Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 235

235 episodes New Age (5)

Leave my daughter in court, and take my lover as a concubine.

The Count, who had made such an outrageous proposal, continued.

“The Abyss Seeker Rimenin who was the first to reach the 10th floor, the great navigator Pykma who explored and mapped all the areas of the expansive 6th floor, the Iron Hero Juggernaut.”

“… … .”

“There were many other heroes. Do you know what they have in common? They always had strong supporters on their journey.”

In the end, I had no choice but to ask.

No, I know what you’re trying to say… … .

“What do they gain by sponsoring me?”

“There is always a shortage of talent in this city. Even if it wasn’t for this particular event, I was planning to support you.”

It’s not just an empty nuance.

“What exactly do you mean?”

“It is not uncommon for nobles to sponsor promising explorers. Because it helps the family’s reputation.”

This is something you know

Should I call it a noble hobby of the upper class?

If you compare it to modern times, it feels like collecting supercars.

But I didn’t know this.

“Sometimes it is a measure of the power of a family. Without sponsoring explorers, they will be despised for nothing, and if they do not achieve any remarkable results, they will be judged as having no discernment.”

Now that I see it, it has gone beyond the realm of simple hobbies.

For aristocrats, the social circle is the arena of politics, and the evaluation of others will soon act as a real force.

“Our Count Ferdehild’s wealth is as good as that of any other great aristocrat. The same goes for knights. But there is only one thing lacking.”

He didn’t know much about the Count, but he seemed to know what it was.

“Even with a lot of effort, there hasn’t been an explorer like this for a long time.”

“I guess that’s what I meant when I was ready to call you separately.”

“What are you going to hide? I said that because I wasn’t sure about you back then. If the explorer we sponsor should die sooner or later, it will damage the reputation of our family.”

Nevertheless, he did not want to be taken away, so he threatened not to accept the invitations of other nobles.

A kind of saliva act.

“If I had known this would happen, then I would have supported you without hesitation.”

I smiled involuntarily at the voice that overflowed with regret.

If that had been the case, the artist’s reputation would have risen as much as my stock price had risen by now.

I wouldn’t have had to give up my daughter like this.

“I have no doubts now. You are going to be bigger. Many explorers have died, but where will this end? As time goes by, the vacancies will be filled. You will surely become the protagonists of a new era.”

“… … It’s overrated.”

“Well, we’ll have to wait and see. Anyway, it seems that all the benefits I get have been explained. Then will you answer me?”

I was silent for a moment and pondered.

Exactly, I pretended to be worried.

If I refused right away, I would definitely be hurt.

“I’m sorry, but such a relationship seems difficult.”

Rejection trying to leave as little room as possible.

“Think carefully. Everyone wants to have a good relationship with you, but is there anyone who really wants to form a blood relationship? I can do more than you can imagine.”

The conversation with the Count didn’t end there.

I said goodbye to my daughter one more time and returned to the outdoors. As soon as I left, Misha found me and approached me.

“Bjorn! Where have you been! He never came and went to look for it, but I couldn’t find it!”

“Ah, wait, the nobles caught me.”

I don’t need to tell you what just happened.

After walking around, I went back to where I was and drank.

The more I laughed and talked, the more I remembered what the Count had said.

[You are sure to be the protagonist who will lead the new era.]

So the party ended.

***

When the performance is over, the loud noise stops.

The boring banquet is finally over.

“You bastards.”

At first, I didn’t know what kind of party it was.

That’s because the only source of information has been cut off, and since then, I’ve been almost blind. It was impossible to get in touch with the outside world.

However… … .

[It’s been a long time since we met face to face.]

He got to know him through a conversation with the prime minister, who he had been to a while ago.

what happened this time.

[The Norks have done a great job this time. There was a lot of damage.]

a lot of damage.

How much… … ?

The man asked the question, trying to hide the rising anxiety, and the prime minister answered.

[Whatever you can imagine, more than that.]

Seventy percent of the explorers on the 4th floor or higher died.

Of course, it was something else that mattered to him.

An explorer on the 7th floor or higher.

Several large clans were refining themselves to go deeper, even though they could live with aching even if they stopped climbing.

Most of them also died.

How long will it take to repair this damage?

“Hey, it’s really hard. I should have just popped the ribs then.”

The man grinded his teeth.

When I heard this news, the first thought that came to my mind was ‘I was hit’.

[Intentionally… … Did you aim?]

He asked, barely restraining himself from living, and the prime minister answered with a smile.

[We didn’t even know about this. If you want, you can use that ability to check if it’s true.]

It was true that I didn’t know… … .

I’ve been deceived by that clever way of speaking once or twice.

[Girl. If it wasn’t for this, it would have ended up like this.]

[Well, what do you think?]

[Don’t make a fuss. If I had left them all to be killed in the last subjugation war, this would never have happened.]

It felt like the question was finally resolved.

At the time of the subjugation, the war situation was much more favorable for the Rafdonia side. The damage was great, but it could have been finished with a little more push.

But the royal family did not.

Time was given, and in the end, the Noark side activated the ancient barrier and locked the gate.

[How about being honest? From the beginning, he had no intention of keeping his promise to me.]

[I’m afraid. This is a promise made by His Majesty the King himself, risking the honor of the royal family. Do not have any doubts, as this will surely be observed.]

[Don’t doubt it.]

The man finally realized.

No, it would be right to admit it only now.

These bastards have no intention of letting us go.

‘Perhaps there is no way for me to run away, so I’m being rude like that.’

After the conversation, the prime minister left.

The reason why he sent them without breaking the head is simple.

Because it had to be night.

‘Ha, where else should I dig?’

I thought there was a clue to the royal family, but I couldn’t find any.

No, I just found out that there is no answer here.

It is safe to say that at least 10 years have been lost by this judgment.

But the man did not give up.

‘… … If you have nowhere to go, go to Noark.’

Even if the power is weak compared to the royal family, there will be a will to clear it.

‘Oh, I don’t know, let’s go out and think.’

The man closed his eyes and stretched out his hand in the air.

And slowly started imaging.

‘The disappearance of a star.’

The skill of the Dark Lord Deadred.

It is the essence obtained when you finally entered the labyrinth, and there are no witnesses, so even the royal family does not know that he owns it.

Jigsaw—.

A dark sphere rotated on the man’s hand, absorbing all the surrounding magic. The same is true of the sealing magic circle engraved in the room where he is located.

supportive.

Eventually, the magic circle was broken.

and… … .

aah

The dark sphere exploded and everything within a 100m radius was annihilated.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

At the same time as the explosion, the bell rang, and it was felt that the knights around them were approaching.

Well, it’s quick to react once.

“Come on, it’s an escape!”

“Stop it!!”

The man chuckled.

“Hey, how would you like to come now?”

The knights flinched at the life he exhaled.

Even if I shout like a fanatic every day, like a king and loyalty, they seem to know that my life is precious. Seeing it made me feel a little better.

“You assholes.”

The man leapt high with ridicule.

And as if enjoying freedom, he used ‘space interference’ to step in the air and escaped the palace very easily.

Hundreds of meters in the air, reached in less than a minute.

This damn city has always been the same.

Elevated walls encircling the four sides like lattices wherever you look in the east, west, north, and south.

‘Oh, wait. But can’t Noark go in right away because of the barrier?’

The man, who had been moving for a while, realized the fact late and stopped in the air and began to ponder.

‘… … Shall we go to Bifron? It’s a good place to hide.’

Also, I think this would be best.

However… … .

‘Let’s stop by the tower first.’

Before I hid myself, I had somewhere to go.

The information supply and demand route needs to be restored to know how the world works even in the hidden state.

‘I wonder what happened to that hyung.’

… … will you be alive

Well, I hope so.

The man, Baek-ho Lee, crossed the night sky, thinking about other people after a very long time.

***

Five days have passed since the banquet was over.

So far I haven’t done much.

I just stayed at home and had time to recover, and yesterday, when I became a little more livable, I went out alone to find a family.

Because that’s what I promised

[Tell my son the news. You must be famous when you go out. The kid will like it.]

A family with a ten-year-old boy and a young wife.

Contrary to what he said, the little boy didn’t smile when he saw me.

yeah how can i laugh

[I heard a lot of stories. Thanks for coming… … .]

After traveling over four hours in a wagon, I ended up having a brief conversation with my wife.

Are you planning to open a shop with the bereaved family’s compensation money coming in?

It is said that it was originally a long-time dream between the couple.

[If you have any problems raising children or living life, feel free to come to us anytime.]

[why… … Are you doing so well? I heard that you and him met for the first time that day… … .]

[If we had met somewhere else, we would have become friends.]

[Yeah… … yea… … .]

For the sake of the child who was left behind, the stubborn woman who pushed herself after just over ten days and a little more quietly shed tears.

[Since childhood… … He was a kid with a little side. I’ve always admired someone like a hero. Thank you very much. He’ll be happy too. If someone like you remembers… … .]

What is a person like me?

Those words were tight to the end of his throat, but he endured it.

The truth is anyway, it had to be.

if they want it

It’s also what I have to do.

“Bjorn!”

As I quietly recited my thoughts, Misha swung the door open and entered.

“Erwen! Erwen is here!”

Yep, he’s finally sorted out.

I quickly went down and saw Erwen standing blankly in the living room.

The first reunion since that day.

I pondered what to say and finally spit it out.

“Come well.”

If I had lived a more proper life, I would have been able to give you more wonderful words of comfort in times like these.

“yes… … .”

Seeing Erwen with a shady expression on her face, Misha hurriedly approached her.

“Hey, how about a meal? Aren’t you hungry?”

“it’s okay. thank you Karlstein.”

“What is Mr. Just call me sister… … oh!”

ah… … .

Misha stepped on a land mine.

“No, no, yes! Because Missha is enough… … .”

Misha quickly corrects her name.

At this, Erwen closed her eyes tightly.

And slowly opened up and smiled hard at least.

“It’s okay if you don’t care like that. really. heart thank you sister… … .”

“Oh, uh… … . right. come and see I left an empty room here in case you might come… … .”

“yes? Did you leave the room empty?”

“It’s like there’s nowhere to go. You can stay as long as you like, so I’ll stay here until it’s all over. It only gets harder when I’m alone… … .”

At Misha’s words, Erwen’s eyes widened.

It’s like hearing an offer you didn’t expect.

“Well, is that okay? … ?”

Then, as Erwen asked my doctor, he looked at me, and I shrugged.

“Didn’t you say your sister asked Now I am your protector.”

Erwen clenched her tiny fist.

And I barely opened my mouth as if I was forced to vomit.

“… I will be grateful for that consideration. Really, now… … What’s left of me… … I don’t have anything… … .”

“No. Misha, please take me and show me the room. You filled in the furniture, so you know better than I do.”

“ah! Okay!”

Soon, Misha took Erwen and showed her about the structure of the house and things like that.

But have you not slept properly?

Erwen lay down on the bed to rest for a while and fell asleep.

“… After all, I think it would be more convenient to fight monsters.”

“I agree… … .”

Afterwards, the two of us ate the rice that Misha had prepared.

Hey, Ainar said he was going to spend the night in the Holy Land today.

Anyway, after dinner, we spent some time chatting with Misha, and at about midnight we went up to our room and laid down on the bed.

My heart was pounding, my heart was pounding.

How many people actually participated?

no… … .

“The soul of the character resonates and is drawn to a specific world.”

Clown, did that chew?

I’d like you to come.
