Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 160



Episode 160: Negotiation (2)

There is a strange silence.

If you suddenly start yelling I think it would be rude to at least ask why…

Uncle Yong just kept his mouth shut and held on to her weight since I let out a shout.

‘That person should feel embarrassed.’

The silence was starting to feel uncomfortable.

“…Why did you suddenly scream?”

The brown-haired dragon man asks erasing her dragon fear. It’s hard to read emotions because they have reptilian eyes but it seems to be pure curiosity.

Yes you were curious too.

I gave the answer without hesitation.

“I just felt like doing it. “Why is there a problem?”

Barbarian’s unique cheat key that can be added to all actions when you don’t feel like explaining in detail.

Uncle Yong seemed to be lost in thought for a moment and then she laughed.

“No there is no problem. As I heard barbarians are a very interesting race.”

A deep dignified voice.

Soon he waved his hand in the air.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

A gust of wind blows and the fog dissipates.

The sight beyond was quite different from what I expected.

That’s because there was no one there.

I thought the Yongin tribe was bustling because their eyes were shiny.

When I looked at him asking for an explanation he looked away as if embarrassed.

“I will tell you in advance. “I was against this childish behavior.”

“Are you saying the opposite?”

“Ah does that mean that negotiation is easier if you lose your temper at the first meeting?”

To put it simply the eye light was all an illusion.

In fact if you had thought about it calmly you could have noticed it in advance. The thing I asked Krovitz the most about was ‘maintaining confidentiality’…

Because the Yongin tribe is a race with an extremely small population.

Common sense tells us that there is no way dozens of people can gather in one place just to single out me.

“Anyway I feel sorry for you. Tsk what are you doing just because it’s a waste of money? “I told you that you shouldn’t forget your duty and behave like that to your benefactor.”

The voice was still deep but the way he spoke and the atmosphere he gave became lighter than before.

Was it just acting earlier and this is what you see?

I think we’ll be able to communicate quite well if it’s done this way.

Still let’s not let down our guard. Even this appearance could be acting.

“Let’s check first. I am Bjorn son of Yandel. Are you the chief of the dragon people?”

“He’s the chief… If you put it that way that’s right. “It hasn’t been long since I took over.”

“Not long ago?”

I tilted my head without realizing it.

I heard that it was more than 30 years ago that the Dragon Slayer was cursed after killing the Ancient Dragon…

“Isn’t time the responsibility of those who accept it?”

Ah there was a setting that the Yongin tribe had a long lifespan.

In fact it wasn’t meaningful information in the game so I forgot about it for a while.

Anyway it’s not important so let’s get to the point.

“Chief.”

“Please feel free to call me Pyrcea Raidormus.”

Is it possible to call it that comfortably?

As I was thinking about how to react Mr. Yong chuckled and revealed his pseudonym.

“It was a joke. Just call me ‘Rapir’. “It’s my second name publicly.”

For reference the second name is a culture unique to Yongin people.

Because my true name was so long I needed a second name for convenience when living in the city.

‘Regal Vagos’ is probably a much longer real name.

‘Hehe I’m glad though.’

I breathed a silent sigh of relief.

First of all isn’t it a public place?

If I had asked everyone to call me by their long real name it would have been very annoying.

“Lapir. “If it’s too long for you call it Yandel or Bjorn whichever is easier to pronounce.”

“I like the sound of Yandel better.”

Anyway now the statement is over.

As I was about to open my mouth to say something Uncle Yong spoke first.

“Before we start talking can I take a look at the dragon sword first? “I heard the whole story through the Leatlas Church but I still don’t quite believe it.”

For some reason I smiled bitterly as soon as I heard it.

Although it was said a little softly the content was actually very explicit.

‘I can’t believe it to your face….’

Well it’s not that I can’t understand how you feel.

Isn’t he a member of Orculis and a major criminal with a bounty worth hundreds of millions of stones? As an explorer on the 4th floor it must have been difficult to understand the explanation that I beat him up and took his sword.

Phew!

There was no reason to explain in detail so I took out the dragon slayer sword from my backpack and slammed it on the floor.

‘Oh it stings.’

I only held it for about 3 seconds but the skin has already peeled off.

Soon Uncle Yong came down from the throne pulled out his sword and held it.

And he muttered softly.

“It was true.”

In that single word complex emotions were conveyed through my skin.

Should I say that it looks quite solemn and lonely?

If you think about the story behind this sword your appreciation will be special.

Mr. Yong who had been standing still holding his sword for a while put it back and asked a question.

“…How was that guy? Didn’t he meet that guy most recently? “I’d like to hear more details.”

I summarized what happened that day leaving out only the parts that could be disadvantageous.

“I see. That guy ended up like that… Thank you for telling me. As you requested I will keep the story about the return of the dragon sword a secret.”

“Were you close with him?”

Mr. Yong smiled bitterly at my question.

“That guy… is my younger brother.”

“what?”

“So… I couldn’t stop it with my own strength.”

I wanted to talk more and get more information about the dragon slayer but Mr. Dragon changed the topic as it was not a topic he wanted to mention.

“Now that I think about it I haven’t said this yet. Bjorn son of Yandel. Thank you for returning this sword. Regardless of the compensation you ask for we will consider you a benefactor.”

I could tell from the look in his eyes that he wasn’t just saying empty words.

Well it’s confusing because it’s a reptile-specific eye but anyway.

It’s quite an embarrassing situation for me who made this decision with only compensation in mind…

‘There’s no need to refuse if they offer to treat you like a benefactor.’

Well I’ll ask you later about the specific benefits of being treated as a benefactor.

I focused on the current story.

“So what do you wish for?”

In fact this is the core of this meeting.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this.

What do you ask for when you return the dragon sword which is a weapon made of level 6 materials and has a similar meaning to a holy relic to the dragons?

“What can I give you?”

First of all I asked.

I thought there might be a suggestion that might change my mind. Mr. Yong also opened his mouth without hesitation wondering how many preparations he had made.

“The first thing is wealth.”

money.

It wasn’t bad.

Because it was one of the three candidates that remained until the final decision was made in the first place.

Considering that all level 5 weapons start at hundreds of millions the reward will most likely be enough to cover one’s entire body with high-level equipment.

but….

“I don’t need money.”

In response Mr. Yong made a strange expression.

It seems he didn’t expect to refuse this offer.

“Hmm maybe it’s because you don’t know how much it is—”

“Again what I want is not money.”

It doesn’t matter what the amount is.

It won’t be more expensive than the Dragon Sword anyway.

It’s better to get something else.

Perhaps sensing my will Mr. Yong said nothing more and brought out the next compensation plan.

“The second is a colleague.”

“colleague?”

“I heard from Lord Krovitz that you are forming a new team.”

“Just the main point.”

“I’ll give you one of my clan members for two years.”

It was truly an unexpected reward.

Are you giving me a companion as a reward?

I think they are a race that knows their own value very well.

‘It’s definitely appealing.’

As you can see just by looking at the battle with the dragon slayer.

Yongeon makes possible what no wizard or priest can do.

In addition as dragons their basic stats are high making them suitable for close combat and some special types can use magic that only humans can use.

But this time too my answer remained the same.

“All my colleagues have already been saved.”

As expected I am reluctant to accept compensation for a colleague who will leave after two years. Because what I ultimately want is a united team.

“You’re such a pretty girl.”

Well so what?

As I stared at him with that feeling Mr. Yong humbly cleared his throat and opened his mouth again.

“…Then this is the final offer.”

“Tell me.”

“I will give you the Arcje armor that will be born next year.”

Okay this is the last one.

It was exactly what I expected.

The relationship between the two is so close that Accra is a dragon when it comes to metal.

Only Yongin can handle Arc.

‘He set it up so that he could make one every year through a ritual.’

In that sense this compensation was actually the most reasonable. Give an Arc-made long sword that you can’t use and get an Arc-made weapon that you can use.

It is a business in which no one loses money.

but….

‘If that were the case I would have just received it in money.’

This time too my answer was the same.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea either.”

Uncle Yong must have kept his mouth shut perhaps not knowing that this offer would also be rejected. I feel like I have no idea what to suggest now…

Therefore I decided to speak first.

“That’s okay just give me a tattoo.”

A word I blurted out as if it was no big deal.

“tattoo?”

Mr. Yong’s eyes widened horizontally as he tilted his head.

It seems he realized what he meant belatedly.

“Are you sure you’re talking about the dragon’s blessing?”

Yeah that one.

When I nodded at her Uncle Yong’s eyes changed in an instant.

“Yandel where on earth did you hear that?”

Huh it’s real from now on.

***

Dragon’s Blessing.

Along with Yongeon it is the very thing that elevates the Yongin people to the rank of scammers.

“The elders were right. “You guys are too greedy.”

Uncle Yong wiped the smile off his face.

And the dragon fear that had been deactivated earlier was unleashed again.

“I should have done this a long time ago.”

The air was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.

Is this really a serious mode?

Perhaps it was true that he was against childish behavior but the intensity was different from before.

but….

‘It’s not to the point where I can’t bear it.’

This time it’s the same as before.

It’s so scary that it makes you shiver?

So what?

As long as the ancestor spirit is with him the barbarian will not lose in a battle of battle.

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!!!”

As she let out a shout raised from her danjeon and relaxed her stiff neck Uncle Yong opened her mouth in a daze.

“What…”

“Is there something wrong?”

“…Are all barbarians like you?”

Dragon Fear has been taken away before you know it.

Yes I used serious mode but it wasn’t really because I was annoyed.

“Whoa….”

Uncle Yong relaxed his stern expression and sighed.

“I will also give you a lot of compensation for the Ark-made weapons. “How about that?”

The carrot was handed a new carrot as if he thought it was not an opponent for which the whip would work.

For your information I hate carrots.

“I refuse!”

“No it’s because you don’t know but this is German tax for you too. “If your people find out they will be treated as traitors.”

I already received an oracle so what?

“So calm your excitement—”

“Lapir! Aren’t you a descendant of dragons? Don’t be petty and just do it! You say you’re a benefactor but you can’t do this? “This is truly shameful!”

Ignorant ‘Do it!’ at the negotiation table. Mr. Yong just looked at me blankly probably because it was his first time being attacked by such a tactic.

I aimed for that timing and pierced the Achilles heel.

“Said the Star Goddess. Regal Vagos and I will meet again. “There is a strong bad relationship going on.”

“…is she a star goddess? “Is that true?”

“I have to become stronger. “I don’t want you to lose another friend to your brother.”

Even though I thought it was a really mean thing to say what can I do?

In negotiation the person who can use dirty cards without hesitation wins.

If you think about it in the first place I didn’t say anything wrong.

“Raphir you said earlier that you couldn’t stop your brother with your own strength right? Invest in me. “I will do for you what you could not do.”

I stopped fussing after that line.

Uncle Yong went into thinking mode again and the time was quite long.

“…Maybe this is my karma too.”

The words she vomited out as if she was lamenting.

“Does this mean you will do it?”

“…First we have to check with the temple to see if the oracle is true. Then I call you again. “I can’t make this decision on my own.”

If that’s the case.

“How long do you think it will take?”

“I don’t know. A month? Two months? “I will give you an answer as soon as possible.”

“Until then I’ll keep this.”

“I know.”

A much cooler acceptance than expected.

Soon I pulled out the dragon slayer sword and put it back in my backpack. And after asking a few questions about how we could contact them again in the future we concluded today’s negotiations.

“It’s a message stone. When I send you a message tear up the paper I gave you. Then I will know where you are.”

“Sure.”

Soon Mr. Yong sent me back to the inn room again using a space movement type idiom.

‘…As expected all verbs are fraudulent.’

With those thoughts in mind I took off my gear and lay down on the bed to rest for a while.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

It meant a visit from a stranger.

If it were Misha he would have just opened the door but if it was Ainar there would have been a ‘bang bang’ sound instead of a ‘knock knock knock’ sound.

“nice to meet you.”

As soon as I opened the door I saw a familiar female face.

“Julian Urbans?”

Commonly known as the regional head’s daughter.

A true pervert who wants her father’s downfall for her own free life.

“So have you changed your mind?”

“What do you mean?”

“I checked and found out that the team was disbanded. The wizard also died. “Didn’t he Rotmiller do something?”

Ah that’s why I came back again without getting tired.

It certainly may look that way from the outside.

“It’s not that wizard it’s Liol Wobb Dwalki. And it is true that your father played a trick but Rotmiller did not fall for it.”

First of all I just got the facts straight.

However after doing so I realized that this problem also needs to be resolved.

Even if he tries his trick again I don’t think Mr. Bear or Raven will fall for it…

If you leave it like this it will turn into a more troublesome problem.

‘Now that I’ve remembered it I guess I’ll just do it right away.’

“Where is your father now?”

“Oh I don’t know. “Aren’t you probably at the main office in District 7 at this time?”

After receiving only the necessary information from Lady Urban I issued an order to banish the guests.

“You go back now. And don’t come back again. “I don’t want to get involved in your family’s circumstances.”

“yes? What does that mean…”

“Literally.”

When he first came to see me I thought he just harbored ill feelings towards me because of the prison escape.

But when I thought about it the timing was unfortunate.

This must have been the reason why the regional head suddenly became hostile towards me for the first time in a few months.

“I told you then too. “We have the same interests?”

“Okay get out.”

After forcing Lady Urbane out I put back on the equipment I had taken off.

Sigh.

As I opened the door I saw Lady Urban standing in front of me.

“Are you going to see your father?”

“okay. “We will meet and discuss.”

“But why the weapon…”

I tilted my head.

Why did you leave your weapon behind when you went to argue?
