Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 40

Episode 40 Guild (5)

“What do you mean, wizard? No matter how familiar you are, if you cover it like that…”

The investigator opened his mouth in embarrassment.

A voice closer to wanting to turn away from the truth rather than disbelief.

However, her reaction was harsh.

“Are you saying I’m lying?”

“Oh no, that’s not what I just said…….”

“Or what the heck is it? After investigating the explorers with the power of a rat’s tail, even wizards look ridiculous now, right?”

Wizards of the Mage Tower are more like semi-nobles.

Although there are many schools, they are largely united as one group and thoroughly protect their own interests.

Anyway, the problem starts with the fact that the youngest employee, the investigator, dared to doubt the true intentions of the words.

The branch manager, who couldn’t see it, cautiously embraced it.

“Why don’t you stop? Even the wizard knows, but if you don’t know the situation, it’s bound to sound absurd.”

She nodded, as if acknowledging it.

“Certainly, there is no precedent for a vampire to be seen in a crack on the first floor.”

Unlike when dealing with the investigator, a kind smile hung on her lips.

Although it was only for a short time.

“Thank you for saying that—”

“But ever since the birth of the Labyrinth, it’s still full of all sorts of unknowns. But that’s absurd? Isn’t that what the head of the Explorers’ Guild would say?”

A sharp criticism poured out over time.

Is this really a wizard?

Even the position of branch manager of the guild did not seem to be in her mind.

“…….”

It was the moment when the head of the branch, who was unable to make ends meet after stepping out like that, shut his mouth tightly.

smart.

A knock was heard.

It was not a knock on request.

Before anyone could give permission to come in, the door burst open.

“Are you that barbarian?”

“Who is it?”

“It’s called Nile Urbans.”

Two men entered the room.

A middle-aged man with an impressive neat tuxedo and a young man who seems to be escorting him.

“Local Manager Ji!”

“father……?”

Julian and the branch manager, who were held hostage, open their mouths at the same time.

I also tightened the tension that had been released.

‘…After all, they came to the regional chief.’

The guild’s operating system is simple.

Each of the hundreds of branches in the city has a branch manager and 13 regional heads who supervise them.

Since the only higher level is ‘Guild Leader’, in fact, the 13 regional leaders can be regarded as the second-in-command of the guild.

There is no doubt that he is a tycoon that is difficult to even see from afar as a 9th-level explorer.

But even for them, the world doesn’t go their own way.

“Did you do something that wasn’t even funny?”

Feeling the displeasure in the local chief’s gaze, I smiled.

It’s

not even funny…

If only Hearts Young hadn’t given false testimony.

Even so, if the investigators were not greedy and handled the work properly.

No, if the Explorers Guild had been a fair and fair group from the beginning and managed its employees well…

I probably wouldn’t have had to go through all this hard work.

But they didn’t.

“Because it must have been a very small thing for you guys.”

But I wasn’t.

For me, my life was at stake.

“Is that why you did such a crazy thing?”

“bedlam?”

I asked the opposite.

“Is it crazy to struggle to live?”

“Wouldn’t there be another way though? You’ve grown too much even if you’ve grown up.”

Another way is crap.

The branch manager didn’t even know I existed in his branch until he broke the barricade and arrived here.

And the same goes for this regional head, who would have had the will to change the guild’s internal rules so that he could investigate 9th grade explorers with only his heart.

“If you had done your job right, none of that would have happened.”

At the same time as muttering coldly with sarcasm.

“Hey! What kind of nonsense is that in front of the regional chief!”

The branch manager joins the conversation.

The young investigator and the escort of the local chief are also looking at each other with eyes wondering what kind of madman he is.

Well, to these guys, I’m no different.

One of the worst things that can’t be explained by common sense.

Soon after, the local chief sighed and shifted his gaze.

“What is the name of the wizard?”

“It’s Arua Raven.”

“I see, Ms. Raven. Would you sell the crystal ball to me for how much?”

An offer of appeasement with nothing more to look at.

I didn’t know you could do it so openly.

My heart skipped a beat at the moment…

“I will refuse that offer.”

“Sorry.”

“You wouldn’t think of trying to take it by force, would you?”

“Haha! There’s no way that would happen. If that’s the case, there’s no way the Master of the School of Girls would be alone.”

Soon, the local manager smiled cheerfully.

“Why is everyone so stiff? It was all a joke just now. There are so many people outside waiting for the results, how dare you?

Fuck the joke.

Cold sweat runs down my back.

“…….”

This is the first time I was trying to bring a priest in. It’s

‘image memory’ magic, and wizards are beings that can be bought as much as you want according to your own interests.

Maybe if you didn’t know her at all, if that’s why she was bought by the regional chief… ‘

The crowd gathered outside, or whatever, must have died here.’

Anyway, the result was not bad.

She kept her faith, so even the head of the district did not dare to bury the matter with power. In

other words, now I just need to prove that I am innocent.

No matter what, the end is near

. Why don’t you finish it soon?”

I went to the closet and woke Hearts Young who was asleep in it.

“What the hell, why am I here…”

I heard swallowing sounds from around me

.

The moment it is proven that he gave false testimony,

something really not funny will happen from their point of view.

***

“This man is lying.”

Raven spit out the words

. ” Then

what are you going to do now? District chief?”

“Did you say Bjorn Yandel? You are innocent.”

I replied, seeing the regional leader’s forced smile. ”

I can’t say thank you

.

”

“Then what do you want us to do now?”

“Of course. I demand punishment and compensation.”

“I see.”

The district chief nodded quietly as if tapping a calculator inwardly, then opened his mouth.

“First of all, the investigator in charge of you will be dismissed.”

“Chief Ji! I swear to the heavens that the only mistake I made was to investigate according to the rules…!”

“Are you trying to transfer your incompetence to the guild? There will be a thorough re-examination of all your judgments. And if there is even the slightest injustice in the process, you will be punished accordingly.” “

That can’t be!”

The arrogant investigator knelt down in contemplation

. It seems that he didn’t survive.

Well, looking at his past behavior, he wasn’t surprised.

“Please save me! Please…!”

‘Shouldn’t I be praying here instead of there?’

I thought the number was wrong, but I didn’t bother to say it out of my mouth. If I had been that way in the first place, I wouldn’t have come to this point. That’s what the

world is like.

No one regrets when they hit anyone.

Regret is always when you get the price back. ” Then

, what about Lee Ja?”

Another contributor to this case.

Looking at Hearts Young, the district chief answered without much hesitation.

“Lee Ja caused serious confusion in the investigation by giving false testimony to cover up his crimes. I’ll deal with it in the same way.”

“If so?”

“I’ll conduct a thorough investigation and put it on the execution ground.”

The words of the local chief carry that much weight.

The trial, let alone the investigation, is yet to begin, but in reality it’s like a death sentence.

” Oh no…….”

Soon after, Hearts Young rolled his eyes and fainted, but no one paid any attention. ”

I wish they would investigate the clan this guy belongs to.

” They were noisy with words like that. I’ll do as you say.”

The district manager readily agreed to my request.

I thought he was a pretty smart person.

It means that he was clearly aware that he had no choice but to give in to what he asked for.

“Then, was the punishment enough?

” …….”

As I stared at one place with my words blurred, the branch manager hurriedly averted my gaze.

I smiled and

nodded .

Thank you for giving me.”

There is nothing to be thankful for.

I plan to get this part in a different way .

Is there anything you want?”

“I’ll listen and decide.”

“First of all, I’ll raise your level to 7th

grade .

”

It’s crowded and there are many different benefits.

If I wasn’t level 9, the investigator wouldn’t have been so arrogant in the first place

. Raising a two-month-old explorer to 7th grade all at once!”

The branch manager added a comment, wondering if he was worried about future problems caused by equity issues, but the regional manager stubbornly shook his head.

“We’re apologizing right now. So please don’t disagree with me on this part.”

“…I understand.”

The attitude of the regional chief seemed like a politician sincerely apologizing.

Especially in the part where there was no substance.

“Wait a minute. It’s a little strange to hear it?”

I was about to open my mouth to say something, but Raven, who had been quiet, joined the conversation first. I wondered

what

she was going to say this time. didn’t care in the slightest.

“How can a grade upgrade be a reward? It’s just the guild’s job to raise the ranks and give benefits to explorers with abilities, right?” ”

But, as I just heard, this person—”

“Doesn’t have a long career? What does that have to do with it?”

“That’s unprecedented—”

“That’s unprecedented, of course.” After

interrupting the district chief several times, she continued with a rapid-fire gun.

“A vampire, a level 5 monster in two months. That’s because no explorer came back after eating the essence of the rift guardian.”

“…So what does Miss Raven want to say?”

“Well. It just seemed a bit ugly to be condescending while doing what I had to do.”

Soon after, she smiled at

me .

You can look at it.”

“…What do you want?”

Well, since you’ve gone through all this hard work, you must have something in return.

She wanted to ask for something.

As if she had waited, Raven’s mouth opened again.

“Of course, money. Is there anything else the Explorers Guild can do for you?”

If you search, there must be more.

Like receiving bond magic for free for life, or allowing you to post personal announcements on the bulletin board within the guild, etc.

There are only things that can be done.’

As I nodded in agreement, the district manager sighed and raised the white flag.

“How much will it be?”

Now, all I have to do is write down the amount on the blank check.

For some reason, feeling trustworthy from earlier, I looked at her.

The wizard’s rational judgment “I almost killed an explorer with a bright future by mistake…”

She

blurted out her words .

“Shouldn’t we get at least 5 million stones?”

The regional head nodded without hesitation.

”

…That’s good, I’ll pay.”

I wasn’t too surprised.

If it’s 5 million stones, it’s a lot more than the maximum I expected. …….

‘That’s what I said when I asked for it.’

Perhaps without Raven, the transaction wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

Is this really the power of identity?

Deep down, I realized the power and wondered how to repay the help I received today.

Raven opened her mouth again.

“Oh, my hard work costs 100. It’s 10,000 stones.”

“A lot of money? What does that mean? As for the application fee, the amount agreed upon with the Mage Tower—”

“Including the value of this crystal ball where the joke the regional director made earlier is recorded. No matter how much you said it was a joke…Still, I think there will be quite a few people who want to own this crystal ball if you look for it?” “…

Hahaha, the lady is joking.” ”

Isn’t it a joke ?”

However, the time to think about it was not long.

”

I’m sure……”

Soon after, the regional manager shook his head.

In a way, it’s like a million stones were blown away by one mistake he made earlier

.’… .I don’t think there’s any need to pay for the labor.’

Is this a family of wizards?

As I was admiring the woman who took care of her own food in an instant, her voice resonated in my

head .

I thought,

if possible, we should stay close to each other in the future.
