Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 257

Episode 257 Clan (1)

After the royal army returns.

People found out that the army was real and that the reason why it was not visible in Dimension Plaza was because it went underground to rob empty houses.

It’s just…

‘what happened?

No one knew the outcome.

So all sorts of speculations started to run wild.

From whether they won or lost, to the unfounded conspiracy theory that the royal family is actually just pretending to fight the underground city.

Every morning, new hypotheses were created among the fortune tellers, and eventually, a few days later, the royal family officially put up posters all over the city.

To briefly summarize the contents, it was as follows.

Damn we won and even conquered Noark. So stop worrying

I didn’t know how much of it would be true.

However, assuming that the daejabo is based on the truth to some extent, if we make up for a few missing points…

‘I’m sure. First of all, there was no battle.’

It was difficult to find traces of battle in the appearance of the knights returning to the palace.

‘Perhaps the Noarks ran away.’

If so, where did they run to?

A world blocked on all sides by walls.

It doesn’t even make sense that he hid on the ground.

If that number of people rises to the ground, there is no choice but to leave a trace.

‘Then it’s still down here…’

“Bjorn! Stop playing and come and carry this!”

Yes, I need to move my luggage.

If you worry about it for a hundred days, will you get an answer?

It is prudent to wait for the opening of the round table with the clown as a member.

So, having finished my thoughts, I moved my body.

“Oh, could you put the bed over here?”

The place where I am currently is an orphanage affiliated with the Church of Leatlas, possessing a moving center employee and taking out luggage from a building that is scheduled to be demolished.

Now I have to gradually build up my reputation.

Occasionally, when a request that could be done in the church popped up, those who had spare time went and finished it.

“Einar! I thought I wouldn’t get caught if I secretly rested!”

“I didn’t rest, I was playing with the little ones!”

“Aaaaaaaaaa! This sister broke my doll!! The doll-killer!!”

“That’s… I was trying to tell people’s vitals, but I couldn’t help it…!”

There were some happenings today, but after about an hour or two, the luggage was all over.

Therefore, today’s quest also ends here.

After that, I had a simple meal at a restaurant near the church, and then I heard a strange fact from Misha.

“You know what? Is that the orphanage you went to today?”

“Are you there?”

“That’s not it. The old building that Dwalki used to live in as a child. It was said to be demolished tomorrow.”

“…I see.”

“Anyway, it’s just that! I’m going! Oh, and it’s a bit late today, so let’s eat our own dinner.”

After eating, we immediately dispersed.

Misha left, saying she had an appointment with one of her old colleagues, and Ainar headed for the Holy Land.

And…

“Whoops, now it’s just the two of us left?”

“I have a place to stop by, so go home first.”

“……to?”

Erwen, who had no special schedule, went home and went to the guild alone. There was no escort driver that I used to stick with every day.

Yes, everyone left at the end of last month.

Did the upper level give you an order to return?

‘At that time, I thought it was just that, but it must have been called for the battle against Noark.’

If the Noarks all escaped unharmed and were somewhere underground, I wondered if they would send the knights again… but I

decided not to expect much.

Still, one of the knights told me before leaving that they had a bond that lasted for a month.

[Please take care of yourself. If the assassins come again, the upper level judges that even then, it is more likely that it will be the work of a large clan rather than that of Noark.]

Apparently, the ‘deer horns’ escorting me seemed to think that the ‘assassination’ the clown said meant the work of a large clan. did.

Well, it’s already been almost a month since the Assassin said ‘soon’.

[But then, shouldn’t I be more protective of you? The target of the large clan is the royal family, right?]

[…You don’t have to worry about that part.]

Moreover, judging from the nuances of the speech, it seems that the royal family has completed all preparations to prevent the large clan from starting a public opinion war again without harm. did.

So you don’t have to protect me anymore.

‘Well, there are parts of me that are more comfortable without me.’

As I was moving while properly organizing my thoughts, I arrived at the Explorers Guild before I knew it. However, there is no need to take a numbered ticket and wait like before. In the first place

, there are not

many explorers…….

Yes, it is a title of nobility that I have obtained at most, so I should enjoy the benefits in this way.

“Not as the branch manager, but as the regional chief.”

The employee asked if he had made a prior appointment, but he suppressed it with the power of a nobleman.

“Are you traitors?”

A barbarian who can’t communicate and a noble who doesn’t want to listen.

It’s called the Barbarian Noblesse Mode.

“……I’ll see you soon.”

Soon after I went up to the 4th floor, the staff knocked to announce my visit, and soon a loud sigh was heard from inside and the door opened.

I immediately went inside and sat down on the sofa.

Then he put his foot on the table and spoke arrogantly.

“greeting.”

“…….”

“Isn’t it?”

As soon as I finished my words, the regional manager, who was supposed to be working at the desk, stood up and greeted me.

“Yandel… Baron… are you here…”

Isn’t it time to get used to that?

“Yes, sit down.”

Only then did the district manager sit across from me when I allowed him to sit down. It’s happened several times already, but it’s still thrilling.

Is this the true taste of power?

“……What are you doing today?”

Nile Urbans, the 7th district leader of the Explorers Guild.

The guy who had a bad relationship with me from the past asks me in a polite tone unlike the past.

Of course, it wasn’t like this from the beginning.

Originally, he tried to match me by using the lower body language, but when I went into a fit of rage, asking if I was insulting the nobility, I ended up using this tone.

“I came to check if there are any explorers who responded to the recruitment announcement.”

“That’s enough in the branch manager’s office below…”

What else did this man say?

The reason I have to come to District 7 Headquarters is because of you.

“To the nobles… talk back?”

“……I’ll check it soon.”

“There may be mistakes like in the past, so do it yourself. Don’t make people do it.”

“Yes……”

After that, the local chief headed down to do what I ordered, and I waited while chewing on the snacks that were provided on the table.

How long has it been since then?

“Here it is.”

The district chief came back up with some papers in his hand.

I quickly snatched it up and read it without saying that I had a hard time, and there was not much difference from when I came two days ago.

“There was only one more applicant, but even that one person is not good.”

“sorry.”

“It’s nothing for you to apologize for.”

Showing generosity as a superior from time to time, I read the document again. Exactly 31 explorers have applied for the colleague recruitment announcement posted a few days ago.

Contrary to expectations, there were fewer applicants.

This is because the number of explorers who want to enter the labyrinth is small these days.

‘Still, the clans were so shattered that I thought they would support more than this.’

I put the papers down and put the regret behind me.

Although it was on paper, there were no explorers who could make it to the interview stage.

I haven’t seen the ‘special job group’ I’ve been looking for yet.

After all, do we have no choice but to wait endlessly?

“By the way…”

“Don’t drag on and tell me.”

“Do you have a special job group you want?”

“There’s no such thing, just good ability. But why?”

“It was because I saw a famous name among the applicants’ names.”

Afterward, the regional director spoke of how capable, faithful, and promising the explorer was.

Apparently, he hoped that he would quickly find me a colleague and stop coming.

But…

“Stop!!”

I threw the papers on the floor and ran out of the district manager’s office.

No matter how good the specs are.

“You just do what I tell you to do!”

Are you crazy to have Hans on your team?

***

Close to two weeks have passed since the fire broke out. So far, I have been able to organize my work into a few things.

The temple’s public achievement is laborious.

Stop by the Holy Land and fight with the tribal chief.

Wander around Commelby, a commercial city, and check prices.

Then, go to the guild every three days to relieve stress by pecking at the regional leader.

I had some productive schedules, but there was no immediate result.

The currency value seems to continue to rise for a while, so keep it for now.

‘I think it will take another two or three months for priests to reach the minimum public value……’

The same goes for recruiting colleagues.

There is no sign of special occupations that are essential on the 6th floor, and there are no suitable people for the remaining two positions to fill the 10 people.

‘In the end, if the labyrinth is opened before that, is it only possible for the six of us to climb it?’

that’s a bit disappointing.

Usually, when dividing a team into two or more teams, they meet on the 5th floor.

This is because when the number of people exceeds 5 people, a considerable amount of time is taken away from passing the 4th floor.

A painful loss for an explorer for whom time is money.

‘……But there are still a lot of things that are uneasy about going up in three groups. It would be right to just meet on the second floor and go up safely.’

Of course, this is a bit premature.

After all, if the entrance to the labyrinth is delayed for a few more months, everything will be meaningless. The important thing is when the situation stabilizes again.

‘If I do well, I might find out today.’

The 15th when Ghostbusters opens.

I headed to the Holy Land, preparing to enter the community from the morning.

Because this time I just can’t get in.

‘GM.’

The GM is suspicious of me as an evil spirit.

It is highly likely that GM will aim for today.

Obviously, if I were a guy, I would have done that.

12 hours spent in the community.

In other words, 12 seconds in real life.

I always thought, but this short moment is a very big weakness for community users.

Because you are blocked from reality for 12 seconds.

Since it won’t wake up even if it’s stabbed in the neck with a knife, it’s possible to tell if it’s a player or not if you use this moment well.

But…

‘It’s a bad idea not to go in.’

I decided to enter the community.

It was judged that there would be a lot of information to come out as there was a large incident between the royal family and Noark.

In addition, GM’s right-hand man, ‘Soul Queens’, also entered the round table as a rookie last time.

Due to the ‘investigator’ not attending, it may be possible to connect me and the investigator in the future.

‘… is that a bit of a leap?’

Anyway, the point is this.

It’s called life history ubiquitous.

It is unknown whether the GM will aim for that 12 seconds and try to confirm it, but there is no reason not to prepare.

“Bjorn called me?”

“Oh, I have a favor to ask you.”

“ask?”

“Would you like to try this on your face?”

Arriving at the Holy Land, I called Charon and handed over the ‘Golden Mask’, a hidden item obtained from the Crimson Fortress.

“What is this? I like it because it’s shiny…”

“It’s a magic tool that changes your face for 30 days.”

“Huh? But why do you do that to me?”

“Because you have the most similar body type to me.”

Afterwards, I asked Charon to drink in the city with my face on until tomorrow morning.

“It’s not a difficult request, so why bother?”

“I have a place to go without my colleagues secretly for a while in the middle of the night.”

“…It seems that the beastman doesn’t understand you well.”

huh? Why is Suin suddenly appearing here?

I wanted to know what he meant, but I immediately understood what he said.

“It’s a warrior’s instinct to want to have children. Is that why you came to the Holy Land today?”

I thought for a moment and nodded.

Come to think of it, it seemed like this would be a much better way to keep a secret than the excuse I had prepared.

“Anyway, don’t worry about this! I’ll do my best so that even if that beast woman comes, I won’t doubt it!”

No, when he comes, he will definitely take it.

So I just told her to go out and have a drink all night.

“I believe. You are the wisest warrior after me.”

“Yeah, so you thought of me that way too?! I’m glad!”

Afterwards, after notifying me about the precautions and the movement line, I put on my equipment and sent Charon, who had changed into me, to the city.

And…

?The character used the ‘Golden Mask’.? ?The character’s

appearance

changes for 30 days.?

That’s because I stand out when I’m in the holy ground with my face.

If there were eyewitness accounts from both places, everything I did today would be meaningless.

‘I’ll have to go back to the city for now.’

If I was in the Holy Land, Charon’s acquaintances might find out my identity, so I quickly put on Charon’s equipment and got out of the bush and headed to the city.

And I got a random lodging and locked myself in my room.

How long has it been since then?

“The character’s soul resonates and is drawn to a specific world.”

After that, I hope I don’t have a strange accident with my face.
