Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The heat is transmitted even from a distance of about 10m.

And the acrid burnt smell that tickles the nose.

pounding-!

As soon as the brain recognized the current situation, the heart tightened.

‘If this landed on our heads…’

It’d probably be all over.

“Prepare for that battle!”

The moment the dwarf, who had gone mad at the sudden situation, shouted, explorers appeared from the side of the bush.

A total of five people.

Four of them were forming a formation like escorting a wizard.

‘Sir, it doesn’t look like it’s on the 3rd floor…’

Why are these bastards here?

As we were praying inwardly that we were not the only looters, the three-headed beastman laughed at us in combat readiness.

And he said it in a high-handed tone.

“This Orc Colony is the territory of the Dzarwi Clan, so go somewhere else.”

‘clan?’

Somehow, everyone wore the same seal on their chests.

‘Nimi……’

The curse came out.

It’s not that I don’t understand what these guys are doing.

‘Control the hunting grounds on the 3rd floor?’

See, wasn’t this originally content from at least the 5th floor?

***

[Dungeon and Stone] is a single game.

Surprisingly, however, there is controlled content.

At first, it appears for the purpose of preventing movement between maps before breaking the main episode, but later, when a clan is created, the player can also control the hunting ground.

Of course, since a huge amount of manpower goes into this, it is a loss unless it is a habitat for some rare mobs and boss mobs.

‘By the way, it’s controlled on the third floor?’

I can’t quite comprehend it with my head.

Does that mean you get it by controlling a 7th grade monster and then use it?

Just look at that wizard.

It would be a waste to use high-ranking personnel who could use magic like that just to catch orcs.

“…Dzarwi is known as a clan that operates on the 6th floor or higher. But why are you in an orc colony?”

The dwarf also asked carefully, wondering if this was the first time he had heard of this.

But the answer that came back was only cold.

“I have no reason to explain to you guys.”

Oh that’s right

I was convinced, but the dwarf was not.

Even though he showed a lot of sloppy looks as a team, he is also an explorer.

Sensitive to matters of self-interest.

All the more so if the cause is external rather than internal.

“I have heard that some clans are recognized for their achievements and the royal family grants them rights within the labyrinth. But I have never heard that this is the territory of Clan Dzarwi. Above all, I do not even know if you are actually a member of them. I don’t know.”

As the opponent was the opponent, the dwarf presented his questions as logically as possible.

It was definitely a true story.

There’s no proof that they’re part of that clan, although their equipment and the level of magic we just saw made it clear that they were explorers far above us.

But…

‘I think it’s just right to stand out…’

To be honest, it’s more scary if I don’t.

Large clans don’t even notice from the outside, isn’t it clear that impersonators don’t have anything like that.

“You tell an interesting story.”

Soon, the beastman made a displeased expression and opened his eyes.

However, the dwarf did not lose.

“I hear that often.”

The time when the unspoken fight was prolonged and the tension gradually increased.

Turbuck.

I felt something approaching from behind.

When I checked, it was none other than Misha.

But why is he suddenly stuck behind me?

As if hiding from something…

“…Are you half a penny?”

When the beast man frowned and asked, I felt a flinch from behind me.

What was it really hiding?

“Oh long ago…”

Misha stuttered and walked out beside me.

At this, the man’s expression hardened even more.

“You shouldn’t have called me outside like that?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Tsk, I thought it might not be half a penny, so I started talking.”

At the beast man’s sarcasm, Misha didn’t say anything and lowered her head.

As expected, it didn’t seem like they could call each other half-penny because they were friendly.

‘Anyway, what’s the relationship between the two of you? Are they really family?’

When such a question arose, the wizard on the other side, who was only holding weight behind him, asked coolly.

“Just in case, I ask, is that lady your sister?”

“Yes, for now.”

The beastman nodded politely, and the wizard touched his shiny beard.

“Hmm, Lord Karlstein is in debt. Besides, if you’re your brother, you can’t even call him a stranger, so they’re the special exception—” “There

‘s no need for that.”

“Hmm? But…”

The beast man once again firmly refused the wizard’s consideration.

“Even my father won’t mind. The reason is within the family, so I can’t tell you.”

A cold voice with a sense of stubbornness.

“If you say so, then I understand.”

The wizard also changed his mind and nodded without saying anything. Just thought it would be okay to explain why?

“Look at you guys.”

He took a step forward and opened his mouth in an admonishing tone.

“Due to internal circumstances within the clan, we urgently need the essence of the Orc Warrior. If things go well, you will be able to hunt here from next cycle, so please go somewhere else this time. Or, go to the outskirts where the Great Warrior does not appear.”

Maybe it’s because he was a wizard, but his tone was much softer than that of a beast man… But, in the end, it means to see us and go away.

“I will refuse.”

The dwarf shook his head.

And with a sharp tone that wasn’t like him, he sarcastically mocked the opponent.

“Looks like you’re claiming your rights without royal recognition, so why would we want to see your clan? And do you know that what you’re doing is illegal in the first place?”

“…illegal?”

Was it a word that was poisonous to the planting?

“A wise explorer would know when to be careful with words.”

The gentle wizard’s eyes turned fierce.

However, I wonder if I didn’t want to leave room for future problems.

“Rather than that, when did we break the law? It’s just that you’re considering leaving for another place because there won’t be any monsters left for you to hunt if we’re here?”

I said it around, but it means that if we don’t leave, we will disrupt the hunt with all our might.

The dwarf, as if he had understood this, bit his lip with a look of resentment.

“Damn it…….”

I wonder if I was forced to kick it out or injure it.

These parts are not precisely specified by the labyrinth method.

In other words, it means that the law has not received any help at all.

‘It’s a problem since I tried to rely on the law in the first place.’

I’m sorry to the dwarf who tried to protect our team’s interests somehow, but I wanted to step down from the beginning.

Isn’t the original labyrinth a place where the powerful become the law?

If you forget about this and try to come, mice and birds can disappear without even realizing it.

‘At this point, he should have realized that this isn’t the time to show his pride, so I’d better persuade him to step back.’

After observing the situation like that, when you decide the direction of action.

“Don’t worry, you guys. I’ll take good care of this.”

Suddenly, Dwalkie interjected.

While spitting out words I couldn’t understand at all.

‘Are you going to solve it? What is he talking about?’

There was not even a part that I dared to point out.

However, before he had time to question his intentions, Dwalki smiled and approached the wizard on the other side.

“Ha ha ha! Nice to meet you, senior.”

“…Senior? Have we ever met?”

“It’s not like that, but as a student who decided to dedicate his life to the study of magic—”

“Okay, so who are you?”

Was such a bitter reaction unexpected?

Dwalki hesitated for a moment, then answered with a forced smile.

“Hahaha, my name is Liol Warb Dwalki, an 8th-class wizard of the royal family of Lapdonia—

”

“…yes?”

Displeasure appeared on the wizard’s face.

No, from my point of view, it seemed more uncomfortable than when the word ‘illegal’ came out, and the wizard seemed to have no intention of hiding such feelings this time.

“The study of magic? Dedicate your life to it? Isn’t it something to say about trash who make a living doing tricks on the streets after mastering a few basic magic tricks and pretending to be wizards? That shamelessness makes me goosebumps, so please go somewhere and say something like that.” please don’t do that.”

Sharp criticism poured in like a rapid-fire cannon.

‘Are you a wizard? Wording is no joke.’

While admiring the wizard’s apnea dealing, I was worried about Dwalkie. If I hear those words in front of my face, I think I’ll go mental too…

“…Keep it up!”

oh you’re already gone

When I looked to the side, I saw Dwalkie, who was not breathing properly and her eyes were wide open.

The repeated opening and closing of the mouth is almost reminiscent of a fish thrown into the sand.

After witnessing his best friend’s mental collapse, the dwarf couldn’t stand it and exploded.

“Look at me! This is a bit nonsensical!”

“Are you just telling the truth?”

“What? Tell me the truth?”

The dwarf’s neck was lined with stiff veins.

It’s not unusual for his eyes to glow with life.

And immediately upon detecting it.

“Let’s see!”

I grabbed the dwarf by the back and lifted him up.

Then he immediately seized the battle hammer he was holding in his hand.

But, anyway, it’s different.

Chichichit-!

A numb sensation is transmitted through the fingertips.

「Hikuro Murad cast [Lightning].」

Damn, did this bastard really turn?

I suppressed my anger as much as possible and muttered in a low voice.

“Calm down, Hikurod.”

We were all about to die.

***

“You’ve got a good friend. I’ll be grateful to that barbarian for the rest of my life. He saved you all.”

“…….”

Did the dwarf come back to his senses?

Despite the magician’s sarcastic remarks, the guy continued to show no reaction and hurriedly left with his team. And as soon as we reached the outskirts, they bowed short to us.

“I’m sorry. I lost my temper and got excited. As he said, if it wasn’t for Bjorn…”

They would probably

all be dead. Those who seemed to be generous enough to return those who attacked first were unscathed. I

have committed an imprudent act that could have led to ruin

,” Rottmiller rebuked in a

strong

tone .

I didn’t want to stop, and I wanted

him to criticize me more strongly,

but…

“Nothing happened as a result, so I won’t say more .

” Personally, I think it was a good thing to step out in a situation where a team member was being ignored.” I

couldn’t understand it at all.

It’s a situation where it’s not enough to pour out insults, but in the midst of this,

even praise? Shouldn’t I?’

There must be punishment and compensation for wrongdoing.

That way, no one commits the same mistake. Therefore,

I thought of such a realistic solution, but the atmosphere wasn’t good enough to say it out loud.

“Fuck, am I weird?”

As Rottmiller forgave the dwarf with a big-hearted attitude, the air around him became strange.

The atmosphere I was most uncomfortable with since I was a child who was hard to describe.

“…I’m sorry too. If it wasn’t for me, I don’t know if it could have worked out better.” The first person

to be swept away by that atmosphere was none other than Misha.

“Oh, how could that be!”

The second was Dwalky

. He was startled and waved his hands with both arms, and even though he stuttered, he said,

“I am… Of course, my words aren’t always the right answer…! I think I was kicked out after hearing the reason because you were here! So, don’t ever think of that!”

It wasn’t such a cool consolation, but the feelings mixed in it were conveyed to everyone with sincerity.

Maybe that’s why?

“Do you know why I… hate talking about my family?”

Misha suddenly spoke about herself. “I’m treated like someone out of my house .

Maybe someone will guess why.”

Mischa looked at our complexion with a keen eye.

Rottmiller, who was among the first to guess, averted her gaze, so I pretended not to know.

Fairies deal with spirits . .Dwarves with the Blessing of Arms increase efficiency when handling numbered items, and Barbarians have a spirit imprint.

In addition to the exceptionally high basic agility stats, Beasts also have racial characteristics.

”

I am the only one in my family . I couldn’t make a contract with the ‘Soul Beast’.”

Soul Beasts.

Beasts can make contracts with ancient beasts called by that name.

And the form of the contract is various. You can

fight together by summoning or use physical abilities by strengthening your body. By raising or blessing, you can use the special ability of the beast.

Of course, not all beastmen can do it. Only

a few talented beastmen are selected by the soul number.

But the problem here is…

‘It must be that he is from the lineage of the tribal chief.’

A direct descendant of the Karlstein family, the head of the tribe,

that is, being pure-blooded, it is a big problem that she cannot handle the ‘soul tree.

‘ I got along well with the fields. But even after becoming an adult, things changed when I couldn’t sign a contract with the number of souls. Everyone called me half a penny. Half of their blood was mixed…….”

A child born through infidelity.

Her mother passed away early, so no one could know the truth, and Misha could not stand that gaze and left the house. He grew up slowly.

“Thank you for bringing up the difficult story.”

After the short but long story, the dwarf petted Misha with an unusually serious attitude.

Misha was not as mean as before.

Rather, he seemed like a domesticated cat.

“Hikurod… he didn’t really get mad at us as he considered us comrades.”

What’s going

on

? With that being said, I guess I’ll have to talk too. I dreamed of becoming a blacksmith. But I didn’t have the talent, so I couldn’t get my apprenticeship ticket for 10 years. That’s why I became an explorer when I was over 30! I still need to make money, so I ran away because I wanted to at this time.”

Misha’s confession left a deep impression on the dwarf as well, and the dwarf told his story calmly, followed by Dwalky

. . Although I was able to enter magic because of my family background, I was not able to enter the Magic Tower because my talent was low. Perhaps if I were a proper wizard… he would certainly have respected me a little.”

Then, Dwalki revealed that his goal was to learn more magic by earning money as an explorer.

And the story seems to end here…

“I’ve been on many teams, but this is the first time I’ve ever been in a situation like this.”

Rottmiller, who had been silent, saved the dying fire with a smile.

“I also have something to apologize for. The other day, when Murad and Miss Karlstein talked about their annual leave, I was incensed with anger.”

“Has that happened?”

“Yes. My ugly envy was the cause. I didn’t even know that each had their own circumstances, but I thought that both of them were lucky to be born as heterogeneous races, so they complained about being slow or fast.”

Human explorers also have advantages.

They can use auras, and they can become Elementalists or Wizards. He could be a priest.

Some of them were born with a body as big as a barbarian.

Virtually all races have their strengths.

But, in the end, this is only one possibility, and only a few with special talents.

“Hahaha . ! So, is our team all half-punished? It’s better, because it means we won’t have to be intimidated by seeing each other in the future.”

The dwarf laughed awkwardly and evoked the atmosphere.

And at that—

“Surely that’s the case, too.

” ” I

will work harder from now on to help the team!”

Also, Suin, who was born of pure blood and cannot handle the number of souls,

was moved. .”

Even Rottmiller, an 8-year-old human explorer who was at the height of mediocrity, was all the same. Everyone acknowledged their own flaws and spoke openly and comforted each other. As a result, eyes naturally focused on me, who hadn’t confessed anything yet

.

” …….”

“…….”

Looked at you as

if

there was nothing wrong with you. It seems like it, but…

I was taken aback by the gathering eyes, so I spit out whatever came out of my mouth at random.

“I don’t have a mother!”
