Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 666: New World (1)

What is your relationship with Lee Baek-ho?

It’s probably a question that GM had been holding in until now… Since there was no time to ask it so far…

It looks like he was thinking about how to bring it up…

“ Well… I’m not questioning it, I’m just curious… You two went out to talk earlier…”

“So?”

“It’s a bit surprising that that man always treats the Baron with respect…”

In fact, this must have been decisive…

Why does Lee Baek-ho, who is an ordinary man, only treat me with honorifics?

I must have been so curious about this that I went crazy…

‘He even knows how me and Lee Baek-ho met for the first time…’ Even

thinking about my first meeting with Lee Baek-ho, I still feel dizzy…

At the time, the GM and Lee Baek-ho approached me while disguised as Hans I. They collided, and at that time, I happened to witness the scene and a spark flew out…

‘At that time, I really wondered what kind of bastard this was…’

Just out of curiosity, Lee Baek-ho grabbed me in a place full of knights of the royal family and asked if I was a player. I was scared…

‘This happened a few years ago…’

I slowly opened my mouth, feeling that a lot of time had passed…

“Well? It’s not a particularly good relationship… Because when I first met him, we were enemies…”

“Hmm, you mean enemies…?”

“Yes, some strange guy suddenly fell from the sky and tried to kill me… but for some reason he suddenly disappeared before my eyes…” “…

So that’s what happened?”

After hearing my statement, the GM naturally tilted his head as if he knew nothing about it. For some reason, it seemed a bit funny, but he continued without showing it.

“The next time we met was a gnome tree…”

“Do you mean a gnome tree?” ··”

“Yes, I visited there with my colleagues for a request, and by chance we ran into that guy again… After that, various things happened… I also had a bad relationship with my colleague…” If you

tell a clumsy lie, contradictions will be discovered. Since the possibility was high, I summarized the rest and abbreviated it…

Since he probably knows the story of Missha anyway…

“Are you talking about a colleague…”

“It’s a bit hard to tell you in detail, but there were several transactions in the process and it’s been sorted out to some extent now.” It’s in a state of

affairs…” “When you say it’s sorted out…”

“It’s close to a kind of truce… They both know that if they touch each other, they’ll bleed, so they’re being careful…”

The GM looked slightly surprised at my words. ·

Should I say, ‘That Lee Baek-ho?’

I also had the feeling that I didn’t know that my power would be that much…

‘I’m disappointed…’

It’s a story that has been dramatized to some extent to make excuses, but that doesn’t mean the statement itself is a lie. I’m not

confident that I can beat Lee Baek-ho in a one-on-one fight…

On the other hand, I’m not confident that I’ll lose…

Anyway…

“Did I ask you about our relationship earlier?”

Seeing the GM shaking his head in response to my question, I summarized the relationship between me and Lee Baek-ho in one sentence more clearly than anything else.

“To me, Lee Baek-ho is…”

There was no need to lie this time. Right

now . They just don’t pull out their swords because they have something to use against each other. There

is no more confusion.

“He is the one whose head I will have to crush someday.”

Lee Baek-ho is the enemy .

***

“What I’m curious about is is this the end?”

“Yes… He is a dangerous person… I needed to recognize the relationship between him and the Baron first…”

“Is that so?”

“I am relieved to hear that you are not on the same side as him… He is a person with whom nothing good would come from being involved with him… Of course, I think the Baron knows that too…” Did he

feel the sincerity in the declaration I made at the end?

The GM had no doubts about my hostility toward Lee Baek-ho and seemed satisfied with those feelings.

‘Well, isn’t it natural to feel relieved? If I say I’m close to Baekho Lee, there won’t be a single person I can rely on…

Anyway, after the conversation with him ended like that…

When we returned to our seats, this time Baekho Lee called the GM over…

“Hey, you need to come to me for a moment.” see?”

“Are you talking about me?”

The GM shrugs his shoulders as if he has been called by a member of the school team.

He looks at me as if he wants help.

“What’s going on with my colleague?”

“Don’t worry Baron Ego, I won’t make a single scratch. I need him to fix the magic circle. Do you think I can do that?”

Well, I’m not worried about that…

It’s just that I couldn’t turn away because the GM was giving me such a look…

“…Let’s have a conversation where I can see…”

“Yes… Sure… Hey, that’s okay then, right?”

“····”

After the situation was settled like that, the GM followed the guy like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse and just started talking…

‘I’ll try to learn lip-reading later when I have time…’

Because the sound was blocked, I couldn’t understand anything. I can’t understand if they are having a conversation…

However, if you look at the atmosphere, it looks like Lee Baek-ho is getting annoyed and the GM is smiling awkwardly and making excuses…

‘If you think about it, they didn’t end well either…’

The GM said. Lee Baek-ho was expelled from the community, and because of this, Lee Baek-ho also harbored a grudge against him.

Well, I don’t know if the two have ever met separately since then, but…

‘It ended earlier than expected, huh?’

Surprisingly, the conversation between the two ended quickly and the GM came back with a somewhat dejected look on his face.

“What did we talk about?”

“There was a bad incident in the past… so I was trying to explain it… hahaha…” Tsk, I

can’t tell you…

I’ll have to ask Lee Baek-ho about this later…

“Then, let’s go to sleep now. “It’s morning, so I can’t sleep much…”

“Yes… Then, Baron, please rest as well…”

After that, everyone slept for a short while without much happening, and the next morning, they were able to activate the ‘portal’ that Lee Baek-ho had mentioned. Preparations have begun…

“Dimension monument…?”

“It looks similar, right?”

“Is there something like this hidden all over the continent?”

“Well, I don’t know if there are more? In the first place, I heard that this was also found by the mysterious old man… I haven’t seen anything other than the portal connected to this…” The

mysterious old man must have been referring to Auril Gavis…

“But it only looks similar, in the labyrinth. It’s a little different from the dimensional tombstones you see… It doesn’t just open when you touch it, but you have to put magical energy into it…”

Hmm, so that’s why it had magic waves and all that…

Originally, when several wizards shared magical energy, they usually combined it often or prepared it in advance. I

had

to

do

it

.

The magic power that was dense enough to be seen and emitting colorful colors

stirred and… Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~!

The magic power flowing in gradually condenses and takes the form of a portal that we often see.

“I will go first, so please follow us in. This portal will only last for about 5 minutes!”

As soon as the portal opened, Lee Baek-ho was the first to jump in, and Lee Baek-ho’s colleagues naturally followed suit.

“Uh…”

“What are you doing? “Without going?”

“Yes… let’s go in first…”

To prepare for an unexpected situation, I first sent the GM through the portal, and then I hurriedly went through it…

and…

flash-!

I felt a floating feeling similar to when I entered a portal in a labyrinth, and my vision was restored.

I looked around to quickly check the surrounding terrain, but then froze in a daze. An

unidentifiable spire-shaped artificial sculpture. It

was designed to make it easier for people to move around. The dirt floor is flat and evenly pressed.

Also, houses made of cut logs are built in rows like a checkerboard arrangement, and a half-collapsed wooden fence can be seen in the distance.

“Village…?”

“Oh, didn’t I tell you? This is the place where the Noark kids settled…”

It was the Noark Frontier…

***

As the GM and I were looking around in wonder, Lee Baek-ho shrugged his shoulders and came over to me and started introducing the Noark Frontier.

“The city. It can’t be compared, but doesn’t it seem worth living in? There are houses, a fence surrounding the entire village, and a number of wells have been drilled, so there is no shortage… There is a field where crops were grown outside the fence… It is not a big river, but there is a river to the east…”

Contrary to my expectations, the Noark settlement is what I thought. It was in a much better state than before.

Do you think I could have lived happily here if it were me?

Well, the problem may be the ‘monster’ mentioned before…

‘It’s a completely ghost town…’

The huge wooden fence surrounding the town is half broken, and the standing houses also show clear signs of damage…

Also, there are blood stains that have turned black here and there. It was easy to find…

“Oh and this…”

Lee Baek-ho continues, touching the dimensional tombstone where the portal has now disappeared…

“They say you can use this to open a portal to the labyrinth, but that’s just the mysterious old man. It’s possible, but other people can’t… Even my grandpa couldn’t figure out how to do it…”

“It’s not that he couldn’t figure it out… Didn’t he find out that it’s a space-time type of magic…”

“That’s what it is… What’s the excuse…”

Lee Baek-ho said it as if he was teasing the destruction scholar, but the truth is that Auril Gavis is strange… It’s the same for

opening a portal that goes straight to the 7th floor…

It’s the same for teleporting tens of thousands of people…

For some reason, that old man always rules the world by himself. It feels like they are playing with it however they want.

“But why did you come into the labyrinth like that when you worked so hard to build the village?”

“Well, don’t they have to eat too? “I heard that when you ran away, you didn’t even have enough food, so you even ate monster meat until you got here?”

“Didn’t you say there was also a field?”

“Oh, that was only made later… And when it was called a field in the first place, it was more of a demonstration piece, right? Almost no crops grew and there wasn’t enough food for all those people…” “

So you’re saying it was because they needed magic stones?”

“Well, that’s probably the biggest reason, right?”

“It sounds like there are other reasons as well?”

When I ask quietly, Baekho Lee shrugs his shoulders slyly again.

“Monsters appear here too, right? In the end, if they don’t mine the essence, it is a structure that is bound to fail someday… And… they must have been anxious that the royal family might find them…”

Well, since you definitely said that, I understand…

The Noark settlement is the ‘grey’ part of the dark continent that belongs to the 7th tier. Because it was located in a ‘plain’,

the level of monsters encountered must have been quite high…

“Of course, after that monster appeared, everything became meaningless… It came several times and devastated the village, so that stubborn castle lord “You changed your mind about just going inside the walls?”

“I see…”

“Anyway, I’ll stop asking questions here and let’s get out now!”

After finishing introducing the village, Baekho Lee led us outside the village…

and…

“… It looks completely different from the gray fields I used to know, doesn’t it?”

A field full of waist-high green bushes stretches out into the distance.

“Ah! The labyrinth definitely has a much more turn-of-the-century feel, right? Still, the monsters that appear are all similar… and the terrain itself is the same…”

“Is that so…?”

When Lee Baek-ho kindly answers what he muttered to himself, the GM seems embarrassed.

“Mr. Baek-ho, there is a monster ahead.” As soon as he leaves the village, the archer Layton Bryant spits out a warning as if something has caught

his sensor.

At the same time,

“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the same time?

The monster crouching in the bushes stands up and howls as if threatening.

“It’s Viterion. Grade 3. It is a monster belonging to the beast species. It has no weak attributes and its physical resistance is very high. If possible. It is more advantageous to use magic…”

The GM explains in a tone that is almost like reading an encyclopedia.

I think I know roughly how he felt when he was an explorer in the past.

‘It’s convenient, but I still think it would be a bit tiring to travel around together. ·’

Anyway, to add additional explanation to the GM’s explanation, ‘Viterion’ is a rare mob that is only occasionally found in the gray fields…

And…

“You’re lucky…”

He spits out the 8th level material for Immortal Engraving…
