Chapter 299
If the child is a son, the father’s name is used as the surname, and if it is a daughter, the mother’s name is used as the surname.
That is why there is no family within the tribe, and all barbarians consider each other like family.
What does it matter now?
‘Yandel Jarku.’
It is highly unlikely that they are the same person.
How much would ‘Yandel, the third son of Jarku’ be?
In fact, it is correct to regard them as biological fathers.
But…
“Ha ha ha! How long are you going to embarrass my hand!”
Okay, let’s get our minds together first.
father? But how about that?
You may be surprised and bewildered, but you won’t be stunned like this.
It’s not like I’m the real Bjorn Yandel.
“Oh, I was thinking about something else for a second.”
Once he shook hands, he stepped back.
This is the end of my self-introduction.
Carlton laughed awkwardly and got to the point.
The first thing to do when explorers from different affiliations met in a rift.
“Haha, that’s enough of the introduction. We’ll have to go together from now on, so let’s discuss how to dispose of the loot.”
As soon as the loot distribution was mentioned, Amelia grabbed my wrist and led me back.
“Let’s talk with a colleague for a while.”
huh? Are you talking about it?
I tilted my head and followed him obediently.
And when it was just the two of them, he asked quietly.
“Why did you suddenly say you would do a jacket? You must have already decided how to distribute the loot?”
“I didn’t call it for loot.”
“What if not?”
Amelia asked cautiously at my question.
“Are you okay…?”
Only then did I understand why he had called me separately.
Well, he probably doesn’t know why I was hardened.
“It’s okay. I was a little surprised, but I won’t have an accident like you’re worried about.”
“I’m asking because I’m worried about something like an accident…”
Huh? if not that, what is it?
As I stared, Amelia murmured.
“It’s okay, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Then I’ll go back. I’ll do the distribution issue as I decided earlier.”
Pretending to have finished the discussion, we returned to the center and dealt with the spoils delivery issue in earnest, and it was over quickly and without much fuss.
Well, we’re not here to eat the essence.
“Is it really okay if I just take the magic stone…?”
Instead of giving all the essence that comes out to the other side, it was decided that we would keep everything else.
“Not only magic stones, but also number items and rift stones.”
“But you’re not sure if we can capture the Guardian?”
“Never mind, that’s our business.”
“Well then, yes.”
Carlton looked bewildered at the conditions that were too favorable for them, but he didn’t say anything more.
So, this is the end of the loot agenda.
“……Come here to Yandel!”
After that, I really can’t get used to it.
Every time my name is called, I cringe for no reason.
“Huh? I’ll talk more with the authors…”
“It can’t be done later. I saw earlier that the ax blade was dull, but you’re sharpening it with a whetstone.”
“Huh? I think I’m fine… Got it!”
Anyway, as soon as the conversation about the loot was over, Yandel Zarku was called by a colleague, and we didn’t really approach either.
An awkward time passed while we kept our distance from each other.
“What are you talking about over there?”
“I’m guessing what the intention might be if we don’t eat the essence.”
“guess?”
I wanted to care about everything, but thinking about it, I didn’t know if it was natural for them.
There is room for interpretation that saying that we do not eat essence means that we are strong enough to not need the essence of the 3rd rift.
I’m anxious because I don’t know who we are…
“What kind of people are Beyonce’s parents?”
Then, out of the blue, Amelia asked me.
The intention was so obvious that I ate and laughed.
What
“are you curious about my biological father?”
“any.”
“I’m sorry then. Actually I don’t know much about it, except that I died in the Labyrinth when I was very young.”
It wasn’t just a joke, it was the truth.
Not because I was a demon, but even the original owner of this body knew very little about his father.
It was common in barbarian society.
99% of the members of this tribe make a living by exploring the labyrinth.
It is inevitable that the death rate will be high.
“Stop talking about this.”
I spoke firmly, and Amelia, without probing further, leaned against the wall and began chewing on the jerky.
How much time had passed like that?
drooling.
The front door, which had been firmly closed, began to open.
“It looks like all the portals on the other side are also closed.”
It was time to start exploring the rift.
***
The White Temple is a competitive rift.
Only one team can enter the boss room, and this is determined on a first-come, first-served basis.
In that sense, we had a good start.
Thanks to the early entry deadline for 5 people, we were able to take care of issues such as the distribution of loot in advance
…
If you’re going to lose strength with the formation, you did it earlier.
“I’ll go first.”
“Ah! Then I’ll stand by—”
“Yandel!”
“……?”
“Come here. Monsters can come out from behind.”
“Ah got it!”
As soon as I stood in front, the battle formation naturally took shape.
Zarku is at the back, and the other three are in the center.
Of course, the formation did not mean much to us.
Anyway, isn’t this the 3rd floor crack?
It’s also of difficulty based on 5 players.
‘Let’s quickly clear and leave before troublesome things happen.’
When I entered through the door with such determination, a stone chamber with the same structure as the previous temple appeared.
The pyeongsu was similar, but there was only one stone statue.
And…….
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
The light that flowed from the blue jewel held in the statue’s hand spread through the hall like fog.
‘It’s the boss type from the start.’
Confirming only the characteristics of this room through the colors, I strode forward into the fog of light, clearing my throat.
Then Carlton panicked and gave a warning.
“Look here! I don’t know what might come out…”
Well, yes. You guys don’t know that in detail.
I knew it was a competitive structure, so I did it just in case.
Now that I look at it, it seems that I have only heard a little about what the White Temple is like.
thud.
Then a huge shadow appeared from beyond the fog.
It was bipedal and reached a height of almost 5 m.
Blue Armored Giant.
Originally, it was a mid-boss type enemy that the explorers on the 3rd and 4th floors would have to fight together as a team of 5 to defeat.
However, at any rate, it was a monster on the 3rd floor rift.
Even in terms of experience, the grade is only 6th grade…
‘It’s lower than 5th grade even in terms of force.’
Even if it’s a mid-boss, it’s nothing compared to a 5th grade monster like a troll.
Therefore…
“Be—”
Oh, you can’t do this.
“Ougaaaaaaa!!”
He let out a primitive cry and dashed forward.
“Wait! We have to fight together……”
Carlton said something from behind, but there was no reason to listen. It would be easier for both of us to openly reveal our strength than to hide it.
‘Giant.’
First of all, after matching the weight class with the opponent.
‘jump.’
Jump up and close the distance at once.
And…
‘wield.’
Full swing with all your might.
Kwajik-!
With that basic combo, the neck of the Colossus wearing blue-silver armor was broken in a deformed shape.
“What power…!”
Newbies praised it from behind, but it was quite bitter for me.
Is this the tanker’s woes?
Right now I can’t get one kill even with my strength.
It’s embarrassing.
I’d just take it to the dealer.
“Emily!”
As soon as I called the dealer, I felt someone from behind.
And…….
Fuuk.
A dagger overflowing with aura pierced the heart of the Colossus.
Kwajik-!
Soon, the colossus turned into light and disappeared, and the surrounding fog disappeared.
The situation ended within 3 seconds of the start of the battle.
“Oh come……”
“Why are these people on the 3rd floor…”
The newbies from 20 years ago began to giggle.
It was then that he realized.
“What are you doing? Why don’t you follow me?”
“Ah, let’s go…!”
That they boarded the express bus.
***
The 3rd floor crack is a staged structure.
When one room is cleared, the next room opens and only the team that finishes it the fastest gets the right to enter the boss room.
Kwajik-!
Even after clearing the first room in 3 seconds, Amelia and I showed off our skills and cleared the rooms at high speed.
However, it was rare to finish everything in a few seconds like the first stage.
If there is a boss type, there is also a quantity type.
“Ougaaaaaaaa!!”
For a set period of time, monsters pouring in or traps or monsters spraying mental abilities appear.
The difficulty of the stage gradually increased as we went through the various concept rooms.
It was a characteristic of the White Temple.
Every time you clear a stage, this place grants abnormal conditions to characters or gives permanent buffs to monsters that will appear in the next stage.
So, I usually don’t run like this.
“Wait! I’ve heard about that pattern before. There’s something hidden here that can lift the curse on us…” As
Carlton advised, the classic strategy is to activate the hidden elements in each room. is to do
In the first place, there are hints like that openly in every room.
At the fork in the road, look at the pattern to find a room where you can lift the curse.
But…
“I’m not in the mood for that.”
“How bizarre is that you’re not in the mood to—”
“That’s a lot of talk. Just follow me.”
“…….”
I skipped everything that took even a little time.
Even if the difficulty level rises, it is judged that there is no particular problem in clearing.
It was a time when I was breaking through the cracks like that.
“Emily, why won’t this door open?”
“It’s a feature of the golden room. I don’t know why, but I had to wait about 3 hours to open it.”
“Oh is that so?”
When we arrived at the midpoint of the rift, we gathered together and had a rest.
“Are you going to rest here?”
When I asked if it was comfortable to be far away like before, Carlton smiled awkwardly.
“It doesn’t make any sense anyway.”
um that’s the case
I didn’t expect it to come out so honestly.
As we were laughing, Carlton apologized.
“I apologize. At first, I thought you were suspicious. I thought they might stab us in the back.”
“But not now?”
“Yes.”
“The reason?”
“If you guys had a bad heart, we would have died a long time ago. No. Just because the three of us fall out doesn’t mean the two of us don’t have the skills to break through the rift.”
Carlton, who gave a logical reason, continued.
“Above all, they don’t seem like people who would do that.”
“Intuition?”
“Yes. That friend’s, not me.”
At the end of Carlton’s gaze, there was a barbarian warrior chewing on beef jerky.
Now that I look at it, it looks like
I have a profile . “Rest.” “Oh, what are you doing
here
? Oh, would you like some?”
Zarku smiled innocently as soon as I arrived and held out the jerky.
Once he received it, he put it in his mouth.
By the way, there was no need to take off the helmet. In case of this, during production, I made it so that only the mouth could be raised and lowered. There.
“Isn’t that uncomfortable? If it were me, I’d be so stuffy that I wouldn’t be able to last even a day.”
“Once you get used to it, it’ll be fine.”
“Haha! That human adaptability that everyone is talking about!”
Zarku laughed heartily, spread his backpack and lay down on the floor. Then he asked an unexpected question.
“Do
you have children, Beyond?
” ? I have.”
“What’s your name?”
“Bjorn. I am Bjorn, the son of Yandel.”
Yes, you really are the real father of this body.
More than anything else, as the clear evidence was laid in front of my eyes, I felt my heart tighten
again
. ….I think so.”
After that, Zarku chatted one-sidedly for a long time. Most of them were about children, and I listened to him
in
silence
. I couldn’t make eye contact for a while.
So I averted my gaze.
Then, I saw Amelia from afar observing me with a sad look in her eyes.
Thanks to that, I realized the feeling in my heart
. A child of her blood—”
“Stop!”
“Huh?”
“Stop, I’ll be gone…”
It was a feeling of guilt.
