Episode 456. Barbarian’s Heart, Barbarian’s World (2)
Barbarians usually form a small-to-medium-sized community centered on clans.
It dominates the wide 31st floor within the range of not invading each area.
But there’s just one exception.
That was the kingdom where the King of the Barbarians resided.
Its size is no different from any other big city.
This fort, where more than 30,000 barbarians live, was the best bustling street on the 31st floor where various cultures and arts were harmonized.
Well, here in the downtown area, the high school festival would be of higher quality.
“The village ends here, and the gate in front of it is the royal road.”
Barakdu pointed forward with his finger.
While looking around, Jinhyeok and the members of the Goinmul Corporation arrived at the gate.
An entrance with a fairly deep and wide moat.
It is too high of perfection to believe that it was made by barbarians.
“Barack Doo! A long time! What is it like going to the kingdom in such bad weather?”
A barbarian who seemed to be the captain of the guard approached.
Unsurprisingly, the Bararians are all sweaty, muscular masses.
The higher the status, the more alive the muscles seemed.
Kurrung… Quaang!
I thought there was a flash of lightning, and then there was a loud sound.
Bad weather by barbarian standards.
In modern times, the weather was merciless enough that an evacuation order would have been issued to the entire nation.
“oh! Genkar. How long has this been… One, two, three, ten, twenty, fifty nights!”
“To count the days we met is a clever barbarian, too. So what’s going on here?”
“The humans on the other floor want to meet the king.”
“A king? But the king never meets anyone.”
“It’s not just anyone, it’s smart people.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t believe you with just words.”
Still, he is the gatekeeper who protects the kingdom.
It seems to be smarter than the other guys, as much as crucian carp.
“When in doubt, raise a problem.”
“i get it. This… is one of the most vexing problems in the kingdom. If you solve it, I will grant you an audience with the king.”
Zenkar pulled a sheet of parchment from his bosom.
All kinds of hieroglyphs are written in rows.
It was literally just a random picture with no rules in sight.
It would be difficult for the guy who wrote this in such a rude way to interpret what he wrote, so it would be next to impossible for the player or the residents of other floors to figure it out.
This is probably why the barbarians had no choice but to become closed.
but.
-There are many barbarians who keep getting hit by lightning on rainy days. There is a limit even if you say that you can hold on with your guts. What should I do to prevent this?
Jinhyeok was seeing through the flow, albeit roughly.
Not only the barbarians, but seeing the letters of all kinds of stupid races, he was able to understand the intention to speak naturally.
‘Bonus, it must have been struck by lightning because I was wearing all kinds of blades in this weather.’
‘muscle! It’s no surprise that many barbarians die trying to hold their spears high while shouting ‘muscle!’.
Standing the lightning rod is one way, but…
those idiots didn’t seem to leave the lightning rod alone.
‘Because fools and smoke like high places.’
As you can see, the strongest warrior climbs up saying that he must occupy the highest place, and the outside will be crispy and the inside will turn moist.
If that’s the case…
Jinhyeok took out a jewel that glowed green from the subspace.
One of the 5 attribute stones stolen from Guntaper’s treasure house. It is the ‘Lightning Stone’.
next.
“It’s Undine. see me for a second Uhh… I’m not trying to pamper you. do not worry.”
Jinhyeok summoned Undine.
“What’s going on, Lord?”
“It’s nothing special… Wear this around your neck for a while.”
A jewel with a beautiful color headed for Undine.
Undine, who was on high alert, twinkled her eyes.
“Wow… is this a gift? thank you master! I think it really suits me! But why are you casting a fixation spell? no huh? wait for a sec!”
Undine panicked and tried to remove the jewel.
However, the firmly fixed jewel did not budge no matter how hard he tried.
…something is terribly wrong.
The moment I felt that way.
Kurrung… Kwaaang!
A bolt of lightning fell across the blackened sky.
A golden flash that spreads in an instant.
Again, the flames rushed in a straight line to consume one of the hapless barbarians.
however.
“Why don’t you drop this… Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Undine, engulfed in flames, screamed.
Since I was hit by lightning right away, of course I had no choice but to lose my mind.
“Now the lightning problem is solved.”
“What does that mean? A corrupt warrior?”
It’s ridiculous, but it’s just a good body right now.
“Anyway. From now on, lightning will only fall on this kid. So you don’t have to worry about what you’re worried about.”
“Tell me to believe that lightning only falls on one person just because you put on that jewel…”
Kurrung… Kwaaang!
“Kyaaaa! Save that spirit!”
Kurung… Boom! bang! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
“
. Corrupt but clever warrior! You deserve to meet the King! I’ll give you a pass here.”
Zenkar smiled brightly.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Due to Undine’s noble sacrifice(?), entry into the castle was made easy.
“It’s really amazing, it’s amazing.”
“Is this the world of savages… I think I know why Murim didn’t expand its territory beyond the 30th floor.”
Chun Yu-seong and Chu Hon-sa-yeong burst into exclamations.
It was because he saw a barbarian measuring the amount of precipitation while drinking rainwater with his mouth wide open.
“Gulp! Gagging cool! It rains a lot. It’s to the point of throwing up, so this must be heavy rain!”
“Struggling. If it weren’t for you, the whole kingdom wouldn’t have known how much it rained!”
“Uh hmm! I just did what I was supposed to do as a warrior.”
“Then keep working hard.”
“i get it. gulp! Gagging! Wow! Kuck!”
On the other side, the struggle to prevent the castle from submerging was continuing.
Muscular men who took off their shirts made fun of pickaxes and shovels.
“Huh! Whoop!”
“Cheer up a little more! Almost there!”
puck! Fu-wook!
It was good that he dug up the ground at great speed.
It was deep and wide enough to hold water.
The problem is
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“I’m swept away!”
It was rather that ground erosion occurred because it was dug too deep.
Numerous barbarians were buried alive in the soil that had been blown away.
“Are they crazy, really?”
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue inside.
Since they have such good basic specs, they won’t die that much, but…
…Really, this kingdom hasn’t perished so far.
How much longer would you have walked like that?
As I went further along the road, I saw a huge mansion made of thick logs.
A flag with a pattern that symbolizes the barbarians.
This is the palace where the King of the Barbarians lives.
It’s soft.
A strong testosterone smell wafted from the entrance.
“What kind of guy are you?”
A barbarian, a head taller than the one guarding the gate, blocked the way.
Waist-length blonde hair and a thick beard that didn’t even fit a razor blade. He’s over 2m tall… his arms are the size of an adult’s thigh.
At a glance, it seems like one of the royal guards protecting the king… I never
thought there would be a warrior exuding such an overbearing energy.
If you look at her appearance alone, she will be the leader among ogres.
“I came after receiving permission from the entrance. It’s a pass given to me by a barbarian named Zenkar.”
“hmm? pass?”
The barbarian tilted his head.
No way…
“I don’t know about a pass. Only those who are qualified can enter here.”
Damn Barbarians.
If this is the case, why the hell did you make a pass?
I seriously want to ask who taught you about public administration.
“okay. Even so. Then how do I get that qualification? “Go inside with confidence and meet the king.”
“So simple?”
“Yes.”
It is rather suspicious because it is so easy.
“Whatever it is, let’s go quickly. If you meet the king or whatever, the answer will come.”
Chuck! Chun Yoo-seong put his hand on the doorknob.
“…hmm!?”
However, the door only rattled and showed no sign of moving at all.
Thick tendons protruded from Chun Yoo-seong’s forehead.
The result was the same this time too.
cooong!
It’s just that the door shakes a little more than before.
“What kind of door is this… ignorantly heavy?”
“Okay! Is this really too heavy?”
Teresa held the door with both hands and whimpered.
“The door weighs about three tons per side. It’s a weight that even strong warriors are having a hard time with, with a body that’s too thin like you.”
Apparently, this is the first gateway.
It means that in order to meet the king, you must have at least enough strength to open this door.
It’s 3 tons…
Certainly not many people can open it simply with physical strength at this point, unless they’re stunned by their strength stats.
But that’s it.
[Trait ‘Tombgrave’s right arm’ is unlocked!]
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A black aura rose above Jinhyeok’s right arm.
“Hmm?”
Sparks flew in the barbarian’s pupils.
Unbeknownst to himself, his muscles stiffened at the unusual force.
and that moment.
Cuckoo!
Thick doors opened left and right.
“How…”
“Simply having big muscles doesn’t mean you’re strong. Please remember that there are people like this in the future.”
“Is this really a big world…”
The barbarian nodded in agreement.
“good night. human. I liked you. Why don’t you give birth to a great warrior with me?”
for a moment. Wait…
did I hear something wrong?
“If it’s a birth… maybe a baby?”
“Yes.”
“Did you know that children… are made between a man and a woman?”
No matter how stupid you are, there is a limit.
Maybe that’s about it.
“Excuse me. i am a woman And he just turned 20. I don’t know what to say with my mouth, but there won’t be enough to give birth to a healthy baby.”
“…”
Arguably, I heard the most shocking words since the Tower of Trials appeared on the 31st floor.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
Same time.
There was also a great uproar inside the palace where the door was open.
“Is that door open?”
“Among the young warriors, did someone who has already grown that much come out?”
“It must be a child of the Godrit tribe. There was a guy the size of a water buffalo at the age of 12.”
“For strength, the Mera tribe. I remember eating 100 loaves of bread a day.”
“Don’t lie. The whole kingdom knows that your memory is as good as that of a goblin.”
The barbarians inside murmured.
It was because it had been a long time since the main gate, named the ‘Door of the Test’, had been opened.
Only those with true muscle and mad minds can enter here.
It was only natural that everyone’s heart was pounding.
however.
that buck
The one who entered was not a barbarian warrior.
In the eyes of the warriors, the body was too thin.
A human with black hair proudly crossed the inside of the palace.
“I brought you a gift that will go down in barbarian history…how come you’re the smartest friend here?”
Jinhyuk had a bright smile on his face.
