Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

My routine here has almost always been the same.

Weiyiing-!

First of all, after turning on the computer and accessing the community, check how many people have accessed the chat room ‘Long live Korea’.

‘No one has come yet.’

After that, I went to the free bulletin board and looked at the latest information quickly, and entered the chat room and Baekho and Nogari until an hour passed.

When Baekho leaves, he spends the rest of his time talking with Hyunbyeol, and when it is time for the round table to open, he naturally breaks up and leaves the chat room.

Click, click.

Today was nothing different from my usual routine.

As always, the free bulletin board was displayed on the monitor as naturally as flowing water today. And I skimmed through the titles of the posts that had already started to come up.

Just like reading the newspaper in the morning while drinking morning coffee.

Leisurely without rushing—.

“…huh?”

The moment I turned over the page that had already been pushed out and checked the title of the first post that came up today, I unknowingly spit such a stupid sound out of my mouth.

It had to be.

[The decision to close the first basement floor of the Royal House of Lapdonia.]

what is this

Click, click.

I thought it was a simple aggro text, but I hit the mouse button repeatedly.

It was a title I couldn’t help but press.

—ㅇㅇㅇㅇ.

Of course, as expected, there was no text content.

Usually, these kinds of people eat the first place first, and then fill in the content with the editing function.

What matters is the comments.

Just looking at it is a minimal fact check.

Just like this.

[arolf5205: Oh, I was going to write this first.]

[NIKAMOTO: This will be a hot topic again.]

[AI_DIDIGO: Information 1, 56% of the first posts on the day the community was opened were posted as hot topics with more than 100 comments.]

[└Ki11Humans77: Wow, Didigo. Please let me eat a level 3 essence on the next exploration.]

[└MarkG: But what’s good about posting a topic?]

[└Paweł: The management team gives some GP. But that doesn’t seem to be the case every time.]

Users are not talking about fishing posts or aggro, but talking about other topics.

One thing was clear from this reaction.

‘Crazy, it was real.’

Decided to close the first basement floor of the Lapdonia royal family.

This information is true and belongs to the ‘common sense’ axis that many people already know.

I quickly refreshed the post and scrolled down.

Yes, productive stories always come later.

Because it takes time to write.

[Darkrealm93: But I don’t understand the royal family either. Why are you preventing me from going on the next exploration?]

[└Akaistos: Didn’t you hear? It’s too dangerous.]

[└Darkrealm93: Is it because I don’t know about that? There must be another reason.]

[└WhyDoYouSniffShit: It’s obvious. It’s in the middle of a war, but it’s going to be pissing because there are guys who keep trying to leave by going to the 1st basement floor.]

[└funkinthetrunk: But I still don’t know how to go down to the 1st basement floor, so does the entry ban mean anything?]

[└WhyDoYouSniffShit: So don’t waste your time on pointless things, just go ahead and do your arrows.]

The situation is roughly understood.

It has been a month since the existence of the first basement floor has been known to the outside world.

In fact, in the last round, two additional clans entered.

and….

‘At that time, both clans said that there were quite a few kids who couldn’t enter.’

There are a bunch of explorers who have returned to the city while looking behind their colleagues heading to the first basement floor.

They must have spread the existence of the first basement floor more and more to the public.

The resourceful ones may have already figured out how to enter.

No, you would have figured it out.

‘So everyone must have prepared to go down. That’s probably why the royal family was trying to stop them too.’

Also, if the information that a large clan can find out, it means that it is reasonable to assume that the royal family is also aware of the entry method…

“Hmm…”

This situation is funny.

After that, I went through the comments and postings that came up like crazy for a while, and I soon let go of the mouse.

Tuk-tuk.

suddenly have a lot of thoughts

If you hit the ban in the royal family, you wouldn’t come down. Jeop, if this is the case, is there no choice but to revise the plan and watch?

I ran various simulations in my head.

And how long has it been like that?

“Oh, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Recognizing that a considerable amount of time had passed while lost in thought, I quickly came to my senses and entered the chat room.

“Brother, are you here?”

“Oh, brother! Are you late again?”

As soon as I entered, Hyunbyeol and Baekho, who were there first, greeted me.

“sorry. You are a bit late today.”

“are you okay. I wasn’t worried anyway.”

“…what?”

I tilted my head as if I didn’t know what I was talking about, and Lee Baek-ho grinned.

“Do you feel that the main character appears late? Well, I don’t see it badly. No, it’s rather cool…”

What is he saying again?

I listened intently.

I smiled and sat down on the empty sofa.

“So, did the two of you have a good time?”

“yes. I’m OK. brother.”

“Baekho, you? are you okay?”

A question that bypasses only good or bad questions, omitting details. But even then, without realizing it, I looked at Hyeonbyeol’s eyes.

But did this guy see it again?

“are you okay. Anyway, Hyunbyul sister knows who I am, right?”

“…uh?”

“Ah brother! I’m a smart guy too, don’t you know that? It’s okay to speak in front of your sister. I am outside the castle right now.”

“…heh.”

When Lee Baek-ho casually talked about his current situation, Hyeon-byeol listened in silence and made an interesting look.

“…Baekho, are you really okay?”

“What’s not okay? After all, all three of us are trending people. I don’t care. To be honest, it was a bit like talking with just the two of us every time, except for my sister. The three of us are more fun when we spread nogari.”

The question remains as to whether this is really the case.

Well, if you say you’re fine, it won’t be a problem for me to say anything.

Besides, there were parts that I could sympathize with.

‘Certainly… when the three of us are talking, it feels like something went wrong…’

To be exact, it is close to the feeling of being in Korea.

Because this was the only place where people could talk about the military, politics, or wanting to eat kimchi.

Life in this world is satisfying enough.

There were definitely moments when I missed those conversations sometimes.

“Anyway, so how about there? Have you met the people of Noark?”

“yes. It’s been about a week now, and now I’m in the stage of wandering around and finding out. Auril Gavis, I haven’t found him yet.”

“Auril Gavis…?”

“Ah, sister Hyunbyeol doesn’t know. The reason I went out of the castle was to find him.”

“Ah… that, is that so?”

Hyeon-byeol was usually not discouraged with the feeling that she was the best, but when a big-scale talk came out so lightly, she seemed to be taken aback.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen something like this.’

Hyeonbyeol glared at me while I was looking at him because I missed him somewhere.

“I just didn’t laugh.”

“I didn’t say anything either.”

“…”

Anyway, after that, I asked Lee Baek-ho what he was curious about outside the wall, and Lee Baek-ho kindly explained the things he found out.

Even in the game, it was a thoroughly unknown area, so each and every little story was interesting, but if I had to pick one out of them, it would be this one.

“It is possible to farm.”

Unlike Lapdonia, life outside the walls is possible without ‘Magic Stones’.

However, that raises the question even more.

“But why do they keep trying to crawl into the labyrinth?”

Why is Noark still fighting the war?

Why can’t he leave the labyrinth until he creates a portal outside?

Unfortunately, Lee Baek-ho couldn’t come up with a clear answer.

“I don’t know. But there must be a reason. The reason is that there is a high possibility that ‘Auril Gavis’ is deeply involved.”

“Is that so? Anyway, okay, let me know if you find out more later.”

“Yes, bro.”

When one topic was settled like that, it was about 10 minutes until Lee Baek-ho logged out, so I spent the rest of the time talking about pointless things.

“Huh, it seems like I just talked a lot about myself today. Next time, please tell me about your brother. I mean, I was curious too. You know what I mean?”

“know. I’ll tell you then.”

“Then see you next time!”

So Lee Baek-ho left when the time came, and nothing special happened during the time he and Hyeon-byeol spent together.

“Looking at him wondering like that, he must be doing something interesting?”

“Ahaha… not really like that…”

“Turn around. I’m going to read a book from now on, can you give it to me too?”

“Ah, then thank you.”

I got used to reading the book from Hyeonbyeol.

I was a bit curious because I was cut off at a fun part the other day.

‘What’s so interesting about this?’

I giggled while reading it, and when the touching part came out in the middle, I blushed my eyes.

As I was immersed in reading, Hyeonbyeol, who was lying on the sofa, tapped my knee with his toe.

“Uh, why?”

“Isn’t it time to go?”

“Ah, yes.”

As I closed the book with a sad heart and stood up, Hyeonbyul said as if tossing it.

“If it’s that much fun, come back later. I’ll lend you another book then…”

“no. It’s not even necessary. There are many GPs, but I just buy and read them.”

“…”

“Then see you next time.”

After that, I came out of the chat room and warmed up by stretching all the way. In fact, strictly speaking, it was a space that did not require stretching at all, but…

If you read a book, you will do something habitually.

Besides, if you do this, it feels like your mind is waking up again.

“Okay, then let’s go.”

There were quite a few things to do at the round table today.

***

A lion mask that covers the entire face.

And under it was a neat navy blue suit.

Looking in the mirror wearing the same set I’ve always worn, for some reason, an inexplicable confidence springs up.

I feel like I’ve become an existence that can do anything.

However, apart from that feeling, I calmly self-diagnosed my current condition.

‘It’s serious.’

After that, it’s hard to do the concept quality on a yearly basis.

Do you think I will be eaten by the concept I created?

Oh, of course, but I have no intention of quitting now.

Tuck, Tuck.

After checking my outfit in the mirror, I walked down the hallway and headed to the round table room.

Again, everyone arrived first.

“Fisisit, are you here?”

“Hehe… Nice to meet you, Mr. Lion!”

“I think I came last today.”

Ignoring their greetings and heading to my designated seat, I suddenly remembered what Baekho said earlier.

[I feel like the main character appears late?]

In fact, for the round table only, Baekho was right.

Because when I came to the round table on purpose, I arrived as late as possible.

However, if I had to make an excuse, it wasn’t that I was enjoying the eyes gathered at the end, it was an act I couldn’t help.

That would be too…

‘It’s even weirder if I come early.’

People who arrive early usually have a conversation.

But what can I do with it?

It wasn’t like they were laughing and having small talk, hahahaha, just sitting next to them would only make the atmosphere weird.

Just like it is right now.

“Then… since we’ve all gathered… I’m going to start…”

“…”

“Is there… something… is there a problem?”

I was just sitting there thinking about something else, ignoring all greetings, but the wolf cautiously looked at me and started talking to me.

“Not at all.”

“Then… let’s begin. They are all busy people.”

For some reason, the wolf was leading the meeting today, leading the conversation.

Well, it’s me, I don’t care who does it, but—.

‘Ah, why does wearing this mask change my mind to the core like this?’

I wonder if it’s a step where I need to be vigilant and careful, but I decided to come up with this idea later and opened my ears.

First of all, the first turn was the deer antlers.

“The royal family guidelines regarding the closure of the first basement floor have been finalized. If you ignore the instructions and go down to the 1st basement level, you will be sentenced to death regardless of your status.”

“It’s an unusually severe punishment.”

“Ah, of course, it’s only severe punishment for clans larger than a certain size, and we believe that even ordinary explorers won’t be punished that way.”

Well, it’s an understandable move.

Even if you prevent the clan from leaving, you will be able to prevent the battlefield from collapsing.

‘Aww, you damn royal bastards. I’ve never really done anything helpful.’

Anyway, starting with the antlers, the members quickly followed the order, but there were a total of two memorable ones.

“When you cast ‘Distortion’ magic on an anonymous statue that appears on the 3rd floor and defeat it, you can get pieces with three types of patterns. These are the keys to the 1st basement floor.”

The queen who shared the entry method for the first basement floor and the archives.

and….

“Fisit, maybe this is good news for you. Unfortunately, the elites of our camp who were attacking the 8th floor failed to attack and suffered great damage.”

clown.

It was something that I could have just skipped over, but as soon as I heard it, I felt like lightning struck my head.

‘The 8th floor attack failed…?’

It’s unfounded, but it doesn’t seem like a mere coincidence.

So, without realizing it, I let out a sound.

“Calchaum.”

One of the rifts on the 8th floor, Kalhaem, the City of Light.

The field where Milayel, who dropped the green giant spear, appears as a rift guardian.

It was the moment I mentioned it.

“…Pi… Sit?”

The clown, who had been laughing with an airy sound, stopped laughing.

“Sir, how did you…?”

What, were you really there?

So, does it have something to do with the failed capture of the rift and its appearance from down here?

As I was reasoning with such thoughts, the clown gathered his mind before he knew it and continued.

“Hmm, hmm! I-I asked a stupid question. If you are a monk, there must be hidden ears in Noark.”

I just left it alone, but it seemed that I was able to attach reasons and convince myself.

Is this why you want to become famous?

I don’t know, but whether the clown made a fuss or not, the members’ eyes were focused on me.

‘It’s already my turn.’

So, what information should I get out?

There was no need to worry about that today.

In the meantime, when interesting information came out, I kept the concept by spitting out corresponding information, but…

‘I didn’t come here today to get information.’

To be precise, that was the original plan, but it was more like a change. Didn’t the royal family throw a lot of shit this time?

If this continues, additional inflows will be cut off.

So I have no choice but to actively respond.

‘The queen told me how to enter, so you can just pass it…’

Although the royal family put the death penalty, I didn’t worry too much.

That’s because I know a lot about the race of explorers.

“The archives on the first basement floor.”

Explorers do not value their lives.

“Here, Bjorn Yandel acquired two single number items in two months.”

If only there was enough gold beyond that.
