Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 470
470Hua Pia (2)
Prime Minister and second-in-command of Lapdonia.
The Marquis of Tercerion has been a concern of mine for a long time..
That's because he was the one who tricked me and sent me on a suicide expedition with a smiling face..
It was obvious that you would look at me like a thorn in your eye..
‘Meanwhile, there were many actions that I didn't understand..’
A representative example is my ‘seungjak’..
As he is a marquis with great power, he would have definitely been able to stop it if he had wanted to..
My victory was approved and carried out so easily..
In addition, it is suspicious that he made his daughter Ragna carry out the 'evil spirit incorporation policy'..
The Marquis was a mysterious enemy..
but…….
“I'll try to keep it as short as possible..”
After listening to Lee Baek-ho's next words, my doubts were resolved to some extent..
“First, the Marquis announced that Bjorn Yandel was an evil spirit and implemented a policy of incorporating evil spirits. Actually, it's because of me..”
Lee Baek-ho planned to use my reputation to send evil spirits up to the sun..
It was an absurd, yet plausible plan..
Didn’t Ragnar’s perception improve because of me and he became sincere about that policy?.
There is no one better suited than me to explain the logic that good evil spirits also exist..
“Why are you trying to make evil spirits come up to the sun??”
“Only when the players' power grows can they all work together to harass the royal family.?”
Lee Baek-ho's goal is the overthrow of the royal family..
10It has been a long-held belief that in order to break through the layer, the royal family must first be harassed.?
“Then what about the marquis? There is no reason for the Marquis to grant that request..”
“Oh, that? I threatened you.”
“…Threat?”
“yes. The prime minister's son is also a player..”
Here I am truly surprised.
Somehow they sold the name of the royal family so easily..
I never thought there was such a background.
‘Starting from the beginning, a direct blood relative of a prestigious family? Is the balance real?…….’
This is a story that will make players who started from Noark hear a stomachache and even faint..
I guess it's not something I need to worry about right now..
“The Marquis probably thought it would be difficult if it were revealed that his son was an evil spirit, so the threat worked..”
In response to Lee Baek-ho's threats, the Marquis wanted to protect his son..
“It must have taken time. It's not like I have any other children. If the heir disappears, only the marquis remains, right? What will your relatives think??”
“I don't know, but I guess I'll try to calculate at least once what my line of succession is..”
“that's right. Although no one will attempt to assassinate the Marquis, the entire faction will be shaken..”
“I still don't understand. Rather than handing it over to an evil spirit, wouldn't it be better to just give it to another relative??”
“I told you. What the Marquis needs is time. From what I've heard, it sounds like they're putting in a lot of effort every night.?”
This was information I didn't really want to know..
By the way, how old is that guy?.
Is this a last-minute spurt??
‘Maybe bringing Ragnar in was a kind of plan B.…….’
When I was thinking that, Lee Baek-ho suddenly apologized..
“By the way, I'm sorry bro. It was probably because of me that the Marquis sent his brother on the expedition..”
“…What do you mean??”
“If my brother comes back alive and it is known that he is not an evil spirit, there will be a problem in proceeding with the evil spirit incorporation policy that I requested, right? So he probably tried to get rid of his brother. without anyone knowing.”
But the attempt failed, and Bjorn Jandel announced in front of everyone that he had returned alive..
“After that incident, he contacted me saying that he had no choice..”
Since it was ambiguous to say that it was the marquis' fault, Lee Baek-ho thought so too and suggested that Bjorn Yandel be excluded from future plans..
Isn’t it declared that it is not an evil spirit anyway?.
It was decided that it could no longer be used as a card..
but…….
“Then he asked me. Can you kill my brother? I can't go into detail, but I think he will become a big problem in the future..”
I honestly got goosebumps.
Let alone the fact that he was plotting such a sinister act as soon as he returned..
“At that time, I said I would just think about it. The conditions presented by the marquis were not quite bad..”
“Was that why you said last time that you were glad you found out now?……?”
“Ah haha... You're really quick-witted..”
……I almost died.
Without even knowing it.
“But eventually you found out it was my brother, right? I already told the Marquis properly. The request is refused. And don't even think about touching Bjorn Yandel in the future..”
“…….”
“how is it? At this level, I think I made the right deposit..”
It was something I had no choice but to admit..
Doesn’t this mean that the Marquis can’t harm me directly at least until the problem with my son is resolved?.
‘First of all, does it mean it’s an hour less?…….’
It was an unexpected income, but I opened my mouth as calmly as possible..
“so? Is there anything else besides that??”
The moment you are satisfied, your share decreases..
***
Afterwards, Lee Baek-ho confidently told me about the options he could give me in addition to the advance deposit..
However, as expected, there was no substance..
“If you want to kill someone, just tell them. 'Cause I'm gonna throw it away!”
“okay? Then please kill the marquis..”
“Uh, that's a bit... … . Even if you kill that bastard, he will be resurrected in the palace..”
“…resurrection? What does that mean??”
“Oh, you don't know that. Is it because it's something that wasn't in the game? Anyway, there is such a royal treasure, and it is now in the hands of the Marquis..”
“Then Count Alminus?”
“It's hard for her because she always has Yongin by her side. Because it’s a cub that specializes in defense… … . I think it's possible to break through if you have enough time, but it's probably a bit difficult within the city.…….”
What is this guy?
He spoke confidently.
“So who can you kill??”
I thought it would be quicker to ask this, so I asked as politely as possible, but for some reason, Baekho Lee lowered his head and cooed..
“No, really… The kids you mentioned are strange... … . Why do you only choose those kids?…….”
Of course, the time when Lee Baek-ho was intimidated was extremely short. The guy who quickly recovered opened his mouth again with vigor..
“ah! Then how about this? I heard you play Dreadfear Raid? I might be able to help you—.”
“I do not need.”
“yes?”
“I'm sure it will attract a lot of attention, so do you want to announce that you and I are friends??”
“uh… Wouldn't it be okay if I disguise my identity??”
“it's okay. Because I can catch it without you anyway.”
“…….”
Lee Baek-ho is speechless.
In this case, I thought it would be better to just say out loud the support I wanted to receive..
“money?”
“How much do you need??”
“one billion stones?”
“Well, I can have that much money.…….”
“Then 500 million stones?”
“I don't have much money on hand right now.…….”
“……1billion stone.”
“……I've had a lot of money to spend these days..”
What's wrong with this guy, he doesn't have more money than me??
“Then give me some equipment. What number item do you have now??”
“uh… I can't give you that because they are all core items..”
What on earth does he want to do?.
No money, no equipment..
“Baekho, do you know what a water rocket is??”
“…….”
Baekho Lee couldn't say anything..
“What is the integer? I think it would be good if you dug up some for me and gave it to me. For example, Belarios.”
“brother… It's a war zone right now.……?”
“Baekho, you are the type of person who always looks for reasons why things don’t work out first.?”
“…Ah, okay! I'll give it a try. I'll dig into it from the next entrance.!”
Yeah, why act weak when you can.
‘I didn't know it was possible to skip the Belarios grind like this..’
It's not a bad income.
If so, now it’s time to move on to the next option..
“Baekho, there are a few things I want to ask, will you answer them??”
“yes Anything!”
“How did you find out that I was Bjorn Yandel??”
“That? Thanks to GM. As soon as Ben was released that day, the GM called me. I heard my brother threatened me to untie my van.?”
Holy shit... That happened?
“I was really surprised to hear that. Was Hansoo that bad? I didn't understand, so I pretended to be in the same group as his brother, and the GM leaked out little by little information.?”
In front of Lee Baek-ho, GM also generously displayed his characteristic charm and spilled information..
“Brother, I heard you wear a lion mask or something at the round table.?”
Starting with my work as an investigator at the round table—.
“It was okay up to that point. But suddenly he asked me?”
Even the most important thing was blown away..
“Why did my brother not show up for over two years? What are the two of us planning? So you turn it around and ask me…….”
Baekho Lee grinned..
“I got the feeling right there..”
It was natural that he knew who I was..
Bjorn Yandel's return coincides precisely with the long hiatus that Suza had..
In fact, there were kids at the round table who doubted me because of that..
“I see.”
I felt like my stomach would explode if I heard more about GM, so I moved on to the next question..
“Then, when the fire broke out in the ecliptic, what was with the Annihilator? You two disappeared together.”
This was something I had been curious about for a while..
What happened between the two back then that made them friends now?.
“Oh, that's it?”
Lee Baek-ho shrugged his shoulders and answered..
“Nothing special. He said he was an evil spirit from another world and his goal was to open the door to the abyss, so we should be friends from now on? I still needed a wizard, so I quickly agreed..”
“Oh! really?”
I answered as casually as possible..
It was a simple reason.
Just like Baekho Lee noticed right away when I lied the other day..
I could feel it instinctively.
“yes. I was worried because he was old and losing a few teeth, but he had some skills.?”
Baekho Lee.
Why on earth is this guy.
“Hmm, yeah?”
Are you lying to me?.
***
A skilled liar hides lies beneath the truth..
According to that logic, most of what Lee Baek-ho said just now would be true..
thus…….
“What are your future plans? It's simple! My brother and I will join forces and go to the royal palace or the labyrinth! Oh, this is a joke. What are you going to do first?—.”
I asked a random question, and while Baekho Lee was answering, I carefully analyzed what he said one by one..
[He said he was an evil spirit from another world..]
First of all, this is a fact I also know..
[Is your goal to open the door to the abyss?.]
Same goes for this.
[They said we should be friends from now on.?]
It is probably true that cooperation was sought..
Otherwise there's no reason for the two of you to move together..
ok then…….
[I still needed a wizard, so I quickly agreed..]
This is the only remaining candidate.
To summarize based on this, the conclusion is as follows:.
‘The reason Lee Baek-ho joined hands with the Destruction Scholar was not because he needed a ‘wizard’..’
That is, there were other reasons.
The important thing is that Baekho Lee hid it from me..
why?
‘Because it was information you shouldn’t tell me..’
Seeing Lee Baek-ho's clumsy appearance, I couldn't even unravel my heart for a moment, and my alertness was aroused..
Lee Baek-ho, he really is a formidable bastard..
‘What else are you hiding??’
When I think about it, Lee Baek-ho gave me almost nothing..
At best, I could only get them to promise to ‘dig up the essence’ by begging them..
Oh, should I also add that I will return Misha??
‘……In many ways, he is a man with many schemes. Do you really want to help me in the first place??’
I really don't know.
“The royal family is the biggest problem in this plan. All the players are still hiding, right? So it's hard to get together from the outside, so we have to get everyone up to the sunny side first.—.”
Baekho Lee Is this guy my enemy or ally??
***
After talking with him some more, it was time for Baekho Lee to leave..
There was still a one hour limit for logging out..
“Bro, please ask me that when you meet the GM later. Didn’t he probably take the early version pills at first? If there is a way to extend the stay time, please let me know..”
“okay.”
“yes. Then let’s go! See you next time!”
In the end, I couldn't even ask Lee Baek-ho what the 'record stone' was until he left..
It's a bit hard to say this, but things are going well right now..
I decided that it would be okay to dig up Baekho Lee's secret in earnest after I got Misha back..
“Brother, you had a good conversation.?”
After Baekho Lee left, I spent some time talking about various things with Hyeonbyeol, who was waiting outside..
“uh, thanks.”
“Don't be too friendly with him. I'm not trustworthy.”
“know.”
“……If so, I'm glad. Actually, the question I asked about my brother was also a test..”
“…test?”
“yes. Doesn't this guy give off a hint that he knows about his brother's identity? I tested how heavy my mouth was. Well, maybe I noticed, but I didn't say anything in the end..”
“……Is that so?.”
It's hard to believe that the test was for the purpose, but since there was no evidence, I just assumed it was so and moved on..
And how much time has passed since then?.
“Hyeonbyeol, I’ll just go now..”
I quickly wrapped up the conversation and got up..
“It seems like you always go at this time.?”
That's because the round table is always held at this time..
“See you next time then.”
“yes.”
After leaving the chat room, I went straight to the round table..
He puts on the navy blue suit he always wears and puts a satin mask over his face..
Then, all preparations are completed with this..
plod, trudge.
Pass through the empty hallway and head to the main room where the meeting is held..
But what is this again??
“Hahaha! Fox, it's been a while.!”
Eventually, we arrived at the round table room where, in addition to the existing members, there was a mask that I had never seen before..
That too—.
“Oh, are you the detective? Nice to meet you!”
“…….”
“Hello…….”
Three people.
