Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 202

202 Blessings (2)

Dig two graves to set out on the road of revenge.

What the Confucius said

However, in the book I read, only that sentence was written, and it did not state what the intention was.

If so, what did Confucius really want to say?

The importance of commitment?

Or, just how self-destructive and dangerous is revenge?

As a 21st century me, I had no way of knowing, so I decided to interpret it in a way that touched my heart a little more.

Yes, Confucius knew.

When you try to beat someone, you have to be prepared to beat yourself up too.

‘But I guess he didn’t know that.’

I gasped and stared at the little boy.

The kid, who had been attacked by personal attacks from the first page, was staring into the air while losing his mind.

“What did you just say…? I don’t understand…”

No difficult words were used.

So, not being able to understand doesn’t mean ‘words’, but the ‘situation’ itself.

Well, isn’t it?

“Why, why don’t I have a mother!!”

The kid glared at me and yelled, and I asked briefly.

“So is there?”

“No, he died, but…”

The little boy flinched and wiggled his tail.

To be honest, I was a little perplexed too.

Hopefully, the answer to this question is ‘Yes’.

Of course, there was no problem.

“Also.”

I nodded as if I knew it.

Without a real mother?

So what do you mean?

Growing up without a mother is the same for Bjorn Jandel.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of the Yongin people, he is also young in appearance, and his actual age is probably older than me.

There is no reason to stop punishing the preemptive attack.

“Oh, but how did you know that…?”

“It smells.”

“Is it tea…?”

“Yeah, if I had a proper home education, I wouldn’t be able to tell such a lie.”

As I said it for granted, I heard the sound of grinding teeth from the kid’s mouth.

It’s a world without pads, but nevertheless, words related to family are inevitably sensitive…

Uh, isn’t this one?

“Apologize, Barbarian! Are you lying? I didn’t lie!”

The boy, who had recovered to a certain extent, burst into anger at being driven by a ‘liar’.

As soon as I heard it somehow, a corner of my heart felt cold.

How can you deny it with all that power?

Doesn’t it mean that he was so sincere when he said he was terribly ugly?

Had it been Bjorn Yandel, he would have been hurt.

However, this was also no problem.

A K-Barbarian with the Korean spirit of giving back with words when given back.

‘Cause that’s me

“I don’t even know that I lied…”

I looked at the little boy with sympathetic eyes.

“Oh, no way I didn’t even have a father—”

“I have! Dad is there! You crazy bastard!!”

The kid who interrupts me and shouts.

So, I ended up being tough at this point.

It must have been the realization that he could inflict a lot of trouble on the barbarians.

Besides, this is Yongin’s home ground—

‘Oh, but why is the elder standing still?’

Then, feeling the alienation, I looked back.

Then I saw a Yongin elder who was watching me with interest.

“Awesome.”

huh?

“This is the first time I have ever made Penitasaeaurus so angry.”

He’s too emotional for that.

Even at this moment, he is looking at me while breathing heavily.

However, I focused on another part.

‘sir?’

The elders added honorifics after their names.

In other words, the status of this little boy is a significant position within the Yongin people.

No, wait a minute…

“Maybe, is she a shaman?”

dragon maiden.

A position similar to that of the only barbarian shaman.

Simply put, ‘blessing’ can only be used by him.

“Oh, didn’t you know?”

“·················ogue.”

you should have told me

As soon as I slowly turned my gaze, the little boy was glaring at me with eyes different from before.

“why? Have you ever thought of apologizing?”

What appeared on his lips was an obvious ridicule.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to keep the attitude as it is.

“Child, why do I have to apologize?”

“…you said you wanted to engrave a blessing?”

That’s it.

But even as a shaman, it is not inferior to the chief dragon, Uncle Dragon. If OK comes from over there, he will have no choice but to engrave a blessing on me.

“That is a matter for the Ancient Dragon to decide.”

The little boy grinned at my words.

“Oh, my dad?”

“·················ogue.”

I froze as I was smiling.

No, was it Yong Uncle’s daughter?

***

A clan shaman and daughter of the Ancient Dragon.

Indeed, it must have been a tremendous status, and now I have erased the option of apologizing from my head.

That’s not barbarian.

Most of all, if you apologize, you’re acknowledging that it’s true that I’m filthy ugly.

“What are you looking at?”

“not really? Didn’t you look?”

After the kid’s shocking identity was revealed, me and the kid had a subtle fight in an awkward silence.

and how much has passed

“Both of you do that.”

The elder arranged reconciliation.

No, it’s true that they both scolded.

“Bjorn Jandel, what you said to the shaman earlier was very rude. This place where you are standing is the temple where our spirit dwells. No matter how barbarian you are, you need to be respectful.”

The elder pointed out my mistake in a calm and orderly manner and shifted his gaze to the little boy who was secretly smiling.

“It’s the same with the shaman who made a mistake.”

“···me too?”

“Bjorn Yandel is a guest of the Ancient Dragon and a benefactor of the clan. It was against etiquette to criticize someone with their appearance in the first place.”

“You didn’t lie, did you?”

“Sometimes there are moments when you have to be silent. Even if it is true.”

The little boy bowed his head in despair.

But it didn’t feel savory.

No, rather…

‘······what? Shall we return it?’

Silence even if it’s true?

I agree with you that you’re filthy ugly, but doesn’t that mean it’s wrong to say that?

“Then I have to attend the meeting, so I’m fine.”

Soon, the elder left me with throbbing bones and went back to where I was before.

I just stood there, so I just sat on the floor.

A suffocating silence began like that.

It was the little boy who opened his mouth first.

“Let’s talk.”

“···········?”

“You said you were an explorer? Do you have any interesting stories?”

“Why do I have to do this?”

The kid looked at me with an annoyed look at my question.

“There is power in words. And I have the ability to feel the nature of that power.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Ah, so you have to get used to the wavelength you have, so you won’t be able to engrave blessings later. Maybe that’s why Dad sent you here early.”

It’s the first time I’ve heard of a setting about the power or wavelength of words. But there was one part that caught my attention even more than that.

“You’re talking as if a decision has already been made.”

“If it had been refusal, you wouldn’t have come to this room.”

“Then, what’s the meeting you’re having over there?”

“Well? I guess you just thought it looked too easy to do.”

Well, I guess it could have been something like that.

“Anyway, say anything. You have to keep talking to read the waves. That way, the burden on your body will be a little less when you write a blessing.”

Unlike the first meeting, I was not used to it because it was too common sense, but I meekly followed the request.

“Any questions in particular?”

“From why I became an explorer.”

“You sound weird. We were born as warriors. If you don’t fight, you die.”

“Are you saying you have to do it because of the tax?”

Well, let’s say it out loud.

“Because we are not as good as you.”

“Oh, I see······.”

Yongin people do not pay taxes.

Because they played a big role in the war that took place thousands of years ago. On the other hand, the other races are struggling with taxes every day.

“I heard that they usually lend money to pay taxes on a racial level, but aren’t you a barbarian?”

I laughed bitterly at the question as if I was really curious.

“Yes, we are not.”

Dwarves are tax-reduced when they become blacksmiths.

The beasts and the fairies are financially able to help with the livestock and livestock work in the ‘Gnom Tree’ with their unique abilities.

So, until the second year, you can get a loan without interest, so you don’t have to pay taxes.

But, what about barbarians?

Just give me one weapon and that’s it.

‘If I become the chief of the tribe, I will have to repair everything by receiving donations.’

Calmly, the Barbarian was the most lagging behind.

Improvements are needed in many areas.

But did my face look bad?

“······ Since this is okay, then tell me about it.”

The little side turned the topic first.

“What about that?”

“Uncle… No, you said you fought a dragon killer?”

Oh, that.

At least that’s the only point of contact between the kid and me, so I slightly adapted what happened at the time and explained it.

I have removed the parts that may be unfavorable and not a big deal.

The way the ogre essence was obtained, or things that could be suspected as evil spirits.

It was an interesting enough story aside from that.

“Real Wobb Dwalkie……. It’s a name I’ll remember for a while.”

Like everyone who heard this story, the kid listened to the Dwalkie part the most.

In fact, when I got a response like this, I was proud of myself.

Because he feels like he is recognized by others.

“knife······. That’s how you got it You are truly ignorant. Anyway, so? What happened after that?”

After talking about the dragon killer, I naturally went to the part where I was looking for a new companion, and I heard a little interesting story here.

“I know that? Maybe my sister could have joined the team.”

You seem to be referring to the two-year contract ‘colleague’ that Mr. Yong suggested…

“Who is your sister?”

“Good. I can’t see you often because I’m busy.”

No, I was asking about how strong you are, not your personality.

It was something I was curious about, so I tried to ask a few more questions, but in the end I couldn’t.

Just in time, the visit was open.

“We quarreled, are you on good terms?”

Uncle Yong, who entered the room, saw us talking about dorando and grinned.

Thanks, I figured out one thing.

That elder, you didn’t tell me what I said to him. If I had heard of home education, I would never have made such a face.

“So, what are the results?”

“It came.”

Well, then, I’ll just tell you the result.

“How is it?”

“I have agreed to grant your request.”

“Right.”

I nodded and glanced at the little boy.

I wondered if what he said could be true. The results came out, and the hour-long meeting was just for pride?

‘Isn’t this the reason why you asked such a strange question in the first place?’

It was a time when such reasonable doubts arose.

Uncle Yong muttered softly.

“But there is one condition.”

“Condition?”

“I have confirmed through the Reatlas that you received the oracle. You will most likely be reunited with Regal Bagos… the Dragon Slayer someday.”

“Okay, go ahead and talk.”

“If you can kill him then, bring me the heart.”

“······heart? Why do you need that?”

Since it is a meaningful condition, I asked the reason first.

Then the answer came from the little boy.

“It’s because of me. When that happened, I was the one who cursed my uncle.”

“If it’s a curse…”

It was a curse to be accepted but not to be tolerated.

So Regal Bagos had restrictions in using dragon words, and he could not properly handle the dragon killer sword he had obtained while betraying his clan.

“Wait, but wasn’t that the curse left by the ancient ancient dragon?”

“It is not known to the public. It was actually our daughter who put the curse on it.”

“… it was.”

It’s like hearing the story of the Yongin people.

But, that’s not what’s important right now.

“So what does the curse have to do with the need for a heart?”

“In return for the curse, my time stopped just like that. I became a body that could not even take a single step out of this temple for the rest of my life.”

“If he has a heart, can he come back to normal?”

The boy did not answer my question.

Only the dragon uncle muttered lonelyly.

“At least, we believe so.”

I suddenly had a thought.

Maybe this was the reason why I offered to put my two-year colleague in the first place.

Follow me and kill the dragon killer when it appears so I can bring you my heart.

‘But then how old is he?’

At first I thought it would be a few years older, but now I see that it is not that many years old. Because the previous ancient dragon died more than 30 years ago.

Well, apart from his words and actions, he looks younger than his age…

‘·······It could be because they lived only in the temple.’

“So what do you do?”

“Okay, if I kill the dragon killer, I will definitely take the heart and bring it back.”

“Okay then.”

Since the conditions were not particularly difficult, he accepted the proposal without further negotiating.

So now it’s your turn to receive your rewards in advance.

“Then when will it be possible to engrave the blessing?”

“You can do it tonight if you want.”

The little boy answered my question.

“But before that, I have to ask you this. What blessings do you want to receive? Knowing that will help you prepare.”

“What are the blessings?”

Once I asked for confirmation.

Judging that there may be differences between the game and reality.

“I did not know? Of course I knew, so I thought you asked for this.”

“There is only one thing I know for sure.”

“okay? Then I have to explain the rest.”

The little boy gave an annoyed look on his eyes, but he explained each detail one by one with his mouth.

From what I’ve heard, there’s nothing really different about the game.

“The first is the Earth Dragon’s blessing.”

Earth Dragon’s Blessing.

When this blessing is engraved on the body, the additional stats obtained with Essence are increased by 20%.

The synergy is very good even with me, where the gang stats are important.

In fact, there is no type of poor synergy here.

“The second is the blessing of the volcano dragon.”

Volcanic Dragon’s Blessing.

If the first was stats, this was a series that increased the performance of all skills.

From my memory, it’s about 30%.

In other words, when this is selected, the size of the [Giantize] state also increases, and the performance of [Iron Leather] and [Swipe] is greatly increased.

“Finally, there is the blessing of the sea dragon.”

Dragon’s blessing.

Unlike other blessings, this was the only blessing that increased the fixed number.

Effect: Spirit +100.

Considering that soul power increases by 10 every time you level up until level 5, you will get a sense of how high it is.

If you choose this, the duration of [Giantization] will increase several times at once.

You probably won’t run out of MP until you eat a few more core essences.

“Okay, the explanation is over. So what are you going to do?”

Which of the three would you choose?

Afterwards, the little boy considered that he could give more if needed, but I flatly refused.

“Don’t do this.”

something has already been decided
