Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Chapter 730

Episode 730: Traitor (4)

inspiration.

A novel idea or stimulus that serves as an opportunity for creative work.

“Good idea…? “What is it?”

I grinned as I looked at Raven asking as if she was somewhat anxious.

Just as in the case of a philosopher who said Eureka, it all started with stepping into the bathtub, these inspirations come to you suddenly at some unexpected moment.

Like right now.

[Tour Piare Boismine Yandel Harfu.]

“Arsonist in Area 8 requests assistance from Yandel.”

The goal is simple.

By attracting aggro, Amelia in area 4 can run away more easily.

And in a way, the act of attracting aggro was an area of ??confidence not only for Bjorn Yandel but also for ‘Lee Hansu’.

Is this something that all ordinary men in Korea who have been involved in gaming since their teens and 20s have?

[Tua no tekai jiganu remgak.]

“No access to point 8-2. Support troops moving in.”

Besides, this isn’t the first time.

Of course, now that my body is feeling better, the headaches have lessened. In those days when I was weak enough to collapse when the wind blew, I had to draw aggro by using the knowledge of ‘Lee Han-soo’ that I could use.

Okay, so…

“Vivian.”

I checked one last time.

“Maybe we can send that radio?”

“yes. “The more attention it attracts, the more likely it is that my line will be blocked.”

Yes, it works too, right?

I was worried that they might say no, but even the last obstacle disappeared.

“So… what should I send?”

Vivien asked as if she was curious about my ‘good idea’, and then I said,

“You will know when you hear it.”

“…yes?”

“From now on, translate what I say into a code. “There is no mistake whatsoever.”

“ah! wait a minute!”

Afterwards, Vivien touched the crystal ball as if making adjustments and said that preparations were complete.

Therefore, now it is my turn to convey my words to all the commanders in Noark.

“Ricardo Lüchenprague.”

I continued speaking slowly.

“mom.”

“…to?”

“doesn’t exist.”

It’s time to go back to basics.

***

Chijijiji-!

Several radio signals came and went from the communication crystal ball strapped to his waist, but the man just ignored them and ignored them.

[The arsonist in Area 8 requests Yandel assistance.]

In District 8, ‘that guy’ appears and is making a fuss.

[No access to point 8-2. Support troops on standby.]

Although the situation looks quite serious.

Tadat-!

It was none of his business.

To begin with, District 4 is quite far away from District 8.

As long as they weren’t singling out me and asking for support, I was going to leave it to them to figure it out.

Yes, it definitely was like that.

[Ricardo Lüchenprague.]

Until I heard a familiar female voice.

‘Lyranne Vivien…?’

As soon as I heard it, I knew whose voice it was.

That’s because he was the one who personally took a young girl who was full of poison in the world and raised her until she received the nickname ‘Screaming Witch’.

‘She from District 8 is calling me…’

I think it’s a request for support.

‘Is this a life-threatening situation?’

That’s what I thought, but even if that thought was right, I couldn’t apply.

Because there is war now.

Also, the reason we gathered everyone together to create ‘Orculis’ in the first place was for today.

[Oh mom…]

…Even if the situation is urgent enough to find your mother, nothing will change.

Tadat-!

Because there is something more important than that right now.

It would be best to ignore this request and pretend not to hear it.

[Uh, none…!!]

…?

“….”

For a moment, the thought stops and my feet stop for a moment.

However, thinking that I had heard something wrong or that the other side had said something in vain, I quickly moved my feet where I had stopped again.

However, it didn’t take long for the feet to stop again.

That’s because the voice started flowing again.

[Li Ricardo Lüchenprague! No mom!]

The radio repeated once more as if I hadn’t heard anything wrong.

The man was truly confused by this experience, which he had experienced for the first time in his life.

What kind of situation is this?

I couldn’t understand anything, but the radio continued.

[The Rose Knights….]

“….”

[Now catch and kill! So no mom!]

The content was so shocking that it felt unrealistic, but at the same time, it left my head cold.

Because I had that level of insight.

‘…I’m taking orders from someone.’

Lyrane Vivien didn’t send the radio because she wanted to.

There is a high probability that he has been captured by someone and is being forced to send radio signals like this.

However, the problem is different.

‘…Who is it?’

Who on earth is sending this radio and for what reason, and how on earth does that person know the origins between themselves and the Rose Knights?

I’m sure it’s a story that few people know.

Tuk.

The priorities changed in the man’s mind.

Although it is important enough to chase down a woman who is Bjorn Yandel’s colleague and uses auras very similar to those of the Rose Knights.

“Captain…?”

“I’ll leave it to you to chase down Emily Raines.”

“Oh yeah…!”

The man decided to leave the chase to other subordinates for a while, stopped and took out a crystal ball.

[Ricardo Lüchenprague Feature 1: Smaller than the corpse collector!]

There was only one way to find out who the guy who told Vivien to tell such nonsense was.

Try talking directly.

[…Who are you?]

The man spoke lowly while activating the crystal ball.

The only answer that came back was ridicule.

[Ricardo Lüchenprague Feature 2 Even if you say so, it’s not scary at all, but there’s no weight or noise!]

Perhaps it was inconvenient to translate it into a secret phrase, but now the secret phrase is omitted and the taunt continues in Lapdonian.

For some reason, a person flashed through my mind.

Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.

Abed Nekrapetto, the corpse collector.

Maan Roland Vanozantdo.

The very person who advised ‘watch your mouth’ as ??if everyone who had experienced it first-hand agreed.

“Bjorn Jandel….”

If it’s really that guy, his behavior is understandable.

Because he was chasing his colleague at the time.

If internal information was leaked and the person who heard it did this to attract attention, it would be a sufficient explanation…

‘If that’s the case… how do you know what happened between the Rose Knights and me?’

Because he didn’t know, the man held the crystal ball once again.

[Ricardo Lüchenprague Feature 3 I was so shaken that I couldn’t say anything!]

Even at this moment, the ridicule was continuing, but the man was unconcerned.

If anything, he was much more calm than usual.

It’s just that after running for the first time in a long time, I was breathing heavily and my body was shaking.

[…Where are you?]

I soon asked one more time to confirm who the other person was, and fortunately, the answer came back immediately.

This time it wasn’t even Vivien’s voice.

[Area 8.]

A deep voice that reminds me of a stocky body even when I just listen to it.

[If you ask me to come, I will come.]

Not only that he is a man, but also that it is District 8 where Yandel was seen.

‘As expected, my prediction was correct.’

Of course, even at this moment, it felt absurd.

[Ricardo Lüchenprague Feature 4: I just asked where it was and was too scared to come.]

How can you tell that these are the words of a city hero, the leader of a race, and a man who wears the title of baron?

It is too frivolous and shallow to do so.

However, because of this, the other person’s intentions are revealed more clearly.

‘The purpose is probably to call me here.’

Now, what should we do?

The worry was short-lived.

[Ricardo Lüchenprague Features 5 No Dad]

I don’t like falling for an obvious trick.

[Don’t think about dying gracefully.]

Let’s skip it for once.

I’m also curious where you found out about that story.

[Oh, like your parents?]

The moment the mocking words continued once more, the crystal ball the man was holding could not withstand the pressure and broke.

“It must have been a defective product.”

The man drew up in his mind the fastest route to get to Area 8.

But for some reason, the words he said earlier kept ringing in my ears.

No, more accurately, a ‘voice’ lingered around.

[If you come to District 8, come.]

I’ve heard many stories about a man named ‘Bjorn Jandel’, but this was definitely the first time I had a conversation with him in person.

But why?

‘Something… it feels familiar…’

I felt a strange, unfamiliar feeling.

It felt like I had heard the same voice as this one some time ago, a long time ago that I couldn’t even remember.

‘When was it…?’

The man, who was frowning as he tried to recall his memories, began to move quickly.

Whatever this discomfort is.

Tadat-

You will know when you see it in person.

***

Have you ever been in a closet?

There was Sven Farab, the (former) Paladin of Lafdonia.

Of course, strictly speaking, it was not ‘Sven Farab’ who went into the closet, but his original body, but whatever.

“….”

“….”

When you enter the closet, your body has to bend over, you cannot straighten your neck properly, and the floor is not as soft as a bed.

But surprisingly, it is comfortable inside.

Or, to be more precise, should I say that I feel comfortable even though my body is uncomfortable?

That’s because if you stay here, no one will find you.

So, ever since I was young, whenever I was scared, I always went into the closet.

‘I didn’t know I’d be coming back at this age.’

Because my body has grown so much, I have to cram myself into the closet.

You’re not even alone.

“I’m sorry… It’s very heavy, isn’t it?”

I have a roommate, and the roommate’s fragrant scent made me have to bend my back even further in the already cramped closet.

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

Because this was the only place nearby where I could hide.

“Oh no… I’m actually sorry. “It’s because of me…”

“…don’t apologize. “You’re both still safe.”

Sven Farab felt tremendous gratitude at those words.

The reason for being trapped in this narrow closet was all my own.

At a critical moment during a melee with his colleagues, he suffered a seizure, and Lilith Marone fell while trying to save himself.

“Still, it’s surprising… how he got completely healed as soon as he came in here.”

“Ahaha… That’s right.”

Sven Farab smiled awkwardly and continued talking.

It was true that I felt sorry and grateful at the same time, but there was still an inside story that I could never reveal to her.

‘…I can’t say it was intentional.’

In fact, the seizure was an exaggerated action.

To be exact, it was acting.

To naturally break away from the group.

‘What on earth is this closet?…’

Sven Farab stroked the wall of the closet with doubt.

In fact, there was nothing special about its appearance.

An ordinary abandoned house that can be seen wherever you look.

And only the upper part of the closet was vaguely visible through the broken second-floor window.

However, as soon as he saw this closet during the melee, he was possessed by a stronger ‘intuition’ than ever before.

‘I have to go.’

That closet is safe.

As long as I step into that closet, I will never die.

‘I have to go.’

Sven Farab broke away from the group as if possessed by something.

I had to pretend to have a seizure because of Lilith Marone who followed me after seeing that, but anyway.

This closet was worth it.

Should I say it’s like some kind of panacea?

Exciting-!

From the moment I returned to the city, not only was the chronic anxiety that had been taking over my entire body completely cured, but I was confident that I would be safe even if the world collapsed as long as I stayed here.

‘…I feel sorry for my colleagues.’

In some ways, this act can be seen as a betrayal of colleagues.

It would be a lie if he said his heart wasn’t heavy, but Sven Farab was so exhausted that he couldn’t even dare to leave this closet.

‘You can live here as long as you stay in the closet…!’

For Sven Farab, intuition was something you had to follow.

certainly.
