Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 245

245 Fire Junction (5)

Ghost Master.

An administrator who has the authority to operate the community, and is considered a legendary figure among players.

“You are right too. GM.”

For a moment, I am short of breath and suffocating.

‘Hans I is GM… … ?’

Confusing.

If that’s true, then why did a giant as big as a GM approach me in secret?

You’re famous these days, so you just want to see your face?

‘No, I can’t.’

The GM suspected me of being a ‘player’.

So, during the banquet, he approached me and tried to mock me, and that was not enough, so I followed him.

Again, this is a more plausible hypothesis.

Even if it’s not very pleasing to me.

‘Then he must have written that blast magic as well.’

When a hypothesis is established, the question is naturally solved.

You must have wondered if I was still alive as the carriage exploded and smoke bombs exploded, obscuring my view while following me.

‘I’ll think about this more later.’

I return to the most important topic.

A man who falls from the sky and calls Hans I the GM, and spreads a force that makes even the knights tremble.

What is this man’s true identity—

“Quickly release Ben. Otherwise, you’re really missing out here.”

… … huh?

‘Release Ben?’

I had goosebumps on my back without realizing it.

It was a simple reason.

Because there’s only one person I know who would make such a request to GM.

proud korea

‘Lee Baek-ho.’

Of course, there must be a possibility that it is not.

Where did one or two GM hit Ben?

It is deserving of coming to visit with a grudge and swearing like that.

However… … .

“Hey, can’t you hear me?”

For some reason, I keep seeing Baekho’s face.

‘… … Is it really him?’

With that thought in mind, first of all, I engraved the impression of that guy once more on my head.

‘He’s about 170 cm tall.’

He is dressed in a neat suit with no equipment, and unless he is disguised, his race is human.

The skin color is white, and there are no visible scars.

Her hair is platinum blonde with a pomade style.

Although he has handsome features to anyone looking at it, perhaps because of his unique eyes, he exudes an atmosphere closer to a villain than a nobleman—

“Mr. Yandel.”

As I was observing him, a knight came up to me and whispered.

“You must never run away.”

“… … What do you mean?”

“It’s not like that’s possible.”

A voice with a strong expression of tension.

Maybe he knows who he is?

“Who is that man?”

I hurriedly raised my doubts.

and… … .

“The author is—”

Just when the article was about to answer.

“Oh, were you there too?”

His gaze shifts to us.

Ha, I said it at the level of a real whisper, did you hear that on the street?

“Bjorn Jandel.”

Seeing me spell out my name correctly, he seemed to know who I was.

Wouldn’t it be just that you didn’t know that much?

“You said you slaughtered two of them this time? And that’s only in one year.”

The guy holding Hans I’s hair tightly, looks at me and shows his curiosity.

It was as if he found something interesting by chance.

“I’m really, really, just wondering… … .”

Soon he asked me.

“Are you a player?”

Ha, somehow, from the moment they knew my name, I felt a bit uneasy.

This kind of premonition never goes wrong.

There was only one answer I could give.

“… … He was a demon.”

It’s not about being ignorant of what you’re talking about, it’s about drawing a line by calling your opponent a ‘evil spirit’.

It doesn’t matter if this guy is Lee Baek-ho or not.

Man, there are so many people watching, what else would you say?

“Hmm, that’s weird. Even if you made a name for yourself, I don’t think the GM would be interested in it.”

He said, ‘Unless you’re a player… … .’ He muttered quietly and closed his eyes.

and… … .

“hey.”

His mouth was smiling, but he spoke in a voice that didn’t show any emotion.

“Answer only yes or no.”

“Don’t answer… Cuckoo!”

The knight who was giving me some advice was hit in the stomach by something invisible and flew away.

It was obvious without even asking who did it.

“Ah, do you care because there are so many people? don’t worry. If you’re a player, I’ll kill them all to get rid of them. Cancer, I can answer my questions, but you can provide that much service.”

He grinned and forced me to choose again.

“Right, no.”

I could barely stand the answer that it was not.

Because the question itself was dubious.

Asking the same question with only yes and no answers? It’s as if he has the ability to discern the truth.

‘Actually, there is such an essence.’

Since there is no information, it would be wise to be careful about everything.

“If you don’t like it, just say no. Can I just say one word? I am really curious.”

The more he became obsessed with the ‘answer’, the more his doubts grew.

So I have only one choice.

“The question is from me.”

Instead of just being silent, they change the subject.

With a nuance as if he did not want to hand over the initiative of the conversation to the enemy.

“Evil spirit, are you also with the assassin?”

He throws words like a barbarian who doesn’t know what a GM is.

Whether it’s a knight or this guy, my silence will leave a question mark for both.

Of course, this guy wasn’t that easy either.

“You would have told me to answer only yes or no?”

The moment he speaks, weight is added to the air.

A body that hardened as if it had met a natural enemy.

‘I hope to live… … ?’

I don’t understand at all.

Is it really possible to spit out this concentration of life outside the community and not inside the community?

I do not know.

There’s only one thing for sure right now.

“Hey, are you okay?”

He is like a tyrant.

Such a tyrant who is capricious and can achieve whatever he wants regardless of time or place.

“Aren’t you going to answer me soon?”

hair turns white

Was the clown at the round table feeling like this?

Breathing stops and the eyes become cloudy as if the blood vessels to the brain are blocked.

I suddenly had a thought.

‘… … What if I answered yes?’

Even though he knew it was a vain hope that dwells in his weak mind, he could not stop.

‘If he really is Lee Baek-ho… … Can’t we just reveal our identity?’

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Maybe that will help me.

First of all, aren’t we from the same Korean?

If the image shown in the community is his real personality, he might treat him like a real hyung.

‘Yeah, maybe… … .”

Depending on my answer, there may be a future in which Lee Baek-ho will be hard on him, build up his strength, and someday the two of them will escape from this world together.

But, the moment I thought of such a future.

“… … Bjorn!”

For a moment, my mind was blown.

There were several reasons.

First off, I’m still not sure if it’s Lee Baek-ho.

Also, the moment I reveal my identity, hundreds of civilians here will be turned into speechless corpses.

No, to be precise… … .

“Misha?”

When I check the direction of the sound, I see Misha running away.

After all, this place was close to home.

As soon as I heard the noise, I must have come to you just in case.

However, the situation is not good.

“Oh, your girlfriend?”

The man looked at Misha and grinned.

A face as if he had a good weakness.

The feeling of pressure that had temporarily cramped my body disappeared, and my body was able to move freely.

therefore… … .

Tadat.

It immediately flies away and blocks Misha in front.

An act to protect Misha from a surprise attack.

“Certainly, the Red Cats are cute.”

He nodded as if he understood.

and asked again.

“Answer yes or no.”

For some reason, towards Misha, not me.

“Emperor, are you a player?”

“Yes? Whoa, Freya?”

“Are you a demon?”

“Ah, ah, no… … ?”

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Misha, who suddenly received the word, answered in a panic, and he nodded.

“It is true.”

“I have nothing to answer. Misha, come back to me.”

I quickly hid Misha behind my back.

Seeing my actions like that, he grinned.

“Ha, looking at the NPCs, it doesn’t seem like a player… … . I mean, something’s weird. Why don’t you answer me?”

A cold sweat is dripping from my back.

If you answer, you will find out that it is a lie.

If you don’t answer, the situation looks suspicious as it is.

“Is there any reason to do what the enemy wants?”

For once, he thoroughly avoided an answer by attaching a barbarian reason.

“Oh, that’s right.”

He nodded his head as if convinced, and asked playfully.

“But you really want to be my enemy?”

Ha, you can open your eyes once and for all.

Does this mean that the mouth is smiling and the eyes are not?

“If you don’t answer, will you kill the enemy?”

Soon after, the guy threw a slingshot.

As soon as I heard it, I knew it wasn’t just a threat.

‘Shit.’

What should I do?

I try hard, but I can’t come up with an appropriate answer.

That was the moment.

[…] … Mr. Baekho.]

“ok?”

[see you next time.]

A light burst out of Hans I’s body, who had been drawing only the eyeballs while being grabbed by the neck the whole time.

***

“Hey, shit like that… … .”

Lee Baek-ho spit out insults and got up.

A spacious farm with a fresh fruity scent.

It didn’t take long to recognize where he had fallen.

There is only one place like this farmhouse.

The 6th district of Lafdonia, the Gnomes tree.

“Oh, that’s really annoying. That bastard would never come out of the tower first… … .”

Lee Baek-ho meekly admitted that he had missed him.

Anyway, if I ran right now, there would be no one left there.

It was clearly a mistake in his judgment.

As a wizard, he was wary of escaping using teleport. That’s why I grabbed the branch so that I couldn’t even sing.

But, is it a silent teleport?

Isn’t that also aimed at yourself?

“Yeah, that’s it, too, isn’t it?”

What would have happened if he hadn’t underestimated his opponent, and although he regretted it a little, he quickly brushed it off.

Isn’t that what happened already?

Regret about the past is not with him.

It was not that there was no income at all.

I found out that the bastard was a GM.

‘What’s left is time, so we’ll just have to bump into each other a little more.’

Lee Baek-ho scratched his head and then turned his attention elsewhere.

“In the end, I didn’t get an answer until the end.”

Bjorn Yandel.

A barbarian I met by chance while chasing a GM.

“… … What is it?”

Baekho Lee stopped thinking about whether the barbarian was a player or not.

It’s more likely not to be the case, and… … .

His interest in the barbarian had already waned.

Even if he was a real player now, he didn’t seem to be particularly interested.

I’m happy with this world, and NPCs and suckers don’t help with their plans.

dump.

Soon Lee Baek-ho lay casually on the floor.

Then, using the [Space Interference] skill, he picked a grape hanging from a tree and put it in his mouth.

“Okay, grapes are natural.”

The air is fresh and there are many delicious things.

Anyway, GM won’t come out because he’s stuck in the tower for a while.

‘It’s cumbersome to go to Bifron.’

It seemed like it would be fine to stay here for a while.

***

Two days have passed since that happened.

To the conferment of titles, to the assassin, to the GM, and to Lee Baek-ho.

A lot of things happened in one day, and the last two days were a time for rearranging.

Let’s start with ‘Assassin’… … .

[They will be taken by us for interrogation.]

The captured assassins were escorted to Mozlan.

Did you hear from the driver today that you were asked by someone whose identity was unknown?

By the way, it is said that the explosive that killed the three knights was also given to him by that ‘someone’… … .

[It is said that the command they received was to kill Yandel and take the essence that was given to them.]

There were quite a few suspicious things.

Jung Soo-ah, I think so.

The box containing the test tube must have been so hard.

It was quite possible to kill me and take me by surprise.

However… … .

[What if I ate before then?]

[We didn’t understand that either.]

It is said that the contractor even put a large bounty on my neck.

It meant that the essence was only an excuse.

Or there’s no reason to bet money on killing me.

So Mozlan assumed that the contractor was Noark.

At least until yesterday.

[…] … Then it is highly likely to be one of the large clans, right?]

Novel from https://noblemtl.com

Mozlan concluded that the culprit was one of the larger clans. If it was on the Noark side, would you have sent more reliable guys?

It is said that this kind of ‘request’ is not suitable.

Above all, they had enough motivation.

[Yes. It must have been the intention to harm Yandel-sama and then put it on the side of our royal family. In fact, that night, in some taverns, such craftsmanship was found several times.]

It was a reasonable guess, but there were doubts.

So what did the clown say?

Did you get this information beforehand and say that?

‘Well, I said that the assassin was going too. I didn’t say they were sent by Noark… … .’

They may not have thought that there was no harm in telling them in advance, as they weren’t the assassins they sent anyway.

‘… … No, maybe the real thing hasn’t come yet?’

For some reason, there is a sense of wonder

Whoops, why do I have to live in a city trembling like this?

Anyway, the assassin is over and then.

‘GM.’

As a result, GM was not Hans I.

[The Hans Ifreia I saw that day must have been someone disguised.]

When they attacked the house, the real Hans Ifreia had passed out.

I did some magic research just in case, but the real Hans I didn’t even have a handful of magic talent.

Simply put, it means that someone borrowed his identity.

‘Jeep.’

That’s the part I can’t help but regret.

I was wondering if this could have revealed the identity of the GM.

‘It’s not that I didn’t have any income though.’

Few are comforting

First of all, I found out that the GM side was suspicious of me as a player.

At least you have had time to prepare.

‘The suspicion must have deepened since you saw me not answering. Probably when the next community opens, there is a high chance.’

Fortunately, this part makes sense.

So I made a way to deal with it.

Anyway, here it is next.

‘Lee Baek-ho.’

First off, that guy was Lee Baek-ho.

Well, that’s what the GM said at the end.

[…] … Mr. Baekho see you next time.]

In a situation where Mogaji was captured, it was said that he used magic rather than upbringing.

Well, I guess it doesn’t mean much.

[He… … . sorry. I can’t tell you with my permission.]

Later, at that time, I asked the driver who Lee Baek-ho was, but only such an answer was returned.

Is this why life is about timing?

If Lee Baek-ho hadn’t stopped talking at that time, I think he would have said it as it is.

‘I mean, he’s also dangerous… … .’

Even if we meet Lee Baek-ho again later, I think it will be difficult to be as close as we were back then.

Should I say that I found out that the inclinations are completely different?

I didn’t think that the innocent look that the community showed me would be the real thing, but it’s just too bad.

‘It was a real bummer… … .’

Anyway, Lee Baek-ho also ends here and next.

‘Misha.’

In fact, this is the part that bothers me the most and makes me choke on my breath.

“Bjorn, don’t think it’s really strange and listen?”

“… … .”

“You, where are you suddenly disappearing? That’s right… … ?”

Misha started looking at me anxiously.
