Surviving the Game as a Barbarian - Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 72

Episode 72 Ghostbusters (1)

I looked at the strange ceiling and thought.

The last thing I saw before I lost my mind was the gloomy sky peculiar to this city… … .

‘It’s kind of like a temporary patient tent. There must have been many other wounded besides me.’

In fact, if you look to the side, you can see the beds next to each other.

I grasped the situation naturally as if breathing.

Inside the tent where there is silence.

Most of the usable beds are empty.

That is to say.

‘It must have been quite some time.’

So what I have to do is decided.

First check how much time has passed.

The car is trying to raise the upper body slowly so that the muscles do not startle, and a heavy feeling of heterogeneity is felt in the abdomen.

As soon as I realized my identity, I burst out laughing.

‘Where did you go? … .’

Misha was sleeping on my stomach.

It even makes a distinctive snoring sound.

It’s strange that he seemed to be by my side to take care of me, but at the same time, I wonder what’s the meaning of this.

‘Well, he must have been tired too.’

Elisa, the priest of Karui.

Distress in the Witch’s Forest.

The chase with the chaos lord Lyakis.

When I think of what I’ve been through, it’s hard to understand.

However… … .

“Misha, wake up.”

Right now, my curiosity comes first, so I shook Misha to wake him up without any hesitation.

“yes? Yes… Rain, Bjorn! wake up! body? How are you, are you okay?”

“As you can see, everything is fine.”

The left ankle, which had been injured, moved well, and the torn arm was restored to its original state.

In that sense, the first question.

“Are you sure you used the best potion?”

“No, a priest came and treated me.”

“What is the cost of treatment?”

“Well, don’t worry. It’s been a while since the guild came out with disaster aid… … .”

No, I’m worried about you.

“So how much?”

“… 300,000 stones.”

“Right.”

After all, it’s still much cheaper than the best potions.

I was worried because it was a priest, but it seems that the guild’s subsidy came out quite generously.

“Why are you making that face? Good job.”

“But Bjorn doesn’t like money… … .”

Uh, that’s for sure.

What is my image to him?

“Even so, money can’t be more important than your body, right?”

It didn’t just restore crushed flesh.

It’s not even that the cut sections were joined together.

It was a process of repairing the arm that had been torn to the bone, and the arm left behind in the labyrinth.

‘Clearly there was no answer with natural regeneration.’

I erased my regrets cleanly.

When I tested the limit of regenerative power through an experiment with Raven in the past, it took a lot of time for the severed finger to grow.

Anyway, here’s the second question.

“So how long has it been since you came out of the labyrinth?”

“Per 6 hours or so.”

Well, somehow it was still bright outside the tent.

It wasn’t like the whole day had passed.

“A backpack?”

“I’m fine. Of course, there is nothing in it!”

“A magic stone?”

“I added yours and turned them all into money.”

“Did anyone come to see me while I was fainting?”

“Ah, Hikurodne was there!”

“… A dwarf?”

As she tilted her head, Misha slowly explained what had happened.

The point is that I was reunited with Hikurodne and the others who came to this place about 5 hours ago just in case… … .

“I’m glad all three are fine. So where did they go?”

“I confirmed that I was alive, so I said it was okay, and now I was tired, and I went to bed.”

“Right.”

No feeling of sadness

It would have been the other way around too.

After all, I’m not waking up quickly just because I’m here. It’s a delayed story, we’ll have to share it two days after we’ve decided to meet.

“Then what more do we have to do to get out of here?”

“I just had to pack my bags and go. I’ve already done all the troublesome things.”

“Right.”

As soon as she walks on the blanket and tries to get up, Misha hurriedly stops her.

“Wait, don’t wake up!”

“… … ?”

“Wow, put on this first… … .”

No explanation was needed.

“ah… … .”

While Misha turned her back and looked elsewhere, she put on a new set of clothes that were piled up on the table.

By the way, they even buy clothes in advance.

Contrary to what you usually see, there are delicate corners.

“Do your clothes fit well?”

“It fits well.”

To be honest, it’s a bit too small… … .

In the first place, it was difficult to find clothes of the right size in this city.

Anyway, the sun was setting when we left the tent.

“Misha, where are you staying?”

“Eight districts.”

“Then we can go together.”

As we went back to the dorm together because the directions were the same, the surroundings and ours are contrasting again.

People walking around the streets wearing clean everyday clothes, not heavy and hard metal armor.

“Bjorn, what are you looking at like that? Hurry up, I’m going to die of exhaustion.”

After walking for about 30 minutes on a clean street, I found the accommodation.

For reference, it seems that Misha’s accommodation is about 10 minutes away from here.

“It’s closer than you think.”

“That’s right. Why didn’t you know before?”

“Anyway, go now. Aren’t you tired too? Thank you for today.”

“Come on, wait!”

As I was about to say goodbye quickly and enter the inn, Misha grabs my wrist.

“Is there anything else I need to know right now?”

“No, it’s not like that… … .”

or something like that

As soon as I sent my eyes to tell you what to do, Misha smiled bitterly and released my wrist.

“Okay, you have to do it anyway, so you won’t be scolded for saying the same thing over and over again.”

“Same thing?”

“Then I will go, guaranteed tomorrow!”

Without asking a question, Misha ran and disappeared.

“tomorrow?”

Wasn’t it the day after tomorrow that we all decided to get together?

The last sentence was a bit questionable, but I was too lazy to think about it, so I quickly entered the inn. And after washing my body roughly, I had a quick meal on the first floor.

As always, it was only when I lay down in bed that I realized it.

‘You came back alive again this time.’

came back alive

Fuck.

***

noon the next day.

I woke up to the sound of a knock on the door. I’ve been trying to just ignore it and go to sleep, but I have to be persistent.

“… Missha?”

“I thought you were sleeping too.”

“Why are you here? The appointment must be tomorrow night?”

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha grinned at my grim question and spreads the package on the table.

I saw something and it was food.

“Come quickly and sit down. If you don’t even eat and sleep like that, you’re hurting your body.”

No, barbarians don’t have anything like that?

After staring at me with an absurd look, Misha finally grabbed my arm and pulled me in.

“Don’t talk, come. Even if you sleep, can’t you just eat and then go to sleep?”

I wondered what would happen if I skipped one or two meals, but I was sincere and obeyed.

The menu is stir-fried vegetables and grilled meat with eggs.

“How are you?”

“… delicious. Did you do it yourself?”

“Then where are you going to sell these?”

well, just do it that way.

Anyway, I didn’t really see it that way, but I’m sure he’ll be good at cooking.

“At first, I did it myself to save some money, but it’s quite fun, so I’m still doing it.”

“Um, but didn’t you say you were staying at an inn?”

“Ah, that’s the way it is, but somehow, I get to be friends with the chef and if I say I’m going to use it for a while, they say yes.”

“Right.”

“If Bjorn has a chance later, try it. You can save a lot of money than you think, which is good.”

to cook?

There’s really nothing he can’t say to a barbarian. Or are you just not familiar with barbarians?

“Cooking is the shame of a warrior.”

“Is that so?”

When she nodded her head resolutely, Misha made a face that said yes, and cautiously offered a suggestion.

“Well then, I can do it… … .”

what else is he saying

“Okay, what are you doing like that? It is convenient to just buy and eat.”

“That’s right?”

“By the way, how did you know about the lake? I guess I didn’t tell you until then.”

“Oh, that? When I asked the innkeeper where the barbarians were, he just told me?”

“… Right.”

Afterwards, we chatted and put food in our mouths, and the bowl was empty in no time.

“Then what are you going to do? Are you better off?”

I pondered for a while and answered.

“Now that this has happened, I think I should go to the business district for a while.”

Originally, I was going to sleep all night until tomorrow, but even if I lay down again, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep at all.

It’s kind of obsessive-compulsive.

Unless you feel like you’re going to collapse from exhaustion right away, you can’t take a break from procrastination on your own.

“It was better. Misha, you go too.”

“Eh? me too? I went back to sleep… … .”

Novel from https://noblemtl.net

Misha wiggles her horse’s tail with a puzzled look.

In my experience, it is necessary to speak strongly in such cases.

“Isn’t it you who woke me up? Take responsibility.”

“Hey, I see. Because I had to go to pick up the equipment anyway… … .”

where to run away

***

First, the acquired equipment was completely disposed of.

It wasn’t as savory as I expected, as I had paid the Dzarwi clan a protection fee of 2 million stones as equipment earlier.

‘Among these, what I got from Hans’ group must be divided into 5 separate divisions… … .’

Still, after selling the equipment and various consumables of the three religious people, a lot of money was collected.

One of the three was the owner of an expandable backpack.

Well, I had a lot of money to pay.

“… The repair cost is 500,000 stones?”

“It’s a device made of titanium. I don’t know if it’s to the extent of being bent or bent, but it can’t be helped because it’s corroded so badly.”

anyway it is

How about 500,000 stones to repair a piece of equipment worth 4 million stones in total?

This is a barbarian, catching hogu—

“Bjorn, don’t force yourself too much. I’m not saying he’s wrong… … .”

It was heartbreaking, but seeing Misha, an explorer with 5 years of experience, does that, so it seems like a normal price.

So I just paid.

‘… What’s the replacement goal loss?’

For efficient gamers, the loss of gold is more frightening than loss of muscle.

I looked back one by one.

‘I left the mace with one of my arms in the labyrinth, and I used an advanced potion once on the way, plus 300,000 stones for treatment and 500,000 stones for repairs… … .’

The more I think about it, the more my stomach hurts.

If I hadn’t given away the equipment worth 2 million stones for the protection fee, I would have been able to laugh at this much… … .

“Bjorn, don’t be like that. If it’s money, I’ll earn it hard in the future… … .”

Yes, let’s think positive.

In fact, he is the second biggest income in this expedition.

Oh, and of course, the first is Orc Hero Essence.

‘I got a lot of consumables like potions, so I have a lot of money to use later… … .’

“Bjorn, what are you doing? Don’t come in.”

After thinking about it, I entered the inn with Misha. Not my accommodation in Misshana, but an inn located in the commercial district of Commelby.

“It must have been that the carriage on the platform was cut off.”

“So I said I had to move quickly, didn’t I?”

“Okay, so stop nagging.”

Upon entering the inn, I asked for two rooms at the counter, and Misha slapped me on the back.

“Crazy! Know how much per day! Take one.”

“… You want me to take just one?”

I don’t think it should usually be the other way around… … .

“I thought this was Ravigion! Usually there are more than 10,000 stones in one night, but that’s a lot!”

“Right. One room would be enough.”

Now that I see it, I just got hit in the back.

I came here because it looked cheap, but 9,000 stones per night?

The price was crazy because it was the center of the city.

Last time I ran out of food for a month, so less than 20,000 stones.

‘There must have been a reason he told me to move quickly… … .’

However, the room itself was well worth the price.

Instead of the gosiwon where I stayed, the living room, bedroom, and bathroom were separated.

There is a small terrace in the living room as well as the window, and the room smells of flowers.

“Bjorn, look at this! Artian Studio Soapdang! You let me use this for free!!”

At first, Misha, who gave a pin cup saying that she was wasting money unnecessarily, found something and went into the bathroom of Holadang.

When he came out, he looked very satisfied.

“Bjorn, we are going to work really hard in the future.”

I wondered what kind of fuss it was, but as I lay down on the spacious bed, I had no choice but to agree.

“okay… Let’s work hard.”

After that, the bed should be this soft.

‘When will I be able to sleep in a bed like this every day… … .’

It feels like there is still a long way to go.

A city where barbarism and civilization coexist.

How many more predators and monsters do I have to kill to live here more humanly than now?

Drooling!

Without even thinking deeply, my eyes slowly close.

***

At that time most of them were asleep.

Today, the pub where the people who felt sorry for were gathered was noisier than usual, no, maybe more than usual.

“Hey, did you hear the news?”

“Are you talking about the hierarchical monarch who appeared on the third floor?”

“Yeah, he said over 30 people died in the Dzarwi clan.”

“What is the number of thirty people? The guild will announce it tomorrow, but the total number of deaths is in the hundreds.”

“So, the culprit who summoned the hierarchical monarch hasn’t been caught yet?”

If you’re an explorer, you can’t help but be intrigued.

However, in addition to the news that everyone knows, there was a story that spread slowly and unknowingly by the luxuries.

“Oh, you guys know that? Something I heard from one of the survivors… … . It was said that one person was particularly active in surviving that much in the Dzarwi clan?”

“If it’s one person, are you referring to Vice-Captain McGrain the Wire?”

“No, I heard it was a third-floor explorer who happened to be there.”

“Hmm, did any of the 3rd floor explorers do that? What is his name?”

“That’s what it means… … .”

Bjorn, son of Yandel.

A barbarian who entered the third floor after only three months.

The unbelievable bravery he showed while saving so many people from crisis was sometimes not wrong, and sometimes a little bit of exaggeration was mixed and spread.

However, each story ended with one thing.

“The wizard who told me did not hesitate to say this about the barbarian.”

“What do you mean?

“Even though he was still young and did not accomplish the hero’s feat, it is clear that he will follow his path, borrowing the name of a hero who was more courageous and greater than anyone else… … .”

Lee name.

Another name that can only be obtained by explorers with skill and fame.

“It’s not enough to call it a small Balkan.”

That tinnitus was heard everywhere without missing a beat.
