232 episodes New Age (2)
A very, very, very, very large reward from the royal family.
I haven’t heard the details yet, but I’m already starting to salivate.
But in my experience, this is the most dangerous time.
Isn’t it the tacit rule of the world that once you receive a gift, you give it back one day?
You need to make sure it can be swallowed.
“What exactly is the reward? What do I have to do?”
Kyle kindly answered all my questions one by one.
Compensation has not yet been specifically determined.

Moreover, it is said that it is not only me who receives the reward, but all the survivors of that day.
Did you say that sooner or later, you will be invited to the royal castle to hold a comfort party?
“What I can say with certainty is that there will be a rice paddy trade there, and your work will be severely punished.”
“Right. Do you have any guesses?”
“It’s not like there isn’t… … .”
Kyle shrugged and recited the expected rewards one by one, asking them to listen, considering that they were his own.
“The first is a title.”
noble title.
“Of course, the chances of even being awarded a title are very slim. Even if it comes down, it probably won’t be a title of succession. There will be no fiefs.”
I don’t expect too much either.
That’s what the nobles of this world are like.
It’s not something you can do just because you’ve hit the ball once or twice.
Well, if we were to predict, at most, it would be possible to enter the ecliptic at best.
“The second is Jeongsu. The royal family said they would even open a golden wedding report, so you can look forward to it.”
A treasure chest of the royal family in which up to 3rd-grade essence is stored in the Golden Soul Report.
“The third?”
“Equipment.”
“The most typical.”
The third expected reward was high-level equipment or number items. The fourth was just money.
“Probably, except for titles, the rest is likely to be properly distributed according to the ball.”
I think you know roughly what you’re talking about.
Those with few balls give roughly money and it’s over.
Those who have made significant contributions to equipment or level 5 Essence.
‘Up to a maximum of 3 grades depending on the ball… … .’
This, my saliva is starting to flow more.
Level 3 Essence is a higher Essence that can be farmed normally when you reach the 7th and 8th floors.
But can you even choose what you want?
It is clear that my growth, which had stopped for a while, will accelerate.
However… … .
“So what does the royal family want from me? I haven’t said that yet.”
I haven’t heard the most important information.
What should I give in return for this gift?
Obviously, sooner or later, the royal family will also try to restore the trust of the people by taking down Noark.
If I enlist in the military and want to participate in the battle, it is right to refuse the reward, no matter how attractive it is.
“It’s nothing big. All you have to do is show that you are friendly to the royal family at the time of peddling. The rest will be taken care of by the royal family.”
“… … It’s an easy but difficult request.”
Kyle smiled bitterly at my answer.
“After all, the royal family doesn’t look so good in your eyes.”
I responded with silence.
“… … .”
Anyway, how can you look good?
Without even trying to find other measures, I went looking for an easy way, but in the end it all worked out.
“Still, let me know that everything that happened that day was not the will of the royal family. Even among the Royal Knights Commanders, the values pursued are different. It would have been a different result if another general had been there.”
Kyle spoke as if he was defending it, but nevertheless, there was no feeling of uneasiness.
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
Maybe it was the responsibility.
It felt like betraying those who fought together after being abandoned by the royal family.
It feels like changing jobs to a minion during the period of strength.
I asked one carefully.
“… … What do you think of the royal family?”
A question that could be blasphemous.
Kyle flinched and then replied with a smirk.
“Honestly, it doesn’t look that good.”
It doesn’t seem like it’s just setting it up in front of me.
First of all, this guy wasn’t like that.
Still, I didn’t know that a level 3 war mage would say something like this… … .
“But the royal family is what the world needs to survive. Well, that’s not what I’m talking about, who enlisted in the military with his back to the tower for self-interest.”
“lust?”
“If it was you, you already noticed. Annihilator, my relationship with that old man.”
Well, it is.
“Can I ask a little more detail?”
“He is the enemy of my master. One day, I harmed the person I was studying with and managed to complete the forbidden magic.”
“So you enlisted in the military for revenge?”
“That’s right. As soon as I heard that he had entrusted himself to Orculis, my eyes went dark. There was nothing I could do alone.”
As a young Kyle, he decided that he needed the help of the military and the royal family to get revenge.
So he went under the royal family.
Judging that the enemy of the enemy is an ally.
“So, don’t think too hard about it. What if you don’t like it? If there is a part to use, it would be reasonable to use it.”
Kyle’s advice was a hundred times correct.
Realistically, what would I do with the royal family?
The same goes for other survivors who have bad feelings for the royal family.
I’ve been through so much, but I’ve got to get something.
“You look a little better.”
“Thanks to.”
“The time for the next appointment is slowly approaching. I’ll just get up and see.”
“Thank you for coming. Your body is like this, so go out alone.”
“Haha, then, did you even want to see me off? All right, rest. You will be busy.”
“Are you busy?”
At my question, Kyle, who was heading towards the door, turned around.
and… … .
“You’ll find out soon.”
He left with a meaningful smile.

The day after Kyle left, there was a visitor.
It was Raven and Uncle Bear.
“Once everyone is resting, now we can settle the loot.”
“Isn’t the first thing to ask if your body is okay?”
“It looks fine just by looking at it. And it’s you who rolls your body so ignorantly, do we have to worry about it again?”
Uh, is that so… … ?
As a tanker for some reason, I felt sad, but it went away with the next words.
“Then please stop hurting me.”
harshly spit-out words.
However, he continued to say that he was ashamed of doing it.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Karlstein? It seems like I do all my back and feet on my own every day.”
“Uh, me? I’m fine… … . Well, I hope you don’t get hurt though… … .”
“The problem is that Mr. Karlstein is too kind? If I leave him like that, will he not be able to die under my name?”
“… … That’s it, let’s solve the problem first. loot settlement? Have you ever sold all your equipment?”
“yes. I’m really tired, but I was forced to put up with it and sold it, so thank you.”
I heard that Raven is on the first day of returning to the city.
So it seems that as soon as the investigation was over, he went back and sold the loot without a break.
The reason for selling in a hurry while being too unreasonable was simple.
“That’s right, if you sell it quickly, you won’t be able to sell it even a little higher.”
There was a huge loss in the total explorer population.
It is a self-evident fact that the price of equipment will fall as demand has decreased. Besides, 99% of the loot the survivors bring back is equipment, so there’s going to be an oversupply?
“Thank you. I didn’t even think about it.”
“… … In that situation, if you can think of that, then Yandel-san is a superhuman or a barbarian, right?”
Well, just one word, ‘Tell me something.’
“Aruru! What do you mean! Bjorn is a Chobavarian!!”
What is he again?
Could it be that this expedition was too depressing? I can’t get used to this everyday noise.
“Then let’s all sit down.”
Before the introduction got too long, I organized it and sat my colleagues on the couch.
And the loot settlement began.
It didn’t take long, thanks to Raven putting everything together.
Just listen to the settlement details and get paid, and you’re done.
It was a time when the settlement was over in an instant and we spent time chatting with each other.
Uncle Bear brought up a new topic.
“Oh, by the way, I don’t know if you’ve heard that I stayed home all the time. Yandel, you have a new tinnitus.”
“Oh, really!”
Starting with Ainar, who was very excited, Misha and Raven all looked curious.
Raven didn’t know about it, so it doesn’t seem like it’s widely known yet… … .
As a pub manager, this kind of information seems to be fast.
‘It’s a new name… … .’
So am I getting out of the little Balkans now?
“What is it, please tell me quickly.”
“Fufu, what do you think it is?”
Uncle Bear, who cares for answers as if he enjoys attention.
Various speculations arose among my colleagues, and soon Uncle Bear asked me for my opinion as well.
“you? Yandel, do you remember anything?”
“Well, I hope it’s not a big Balkan, please.”
Unsatisfied with my reaction, Uncle Bear slightly licked his lips and told me my new nickname.
“Giant 巨人.”
“yes?”
“It’s a giant. Your new nickname.”
Well, it’s simpler than I thought.
So, now you are the son of Giant Yandel, Bjorn? While we were laughing out loud with vain thoughts, Misha recited a review.
“It’s a match that suits you. It also shows [Giantization], one of the essences of Bjorn.”
“Am, I immediately thought of this as soon as I heard it. ah! But why did it have such a nickname before? Wasn’t that essence there back then?”
Uncle Bear, who was smiling happily, raised a question.
It was Raven who gave the answer.
“no. I heard it was there too. Would it have changed a lot more than it is now? Right?”
I nodded.
Actually, back then, I borrowed the [Unclean One] owned by Misha’s older brother as the vampire’s skill [Master of Blood] and it was 1.5 times bigger than it is now.
But in the end, the nickname was ‘Little Balkan’.
“Hmm, was it bigger? Then why did you do that?”
Uncle Bear tilts his head as if he doesn’t understand. Again, the answer came from Raven.
“Somehow… I guess I know.”
“yes? Do you think you know?”
“yes. certainly… At that time, it must have not been this big in the eyes of people. Yandel’s back.”

My face was warm when I heard it.
Especially since everyone is taking it seriously.
“The body was small, but it looked bigger… … . Yes, that could be it.”
“Yeah, I think you know what I mean.”
“Bjorn is a great giant!! I’m sure someday I’ll leave the biggest mark on this world!”
Oh, I wish I hadn’t done this.
I quickly changed the subject.
It was a conversation I had with Kyle.
As it was a subject related to the royal family, everyone except Ainar forgot the new nickname ‘giant’ and listened to it with interest.
“It’s comforting… … . I don’t know how many will participate.”
“Urikfried is also naive. Wouldn’t it be much faster to count how many people would participate?”
“What?”
“It’s just cursing behind the scenes, but realistically, who wants to take over the royal family? He even said that he would repay the hard work.”
“Yeah, I still have pride as an explorer. Yandel! You can also say something.”
“Actually, I have the same thoughts as Raven.”
“… … What?”
“Yeah, if you’re not going to move on to Noark, of course it’s right to take what you need.”
The explorer never loses.
Although not to this extent, most explorers are very sensitive to damage.
Anyway, we all had a lot to talk about, so we all had dinner together and then we left our seats.
“Then let’s go.”
“see you next time. If there is work, I will contact you.”
Raven and Mister Bear have left.
Ainar went out to visit the Holy Land, and Misha also left to shop.
Inside the house, which suddenly became quiet.
But soon after, a knock was heard.
“Teterud… … ?”
“haha! I came here because I’m still babbling. How can I have a drink?”
“… … It’s a secret for Misha.”
It was broad daylight, but it was a friendly face, so he brought the clan members who had followed him inside and drank with him and relaxed.
But it’s about to end.
“Oh, you were there too?”
There was another visitor.
“Melter Pend.”
“Just call me Melter. Long time no see, Bjorn. I was originally going to come to see you, but it was too late for the funeral of the dead members. Oh, can I come in?”
“Of course.”
Teterud and the clan members stayed together for a while to see if there was an appointment, and after that, they had a solo session with Melter.
The main story is the battle with the wolf.
There was an amazing story.
“The Auror has awakened… … ?”
“Haha, it wasn’t until I woke up, I could see the way for a while and write it thinly.”
A former explorer apprentice knight, he manifested an auror during battle.
Well, it still looks unstable… … .
‘A third-class explorer who uses Aurors.’

Melter’s name echoes throughout the city.
It probably won’t take too long.
Isn’t it a situation where countless top-ranking explorers have died?
bang bang!
Anyway, the visitor didn’t end up with a melter.
“Yandel! are you inside! Are you saying you can’t even walk properly yet?”
The warriors who had a relationship that day.
Or, one after another, the explorers who came to say thanks came to my house.

Misha served the meal.
“I wish I had Elbertine… … .”
Sometimes there was a time of silence.
They were not the only visitors.
“Wow, are you called a giant? Would this dwarf live with shame? Ha ha ha!”
The dwarf and Rotmiller came to hear my news.
“You won’t be able to come to the library for a while… … . Next time I come, I’ll bring some books to read.”
Ragna, a member of the Friends Group, and Shabin, an administrator.
“Did you do something big? proud of you.”
A tribal chief who came to this far away from the holy land.
Oh, and by the way, the chief of the tribe gave me a warning whether he knew about Yue-yeon.
“The king’s laughter is poison. Don’t get too close with the royal family.”
“I will read it.”
“Okay then. Let’s have a drink!”
Such visits continued over several days.
Oh, and there have been several visits.
This is because the royal family sent out invitations about the comfort ceremony in bulk.
“… … Are you going to fight back?”
“You must fight it! If you just pass here, you’ll end up at their feet forever and ever!”
There were those who wanted to come and fight the royal family, while others gave serious advice.
No, in terms of percentage, this was much more.
“Put off your anger and think rationally.”
“It wasn’t you who suffered the most. Who can say that you are rewarded?”
“If the rice paddy process itself is not successful, the dead explorers will not receive any compensation. Their families should also be considered.”
“To be honest, this is a great opportunity for you. Please don’t miss this opportunity. This is really for you.”
Conversations with them made me think a lot.
Now, my choices affect not only me, but many other places.
With that responsibility, I listened to their opinions one by one.
Oh, until Misha explodes.
“hey! Please tell me to stop now!! No, just go out and meet him!!”
I was just angry.

May 10th.
A little over a week has passed since the day of the disaster. We woke up early in the morning and had time to decorate.
Today is the day of comfort.
“Ouch! More, tighter!”
“Well, then you will die, Misha!”
“It’s okay, so come on… 👌👌”
After sitting quietly on the sofa and waiting, Misha in a dress came out of the room with Ainar’s help.
With a face that is somehow embarrassed.
“… … Is that, this, strange?”
“… … … no, not one. It suits you well.”
It was 100% sincere.
A gorgeous dress that is completely different from the tight-fitting trousers or loose, monochromatic skirts that you usually wear.
The red color on the white background is the point, and the skirt is about knee-length, so the tail doesn’t seem to have any trouble moving.
Did you even consider being a beast?
‘I’ll have to say thank you when I see you later.’
“Hey, stop looking.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“So that’s all… … ?”
I quickly added.
“… … I think the pins on her hair are pretty.”
“Um, what about the necklace?”
“That too.”
“Hmm, Gran?”
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
Misha doesn’t say anything about whether it’s a pass or not.
The air was uncomfortable for some reason, so I turned around.
“What about Ainar?”
“That’s right, Ainar! It doesn’t come out and what? Come with me!”
“Ha, but… … ! I’m ashamed too! Can’t we just wear armor and go?”
“Didn’t I say that I can’t wear weapons or armor because I’m going to the royal palace! Come on out. Nothing strange at all!”
Eventually, Ainar was pulled out by Misha’s hand.
By the way, it wasn’t a dress.
A slim fit men’s suit that fits just as if it was custom made.
‘It’s like a uniform.’
She wore tight white trousers, a shirt and a coat made of high-quality fabric that came down to her thighs.
However, coats and shirts are full of insignias and embroidery, giving them a splendid feeling.
“Hey, isn’t that weird?! okay! Hey, this kind of outfit would suit a warrior like me—”
“It suits you well, but why?”
“Oh, don’t make fun of me… … .”
It’s been a long time since he’s been like this.
“What are you kidding me for? I have similar clothes.”
By the way, I was also given a dress similar to Ainar’s. Indigo is the base, and the same brown as my hair color is included as a point.
However, the colors, embroidery patterns, and badges are much more masculine than Ainar’s.
Well, the biggest difference is probably not.
“It’s cramped.”
I checked my mirror for a moment, tidying up my tight-fitting clothes.
It’s called tailcoat barbarian mode.
In some ways, it looks far more daunting than wearing armor.
Was the original suit an outfit that showed off his muscles so much?
this isn’t a thug
“Bjorn! The carriage is outside!”
“okay? Then go ahead.”
As soon as I finished preparing to go out and left the house, the waiting driver greeted me sincerely.
“Nice to meet you. Bjorn Jandel, Misha Karlstein, Einar Fnelin. It is Jack Haines who has been honored to serve him to the royal palace. If there is any uncomfortable place, please feel free to pull the cord and tell me.”
It really feels like something has happened.
“Wow, this is a private carriage… … .”
“Oh oh! candy! Candy is free!!”
Degururu, the wheels rolled over the road and the carriage began to move.
The center of Lafdonia.
towards the place where the king resides.
Ooh misha x bjorn development!
