Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 296

296 episodes newbie (4)

A city full of affection, Noark.

However, if you interpret this word differently, it can mean that there is only ‘jeong’ to see.

The price is so jumbled up that I can’t get used to it.

Outdated and outdated administrative services.

Even this morning, when I went to the labyrinth management office to receive the binding magic, the administrative wizard in the queue, who was standing there, said he was tired on the way and came to rest for an hour.

Well, after that, I went to the front row on a whim and was given my turn.

“How long will you be like this?”

“Ah, I’m in a weird mood for a second. This plan is really the same as it is 20 years from now.”

“What are you talking about again and again?”

Well, there is no romance.

Even if the cancer is the same, it’s a labyrinth from 20 years ago, right?

“Follow me.”

After looking around and falling into various emotions for a while, I ran after Amelia, who had started running first.

It was a little odd.

Looking at it, it seems that we are on the right track… … .

How do you find your way without looking at the compass?

‘Ah, maybe… … .’

“Are you a guide?”

At my question, Amelia looked back for a moment, then started running again without saying a word.

But that was the answer.

‘crazy… … .’

A human character with the characteristics of an auror user, doppelganger essence, and even a guide?

Once again, I think the world is unfair.

I’m also a little greedy.

‘I think it would be really reliable to have a kid like this on the team… … .’

Will you accept me if I go back and recruit you after getting closer here? There’s still plenty of space left to fill the clan’s capacity of 10… … .

Oh, by the way, my clan will be doing fine without me, right?

“… … .”

It was a time when I was running after Amelia, thinking about things like that.

“Oh, are you two going?”

A group of explorers encountered along the way spoke to me.

It was not a low-level explorer, but a group running towards the second floor like us to shorten the travel time.

‘This is quite tense.’

My current affiliation is Noark, not Rafdonia.

Maybe that’s why, I’m worried that there might be something suspicious about us from the other side.

Well, it was a useless worry as a result.

“Don’t be interested.”

“Heh heh, that’s harsh. suffer!”

As Amelia spoke coldly, the group smiled cheerfully and disappeared along the way.

“Why are you so frozen?”

“just… It doesn’t matter. I just thought that it would be difficult to live with sinning.”

“… … … what?”

Amelia asked as if she had heard something she couldn’t hear, and then smiled genuinely.

“Hot, ha ha ha ha!”

To be honest, it was very different from my point of view.

He didn’t say anything that would make him laugh, and I’ve never seen him laugh so loudly in the first place.

“… … Whoops, do you like things like this?”

When I asked, feeling a certain sense of pride, Amelia stopped laughing and smirked.

“Don’t get me wrong. It was ridiculous, so I just laughed.”

Uh huh, if that’s the case, lower the corners of your mouth and say something.

Since he’s from Noark, his humor code is also very weird.

Was it so much fun that I was trembling with anxiety?

Amelia opened her mouth as she made a loud and disgruntled tongue.

“The ones I just saw in the first place are from Noark.”

“What?”

The guy who just seemed like a pleasant old man was from Noark?

“How do you know that? I heard that it is up to this side to decide whether to wear the camp sign or not.”

Amelia briefly explained my question.

There were no wizards and priests in the team.

As if the equipment was stolen from someone, the colors and designs of the equipment they were wearing were not uniform.

And above all… … .

“The only ones who carry a kid whose face is covered with a robe are from this side.”

“Are you a kid? Oh, you mean the little explorer behind you?”

“okay.”

“Hmm, I thought it was just a short girl or a dwarf… … . How are you sure?”

Amelia answered my question in a slightly rigid voice.

“Just, I know by looking.”

“What?”

“Okay, let’s move on.”

Amelia cut off the conversation as if it was not something she wanted to talk about for a long time.

This is one of the bad habits of this woman.

Ha, it really makes people curious.

“Amelia.”

“… … .”

“But if what you say is true, then why do people from Noark bring their little ones into the labyrinth?”

Instead of asking how he could recognize the little boy at a glance, he asked something a little different.

Whether this was ok, Amelia also answered.

“First of all, children can be fed with pennies.”

“Hmm, I wonder if that would be a reason to bring him to the labyrinth.”

“It is surprisingly useful. It can do tedious things like cooking and staying vigilant, and it helps with looting.”

“It helps with looting… … ?”

“I use it as bait. When a child comes up to you and asks for help, even the most vigilant explorers will want to hear from you.”

Well, is it?

“It’s strange. If it were me, I would be more wary when a child approaches. In Lafdonia, it is not possible to prevent minors from entering the labyrinth.”

“That’s because you’re a person 20 years from now. The law has not changed since then, but at this time, public officials were also tacitly giving permission.”

Wow, when he said this, a real old man said, ‘When I was… … .’ seems to say

“But Amelia, how old are you?”

“… … Move your feet while you’re talking nonsense.”

Anyway, after that, we continued chatting and headed to the second floor, and arrived at our destination as quickly as we ran.

Again, the portal had been opened by someone.

🥺, I’m sorry I think we came pretty early too.

“Go up.”

As soon as we entered the portal, a gloomy yet muddy air greeted us.

‘I feel bad whenever I come here.’

land of the dead.

It is the area where various undead monsters such as ghouls and deathpinds appear, and the place where Amelia and I first met.

‘After all, I thought I was going to get bored because I was really scared.’

Seeing this makes me want to know what people really do.

How could I have known that I would come back here alone, this time as a teammate?

“Amelia, I have a question for you.”

“do not do that.”

“I told you at Bifron back then. Those you killed here were guilty of worthy of death. Maybe it had something to do with the past you were trying to fix?”

“You… … You have a lot of questions for me.”

“Of course.”

Nodding her head unaffected by the sarcasm, Amelia responded with a kick.

“Yes, there is a relationship.”

Well, it was too.

I want to hear the story behind the scenes, but the look on my face makes me angry, so I quit.

I’ll have to ask this again later.

“Once the question is over, move on.”

We entered the second floor and moved without stopping while slaughtering the monsters.

But is it because there are two people?

It reminded me of the time when I was living as an explorer as a duo with Ainar, and the feeling was new.

At that time, one battle was a drudgery.

time is so fast

Puff-!

Suddenly, even Deathpind can be beaten to death with bare fists.

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!!!”

“… … .”

“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s a habit.”

“Okay, sit down. Let’s rest here for a while.”

So I just moved all day, and when it was night time, I settled down and sat down. And we agreed to eat a light meal and sleep only three hours before moving.

Note that there was no punctuation number.

Is it okay to summon an alter ego with [Self-Replica]?

“… … Will that happen?”

There was no ‘auto-hunting’ mode attached to the doppelganger essence in the game.

If so, how did this happen?

The answer was indeed simple.

“Don’t worry. I haven’t slept properly since I became an adult.”

Because he is half-awake even though he is sleeping all the time, he can control his body to some extent.

Well, first of all, this is what this woman said.

I don’t know if this is biologically possible.

“tt, for some reason, my eyes are always open.”

“Are you going to fight?”

“In terms of personality, I was told to sleep well.”

“… … .”

Anyway, during auto-hunting mode, movement becomes slower than usual, but on the lower floors, this should be sufficient.

“Then rest.”

So, I just sat there without any objection.

Sleep did not come immediately.

It wasn’t that I was worried about not having a nightmare.

After all, I’m a tanker, so even if I get hit in my sleep, I’m not going to change anything right away.

‘Are the kids doing well? … .’

As I was camping in the labyrinth, thoughts of my colleagues in particular kept running through my mind.

So the first night passed.

***

Day 2 of entering the labyrinth.

We arrived on the 3rd floor just on schedule.

So now it’s your turn to do the mission that slowly entered the labyrinth.

Oh, there is only one mission.

Returning with achievements that can catch the eyes of Noark Castle.

[From the first day I came down to Noark, I have been proving my skills by going wild in the city. But even so, Seongju did not approach us.]

Amelia said the reason for this.

[Obviously, I’m careful. Because the royal family sent agents underground several times.]

So, in other words, what we have to prove in the labyrinth this time is ‘disposition’, not skill.

Are we really worthy of Noark?

[The easiest way to prove us is by plunder. In this labyrinth, if you collect the loot and return, your suspicions will decrease.]

Amelia spoke of looting as the first method, and I agreed.

Oh, of course, I put one condition on it.

Let’s plunder, but target the looters, not the average explorers.

[Is that a condition?]

[okay. Now I don’t put too much value on human life, but I don’t kill anyone for my own gain.]

[…] … But how do you identify a predator?]

Amelia was flexible, saying that if there was a way, she would do it, and that I would show her later because it was difficult to say.

So time has passed now.

“Now, what are we going to do?”

We arrived on the 3rd floor, which was the target floor.

That’s because on the 4th floor, looters cannot come out, and on the 5th floor, it’s difficult for two people to work together.

The 3rd floor is perfect for looter farming.

“If you really have a way to identify predators, go ahead and do it.”

Well, it’s urgent.

Soon I asked Amelia a few things.

“Amelia, first use the stealth-type ability.”

“… … Stealth?”

“What are you pretending not to know? Isn’t that what you wrote in front of me back then? suddenly disappeared into darkness.”

“… … .”

Amelia disappeared into the darkness, as I said, without question.

After all, I don’t feel like I’m really popular at all.

When I go back later, I’ll have to pre-order the detection series numbered items as well.

“Okay then, what’s next?”

It was very awkward to hear a voice in the air, but I answered calmly without showing any expression.

“It’s nothing. Now you just have to follow me. I will find the looter.”

“I do.”

Amelia is one of the good things about being a colleague.

No matter what I do, I refrain from asking miscellaneous questions and watch.

Well, it must have been… … .

“Barbarian.”

Suddenly, Amelia asked me.

“why… … Are you taking off your gear all of a sudden?”

Ah, yes, I was curious about that, so it was hard to bear.

Well, it would be difficult to understand to ordinary people’s eyes.

Still, I was hoping that you would know.

“It’s hard to explain, so just look at it.”

After that, I put all but a few pieces of equipment into the subspace ring. And I took out the beginner set that I had been eyeing in advance and put it on.

“… … .”

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, Amelia didn’t seem to understand what I was going to do until this time.

However, as there is a saying that it is unequivocal.

Hearing it a hundred times is worse than seeing it once.

“Then it will start soon, so follow me.”

I started running blindly forward.

And I cried with all my might.

“Ki, I got lost and broke up with my co-worker! Oh, I can’t see! no one! Please help!!!”

A barbarian’s secret that evolved to protect the heart.

In my name, I am not good.

“Help me! I have a lot of money!!”

The one who comes is not good.
