Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

“Heuk I’m a great wizard… Huh? Who are you…?”

“The interest is right, hurry up and take it.”

The knights grabbed Dwalki by the hair and checked his face, then quickly restrained both arms.

“What’s going on over there…”

The drunk dwarf finally came to his senses and tried to figure out the situation, but to no avail.

“You don’t need to know.”

“Ha, but…”

“Are you dissatisfied with our method?”

If you nod your head, the momentum seems to drag you along.

I covered the dwarf’s mouth and answered instead.

“does not exist.”

“…Are you a little Vulcan? Unwisely a barbarian.”

The tone and gaze that are difficult to hear as a compliment.

Soon, the dwarf made a fuss as they left the bar with the drunken Dwalkie.

“Bjorn! They must have misunderstood something. That dude could never have done that!”

Definitely not wrong.

Insulting nobles?

I don’t know if it’s an impersonation. To be honest, it is difficult for me to understand that it is an insult.

It’s just…

“We need help!”

What should I do to save my colleague who was dragged away by public power?

I closed my eyes.

“Calm down, Hikurou. The reason Bjorn is doing that is that he has an answer!”

Huh I just wanted to take a break today…….

Why does this happen again?

***

Before I could do anything, I needed to get the situation right.

That’s because there is no information yet.

I don’t even know who framed it, whether they insulted the real nobility or they just got it wrong.

Therefore, I quickly left the bar and headed to the place where Mozlan’s office was located.

But…

“Wait until the investigation is formally concluded.”

Mozlans, who were closed and arrogant even in the game, did not tell me any information.

So I went to see Shabin.

“He was taken away by Mozlan…? I’ll look into it. I can’t guarantee that I can find out something, but…” ”

That’s enough. Thank you.”

“no.”

Shabin is still a civil servant, so he judged that it would be easier to access information than an explorer on the ground.

“…is he still alive?”

“Hikurod! I know you’re worried, but please stop screaming and stay still!”

“I see.”

It was the time when she waited in front of the Mozlan government building all day waiting for Shabin’s reply.

“Uh huh? Isn’t that a Dwalkie?”

“I guess that’s right.”

Dwalki, his shoulders drooping, came out through the front door. Contrary to the dwarf’s worries, there didn’t seem to be a single wound anywhere, let alone a trace of torture.

“Hey! Are you okay? How did the investigation go? Oh, it must mean that you misunderstood something like this? Yes, I knew you would!”

“Ah… that’s…”

For some reason, Dwalky doesn’t seem happy to see us and just hangs his head.

“……Let’s move. After that, I’ll tell you everything.”

First of all, the place was moved according to Dwalki’s will.

A pub in the form of a room that I often visited during labyrinth-related meetings. When a few snacks and the beer he ordered came out, Dwalkie opened his mouth in a pitiful voice.

“I guess… I’ll have to leave the team.”

After Erwen and Einar, it’s already the third kind of word I’ve heard.

The dwarf was flagship.

“No, what are you talking about! Tell me more!”

“That’s…”

Dwalki, who was mumbling, let out a long breath.

“It would be ridiculous to hide now. In fact, there is something I haven’t revealed to you until now.”

“You didn’t tell me?”

“My brother… is Baron Martoan.”

“What?”

“Then are you really a noble?”

Everyone, including Misha, opened their mouths in shock, but Dwalki kept his eyes shut and continued.

“About half of it. Because I am the son of the former Baron Martoang and the maid of the mansion.”

The illegitimate son of an aristocratic family.

It’s not a very strange kind of story to me, who has seen many dramas in modern times.

In fact, the development after that was not very different.

“Because I was a wealthy family, I was adopted as soon as I was born by the Baroness’s third sister, Tirva’s adoptive father.

Still, thanks to the baron family sending money periodically, I was able to learn magic and grow up wealthy.

Just listening to it led to a complicated family affair.

The dwarf didn’t seem to have time to wait.

“So what does that have to do with leaving the team?”

“A year ago, my father, Baron Martoan, passed away. And my second brother took the place.”

“Hmm, not first?”

A question from Rotmiller interrupted in the middle.

Dwalki continued in a candid voice.

“Yes. Second son. That’s the problem.”

“I don’t understand, why is that a problem…?”

“After the former baron passed away, many people died

.

The bloody power struggle of the Baron Martoang family is about figuring out the cause and effect of this case.

“Sending Mozlan was the work of that second older brother or something.”

“Yes. It’s probably a warning. Live quietly as you’ve always done.”

“But now?”

“I think it bothered me that I became an explorer. Recently, I’ve been learning a lot of magic… and there are famous people on my team, so it must have bothered me.”

Ah uh uh…

you’re blaming me here?

To be honest, I wonder if this is a leap forward…

I briefly summarized Dwalkie’s words.

“Anyway, you mean you can’t enter the labyrinth anymore because you’re afraid of the second brother?”

“You… never say anything backwards. I’m not wrong. But… whatever my will, it would have been the same.”

“What do you mean?”

“They didn’t punish me for insulting the nobility, but instead took away my access to the labyrinth.”

To put it simply, it means that even if you want to be together, there is no way to do that.

“Isn’t there some way for Bjorn?”

The desperate eyes of the dwarves, including Misha, are directed at me.

I quietly closed my eyes.

And rather than looking for an answer to a question that couldn’t be answered, I thought about what day it was today.

‘It became a headache after that.’

9 days left until the next labyrinth opens.

Will he be able to find a new colleague before then?

I really don’t have an easy way to do anything.

***

“First of all, let’s think about this issue and meet again tomorrow to discuss it.”

“Yes, you can’t think of the right number right away. That’s right.”

I ended up disbanding after making an appointment the next day.

The dwarf and Dwalkie seem to have decided to have a drink in a quiet place while Rotmiller returns home.

By the way, I decided to head to the library.

“Huh? Going to the library?”

“At that time, I had business with the librarian.”

“… at this late hour?”

“Go quickly, we’ll arrive before closing.”

“I see… Ho, would you like me to go with you?”

what is he

“Okay, you go and get some rest.”

“No, there’s nothing to do even if I go back…….”

“Why is there nothing to do? If you have time, swing your sword one more time. Didn’t you play the whole day?”

I sent Misha, who said she would follow me persistently, and quickly headed to the library.

Originally, I was going to take a good rest today and go tomorrow, but…

the situation has changed a little.

***

“To Parsiti…….”

Upon arriving at the library, the dozing librarian mechanically casts a spell and flinches.

“You…”

“Come to think of it, I’ve never made a formal statement. I’m Yandel’s son, Bjorn.”

“…That’s what I know of course.”

well that’s probably it

Anyway, there was a moment of silence after that conversation.

There’s something awkward about him.

“…It’s closing time soon, are you going in?”

“No, I’m not here to read a book today.”

“…then?”

How can I tell you the situation I’m in?

After thinking about it for a while, like a barbarian, I went straight to the point.

“Ragna Rithaniel Peprok.”

“You can just call it short as you like.”

“Ragna, what level of wizard are you?”

I asked the question coolly, but the answer did not come back for a long time.

A look like what kind of rude guy is.

Well, even Raven got angry when he was asked this kind of question.

“I’ll start with this. Why are you curious about that all of a sudden?”

Raven calmly asks why he is more gentle than Raven.

Therefore, I also answered openly.

“Something happened that the wizard on the team couldn’t enter the labyrinth. So, what’s wrong with the librarian taking a break from work and entering the labyrinth together—” ”

I refuse.”

yes yes it’s a refusal

The firm voice clearly erased my lingering feelings.

“That’s right. If the grade is low enough to not enter the labyrinth, there is nothing we can do.”

“…When did I say that?”

“Then your skills are good enough.”

Realizing that Ragnar, who was in a fit of rage, was talking about it, he made a ridiculous expression.

“You… are you curious about that?”

“…What are you talking about? Anyway, this story ends here.

I changed the subject.

“So what was that? Shavin Emour said you’d have something ready for me when she came over here.”

“…What? Ready for you?”

She raised her eyebrows as if she had heard this for the first time in her life, but touched her forehead as if she belatedly understood.

“Ha… did you say that again?”

“Speak in a way I can understand.”

“I’m telling you in advance, please don’t make any strange misunderstandings.”

After hearing my firm answer that Ragnar would never misunderstand, Ragnar confessed his heartfelt details.

“Shabin said that my position in the department has risen thanks to you. So he asked me for my opinion and said he wanted to reciprocate, and I… said that you like reading books.”

“so?”

“That’s just it, but suddenly he mentioned what I owed him and told him to pay it back to you. So, I’m not giving it to you, it’s Shabin. Okay?”

“……understood.”

To put it simply, isn’t there something prepared for me?

I don’t know why he goes so far to emphasize that he’s not giving it to him.

If it were me, I would have been condescending.

“Did I really understand you correctly?”

“right. So what is a reward?”

“A book.”

“…A book?”

I tilted my head, and Ragnar closed his eyes and chanted a

spell

. “What is this?” To

my question,

Ragnar gave a detailed explanation unlike usual.

In

this library, general [book detection] It is said that there are books with a high security level that do not respond to magic, but magic that allows you to find even those?

“…I didn’t know that such a thing was hidden

.” ”

It’s kind of a secret library for the vested interests.

It feels like I’ve been given an unexpected gift, but I’m just as bewildered.

“Is it okay to do that to me?”

In the first place… since I took up the role of librarian, I’ve only used this magic a few times.”

Ragnar continued in a slightly forlorn voice. ”

I wonder who would be interested in this place?”

Diagnosis.

***

Ttotttttttgak.

An empty library where only the sound of shoes resonates silently.

I am reading a book in it.

It was thanks to Ragnar’s consideration .

I’ll make it special.]

It was closing time and all the users were kicked out, but Ragnar allowed them to stay while he was organizing

the books

.

I put down the book I was reading for a while and glanced at

Ragnar

.

Every time I move the wand, the books are inserted into the empty bookshelf on their own.

I wondered if I suddenly knew where they were and put them in, but…

Come to think of it, the books in this library didn’t need their place. Just cast a spell and you’ll find the book you want on your own. “Ragna.”

“Tell me.”

” Didn’t I tell you to put all the books you’ve read back in

their

original place when we first met?

” Since it’s magic, there are a lot of people who needlessly ask questions.”

“…I see.”

As a barbarian, these words hurt me very much, but I read the books I used to read again without showing off. Is

it because it’s a book with a high security level?

[Lapdonia organization

chart ]

In a book dealing with the public institutions that exist in this city, there was talk of an organization that included a secret police department, or evil spirit hunters…

[The world of evil spirits]

One book dealt in depth with ‘Ghostbusters.’

For reference, in this book, there was a will of an agent who entered their own spiritual world and returned half-dead

… I don’t think I’m in any danger.’

Thanks to that, I was convinced that I would be able to take the pills in storage later when the time came.

Even after that, I concentrated on reading the book.

I was about to read the next book after finishing one book.

As I read the title of [Crack Chong Hae-rok II] , my hands trembled.

Crack

gun crack? Isn’t this the name

of the book Raven talked about before?

yes.’

How should I say it’s like a strategy book?

It contains all the hidden peace elements that I found out through countless stupid jokes and experiments. Although there

were only four cracks explained due to the physical limitations of the book

… It must be like a treasure to people.’

The contents are so perfectly organized that even I can’t see any parts that can fill in the gaps.

Besides, maybe it’s because they’re stored well? Contrary to Raven’s words that the book was written by

an unknown person, the author’s name was also written on the last page.

Gavis…?” I

read it aloud, and I became as stiff as a stone statue.

‘Why is this crazy bastard’s name suddenly appearing here?’

Auril Gavis

was the name of the game creator of [Dungeons and Stones].
