Episode 96 Barbarian Trophy (3)
“Haha! You’re hot like a barbarian!”
The baron laughed out loud at my decision.
It was a laugh that I could spit out because I didn’t know anything about barbarians. Barbarians are not fearless beings at all.
As Einar said the other day.
[We were born as warriors. If you can’t fight, you die.]
They just move forward with fear.
because that’s what you have to do
My choice this time was the same.
As long as it’s been calm, maybe this time something big might happen?
‘I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous…’
But what do you mean?
If you choose avoidance because you are afraid of the future that has not yet been confirmed, the end is only destruction.
So, how will you enter the labyrinth and make a rational decision with that mental head?
In the first place, I wouldn’t have been alive.
“I came to tell the count. He was very happy?”
As I sat still and organized my thoughts, the baron returned shortly after.
It seems that I was quite satisfied with my choice.
“Ah, but is that necklace really that important?”
A question that seemed to convince me that winning prizes had a big influence on my decision.
I also didn’t deny it.
“Isn’t it expensive to sell number items?”
“Hmm… if you’re like that, then that’s it.”
Judging by the expression on his face, he assumed that there must be another reason for me, but the baron did not inquire deeply.
I just asked
“How strong are you anyway?”
“……?”
“Looking at your aspirations, don’t you think you’re really thinking about winning? Are you that confident?”
I chuckled.
The question of how strong you are.
There are too many monsters in the world to answer that question confidently.
But…
“Actually, I don’t even want to win. But if you lose too easily, I’ll lose my face—”
In front of that, the ‘knight apprentice’.
In other words, if you add the premise of being at the level of a 3rd floor explorer, the story will change.
“Oh, don’t worry about that.”
I cut off the baron and answered.
I wasn’t worried about this part from the beginning.
“Ten seconds is enough.”
“Is that enough?
Looking at the baron tilting his head, I asserted,
“Anyone can break their heads before then.”
This was sincerity without exaggeration or exaggeration. But
did that sincerity spread to the outside world?
Hee-ik!”
The butler,
who suddenly
met his eyes, sparked
a
match .
Are you a knight?’
The fear of knights lies in their aura.
Ignoring defense by 90%, ignoring exorcism by 90%.
A combination of morale from the aura that allows them to cut virtually anything and systematically developed swordsmanship in practice.
This alone is truly monstrous…
Raise the level with the ‘elixir’ and eat up to the high-grade essence with enormous financial power
?
A world where different races are rampant and magic exists.
A knight is a spear and shield that protects vested interests.
Considering that the maximum level that can be raised with an elixir is 5, a decent knight can slice through several top explorers by himself
. There is a knight that specializes in.
But…
‘If it’s an apprentice, it’s at most level 3 or lower.
This is also assuming the maximum value.
Few nobles would invest this much in a guy who can’t even use an Aura yet.
‘Actually, tournaments aren’t a problem, but…’
Then comes the next thing.
The Count’s excessive interest, too. .If
some savage suddenly wins the championship, there is a good chance that the vested interests will look at me with a disapproving look.
However, once I have made a decision, regret will be a luxury.
‘Let’s focus only on this for now.’ It was the time when I was quietly spending time in the corner with
the Baron ‘s consideration
, saying that I would
worry about the future after winning the championship.
Even if it was a passing relationship, there was no way I could forget it because it was the face I saw today.
“
Ten seconds is enough? Did he forget his subject because he was immersed in clowning like a stupid barbarian?”
First of all, this
guy. When he was playing with nobles at an outdoor banquet hall, he was
ridiculed by being called a small clown. As I watched, as if touching a baton, the guy next to me continued,
“You, barbarian, will have to earnestly ask your ancestors not to meet me. I’ll cut your throat at once. Of course, it won’t take even 10 seconds.”
I don’t know his name because he didn’t reveal
his name. He’s the one who showed off that he was an idiot, such as farting
and saying that the pride of a warrior is an old word. …..
“If I meet you—”
Just as the baton was about to be passed to the next runner, he quickly got up and cut off his words. I
caution against making as few as possible, but…….
At this point, I had no choice but to ask honestly.
“Do you guys have any serious problems with your brains?”
Still, he said it in a twisted way.
“Are you idiots?” If you ask like this, wouldn’t it be possible to establish the crime of contempt of nobility?
“What what?”
You do what even a tribal three-year-old warrior wouldn’t do!”
“…You dare insult us for being a coward—”
“What else! Without the baron by his side, did he suddenly have courage that he didn’t have before? What a great honor!”
“That’s…!”
Something he didn’t even look at when the baron was by his side.
When I pointed out that point, the three knights jumped like a goldfish. That’s why I didn’t think they had a speech impediment. They seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
were just embarrassed. They
didn’t know that I would expose their obnoxiousness with such a loud voice.
“That’s why I asked! I heard that a knight is a proud being! However, taking advantage of the situation of ‘number superiority’ to do such a childish thing to ‘the same participant’? There must be something wrong with your head!”
A cry that accurately embodied the guys’ actions.
“Stop it! Can’t you shut that muzzle!”
The three knights’ expressions became urgent.
It was
only natural to do so. If things went on like this, he would be the one who was told by a barbarian that he had a problem with his head. “… Let
‘s
see!”
The three idols left in anger.
Maybe it’s because they’re locals, so it’s a bonus that they left a cheesy line that went beyond cliché.
I also responded back because I was proud of my heart.
“Anyway, don’t worry too much . ! If I meet you later, I will surely get rid of the problems in your heads!”
Did my heart really reach you?
I couldn’t tell just by looking at their backs as they quickly moved away.
*** It’s just a brief
happening anyway .
The climax,
that is, the moment when the tournament prepared by the Count was held
. Aren’t you really looking forward to it?”
“Hmm, I don’t know. So, aren’t you an explorer? I heard that you’ve gained fame recently, but your career is less than a year old?”
The venue is on the lawn in an outdoor banquet hall.
The surroundings are already packed with people, and some nobles have even spread their chairs on the terrace on the second floor of the mansion to take a good look.
Ready As I was sitting still in the barracks, the baron started talking to me as if he were a coach.
“Aren’t you nervous?”
“No.
” I’m this excited.”
I don’t know the adulation that came before it, but the excitement that came after it was true.
Judging from the promise of a bonus you didn’t even ask for.
“If you win, I’ll give you another million stones. So do your best. Because my face depends on you.”
“I’ll try!”
Is it because I suddenly received financial treatment?
Suddenly, my motivation springs up
. !”
After a while, the first confrontation took place.
The two knights who went on stage and recited the oath of a duel swung their swords and drew cheers from the crowd
.
Sneaking out of the barracks and watching the duel gave me a strange feeling.
Is it like watching the Colosseum in Rome?
In fact, there is not much difference.
Although there is a rule to pay attention not to kill the opponent as much as possible…
In other words … Doesn’t that mean there’s no problem
even if you kill him?
Despite the fact that it was the first match, the two knights were continuing a bloody duel in the overheated heat.
As intense as it was, the moment when the winner and the loser were divided was dramatic
.
The direction of the match was decided when the hand holding the sword was completely cut off.
Of course, the injured knight’s arm was quickly attached by the priest, but the blood stains scattered like a fountain remained as clear as the decorations on the stage.
But…
”
Wow
Ah
Ah
!!
_ “I don’t know about that.
I know that it is my turn right after this.
“Lord Sylvania of the Baron of Hessen and… Bjorn Yandel of the Baroness of Martoain, please stand!” I walked through the crowd and
took the stage as the member of society instructed. . Just at the same time, a knight was climbing from the other side.
It was very polite.
I didn’t know the name, so I couldn’t figure it out just by the bracket.
“Huhu, is that a surprised face?”
I shook my head slightly as if to admit it.
From the first match, one of the three knights took the opponent?
Isn’t it amazing
‘That’s also the most hateful guy.’
Unbeknownst to me, the corners of my mouth curled.
Because I stopped touching the baton at the end, I couldn’t hear his determination……
How could I forget him?
[I heard that it got that name because it was small in the first place?]
He was the one who spread such nonsensical rumors.
It’s a little bit for me to say this, but
I dare to say it on a human subject.
***
Before the duel begins.
He recites an oath of a duel.
A conventional oath to take the honor of a knight seriously and not to resort to dishonest or dishonest moves.
It was my turn next.
“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”
A savage cry just like the word, omitting phrases and rhetoric.
The heat of the crowd rose even more.
“Waaaaaaa!!”
Even in the middle of this, I’m getting more attention, so I’m going to have a good time.
“It’s vulgar and vulgar.”
So, did you think a barbarian would be noble?
Soon, under the moderator’s guidance, they got closer and faced each other’s weapons.
He held out a huge double-bladed battle axe, not the mace I had left behind at the baron’s mansion.
‘…I’m not used to using blades.’
It’s a pity, but the writing method won’t be much different.
Just wield it normally.
Perhaps the results will be similar.
The only difference is whether it was cut or completely blown out.
“Ha!”
At the same time as the duel started, the threadbare swiftly kicked the ground and charged at me.
It looks like he wants to pay back the 10-second promise I said…
‘It’s amazing.’
I stepped back and took a posture of observation.
This was the first time I had encountered a knight’s swordsmanship, so I was not only
curious…
Even though he was labeled an apprentice, he was still a knight and his sword was quite sharp.
“die!”
It’s not some kind of martial arts herbivore.
A sword attack that fires with a three-pronged illusion.
For a moment, I wondered which one was real, but that time was only for a moment.
If you don’t know which one is real,
why don’t you cut it all off?
‘I’ve become a barbarian too.’
Raise the blade of the ax to the side and swing it as wide as possible.
That was enough.
Cacan!
The sword’s trajectory was distorted by the strong force, and the string thread began to lose its balance.
However, the guy did not let go of his sword despite the shock.
Even though he must have been embarrassed, he twisted his body and swung his sword at my neck like a link.
‘Certainly not someone to look at lightly.’
A sword attack that draws a gentle curve from the bottom like a tornado.
It’s personality. Anyway, I acknowledged my opponent.
Is it truly a swordsmanship that has been passed down through generations?
‘Weapon technology is several numbers higher than mine.’
If the conditions were the same, I would definitely not be able to beat this guy.
But it wasn’t something to be taken seriously.
“Behel—laaaaaaaa!!!”
Because this guy and I are not on the same terms.
「The character used [Wild Eruption].」
「The character’s threat level temporarily increases by 3 times, and the body level increases in proportion to the level.」 There is
still a lot left before 10 seconds pass.
