Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 250

250 episodes gnome tree (4)

At first, I thought it might be GM again.

But if it were a GM, he wouldn’t have approached me by borrowing a face he had used once.

Also, the atmosphere emanating from the surrounding escort knights and people is completely different.

Simply put, this guy… … .

‘(Jin) Hans I.’

Not the GM pretending to be Hans I, but the real Hans I.

So there is only one thing I have to do.

“… … .”

Stop breathing.

“You must apologize.”

He clenched his teeth, pretending not to hear what he was saying and ignoring it.

and… … .

Tadat.

run

“Why, why run away… … !”

“ooh! I feel like I want to run all of a sudden!!”

“That, that… … !”

When he cast the ignorant jump pad, (Jin) Hans I was greatly embarrassed.

But there is no way I can stop my feet.

“Behel—la ah ah!”

The distance between him and me quickly widened, and he didn’t even follow me.

Fortunately, he didn’t have that kind of guts.

‘… … Did you avoid it?’

I arrived at the front of the hostel in one short step and calmed my heart that was beating hard.

I only heard the voice, I didn’t see the face.

Thanks to this, they did not make eye contact and held their breath, so there is less chance of airborne infection.

… … It would be fine if you did this.

Yes, it will be fine.

“Are you here?”

As I was holding my breath in front of the dormitory, the waiter greeted me.

And let’s follow the user into the room.

“Nyahat, is Bjorn here?”

Misha, with a very reminiscent expression on her face, welcomes me.

It’s called high tension (alcohol) mode.

Erwen, who was sitting next to him, was not much different.

“mister… … … Heh heh heh heh heh!”

Erwen calls out to me with a gloomy voice and spit out a creepy laugh.

‘What is it, here.’

There are empty bottles of alcohol all around, and the smell of alcohol permeates the entire living room.

‘It’s been less than an hour since I left… … ?’

What has happened here in the meantime?

As I looked around as a detective, I realized that Ainar wasn’t there.

“What about Ainar?”

“The female warrior is already sleeping drunk.”

It was the user of the annex who answered my question.

When asked for the location, the courtyard in the center of the annex came out, not the room.

Droo-!!

ha, really.

I picked up Ainar, threw it on the bed in the room, and came back down. What was so fun, Misha was pouring a bottle.

“Big… … !”

Sensing some kind of cruelty, I cautiously approached Misha’s side.

“Did anything happen while I was away?”

Although there have been occasions where people drank and got drunk at a drinking party with everyone, this is the first time they have seen people pouring out death like this.

“Work? Nyahaha, what’s the job!”

“But why are you drinking like that? … .”

“I just drank it because it felt good!”

“That’s right?”

I felt good and I drank.

It must have been some kind of concern.

I will refresh my body by taking a hot spring bath, and I will give you a good drink for free next to me.

Rather, there is no reason not to drink.

“Yeah, at first.”

Misha gently wipes the alcohol off her lips with her sleeve.

Without realizing it, I turned my head away from my gaze.

Naturally, Erwen, who was sitting on the sofa in a disorganized position, caught my eye.

By the way, he was alone and blankly staring into the air… … .

“Heh heh heh… … .”

I keep grinning about what’s so funny.

Is it an injection of him who smiles when drunk?

“Hey, Bjorn.”

Then Misha grabbed my wrist and spoke to me.

“Oh, tell me.”

“You rejected me that day.”

uh… … Are you talking about that now?

It was an awkward topic, but there was no atmosphere to reject it.

As soon as she kept her mouth shut and waited, Misha pressed her lips together and asked.

“Is it because I couldn’t have a barbarian?”

huh? what?

Did Ainar say something strange?

For a moment, his head stiffened, but the barbarian’s body was adept at crisis.

“No way.”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Mouth opened without hesitation.

It wasn’t really a lie.

The reason I turned down Misha that day wasn’t because I wasn’t attracted to her or because she was a beast.

There was a reason why I had to carry it alone.

“Yeah, that’s right… … .”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, who was staring intently into my eyes as if to determine the authenticity, immediately opened a new bottle of wine and shoved it into her mouth.

and… … .

“Then also… … .”

He looked at my eyes and avoided them, then opened and closed his lips, repeating a small talk.

“you… … Someday, it will disappear… … . disappear… … .”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, who had a shaky tail, shook her head.

“Nyaha… … .”

Somehow, it seems that the limit has been exceeded for a long time.

I let out the breath I had been holding back and hugged Misha.

Then he took him to his room and laid him on the bed.

When I came back to the living room, Erwen was looking at me and raising the corners of her mouth.

“Finally everyone… I fell asleep… … .”

What is it, boy?

“If you are drunk, go to sleep.”

‘Neck Slice.’

“… … 꼑.”

After roughly stunned, I tossed it next to Misha.

***

Late at night, slowly approaching midnight.

I was worried about cleaning up the rolling bottles, but I decided to leave it alone.

This isn’t even our home.

If you leave the room later, I’ll take care of it.

“ha… … .”

I sat down on a slightly cramped sofa.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

My head was complicated.

It was because of what Misha said at the end.

[you… … Someday, it will disappear… … . disappear… … .]

It’s obvious what’s behind the unheard of.

I’m a person who will disappear someday, so I guess I was going to ask if that’s why.

Of course, I’m not sure I’m a demon.

No, I would rather consider the possibility that it is not.

‘Cause I’ve seen myself take the trust.

A city where evil spirits are known as enemies of God.

But does God help evil spirits to bring down holy things?

From a worldview perspective, this is absurd.

It was just that a stalk of anxiety left in my head like a rooted seed came out of my mouth while I was drunk.

‘… … But fortunately, even if I am an evil spirit, I don’t think it will be hostile.’

I felt relieved by that fact.

I felt grateful, and I was proud that I was not in vain.

One of the biggest emotions was a sense of shame.

‘What the hell am I looking for?’

When I woke up from Bjorn Jandel’s body, my primary goal was to survive.

Once they somehow survived and adapted to this world, they decided to find a way to return to their original world.

However… … .

Isn’t it bad to just live like this?

Do I have to go back there?

On the contrary, good things were rarer there, right?

Lately, that idea has been getting bigger and bigger.

For some reason, I think I can understand why players call the current residents so much and distinguish them as NPCs.

You need to draw a line.

This world is not ours.

We have a place to return to.

‘stop.’

I forcibly stopped the constant flow of thoughts.

do you go home

or stay here

Neither decision can be made yet.

I decided to watch the death row inmates who couldn’t pay their taxes.

I decided to go to the 6th floor at least and make a decision.

‘It’s meaningless to think about it now anyway.’

It’s not just taxes that matter.

Dragon Slayer, Clown, Noark, Royal Family.

A world full of things that could threaten my life.

Like it or not, I have to get stronger.

Whatever you want to do, once you’re alive, it has meaning.

So, in that sense… … .

“Where are you going tonight?”

“Oh, let’s go for a walk. There is no need to wait.”

Leave the word to the user and leave the dormitory.

Slowly, the time came when there were no people.

[02:37]

When you step out of the room, the cool night air wraps around your lungs.

But right down the mountain?

I think it might be a little chilly.

thump, thump.

As expected, there were few people on the street, but it wasn’t completely empty.

The brightly lit gambling hall is still buzzing with buzzing noises.

Well, it didn’t mean much.

Now I’m going out of town.

‘It’s dark.’

When I came out of the village, darkness like a labyrinth spreads out in front of me.

Even in Korea, the countryside was just like this.

A little further away from the light, the gloomy nature welcomed me.

‘By the way, the time has come to come out slowly.’

I wanted to light a torch, but just in case I didn’t know, I just walked cautiously.

how long has it been since

The cave of courtesy written on the map provided at the dormitory appeared.

First of all, it is also a tourist attraction here.

‘… … There is no one to protect them.’

As soon as I carefully entered the cave, the surroundings gradually became brighter.

Well, this is similar to the first floor.

A mysterious cave with crystals on the walls and a blue light.

I moved on without hesitation.

It’s not that there aren’t any side roads, but in the game, all you have to do is go straight from the entrance.

Whoops-!

In fact, a wide cavity appeared before long.

At the center of it was a rock that vibrated at regular intervals.

‘Legnarasia.’

The origin of the name is an ancient language, literally translated as ‘Blessing of the Earth’, it was written in a pamphlet-like map.

Is it said that touching it brings good luck?

It’s probably superstitious.

It wasn’t that rock that had the real Hidden Peace element.

slurp.

I opened the subspace bag and took out the mace.

Then, passing the rock in the center, click the interaction button on the wall area where the mural is painted.

Oh, it means I hit it with all my might.

aa-!

A wall that crumbles to pieces with a mace filled with the power of an ogre.

But don’t worry.

Because this cave has a self-healing magic circle.

It will be fixed on its own in 5 minutes or so.

‘Then let’s go.’

Soon, I pushed myself into the passage exposed through the collapsed wall. There was a small space inside, just like in the game.

‘If you look at what’s hidden like this, maybe what’s out there is fake and this is the real thing.’

I put my hand on the rock in the center.

Unlike the outside, it is an ordinary rock that vibrates at regular intervals and does not give a mysterious feeling.

But as time passed, the feeling came.

「The energy of the Earth Dragon resides. (1/3)”

A feeling of satisfaction that flows through your body through your fingertips.

「Spirit power is increased by +10.」

「Increases Earth Resistance by +20.」

It was one of the hidden pieces of honey.

As a noble, there is a condition that you must be able to travel to and from the gnome tree area, but it gives you 30 stats for almost free.

‘I think most people who have played the original version would know. You must have pressed the interaction key wherever you went.’

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

My guess is that there are quite a few players who are aware of this hidden piece.

Well, I still don’t know this.

“The blessing engraved on the soul responds.”

「Additional stat increase is increased to 30%.」

When receiving the Earth Dragon’s blessing, the stat increase rate will be upgraded from 20% to 30%.

‘I didn’t know I would be the first to solve this ban.’

It’s definitely far from normal play.

To become a noble at only level 5?

If it was a game, I’d definitely think I wrote a bug.

‘Anyway, let’s go back soon.’

I must have packed everything I needed to bring, and as soon as I turned my back to the exit, I stiffened.

it’s bound to be

Busss.

A man was standing in front of the wall that had begun to be restored as if back in time.

“Hey, were you a real player?”

It was Lee Baek-ho.

***

All kinds of possibilities run through my mind.

“… … .”

Baekho, why is this guy here?

I haven’t seen any hair since that day.

Could it have been that you were still following me?

The answer was really simple.

“Isn’t human relationships so strange? I was following the GM to see if he was in disguise again, but you will appear.”

This time it was Hans.

Baekho Lee met Hans I by chance in the Gnomes Tree, and found me while following him.

and… … .

‘From then on, you must have followed me.’

A brief outline of the case is drawn.

If so, how should I act now?

It was as if the decision had already been made.

“That’s it again. Aren’t you tired of it?”

It is also not good to reveal my identity to Lee Baek-ho.

Even pretending to be a fickle guy.

Even if you’re friendly, if something goes wrong, you’ll pull out a knife and force a choice.

for example… … .

“Does the cat seem to have noticed to some extent? Wouldn’t it be better to kill him too?”

Yeah, that’s it.

It felt like I was driven out of control, but I was completely ignorant and consistent.

“I think you can see why the chieftain called demons evil.”

“Kiya, it’s okay to have a single mind though. Even in this situation, if you look at your stepping stones.”

“This situation… … ?”

With all his might, he gave a questionable look.

However, Lee Baek-ho just giggled as if it was not feasible.

“Yes, this situation. The fact that you’re here is proof that you’re a player, right? Or, how did you know this was hidden here?”

Okay, I knew you were going to ask that, man.

I replied as if waiting.

By cleverly mixing only the truth.

“I am the benefactor of the dragon clan. After returning the dragon sword to the clan the other day, I became close friends with the ancient dragon ‘Lafir’. Even his daughter, a shaman of the dragon clan, follows me very well.”

Answers suggesting that this information has also been heard from them.

As soon as Lee Baek-ho heard this, he tilted his head.

“… … uh, what Is it real?”

no matter what, it’s real

Because I never lied.

“Then you were the one who was the dragon jab little bastard? Wow, is this really awesome?”

Baekho Lee exclaims as if this is a bit funny.

I sighed inwardly.

Although it was like opening up my hidden information to escape the moment… … .

‘Yes, the ring is broken anyway, right?’

Looking back, it’s not that bad.

This time, the effect of the holy substance must have ended, whether you like it or not, the day will come when you will be reunited with him soon.

There is no need to hide and die like before.

“exactly.”

The man looked at me for a moment and nodded.

“It’s not that I don’t understand. Yeah, if it’s that much publicity, can they tell you something like this? Well, that’s great.”

I mean, did it work?

No, it can’t be.

It’s still too early to say goodbye

I didn’t relax and waited for his next line.

It was when the few seconds that felt like a year passed.

“But there is.”

the guy asked me

smirk

“Why are you answering me so well?”

For a moment, my head went blank.

“The last time I asked if I was a player, I clenched my teeth and didn’t answer.”

“… … .”

“Did you suddenly become so kind?”

fucking bastard.
