Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 85



Episode 85: Baron Martohan (1)

When I got out of the sewer.

What greeted me was the sky that had already set and two familiar faces.

“Bjorn! “You’re safe!”

“Shavin? “Why are you here?”

“Why are you here! “I came because I was worried because you didn’t come to report on the request even after several hours!”

Well I see.

He also feels grateful that he came to find it himself.

however….

“The two of you?”

If something really happened to us wouldn’t it be a reasonable decision to send another explorer after daybreak?

Rather than organizing a party made up of administrative office workers and library librarians.

“What! What about those eyes? “What a skilled wizard Ragna is!”

Only then did I check the face of the librarian who came with me.

His demeanor was definitely different from what I saw in the library.

“Hmm.”

Shiny robe.

Scrolls and potions hanging on his belt.

And in his hand he holds a magic wand that looks quite expensive.

I don’t know how good it is but it’s clear that it’s equipment that you can’t afford with a typical librarian’s salary.

Was he actually rich?

“Bjorn who are these people?”

“Shabin Emoor. I am an employee of the administrative office who entrusted this request to me. And this is… Ragnar Lithaniel Peprok.”

“It’s not Litaniel it’s Litaniyel!”

“Anyway he’s the librarian at the library I used to go to.”

“Hey that’s right.”

After briefly introducing the rest starting with Misha I made a formal statement.

“I’m sorry to have you come here this evening.”

“There is no need to apologize.”

“Then say thank you. “I never thought you would come this far.”

“…Please say thank you to Shavin. “I was just forced into it.”

The librarian says that and turns her head.

Why does it seem colder today?

I thought it was because of her mood but her Shabin smiled and clung to her.

“Are you going to get caught up in Ragna’s pressure? “She was very worried about herself.”

“Worried about that? “When did I do that!”

“You said you might get lost because the sewer road is complicated right?”

“Stop fabricating Shavin. That’s just a possibility. “It means it won’t be a big deal.”

“Hmm was that so?”

Shavin grins as she looks at the troubled librarian. From that alone I think I can roughly understand what kind of relationship these two have.

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

“Enough chatting let me report on the request.”

If you want to go back to your accommodation and rest before the end of the day you need to move quickly.

***

The results of the sewer patrol were simple.

One vagabond was found and killed. Other than that there were no other incidents.

Since the video recording device was shattered there is no evidence that the request was completed properly…

It was helpful to have my identity card with me.

“Hans Marcom. I remember it. He is a criminal wanted for robbery and murder and is on the run. Including the request fee and additional allowance it is 180000 stones. “If you visit the administrative office tomorrow I will pay you right away.”

“I don’t have to ask for the fact that I broke the video recorder?”

“That’s… I’m going to try to solve it by talking to the above. The above will probably tell you that it’s okay. “You experienced something very special this time right?”

“It’s a special event….”

It’s not really wrong but I didn’t know if they would take that into consideration.

However it would be more correct to say that Shavin did me a favor rather than because the administrative office was a flexible organization unlike the guild.

“The star that rises at dusk will guide us….”

After waiting for a while a person came from the temple that Shabin had sent a message to.

It’s not an ordinary shrine….

He was a paladin who carried a fearsome greatsword on his back. He checked the body we showed him in detail and nodded his head.

“You are the renegade Elisa Behenk. This denomination will never forget this contribution.”

The voice is friendly without any hint of arrogance and we can even feel the respect for us.

But you won’t forget?

Isn’t this a bit vague?

“If you say merit do you mean a reward?”

Like a barbarian who knows no pretense he spoke bluntly.

The paladin just smiled kindly.

“There is a misunderstanding. “The bounty was offered by the Explorers’ Guild.”

“Does this mean I can’t get any money if I hand it over to you?”

“Haha I will send an official letter to the guild as soon as the sun rises tomorrow so don’t worry about that.”

“…I see.”

That person looks embarrassed.

You should have said that a long time ago.

“Hey paladin? “She lost her memory while fighting with that woman earlier… Can you check to see if there’s anything else wrong?”

“Of course.”

Afterwards the Holy Knight left after using [Advanced Purification] on each of them. We need to hurry up and take this body to the temple?

“We’ll just go now. “I think I have a lot of reports to write tomorrow so I should at least go to bed early.”

Shavin and the librarian were the same.

As it was late he turned around and disappeared as soon as he finished his business.

Well then are you done with everything you need to do now?

“We’ll meet again tomorrow and talk about the reward.”

“Ugh it’s finally time to go back!”

“I think my body smells worse than when I went to the labyrinth! Hahaha!”

We dispersed and headed to our respective accommodations.

The time of arrival was 11:30 PM.

I wanted to rest right away but I went into the bathroom first and scrubbed my body for a while to wash off the filth.

It was only after that when I lay down on the bed that it felt real.

‘It’s been a tough day.’

I don’t know why I have to feel this way after completing a 150000 stone request…

This time he came back alive.

***

The next morning everyone gathered together and visited the guild to collect the reward.

Fortunately the Holy Knight handled the work quickly and I was able to receive it simply by presenting my identity card.

For reference the amount is…

“It’s hard to believe it’s 10 million stones. Hahaha!”

Even if you divide it by five it is a huge amount of 2 million stones.

When we met in the morning smiles bloomed on the faces of those who were complaining that the sewage smell had not yet gone away.

“Now that I see it Bjorn you were a lucky person huh? “For some reason ever since I met you it feels like money is just falling from the sky!”

Yeah you probably feel that way.

Because I was the one who got my head blown off by a psychopathic bitch.

Even Rotmiller added a word.

“…I don’t believe in superstitions but at this point I have no choice but to believe in them. Bjorn it’s clear that Lady Luck is with you on your journey.”

I know it’s a compliment but it doesn’t feel that good when I hear it.

Why is it that the things I worked hard for rolling around like a dog are thanks to a goddess I’ve never seen?

“Then I’ll just go.”

“huh? Where are you going? “Should I at least have a drink?”

“You also have to go to the administrative office.”

“Ah I told you to come and collect the fee for her request. “We’ll have a drink together and you’ll have a nice trip.”

Well even if it’s just empty words you don’t say you’ll go with me.

“Bjorn! “Can I go with you?”

“It’s okay you had a hard time yesterday but you should rest.”

“Uhm okay.”

After distributing the reward we headed straight to the administrative office.

A five-story building reminiscent of the old Seoul Station building.

I went up the stairs and headed to the facility management department on the 3rd floor where I was able to meet Shavin without difficulty.

“Bjorn! “You’re here!”

As always Shavin is wearing a uniform-like uniform. However perhaps because everyone is wearing the same clothes there is no feeling of standing out.

Or rather am I going to stand out?

“Hey is that little Vulcan?”

“I heard that if you use that ability you will grow enormously….”

“What are you all talking about! “Oh my god you’re so crazy….”

Was she a female employee?

As soon as you enter the facility management department loud whispers come out from all over.

I felt like a monkey in a cage.

She decided to finish her business and leave.

“Now all you have to do is sign the payment confirmation form here. “If you don’t have a registered signature you can just write your name.”

“Sure.”

She soon received the money and signed her documents.

But as I was about to turn my back and leave Shavin caught me and said one thing.

“ah! right! “If you have time please stop by the library.”

“library?”

“Ragna did you say that child prepared something special for Bjorn?”

He said that?

Looking at the playful eyes I think it would be okay to listen to it with a certain level of sensitivity but…

“i get it. “I’ll stop by whenever I have time.”

“yes! Definitely definitely!”

I’m sure he has some business to do so I’ll have to stop by.

***

After leaving the administrative office she returned to the bar where her group was.

There was nothing more to see. It was a mess.

Since it was still daylight I thought I would restrain myself a little.

“Even if it’s true? Hahahahaha!”

“Don’t lie you old dwarf! How could a person’s name be Dick Johnson… Nyaha! “Nyahahahaha!”

The dwarf and Misha were very drunk and talking and laughing and Dwalki was giggling to himself with his head on the table.

“Kkeke I am the great wizard Riol Warb Dwalky….”

As I was sighing at the sight Rotmiller politely welcomed me.

“Ah are you here too? “How did anything happen?”

“That seems like a question I should ask. Why is it already like this?”

“Didn’t you make a lot of money easily this time? “Everyone seemed to be in a good mood.”

“…I see.”

I answered that and approached Misha.

He then snatched the beer glass from her hand and lifted her up by the back of her neck.

“Ahh! Who who…! Bjorn? “When did you come?”

“I just arrived. And stop drinking.”

“…profit! Are you like my dad?”

Misha looks at me with disgust and rebels.

I was about to say something before climbing further but Misha suddenly bursts into laughter.

“ah! right! My dad doesn’t even care about these things does he? “Nyahahahaha!”

…He’s really not in a good mood today.

Huh I thought I would just get some rest today.

“Okay if you’re bored just drink this.”

“Okay.”

I couldn’t let her get any more drunk so I ordered tomato juice poured it into Misha’s mouth and sat down next to her.

I don’t know if he’s a dwarf but if he gets so drunk that he can’t control himself I have to take him there.

I’m the only one heading in the same direction.

“Haha! You two are so strange!! There’s something! “There’s something there!!”

“Stop talking nonsense and drink water if you’re drunk.”

“Haha you are still young. Does this look like beer to you? To me it’s just water! water!”

“…Do it yourself.”

I decided to pay no attention to the dwarf and ordered some food to satisfy my hunger.

As I was doing that Misha who must have sobered up a bit wriggled next to her and stared at me.

“Well… do you have something to say?”

“There it is!”

The answer came back as if I had been waiting for it.

I felt uneasy for some reason but I nodded.

“…Try it.”

Misha slapped her drunken cheek a couple of times then caught her breath and opened her mouth.

“Father bring you back once—”

“oh! Who is this! “Isn’t this Bjorn Yandel’s son?”

“huh? “Who is that person?”

The man interrupted Misha and called me in a loud voice.

She was the one in memory.

“you….”

“Did you just forget your name? It’s Hans! Hans Hodge!”

“…I did.”

The name came to mind right away but I was confused about the order.

This guy who has a skinny anchovy body and features freckles has a Hans code of B.

FYI when Einar left the party she ran into her at a bar. She also advised me to go to the guild to find her companions.

‘But what use does this bastard have for me?’

Is it because I have encountered many Hans since then?

As soon as this guy started talking to me I started to feel uneasy.

For some reason it felt like something terrible was going to happen.

“Can I sit down?”

“No I have nothing to say to you.”

“Hmm it was a coincidence that we met like this—”

“It will happen soon. So leave now.”

“I see. “I just did it because I was happy…”

As I put up an iron wall to avoid being tangled up Hans B becomes sullen and turns his back on me to leave.

Although there is no basis it feels like I have overcome one hurdle.

It was a moment when I felt that way.

Suddenly-!

The first floor door opens and a group of knights with the same family emblem engraved on their chests enter the bar.

“It’s Mozlan!”

Mozlan.

One of the city’s highest military organizations that only ‘knights’ from noble families can enter.

“Why on earth are they in this corner bar…?”

Everyone’s attention is drawn to them as soon as they enter as they are notorious for saying that if they are captured by Mozlan nothing but blood and death will be left behind.

Before you know it the bar is filled with silence.

“It’s over there.”

According to the commander’s instructions the knights move to one place in perfect order.

Unfortunately that was the direction I was in.

‘Nimiral.’

What is it again this time?

I was looking back on my recent actions one by one to see if I had made any mistakes.

[Beware of those who have a lot of resentment anytime anywhere.]

What the tribal shaman said while reading fortunes suddenly came to mind.

Also as I was returning to my original position I saw Hans B standing close to me in the hallway giving way.

‘Wait a minute if you have a lot of resentment….’

Did you really mean Hans?

I’ve definitely never had a problem with them…

That was when my thoughts led to that point.

Crash.

A group of knights stops in front of our table.

And then he looks at us and speaks in a deep yet intimidating voice.

I froze in shock as I held the fork.

“Riol Wobb Dwalki I am arresting you for insulting nobility.”

Surprisingly it wasn’t me this time.
