 514 subordinates are lined up at once on the ground.
And they have one thing to do now.
Since I sang, I sang afterward.
“Behel-la!”
This is what I achieved after 3 days of coming here.
He became the boss of the ‘Western Union’ that occupied the western district of Bifron.
It wasn’t difficult.
Because where there is no law, it is natural and reasonable for force to become the law.
Oh, it’s just the sound of going in and smashing everything.
“Your voice is low!”
“Behel—raah!”
“Bigger!!!”
“Be, Behel—laah!”
While he had a subordinate, he also taught a barbarian-style battle cry, but he’s not at all cool. Is it because none of these people are barbarians?
It will take some time to be satisfied.
If someone asks a fundamental question, why are you teaching in the first place, I have only one answer to give.
I am a K-Barbarian who inherited the spirit of Hongik Ingan.
Of course, good things should be shared.
“Behel—laah!!!”
I didn’t like it for some reason, and when I squeezed the mace tightly, my voice got louder.
OK, this is enough.
“Then today is the end! Go back and play! Oh, don’t do anything that harms others!”
“Yes!!”
After finishing the regular morning assembly that took effect today, the subordinates were dismissed. There were quite a few people with broken legs and crutches, but they all managed to get out of the hall safely with the help of a colleague.
Then it’s my turn to start the morning slowly.
“I have the car ready.”
Upon entering the room, a jellyfish-cut man with the crown off his head bowed and served brunch.
Until yesterday, he was the boss of the Western Union.
For reference, I had severe circular hair loss, so I usually wore a wig, but I was told to take it off from now on.
Don’t you dare have a subordinate hiding something from the boss?
“It’s tea and bread… … .”
As I watched the breakfast laid out on the table, I couldn’t help but sigh.
“Are you kidding me? Bring me wine and meat.”
“Yes? Oh yes! I’m sorry. As I don’t know, I ate as usual—.”
“I eat breakfast like this, so my hair is falling out even though I’m young.”
“Hey, this is because of the witch’s poison!”
What did you say.
If that were the case, everyone here would have been bald.
“Don’t make ugly excuses.”
“… … .”
After waiting for a while, the table was served with crispy grilled meat.
As usual, I just ate it with my bare hands.
The hand leather itself is thick and has high flame resistance, so being hot was not a problem.
“You, what was your name? I can’t remember.”
“Hey, you didn’t ask… … .”
Is it treason?
As such thoughts came to mind, the guy realized his mistake and quickly organized his speech.
“This is Jinkasar Feljain.”
“It’s special. Where’s your name?”
“It’s a Southern style naming.”
Oh, my ancestors were desert people.
Somehow, my skin was dark.
“Hmm.”
I looked at him for a moment and pondered.
It’s Jinkasar Feljain. Isn’t the name too cumbersome to pronounce?
It needs to be reduced a bit for practicality.
Yes, first of all, Mr. Jing… … .
“Jing. Yes, it would be better to whine.”
“… Yes?”
“From now on, I will call you Whining.”
The answer came a long time later.
“… … … … … … Yes.”
“You have to put a boss on the back.”
“Yes, Boss… … .”
Jinjing didn’t like the new name he was given, but what about Ji?
If you twist, you win.
Or, I should have managed my subordinates well so that they wouldn’t quarrel with me.
“water.”
“Yes?”
“water.”
“Oh, yes!”
After eating, the antidote given by the knight was swallowed with water. It’s a pity that I don’t know the ingredients, but Raven guarantees stability, so it’ll be fine.
‘Sometimes it’s worse if you don’t eat it in the first place.’
Bifron is the area where the ‘guardian magic circle’ is broken.
The ‘witch’s poison’ that drove the world to an end is leaking even at this moment, and all the residents here are exposed to it.
For reference, the witch’s poison is radioactive.
As it is a fantasy world, there is one peculiar part.
‘Until the age of 15, it did not manifest itself, and after that, the probability of manifestation increased according to the time of exposure.’
To explain it a little more game-like, Bifron can be said to be a place covered with a random-type instant death board.
For adults, life expectancy after deportation is 8 to 9 years.
Even so, the ‘Guardian Magic Circle’ is half-working, so it’s a shame, if you go outside the fortress wall, you’ll die within a day.
‘Well, no one has seen it outside.’
The world outside the city is an unknown space to me.
The game was completely blocked by the system.
So, in that sense… … .
“I’ll fill you up too, let’s go for a walk.”
“… … I will see you by my side.”
I took the whistle and went for a walk.
Then, while walking in one direction, I asked questions that I was curious about.
As he was the head of a group, he knew more than the kid who gave directions on the first day, and he sincerely answered questions that might be a little strange.
They are giving their souls to match the game of the captain.
“If you have any more questions, ask anything, and I will answer everything that Jinkasar Feljain has.”
Well, it was obvious that I was lying on my stomach like that.
He’s going to leave after 20 days, so he must have thought that he could just give it a go during that time. Because if I hit the back of the head for nothing and fail, I’m sure I’ll get better.
‘Should I say thank you to that little boy?’
There was no such thing as a plan to take over the Western Union after being exiled to Bifron, but it was not done without thinking.
Like it or not, it’s a place where you have to stay for 20 days.
Rather, I decided that it would be less troublesome to have a seat in place.
There was something I wanted to find out personally.
Well, it’s not that there was no reason to be bored.
“But boss, where are you going? They have already entered the eastern realm.”
“Follow me.”
After the morning walk lasted more than two hours, Jinjing expressed his doubts.
“But if you go further from here, there is only the wall… … .”
“That is the destination.”
Why is there a wall with nothing on it?
Those eyes passed by for a moment, but Jinjing didn’t ask a question again.
He learned how to talk to me in one day.
Tub.
The street near the castle wall that we arrived at.
I climbed up to the roof of the building that looked the tallest and looked at the wall.
‘It’s the same here.’
As in other areas, soldiers were seen standing guard on the wall.
After all, I’ve always wondered about this.
Why are the soldiers looking over here and not outside?
“I do not know. Isn’t that just in case someone wants to go out?”
I asked a whining question, but only such an answer came back.
In fact, I only knew it was like that.
Everyone knows that in the first place.
However… … .
‘Is there a need for this in Bifron?’
After all, from the point of view of the royal family, it is good that they disappear. No, rather, if you die by the ‘witch’s poison’ while crossing the wall, it helps to gain the ‘justice’ of the royal family.
‘It’s strange, too.’
It was the contradiction I felt as soon as I arrived here.
Bifron’s ‘guardian magic circle’ is broken.
So, when you set up a sentry on the wall, you have to give the soldiers an antidote as well.
But are they wasting resources and setting up a sentry?
‘There’s something.’
I had such an intuition.
That intuition that made me discover so many hidden pieces.
However, looking up at the top of the fortress wall and thinking about Amman, there was no answer.
A plausible hypothesis came to mind, but… … .
There is still insufficient evidence to support this.
“Stop going back. I’m hungry.”
“Yes.”
He quickly looked away from the wall and turned his back.
But then, on the road down there, I saw a group of dozens of people.
“They’re the Eastern guys. They seem to have flocked to hear the news that we are here. What are you going to do?”
The words themselves seemed to ask the doctor, but the look in Jinjingyi’s eyes was filled with the expectation that I would crush the other side in the same way.
Well, it’s visible.
“done. Guide me back to our area. As much as possible, avoid encountering them—”
As I was about to step away like that, I became as hard as a stone.
It was because of the face of one in the East.
‘… … Amelia Rainwales?’
Why is he here?
😂😂 that w*oor witch always here
