Chapter 72
Episode 72 Ghostbusters (1)
Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, I thought.
The last thing I saw before passing out was the gloomy sky unique to this city…
‘This must be a makeshift tent for patients. There must have been many injured people besides me.’
In fact, looking to the side, I can see that the hospital beds are closely attached to each other.
I grasped the situation as naturally as breathing.
Inside the tent, where the silence lingers.
Most of the used hospital beds are empty.
That is to say.
‘It must have been quite a while.’
So, what I have to do is set.
Just checking how much time has passed.
I feel a heavy sense of heterogeneity in the abdomen of the car as I slowly try to raise my upper body so as not to surprise my muscles.
As soon as I realized my identity, I laughed out loud.
‘I wondered where he went…’
Misha was sleeping with her stomach cut.
It even makes a distinctive snoring sound that gurgles.
On the other hand, I wonder if there is any meaning at all.
‘Well, he must have been tired too.’
Elisa, a Karui priest.
A distress period in the witch’s forest.
A chase with the lord of chaos, Liakis.
If you think about what you’ve been through, it’s not something you can’t understand.
But…
“Wake up Misha.”
Right now, my curiosity comes first, so I shook Misha up without hesitation.
“Huh? Ugh… Bi Bjorn! Wake up! How are you? How are you feeling?”
“As you can see, it’s fine.”
The left ankle, which had been broken, moved well, and the arm, which had been ripped off, was restored to its original state.
In that sense, the first question.
“Did you use the highest quality potion?”
“No, the priest came and healed me.”
“How much does treatment cost?”
“Don’t worry about that. It’s been a while since the disaster subsidy came out from the Ki Guild…”
No, I’m worried about you.
“So how much is it?”
“…300,000 tons.”
“Right.”
Whoo Still, it’s much cheaper than the best potions.
I was worried because he was a priest, but it seems that the guild’s support money came out quite generously.
“Why are you making that face? Good job.”
“But Bjorn doesn’t like money…”
Uh sure that’s the case.
What is my image to him?
“However, money can’t be more important than your body.”
It wasn’t just restoring the crushed flesh.
Moreover, it is not that the cut sections were joined together.
It was the process of fixing the arm that had been ripped off to the bone and left in the labyrinth.
‘There must have been no answer with natural regeneration.’
I completely erased my lingering feelings.
Didn’t it take a lot of time for the severed finger to grow when he tested the limits of his regenerative power through an experiment with Raven the other day?
Anyway, the second question at this point.
“So how long has it been since you came out of the labyrinth?”
“Per six hours.”
Well, somehow it was still bright outside the tent.
It wasn’t because the whole day had passed.
“A backpack?”
“It’s fine. Of course, the inside too!”
“What about magic stones?”
“I combined yours and changed it all into money.”
“Has anyone visited me while I was passing out?”
“Ah, Hikurod’s went there!”
“…a dwarf?”
As I tilted my head, Misha slowly explained what had happened.
To put it simply, I was reunited with Hikurod and the
others who came here by chance about 5 hours ago…
“I confirmed that he was alive, so he went to bed saying he was tired now.”
“Right.”
I don’t feel any sad feelings.
It would have been the same even if it was the other way around.
Doesn’t it mean I’ll wake up sooner just because I’m here anyway? It’s overdue, so we can talk about it two days after we’re supposed to meet.
“Then what else do I need to do to get out of here?”
“I just need to pack my things and leave. I’ve done all the troublesome things in advance.”
“Right.”
I am about to get up after pulling off the blanket, but Misha hurriedly stops me.
“Don’t get up for a second!”
“……?”
“Wow, put this on first…”
No further explanation was needed.
“Ah…”
While Misha turned her back to look elsewhere, she put on the new clothes that were neatly folded on the table.
By the way, even buying clothes in advance.
Contrary to what you usually look like, you have a delicate corner.
“Does the clothes fit well?”
“It fits well.”
To be honest, it’s a little too small…
In the first place, it’s difficult to find clothes of the right size in this city.
Anyway, when I left the tent, the sun was setting.
“Misha, where are you staying?”
“It’s District 8.”
“Then we can go together.”
Since we were heading in the same direction, as we headed back to the lodging together, our appearance contrasted with the surroundings.
People roaming the streets wearing clean everyday clothes, not heavy and hard metal armor.
“What are you looking at Bjorn like that? Hurry up and die most tired.”
After walking for about 30 minutes on a clean street, we came to the accommodation.
By the way, it seems that Misha’s dorm is about 10 minutes further from here.
“It’s closer than you think.”
“I mean. Why didn’t I know before?”
“Anyway, go now. You must be tired too. Thank you for today.”
“Wait a minute!”
A car Misha, who is about to say goodbye quickly and enter the inn, grabs my wrist.
“Is there anything else I need to know right away?”
“No, it’s not like that……”
If it’s not like that, then what.
When I looked at her, telling me to hurry up and tell her business, Misha smiled and let go of my wrist.
“It’s okay, I’m not going to scold you for saying the same thing over and over again.”
“Same thing?”
“Then I’ll go, guaranteed tomorrow!”
Before I could ask anything back, Misha ran and disappeared.
“tomorrow?”
Wasn’t it the day after tomorrow that everyone decided to get together?
The last word was a bit questionable, but it was annoying to think about, so I quickly entered the inn. And after roughly washing my body, I had a simple meal on the first floor.
As always, I realized it only when I lay down on the bed.
‘He came back alive this time.’
came back alive
fuck.
***
Noon the next day.
I woke up to the sound of a knock on the door. I tried to just ignore it and sleep, but I have to be persistent.
“…Misha?”
“I thought you were sleeping too.”
“Why are you here? The appointment time must have been tomorrow night?”
At my grumbling question, Misha smiled and spread the bundle on the table.
I tried something and it was food.
“Come quickly and sit down. If you don’t eat and sleep like that, you’ll hurt your body.”
No, barbarians don’t have anything like that?
As I stared at it with a puzzled look, Misha eventually grabbed my arm and pulled me.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Even if you’re sleeping, don’t you just eat and then go to sleep?”
I wondered what would happen if I skipped a meal or two, but since I was sincere, I obediently obeyed.
The menu is stir-fried vegetables with egg and grilled meat.
“How are you?”
“…It’s delicious. Could it be that you made it yourself?”
“Then where do you think you’ll sell something like this?”
That’s just what you should do.
Anyway, I haven’t really seen it like that, but I can’t believe I’m good at cooking.
“At first, I made it myself to save a little money, but it was fun, so I’m still doing it.”
“Um, but didn’t you say you were staying at an inn?”
“Ah, that’s how it happens. I became close with the chef, so when I say I’m going to use it for a while, he says yes.”
“Right.”
“Later, when the opportunity arises, Bjorn should try it. It’s nice to be able to save a lot more money than I thought.”
to cook?
There’s really nothing he can’t say to a barbarian. Or am I just not familiar with barbarians?
“It is a warrior’s shame to cook.”
“Is that like that?”
He nodded his head firmly and put on an expression that said that Misha was like that, then cautiously made a suggestion.
“Well, then I can do it for you…”
What else did he say?
“Okay, what do you do that? It’s more comfortable to just buy and eat.”
“Is that so?”
“Anyway, how did you know about the lake? I don’t think they told you that far.”
“Oh that? I asked the innkeeper where the barbarian was, and he just told me?”
“…Right.”
Afterwards, as we were chatting and stuffing food into our mouths, the bowl soon became empty.
“Then what are you going to do? Sleep better?”
I thought for a while and replied.
“Now that this has happened, I’m thinking of going back to the commercial district for a while.”
Originally, I was going to sleep until tomorrow night, but I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep even if I lie down again.
It’s a kind of obsession.
Unless you’re about to collapse from exhaustion right away, you can’t allow yourself to take a break after putting off what you have to do.
“It’s better. Mischa, you go too.”
“Huh? Me too? I was going to go back to sleep…”
Misha blurted out her words with a puzzled face.
In my experience, it was necessary to speak strongly at times like this.
“Isn’t it you who woke me up? Take responsibility.”
“Heeing, I understand. I had to go to drop off the equipment anyway…”
Where are you going to run to?
***
First of all, I disposed of all the acquired equipment.
It wasn’t as lucrative as expected since he had already paid 2 million stones worth of equipment to the Dzarwi Clan.
‘Among these, what I got from Hans’s group will have to be divided into 5 separate parts…’
Still, after selling the equipment and various consumables of the three religious men, a lot of money was gathered.
It was great that one of the three was the owner of an expandable backpack.
Well, I had a lot of money to pay.
“…The repair cost is 500,000 stones?”
“It’s a piece of equipment made of lithium. I don’t know if it’s bent or bent, but it can’t be helped because it’s corroded so badly.”
anyway it is
Asking 500,000 stones to repair equipment worth 4,000,000 stones in total?
Calling this a barbarian—
“Don’t push yourself too hard, Bjorn. It’s not like he’s saying anything wrong…”
I felt sick to my stomach, but seeing Misha, a 5-year-old explorer, do that, it seems to be a normal price.
So I just paid.
‘…how much is the bone loss?’
If you are an efficient gamer, it is none other than gold loss that is more terrifying than muscle loss.
I went through it step by step.
‘I left Mace in the labyrinth along with one arm, and on the way I used an advanced potion, and the treatment cost was 300,000 stones and the repair cost was 500,000 stones…’ The more I think about it, the more my stomach hurts
.
If I hadn’t handed over 2 million stone worth of equipment for protection, I would have been able to laugh at this much…
“Bjorn, don’t do that too much. If it’s money, I’ll work hard in the future…”
Yes, let’s think positively.
In fact, this is the second biggest income in this exploration.
Oh, of course, the first is Orc Hero Essence
. I got a lot of consumables, so I actually have a lot of money to spend later…….’
“What are you doing, Bjorn? Come on, don’t go in.”
I finished my thoughts and entered the inn with Misha. It’s not Mishana’s or my accommodation, but an inn located in Commelby, a business
district .
Didn’t they say you had to move quickly?”
“Okay, stop nagging me.”
Upon entering the inn, I asked for two rooms at the counter and was slapped on the back by Misha.
“Crazy! You know how much it costs per day! Catch only one.”
“…Catch only one?”
I think it should be the other way around, but……
“I thought this was Ravigion! In a place like this, it’s usually more than 10,000 stones per night, but that’s a lot!”
“That’s right. I think I only need one room.”
Now that I look at it, I was able to get my back.
It looked cheap, so I came here, but 9,000 stone per night? It
‘s in the center of the city, so
prices are crazy. ‘There must be a reason why he asked to move quickly…’
Still, the room itself was expensive.
It wasn’t the type of goshiwon I was staying in, but a structure in which the living room, bedroom, and bathroom were separated.
Of course there were windows .
The living room has a small terrace, and the room smells like flowers.
“Look at this, Bjorn! Artian Workshop Soap Party! Let me use this for free!!”
At first, Misha, who had been scolding me for wasting money unnecessarily, found something and went into the bathroom. When she came out, she looked
very satisfied .
.”
I thought it was such a fuss, but after lying down on the wide bed, I had no choice but to agree.
“Yes… let’s work hard.”
After that, the bed should be this soft.
‘When will I be able to sleep in a bed like this every day? ……’
I feel that I have a long way to go.
A city where savagery and civilization coexist.
How many more looters and monsters will I have to kill in order to live here more humanly than I do
now ?
*** My eyes slowly close.
***
At that time, when most of them were asleep,
the bar where those who regret today gathered was as noisy as usual, maybe more than usual.
“Did you hear the news?
” Are you talking about the monarch?”
“Yes, I heard that more than thirty people in Clan Dzarwi died because of him.”
“What’s the point of thirty people? The guild will announce it tomorrow, but the total number of deaths is in the hundreds.” ”
So, the culprit who summoned the hierarchical lord hasn’t been caught yet?”
If you’re an explorer, you can’t help
but be interested. There was a story that spread slowly and unknowingly by people,
“Ah, you guys know that? That’s what I heard from one of the survivors… I heard that one person’s performance was especially important for the Dzarwi clan to survive that much?”
”
“No, I heard it was an explorer on the 3rd floor who happened to be there.”
“Hmm, is there anyone among the explorers on the 3rd floor who could do that? What’s his name?” ”
That’s it…”
Son of Yandel Bjorn,
a barbarian who entered the 3rd floor after only 3 months. The
unbelievable bravery he showed by rescuing countless people from danger was sometimes not wrong, and other times it was a little exaggerated and spread. However, the ending of each
story It came down to one thing:
“The wizard who told me the story didn’t hesitate to say this about the barbarian.”
“What?
“Even though he was young and could not accomplish the feat of a hero, it is clear that he will follow his footsteps, borrowing the name of a hero who was braver and greater than anyone else…”
Lee Myung-myeong.
Another name that can only be obtained by explorers with both skill and reputation.
“It’s not enough to call it a small Vulcan.”
The tinnitus was heard everywhere without falling out.
