Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 198

198 episode master key (3)

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Master.

The person who created the private chat room called Watcher of the Round Table. When he disappeared without a trace, the members all made a sound of the wind blowing away.

“Huh, you really are gone.”

“… … It felt different from leaving the chat room.”

“Yeah, it’s like logging out… … .”

Their voices were filled with only doubts.

Well, I don’t think my feelings are much different.

“I had to go back to my room to log out, didn’t I?”

“More than that, after listening to what you said, it seemed more like being thrown out.”

The case is different from Baekho Lee in many ways.

She took the ‘initial pill’ from the beginning, so the time limit was 1 hour.

On the other hand, what about the master?

A person who used to be fine has a problem.

It’s not about reality, but about using the community called ‘Ghostbusters’.

But would you have the same thoughts as me?

“What the hell is the Master going through… … .”

“Fisit, I don’t know what it is, but one thing is for sure.”

“Are you sure?”

The clown lowered his voice at the fox’s question.

“The thing that disappeared without a word for a year was that it had something to do with GM.”

For a moment there was silence.

It’s not because it’s shocking, but it’s just the silence that comes from thinking about each other.

The atmosphere was generally in agreement with his speculation.

“Well, it’s probably the most likely.”

“But there is a contradiction. If Master is really sanctioned by the GM, how can he show up here again?”

“He is such a mysterious person. It’s a space made with magic, so maybe you’ve found an answer with magic?”

“Hey, that means he could be a better wizard than the GM who created this community! Our Master.”

“It’s a very possible story. Fishet.”

Since then, the members exchanged all kinds of speculations, and the content was quite interesting, so I just listened quietly.

Of course, that time didn’t last long.

“… … Hey, sir, do you know anything?”

Soon, attention naturally drew attention to me.

It was natural.

Wasn’t it me who pretended to be Lee Baek-ho and did inspiration and other things in front of them?

I thought I might know something.

However… … .

“Well.”

Do you have a clue that it’s me?

I am curious about his identity as well.

Of course, I have no intention of saying that.

ugh, out of shape.

“Yes, it is. Also, Mr. Investigator… … .”

It is not appropriate to say that ‘the investigator’ does not know.

I’d rather not know if it feels like this.

“There is something to be said for sticking around.”

I cut off the fox’s words and uttered a short mutter.

Then, the tone of the fox’s voice, which had shown a sign of disappointment, rose sharply.

“What? That’s it, really! No, this isn’t suspicious of Mr. investigator… … .”

The fox’s pupil, which was revealed through a gap in the distance, was full of anticipation.

By the way, this is the same for all other masks.

‘… … In fact, there’s nothing to point out.’

The conscience of the modern man who still remained twitched, but he tried to ignore it and cut off the fox’s words again.

“Oh, come on, let me know. What the hell happened to Master—”

“stop.”

“… … to?”

Of course, I thought I would tell you, the fox looking at me with blank eyes.

But there was no need for an explanation.

Just a slight shrug was enough.

Now, no one here knows the meaning of this gesture.

“I mean, bring something fun. Fish seat.”

If there is anything I want, I have to bring it with me.

That is the iron rule established by the ‘Investigator’ at the round table.

So, what kind of answer will the ‘fox’ give?

“… … like.”

It was as expected.

Because it was the ‘Fox’ who showed an obsession with the master’s current status and things like that.

“Still, I must be a little low in hurdles, right? It’s not certain, but it’s just a guess… … .”

I didn’t bother to answer, and the fox let out a deep sigh.

After the clown who bit the rice cake called ‘Holy Sacred’ and the crescent moon that turned his eyes to the ‘Stone of Resuscitation’, he didn’t even know that he would be in this situation.

“I feel like my comrades have increased somehow. In the future, both the foxes will have a hard time.”

At the words of consolation from the crescent moon, the fox smiled bitterly as if resigning.

This means that the quality of information will increase further in the future.

‘Are all that’s left are antlers and goblins… … .’

I left my satisfied heart behind and opened my mouth indifferently.

“It’s boring.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t this enough for chatting?”

“Yeah, we’re starting the meeting soon.”

Now that the rice cakes are enough, it’s time to harvest.

***

Following the 3rd session where no one was present, the 4th meeting is now underway.

It started with a goblin.

“We are looking for a way to break through Noark’s barrier by putting our heads together in the tower.”

When I first said that, everyone was wondering if he was saying something natural, but everyone was convinced by the goblin’s extra explanation.

“For reference, it seems that a certain amount of divine power is required in the process, and at least the time it takes for the barrier to be lifted can be reduced.”

“I think it means that some research has been done.”

“Yes, it is.”

In summary, the magic shield that protects Noark could be removed quickly.

Well, in reality, I don’t know what it’s like.

‘Raven said it would take two years… … .’

After that, the goblin’s turn ended with the words that the horse tower had set the goal of reducing it by six months.

Next is deer antlers.

“The royal family has created a new type of dog tag. A magic tool in the form of an engraving that cannot be forged. Preparations have been around for a long time, but next week, supply to explorers will begin.”

“From next week… … . Isn’t that too helpful? It’s not the kind of information that can be profited in advance.”

“Then one more thing. We are keeping an eye on the clans who have stopped exploring to save themselves from the royal family.”

“What exactly do you mean by watching?”

“Looking at the atmosphere, I don’t know, but it seems that there will be a significant disadvantage in some way.

“… … okay.”

It looked like he didn’t want to show off, but the fox seemed to be relieved when he heard the information about the antlers.

So I kept that reaction in my head.

‘Fox, it’s highly likely that he belongs to a clan. You’re not a general member, are you sure you’re a clan master?’

Of course, it’s still just a guess, so I listened to what’s next.

This time it was the fox’s turn.

“We are preparing a large-scale boycott between large clans.”

“What if it was a boycott?”

“What? Do not enter the labyrinth as a group. Still, there are a lot of complaints about the last subjugation war, but there has been a case of starting a fire recently.”

“Ah, that’s it. I know what it is.”

He embraced it as if the crescent moon was a story he knew.

“Bjorn Jandel, right?”

huh?

Why is my name here?

“yes. Right. We ended up with a fine and expelled a decent explorer to Bifron.”

Ah, that… … .

“Enforcement is your domain, but most clans interpreted this as a warning to us.”

“I don’t think public opinion will be good.”

“yes. There are even rumors that if I step back from here, I might be forcibly conscripted next time.”

The moment my name was mentioned, my hands were stiff and my lips were dry, but fortunately no one seemed to notice my reaction.

No one seemed interested in Bjorn Yandel.

‘Huh, I really thought the liver was falling off.’

Anyway, the third turn ended as the fox gave some additional answers to the antler’s question.

“Now, who will do it next? Continue clockwise?”

“… … Clown, can I start with you?’

“Well, if you want.”

At the crescent’s request, the clown took the fourth order without saying a word.

The order of the ones I was most looking forward to.

But couldn’t we find ‘interesting’ information this time?

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s something that Sasa would be interested in, but I’ll try it anyway.”

Unlike when talking about bonding magic, the clown opened his mouth as if he was just passing the turn.

“We sent a few people up to the ground right before the lockdown at Noark. The goal is to kill one explorer! Are you surprised?”

“You’re an assassin… … . Do you know who the target is?”

“I do not know? Until then, I don’t even know, Fisht!”

Finally, the fourth sequence ends with a smile that is hard to recognize the true meaning.

The clown didn’t even ask if it was fun.

How would you know from his point of view? This is the most interesting thing I’ve heard today.

‘An assassin sent from Noark… … .’

Someone came to mind as soon as I heard it.

Amelia Rainwales.

Could it be that he was one of the assassins that he sent up?

Looking at his abilities, I think he’d be perfect.

‘Then the goal to kill is Auril Gavis?’

I suddenly thought about it, but somehow it didn’t seem like it.

It didn’t sound like a lie to say I was looking for it personally.

Anyway, I’m going to think about this one by one.

“Now it’s my turn.”

The long-awaited fifth order has begun.

The protagonist of this turn is the crescent moon who desperately wishes for a ‘resurrection stone’. He seemed quite confident when he asked if the promise was valid.

What have you been preparing for?

“Do you all remember when I talked about the traces of ‘Holy Reapers’?”

“Of course.”

As the crescent moon slowly lifted its luck, the rest of the masks nodded their heads.

Exactly except for goblins.

“Yes? Are you a relic stealer?”

The goblin, who had not attended the meeting at the time, tilted his head, but no one cared.

“So what? Is this information related to the Genesis Noble Phantasm again?”

The fox spoke without hiding her curiosity, and the crescent nodded.

and… … .

“The Genesis Noble Phantasm no longer exists.”

uttered shocking words.

***

Genesis treasure.

It is also the key to the last floor where the door of the abyss is located.

“… … If the Genesis Noble Phantasm doesn’t exist, what does that mean? I don’t understand it at all.”

“Is this reliable information? Aren’t you the only one who believes so?”

“Fisit, this is a bit of a shock.”

“Uh, uh, how could it be gone?”

Since everyone is a player who wants to return, it was enough for a brief moment before the hall was filled with chaos.

But what was the expected reaction?

Crescent Moon just continued to explain in a bitter voice.

“It would be great if I was mistaken too. But this is undoubtedly true. The Genesis Noble Phantasm does not exist anywhere in this world.”

“Damn, do you mean it was even destroyed?”

“At least that’s how we came to that conclusion.”

“Ha, but that’s an indestructible item!!”

Perhaps the shock was great, the goblin raised his voice like a whining.

And then.

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

A green light emanated from the gem embedded in the center of the round table.

Means that the above is true.

“Yeah, really… … . The Genesis Noble Phantasm may have disappeared.”

The antlers murmured in a dismayed voice, and at the end of this there was silence for a while.

It was the crescent moon that opened its mouth first.

“So how are you? Did you have fun?”

It was a very difficult question to answer.

I was trying to say it’s no joke, but… … .

‘No, how do you say no-jam here?’

It was the crescent moon that kept her gaze fixed on me the whole time I was reciting information. Surely, as soon as I heard that, I would have caught even the things that made me startled.

‘What do we do?’

After a short deliberation, I made a decision.

It is not a good choice to call it a no-jam here.

So… … .

“You have good talent.”

I’d rather admit it.

Instead, let’s reduce the damage on the other side.

“That means… … .”

The sound of the crescent moon’s breathing became harsh, thinking that the ‘Stone of Resurrection’ was approaching.

I whispered briefly.

“To be honest, I was quite impressed.”

Of course, there is a lot to lose if you admit this.

Aside from telling us about the ‘Resuscitation Stone’, the crescent moon, who got what he wants, will not be as eager to ask for information as it is now.

In addition.

It doesn’t even fit the image of the investigator I made.

The painstakingly prepared ‘Make the Investigative’ corner cleared in the first try?

Spiritual face is not a word.

However… … .

fuck.

No problem.

I am not Bjorn Jandel, but a deceased person wearing a ‘Detective’ mask.

‘Okay, I think this line will be enough.’

As soon as I finished the final check in my head.

I asked the crescent moon.

“How the hell did you find out?”

What surprised me was that the Genesis Noble Phantasm did not disappear, but as if it were a different part.

To be precise… … .

“Few people know that the Noble Phantasm has disappeared.”

I’m sorry, but it seems like you already knew about it.

“… … !”

The crescent moon’s eyes widened, noticing the nuance.

But was it difficult to notice that I was cheating?

The crescent moon didn’t even suspect it.

“… … “Yeah, I guess you knew.”

He just showed resignation in a weak, subdued voice.

If that doesn’t work, then what should I do to satisfy myself?

Such a feeling of despair is transmitted to me through the air.

It wasn’t very good for me.

“Fisher… … .”

Just look at the awkwardly smiling clown.

This will also affect all members who have eaten rice cakes.

Yes, so in that sense.

eating.

I laughed out loud and said.

“Resuscitation Stone can be obtained on the 9th floor.”

You may be able to give some incentives.

To be honest, I’m a little bit sorry.
