Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Getting rid of him will most likely solve all your problems.

Isn’t there a saying that the flapping of a butterfly’s wings creates a typhoon far away? As he is a key character who appeared in Precognitive Dream, there will be a big change if he disappears.

But…

‘How do I get rid of it?’

That method is the problem.

The plan to secretly take him to a secluded place and get rid of it with his colleagues is close to impossible.

Not only would he not die so pointlessly…

[He probably wouldn’t have died. I will probably wake up in the palace.]

During my travels in the past, I saw it.

The scene where Jerome’s body, who died like a fly at the hands of Auril Gavis, is split into small particles of light and flutters.

There were also speculations about the identity of that ability.

‘Iblues.’

A Tier 2 monster that appears as a guardian of one of the rifts on the 8th floor.

And one of his active skills…

‘[Pagan Altar].’

When a skill is used, an ‘altar’ is created at the location, which was one of the few ‘resurrection periods’ in [Dungeon and Stone].

If you die, you will always be resurrected at the altar.

For reference, the ‘Altar’ can only be created once and will be destroyed if used three times.

So, to put it another way…

‘Even if I try to assassinate, if I go back to the city, I’ll just be executed as a traitor.’

In the first place, the presence or absence of this skill must have been great for the royal family to entrust Jerome St. Red as the commander of the exploration force.

Even in the worst case, it is possible to live alone and return to the city with information.

‘Ha… Why do you have that kind of skill?’

It is a situation where the word “playing games together” comes out.

Even after that, I thought about how to get rid of Jerome St. Red, but I couldn’t come up with that method easily.

Rather, I tried to get rid of him, but the attempt failed and only the scene where the precognitive dream came true was pictured in my head.

‘Really… didn’t it happen like this?’

Maybe if you just stay still, nothing happens and it goes on.

By the time even such thoughts start to bloom.

smart.

Words came from beyond the door with two knocks.

“Come out, Yandel. It’s shift time.”

Okay, let’s do some work first.

***

One day, two days, three days….

Time passed like flowing water, and the rainy season was over before we knew it.

Again, without fail, the rainbow appeared for a while and then disappeared, and the exploration team’s crystal ball for recording the scene was well preserved.

And after taking a break for about half a day for the wizards who suffered to death during the rainy season.

“I will enter the island from now on!”

After spending several days aboard the ship, we landed on the ground and began exploring in earnest.

Just as Jeju Island is called Samdado because there are many wind woman stones, there were many of them on Chonjang Island right after the rainy season.

“Find a group of monsters ahead!”

“It is a mutant object!”

monster.

And tens of thousands of magic stones scattered all over the island.

“If this scene becomes known, there will be an uproar outside.”

“Isn’t this kind of magic stone supposed to be controlled by the royal family? It means that you can get this much Magic Stone periodically every month…”

“Haha. That’s how it is from our point of view. Can a royal family have a castle like this? How much money do you make at the checkpoint?”

Indeed, even Jerome, who said he had no interest in magic stones, hardened his expression and paid attention to the overwhelming goods.

“Anyone who secretly touches it will be severely punished, so the wizards in charge of collecting it should pay close attention to management so that they don’t make any mistakes!”

I never came here to make money.

Still, the enormous amount of magic stones boosted the morale of the exploration team.

This was because it was customary for the royal family to tell them to distribute the magic stone income on their own when sending troops to the labyrinth.

“I’ll have to be more active in this mission.”

“Because the unit you receive may change. There was a magic tool I wanted to buy, but it went well.”

The crew members are happy and happy, dreaming of a happy future.

However, Jerome focused more on his mission even when he saw the magic stones on the ground. I worked hard to collect things on the way, but I followed the shortest path toward my destination…

“Is this right, Baron?”

“It is certainly.”

That’s how we arrived at the entrance to the village chief.

However, no matter how much I looked under the tree where the entrance was hidden, I could only see the blocked land.

“What is this? Did they notice our presence?”

“well. I don’t know that yet. Originally, it was only when the rainy season ended and time passed and the number of demons diminished that they came ashore and circled the island to collect magic stones.”

“Hmm, then I guess I’ll just have to wait.”

“Besides, even if they noticed our existence, they would have no choice but to come up someday. Because they use magic stones as their staple food.”

It means that unless you want to starve to death, you can’t just hide under the Yeongyeong Village.

“Form a siege around this tree!”

Afterwards, Jerome surrounded the entrance to the village and ordered an infinite stand-by. And on the other hand, a special task force was formed to collect the magic stones scattered all over the island without owners.

Here, the special task force consisted of agile explorers with fast movement speed and wizards who can quickly collect magic stones…

“Mister… do you have to stay until I come…?”

“Don’t worry. Tersia will be taken care of by me.”

Amelia and Erwen were selected from our group 4 as well.

I wanted to block it somehow, but I couldn’t overcome the commanding authority of the commander.

The justification was over there.

“It’s a different thing from taking care of the baron’s convenience. As long as you temporarily belong to our exploration force, you cannot differentiate your mission.”

Every time Erwen and Amelia went out for a special task force activity, their hearts pounded, but nothing happened until they collected all the magic stones on the island over two days.

‘Then tomorrow will be the 3rd day since the rainy season ended…’

Is it because the number of monsters is gradually decreasing?

Time encircled the trees and waited for them to appear.

The members of the expeditionary force were enjoying the peace they had experienced for the first time in a while, but to me, that time felt like the night before the storm.

“Mr. Yandel, what are you looking at so intently?”

“Can’t you see? I am standing on the alert.”

When I answered with my eyes fixed on the tree, Raven smiled.

I’m not kidding people.

“So why are you here? The seats for the wizards must be over there.”

“There is nothing to do anyway. I finished researching the materials I got from the library.”

“It’s over? Have you got anything?”

“no. Quite the opposite. I finally admitted that there was nothing to be gained from these data and ended the study.”

“…Right.”

As if it was true that he came because he was bored, Raven came next to me and chattered about things he wanted to say.

“Perhaps the greatest achievement I have found in the library is the summon book itself. or the origin of the name. The characteristics of monsters that could not be revealed by any research were clearly written, right?”

Yes, I thought you would like it the most.

“what? What about that grumpy face? What a great achievement. I don’t know, but if I go outside, the academic world will go wild!”

“…What does it have to do with me whether there is a flood in academia or something else?”

When I answered in a nonchalant tone, Raven changed the topic, perhaps sensing that I was not having fun.

“By the way… they said they were monsters called humans, right?”

“suddenly?”

“It wasn’t out of the blue, I was curious from the moment I heard about it. What kind of objects are they? Ah, I’m also curious about the village chief who claimed to be a dragon knight. Are you really yourself? If so, there are many things I want to ask. It’s hard to find records from that time anymore…”

To me, it seems like they brought up a common theme, but there was still no fun in chatting.

After all, it was always like that with him.

Does it get longer every time we talk?

“Raven…! Behind the back…!”

“…!”

“Nothing?”

“…?”

Raven, who was startled and turned his body, belatedly recognized the situation and clenched his fists with an angry expression.

What are you going to do with those tiny hands?

“…it’s annoying. Become a baron or something. Are you a child?”

“Become the vice-captain of the 3rd Magic Corps. Aren’t you too naive?”

“…I’m a fool for worrying about a human like this.”

“I’m not a human, I’m a barbarian. It’s a sensitive part for me, so I hope you pay attention—”

“ah! it’s annoying! That’s Okay. I’m just going.”

Soon, Raven whimpered back to her position, and I watched with a chuckle.

It was a pretty productive conversation.

Especially more in that the tension has become a little less and it has become more enjoyable.

From before, he had a good taste of teasing—.

“Everyone, Captain!!”

…huh?

When I turned my head in the direction from which the sound was heard, I saw Auyen running, sweating profusely.

All of a sudden, I had a lot of thoughts.

“Big deal! It’s a big deal!!”

What the hell is going on?

Did something happen?

No, but the entrance to the village is here?

Could there be another entrance or something?

As many such speculations swirled in my head, unexpected news came from the mouth of Auyen Lockrove.

“Tersia-sama! Tersia is trying to kill a wizard belonging to the exploration force! Please dry it!”

“…what?”

I quickly ran to the place where the incident occurred and I could see it there.

“Don’t stop!! will kill will kill I will kill you…!! I’m going to kill you…!”

Erwen screamed as if he had lost his temper.

And Amelia, who is holding Erwen tightly as if stopping him.

“…Huh!”

A wizard hiding behind a knight out of fear.

And a group of knights aiming at the sword as if to protect such a wizard.

“…”

I was blankly froze at the sight.

I don’t know the details, but why?

“Hair…”

Erwen had bobbed hair.

***

The whole story of the case was simple.

Half of the temporary team 4, including Erwen, were on perimeter guard duty.

In the meantime, a monster approached from an ambiguous location and fought with the first group that shared the boundary.

However, the problem here is…

“Poetry mistake! Isn’t it a mistake! As a result, no one was hurt…!”

The wizard belonging to Team 1 made a mistake in calculating the magic trajectory, and eventually the wind magic was directed to Erwen.

A blow from the allies at an unexpected timing.

Fortunately, I hurriedly ducked to avoid it, but instead, the fluttering hair was snipped off.

damn damn it

“Doesn’t it hurt…?”

“After the blood on the tongue…! Calm down! You really don’t know that this will harm the baron too!”

“Yandel! what one! If you come, hurry up and don’t stop him…!”

I hurriedly came to my senses at Amelia’s words.

Although Erwen changed his style to bobbed hair, wouldn’t there be an execution ceremony right now?

First of all, let’s calm down and think about it.

It was the car I was approaching with that thought in mind.

“Your uncle… is here…?”

Erwen, who was looking around, sees me and screams, covers his face and sits down.

“no! Don’t look at me!”

uh… Was it successful to calm down?

It was the time when I turned my head and looked elsewhere as Erwen requested.

Sasasak.

Something blue moves between the dense trees.

“uh…?”

what am i looking at?

Surely the entrance to the village is over there?

My head went blank for a moment, but my mouth was already open to spit out what I needed to say right now.

“It’s a surprise!!!”

They came out of town.
