Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

“Uh uh uh…”

“Is that so…?”

There is a strange silence, and bewildered gazes fly at me.

I quickly followed up with a further explanation.

“My mother died after giving birth to me. And my father didn’t come back from the labyrinth when I was young. So I’ve become an adult, but I can’t meet them even though I want to!”

For reference, the story I just heard from Einar is 100% true.

“That’s ……”

“You must have had a lot of trouble at a young age.”

But is it because it was the confession of the youngest member of the team, the barbarian who just finished the coming-of-age ceremony?

The light of sympathy in the gaze that looked at me began to grow young.

“You, Bjorn, don’t have to force yourself to pretend nothing is wrong in front of us.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t even know you had a situation like that, and I was talking about the family…” ”

I can’t be your parent, Bjorn, but if you want—”

What the bastard said.

I decided not to listen to the dwarf’s gossip.

“done.”

For some reason, he seems to have become the most pitiful of them all in an instant… but what can I do? It’s not true, so you don’t have to worry about it.

It’s not like I don’t have a real mother.

Above all, unlike them, I am a munchkin barbarian who has been promoted to a 7th grade explorer in 3 months and is on a super elite course.

The most important thing is always the essence.

‘Um, but if you think like that, aren’t I really the most pitiful person?’

Suddenly, I thought that it might be.

I had to pass the risk of dying several times after being dragged into the world in a game that I hadn’t even been able to sell.

Shiva why is my life so pitiful?

“Bjorn’s expression isn’t good! Are you thinking of your mother’s health?”

“Yes, that’s it……”

“If you miss your family, you can call me sister—” I

cut off the cat ears that were about to go beyond the second verse to the third, and went to the main point.

“What are you going to do now anyway?”

The primary destination, the orc colony, cannot be hunted because of those bastards.

Of course, they also said that it was OK if it was in the outskirts, but if we hunted there at this speed and divided it among five other people, how much would be left?

“I think it would be better to go to the Witch’s Forest first.”

Being the leader, the dwarf gave his opinion.

The witch’s forest refers to the huge forest that surrounds the portal connected to the 4th floor.

Level 7 to 8 monsters appear mainly, and among them there are spirit-stay monsters with physical immunity.

“Of course, it’s not good for us who have a lot of melee warriors, but it doesn’t seem bad because there are wizards.”

“Hmm, in that case, wouldn’t it be better to just go up to the 4th floor?”

Rottmiller, who had been listening, offered a new opinion.

I also thought this was a better option than the dwarf opinion.

For most explorers, the witch’s forest is recognized as an area they must pass through because it has little merit as a hunting ground.

‘Among the essences that come out, there’s nothing I can eat.’

But the problem is that the dwarf didn’t like this option at all.

“Fourth floor… I think it’s still premature.”

I know what the dwarf worries about.

On the 3rd floor, 7th and 8th grade monsters usually appear. And this is the same for the 4th floor.

However, there is a very crucial difference between the two.

“I said it over and over again at the meeting, but I’ve seen a lot of teams that think easily and go up and get wiped out. Once, the team I was on almost did that.”

The presence or absence of level 6 monsters.

From the 4th floor, level 6 monsters will appear, albeit with a rare probability.

In terms of the frequency of encounters, it’s about going around all day and encountering them once every three days… but

this would mean that you will inevitably encounter a 6th grade monster when you are active on the 4th floor.

‘Whether or not you have the skills to pass that one time. This is so ambiguous.’

Even when I actually played the game, there were many times when I entered the 4th floor at a moderate level and saw blood.

So, the dwarf has some truth to say.

“I don’t think it’s too late to decide whether to go to the 4th floor after working together for at least a few more days.”

In any case, the deep emotional exchanges and increased bonds created by this incident.

We are a team formed for the first time this time.

It has only been three days since they entered the labyrinth, and they are not familiar with each other yet.

“Moreover, as you know, this is the first time Dwalki has visited, and this is the first time Bjorn has come to the third floor as well.”

To summarize the conclusion, it’s okay to go to the 4th floor, but the dwarf’s insistence is not to be impatient.

“Well then, can’t we just go to another area on the 3rd floor? I think Greentail Marsh would be fine…”

Misha, who was listening to the argument with a headache, presented a new opinion.

And right away, I was hit by Rotmiller.

“If you’ve taken that route from the beginning, it’ll take you six days to get to Greentail Marsh now.”

The first floor is on the 7th, the second floor is on the 10th, and the third floor is on the 15th. The labyrinth is closed the moment the car ends.

But now you have to spend more than 7 days on the move again? It’s three days now, so even if we set off right away, it means we can go and hunt for only five days.

“In that case, going back to Ironrock Hill would be a better choice.”

“That kind of river? I didn’t know because I always followed him around…….”

Mischa smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek at Rotmiller’s expert words.

I kept listening to the conversation just in case, but nothing came out.

Now I’m going to have to step in and sort things out.

“How long are we going to stand and talk? This is enough, everyone gather around. Let’s decide what to do with a majority vote.”

“Majority?”

“Why? Rottmiller, do you prefer rock-paper-scissors?”

“No, but that’s a bit…”

Rottmiller put on an expression of disgust at my question. Actually, I was jokingly asking if there was a better way…

Is it because I’m a barbarian?

Unfortunately, no one seemed to notice that this was a joke.

“I am in favor of the opinion that must be decided by majority vote.”

“It’s simple, but it’s the surest way.”

“I like anything!”

In any case, it was decided by a majority vote to decide the next course of action.

And I was the first to vote.

“I’d better go up to the fourth floor.”

Judgment that doing this in front will help to drive public opinion even a little more.

“…Suddenly, the 4th floor started to feel dangerous. I think I made a decision too hastily.”

“Oh, was Miss Carlstein like that?”

“…….”

This is the reaction of the guys. Anyway, as each person gave their opinion in turn, a conclusion was quickly reached.

“Whoa, you all have the same opinion, so there’s no point in being stubborn.”

We now go to the 4th floor.

***

Despite the dwarf’s concerns, there was a reason I pushed through with this decision.

Of course, this decision was a majority vote, but…

it didn’t mean much.

If I had judged that it was too early to enter the 4th floor, I would have kept them on the 3rd floor even if it meant destroying their self-esteem.

“Hmm? It seems it’s suddenly gotten a little cold…”

“Hmm, already? It’s still a while before we get to the Witch’s Forest…” ”

No, it feels a bit different from that. I can’t say anything well.”

Under Rottmiller’s guidance, we made our way through the darkness towards our destination.

The dwarf still had a disgusted look on his face.

‘I don’t think it was like that in the Bloody Citadel, but lately I’ve become overly cautious.’

Was it because he personally met and selected each team member from the position of the first team leader? It seems that a strange sense of responsibility always accompanies him. I don’t need

to do that because I’m the pants

team leader…

The dwarf doesn’t know my exact specs.

That’s why going straight to the 4th floor would have been a little more unsettling.

It must have played a part in not realizing how good the number item ‘Guardian’s Arm Guard’ was.

“When you enter Hikuro’s Witch’s Forest, don’t spare ‘that’ and use it.”

At my advice, the dwarf showed signs of pondering for a moment, then nodded with determined eyes.

“I will do as you say.”

No.3112 Guardian’s arm guard is a high-end piece of equipment worth 50 million stones.

And it’s called gyeonmulsaengsim.

The dwarf had asked the other team members not to know that he possessed such a demon.

‘But it’s meaningless if I can’t use it when I have to.’

I’m not the owner anyway.

We rely on each other until just a while ago, didn’t we film Mane Sinpa?

“What is that? What is that? Why are you talking about something only the two of you know!”

“You’ll know when the time comes.”

I ignored Misha’s curiosity and finally checked again.

‘If the tank line specs are this good, I think it’ll be enough for a 6th grade monster. The problem is the dealer line…….’

There was a bit of a weak side with just the specs, but I got some confidence after hunting together in the orc colony.

As long as the front line is solid, if this member is a 6th grade monster, there will be no danger.

‘Unless you suddenly end up trolling from behind.’

There were a lot of NPCs like that when I was playing the game.

Wouldn’t he be like that…?

‘Mistress, are you suddenly anxious again?’

Unlike me, who grew worried later, Misha’s face was slightly flushed.

“It’s been a while since I went to the 4th floor, so I’m a little excited!”

I heard that it is the first time to return to the 4th floor after the team disbanded a year ago…

But is it because it’s a cat?

It’s like making a gurgling sound every time you exhale.

“I’ll have to find a place to camp soon.”

After riding on the outskirts of the orc colony and moving all the way, it was time to take a break.

“Rottmiller seems to have enough stamina, so why don’t you move a little more?”

“We’ll have to go three more hours to find a better spot than this.”

“Hmm, if that’s the case then I know.”

For reference, the time at this time was around 9:00 PM, which almost coincided with the camping time of the 1st and 2nd days.

To be honest, I was very impressed.

‘Is this a skilled explorer?’

Rotmiller would have thought of a camping point along the route and adjusted his movement speed accordingly.

Even though it’s a labyrinth with no day and night, it’s better to take a break at a certain time.

“Rottmiller, what’s your schedule tomorrow?”

“Maybe we can reach the Witch’s Forest by lunchtime tomorrow.”

Well then, it will be the day after tomorrow to enter the 4th floor.

When you ask a question, the answer comes out without buffering. There is no such thing as a human navigation system.

“You Bjorn was Malvern, right? You’ll have to suffer quite a bit from entering the forest tomorrow, so let’s take a break today.”

“I will.”

Today’s first pick is me, a dwarf.

The witch’s forest is the place where melee warriors have to suffer the most, so it happened regardless of the order. .

Well, I’m sure I’ll wake up once or twice in my sleep anyway.

***

“Bjorn,”

I heard a voice whispering and opened my eyes.

I saw Rottmiller’s face under the flickering torch light.

So Rottmiller was my turn right before… …..

“…Is it my turn now?”

“It’s not yet.”

“But why…”

I stiffened as I rubbed my sleepy eyes.

Dwalky dwarf and Misha. Except for all the other members of the team, they were awake and

armed.

I asked briefly,

“Are they

monsters ?

”

An

urgent cry was heard from beyond the darkness

: “Damn it

!

He sniffed and sniffed, and soon muttered briefly,

“I’m sure I understand now.” “What

are

you talking about

?

” As for the people coming towards us, they must have been there when we arrived at Ironrock Hill.”

This situation turns interesting again.
