BXBX NOVEL Chapter 459
Shaaaaaaa-!
A body like an anchovy being dragged helplessly as if the surprise attack had been effective.
“……!”
A hand stretched out in front of him wraps around his soft neck.
At that moment, Amelia called me.
“Yandel.”
A voice with a hint of concern.
If you really thought I would kill you, I’m a little sad.
You can’t break your head with just something like this.
I’m not really a savage either.
Kwak.
This is just a performance.
A little emotional.
“Your uncle is almost there.”
As expected, the explorers appeared in the distance as soon as I grabbed this guy by the neck, and it only took a short while for them to arrive in front of me.
“…What are you doing! Baron Yandel!”
They already knew my name.
It wasn’t particularly surprising.
He must have listened to the conversation with a message stone or something.
“Chehehe…!”
As I put more power into my grip, the dagger’s struggle became more intense.
“Let go of that hand right now!”
“Why should I?”
“No matter how noble you are, there is goodness! Do you think this is acceptable for trying to harm an innocent explorer for no reason?”
The guy’s words were misleading.
First of all, those who summoned the hierarchical lord without permission had nothing to say.
and second.
“Why is this guy innocent?”
I said clearly audibly,
“This guy is a traitor. You dared to intimidate and despise the titled nobles of Lapdonia without fear!”
“What kind of sophistry is that? When did this friend do that—.”
“What? Are you scorning me right now?”
“No, I don’t mean that……” Even as
the conversation continued, the dagger-jabber’s struggles continued to get worse
.
I thought he was a patient person.
At this point, he could pull out the dagger from his waist and slit his arm
.
“Let’s put that hand first and talk about it. There must be a misunderstanding, so if you talk—.”
If I push it further, I don’t think this guy will attack me, so I just threw it away and sent it to my colleagues.
“Deputy vice-captain! Are you okay?”
Huh… He must have been the vice-captain.
He went up after James Carla was dismissed
.
Responsibility for the clan is impressive, but that doesn’t make the cogtooth look good, including this guy
. What part of it was a misunderstanding?”
The man who shouted to let go of his hand tried to reply, but the dagger-jabber covered his mouth and stood up.
And…….
“I sincerely apologize for disturbing Baron Yandel. I apologize. Please forgive me.”
He asked for an apology without any excuse. “It was clearly my
mistake to
mention Count Alminus.”
“If you want to be punished, I’ll go back to the city later and accept it.” If this happens
,
it’s weird to say anything more.
He didn’t curse at me in the face, and didn’t he actually say that it was a threat in the first place
? Even if you ask ‘Mozlan’ for execution, there is a high possibility that it will not be accepted
.
At that time, there is a possibility that I will be strangled by something insignificant and that what I feared will be attacked.
Therefore…
“Then, are you still thinking the same?”
I ask again, withholding an apology.
It’s not an ‘apology’ or ‘
punishment
.
‘
The dagger jab seemed to organize his thoughts for a moment, then opened his mouth again.
“I’m sorry to say, but what do you plan to do when the accident is resolved?”
Simply put, it means what to do with the distribution of loot.
“Aren’t they both explorers? We have to roll the dice fairly.”
“…Is that so?”
The dagger-jabber, who had been breathing heavily as if sighing, gave an answer.
“Then we will fall.”
“…what?”
“There is a saying that a colleague who does not agree is more terrifying than an enemy. But isn’t it impossible to prevent Baron Yandel from intervening?
“So you’re just going to step out?”
“Yes. If you are called a hero, Baron Yandel, I can trust you.”
Huh bush.
“We will replace our duty by helping other low-level explorers remaining on the 3rd floor from now on.”
Interpreted, it means that the table will be overturned before someone raises a spoon
.
The problem is that I have no way to stop it.
If today’s events are known outside, there may be people who think that I was greedy for no reason and that they backed out and that the scale of the damage increased as a result.
‘No, I’ll definitely open a public opinion war to make it happen.’
“What would you like to do?”
In the end, I only had one option.
“I’ll leave Riakis up to you.”
It’s a pity that I couldn’t wear a spoon, but what can I do?
First of all, you need to catch the boss as soon as possible.
I don’t know how long I’ll die if left alone.
“Then the story is over.”
Seeing the dagger jab who wanted to go back to where he was, I had one last word.
“But keep one thing in mind.”
“……?”
“If I fail, I will be held accountable. It was you who stubbornly refused to help me.”
The answer came back after a while.
“…Remember.”
Can’t you just look at it and not hear it with the back of your ear?
***
After the hierarchical lord case was finished, I left the reed field without any regrets.
What are you going to do by watching it?
「Leaks, the lord of chaos, draws the power of the source.」
If Riakis eats all the marbles and uses an instant kill skill, it just becomes annoying.
It’s not hard to get out of the instant buy market, but maybe one of us could be designated as ‘prey’.
‘And if that happens, even when we fail, we can be held accountable.’
If cancer is like this, it is right to get out of the way cleanly several times.
“Bjorn! So where are you going?”
“Where there are people.”
“…huh?”
“Just by looking at it, I thought the attack would be longer.”
When I said that, Amelia showed interest and joined the conversation.
“Hmm, was there any basis for that assumption?”
“The first is the date.”
“date?”
“Yeah, if it’s a power that can be caught right away, there’s no way I’ve summoned it before the 13th day.”
Isn’t the name of the unlicensed subjugation?
It’s best to summon them before the labyrinth closes, grab them quickly, and bounce.
But did you have enough time?
It can be interpreted that he had a long-term game in mind.
“…Then what about the second one?”
“There’s a torch of purification hanging from his belt.”
“If it’s a torch of purification… that’s what you’re talking about. The number item of the 8,000th generation.”
No. 8645 to be precise, but anyway.
If all raid members have it, they can pass the 2nd phase of Riakis for free.
“But why is that a problem?” “If you use that item, it will be a long-term battle. The overall level of difficulty is lower, but if you want to get rid of it as quickly as possible
, it’s
one of the items you should never use…….”
“… I read in a book.”
“Ohhh! Great!”
Fortunately, Einar did not notice anything strange. I feel like this all the time, so I’m rather less vigilant.
“Kuhmmmm… Anyway! Maybe this condition could be maintained until just before the closing day, so I was just trying to save as many people as possible. Is everyone okay?”
“Of course!”
“Certainly… even if those people hold the most dangerous class lord, there will be people who can’t stand this condition for a long time. I like it.”
“I don’t care because it’s not a situation where I can go up anyway… Why do you bother asking our doctor when you’ve already decided?”
“Procedure is procedure!”
Okay then we agreed.
“…I agree too!”
Soon after I started wandering around in earnest, the Jokjok explorers I met recognized me and asked for help.
Among them, there were quite a few people with the ability to solve the spirits of chaos without problems for the rest of the time, but
there were no exceptions.
“Hey, it’s Baron Yandel!”
“Giant Bjorn Yandel…!”
“I bought it!”
Well, these guys will think that Riakis is wandering around the 3rd floor.
The fear must have been considerable.
“Thank you so much for accepting the bar…!”
“Ohhh! It’s the tribal chief!!! The tribal chief has come to save us!!”
After about 8 hours of walking without rest, more than 100 people gathered.
Therefore, I made a garrison in a suitable place.
I decided that I couldn’t keep moving with this amount of people…
“Warriors, can you help me?”
“Of course!!! Just tell me to do it!!”
However, there were not enough personnel to cover the entire garrison, so the Barbarian Warriors were entrusted with outer guard duty.
But how did this happen?
“Baron! We want to help with something too! Is there anything we can do?”
“Me too! I want to help!”
Other explorers also came to support, and a shift-type automatic defense system was completed in no time.
‘…If that’s the case, we don’t have anything else to do, right?’
I sent Erwen and Amelia out on a business trip, judging that the current number of people would be enough for the defense unless Liakis arrived in front of us.
“Erwen Emily. May I ask you a favor?”
“Yes! Trust me!”
“…It seems like I’m always doing troublesome things when I’m with you.”
Both of them have only one mission.
Traveling outside the garrison and bringing lost or isolated explorers to safety here.
“Bjorn! Me? What can I do!”
Unfortunately, Einar, who has no ability to find his way back by himself, was given the position of the Shelter’s chief of guards.
And… “The character’s reputation has risen by +1.
” “The character’s reputation has risen by +1.”
The value has increased by +1.」
「The character’s reputation has increased by +1……」
「…….」
「……」
Day 13 Day 14… …. Time
passed
quickly and it
was closing day
.
How many did you bring this time?”
“Thirty-one. I searched quite far, but now there are almost no people around.”
“I see. Take a break.”
“Yes.”
“……I hear
you’re taking a break?” “The one next to you is taking a break?”
“…….”
I didn’t know what to say, so I checked the time first.
[04 : 01]
About 18 hours left until the labyrinth is closed.
It seems that the low-level explorers who were trembling with anxiety are slowly regaining their composure.
Well, it must be relieved that 1,000 explorers have gathered to build a shelter and rely on each other.
Actually, I am getting more and more nervous . I’m losing.
‘It’s still in the raid……’
The cause of anxiety is, of course, the hierarchical lord.
I expected a long battle, but I didn’t know that I couldn’t solve it yet.
‘A few hours ago, the spirit of chaos disappeared . Looking at it, it’s clear that the second phase,
which takes the longest, is also over …’
, how would the raid
turn out? It would be a terrible thing if I was wandering around in one state.
“Whoa…”
I wonder what really happened.
In my frustration, I went around the shelter as if breathing air, and checked to see if there was anything wrong
. Well , it was
only natural that the spirits of
chaos would no longer
appear
.
-!
The vibration felt from the ground made us hard as stones while we were eating.
“That’s what Bjorn just did……”
[Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
!] Nemiral .
..”
“He’s here…”
“The other day, hundreds of people died in just one day…” Fear and
confusion spread through the crowd in an instant .
After
inhaling once, I shouted with all my might.
” Everyone be quiet!!
”
I can feel hundreds of eyes waiting for me.
I hurriedly checked the information.
“Is Erwen going this way?”
“…No.”
Yes? that’s kinda lucky
“…….”
Looking around, I called the name of the first man I met.
“Louis Seeyur!”
It was a wizard I met in the Orc colony.
“…Yes? Why am I…”
“From now on, you are in charge of this place.”
“…Yeah eh eh eh?”
Later, after the hierarchical lord was summoned, we met by chance and exchanged a few words, and he was quite smart.
“So you lead the people here and run away as far as possible.”
“Then what is the baron going to do!”
What are you asking for the obvious?
“We have to stop him.”
“Yes, yes? Ha, but Tersia-sama says he’s not coming this way…” ”
So you’re telling me to leave it alone?”
The low-level explorers on the third floor are not all here.
Numbers that can be multiplied are scattered all over the place.
If the guy who is certain that at least the 2nd phase is over starts fighting in earnest, the damage will get out of control.
“The baron ……”
“If you have something to say, do it quickly.”
“Really… you’re just what I’ve been told…”
What did you say?
“Listen to the meaning of doing well.”
I grabbed the hammer and headed in the direction Erwen said, and my colleagues quickly followed.
trudge trudge.
Given the situation, I took a bit of an urgent step.
As it continued, the low-level explorers in my path opened a wide path so as not to get in my way.
And…
“May the blessings of Lapdonia be with you…”
He quietly bowed towards us.
Who wants to die?
“Louis! What are you doing! Come on, don’t take me!”
I talked to the wizard who handed over the person in charge, but he didn’t answer anything. He
just bowed from a distance.
“…….”
I felt a bit awkward, so I increased my speed a little more.
Amelia laughed at me for being embarrassed.
Come to think of it, something was strange.
Why should I be ashamed of that?
So where is the upper level explorer who does this for the lower level explorer?
And even the titled nobility.
‘At this level, I could give you a bow as a sign of respect. It doesn’t cost money.’
Thinking like that makes me feel a little better.
trudge trudge.
Soon after we came out of the shelter, we picked up our speed and started running.
Still, to be honest, I regretted it a little.
‘If I knew it would turn out like this, I should have intervened at the time.’
That’s also the case, if you’re a level lord in phase 1, it’s possible to hold it somehow even by yourself.
I am confident that I will not die even if I just run a marathon until the closing day after being designated as a ‘prey’.
However, from the 3rd phase, the story is completely different.
‘I wanted to make this exploration a little broader.’
Of course, it’s not a hopeless situation like in Ice Rock.
Still, that’s not to say there aren’t any positives.
‘Is it phase 3 or phase 4?’
If it was phase 3, I would have to run around like a moving meat shield with no help.
‘I wish it was phase 4.’
If they’ve gone all the way to the final phase and failed to capture—.
[Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!!!]
I stopped my steps as I saw Riakis starting to appear in the distance.
And smiled wryly.
‘My stomach is very slim.’
yes, it’s worth a try
“Everyone get ready.”
“…You said you would only block it, but are you planning to fight?”
But how do you stand the last hit?
