Episode 232 New Age (2)
A very, very, very big reward from the royal family.
I haven’t heard the details yet, but my mouth is already watering.
However, in my experience, this is the most dangerous ti.
Isn’t it an unspoken rule of the world that if you receive a gift, you should return it soday?
You need to make sure you can swallow it.
“What exactly is the reward? What do I have to do?”
Kyle kindly answered my questions one by one.
Compensation has not yet been specifically determined.
In addition, it is said that it is not only who receives the reward, but all the survivors of the day.
Did you say that sooner or later you will be called to the royal castle to hold a consolation banquet?
“What I can say for sure is that there will be a non-gong peddler at that ti, and it will be the biggest disgrace to your achievents.”
“I see. Do you have any guesses?”
“It’s not that there isn’t one…….”
Kyle blurted out his words, taking into consideration that it was his own opinion and reciting the expected rewards one by one, asking to be heard.
“The first is a title.”
nobility title.
“Of course, the possibility of being awarded a title is very slim. Even if it cos down, it probably won’t be a succession title. There won’t be a fief.”
I’m not expecting too much either.
Because that’s what the nobles of this world are like.
It’s not sothing that can be done by setting the ball up once or twice.
Well, to predict, at most, wouldn’t it be possible to enter the ecliptic?
“The second is Jeongsoo. The royal family said they would open even a golden marriage report, so you can expect it.”
The treasure house of the royal family, where up to level 3 essence is stored for golden marriage reports.
“What about the third?”
“It’s an equipnt.”
“The most typical.”
The third expected reward was high-level equipnt or number items. The fourth was just money.
“Probably, except for the title, the rest is likely to be properly distributed according to the ball.”
I think you know roughly what I an.
People with less balls roughly give money and it’s over.
Those who made quite a few achievents received equipnt or a level 5 essence.
‘Depending on the ball, up to the 3rd grade essence……’
This started to flow even more.
Level 3 Essences are higher Essences that can be fard normally only on the 7th and 8th floors.
But can you even choose what you want?
It is clear that my growth, which has stopped for a while, will pick up speed.
But…
“So what does the royal family want from ? I haven’t told you that yet.”
I didn’t hear the most important information.
What should I give in return for this gift?
Surely, sooner or later, the royal family will try to regain the trust of the people by defeating Noark.
If I enlist in the military and want to participate in the battle then it is right to refuse, no matter how attractive the reward is.
“There’s nothing particularly big about it. Just show that you’re friendly to the royal family during the nongong peddling, and that’s it. The rest will be taken care of by the royal family.”
“…It’s an easy yet difficult request.”
Kyle laughed bitterly at my answer.
“As expected, the royal family doesn’t look very good to you.”
I responded with silence.
“…….”
How could he look good on that?
I didn’t even try to find another counterasure, I went looking for an easy way, and in the end it was all over.
“Still, just know that everything that happened that day was not the will of the royal family. Even the commanders of the Royal Knights have different values to pursue. If another leader was present, the result would have been different.”
Kyle said it as if defending it, but even so, the feeling of uneasiness did not fall.
Maybe it was a sense of responsibility.
It felt like betraying those who fought together after being abandoned by the royal family.
Feeling like changing jobs as a minion during the occupation period.
I carefully asked for one.
“…What do you think of the royal family?”
A question that could potentially be blasphemous.
Kyle stunned, then responded with a smirk.
“Honestly, it doesn’t look very good.”
It doesn’t seem like it’s in front of for nothing.
In the first place, this man is not that kind of personality.
Still, I didn’t know that a 3rd-class war mage would say sothing like this even in private…
“But the royal family is a necessary existence for this world to be maintained. It’s not a word.”
“Evil?”
“If you’ve already noticed, what kind of relationship do I have with the old ruinist?”
well that’s true
“Can I ask you more?”
“He is my master’s enemy. One day, he hard the man he was studying with and finally completed the forbidden magic.”
“So you enlisted in the military for revenge?”
“That’s right. As soon as I heard that he had entrusted himself to Orculis, my eyes went dark. I couldn’t help myself.”
The young Kyle decided that he needed help from the military and the royal family to seek revenge.
So he went under the royal family.
The judgnt that the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
“So, don’t think too hard about it. What if you don’t like it? If there is sothing to use, it’s reasonable to use it.”
Kyle’s advice was 100 tis correct.
Realistically, what am I going to do if I lose Chuck with the royal family?
The sa goes for other survivors with ill feelings toward the royal family.
I went through that hardship, but I had to do sothing.
“You look a little better.”
“Thanks to.”
“It’s almost ti for the next appointnt. I’ll get up now.”
“Thank you for coming. I feel like this, so go out alone.”
“Haha, then, did you an to send off? Okay, rest. I’ll be busy from now on.”
“Are you busy?”
Kyle, who was heading to the doorway, turned around at my question.
And…
“You’ll find out soon.”
He left with a aningful smile.

The day after Kyle left, there was a visitor.
It was Raven and Mr. Bear.
“Once everyone has rested, let’s settle the loot.”
“Isn’t it the first thing to ask if you’re okay?”
“It looks okay just by looking at it. What?
Is it like that…?
For so reason, as a tanker, a sense of sadness ca over , but it all went away after the words that followed.
“So please stop hurting yourself.”
A harshly spoken word.
I just said that I was ashad to do it.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Karlstein? It seems like he always does everything by himself.”
“Oh ? I’m fine… well, but I hope I don’t get hurt…”
“Mr. Karlstein is too nice to be a problem? If I leave him alone, he won’t die in his own life. ?”
“…Okay, let’s start with the business. Settlent of loot? Did you sell all your equipnt?”
“Yes. I’m really tired, but I forcibly put up with it and sold it, so thank you.”
As I heard, Raven is on the first day of returning to the city.
So it seems that as soon as the investigation was over, he went back and sold the spoils without rest.
The reason for rushing to the point of overdoing it was simple.
“That’s right, I have to sell it quickly so I won’t sell it even a little expensive.”
Huge losses were incurred in the overall explorer population.
It is a self-evident fact that equipnt prices will fall as demand has decreased. Besides, 99% of the loot returned by the survivors is equipnt, so will there be an oversupply?
“Thank you. I didn’t even think about that.”
“…If you can think about that much in that situation, would Yandel-san be a superman or a barbarian?”
All it takes is just one word, ‘Nothing special’.
“Aruru! What do you an! Bjorn is a super barbarian!!”
What is he saying again?
Is it because this exploration was so gloomy? I can’t get used to this everyday noise.
“Then let’s all sit down.”
I finished the introduction before it got too long and sat my colleagues on the couch.
And the loot settlent began.
It didn’t take long thanks to Raven putting it all together.
All you have to do is listen to the settlent details and get paid.
The settlent was over in an instant, and it was a ti when we spent ti chatting with each other.
Mr. Bear brought up a new topic.
“Ah, by the way, I don’t know if you heard that you stayed at ho the whole ti. Yandel, you have a new tinnitus.”
“Oh really!”
Starting from Einar who was very excited, Misha and even Raven showed curious expressions.
Seeing as Raven didn’t know about it, it doesn’t seem like it’s widely known yet…….
Like a bar owner, this kind of information seems to be quick.
‘It’s a new nickna…….’
Then am I leaving the small Balkan?
“What are you talking about quickly?”
“Who do you think it will be?”
Mr. Bear spares answers as if he enjoys attention.
Various speculations were exchanged among colleagues, and soon Mr. Bear asked for my opinion.
“You? Yandel, don’t you rember anything?”
“Well, I hope it’s not just a big Vulcan, please.”
As if my reaction was sowhat unsatisfactory, Mr. Bear licked his lips and told my new tinnitus.
“Giant.”
“huh?”
“It’s a giant. Your new nickna is.”
Well, it’s simpler than I thought.
Then, has it beco Bjorn, the son of the giant Yandel? As we were laughing while thinking silly thoughts, Misha recited a sentintal comnt.
“It’s a matching nickna. It also shows [Giantness], one of Bjorn’s essences.”
“Am, as soon as I heard it, I thought it was this. Ah! But why did it have a nickna like that before? Didn’t that essence exist then?”
Mr. Bear, who smiled heartily, raised a question.
It was Raven who answered.
“No. I heard that it happened back then. It must have changed much more than it does now, right?”
I nodded.
In fact, at that ti I borrowed Misha’s older brother’s [Unclean] with the vampire’s skill [Blood Master] and was 1.5 tis bigger than now.
But in the end, the nickna that ca with it was ‘Little Vulcan’.
“Hmm, bigger? Then why did you do that then?”
Mr. Bear tilts his head in disbelief. Again, the answer ca from Raven.
“Sohow… I guess I should know.”
“Huh? You think you know?”
“Yes. I’m sure… Back then, people didn’t look this big. Mr. Yandel’s back.”
My face was all hot when I heard it.
Especially in that everyone is seriously convinced.
“The body got smaller, but it looked bigger……. Yes, that could be the reason.”
“Yeah, I think you know what I an.”
“Bjorn is a great giant!! He will surely leave the biggest mark on this world soday!”
Oh please, I wish I hadn’t done this.
I hastily changed the topic.
It was a conversation I had with Kyle.
Since it was a topic related to the royal family, everyone except Einar forgot the new nickna of ‘giant’ and listened with interest.
“It’s a consolation…… I don’t know how many will participate.”
“Mr. Urijkfried is also naive. It would be much quicker to count how many will participate?”
“What?”
“I’m just swearing behind my back, but in reality, who wants to pretend to be the royal family? They said they would even pay for your hard work.”
“But I still have pride as an explorer. Yandel! Say sothing.”
“Actually, I’m of the sa opinion as Raven.”
“…What?”
“Well, if you’re not going to go to Noark, of course, isn’t it right to pack sothing?”
Explorers never lose money . It
‘s not to this extent, but most explorers are very sensitive to damage.
Anyway, since we talked about everything, we all had a al together and then
left
. I’ll call you if I have sothing to do.”
Raven and Mr. Bear left.
Einar went out to go to the Holy Land, and Misha also left to go shopping.
The house beca quiet before I knew it.
But before long, I heard a knock.
“Teterud. ……?”
“Haha! I ca because you were still fiddling. How can I have a drink?”
“…It’s a secret from Misha.”
It was broad daylight, but he had a friendly face, so he and the clan mbers who had followed him went inside and had a drink together.
But that will co to an end.
” Oh you were there too?”
Another visitor ca.
“lter Fend.”
“Just feel free to call lter. Long ti no see, Bjorn. Originally, I was going to co earlier, but it was late because I was holding a funeral for the dead mbers. Ah, can I go in?”
“Of course.”
Teterud and the clan mbers left after eting for a while to see if there was an appointnt, and after that, they had a private conversation with lter. The
main story was
the battle with the werewolf .
Awakened…?”
“Haha It’s not even awakened, it’s just that I was able to see the way for a while and use it thinly.”
He, who was once an explorer and apprentice knight, developed an aura during battle.
Well, it’s still unstable . It looks good, but…
‘A third-class explorer who uses an aura.’
I picture lter’s na echoing throughout the city.
It probably won’t take long.
Isn’t it the situation where countless top-ranked explorers have died?
Bang bang!
Anyway, the visitor didn’t end up with lter.
“Yandel! Are you inside! I heard you can’t even walk properly yet?”
The warriors I had a relationship with that day
or the explorers who ca to say thanks lined up to find my house.
I drank.
Misha served a al.
“It would have been nice if Albertine was there… …”
Sotis we had a mont of silence.
They weren’t the only visitors.
“They’re called giants? Can a dwarf like this live in sorrow? Hahaha!”
The dwarf and Rotmiller ca after hearing about . “You won’t be able to co to the library for a while…… Next ti
I ‘ll bring you so books to read.”
Administrator Shabin.
“You did sothing big? I’m proud of you.”
The tribal chief who ca this far away from the Holy Land.
Oh, by the way, the tribal chief warned if he knew about Wi Yeon.
“The king’s laughter is poisonous. Don’t get too close to the royal family.”
“I’ll listen.”
“That’s it. Let’s have a drink!”
Such visits continued over several days.
Oh, and there were also several return visits.
It was because the royal family sent out an invitation to a consolation party not too long ago.
“…Are you going to fight?
” ji! If you just get past it, you will end up under their feet forever!”
So ca to confront the royal family, while others gave serious advice. No, in terms of percentage, there
were far more of them.
Think about it.”
“You are not the one who suffered the most. Who can say that you get a reward?” ”
If the work itself is canceled, the dead explorers won’t get any reward either. Their bereaved families should also think.”
“To put it mildly, this is a great opportunity for you. Please don’t miss this opportunity. I’m really saying this for you.”
Conversation with them made think about many things.
Now, my choices have an impact on many places, not just .
With that sense of responsibility, I listened to each and every one of their opinions
. Until it explodes.
“Hey! Please tell to stop now!! No, just go out and et them!!” It
was enough to make angry.
***
May 10th.
The morning of a little over a week since the day of the disaster. We woke up early in the morning and had ti to dress up.
Today is a consolation day. .
“Evil! Tighten up more and more!”
“Then Misha will die!”
“It’s okay, so co on… oops!”
While I was still sitting on the sofa waiting, Misha, wearing a dress, ca out of the room with Einar’s help.
”
……Is that weird?”
“……No, not at all. It suits you well.”
I said this 100% of the truth. It’s
a colorful dress that is completely different from the usual tight-fitting pants or fluttering single color skirts. The
white background has red accents and the skirt is about knee-length, so it has a tail. It seed that there was no discomfort in moving.
Did
they even consider being a beastman?
“Stop looking at that.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“So that’s all…?”
I quickly added,
“…The pin on her head looks pretty.” ”
Hmm, the necklace. What?”
“That too.”
“Hmm, Gran?”
Misha didn’t say much,
perhaps because the air was uncomfortable for so reason.
“What about Einar?”
“Yes Einar! What are you doing? Co with !”
“Ha but…! I’m ashad too! Can’t we just wear armor?”
“I told you that you can’t wear weapons or armor because you’re going to the palace! co on out It’s not weird at all!”
In the end, Einar was dragged out by Misha’s hand.
By the way, this wasn’t a dress. A
slim-fit n’s suit that fits perfectly as if it were custom-made.
‘It looks like a uniform.’
She wore tight-fitting white pants and a coat made of high-quality fabric that ca down to her
thighs
. okay! A dress like this wouldn’t suit an ex like —”
“It suits you well, but why?”
“Oh, don’t tease …….”
It’s been a while since he did this .
I also wear similar clothes.”
For reference, I was presented with a similar type of clothes to Einar. The base color is navy blue, and the sa brown color as my hair color is used as a point
. It’s masculine.
Well, the biggest difference is,
“It’s cramped.”
I checked the mirror for a mont as I tidied up my tight clothes.
It’s called tailcoat barbarian mode.
In so ways, it looks even more imposing than wearing armor. .Is
the original suit showing off the muscles this much?
This is not a gangster.
“Bjorn! There’s a carriage outside!”
“Yes? Then, let’s go.”
As soon as I finished preparing to go out and left the house, the driver who was waiting greeted warmly.
“Nice to et you. Mr. Bjorn Yandel, Mr. Misha Karlstein, Mr. Einar Pnellin. This is Jack Haynes, who has been honored to attend the royal palace. If there is sothing uncomfortable, please feel free to pull the rope and tell .” It
really feels like sothing has happened.
“Wow, that’s a personal wagon…”
“Oh! Candy! Candy is free!!”
Degururu Wheels rolled on the road and the carriage started moving. Heading towards
the very center of Lapdonia,
where the King lives.
