157 Episode Investigator (3)
A newbie wearing a goblin mask.
Strictly speaking, it could be said that my side is a newbie and that side is a returning user… … .
Sorry, but if it’s been a while since I’ve been here, should I know what’s changed? Or listen carefully to the patch notes your seniors told you.
“Hey, stop… … .”
As soon as the goblin opened its mouth, I immediately erased my life. However, if it ends like this, I will be perceived as just a bastard with a bad personality.
[Is it only this much?]
I decided on today’s line, remembering the last words I left before leaving last time.
The most important thing in concept quality is consistency.
“It was just in case a new person came.”
Shortly after, he sang with disappointment.
I was expecting a little bit because there was a new person, but it seems like it was as expected.
As if he wasn’t just harassing him, he was trying to find out his level.
“It’s not fun.”
He looked away from the goblin mask as if that was exactly the purpose. Then he scans the clown, the fox, the crescent moon, and the antlers one by one.
It has the meaning that disappointment will increase if there are only funny stories today.
“Fisher, don’t worry. Investigator, this time I brought you something that might interest you too.”
I didn’t even answer.
I just sat on my chin and waited.
I’m thinking of this in my mind.
‘Clown, if he said this, wouldn’t it be really important information?’
After all, is that why everyone rolls so low-level people?
It was a time when I tried to pretend I was indifferent.
rattle.
When the time came, the door to the round table was closed.
This means that there are no more members to participate.
There was, however, one thing to do before the meeting began in earnest.
“Goblin, calm down.”
“This guy is funny too. You acted like that every day.”
“Fisit, compared to that time, even though Mr. Susa was considerate, it’s like this! ha! Aren’t you ashamed of me because of you?”
The fox and the antlers smiled as if they were in agreement with the clown’s words.
“exactly… … . It wasn’t like that.”
“yes. This time, I was able to stand it.”
Seeing the two of them glaring at me as if thanking you for watching, I felt a little queasy.
It was a simple reason.
‘That was the maximum output… … .’
This is the maximum that can be turned on and off freely.
I practiced countless times watching Karl Stein’s head use live life in real life, but once I got into sincere mode, I couldn’t turn it off at will.
Still, I thought it would be a good thing to interpret it as caring.
Is this why people have to be there first?
“Sorry, I’m sorry. I am fine now.”
Anyway, slowly the goblin came to his senses.

Maybe it was trauma from what happened a little while ago, and as soon as our eyes met, I avoided looking at them.
‘Certainly, he seems to be inferior to the other four.’
Just look at the fox mask.
Although he had been living my true life for much longer, he was wary of me and not afraid of me.
“Then who do we start with?”
Soon, the fox broke her luck and looked at the clown.
Then the clown shrugged.
“Delicious things are enjoyed at the end, right? How about starting with Goblin-san?”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
Soon after, the goblin cleared his throat as if to make up for the ugliness he had a while ago and spat out information.
“Everyone knows that High Priest Rudwig is missing.”
“So?”
“The culprit was Orculis. He said he was kidnapped.”

Maybe this little priest?
So do you know?
I thought so, but the light emitted by the gems of the round table was red.
“Fisit, it seems like more than half of you know this?”
Somehow the taste was bitter.
It’s been less than a week since I brought you the letter.
Lee Baek-ho as well, those who already knew it were in a situation where they had just heard the news—
“You better get used to it. Normal information is not enough to satisfy those two.”
huh?
“It’s something I didn’t know. Maybe this event will give the temple a boost to the royal family.”
Listening to what the fox and the crescent moon were saying, it seems they were not aware of information.
‘Then the red light is on because me, the clown, and the antlers are aware of this fact?’
Without realizing it, I clicked my tongue.
But am I the only one watching?
The clown looked me in the eye and stood up and annoyed the other three.
“Hey, is there no such thing as implicit rules anymore? I guess I decided not to say that it was something I didn’t know about so openly.”
“Sorry. I feel sorry for goblins.”
“When we were alone, it just passed. But are there any new ones? Now, let’s all be careful. Yes?”
“Yeah, it will.”
Oh, there was a rule like this in the first place.
After all, if it continues like this, it is inevitable that the information who knows and who does not know will be known.
This part took me a while, but thanks to the clown, it worked out well.
‘But somehow it doesn’t seem like it was because of me… … .’
This happened once at the last meeting.
[Crescent Moon, don’t be too discouraged. What you said, usually you don’t know?]
At that time, the clown was the first to act like this.
That is to say.
‘Have you just decided that information can be used to infer your identity?’
I’m not sure, but it looks like it’s quite possible.
However, if that guess is true… … .
‘The clown is either from the priesthood or from the underground city. One of the two.’
The latter seems more likely.
I can’t imagine a clown working in a temple.
Well, maybe he’s doing the concept on purpose like me.
‘This is probably not what’s important right now.’
Soon after, I returned to the assembly and listened to the information the goblin subsequently released.
Was it a shock to see the red light appearing in the previous information?
“The Star Goddess has placed an oracle.”
In the next information, the green light immediately came on.
But was this something that even the clown didn’t know?
“I want to buy information about whom the trust was placed on.”
“Because I don’t know… … .”
“Fisit, it’s something that even the Paladin doesn’t know. Are you really hiding it in the temple?”
“Didn’t you decide not to say that!!”
“Ah, such an excuse. But you know everything anyway, so why are you baking so sensitively?”
At those words, the goblin mask glanced at me, and the clown laughed as if he was not praying.
“Do you think he cares about you?”
A goblin mask that only exclaims as if it’s unpleasant, but doesn’t respond at all.
I took notes in my mind indifferently.
[Goblin Mask = Paladin.]
Anyway, the meeting continued after that.
The goblin’s next turn was the fox sitting next to him.
“Next month, Double Numbers will be on the Sky Auction House.”
double number.
In other words, the numbered items numbered 11 to 99 are auctioned off.
But was the clown’s words of keeping the rules valid?
As the information was spit out, there was no conversation, but the air became heavy.
As if they looked at each other like competitors.
‘Huh, I have to break through the Auction House as soon as possible.’
The Sky Auction House is located in Karnon, the capital city.
And in order to enter the Imperial Karnon, you have to gain more fame or increase your explorer rank to accumulate achievements.
It should take at least a year.
‘I don’t even have the money to buy Double Numbers in the first place. This time I have to give up.’
I neatly put aside my regrets.
I don’t know exactly what the item is, and if I have that much money anyway, it would be right to start with the ‘Garpas necklace’ obtained from the Count’s banquet.
“The royal family is making plans to subdue Noark.”
After the fox, the antlers gave information, and the green light came on. I heard that a subjugation army would be formed, and what Baekho Lee said was true.
As advised, don’t even go there.
Next was the turn of the crescent moon.
“Things believed to be equipment of the Dragon Slayer, one of the members of Orculis, have appeared on the black market. Although it is said that there was no dragon killing sword, there must be something wrong with him.”
This time, the green light came on at once.
I barely kept my composure in the posture with my chin clenched.
You’re on the black market?
I only stole one dragon sword?
I was confused at first, but the situation quickly formed in my mind.
‘It would be correct to believe that what Baekho said was true.’
The dragon killer lost his memory.

Maybe because of that drug then.
It must have been the person who gave the drug to the person who collected the remaining equipment and sold it on the black market.
‘Now it’s finally the clown’s turn.’
Turning clockwise from the goblin, the order of the clown came. Expectations were transmitted from the gathered gaze as much as the ground rice was laid in front.
“Hmm, sir, would you like to go first?”
“You look pretty confident.”
“sure. If you talk about boring things that everyone knows here, the investigator may not come next time, right?”
I smiled and shook my head.
I don’t intend to fit in with a prank, it just means to do it in the original order.
“Well, then what can I do? It might be more enjoyable to tell the story Mr.
The clown shrugged in disdain.
And bizarrely, he bent his body, stretched it, and threw it.
“In three years, a bonding magic that can hold up to six people will be created.”
Silence followed the words spoken in a playful voice.
And everyone shifted their gaze to the center of the round table.
“It’s a green light… … .”
The clown’s words are the truth.
No, it meant at least that the clown believed it to be true.
“Crazy, that would be possible.”
“No guild, no royal family, no clan… … . Everything will change.”
The tacit rules mentioned by the clown and whatever, the members vomit their astonishment.
That’s normal.
This means that starting with the basic team formation, the explorer’s range of activities has become much wider… … .
‘Can six people fit in the last floor?’
This means that the chance of clearing the game has increased several times.
Five and six are completely different.
Whether it is 10x mode or 100x mode, it means that combinations and synergies that were not possible in existing games are possible.
However, in it, the clown stared only at me.
The reaction of other members seems to be good.
“Well, how are you?”
Eyes hidden in a small hole met me.
The emotions in it were very clear.
‘This is not a child who wants to be praised.’
I smiled and opened my mouth.
To be honest in a line that does not harm the concept quality.
“This is kind of interesting.”
Earn one compliment sticker.
***
There is a saying that praise makes even whales dance.
Well, if you get hit by hundreds of whips, you’ll have to dance… … .
There is a huge gap in efficiency.
It is the future that truly makes people passionate.
It’s the reward I’ve been longing for.
“Hmm, now it’s the investigator’s turn, isn’t it?”
The clown who received the praise sticker awkwardly avoided his gaze and turned away.
Then, as if waiting, the gaze gathered at me.
Thanks to the clown detonating a bomb in front of them, everyone’s eyes are bright.
‘… … I’m worried.’
In fact, we have prepared a few things in advance for the information to be solved here today.
However… … .
‘The quality of information has gone up too much.’

Maybe it’s thanks to the words I left last time, it feels like everyone is pulling out the bottom line.
In the case of the clown, he made a plan.
Any information about the 6-person bond magic?
A result that would not have been obtained if the concept of mysticism had not been grasped.
‘Huh, it’s a good thing… … .’
Novel from https://noblemtl.com
More burdensome.
What do I have to tell you?
Of course, it is not that there is no information to satisfy the expectations that have risen to the sky… … .
‘If other people knew about this, it would affect me too.’
The problem is choosing information that is useless even if you know it like a van daemon.
Besides, it must be kind of strange to bring up the labyrinth while everyone is talking outside.
‘Well, that would be the best.’
Soon after, I made a decision after calculating the wavelength that this information would bring.
and… … .
“I was curious about the oracle earlier.”
He looks at the clown and says.
Well, since you made me happy, I think I’ll reward you.
“I’m going to tell you why—”
The words of the clown who misunderstood my intentions were cut with a single knife and recited.
“It was an oracle with holy relics.”
“Yes?”
“A new holy thing has appeared in the world as an oracle given by the Star Goddess.”
The clown, who had been dazed for a moment as if he had heard something he couldn’t hear, came to his senses. Then, looking at the green lighted jewel, he asked carefully.
“… … Can you hear what kind of relic it is?”
Contrary to her usual playful tone, her voice was cold and subdued.
‘Yeah, it’s important to you what a holy relic is. Not who got the trust.’
I replied with a happy smile.
“If you bring something fun again.”
“Fishset, I’m glad you’re here again.”
Soon the clown laughed lightly as usual.
But I could feel it.
I’m sure you’ll hear more interesting information the next time you come.
I can’t even imagine what that would be… … ..
“Don’t expect it.”
When that time comes, I will probably say:
Said it was a joke
