Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 373

Episode 373 Treasure Hunter (1)

Three days after the community was closed.

On the 6th floor, while looking for a ship to ride on and looking for a navigator to drive the ship, good news came from Amelia.

“Suits, don’t worry about the guild side anymore.”

“Don’t you mind?”

“We found a suitable one and dealt with it.”

“… What?”

When I asked for details, it was Amelia-like work.

Have you found a guild executive who committed a crime that could end your life if caught, such as embezzlement or tax evasion?

It seems that he succeeded in destroying the guild information about ‘Lichen Suits’ by intimidating as evidence of that.

“It would have been much safer to make changes to what we wanted than discard them, but it was difficult to get there.”

“Is there any possibility that the data being discarded will be a problem?”

“Normally. Loss or damage to administrative data is more common than you think.”

Well, that’s right… … .

As she nodded her head, Amelia continued that she had not discarded all of her data and that there was still evidence that Lichen Schüitz was a Level 5 explorer.

Simply put, it means that the 5th level status is maintained.

“Isn’t there a strange face somewhere?”

“Even in a world where loss is common, I thought it would seem a bit suspicious that my data suddenly disappeared.”

“But would it still be better than leaving the old material unattended?”

Well, it sure is.

Even if it is difficult to get rid of the heart attack, at least the physical evidence can not be given to the person following me.

“Good job… No, thank you. Amelia.”

“… It is only natural for those who are good at doing what they are good at.”

“Because it’s efficient, right?”

Soon Amelia nodded and changed the subject.

“So how did your job go? Have you read all the materials you handed over?”

Ah, the list of ships.

It was a document that neatly organized the specifications and prices of ships on the market.

“If there is something you don’t like, I want you to tell me sooner, but I have to look for it again.”

“No, you don’t have to. As long as the contents of the document and the real thing were different, there was something that was just right.”

As soon as I told them which ship they had chosen, Amelia asked the reason, and I recite it with excitement.

“The price is the most expensive among the candidates, but in terms of performance and price, it is rather cheap.”

“Ugh.”

“In addition, if only special areas are avoided, it is possible to sail up to the 7th floor in the current state alone, and if you add an option later, special areas can also be sailed, so there is no need to buy a new ship.”

“Right?”

Soon Amelia responded without a soul.

If you’re going to react so bluntly, I wondered why you asked, but… … .

“Well, it must be what you mean. Because this is what you do best.”

I stuttered involuntarily at Amelia’s next words.

“uh… Is that so?”

“We’ve already been on a ship, and you’re the captain of that ship.”

Words that can only make the listener feel sullen.

But aside from that, I had this thought.

Is he doing this on purpose to raise my flag?

Well, lately, I’ve been mostly staying at home and just asking them for a favor.

Maybe it was caring—

“Then the ship has been decided, so let’s go first. If we move quickly, we can put an appointment before the exchange closes.”

I really wanted to ask if it was because of me that he said that, but I couldn’t because Amelia was wearing a coat and went out.

Well, it’s not important.

‘Anyway, then I saved a boat with this… … .’

If I had a bigger budget, I could have gotten a better boat, but it’s not really a pity.

Because the boat I picked this time was pretty good.

‘Is the problem the navigator… … .’

From time immemorial, the problem was not with things, but with people.

smart.

As I was lying on my bed and reading the books I had borrowed from the library, I heard a knock.

Um, is it already lunch time?

“Come in.”

As soon as my permission was granted, the door opened as if waiting.

Again, the visitor was Erwen.

Amelia must be in the midst of negotiating with the seller to sell the ship.

“What’s going on?”

As soon as I closed the book and asked about the business, Erwen muttered a short remark in a voice that seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

“The guests are coming.”

“Guest?”

As she tilted her head and was afraid to ask, a woman appeared to the door.

Sparkling blonde hair and blue eyes.

“It’s me.”

It was Raven.

Unlike the last time I saw him, he wasn’t wearing a mage corps uniform, he was wearing casual clothes, and his hair was loose without being tied up.

After that, the atmosphere suddenly changed drastically.

“Will you come in?”

“Ah oh… … .”

Before he could answer anything, Raven entered the room and sat down, and Erwen followed suit, picked up a chair and sat down from a distance.

“Why did you come in?”

“No?”

No, I’m not saying no… I was just asking why… … .

well done

It won’t bother you when you see them sitting like that.

“It’s been a while, Raven.”

“yes. How you doing?”

“till now. But is it okay to come here like this?”

“Don’t worry, I came here avoiding people’s eyes.”

“Oh, so you loosened your hair and dressed like that?”

“… … … So, is there any other reason?”

No, why is he answering so harshly again?

I was just asking, did anything bad happen?

‘I have to be careful when talking today.’

With that thought in mind, when I was about to ask about the business, Raven’s side opened her mouth first.

“book.”

“… … ?”

“You must have been reading a book. Did you buy it?”

“No, it seems like loans are available these days.”

“ah… If that’s the case, I’ve heard of it before. Books can only be taken out of the country by a person with a well-established identity, right?”

“Officially, but in reality, unless you are a noble or a high-ranking public official, you leave a deposit.”

“It’s okay with your uncle.”

Erwen suddenly interrupted the conversation, but Raven nodded without showing much.

“Well, if you’re Tersia-san, you can do that.”

“So, why did you come all the way here while hiding? Did something happen?”

Before the topic of conversation fell into a strange place, I hurriedly checked the agenda, and Raven also ended the introduction at this point and went to the main point.

“Mr. Yandel… No, I’m sorry. No matter how careful you are, it doesn’t stick to your mouth.”

“Okay.”

“Anyway, I’m here because I have a story to tell Suits-san.”

Yes, you didn’t just come to see me.

I thought it was because the introduction was long.

“A story? Tell me.”

It didn’t seem like a light content, so I put my voice down seriously and focused on the conversation.

“The royal family started an unofficial investigation into Mr.

“An informal investigation?”

“It’s normal when new characters appear. An official investigation without justification seems like control and oppression towards explorers.”

Well, it feels like a civilian temple?

It’s a dictatorship anyway, but I’m looking at it from a strange place.

“Anyway, so?”

“An investigation came in to me as well, and as I said, information was disclosed to some extent. I only picked out things that couldn’t be hidden, such as the abilities that Mr. Yandel showed back then.”

“Nevertheless, if it was an unofficial investigation, it would seem that he had doubts about my identity.”

“yes. If so, would you have been arrested earlier? Even if it’s informal, there are cases where things are done moderately, and vice versa.”

Rumors that the royal family is training secret special forces in the dark are not actually rumors.

The Rose Knights or something like that group is a typical example.

“So how are you? First of all, from the perspective of the upper management, you must have missed the report.”

“If that’s the case, that’s fine. At that time, the 3rd Corps commander’s position was vacant as an excuse. I also said that I had made a separate report to my direct supervisor, General Fevrosk.”

“Then, isn’t that a lie?”

“It’s not a lie. Indeed, as soon as I returned to the city, I reported to the manager. Of course, to some extent, it’s a made-up story.”

“I did… … .”

There is a sense of reassurance in a straightforward job, but at the same time, a sinful feeling also blooms.

“I’m sorry to get involved in my business, Raven.”

“… Isn’t that over? I’m just paying off the debt I owe you in the past.”

“I must also pay off this debt.”

“Yes, you must. Otherwise, there will be damage.”

It was an atmosphere that could have gotten heavy, but Raven got a little more comfortable as he joked about it.

Slowly, it’s time to move on to the next item.

“Raven, have you ever heard of the national incorporation agenda?”

“Are there any plans for national incorporation? What is it?”

“It’s not about categorizing evil spirits as enemies, it’s about embracing them. It was proposed 150 years ago, but it was rejected for various reasons.”

“Ah, I remember learning it a while ago. But why?”

“I heard that the matter was brought up at a royal meeting.”

When I explained why I brought this up, Raven looked surprised.

“This is the first time I have heard of it. Suits must have been mostly at home, but how… … . Oh, it was a full moon not long ago!”

One of Raven’s strengths is that it doesn’t need to be explained at length.

I continued speaking without affirming or denying.

“Please take a look for yourself. Who brought the topic up at the meeting, and… … .”

“And… … ?”

“Is there really no chance that the royal family will accept the proposal?”

Maybe this will be the key point.

It’s been a pretty busy day since Raven went.

Exactly, it wasn’t just me at home, but Amelia’s busy days followed.

Almost all of the property he had assigned to the ship was purchased, but he couldn’t find a navigator to drive the ship.

Very simply, the sailors’ seeds were dry.

Everyone was on a military ship heading straight to the Dark Continent, so I thought there would be plenty of items for sale on the market.

“Isn’t it a bit difficult to get it after a month? … .”

“Speak right. It must be difficult to find someone who kicks in your eyes.”

Well, it is.

To be honest, it wasn’t that there were no sailors at all.

The problem, however, is that most of them were in the dark.

Because sailing skills are more important than anything else to get to the deep sea area, the target of this expedition.

“Choose one thing, either lower your eyes or give up. A person with such skills will be quickly snatched away by other teams even if they are released on the market, and they will not come to our team that is trying to hire them on a short-term contract like a mercenary.”

“okay? Then don’t give up.”

“So easy… … ?”

“Well, what are you going to do? Now, in two days, the labyrinth will open. We’ll have to look for it next month.”

“Then, are you going to leave the underground island out of this expedition plan?”

“No, we’re just going to try it together. I don’t know if it will or not, but there’s nothing to do on the lower floor anyway, right?”

In the first place, even if I couldn’t get to the bottom of the island, it wouldn’t be a big loss because I didn’t get enough experience points even at the beginning of the 6th floor.

But, did my words make you a little annoyed?”

… I’m not saying it’s wrong, but I’m pissed off. If I had told you in advance, I wouldn’t have been so busy.”

“that… I am sorry.”

After expressing a sincere apology to Amelia, Erwen also called to her room to discuss the next expedition plan.

But it didn’t take that long.

I have a plan B in place in case we can’t find a mate.

“It’s going into a rift… … ?”

“Not for a long time, just a moment. After all, if you arrive on the 6th floor a few days late, no big deal is going to happen. It is not that we intend to join the expeditionary force this time. From what I heard, it sounds like the two of you didn’t even eat rift experience?”

“That’s because the rift isn’t a place you can enter if you want to… … .”

That’s right.

So, even when I was a half-pun of the team, and even with the team I created after that, I couldn’t easily share how to open the cracks.

‘Certainly, it’s very convenient in this part because it’s just an evil spirit.’

“Anyway, then the exploration plan should be over.”

After sharing the plans, we each had our own personal maintenance time, and two more days passed—

“You have entered the Crystal Cave on the first floor.”

It was the day to enter the labyrinth.

“Uncle, why are you laughing?”

“I’m just looking forward to it. Let’s go from the second floor.”

It must feel a bit like exploring after a long time.
