Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 575
575angry return (1)
A white mask with no features.
She wears a dull-colored robe that covers her entire body, and her hands, the only ones exposed to skin, are wrinkled..
“Hehe… who is that grandfather?”
“…….”
Black Mask and Butterfly look suspiciously at the visit of a stranger..
However, the queen was different on the first day she was seen..
“no way…….”
It was the first time meeting him, but given the circumstances, he seemed to realize who that old man was..
“master……!”
Soon the wolf realized the identity of the uninvited guest and jumped up and ran away..
“Long time no see, wolf. How have you been??”
“Thanks to you, I am always fine. But, Master, what are you doing here? If you could at least give me a hint…….”
Words that make anyone guess that there is a connection between the two..
“It's the last one, isn't it? I took one look at her face and stopped by. There's something to do here.”
“A thing to do… What do you mean??”
The wolf seemed curious about the contents, but the master did not tell him in detail..
Well, it makes the listener curious..
“Rather… … . Could you please step aside for a moment? I also want to say hello to others..”
“ah… … ! sorry!”
When the master noticed, the wolf immediately apologized and returned to his seat..
Someone would think it was a dog and not a wolf..
As I was watching the situation with that thought in mind, the Master's gaze shifted to me..
“Cause and effect is truly mysterious. How does it feel to see the end??”
Unlike when we first met at the round table, he had no intention of hiding the fact that he was ‘Auril Gavis’ anymore..
Of course it wasn't anything particularly strange..
[The Master of the Round Table is Auril Gavis..]
Because the wolf already brought out that information here..
The reason that information came out in the first place was probably because of this old man's permission..
Tuk-tuk.
Then why did you show up here again??
Looking at that strong relationship, if the goal was to convey a message to me, it would have been fine to just have a wolf do it..
Even though I was running a calculator in my mind, I answered naturally..
“Not really, nothing.”
“Hmm, really? I thought it would feel a little disappointing. Of course, isn't this place actually something you made??”
Well, that's true..
Although it is not exactly a round table, it is a system of this truth game..
“blood, fishet??!”
“A round table… That person made it……?”
The problem was the reaction of the people listening nearby..
***
One word, two words, three words.
“Oh, of course, it was more than 20 years ago... … . At that time, there were only evil spirits from this world..”
Every time I continue a conversation with the master, violent reactions erupt from all over the place..
“20There was a round table even a year ago?……?”
“No, rather, it is an evil spirit from another world.…….”
Huh, that’s really annoying..
If this is going to be the case, can't we just talk quietly, just the two of us??
That's what I thought, but I decided not to pay attention to this part for now. Right now, I feel like my head is going to explode just from dealing with this old man..
“So what's going on here??”
“Didn't I tell you? I have work to do, so I came to see you after a long time..”
The old man who said that shifted his gaze and spoke to another member..
“Nice to meet you, Miss Fox. How are you??”
“yes? iced coffee… yes… … . long time no see.”
“Honestly, I was a little disappointed. I followed him so well when I had nothing, but now I don't even think of him as a benefactor. Chuckle.”
“Well, how do you do that?……!”
The fox was visibly embarrassed at the mention of what was said earlier, and the others' eyes lit up..
Well, how would you know that?.
Even if you don't hear the reason, it's obvious.
The old man has the means to eavesdrop on everything that is said here..
That means.
‘…I've always heard stories about this place..’
Goosebumps run down my spine..
I knew it was insidious, but I never thought I would have such bad taste..
The really creepy part is that when you open the door and come in, there is a mask that you can't see and everything..
Lying is so ingrained as a habit.…….
“excuse me… It's not like that…….”
“You don't have to make excuses. I'm really fine so don't worry.”
But it's probably true that I'm okay.
To this old man, the existence of a fox would have no value whatsoever. Even if you bleed and die before his eyes, if there is no reason to save him, he will just watch..
“hey.”
At that time, the queen, who had been watching silently, joined the conversation..
“That one... Truly the Master of the Round Table, so... Is this Auril Gavis??”
“Even so?”
“…There's one thing I'd like to ask. Wolf said he had the power to prevent the community from being shut down... … . Is it true??”
“It's true. Because I was the one who weakened your authority in the first place..”
A very casual statement.
The queen asked after a long pause..
“…I beg your pardon?”
Seeing that reaction, Auril Gavis let out a laugh that sounded obnoxious and continued..
“You said there was a problem with the device, but the device you gave him was actually fine. It just felt like the authority that had been transferred to me was slowly being erased..”
“Taking away authority... How is that possible??”
“There's no way I would have handed everything over to that friend intact..”
A concise and clear answer that leaves the listener speechless..
“Don't be too sorry. I'm just getting back what was originally mine. Besides, haven't I used it well so far??”
“…….”
“Okay then, let's end this story here.…….”
Auril Gavis, who had neatly silenced the queen, walked over and placed his hand on the jewel on the round table..
and at that moment.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-.
The jewels turn into light particles and flow through Auril Garvis' fingertips, like a monster corpse disappearing from a labyrinth..
“This is the end of what needs to be done..”
Unlike the other members who were watching blankly, I knew what that action meant..
20A year ago, Auril Garbis said he lost most of his control over the space when he created Jewel of the Round Table..
So, guessing based on this,….
“I was here to take back my authority..”
Auril Gavis has thus regained his former authority..
“That's right. Now I can do anything in this space. In short, this is also the case..”
As wrinkled hands waved through the air, the masks of all members except me were removed..
Tuk.
Masks peeled off and fell on the table as if pulled by an invisible hand..
“Wow!”
“……!”
“blood… sit?”
Soon, the true colors that the members were hiding behind their masks are revealed, and chaos ensues..
Some people covered their faces with both hands, while others squatted on the floor so that their faces could not be seen. Also, someone was staring blankly into space..
Of course, not everyone took such a passive approach..
Huh-!
Someone made the quick decision to log out as soon as the mask came off..
Even two people at the same time.
“Contrary to what you look like, you're a shy friend, aren't you? It doesn't matter if everyone sees what it actually looks like..”
The first person to disappear in an instant without saying goodbye was a clown..
What did he look like?
I think he was white, but he disappeared so quickly I couldn't even see him..
It seems like he was a little fatter than I expected.…….
‘Another person disappeared... It's a black mask.’
The place where the black mask used to be was empty..
This one escaped even faster than the clown, so I didn't even see him at all..
Therefore, before escaping any further, I took a quick look around..
“…What is this?!”
The queen, who was screaming in confusion, looked like a typical foreigner with blue eyes and blonde hair..
Well, it doesn't feel like she's a peerless beauty or anything like that..
He looks really ordinary, and his age is estimated to be in his early thirties. The members looked at the sight in surprise and felt doubtful..
“Somehow… The face looks familiar…….”
There was a high possibility that it was not just a matter of mood..
The queen is in charge of the guide role of judging newbies to see if they are real players or not..
Anyway, then.
‘Goblin is…….’
Surprisingly handsome.
No, he's very handsome too.
Should I say that I think I can become an actor??
I thought he was Southeast Asian because his skin was dark, but in reality, he was a typical South American handsome man..
‘In short, he is a South American handsome man.?’
south american handsome man.
It's the same even if you turn it upside down. It can't be anything other than an absurd coincidence.—.
‘…This isn't important.’
I rolled my eyes and checked the naked faces of all the members, pretending not to do so..
I know that appearance in the community doesn't mean anything, but honestly, I was a little curious..
What kind of people are they in reality?.
‘Butterfly is Asian. The fox looks younger than I thought. The wolf is just a guy, just like you expected.…….’
secret round table meeting.
Conversations between old people there.
However, behind the masks that heightened the sense of mystery, their faces were very ordinary. No one seemed particularly strong, and no one seemed harsh-hearted..
but…….
‘It's no different than me.’
Who could imagine looking at Lee Han-soo’s face?.
He is said to be an optimist who can smile even after smashing a person's head with a hammer and having his limbs torn off and covered in blood..
It will be the same for them too..
There is no one among these people who has not had a drop of blood on their hands..
Those people all died long ago..
“excuse me… Why did you take off your mask? … . Joe, a little… No, honestly, it's very uncomfortable... … . ah! that… It's not that I'm angry or anything.…….”
Soon the goblin noticed and spoke carefully, and Auril Gavis answered right away..
“Hmm, weren’t you curious too? What kind of people are you talking to every time? Since it was the last time, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to take off our masks and hang out with each other at least once..”
“uh… … . Yeah, I see.?”
The goblin nodded with a blank expression and then glanced at me..
It was obvious even without listening to what he was trying to say..
“But… Why is Mr. Investigator…….”
“I'm guessing why didn't you take off your mask??”
“yes… That's right.”
Auril Gavis took off everyone's masks without asking for their consent, but I was an exception..
If so, what is the reason?.
“LOL, I'm a bit cautious about dealing with that friend too! If you treat me rudely, I don't know how you'll get away with it, right?.”
“iced coffee… Yeah, I see.?”
After hearing the answer, the goblin nodded awkwardly..
It was kind of funny for some reason.
If you're going to just agree without saying anything after receiving an answer like that, then why did you even ask the question??
Well, it was like a goblin, but it was like a goblin..
“…….”
“…….”
In that state, a strange silence flows..
Auril Gavis seemed to enjoy the situation without saying anything, and the members kept glancing at me..
It seemed like he wanted me to do something, so in the end I had no choice but to speak up first..
“so… Is the business over now??”
If you have more business, it means urging you to speak up quickly..
I said it in an uncharacteristic way, but fortunately the meaning seemed to have been conveyed well..
“no. There's still one thing left.”
“one thing?”
“I have a question I'd like to ask you..”
“okay? Go ahead and try it.”
I said as if I readily agreed..
I decided that I could first listen to the question and then decide whether to answer or not..
but…….
“There are too many people listening to ask questions..”
Auril Gavis glanced around in a sly voice..
“However, I feel a bit sorry to immediately kick him out like this. They forced me to reveal my face, but shouldn't there at least be compensation for that?.”
As soon as I heard the word reward, my body gained strength..
Because there was no way this old man was really sorry and would give me something like compensation..
There must be something hidden here.…….
“It's no fun if you just give rewards, so let's all play a game together..”
As expected, the story gets longer..
“game… Are you saying?”
“Yeah, game. Don't you like it too? For your information, I plan to give the reward to just one person who plays the game and wins..”
“…Do you know what the reward is??”
The goblin checked the reward before even hearing what kind of game it was, and Auril Gavis responded coolly without saying anything like putting it off for fun later..
“I'll send you back home.”
Everyone’s eyes changed..
