Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 50 Companion (4)

Skill is very important when rescuing companions.

But there are virtues that are just as important.

trust.

That is, is he trustworthy?

Of course, when things go smoothly, this doesn’t matter too much. We just have to laugh together hahahoho and be happy.

But what if it doesn’t?

When the worst situation arrives, it is a completely different matter whether you can trust and entrust your back even in such a moment.

‘Maybe it’s a matter of nature, not trust.’

This is a part that cannot be known by looking at the application form several times and meeting and talking several times.

Human nature is supposed to be hidden deep inside.

If possible, I hope there is nothing to show that nature to each other.

Because it will be good for each other.

“I can’t get used to the smell of this place anytime I come! Ha ha ha! Dwalki, are you okay?”

“…please don’t talk to me waeg!”

Averting her gaze from the retching Dwalkie, she glanced around.

The current place where I am is the 2nd floor area where you can enter through the portal in the eastern area of the 1st floor where the razor wolves live.

beast’s lair.

As you can see from the name, beast-type monsters usually appear.

And maybe that’s why it smells so bad.

A lot of it too.

“Rotmiller, are you okay? I heard you have the essence of the sense of smell.”

“Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine. It’s not like they come once or twice.”

“Right.”

Is this the middle of the 8th year?

For some reason, just looking at this man makes me feel better.

I’ll have to see him a bit more. “By the way

,

when will our wizard come to his senses?

Shows no empathy for the suffering of colleagues and only cares about their own interests.

I was about to add a line to the character evaluation in my head, but I hesitated.

Um, is this the same for me?

“Wake up Dwalkie. How long are you going to take our time?”

“That’s right. You can’t work as an explorer if you only do this with something like this. A wizard! Become an adult!”

When I said a word, Misha, who was next to me, immediately agreed with a giggle.

However, even after hearing this, Dwalkie only showed an unexpected reaction.

“That’s right. Now I should be an adult too.”

What was he like?

To be honest, I thought I would make excuses that didn’t make sense. Or, on the contrary, get angry.

“Let’s go.”

“Hey, but are you okay?”

“Of course it’s hard. But just because it’s your first time and you’re a wizard… How pathetic would that be if you became a burden to your colleagues?”

“I didn’t say Jim Jim…….”

While Misha was taken aback by the unexpected apology.

Dwalki, who struggled to get up from his seat with an emaciated face, murmured with a solemn face.

“I can’t tarnish the honor of Baroness Martoang.”

“…Hey! You’re pretending to be an aristocrat again!! I won’t be fooled anymore!”

“Hahaha! Let’s go. I’m really fine now!”

Looking at him cheerful as if he had never done that, Mischa burst into anger with a face that said he had been beaten again. And with that, we slowly started moving.

“Everyone, please follow me carefully from here. Even though it looks flat, the terrain has many pits.”

“The pit? I can’t see it with my eyes…”

“It’s usually full of filth, so it’s hard to tell. It’s easy to fall into it if you don’t know it well.”

“…Rotmiller I’ll trust you.”

The beast’s den can be described as a canyon terrain.

There are towering cliffs on both sides of the narrow road, and explorers passing through this place have to find their way through the maze-like gaps in the cliffs.

‘There are no traps, but the role of a searcher is more important than that of the Goblin Forest.’

For reference, the monsters that appear are the Razor Wolf, Wall Mole, Saber Tiger, Werewolf, Vulkar, and most of them live in caves on cliffs.

It is common for explorers whose main purpose is hunting to enter a cave and engage in battles such as clearing out groups of monsters.

But our goal is to go to the 3rd floor, so pass.

「You have killed the Giant Blade Wolf. EXP+1”

“The saber tiger has been defeated. EXP +2”

“Werewolf has been defeated. EXP +2”

“You have defeated the wall mole. EXP +1」

Since he was moving quickly while occasionally catching monsters hanging around outside the cave, it was time to take a break.

The time is 3 hours left until the start of the second day car.

[20:58]

I invested the entire day today only in moving.

However, it would have taken twice as long to get here if it had not been for Rotmiller, the seeker.

“The entrance will be narrow, so this would be a good place to camp.”

After arranging the wall mole’s lair, we started preparing for camping based on it.

The dwarf Rotmiller Misha.

There were three explorers with years of experience, so preparations for camping were instantaneous.

The wizard, who had no presence other than making drinking water, also shined at this time.

“Since there is an alarm magic, it seems that one person will be enough to watch.”

“Why do you need a vigil?”

“It’s not because I don’t trust you, Dwalki, so don’t think strangely. As you know, monsters aren’t the only things to be wary of in a labyrinth.”

To be a proper explorer, you need to be wary of the same explorer as more than a monster.

“The first time, Rottmiller, who worked hard today, will take care of it, and from then on, it will be done in turn.”

“Wait a minute, do I not have to stand?”

“Leave this to us and let you get some rest.”

Wizards were excluded from the vigil order.

It’s not that I was particularly considerate of my weak stamina, this is the norm.

Befitting explorers who are sensitive to non-work, it is acknowledged that they have done one serving only with the alarm magic.

‘Well, in reality, it’s probably just a custom that came naturally to the wizard.’

Anyway, it was unbelievably comfortable for each person to stay awake for 2 hours in shifts.

Can you sleep 6 hours a day?

Compared to the time we went together, it was almost like heaven.

Of course, there is a downside that the number of shares to share increases as much as it is convenient, but that’s because you can catch more monsters that are stronger with a group of people.

“I’m the great wizard Liole…”

“Stop talking in your sleep and wake up, wizard!”

“…is it morning already?”

“I don’t know if it’s morning, but I’m sure it’s time to get up.”

Day 2 at 5 am.

The first night, which I was worried about in my heart, passed without incident.

A monster was detected by the alarm magic, and a group of explorers approached the camp during the fourth dwarf’s turn, so they all woke up together once… but

this is a normal thing.

“Dwalkie will have adapted, so I’ll speed up a bit more from now on.”

“Hmm, there’s no need to be in too much of a hurry, isn’t it?”

“It’s convenient to camp if you arrive on the 3rd floor as early as possible.”

From the 2nd day, I minimized small talk and focused only on movement. Of course, every few minutes, monsters blocked the road and interfered, but it

was an illusion for me.

“You have defeated the Half Moon Rock Bear. EXP+1”

“You have defeated the Wall Mole Queen. EXP+1」

「You have defeated the Bloody Blade Wolf. EXP+1」

Then, have you caught all the level 9 monsters in the beast’s den?

Maybe it’s because it’s the first class you’ve been to, so your experience points build up pretty quickly. Of course, there is no separate experience bar.

‘If I count the monsters I’ve caught so far…’

That’s just 40.

If the bonus to kill the top variants and the bonus to kill the guardian were properly received, it would be 44 days.

‘There’s still a long way to go to level 4.’

As the level rises, the required cumulative experience increases exponentially.

1st level is 6, 3rd level is 30, 3rd level is 150.

Of course, it does not continue to increase by 5 times, but it is safe to say that the perceived difficulty is more than that.

As for monsters, even if you go up one level, it only increases by +1, but if there are no monsters that can be hunted, even supply and demand become impossible.

‘…Well, it’s not like I’m in a hurry to level up right now.’

My current level is 3.

I can absorb up to 3 essences.

That means there is still one more space left.

Of course, I don’t expect the essence to come out before I hit the 4th level.

[Dungeon and Stone] is not such a good game. ‘Why do I have to

play

this game…?’

At that time, I must have been a genuine pervert who felt joy as the level of difficulty increased.

“Suddenly be nervous. From here, only high-ranking species appear, and the number of objects increases dramatically.”

It was when I moved for about half a day following Rotmiller’s backside.

Terrain To be precise, the color of the cliff has changed.

from reddish brown to black.

‘Is it like entering the second half?’

From here on, no level 9 monsters will appear.

However, no one, including me, was very nervous or nervous.

“It’s not even an 8th grade class, even if it’s a high-ranking species on the 2nd floor!”

The average rating of our team is 7 stars.

These are the people who were active on at least the 3rd floor who were on any team before.

Well, I’m a first-timer.

Exception because I’ve been messing around in the game.

“Come to think of it, did Bjorn say he hasn’t been to the third floor yet?”

“Is that so?”

I thought I was trying to get into a fight, so I replied in a crooked tone, but Misha was really genuinely admiring it.

“Awesome. It took me a year to get to the third floor!”

feel sorry for the people

“…I just got lucky.”

It’s not a topic I want to talk about for a long time, so I was evasive about it briefly, and the dwarf joined the conversation.

“One year to the third floor? Then how long did it take to reach the fourth floor?”

“Um, two years? I guess that’s how long it took.”

“It’s like me.”

“Is it! Suddenly a bit unfortunate! The team leader is less annually than me, but grade 6!”

“Instead, Miss Karlstein was born into a good family!”

“Hey! I should have told you not to talk about the family!”

As the conversation dragged on and there were signs of another quarrel, Rotmiller, who was looking for a way, intervened and stopped the two.

“Both of you, stop.”

His voice, manner of speaking, and expression were the same as before.

But why does it feel more irritating than before?

‘Well, I’m working hard alone, but if I’m doing that behind me, I’ll be hotter than I am, right?’

I was so inadvertently passed on.

***

「You have entered the Pilgrim’s Path on the 3rd floor.」

***

A little after noon on the 2nd day.

After receiving accurate directions from Rotmiller, we entered the third floor.

It’s a bit unfortunate that I couldn’t catch a few level 8 monsters that can be hunted in the beast’s lair, but…

they don’t always come from the 2nd floor.

‘An opportunity to seize it will come again someday.’

Shaking off the remaining regrets, I focused on the current situation.

“Rotmiller! Get out of the way!”

The place where I am right now is on the 3rd floor, ‘Pilgrim’s Road’.

Among them, I came to the “Steel Rock Hill”, the starting point when taking the beast’s lair route.

And at the same time as they arrived, they encountered two level 7 monsters.

“Dwalky! Use corrosion magic!”

Entity name ‘Iantro’.

It’s easy to see it as a wild boar with steel tusks.

It’s about 5 times the size of Jirisan wild boar.

” While

Rotmiller, who entered the portal first, stepped back to avoid the monsters,

Dwalki immediately cast a spell,

and immediately after that, the dwarf and I dashed forward and took charge of each monster one by one with shields.

Quaang-!

The heavy shock transmitted from the front.

If it was an old shield, it would have been crushed here and there the moment it blocked the charge.

Like that dwarf’s shield over there.

“Hikurod Murad cast [Emergency Restoration].”

“Why is Bjorn looking at me all of a sudden? ”

“I’m not envious.”

Really.

If you use a solid shield in the first place, you don’t have to bother fixing it every time, right?

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Anyway, Bjorn! Don’t think about pushing them away, just block them from going back!” “Even if you don’t say anything

, you know!”

Iantro’s active skill is ‘Balance Weight’.

It has the effect of knockback immunity.

It’s also the essence that the dwarf ate.

Lord Murad cast [Balancer].”

Do you have a conscience or not?

A wild boar that has this skill while charging even your main weapon, or a dwarf who screams not to be pushed back by such a guy.

The anger inherent in the body of a barbarian Is

that why?

“Behel—Laaaaaa!”

Instead of waiting for the other team members to attack, I swung my mace and struck Aiantro’s mouth.

Kakak !

“Jeongsoo, with me!” Without permission

,

Misha stepped on my back and jumped high, and slammed a dagger into the head of Aiantro.

“Iantro was defeated. EXP+3.”

I caught one.

Then I tried to finish the other guy, but I stopped moving and watched for a while.

Dwalki was casting magic.

One of the few attack spells he had.

“Leol Warb Dwalki casts an 8th grade attack spell [Ice Lance]. I cast it.”

The ice skewer flew off and lodged itself in Aiantro’s abdomen.

If I had aimed at the head or heart, I think I would have caught it in one shot, but…

I’ll leave the detailed feedback later.

The fight ended with Rotmiller approaching Aiantro, who collapsed and struggled, placing a crossbow on his forehead and firing an arrow. Of course, the

essence

didn’t come out.

Well, that’s not what’s important right now.

“The monster right in front of the portal There was…’

It looks like there’s an asshole nearby.
