Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 259



Episode 259: Clan (3)

“….”

“….”

Even though the jewel’s light went out silence continued.

While I was wondering if the post was true the weight of this incident was clearly felt when the truth was confirmed through the clown’s mouth.

‘Yes it really was fine outside.’

What will happen to this city after community activities are over?

I’m sure the rumor will spread uncontrollably.

‘Damn Noark bastards.’

Hearing the truth from this side through the clown’s mouth I can clearly feel Noark’s intention once again.

The post is not a confession of personal deviance.

It was a planned operation to use the community to spread this information within the city.

‘So even a clown can say it so easily.’

A clown always hides behind a frivolous mask and speaks with an emotional voice but he is not an idiot.

For example all previous incidents were silenced.

Since he was the leader of Orculis there was no way he would have known about it but he never used it as information.

[An assassin will soon arrive at Bjorn Yandel.]

This most recently mentioned information is a similar case.

Noark’s side spoke with the nuance of sending an assassin but in reality they were talking about an assassination plot by a large clan.

For reference the reward gained through this is simple.

“By the way Mr. Deerhorn you were really enthusiastic weren’t you?”

The clown made real deer antlers take action.

“Fish I didn’t know you would send knights like that.”

From his perspective this was the first step toward tracing back the identity of the deer antlers.

He probably made his decision at that time.

Even if the assassination of Bjorn Yandel fails this is more important.

“Unlucky guy.”

Perhaps the reason Deerhorn retrieved the knight along the way was because he belatedly realized the clown’s purpose.

The longer the tail the more likely it is to be caught.

“It’s fun for the two of you to fight but let’s do that later! Hey clown if it’s okay with you can I ask you a question?”

Soon as the clown and the deer horn showed signs of starting a fight the Soul Queens skillfully changed the mood and asked a question.

“So who is the old man? It is said that he took more than 10000 people with him at once using scalpel teleportation. “I heard that it was he who led the way outside.”

“that….”

Soon the clown trailed off and smiled awkwardly.

“It’s a fisht secret. “It wouldn’t be any fun if I just told you right?”

Just by looking at it you don’t know what it is.

I’m not pretending to know anything like that.

As I piled up the lion’s share of Jjambap I looked at Gak like a ghost and spat out a word.

“There is no way that old man would have revealed his identity.”

It’s a bonus to look at the clown insignificantly thinking he’s doing something stupid.

The clown flinched as if his scam had been revealed.

‘How do you even know that?’ It seems like he is doing it.

On the other hand the Soul Queens shifted their gaze towards me and gave me a strange look.

“Hmm does that mean the investigator knows? “Who is that unidentified old man?”

No I wouldn’t know that.

I made eye contact and didn’t respond.

If there is something you want to hear the investigator’s signature gesture is to bring something interesting.

Soul Queens said grumblingly.

“Well then can’t you just tell me what you’re interested in?”

Oh well then the diversity of information decreases.

There was only one thing I could say.

This is the exact line I used before in a similar situation.

“I don’t know either.”

The investigator himself does not know.

“What am I interested in?”

When I said that the Soul Queens looked like there were people like this.

‘Okay then I think I’ve somewhat met today’s quota with this…’

I listened pretending not to be interested in the conversation that followed.

The rally which had been suspended for a while was resuming.

“Then I will do it this time.”

The second person to take over was Goblin.

For reference what the goblin brought out this time was information related to religion…

“Didn’t you say that an oracle came down a few months ago? “I finally found out who it was.”

what? suddenly?

I had no idea it would appear here so I struggled to keep my composure.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been useful. Fisht So who are you? “What is the sacred object you received?”

The clown who at the time showed a strong interest in oracles and sacred objects adjusted his posture.

But has this been the first time something like this has happened before?

The goblin said taking a stance with his shoulders fully relaxed.

“Bjorn Jandel. The person who received the oracle at that time was the barbarian who was recently called a ‘giant’ in the city.”

Things are getting interesting.

***

“Bjorn Jandel.”

I can’t say it but it’s the hottest name recently.

“He is the one who received the trust…?”

The clown who had been offended a lot by my true character laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

“Hey is this information correct? “He’s not even human so how can he receive an oracle?”

“Well… I thought that was strange too so I looked it up and found that such cases don’t exist at all. In fact there were several different races who received oracles in the past.”

“Most of them left their mark on history.”

Deer Antler added as if supplementing the goblin’s explanation.

“So stop suspecting goblins without knowing anything. “Didn’t the gem have a green color in the first place?”

“that….”

It’s not always accurate.

It was clear that he wanted to say something like that but the clown couldn’t finish his sentence.

Because the example of that case was myself.

“Now let’s stop. Mr. Clown too. Unlike Mr. Clown back then this is 100% certain information so there is nothing to worry about. “I saw it myself and confirmed it.”

huh? Can you see for yourself and confirm?

If this happens the story will be different again.

At first I thought it was highly likely that the goblins had gotten the information that had spread.

But you saw it in person?

‘…So you were among them?’

There were a total of five people around me when the third vine broke.

Three escort knights and Misha.

and….

‘Sven Farab.’

Vice-captain of the 2nd Holy Knights of Leatlas.

Naturally the suspect is narrowed down to one person.

It was almost an established fact that goblins were former paladins.

‘It’s really amazing. ‘I never thought it was him.’

The gap between the image of the goblin at the round table and the dignified paladin at that time was significant.

Well it’s probably not worse than mine.

‘…Is it actually better?’

Following the Clown and the Soul Queens the identity of the Goblin was discovered. Maybe one day this information will be put to great use.

“Then what was that holy relic? “If you are a star goddess is it also a sacred object related to fate?”

“Actually… I don’t know that. “I’m in a position where I can’t just go around asking questions…”

Soon the goblin ended his turn by confessing that he knew nothing about the power of the holy relic.

Next was Soul Queens.

“On the day when a prize was given to explorers who returned alive at the Palace of Glory an official letter was sent from the palace to the Magic Tower.”

“An official document?”

“yes. It was a request to repair the labyrinth portal. “When I checked it was quite unstable.”

With that the Soul Queen closed her mouth and soon light emanated from the jewel.

A green light means passing.

But the members were not convinced.

“Even though this is your second time aren’t you being too conscienceless? “Pisit who writes such trash information?”

“well? Wouldn’t it look different depending on each person’s level? “If the repairs had been a little late a dimensional collapse could have occurred?”

Despite the clown’s sarcasm the Soul Queens responded verbally without even flinching.

But this time even the deer antlers supported the clown.

“It’s not that a dimensional collapse will occur soon nor is the information that the repairs have been completed seems a bit surprising.”

Well there wasn’t really anything they could gain from this information.

Although I had a slightly different story.

‘…Now that the repairs have been completed it would be correct to say that the experience copy bug has been stopped.’

Ugh so now I have to speedrun to get experience for opening portals?

Still just in case I decided to check this one more time when I enter the labyrinth next time.

“I have nothing more to say. “I truly think this information is not inferior to the information we heard today.”

Soon Soul Queens showed an upright attitude despite members’ objections and finally received approval.

“Oh you were able to do it like that….”

The goblin who had been beaten a lot so far seemed impressed that this method was possible.

But knowing and becoming are two different things.

Even if the goblin were one way or another things wouldn’t unfold the same way. Barbarian-style brute force isn’t something everyone can do.

I must have the confidence that I am the best.

‘This woman is really unique too.’

Anyway after Soul Queens it was deer antler’s turn.

Staghorn said that one of the royal treasures was stolen when Karnon was engulfed in fire.

It was my first time hearing this name but looking at their reactions it seemed like it was quite an important item.

So let’s go out and find out about this later.

“Now it’s you Crescent Moon.”

Finally it was the crescent moon’s turn.

Since he showed a contrast to his usual behavior remaining reticent and sparing throughout the rally I was quite excited to see what kind of information he would spit out.

But when I listened to it there was nothing special.

“The fairy clan has decided to replace the next pureblood with someone else due to circumstances within the clan. “We are looking for a new suitable candidate.”

First of all since it is an internal situation of one of the six races it will be helpful in understanding the situation but…

That’s all the usual information.

However I couldn’t take my eyes off the crescent moon.

That’s right he was staring at me.

“Next time I’ll bring something more interesting.”

There was nothing useful this time but it was an expression of determination that he had never given up on the ‘Stone of Revival’.

Not bad.

Actually for me today’s information wasn’t that bad.

‘But if you’re selecting a new pureblood candidate do you think you can feed it to Erwen? ‘It would be really great if I could feed just that.’

As I was gathering my thoughts for a moment I felt the eyes of those around me looking at me.

Ah now it’s my turn.

Instead of some of the information I had prepared I took out something else.

“Using the Revival Stone you can revive up to two people.”

So keep working hard.

***

Stone of revival.

An item that was considered only a legend before I mentioned it but has now become a reality.

Naturally information about this item is valuable.

However it was thought that members who were not desperate for the stone of revival might be dissatisfied.

It’s not information on how to obtain it and it’s just fragmentary information that says it can save up to two people.

This is already the third time I have tried this.

however….

“….”

“….”

Members did not voice their complaints.

Because it wasn’t that kind of atmosphere.

“Two people… Yeah I guess so…”

Crescent Moon who seemed to have lost someone precious not long ago mumbled in a daze at my words.

There was great desire in his voice.

A moment of silence continued like that.

“So you lost your chance today because of Won Crescent Moon?”

The clown expressed regret that my turn was wasted with the ‘Stone of Revival’ and said as I moved on to the next wheel.

but….

“I haven’t prepared anything else. I’ll just end this. “If it weren’t for you the investigator I wouldn’t have come in the first place.”

Crescent Moon asked for understanding from the members without even looking at the clown and immediately left the round table.

The situation was similar with goblins.

“Well everything I was curious about has been answered… I don’t have anything to write about so I’ll just leave.”

Soon after the goblin left the deer antlers left saying that it would be a bit burdensome to carry on with four people.

Of course the gathering gets a little tighter with 4 people or more.

Excluding one speaker two of the three must spit out information they do not know in order to pass. However the number of pieces of information that can be obtained by providing one piece of information decreases.

“Then how about it? What about trying it with the three of us?”

“I don’t care.”

Clown and Soul Queens took the position that if more was done more would be done.

In the end the choice is up to me.

‘If the three of us work together like this it seems like valuable information will come out…’

Although I was greedy I decided not to overdo it.

If I’m not careful I might actually find out that I’m an empty-headed person.

So the rally ended in the first lap.

“If there was anything fun it would have come out a long time ago.”

Following the investigator’s concept he spoke arrogantly turned his back and returned to Lee Han-soo’s room.

And after spending some time looking at the posts it was closing time and I returned to my original state.

“Oh it’s not my house.”

An inn room in District 7 that borrows Charon’s face and name.

As soon as I opened my eyes the worries that I had left aside for a while came rushing back to me.

‘Is Charon doing well?’

Charon is my alibi.

If the GM was really targeting today he would be watching Charon from afar now to check if he is a player.

“Use it.”

I want to quickly check what happened.

However if you go to where Charon is now there is a chance that you will end up doing something wrong.

So I exercised patience and persevered.

And the next morning I almost woke up.

“Bjorn!”

As promised I met Charon again at the sacred place.

The appearance change lasts 30 days so we put the mask back on and returned to our original appearance.

“Hehehe looking at the blackness under your eyes it looks like you had an amazing night huh?”

Oh I made that excuse.

“…Thanks.”

I walked around and asked Charon everything that happened yesterday. I decided that something I couldn’t remember should not happen later.

…Actually I was just curious and thought I was going crazy.

I left it to you but I got anxious for no reason and imagined a million things during the night.

“Oh you mean yesterday?”

What really happened yesterday?
