Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 447



Episode 447: Party (4)

Since I didn’t know what would come out of the Rose Knights’ secret subspace I decided to open them one by one in order.

And the first is military wizard Lilith Marone.

“It’s a box…?”

What came out of her subspace was a wood carving box.

It’s small enough to barely fit one or two books.

“There are no special magical measures. “Just open it.”

After receiving Versil’s permission she immediately opened the box.

and….

“uh….”

“This is…”

An awkward exclamation came from the mouths of the crew members who checked the items inside the wood carving box.

This is because the contents were very different from what was expected.

“All I need is cash a few fake IDs and a portrait…”

“…Who on earth is the portrait? “Are you family?”

“I think so. “If you see hand stains all over the place.”

What is this….

“All next! Let’s open the next one!”

Even saying we were exhausted was not enough but the crew including myself did not give up hope and resumed the subspace opening ceremony.

“Likewise there’s cash and ID… and there’s a strange pill in here?”

The pills that came out of the second box were all too familiar to Amelia and me.

“It is an elixir called Lethe’s blessing.”

“…Is this something you know Mr. Raines?”

“Yes it has the effect of erasing the subject’s memory when taken. “It’s an elixir created by an alchemist in Noark and it looks like the royal family figured out how to make it.”

“This… may come in handy someday. “How many memories can you erase?”

“Well maybe it’s been improved but the form is a little different from what I used to know.”

“Is that so… I can see that they are all different sizes. For some reason it seems like the bigger it gets the more memories it will erase… I’ll check this in the lab.”

Third fourth fifth…

The opening ceremony of Aspace ended in an instant.

“…It’s that pill that’s called Lethe’s blessing or something.”

“There is some kind of poison here.”

“…It’s a strongly acidic solution. I think it was used when destroying something. For example a corpse…”

The sub-space that I thought was a treasure chest was unfortunately an empty space. Well it’s not like there wasn’t anything useful other than Lethe’s blessing.

“Lord Kaislan could you please look at this notebook?”

It was an item from the sixth subspace.

“This… seems to be the name of the three characters released by the royal family.”

A list containing the names of informants of the royal family who are working undercover in various organizations under false pretenses.

I felt the power of the royal family once again.

“Looking at it this appears to be only a small portion of the many informants.”

“There are so many… that’s part of it?”

“Look. Aren’t most of the informants concentrated on the power of a certain noble family? “Maybe the owner of this subspace was carrying out a personal mission related to that noble family.”

“This list… is just a source of information needed to carry out that one personal mission?”

“Of course it’s my guess.”

Kaislan finished his sentence like that but I couldn’t think of any other possibilities.

“They say the eyes and ears of the royal family are everywhere but I never thought they would be like this….”

After those words a heavy silence came for a moment.

All of the crew members felt it indirectly.

The real power of the royal family that we will have to deal with in the future.

“Anyway it went well.”

I struggled in silence and opened my mouth as if nothing had happened.

“Bersil I will keep this list. “I might have something to write about someday.”

The matter is finally concluded by taking the list separately.

“Anyway this is the last time.”

The crew members’ eyes lit up at my words.

As the opening ceremony of Aspace progressed the high expectations subsided but I still wondered if it would be a little different this time.

“…That was her subspace right?”

Six of the Order of the Rose.

I don’t know if he is the leader vice-leader or even just a member of the rank and file but one thing is clear.

The woman assumed the role of commander that day.

but….

“…It’s wood carving again this time.”

I didn’t give up my expectations until the end and to say that the contents of the box I opened was simple was not enough.

cash.

ID.

Lethe’s blessing.

and….

A document contained in letterhead with the seal broken.

“This is…”

It was an order issued from the royal family.

It contains instructions to destroy the expedition team at Ice Rock if they return alive.

“I could use it.”

It was not bad income.

After the Aspace opening ceremony was over.

I received all the equipment I had brought with me from the labyrinth.

“What will we do with this equipment in the future?”

“First of all we will slowly dispose of the equipment obtained from the Noark guys taking as much time as possible. And that money will become our military funds in the future.”

“I guess so….”

In fact most of the loot acquired during the expedition was handed over to me and the authority to use it was entrusted to me but surprisingly there were no complaints.

I was happy about the trust but I was a little worried.

‘It would be perfect to get scammed.’

What if the person sitting in the captain’s seat wasn’t a good and responsible barbarian like me?

“Yandel by the way what do you plan to do with the Rose Knights’ equipment? “If I dispose of it in that condition it will definitely attract the attention of the royal family.”

“Ah in that case I plan to arrange for a suitable blacksmith and reprocess it one by one. “It is true that selling it is dangerous but it is also a material of such high quality that it would be a waste to sell it.”

The plan is to melt Mystium a metal of the same level as Ark and cut Ogre leather a grade 5 material along the seam lines and produce it with other equipment.

Of course even if you do everything the amount will not be much.

Even if you melt down all the daggers Mystic would be difficult to make even a single armor and in the case of leather the loss rate during the reprocessing process would be significant.

“We plan to decide together later what to make with the collected materials so if there is someone who wants the materials please come with a reason that everyone can understand.”

It might seem like a good idea to make a Mystic shield but a leader shouldn’t pursue personal glory.

Public funds will be used fairly and only for the benefit of the group.

Well they didn’t seem to be very interested.

“Rather than that I want to talk about it little by little. “I heard the clan was founded a few days ago… When can we join?”

“Ah in that case Versil has set a time in order albeit briefly.”

“Oh really? “When am I?”

“Miss Marrone about three months later. I think it would be neatest for him to retire due to friction with his superiors. “If you think of a better reason please let me know in advance.”

“Oh then when will I arrive?”

“Lord Kaislan… he is the slowest among us. Because you have a position. When interest in us becomes a little less… I think it would be natural to wait at least a year and then join.”

“I guess so….”

“Kala you said you were kicked out of the clan a while ago right? Take a couple of months off and express your interest in joining another clan. “There will be no clan that will accept it anyway.”

“….”

“I looked for a new nest but couldn’t find it so I joined Yandel’s clan which was my connection to the previous expedition. After all there’s a lot less discomfort this way right?”

“If they say I will accept it… what will I do then?”

“Then ask for recognition of your previous experience as vice-captain and ask for a high rank. I’m sure they’ll tell you to turn it off immediately. “You can trust me because I have experience working in human resources.”

As those words continued James Carla frowned unable to say anything.

“Ah Lord Parab….”

Bersil’s logical briefing continued like that for a while.

It was pretty impressive.

Is it because of the combination of wizard attributes former clan vice-captain attributes and modern human attributes?

The way you handle things is really like a knife.

‘What did you do on Earth?’

Anyway as time passed and the briefing was over questions were asked to me.

“Blast Sword Ainar Pnellin how much does she know about us?”

“I don’t know anything. So when you meet her later everyone be careful what you say.”

“I guess so….”

“Anyway there are already two members of the Seven Gangs so if we join here… even if we don’t want to attract attention we’ll probably attract a lot of attention right? “Hehehe.”

“Hmm Parav you think you’re at that level?”

“…Isn’t it? No your external reputation may fall a little but… uh…”

“I’m curious about a member called Auyen Lokrobe. It’s my first time hearing that name. “Is he trustworthy?”

In the case of our navigator it was not I who answered but Amelia.

“It’s trustworthy. “I guarantee it.”

After similar questions were asked the topic changed again.

This time we talked about what happened at the victory ceremony and when we told them about our decision to go to Melves our next plan naturally came to fruition.

However since I cannot explain everything here I have presented only the vision in brief.

“We have as many enemies as we have.”

“….”

“And the saying goes that the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”

Create a clan establish a family steadily build a wall to protect us and increase the number of companions as much as possible.

That’s the core of my plan.

To give shit to the guys who threw us in that hell.

***

After the serious talk was over we had a comfortable conversation in a lighter atmosphere.

“What about Lord Kaislan? “Has he been interrogated since he returned from the expedition?”

“There was but it was listening rather than interrogation. “I didn’t use any verification magic or anything.”

We asked each other how we were doing.

“Mr. Gowland do you have any medicine to help you sleep?”

“yes. “I’ll give it to you if you need it.”

“You don’t ask why.”

“Actually I also have a hard time sleeping. From that day on.”

Some people get help.

“You said you were Mr. Marrone… What are you painting on those fingernails?”

“Oh this? Pretty right? It’s popular among wizards these days. Tersia would you like to try it too?”

Some people simply talked about their hobbies for a long time.

It was such an amazing thing.

I was a complete stranger until I entered the labyrinth a month ago.

“….”

I sat alone on the sofa in the corner and looked around.

Unlike the royal banquet there was no fancy royal cuisine or expensive wine. It’s just that the tenant goes out and rents an empty building and talks there.

But still I thought.

As expected this type of banquet is much more enjoyable for me.

“Then I guess I’ll just have to go.”

As always the fun time passed quickly.

In the evening we left one by one effectively ending our expedition party’s after-party and Erwen Amelia and I also returned home.

And two days later.

“Going to the library? “This morning?”

I left the house in the morning receiving questioning looks from Amelia and Erwen.

That’s something I realized later too.

[I will be waiting for you three days later at the place where we first met.]

There was no time written on the note.

Ragna doesn’t look like that either so if you look at him he’s really a mess.

“Whoa….”

As I was walking along the familiar streets of District 7 my destination soon came into view.

[Labigion National Library]

In the early days of awakening from this savage body this was the very place where I lived as if it were my home.

However as soon as I arrived I froze.

This is because there was a sign in front of the library saying it was closed today.

‘…I didn’t think of a case like this.’

What should I do? Should I just wait here like this? Yes then at least there will be no conflict.

I was thinking about that.

Again and again.

As I was pacing in front of the door a woman approached me making the sound of her shoes.

As soon as I met her eyes her body flinched.

“I see you Baron Yandel” she said.

Her black hair black eyes and black skirt.

A woman who is all black except for her white shirt.

“Please come this way. The Count is waiting—”

“Wrong.”

“…yes?”

I said clearly as I saw the woman tilting her head for the first time.

“Today I am not a baron but a leader.”

“….”

“Of the ‘Anavada’ clan that was founded a few days ago.”

Despite my seemingly unexpected words the woman did not show any significant change in expression.

I just reply with a business smile.

“I see. I will be careful about titles from now on. “Director Yandel.”

“thanks. “I feel that way today.”

“That feeling… is that what you mean?”

“Ah doesn’t the leader look stronger than the baron?”

“…okay.”

A woman who blurts out her positive meaning even though she probably doesn’t even understand the difference.

I asked the woman subtly.

“Do you even know what anavada means?”

The answer came back immediately.

“I understand that it means a group of wild beasts in ancient language.”

“Uh uh… yes right… you know as expected?”

I looked sullen like a barbarian who had lost the opportunity to show off his knowledge. Then she pretended not to see the woman and opened the locked door of the library.

“Please come this way. “The Count is waiting.”

Soon the woman walked in front of me and I followed behind her and ate her food.

Again and again.

Just looking at this arm it looks like a wise star.
