Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 491 Declaration of War (2)

Honor Stone.

A super-large tombstone located in the center of the Hero Square of Karnon, the Ecliptic.

This tombstone, which is said to have been produced together with the creation of the first dimensional plaza, records the feats of heroes who appeared and disappeared over the years.

‘The last time was 600 years ago…?’

Please note that these feats were not written down by humans.

The monument, made with forgotten ancient magic, is closely related to the labyrinth, and when a recordable feat is accomplished within the labyrinth, it engraves a record on its own.

‘…… was the setting.’

a little bewildered

In fact, the Honor Stone was just a common decoration in the game. That’s because it’s never worked in 10 years of playing.

I thought it was just a device to show the world view.

But…

‘I never thought this was a really working device.’

Arriving at the plaza, being escorted by the knights, I blankly lifted my head and looked around.

The outside of the plaza controlled by the knights was full of crowds who came to watch. As befits citizens of the imperial capital Karnon, there were many aristocrats, and most of them were dressed soberly.

“Bjorn Yandel! Baron Bjorn Yandel…!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Feeling like a monkey behind bars.

However, I quietly looked up at the tombstone without trying to express myself.

The record at the very top was this.

[The last great sage Diplan Groundel Gabriel and his companions defeated all the monsters in the Crystal Cave and opened the hidden area.] According to the

history book, from that moment onwards, four portals to the second floor were created in the labyrinth. It is said that

It was a similar feeling after that.

[Emon Mullmarin, a brave warrior of the Beast tribe, and his colleagues found a new island by defeating a sea dragon.]

When an explorer first caught a boss mob, a new island appeared that did not exist before.

[The great navigator Ordel Pikma and his colleagues defeated all the monsters in the sea and opened the hidden area.]

When someone completely conquered the 6th floor, two roads to the 7th floor appeared.

[Human explorer Ruudel Limenin and his companions reached the abyss, and the spirits of all the monarchs were awakened.] The

layer lords began to be summoned after the first one reached the 10th floor, and after defeating the layer lords, Cracks began to appear in the floor.

Iron Hero Juggernaut.

Wasn’t this the first person to catch a hierarchical lord?

Anyway, that’s not what’s important.

From my point of view as a gamer, these stones of honor are like patch notes.

Whenever something changed in the labyrinth, this stone praised it as a feat and recorded it.

And that’s what it means.

[The great warrior of the barbarians, Bjorn Yandel and his companions, defeated the fear lord Dreadfear and opened a hidden area.] This must

really mean that a new area has opened.

Could this be a good thing?

It was a time when I was looking at the tombstone in a daze, unable to make a decision easily.

“Baron Yandel! Can you look over here?”

The moment when a man who appeared to be a government official made such a request to me, and I turned my head without knowing.

click-!

A flash exploded from the video recorder the man was holding.

“Please smile a little! Isn’t this a look that will be recorded forever in the history books!”

It’s

a history book…….

From my point of view, where I need to build up as much support as possible, events like this are positive.

After I finished calculating the gains and losses, I used [Giant], then stretched out my arms and let out a shout.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Sure enough, the flash went off once more.

click-!

Would this be an A-cut?

「The character’s Fame value has increased by +10.」

「The character’s Fame value has increased by +10.」

「The character’s Fame value has increased by +10……」

「….. ..」

「…….」

Putting your name on the Stone of Honor.

This is a much bigger issue than I thought.

I had to pose in front of the tombstone countless times until a photographer under the direct control of the royal family, who only learned his identity later, took an A-cut.

[As expected, the photo taken during the day seems to be the best!]

After all the photos were taken, I had to be called in by the royal secretary and interrogated, not interrogated.

No, if I hadn’t been aristocratic, it would have been safe to call it an interrogation.

[Ah yes… I can’t tell. This is what you are saying.]

[Experience and knowledge are assets to an explorer. But why do I have to tell you that for free?]

[…Hwa Certainly, according to the law of the labyrinth, you cannot force the baron. Couldn’t you reconsider it for the sake of the kingdom and even our descendants?] [

Well, it seems that other seniors have not answered all of them thoroughly, besides me?]

[That’s…]

[I’m hungry. . Then I will go!]

When I came out in the evening, the whole world around me had changed.

When I first became famous and the nickname ‘Little Balkan’ was given to me.

When he made a big contribution in the match against Noark.

When he became a baronet and became a baronet.

Back then, I really felt like the world around me had changed overnight, but it was nothing compared to this time.

“It’s Bjorn Yandel…!”

I’m just walking along the main street, and all sorts of people cling to me.

There were people who shouted the name of a child on a shoulder from afar, begged to be called at least once, and jumped into a hug beyond a handshake.

‘What is this……’

It’s not like this hasn’t happened until now, but it was completely different from then.

Because this was the ecliptic Karnon.

The upper class, who had obtained the citizenship of the zodiac, looked at me with interest but did not look up to me, and the aristocrats had nothing to say.

But what about now?

“Giant! Giant!”

“A great giant who will lead the new era…!”

“There will be endless light in Lapdonia!”

People belonging to the upper class are excited and shouting like crazy fans.

If you think about it, it makes sense to some extent.

Because a hero is different from a person who has the qualities of a hero.

“To think that a hero like this was born in the era I live in.”

Great Sage Gabrillius.

Abyss Seeker Limenin.

Pikma, the great navigator.

Iron Hero Juggernaut and more.

It was good to see it as the value of the names of seniors recorded on the Stone of Honor. A person of the same era who is on the same line as those who remain in history and are still talked about?

You will feel like sharing a historical moment just by being in the same space.

That’s why I did some fan service.

“Honey! I, the baron, called my child’s name…!”

“This kid is going to grow up big! Certainly!”

It’s called the Barbarian Pope Mode.

In the end, this state continued until we reached the platform, and even after getting on the carriage, I couldn’t even close my eyes because they were following me and screaming.

And the mansion that arrived like that.

“Waaaaaaaaaaa!!”

When did the news spread this far?

People gathered in front of the house shouted like a festival, but it ended only when night fell and knights from Mozlan came to control the people.

“Whoa… It’s finally quieted down.”

As I sighed and pressed myself to the sofa, Erwen, who had just lifted the curtains and looked out the window, approached me.

“I guess everyone is going to bed now.”

“It’s crazy. If today is this much, how bad tomorrow will be.”

“But you’ll calm down sooner than you think. People unexpectedly… forget quickly.”

“Like when I was told I was dead?”

“……yes.”

Soon after Erwen sat across from me, Auyen served tea as if he had been waiting.

“Ah thank you.”

“No. Captain.”

Auyen’s voice and eyes were different from usual.

Originally, he was polite, but should I say that he exudes an unknown respect today?

“It must be fate that I met the leader and repented of my sins and followed him. I will be a little bit of a help to the leader on his way from the lowest place.”

Does this bastard think he’s a porter for some kind of warrior’s party?

It was a little funny, but he said nothing.

“Then have a good night.”

After Auyen left, Versil and Amelia entered the room together.

“I’m sorry. I can’t even rest at home because of me.”

“No. I was good at waiting without going back. In this situation, it would have been difficult to come back tomorrow? I’m tired in the first place.”

“That’s… I guess.”

To be honest, I still don’t get it.

Everyone says it’s an achievement or a hero, but is this enough to be listed on the Stone of Honor?

In the first place, by chance, Hidden Peace was activated and the first try was made, and luckily it was successful.

In fact, in terms of difficulty, the ice rock expedition was several times more difficult.

In fact, countless people died at that time.

‘In terms of difficulty, it was much more difficult that way…’

“Anyway, so did you get some sleep?”

“No… I couldn’t sleep. Don’t worry. This schedule only lasted 7 days anyway, right? In fact, if you exclude the last day, it was a rest schedule.”

um it’s not like that

Originally, when I come back from the labyrinth, it’s normal to faint from exhaustion, but I’m still in a relatively normal state.

Einar is the only one of us sleeping soundly.

“So I looked into it diligently in my free time…….”

Versil let go of her luck and placed ‘No.12 Trust’ on the table. It was the item I handed over before following the knights to Karnon.

“For now, it’s a state of belonging to the soul.”

“belonging?”

“Yes. But oddly enough, it’s multiple attribution. I think the ones who can use this are me, Pnellin, Tersia, and Yandel.”

Versil put the bracelet on Amelia’s wrist as an example, and the bracelet didn’t fit and fell off.

“It means that only those who have undergone trials can use it.”

“Yes. It’s very likely.”

“Hmm…….”

Versil asked cautiously as she looked at me in agony.

“So… one of the four of us will have to use it, so what are you going to do?”

First of all, ‘trust’ is an item with high versatility.

It is so effective regardless of tanker, dealer, wizard, or priest that it is meaningless to consider occupational groups.

There are three ways to use it.

1. Immune to damage inflicted by allies in bonded state.

When used by a tanker, even if allies pour wide-area damage, they won’t get hurt.

The chronic problem of tankers is resolved, and more diverse tactics can be used.

2. Increases damage according to the number of allies in bound state.

If the dealer wears this equipment, the deal will be blown up.

3. All beneficial effects applied to allies in bond state are doubled.

When worn by priests or support explorers, the ability is doubled.

‘For now, in our case, we’ll have to exclude number 3…….’

In the end, there are only two ways to use it.

Give it to Erwen, who has become another class, to increase the amount of damage.

Or I can equip it to increase party stability.

‘Thinking about it, there was no reason to worry.’

If there are two kinds of food on the table, holding both in both hands is the spirit of the barbarians.

Eventually I made a decision.

I usually wear it, but when I need a deal, I hand it over to Erwen to use.

“Depending on the situation, I plan to hand it over to you or Einar.”

Everyone in the team nodded as if they understood my decision.

However, Amelia’s expression did not look good.

A small change that is easier to notice because there is no change in facial expression at the time.

“Okay, so we’re done talking. Everyone, go get some rest. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow. Oh, and Emily, you’ll stay for a while.”

Versil and Erwen also left the room without saying anything after reading Amelia’s expression.

A space where only the two of them were left.

Amelia, who had been standing next to her the whole time, sat down on the sofa.

“…If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have been interrogated.”

Well, it would be a little disappointing for him.

He couldn’t share the loot he had obtained and couldn’t belong to ‘his companions’ written on the Stone of Honor.

I brought out realistic words rather than comforting words.

“Think of it as positively as possible. It would have been difficult if your name had been written there.”

When I went today, the names of the team members, which had been omitted with the word ‘colleague’, were engraved at the end of the record in small letters like an appendix.

To put it simply, if she hadn’t fallen in, her real name, ‘Amelia Laneways’, would have been exposed.

“That… I know.”

“Is that so?”

“It’s just… a little bit bitter.”

“…huh?”

The moment I tilted my head, Amelia stared at me and said,

“Because it means I can’t be by your side with my real name.”

“Ah…”

Uhm…

I couldn’t find anything to say, so I just opened my mouth, but Amelia calmly changed the topic as if she had only complained for a moment.

“Yandel has information you need to know.”

“Is that what you said you would tell me later?”

“okay.”

Actually, I was told to stay to listen to this, but seeing the serious expression on my face makes me anxious again.

“What? Try it.”

“My memory is in trouble.”

“……huh?”

At first, I thought this was some kind of nonsense, but after hearing the rest, it turned out to be quite serious.

“After the interrogation, there was a situation where I was in a daze for a while, but when I came to my senses, the video record was destroyed. I’m sure I’ve never lost my mind.”

“so?”

“I compared the flow of time I remember with the actual time. There are some errors.”

It was an error of about 10 minutes.

For example, in my memory, I interrogated for 35 minutes, but in reality, 45 minutes passed.

“Could it be an illusion?”

“does not exist.”

Huh, to say so confidently, I think something really went wrong.

“Furthermore, looking back, there were some disparate parts of me in my memories. I was passing over the parts that I would have checked more carefully if it were the original me, and I was passing them over casually.”

“…….”

“So I thought of the possibility of hallucination magic. Maybe someone manipulated my memory and filled it up.”

“so?”

“I’m still not quite sure about this. I’ve been examined by Gowland, but she says she can’t find any trace of it.”

Memory manipulation…….

Who the hell is the culprit?

Are there wizards of that caliber under Count Alminus?

Or a third person at all?

As I was thinking hard about it, Amelia cautiously added one more word.

“And one more thing. After waking up and examining each one again, the weapons were all clean.”

“…weapons?”

“Yes, even the sword that stabbed you. It was as clean as if it had been wiped with something.”

This is really award-winning.

What the hell happened?

While I felt very fortunate that Amelia was safe, I added things to do in the future.

“They… They said they received a request from the black market. The client said they didn’t know.”

Let’s start from there.

Although it is famous for its impenetrable security and bloody rumors that no one survived after losing a pretend.

After all, it is not a place where people live.

“I’ll have to go.”

If you break it all down, someone will tell you.
