Episode 150 The Barbarian Road (2)
Rotmiller is different from Misha and the dwarf.
Like a searcher, he is alert, quick-witted, and has thick bones in many ways, starting from the bottom.
Jeop, but I didn’t know you would ask such a straightforward question.
‘……It’s my karma, so I’ll have to deal with it.’
There is only one option that immediately comes to mind.
It is nonsense to admit that it is an evil spirit and appeal to Jung, so the only thing you can do is to break your head in a fit of rage for being insulted.
But…
‘No matter how you think about it, it’s strange.’
It’s not just that Jung’s judgment is clouded.
I know a lot about Rotmiller. If I had sincerely thought that I was a demon, there would never have been a conversation like this.
It’s because I’m a person like a herbivore if you have to ask.
Put simply, this means that Rottmiller is also not confident in his words.
Besides, I don’t feel any malice.
I quickly settled on a position.
‘As expected, it would be best to wait and see the situation.’
Of course, I have no intention of begging you to trust me by making an excuse that I am not.
Because that’s not the way of a real man barbarian.
After breaking the silence of about 3 seconds, I coldly opened my mouth.
“Rotmiller, I hope you have another reason for insulting me.”
Saying that you’re my precious colleague, so I’m asking you why you’re holding back.
In fact, it wasn’t even a lie.
If it hadn’t been for Rotmiller, my fist would have been flying to the head a long time ago.
But the old man just laughed.
“You probably thought you were genuinely angry. Before I got to know you better.”
“what?”
“Something like an oath or honor. Aren’t you the kind of person who gets caught up in ostentation and ostentation?
Rottmiller knew me too well to push me into acting. The warrior’s oath, which was like cheating, wouldn’t work either.
So I changed my position a bit.
“…I feel bad when I hear that from my colleagues.”
“Well, I guess so.”
Rotmiller shrugged and gulped down what was left of his drink.
A much more relaxed atmosphere than before.
“But you are so special.”
Rotmiller continued.
A barbarian reading a book.
A barbarian who is not buried in emotions.
A pragmatic barbarian who values other things more than honor. Most of them were things that could be glossed over as exceptional.
If you subtract only the last one.
A barbarian who knows information that a warrior less than a year old can never know.
“Then you said you heard a revelation in the labyrinth.”
After returning to the Tower of Heaven, I told my questioning colleagues that I had heard the revelation of Behela, the ancestor god.
First of all, isn’t it a world where God exists?
Misha and the dwarf just said that.
Rotmiller, who was worried, didn’t say anything, so I thought it went well at that time.
But…
“If I had to say something like that, who would believe it? I couldn’t believe it either. That’s why I thought you might be a demon.”
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking back then.
Well, if you assume that I’m an evil spirit, everything will be explained.
In the first place, that was the truth.
However, the situation was very positive.
“So you’re saying it’s not now?”
At my question, Rottmiller nodded without hesitation before continuing.
“In the books I read, evil spirits are described as beings that treat everyone in the world as their puppets. But you weren’t like that.”
Although the value of honor was low, he cared for his own people enough to advise and lead young warriors.
I felt a sense of loss and anger at the death of a colleague.
An act that an ordinary evil spirit would never do.
The path I walked has become a shield that protects me.
Well, it seems that it was something else that completely removed Rotmiller’s suspicions.
“Besides, didn’t the goddess of the stars give you an oracle? I saw it with my own two eyes, so how can you doubt it?”
An oracle given by Leatlas, the goddess of the stars.
I even grumbled because the vines were cut off within a day, but this really turned out to be a godsend.
“Thanks to you, I realized how narrow-minded I was. The reason I considered you a demon was because I saw you through the eyes of a criminal.”
No, I didn’t see it properly, but…….
I listened to Rotmiller’s words while suppressing my wriggling conscience.
“There are definitely people in the world who are especially loved by the gods. And history has called them by the name of heroes.”
“……Too much.”
“Whoops, I thought you’d say that. You tend to underestimate yourself. But at least I sincerely think so.”
I couldn’t say anything at Rottmiller’s bombardment of compliments.
Isn’t it funny to admit that?
I put my shyness behind and asked the last thing I was curious about.
“Then why did you bring that up?”
Rotmiller doesn’t think I’m a demon.
It may have been in the past, but it is now.
If so, why did Kangsu, who is said to be an evil spirit, throw a stone fastball?
The answer was completely unexpected.
“I wanted to give you a warning and advice.”
“A warning and advice?”
“Yes, you are wise, but you are also stupid in this area. No matter how much you trust your comrades, you need to hide yourself.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Shouldn’t you form a new team? Your uniqueness will inevitably come out like an awl in your pocket. Maybe someone like me will come out to judge you.”
said Rotmiller.
Unless you can talk about the oracle, hide yourself as much as possible.
I hope this will prevent any misfortune.
“As someone who has lived an ordinary life, I really wanted to tell you this.”
“…I see. Thank you. I will always keep the advice you gave me in my heart.”
“Hmm, somehow the talk got too long. Let’s finish the table. Murad will be on me.”
That’s how Team Banpunyi’s last drinking party ended.
Unlike usual, we parted ways without promising our next appointment.
“I hope the path you walk on will be full of light.”
half a team.
I’m getting a lot out of here.
***
The conversation with Rotmiller was informative.
It wasn’t because of the advice he gave me, but the situation itself alerted me.
Although it went well this time…
‘It could happen again anytime.’
There is no guarantee that this will happen next time.
So I thought about it.
If my co-workers are convinced that the being I am attached to is an evil spirit.
If you even have that evidence…….
then what should I do?
“…….”
I didn’t put the correct answer in my mouth.
Because that won’t change anything.
I will try to survive even if I become a terrible human being.
‘……I’ll have to be more careful.’ S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
In order to prevent that tragedy, I decided to pay attention to each and every action.
Just like when I first fell into this strange world.
Let’s calculate and move more thoroughly with the thought that the only one to trust is me.
if you really love them Because that’s the right thing to do.
“What are you thinking about Bjorn?”
“No big deal.”
“I wonder if I was drunk yesterday and said something strange…?”
The morning after Team Banpuni’s last dinner. I went out with Misha and headed to the Great Hall.
We didn’t have to go together, but…….
We had to stop by Come Mel B again later anyway.
“See you again. Do you have any concerns?”
As soon as I arrived at the temple, I called Crobitz.
A young paladin in his early thirties with a questionable expression on the day he returned after only two days.
I brought up the matter straight-forward.
“It’s not that I’m worried, I have something to ask of you.”
“Please…… listen to me first.”
dragon sword. No, the dragon sword is a valuable treasure, but he judged that having it would be nothing but shit.
“The twilight star will guide us. It will be great news for them.”
Did you think it was for the public good?
Krobitz readily agreed and said he would arrange a meeting with them.
For me, it was a story of an hour or more.
In the first place, it was arduous for a 6th grade barbarian to meet the head of the Balaur…
‘Meeting through the temple, so I wouldn’t think of striking the reward or taking it away for nothing.’
“When the date is set, I will send a call to the address you left.”
“Thank you for caring.”
Ok then this problem is over.
I left the temple with Misha and boarded the carriage to Commelby.
And as soon as I got off, I headed to the central exchange.
It was for a simple reason.
‘I have to raise the spirit imprint first.’
If it becomes known that he received the trust, there is a possibility that he will be kicked out of the tribe.
So, before that, step 6 should be taken.
Starting from level 6, you need materials, not just money.
“Are you registered for consignment sales?”
“I came because I had something I was looking for.”
I said that and submitted the documents I had prepared in advance to the staff.
immortal heart.
A material that can be obtained with an extremely low probability from troll by-products obtained through ‘Distortion’ magic.
It’s expensive, but if you have enough money, it’s much better to buy it. It’s an item that even those who specialize in catching trolls should only eat it once every few months.
“There is a total of 1 item that meets the criteria. Do you want to check the information?”
The search fee was 3,000 stone, and the confirmed price was 18 million stone.
After that, it’s up 1 million stones from last time.
“……I will not buy it.”
It’s a little disappointing, but I just bought it coolly.
Isn’t it an item that is out of stock so that there is only one in the entire exchange? There is no word on when this will be available again.
‘If the 6th level is this much, it can be said that from the 7th level, I almost have to get it myself.’
Arriving at the storage room with that thought in mind, I checked the item for defects and received the item.
With this, my purpose for today is over.
Then it was Misha’s turn.
“This time, let’s change your sword as well.”
“…Is that why you brought me here?”
Mischa looked at me as if asking why you decided that, but there was no big resistance.
It wasn’t strange.
He must have been feeling the limits of steel.
“With this new team, the goal is to go to the 6th floor, so don’t think about saving money.”
“……If you like something.”
Since it was a weapon that Misha would use, I searched for a suitable item while listening to opinions.
It took longer than expected.
It was agreed to purchase a long sword made of mithril and steel and made of a three-level alloy, but choosing a design was a problem.
“Oh, so it’s not about choosing pretty things!”
“Yes, let’s do something like that. Anyway, hurry up and choose. By the way, I like this one.”
“Oh, guess who isn’t a barbarian. Do you really think it’s all just as long as it’s heavy?”
Misha grumbled, but carefully selected the sword.
Did he have to pay attention to the sword’s weight distribution and reach? While talking about that, he was quite surprised to memorize the name of a famous blacksmith.
He is also an explorer . ” Wow,
the day will come when I will be able to use a sword worth 12 million stones in one sword……” ” Even
if I removed the enchantment, I could have saved 4 million stones.
” I should buy it! I’ll use it for the rest of my life!”
Misha, who finished receiving the goods from the storage room, hugged the sword like a baby.
And then muttered as if swearing.
“Oh, I really need to save the remaining money…”
I tilted my head.
” Why are you saving money? Leave only the money you need , and use all the rest to buy ‘beast blood’ and eat it.
”
If you eat ‘Beast Blood’, that time will be shortened
. Don’t even think about saving money.”
“…Is it really okay to just spend it like this?” ”
It’s not about spending it, it’s an investment for the future.”
It didn’t seem reasonable at first glance. Most of the essences of 5th grade or higher cost tens of millions of stones.
There is no need to buy anything below that
. I think it’s right to focus on that right now.”
In the end, with my strong persuasion, Misha used all of her assets except for her emergency fund to purchase ‘Beast Blood’. She
said she would take it later when she went home… “Then, let’s go back soon.”
After wasting our
property for several hours, we returned to the living quarters. It
was
around 8:00 PM.
Time to start.
‘If you go to the holy ground tomorrow morning to receive the spirit imprint, it will be over…’
I organized the things to be done once more until the next labyrinth opens.
Now there are three things left.
1. 2. Get information about Orculis
and Noark.
3. Form a new team.
Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t ask this guy. As soon as I thought about it,
I immediately asked. ”
Is there anything in particular you want or want when you ask for ?”
I’ve roughly decided on what composition to fill the remaining three positions with. However, I needed to listen to what Missha said. First of all, Myeongsaek is not only a
member of the original year, but also…
Isn’t his career as an explorer much longer than mine?
Judgment that perhaps he might be able to receive advice from an unexpected part.
“Uh…”
Mischa thought seriously and then opened her mouth cautiously.
“That… ….I hope it’s not this fairy.”
It was an unexpected request.
