Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 545
545angry ghost (3)
While giving information, look around at the same time..
“……!”
“……!”
Okay, looking at their reactions, it seems like it's confirmed that regular explorers will turn their attention..
“in just two months…….”
“single number…….”
“……two?”
Well, one was pulled out with Garfas' necklace, and the other one was luckily caught and eaten by a guardian.…….
I didn't lie.
In the first place, they are items that could not have been eaten unless it were a magic stone or a ‘guardian’ monster from the first basement floor..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
Eventually, the green light became so clear that silence fell within the round table for a moment..
From here on, everyone reacted differently..
A little while ago, everyone was shocked by the content itself..
“How on earth did the work there happen?…….”
“I understand that less than 120 people have gone down so far.…….”
“Hehe… no way… inside?”
Some people expressed curiosity about my identity..
“Fish shit, you're stupid. There is no place in this world where Mr. Suja's gaze does not reach. Didn't you see it earlier? I knew intimately what happened in the crack on the 8th floor. that… To begin with, it was a top secret with less than 50 people knowing.?”
“but… In the first place, the information about that place first came from one of the members of the Hetz Clan. We cannot deny the possibility that there is an informant among them..”
Some people understood it as if it wasn't surprising..
also…….
“In that case, that informant must be near Bjorn Yandel..”
Deer Horn, a member of the royal family, gave off a warlike look as if he had finally gotten a clue..
What are you going to do if you find out?.
Sigh.
I shifted my gaze and looked at the reaction of the fox mask and Bersil..
It was difficult to read his facial expression properly because he was wearing a mask..
Still, there was no doubt in the way he looked at me..
No, rather…….
‘panic and anxiety.’
I felt a part of those emotions..
‘Do they think they have a henchman among their clan members?.’
Well, you can find out by looking at what Versil does after the community closes today..
Even during the Misha incident, there was a history of people running straight to me and talking about traitors..
Anyway, that's enough for Bersil..
Sigh.
I moved my gaze to the side one more time and checked the goblin..
‘Well, actually, I’m most worried about this one..’
A goblin that is silent as if it has something to ponder, without being swayed by the surrounding atmosphere..
Yeah, I'm just doing that.…….
‘I'm feeling anxious for no reason.’
The round table revealed many reasons why the investigator cannot be Bjorn Yandel, but there are sometimes people in the world who have absurd intuitions..
For some reason, goblins seemed like that type to me..
thus…….
“deer antlers.”
I changed the topic of conversation by talking to the deer horn that was my first turn..
“How long will it be like that??”
“……?”
“Now it's your turn again.”
Now, let's turn around quickly..
Because I still have a lot to tell you.
***
one lap.
“All kinds of monsters and rift guardians appear in the archives on the first basement floor..”
two wheels.
“Numerous new species appear in the archives on the first basement floor, and among them there are also mutant entities..”
“I… What does it mean to be a mutant entity?……?”
I kindly answered questions that would normally have been unthinkable..
“It is an entity that has the skills of various types of monsters. It also drops essence. For example, with the Ogre's passive and the Troll's active..”
“……!!”
“what nonsense…!”
“That's it! Doesn't this mean that new integer combinations can be guessed??”
Some members shouted that it was nonsense, but there was no need to persuade them with evidence..
Anyway, the jewelry will take care of its authenticity..
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-.
Each time the gem gave off a green glow, the members' chatter grew louder..
also…….
flash-!
In some ways, the light of greed is stronger than the light of jewels in the corners of the eyes..
In fact, it was natural.
Yes, what player hears about this honey hunting ground and stays still??
“Fish sit… This story gets interesting.”
“Well, I guess it won't be a very interesting story from Noark's side? Anyway, Noark will have to suck his fingers no matter what he hears..”
A fight between a clown from Noark and an antler from the royal family. Of course, there was no feeling of my heart becoming bigger..
‘Well, kids fighting is still the most fun..’
And perhaps everyone had similar sentiments, and even though the situation was controversial, no one tried to stop them..
I just watch it as if it's interesting.
“iced coffee! Are you like the Lapdonian explorers who were unable to reach the 8th and 9th floors for over a year and fell behind? Fishit.”
“Didn't you hear what the investigator said? If that's what I said, there's no reason to even go to the 8th or 9th floor..”
“Ah, well, maybe that's possible. But what does that mean??”
“……Are you asking because you really don’t know? If this news gets out, the royal family will reconsider the ban on entry, and will support the growth of explorers in earnest. If that happens, it will only be a matter of time before Noark goes bankrupt..”
“Ho, is that so? yes. I'm so scared I feel like crying.”
Deer Antlers sneered at the clown’s harsh answer..
“Well, you clown, you might not think much of it. He has the personality of bragging to the enemy about his failure to attack his own camp, as if he's proud of it. To you, this is just a fun thing to do.—.”
“well? I said it was fun for a completely different reason.?”
Soon, the clown stopped talking and continued speaking with his characteristic laughter..
“Of course, why does Mr. Deerhorn think that this situation will be good news for the royal family??”
“that is… What are you talking about??”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know??”
The clown shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly and stared at one place..
That's where I was sitting.
The clown who made eye contact with me gave a friendly eye greeting and then turned his gaze back to the deer horns..
“Why would Mr. Susa tell the round table information about the first basement level? Even deer antlers have heads, so let’s think about it today..”
“…….”
Deer Antler chose to remain silent at those words..
And one of the members gave an answer on his behalf..
“To disrupt the royal family.”
It was the queen who was quietly listening to the conversation..
“I guess that's the only reason I can think of..”
The other members seemed to understand what she said..
“I guess I wasn't the only one who felt it inside..”
“……There's no way Mr. Investigator doesn't know what will happen if this story spreads..”
“It's never been this blatant before..”
Information released after the royal family's entry ban was issued.
And that's information that's attractive enough to cause a situation that goes against that order. Through this situation, each member seemed to have already sensed my intention..
Well, it doesn't really matter if you keep an eye on it..
“Pisit, but isn't it funny when you think about it that you are so energetic without even knowing that??”
“……You're just interpreting things the way you like. It may have been to help the royal family. The royal family didn't know that the first basement level was such a valuable place..”
“Hmm… well? Which side interpreted it the way it wanted?.”
At the end of the clown's words, the members' attention focused on me..
Everyone didn't say a word, but everyone was talking to me with their eyes..
Which of those two words is true?.
It seemed like he was expecting me to say it clearly..
But, was it uncomfortable to keep my mouth shut?.
“so…….”
In the end, someone came forward carrying a gun..
It was none other than black.
“what is the truth?”
It was a little surprising.
I thought someone might come out with a gun, but I had no idea it would be him..
He always stayed still except for his turn..
“Investigator, are you on the side of the royal family? Or are you on Noark's side??”
A bold question from Black, wearing a pitch black mask with no decorations or patterns..
At this, I briefly muttered..
“You are spoiled..”
It wasn't intended to kill, but for some reason, Black lowered his eyes as if avoiding them..
Well, I guess I realized my actions too late, so I raised my head again and forced eye contact..
‘You seem to have a bit of a temper..’
I continued speaking, recording information in my head about something I didn't know yet..
It's as if they like one thing: grit..
“But, I'll tell you the answer.”
I kept my eyes on Black and placed my hand on the gem..
and at that moment.
gulp.
The sound of someone swallowing was heard.
Before I knew it, everyone was looking at me..
The clown seemed to want me to be on Noark's side, while the antlers seemed to do the opposite..
The rest seemed curious about the truth either way..
but…….
“Wanga and Noark.”
He declared it clearly in front of everyone..
“I am not on anyone's side.”
I'm not making things up that don't actually exist..
Noark is my enemy.
The first one who took away my comrades was the dragon slayer from Orculis, and because of them, I had to throw the damn thing on the first floor..
In the process, Erwen's older sister Daria died..
also…….
‘Needless to say, the royal family.’
The cold anger I harbored that day still remains undissolved..
One day they will have to pay the price.
And as if to prove this.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
The jewels of the round table bring forth the light of truth..
Somehow, the radiance seems more intense than usual..
Seeing this, someone asked as if possessed:.
“Then why on earth…….”
When I checked the place where the sound came from, there was a deer antler sitting there..
“Investigator, why on earth did you tell us that??”
It must have been a natural question for someone who came from a royal family and had to fight heads with numerous political opponents..
An unidentified strongman wearing a detective mask.
I'm not on anyone's side.
Why did you do something that seemed to interfere with the work of the royal family?.
The investigator's answer to that question is simple..
As always.
Tuk-tuk.
I tapped the armrest twice and opened my mouth..
“That way…….”
After all, I guess.
“Because it looks like fun.”
Okay, this should be enough..
***
Afterwards, the round table ended without a hitch, but there were no regrets..
Not only was I able to fully convey what a shitty hunting ground the first basement floor was, but it seemed like the other kids were running out of information for today..
Plus, the timing of finishing it at the end wasn't bad either..
So I just said coolly and left..
‘Well, if you make a fuss about going around there one more time, you'll just lose your shape for no reason..’
Lee Han-soo's room is back again.
I lay down on the bed for a while and rested, then sat down in front of the computer again and continued playing music..
It's ironic, but this community was my only window to the outside world..
“Puhuhhh… Phew, this guy is really crazy.…….”
Oh, my pride is hurt.
What is this so funny??
As I was giggling and looking around the bulletin board, a new topical post appeared in the pinned section at the top of the free bulletin board, updating its ranking..
[Summary of what is known about the archives on the first basement floor.]
I clicked right away and found the content to be very informative..
Starting with how to enter the archive, all kinds of monsters and rift guardians appear there, and the existence of ‘variant entities’..
And above all, Bjorn Yandel ate two single number items here..
In the post, all the information I talked about at the round table was summarized briefly and concisely..
For reference, the author…….
[BFKILLER]
This is my first nickname..
‘First of all, one thing is certain: he is one of the round table members.…….’
Who is it??
Now that there are 10 members including me, it was impossible to choose them accurately..
‘In the first place, it was a good thing that the information was released in the hope that it would spread rumors.…….’
I never thought it would be revealed like this.
This is a completely different development than I expected, as I thought that information would first reach the ears of those who are quick to read this month, and that the information would spread in earnest sometime next month..
‘Well, even though we are all gathered in one place, everyone has different groups and individual goals..’
10It wouldn't be surprising if some people wanted this information to spread outside..
Anyway, that's not the point…….
Drurk, drool.
I scrolled down and looked at the reactions to the comments..
Perhaps because it was before it became a hot topic, many of the early comments were related to fact checking..
[YPPL: Hey, at this level, you should be a writer..]
[gooooooodd2: I'm struggling to write a hot topic..]
[q1q2q3: So where is the basis? If you don't have it, who will you trust? This nonsense information.]
Users who judge it to be simple aggro and pour out sharp sarcasm.
However, such reactions gradually decreased..
[Amer91: I should take a route that passes through the Sculpture Temple during my next exploration. The fools seem to be making love there..]
[└AI_DIDIGO: Information 1, it is a fact that the royal family and major powers already know that the unknown piece is the key to the first basement floor..]
[└ScottBANE: Wow, Didigo, is that true??]
[└Adi: Wait a minute, if the law of admission is true, isn't there a possibility that all the stories behind it are also true??]
[└Amer91: No, but that’s a bit… … . I'm not just dragging it out because I want to receive hot articles based on that piece of information.?]
[└Adi: No, think about it. Who would throw away information that hasn't even been made public yet just to make a hot topic? If only the entry method had been revealed in the first place, it would have been a hot topic.?]
[└ScottBANE: And the more I think about it, the more it doesn't seem to make sense. There will be players on the first basement floor now, and information can be passed on through the community..]
As users who already knew about the entrance method appeared, the situation gradually turned around..
From a simple aggro treatment to a fairly believable story..
‘Okay, at this rate, the information will be clearly conveyed to the city.…….’
When I was scrolling with inner satisfaction.
‘huh?’
I stopped scrolling at one point.
[Pnec: You idiots. Even if someone spoon-feeds it to my mouth, I can't eat it..]
[└bigD: What does it mean that you can't accept it??]
[└Bling0_0: He's always aggro. Never mind..]
[└Pnec: Yeah, I was wondering when your baby would come out. A bastard who doesn't know anything.]
What, they're fighting here again.
When I saw a nickname that I could now remember after seeing it so many times, I quickly scrolled down further..
[└Bling0_0: No? Actually, you know a lot, right? I also know that you are 3cm and 3kb.?]
[└Pnec: Yeah, what does a brat like you know? Tsk tsk, whether you believe it or not, everything in this post is true..]
[└Bling0_0: … … How can you be sure of that??]
[└Pnec: This is information I heard a while ago from someone with a reliable source. By the way, if you try to insult him, he will somehow find you and kill you..]
What is this?.
I heard it a while ago?
‘Is this guy also a member of the round table??’
Such speculations were passing through my mind..
[└bigD: What does it mean that you can't accept it??]
[└(This comment has been deleted.)]
[└Pnec: Yeah, I was wondering when your baby would come out. A bastard who doesn't know anything.]
[└(This comment has been deleted.)]
[└Pnec: Yeah, what does a brat like you know? Tsk tsk, whether you believe it or not, everything in this post is true..]
[└(This comment has been deleted.)]
[└Pnec: This is information I heard a while ago from someone with a reliable source. By the way, if you try to insult him, he will somehow find you and kill you..]
For some reason, a user with the nickname 'Bling0_0' jumped out at the speed of light..
