Surviving the Game as a Barbarian - Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 95
95 episodes Barbarian Trophy (2)
They eat meat and drink alcohol.
Dirty hands are roughly wiped clean on a tablecloth.
The reason for doing this is simple.
‘That’s what Baron Martoan wants anyway, because it will help me too.’
The place where I am now is the Count’s Banquet Hall.
It is right to act like a barbarian as it is a place where many people gather.
The more savage rumors pile up, the more.
I’ll be your shield someday when someone suspects that I’m an evil spirit.
“Hey, can I touch your forearm?”
“do whatever you want.”
“Hey! Really touched it!”
While enjoying a banquet possessed by a savage, curious nobles approached and talked to him.
It feels like doing a part-time job with a doll.
“Hey, can you scream just one more time like before?”
“Behel—la ah ah ah!!”
“Hahaha, how exciting!”
As he was demonstrating his professionalism as much as he was commissioned by the baron, more and more people began to gather.
Among them were knights.
There were three in total, and all three had sarcastic expressions on their faces.
He seems to be jealous of me because everyone is paying attention and treating me with kindness.
“That’s why I should call him Little Clown, not Little Balkan.”
“I heard that it got its name because it was small in the first place?”
“It seems that the pride of a warrior is a thing of the past now that you are farting like that.”
I tried to pretend I didn’t hear.
It’s not only like the cubs of ‘apprentice knights’ with the level of a third-floor explorer, but also… … .
Isn’t there nothing to gain by creating a dispute for nothing?
“Hahaha, have you been here?”
Baron Martohan returned as soon as he filled his stomach and was playing with the nobles.
He looked around and smiled happily.
“I’m sorry for disturbing the atmosphere. There is someone to introduce, so I will take the interest.”
“ah… … !”
The place that followed the baron was the banquet hall inside the mansion.
The atmosphere was different from the outdoor ones that had been there a while ago.
There, bands played upbeat tunes and young men and women danced in the garden, but what about this place?
‘Is it really a gathering of nobles?’
The interior is filled with quiet and soothing music.
Those who sit at the table and have a conversation are also holding the weight and keeping their torso.
“Come here.”
While moving along with the baron, he looked around Yeonsin. About two hundred people were enjoying the banquet in the indoor banquet hall.

Most of them were direct blood relatives like Baron Martoan’s young son-in-law, or those with social positions like the head of a bank or guild branch.
“There are many people I will greet with higher ranks than me, so I hope you will refrain from being rude as much as possible.”
After that, I followed the baron to meet the nobles of the title.
“Baron Martohan! Long time no see… … . Who is this friend?”
“Maybe you have heard of it. Little Balkan, famous among explorers these days.”
“Hey, Iza? have you ever heard But how did I come to follow you?”
Instead of answering the Viscount’s question, the Baron looked at me and blinked.
It means that you have prepared the dialogue.
“When I was in trouble, the baron helped me. In return, I decided to protect him for the time being.”
“Heh heh heh! I envy you to hear such words from a barbarian who looks so strong!”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve said many times that I don’t have to because it’s my burden… … .”
The baron wiggles his tail and looks at me again.
“… … A warrior never forgets grace.”
“her! What a true and honorable belief. Did I say Bjorn, the son of Yandel? Remember your name.”
There have been thirteen such conversations since then.
Excluding the count who hosted the banquet, there were only thirteen nobles.
After all, a title aristocrat who had fiefs in this city, even if it was only a speck of dust, was a rare existence in the game.
‘Somehow, I guess I’ve made a mark on the nobles.’
In the original, it would have been possible if the reputation level had been raised a lot more to participate in a banquet like this.
But I decided to be very careful.
It means that I am not qualified to participate in this event, and it also means that I do not have the strength to protect myself if I have been hated by a noble of the title.
“Then the greetings are over, so please rest by my side until the Count arrives.”
After the tour was over, he stood still by the baron’s side and faithfully performed the role of the trophy.
But is it because the baron is by his side?
Or through the previous warning?
“… … tt.”
I don’t know, but when the butler made eye contact, he just kicked his tongue and turned his head, but he didn’t bother with each other as he did before.
Is this the life of a barbarian?
‘I did this a long time ago.’
Anyway, it’s been pretty comfortable since then.
Baron Martohan, a noble of the title, never got up first.
There were a lot of people who came to say that they would open their faces even if they just stood still, and it was enough for the baron to show his talents whenever he wanted.
“Oh oh!”
“Indeed, it deserves the name of a little Balkan, Baron!”
Things like bending the prepared steel bar with bare hands or doing arm wrestling.
That was when time passed.
A familiar face appeared among the crowd approaching.
“Will the stars at twilight guide us? nice to meet you Baron Martoan, and… … .”
“This is Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
“Haha, sorry. Sir Jandel, I can’t remember your name well.”
When I said my name, the paladin in white armor smiled kindly.
It was the person I met the other day after completing a sewer request.
Late at night, I met Elisa Behenk’s body and met him briefly.
The name is obviously… … .
“Hey, were you acquainted with General Krovitz?”
Paral Krovitz.
It was definitely that name.
By the way… … .
‘… Are you the manager? Is he?’
Looking at the baron’s words as if he was surprised, the man scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.
“I am lacking in body, but I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to serve as the commander of the 3rd Holy Knights.”
“Right… … .”
It was very shaky.
I didn’t even think about it because I came here late at night to do chores like collecting the body.
Are you the leader of the Holy Knights?
Doesn’t that mean that he’s a monster with powers higher than the 8th floor explorer?
“If you need a place to lean on, come to our school. As I said back then, the school will never forget and will always remember Sir Jandel’s work.”
Well, I thought it was just empty words at the time.
A man who is currently serving as the head of the company even said this, so I will have to listen to it again later.

Maybe you don’t know
Even if it’s too much right now, if I build up more ties, I’ll send at least one priest to the team later.
“Hmm, is it a ball? General Krovitz, what does that mean?”
During the conversation, the baron snuggled in with a soft voice.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
Hell, I couldn’t have imagined that a barbarian would play a role in the sect.
“Oh, you didn’t tell me that.”
Krovitz looked at the people around him, not just the baron, and told the story as if he was reading a children’s storybook.
In summary, it was a no-brainer.
I found Karui’s priest in the labyrinth.
That wasn’t enough, even finding that evil woman hiding in the sewer and punishing her.
It was only the end of the story, but Krobitz was quite witty.
“her! have you ever heard It is said that one member of the family of evil spirits appeared. But it must have been interest that destroyed the family.”
“Little Balkan, Bjorn son of Yandel. He said he was born with the fate of a hero… … .”
When the conversation was over, the baron and the people around him spit out shouts.
“It’s a sun-yeon given by the stars. Our church also values Sir Yandel’s relationship with him. Oh, then, I have a place to go, so… … .”
Krovitz, who had painted my face with gilding until the end, said he had a business and left.
and… … .
“Hey, are you a much bigger person than I thought?”
The baron’s eyes looking at me softened a little.
***
“The character’s reputation has increased by +10.”
「The character’s reputation value increases by +10… … .”
“… … .”
***
“Oh my, did that happen?”
“If General Krovitz, who is famous for looking good at people, said something like that, he must be someone who will grow big in the future.”
When the story that Krobitz brought up was spreading without knowing it among the nobles.
The Count appeared and the banquet began in earnest.
“This is from Count Ferdehild!”
Central staircase leading to the second floor.
In the eyes of everyone, a man comes down with a dignified figure.
Next to him was a daughter in her late teens.
In a way, the woman who will be the main character of this banquet.
“Thank you everyone for coming here for my daughter Arabella’s birthday. We’ve prepared a lot of entertainment, so I hope you put down your worries and worries today and enjoy!”
The music changed dynamically at the Count’s words, and the quiet internal banquet hall began to come alive.
His trembling voice grew louder, and laughter rang out from all over the place.
Seriously, I’m starting to get a bit of drunkenness.
Before that, everyone was sipping alcohol.
“Lady, will you give me the honor of kissing the back of your hand?”
The young people each held the hand of the opposite s*x and went out to dance.
The older ones sat down and chatted vulgarly, feasting on the clown’s show.
That was the time.
“Let’s go too soon.”
The baron got up from his seat.
He looked like he was somehow nervous.
When asked where he was going, the baron answered.
“You haven’t met the Count yet, have you? When I saw you earlier, I talked about you, and you said that you really want to see me.”
The baron’s expression was completely different from when he had gone to greet the nobles of the title in the past.
A face as if you were dealing with your immediate supervisor.
‘It’s a count… … .’
I was nervous at the same time, but the Count I met was a pretty exciting guy.
And, it was very kind to me.
“Ha ha! Are you Nero? I wanted to meet you in person.”
When we go to say hello, the Count gets up and asks for a handshake.
“Nice to meet you!”
Although he responded to the barbarian handshake, he couldn’t shake the thought that it was strange in his heart.
Bjorn, son of the little Balkan Yandel.
There is a realization that it has become famous recently.
However… … .
‘Is the Count like this?’
Well, if you ask me that.
I never feel that way.
Sure enough, in this vast city, there are fewer than a hundred nobles with the rank of count.
It is incomparable even to the regional heads of the Explorers Guild that I met before.
Truly a powerful man with unparalleled power.
In the game, even in the game, no event occurred except at the second half of the play for the magnates above the count.
By the way… … .
“Are you taller than I thought? That’s why I should call it Big Balkan, not Small Balkan. Shout out!”
Such a count looks at me and praises me.
It’s like you want to be liked.
“But what about that weapon? I heard you used a mace originally.”
He continues and subtly mentions parts that he would not have known if he had not been paying attention for a long time.
‘Why?’
I didn’t understand.
If he wants it, I’m sure even the top explorers on the 7th and 8th floors, who can’t compare with my fame, can do whatever he wants… … .
Why are you interested in me?
‘Chiba, it makes people uneasy… … .’
Some might be happy if a giant like the Count pays attention, but at least I’m not.
Wasn’t it even when I was worried that something was going to happen in the near future?
‘… … If something happens, what is it?’
It was when the learned anxiety naturally began to assume the worst case associated with the Count one by one.
“Suddenly seeing you, I have a funny thought.”
He claps his hands and looks at me saying the Count is right.
And bring out unexpected offers.
“There will be a duel between the apprentice knights in a little while. Would you like to participate there too?”
“… Wouldn’t the knights hate it?”
“I will solve that problem. How is it?”
“Think… … .”
I did not give a certain answer in a vague tone.
That’s because, rather than refusing face-to-face, it would be less of a problem to reveal your intentions later through the baron.
“Hmm, then that’s it. Do what you feel comfortable with.”
The Count stopped paying attention to me as if it was just this far. And I had a chat with the baron.
A shallow conversation that compliments each other’s wife and children and blesses the future of the family.
“Haha, I enjoyed the conversation, so I kept you for a long time. You too, go and enjoy the banquet.”
“Yes.”
After leaving the earl’s side and returning to the original table, the baron spoke directly to him.
“therefore… How are you going to do that?”
“If it were… … ?”
“The end of Daejin!”
That’s what I was saying too.
I withheld an answer, saying I was thinking.
Even if he was going to reject it anyway, I decided that it would look more sincere.
“Think carefully. How do you know if this will help you too?”
As expected, the Baron tried to convince me of the advantages of participating in the tournament.
If you participate, you will be given 2 million stones separately, or it will be a good opportunity to show off your reputation.
Otherwise, what the Earl offered as a prize for winning the tournament was something like the 7000th Division Numbers Item.
“What? Garpas’ necklace?”
“… Why are you so surprised? Do you know anything?”
The baron, not an explorer, tilted his head at my reaction.
It was rather fortunate.
If he had been an explorer, my reaction would have been even more questionable.
“Hmm, I heard from Sir Elta that it is not very attractive.”
No.7777 Garpas’ necklace.
It drops only from the 5th floor rift, and the probability is almost extreme, making it extremely difficult to obtain.
In many ways, it was an item similar to the Frost Spirit Ring.
The lower number of the item number.
An item effect that has a strong personality but is of little value to explorers.
Because of that, even though it is rare, it is treated as a kind of bang.
and… … .
‘Even the fact that there is a hidden special event.’
The worries didn’t last long.
An ominous feeling that something is about to happen soon?
So, have you decided to save yourself for a while?
eating.
what does that mean
Carefully calculate the pros and cons in everything, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be afraid to do what you’re supposed to do like an asshole.
Yeah, because it’s no different than the main audience.
“summer solstice.”
“yes? What did you just say?”
“Daejin, as the Earl said, I will go out and see.”
