Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 334
334Hwa to the Future (4)
The best situation is for the GM to have no doubts about me until I get the information I want..
But was it too much to hide it until the end?.
‘Well, if it happens like this, there’s nothing we can do..’
I shook off the slight remaining regret..
Anyway, the information I've uncovered so far was enough to make it worth bringing out the 4th formula..
‘I don't know what school it is, but I'm 6th grade at age 20..’
Moreover, the group of three candidates was reduced to two..
There's no way Auril Gavis didn't know his name when he met him..
But looking at the reaction…….
‘There's no way this is Zerkiv Elmen Mackinder..’
33.3%The probability of has become 50%..
And this is probably the end of the Maginot Line that I can find out while hiding my identity. Well, I have no intention of just being satisfied and leaving..
‘I think we can find out based on those conditions alone if we do a background check on the two candidates.…….’
There is no need to take the easy route..
The reason I dug up information more actively than usual in the first place was because I had this means..
“say. Who are you? How did you get in here and why did you pretend to be him??”
The GM, who saw through my acting, is putting pressure on me with great force..
As if he had become something.
‘cute.’
I smiled and opened my mouth..
Anyway, before I left, I was going to reveal that I was a different person and tell you this..
“Auril Gavis.”
“……what? That's the name of the game creator—”
“That's the name of the old man you met..”
The GM frowned when I interrupted..
I heard what was said correctly, but I don't seem to understand the content at all. As a player who cares about newbies, I kindly added an explanation..
“He is the one who summoned you to this world, and he only wants to use you. And I don't feel any guilt for doing this. beware of him.”
“Even if you say something like that while hiding your identity,—”
what.
“It's your choice whether to believe it or not. I just came here to warn you.”
“…Then why did you pretend to be him??”
“Because I wanted to know what kind of person you are before I told you this..”
Of course, I don't think GM will 100% trust this..
I didn't tell the 100% truth in the first place..
In fact, GM is also keeping a close eye on me to see what the intention is..
but…….
‘What matters is how plausible it sounds..’
Humans are so sensitive that when you hear something like this, you feel a little uncomfortable, regardless of whether you believe it or not. It's the same way that you can't help but be concerned if there's a crack in the wall, even if it's very small..
maybe, if, maybe.
Just having those keywords engraved in the GM's mind is enough for now..
‘Well then, I guess this will be enough for the spat.…….’
There are countless reasons to be wary of Auril Gavis, but I decided to stop talking about it here..
Rather than explaining things in detail, I decided that it would be more effective to let them stimulate their imagination..
“……When you say things like that, do you think I'll be swayed by your words?!”
Of course, my identity is more important than Auril Gavis right now, so the GM raised his voice..
“If you don't reveal your identity quickly,—”
It was such a laughable thing..
‘Question, that's not how you do it..’
Especially when it comes to people who seem stronger than you..
I took a step forward and asked.
“If you don't reveal it?”
The GM, who was speechless, tried to open his mouth to say something, but no sound came out..
I just open my mouth and swallow the empty air..
“……Hehehe!”
Male lion type.
Rule 3: Contempt of the weak..
plod.
As I took a step closer, the GM began to tremble and show the whites of his eyes..
Hmm, I didn't know my mental strength was this low..
“You're weak.”
I flew around the round table during your time, man..
If things continued like this, I felt like I wouldn't even know what I was talking about, so I lowered my intensity a little more..
And he quietly whispered.
“Aika Teratios.”
The name of the second candidate given by Lee Baek-ho.
However, GM's response was not what I expected..
What is this man talking about? Is it like casting a spell or spell??
Those eyes filled with only wariness are directed at me..
‘Tsk.’
Hey, this isn't it either.?
So now there is only one candidate left.…….
“Jurben Havelion.”
I continued without giving any time..
I wonder if Lee Baek-ho had made a mistake at all, and it wasn't like he didn't have that anxiety..
but…….
“……!”
The reaction was noticeably different from before..
Temporarily dilated pupils.
increased breathing volume.
stiffness of facial muscles.
Even to the point where he doesn't avoid my eyes and tries to look casual..
I also considered the possibility that he might be a master of the poker face..
“Yeah, that was your name..”
While I was filled with joy at finally finding out GM's name, I also felt somewhat bitter..
‘I never thought I would succeed until the third try.’
33.3%and 50%.
The odds are worth trying both, but I was anxious because I got a successive number of loses, but there was a winner among them..
Actually, I'm always like that..
“Jurben Havelion.”
I mumbled the GM's name as if I was thinking about it and slowly relaxed my life..
Then the GM, who was unable to breathe due to stiffness in his standing position, knelt on the floor and began to gasp..
Meanwhile, eyes were fixed on me..
“What the hell are you…….”
Eyes full of fear rather than hostility.
However, once the deadly force that was constricting my body and mind disappeared, was it possible to make rational judgments??
flash-!
A pure white light briefly blinked, coloring the whole world..
There was no reason to panic as this was something I had experienced countless times..
“See you later.”
The community server was taken down using the master's authority..
***
“Did you wake up?.”
When I opened my eyes, Amelia was sitting next to the bed..
There was only one reason why this person who was busy walking around every day and night these days was by my side..
'Cause I'm incapacitated while I'm in the community.
Could something happen in the meantime??
‘10Something happens in less than a second…….’
I think I'm being overprotective, but it's also true that I feel grateful regardless of that thought..
“Here it is.”
I was thirsty so I reached for the bottle of water I had left on the nightstand, and Amelia picked it up for me and handed it to me..
“Ah, thank you.”
“So how did it go??”
After taking a sip of water to quench my thirst, I told him about what happened there..
Amelia listened without hiding her interest, but she didn't make too much of a fuss either..
“Jurben Havellion, I never would have guessed that the reclusive wizard was an evil spirit. If it becomes known, the city will turn upside down..”
“reclusive wizard?”
“Don't you know? It is famous for being confined to the magic tower and rarely living outside. I believe that most of his current reputation was created during his time as an explorer..”
“Right.”
This is my first time knowing about a house stone, but I still have some general information thanks to a little research I did a while ago..
Due to an incident, the entire school he was involved in collapsed, and after that, he became independent and founded his own school, and he mainly used wind attribute magic during his days as an explorer..
In addition, in the field of magic tool production, which is his specialty, he has achieved a unique position that no one can match..
‘So Lee’s name was also ‘magic engineer’..’
Anyway, the story that started like that ended with the fact that it was fortunate that the record fragment stone did not work..
“…Thank goodness?”
“Ah, right from the middle, I thought this was the role I had to play in this era. If this was your last role, wouldn't you have had to go back as soon as you opened your eyes without even being able to buy equipment?.”
“ah… That too… Yeah, I see..”
“huh? Amelia, why are you doing this??”
“no. So did you find a place to hide the equipment??”
Amelia nodded at what I said and looked somewhat strange, but it wasn't enough to make me inquire..
The next topic may be more important.
“Well, I don't know. I walked around a lot, but should I say I don't feel safe? I'd like to discuss this with you too..”
After listing the places I had visited so far, I asked Amelia for her opinion..
“Surely there are elements of anxiety in all of them..”
“It would be perfect to hide it in the sacred forest, but I'm a little uneasy about that shaman wandering around all the time..”
“Then how about leaving it in a bank vault??”
“bank vault?”
It was an unexpected method..
That’s because to use the bank, you have to use the identity ‘Nivelz Nche’..
Not only is there a possibility of problems when recovering as Bjorn Jandel, but above all, 'Nivelz Enche' is a status that will be expunged next year for non-payment of taxes..
Simply put, what is deposited in the bank is returned to the national treasury..
‘However, it is impossible to pay 20 years' worth of taxes in advance..’
I didn't even list it as a candidate because it is a method that has realistic limitations in many ways..
‘But he couldn't have said this without knowing this.…….’
“tell me in detail.”
As I adjusted my posture, Amelia opened her mouth..
“Alminus Bank has something called a ‘bearer fixed-term safe’..”
“This is my first time hearing it.”
First of all, it was a system that did not exist in the game..
This means that it is an update that occurred within 150 years..
“No wonder you don't know. It is a system so little known that even among explorers who frequently use banks, there are very few people who know about it..”
Afterwards, Amelia briefly explained about the anonymous fixed-term safe..
‘To sum up, if you pay money without revealing your identity, your items will be stored for a certain period of time. To find an item, all you need is a password..’
Well, it's not bad.?
***
next day.
After a long time, I went out with Amelia and visited the bank to check whether there were toxic provisions in the system or hidden uneasy factors that I was not aware of..
and…….
‘At this level, go away to the Swiss bank.?’
I decided that it was at least safer than burying it in the ground, so I put Crowl's Demon Crusher in an anonymous personal safe..
For reference, the period was set at 22 years..
Well, because of that, the amount that had to be paid in advance was quite large.…….
“Don't worry, that's enough to pay for it..”
With Amelia's blessings on me, this kind of money wasn't a problem..
Well, fortunately, it seems like things worked out well..
“Uh, I really made up for all the money I was lacking.……?”
After working around day and night for more than two weeks to earn money, Amelia has indeed made the promised capital..
When asked what kind of magic he performed, the answer was this:.
“It's nothing special, I sold information..”
Information was sold using the returner privilege..
The main customers are those who were interested in this auction..
It seems that the name and color of the essence to be exhibited this time were sold.…….
“But it's a bit strange. What do they believe and buy information?”
“Oh, in that case, he used his position as the head of the central exchange branch..”
“You used it? how?”
“I followed the branch manager around every day and night to investigate, and at least one thing came up that was worthy of being caught. I threatened you with that..”
Oh, by the way, perhaps because the exchange puts a lot of effort into maintaining security, it is said that even the branch manager did not know what the integer was.…….
Of course, it was just a minor problem for us..
The important thing is to make customers think that the inside information is trustworthy..
“We stopped by the branch manager's office together to prove our friendship, and no one questioned the authenticity of the information. They probably thought that if the information was incorrect, they could hold the branch manager responsible..”
After hearing all this, I couldn't help but be amazed..
A level of resourcefulness that makes you wonder if you would have succeeded in business..
Is this really the dignity of an SSR colleague??
“Amelia……!!”
“W-what… … ! don't stick……!”
As a result, everything was organized in Amelia Sun, starting with where to hide the equipment, selling the equipment, money to buy purified water, and finding the balance..
and…….
“Huh, is it today?…….”
As time passed, the auction day arrived..
