Chapter 77
Episode 77 Request (1)
It’s already been 15 days since they came back alive from the labyrinth.
In other words, it was about two weeks until the portal opened in the Dimension Plaza.
It’s a little too much to say that I had a good rest.
As I was doing what I had to do every day, like homework, time passed endlessly.
I’m not the only one who’s been busy.
“Hahaha! Isn’t this the famous little Balkan Yandel’s son, Bjorn? If you don’t mind today, let’s have a drink later—” ”
I’m tired.”
All of the members of Team Banpunyi had a busy two weeks except for the dwarf who lived like a hanryang for two weeks.
First of all, Rotmiller.
“Um, now I think I know a little bit. How to use the sixth sense ability.
He absorbed the essence of the mimic in this exploration and devoted himself to training every day to get used to the new ability.
Dwalki was also the same.
“… …Ah me? Never mind. I just haven’t slept for two days.”
After his financial problems were resolved, he cut down on his sleeping time and learned new spells in the Mage Tower.
Once, he worried that the dwarf was overdoing himself, but…
“Next exploration . Doesn’t anyone know what’s going to happen in I have to prepare as much as I can when I can.”
It’s admirable. When
the hell did he
become so dignified? ‘
There’s no way I’ll get caught
.’
Growth is not limited to them only.
Over the past two weeks, Misha and I have changed in many ways. Let
me start with myself…
“Hahaha! congratulations Getting a second name in 3 months and being promoted to a 6th level explorer? It’s to the point where I’m worried that I’m falling behind soon!”
“If I’m worried, why
don’t I try harder?” “I’m still looking for a Noble Phantasm worth buying!”
A few days ago, I was promoted to a 6th grade explorer.
Contrary to expectations, I went straight to 5th grade. It was unreasonable to do it.
There is a test from the 5th grade, and to take the test, it seems that you have to solve the request received by the guild and build up some kind of achievement
.
In fact, it’s a new thing to complain about now.
The background of the game I played was about 150 years ago. There must have been countless updates to this social system over the past century. Just
like the library that only appeared to be under construction in the game.
” Oh is that the new weapon you bought? It’s reliable just by looking at it, isn’t it?”
There was also a slight upgrade in the equipment section.
First of all, I bought a new mace that I lost.
For reference, the price was 400,000 stones, which was more than twice as expensive as the one I used before.
That’s because more steel went into it.
” The overall item level increases by +185.?
Overwhelming size and weight. However, this time
, as the strength increased greatly, there was no hindrance to actual use
.
that? I don’t even want to talk about it, so ask him.”
Misha pointed at me at Dwalkie’s question.
Hmm, I thought I’d put an end to my grumbling… “I bought a pair
of swords .”
Lich’s twin swords, which are about 70% of the standard longsword size.
I bought them for 550,000 stones from the blacksmith that Hikurod told me about.
” Double
swords?” “Isn’t
it
? Does it sound strange to you guys?”
“Is it strange? There seems to be a misunderstanding.”
“Eh?”
“I was surprised because it was the same as the one I had in the past. It’s ambidextrous, so it’s good to use both hands, but I wanted to have a reason to insist on using a dagger.” ”
……What
do you mean?” Aren’t the monsters we mainly fight? From now on, you will meet a lot of large monsters.”
In short, it was a bit disappointing to use a short dagger in the past, but it means that it went well.
Misha looked at the dwarf in bewilderment, as if the reaction was different from what he expected
. …
“Double swords… Definitely not a bad choice. After all, we’ll be holding the front line tight. Ha ha ha!”
The dwarf in the tank position was only satisfied with the melee dealer’s investment in the all ball.
Then Dwalki stepped forward.
“I’m no stranger to that, but I need to get used to a new weapon and handle it two at once. It seems difficult to do…”
“That’s right! That’s what I was trying to say! Only then will I be beaten by goblins on my next expedition!”
Misha, gaining strength from Dwalki’s sympathy, gave me a glancing glance. But, anyway, all I can say is this.
“Then practice more. Don’t get hit by the goblins.”
I repeat, the easy way is the slow way.
It’s going to be difficult to master a new weapon right now… but
in the game, Freezing Dual Wielders was the strongest melee dealer in the second half.
There is one number item.
“Huh, I get it, so stop
nagging
.” “It’s not nagging, it’s advice for your future
.” “But if you don’t like it that much, ca
n’t you just not change your weapon?
”
Bjorn isn’t your parent, so why do you have to do what he tells you to do? To be honest, when I look at it from the side, it seems like I’m crossing the line, so it’s uncomfortable.”
Crossing the line?
Well, it’s not wrong when you look at it from the side, but…….
But there’s one thing he doesn’t know.
“It’s not that I hate it that much. . Although it’s difficult now, there are definitely quite a few advantages compared to using a dagger…”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, so don’t say too much to Bjorn. The decision was
made by me.”
I don’t force anything on him.
I just strongly persuade him through reasonable grounds
. Hahaha”
“If possible, when passing the second floor, I’d like to pass through places I haven’t been to yet.”
“Hmm, is it because of the public value? If that’s the case, then I’ll have to check the route there again.”
As we were eating and organizing our exploration plans, the regular meeting this week ended right away. In fact, it’s a meeting, more
like a meeting where we just meet once a week to talk about our current situation.
Do you want to go together?”
“Aren’t we headed in the same direction?”
“Hmm, we’ve become really close lately.” Well, it seems
to me that you and Dwalki have become closer. Ignoring the dwarf’s advice, I left the bar with Misha.
“Oh right. Bjorn! I heard that the equipment I ordered last time has been completed, so come pick it up?”
“It’s late today, so I’ll have to go pick it up tomorrow.” ”
But what the hell did you order that took so long?”
Oh, didn’t I tell you?
“It’s underpants.
” Underpants…?”
Of course, it’s not ordinary underpants.
If you have to ask, it’s an equipment part called ‘egg guard’ in slang among male explorers.
In other words, it’s a heart guard.
“It’s a bit expensive because it has to be enchanted. I gave and bought it.”
“Eek, I even enchanted that kind of thing!”
“Is that so?”
“Uh, no, that’s not what I meant…… But it would have been difficult to find the right one, so it’s not like you wouldn’t understand. …….”
He said something else.
“Can’t you be naked whenever your body grows in the future?”
Originally, the player’s role is to set up his equipment accordingly after eating the essence.
In preparation for [Giantness], the desired shape After making clothes, I applied ‘auto-repair’, ‘shape change’, and ‘acid immunity’ enchantments.
That’s the panties I want. No, there’s no way underpants are sold in the market.
For reference, the money spent here is about 900,000 Stone
. I again…….”
Misha takes a deep breath to see if the misunderstanding has been resolved.
However, she asks in a strange voice if she has any questions.
“Hey… then you’re just wearing that in the labyrinth now,
right ?” I
replied confidently. I
didn’t have words to explain earlier, so I said it was underpants, but in fact, it’s more like pants that come down to the thigh.
Those cyclists often wear them.
Besides, it’s not a chewy material, but leather, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of
. I haven’t tried it on myself…
” …….
”
I’m sure it is.
I’m not a barbarian
?
Then you go in and sleep.”
“Yeah, that’s right. But should I go with you tomorrow to look for equipment…?”
“Don’t flirt and swing your sword while I’m gone.”
“I’m not trying to trick you…….”
No. “It does n’t have to be that way.
I have somewhere to go tomorrow anyway.”
“Alone? “Where are you going?”
I answered briefly.
“I’m going to the Holy Land.”
I have money and the essence of the Orc Hero, which is the core of the training method. So, it’s
time to raise the level of the spirit engraving
.
‘The combined double swords of Mace’s underpants totaled 1.85 million stones.
‘
[Beast blood] purchased to raise the level of Misha’s soul was 2 million stones. The cost of enchanting ‘acid immunity’ on a breastplate and shield made of titanium was 510,000 stones
. Excluding ……..’
There are already only 3.7 million stones left.
Of course, it’s all necessary, but it’s not a waste because it was spent.
[Beast’s Blood] was 2 million stones, but if it wasn’t for this, Misha would put the freezing attribute on the weapon. It must have taken a while to be able to use it
.
When I bought the equipment, I omitted it because I had a frost spirit ring and I didn’t have any money in my pocket.
As a result, 500,000 stones came out
for repairs
.
After roughly washing and walking for a while, I arrived at the holy land, and the tribal chief greeted me
with a slightly happy smile on his lips
. Did you get the nickname Little Vulcan?”
“Yes!”
He nodded his head proudly, acting as a barbarian who returned home in gold.
But this is a cold barbarian world. “So
, what’s going on here!”
Let’s get to the main topic.
The introduction is too short like a barbarian.
To be honest, I thought there would be more words of admiration, praise, or encouragement…
‘Well, I also like this because it saves time.’
Perhaps the most reasonable race in this city is the barbarian?As I pondered over such a question seriously, I immediately said,
“I have come to receive the spirit imprint.
” I’ll call the shaman, so talk to him.”
Even after that, it was fast paced.
The chief left as if he was busy, and a disciple of the shaman came and guided me to the tent.
Upon entering, the shaman with impressive wrinkly skin greeted me.
“Hehe, it’s you again.”
“How did you know it was me?”
“That’s because warriors who say thank you to a shaman are rare.”
No , I meant how did you recognize me while wearing an eye patch…….
I didn’t ask.
Well, since you’re a shaman, you must have a mysterious corner.
“Did you come to get the second imprint of the Undead Path?” ”
Yes.” “The
cost
is 1 million stones
.” ”
“Isn’t it because you weren’t ready?”
“……No.”
I was just surprised that the price was the same as the game.
The first stage was 150,000 stones more expensive than the game.
Short.
A small question . Anyway, as the shaman ordered, I took out the money and put it in the jar in front of
me
. Last time I got 50,000 stones less, so it was a headache.”
“…50,000 stones less? What do you mean by that?”
“Young warrior, you don’t care. Is it all the fault of the stupid tribal chief?”
No, I’m still concerned?
I had something to figure out, so I lay down on the blanket as I was told and asked again.
“How much does a shaman’s first level engraving cost? ?”
“550,000 stones.”
“……I see.”
All the questions were answered with that one word. At that time
, the chief said the cost was 700,000 stones.
I
just didn’t notice it at the time.
[The cost of Immortal Imprinting… Hmmm, it’s probably around 700,000 stones!] The
chief of the tribe was also a barbarian.
He was very weak with letters and numbers.
‘After that, they gave me 200,000 stones off or something.’
Well, in the end, I saved 50,000 stones, so I don’t think I’ve lost anything…
But I feel like an idiot for being genuinely happy—
“Then let’s begin.”
All the worries and worries filled my head the moment the needle pierced my skin. This is gone.
It’s been a long time
since it’s been a
long
time
. I thought this wouldn’t work
.
It
seems that the plan
needs to be reexamined
.
*** I
thought it would be the longest 15 minutes in my life?
I was foolish for saying that at
the
time .
It didn’t take,
but the pain was beyond my imagination.
I wondered
if the pain I had to feel for 12 hours was compressed.
Then
he held out something to me,
“Come on. Pick one out. I have some time left, so I’ll peek at your destiny.”
What is it? Is it something like a fortune teller?
I think it’s as accurate as it is in a fantasy world…
I can tell at least whether good things will happen to you in the future.”
Well, then.
I didn’t feel any malice, so I pulled out any of the dozens of sticks in the barrel without much thought.
Then the shaman was silent for a while
. “What’s your date of birth, young warrior?”
I didn’t know that I would need a fortune teller……. As I
was contemplating how to answer, the shaman giggled again.
”
It was a joke. How could a warrior know something like the date and time of birth?”
“…So, what was my fate like stealing?” ”
It was unusual. I’ve seen the fate of many warriors, but this is the first time I’ve had such an unfortunate fate.”
Well, I say the same thing as the shaman who followed my mother in the past.
Did I lose my temper from the beginning?
“Perhaps you are suffering like others go through. I’ve been through this countless times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“I see.”
I wasn’t looking for something like that.
I knew it in my heart, but when a shaman from a fantasy world cut it off and said it, I became depressed for no reason.
“Don’t be too discouraged, young warrior . . Isn’t bad luck necessarily bad for you?”
“Isn’t it only bad?”
“Your destiny is accompanied by not only bad luck, but also good luck that is second to none. And if you don’t get swallowed up by evil, bad luck will eventually turn into luck.”
“What do you mean? Speak plainly.”
This time I wasn’t pretending to be a barbarian, but I meant it. Is it customary in this industry, on Earth or here, to speak in a difficult way
? It is.”
For some reason, it felt like my head was pounding and ringing.
“It’s the fate that many people who are commonly called heroes are born with.”
To be honest, I don’t really know what a hero is.
One thing is certain.
There were countless shitty things in my life, but in the end “I’m still alive and breathing.
I only thought it was because of bad luck.
But looking back now, it’s not
like all the shit happened. “I guess there’s something
you’re giggling about ?”
I almost died when Meer came out, but as a result, I was able to get the essence of it. The
hierarchical lord I met a while ago?
I shuddered all kinds of shit, but in the process I got the essence of an Orc hero
. ” It can’t be
,”
the shaman smiled as if he were dealing with a truly innocent young warrior. Then
he muttered solemnly.
Someone overcomes fate.”
“Easy to understand.”
“It’s not destiny, it’s up to you.”
After that, you just keep saying things
that you don’t
know why . Always stay alert and do what you have to do.
So that you can withstand whatever comes your way.
