Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 42

42 Episode Wizard and Barbarian (2)

drip-

After communication is lost.

There was silence in her laboratory for a while.

Heck, I didn’t expect it at all.

At first, I was trying to rip some money, but how did I know that suddenly I would have to pay back five million stones?

‘I mean, everyone here lacks imagination.’

In fact, it wasn’t that she didn’t have a way to win the argument.

If I had caught any of the 9th-grade explorers who earn a living for a day and asked the same question, the answer would have been something like Gam-deok-ji.

There would have been no such thing as breaking the argument.

However, it was an explorer who seemed capable at first glance.

‘If you’re a teacher, you’re talking about a master, but there’s no way a person who knows someone like that privately is an ordinary explorer.’

This served as a decisive patch.

So now it’s your turn to take the fruit—

“Chuckle! A barbarian who beats wizards with words, are you a friend more mysterious than you’ve heard?”

It was a white-haired old man with wrinkled skin who opened the door without knocking and entered.

However, it is not a characteristic feature that there is no curved place in the waist and she looks very straight for her age.

After a moment of bewilderment at the sudden intervention, I was able to infer the identity of this old man quickly.

“Oh, I didn’t introduce myself. If you’re talking about an old lady, you’re the teacher of the lady you just called.”

“Oh, I didn’t cry!”

Raven’s teacher.

In other words, the master of the Great School of Artemion, who independently uses a whopping five floors in the tower.

In a way, he is as much as the regional manager I met earlier, no, in some ways, he is a more powerful person.

“Anyway, I heard you two talking.”

“Yes? did you hear There must be some soundproofing magic at work—”

“Ah, if that’s the case, I’d have to reinforce it a bit more. It’s amazing how much there were so many empty parts in the banquet.”

If you look at the way you speak, it’s as if you’re looking at an old man in the neighborhood, but since the position is a position, I feel a bit daunted.

There are things that he did to a disciple whom he seemed to cherish just by looking at it.

“Hey, you completely smashed my magic circle. I think it must have been difficult no matter how hard I was to break it down without even noticing it… Why did you overhear me like that?”

The old man chuckled.

“The youngest disciple is the first man. It took a long time to bring a barbarian alive, so wouldn’t you be curious?”

But something was strange.

“Are you alive?”

As I muttered without realizing it, the old man laughed again ferociously.

“Shit! Most of them come dead! Or was it just the heart delivered!”

“… … ?”

“Face Piguena. A joke, a joke!”

Oh, I see.

Is this really a magician joke?

I’m also a barbarian who can read the atmosphere quite a bit, so instead of showing off my face, I responded with a big smile.

“ha ha ha! I want to smash your head!”

AKA Bavarian Joke.

“… What, what?”

But why aren’t you laughing?

Oh, I didn’t do that.

“ha ha ha! It was a joke!”

Whatever bullshit you say, all you have to do is later say it’s a joke, right?

“So, turn your face and smile. gaffer!”

“Hey, old man… … ?”

“Ah, that was a joke! ha ha ha!”

“… … .”

At my joke, the Master of the Artemis, for short, an old man frowned as if it was uncomfortable to plant.

When I checked the side, Raven opened her mouth as if she couldn’t believe this situation.

“… Yandel, are you crazy?”

Is this a polite expression, or is it just double lust?

I’m confused because I used a mixture of respectful words… … .

‘I just made a mistake.’

Obviously, seeing him do this, I think I just exaggerated a bit.

Is it normal?

You’ve been messing around with such a crazy joke in front of a school leader in the Matop on the subject of a fucking barbarian.

“ha… I should’ve known that the guild was doing that… … .”

still a little sad

It sounds like an excuse, but you’re joking about dead barbarians and stuff in front of a barbarian who came to life this morning?

“Because I was sensitive, I think I took a defensive attitude without realizing it. Apologize if you feel bad.”

It was really a succinct explanation, but Raven shouted as if he was not praying.

“What a defensive attitude that is!”

“The best defense is offense.”

This is my theory from a very young age.

‘So what should I do with the rearrangement?’

At a glance, the old man was still standing still with blank eyes.

As the silence continued, it was a time when I began to be genuinely worried about my well-being.

“Heh heh heh! This is a friend who is a very good thing!”

The old man suddenly started talking.

I don’t know why, but I laughed along with the atmosphere.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

“Heh heh heh! Very funny friend!”

Just by looking at cancer, I can feel the old man pretending to be bold and smiling, but… … .

If you do it right, you might be able to move on like this.

“Never mind! The old man is different from other jjomsaengs who are sensitive to every word he says.”

To say that, there is still resentment left, and my lips are trembling… … .

There’s no need to talk about this.

‘I can roughly guess what kind of character it is.’

I get a sense of how to deal with it.

“haha! What kind of barbarian blood are you? The word “old” is a no-brainer! How do you take our jokes so coolly? This is the first time I have ever seen such a prodigal wizard!”

There weren’t many people who had ever seen a wizard in the first place.

I know something.

“Chuckle, there is no such thing as an old man. Somehow, it seems like I can relate to you a bit!”

“I agree!”

For a moment, there is a bitter air.

Hahahoho Seeing us starting to laugh, Raven makes an absurd expression.

“ha… What kind of situation is this?”

Well, I don’t know either.

And I’m pretty sure that old man doesn’t even know what he’s doing now.

“I am Bjorn, son of Yandel! great wizard! I want to know your name!”

“It’s Bjorn Yandel! Meeting you after only wallowing around with sorceress like Jjomsaeng makes me feel so relieved! nice to meet you The old man is Deian Tveherion!”

For some reason, the old man introduced himself in a loud voice.

However, the stiff veins on the neck made the viewer worry about their health… … .

Let’s pretend we didn’t see

“Awesome! It is the voice of a man’s majesty!”

I, Jandel Bjorn.

A barbarian who knows how to live a social life like that.

***

“So what I said to those little boys back then—”

“Awesome!”

“yes? No words yet—”

“Wonderful!”

After a few minutes of similar entertaining conversations.

Perhaps he had regained his sanity after bragging about himself, and the old man came back to the main point, like a serpent.

“So, dear, what do you think Aru will do?”

“Aru?”

“Oh, it must be like the nickname of our youngest disciple.”

Did you pick up Aruman from Arua Raven?

This kind of culture seems to be everywhere.

“Anyway, those five million stones, if the old lady—”

“You can’t do something that hasn’t been done.”

Social life mode for a while.

When I stopped talking, the old man clicked his tongue.

“Aww, who wouldn’t give it to me? If it’s okay with you, I’d like to replace the old lady with something else… … .”

Then things will be different again.

“Something?”

“This is it.”

He put his hand inside the robe the old man was wearing and pulled out a box the size of the palm of his hand.

However, I was more interested in the robe he was wearing than the box.

‘Is there a subspace on the robe itself?’

Um, won’t you give it to me if I ask for it?

“What are you doing? Come on open it.”

Glancing inside, he opened the box and saw a ring inside.

“An object named Garakji of the Frost Spirit.”

“Is it the ring of the Frost Spirit?”

The old man continued to explain the ring to myself, but I didn’t have to listen.

Because it was something I was familiar with.

“Even though it’s the 9000s, if you’re an explorer, you’ll know it. How precious a number item is.”

numbered item.

It can only be obtained from the Guardian of the Rift, and each of them has its own special ability.

In fact, except for ‘production’ and ‘discovery’, the only method of equipment supply in [Dungeon & Stone] is numbered items.

Of course, most of them are expensive regardless of the number.

However… … .

“You are very lucky, too. I’ll probably never give you this thing if you don’t like it—”

“Yeah, it’s something no one uses.”

No.9425 Frost Spirit Ring.

Frost Spirit Ring, which can only be dropped from rifts below the 3rd floor, has only one unique ability.

By the way, it is not an ability that helps in battle, it seals one of the essences absorbed by the wearer.

Of course, the stats are applied as is, and only skills are sealed… … .

‘In that case, it’s cheaper to remove the essence from the temple.’

Think about it.

Increasing the level becomes astronomically difficult.

However, if you wear this ring, all of the Essence skills you have acquired will be completely lost.

One skill slot disappears altogether.

Future-minded explorers would choose to erase the essence from the temple and take a new one, rather than wear this ring.

“But it must be something very useful to you, isn’t it?”

Well, it certainly isn’t.

In the beginning, stats are more important than skill combinations. In addition, even though the corpse golem has poor skills, the stats themselves are quite high.

‘If you take the ring off at any time, you can use the skill again, so it’s not a bad item. By itself.’

I finished the calculation inside.

In fact, I didn’t even think about rejecting it in the first place.

After all, the abilities I just listed were only a fraction of the true value of this ring.

‘If you see that no matter how many times you think about it, you don’t mention it at all… You really don’t know about that event, do you?’

Wizards are the best intellectuals in this worldview.

However, in ‘Blood Citadel’, Raven was convinced by not knowing how to obtain ‘Tears of the Goddess’ hidden under the statue.

Yes, in my eyes, they are all newbies.

No other game is as easy as a newbie.

“What are you so worried about? To be honest, this ring isn’t worth five million stones. But it’s not something you can get what you want to get.”

“Right.”

I nodded as if in agreement.

Even in the game, the auction house price was only about 1.5 million stones, but there were no items for sale, so I got this ring less than once in ten.

‘But how do you get this precious thing like this?’

In the first place, he did not expect to be able to receive all five million stones.

Actually, that old man also took this out with the intention of giving him some useless stuff.

You’re probably looking at me and laughing at me, saying I’m a stupid barbarian.

“Thanks, I got something good. write well.”

Um, is that the same for me, sir?

“Chuckle, think of it as a gift from an old man.”

I thought as I looked at the old man who smiled kindly.

If I do well, I think there will be a lot of things to eat on my back in the future.

You should be friendly as much as possible.

***

“Mr. Yandel, it’s a bit like today, isn’t it? You must be tired because you have gone through so much, shall we meet again in two days for the rest of the discussion?”

“The sea I was hoping for.”

After an abbreviated arrangement of the detailed time and place, Bjorn left the laboratory.

After that, Raven looked into the master’s eyes.

“I’m sorry, Master, because of me… … .”

“Okay, it was something that wasn’t even sold anyway. That barbarian, it’s going to be quite heartbreaking to find out later how much that ring costs.”

“… is that so?”

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be particularly angry with the Bjorn he had brought.

Soon, Raven was more comfortable and confirmed what she had been curious about.

“But why did you do that before?”

The teacher’s attitude today was very heterogeneous.

He hates rude people.

There was never a single case of demeaning fellow wizards as they were short-tempered.

“Oh, if that’s the case, there’s one thing to check.”

“Are you sure?”

“That you don’t need to know.”

She shut her mouth with a blunt expression.

This made it clear that there was some kind of intention in matching Bjorn’s tension, but… … .

Since the Master came out like this, there was no way to know his intentions.

“Anyway, he was a strange one. It’s so unique that I can’t even look forward to it. I hope my thoughts are right… … .”

“Are you going to keep doing that? If you were going to tell me, would you just let me know!”

“I will tell you later when the time is right. Ah, when the time comes, write down what happened with that barbarian and post it to me.”

“Aren’t you going to tell me why?”

“I’ll tell you when I’m sure.”

Soon, her teacher left the laboratory with a gentle smile as usual.

Looking at the empty space, I felt a bit uncomfortable.

‘What the hell is Master thinking?’

I wondered if I had brought Bjorn here for nothing.

It was because he remembered that the words of those whom the Master had such an interest in were not good at all.

‘Oh, but is that the same for Mr. Yandel?’

As a 9th-grade explorer, thinking of the man who ruined the guild, she became somewhat anxious.

‘Ah, maybe it is? It’s not even a hole-in-the-wall shop.’

A guild and a horse tower are completely different.

It’s not a group that can be swayed by a single barbarian.

obviously, undoubtedly.
