Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 240
240Anger (5)
A study room with the faint scent of books.
“what was it like there?”
The blonde-haired woman, Soul Queens, answered the man's question after thinking for a moment..
“It was a very interesting place..”
It was the most appropriate expression..
A place where a corpse collector is one of the members, and even such a person is completely incapable of doing anything? I didn't know there was a chat room like this in the community..
but…….
“What you're really curious about is not these personal impressions.?”
The Soul Queens laughed as if teasing him, and the man did not deny it either..
Well, there is a different reason why she was infiltrated as the ‘Watcher of the Round Table’..
[Maybe it's a group formed by the Watchers of the Round Table to avoid our eyes..]
spy sent by the royal family.
Or a player from another world.
The man sent her there to check both possibilities..
If so, what will the result be?.
Soul Queens smiled and added,.
“It looks like Love's intuition was right this time too..”
“Which way??”
“As expected, the Watcher of the Round Table seems to have been created by a player from another world..”
“I think we need to listen a little more closely..”
The Soul Queens slowly explained what happened there..
A detective with an overwhelming presence.
A clown whose identity as a corpse collector is revealed..
Deer antlers that are presumed to be from the royal family, and a goblin that looks even more out of place here because it is ordinary..
“Well, I'm not sure about you, Fox. I don't think I'm the type of person who doesn't talk much, but I couldn't really have a conversation this time..”
Nevertheless, the fox was a woman worth paying attention to..
That's right, because she asked to talk to the investigator at the end..
If it's some kind of 'tangent'?
“I'm suspicious of a member called an investigator..”
“Yes, if there are otherworldly players among them, there is none other than that man..”
Afterwards, the man asked for the basis, and Soul Queens answered without hesitation..
“As a corpse collector, he was brought to the brink of mental contamination just by living. When I see him living at his limit, it seems like he still had a lot of time to spare..”
This alone is clear.
This is impossible with the average human mind..
What if it was a player from another dimension who fell into this world over a hundred years ago and survived?.
Even, this is not the only basis.
In the second wheel, the lion said.
[It was an evil spirit from another world that created the Ghostbusters..]
When he said that it was not GM who created the community, he jokingly brought up information that only a few people know..
As if they knew the identity of this side..
then she was sure.
[Yeah, that's exactly what it was..]
This man, who already looked dangerous, is not just a player either..
“Come to think of it, he said he knew the body collector's information from the beginning.?”
“Yes, for your information, the members expected the investigator to know their identities..”
“…That's really suspicious..”
Security within the community is absolute.
Even he, who took over administrator authority and created the current Ghostbusters, is unable to find out their identities..
“How do you think he knew their identities??”
“Well, if you really knew, there are two possibilities..”
In response to Soul Queens' question, the man gave a total of two possible numbers..
“First, if the investigator is like the great wizard of the other world who created this subspace, or has someone like him as a colleague. And the second is…….”
“Second, if the investigator is in league with the man who created the Watchers of the Round Table, then yes.?”
“Yes, that's right. First of all, the current members are all gathered by the ‘Master’, so it would be natural for him to know if he was tipped off..”
“But then it makes no sense for you to know my identity..”
“Not sure yet, right? Next time, try throwing some bait. Does that man really know the identity of Soul Queens or not?.”
“Okay.”
“Anyway, now information about the Master becomes important. Have you found out anything??”
“I haven't met the master yet. However, I was able to hear from Goblin after the meeting that I visited this place on the day when there was a strange connection record..”
“So this means that the person who secretly entered the community that day was nicknamed ‘0720’..”
“I guess that's what will happen. I wanted to find out more, but it seemed like the goblin was still wary of me.…….”
Afterwards, the two talked for about an hour..
It wasn't just about the 'Watchers of the Round Table'..
What happened this time.
Too many players have died.
What is the most efficient way to increase new member recruitment in the future?.
and…….
“What are you going to do, Baekho Lee? You're turning over the magic tower to find Love. Now, Love is just one of several suspects, but I think it will be difficult to hide his identity forever.…….”
Even the most troubling events that have happened recently..
“Mr. Baekho is still thinking. First of all, under the circumstances, it seems like there is a hostile relationship with the royal family... Because you have to be careful. It could be a trap.”
“Yeah, I'll leave that part to Love..”
It was a car where we talked about various things like that..
“Elfnunna, how did the investigation into that person go??”
“All posts have been deleted, so I think it will take a while to restore them. Still, there were quite a few GPs..”
“Did you get it from Baekho??”
“No, I earned almost all of it on the first day. Selling some advanced information.”
He further explained that Soul Queens was information that could be known only if you had played the game to some extent, and that all of his posts and comments were deleted and it would take time to restore them..
“Hmm, I see.…….”
The man tapped the armrest with his index finger as if trying to organize his thoughts..
There was only one reason why he followed ‘Elfnuna’.
‘Because it was determined that there was a possibility that ‘Bjorn Yandel’ and ‘Elfnunna’ were the same person..
Bjorn Jandel.
Barbarian shows unprecedented growth rate.
Unusually, he chose a shield during his coming-of-age ceremony..
elfnuna.
GP was easily obtained by selling in-game information within the community..
Also, Lee Baek-ho is a ‘Korean’ who follows him as an older brother..
This was a very important point for the man..
If the two are the same person, there is a possibility that he is the ‘him’ we have been waiting for so desperately.—.
‘…wait for a sec.’
The man quietly opened his mouth as a thought suddenly crossed his mind..
“Soul Queens.”
“yes, go ahead.”
“Did you say that the male lion was Asian??”
“Yes, even with a mask, you can't hide your skin color..”
As it is a Western game, the percentage of Asian players is very small..
You can tell just by looking at Lee Baek-ho..
He opened a chat room waiting for Koreans, but it took him several years to meet someone from his country..
And the person from that neighborhood said, ‘Elfnunna.’.
‘He was suspected of being the same person as 'Bjorn Jandel'..
“The only thing the investigator clearly mentioned was the identity of the clown, correct??”
The man adjusted his posture and asked.
“Well, I can't say for sure because this was my first visit, but I think it was because of the atmosphere..”
“That's right.…….”
The man nodded and was lost in thought..
That's right, because 'Bjorn Yandel' most recently battled the 'Corpse Collector'.
Is this really just a coincidence??
Of course, it was still a ridiculous leap since we couldn't find out if he was the same person as 'Elfnuna'..
But, that's why.
“When is Bjorn Jandel's title ceremony??”
“I remember it was three days later..”
“Three days later…….”
Soon the man made a decision..
“It's been a while since I went out..”
Rather than worry about it for a hundred days, let's see if we can meet in person..
***
“Hey, wake up, wake up! Wake up!!”
The morning after visiting the community.
I woke up with Misha's back smash.
It's been a long time since I last used it, and I was so tired that I felt like I was going to pass out.…….
“What did you do yesterday to make you wander around like this this morning?!”
After visiting the community, it is better to wake up on time, even if you have to force yourself to do so..
If anyone knows about this place, even the sight of me oversleeping only on this day might seem suspicious..
Now there are more eyes looking at me..
‘I thought the damn assassin would come too.…….’
Yesterday I just collapsed from exhaustion, but I don't think I'll be able to sleep well at night from now on..
Ha, really annoying.
‘Why is everyone so upset that they can’t catch me??’
In my current state, I probably won't be able to fight like usual. I couldn't help but sigh, but I quickly washed my face and went down to the first floor to eat together..
It was a bit of an unfamiliar sight..
That's because there's one more new person at our usual breakfast..
“Hey, you woke up.?”
“Then wake up. Don't just stand there awkwardly, sit down. The food is getting cold.”
“yes yes!”
Erwen sits at the table and eats her food with a somewhat nervous expression..
“…….”
Unlike usual, an awkward silence begins to hang over the table. Fortunately, Misha felt the air and opened her mouth energetically first..
“So what do you think? my food?”
“Oh, it’s delicious… thank you…….”
“If there is anything you want to eat, let me know. I'll do it later in the evening. Oh, and if there are any ingredients you can't eat, I'll let you know later..”
As always, Missha takes care of every detail first..
“carrot! I can't eat carrots!”
Einar thought it was time to join in and was hit in the back..
Huh, will that work?.
I tried ten times but failed all of them..
Since we only eat meat every day, we have to take care of things like this.?
‘My heart is grateful, but…….’
Well, a barbarian has a barbarian life..
“Come on, I'll do the dishes.!”
After the meal, Einar went out as usual and left for the shrine, and the three of them spent time together..
The atmosphere wasn't as bad as I thought..
Should I say that it feels like the ranking has been completely completed??
“Erwen, now come and sit here. We should talk too.”
“yes yes!”
“It might be a little early to ask this, but what are you going to do next? First of all, our team is already full..”
“that…….”
Erwen frowns and looks at me..
I guess you're asking if it's okay to talk about clans?.
Well, there's no reason why you shouldn't do it.…….
I didn't have the energy left to talk at length right now, so I just glossed over it..
“It's too early, Misha. Anyway, isn't it a situation where we don't know if we will be able to enter the labyrinth next month?.”
“that… That's right.”
To be honest, unless this situation is over, it would be wise to stop exploring the labyrinth for a while..
Because there are no financial problems right now..
‘…The most annoying part is that just because it's a city doesn't mean it's safe..’
dragon slayer.
body collector.
Assassin of Noark.
Even the actions of the royal family whose true intentions are unknown..
There are so many reasons to become stronger as soon as possible..
but…….
‘Still, it would be better to watch the situation at least until there is some calm..’
I worked hard to erase my impatience..
Isn’t there a saying that the more urgent you are, the more you have to go back?.
‘I guess I'll have to meet Raven and talk about this properly later..’
Anyway, after that, the three of us ate refreshments and talked about various things..
At first, Erwen looked very depressed and uncomfortable, but when Misha treated her kindly, she surprisingly quickly calmed down..
‘Still, it looks like you finished sorting out your feelings about your sister before coming to our house..’
Thanks to you, I have relieved my burden..
Although she will have no choice but to carry a heavy burden in her future life, Erwen stood up with her own strength..
So surely you can go further.
“huh? I have a younger brother?”
“Yes, I am still young and am staying in the Holy Land. Later, when you become an adult... I'll have to take care of it somehow. Just like my sister did for me…….”
“Nyahat, don’t worry too much. Isn’t there still a lot left? By then you will be a lot more relaxed..”
“Is that so?……?”
Erwen and Misha were having a surprisingly heart-warming conversation. However, Erwen suddenly bowed her waist..
“Well, I didn't apologize properly back then, right? Sorry, I must have been in the dark back then.…….”
“…What is an apple? That's it. If anything, something good happened thanks to that incident..”
I tilted my head..
That time?
When you two met, was there anything worth apologizing for??
“Yeah, but you're okay.……?”
“What's not okay? My thoughts have changed a lot since then... It's not like I deserved it in the first place..”
Misha looks at me while saying that.
For some reason, I felt chills..
It was then.
smart.
A knock was heard from beyond the front door..
“I'm going out.”
I quickly got up and went to the door..
Normally, I would have opened the door immediately, but yesterday I heard information that an assassin might be coming..
First, I asked who he was..
“My name is Raymon Keplo, a common knight of the 2nd Royal Knights..”
The knight announces his identity in a polite tone, perhaps because he is scheduled to receive the title of baronet..
I checked through an external microscope and found that the armor was in good condition and other knights were crowding in behind me..
‘I don't think this is a lie..’
I opened the door because there was something to point out..
Then, face to face, I confirmed the business they had come for..
It was good news after a long time.
“An order came from above..”
“If it is an instruction?”
“This is an instruction to protect Mr. Yandel from any unsightly people who may be present..”
Yes, the antlers moved..
