Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 215

215 cards discarded (4)

Said the knight who gave this ring.

Show me this and tell me what you’re talking about, and that’ll be your proof of identity right away.

Yes, I just said that.

“It’s a message ring. That too… Sir Garfizel, who went to search through the portal on the second floor.”

A knight recognized the ring before he even said who gave it to him.

And when he saw my reaction, he smiled.

“The message ring… … ?”

“Looking like you didn’t know what it was. Wait a minute. Now you will know whether what you say is true or not.”

As soon as the knight turned the jewel on the ring sideways, blue light leaked out and flowed into the knight’s body.

“… … .”

A knight who closes his eyes as if enjoying the afterglow and continues the silence.

His mouth opened about three minutes later.

“There is a corpse collector near the portal… … .”

In that single word, all the causality was drawn in my mind.

Shiba, that’s why it was a ‘message’ ring.

Somehow, I didn’t ask for compensation in the first place, but he gave it to me.

‘I understand why you gave it to me.’

An article named Garfizel wanted to convey information.

Using me, whom I met by chance.

Obviously, that’s why I gave you this information.

[If it’s a dark area in the center, are you referring to the place where the monument is located?]

[Yes, go there. If you can get there, you’ll be safe.]

It’s good if it’s delivered, and there’s no harm if it doesn’t.

Still, I wish I could have just been honest with you.

This is how I really feel.

‘Why are there so many bastards playing with people in this world?’

My taste buds get bitter, but… … .

The good news is, though, that this ring did a good job of guaranteeing identity.

“Little Balkan, Bjorn son of Yandel.”

A knight who has never given a full name calls my name.

“Are the doubts cleared now?”

“I’m pretty sure it’s not from Noark’s side. I’m a little curious as to how you just penetrated that road… … come in We’ll go to the Central Temporary Headquarters to discuss the details.”

“It’s good to hear you. Do you have any priests?”

There is no doubt that there is no priest, but he turned around and said that.

Fortunately, the article seemed to have figured out what he meant.

“Yeah, I need to get treatment first.”

The knight who looked at us nodded as if he understood.

It was a little surprising.

I thought he would be inflexible, saying that the investigation came first—

“Your comrades will take you to a makeshift hospital.”

“… … I?”

“Investigation comes first.”

Eheh, but what is this good enough for a yangban?

“I can bear it, so go and rest first.”

“However… … !”

Misha resisted my decision, but I stared at one place without a word.

A place where there is a patient who is more serious than me who has lost one arm.

“Is Daria okay?”

“Well, I don’t know. Raven did the curse-removing magic, but he’s still… … .”

“It will be better if you see the priest. So, go ahead.”

“… … I’m sorry.”

sorry what sorry

I smiled and patted Erwen’s shoulder as if he had committed a crime. Then he approached Raven and had a brief conversation.

“When I am not there, you are the leader. I know it’s hard because of the exhaustion of magic, but please do.”

“… … Don’t worry about the team. ‘Cause I’ll take good care of you No matter how hard it is, can only Mr. Yandel do it?”

Well, wasn’t that what the one-armed bastard was talking about?

“When it’s done, you follow me. My co-workers will take my men to the treatment center.”

“i get it.”

After that, I broke up with the party and followed the knight inside.

It was a different sight.

In the dark area where there was no light originally, all passages were lit thanks to the torches already installed.

‘It’s like a temporary shelter.’

If the outside consisted of knights and explorers who seemed to stand on guard, the inside was a little different. Explorers sitting or lying down in the narrow passage.

“By the way, is there no fog here?”

“Because I hit a magic circle for defense.”

“The magic circle for defense… … ?”

“Ah, I still don’t know if I came from outside. The mist is a poison-type dark spell. The risk is not very high because the scope is set wide.”

It’s a fog-type dark spell… … .

So, is it still [Feast of Evil]?

There was no problem with breathing, and the range was enough to cover the entire first floor, so of course I thought it was fog magic to obscure the view.

‘How many warlocks have you replaced?’

The spine is chilling.

What would have happened if we had gone to the outskirts of a sparsely populated area and made the decision to survive among ourselves?

‘… … I almost got fucked.’

No matter how low the power, the symptoms will appear after a few days of exposure. Perhaps it was only then that I realized the true nature of this fog and took measures.

The later it gets, the fewer options you have.

“Hey there, it’s good to rest, but it gets in the way, so stick to the wall.”

“Ah, yes… … . sorry.”

It was when I moved through such a narrow passage for about 20 minutes.

Finally, the central cavity appeared.

No, should this be called a square?

“… … How did you do it?”

“I used a wizard to break down all the nearby outer walls to expand the space. We can’t accommodate everyone in that small space.”

Huh, is this military-style civil engineering?

When people gather like this, there is nothing that can’t be done.

The cavity, which was about 30 meters in radius, has expanded to more than a hundred times in size. In the expanded terrain, barracks with the emblems of each clan were lined up.

“Come in.”

The knight took us to a large barracks located in the very center.

The flag of the Lafdonia royal family was hung at the entrance, and as we went inside, we saw people having a meeting over a round table.

‘This is a meeting of the leaders… … .’

It was a barracks for the royal family, but it wasn’t just knights.

Explorers with famous clan marks also attended and were talking hard.

By the way, some of them were familiar faces.

“Uh, you… … !”

A woman who is astonished as if she had seen a ghost.

I smiled bitterly and greeted him.

“See you again, Versil Gowland.”

I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.

***

“How are you here… … . Have you ever found a wizard that can teleport?”

can it be

Instead of answering, I waved my arm that was only the elbow.

Looking at his face, he seemed to understand what this meant.

“I really came through that road… … ?”

Versil murmured in disbelief.

It seems that we did not expect that we would break through the route they gave up head on, and even succeed.

“How did you do it?”

Well, I’m not proud of it.

Because I used a method similar to what he did.

Prioritize what should be thrown away.

“Sadam is there.”

While sharing the break with Versil, a man intervened and silence came.

Yeah, I mean, this guy is a big breadwinner here.

“Sir Ergos, who should be on the front lines, what’s going on here? Who is that barbarian next door?”

“I had to report something first, so I left for a while.”

“Tell me.”

“You have obtained Sir Garfizel’s message ring.”

“… … Sir Garfizel?”

“Yes. And this man is an explorer by the name of Bjorn Jandel, who gave me the ring.”

As soon as the knight handed the message ring, the man activated the ring.

and how much has passed

“Marco Elburn, serving as the commander of the 3rd Royal Knights Templar.”

A man looks at me and talks to me.

Now, it seems that the person behind me is also interested.

“I’m going to ask you a few questions, would you be honest with me?”

“… … Do it.”

“First of all, according to the contents of this ring, it means that the ‘corpse collector’ is stationed in the northern part of the goblin forest.”

At those words, some explorers said, ‘The corpse collector!’ He exclaimed, but it was not to the extent that it interfered with the conversation.

It wasn’t something I was concerned about right now.

“So what do you want to say?”

“Is this reliable information?”

“It is certainly. We ran away, but we fought for a while.”

“Fight, can you tell me what your team’s rank is?”

“… … 5th grade.”

When the rank was revealed, the knight commander gave a strange expression and touched his chin.

“If that’s true, it’s safe to say that he let you go.”

“Perhaps it is.”

I graciously affirmed.

In fact, it seemed that he was only interested in blocking the second-floor portal. If it wasn’t for that, I would have had to go through a lot of trouble to escape.

“The question is, is this the end?”

“No, one more thing. From what I just heard, you seem to have entered the path entrusted to you by Sir Ergos, is that true?”

“Yes.”

“I want to hear more details. Is there any way to get away from them?”

“If there was such a thing, do you think I would be like this?”

“… … That too. So can you tell me more about how you got here? It might be a reference for your strategy.”

It seems that it has been proven that I am not an explorer on the side of Noark, but there is no need to refute this and create a strife.

We talked briefly about the 20-minute blood battle.

But, did that alone convey how desperate we have been?

“It was an impressive story.”

The knight commander’s gaze changed to be more favorable.

The explorers of the clan who were listening to me were also looking at me curiously.

“You seem to have the qualities of a commander.”

“If I had the qualities, I wouldn’t be half dead.”

“That’s why I said that you show your qualities. Aren’t all your comrades alive?”

“… … .”

“A good commander is not one who makes the perfect choice. You are making the choices you have to make.”

I don’t think it’s sarcastic, it’s sincere, but it’s not something I really want to talk about.

Even if it’s a compliment, I’m not particularly happy.

I turned the topic.

“If there are no more questions, I want to go there soon.”

“Actually, I have one more question. The person we met last time, didn’t he have a scar on his chin?”

scars… … .

“there was.”

When I nodded, the knight commander smiled as if it was funny.

“I thought it was because he used an adamantium sword, but he was really a snake knight.”

“A snake knight?”

“He stabbed the master’s son he served and ran away. He’s a pretty famous guy, but it’s been so long ago, don’t you know?”

Somehow, he used an auror, so he was from a knight.

Seeing the explorers around him murmur, he must have had a reputation.

“Anyway, congratulations. Since you killed such a person, your reputation will increase.”

“It’s fame… … .”

“Why don’t barbarians like that?”

I’m not saying it’s wrong, because I’m different from the average barbarian.

Of course, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with increasing your reputation.

I’ll have to get permission to enter the Emperor Karnon as well.

However… … .

“If you come back alive.”

It won’t be too late to worry about that later.

It’s been less than a day since the labyrinth has been opened.

***

“Ah, you held the injured man on hold for too long. Come on and rest. Sir Ergos will tell you the rules here.”

Finally, he left the barracks. Then, under the guidance of the knight, he moved to a makeshift treatment center and joined his colleagues.

“mister!!!”

“What about Daria?”

“I was healed by the priest and I was fine. I’m tired right now, but I’m sleeping… … . Anyway, it’s all thanks to you!”

After receiving treatment for her older sister, Erwen became more active as before, probably because she had more time to spare.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha approached and removed Erwen.

“hey! Stop bothering me and get away from me.”

“yes?”

“What are you? Can’t you see Bjorn hurt?”

“ah… … .”

“Look where. are you okay? No other pain? In the meantime, I had a lot of trouble being called. Let’s go and show the priest the arm first.”

All of the injuries seemed to have been healed, so I followed Misha to the priest and received treatment first.

Oh, by the way, there was no cost.

It’s an exhibition right now.

All explorers must follow the royal instructions.

In the first place, this treatment center must have conscripted and gathered priests who were originally from other teams.

“For a day or so, you will feel less energetic than usual and feel foreign. Then there are so many patients. May the brilliance of the sun be with you.”

Arms that grew in less than a few minutes in a single heel.

Once again, the importance of the priesthood is felt.

If it was a top-notch potion, two or three bottles would have to be poured.

It’s not about splicing a severed arm, but… … .

This is because the potion’s effectiveness gradually decreases as the physical ability increases.

‘If you create a clan, you must first find a priest.’

After receiving treatment, he rejoined his colleagues and talked.

“Raven, did you hear about the situation here?”

“About receiving regional assignments.”

“Regional assignment?”

“This is where we are going to sleep. Looking at the map we received together, it must have been a passage on the outskirts. I guess it’s because I came too late. I think the safe inside is already saturated.”

At Raven’s words, I laughed silently.

There were only barracks of a large clan at the very center, but did they come quickly and were assigned to that side?

“Anyway, let’s go there. From tomorrow onwards, they are told that I will have to stand on the shift boundary according to the order of the day.”

Well, it looks like some kind of army came in.

As I looked around the rigid atmosphere, I put a question in my mouth.

“… … But where is Takelan?”

Takelan Arbenon.

A level 5 explorer who could be said to be the only survivor of this plan.

“… … .”

The moment I put the name of Takelan in my mouth, my colleagues hardened.

“Oh, he… … .”

Raven smiled and opened her mouth.

“I went there as soon as I was assigned an area. They say that solo or two or less explorers are handled in such a way as to make up for vacancies in the team.”

“okay?”

But why not just join our team?

The clan seems to go together.

In the beginning, there were a lot of groups that formed a team of more than 6 people.

When he raised such a question, Raven smiled awkwardly.

“You wanted it. So, don’t worry about Mr. Yandel.”

“If so.”

I thoughtlessly nodded my head.

‘Something happened while I was away.’

there was a case

I don’t know why you hide it from me.

You can ask Ainar or Misha about this later… … .

“Erwen, did you say you were joining the Blue Wall clan?”

“yes… … . I hate poetry, but my sister has to do it… … . They say there could be problems with the contract later.”

Well, a contract is a contract, but you would have thought it would be much safer that way. The Blue Wall is a clan that runs as many as six teams.

Well, one of them disappeared when I came here.

“Then we will go. You too, take care of your sister when she wakes up. Always be vigilant.”

“yes… … !”

After breaking up with Erwen, we headed to the assigned area.

It was a passage located on the outskirts, and the distance from the team located right next to it was less than 2m.

“It’s been a long time since I slept on the first floor… … .”

However, like explorers, we laid our sleeping bags on the floor without any complaints and laid down next to each other.

everyone knows it

Just being able to sleep like this is a situation that you should be aware of.

Droo much!!

Ainar snored while lying down.

I don’t know why, but listening to it reminded me of what I had to do.

You have to check the loot you got today, check the equipment that was covered in lava, and clean the body that was pickled with blood and sweat.

Oh, I’ll have to find out what happened to Takelan.

There is a lot of work to be done.

I’ve done so many things.

‘Oh, I don’t know, do it tomorrow.’

I close my eyes and the energy drains from my body.

It’s like sinking into water.

As my consciousness was slowly falling into the water, I heard Misha’s voice next to me.

“Bjorn, you’ve worked hard.”

Raven’s voice was heard from the other side.

“yes. You really worked hard.”

Abman also smiled and said a word.

“Relax, Yandel.”

It was only then that I realized it.

Droo much!!

The unusually long one-day car has finally come to an end.
