Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Three women are sitting on the sofa, sipping tea.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it because it’s a special unit made up of 30 people. That means it’s being done in top secret.”

Amelia continued with Raven’s muttering.

“As long as the war is getting longer, it seems that the royal family is also looking for a way to turn the situation around.”

“Yes. Considering the names of the nominees the Marquis said, it’s to the point of questioning whether it’s really possible to unite them as a team.”

“But that part must be true. I heard that the Marquis made that assertion.”

“Then it would be more accurate to say that they are plotting something big enough to require that much power.”

While the two talked and discussed in serious voices, Erwen did not seem to be deeply interested in the current situation.

“You didn’t like anything too sweet, did you? Eat this. I bought something light on purpose.”

“Ah thank you.”

As I was eating the peanut cookies Erwen gave me, Raven looked at me with disgruntled eyes.

It seemed that he didn’t like the fact that he just explained the situation and stayed still.

He swallowed only what he was chewing on and opened his mouth.

“Raven, so what are you going to do?”

“…how do you do it?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I, Erwen Emily, and the Marquis’ Yongin tribe have two seats left.”

“Ah…….”

“I want you to be with me too.”

When asked directly, Raven averted his gaze with a slightly perplexed expression.

“I want to help on the front lines too, but I think it will be difficult right now.”

The answer was bound to be a little disappointing.

“…okay?”

I tried not to show off as much as possible, but Raven explained the situation without even asking me if he felt that way.

“Both on the battlefield and in the city, it has recently become more common for Captain Pevrosk to be called here and there

.

Well, this would have been trustworthy as a colleague.

It wasn’t really my fault, but I didn’t like seeing him look down like that, so I hurriedly closed the topic.

“Why are you making excuses? If you’re busy, you can’t help it.”

“Thank you. For your understanding.”

“You understand, and you don’t have to make excuses.”

“…….”

Anyway, with this, Raven’s recruitment went through the water.

How do you fill in the remaining two spots?

While I was thinking about it, Amelia spoke to me in a quiet voice.

“Suitz, do you think the team needs a navigator?”

“Well, since I’ll be traveling on a large warship anyway, I don’t think it’s really necessary.”

“…is it.”

Amelia nodded without saying anything, but the atmosphere was somehow strange. Could it be that he wanted to take the anti-subterranean navigator Auyen with him?

No matter how much you enjoy sailing

, there is something called TPO……

“Okay. I’m worried because I haven’t been eating well lately, but I’ll just have to take more walks than usual.”

“……Yes, then it will be fine.”

So, this is the end of the navigator problem.

“But, Raven, do you know anything about that dragon woman?”

“No. This is the first time I’ve heard of the name Lavien. But I’ll go back and find out. Perhaps the leader might be different.”

“Yes please.”

Afterwards, Raven finished the tea and left, saying that he had an affair, and after that, the three of us discussed which of the candidates the Marquis had told us about to include in the team.

Although the two were always at odds, the first colleague easily agreed.

“I guess we’ll need a wizard first.”

“I am of the same opinion. Without a wizard, there are too many inconvenient things.”

Replenishment of the vacant wizard position due to Raven’s failure to recruit.

And…

“What about the one seat left?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a priest?”

If possible, put a fuse in the last place.

If it is difficult, I concluded that it would be better to fill in a support-type supernatural magician.

That’s right, I’m enough for a tank, Amelia for melee, Erwen for long range, and a mage will also come in.

It was decided that it would be better to prepare for variables with a support-type supernatural magician and put more effort into the melee line.

It was all reasonable, so I accepted it easily.

Except for what was said at the end.

“Then, this person is the wizard, this person is the priest, and if the priest says he can’t come, I think the supernatural magician is this person!”

While having a conversation, Erwen expressed his opinion brightly, pointing to each of the names on the candidate list.

And the question here is…

“Oh, are they all male?”

It was just an answer to the words I spat out without thinking.

“Yeah… aren’t there too many women next to you?”

“…huh?”

Still, does it make sense to only pick men for that reason?

I glanced to the side as if hoping for help, but contrary to my expectations, Amelia only nodded.

It’s as if you totally sympathize.

“I’m sure it would be better to choose a male.”

“……why?”

“Because you can’t judge properly when a woman gets entangled.”

What is he saying again?

What an iron-blooded man I am.

If a woman or a man had to be killed, they always cut their heads equally.

The first player I killed in Glacier Cave was also a woman.

“Emily, I think you misunderstood something. Why did you think that?”

When I asked as if I was unfair, Amelia answered immediately without much thought.

“Because it was like that to me too.”

What happened to my image to them?

***

Ten days left until the next labyrinth opens.

After returning to the city, Amelia, who stopped by the commercial city every day, finally finished disposing of the spoils.

To put it simply, I was finally able to organize the final income from this exploration

…

It’s a truly staggering amount of money.

At the same time, it was an income that was difficult to achieve with this number of people, no matter how many floors they climbed with magic stone income alone.

‘Well, since I robbed all the clans on the 6th floor, is it natural?’

Still, it’s surprising to hear the amount.

Even the broken ships were not paid for, and the decision was made not to sell and keep the largest ships for future use.

Selling just this boat would have tripled the total income.

“Then what about this cash?”

Amelia, who worked harder than anyone else to dispose of things, asked me about my intentions, and I answered without hesitation.

“Definitely divided equally.”

“Then I’ll take a little over 110 million stones per person.”

Amelia smiles after a long time, saying that this is enough to buy the weapon she has been eyeing for a long time.

However, it didn’t take long for that smile to fade.

“Rather than thinking about changing weapons, I want you to pay me back first.”

Erwen’s voice was too cold to be seen as speaking to a colleague.

Of course, the request itself was reasonable.

The deal got a little complicated, but it was Amelia who put my Demon Grinder as collateral in the bank.

With the money, Amelia purchased the essence and was unable to pay back the money, so she had to take out a loan against Erwen’s house.

“There must still be some time left before the debt is repaid…?”

“Because I thought that if I spent so much, I would never be able to pay it back within that period. And wouldn’t it be better to pay off the debt quickly in the first place?”

“…how much is it?”

“Of course, that’s all. If I rob all the money I earned this time, I think I can pay it back.”

“…….”

At Erwen’s words, Amelia looked up at me like a dog with a droopy tail.

Just looking at them, their eyes begging for help.

But what am I going to do here

“…Let’s buy weapons next time.”

“Last time when I asked if it was okay to switch weapons, you promised me you would.”

“Isn’t the situation a little different. You would have agreed to ride the biggest ship without selling it?”

“That’s because even if it’s not on the 6th floor, there will be times when you need a boat.”

“Yeah, I did. Just wait a few more months. Then I’ll give you the money too.”

“…….”

Amelia didn’t even answer, probably pouting.

However, looking at the window and quietly exhaling, it seems that he has understood the current situation to some extent.

What should I give him to get rid of it at a time like this?

He didn’t seem to be particularly impressed with the good food—

“Is anyone else here?”

huh? People?

At Erwen’s words, I went outside to find out that it was a man from a family of marquis. He was a man with a strong physique, but he was wearing everyday clothes, so it was hard to tell if he was a knight.

The conversation we had was also very short, only a few words.

“This is a letter from the Marquis.”

“Ah, thank you for telling me.”

After returning home, I checked the letter first.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a Marquis or because I’m a barbarian, but the content of the letter was very short and concise.

[The shaman problem has been resolved. I’ll send someone tomorrow morning, so come with me.]

Yes, I’m finally taking the 7th level of the spirit engraving.

***

Next morning.

As soon as the day dawned, I left the house and headed for the ecliptic in a carriage sent by the Marquis.

Originally, it would have taken 6 hours to travel by wagon, but this time it was possible to depart in the morning and arrive in the morning by using the military platform.

‘It’s really comfortable…….’

The mansion arrived without even having time to take a nap.

However, this time I couldn’t meet the Marquis.

Did you go to the palace early in the morning for work?

Well, since the Marquis was not an unemployed person, but a prime minister of a country, he must be very busy.

In fact, it was right to say that the reason why I was able to live alone so often recently was because the Marquis cared so much about me.

Even though it was dinner or a conversation over a meal.

‘Well, it’s more comfortable not to see me.’

Anyway, I followed the guide of the Marquis family and arrived at the office located on the 3rd floor of the main

building

. After building it, the guide left and only the two of them were left, so he handed over a greeting.

“…You went through a lot of trouble coming a long way, Baron Yandel.”

The tone itself is gentle and seems to be dealing with equals, but somehow it exudes an atmosphere of intimidation.

Oh, is it because you don’t make eye contact when you talk?

“It’s a hardship. Thanks to that, I came comfortably. How about my body? Fortunately, the facial bones seem to have attached well…” ”

…As you can see, I’m fine now.”

“That’s good.”

“Oh, and I couldn’t tell you this last time. I apologize for being rude earlier.”

Listening to Eltora, the son of the chancellor, I almost burst out laughing without realizing it.

In fact, I know that it’s just a courtesy.

Even so, the one who was beaten in the middle of the night said something rude. Should I say that apologizing is a bit funny

? I’ve finished talking about that before with the Marquis, so don’t say any more.”

“Thank you very much for saying that. Thanks to you, it eased my burden.”

“So, what about the shaman?”

“He’s waiting in another room. When you get out, Lenia… the maid in front of you will guide you.”

Then, if you go later and get the spirit imprint, that’s it. There doesn’t seem to be any reason to move in a hurry, so I checked a few things I was curious about.

“But how did the shaman bring you? A beggar?”

“My father said that he asked the barbarian chief himself. There is someone who needs to imprint the spirit, so send a shaman.”

“Hmm, if I did that, they would have thought suspicious?”

“I heard that it wasn’t particularly like that. Just because they’re barbarians doesn’t mean they can all come and go freely in the Holy Land?” ”

Ah, did you mean warriors expelled from their tribe?”

That was the first possibility that came to mind.

But at my question, Eltora shook his head.

” He said he was a barbarian who was born and raised in the city.”

“…That’s right.”

I understood without hesitation.

Come to think of it, there were cases like that.

A barbarian isn’t that different from a human.

After living in a city for a long time, it’s a city. I heard that there are quite a few cases where children are raised directly without sending them to the Holy

Land

. Thank you for handling it well.”

“It’s not for us to help the Baron.” ”

Okay then, see you next time.”

All questions were cleared, so I ended the conversation and left the room. Then the servant waiting in front of me immediately turned to the shaman. “I’m not allowed to be guided from here.”

Simply

put, it means that only I can go inside. Soon

after I opened the door and went in, all the furniture was removed, and the cigarette smoke filled the empty room. Welcome me.

In the center of the room, there was a space covered by a cloth, and I could see a silhouette of a person sitting in an upright position. ‘Has it

been almost three years since I met a magician…’

As we approached slowly, I felt nervous. ”

_

_

_

_ Are you here?” Then I heard a

voice

from beyond the cloth, and I stopped walking.

”

My

own people who grew up in civilization.” The last time I saw him ,

his eyes were fine, but it wasn’t difficult to recognize who he was.

A young disciple whom I saw a few times whenever I was looking for a shaman

. ‘s heartbeat is transmitted all the way here.”

What did he say again.

‘Anyway, I didn’t expect this situation.’

Where’s the grandpa shaman and is he here?
