Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian -
Chapter 658
Chapter 658: Outsider (2)
Outside the castle walls, where no living thing has been known to live due to a witch’s curse for over thousands of years.
I don’t know much about the area beyond.
The royal army went underground to annihilate Noark. On that day,
a mysterious wizard suddenly appeared and saved the Noark faction and allowed them to escape outside the castle walls…
And that very day…
‘June 2, 154, the year of Gaebyeok’
Players who were also part of the Noark faction first appeared in the community. The news was announced and it quickly spread throughout the city.
However, there are two strange things here.
1 It spread so quickly, as if it was hoping for a rumor to spread.
2 However, in the meantime, there was not a single piece of meaningful information.
Organized information. Circumstances that raise reasonable doubts as to whether control was not in place·
Also, even the soft-spoken clown did not provide much information about the outside of the castle walls at the round table·
Well, if I had to pick just one, would it be this?
[After coming out of the city and looking around, I realized that there may be some differences in topography and structure, but this land is very similar to the 7th floor Dark Continent!] According to the
clown, this continent where the final citadel Lapdonia is located is It means that the topography is similar to the 7th floor Dark Continent… [
… If this is true, then the hypothesis may be true…]
[Do you mean the hypothesis that the labyrinth is not a passage connected to another dimension, but a dimension created by someone? ]
[The crystal cave and the rocky desert… may have been created in the shape of an existing space…]
The members of the round table who heard this story expressed their opinions, and some of the guesses were true…
That is because they were directly discovered through exploration…
‘Most of the places that exist within the labyrinth are modeled after real places…’
I saw a lot of evidence and physical evidence during my adventure-like exploration, and I don’t doubt this premise at all…
But…
‘That’s why it’s even weirder.’ Of course…
All maps of the ancient continent have been lost and no data remains…
However, the records themselves do not exist at all…
[Because it is one of the few families that still insist on naming in the central style…]
[It is natural for you to feel unfamiliar. · There are not many families in this city like ours who still have the blood of the Eastern Continent so strongly…]
[···It is a southern-central style naming…]
Among the residents of Lafdonia, they still remember their ancestors and family history and have an identity. There are people who want to protect it…
You don’t have to go far, even for us barbarians…
According to records, the barbarians were a race that lived in the rough terrain in the north and south of the continent, fighting monsters…
But the problem is…
‘Raph in the north’ They said it took more than two years to get to Donia…
This is the distance reported in the records…
However, in the case of the dark continent within the labyrinth, one or two months is enough to get from end to end…
So where did this gap come from?
‘Well, actually, this is a good thing…’
The vampire man said to me on the first basement floor…
[There were only humans in that era…?]
In ancient times, other races did not exist…
And if that is true, then the world’s This means that all history and records are fabricated.
What on earth is the truth?
What secrets are hidden in this world?
Until now, I didn’t actively try to replace out because I thought I could just do my job.
But now the situation is This has changed…
Isn’t it a situation where the Noark guys have invaded and taken over an area within the castle walls? The
royal family’s reaction to this is also somewhat unclear…
‘… I need to know now…’
I know the information they know. You have to have it so you can prepare for the future.
It’s the same when you play games, right?
If you don’t know, you have no choice but to be unfairly beaten…
“···Yandel?”
“Oh, I’m sorry… I was thinking about it…”
At this point, I finished thinking and headed back to where the people were.
“Hahaha! Did you see it! “My spear is stronger than arrows!!”
“···I’m afraid I’ll get hurt, so I’m only moderately hungry! Once again! Let’s do it again!”
“uh? “Where have you been?”
Okay, let’s rest for now…
***
The day after the welcome ceremony that lasted until late at night…
I woke up around sunset and headed to the sewer with three guides…
Oh, by the way, the guides were Amelia, Erwen, and Bersil… ···
“Wow… It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the sewer· But what brought you here, sir?”
“I came here to replace something…”
“Aha! “That’s why you called the three of us!”
Amelia and Erwen are the most specialized in searching among the Anavada members, and in the case of Versil, he is the only wizard…
“Can I hear what you are looking for? I thought I could take the lead in helping if I knew that…”
Soon, in response to Versil’s question, I honestly revealed the reason I came here.
“Today, we will replace a path here that connects to the outside of the castle wall…”
“The castle wall… Outside…?”
When he nodded his head in agreement, Versil, who was slightly embarrassed, regained his composure and carefully asked,
“…Are you planning to go outside the castle walls?”
“Okay… I think I can judge whether something is real or not by going out there in person at least once…”
“Ah…”
“For now, just keep it to yourself… Understand?”
Since I wasn’t the type of person to go out and talk somewhere, I gave him a brief warning and continued on my way.
There was no way the hidden path leading to the outside world was in the sewer where vagrants were hiding.
First of all, I went down further in the sewer and went to the basement where (former) Noark was. We have to go to the fortress—
Tuk·
At that time, Amelia, who was walking ahead, stops while giving a hand signal to be quiet.
Erwen also looks at me and nods slightly, so it seems like she feels something at the same time…
‘Slowly…’
‘Step back. ·’
‘Come here…’
Soon, I followed Amelia’s hand signal and entered a side road and hid myself. Before long, even my insensitive ears could feel the presence of someone. ·
Clap, clap, clap.
At least two people were wandering around the sewer, and the sound was getting closer and closer. It got bigger ·
‘Are you a vagabond?’
That’s what I thought at first, but if that had really been the case, Amelia wouldn’t have tried to hide. As
we waited with bated breath, they finally passed by where we were hiding.
‘···Knight?’
They are not even ordinary knights.
Rather than belonging to a specific family, they are a two-member knight in full armor with the royal family symbol engraved on their chests.
“What is it, Emily? “Why are those guys wandering around the sewers at this hour?”
“Oh, you didn’t know? Since that incident a few months ago, the vigilance has become more intense and drivers are regularly patrolling the sewers…” “
Now that I think about it, I think I also saw it in the newspaper… Thanks to that, the seed of vagabonds living in the sewers has dried up…”
Hmm, these days. Have I not read the newspaper too much?
Anyway, I was very surprised to see a driver suddenly patrolling.
The thief said he was going crazy.
I thought he might have thought we would come here and posted it.
“Then let’s keep moving. There are only a small number of patrol personnel deployed in the sewer, and they are not so thorough.” It doesn’t seem like they’re searching,
so it’s unlikely they’ll get caught along the way…” “…then that’s a good thing…”
It’s a new thing to say, but even though I saw the knight on patrol, I didn’t feel particularly nervous…
I also believe in Amelia’s ability to infiltrate. ·
Should we say that things are different now than they were in the past?
Even if something goes wrong, two knights can turn it into a knight in the blink of an eye.
In fact, if they don’t want to go wrong, they should be more careful, not us,
… There it is… Just wait a moment…”
When they arrived at the road leading to Noark, Amelia squatted in front of the entrance and touched something with her hand…
And…
“You can go in now… I’ve dismantled it carefully so that no traces remain…”
Ah, they said it was a device and something like that. I guess there was
something like that in the movies. They put something like a small piece of paper in the crack of the door to check who came in, and
so
on. As I trudged down the stairs, an underground space appeared, the purpose of which was unknown, unlike a sewer.
The height of the ceiling and the structure of the walls are all different, so it feels like you are in a three-dimensional maze…
‘If you think about it, this was… the place where you fought with that Karui priest…’
Was her name… Elisa?
It was so long ago, around the time I had just consumed the Orc Hero Essence, that I don’t remember it well…
Anyway…
He was quite a strong enemy, but not only me, but also Team Banpoon’s overall specs went up significantly, so I was able to catch him…
‘No one was with me at that time… ‘
You should have brought Mishara too?
Then, we could have chatted while talking about that… ‘
Oh, now that I think about it, Amelia was there too…’
Of course, we weren’t colleagues at the time, but rather we were closer to enemies…
Well, she was kind in her own way(?), so even though we all lost the fight. Although he was able to survive…
“Tersia, do you sense someone’s presence?”
“No…”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad… Same goes for me… It looks like there won’t be any patrols from here on, so I’ll speed up…”
After that, as I increased my movement speed in earnest, the maze section ended quickly and I finally arrived at my destination.
“This is Noah.” Leuk…!”
Bersil exclaims in exclamation
as he looks at the cave, which is so vast that it is difficult to think of it as underground. The stone gate is much larger than the palace gate
. “Mr. Gowland, is this your first time here?”
“This is my first time coming this deep… I participated in the first subjugation, but as you know, back then I couldn’t even get here and had to retreat…” ”
Ah… I heard… a lot of people died back then…”
I was listening to the conversation between the two. A Canadian player I suddenly met in the community comes to mind…
He was a guy who was dragged into the community the moment he got stabbed in the neck during battle…
‘I was supposed to tell you the news when I got back…’
It’s funny, even though I had forgotten about it for a while, he gave me the address. Wow, I still remember the words clearly.
Is it because it left such an impression on me?
“What are you doing? “Without coming?”
“Oh, I’m going…”
After a moment of being immersed in old memories, Amelia opens the side door discreetly located next to the huge door, and Bersil, a first-time traveler, tilts his head.
“Huh? “You’re not going in through that door, are you?”
“It doesn’t matter since there is no gatekeeper, but is there any reason to leave the easy path alone?”
“… That’s right… But there is also a gatekeeper, right?”
“There was… His name wasn’t known to Lafdonia, but he was one of the most powerful people in Noark—·”
As she said that, Amelia was about to cross the side door first and go inside·
“Hahahaha!! “Thank you so much for criticizing me so much!!”
Suddenly, boisterous laughter erupts from behind…
“···!”
Neither Erwen nor Amelia seemed to have felt that they were popular at all, so they turned away in shock, and I did the same.
“I never imagined that I would run into other guests in a place like this, and people so famous!”
When I turn around and check for the owner of the voice, I see a man with a physique as stocky as that of a barbarian.
Even just looking at him,
he gives the impression that he is far from being stealthy. However, the reason why he was able to get so close without pretending to be human was very simple.
That’s right [Dungeon Ann [Stone] is a team game…
“Even if we just pass by, we’re meant to be, so why not say hello!” “I am Rek Aures, the former gatekeeper of Noark!”
Colleagues who were hidden behind the man who was standing at the forefront, which could be said to be a tank position, appear one by one…
“Oh, and these are my colleagues…”
‘One, two, three, four…’
The total number of people is five. ·
The numerical advantage was on the other side, and the qualitative advantage doesn’t seem to make any difference ·
I wonder if it makes sense for our members to be pushed out in the latter category, but…
Excited!
Because everything in the world is relative…
“Huh? White tiger! “Why are you so quiet today? Didn’t you say you were close friends with that Baron Yandel over there?”
…I never thought I’d meet these guys here…
