Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

However, the aftermath of this echo was by no means small.

“crazy……!”

The one who spat out curse words like a flagship.

“Somehow, that’s why I did those things as naturally as breathing.”

one who understands

“But wait, isn’t this a big deal? If it’s Baroness Bjorn Yandel, it must be……”

And even those who show vigilance.

I spoke quickly before saying anything.

“Don’t worry, the word ‘evil spirit’ is not true. I can’t tell you the details, but I made an agreement with the royal family and faked my death and announced it like that.”

Of course, this is not true.

However, it was an excuse that was convincing to some extent, and the crew showed a calmer reaction than expected.

“Now I understand it. There’s no way an unknown explorer should be given an important position like the expedition leader…

”

“Actually, I couldn’t believe that a man like that suddenly died in the labyrinth.”

“But what the hell was the reason for spreading false information about demons…?”

In the midst of this, the members of the crew showed their curiosity towards me, perhaps due to the natural explorer’s temperament, but now was not the time to kindly explain such things.

“I’ll explain later when I get a chance. That’s not what’s important right now.”

James Carla, who had opened his mouth wide as I cut off the fuss and finally came to his senses, asked me.

“Suitz. No, Bjorn Yandel… No, Baron Bjorn Yandel!”

It’s cute when you don’t know what to do.

“I don’t quite understand. If so, why would the royal family use you as a discard?”

I laughed at the guy’s question.

“Well…”

There are many guesses.

“An explorer’s hero who earned the title of nobility after decades in return for saving many lives.”

It’s hard to say with my own mouth, but first of all, this is me.

“As expected, from their point of view, wouldn’t it be much better to just quietly disappear?

“Ah…”

James Carla gave a nod.

However, in fact, this is not the end.

I can’t even tell them about the suspicion.

Perhaps the Marquis knew that I was an evil spirit long ago.

No, it certainly would have been.

Even so, the reason I sent my son at night to check whether it was an evil spirit or not…

‘It must have been just to deceive me.’

Because he who thinks he is being deceived finds it difficult to think that he is being deceived.

“Okay then, my story ends here.”

Saying that, I glanced around at the crew.

So, with the question of how you guys are in your eyes.

“I received a promise from the Marquis in return for this job. But he… seems to have no intention of keeping that promise.”

Let’s start with Lavien.

“I… was sent into a coma, only to regain consciousness thanks to the Tovera cult’s ‘agent’. In return, I was chained to the cult. If you’re looking for a mage to use as a throwaway, you wouldn’t have a better option than me.”

Versil Gowland.

“Last year, my granddaughter died. There is no proof, but by a knight belonging to the marquess. I’ve been looking for that knight all along. Maybe he knew it and approached me.”

Our team’s supernatural magician, Didi, is the inspiration.

“I found out by accident that the magic tower lord was colluding with the royal family. I needed power to publicize it, and that’s why I participated in the expedition because I needed a lot of money. But he seems to have already known about me.”

Riard Ashed, a wizard of the Langman School, whose master is the Magic Tower Master.

“Wait!

I know that you are an evil spirit, and heaven knows.

How could the secret be leaked?

Goblin Mask Sven Farab’s unfair cry was quickly skipped.

Even after that, whenever our eyes met, the members shuddered and confessed their personal circumstances.

“…….”

Of course, there were those who were silent.

However, they were just keeping their mouth shut because they didn’t want to reveal their private parts, and they also had an expression that they could guess something.

When the unexpected confession time continued.

Someone shouted out loud as if it was unfair.

“Wait a minute! I… I have no reason to be abandoned by the Church!”

He was a member of the Kaislan team under the name of Perriton Eriabosti.

“There must be something wrong with this. I just applied when I received applicants because I thought it was all for people…” It’s

not a lying voice.

No, it’s not really a lie.

I said with sincere regret.

“Then I’m sorry. You just got caught up in bad luck.”

“Wait! Unlucky enough to get caught up in—”

“Aren’t there other cases similar to yours?”

For example, Erwen and Amelia.

The same goes for the knight Pasible Eric Colson, who has lived in Kaislan’s amputee for nearly 10 years. Same goes for Rick Jugersta, James Carla’s best friend.

Well, since these guys got caught up in misplacing their friends, they’ll feel less unfair than this girl.

“that……!”

The priest, who seemed really innocent, lowered his head.

No, it wasn’t just her.

As expected, the atmosphere of the expedition was close to that of a mourning house.

“Really… are we abandoned?”

“If it turns out like this, you can’t help but believe it…”

“Then… even if you die alive, you’re saying that the royal family will eventually try to kill you somehow?”

“Damn it!!”

Like a kite with a broken string, their eyes begin to shake with nervousness.

“Are we going to die? Really? Here…?”

someone desperate

“I… I have work I must do!”

someone outraged.

“…Something doesn’t make logical sense! Then what happened to Pyke Neldine?”

Someone vomits doubts and longs for a glimmer of hope.

“If you were going to throw us all away, there’s no reason to ruin the mission with a trinket!”

Oh that.

That’s something I’ve been thinking about too.

There were two possible cases that could be conceived.

The first is that the guild leader did not want to give up his major to the Marquis.

That’s because I’m the expedition leader.

Destroy the Eye of the Sky and when we wipe out most of our majors will go to the Marquis, but what if you wanted to sabotage that?

‘It’s quite possible. If I had lost all my food in Ice Rock, I would have died without even crossing this place.’

That possibility clearly exists.

But…

tuk-tuk.

I’d rather not talk about this.

Soon I made a decision.

It’s enough for me to worry about the worst.

So…

“Why did someone send a sajak?”

Only the team leaders knew that the guild leader was behind the trio.

Let’s say what we need now.

“Isn’t that simple?”

Maybe that’s exactly what everyone wants to hear.

“It’s in the city out there!”

I spoke to everyone in a strong voice.

“The one who hopes we won’t be meaninglessly consumed in a place like this!”

Even if it’s a vain hope.

“As long as we return alive, the one who will help us against the royal family!”

You just have to move on.

’cause we’re still alive

***

A room where all the windows are closed and no light enters.

That is the current situation of our expedition.

Half of it is what I intended.

[What would change if I told you to miraculously get rid of them? Back to the city hahahoho A smiling future? Do you think there’s such a thing?]

When he said that in front of the crew, I didn’t stop him.

[······I am Bjorn Yandel.] I

said the name that would be like a death sentence to them.

[Really… are we abandoned?]

[If things turn out like this, you can’t help but trust them…] He

took control of the situation and erased hope from all members of the team. It was the same act as closing the windows of a dark room one by one.

The reason I did that is simple.

Those who dream of a golden future break easily.

That’s why…

the tiny light that streams in through the cracks in the slightly open window.

For now, I decided that was enough.

At least you can make everyone look at one place and move on.

“If I go back, I can live…?”

“But… I don’t even know who he is? I wonder if he really has that kind of power…”

They clearly saw the light.

I don’t know if I didn’t see it in vain.

That alone is certain.

That’s why…….

“Everyone listen up!”

Now I have no choice but to try to encourage them somehow.

Let’s go towards the light even if we crawl in the dark.

I don’t know if there will be a cliff at the end or what.

Let’s at least check it out.

“I am Bjorn Yandel!”

say my name

And ask.

“Have you ever heard of it?”

The crew responded.

“How can I not know its name?”

“He’s an explorer who became a nobleman after decades.”

“Even when I heard the news that he died, there was no such uproar.”

A limp voice with no spirits.

The more I did, the louder I shouted.

“I’m glad you’ve heard of it! I won’t say much! Our situation is at its worst!”

“In the back, unnecessarily strong dogs are chasing us, and in the city, some wolves are waiting for us!”

“but……!”

“I’ve never had to give up before, and neither have I.”

I tell them

“I, Bjorn Yandel, promise to you with a warrior’s heart.”

I can’t even dare to say that I’m saving everyone.

“I will do the hardest work.”

“I’ll do the dirty work that no one else wants.”

“Where there is blood, I will walk in first, and if someone has to get hurt, I will get hurt.”

“therefore……!”

I politely asked.

“Follow me.”

The sound was small, but it must have pierced everyone’s ears.

“…….”

“…….”

But no answer came back.

Should I say we’re busy just noticing each other?

Even though I said it so earnestly, it’s like that.

Ha, a real person is getting hot.

“If you’re going to throw your life into the gutter anyway, throw it away at me!!”

After all, do you have to make a sound to hear it?

***

“If anyone knows, get ready. We’ll be leaving in a minute.”

After saying that, I turned my back.

There was someone who immediately followed.

“Come with me, uncle!”

Erwen Fornacci di Tercia.

“I’m glad If the departure was delayed, I was going to start alone.”

Amelia. Even if I go into the flames

, my

precious colleagues will follow

me .

Even at the moment of collapse, the author will stand firm. I don’t know what’s on this end, but I’ll follow my back.”

Soon after, Kaislan stood behind me.

Next was Aqurava.

“I had no intention of giving up here from the beginning. Have there been any situations worse than this? If I had given up at that time, I wouldn’t be standing here right now.”

Jun stood next to Akurava, and later, when James Carla joined, the members began to stand up one by one.

“Bjorn Yandel… he’s more ignorant than rumors. I mean.”

“Kuhk I thought he was talking about something cool, but at the end he screamed loudly.” “I rested enough, so

let’s go again.”

“Isn’t he saying he’ll do all the dangerous things? If you sit down after hearing these words, you can’t be considered an explorer.”

“But you can’t die here…”

“Wait a minute! Everyone, don’t just stand still, let’s stand in formation! True to form! Yes?”

Before the one minute I said, all the crew were seated behind me. It wasn’t

a particularly moving scene

.

He should have come,

but…

“Yandel! So, when are we leaving?”

“Hey, what do you say to the commander…”

“You really care about everything. If something goes wrong, everyone will die anyway?”

Isn’t there a saying that it’s different and different? The

lethargic eyes that seemed like they couldn’t cut an orc properly began to come alive.

I was afraid to be left alone

. “I don’t like things.

That’s why I couldn’t have brought about it if I had followed it reluctantly . “Okay

then, we’ll just have to take care of one more thing before we leave.

”

Ignoring this, I headed for the sled,

and a warrior urgently approached me.

“Wait! Didn’t you pull it alone until now? From now on, we’ll be together…”

What?

Who said when and when? “Wait… Why

are you unloading the food boxes from the sled?”

.”

“…… Huh? fill the stomach? Then what about the rest…?”

What should I do with the rest?

I have to throw it away.

Huung!

I barely managed to drop the two sleds I was dragging down the cliff.

The cliff was so deep that it took more than ten seconds before Kuung! A faint voice came in.

“……Foolish!”

“What have you done!”

What are you doing

? Why are they moving faster than us

? If you do, you’ll soon be caught up by them.”

“That’s true, but food…”

“What’s the problem? The food in the backpack should suffice until we get out of the glacier’s eyes.”

“Ha, but! What are you going to do next!”

It was a reasonable question and worry.

With the luggage reduced, even if the snow section of the glacier ends in the next two days, we still have to endure for another 8 days until the labyrinth is closed.

But… .

_

Did I do it without thinking?

Before the agitation grew even bigger, I quickly shared my plan:

“When the snow of the glacier ends, monsters will appear.”

“Monsters…?

” ..!”

I didn’t deny their question.

“Yes, from there, we use distortion magic to supply meat.”

For some reason, the agitation seems to have increased at these words

. ..”

“I’m going to turn around.”

“Hey… I…I just thought I’d rather die here.”

This is the best way.
