Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 445

Episode 445 Party (2)

As if killing oneself at the round table.

I look down at him with the momentum to rip his neck out at any moment. It was outside, not a community where mind and spirit were connected, but that was enough.

The thing that makes the eyes of the guy who was looking up fearlessly down.

“…….”

Yes, that’s how it should be.

If you were born into a direct lineage of an aristocratic family and grew up, when would you have experienced a situation like this?

“…….”

Silence flows without an answer coming back.

The nobles who are obsessed with scandal are just watching from afar.

If I, whom I considered lowly, is running rampant, I’m sure he’ll be there to help.

‘Because the barbarian is also a scammer.’

If I had been a fairy dwarf prisoner, there would surely have been people criticizing my rudeness.

At least you’ll think the words work.

What about a barbarian without a specimen?

The answer was in this silence.

“…….”

You can’t easily take action because there are no statistics.

Be wary of sparks flying out after you step out.

“……Is it okay if I leave it like that?”

In fact, even though someone expressed such concerns, as soon as our eyes met, they turned away.

Although common sense would not mobilize force in this place with numerous nobles just because their eyes met.

Still, there is no certainty.

I wonder if common sense will work for a barbarian who asks for a duel because he heard a little insulting words.

“I want you to answer soon.”

Saying that, I took one more step as he backed away.

“You don’t want to duel?”

In response, the nobles who had been chatting with him a while ago quietly stepped back. Then, in the end, did he decide that he had no choice but to overcome this situation on his own?

Soon the boy made a decision.

“… set a date.”

It was not a decision he made because he was confident of winning the duel.

There just wouldn’t be a choice.

So, in front of everyone watching, rejecting the duel request from a different race that was ridiculed for being vulgar? It is tantamount to a death sentence in this industry where people live on face.

“Looking at the deadline, I guess you don’t have the guts to fight yourself?”

“…There is a separate sword for killing animals.”

He said it nicely, but since he was afraid to fight directly, he meant that he would appoint an agent for the duel.

“It doesn’t matter, but if possible, prepare several people.”

“……Several people?”

What is that face that you don’t understand?

Did you think it would end after doing it once?

“Oh, didn’t you know? I will challenge you to a duel over and over again from today. Until I feel that my honor that you tarnished has been restored.”

A mad dog must not let go once it bites.

“……What?”

I shouldn’t have been careful about that.

Or maybe your stomach is full.

Then I would have asked for another child.

“You… can you really handle it…?”

To interpret it, it was an earnest question that I really had to go that far. Heck, from this guy’s point of view, it must have felt like being struck by lightning from a dry sky.

“You sound strange. Can you handle it?”

I spoke clearly for all to hear.

“Do I look like someone who cares about that?”

If you don’t want to get bitten too, be careful in the future.

***

That’s how the duel was established.

All that remains now is to set the date.

“I think I’ll be fine this week.”

“…….”

“Why do I need more time to call someone?”

“No, that’s enough.”

Have you been able to adapt to this unusual situation?

The baron no longer dragged out an answer like an idiot.

It must have been calculated in my head to some extent.

‘Do you think it might be an opportunity?’

A savage who dares to act vulgarly without even knowing the subject.

And he accepts such a savage duel, wins gracefully, and protects the dignity of a nobleman.

Isn’t that a pretty plausible future?

Of course, that won’t happen.

‘At best, I’ll use my personal connections to recruit a few articles that make a name for themselves.’

I can’t even guess exactly what the level of the proxy duelist will be.

But even so, I am confident.

Because there would be no leader of the Royal Knights who would act as the baron’s dueling agent.

I am confident that I can beat all other players in that class.

But…

“How about doing that?”

Unfortunately, someone intervened then.

‘Duke Kealunus.’

He passed me through the crowd, which split like the Red Sea, and then tapped me on the shoulder.

It’s like teasing and comforting a crying child.

“Isn’t it a nice day?”

“…….”

“At this point, you’re welcome. Aren’t we all pillars that hold up this kingdom?”

The political intentions of the Duke at exactly this time were clear.

A situation that no one was willing to step into.

But as soon as he came out, the savage who was rampaging calms down his excitement and breaks his will?

To that extent, Duke Kealunus’ position in the aristocratic world rose.

But…

‘let’s be friends?’

The relationship between friends is that if you don’t know what to give, if you just receive it, you will lose money right away.

If you ask for something from me, you must give something too.

“Baron Cypriot insulted me.”

The corners of the Duke’s mouth hardened as he raised a head-on rebellion.

Like it or not, I continued.

“He called me a mongrel and beastly.”

Actually, this is what the guy next to me said, but anyway.

“The Liribian baron I was talking to was treated as a prostitute because she was of a different race, and when I protested, he scoffed at me, asking if I had the honor to be humiliated.”

They even mocked me asking if I could write, but if I said even this, it seems too small, so I pass.

“Now this is what Baron Cypriot did. On that fine day you spoke of, Duke.”

After announcing the reason for my request for a duel in front of everyone, I asked again.

“But is there any reason why I should be patient?”

At that question, the Duke’s gaze turned to the Baron.

He looked at the situation, but he didn’t seem to be aware of the detailed cause…

“Tsk.”

The duke clicked his tongue briefly as he looked at the baron, and soon looked at me again. He seemed to regret that he had stepped forward for nothing, but since he intervened in the incident, the duke had two options.

Even though it came out nicely, it couldn’t solve anything and went back to life.

Otherwise…

“Baron Kipriot must have made a mistake.”

give me something too

The Duke’s judgment was quick and bold.

“Duke Bon promises me instead. There will be no mistakes like this in the future. Not just today, but anywhere else.”

A promise made in the name of Duke Kealunus.

“Isn’t that right, Baron Cypriot?”

Soon after, the baron immediately answered with a shudder.

“Yes yes… Of course, Duke.”

Even to me, it wasn’t empty talk to get out of the situation. In fact, the baron won’t be able to do anything like today. No, not only him, but other nobles as well.

Because the duke’s promise had that much weight.

If this happens again, it would be tantamount to tarnishing the duke’s name.

‘It’s a bit unfortunate that I couldn’t make it to the duel, but… there will be another opportunity for this later.’

I made a quick decision.

Isn’t it a situation where the duke took a step back?

“Now then, can you relieve your anger at this point?”

If you refuse even this offer, it will be no different from just pretending.

“I haven’t even heard of an apology from Baron Kypriot yet. And even if I did, the honor that was insulted today won’t come back. But…”

I continued.

“I’ll end it here.”

“Huh…….”

At that, exclamation flowed from among the nobles.

“Because it’s a request from a friend, not from anyone else.”

“……!”

Their eyes widened at the words that followed.

***

Friends.

A word that means a friendly and equal relationship.

“…….”

The moment those words came out of my mouth, silence came to the Palace of Glory.

‘A barbarian and a duke are friends?’

The quiet air, as if waiting for clarification.

The duke, who narrowed his brow slightly in the silence, soon regained a warm smile and said,

“I’m glad that’s the case.”

A short word that neither denies nor affirms the word ‘friend’.

But even that was enough.

The rise of baron Yandel family, who had just risen and entered the Royal Club,

‘I made a profit unintentionally.’

Of course, the duke must have made enough political calculations before saying those words. Didn’t he even make a promise in the name of the family to cover up the mistake of a nobleman?

Rather, it would have been thought that raising my rank would less damage the dignity of the ducal family.

“Then, soon, the duke has official duties, so I’m going to go away. I’ll set a date later and call it separately. Oh, and I sincerely congratulate you on your victory.”

Afterwards, the Duke left alone in front of all the horses promising to meet later.

‘If you do it this far, it’s burdensome…’

But the results weren’t bad.

Because I felt that the gaze itself that scans me has changed dramatically.

“…I guess he wasn’t someone who became an aristocrat simply because he was lucky.”

“Couldn’t it be… that the reason the victory was approved this time was because the duke put in his best…?”

Curiosity began to dwell in the eyes that seemed to be looking down.

That was a good sign.

Even if you do this and that, in the end, you have to get a lot of people’s attention, so the marquis won’t be frivolous, right?

Therefore, after giving only a warning to Baron Kipriot that there would be no next time, he returned to his original position.

The rabbit baron was standing blankly at the table, staring at me.

“I don’t even have to stand up to greet you.”

“……”

“……Baron of Libya?”

As I said that and waved my hand in front of my eyes, the rabbit baron approached me as if I had finally come to my senses.

Then, in a small voice, he fired quickly.

“Why did you do that…!”

“…….”

“The duke came forward, so if it hadn’t been a mess, I would have been greatly disappointed.”

This house is not treated well as a tanker.

Isn’t that the first thing you said about suffering?

“It ended well, though.”

“……?”

“Discrimination won’t disappear with the duke’s promise, but there won’t be any gossip behind your back in the future.”

as you wished

As soon as he added words like that, the rabbit baron’s expression changed strangely.

“You…really for that one reason…?”

“Then do you need a reason otherwise?”

“It was too reckless. If the Duke hadn’t stepped up, there might have been a case where he couldn’t have saved the baron even in Melves…!”

That was a bit embarrassing.

If that’s the case, don’t you think all of my credit is luck?

“Well, I don’t really think so.”

“…Of course, at least I value Baron Yandel highly. But not all families in Melves are like that. In the midst of just trying to solidify his position, he could have judged that it wasn’t worth recruiting even while incurring the antipathy of the nobles—”

“Enough.”

The alumnus replied

. I didn’t mean that

. ”

“……Yes?”

“The same goes for the duke. Even if the duke hadn’t stepped in in the first place, the result wouldn’t have changed.”

“……?”

I kindly explained to the rabbit baron who didn’t seem to understand what I was saying.

“Didn’t you say that? Be the person you need.”

“…….”

“That’s why I applied for a duel. Because there needs to be at least one guy like me so others can’t mess around. Ah, as an example, Baron Kypriot was perfect. The family itself isn’t too bad, and it’s not like I have a strong stomach.”

“Wait a minute! Does Baron… mean you just calculated and moved it all?”

“At least,”

I nodded, and the rabbit baron, aghast, asked if there was one question

. What does that have to do with that?”

Oh that?

“When you asked me to pass it through one ear earlier, when I asked why, you said there was no way.”

At that time, I could see at a

glance .

Exactly what only the main tanker who has been through has been able to recognize

. There is a way in any situation.”

I said firmly.

“If you can’t see a way in a situation full of enemies, it’s just that you don’t have

one . ” After I finished

,

Baron Rabbit didn’t say anything. But I could tell from

his expression

.

Cancer, my value is my own.

***

After that, I had a conversation with the rabbit baron.

She asked me about this and that, like a person who was very impressed, and I sold drugs under the guise of a door-to-door salesperson.

And as time went on.

” The baron is right…….”

The rabbit baron’s face also changed little by little.

“What has changed since you endured and endured? During that long, long time, at least… if you had taken one step at a time! The result would have been different from now!”

There were no more innocent herbivores.

There was only one fierce beast full of determination

. Don’t worry Baron Yandel. I will take responsibility for the guild’s sponsorship and obtain approval. We, Melves, need people like you.”

After that, Baron Rabbit left the table.

Looking back, he suddenly had an idea.

Should he hide his teeth or expose them

? Wasn’t that the starting point of the change in mindset?

‘This is why the environment is so important.’

Is it because he’s a rabbit? He’s exceptionally hard of hearing.

Anyway, after she left, I sat at an empty table and continued the meal, which had been interrupted for a while, when the nobles started talking to me one by one

. From what I’ve heard, it’s worth a duel.”

“Yes, when I heard the circumstances, I was really stunned.” ”

Tsk, what’s the time these days to disdain heterogeneous people?”

It was funny how they changed their stance whenever they treated invisible barbarians. I pretended not to know and socialized with them.

From now on, networking is also an asset.

“Haha, thank you everyone. If you invite me sometime, I’ll go play.”

“Oh is that so? I heard that you haven’t been seen since the banquet held at Count Ferdehild’s house.”

“I didn’t know you at the time, but aren’t you friends now?”

“…Friends? Hahaha! Are you sure you’re hot because you’re from an explorer? yes let’s do it Friend!” Anyway, among those who came with this feeling, Count Ferdehild was among them, and he

expressed regret for not being able to marry me and his daughter before.

My daughter would have really liked it…….”

What did she like?

Even then, she was forcibly dragged out and trembling when she saw me.

“Haha, then I’ll leave. I’ll invite you next time, so don’t pretend you don’t know!”

Even after Count Ferdehild was sent away like that, I made a friendly statement with various nobles.

It was at that time.

‘…… Huh?’ A middle-aged baron shook my hand and shook my hand with a note

,

then cast a coy glance and disappeared. I

got goose bumps .

I didn’t know, so I quickly went to the bathroom and read it by myself. After

reading the contents, I was very fortunate that I didn’t tear it up.

[I’ll be waiting for you at the place where we first met in three days—your real friend.]

So,

has one of the side quests of the Seungjak Ceremony been completed

?

I shredded the note, swallowed it with tap water, and left the bathroom.
