Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 206

206 Episode (2)

[Long live, Miss Rainwales.]

Amelia, who received a call from the city through the crystal ball, tilted her head involuntarily.

It’s because it wasn’t the voice of Seongju in his memory.

“… Old alchemist?”

[Chuckle, it’s an honor to hear your voice and recognize you.]

“… How did your grandfather become able to use your contact network?”

[I asked the Holy Lord. I have something to ask of you, please let me tell you. Isn’t that comfortable with each other? Hearing the voices of both sides.]

“I did.”

It’s not something I can’t understand.

Because the alchemist is more important than the lord of Noark. If my grandfather asks for it, I have no choice but to listen to it as a Seongju.

Amelia hurried to the point.

“So what are you asking for?”

[Oh, it’s nothing. Are you doing better than that?]

“… You would know that those words don’t suit me.”

[You still haven’t been able to shake it off?]

Amelia kept her mouth shut, avoiding an answer.

Grandfather, whom I had a relationship with since childhood, is one of the few people who know her true story.

[Miss Rainwales, I have some guesses as to the reason for accepting this mission. But, slowly shake it off me. Obviously, my older sister is more than just revenge—.]

“stop.”

Amelia muttered coldly and stopped talking.

“Stop talking about that, only the dragon.”

Those left behind have their own work to do.

Regarding that, no matter how old I am, I don’t want to be interfered with.

[…] I see. Then we move on to the dragon.]

Afterwards, the alchemist recited several necessary items, and Amelia wrote them down on paper so that they would not forget.

Most of them were alchemy materials such as magic reagents.

There is nothing special, but things that are difficult to supply in the closed Noark.

[How long will it take to get them all?]

“A few days is enough.”

[okay? So, could you possibly get me some of the sleeping lily flower powder a little earlier?]

“If that’s the case, I can send it to you right now.”

[Oh, did you have any?]

“… You did it because you knew.”

Sleeping prickly pear powder has a sleeping pill effect.

The effect is not very strong, but she uses it often because it has the ability to pierce poison resistance.

Not the enemy, but yourself.

“I will put you in the two-way subspace as soon as we have contacted you.”

[Chuckle, so today’s business is already over?]

A grandfather who smiles with a look of regret.

Amelia, who was about to cut off contact, suddenly stopped at a question that had arisen.

“by the way… Where do you need sleep lily powder?”

Even though Amelia asked that question, it felt awkward to herself.

It’s a question I wouldn’t normally ask.

She seldom questioned others first. If it was just a curiosity, even more so.

However… … .

“Isn’t there very few alchemy recipes that contain sleeping flower pollen?”

Today was something different.

I feel like I’m missing one important thing.

[Oh, that?]

Before long, Grandpa’s voice came out through the crystal ball.

[Dragon Slayer, Regal Bagos. I’m going to use it to heal that friend. Oh, I don’t use it to make medicine, so it would be more convenient to put it to sleep before that.]

“… Is there any way to get the memory back?”

[It’s not like that, I’m going to heal my broken body first. As you know, it is a situation that requires even a little bit of power.]

“Right.”

Amelia let out a breath of relief without realizing it.

As long as the memories don’t come back, whether he recovers or not, it won’t have any consequences for him—.

[Chuckle, I plan to bring back the forgotten memories when the broken body recovers.]

Amelia stiffened.

[The method was so radical that it was hard on my body right now. Well, because the sample is too small, the success rate is probably only about half.]

50% success rate.

That possibility is infinitely small to be left to luck.

However, there were no major problems.

Isn’t it a problem if the body doesn’t recover?

“Right.”

With those words, Amelia cut off contact.

And, as promised, I put the powder of sleeping lily in the two-way subspace.

By applying a poison that destroys living tissue when taken.

***

The second vine broke off.

I’ve been quiet for a while and put my mind at rest.

‘What the hell is this bastard doing?’

A sense of impatience is coming from somewhere.

Well, I’m not ready to meet him yet.

Although he achieved growth in many areas, he only became a fifth-floor explorer from a fourth-floor explorer.

But now there is only one left.

‘6th floor. You have to go to the sixth floor as soon as possible.’

If you go to the 6th floor, there is a possibility that you can eat the essence.

My second core essence after [Giantization].

If you get it, you can try to rub it with him somehow—.

“mister!”

huh?

“What are you thinking about?”

Hearing Erwen’s voice, he woke up from his thoughts.

Is it because the peaceful time has been so long?

It’s not the last, it’s just the second vine that has been cut, but since then, uneasy thoughts have bloomed in my head without ever trying to complicate it.

“sorry. How far have you been talking?”

“Not talking, I was asking what to order… … .”

“Oh, it was.”

After looking through the menu, I ordered a suitable snack and beer.

“But nothing has changed here.”

Seeing the staff returning after receiving the order, Erwen murmured. He knew what he meant without even asking.

“We have changed a lot.”

The place where I am now is a tavern called Faidenpus, where I drank the return wine after completing the first expedition I met with Erwen.

So I just keep getting a weird feeling.

Barbarian, who suffered all kinds of trouble on the first floor because he had no friends at night, became quite a famous explorer in the city.

Although he did not gain fame, Erwen also continued to grow tremendously even after completing his first year.

Looking at the changed equipment, the change is clear.

“Isn’t this the first time you even drink alcohol?”

“Ah, when you paid your first year’s taxes?”

By the way, it was just after we had just moved.

So I came here after thinking about where to meet.

It was obvious that Misha would hate it if I invited her to her house.

First of all, it’s a common space where three people live together, so I can’t do it my way.

“Did anything go wrong on this expedition?”

“… Yes, it’s the same as before.”

After the drinks and snacks were served, we started talking in earnest.

The main topic was each other’s recent status.

Unlike in the past, where we used to come to play every day, the number of contact points has decreased, so now there is no common topic other than this.

“How is the atmosphere in your clan? I’m curious about that too. Do you have any news or something?”

“I do not know? Even if you don’t tell us… … .”

Sister Erwen, who had joined the clan she knew with her as a mercenary, was still exploring the labyrinth with them.

For reference, the activity area is on the 5th floor.

However, we only hunted in Hellfire Canyon, so we had never met in the labyrinth.

“Anyway, I’m going to die of annoyance. Did you say that before? There are people who constantly tease my sister. Do you even do that to me these days?”

“It’s been a lot of trouble.”

“Yeah, I can’t put an arrow in my forehead because I’m an executive level… … . just have to be patient Until you get everything you want and leave.”

The more we talk, the more I realize that he has changed a lot.

It has been a little over a year since I became an explorer.

However, the feeling of ignorance of the world as before was completely erased.

In a way, it was natural.

One year in the labyrinth was enough time to see everything.

“Anyway, tell me now. Do you have something to say?”

“Oh, that’s… … .”

It was thought that the seat was ripe to some extent, and when we went to the main point, Erwen paused for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Remember? I said that I still have a lot to learn from my sister… … .”

“I remember.”

I even said that I would suck it up and join my team within half a year.

Well, it’s been more than half a year since then.

I never had to mention it in the first place.

There’s no place on our team anyway… … .

“I thought he had changed his mind because he hadn’t said anything until now.”

I only knew that the story was over.

But wouldn’t that be the case at all?

Erwen has been denying my words with all his might.

“Hey, hey, what are you talking about! I can’t do that. We are first night friends!”

Strictly speaking, my first night friend was Hans A.

He was a Hearts Young or something.

“So what do you want to say?”

“that… I think it will take a little longer.”

“What does that mean?”

“Everyone is in 5th grade, right? I don’t think there’s any room for me to squeeze in right now… … . In fact, it seems that there is no hope now… … . Oh no, now we all go to the same house, we live together… … .”

“What do you mean? Don’t mumble, speak straight.”

At my words, Erwen gulped the remaining liquor from the glass.

“I’m sorry. at that time… Why didn’t you accept it when your uncle suggested it? I thought we could close the gap soon, but it only widens… … .”

It is a word that is closer to Hanpuri than it is for a purpose.

But, I think I know what you’re trying to say.

He wants to join our team, but he probably couldn’t ask for one of them to be removed.

Because the specs aren’t even better than the current members.

Well, I guess I didn’t change my mind for the first time though.

“Anyway. So, what I want to say is… … .”

“stop.”

I stopped talking on the way.

There was one misunderstanding that had to be cleared up first.

“I didn’t mean to put you on the team now.”

“… yes?”

For an instant there was silence.

It was only a little later that Erwen’s pupils were blankly fixed in the air.

“Hey, what do you mean by that? You obviously didn’t say anything back then, did you? I, I thought it meant positive… … .”

As if his mentality had gone out, Erwen’s gaze could not stay in one place and swayed here and there.

Well, I didn’t mean it that way.

Before the misunderstanding escalated, he just cut it off.

“Erwen, I will form a clan.”

“Hey, clan?!”

“Of course not now, it will be a few more months. If that’s okay with you, I’d like you to come in—”

“like!! Come in!!”

The answer came before I finished speaking.

“No, but let me explain in detail—.”

“it’s okay! I’m going in anyway!”

“… If so. Anyway, this is a secret. I haven’t told anyone on my team yet.”

“Uh, so this is the first time I’ve made this offer… … ?”

huh?

I tilted my head.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

I didn’t even tell you to create a clan, how do you make a proposal? In the first place, Misha and Ainar don’t even need to ask a doctor.

Raven, who belongs to the tower, is probably going to refuse.

I don’t know about Mr. Bear.

‘The clan seems to have some bad memories.’

That was the time I was thinking.

“Heh heh, heh heh!!”

Erwen began to let out a strange laugh.

***

The drinking party with Erwen, which started in the early evening, continued longer than expected.

Originally, I was going to close my position after hearing about the current situation in addition to the business that summoned me, but… … .

“What? The clan master is bald?”

“Yes, because it is. How hard it was to hold back my laughter when the wig came off while hunting.”

Today’s conversation with Erwen was interesting.

Is it because you haven’t been drinking for a long time?

It’s nothing, but why is it so funny?

‘Ah, the kids will be waiting at home… … .’

I had such thoughts along the way, but every time I did, Erwen brought up an interesting story, so I couldn’t get the timing to get up.

But now it’s really time to go back.

“Hey, ours—.”

“Oh right!”

“yes?”

“Did I mention that I ate fresh water this time?”

what? Did you eat purified water?

Isn’t this something you can’t get past without hearing it again?

“It’s a very unique ability. It fits me well.”

“Stop being lazy and tell me. What did you eat?”

I adjusted my posture and sat down again, concentrating on Erwen’s words.

First of all, it was a 5th grade integer.

As it was recommended by my veteran older sister, I got along very well with the bow fairy.

‘You don’t have to delete this later.’

When I return, I think that I will have to plan Erwen’s upbringing route to some extent, and I asked him about the essence he had learned this time.

“Wow, you know that? My uncle’s eyes suddenly became dazzling.”

that’s natural

Anyway, I was the player who loved this game more than anyone.

“Isn’t it Jeongseon who is often said to be so unique? I can’t help but wonder what it feels like in reality.”

“Still, I am not sure how to explain this. I can’t show you in person… … .”

Well, that’s right.

It was the car that I understood and nodded my head.

“Hey, that’s why… mister.”

Erwen wiggled his tail and glanced at me.

As if he was drunk, there was a red glow on his face.

“Would you like to go upstairs just to see the special abilities for a moment?”

… What do we do?
