Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 249 The Gnome Tree (3)

The content of the request Shabin said was really simple.

“You can deliver this letter to Baron Nertobin.”

The task is to deliver the letter.

The reward is 3 million stones.

There is only one condition attached.

“Ah, by the way, this letter must be handed over to the Baron before he leaves the Gnome Tree.”

This was the reason why a huge amount of 3 million stones was attached to a request that was only delivery. It’s safe to say that no explorer can enter the Gnome Tree.

In fact, only aristocrats could enter the area, unless they were farm workers.

“I understand the contents of the request. So I want you to tell me the details.”

The scent of the honey request was already wafting up, but I calmly checked the issues to be checked without getting excited.

what is this letter

When the baron returns to the city later, he can send a letter then, but why pay such a huge amount for the request?

Shabin answered my questions openly.

“I can’t tell you the contents of the letter. And the reason I’m entrusting you with this request is because it’s clear that the baron won’t read our letter even if I send it home.”

The administration has something to say to the baron.

However, the baron ignores it.

So, the administration devised a way to get the information that the baron was vacationing in the gnome tree and put the letter directly into his hand.

“The Gnome Tree is no different from a resort for nobles. Besides, the number of escorts that can accompany you is only three. Just approach naturally and send a letter, so Bjorn-nim will be less burdened.”

well that’s right

I nodded as if I understood.

Certainly, it is troublesome for a noble to visit a noble’s house in the city. You have to have dinner together and say goodbye to your family.

It is impossible to meet briefly and send letters.

‘Then, is the condition to be delivered within the Gnome Tree for me?’

I suddenly thought of that, but it probably wasn’t the only reason. You wouldn’t have put consideration for me as a ‘condition’.

“So what do you want to do?”

Soon, Shabin handed over the decision to me, and I pretended to be a bit more worried before replying.

“I accept it.”

3 million stones by delivering a letter to the current situation where there is no corner to come out of money?

There is no reason not to accept it.

‘I was thinking of visiting the Gnome Tree once.’

“Ah, as I said in advance, I just deliver the letter whether the baron reads it or not, and that’s it.”

“Yes. As long as you keep the contents of the request well, there will be no problem with the payment of the reward, so don’t worry about that part.”

Okay then, the last worry was lessened.

I signed the contract brought by Shabin and received a letter as a requested item.

With that, the official business is over.

After that, after an hour or so of private chatter, I broke up with friends and returned home.

And…

“Misha, pack your things.”

“huh?”

“Let’s hang out.”

I started preparing for the trip.

***

The period was set at 2 nights and 3 days.

It’s not a distance that can’t be visited on a day trip, but you need time to look for the baron there.

Not only that…

‘There are places to stop by there.’

To be honest, I want to schedule a leisurely schedule of 5 nights and 6 days.

But soon the labyrinth will open.

Well, I agreed with all my colleagues to skip this time, but…

‘It would be much better to directly see how much power the royal family put in this time.’

“No Gnome Tree!! Wow! The day will come when I finally go there too!!”

It was a sudden trip proposal, but Misha knew that the destination was ‘Gnome Tree’ and packed her bags excitedly.

For reference, there are three people who can accompany you.

So, I decided to go on a family (?) trip with Einar and Erwen.

“Can I fit in a place like that?”

“What are you talking about? If you don’t like it, don’t.”

“I don’t like it! I’ll go and pack my things! How long did you say you’ll be back?”

Even though she pretended to decline, Erwen quickly got up from her seat and went into her room to pack her things.

My face looks brighter after a long time.

Well, I’ve been doing almost nothing to enjoy lately.

“Hey! I told you not to play around and take care of it properly, right?”

“I’m not kidding…”

“All you have to do is bring your underwear? A toothbrush? A towel? Huh? Are you going to ask me to borrow it every time?”

Soon, Misha helped Ainar pack his things, and the preparations for the trip went smoothly, and early the next morning.

“I’ll take you to the front.”

We moved toward the Gnome Tree, receiving the warm hospitality of the escort knights.

It was well past noon when we arrived.

“Quartet Baron Bjorn Yandel. It has been confirmed. Please come here.”

Standing in front of the gate, we went through a simple identification process and entered beyond.

Ah, the escort knights didn’t follow.

This is because there is a rule in Gnome Tree that only allows up to three escorts.

‘I feel sorry for some reason.’

In fact, the article side wanted to fill all three seats with themselves.

However, I stubbornly refused and filled the position with Mischa Erwen Einar.

It’s hard to move around freely if you have a knight.

It’s also a place where you don’t have to worry too much about assassins in the first place.

“Do not hesitate to use that whistle should any danger arise to your safety from within. The vigilantes of the Gnometree will come to your aid.”

Since the Gnome Tree is the second most secure area in the city after the Royal Palace, the knights only expressed regret, but they did not forcefully cancel this schedule.

“Wow…….”

The scenery of the gnome tree that I entered through the double door was so great that even I was stunned.

A straight, straight road.

On both sides, there is an open green landscape, and the wind that gently wraps around the body carries the scent of unripe grains and fruits.

“Oh! Look there! Fairies!”

We moved in a carriage and continued to look around. The most visible were fairies doing farming.

Yes, these are farming specialists.

The fairies send fairies who have learned special spirit skills to the Gnome Tree to receive huge amounts of support.

‘I envy you…….’

Huge goods coming from the gnome tree. This is also the reason why they can offer interest-free tax loans to their tribe members, unlike barbarians.

“How many years do you guys lend Erwen?”

“We’re three years old.”

“Wow, I’m envious. We were up until the second year. I’m not pressing you to pay it back, but from then on, whether you live or die, you have to take care of everything.”

For reference, this tax loan policy has everything except for barbarians and humans.

It’s not just fairies making money this way.

Dwarves signed a formal contract with the royal family in recognition of their unique building skills and metallurgy. Probably all the windmills and watermills you see over there are made and managed by you.

Oh and the beast…….

[Mmmmm—!]

“Mi Misha! What the hell is that strange-looking monster!”

“Ah, are you seeing this for the first time? A cow is an animal.”

“cow?”

“That meat you said was the most delicious. Ah, I’ve never eaten wild-caught meat, but…”

Soo-in is active in the livestock industry.

It is thanks to the fact that he not only communicates well with animals by nature, but also has an entity that increases the growth and reproduction of livestock among the spirits of the supernatural world.

‘Surely, it’s the dragons who make the real money.’

If all other races are working class, Yongin is a little different.

It is safe to say that they are nobles who own land.

In fact, the Gnome Tree, a farming area, was created in the holy land of the Yongin people.

‘……Why are there only barbarians?’

The more I organize, the more I feel deprived again, but what can I do?

Fighting is all about racial characteristics.

drooling.

Soon, the wagon arrived near the mountain in the center of the Gnome Tree and began to turn around and head east.

and how long has it been

“Im here.”

The coachman who sent them to the gates of Gnome Tree informed them that they had reached their destination.

A residential area named ‘Kiarbis’ and a resort for nobles with a long history that also existed in the game, a world view 150 years ago.

“Come over here.”

With the help of a man who served as a coachman and guide, we headed to the inn.

It was a place reserved by the administrative office in advance…

‘It’s good.’

Much better than expected.

First of all, one outbuilding was used as a whole, and there were as many as five servants attached.

How much do you really want to spend per night here?

“Eat your meal first. I’ve prepared it for you.”

I was still hungry, so I ate first.

And…

“There’s a hot spring…?”

When the servant said that there was an outdoor hot spring, I immediately went there to relieve my travel fatigue.

‘Yes, that’s it.’

Later, when winter comes, Sabiro will have to come again. After enjoying the hot spring for about an hour, Einar was waiting for me alone.

“How long does it take to wash Bjorn!”

“What about Misha and Erwen?”

“The two of them are still inside. I don’t understand at all. To me, it’s just warm water…”

Einar doesn’t seem to have felt the real taste of the hot spring.

That’s why barbarians.

“It’s okay, take a break, and then play with them when they come out.”

“Huh? You?”

“I have to go to work soon. Why are you going with me?”

“Oh no… I’ll be resting here!”

When I was told that I was going to work, I took off the crane and stepped back, and I came out of the dorm with a smile on my face.

And first I walked around.

‘It’s a real luxury itself.’

It was originally designed as a resort for aristocrats, so it is full of luxurious facilities everywhere.

Hot spring riding grounds, fishing grounds, etc.

If it was modern, you would have said why this is extravagant, but it feels different here.

‘It’s not just about eating wild meat, it’s about playing with it…….’

99% of the city eats meat and bread made with magic stones. You can tell just by looking at Einar, but I had never seen a real cow before coming here.

But what about this place?

There is even a place to play hunting by releasing pheasants or deer.

‘Well then, I’m done with the sight seeing…’

I took the letter and moved to my destination.

I didn’t have to go out of my way to find out which inn I was staying at. There are no other titled aristocrats in this city who live in rented lodgings like me.

Most spend their vacations in the villas they have purchased.

“Please come in.”

As soon as I arrived at the villa and posted a message, the entry permission was dropped before long.

Fortunately, I’m not telling you to turn it off.

“I’ve always wanted to talk to you at least once, but that’s great. Haha Nice to meet you. Baron Yandel. But what the hell is going on with you suddenly looking for me?”

“Oh, I have something to tell you.”

“Are you going to tell me?”

When the prepared letter was delivered, the baron immediately opened it and read it.

And he made a strange face.

“Aren’t the administration guys really hot? Enough to ask you this.”

“Well I don’t know the details.”

“Hmm, did you still listen to this request? What the hell is a guy like you for?”

The baron muttered incomprehensibly.

To be honest, he gave me 3 million stones as a commission fee, so I readily

agreed

… It’s because I owe something.”

“Haha, it’s like that, it’s enough to pretend you don’t know later.”

Wow, is this the mind of an aristocrat?

Admiration comes out in a bad way, but you can’t say that in person.

“Warriors don’t forget grace . .”

“Hmm… I guess that’s the case too? Haha! It’s funny. An aristocrat guaranteed to have only one god? Maybe there will be more nobles who want to be friendly with you.”

After the letter was delivered, the baron asked me to have a meal with him, but I refused and

left

. The request ends with this.’

It ended so easily that I wondered if I could get 3 million stones with just this.

Then, I’m free for the rest of the

time .

Then,

I

saw a familiar pattern among the knights following the aristocratic youngsters.

As soon as I saw it, I broke out in a cold sweat.

‘Baron Ifreia.’ The family where the ‘him’ borrowed his face and identity

, even making the

GM faint to meet me .

Even if my expectations were wrong, it is the same.

It has also been proven by quantum mechanics.

No one knows until the box is opened.

Whether there is a cat in it or what is inside can only be proven after ‘observation’ has been made.

Fortunately, I am still in the box . I didn’t check inside.

That’s why…

‘Let’s go quickly.’

With my eyes fixed on the ground, I speed up my walking speed.

That was the moment.

“Now wait a minute! Are you there, Baron Yandel?”

A familiar voice came from behind as if he had finally recognized me.

“Now, please stop! I heard that you suffered greatly because of that evil wizard disguised as me. I must apologize…”
