195 episodes of bifron (5)
Auril Gavis. at least 150 years ago.
The other day, when I asked Raven for a specific year, ‘Gyun Hae-rok’ came out with a piece of paper written at that time.
That’s why it’s even more surprising.
‘… … Is that bastard alive?’
Of course I thought he was dead.
Of course, I don’t know why now.
He is the creator of [Dungeon and Stone], and he is the most likely to be the culprit who sent me and many other players to this world, and… … .
This place is literally a fantasy world itself.
There is, of course, the possibility of being alive.
Even the Yongin people didn’t live for hundreds of years.
pounding!
When I realized this, my heart was pounding.
It felt a little different from when I first heard the name.
A sound that conveys the meaning of anticipation, not astonishment.
pounding!
If only that bastard was really alive.
So, if only I could find him and meet him.
There may be a way to return to the original world. The clue of the vague ‘return’ appeared in front of my eyes for the first time.
‘… … Let’s calm down.’
I struggled to suppress my beating heart and found my cool.
That’s because it’s okay to inflate your expectations and turn the circuit of hope later, before going to bed.
It’s better to focus on the now.
“Barbarian, you are definitely unique.”
Amelia looked at me and said something meaningful.
For a moment, I wondered if the phrase ‘I just pretended to know once’ was found out.
However… … .
“Should it be said that the chatter is loud? How can you even joke about something like that in front of me? You… … Aren’t I scared?”
Now that I look at it, it seems that this is just weird.
Or maybe I’ve never met such a person in my life, so this kind of conversation felt a little awkward.
The important thing is that luckily it went well.
That’s why I have to live like a madman. So whatever you do, it doesn’t look weird.
“What do you mean, human woman? I am not a barbarian, but Bjorn son of Jandel.”
“Yes, Bjorn Jandel.”
Amelia grinned.
To me, it felt like a sign that I was safe now.
In that sense, the next question.
“But is he a man or a woman?”
“It’s a man.”
“Could you have disguised yourself as a woman?”
“Well, it probably wouldn’t have been. In the records, it was written that he was a man with severe male supremacy.”
“I’m not going to do anything like that regardless of my abilities. So what about a child? Can you disguise yourself like that?”
“… … I wouldn’t do it as a child too young.”
“On the basis?”
“Because he was a person who valued face.”
“Right.”
I nodded and asked softly.
“But why are you looking for him?”
The next question after finishing the easy question that has no choice but to answer.
I saw it in some book.
Does asking a question like this increase your chances of getting an answer?
Of course, it was uncertain whether it would work in practice, but… … .
That’s no reason not to try.
In fact, the answer came soon after.
“… … It is a personal matter.”
personal use.
It’s a word often used by modern people when drawing a line that they don’t usually want to say or don’t want to say.
It is also said when you want to look around.
But I don’t know what he’s saying.
[That you don’t need to know.]
[Why do I have to answer?]
Although he refused to answer the question in this way, he had never lied to pretend.
Is that so?
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
Maybe it’s not like Noark’s command, but I think it might be a really personal matter.
‘Well, it’s not that important now.’
Auril Gavis.
If it’s really in Bifron, we must find it.
Because the things I want to ask you are piled up like a mountain.
***
After the conversation, Amelia said she would stop by the city and return at night.
Is there something to do there in the afternoon?
At first, it was so natural that I nodded my head involuntarily… … .
“Wait, how are you going to the city? Is there any way to avoid the guard’s eyes?”
“There is a secret passage under the sewer.”
It would have been a pity if I hadn’t held onto it again and asked.
A secret passage to the city!
“Can you tell me that too?”
“Hmm.”
“What are you worried about? As if I had asked for something I could not afford.”
“… … Okay, I’ll let you know.”
When I hinted at my position that I was helping the search for ‘Auril Gavis’, Amelia gladly revealed the secret passage.
On the contrary, it seemed to be sloppy.
Does this mean that I no longer have debt?
‘I got a good thing thanks to you.’
A kind of pass that allows you to come to Bifron later if you want. Of course, I have no intention of using this passage during my exile.
It’s not like I’m the one who stands out either.
If you go out and get caught, things will get worse.
Isn’t that the only warning that the knight who brought me in?
You can do anything, but don’t just escape.
“Then go.”
“Are you going?”
“Didn’t you say you’d come back later tonight?”
“Yeah, it was… … .”
In order to receive the location of the secret passage, we went down to the bottom of the sewer together and saw Amelia out in front of it.
Then I checked the clock and saw that three hours had already passed since the assembly order was given. So, I asked the people around me for directions and quietly headed to the gathering place.
A dimensional square that was once bustling with explorers.
“Hey, do you know anything? Why did the boss call us all all of a sudden? What else are these westerners doing over there?”
“I’m not ‘hey’.”
“… … ?”
“It’s your boss.”
“What do you mean—”
“Reflections are not allowed.”
I made my way through the crowd to the center.
In between, members of the Western Union recognized me and greeted me.
“insect!!!”
yes this is it
“what… … ?”
The members of the Western Union kneeling in front of me, and the Eastern ones who only make vague expressions.
Still, it was easier to get to the center because the road was cleared.
“Did you come? Come over there.”
After reaching the center, he headed to the podium under the auspices of the reunited Jingjing.
Did you prepare in advance because you thought you would need it?
‘Hey, you’re doing a good job.’
For some reason, I thought it would be okay to take him outside and have him work as a butler.
There’s also a secret passageway, wouldn’t it be a waste to just take it here?
If caught by a guard, it won’t end with a fine.
It was when I was about to go up on the podium with that thought.
Quajiic.
The wooden plank stairs were smashed.
With such a thin plank, the weight of me and the equipment could not be sustained.
I couldn’t hide my sadness, I said.
“Jing-jing, how did this happen?”
“sorry.”
An apology spit out immediately without a single excuse.
I was relieved a bit, but… … .
The person who made this podium is obviously a barbarian hater. Otherwise, the design would have been strong enough for even a barbarian to climb.
Yes, that’s what it means.
“This platform is a harmful platform.”
“Yes. I will burn it down right now.”
Whining brought a torch and lit the podium.
When the liquid, presumed to be oil, was poured on top, the flames soared, and the three-story podium was covered in fire in an instant.
So it’s kind of like having a campfire.
Whoops-!!
It warms my heart like a warm fire.
There was no one around me back then, but what am I like now?
Aren’t more than a thousand subordinates together?
“Then what will you do?”
“The inauguration ceremony will continue as it is.”
“The founding ceremony… … . Yes, it was. So let’s put it all in one place… … .”
“Of course, you didn’t know?”
“sorry.”
I tapped Jingjing on the shoulder as a sign of forgiveness and then [jumped] high.
The destination was the rooftop of a nearby four-story building.
Aww-!
There was some incontinence on the roof floor, but luckily it didn’t break.
I kind of felt lucky.
If you jumped nicely and fell through the floor, your face wouldn’t make sense.
‘Does this mean that seats make people?’
Without realizing it, I try to maintain my dignity.
“Hmm.”
Anyway, as we headed towards the railing, the crowds lined up in the square came in at a glance and it was spectacular.
Now it’s time to start the inauguration ceremony in earnest.
“Behel—raa!!!!”
I speared,
“Behel—laa!!!”
The members of the Western Union, who were one day senior, immediately sang.
The eastern guys only blinked and looked at them.
What kind of crazy sight this is.
I clicked my tongue briefly.
“Twitter.”
I still have a lot to teach.
***
After the inauguration ceremony to imprint the face of the new boss on the members of the gang, I summoned Whining and Pak Pak to give them an order.
“Check the backs of everyone in Bifron. And bring me all the ones with tattoos.”
Oh, of course, women and children under the age of 14 who did not even pass the ‘certificate’ were excluded, and a total of 37 suspects were brought before me before the first day was over.
However… … .
“This is not a tattoo.”
Returning at night, Amelia shook her head after checking each one of them.
Yeah, it can’t be this easy.
In order to increase the efficiency, I quarreled with Jinjingyi, the deputy general of the ‘Behel-La Alliance’, and a lot more suspects were caught on the 2nd and 3rd day.
Of course, there was no one I was looking for this time.
Even as the quantity increased, the quality decreased.
“I think it’s a spot, not a tattoo.”
“That’s right. How did this happen?”
“I will correct it.”
Simply put, it means that he will also crave inferiors for efficiency.
Fortunately, I craved well, and from the next day onwards, there were fewer and fewer things that I would bring as tattoos.
Day 4, Day 5.
Two more days passed like that.
Again, there was no income.
In the first place, it was funny that such a simple and ignorant method could find a giant like ‘Auril Gavis’.
but what to do
‘You should try this. There is no other better way.’
Even if it’s like finding a needle in the desert, if there’s a chance that the needle will send me home, it’s worth giving it a try.
So, I continued my search.
Of course, I did change it up a bit.
It’s not a big deal, I added a ‘reward’.
“He who doesn’t meet his quota every day is a mental training that night.”
Some may ask how this is a reward, but human happiness is always relative.
Simply put, living better than others is a reward.
Wasn’t there a happy person in primitive times by eating raw meat and sleeping naked in a cave?
Day 6, Day 7, Day 8… … .
Since then, time has passed without a hitch.
However, there was no sign of Auril Gavis to appear, and I gradually gave up my expectations to some extent.
It would have been a lie if I said it wasn’t disappointing because it was the first clue I got for return… … .
The real reason I wanted to help him in the first place was different.
So I decided to focus on that.
None other than Amelia Rainwales.
What the hell is this girl doing?
Through ‘Auril Gavis’ as a point of contact, I got information by talking with Amelia, whom I met every day.
Surprisingly, he answered my questions well.
Although it was limited to information of low importance.
“I don’t eat food that contains wheat. My skin is itchy for some reason.”
Whether you have a wheat allergy.
If you have any hobbies, it’s like reading.
While he answered them without difficulty, he refused to answer the question of who the barbarian was and what had happened in the past.
“That’s not for you to know.”
“But I am curious. A woman like you must have been a great warrior to be embarrassed! Tell me who you were!”
“… … To be honest, I was a bit like you.”
Although he added a suffix to the end, it was not meaningful information.
Isn’t that the same barbarian?
There must be some similarities.
Anyway, did the hurdles go down a bit as the natural chatter continued?
“Why are you looting? To be honest, I don’t really get along with you.”
“You don’t like it?”
Amelia raises a question rather than getting angry at a question that might be a little sensitive.
I hit the prepared lines without difficulty.
“Since then, I have met many predators besides you. After that, I became a little more certain. You are not the one to kill for money.”
“… … That’s funny. What do you know about me?”
“I do not know. But, at your level, I know there are many ways to make money without looting.”
“… … .”
Amelia was silent for a moment.
And briefly explained the situation.
“… … I don’t usually do it.”
“Then then?”
“They… … I have committed a crime worthy of death.”
“You mean it was a personal grudge?”
“okay.”
Amelia looked into the air and answered, as if recalling distant memories.
I was curious about the deep circumstances beyond that, but I couldn’t hear what kind of grudge it was.
Amelia had come to her senses.
“I don’t know what I’m talking about.”
“Don’t be fussy about things that don’t matter. After all, it’s not going to break up in a few days. There are things I can say because I am someone else.”
“It’s something I can say because it’s someone else… … .”
Amelia, who had been pondering my words for a moment, smiled and got up from her seat.
“You are late. I’ll just go.”
“Are you coming tomorrow too?”
“maybe.”
Amelia disappeared from sight without showing a single sign as when she came.
So, are you here today?
I went out to the terrace to refresh myself for a while.
The night view of Bifron was completely different from that of the city districts outside.
Streets and buildings buried in darkness without a single light.
‘Now there are only a few days left.’
I sat on a rocking chair on the terrace, blankly organized my thoughts and looked at the darkness.
How long has it been since then?
I checked my watch and headed to the bedroom.
[23:57]
It was slowly time to go to bed.
Well, it’s going to take a while before I can fall asleep.
“The soul of the character resonates and is drawn to a specific world.”
Did everyone log in today?
Behel-laaaa
