Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 172



Episode 172: Burning (4)

Ssaaaa-!

An orb of fire that emits light after registering as a user.

However no matter what I did after that there was no response.

Accordingly Raven who had been fiddling around also raised the white flag.

“This… I think I should go back to the city and entrust the request to a special appraiser.”

“Are you taking this?”

“yes? “What do you mean?”

No that’s…

I told him honestly that it had come to this.

“Actually I thought you could say that you should take that book. “You said it was a book of great historical value or something like that.”

“Well it’s definitely not like I’m not greedy for books.”

Rather than getting angry Raven easily agrees.

“But the person who wrote the diary also said that right? Please take this and use it. It’s definitely something more valuable than a diary. Moreover I have already memorized the contents of the diary in my head. “I also left a video record just in case.”

“Uh… I see?”

“yes. So don’t worry about that part.”

Soon Raven used ‘distortion’ magic on the fire orb.

This means that even if the belongings are discovered they cannot be redeemed.

‘It would be much more natural to use this after returning to the city.’

I think that would be better too.

I didn’t know anything.

So this is completely an accident.

Although my conscience is pricked a little…

‘It’s not something I originally bought for myself.’

The Fire Orb is an item for the entire team.

Therefore everyone can enjoy the benefits together.

Yes until you leave our team.

“…It doesn’t seem like there’s anything special about it.”

Afterwards I searched every nook and cranny of the house for about 30 more minutes but there was no significant result.

I thought there might be some elements that didn’t appear in the game like the diary.

“Now then what shall we do?”

“What kind of obvious statement are you making? “We have to keep hunting.”

“…I knew that would happen.”

As explorers who are obsessed with money we spent the remaining time hunting monsters.

And how long has it been?

“The character moves to Lapdonia.”

The time for return has come.

***

Seeing sunlight for the first time in a month.

After enjoying the warmth for a while as if photosynthesizing I moved on.

A checkpoint for intermediate explorers of level 6 or higher.

After waiting for a while everyone gathered together except Mr. Bear.

“Why isn’t Uragburak coming?”

Well do you really need to ask that?

Since I was just hunting I didn’t have the energy to answer.

After waiting for a while Mr. Bear arrived.

Next to her was an unknown explorer.

“Here.”

“Oh thank you. Thanks to you it was easy to find.”

“Hehe thanks to you I’m having all these strange experiences.”

The explorer coolly heads to where his team is with that admiration that is not admiration.

Mr. Bear smiled awkwardly and came between us.

“Haha the line is quite long isn’t it?”

Of course I was late because of you.

I sighed just looking at it but she didn’t say anything.

First of all am I not the leader of this team?

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

We must try to embrace our shortcomings.

I also developed some immunity in Team Banpuni.

‘Because he’s a guy who makes me laugh when it comes to fighting.’

Anyway as we were all waiting in line Misha started chatting with Mr. Bear.

“I feel like I’ve really achieved success because we’re all doing this together.”

“Hehe that could be possible. “Team grades are recognized starting from grade 6 or higher.”

Join our discord and ping me to update more chapters. Discord: https://discord.gg/93rmBjgP6B

“Yes yes. Should I say that I really feel like a proper explorer now? “This is so strange….”

Actually that was what I was feeling too.

In the past you had to meet outside through checkpoints appropriate for each grade.

Anyway as it was only for level 6 the line disappeared quickly.

Although the number of people passing through this road is much lower than that of the level 9 checkpoint the number of people in charge is more than twice that.

Even the checkpoint is in the form of a room so privacy is maintained.

“Team Apple Narak… right?”

The administrative staff checks our team registration card and manages our facial expressions.

After going through some simple administrative procedures we handed over the bundle of gemstones we had collected.

About seven or so.

Everything is heavy.

“…!”

The employee’s eyes widened as he opened the entire bag and saw that it was full of magic stones.

Of course that time was short.

Suddenly thinly curved meaningful eyes.

For some reason it reminds me of the past day when I was taken to the guild prison and I feel like I’m going to get PTSD…

It was handled by the conversationist Raven Sun.

“These are all magic stones obtained by legitimately killing monsters. There is also a video record to prove this. “If you confirm it you will have to give us appropriate compensation for disclosing our performance.”

“I don’t think there will be a need for that.”

“Then can you hurry up and exchange some money?”

His tone became harsher than usual perhaps because he was tired or because the employee looked at him with disapproval.

Did you feel something cheap?

The staff moved quickly and completed the currency exchange quickly.

“It’s 25.19 million stones.”

In fact it is an amount that can only be found in the size of a clan.

If divided between five people it is a whopping 5 million stones.

If you earn like this every month your annual salary will be a whopping 60 million stone!

‘As expected it’s like a burning zone.’

Even if you kill dozens of monsters per battle it would have been impossible to earn this much without the Magic Stone Double event.

“her….”

A sound of wind coming out of my mouth.

It was such a strange feeling.

It seems like just yesterday that I exchanged 180000 stones when I first entered the company and was looked up to by my classmates.

“Then how many pieces of cotton candy are there?”

“Uh… Even if I eat 10 every day I won’t ever run out of food for the rest of my life right?”

This is very encouraging in that it is not a looter’s equipment or anything like that but pure magic stone income.

Well it might be difficult to make money like this every time.

‘Because I found it very early this time.’

I discovered black moss earlier than expected.

Moreover without having to wait long Mila Roden appeared.

Moreover even the distortion magic was successful in one go.

It would be difficult to expect things to go as well in the next expedition.

“…Are you going to settle the bill tomorrow?”

As soon as we left the checkpoint Raven asked.

The look in his eyes showed that he had already decided on the answer.

“Let’s just say we do it the day after tomorrow.”

I didn’t plan on doing it today anyway.

Not only did he hunt with limited sleep but on the last day he stayed up until 12 o’clock.

Considering that my camping routine is between 9 and 10 p.m. I’ve already exceeded my bedtime.

“The day after tomorrow?”

“Yes we also need to sell equipment and by-products.”

“Oh that… Could it be possible for Mr. Yandel to sell it for me? “I really really don’t think I can wake up tomorrow.”

“You said you can leave this part to me since I have an appraiser’s license?”

Raven pursed his lips.

I guess I never dreamed that the words I boasted about before would come back like a boomerang…

“I don’t know if it’s just equipment but isn’t there some magic material involved? “This is something only you a wizard can do.”

“…Then Mr. Yandel let’s go together. Even a barbarian can carry luggage right?”

The porter is a mess.

It was an absurd remark on the topic of carrying around a subspace ring but…

I just said I would do it.

Because I was secretly curious about the wizard’s sales route.

“Then we’ll see what happens then.”

After simply setting an appointment time we each split up and headed to our accommodations.

“Ha-am I’ll go first.”

Raven goes to the Magic Tower where his personal laboratory is located.

“Can you find Abman properly?”

“Don’t worry. “I know the way home from the checkpoint well.”

“Well are you still going home?”

Mr. Bear goes to the tavern where his wife is waiting.

“Now let’s go too.”

“Missha can’t I eat something before that? “You’re so hungry…”

“Let’s wash first and then eat together.”

“Ugh I’ll see if I can endure it.”

We go to the nest where we stay.

***

1pm the next day.

While Misha and Einar stayed up late at the dorm I prepared to go out.

Because I had to go sell loot with Raven.

[Oh then leave my equipment at the repair shop.]

[…Can I ask you a favor too?]

For reference I also brought two people’s equipment in my backpack.

I was a little disappointed that no one wanted to follow me but…

Yes because he is the team leader.

I guess it’s right to suffer this much for the team.

“You’re one minute late.”

“Should I pay a late fee?”

“Do I look like a beggar?”

Why is he so picky again?

‘Oh it’s because I can’t sleep any more.’

I decided to understand it with broad generosity.

He is not the team leader and was taken out simply because he was a wizard so he was bound to be dissatisfied.

‘Do you like sweets? ‘I’ll have to try feeding one later.’

Remembering the management skills I learned from her ex-girlfriend we boarded the carriage heading to Commelby.

There was no conversation during the trip.

We both fainted and fell asleep.

“Ha-am I slept well….”

When I woke up the carriage had arrived.

Since we didn’t meet early in the morning we moved a bit hastily.

Ah first put something sweet in your mouth.

“Umm I don’t like sweets….”

“Are you going to focus on your eyes first?”

“Oh my pride is hurt.”

Anyway today’s schedule was simple.

Sell ​​Mila Roden’s by-products to magic shops.

Stop by the blacksmith shop to repair the weapon and finish off the Masked Man’s equipment.

Expansion backpack and Ifrit essence are registered on the exchange.

And while he was stopping by the exchange a special appraiser was called in and even the Orb of Fire was appraised.

“This… you have obtained something valuable. “I heard that even among the large clans there are very few of them.”

“So what is this?

“It is an orb of fire. “It is a magic tool that consumes soul power when activated but reduces fire damage within a 15m radius.”

“What are the activation conditions?”

“There is a starter word. “I’ll write it down here so you don’t forget it.”

For reference the special appraisal cost is a whopping 300000 stones.

As soon as I heard it my stomach started to hurt.

Really these guys just sit around and collect money.

“So what is the appraised value?”

“Oh I didn’t tell you that. “The Fire Orb can only be used by those who first acquired it.”

“yes? “What?”

Raven’s gaze shifted to me.

But what should I do now?

It was an accident. It was an accident.

“Whoa….”

A sigh that seems to contain many emotions.

I finished my business and was about to leave when the appraiser made a suggestion.

“Oh can you tell me where to get it?”

“no. “I have no intention of sharing our achievements.”

“If you change your mind please come see me. Even in the clan that obtained the Fire Orb everyone kept their mouths shut. “I will pay a reasonable price.”

“Yes I will.”

Soon we left the exchange and the day’s schedule was over.

Perhaps because we followed a systematic route there was quite a bit of time left until the last train ran out.

We had a quick meal near the platform.

“Raven I’ll tell you in advance I didn’t know about this.”

“Who says what? “You think I’m going to tell you to compensate me with money?”

Oh no…?

Of course I thought that would come out.

“It’s okay. The appraiser also said this earlier right? “It is a magic tool that is used as a public asset rather than a personal item.”

“Yes I will only use it for the team.”

The problem I was worried about was easily resolved.

Therefore I also ate comfortably and asked what I was curious about.

“But why did you reject that offer earlier?”

“Do you want me to tell you where to get it?”

“Yeah just from what you say it looks like you’ll be generously taking care of it.”

“It’s ample. If you tell us how many times more will you benefit from this than the money you gave us? “I can’t accept that either.”

Well I guess it’s the same everywhere where distributors suck…

“More than anything if the source of the book is revealed the number of people who know about the book will increase right? That’s not possible. “I will dig deep later and turn academia upside down.”

Now I see there was a real reason.

What kind of reputation is that guy?

It’s a motivation that is difficult to empathize with but each person’s pursuit is bound to be different.

“Anyway please take good care of me in the future.”

“suddenly?”

“For some reason it seems like an ancient secret related to witches is hidden in the labyrinth. “I decided to look for it.”

“Umm so…?”

“So what are you doing? I’m going to keep trying to be an explorer. “Next to Mr. Yandel.”

No I don’t know why they put so much emphasis on my side…

As I stared Raven grinned.

“I felt it during the Blood Citadel but Mr. Yandel was born this way. Should I say that I have a feeling that I will often experience unusual things like this in the future?”

They say that if you’re next to me you’ll often experience strange things…

I ended up laughing without realizing it.

“You can believe it. “A wizard’s intuition works better than you might think.”

The performance is solid.

That’s the wizard’s intuition.
