Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 360

360 episodes of interrogation (2)

Raven, who climbed the stairs to the deck, hurriedly moved to the ship’s officer’s room.

When they arrived, the deputy commander who had already sent them, as well as the platoon commanders in the corps, were all gathered.

“Vice-Captain Raven! You’re safe! Fortunately, the! However, the return was delayed, so we were trying to form a support team on our own—”

“I have to file a report, so please leave all seats.”

“… Yes? Ah yes!”

The executives gathered at Raven’s seemingly urgent order also abandoned their doubts and followed the order.

The officer’s room was emptied in just a few seconds.

“… … .”

Raven placed her hand on the military message stone placed in the cabin with a complicated face.

“Nia Lafdonia. This is Arua Raven, the deputy commander of the 3rd Magic Corps. The movement was delayed in order to secure an escape route for the troops, and now they have returned. Please share the current situation.”

[Nia Lafdonia. Eltora Tercerion, Chief of Staff of the 3rd Corps. I was worried when I heard that you went to stop the Blood Knights, but I’m glad you’re safe.]

“… Excuse me, but why did the chief of staff, not the commander of the corps, contact me? … ?”

[It is because I am the second person who takes over when the highest commander is absent during wartime.]

“absence… Are you talking?”

[The Count Ramreond is dead. He ordered all units to assemble, and while moving, he was ambushed by a group of criminals, led by the traitor Ricardo Luchenpraha.]

“I can… … .”

[After all troops retreated onto the lake, the raid stopped, but we are not sure what will happen next, so lead your troops and be vigilant until further instructions are given.]

Since then, information on the extent of damage currently identified and the enemies who carried out this attack has been shared briefly and clearly.

and… … .

[This seems to have conveyed everything you need to know. now you try Were you really a blood knight?]

In response to the boss’s question, Raven posted a summary of what had happened so far.

What remains to stop the Blood Knights.

The enemy’s reinforcements joined in while driving.

And even after killing the ‘Lighthouse Keeper’ in battle, retreating through multiple teleportation magic.

The process was really succinctly reported only the results, omitting a few words.

It wasn’t just to save time.

If that was the case, I wouldn’t have shut my mouth awkwardly at these words.

[You dealt with the lighthouse keeper… It’s really good news to hear. You did a good job. He informs Hu of the Blood Spirit that there will be a reward for the major in the future.]

The superior thought that this major was made possible by the contribution of the hyeolryonghu, but the reality is completely different.

Lichen Suits.

It was thanks to that man that no one was harmed by the infamous Blood Knight, and he was the one who killed the lighthouse keeper in the end.

However… … .

[Then I’ll cut it off.]

Raven didn’t say that until the end.

No, where is that?

‘Amelia Rainwales.’

He didn’t even say anything about the woman who was as active as after the blood spirit during the battle. Even though it was clear that it was the woman from Noark whom I met on Farune Island at that time.

I intentionally hid the information.

Even if he didn’t lie, it was a fact that he had neglected his duty as a soldier.

“ha… … .”

She felt deep remorse for having always faithfully played her role.

but what to do

First of all, I needed time to organize my thoughts.

‘Lichen Suits… … .’

A man who introduced himself by that name.

Until before, she had thought that the man had Erwen looking for someone who looked like him and carried him around.

But when I saw [The Giant Painting], I thought it might be something.

If it wasn’t for someone who looked alike.

If that was the reason why Erwen called him ‘Uncle’.

Really, in fact, if that person was still alive.

“… … I don’t know.”

Confusing.

It’s hard to be sure of anything.

I want to be that person, but I also want to know if it is just someone who has many similarities.

Obviously there were a lot of different things.

‘Height and face.’

and.

[you… De, de, etc… … !]

When he unconsciously stretched out his hand for the wound, the blood he touched was hot and sticky.

If it was that person’s blood, it should have sting.

Also, there is another difference.

‘… Too strong.’

A body that blocks the blood knight’s aura.

A unique ability to deflect magic.

In addition to the ability to draw enemies with the wind.

If it was the old Yandel, it would not have been possible to show such dignity against such powerful enemies.

However… … .

‘Because time has passed.’

It is possible that he ate the new Essence and became stronger.

Even Erwen, a member of the Seven Rivers, and myself, have changed a lot in the past two years.

‘then… … .’

The more he sorted out a lot of information that was injected in a short period of time, the more Raven found himself inclined to think that Bjorn Yandel was alive.

The decisive factor was the presence of Amelia.

In the end, nothing was revealed, but it is true that there were still unconvincing questions about the person’s death.

But, is the person who went missing with him still alive?

This suggests that the person is probably still alive, but it doesn’t matter.

However, the problem is… … .

‘If it’s really Mr. Yandel, then what should I do?’

Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.

The royal family had already made such an official announcement, and she knew it even before it was published.

That’s because I saw that expression.

[Mr. Yandel said there would be a rumor that he was an evil spirit, but that… Isn’t that just a rumor?]

Among her colleagues, Misha, who had the longest and deepest relationship with Yandel, did not answer.

But there was truth in those trembling eyes.

sting, sting.

Raven has been biting her nails for a really long time.

It was a habit that came out when I was psychologically driven.

Unlike usual, there was no self-objectification at all.

I have myself wishing that man was Jandel, but wishing it wasn’t.

However… … .

“Well, what can I do? You should check it out.”

Soon, Raven finished her decision.

she knew

No matter how fearful you are, you should not procrastinate and run away from what you have to do.

***

No. 399 The Silent Cage.

A trap-type numbered item that is activated when the space movement-based ability is used within a certain radius.

“The woman… It’s not going to come forever, is it?”

“It will come. It will probably be soon.”

“How are you sure?”

“Because these iron bars don’t last forever.”

To be precise, once activated, it lasted for 2 hours.

The cooldown on such a topic was incredibly long.

‘Besides, it’s impossible to lose while locked up.’

This was our decisive weakness in silence.

Should it be an item only for ‘redemption’?

When this item is activated, all attacks from outside are also blocked.

So, usually, I use this and lock it up, then open up a siege formation, and when it’s released, I put a taguri to link it up… … .

tuk.

At the moment when footsteps resounded from beyond the hallway, the soldier in the role of the guard raised a salute in that direction.

“Nia Lafdonia!”

Yes, you are here.

“Thank you for keeping an eye on me. I have something to share with them, so could you please step aside for a moment? Oh, keep everything that happened here a secret.”

“Yes!”

Raven, who returned after about an hour, was alone, bitten by the soldiers and even lost their hearing ears.

It was a positive sign, but it was too early to be relieved.

I asked Raven, who stopped in front of the iron bars and looked inside.

“… What are you going to do with us?”

“Are you still going to use that tone?”

Huh, does it come out hard from the grass?

Wouldn’t it be better to just reveal your identity at this point and try to convince you to help?

While thinking about it, Raven continued.

“… Helm, take it off.”

After all, his face was bruised once, so he gently took off the helmet with the lighthouse keeper’s bloodstains on it.

Surprisingly, there was no change in Raven’s expression.

“… Even the armor you’re wearing.”

Heh heh, what are you looking at me for?

It was said that male and female seven-year-old shared seats.

“I cannot comply with unreasonable s*xual demands. If I were a woman, I would make such a request—”

“No, what are you talking about now?”

I tried to logically explain why I couldn’t take off my armor, but Raven just looked at me with a straight face.

No, that’s why it’s kind of scary… … .

“I haven’t reported anything about you yet. Next to it, about Mr. Rainwales. But, if you don’t follow my request, it’s a different story—”

“Take it off.”

“The words… Is it shorter?”

I mean, there’s no way to get out of it anyway.

Instead of making a long reply, I took off the armor with a harpoon behind my back.

and… … .

“… … !”

It was then that Raven’s expression changed for the first time.

His gaze, which seemed to be agitated, was fixed on my tattoo, which was hidden inside the armor.

After all, it’s refreshing to be like this.

“It’s been a while, Raven.”

“… … .”

“Why didn’t you just expect it?”

Raven licked her lips at my question and looked at me.

“still… I hoped not.”

“Because I am a demon?”

“okay. It would have been better if only good memories remained… … .”

Raven curled up in a bitter voice.

I also felt my heart tighten.

Yes, you are a person who cannot accept that I am a demon.

“Wait a minute!”

“… … ?”

“Raven, it is a misunderstanding that I am a demon.”

I hurriedly entered the process of persuasion.

“misunderstanding?”

“Yes, I am not a demon.”

“Then what is it?”

Looking at me, Raven clenched her fists.

“Look, I think I lost my height by eating the same essence as Ainar’s ‘Bon Knight’… … . Unless it’s an evil spirit, there’s no reason to hide your identity by doing that, right?”

Yeah, I knew the question would come.

“When I returned, the royal family had already made such an announcement. I found out that there were a lot of things that were questionable. So, for the time being, I was hiding my identity.”

“… … I admit that there are a lot of question marks in that announcement. But for the time being? And are you back? What does that mean?”

Okay, I think you’ve succeeded in attracting curiosity.

“It’s a long story. There is something called a fragment of a record—”

“for a moment!”

While trying to explain what had happened, Raven interrupted the conversation.

“You don’t have to say a lot. Because this is enough.”

Saying that, Raven held a familiar object in her hand.

No.7234 Failed trust.

A number-consumable item that makes it impossible to tell lies within a 10m radius when activated.

“Mr. Yandel, you know what this is, right? This is an item I received from Parthenian in the Doppelganger Forest a while ago. Previously, the military budget was left over, so I filled the number of times it was wasted.”

Ugh, be well prepared.

Whoops-!

In the meantime, perhaps the power button was turned on, the hour hand embedded in a disc the size of a compass began to move.

and in that state.

“Now then, tell me. Is that really a misunderstanding?”

Raven looked at me intently and asked.

‘… All right?’

Even thinking about it, I was quite nervous.

I haven’t actually checked whether Auril Gavis’ ‘Gift’ works properly.

Later, I was planning to go to the verification stand after purchasing ‘inconsistent trust’ or something similar and checking it once.

However… … .

“Raven, you are really mistaken. I am not a demon.”

Yeah, seeing these words comes out, ‘gift’ does work—

Click.

Then the hour hand, which had been working well, stopped.

“… … Now, what have you done?”

“uh… … .”

As I wiggled the tail, the hour hand started moving again.

Wait, is there an error?

“I don’t know about that either… … .”

As soon as I was consistent with my ignorance, it clicked again, and the misaligned trust stopped working.

and… … .

Tick tock, tick tock.

After a while, it started moving again.

“… … Why does ‘discordant trust’ stop when Mr. Yandel speaks?”

Raven swallowed his saliva at the question.

‘No, he said he wouldn’t be affected by these things in the future… … .’

damn old man.

If it’s going to be like this, you should have told me in advance!
