Chapter 119
It’s because Dwalkie’s condition hasn’t improved.
[Even if you take more potions, you won’t get better. Because not all people’s bodies are as strong as yours.]
If there is no compensation for natural regeneration, it will take time for the muscles and bones to return to their proper places even after all the wounds have healed.
Therefore, as soon as we returned to the city, we had to run past the checkpoint and start with the temple.
Unlike Rotmiller, Dwalki wasn’t something that could be solved with time.
“Hoo, I think I’ll live a little longer now…” After
being unable to stand up for a week, Dwalki finally succeeded in standing alone after receiving ‘Advanced Healing’.
“Are there any aftereffects? I was worried because the treatment was delayed…” ”
Haha, don’t worry. My condition has improved enough to go into the labyrinth right now.”
“Then you’re lucky.”
Dwalki became active as usual with a single shot of divine power, perhaps thanks to the early suppression with the best potion.
Thanks for alleviating my worries.
If there were any aftereffects left, it would interfere with the next exploration.
“Then let’s meet again in two days, let’s go back and rest for today.”
In fact, the magic stones obtained after the entire team gathered were not long, so the distribution was postponed until after the completion of the request and disbanded.
‘Um, is it about 400,000 stone per person?’
I’ll have to share the exact details, but if I sold all the by-products of the Frogman Shaman and divided them into 5 parts, it would be about that much.
It was promised to give away 200,000 tons each for the potion price.
‘Fuck you troll bastard.’
The bone loss is no joke because of this kid.
It’s sure to cost quite a bit to repair to avoid crooked gear here and there.
If you made me go through that hardship, I would have spit out the essence.
There were a lot of things happening in front of me, so if it hadn’t been a mess, I would have come back at a loss.
“What are you going to do now, Bjorn?”
“I plan to go to the dorm to wash up and organize my things. Oh, of course, you too.”
“Hmm? Me too…?”
“Didn’t you come back after a good rest in the labyrinth? Don’t think about jumping.”
“I didn’t think of that? Anyway, it’s annoying to go to my dorm, so can I wash my clothes at your dorm?”
“Of course.”
I moved to my dorm with Misha because I didn’t have to waste my travels unnecessarily.
And I washed up first and came out.
I need to move quickly to get back to the commercial district before the carriage is cut off.
“Eh? Did you wash everything already?”
“It’s okay if you wash slowly. It’ll take quite a while to get everything sorted out anyway.”
“Oh really?”
Afterwards, after putting Misha into the bathroom, he arranged all the loot he had obtained this time by himself.
Equipment and consumables obtained after defeating the three men who were aiming for Gencia and the baby barbarian.
‘I think we can sell this and keep this and
then use it…….’ As we were organizing things well, writing a list on a piece of paper, someone knocked on the door.
“Are you in there?”
It was the first male voice I had ever heard.
When I opened the door, I saw a man wearing an Explorers Guild staff badge.
“Are you Bjorn Yandel?”
“……right.”
“Could you go to the guild together?”
fuck all of a sudden
I heard and followed similar words, and I remembered the memory of being imprisoned,
and I felt like shit.
I can’t even see the guards.
I decided to calm down and figure out the situation.
“Tell me what happened. I’ll decide after I leave.”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you that first.”
The employee was sorry, but then carefully explained the situation.
“……witness?”
“Yes, Yandel-nim will prove that he is not a predator…”
The baby barbarian fell into danger.
***
“Originally, this kind of request would not be accepted, but as you know, after ‘the incident’, all related regulations became strict…… I know it’s rude, but I visited to confirm. If it has nothing to do with him, just Feel free to decline—”
“Eggplant.”
“yes?”
“I’ll just change my clothes and come out, so wait.”
After closing the door, I put my coat over it.
And I informed Misha, who was in the shower, that I was going out.
“Misha’s schedule for today is canceled.”
“What? Suddenly why?”
“Something seems to be wrong with Charon. I’ll be visiting the Explorer’s Guild for a while, so wash up and then go home.”
“What? What does that mean…! No, more closely—!”
“I must have waited. Go ahead.”
“Is that so annoying, you barbarian senile!!”
It’s Misha’s cry that pierces the core. Anyway.
I headed to the guild with the staff waiting outside.
Coincidentally, the place I arrived at was the branch where I had escaped.
“It’s been a while here.”
“Yes? Oh yes……. Go in. The branch manager is waiting for you.”
“The branch manager…?”
Looking around the neighborhood and thinking about the old days, I follow the staff to the third floor and see Karon dozing on the sofa.
Opposite him is the branch manager of Mustache.
With a very uncomfortable expression.
“Oh how are you?”
“……Thanks to.”
It’s blunt.
Still, it doesn’t seem to be as troublesome as one might think. If Charon was really accused of being a plunderer, he wouldn’t be dozing here, he’d be locked up in a dungeon.
rumbling-!
First of all, I woke up from Karon.
No, is it a bit like waking up?
“Karon, don’t pretend to sleep and get up. There’s no need to do that until here.”
At my words, the branch manager and staff tilted their heads at the same time, and then Karon slowly opened her eyes.
“…How did you know?”
how do you know how do you know
Saying such a meaningful thing at the end and disappearing.
“Somehow, if it were you… it seemed like it would.”
“Does this mean that you will be recognized as a warrior?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
I nodded roughly, and Karon greeted me with a genuinely happy smile.
“Anyway, thank you for coming. Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
“Of course. Didn’t they do something bad?”
“It didn’t happen, so don’t worry. If that’s the case, would this friend ever be here?”
well that’s right
but i didn’t ask you
“Answer Charon.”
“There was no such thing.”
“Right.”
I nodded and smiled.
This is why precedent is important.
Would they have treated me this well if I hadn’t dropped that shit?
dump.
In that sense, I do not ask for permission and sit comfortably on the sofa. Maybe the branch manager forgot what kind of guy I am.
“I’ll do it with rum.”
“Are you discriminating against me for being a barbarian?”
The branch manager let out a long sigh.
“Whoa… I don’t have any alcohol. If it’s tea, I can serve it—”
“Cold water. I put ice on it.”
“That’s right…”
Are humans really learning creatures?
Instead of pointing out my unanswerable tone or behavior, the branch manager gave me what I wanted.
I learned how to treat ignorant barbarians with my whole body.
‘A barbarian is really a scammer, I mean.’
As I put my dusty feet on the expensive-looking tabletop, Charon looked at me with shining eyes.
“As expected, you… you are a great warrior…”
It seemed quite impressive that you acted indifferently in front of an existence that was equivalent to the head of an explorer’s guild.
Well, it seems the same was true for the branch manager.
Seeing him shaking his mustache as if he wasn’t praying.
“You guys really…”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“…none.”
As soon as he asked back as if growling, the branch manager lowered his tail for fear of being caught.
food.
It was the reaction I had expected.
A lot has changed since I saw you before.
He wasn’t the 9th grade barbarian back then.
“I’ve heard your rumors. They’re called Little Vulcans, right?”
Became a Level 6 explorer in just a few months.
A famous explorer with a future that even earned a nickname.
I am also close with Baron Martoang, and there are even rumors that the Count is watching me carefully.
Also, if you’ve been watching me, you’ll know that I went in and out of the Mage’s Tower every week because of Raven’s research.
Of course, there are other important things.
“Here’s ice water…”
I grew stronger.
Enough to turn the branch manager’s head into a bursting tomato with just one second.
What do you know about being in the middle of a city where law precedes violence? At least the branch manager thinks I’m not a bastard to care about that.
“Stop the noise and get to the point. Now what are you going to do with Charon?”
When asked as he pushed aside the ice water he had ordered, the branch manager shrugged.
“…Nothing. If you want, you can leave that friend. It was confirmed by the wizard that it was self-defense.”
“……what?”
I was momentarily dazed at the unexpectedly cool answer.
‘Have you already confirmed with the wizard?’
It certainly wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.
It’s because he’s not as strong as I am.
Without having to call me, with a single spell, I could have found out if Charon’s words were true or not.
But that’s what it means.
‘It must have been me who had a purpose, not Charon.’
I quickly finished figuring it out.
Yes, this is what the Explorers Guild is like.
Now, my heart is starting to get a little tight.
“Karon, you should go away.”
“Is that okay? I’m hungry, but…”
“If you skip meals, you won’t grow taller. Go ahead.”
“Okay! See you next time, Yandel’s son, Bjorn!”
First, I sent out Charon.
I don’t know what it is, but the branch manager wanted fewer people to listen to it.
“Audrian-kun, you did a good job. You should go down too.”
“Yes, Chief.”
Soon after, the staff member who guided me and gave me ice water left, and only the two of us were left in the branch manager’s office.
“…….”
No one said a word, and the silence naturally continued.
I didn’t rush and waited for him to speak first.
“The reason is?”
“Lady Urban’s wants to meet you.”
“You mean the young lady of Urban? Who is that?”
As I gazed at him with eyes wanting a detailed explanation, the branch manager asked back as if it were absurd.
“Are you serious? You really don’t remember the person you held hostage?”
Oh, the daughter of the district manager.
She’s going to say that a long time ago. “…
But I guess you have n’t completely forgotten?”
Is it?” “Well, when you meet him
, you’ll know—”
What do you say, where are you eating rice cakes?
“Then I refuse.”
“What?
”
The branch manager hurriedly continued,
“…I can’t speak for a long time, but it will never be harmful to you. Rather, I hoped it would be helpful.”
Well, seeing that he did it this far, I don’t think he would spit out any other information if he tried more.
‘The woman who was held hostage wants to meet me…’
There was nothing to worry about
. Tell them no!”
I’m sure I’ll be busy anyway.
It’s a no-brainer.
***
In the middle of the street in broad daylight.
“Ha ha ha ha……”
Erwen was running through the crowd
. Sweat was already seeping into her washed body as well as the skirt she had been wearing for the first time in a while
……
“Well, it’ll be okay.
Weren’t they showing each other even more than this?
Meeting him first was more important to her.
‘……He was alive as well!’
Bjorn, the son of Yandel,
was
the first companion she had and the barbarian who saved her when she was wandering alone in the labyrinth
. .
_
_
_
_ I knew the name.
One of them even knew the location of the inn he was staying in.
‘Wait a minute… Then why didn’t you tell me?’
I suddenly thought of that, but Erwen didn’t dig deep. He
probably didn’t hear it
. There’s no way my sister was hiding it on purpose
. It wasn’t an important fact right away
.
My heart was beating non-stop.
A pleasant echo that I have n’t felt in a long
time. I didn’t want to see the sun rise and set, so I lived with the curtains closed all the time, but the sunlight that touched my skin was warm and cozy today. ‘Let’s start by offering an apology
. He must have been looking for me too. Perhaps the reason he couldn’t find me was because he didn’t remember where our accommodation was.’
Arriving at his destination, Erwen gathered up his thoughts one last time in preparation for the upcoming meeting.
Then, after adjusting his disheveled clothes, he
knocked
on the door.
Hearing the sound of people walking inside. And it
quickly got closer.
My heart felt like it was about to burst. I wanted to meet up with the old man and have a conversation
like
before. Just like when we talked about our daily lives and laughed and chatted. ‘Would you be
surprised to know that I have commanded all the four great spirits? Oh no… Mister has become much stronger than me, so shouldn’t I be proud of something like this?’
I was a little worried, but in the end, he would praise me. He said
that
he did well and that he had a lot of hard work.
It’s not someone else, but he’s a man, so he’s definitely going to be
like that
.
Finally the door opened.
But what is this?
“Huh? Who are you?”
The one who opened the door and came out was a man
from the Miao tribe with triangular ears on his head.
Erwen checked the number on the door.
Number 201.
It wasn’t a mistake.
He asked me several times to confirm . I couldn’t have heard it wrong. Then, did the person who told me know what was wrong?
Hmm, I guess so.
But maybe it’s the next room, so let’s ask. He’s such a famous man, but if you live in the same dorm, you’ll surely know.
” … Do you know which room Bjorn Yandel is staying in?”
“Huh? Wasn’t Bjorn a guest?”
“Yes? What do you mean by that……”
“If it’s Bjorn, you washed up a while ago, so would you come in and wait?” You
said you washed a while ago…?
No, wait a minute before that… If you’re talking about this woman, here it is. Isn’t that the uncle’s room?
Confused.
What’s going on?
“Or tell me who it is. When Bjorn comes back later, I’ll tell you that someone came.”
Only then does it seem as if they are living together. Erwen looked up blankly and checked the beastman’s face once again.
It was pretty.
She, from a fairy tribe, didn’t seem to refute anything. To the point where I couldn’t do it.
And…
Drip drip.
It dripped down from my red hair.
As if I had just washed up.
“Didn’t the uncle say he washed and left a while ago?”
“Yeah, but why?”
Any problem The corners of Erwen’s lips curled up as if to answer as if he was there.
Of course, that time wasn’t long.
“No. Nothing. Can I go inside and wait?”
“What about…?”
Soon after, she entered the room,
which was messy with loot all over the floor.
“It’s a little messy…? I don’t normally do this…”
“I know. What is this? I’ve done it with you too.”
“Huh? Have you tried it? Aah… you’re an explorer too?”
“Yes.”
“But don’t get me wrong? This is all from the looters—”
“Don’t worry. I’m not misunderstanding.”
Erwen interrupted the beastman’s words and focused on the sound in his heart.
Then he smiled and
continued. Shouldn’t it be?”
Her heart, which had been beating hot just a moment ago, suddenly cooled down.
