Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 251

251 Fire Gnome Tree (5)

No more excuses.

No matter how clever you try to deceive him, he won’t fall for you.

I’ll try to give you a definitive answer somehow.

‘Nimiral.’

Aside from the displeasure of being forced to make a choice, my head has already begun to assume in detail the options I have been given and their consequences one by one.

What is really best for me?

“excuse me? don’t you talk? Why are you being kind?”

Ha, sneezing baby.

I was like, ‘I just wanted to do that, is there any problem?’ I want to enter the ignorant barbarian mode with the same lines.

However… … .

‘If that’s the case, it might be a real deal.’

I am weaker than him.

Therefore, a combo of swinging a mace is impossible when he persistently shows his doubts, saying that there must be a problem with his head.

Because I will be the one whose head is broken.

“Hey, do you see that you have become unkind again soon?”

Baekho Lee sighed as if frustrated, and looked at me with blue eyes.

“Why do you keep asking? I have no intention of believing you anyway.”

I didn’t bother to hide the sigh that burst out.

But was it all the same for Lee Baek-ho that was frustrating?

“No, that’s because it’s a little different from hearing it with your mouth, isn’t it?”

Yes, I know what you mean.

That’s why I tried to hide it until the end.

‘Yes, I’ll get an answer somehow.’

It was time to admit it.

A lot of things have already gone wrong to overcome this situation without any cost.

Giving up has to give up.

for example… … .

“It is said that manners make a person.”

Even though I bought doubts many times, my true identity has never been revealed even once.

“yes?”

Lee Baek-ho shows a look that seems bewildered by the sudden change of posture.

There was nothing to hold on to because the decision was made.

“Hey, if you’re just like this, isn’t it polite to just pretend you don’t know?”

“what? really? Were you really a player?”

When I heard the truth through my mouth, Lee Baek-ho’s eyes lit up in surprise.

‘Yeah, you were really out of curiosity.’

tantrums are brewing

Will he really know?

It’s the first time I’ve ever used Bjorn Yandel’s body like this.

‘Still, I feel cool somewhere.’

I glared at him, feeling a strange sense of liberation and resentment at the same time.

But has this bastard lost his empathy level?

“Wow, by the way, you saw that movie!”

Even in the midst of this, she only focuses on the topics she is interested in and wants to talk about.

Does he have no real social skills?

“… … An apology would come first.”

A bizarre sight where barbarians discuss social common sense and morality with humans.

“Oh, I’m sorry. But when I saw that movie, I suddenly didn’t feel like anyone else. It’s a movie I really like.”

Baekho Lee spat out a soulless apple and carefully asked one more thing.

“… … But have you seen part 2?”

What the hell are you doing with this?

Isn’t this enough to make even barbarians cry?

“… … I saw it.”

Once you have answered

Well, I just chewed it and I don’t know when I’ll switch again—

“But why are you talking nonsense to me?”

huh?

“No, why are you talking nonsense before? Mutual respect don’t you know? Is it okay if the same player puts a knife in the belly button without breaking it?”

Lee Baek-ho suddenly began to express his intentions to live after expressing what was so upset about him.

I think I’m going out of my mind

“… … I’m not used to John.”

“Oh, you were from the West!”

That’s how it’s interpreted.

It was said with a barbarian in mind.

“Then let’s talk to each other. good?”

Baek-ho Lee asked for a handshake with a bright smile as if he had ever done that.

At first glance, it looks like a bipolar patient, but… … .

‘I’m sober.’

Rather, it made my head feel refreshed.

I didn’t know maybe this was this guy’s rhetoric.

It is to take the initiative based on the force you have and leave your soul alone so that there is no time to think.

‘Is it possible that you were talking about the second movie to find out when I came, or just to confirm that I am from the East?’

Maybe it’s just a simple leap.

But first you better be careful.

‘Let’s hide that it’s Lee Han-soo.’

In fact, this part was a concern until the very end.

If I were to open up to being a player anyway, I thought it would be better to reveal it and become friends.

However, for one reason, the decision was put on hold.

[The cat seems to have noticed to some extent? Wouldn’t it be better to kill him?]

Previously, it was just advice.

It was close to the feeling of flirting with someone I just met while passing by.

One moment when I reveal that I am Lee Han-soo.

This problem will now be his business.

This guy is Lee Han-soo.

No, because I cared for the few ‘Korean players’ in this unfamiliar world.

“But the fact that I’m a player… … .”

“Oh, I’m so worried! don’t tell anyone Do I look like someone who doesn’t have that much manners?”

The word ‘yes’ came up to the end of my throat, but I struggled to endure it.

The more I talk, the better I know.

Lee Baek-ho is like a ball that doesn’t know where it will bounce.

So it should never be tied.

At least until you feel confident that you can control him.

“By the way, I’m really glad that you answered honestly.”

“… … ?”

“You said you became a noble this time? When we met again, if it was a real NPC, I was going to kill him before joining the royal family.”

My heart was pounding at the words that were spit out as if it was nothing.

“… … What?”

“Why are you surprised? It’s not like I’m just enjoying PK. Well, if it wasn’t for an NPC who was born with fate. They have a bit of a headache for me too.”

I can’t even understand what you’re talking about.

I was a little curious so I asked him, but Baekho Lee drew a line around it saying that there was just such a thing.

Zep, is it because it’s Bjorn Yandel from the West?

If it was Korean Lee Han-soo, I think he would have answered.

“Oh, and I’ll give you one more piece of advice just in case. It’s funny to say this to someone who is already aristocrat, but don’t get too attached to the royal family.”

“The reason is?”

“The royal family is not interested in opening the ‘gates of the abyss’. No, I’m serious about disturbing you. The disappearance of the Genesis Noble Phantasm may have been the fault of those bastards.”

in the royal family? why?

It is known that there is a key to saving this world in the deepest part of the labyrinth, but was it all Gura?

There were as many things I wanted to ask as much as I had questions.

However, when I asked anything, Baek-ho Lee only said this with an annoyed face.

“You know what to do?”

If that’s the case, I don’t think GM will answer anyone’s question.

Therefore, when the taste buds again in regret.

“So are you there too?”

“Is that one?”

“You know, the kids who just want to live here. At that time, when I saw that I was risking my life on an NPC, I thought it might be that, but just looking at the growth rate, I wondered if that was the case. Which one is it?”

“What would you do if you wanted to stay?”

“What should I do? There’s a kid like that. I’m not that tight-knit, am I? It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t bother me.”

I quietly looked into Lee Baek-ho’s eyes.

It wasn’t really meaningful.

Those blue eyes had no idea what he was thinking.

‘It doesn’t seem like I’m just thinking about it… … .’

After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth.

“I do not know.”

It was the most honest answer I could give.

“At first, my goal was to return, but now I wonder if I should risk my life to do that.”

“Because of that enemy clan?”

“… … .”

I didn’t answer.

But would that have been enough?

“It’s like seeing the old days.”

Baekho Lee said with a smirk.

“I’m telling you because it seems like there’s still a lot of buds, but don’t expect too much from NPCs. You will definitely regret it.”

I could feel the chilling emotions hidden in the smiling voice, and suddenly I had this question.

What really happened to him?

What in the world has he been through to become such a broken monster that only wants his ‘return’?

It was unknown to me now.

“Then all my questions have been answered, so can I go now?”

Soon Lee Baek-ho turned his back as if everything had been done. And with a single gesture, the wall that had been restored by itself was demolished.

No, can you see that I broke that down?

Bussoo good

The remnants of the wall that have turned into dust and blown away.

Baekho Lee beckoned once more, and even the dust was carried away by the wind.

‘… … I’m glad I didn’t use the ignorant mode.’

I was terrified at the thought that it might have been my head that turned into dust.

When I watched Lee Baek-ho leave.

“Oh right.”

Baekho turned his head and looked at me.

And he told me the last words I couldn’t finish.

“By the way, the next time we meet, will we be strangers?”

“What does that mean?”

“If we meet by chance, don’t pretend to be close.”

“… … .”

“Because I don’t build anything like that in this world.”

gosh, baby

to refine.

***

After Lee Baek-ho left, he left the cave and returned to his dorm without looking back.

and the next morning.

“Ugh, uncle… i’m gonna die… … .”

I spent the morning resting with the three of us who were suffering from a hangover.

“Bjorn… … . But when did you come? Did you do well what you were going to do yesterday?”

For reference, Misha had no memory of coming to the dormitory because she had forgotten everything last night.

I was rather fortunate.

[Is it because I couldn’t have a barbarian?]

If I had known that you said this to me yesterday, it would have been awkward to talk face-to-face.

“If you have completed all the quests, can you play without any worries from today?”

“Of course.”

In case you didn’t know, I made a schedule for 3 days and 2 nights, but on the first day, all my business at Noark was over.

So all the remaining time is free.

“ooh! I’m going to play!!”

In the end, the two days spent playing together until late at night.

It was quite a fun day.

Well, if it wasn’t for the last drowning.

“Ainar!! I told you not to move like that!!”

It happened at the fishing ground.

I was fishing at night with a lantern lit, but Ainar was bitten by a fish and had a seizure, and the boat overturned.

The problem was that no one could swim.

Seriously, how many kids have been to such a deep water?

‘I really thought I was going to die.’

Still, thanks to you, I learned one thing.

In the past, when I fell into the water in the ‘Glacier Cave’, I thought it would sink because of the armor, but it wasn’t.

Barbarians cannot swim.

It’s not the realm of technique, it’s because they don’t have any other option than to sink when they fall into the water.

Well, using the gigantic (transcendence) mode, my head came out and I was able to ask for help.

‘When I get back, I’ll have to sell my feet to see if there is a place where I can learn to swim. I don’t know Ainar or I, but they should know how to do it.’

Anyway, two days passed like that and the next day.

We slept all night drinking and woke up at noon and got into the wagon on our way home.

“Ugh, I wish I had one more day, but I’m really leaving like this.”

“It’s sympathetic. My uncle doesn’t drink much at home… … .”

“Oh oh! Missha! There are horses running!”

A few hours of carriage rides while viewing natural scenery that is rare in the city.

Soon we arrived at the southwest exit, and we returned the whistle we received when entering and leaving.

‘It turned out that this was it.’

The whistle that the vigilantes, one of the pride of Gnomes Tree, come running at the moment it blows, wherever and whenever it is blown.

I wonder what it would have been like if I had blown this when I was Lee Baek-ho, but it probably wouldn’t have changed much.

I don’t think he would have given me the time to do that.

“Then I’ll rest, so tell me if you’re hungry later.”

After arriving home in the evening, we each went back to our rooms to rest, and the next day was no different.

A time of peaceful rest.

This time, as always, passed so quickly.

and… … .

“I’m going out for a while.”

Finally the day came.

[22:10]

Two hours left until midnight when the labyrinth opens.

I finished getting ready to go out and headed to the Dimension Square.

‘They said they were sharpening knives in the royal family.’

Rumor has it that the royal family has an army.

Since you got it right in one shot, are you trying to pay it back by sticking to the labyrinth this time?

It is not known what size it was.

Well, it seems that this time, as in the previous subjugation, there was no official request for cooperation from the clan.

It is intended to be handled thoroughly with the power of the royal family.

‘When you arrive at the square, you’ll get a sense of it. How much power is the royal family?’

In fact, I see explorers all over the place, like me, heading to the square to check the trend.

Everyone is curious

The real power of the royal family, which no one has seen properly, with only words.

“Oh, Bjorn! Are you going to the square too?”

“Because I’m worried about it.”

On the way, we saw some familiar faces, so we started talking together.

and how much has passed

“… … This was unexpected.”

All the explorers who came here, including me, tilted their heads.

“I hope there will be no one there.”

there is no one

Guards belonging to the National Security Agency occupy the square and prevent explorers from entering.

But, that’s all.

“The army?”

No matter where you look, the army of rumors is nowhere to be seen.

“You haven’t come yet?”

“My friend, is it possible? Now, in 5 minutes, the labyrinth will open. If it still doesn’t exist, it’s probably right that there just wasn’t an army.”

“Kim is falling. Maybe it was just a rumor that it was going to be a match.”

The explorers gathered near the square did not hide their disappointment and left their seats one by one.

This is the same thing with the explorers I met while coming here.

“Yandel, aren’t you going?”

“I’m going to watch a little more.”

“Hmm, then I’ll go first.”

I waited for the portal to open and close after a while, just in case.

As for the result, there really was no army.

‘what? Are you aiming for the next one, not today?’

I was full of doubts, but being here right now won’t change anything.

I also gave up and turned around.

That was the moment.

Woo-woo-woo-woo!

There was a faint sound of collapse from somewhere.

Deed, deed, deed-!

Before long, the ground with his feet shook.

“What, what? earthquake?”

Officials and security guards, who were full of them, stood still with bewildered faces.

However… … .

“… … .”

The few knights in the square were different.

There was no change in their facial expressions, so they chatted with each other with a face that felt even more miserable.

As if it had finally begun.

‘Yeah, that’s what it was.’

Immediately, I turned my gaze and looked down at the ground.

Somehow, he seemed to know where the royal family was.

Even if I can’t see it right now in front of my eyes.

‘Empty furry.’

The war has already begun.
