Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 240

240 Fire Awl (5)

A library with a soft scent of books.

“How was it there?”

The blonde haired woman, Soul Queens, answered the man’s question after thinking for a while.

“It was a very interesting place.”

It was the most appropriate expression.

A place where a corpse collector is a member, and even such a person is completely out of touch? I didn’t know there was such a chat room in the community.

However… … .

“What I’m really curious about isn’t this personal impression, is it?”

Soul Queens laughed as if teasing him, and the man did not deny it either.

Well, there’s a reason why I infiltrated her as the ‘Watcher of the Round Table’.

[Perhaps something like their gathering that the Watchers of the Round Table set up to avoid our eyes.]

A spy from the royal family.

Or a player from another world.

To check both possibilities, the man sent her there.

If so, what would be the result?

Soul Queens laughed and added.

“It seems that Love-sama’s nib was struck again this time.”

“Which way are you talking about?”

“After all, the Watcher of the Round Table seems to have been created by a player from another world.”

“You may need to listen a little more closely.”

Soul Queens slowly explained what had happened there.

An investigator with an overwhelming presence.

A clown whose identity as a corpse collector is revealed.

Deer antlers, presumed to be from the royal family, and goblins that seem more unsuitable for this place because they are ordinary.

“Um, I don’t know about fox-sama. I don’t think I’m the type of person who doesn’t speak much, but this time, I couldn’t really talk.”

Nevertheless, the fox was a woman worth paying attention to.

Sure enough, she finally asked the investigator to talk.

What if it’s some kind of ‘tangent’?

“The member called the investigator is suspected.”

“Yeah, if there’s a player from another world mixed in with them, there’s nothing other than that guy.”

Afterwards, the man asked the reason, and Soul Queens answered without hesitation.

“Just living a corpse collector took him to the brink of mental contamination. Seeing that he was living at his limit, it seemed like he had a lot of spare time.”

This alone is clear.

This is impossible with the normal human mind.

If it was a player from another dimension who fell into this world a hundred years ago and survived.

Even, this is not the only reason.

On the second wheel, the investigator said.

[Ghostbusters were created by an evil spirit from another world.]

When he said that GM was not the one who created the community, he brought out information that only a few knew as a joke.

As if they knew the identity of this place.

Then she was sure.

[Yeah, it was like that too.]

This man, who looked dangerous nonetheless, is not a simple player either.

“By the way, he said he knew the corpse collector’s information from the start, didn’t he?”

“Yeah, by the way, the members were expecting the investigator to know their identity.”

“… That’s award-winning.”

Security within the community is absolute.

Even the one who took over the administrator rights and created the present Ghost Busters, it is impossible to find out their identities.

“How do you think he would have known them?”

“Well, if you really knew, there are two possibilities.”

In response to Soul Queens’ question, the man presented a total of two cases.

“However, if the investigator is equivalent to the archmage of another world who created this subspace, or has such an existence as a companion. And the second… … .”

“Second, if the investigator is on the same team with the one who created the Watcher of the Round Table, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. First of all, all the members now are collected by the ‘master’, so it would be natural to know if you received the nomination.”

“But then it makes no sense to know who I am.”

“Isn’t that certain yet? Try throwing the bait next time. Whether that man really knows the identity of Soul Queens or not.”

“Okay.”

“Anyway, then information about the Master becomes important. Did you find out anything?”

“I haven’t met the Master yet. However, I was able to hear from Goblin-sama after the meeting that I had visited this place on the day when there was a strange connection record.”

“Then it means that the person who sneaked into the community that day was nicknamed ‘0720’.”

“It will probably be like that. I wanted to find out more, but it seems that Goblin-sama is still wary of me… … .”

After that, the two talked for about an hour.

It wasn’t just the story of ‘Watcher of the Round Table’.

incident this time.

Too many players died.

What would be the most efficient way to increase the number of new members in the future?

and… … .

“What are you going to do with Lee Baek-ho? You’re running around the tower to find Love. Right now, Love-sama is only one of the many suspects, but I think it will be difficult to hide her identity forever… … .”

Even the most troubling events of recent times.

“Baekho is still thinking about it. First of all, it seems that the situation has become hostile to the royal family, but… I have to be careful. It could be a trap.”

“Yes, I will leave that part to Love.”

It was the car we were talking about.

“Elfnunna, how did the investigation into that person go?”

“I think it will take a little while to recover because all the posts have been deleted. Still, there were quite a few GPs.”

“Did you get it from Baekho?”

“No, I made almost all of it on the first day. Selling some advanced information.”

He further explained that Soul Queens was information that could be known if he had played the game to some extent, and that it would take some time to recover since all his posts and comments were deleted.

“Hmm, that’s right… … .”

The man tapped the armrest with his index finger as if to organize his thoughts.

There was one reason why he kicked ‘Elf Nunna’.

Because we judged that there is a possibility that ‘Bjorn Yandel’ and ‘Elf Nunna’ are the same person.

Bjorn Yandel.

A barbarian who showed an unprecedented growth rate.

He unusually chose a shield for his coming-of-age ceremony.

elf noona.

GP was easily obtained by selling in-game information within the community.

Also, Lee Baek-ho is a ‘Korean’ following his older brother.

This was very important to the man.

If the two are the same person, there is a possibility that he is the long-awaited ‘He’—.

‘… Wait a minute.’

The thought suddenly crossed his mind, and the man slowly opened his mouth.

“Soul Queens.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“Did I say that the monk was Asian?”

“Yeah, even with a mask, you can’t hide the color of your skin.”

As it is a Western game, the proportion of Asian players among players is very small.

You can tell just by looking at Lee Baek-ho.

He opened a chat room waiting for a Korean, but it took years to meet a trending person.

And the person in the east is ‘Elfnunna’.

It was he who was suspected of being the same person as ‘Bjorn Yandel’.

“The one thing the investigator definitely mentioned is the identity of the clown, right?”

The man straightened his posture and asked.

“Uh, this is my first visit, so I’m sure it was, but I think it was because of the atmosphere.”

“I mean… … .”

The man curled his tail and fell into thought.

That’s right, ‘Bjorn Jandel’ fought the ‘corpse collector’ most recently.

Is this really just a coincidence?

Of course, it was still only an absurd leap because we couldn’t find out if it was the same person as ‘Elf Nunna’.

But, that’s why.

“When is the conferment of Bjorn Jandel?”

“I remember it was three days later.”

“Three days later… … .”

Soon the man made a decision.

“I’m going out after a long time.”

Let’s meet in person after thinking about it for a hundred days.

***

“Hey, wake up, get up! Wake up!”

The next morning after visiting the community.

I woke up with a smash on Misha’s back.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written, so I was really tired, but I thought I’d get better… … .

“What did you do yesterday, so you’re stinking like this this morning!”

After going to the community, it is better to wake up on time, even if it is too much.

If anyone knows about this place, even my oversleeping on this day may look suspicious.

Now, more and more people are looking at me.

‘I thought the damn assassin would come too… … .’

Yesterday, I was exhausted and just collapsed, but I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep well at night.

Ha, that’s really annoying.

‘Why is everyone so anxious because they can’t eat me?’

In my current state, I wouldn’t be able to fight like I usually do. I sighed, but I quickly washed my face and went down to the first floor to eat together.

It was a bit of an unfamiliar sight.

That’s because there’s one more new person added to the usual breakfast.

“Hey, are you awake?”

“Then get up. Don’t stand haphazardly, sit down. The food will be cold.”

“Yes Yes!”

Erwen sits at the table with a nervous expression and eats a snack.

“… … .”

Unusually awkward silence begins to drift over the table. Fortunately, Misha, who felt the air, opened her mouth vigorously first.

“So how are you? What about my food?”

“Oh, it’s delicious… thank you… … .”

“If you want something to eat, just tell me. I’ll do it later in the evening. Oh, and if there are ingredients you can’t eat, I’ll let you know later.”

As always, Missha takes care of even the smallest details first.

“carrot! I can’t eat carrots!”

Ainar wanted to do this at this time, and then hugged him and slapped him on the back.

After that, would that be it?

I tried ten times, but all failed.

We only eat meat every day, so should we take care of these things properly?

‘I’m grateful for my heart… … .’

Zep, a barbarian must have a barbarian life.

“Come on, I’ll do the dishes!”

After the meal, Ainar went out as usual and left for the Holy Land, and the rest of the three had time together.

The atmosphere wasn’t as bad as I thought.

Should I say that it feels like the sequence is completely finished?

“Erwen, come here and sit down. We should talk too.”

“Yes Yes!”

“It might be a little early to ask this, but what are you going to do next? First of all, our team is already full.”

“that… … .”

Erwen wiggles his tail and looks at me.

Can we talk about the clan?

Well, there’s no reason not to… … .

I didn’t have the energy left to talk for a long time, so I just skimmed it.

“It’s too early, Misha. After all, we don’t know if we’ll be able to enter the labyrinth next month.”

“that… It is not.”

To be honest, it is wise to stop exploring the labyrinth for a while unless this situation is over.

I don’t have any financial problems right now.

‘… The most annoying part is that cities aren’t safe.’

dragon killer.

corpse collector.

The assassin of Noark.

Even the actions of the royal family, whose secret is unknown.

There are so many reasons to get stronger as soon as possible.

However… … .

‘Still, it would be better to watch the trend at least until it calms down a bit.’

I tried to erase the impatience.

Isn’t there a saying that the faster you go, the faster you go?

‘I’ll have to meet Raven later and have a proper conversation about this part.’

Anyway, after that, the three of us ate refreshments and talked about various things.

At first, Erwen was uncomfortable with a deadly expression on her face, but when Misha treated her kindly, she unexpectedly recovered quickly.

‘But, before coming to my house, it seems that you have finished organizing your mind for your sister to some extent.’

Thanks to you, I have eased the burden even more.

In the future, he will have no choice but to carry a heavy burden, but Erwen stood up on his own.

So, obviously, we can go further.

“yes? Do you have a brother?”

“Yes, I am still young and living in the Holy Land. Later when I become an adult… I’ll have to take care of it somehow. Just like my sister did to me… … .”

“Nyaha, don’t worry too much. Don’t you still have a lot left? Then you will be much more relaxed.”

“Is that so… … ?”

Erwen and Misha were having a surprisingly warm conversation. However, Erwen suddenly bowed his head.

“Hey, didn’t you apologize properly then? I’m sorry, I guess I was like my brain back then… … .”

“… what are apples I’m done. I’d rather have something better because of it.”

I tilted my head.

is that then?

Did the two of you ever meet and apologize?

“Yeah, but you’re fine… … ?”

“What’s wrong with that? My thoughts have changed a bit since then… In the first place, I didn’t deserve that.”

Saying that, Misha sheds tears at me.

I felt chills for some reason.

That was then.

smart.

A knock was heard from beyond the front door.

“I’m leaving.”

I got up quickly and went to the door.

Normally, I would have opened the door right away, but yesterday I heard information that an assassin might be coming.

First of all, I asked who it was.

“My name is Raymon Keplo, a regular knight of the 2nd Royal Knights.”

A knight who reveals his identity in a polite tone, probably because he is going to receive the title of baron.

When I checked it through my ophthalmoscope, the armor was in good shape and other knights were rushing in behind me.

‘I don’t think this is a lie.’

I opened the door because there was a straw part.

And while they were face to face, they confirmed the purpose of their visit.

It was good news after a long time.

“The orders have come from the top.”

“What if it’s an instruction?”

“This is an order to protect Yandel-sama from any unfaithful people who may be there.”

Yes, the deer antlers are moving.
