Episode 20 Lapdonia (4)
“Good job. Let’s go then.”
“good bye!”
Erwen quickly prepared to leave without even saying a word.
Apparently, the half-day study of supernatural powers felt quite difficult…
“Then I’ll come again!”
Are you coming again?
oh i didn’t say that
“Now you don’t have to take the time to come here.”
“Yes?”
what are you surprised
This is normal.
you are not my colleague
“I think you will need some time to get used to the new ability. It would be better to spend your time more profitably until the labyrinth opens.”
Strictly speaking, this applies to me as well.
Yesterday I set a new goal.
The goal is to become a mid-level explorer and enter the 6th floor.
So, there is a lot of work to be done in the future.
First of all, I have to grow myself using 1.4 million stones.
If possible, I also want to receive professional fighting training. I still haven’t been able to fully utilize the power of this monstrous body.
In addition, you should build up common sense and knowledge by reading books, and take time to adapt to the water and culture by walking around the city as much as possible.
In short, there was no reason to flirt with Erwen unless there was a business.
“Certainly! Is that so?”
“I think you said you have a younger brother, but you can meet and spend time together. You, too, will have to go back into the labyrinth in three weeks.”
“Yes……”
Erwen nodded with a sullen face.
Is it because I was his first mate?
He seems to have some strange fantasies about me. To be honest, I can roughly predict what kind of fantasy it will be.
However, the original business relationship is long-lasting.
“I intend to stay here forever, so if you have any problems, then you can come without any burden. I will help as much as I can.”
“Oh really?”
“Aren’t we comrades-in-arms?”
“Hee hee! I see!”
As soon as I threw a carrot, Erwen also left with a satisfied face.
It’s still easy to handle.
Now that this has happened, I decided to continue my friendship with Erwen.
Because this would be a kind of relationship.
No matter how bad blood ties are, delay can be acquired.
maybe someday it will help
“…Is it too snobbish?”
what then what
It’s not the time to cover up.
After that, I simply washed up and came out and went straight to the library again. And I read books for about five or six hours after being enchanted by the ignorant librarian I had seen the day before.
‘I’m sure there aren’t any restaurants that sell soup or something like that, right?’
It was a little late, but I went to a cheap-looking restaurant for lunch and had a few slices of bread with some stew.
The price is 450 stones.
I think it would be more cost-effective to have meals at the inn.
“I am Bjorn, the son of the greatest warrior, Yandel!”
After the meal, I visited the Angry Horned Cow Inn through Susomun where Ainar was staying.
Surprisingly, the place was full of barbarians.
“Are you sure you want to stay here too? Well thought out! This place only costs 300 stones a day!”
what 300 stones?
Surprised by the unbelievable price, I did a little research and found out why.
As soon as you enter the room with five narrow beds, the thick smell of sweat that has been aged for several days stings your nose.
“Are the five of us sharing a room?”
“No! Ten warriors together!”
“… but there are only five beds?”
“All you have to do is set a time and take turns sleeping!”
It’s not particularly cheap, it’s just that a lot of people paid for it and it was cheap.
Well, since these guys have earned at most 340,000 stones, there must have been no choice.
“But what are you doing here?”
“We are looking for Einar, the third daughter of Pnellin.”
“Fnellin’s second daughter, Einar, went out in the morning!”
She was also the second daughter.
Don’t change it in the end.
Anyway, after waiting for about an hour, Einar, who had been out, returned.
“Bjorn, son of Yandel? Did something happen?”
Because each other is a barbarian, he said it directly.
“I want to fight you.”
“Are you talking about sparring?”
“Yes.”
Currently I need training.
In the Labyrinth, I have achieved more than any other barbarian, but I will not be able to compete with them with pure combat skills.
“It’s a little strange.”
Einar tilted his head.
I don’t think it’s because it’s a difficult request…
“If it’s like that, why don’t we just go out into the empty lot without having to ask?”
opening?
Soon Einar led me out through the back door of the inn.
A dozen or so barbarians had already gathered there, swinging their fists and rolling on the floor, sweating.
Well, maybe even blood.
“Hahahaha! The fist was quite heavy just now!”
“So are you!”
For some reason, it has been noisy outside since a while ago.
These guys are just normal.
The fairies giggled and talked about how the spirit’s voice sounded.
Einar asked while smiling bitterly at the barbarians who were fighting tenaciously as if they had met enemies.
“Is there any reason why the other person is only me?”
Not really.
I just thought Einar would agree to my request. But if I said no now, it would look strange.
“Because I’m the only one who uses a sword.”
“Do you want to learn how to fight against a swordsman?”
“Yes.”
“I understand if that’s the reason. I have to go to study in the morning, so if you come at this time, I’ll treat you as much as you want.”
In other words, does the schedule become empty from 5:00 PM?
I will have to come here every day from now on.
“Are you going to start today?”
“Of course.”
After waiting for a while, Einar went back to his room and returned with his sword.
“Einar and Bjorn face off!”
As a result, other barbarians stopped fighting and began to watch.
I came to learn, but I had no intention of losing in vain, so I tightened my grip on the shield and raised my tension.
However, the result is…….
“Then I will go!”
has been developed
Did it take 3 minutes to lose the shield after getting hit by a fucking blow?
He fights really well.
Still, it was a good time in many ways.
“Yandel’s son, Bjorn, was not the greatest warrior of all time!!”
“Now Einar is the greatest warrior of all time!!”
“Waaaaaaa!!”
Except for these pups.
***
How many more times did he hit him?
Suddenly, the sky became dark.
“Are you going to do more? I want to rest soon.”
“No. Today’s sparring will end here.”
The time the other barbarians left the vacant lot long ago.
I made a decision after much thought.
“Einar.”
“What’s going on?”
Soon after, Einar, who was stretching and heading toward the building, stopped.
“Are you planning to enter the labyrinth alone next time?”
“That’s how it should be. Because we don’t have enough money to build a team. But this time, if possible, I’m thinking of trying the second floor.”
Once again, I feel how hardcore the barbarian lives.
compass and torch.
With these two things, you can advance to the second floor. However, earning money to buy consumables on the first entry and then heading straight to the next floor with that money…
“It must be difficult alone, right?”
“Isn’t there a choice?”
There is no choice…….
Maybe this is why the lower floors were full of humans.
The different races, whose taxes were several times higher, could not even pay the tax for the first year if they were active on the 12th floor.
Just looking at the motivated barbarians, it’s clear.
Didn’t the person who earned the most earn only over 40,000 stone?
“If you’re lucky, you might be able to make a team with other people from the first floor.”
“Right.”
“So what are you talking about?”
As soon as the talk shows signs of getting too long, Ainar immediately asks the main point.
Like a barbarian, I spoke directly.
“Won’t you become a colleague with Einar?”
“colleague?”
“I will bear the cost of building the team.”
I felt it while doing sparring a few times today.
Einar is strong.
Listening to what people say around them, it seems that they are at the top level among the fellow barbarians.
Above all, I am smart.
“Thank you for the offer, but why?”
After all, you need a colleague.
It’s hard to find a friend every night, and having a partner actually increases profits.
However, Ainar not only has high fighting power, but also has the advantage of not having to worry about betrayal due to the nature of their race.
Instead, the classes overlap, but…
Now that Erwen has left, Ainar is the best option for me to choose.
Of course, no words were necessary.
“I just wanted to.”
“Right.”
Einar nodded and immediately made a decision.
“Good. Entering the labyrinth with you, a clever warrior, is what all warriors wish for.”
It’s a much more positive response than I thought.
Can I be a little more greedy with this?
“There are only conditions.”
“Something?”
“The ratio is I’ll have 8.”
“……?”
Einar frowns at my abuse of power.
Could it be that planting has become uncomfortable?
I opened my mouth again and continued to elaborate.
“I’ll pay for the cost of building the team. And I promise you. At least the percentage will make you a lot more money than if you went into the labyrinth alone. Besides, I’ll pay for all the other consumables—” “Stop explaining any more
. Not required.”
“……?”
“Even if I try to say something difficult, such as the ratio of 8, they won’t understand anyway. So take care of it. I trust you.”
“…Right.”
I had no choice but to admit that I looked down on the barbarian race too much.
“I will take care of you. Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”
Soon after, Einar came and hit me hard on the back.
It was too heavy to consider it a favor, but…
Well, it’s better to get used to it quickly.
“I’ll ask you well.”
I got a trusty barbarian colleague.
***
Next morning.
I visited the Holy Land with Einar.
The Holy Land is a kind of shared foster facility.
Barbarians who left for the city send their children here when they have children. Because they have to be warriors until they die, they don’t have the energy to raise children.
And the barbarians who left for the city as adults repeat this process again.
That’s not something to worry about right now. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
As soon as we arrive, the tribal chief greets us.
Fucking like this, I didn’t want to come for a while…
“It’s rare for a warrior who left to come. Did you come to learn
how to read like Einar, the second daughter of Fnellin?” Kongdak calmed his heart and shook his head
.
….”
The tribal chief looks at me with curious eyes.
Don’t be nervous. Didn’t Einar
learn the barbarian’s way of speaking and the titles he calls you in advance? Just
make sure you don’t make a mistake.
“Tell me what it is.”
Breathing “I want to get a spirit imprint.”
Each
race has its own characteristics.
For example, fairies deal with spirits and dwarves deal with artifacts.
Barbarians have ‘spirit imprints’.
It’s a growth method that can’t be used in the early stages because the game requires a lot of money, but luckily,
I ‘ve got
a lot of money over 1 million stones .
It’s still damn scary…
“I want to get the ‘Undead Imprint’ to be exact.”
This
is the most correct way to spend money.
