Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 268

Episode 268 Parune Island (2)

Lairin Ershina, a regular priest of the Tovera Church.

The whole story of what she said was as follows.

“We were exploring the center of the island when an unknown team suddenly attacked us.”

There was an ambush.

A team of five people.

Each one was a strong man with at least a 7th-level weapon, and they were on the verge of annihilation before they could even fight properly.

Losing the wizard was the biggest factor.

From what I’ve heard, it seems like they fought hard even in such bad conditions…

“The situation continued to get worse, and in the end, Drows-sama, who was worse off, made a decision.”

Finally, one of the team members made a decision.

To sacrifice himself to save his comrades.

However, the feeling was distinctly different from the time of Dwalki.

“…So you guys ran away while your comrades were buying time?”

When I asked as if I wasn’t praying, the priestesses blushed and made an excuse.

“I was against it. I’ve said many times that I could never leave it alone—”

What did this woman say.

If you really disagreed with your heart, you wouldn’t have met me here.

“Stop. Now that the explanation is over, just talk about the point. What happened after that?”

“…I don’t know what happened to Drows-sama, but soon a pursuer came along. As a result, I was separated from the other colleagues.”

Somehow, my colleagues went somewhere and the priest was running around all alone.

Now I know the rough situation.

So now it’s time to focus on the details.

yes, from this one.

“By the way, who are you talking about?”

“Guardweaver Drowse. The blonde-haired swordsman who saved you that day and gave you the potion.”

Oh, so his name was Drows.

It was the name of a blonde I only learned about after more than a year, but there was no time to feel the aftertaste.

“What kind of guys were those who said they attacked? Tell me in detail.”

Soon, I inquired about the unidentified 5-member team, and the priestess told me everything as far as I could remember.

Abilities and impressions revealed during battle.

And even the names they call each other.

Thinking that this information could save me, I listened attentively without missing anything, but at one point I froze in a daze.

“Wait a minute, the red-haired woman?”

It was because the impression of one person resembled someone I knew.

“Yes. The woman seemed to be the leader of their group. But what’s the matter…?”

Nimiral, of course, has a problem.

The weapon used is a dagger, and how many human women caught using an aura are in this city.

Even the location of the tattoo and the fact that the right ear had been cut in half were consistent.

It’s just that it’s not even possible to be a similar person.

‘……Amelia Laneways is this woman again?’

Anguish came from deep within his chest.

That’s right, Amelia is from Noark.

It is highly likely that the other four people who are now together are also from there.

To put it simply…

‘First of all, it’s not a simple looting incident.’

I think I’ve gotten myself into some real trouble.

As I unknowingly let out a sigh, the priestess looked at me and asked cautiously.

“…Do you know anything about her?”

“perhaps.”

After blurting it out with a voice I didn’t have in mind, I asked a few more questions.

“This part is okay, so let’s continue what we were talking about. Was there anything special about Ersina and them?”

“Singularity…”

“Something was a little strange. Do you have any clue as to why they attacked you?”

“That’s…”

The priestess blurted out her words for a long time, then continued after thinking for a while.

“At the time, I didn’t think deeply because I wasn’t in a hurry, but now that I think about it, there’s something strange about it.”

“Don’t drag on, get to the point.”

“This is what Drows-nim said while trying to pass the time. He said it was my responsibility and that there was no reason for us to get involved, so he told us to go

. do.”

“Yes. Besides, it seemed like he knew the people who did the ambush. During the first ambush, he said something incomprehensible to Drows-sama, saying that he was a traitor, so he had to give up something…” What

?

“Why are you saying that now?”

Anyone can see that this was the cause of the attack?

As I looked at it as if I was bewildered, the voice of the priestess changed like that of an ant crawling.

“At that time, I was too distracted…”

The goddess’s stuffy side, anyway.

Gradually, the situation is drawn in my mind.

[At Noark, just before the blockade, I sent a few people up to the surface. The goal is to kill one explorer! Isn’t it surprising?]

According to what the clown said at the Round Table the other day, Amelia and a few infiltrators were assigned an assassination mission.

Of course, I didn’t know who the target was until now.

But…

‘Maybe the target was this guy.’

Then what the hell is a guy called Drows doing?

It was a moment when I was thinking about this.

“But Yandel-nim

is……” “A baronet.”

“Ah yes…… Anyway, why is Baron Yandel alone in a place like this?”

The priestess, who had been answering all along, asked for the first time.

It seems that I became suspicious of the situation I was in belatedly.

“As I was about to leave the island, the boat sank and I was separated from my companions.”

“yes?”

what are you

It means the two of us will have to work together for a while.

***

“Let’s talk while moving.”

“Yes? What do you mean… Are you sure you’re going inside?”

“Right before parting with my colleagues, I promised to meet them at the center when they dispersed.”

“That’s right. But over there…”

At my words, the priestess made her eyes full of reluctance.

It’s clear what you’re thinking.

It’s like going into a tiger’s den.

But isn’t it the same for him who broke up with his colleagues?

‘I’m just worried about the kid called the priest.’

“If you don’t like it, don’t. I’ll go alone.”

Instead of polite persuasion, I spoke strongly, and the priestess had no choice but to follow my opinion.

Even so, what would the priest do alone?

There are no boats in the water, and even if there are boats, the sea is in that state.

“…But do you know why it’s so windy? It’s like a sudden storm has started to come.”

Well that’s what I want to ask.

“I don’t know, but monsters are gathering from the shore.”

“……okay.”

It’s as much a question to me as what the drows were doing.

I know there was an ambush.

But who triggered the island’s event and why?

Anyone who knew the triggering conditions would have known how dangerous this was.

‘I’ll find out later.’

Like it or not, I am trapped on this island.

Either Amelia or her colleagues will meet eventually.

‘For now, let’s just focus on joining our colleagues.’

I shook off my bad thoughts as much as possible and moved into the island with the priestess.

At first, I was in the lead and the priestess followed behind, but…

“This will take a few hours. Come here.”

Because of the problem that the movement speed was too slow, from the middle, I ran with the goddess crown on my back.

The monsters encountered along the way were not a problem.

Anyway, if I’m alone, I’ll be safe even if I pass by naked…

Because priests have this skill.

?Laylin Ersina has cast [Inviolable].?

A buff-type divine spell that only prevents monsters below level 7 from attacking first.

It was a bit funny.

One of the three churches located in Lapdonia, the Church of Tovera has a unique rule.

It was a damn rule that divine power should not be used against barbarians.

‘That god is petty.’

Did one of the barbarians get drunk thousands of years ago and pee on Tobera’s statue?

As far as I know, it was a discipline that came about after that history.

Maybe it was because of that rule that he didn’t treat me when I was crawling in a cave on three legs.

“Does the sun god understand breaking the rules at a time like this?”

“I understand Yandel-sama’s feelings, but will you please refrain from insulting him?”

When I was sarcastic, the priestess also responded with a slightly sharp tone.

“……Breaking the rules is my own problem. If you need to blame me, blame me.”

It’s hard to color.

“There’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean to blame.”

Cancer You have to write to live.

No matter how excited you are, you wouldn’t want to go see me this early, right?

“If what happened then was a wound… I apologize. But the reason I insisted on discipline that day was because it was a situation that could be resolved with a potion, and I really didn’t intend to ignore it.”

Well, that’s why it seems to be loosening up a bit.

“I understand your situation.”

I answered briefly and brushed off any sediment that might have remained.

What will the individual do with what the group decides?

“Anyway, let’s stop talking about this. It’s not that important right now.”

“yes.”

The small talk stopped at that point and focused on moving.

And how long has it been?

“Hey. Here, the marauders are us…”

“……Be quiet.”

Soon we arrived at the center of the island we were aiming for.

There was nothing around.

There were only traces of a battle that had passed a little while.

“……For now, I guess I can reap the divine power.”

First of all, the sacred spell of the goddess was terminated.

And slowly searched around.

I was the first to arrive, so there were no colleagues who were there first.

“There’s really no one there…….”

Not only Drows, the team’s leader who chose to sacrifice himself, but also the body of the magician who was said to have been attacked as the ambush begins.

What really happened here?

“Then what are you going to do now?”

Soon, I answered the priestess’s question without hesitation.

“Wait. Until someone, whether an enemy or a friend, comes here.”

“Yes, I see. I see.”

Contrary to my expectations, the priestess did not vomit and accepted my decision. So I asked why, and this answer came back.

“Because I also have to meet up with my colleagues.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it impossible to get out of the island anyway? If my companions who ran away ran into Yandel-sama’s companions on the shore, it’s likely that they’re on their way here by now.”

Yes, you, too, thought about that and followed me.

“Ersina, aren’t you afraid that all your colleagues are dead?”

I casually asked a question, and the goddess answered.

“Of course I am afraid. But the more

you do it,

the more you

have no choice but to believe it .”

Oh, he was a priest

. I hope everyone is safe…….’

All

I

could do now was this

much

. ”

Misha Karlstein opened his eyes, regurgitating the sea water in his stomach.

Then he hurriedly checked his surroundings.

“Ah Einar!”

My heart sank.

That’s right, after the ship went aground, Einar was the one who stayed by my side until the very end. I somehow managed to hold onto Einar, who couldn’t swim, in the rough turbulence, but I

started to have all

sorts

of uneasy thoughts.

Will Einar be okay?

When I meet Bjorn later What do you say?

No, in the first place, Bjorn…

slap-!

Misha slapped both of his cheeks with both hands. Suddenly, he came to

his senses.

“Good idea, good idea…”

Didn’t you wake up right on the shore even though you lost your mind?

Everyone will be fine.

Yes, that’s why…

[If you’re scattered, come to the center of the island!!]

Misha recalled the last cry left by Bjorn, holding her hands and face. She brushed off the soil on her face

and walked slowly towards the forest.

It was at that time. It was

at that time that she

heard someone beside her.

“……Einar? Einarnyang?” I ran in the direction of the sound

and
soon came across a strange figure:

”

You.

”
