Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 156
156angry lion (2)
A community of demons, Ghostbusters.
My own source of information that Misha and Ainar do not know about.
‘Okay, let's do it..’
I turned on the computer first, trying to ignore Lee Han-soo's bed, which looked soft..
12 hours for this community to last.
Because there is information in it that you must find out..
‘Orculis, Noark, Dragon Slayer.’
It used to be a story from a distant country, but now it is closely related to my survival..
Library books alone have limitations..
First of all, the medium of books itself had a structure that was bound to be slow in updating the latest information..
[1~140,000GP] All information related to Orculis.
First, I posted information purchase information on the exchange and then opened a chat room. The judgment that this might be much more helpful than the exchange..
[Long Live Korean Independence] - 1 person is online.
Baekho Lee seemed to have entered the chat room as soon as the community opened. Well, I was very disappointed when I logged out even then. I was also anxious that I might not come next time..
Like a child who doesn't want to be separated from his parents.
‘Huh, it's still not easy to see..’
For some reason, my appetite was bitter..
An icon of misfortune brought in on the day of discharge, and a dead figure in this world who survived for nearly 10 years..
Lee Baek-ho has a great interest in me, but…….
I don't fully trust this guy..
[ah… … Well, I'm actually in hiding so the latest information is a bit limited.?]
At that time, the guy said he was in hiding. So, he introduced me to the ‘Watcher of the Round Table’, saying I was weak in the latest information..
Last time, I just passed it by…….
We cannot rule out the possibility that he is a member of Orculis or the underground city of Noark..
‘Even if we are Koreans and all, here we are just people whose faces and names are unknown..’
Soon I gathered my thoughts.
Maintaining a relationship with Lee Baek-ho has more benefits than losses..
So, let's dig into his identity, but don't overdo it and reveal information about Orculis without revealing it..
That was the moment I double-clicked the mouse..
“Tongue...!!!”
A large room reminiscent of an aristocratic mansion.
Before I even had time to look around, Lee Baek-ho came running towards me..
“Ah, Hansoo! Why did you come now?!”
“No, I came right away.…….”
“I was so anxious because I thought he was dead.!”
I don't know if he's really just talking empty words, but for some reason, his eyes are bloodthirsty and his hair is messy as if it's been pulled out..
It hasn't even been 5 minutes since the community opened and this is the reaction..
How hungry for affection was this guy?—
“Brother, you can’t die yet! I haven't been able to talk about idols yet, nor have I been able to curse politicians or the military. Only my brother can do that with me... … ! We also need to talk about Dungeon.!”
Ah oh… … . That was the problem.
Well, it's funny to expect a person who survived here for 10 years to have the emotions of an ordinary person..
I smiled and sat down on the chair..
“stop. Because I don't die.”
“yes. So what should we talk about first? Oh, Lovelable’s 3rd full-length album? Of course that would be best?”
No, who is Loveable?…….
Since I had no interest in the entertainment industry, I naturally turned the topic around. For some reason, I feel like I'll give you a straight face if I tell you I don't know..
“……Let's talk about the military..”
“Great, great! uh? But when I thought about it, it wasn't public interest.?”
“Still, I went to training camp, man..”
“Umm…….”
Are the stories from your time as a trainee not that appealing? Baekho Lee made a strange expression and spoke to me carefully..
“Bro, after all, we’re just talking about dumpsters.…….”
“I haven't tried that.”
“Yessssssss?!! You didn’t say it was in the public interest.?!”
Lee Baek-ho looks blank as if he heard something he couldn't hear..
But did he come to his senses too late??
“iced coffee! sorry. brother. I didn't mean it that way. I know?”
“……Okay, let's put it that way..”
“yes…….”
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lee Baek-ho scratched his cheek, looking somewhat despondent..
There was nothing I couldn’t understand psychology..
I was so happy to hear that they were Koreans, but I guess they realized that they actually didn't have much in common.—
“Phew! Puhhhhh…….”
“why are you laughing?”
“No, bro. Still, isn't it funny? The conversation we just had.”
is it? i don't know.
Which part was so funny?.
“I can't really explain it, but for some reason, I really felt like I was back in Korea just now..”
Oh, that.
“……I think I would know that too. What does it feel like?.”
“Yes?”
Soon, Baekho Lee chuckled and sat back in his chair. And rather than forcing a topic and having a conversation, we talked naturally..
We started by asking what we originally did, and we just kept talking as things went by, and eventually we ended up talking about the military..
“The training camp was also funny. I didn't know there were so many crazy people in our country.?”
“Because the environment is the environment. Everyone goes out and becomes normal..”
“but… … That's it too. We didn't know it would end up like this, did we? When I go back, I'll probably have to go to a mental hospital first.?”
“I think it's better not to talk about this..”
“no. Have you ever thought about it? I kill anyone who gets in my way, I kill them even if I get suspicious, and when I meet someone new, I worry that they might hurt me. People's lives... … It just feels like a game character. This is absolutely crazy.?”
The air has become heavy, as if the giggles just moments ago were a lie..
“You'll adapt quickly. Just like when I came here.”
“……I guess so.?”
“okay.”
After that, there was a moment of silence..
It was Lee Baek-ho who opened his mouth first..
“Anyway, that’s why I’m thankful to my brother. He honestly wondered if he really needed to go back these days. It's not because I like it here... … . You know? what am i saying.”
“okay.”
“My brother might think it's no big deal, but at least it's motivation for me. If he's giggling here, it makes me believe that he can do the same when he goes back..”
It's faith…….
I felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort from that word..
However, I did not inquire deeply..
It's not yet at the stage where I'm certain, and I've decided that there's nothing to gain by messing with it..
“Oh, I know more about these guys called Orculis.?”
I naturally got to the point..
He said it was no big deal, as if his goal was just to end the heavy atmosphere..
I threw it away and focused on the change in Baekho Lee’s expression..
There was no significant change.
but…….
“Orculis? Why are they curious??”
Baekho Lee asks the reason first..
Until now, no matter what I asked, he just gave me an easy answer..
More and more doubts arise.
What on earth is this guy??
***
“To get to the last floor, you need the Noble Phantasm of Creation. I was wondering if they had stolen it. Oh, you know that someone stole it?”
As I typed the lines I had prepared without a moment of silence, Baekho Lee lowered his head..
“yes. I know. But that's why you asked... … . I felt relieved.”
“I can't believe I'm relieved?”
“Oh, it's no big deal..”
Lee Baek-ho vaguely continued speaking..
“Anyway, my brother managed to think that far too. Actually, I used to think that way too..”
“Not now.?”
“yes. I tried various methods to check, but it doesn't seem to be the case. That's right, it's been about half a year since all of the Noble Phantasms of Creation were wiped out.?”
“I can't believe it's all taken away?”
“Oh, you didn't know that. All six races were wiped out. And on the same day.”
Later, the elder said that other races might be in a similar situation..
It was true..
“Realistically, it doesn’t make sense. Stealing things from other races, even dragons and humans? Even though they can fly and crawl, they can't do that. Well, I did some research just in case, but I couldn't find any clues..”
“Then you don't know who stole it.?”
“yes. If you find any traces, please let me know. You know, if there's a way to get back home, that's the only way.?”
This was a question I asked because I was curious about Orculis, and I learned something unexpected..
He also knows nothing about the Noble Phantasm of Creation..
I even had the delusion for a moment that maybe this could be the final dark side..
“Bro, you’re not thinking about something else, are you? Competitors or something like that. Anyway, up to five people can open the door at the same time. It would be helpful if I was there..”
“no, that's not it…….”
I couldn't say what I was thinking to his face, so I just blurted it out..
“I just find it a little strange that you say that to me. How can I find traces that even you couldn’t find??”
“Uh, if you put it that way, I don’t have anything to say… … . But for some reason, I think my brother is special. In fact, he was like that from the first time I saw him..”
“……I really have nothing to say when you say that..”
“Hey, I heard you also broke 10 times the price? Won’t you be similar to me in about 10 years? In fact, there is almost no room for me to become stronger now.…….”
Let alone saying that there is no room to become stronger..
I could feel Lee Baek-ho’s mental strength in his casually speaking voice. He was already thinking that it would take another 10 years to find the Noble Phantasm of Creation..
But you never think of giving up.
How on earth did you get that obsession?.
“right. Can I tell you a funny story? My brother probably didn't know either. It's a setting that didn't exist in the game..”
“What?”
“There is a huge underground city beneath the sewers. It's Noark.”
“……Noark?”
I struggled to keep my composure..
Should I call it a non-examination lawsuit??
I never thought he would bring this up first..
“yes. It reminds me of Orculis. Actually, this is their headquarters. Do you know the Ormi Revolutionary Group??”
I chuckled at the slightly unexpected name..
The Ormi Revolutionary Group.
“These are kids who sometimes come out to events. He said that if he gets a little bit of fame, he will come and turn the world upside down together..”
For reference, accepting that event always resulted in a dead ending. I tried it countless times out of fear that there might be a hidden condition, but there was nothing I could change because it was a problem with the game structure itself..
“Noark was also made by those bastards. He failed in his rebellion and fled downstairs..”
“that's interesting. Anyway so?”
“That's it. The goals are similar, right? So I heard that the two of them are working together there..”
Partnership between Noark and Orculis.
This is what I found out from the letter left by High Priest Ludwig..
In other words, starting now is important.
How can I ask for information about the dragon slayer without raising suspicion?.
It was a moment when I was thinking about this..
“Brother, I'm telling you just in case, even if you receive a request from the royal family or guild in the future, don't even come close to anything related to this..”
“I think we need to hear the reason first..”
“Ah, if I keep saying this, the story gets longer again.…….”
Baekho Lee looked at me and sighed and continued speaking quickly..
“They say he's a dragon slayer, but that guy did something completely stupid this time. I guess I kidnapped the high priest and took him with me and lost him. It looks like someone accidentally picked up the letter and brought it to the temple or something..”
I swallowed hard and asked back..
“……What happened??”
“I don't know the details either. They say I lost my memory and don't know what happened to me.?”
I lost my memory?
Could it be that it has something to do with one of the vines being cut off??
I wanted to ask more details, but Lee Baek-ho didn't give me time to do so and finished his sentence in rapid fire..
“Anyway, what I want to say is that they violated the agreement first and a punitive force may be formed, so you should never participate..”
“…….”
“They're not still alive down there. I got involved for no reason and only my brother got hurt. Okay? Lady, it's already time. brother! See you later—”
Soon, Lee Baek-ho's voice was crushed and disappeared without form..
“Nimiral.”
log out.
In other words, it meant that time ran out and it was kicked out..
***
After Baekho Lee disappeared.
I returned to my room and took a moment to gather my thoughts..
No, to be exact, I thought over that one sentence he said over and over again..
[I don't know the details either. They say I lost my memory and don't know what happened to me.?]
Considering the pills the psychopath gave me back then, it's quite possible..
But the problem is I don’t know if this is fact..
There is a possibility that Lee Baek-ho heard the rumors created by Orculis and passed them on to me..
But if this is true…….
‘It makes sense that the vine broke..’
It's understandable to some extent..
This ring doesn't break the bad relationship with that guy..
It just postpones it.
‘In the end, it's only a matter of time before you get caught..’
If you keep track of who gave you the letter, you'll find out about me someday..
There is also the issue of disposing of the dragon slayer sword..
Even if that is not the case, there is also the possibility that Noark has a means to restore memories..
so that…….
‘What I will do will remain the same.’
I sat down at the computer again and did what I had to do..
I checked to see if there were any information sales posts, and if so, I met them and purchased them at a reasonable price..
Even if it wasn't information about the dragon slayer, it didn't matter. Under the assumption that they might all be enemies, we gathered and gathered information..
How long has it been like that?.
[03: 09]
It is time for the Watchers of the Round Table to open..
I deliberately waited until there was 1 minute left before entering the secret chat room..
Because the beauty of concept lies in the details..
I profit—
When I put on the lion mask on the table, the closed door opened..
A long red carpet extending all the way to the room with the round table..
As I walked slowly, I could hear the sound of a conversation from afar..
“Does that person not want to come this time??”
“I don't think it's anything strange. There's no need for him to need us..”
“No, who is that person? Everyone is saying that.?”
There was a voice I heard for the first time in the middle..
It appears that he was a member who was not present at the time.…….
“It's hard to explain..”
“I'm a weirdo. So, if you ever meet me, be careful what you say. Otherwise you're going to have a very hard time..”
A newbie said to the experienced advice of a senior.
“Ha, I really don't understand. Are you all kidding me? Physical power doesn't work and you don't know my identity, so why are you so scared??”
“Fish sit. Isn’t there just one thing to live for??”
“what… … . No matter how hard you live, if it's like us, it's enough defense.?”
The newbie muttered as if it was absurd..
Therefore, I continued my stopped steps and made a show of being popular..
plod.
At the sound of loud footsteps, the members sitting at the round table all turned their heads, and I quietly passed behind them and sat down where I had sat last time..
“Long time no see. Mr. Investigator.”
Everyone except the clown was silent as they looked at me..
But I guess I didn't like that atmosphere.?
The newbie grinned and laughed awkwardly..
“Ah oh… … . Well, there was a real newbie, right? Haha.”
I quietly stared at the newbie..
And, I opened up the life I had practiced so hard..
“……!!”
Cancer, if a newbie comes, we have to suppress it first..
That's the tradition here?
