Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 212 Discard (1)

A man shouted in silence.

“What do you mean we can’t all go together?!”

A voice that clearly shows the anxiety that you might be abandoned at this honeymoon party.

“Let me explain.”

Vice-captain Versil calmly continued.

“Our explorers say that Noark’s side explorers are encamped in all the passages leading to the Dark Zone. They can’t go outside or go inside.”

An incomparable number of troops are encamped in front of them.

At that, another man shouted.

“…From now on, if you want to clear the road, you have no choice but to sacrifice!”

The true meaning of saying that not everyone can go together.

I too had a similar interpretation to that man.

But…

“Maybe it’s similar in some ways.”

The moment you hear a recital that sounds bitter yet meaningful.

pounding-!

My heart started beating uncontrollably.

Vice-captain Versil continued talking without pausing.

Excluding all sorts of excuses, just conclusions.

“I’m going to use multiple teleportation magic.”

Mass Teleport.

High-level special magic that can only be used by 4th grade or higher wizards from certain schools.

I got it now

Why did you say that we can’t all go together?

“…….”

A deeper silence than when I first heard those words weighed down the hall.

“Rain Bjorn? Isn’t it possible to pass without a fight if you use teleportation magic? But why

are everyone’s expressions…….” The reason is simple.

“……Multi-teleportation magic can only be used on up to twenty people.”

As Raven, an incumbent mage, said.

The scalpel can teleport up to 20 people, but we currently have a total of 35 people.

That’s what it means.

’15 people.’

Simply put, a total of 3 teams will be abandoned.

In a situation where the safety zone in the center is left in front of you.

“If you’re going to throw it away like this at the end, why did you say let’s join forces!”

Someone shouted in anger.

However, Versil did not change her expression and only briefly apologized.

“I’m sorry about that part. We didn’t know it would turn out like this either.”

A voice that seems soft but does not leave room.

I sighed quietly.

Persuasion is meaningless to this type.

No matter what I say here, she probably won’t change her decision.

“So how are you going to pick up the 15 people who will be thrown away?”

When I asked, Versil looked at me with a strange expression.

Even in this situation, it seems that the calm barbarian was unusual.

“We’re going to draw lots for each team.”

“Everyone but your team?”

“No. Except for one more team.”

Versil said that while staring to one side.

It was where the team fought their way through, fighting alongside them right behind them throughout the journey.

“I’m sorry. I have a long relationship with Vice-captain Versil.”

The team leader expressed his regret to us without showing any signs of surprise, as if he already knew.

Yes, it was promised in advance.

No wonder. Because they are also a team from a large clan.

But…

‘Nimiral.’

One day a headache comes over me.

There are only two tickets left for the teleport.

On the other hand, there are 3 tickets for the losers.

If you go to the lottery, the probability of being abandoned here has become a greater situation.

But is it because you know that?

“Take us with you.”

The facial expressions of the remaining team all changed.

very desperately.

“Unload 5 million… No, 10 million stones per person.”

Someone offered money.

“We are a team under the Blue Wall Clan. If you take us with you, the Master will definitely give you a big reward…”

Someone promised a future through the faction.

“Well, we don’t have any clans yet. We’re all female. Now we’re active on the 5th floor, but we were originally on the 6th floor. The Larer clan has also recently lost power, so they’re recruiting clan members…” Someone said

. raised himself as an instrument of trade.

None of them willingly offered to draw lots.

It was natural.

After all, no one wants to leave their one and only life to chance.

“Yandel.”

Mr. Bear called me with a heavy voice.

I guess we have to do something too.

I only watched once.

Judgment that it is not too late to suggest something, even if you see what kind of decision Versil Gowland makes.

“I’m sorry. I don’t think it’s right to do it that way anyway.”

“That means…!”

“Yes. The rest of the people will be decided by drawing lots fairly. I hope you understand my decision.”

Versil, who made an exception for only one team as promised, adhered to the principle as he had said at the beginning.

“Versil Gowland, vice-captain of Clan Larer. He’s exactly what I heard.”

Raven chanted as if admiring the loftiness, but it was difficult for me to sympathize.

‘There must have been no offer that was just tempting.’

If he was really fair, he wouldn’t have excluded that other team in the first place. Especially when it is obvious what situation the remaining ones will find themselves in.

‘Anyway, it’s a situation where I have to decide to draw……’

I don’t know if it’s a good thing.

You must have at least once won a prize on something like this.

“Then we’re running out of time, so let’s start right away.”

Afterwards, Bersil made a bag containing five stones, and the lottery was ready.

The rules are really simple.

Two white stones win.

If you pull out three black stones, they will be thrown away here.

“Which team would you like to go first?”

“Do it first with me.”

The first to step out was a team that said they would pay 10 million stones per person.

“To think that my fate would depend on such a stone.”

A Dwarven warrior dressed in fancy gear put his hands in his pockets nervously.

And…

“Ha ha ha ha… that’s it!!”

The first try was successful.

Laughter spread in the team with the dwarves, while the faces of the other teams darkened.

“Come here. Then what’s next?”

In a situation where joys and sorrows intersect, there was no team that came out first.

Because now there is only one winning ticket.

Three is a ticket to hell.

“Mr. Yandel, you have to wait. The probability is that you will get a white stone if you pull it out now.”

25% winning.

Losing 75%.

But, as always, the odds were meaningless.

“After that, we’ll just do it first.”

While I was looking at it awkwardly, a team came out.

It was an all-female team.

“Kyaaaaaaaaa!!!”

I pulled out one remaining white stone.

“…….”

Damn it.

***

“Then it’s all over.”

With just two draws, the fates of all five teams were decided. The other three teams didn’t even have a chance to leave their fate to chance.

“Ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

What did I do while the women’s team pulled out the white stones?

Misha Ainar Raven was contemplating which of the three to choose.

I really didn’t know it would end in two rounds.

‘Does this make sense?’

Suddenly having such a thought, Versil turned the bag inside out and scattered three black stones on the floor.

As if to prove there was no negativity here.

“Then everyone, gather around. We’ll use magic as soon as we’re ready.”

At Versil’s words, those who were chosen quickly gathered in one place.

It was then.

“Wait a minute!”

One of three teams that were mentally out of this situation.

The leader of Erwen’s team, Jugeotteok, hurriedly approached them.

“Please take us too! Please, I’ll do anything!”

A servile plea.

However, she was not a woman who could do that.

“All seats are already filled.”

Hearing Versil’s emotionless voice, his chin turned to pleading.

“If you give me your seat, I’ll give you 10 million stones! No, 20 million stones!”

They said

they would pay money and buy a seat .

Seeing that there is no mention of team members, isn’t it that he wants to live alone?

“…….”

Daria, a member of the same team, frowned as if she were looking at an insect, but her chin didn’t stop talking.

It was not enough to talk from a distance, so I approached each one and asked if they were willing to accept the deal, and they were all turned away.

“Am I really not there?”

Would that be like you?

Money is not the problem, but the moment you sell your place for money, you fall apart from your colleagues.

“If you’re done talking, can you step back?”

“…….”

Versil muttered briefly, and Jakejaw weakly turned his back and returned to the teammate’s place.

With that, the Happening is over.

The wizard on Versil’s side was drawing a magic circle on the floor to use the scalpel teleport.

“Bjorn…….”

“Talk about it later.”

I ignored Misha’s call and spoke to the vice-captain.

“Versil Gowland.”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

It’s kind, but other than that, it’s a voice that doesn’t bury any other emotions.

No sympathy or curiosity.

Well, maybe he thought I was going to be a messy chin.

I smiled and asked a question.

“Why did you place us in the safest formation when moving?”

Versil tilted her head.

But I wonder why I am asking this question.

He just answered whatever he wanted.

“I drew lots. To be fair.”

Yes, everything this bastard said was a lie.

I expected it, but it wasn’t because of the chin that we were placed in the middle formation.

‘Okay, it’s been confirmed that he’s such a bastard.’

Like it or not, I will have to work with the three abandoned teams in the future. How to deal with a sagging chin becomes clearer.

“The question is, is that the end?”

“No, one more thing.”

“Try it.”

“Didn’t you say they’re camped out in the aisle? I’d like to hear more about that. How’s the layout and how strong are they?”

“…Are you sure you guys intend to pierce each other?”

So did you just think you were going to die here?

“If you need.”

In the first place, I only came to this place comfortably while meeting them, but that was my destination from the beginning.

So nothing will change.

“So what’s the answer?”

At my urging, Versil paused and stared at me.

“…He’s really a rumored person. Okay. Xenia?”

“yes. Vice-captain.”

“Go and tell me everything you’re curious about.”

“Yes.”

Afterwards, Versil sent a searcher from her team to me, and I listened to her for general information about the surrounding area.

And maybe 5 minutes had passed?

“Come here, Xenia.”

All preparations for the use of magic were completed, and vice-captain Versil looked at us and left with just one word. “Please do

not resent

me.

” *** “…

You

really went.” As

more than half of the people disappeared, the vacancy felt even bigger.

But the more I did, the more I focused on one thing.

What do I have to do now? ? Well, it’s not

like

you’re wasting precious time brooding over your despondent feelings.

“Mr. Yandel, what are you going to do now?”

” Think about it for a moment.” Either

head towards it

or turn your feet around and find another place.

The latter wasn’t a bad option either

.

The war is in full swing in the center.

In the outskirts, Noark’s strongest people are blocking the road.

On the other hand, there will be relatively few people in the outskirts.

The area is large, so if you avoid and hide well, you should be able to survive.

But. ……

‘I don’t know how things are going.’

This is the biggest drawback.

This chaotic situation where every minute and every second flows differently.

If you stay hidden, you can’t get information on how the situation will go.

Besides…

“At the end of the third day, a hierarchical ruler will appear.”

We can’t defeat the 1st floor lord by ourselves.

If we were summoned during the zone, we would definitely be annihilated.

”

I’ll have to check my strength first

.”

I gathered two other teams in the same situation,

and immediately got to the point:

“Take turns telling each of you the explorer-level Essence specialty

.

” Shouldn’t we have to work together to make this happen?”

“You talk as if you’re a captain.”

At my suggestion, the chin frowned.

Everyone, though not as much as him, was not happy that I was naturally speaking like a leader.

It bothered me.

“Does it matter who the captain is? Even in this circumstance, you’re going to look like an idiot for caring about such a thing.”

“…What? What the hell are you doing now—”

“I’ll pick a captain first if you want to. Can I vote for something?”

I naturally led the topic with a vote.

That’s because Erwen is here.

I decided that if another team member casts one vote for me, I will never lose in the vote.

However, the situation was a bit unexpected . “I don’t think you need to vote.”

“…?”

“If you vote, our team will vote for you.”

The man who is the leader of the remaining team .

“Then, including your team, it already has 10 votes, so there’s no need to

waste

time

. ”

“……What do you mean by that?

You want a barbarian as your leader? Are you sane?”

“First of all, I’m not good at leading anyone.” ”

Then, of course, not a barbarian, but me—” “Anyway, if I were to choose between the two, this one

is much more reliable.”

I think I know roughly what you’re thinking.

He must have thought that I was better than the small chin that he had abandoned and tried to live alone.

After hearing it, there had to be another reason.

“Above all, this man was the only one who asked the woman for information when everyone else was denying reality.

” ….This is embarrassing.

“What’s your name?”

” Takelan Arbenon.”

“I am Yandel’s son Bjorn.”

After formally speaking with Takelan, I returned to the original topic.

Then it’s decided. Now, one by one, tell the explorer grade eaten essence specialties. Only then can we decide what to do in the future—” ”

Wait, who made the decision?”

Hey, this bastard keeps saying.

“Do you have any complaints?”

“Of course—”

“Then go away. We only need the two of us to move together.”

Not wanting to waste any more time, I cut him off and said sternly,

“…Damn it.”

Jaws clenched their fists in resentment, and looked at us. He didn’t leave.

Well,

where is he going in the middle of this

? Do you understand?”

“…….”

“Answer me.”

“……I see.”

Okay then, the ordering is over.

After that, I quickly finished what I was originally going to do.

Who is what position? What kind of essence does it have

?

I checked my approximate history, but my worries deepened even more.

Should I say I’m still not sure? So

I went through an additional confirmation process

.

I listened to each person’s name as I put them together.

To be honest, it would be difficult to remember all of them, but…

‘But there is no Hans.’

Fortunately, there was no Hans.

It was a fairly positive indicator.

This means that the possibility of whatever decision was made later increased slightly.

“What are you going to do now?”

Raven’s question drew 14 eyes to me.

I had to make a decision slowly. Time to do it.

I opened my mouth, clearing away my doubts about my choice

. “We are heading to the safe zone

.

”

I was able to check it just before, but

one thing was certain: even if

they succeeded, not everyone would survive

.

We have to risk our lives to get to the place where someone easily passed over with a single shot of magic.
