Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 262

262 episode bug (1)

Raven asked me quietly when I was told that I was going into the labyrinth.

“Mr. Yandel seems to believe the rumors?”

Believe and sleep, I know the rumors are true.

The outside world is fine, and all the Noark forces have now left.

However… … .

“I don’t fully believe it, but I think it is possible.”

The source of that information was the demon community, so he couldn’t seem too confident.

So I said.

When I went to Bifron in the past, I felt uncomfortable watching the guards looking inside the fortress walls.

“It felt strange at the time, and if the rumors are true, that explains it.”

“Hmm, actually, it’s not that I didn’t have any doubts about that part. Even the tower has no windows, right?”

The tower is a high-rise building that rises higher than the fortress wall.

And instead of permitting construction, the royal family demanded that no windows be made. The superficial reason is that you can’t let the palace look down from the tower.

“What? Wait a minute… So you’re saying it’s really okay outside?”

“It’s still just a story of possibilities.”

To Uncle Bear’s fuss, Raven just cut and drew a line. and looked at me

There were no words, but it was easy to understand what it meant.

Is it really just about believing in the possibilities and going into the labyrinth?

I put the prepared answer into my mouth.

“To be honest, I don’t care whether the rumors are true or not.”

“Why?”

“It seems that the fact that the royal family occupied Noark Castle is unmistakable.”

Does it matter if they’re outside or still hiding underground? Already, the army is occupying the fortress of Noark where the portal is located.

It means you don’t have to worry about meeting the Noarks inside.

“You have the same thoughts as me. like. I agree.”

Raven was also curious about my opinion, but in fact, he voted to agree whether he saw the present as an opportunity.

Voting time started like that.

“Well, that’s what the two of you are saying. I will follow.”

“Oh, are you finally entering the labyrinth again?”

Not only the excited Uncle Bear and Ainar, but also Misha and Erwen agreed to the labyrinth schedule.

So now it’s time to move on to the next step.

“So, how are you going to deal with the personnel issue? If you include Erwen, there are now six.”

“We will split into three groups and meet on the second floor.”

“Hmm, so it will take quite some time on the 4th floor?”

At Raven’s question, Erwen became contemplative and quickly apologized.

“Sorry, I’m sorry. For causing trouble… … .”

“No, I didn’t mean it that way. Really.”

“However… … .”

But that’s what but.

I left before it got any more awkward.

“Still, it won’t take as long as I thought. Unlike me, Erwen is a proper guide. Maybe the overall time will be the same.”

“Oh, then no problem.”

This concludes the story of Erwen.

Then we talked about our future exploration plans, and a unanimous decision was made.

“Yeah, I don’t think I’m ready yet, but… … .”

“It’s because we are a lot stronger now.”

“Fufu, you have to prepare slowly. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there.”

The target is the 6th floor.

***

Even after the clan meeting, a rather busy daily life continued.

It was a day to release the money that had been stagnant in earnest.

“If there is an equipment or item that everyone wants to buy, buy it now. Ainar, before you buy anything, talk to me first.”

“Wow… I’ve heard of it, but it was so bad. The lithium equipment is 700,000 stones… … .”

Food and daily necessities have risen in relative prices, while expedition-related and equipment consumables have literally plummeted.

This is because 70% of the demand base has been blown away.

Most of the explorers died and the related items left in the city became a malignant inventory.

‘Still, this is probably the lowest point.’

In addition to the money that has been raised so far, the money received from the royal family.

I’ve just put a lot of money aside until now because the value goes up even if I stand still, but now is the time to release it.

When the labyrinth is normalized, it will gradually rise.

“This is the most recent transaction requested by Baron Jun.”

“Ah, thank you. I’ll see you soon and give you back.”

In fact, if you look at the market price of the central exchange recently, there is little change. Even just a few days ago, it had been in decline.

There are kids like me who are slowly making money.

Sellers’ expectations that the market will recover soon will also have some impact.

‘If this state had been maintained for a few more months, it might have been possible to graduate from the exchange.’

Even with a little bit of regret, I went to the exchange with my teammates every day and repeated reasonable shopping.

And I bought three items.

「The character is wearing a large battle shield made of adamantium.」

“The overall item level increases by +1,750.”

First, the shield that was shattered in the last battle.

Lee Wang’s new seaweed was adjusted to 5 levels of material.

It was unbelievably cheap.

Some were not made to order, but they were cheaper than the 4th level material, Moonlight Shield.

「The character is No. You have worn 8,820 iron walls.”

“The overall item level increases by +310.”

The second item was steel boots.

This item doubles physical resistance and magic resistance for 3 seconds when used, and it synergizes well with my shield Baba.

Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean it’s a graduation item.

Because there are much better boots among the top numbers.

‘The boots should be enough until the second half.’

The last item I bought was materials.

The name is ‘Soul of the Dead’.

It was the most expensive of the items purchased as a material used to receive the 7th level of Spirit Engraving.

It is also used as an alchemy or magic ingredient.

It was the same as the price plummeted, but the width had to be relatively small.

However… … .

‘Because I don’t know when I’ll get it.’

Price is not an issue, but these materials are harder to obtain than equipment.

Because the stock itself is small.

For that reason, I decided to buy it as soon as I saw it.

‘Cancer, it’s a hundred times better to pay money to buy this yourself.’

‘Soul of the Dead’ is an item that drops with a certain probability when hunting with a ‘distortion’ applied to a Level 4 monster, Rich.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Meaning you don’t know how long it will take to get it yourself.

With that time, you can do more.

“Bjorn, then I’ll go to the training ground!!”

Anyway, when it was time to leave the exchange, Ainar ran to the training ground today.

It looks like you really liked the two numbered items you bought this time.

“Misha, are you?”

“I have to go home. I have to prepare dinner.”

“Then you can take Abman back.”

“yes? Aren’t you going home?”

“Today, I want to stop by the Holy Land for a while. He may not be able to come today.”

At my words, Misha flinched for a moment, then stared at me.

“If it’s a holy land… … ?”

Oh, it was because of this keyword.

I hurriedly added a further explanation.

“Didn’t you buy the ingredients this time? I’m going to go get a soul engraving.

“Ah, yes. I see yes, yes… … .”

After that day, sometimes awkward situations like this happened. We both decided to do something we didn’t have, but where would that be easier?

“Well then, go ahead. The kids will be well taken care of.”

“okay… Please.”

After that, I parted from Misha and got on a carriage heading towards the holy land. On the other side, I could see Misha waiting in a chair while the carriage was still waiting.

“… … .”

“… … .”

When our eyes met, Misha hurriedly avoided her gaze, then looked at me again and stiffly waved her hand.

‘Oh, it’s really uncomfortable and I’m going to die.’

I nodded awkwardly and pulled the curtains on the carriage. Belatedly, I was wondering what I was doing, but I felt a sense of humiliation… … .

Still, this has improved a lot.

Isn’t there a saying that time is medicine?

If you keep pretending it’s okay, one day it will really happen.

“Then I will leave.”

Soon, the carriage moved and left the platform, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I arrived at the destination.

The platform on the outskirts of District 7 closest to the Holy Land.

Crossing the gate and walking along the forest path, a barbarian’s camp appeared.

“Long time no see. Is it Dalian?”

Once we opened the tribal chief’s tent, we entered and greeted each other.

‘Huh, luckily, I haven’t heard of the oracle yet.’

I was a little worried because the goblin cub was talking about the oracle at the round table, but fortunately it didn’t seem to even go into the chief’s ear.

Well, I guess it’s just a matter of time.

“I came to see the shaman.”

“powwow? Then it’s a bad time. I can’t see a shaman now.”

“Why?”

“He’s going through a ‘whisper’ right now.”

“Break up… … ?”

A proper noun you’ve never heard of in the game.

“You don’t know?”

As I tilted my head, the chieftain’s eyes narrowed.

There wasn’t much of a problem.

In the past, it was common sense, but I would have flinched as if I was the only one who didn’t know… … .

“I forgot.”

As I was living as a barbarian, I realized it naturally.

The lack of common sense is not unusual for a barbarian.

“Right.”

As expected, the chief of the tribe was easily convinced and briefly explained what ‘haunted’ was.

“Happiness is a ritual that needs to be performed every few years to practice magic.”

“Then how long do we have to wait?”

“We started the ceremony at the beginning of the month, so we can meet next month.”

Hmm, next month… … .

“i get it. Then come back then.”

I left the regret behind and took a step back.

***

In the late evening, drunken people began to appear all over the street.

We gathered at Uncle Bear’s tavern.

Oh, by the way, we were the only ones in the store because there was a sign that was closed today.

My mother-in-law was healthy enough to work in a bar even though she was full term, but now her due date is really near.

“Are you really okay? Even if you are not by my side.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a one-day trip, isn’t it great? I’m going to have a baby soon, so I have to work harder. My wife also agreed to this, so don’t worry.”

“If so.”

It was half empty, so I didn’t say anything more.

To be honest, this is the one thing that really bothered me when Mr. Bear said he would fall for it.

“Then, first of all, we will form a bond.”

After a quick meal at Uncle Bear’s tavern, Raven divided the three of them and cast a unity spell.

Team distribution was simple.

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Me, Mister Bear, and Raven are Team A.

Erwen, Misha, and Ainar are Team B.

Anyway, it doesn’t mean much since we will only move separately on the first floor and meet on the second floor.

“The time has come, so let’s go.”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

As soon as we finished preparing and headed to the Dimension Square, Raven stopped us.

And with a somewhat embarrassed expression, he took out a few small objects from the subspace.

“that… Are you a clan now? I have some free time these days, so I made a sentence.”

It was the emblem.

Isn’t that

It’s the one he always wears on his armor when he’s an explorer with a clan.

“After looking into this while making it, they said that the symbolism of the clan crest is the most important thing. So, I borrowed Yandel’s nickname and made it a giant… … .”

“But this isn’t a giant, it’s an ogre, right?”

“Oh, if you don’t like it, give it to me!”

“I didn’t say I didn’t like it. When I come back tomorrow, I will officially register as a clan crest in the guild.”

Raven’s expression brightened when he even said that he would be registered as a clan crest for a while, even when he got mad at my jokes.

It looks like I was expecting it anyway.

“Come on, everyone. I’ll put it on you.”

Soon after, Raven attached the emblem to the equipment of his colleagues with his own magic.

After I put it on, it was pretty cool.

Do you think you became a really good explorer?

“Thank you, Raven. I didn’t say anything, but you took care of these things.”

“… … First of all, it’s also my clan.”

“That’s what thank you.”

“Empty words. And I’m going to go quickly. I will be late.”

Well, to be ashamed of.

After finishing the emblem installation, we hurriedly headed to the Dimension Square. There were quite a few people around to see.

Those looking at this side from afar from the square.

“Hey, did Bjorn Jandel come over there too?”

“Are you going to go in again even after going through that?”

“I created a clan and the number is six.”

“But what is that sentence? Are you an ogre?”

“Probably so, one of Bjorn Yandel’s essence is an ogre.”

The area around the square was crowded with more people than expected, but there were only a few people waiting to enter.

Only three or four hundred people?

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Most of them were low-rise explorers who had no choice but to bring their equipment and come out because they were in a hurry.

‘If all the other squares are in this state, the upper floor is almost empty, right?’

I finally spent the rest of my time checking out my exploration plan, and before long a portal opened with a light bursting out of the center of the square.

“You have entered the first-floor crystal cave.”

This time, there were quite a few things to do in the labyrinth.
