Episode 127 Karlstein (1)
Mischa Karlstein.
A 5-year-old explorer who is from a pure-blood family, but has lived without being treated as a child because he failed to contract with the soul tree.
‘This boy’s father wants to see me…’
There are some predictable parts.
It was because through Misha, I fully understood how the enemy Myo were going.
“But why are you silent? What time can I go?”
“Uh… W I don’t think it’s going to be tomorrow either. I need to prepare my heart too……. I have to tell my father in advance.”
“What? What the hell are you talking about? It must have been you who asked me to go with you tomorrow?”
When I asked again as if it was ridiculous, Misha averted her gaze and wiggled her hands.
“That’s… Actually, I didn’t know if it would be so easy…” ”
So you said let’s go tomorrow?”
“Yeah, you said that’s how you negotiate?”
“…….”
I may have said that, but Misha’s plan was plausible in its own way.
If you say you don’t have time, did you pretend to postpone the appointment and naturally postpone it to the next time?
“Ugh, when he begged me to go out and play, he said he was busy all the time, so what kind of whim is he doing this time?”
“Isn’t your father calling you? Of course you should go and meet him.”
“Huh? Is that so?”
Misha averted her gaze at the vaguely circumlocuted words.
“You, too… You said all those embarrassing things?”
When did you say that beastmen and barbarians were the same?

“If you have an appointment, go ahead and let me know again. I’m going to sleep more. Oh, and don’t come tomorrow. I have to go out early.”
“What? You sleep all day and then sleep again?”
“If you keep doing that, I won’t go—”
“No! I won’t bother you, so get some rest!!”
After Misha opened the door and left, I continued my sleep that had been interrupted for a while.
and the next morning.
‘I think I’m going to live a bit now.’
It was only after sleeping for a whopping 36 hours that I finally felt a bit refreshed.
In the future, you should refrain from writing your life.
Anyway, after briefly washing my body, I headed to the Holy Land, and the elder greeted me.
“It’s been a while. Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”
Where the hell is the chieftain going?
I was curious about it, so I quietly asked, and a slightly unexpected answer came back.
“If you’re the chieftain, you went to the city for a while. He’ll probably be back tomorrow.”
“It’s strange that the chieftain is out.”
“It’s not common. By the way, if there’s business on the other side, why don’t you meet young warriors while waiting? If it’s you, it’ll be a good stimulus for them too.”
The elder’s promising offer was rejected with kind words.
It doesn’t feel bad because it seems like I’ve been recognized as one of the barbarians’ outputs, but today’s business is on the other side.
“Then would you like me to call the shaman?”
After waiting for a while, the sorcerer’s apprentice came and guided me to the tent.
A bald-headed shaman with fine wrinkles was blowing smoke from a large smoking pipe in his mouth.
“Kikikick warrior, you’re here again. You’re really good at it.”
For some reason, I have a high-pitched voice today.
Somewhere, the pronunciation is a little slurred, it seems to be looking at some kind of drug addict.
“Can I get the spirit imprint today?”
“If you have enough money, kick it.”
No, that’s not it, I was asking if you could do it while drunk.
I was worried inside, but I just opened my wallet.
Jiggle and jiggle.
‘With this, I’m broke again.’
The amount to receive the 5th level engraving is 8 million stones. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
After paying this, only about 700,000 stones remain in hand. Well, there are still 2 million stones left in the shared account with Misha, but…
that’s a fund that can’t be used for personal use.
“One warrior is not enough.”
“…I was thinking of putting it in now.”
Soon, the calculation ended with one more magic stone worth 500,000 stones.
I thought it might work this time.
‘I can stop worrying about making mistakes along the way.’
I laid down on the bed, concentrating on the positive parts as much as possible.
And…
“Keuhuhuhuhh…”
“Kikik warrior! Scream louder!”
“Well ah ah ah!”
Before long, a constant pain overtook me.

「Immortal Imprint Level 5 has been activated. Energy increases significantly.」
「Physical level increases by +30.』
「Spirit level increases by +30.」
***
Energy is an important stat in [Dungeon and Stone].
It doesn’t have much effect on combat power, but when stamina runs out, it becomes incapacitated.
Even when raiding for several hours, the ‘energy regeneration auxiliary scroll’ was a consumable item that was considered essential.
However…
‘I didn’t expect it to be a useful stat in real life.’
The other day, I felt the limit of fatigue in the Witch’s Forest. Also, just yesterday, his mental strength was exhausted and he fell into a state of recoil.
That’s why it feels more distinct.
change of body and mind.
“Kikki, you look quite fine today.”
Originally, it should have been a return yard by now, but today, the accumulated fatigue in the mind and body is much less.
I’ll have to check the details later, but wouldn’t it be okay to stay up two nights with this effect?
Of course, if you ask if this is worth 8 million stones, it’s definitely not.
‘…… After all, engraving is not efficient compared to the amount of money.’
I don’t know if it’s the mid-to-late half, where ability is more valuable than money.
In the early and mid-early period, it is more efficient to buy equipment or buy purified water with money and eat it……. The
way to shorten the growth time is to grow even a little faster, collect money, and raise an imprint.
So, I originally planned to only take the first level of engraving and not touch it for a while.
Because I didn’t know how to eat [Giant] so early.
‘Hoo, but I went all-in on the engraving, and now I really only have one step left.’
For a while, the collapse of the property was reduced.
A feeling of pride blooms again.
The moment you take the 6th step, you will get back several times the compensation for all the expenses you have invested so far.
“Warrior, what are you idly doing? You’re tired, so get out of here.”
After being lost in thought for a while, I heard the shaman’s order to celebrate and left the tent.
The day was getting dark.
Like last time, I wondered if Einar was waiting for me, so I walked while checking the bush
…
Einar was not seen until they reached the city after passing through the dark forest road.
Well, since the training is nearing its end, he must be busy.
‘Come to think of it, there’s only one month left.’
Today, passing by a deserted street, I smiled.
that it’s time
So fast, yet so slow.
It seems like yesterday when I was stepping on traps and screaming because I didn’t have leather boots.

Three days later, Misha and I got on a large wagon heading to District 13.
That’s because the beast tribe’s holy ground didn’t touch District 7, where we live.
“Ho, maybe you’re not thirsty? Would you like some water?”
“Okay.”
“Are you hungry? Not hungry? Just in case you didn’t know, I brought a lot of things, so you want to eat it?”
Seeing Misha’s extreme attitude, I laughed as if it was absurd.
“Stop it. I won’t go back in the middle.”
“No, it’s because I’m more worried than that. It’s not like it’s going to be an uncomfortable seat for you. You’re going because of me, so you have to attend this much—” “It’s okay, I’ll sleep, so wake me up when I arrive.
”
“That’s right… it’ll take about three hours, so get a good night’s sleep.”
Before it bothers me more, I said sleep and closed my eyes.
And how long has it been?
As Misha had said, it wasn’t until noon that the carriage reached its destination.
‘It’s six hours round trip… He doesn’t just go to bed once.’
It’s not that far in terms of straight-line distance, but it took longer than expected because we had to go around District 14, a curfew zone.
‘Well, that’s probably why he settled here. I would have wanted to get as far away from home as possible.’
“Why is Bjorn still? Tired? Shall I carry him?”
“It’s okay, take the lead.”
“Okay!”
Afterwards, I followed Misha, who could be said to be a native of this place, and looked around the streets.
It wasn’t much different from District 7, where I currently live.
It’s just that the road is a bit more complicated and there are a lot of beastmen and dwarves.
It’s just…
“Well, we’ve arrived.”
The holy land of the Beast tribes that arrived soon was very different from that of the Barbarians.
‘I’ve heard of it, but I can’t believe it’s this much…….’
It seems that the holy ground is located outside the city.
But that’s all they have in common.
Rather than living in shacks or tents in the bush, most of them are stone buildings, and there are even roads in between.
also.
“Dad, that’s a barbarian. Barbarian!”
There are shops that are open, and you can see the number of family members coming and going on the streets here and there.
It’s like living here, not in the city.
‘We were all kicked out when we became adults…’
The beastman’s sanctuary was literally like a village outside the city for the beastmen.
Was it strange that I was just staring blankly at this?
“Why is that…? Is there a problem?
“…It was just because it was amazing.”
“Huh? It’s strange?”
Misha tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.
There are many things I want to say, but I kept quiet.
Wouldn’t it be like spitting in my face if I told you about the barbarian’s poor environment?
I just asked a sneak peek.
“Are all holy places like this?”
“You don’t know what that means?”
“If you’re a beast, shouldn’t you raise animals in the forest too?”
In fact, even in the game, the beast’s sanctuary looked like that.
So maybe 150 years ago?
“Ah, I think I’ve heard that people lived like that in the past to keep traditions……. It’s so old that I don’t even know.”
“……Right.’
“Why are only the barbarians still the same?”
As we walked down the street, suppressing such dissatisfaction, a huge mansion
fell
in front of us. ”
Now, this is our home .”
As I exhaled, Misha started looking at me again.
“You don’t have to be nervous. It won’t be a big deal. Aren’t you Bjorn, the son of the little Balkan Yandel? My father likes famous explorers. Huh?”
Misha said as if to soothe me, but it was clear that he was nervous.
“You need to calm down a bit. I came to your house, why are you doing that?”
“Huh? Am I fine?”
“Then open the door. How long are you going to stand here?”
At my words, Misha calmed down her breathing and rang the bell to summon a servant.
“I’m going to go in there. Can you open it for me?”
The servant who didn’t respond to Misha’s request, gave a quick glance, then opened the door and left.
‘What is it?’
It was a very heterogeneous figure.
That’s because Misha was out of her half-penny days
.
I looked at Missha unintentionally and our eyes met just in time, as if he was also looking at me.
The emotions in his eyes were familiar to me.
My ex-girlfriend often made this kind of look in his eyes.
The look in his eyes when he caught something he didn’t want to see.
“That… You know, Bjorn. There’s something I haven’t told you yet.”
“Say it quickly.”
At my words, Misha gulped and carefully continued.
“Only my father knows that I signed a contract with the Soul Tree. So no matter what happens inside, I hope you don’t get angry. Okay?”
“I guess it depends on what it’s like.”
“No big deal. It’s just that it’s a little worse than that person I just saw.”
“More closely. Only then will I be able to respond.” Misha, hesitant for
a moment, spoke with a resigned face
.
There was no episode.
It must have been a selection of mild tastes.
It must have been much worse in reality.
“Of course, no one will do that to you. So don’t worry too much about—”
The corners of his mouth twist for some reason.
“Bi Bjorn? why are you laughing ooh don’t laugh If you do that, I’ll be scared……. If my father reveals the story later, it won’t be all over. I just have to be patient.”
Misha spoke up for her father with an uneasy face, but I feel that that was the biggest problem. A
guy like father knew everything and neglected him. Whether or not
there is a reason to accept that silence, anyway
. I let my child suffer for the sake of it.
But on that subject, he called me to this house.
‘You must have fucked me very hard.’
Suddenly, a shady malice begins to be felt in this huge mansion.
It feels like seeing a dungeon full of monsters.
Maybe that’s why?
A shout of ”
Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The servant who disappeared also showed up again.
“What are you doing, barbarian! Be
polite
!
” .”
Where in the world is there a barbarian who is polite to his enemies?
