Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 48 Colleagues (2)

After a moment of silence.

The dwarf, who hesitated on what to say, finally opened his mouth.

“Is that so…?”

A reaction that seemed puzzled and surprised.

“What are you so surprised about? I bet you have at least one of these!”

“That’s the way… Was your personality like this?”

Well I don’t know what he knows about me.

But the main welding would have been enough.

After a dwarf’s time, this sneaky information will give you a sense of my equipment level.

‘If this is enough, no matter how short my career is, I wouldn’t think of playing around with the distribution ratio.’

Of course, the announcement clearly stated ‘equal distribution’.

But I still remember it clearly.

The look on that dwarf’s expression, saying that he was greedy when he said he would take at least a crack stone instead of giving away all the loot in the Bloody Fortress.

‘In the end, no matter how nice they look, an explorer is an explorer.’

If you look down once in a place like this, there is no bottom and no end.

Therefore, I skipped the question of whether I could sit down and sat down across from him.

and spit it out

“You buy Hikuro’s sake. Didn’t you get the number item thanks to me?”

A comment that shows off your ability implicitly and reminds you of your debt.

“What? Hahahaha! Is that how it works?”

The dwarf laughed out loud, but didn’t deny it.

That’s also true, because I was the one who made the biggest contribution in ‘The Bloody Citadel’.

“Well, that’s not wrong! Time is early, but I’ll buy you any amount of alcohol. Let’s talk about the backlog while drinking!”

“good night.”

It seems to take a long time for the food we ordered to come out, but we naturally drank the drinks that came out first.

And we started talking in earnest.

It was the dwarf who started the rush.

“I was very surprised when I found out that it was you who submitted the application. What the hell happened? Could there be some treasure hidden in that rift? I’m sure the sorceress must have looked around?”

Unsurprisingly, questions abound.

If you look at me now, that would be a natural question.

I don’t have enough loyalty to answer honestly.

“Something like that.”

“What does that mean? Tell me more!”

“As you said, the treasure was there. That’s it. Ask no more.”

As soon as I cut and drew a line, the dwarf licked his lips.

Even if he asked more questions, he seemed to have judged that it would be difficult to hear an answer.

“I don’t know what kind of treasure you got, but you’re very lucky too.”

Are you lucky?

In the first place, it was this guy who benefited the most from the ‘Blood Citadel’ and went back.

I even suffered to die.

Didn’t this guy just take care of the number item with only one serving?

‘I’m also curious about what was dropped… Maybe I can ask about that later.’

The meal I ordered came out, so the rest of the story progressed while filling my stomach.

First of all, start with this.

“So, did the team members get together?”

“I don’t really like anyone, so you’re the first one I’m meeting.”

“Right.”

I nodded and, like a barbarian, went straight to the point.

The real purpose for which this seat was created.

“So what are you thinking?”

Will Hikurod Murad really accept me as a member of the team?

“Um… Actually, it’s big that I just came out to see if you’re the right one. Aside from looking for a team member, I wanted to have a chat. I’m thinking of going up to the 4th floor…”

The words are unnecessarily long.

It would be enough to say that he had no intention of accepting me as a member of the team at first.

“So, have you changed your mind now?”

I asked while staring at him, and the dwarf answered while stroking his stern beard.

“Kheuheum, you could say yes. Who would think you’re a beginner looking at you now? If it weren’t for the part that it’s difficult to get the rest of the team if you’re a beginner in the first place, you wouldn’t have even thought about it!”

I wonder what it would be like if I hadn’t said this in the first place because I’m going to make such a lame excuse.

But that kind of medicine has no head, which is probably one of the charms of this race of dwarfs.

“Then is the story over?”

“Hahaha! I can see that.”

As soon as I raised my glass, the dwarf followed suit.

“I’ll ask you well this time too.”

got a team

Right now, there are only two of them, but…

Well, from now on, pretending to discuss it together, I’ll be able to select them according to my taste.

***

“Hikuro said earlier that several people applied.”

“You did?”

“Who were they?”

“That? You don’t have to worry about it. They were 8th grade kids who were less than a year old.”

what? Are you going to turn me around?

As I was seriously thinking about it, the dwarf opened his mouth as if he remembered something.

“Ah! Come to think of it, I didn’t ask that! How did you get promoted so quickly? It must be difficult to get to level 7 with just one Corpse Golem Essence?”

“One Corpse Golem Essence?”

I mumbled and belatedly regretted it.

That’s right, he passed out at that time, so he doesn’t know that I ate the vampire essence.

Um, but can I just tell you the story?

When the inner conflict deepened.

“Aha! I see!”

Suddenly, the dwarf shouted Eureka.

“Ha ha ha! My thoughts were short! But with that much equipment, it’s worth being promoted to 7th grade!”

Ah uh um…….

It’s a plausible guess, but…

“…something like that.”

Now that this has happened, I decided to keep this fact to myself.

Anyway, the team hasn’t been officially formed yet, and I don’t know if someone will join the team in the future.

They say everything is fine.

Maybe one day this will be my trump card.

‘It’s enough to say that the regenerative power is thanks to the imprint of the Undead.’

The most important business was over, but after that, we had several conversations over a glass of wine.

Among them was why the dwarf was leaving the original team and forming a new team.

“You know, I’ve been out of the team for a while, haven’t I?”

“It did.”

I heard that you recklessly applied for a vacation to the team because you thought you might be able to get into the rift.

“But since I’m about to go back, wouldn’t it be that I like the warrior I temporarily saved to fill my vacant position!”

Then the dwarf vented his resentment on his former comrades in an exasperated voice, but I couldn’t relate to him at all.

‘Isn’t it a problem from leaving the team for personal reasons in the first place?’

The biggest victim is the former team leader.

I had to go into the labyrinth right away, but I must have been busy here and there because the dwarf suddenly said he was taking a break.

But I don’t know if there was a problem with that warrior.

rather better?

‘Even if I was the team leader, I wouldn’t accept this selfish guy again. I don’t know when this will happen again.’

It was, of course, a thought I kept to myself.

“Aren’t I such a foolish bastard?”

“That’s right. Listening to it, it seems like they really don’t know what loyalty is!”

In times like this, I just learned to be unconditionally positive.

Let’s take a look at it and ask what you’re curious about.

“I don’t know how good they are, but I’m sure you’ll hit the ground and regret it if you know what you got this time!”

“What did you get this time?”

“Numbers item!”

“Ah! Come to think of it, that’s also true! When we meet later, we should definitely tell them about this and let them know how foolish they are!”

Is that situation already pictured in your head?

The dwarf, who took a big sip of his drink, let out a hearty laugh.

Okay, is this natural enough?

“So that’s what I’m saying…”

I carefully took my luck.

“What did you get this time?”

“Well, haven’t I told you yet?”

“I didn’t!”

It was something I was curious about from the moment we met.

I know all the number items that can be dropped, but isn’t the one I cleared this time an unprecedented variant crack?

Perhaps a unique item has emerged.

Like the mysterious box that Raven left open in the boss room.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t ask what was in there.’

I decided to ask about it when we met next week, and while I was waiting for an answer, the dwarf grinned and put his thick arm on the table.

“These wrist guards are what we got there.”

Well, I can’t help but feel it just by looking at the outside.

“What’s your name?”

“The Guild’s appraiser said something called ‘Guardian’s Arm Guard’—”

“Fuck?”

did that come out?

“…Hmm? Do you know something?”

“Oh no. I was just surprised by the cool name.”

“Ha ha ha! As expected, there is something in common with you! I thought so too!”

No.3112 Protector’s arm guard.

Originally, it was a number item belonging to the 3,000th generation that could only be obtained from cracks on the 4th floor or higher.

Aside from the effect, how much was this?

“When I checked the market price through the central exchange, it seemed to be about 50 million stones.”

Niimi.

is this a game?

What did this dwarf bastard do so well there?

“Hahaha! That’s the old price, and they said it could be more expensive because there are almost no items for sale! Of course, I have no intention of selling it!”

“…….”

“Oh hey, but why didn’t you talk earlier?”

“It’s nothing.

To be honest, I was so surprised that my stomach, which had been filled with alcohol and meat for the first time in a while, was unbearably sore.

“I understand. Fifty million stones? I thought I fainted when I first heard it, but you probably do too.”

Is this something you give in return and receive in words?

Now that I see it, what I did earlier was nothing compared to this dwarf bastard.

“Don’t be too envious. If you keep exploring, won’t you get at least one number item someday? Of course it won’t be as good as what I got! Hahaha.”

Avoiding the eyes of the grinning dwarf, I slipped my hand under the table.

It was the hand that was wearing the ring of the spirit of frost

.

***

Retribution Guards? 50 million stones?

I decided to think as positively as possible.

It’s such a trivial problem that I feel like I’m going to vomit because my stomach is twisted. Anyway, isn’t it good if my colleagues are strong?

‘…Let’s just focus on building a team.’

With that in mind, the first thing I did was to raise the dwarf’s explorer level to the next level.

If you want to find a good team member, you need to look like an attractive team first.

There is a huge gap between a 7th grade team leader and a 6th grade team leader that cannot be filled by any words.

“Hikuro, go to the guild today and raise the explorer level first.”

“…suddenly?”

“You have equipment worth 50 million stones, don’t you? If you apply for review, the guild will definitely consider it seriously!”

“But it’s too sudden—” ”

So you don’t like it?”

“No, it’s not like that…” “Then

go now!”

I watched them submit their application to the guild together, fearing leakage. For

reference, the time it took for the screening results to come out was 6 days, a little later than expected, but fortunately, the promotion was successful. It was also at

this time that the applicants’ paper specifications rose noticeably. More than 10 applicants flocked in a day.

And

while I was in happy thoughts while carefully examining the specs of the dwarf and the applicants.

“A wizard?”

, the wizard’s application form suddenly arrived.

Of course, the wizard belonging to the Mage Tower No, he was an 8th grade wizard who did administrative work in a guild or public institution…

But a wizard is a wizard.

“Isn’t there something wrong with Bjorn? A mage applying for a team like this?”

“It’s definitely a bit strange. If you wanted to, there would have been many teams with better conditions than us.”

“Then, what should I do?”

There were a few uncertainties, but we decided to meet and contacted the guild.

And this morning,

the meeting place and time were finally set.

“You’re not going to ask for half of it for yourself, right? I heard that all wizards have high noses…”

I don’t know what he’s so nervous about.

He insisted on his share without being pushed back by Raven, who belonged to the Mage Tower.

“What are you so worried about? If you make such a request, just say yes and come out.”

“Isn’t that right?” Is it because it’s the first

wizard I’ve met as a team leader?

The man entered the tavern

and waved at us,

“Oh Barbarian! Dwarf!”

Is Shiva also a land mine?

How can you upset people with just that short greeting?

The catastrophe is already expected, but just in case you don’t know, I decided to wait a little longer.

“Ha ha ha! Nice to meet you, are you the wizard we were supposed to meet today?” ”

What is the probability of meeting a wizard by chance at a specific time and place?

”

Come out?

“…That means you’re right.

” Hahaha! Anyway, nice to meet you. I’m Hikurod Murad!”

“What an unusual name. I’m Liol Warb Dwalki, an 8th-class wizard of the royal family of Lapdonia.” ”

… A public official of the

royal family of Lapdonia?”

No, what else amazes me .

Ah, is that so?”

The mage who keeps confusing me is also a problem, but the dwarf who treats me one by one is getting annoyed.

“Haha! Even though he’s a barbarian, he has a lot of knowledge. What’s your name?”

“I’m Yandel’s son, Bjorn. Sit down for now.”

I was told to just watch it for a while, but it was frustrating, so I decided to lead the conversation from now on.

That would be the way to save both of our time

. But I have a few questions that I would like to ask. Are you okay?”

“Of course.”

“Do you have a labyrinth pass?”

“If you didn’t have one, would you have come?”

Just say that you have one.

“One more thing, why do you want to become an explorer when you can make enough money just living in the city?”

It’s rare for an 8th grade wizard to go on an expedition.

It’s for a simple reason.

They don’t have enough skills to work on the middle floors or higher. However, even if they do an expedition on the lower floors, it doesn’t make much money. The income earned by

working at a government agency is much higher.

Issuing a pass . Considering the difficulty of receiving it and the risk, it is not profitable in many ways.

“Hmm, is this an unexpected question?”

Dwalki tilted his head for a moment before continuing

. I want to become a great explorer and raise the honor of our baron Martoaen.” A

proudly expressed

aspiration

. Are you sure you were a nobleman? Aren’t you an aristocrat…?” A

nobleman.

In fact, the most powerful people in Lapdonia, whom ordinary people have never met in their entire lives. The

dwarf’s reaction was quite satisfactory, Dwalkie burst into laughter and proudly opened his mouth.

” Huhuhu, my mother’s sister, Aunt Enka’s wife, is Baroness Martoan’s third sister.” “……!!!” As

soon

as the words were finished, the dwarf took in a deep breath as if fainting, and Walkie patted him on the shoulder as if he understood.

A benevolent smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing that smile, I thought,

“Don’t be too nervous. I don’t intend to treat anyone carelessly with my status.

” Are you really crazy?
