Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 351

351 The Dark Continent (2)

The blazing sun and the scorching grains of sand.

Here, the salty me of salt is carried in the cool yet damp wind.

Raimia, the island of beginnings.

However, the vast expanse of the sea was not visible along the horizon.

“You have entered the Great Ocean on the 6th floor.”

As soon as they crossed the portal, the first thing they saw were super-large sailing ships of more than a hundred ships lined up along the coastline.

The hull is so large and there are so many numbers that the wide sea feels only narrow.

“Come on, if you’ve come over, quickly fall to the side! The next ones have to come too!”

Without even looking around, he escaped from the portal under the control of the explorer with the pattern of the explorer’s guild.

His tone was so light, I asked Erwen, and he said that he was not a regular employee of the guild.

Was it the explorers who were commissioned by the guild?

I received a request for cooperation from the royal family to manage the explorers, but there was no manpower to send, so I outsourced it.

‘Well, it would be difficult for an ordinary employee to come to the 6th floor.’

Anyway, as the war had already been going on for over a year, the divided procedures flowed naturally like water.

“Come here! First of all, we will register to participate in the war, and then we will help you with the designation process!”

After waiting in a long queue on the eastern coastline, I first submitted my ID and completed registration for the war, but for reference, there was a bit of a commotion here.

Even though Erwen was famous, it was because she was too famous.

“Erwen Fornacci di Tercia… … . uh… Uh, tongue, blood spirit… … ?”

“Are there any problems?”

“Oh, no… There is not! Sorry for the fuss!”

Seeing Erwen, who came to register alone, might raise some questions, but the registrar was uncomfortable even having a conversation and completed the registration in a hurry.

“Level 5 Explorer Emily Reigns. There is a record of participating in the war before. Registered.”

After Erwen, it was Amelia’s turn, and this time registration was over in just one second.

I made a name 2 years ago and I am 22 years old.

Started with a 9th-level explorer, slowly raised the rank, paid taxes, etc. Did you finish the laundering of your identity perfectly?

As long as you don’t bump into someone who knows Amelia’s bare face like Erwen, it’s a free pass.

Unlike me, who received a slightly significant gaze.

“Leechen Schuiz, Level 5 Explorer. You don’t have a war record. Would you like to take off your helmet?”

My identity, ‘Lichen Suits’, which Amelia saved me, belongs to an explorer who was active five years ago. Of course, there were no problems with the paperwork thanks to the broker’s faithful payment of taxes… … .

“Hmm.”

It’s a strange reaction, probably because of his face that looks younger than his age of 29.

I feel like a minor who came to buy cigarettes for some reason.

Still, it passed safely thanks to the fact that he dyed his hair light brown as written on his ID. I chose the same eye color in the first place.

“Well, is there any problem?”

“No, I think it’s a comeback after a long absence, I wish you good luck.”

“Thank you.”

He pitched once, but fortunately, the registration was completed without any major problems.

As Amelia said, there are so many cases these days who retire and then return to work after the war, so there is no doubt about it.

In the beginning, there were two cases like this in the Chilgang.

“Then we can just designate a unit now.”

After registration, I moved to the next bulletin board.

The bulletin board briefly listed the ships on standby and the number of people on board, and it was also quite important in the war which ship to board.

This is because when you arrive on the 7th floor, explorers on the same ship form a unit… … .

“You don’t have to worry about what to wear. Since this is your first trip, you can’t ride anything other than third place.”

“3rd place?”

“This is a ship mainly used by explorers who have not yet established a major, or who do not have a large power like a large clan. As a result, I tend to have low combat power, so I usually play a supporting role in the rear.”

Heh heh, newbies, come up from the bottom, is this this?

After all, if you are going to a dangerous battlefield and there are newbies holding your ankles, you will only be in trouble.

“Then let’s ride over there.”

Afterwards, the three of them boarded together after selecting the least crowded boat among the third class.

It is judged that it is advantageous to choose a room with a small number of people.

“Fortunately, we were able to get a triple room.”

“Why is a triple room so hard to find?”

“It’s not that rare, but it’s the most popular.”

As to the reason, I was able to find the answer on my own without having to ask.

‘Ah, the bonding magic was updated while I was away.’

In this day and age, a team of six is common.

So, if you divide it into two groups, the three-person room is bound to be the most popular.

“Then the departure date is tomorrow, so from now on, let’s each take a break.”

“Yes, I like it! So what are we going to talk about now?”

“… … Shall we rest?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Do you want to rest?”

“… … .”

I looked at Amelia with a look of hope for help, but at some point, she had finished organizing her belongings and lay down on the bed.

Well, pretending to sleep.

“Then let’s talk about war… … ?”

“like! Do you have any questions?”

“It is said that people in the third class usually do support missions from the rear, what exactly are they?”

“uh… I’m always in front so I don’t know… … . I think I’ve heard that you’re on a mission to secure an escape route or an escort.”

I wasn’t particularly tired, so after that, I talked to Erwen and listened to various things.

and how much has passed

smart.

Suddenly a visitor came.

He was a person we all knew.

“… … I came here to say hello because we were on the same boat. Long time no see, Tersia.”

I hope we will meet again so soon.

***

“Whew… … .”

The blonde-haired woman standing in front of the closed cabin cleaned the collar of the uniform she was wearing.

Then he took a deep breath.

‘Why did this woman suddenly act like this?’

After the Blood Spirit, Erwen Fornazi di Tersia.

This was the reason Raven is standing in front of this cabin now.

That’s because for some reason, the woman who was a member of the Seven Rivers got on the third class instead of the first.

‘… … Seriously, let me do the troublesome thing from above.’

Originally, the 3rd Magical Corps to which she belonged was also scheduled to rise to third place. This is because a escort force is essential in terms of the power that is made up of wizards.

However, it was never this ship.

Somehow, I just had to be reassigned by an order from my superiors.

‘I’m not really friendly anymore. We weren’t that close before.’

The superior assigned her to this ship because she was once a member of the same clan, but she was not confident.

How did you control that crazy woman?

knowing what’s going to happen in the future.

‘Still, I did it, so I had no choice but to have a conversation and try to figure out what he was trying to do… … .’

Then she sighed and knocked on the door.

smart.

The door opened when I knocked and about 10 seconds had passed.

profit.

The rusty hinges creaked open in the sea breeze, and the closed cabin caught my eye.

According to the information, there were three people in total.

‘Legend Schuiz, Level 5 Explorer. And Emily Reigns.’

One was wearing a helmet even inside the cabin, and the other had his eyes and ears covered with black cotton that reached down to his nose.

Raven felt a greater curiosity at this.

Who the hell are these two, and why did they suddenly start moving with the same woman after Blood Spirit?

“Stop looking at you and tell me your business.”

She stopped observing the cabin and looked at Erwen at the voice that felt even aggression beyond the chill.

And he struggled to bring out his office smile.

“… … I came here to say hello because we were on the same boat. Long time no see, Tersia.”

“yes. Then, when you’re done saying goodbye, will you please leave?”

tt, when will that burjang hair be fixed?

Raven opened her mouth without showing any expression, even though she clenched her tongue inwardly.

Well, I had a lot of questions to go out like this.

for example… … .

“By the way, you said uncle, did you just?”

Why did this woman refer to that man as ‘uncle’?

Wasn’t that nickname just for that guy?

“… … .”

Unfortunately, Erwen did not respond.

I just stare at you with eyes that seem to have something to do with you.

It was just a look that seemed anxious.

Should I say it feels like I’ve seen something I didn’t want to see?

“Hmm.”

She shifted her gaze from Erwen to the man.

He was very unfamiliar, and his face was covered by a helmet, but he had a familiar atmosphere.

To be precise, I can’t say exactly what it is.

No, even if there is nothing in common.

Still, it was strangely similar to a person.

“All right, you! This man… … .”

Soon, Raven opened her mouth.

Then he stared at Erwen and the man alternately.

***

“… … .”

The longer the silence and the longer Raven’s gaze is fixed on me, the more I think.

‘what? You’re going to catch this right away?’

So what will happen next?

Can you convince me it’s not a demon?

If you don’t understand, the news will surely come to the royal family… … .

“… … .”

When I looked at Erwen by moving my eyes, he was also looking at me at the same time.

It’s like, ‘Uncle, what do I do now?’ same eyes.

It was a little odd.

No, you made a mistake, and why did you do it to me—.

“no way… … .”

At that moment, Raven’s mouth opened and the uncomfortable silence announced the end.

“It would have been so messed up.”

… huh?

What else does this mean?

Erwen and I were confused at the same time, and Raven spoke in a somewhat sad voice.

“Mr. Tercia, no, Erwen… It is not right to look for a substitute.”

“ah… … ?”

“There can be no such thing. I have no choice but to overcome it, but it will be difficult.”

“Uh… … ?”

It was then that I understood the situation.

Raven is misunderstood.

Erwen misses me, so he finds a similar man and hides his face and plays a role.

“And you.”

Raven in a small uniform fit swish and turned her head to look at me.

“I know what you are thinking.”

“… … ?”

“So, stop thinking about using Erwen. Anyway, I can’t see it like that. I’ll keep watching in the future, if I crossed the line even a little… … .”

As soon as Raven wiggled his tail, he made excuses without realizing it.

“for a moment! I don’t know what the misunderstanding is, but I intend to use it—.”

“voice… … .”

“voice?”

When I tilted my head at the words I couldn’t understand, Raven stiffened and averted my eyes.

“voice is… resembling… yes.”

It was as if he had understood why Erwen had acted like that.

“So it was… … .”

Raven, who was muttering in a bitter voice, looked at Erwen and said.

“I still can’t. This is… It’s clear that he doesn’t want it either, right?”

His sincerity was deeply buried, and his tone of voice went beyond advice and almost seemed to beg.

However, there was no way it could work for Erwen.

Because in the first place, everything he is doing is misunderstood.

“Everyone, what are you, meddling? On a subject I know nothing about!”

Soon after, Erwen also came to his senses and began to defend himself.

Oh, to put it simply, it means an attack.

“Get out now, never come back!”

Erwen, who had driven Raven out by force, closed the door with a bang.

***

Time passed quickly after Raven’s visit.

On the day of departure, not only did the warships floating on the shoreline unfold their sails at once, but the identity of the ship was also decided.

“The escort of the magic corps… … .”

As soon as the explorers on this ship reach the 7th floor, they will escort the 3rd Magical Corps and join the battle.

Oh, for reference, formation and tactics on the battlefield were conducted by gathering on the deck during the voyage and receiving training.

‘That’s why we tie up troops to each ship. I have time to educate myself on the go.’

The estimated sailing period to the 7th floor is about 15 days.

Most of my free time was my free time, except for training time, and I almost always spent it on deck.

For a simple reason.

I felt it again, but the barbarians were weak against the sea.

“Wow hey hey-!”

Even though the ship was this big, I couldn’t stay in the cabin because of motion sickness.

Well, you can just vomit anywhere here.

Anyway, after spending so much time on the deck, there were times when I ran into Raven as well.

And with a fair amount of frequency.

For some reason, always only when Erwen is away.

“… It even resembles motion sickness. Upset.”

“… … wow.”

“Why are you covering your face like that? Erwen-san ordered it?”

“Wow… … .”

“Hey, the face doesn’t look too much alike.”

“… … .”

“Why are you doing that with a normal face? Do you have no pride?”

“… … .”

“Just do one thing. Because I’m not going to leave.”

Oh, it’s going to be hard for me to die.

Why do you keep arguing, kid?
