Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 158
158angry lion (4)
The reason why sacred relics were mentioned in the meeting is simple..
Except for the part that bothers me a little because it is information that is close to me, it has a lot more advantages..
‘First of all, it helps with the concept of mysticism..’
Isn’t it right after the clown raised the mood?.
This seems more plausible than suddenly bringing up the labyrinth-related story..
This was the information you were curious about earlier.?
Well, let me tell you. It's a prize.
I thought that if I blurt it out like this, the members who were expecting to hear some information will have nothing to say..
Actually, that judgment was not wrong..
Far from being disappointed, I could see at a glance that expectations for me had grown even more..
“……Do you even know where the master is??”
I shrugged my shoulders at the fox’s words..
It means that if you bring something fun, there is nothing I can't tell you. Fortunately, the fox seemed to understand and squeezed his small hand tightly..
As if I were determined to listen to it someday..
‘Anyway, no matter what you bring, it's going to be boring.…….’
It pricked my conscience, but I quickly shook it off..
Isn’t this a business relationship where we meet while wearing a mask anyway?.
It would be right to only care about my own interests..
‘Still, I think I'm well motivated..’
This was the second advantage I judged..
Due to the structure of the Round Table Watcher, it is difficult to guarantee complete anonymity. Information that others do not know means that you have access to that information..
‘The crescent moon talked a lot about fairies, and the fox seemed to be up to date with the latest information about people and events rather than hidden pieces..’
Of course, unlike the goblin whose identity as a paladin was revealed, the other masks seemed to protect the line..
However, in order to bring interesting information, you will have no choice but to reveal the bottom line..
If you use this concept well, it will be of great help in inferring its identity..
‘I don't know about the other kids, but I'm curious about the clown's identity..’
In that sense, it was a good opportunity..
They are also curious about my identity..
Due to the situation, we will only be able to solve information about the labyrinth from now on, so we must not miss the opportunity to pretend that it exists..
You won't know after the first few times..
If you keep doing that, you might get suspicious that you only know a lot of game information and that you are actually a piece of shit..
Anyway, here is the third advantage..
[I want to buy information about who gave the trust to me..]
The clown had already shown a strong interest in the oracle, and decided that it was reasonable to write about it this way if the information was going to be known anyway..
Of course, I'm not sure how much he can figure out. Because I don’t know how heavy the mouths of the people at the temple will be..
but…….
‘Rather, you can check it through him..’
Even in Watchers of the Round Table, the clown who is treated as high level cannot find out.?
Then I can feel at ease too..
This means that the secret is well kept..
It was a car that was tilting its head hard while maintaining its chin-resting posture..
“Now, let's take another turn.?”
The second wheel began under the leadership of the fox..
This time too, the start was Goblin, and there were some twists and turns from the start..
After getting a red light, I barely got a green light on my next attempt.…….
Members raised objections all at once.
“The real name of the saint. If you look for it, it might be useful somewhere.…….”
“You're trying to eat it too raw..”
“Maybe it was in the past. It's going to be hard to move on from this now..”
In the end, Goblin had to come up with new information that was useful enough for the members to acknowledge, and with difficulty, he passed on to the next turn..
Oh, by the way, the information was about the temple..
‘If you're the leader of the 2nd Holy Knights, isn't she the woman who was next to Krovitz when the oracle came down? Who would have thought that woman was gay.’
It was information close to scandal, but surprisingly, members did not raise any objections..
I thought I roughly knew the thoughts..
He must have judged that it was valuable information that could be used to identify the second Holy Knight Commander's weakness if he could obtain the evidence. This is a world where homosexuality is considered a very serious sin..
“Okay, so it's me..”
Fox Mask, who was next in line, talked about the double number item that would be coming to the heavenly auction house..
“You're using one piece of information twice..”
Deer Antler expressed his dissatisfaction, but did not go so far as to file an objection..
I know it too.
Double numbers are worth it.
Anyway, the turn continued, and confidential information came out from the members' mouths..
The deer antler contained information related to royal politics, and the crescent moon mentioned a story about a fairy tribe's successor who committed a mortal sin and was stripped of his position..
“Hmm, now it's my turn.?”
6The clown who exploded the bomb called human binding magic also relaxed a little this time and released ordinary information..
Hmm, maybe it's a little too ordinary to say?
“In fact, this mask we wear wasn't chosen by anyone..”
“What do you mean?”
“The Master said that when you first choose a mask, you choose the one that most closely resembles your destiny..”
That was quite interesting..
It's a bit vague to be useful information, but.
“That's why Mr. Goblin looks down on me. It means a fate that is moderately shrewd in a weak subject..”
The goblin mask, the target of the clown's nopaku-style example, was shaking..
But did that look a little pitiful??
“I don't know about goblins, clowns. I think I know why you're unlucky..”
Deer Antler muttered sarcastically to the clown..
However, the clown just laughed and made a fishy sound without showing any signs of being offended..
“But this doesn't seem like very important information..”
“yes. The Master said so, he is a little curious, but…….”
“Bring up something more helpful.”
The clown clicked his tongue at the three people's objections..
“Tsk, at least they gave me a clue about fate. Is this a pearl necklace on a pig's neck??”
The clown mutters like that and looks at me..
This time too, I didn't respond and just stayed quiet..
Silence is always the middle way..
“Then I guess I should talk about something appropriate to my level..”
Soon the clown brought out new information..
It was about the Explorer's Guild, and this time it passed without objection..
So it's my turn again.
I solved one of the information I had selected in advance..
Although it is advanced information, it is so advanced that it is useless even if you know it..
“The stone of revival is real.”
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone's eyes gathered around the round table..
And the moment the jewel radiated green light.
“…….”
“…….”
Silence has come.
***
“What is the stone of revival?……?”
The first to speak was the goblin..
The fox answered his question while looking at him..
“It's an item that can bring people back to life. No, should I say that it is a well-known item??”
‘The ‘Stone of Revival’ is an item whose existence was only known through rumors in the game..
It was worth it.
In order to eat this, you have to meet crazy conditions in an environment where heavenly luck follows you..
The first time I ate it was purely by chance, and even though I knew the conditions for obtaining it, I couldn't get it. But do the people who broke the cheat version have any idea?.
“Well, if you have that, you can really bring the dead back to life.?”
Soon the crescent moon cautiously asked,.
His voice was filled with excitement that he couldn't hide..
Is there anyone you want to save??
“okay.”
I provided a small service in return for hearing a lot of useful information today..
“If you have a revival stone, it is possible to resurrect a lion..”
Although there are complicated requirements, it is safe to say that the effect itself is as known..
But couldn’t I be satisfied with this??
“Then, who could possibly have that item?—”
“stop.”
I coldly cut off Crescent Moon’s words and recited..
If you want to hear more, come back with valuable information..
Soon the crescent moon also came to its senses..
“Then please let me know what your interests are. I really need that item.”
Well, I didn't expect this development.…….
I thought about it for a moment..
He is a weirdo who finds everything boring and boring, but he is a detective who even participates in gatherings like this to see if there is anything interesting in it..
Indeed, what answer would he have given here??
Before long, an appropriate line came to mind..
“I do not know either.”
The investigator himself does not know.
“what am i interested in.”
It's a bit of a middle-of-the-road setting, but other than that, it's a pretty good concept..
If you do it this way, you will not only get information that can be used broadly.…….
No matter what you say, it will be easier to judge it as boring..
“I guess it won't be very difficult. To please someone like you.”
Soon the crescent moon let out a long sigh..
His eyes were full of determination to find out. For some reason, her conscience pricked her, so she rested her chin and looked away into space..
But did it look lonely??
No one spoke and there was a moment of silence..
“Hmm! So, what should we do now? If everyone is okay, let’s take one more lap.?”
Soon the fox took the role of moderator and led the conversation, and the goblin raised his hand..
“I will leave here. Now I don't have any information to satisfy you..”
“Then I'm out too. I've prepared a lot more just in case, but looking at today's level, I'm not confident at all..”
After Goblin and Deerhorn also announced that they would not participate, it was decided that the meeting would naturally end..
But what is this again?.
‘Ha, once again?’
Everyone is quietly looking at me without leaving..
Come to think of it, it was like that at the last meeting too..
Everyone pretends not to be like that, but I have to say that they are curious about my evaluation.?
Well, I guess my pride was a bit hurt last time..
At that time, he seemed disappointed and said that it was only this much..
‘……So what should we say this time??’
After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision..
And after looking at the various masks one by one, he chuckled..
It seems like the effort was in vain.
“looking forward to the next one.”
Thanks to you, I am getting good information..
***
The round table room where the investigator left.
The goblin let out the question he had been holding in in a dazed voice..
“……Who on earth is the author??”
“It's clear that I'm not an ordinary person.”
Staghorn clicked his tongue briefly in response, and the goblin let out a long sigh..
I was just saying this to try to make an analogy..
Why am I always treated like this??
Soon the goblin revealed what he was thinking..
“……Maybe it's someone from our side.”
“Fishit, what do you mean, goblin??”
“Less than ten people in our church knew information about the trust. Each and every one of them was at least a high priest or leader. If the author is one of them, full explanation—”
“Ha, I thought, what do you mean?.”
The clown suddenly stopped talking and snapped nervously..
“This is why you are always looked down on. Why are your thoughts so simple? Is that guy a cardinal? leader? I think it will only amount to that much.?”
“but! Otherwise it doesn't make sense. Not even 15 days have passed since the oracle came down.…….”
“Tsk, that’s pathetic. Don't you think that one of them might have been a human hand or foot??”
“Such nonsense…….”
The goblin frowned as if it were absurd..
After all, he knows how faithful the high-ranking members of the temple are..
They are absolutely not the ones to come under the control of outsiders..
But what is this again?.
“Wait a minute, is that what everyone thinks??”
Everyone but yourself is accepting that nonsense..
“Because I can't explain it other than that..”
“To be honest, I thought he would be a maverick or something. But that wasn't it either.…….”
“Maybe we're connected to a bigger deal than we ever imagined..”
At this point, I'm starting to wonder if it's possible..
Could it be that the man's hand has truly reached the core of the church??
Of course, I couldn't be sure of anything yet..
So the goblin focused on the conversation that followed..
“Then, let’s put our heads together during the remaining time. Even if you don't know his identity, you might be able to find out what kind of person he is.?”
“That sounds like a good idea. Maybe you can find out what he's interested in..”
With the fox's suggestion, reasoning through collective intelligence began..
The goal is to find out the identity of the investigator..
“Let me do it first. He wasn't even interested in double numbers. It's probably so strong that there's no need for something like that..”
“The same was true for the Noark subjugation plan. I didn't move a thing after hearing it. It is clear that the central part of the royal family also has eyes and ears..”
“Fishit, I don't know, but I'm sure I've killed at least thousands of people. He doesn't even know what he's interested in. I've never seen anyone so broken.?”
Every time we talked about our observations one by one, I began to suspect that we had been hypnotized as a group..
The horoscope was a guess of the crescent moon..
“perhaps… … He might know our identities..”
“What do you mean, Crescent??”
“When you first brought up the story of the Stone of Revival, you were looking straight at me. As if he knew my story.”
The goblin burst into laughter without realizing it..
I know I'm not an ordinary person, but isn't this too much of a leap??
‘It seems more likely that it was a coincidence... … . To begin with, the seat you sat in was right at the front.?’
Of course, it was just a thought in my head..
Because everyone was taking Crescent Moon’s words seriously..
“Hmm, I was a bit curious as to why he suddenly brought up the story of the Stone of Revival, so that explains it..”
The clown was completely convinced, and the others also thought it was a possibility worth considering..
Slowly, the goblins also became confused..
Since all the smart people were saying the same thing, I started to think that it could really be true..
“ah!”
Then the fox clapped his hands and shouted loudly..
“mask! There is a mask.”
“mask… … I mean?”
“yes. If you think about that mask, won't you get a sense of what kind of person he is??”
“Well, if what the clown says is true, then maybe we can find out what kind of personality he has..”
“Let's go…….”
Soon, the members took turns talking about things that come to mind when they think of investigators..
“Well, when I think of lions, the first thing that comes to mind is the story about dropping their cubs off a cliff as soon as they are born..”
“You mean to raise only those who survive? Those are all rumors. Well, to become that strong, you must have experienced something more severe than falling off a cliff..”
“Nothing comes to mind except Fishit, the King of the Unemployed. Does this mean that Mr. Susa will become king someday??”
“Hmm, he definitely didn't look like someone who would work under anyone..”
“I've heard that the lion was used as a symbol of the emperor in the East..”
“A symbol of the emperor! This is kind of interesting.!”
The goblin just stayed quiet and listened to what they were saying..
As I was doing that, a thought suddenly occurred to me:.
‘They say lions are polygamous... … . Couldn't it just mean that he is a seller with a lot of spare clothes??’
Of course, this time it was just a thought in my head..
Because if I tell you, it’s obvious they’ll just look at me pathetically..
