Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 234

234 episodes New Age (4)

Junior Baron.

The title that belongs directly above the general knights.

“What… … .”

“You’re a semi-baron!”

The nobles were furious at the announcement of the Prime Minister’s bomb.

It deserved it.

“Unprecedented! To grant a title that can be inherited to a barbarian!”

A semi-baron can pass on the title.

Not forever, just for sons and grandchildren.

In a way, it can be said that it is better than an honorary baron whose title is maintained only for that period.

‘I didn’t even know I was going to get a title even though I didn’t ride the noble route.’

To be honest, I’m a little confused.

In the game, he was able to become a noble by accumulating achievements by breaking quests related to the great nobility above the marquis.

It was a route with many disadvantages as well as benefits.

Although he is a nobleman, in reality he feels like a vassal of a great aristocrat, so there are some restrictions on play.

But what about the restrictions?

‘… … But anyway, if the king orders something, the commoners or the nobles can’t refuse it anyway, so it’s like it’s virtually nonexistent, isn’t it?’

Well, it seems like it is… … .

Then the boss shouted.

“Everyone, be quiet!”

“However… … .”

“Your Majesty’s word.”

“… … .”

The confusion that I thought would not subside easily was calmed by a single word from the king’s instructions.

It was the weight of the king’s name in this country.

“I will let you know as soon as the date of awarding the title is decided.”

Anyway, that’s the end of my non-gong quest.

The Prime Minister didn’t even ask if I would accept the title. I wouldn’t have even thought of that.

Well, I didn’t mean to say no in the first place.

This is not just a game.

In other words, if you become a noble, you can enjoy all kinds of conveniences and increase the number of games you can play.

“Come out, Clan Nartell’s Portyan Myriad!”

After my turn, the process of announcing rewards according to the criminal record of others continued for a while.

At this time, my colleagues also went forward one after another, and they all got decent rewards, though not as much as me.

To recap, this is it:

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, Ainar, and Uncle Bear can choose the reward of 10 million stones and grade 5 Essence or equivalent equipment.

Also, the wizard Raven obtained the qualification to learn royal magic instead of the usual reward by asking the Prime Minister.

In the case of Erwen, it was a rank 4 Essence or equivalent, and the reward was the greatest among allies.

In addition to being recognized as the second contributor to the battle with the corpse collector, the compensation for the bereaved family due to Daria’s death was added together.

Although he did not attend this event, there was no problem in this part because the announcement was made today and the compensation was paid later.

“Mr. Yandel, then, is Erwen still in the Holy Land?”

“I heard that the funeral has already ended, but it must still be complicated.”

“I see… … .”

Raven, who asked for Erwen’s well-being, wiggled his tail. I asked him if he had anything to say, but he didn’t answer.

how long has it passed

“What a wonderful day. Everyone, please enjoy this place with the protagonists of the new era with joy!”

After a long time on the non-gong journey, the banquet began.

***

Due to the large number of people, the banquet was held in two spaces.

A huge inner hall where rice paddies were held and an outdoor garden filled with all kinds of seafood and seafood.

Although not compulsory, most explorers enjoyed their banquets outdoors.

Well, that was the atmosphere.

The interior has a calm atmosphere with classical music playing.

Since more than half of the nobles chose to enjoy a banquet here, it must have been difficult for explorers to remain.

“What will Mr. Yandel do?”

“Of course we should go outside.”

We also opted for the outdoors.

“If you stay here, you can broaden your network.”

After all, the award of the semi-baron has been confirmed, so if networking is the goal, I don’t think it has to be today.

I wish it wasn’t like that today.

“Yandel! Yandel is here!”

“what? Why do you come here if you want to become a nobleman?”

“ha ha ha! Where is Yandel!”

Perhaps they felt a sense of distance when they heard that the title of nobility was conferred, or the explorers who greeted me fiercely when I came out.

After all, what would have happened if you hadn’t come?

No matter how much I think about it, I feel that the relationship with these guys is more precious than the nobles.

“Everyone sees only you, so how about saying something? I’ve listened to it on the inside, but what you’re saying will sound different.”

Kyle, who was accompanying him, said next to him.

Yeah, give it a short toast or something.

I’ve been thinking about what to do for a while… … .

‘Let’s just go like a barbarian.’

The worries did not last long.

Do you really need to think about it?

I’ve already heard enough of Chiha’s rhetorical words.

so… … .

“Everyone worked hard!!”

For today, this will suffice.

“Come on, eat, drink and have fun!!”

A call that ended in an instant.

Barbarians, who by nature do not prefer long words, shouted in response.

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!”

The same goes for explorers.

“As I live, the days of drinking alcohol in the royal palace are coming!”

“There is also Yandel who will become a semi-baron, so what are you worried about? Let’s play with peace of mind!”

“Wow!”

The explorers also let go of the inconvenience of the royal palace and began to enjoy the banquet to their heart’s content.

Note that this also applies to us.

“Wow, Bjorn! Try this! I don’t know what kind of meat it is, but the bones are crispy and delicious!”

“Uh, that’s not even bone-eating food… … .”

“yes? why?”

“No. It should be delicious… … .”

Oily food with a different taste from Missha’s home-cooked meal.

A clean drink.

Even the countless comrades who can talk about their difficult past experiences as snacks.

‘It seems like he’s doing something after all.’

A fun time worthy of the banquet continues.

Sometimes, when talking about a dead colleague, the atmosphere darkened, but after a brief silence together, we found the original atmosphere again.

It was around the time when the day gradually began to set.

“Does it look fun?”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Melter, who was enjoying a banquet with the nobles indoors, came out.

“Did you have fun inside?”

“No way. How long have I endured wanting to run away?”

“You’re in a lot of trouble too.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Melter, who enjoyed a banquet with the nobles indoors, was understandable.

First of all, he’s leading the clan.

He probably didn’t want to miss the opportunity to build a network with a nobleman. Maybe one day you will need their help.

“Come on, if you come, get a bottle here.”

“A bottle… … ?”

“Do you need to bother with the cup?”

“Haha, if I had known this would happen, I would have come out sooner. But where have your co-workers gone?”

“Except for Ab, everyone said it wasn’t fun and went somewhere else.”

“okay? I thought that barbarian lady would be a little different.”

“Ah, he’s too drunk.”

To be precise, it’s not that I’m weak, but I got drunk on the atmosphere and continued to blow my bottle, and it didn’t take long for me to stretch out.

“Yandel, the bottle is empty. Are you sure you’re not drunk?”

“No way.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Melter must also come. I continued to drink with the warriors around me.

It is one of the strengths of Bjorn Yandel’s body.

Alcohol is extremely strong

“Ugh, the smell of alcohol… … .”

After waking up with this body, I was drinking for the first time, when Misha approached me.

“Oh, Misha. Did you have a good time?”

“yes. There was a performance over there, and it was fun. I wish we could go together… … .”

“It will happen again later. But what about Raven?”

“I’m drunk and I’m just hanging out with the wizards and talking about difficult things.”

Talking about difficult things while drunk, are wizards something to avoid?

“I’m going for a walk.”

After asking Melter’s pardon, I took a break from drinking for a while and took a walk in the garden with Misha.

It was not as much as the drinking party of the warriors I was at, but everyone was having a good time.

Nobles were seen everywhere.

“Oh, I can’t even imagine that there are thousands of corpses.”

“Iknow, right. I must have been really scared Awesome.”

Like I was a popular star at the old counts’ banquet, nobles who approached explorers first and expressed their interest.

After all, they don’t all have heavy buttocks like the title nobles. Young collateral aristocrats are virtually no different from middle-class commoners.

‘yes? But why didn’t anyone come to us?’

Something was strange, but I quickly understood.

Dozens of up and down warriors are screaming, how can they come?

“Bjorn, would you like to sit down and rest?”

“I would love to… … .”

He wasn’t drunk that much, but the aftereffects of the last battle had not yet healed, so it was difficult to walk for a long time.

“… … Why are you sitting on the floor? Aren’t you sitting next to me?”

“I thought it was going to break.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha sat on the bench, and I just sat on the lawn.

And I just had a quiet time.

Is it because you drink too much?

The noise of a noisy banquet seemed to come from afar like background music, and various thoughts ran through my head.

“Yandel! Bjorn Jandel, who has been given the title of baron this time, right?”

As I was spending time in such a comfortable silence, some nobles recognized me and approached me.

By the way, it’s Yandel… … .

Are you already treating me like royalty?

I didn’t want to be disturbed at this time, so those who approached me spoke well and sent them back.

However, it cannot be used that way for everyone.

“Haha, have you been here?”

A title aristocrat who is not a collateral.

He’s the kind of person who can interfere with things in the future if he becomes in a difficult relationship… … .

Dwalkie’s half-brother.

“… … Baron Martoane.”

“Actually, I came out to meet you a few times earlier, but I didn’t come close as it seemed like we were having a good time.”

Well, excuses.

It’s obvious that he just broke through the warriors and didn’t come to me.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“Haha, no. Aren’t you the main character of this banquet?”

After a formal greeting, I chatted for a while with Baron Martoin.

It was a more informative conversation than I expected.

Usually, when a nobleman from commoners is born, there is bound to be territoriality, but I think it will be a little different?

“Why?”

“Isn’t that a title given by His Majesty the King? What a watchful explorer, who dares to touch you? Everyone must be anxious to get to know each other.”

King… … .

I feel it all the time, but whenever the talk about the king comes up, I feel a bit awkward.

As the chieftain said.

‘Anyway, if this is true… … .’

I greeted the butler sitting next to Baron Martoan, who was somewhat playful.

“By the way, it’s been a while, butler.”

The butler whose face turns white at my greetings.

Well, it would be scary.

The barbarian, who used to smashed his head and shredded his bones, now has great fame and power.

“Well, at that time, poetry, there were a lot of excuses… … .”

As I watched with a smirk, the butler trembled and apologized.

It wasn’t particularly refreshing.

‘Jeep, it seems like you’re harassing a really weak child.’

Sandbags need to have a moderate hitting feeling to be able to beat them. I stopped making fun of the butler at this point, and even talked to Baron Martouan.

So naturally, Dwalkie was mentioned.

“By the way, where did my brother go?”

Baron Martoane, who expresses himself as ‘my little brother’, which he didn’t even use at the time, probably because he wanted to get to know me.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Me and Misha hardened at the same time.

‘Fuck, what?’

Are you kidding me now?

“Where did you go… … ?”

When I asked him while managing his facial expression, the butler’s expression became even whiter.

One piece of information you can get from this.

As you can see, he seemed to know the situation.

and two.

“Baron, as I’ve said before, Lial Wob Dwalkie… … .”

The baron knew this too.

I just forgot after hearing it once.

“Oh, it was. Seriously, when people get old, their memory isn’t what it used to be. haha.”

A baron who bursts out laughing as if he’s embarrassed.

Even after drinking several bottles of alcohol, I felt like my stomach was boiling.

Is that so?

wow.

When I wake up, Misha is holding my arm tightly with a worried face. I tapped the back of my hand as a sign not to worry and then removed it.

That’s because I’m not who I used to be.

There are too many things to be responsible for.

therefore… … .

“Okay, I understand, don’t worry. As you get older, you may have problems with your hair.”

“… … huh? Oh, how could you express it that way? ha ha ha.”

I reached out and asked the baron to shake hands.

“I have a place to go, so I have to stop. I had a great time meeting you.”

“okay? I’m sorry. See you later.”

Baron Martoane responds to my handshake as if he is genuinely regretful.

He asked me one last time.

“Oh, but where are you going?”

I answered, wiping the hand that had shaken hands with Baron Martohan as if dust had gotten on it.

“Ah, I suddenly want to wash my hands.”

Dirty things need to be washed away

***

Baron Martohan was a slow-witted person.

“… … okay? Anyway, I’ll call you later, so don’t refuse. Now that you have become a noble, you have a lot to learn.”

A baron who lets me go without any expression.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Maybe the problem was with me.

I wouldn’t have imagined that a barbarian would normally do a round robin like this.

‘Maybe the few shortcomings of the Barbarian.’

“You did well.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha strokes her hair as if I’m weird.

Slowly, I got up from my seat and headed towards the room.

I’m washing my hands. I could grab a passing wizard and ask him, but I also wanted to go to the bathroom.

“Can I not go with you?”

“… … Do you know what kind of child I am?”

I broke up with Misha and went to the bathroom with the help of a guide. Then I got out and was about to go back to the banquet hall.

Someone who recognized me pretended to know me.

“Oh, were you here?”

It was Count Ferdehild, the organizer of the last banquet he attended. I said strange things while giving the winner ‘No.7777 Garpas’ Necklace’.

[I’ll call you separately when you’re ready.]

In the end, there was no special calling or anything like that until today.

“You speak as if you were looking for me.”

“Yeah, because that’s true.”

“After we met, why not go over there and have a drink? It won’t take long.”

“If so.”

Since he was a man of great power that could not be compared with Baron Martoan, he obeyed and went inside.

“You get it.”

As I sat down at the table, the Count poured me a drink, and I took a one-shot.

“My colleague is waiting for me, so can I hear your business first?”

“Haha, of course.”

Fortunately, the Earl seemed to understand and brought up the main topic without any sign of ill-will.

“My youngest daughter, Arabella. Have you ever seen one before?”

This feels weird… … .

“What do you think? Isn’t it pretty?”

Unsurprisingly, the Count wrapped his daughter-in-law’s shoulder next to him and pushed her in front of me.

“Ah, this is Arabella… … .”

The count’s daughter, who appeared to be in her early teens, trembled as she looked at me and said her name.

Ha, I didn’t know that I would end up going through something like this.

“How is it?”

Because it was the first time in my life, my brain stopped and I couldn’t answer anything.

But did that seem like a concern?

“Oh, if you are dating a woman, don’t worry too much. Isn’t it okay to take her as a concubine anyway?”

“… … concubine?”

“Oh, didn’t you know?”

The Count smiled at my murmur and said,

“It is one of the duties of nobility to contribute to this country by leaving many descendants. If you become a noble, you can have up to three concubines besides the courthouse.”

Duty is bullshit.

It made me want to go to the bathroom again.
