Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 257

257 Tua Clan (1)

After the royal army returned.

People realized that the military existed, and that the reason he was not seen in the Dimensional Square was because he had gone down to the basement to loot an empty house.

but… … .

‘What happened?

No one knew the outcome.

So all sorts of speculations began to circulate.

From whether they won or lost, to the unfounded conspiracy theory that the royal family is only pretending to fight the underground city.

Every morning, new hypotheses arose among the luxuries, and eventually, a few days later, the royal family officially put up posters throughout the city.

To sum it up briefly, it was as follows.

Damn we won, we conquered even Noark. So stop worrying.

I didn’t know how far this was going to be true.

However, assuming that Daejabo is based on some truth, let’s make up for some missing points… … .

‘Are you sure. For once, there was no battle.’

It was difficult to find traces of battle in the appearance of the knights returning to the royal palace.

‘Perhaps the Noarks ran away.’

If so, where did they run away?

A world blocked on all sides by walls.

It doesn’t even make sense to hide on the ground.

If enough people come up on the ground, there is no choice but to leave a trace somehow.

‘Then you’re still down here… … .’

“Bjorn! Stop playing and come and get some of this!”

Yes, I need to move my luggage.

If I think about it for a hundred days, will I get an answer?

It is wise to wait for the round table of which the clown is a member to open.

So, after finishing his thoughts, he moved his body.

“Oh, could you put the bed over here?”

The place I am currently in is an orphanage under the Reatlas Church, and I was taking the luggage out of the building that was going to be demolished under the guise of a moving center staff.

Now I have to slowly build up public values.

Occasionally, when there are quests that can be done in the church, people who have spare time go and get rid of them.

“Einar! I thought you wouldn’t be found out if you were secretly resting!”

“Shh, I didn’t take a break, I just played with the little ones!”

“Ahhh! This sister broke my doll!! The murderer who killed the doll!!”

“that… I was trying to tell a person’s vital point, but I had no choice but to… … !”

There were various happenings today, but after an hour or two, the moving of the luggage was all over.

Therefore, today’s quest ends at this point.

After that, I had a quick meal at a restaurant near the church, and then I heard a strange thing from Misha.

“Is that like that? Is the orphanage you went to there today?”

“Are you there?”

“It’s not like that. Dwalkie had been there for a while when he was young. That old building was supposed to be demolished tomorrow.”

“… … I did.”

“Anyway, that’s just it! I’m goofy! Oh, and it’s a little late today, so let’s eat dinner by ourselves.”

After the meal, they disbanded immediately.

Misha left, saying she had an appointment with one of her old colleagues, and Ainar headed to the Holy Land.

and… … .

“Huhu, is it just the two of us now?”

“I have a place to stop by, so go home first.”

“… … to?”

Erwen, who had no particular schedule, sent him home and found the guild alone. There was never an escort knight who once accompany each other every day.

Well, they all left at the end of last month.

Did the upper management give you an order to return because it was enough?

‘At that time, I thought it was just that, but it must have been because of the attack on Noark.’

If the Noarks all ran away and are somewhere in the basement, I wonder if they would send the knights back… … .

I decided not to expect too much.

Even so, didn’t one of the knights tell me before he left that they had a close relationship for a month?

[Please take care of yourself. If the assassins come back, even then, the superior judges that it is more likely to be the work of a large clan than Noark.]

It seems that the ‘deer antler’ that was attached to me as an escort meant that the ‘assassination’ that the clown was talking about meant the work of a large clan.

After all, it’s already been almost a month for the assassin to come ‘soon’.

[But then, shouldn’t I be more protective of you? The goal of a large clan must be the royal family, right?]

[…] … You don’t have to worry about that part.]

In addition, looking at the nuances of speech, the royal family seemed to have completed all preparations to block without damage even if a large clan tried to launch a public opinion battle again.

So now you don’t need to protect me.

‘Well, there are parts that I’m more comfortable without.’

As I was moving with my thoughts in order, I arrived at the Explorers’ Guild. However, there is no need to take a numbered ticket and wait as before.

In the beginning, there were not many explorers, and… … .

“Baron Bjorn Yandel, your identity verification is complete. We will guide you to the branch manager’s office.”

Yes, it’s the noblest title I’ve ever had, but I should enjoy the benefits in this way.

“Not for the branch manager, but for the regional head.”

The staff asked if he had come with an advance contract, but such trivial details were stamped and pressed with the power of the nobility.

“Are you rebels?”

A barbarian who can’t speak a word and a nobleman who doesn’t want to listen are combined.

It’s called Barbarian Noblesse Mode.

“… … I’ll see you soon.”

As soon as I went up to the 4th floor, the staff knocked and announced my visit, and soon after, I heard a loud sigh and the door opened.

I immediately went inside and sat down on the sofa.

Then he put his feet on the table and said arrogantly.

“Greetings.”

“… … .”

“Aren’t you?”

As soon as I finished my words, the regional manager, who must have been working at the office desk, got up and greeted me.

“Yandel… Junior Baron… Did you come… … .”

Well, isn’t it time to get used to it?

“Okay, sit down.”

As soon as I was allowed to sit, the regional manager sat across from me. It’s happened a few times already, but it’s still exciting.

Is this the true taste of power?

“… … What are you up to today?”

Area 7 leader of the Explorers’ Guild, Nile Urbans.

A guy who has had a bad relationship with me in the past asks me in a polite tone unlike in the past.

Of course, it wasn’t like this from the beginning.

Originally, he tried to match me by using Haoche, but I ended up using this kind of tone when I got angry about whether I was insulting the nobility.

“I’m here to see if any explorers have responded to the recruitment announcement.”

“That’s enough in the branch manager’s office downstairs… … .”

What else is this guy saying?

The reason I have to come all the way to the headquarters of District 7 is because of you.

“To the nobles… … retort?”

“… … I will check it right away.”

“You may make mistakes like in the past, so do it yourself. Don’t let people do it.”

“Yes… … .”

After that, the regional manager headed down to do what I had ordered, and I waited while chewing the sweets on the table.

How long has it been since then?

“Here it is.”

The regional chief came back with some papers.

I snatched it up quickly and read it without saying that I had a hard time, and there was no significant difference from when I came two days ago.

“Only one applicant has increased, and even that one is not good.”

“sorry.”

“It’s not for you to apologize.”

He shows his generosity as a superior from time to time, and I read the documents again. Exactly 31 explorers have applied for the fellow recruitment notice posted a few days ago.

Contrary to expectations, the number of applicants is small.

This is because the number of explorers trying to enter the labyrinth is small these days.

‘Still, the clans were so smashed, I thought I would support more than this.’

I put the papers down, leaving my regrets behind.

Although on paper, none of the explorers could get to the interview stage.

The ‘special occupation group’ I was looking for was still nowhere to be found.

After all, do we have no choice but to wait in vain?

“But I… … .”

“Speak without procrastination.”

“Do you have any special occupations that you would like to have?”

“There is no such thing, as long as you have good skills. But why?”

“It was because I saw a famous name among the applicants’ names.”

The regional chief then spoke about how capable, trustworthy, and promising the explorer was.

He seemed to want me to find a colleague sooner rather than later.

However… … .

“stop!!”

I threw the papers on the floor and sprinted out of the district chief’s office.

No matter how great the specs are.

“You just have to do what I tell you!”

Are you crazy to have Hans on the team?

***

Nearly two weeks have passed since the fire broke out. What I’ve done so far can be roughly summarized into a few things.

It’s a shrine affair.

Stop by the Holy Land and fight with the chieftain.

Wander around the commercial city of Commelby and check the prices.

Then, every three days, he went to the guild and pecked the regional leader to relieve stress.

They had quite productive schedules, but none of them had any immediate results.

The currency value seems to continue to rise for a while, so keep it.

‘It seems like it will take another two or three months for the priest to reach the minimum official value… … .’

The same goes for recruiting colleagues.

There is no sign of a special occupation group that is essential on the 6th floor, and the two remaining positions to fill 10 people did not find a suitable person.

‘After all, if the labyrinth is opened before then, there is no choice but to climb up with just six people.’

that’s a bit disappointing.

Usually, when dividing a team into two or more, they meet on the 5th floor.

This is because, when the number of people exceeds 5, it takes a considerable amount of time to pass by the 4th floor.

A painful loss for an explorer whose time is money.

‘… … However, there are still a lot of things I am uneasy about to divide into threes and threes. It would be right to just meet on the second floor and go up safely.’

Of course, it is a bit premature.

After all, if the entrance to the labyrinth is delayed a few more months, it will all be meaningless. What is important is when the situation will stabilize again.

‘Hopefully we’ll find out today.’

The 15th of Ghostbusters.

I started preparing to enter the community in the morning and headed to the Holy Land.

Because I just can’t get in this time.

‘GM.’

The situation in which GM is suspicious of me as an evil spirit.

It is highly likely that GM will aim for today.

Obviously, if I were a guy, I would.

12 hours spent in the community.

In other words, 12 seconds in real life.

As I’ve always thought, this brief moment is a huge weakness for community users.

Because you are cut off from reality for 12 seconds.

It doesn’t happen even if you get stabbed in the throat with a knife, so if you use this moment wisely, it’s possible to tell if you’re a player or not.

However… … .

‘After all, it’s a shame not to go in.’

I decided to enter the community.

As there was a major incident between the royal family and Noark, it was judged that there would be a lot of information to come out.

Besides, didn’t ‘Soul Queens’, GM’s right-hand man, also joined the round table last time as a freshman?

Due to the absence of the ‘Investigator’, it may become possible to connect me and the investigator in the future.

‘… … Is that a bit of a leap?’

Anyway, the point is this.

It’s called life history.

I don’t know if GM will try to confirm by targeting those 12 seconds, but there is no reason not to prepare.

“Bjorn, did you call me?”

“Oh, I have something to ask you.”

“Request?”

“Would you like to try this on your face?”

Arriving at the Holy Land, I called Charon and handed him the ‘Golden Mask’, a hidden item I had previously obtained from the Blood Citadel.

“What is this? I like it because it’s shiny… … .”

“A magic tool that changes faces for 30 days.”

“yes? But why do you do that to me?”

“Because you are the most similar to me.”

Afterwards, I asked Karon to drink in the city with my face on until tomorrow morning.

“It’s not a difficult request, why would you do such a troublesome thing?”

“I have a place to go to secretly from my colleagues at night.”

“… … It seems that the prisoner doesn’t understand you well.”

huh? Why is Suin suddenly appearing here?

I wanted to know what he meant, but I understood immediately after the next sentence.

“It is the warrior’s instinct to want to have offspring. Is that why you came to the Holy Land today?”

I pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Come to think of it, it was because this one seemed to be much better kept secret than the excuses I had prepared.

“Anyway, don’t worry about this part! I will do my best without any doubt even if that beast woman comes!”

No, I’m sure he’ll get caught when he comes.

So I just told him to drink outside all night.

“I believe. You are the wisest warrior after me.”

“Wow, did you think so too?! pleased!”

After giving notice about the precautions and movement route, I put my equipment on Charon, who changed into me, and sent it out to the city.

and… … .

「The character used the ‘Golden Mask’.」

“The appearance of the character will change for 30 days.”

I put the mask on my face once and then took it off and changed it to Charon’s face.

That’s because I stand out when I’m in the Holy Land with my face.

If there were eyewitness accounts in both places, everything I did today would be meaningless.

‘For now, I must go back to the city.’

I was in the Holy Land and my acquaintances could find out my identity, so I quickly put on Charon’s gear and got out of the bushes and headed for the city.

Then he got into any lodging and locked himself in a room.

how long has it been since

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

Whoo, I hope I don’t just cause weird accidents with my face.
