Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 471
471Hua Pia (3)
Fox, Goblin, Jester, Queen, Antlers, Crescent Moon.
And new masks were added to the rally that had been held for a long time with a total of seven people, including me..
“Oh, are you the detective? Nice to meet you!”
Wolf mask with a sly voice.
“…….”
A black mask without any features.
“Hello…….”
Finally, the butterfly mask with a young voice.
As I was looking around, the fox explained the situation to me..
“Mr. Wolf here was active before Mr. Suja came..”
“Haha! After the master disappeared, I was so busy living that I forgot about it, but then I remembered it and came back..”
“Fishit, I thought you died a long time ago? I guess I managed to survive.?”
“Haha! The clown’s harsh words are still the same.!”
Okay, then it has been confirmed that the wolf is a returning member..
When I gave him a wink, the fox spoke about the other two as well..
“The two people here... I also saw you for the first time today..”
Yes, Black Mask and Butterfly are newbies so this is it..
Since this is what the fox with the longest round table experience said, you can assume it is true..
The problem may be something else.
‘Newbie at this time…….’
It's also a bit suspicious.
That's because the last newbie was the queen who became a member without an invitation with the help of the GM..
In fact, there have been no newcomers to the round table invited by the ‘master’ for several years..
“Anyway, it's fate that we met like this, so let's say hello! I already did it with that queen over there... … . huh?”
I glanced at the wolf's outstretched hand as if asking for a handshake, ignored it, and went to my seat and sat down..
“Haha… okay! What is the importance of greetings?!”
The wolf returns to his seat and sits down with an embarrassed expression..
“…….”
Black Mask is still sitting in its place and not showing much interest.…….
“……Eh, hmmm…….”
When the butterfly mask made eye contact with me, it cleared its throat awkwardly and averted my gaze..
and…….
Cooung-!
The door to the round table closed, as if indicating that entry time was up, and a strange silence came. Existing members must have been equally embarrassed by the sudden appearance of new members..
gulp.
A place where the sound of goblins swallowing saliva can be heard unusually loudly..
“ruler… Then, the investigator is here too. How about continuing the conversation that was interrupted earlier??”
In the end, the queen, who had been watching the situation, stepped forward first..
“First of all, I understand Wolf, but I'm curious about how the other two got here. Butterfly, and um… What should I call that one??”
The black mask responded softly to the queen's words, who were trying to organize the titles..
“……black.”
It was a bit confusing because it was a low tone, but it was a woman's voice..
“It's black... great. So how did Black and Butterfly get here? Have you met someone called ‘Master’??”
“Hehe…….”
Butterfly Mask laughed awkwardly at the queen's question, while Black Mask spoke in a cold voice..
“Why should I answer that question??”
As Black Mask carried the gun, Butterfly Mask next to him also said something..
“Yes, Black is right. It's against the rules here to ask about each other's identities... Maybe not? Hit.”
A butterfly that smiles brightly and says what it has to say openly.
And that wasn't even the end of what he had to say..
“Wearing a queen mask does not make you a real queen. Hehehe.”
“………I beg your pardon?”
“to? Don't say anything!”
The queen trembled, speechless, at the innocent voice..
It was a very impressive scene..
‘Hey… … . Contrary to first impressions, this guy is not easy..’
But did other characters get that same first impression?.
Suddenly the clown started laughing loudly..
“Haha! Puhahahaha! Oh, this is rude… There's an interesting new person here.!”
“Thank you…….”
“fish sit.”
“Hehehe…….”
It seemed like these two were quite on the same wavelength..
Well, is this something that people who smile brightly have in common? It was a world I didn't want to understand..
“Let me give you one piece of advice: be careful what you say here and only to that investigator over there..”
“Hehe… is that so?”
“You don't ask why?”
“That's right... Just by looking at it, it looks like you shouldn't touch it.……?”
The butterfly mask said and glanced at the queen..
For some reason, it felt like I was hearing unspoken back words..
For example, ‘I’m different from that person’.
“……under!”
The Queen must have interpreted it similarly to me and snorted as if she was shocked..
Of course, I didn't care about the butterfly mask..
“So when does it start... … ? I was really looking forward to today…….”
Those words that seemed to urge the start of the meeting drew the attention of existing members to me..
First, I will check my doctor first..
Unidentified new members participated in the rally. Are you okay?.
Of course, my answer was decided..
It's not like I have the authority to kick them out anyway..
“It might be fun.”
I'm actually curious too.
“Hahaha, it's been a while so I'm feeling a bit excited..”
“…….”
“Hehe… So who should do it first? It's a bit burdensome at first.…….”
Who on earth are these people?.
***
Wolf from a returning user.
A black mask that seems to have many secrets.
Butterfly of Sorijangdo.
There are many suspicious things about these three members that I saw for the first time today..
Of course, compared to the unidentified Black Mask and Butterfly, Wolf, an existing member, is better.…….
‘It's a matter of coming back after a few years..’
Today's return does not appear to be a mere coincidence..
That's right, even though he's returning after several years, he doesn't seem particularly interested in the Master's whereabouts..
Just like this.
“By the way, Wolf said it's been a while since he came, and he didn't ask any questions about the Master.?”
Perhaps she was thinking similarly, the queen who asked the wolf a question on my behalf..
“Haha, I hope he is doing well wherever he is.?”
“Hmm, is that so??”
“…Rather, how about deciding the order first? Oh, by the way, I don't mind as long as it's not the first one..”
Ha, really, why is it so suspicious??
Just looking at Amman, it seems like the old man sent someone to Auril Gavis, who was also the Master of the Round Table, to pull some tricks..
If not all three, at least one.
‘The most likely ones are Black Mask and Butterfly..’
First of all, there are few new member routes anymore..
Either enter with GM authority like a queen. Or, like me, you can come in with an old invitation code..
In fact, there are only these two, but Auril Garvis, who was the master of the Round Table, must still have several codes..
‘There is a possibility that the queen is secretly sending someone in and pretending not to notice..’
It's still all just a possibility.
so that…….
“Let’s just follow the tradition and start with the wolf next to Mr. Lion, right? Fishit.”
I have to watch it first..
Until I make a mistake and lose the clue.
“tradition? What does that mean? There was nothing like that before—.”
“Wolf, a lot has changed since you were gone. Well, if you don't like it, just leave.?”
The wolf expressed his disapproval at the clown's strong words..
“Huh…….”
“Fishit, seeing as you can't go out, I guess you just happened to come in once? Have you heard about this somewhere??”
Just looking at it, it looks like the clown is trying to get some clues by gently scratching it.…….
“Haha, it's been a while since I've seen these faces. I wonder if they'll leave already. The first step isn't particularly difficult. Well, if the rules change while you're away, you have to follow them..”
The wolf smiled cheerfully and began his turn..
“Okay then, let me do it first..”
So what should we do then?…….
The wolf, who seemed to be pondering his luck, finally opened his mouth..
“In fact, the reason I came here again was because I recently learned something surprising. But there was no one to tell this story to.—.”
“Mr. Wolf still talks a lot.?”
When the clown interrupted the conversation and gave him a look telling him to get to the point, the wolf smiled awkwardly, cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and spoke briefly..
“The Master of the Round Table is Auril Gavis..”
Immediately there was a strange silence at the round table..
It was a simple reason.
“Isn't it amazing? The person who brought us here and gave us various knowledge is the person who created [Dungeons & Stones].—.”
That's the information the Queen told me last month..
“…uh?”
The wolf panics and flinches as soon as the red light comes on from the gem..
“Why is this…….”
“Why? It means information that the majority of people know. Oh, it's been so long I forgot that too?”
“…….”
“Instead of such trivial information, why don't you bring up something interesting??”
It was a bit funny to see the clown who was so surprised after hearing that information last month do that.…….
Thanks to you, one thing has been confirmed.
The wolf did not know the details of the situation inside the round table..
If that were the case, there's no way I would have brought up the information that came out last month..
This can also be interpreted to mean that there is no relationship of any kind with existing members..
Well, there is a possibility that it was an intentional action..
“after… Then I'll try again..”
The wolf sighed and then spit out information again..
“It is the royal family that summoned the player to this world, and Auril Gavis' goal is to help the player escape this world..”
The wolf paused for a moment and continued speaking as if he had been waiting as soon as the green light turned on..
“Now, how about this??”
No one answered right away.
It was worth it.
Aside from the fact that this guy openly hints that he is related to Aulil Gavis,.
“…The royal family is behind it. Is this solid information??”
It was a shocking story.
There were many rumors among players, but there was no mention of the royal family who summoned us..
There is no ‘motive’ for that in the royal family..
but…….
“Why on earth does the royal family summon us and punish us as evil spirits? Doesn't this make sense?.”
In response to Deer Antler's question, the wolf drew a sharp line..
“I can't go into detail, but you can trust me. Because it is more certain information than anything else..”
“Fishit, it sounds like you heard it directly from the king.?”
The clown made a fuss, but it didn't help much..
“Oh, if you're curious about that, I'll bring it up in the next round..”
“…….”
“Hehehe, now it's the next turn.?”
The fox was next, and he brought out information related to the war..
It didn't really catch my ear..
It was something I already knew from the beginning.…….
‘The royal family is the one who summoned us.……?’
I was still thinking about this.
No, more accurately, I should say that I was worried about the truth of that statement.?
‘What this bastard said... How much can you trust??’
Of course, the gem gave off green light..
However, there is something difficult about accepting that statement as truth..
Because there is a hole in the round table system..
If the person who spoke the words believes it to be the ‘truth’, the jewel glows green..
That means.
‘There is a possibility that the information is incorrect..’
Now, the question moves on to the next point..
How did the wolf come to believe false information was true?.
Actually this is not that important.
‘What on earth did the wolf intend to retrieve that information from the round table?.’
The answer was in the information.
‘Because we wanted the player's hatred to be directed towards the royal family..’
The one person who would benefit most from this information.
‘Auril Garvis gave the wolf wrong information and sent it here..’
……Would it be an absurd leap to say that??
I don't know, but I just cleared my mind and focused on the conversation..
“…Now it's your turn.”
Before we knew it, the turns of the fox, goblin, crescent moon, and deer antler were over and the newcomer's turn was beginning..
“black seed.”
This guy is just as suspicious..
***
“Besides opening the gates of the abyss, there is a way to return to Earth.”
Black Mask uttered a short word and received a green light. As the content was content, many members were upset and asked various questions, but Black Mask remained silent..
‘…It's a way to return to Earth.’
There was only one expected way.
‘I think you're talking about dimensional magic.……?’
I learned about dimensional magic at a round table I visited 20 years ago. The Doom Scholar was researching dimensional magic in order to return to his home world, and it seemed like he had actually achieved some success..
Maybe that magic was the reason why Baekho Lee became friends with the Annihilator..
Anyway, the important thing is the other part..
‘Black mask… This could possibly be a spy sent by Lee Baek-ho.?’
There are several grounds for suspicion..
First of all, Lee Baek-ho would also know 'dimensional magic', and it wouldn't be surprising if he had one more invitation code than the invitation code he gave me..
‘…Above all, the motive is also quite clear. Because he has a lot of questions about me.’
“…So now it's your turn, Queen? Fishit.”
The Queen, who brought out advanced information as if competing with a clown, brought out general information related to the political world, perhaps wary of unfamiliar members..
Although it was some interesting information, it was clear that the intention was to pass the turn..
“…Hey, it's me now?”
The order of the butterfly mask has arrived.
As if she had thought of something in advance, the butterfly calmly shared the information without wasting time..
“In the royal family. Dimensional collapse can be intentionally caused..”
Ha, somehow it seems like new members are spitting out more impactful information than existing members..
“……I guess it means the rumor was true..”
Everyone seemed surprised, but no member questioned the authenticity or source like before..
Everyone secretly thinks that those words are true, and aren't there two previous examples?.
If you ask me, I'll give you an answer?
“Fishit, so it's me now..”
Soon, the clown whose turn was last began his turn..
“Fishit, we recently started attacking the 9th floor in earnest from Noark..”
Rare information that helps existing members.
Of course, I received a passing decision without any objections, and naturally all eyes turned to me..
“Well then…….”
Now it's my turn?
In fact, I have already decided what to say during the turn..
so that…….
[How could I feel at peace? Of course I feel sorry for you. I also feel responsible. I will probably live with this feeling for the rest of my life and atone for it..]
After recalling what Auril Gavis said to me that day, my emotions rose..
Tuk-tuk.
I opened my mouth with my eyes fixed on the wolf..
Whether the real mastermind who summoned the player was the royal family or not..
With all my heart, according to what I believe.
“Auril Garvis is the enemy of the players..”
I said.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
As if to prove my faith, the gem gave off a green glow..
The reaction was immediate.
“……Investigator, is there a proper basis for what you just said??”
The wolf carefully tackled me..
Of course, there was no reason to worry.
What position have I established here while you were away??
“…Fishit, it must be Mr. Suja's words..”
As long as the promised green light turns on.
You will need dozens of evidence and documents to refute my statement..
