Surviving the Game as a Barbarian – 334



Episode 334: To the Future (4)

The best situation is for the GM to have no doubts about me until I get the information I want.

But was it too much to hide it until the end?

‘Well if it happens like this there’s nothing we can do.’

I shook off the slight regret that remained.

Anyway the information I’ve uncovered so far was enough to make it worth bringing out the 4th formula.

‘I don’t know what school it is but I’m 20 years old and 6th grade.’

Moreover the group of three candidates was reduced to two.

There’s no way Auril Gavis didn’t know his name when he met him.

But looking at the reaction…

‘This can’t be Zerkiv Elmen Mackinder.’

The probability of 33.3% became 50%.

And this is probably the end of the Maginot Line that I can find out while hiding my identity. Well I have no intention of just being satisfied and leaving.

‘I think we can find out based on those conditions alone if we do a background check on the two candidates…’

There is no need to take the easy route.

The reason I dug up information more actively than usual in the first place was because I had this means.

“say. Who are you? “How did you get in here and why did you pretend to be him?”

The GM who saw through my acting is putting pressure on me with great force.

As if he was something.

‘That’s cute.’

I smiled and opened my mouth.

Anyway before I left I was going to reveal that I was a different person and tell you this.

“Auril Gavis.”

“…what? That’s the name of the game’s creator—”

“That’s the name of the old man you met.”

When I interrupted the GM frowned.

I heard what was said correctly but I don’t seem to understand the content at all. As a player who cares about newbies I kindly added an explanation.

“He is the one who summoned you to this world and he only intends to use you. And I don’t feel any guilt for doing this. “Beware of him.”

“Even if you say something like that while hiding your identity—”

what.

“It is your choice whether to believe it or not. “I just came here to warn you.”

“…Then why did you pretend to be him?”

“Because I wanted to know what kind of person you are before I told you this.”

Of course I don’t think GM will 100% trust this.

I didn’t just tell the 100% truth in the first place.

In fact GM is also watching me closely to see what the intention is for this.

but….

‘What matters is how plausible it sounds.’

Humans are so sensitive that when you hear something like this you feel a little uncomfortable regardless of whether you believe it or not. It’s the same way that you can’t help but be concerned if there’s a crack in the wall even if it’s very small.

Maybe if maybe.

Just having those keywords engraved in the GM’s mind is enough for now.

‘Then I guess this is enough for the separation….’

There are countless reasons to be wary of Auril Gavis but I decided to end this story here.

The judgment was that it would be more effective to let the imagination be stimulated rather than explaining it in detail.

“…Do you think I will be swayed by your words if you say something like that?”

Of course my identity is more important than Auril Gavis right now so the GM raised his voice.

“If you don’t reveal your identity—”

It was such a laughable thing.

‘That’s not how you ask questions.’

Especially when it comes to people who seem stronger than you.

I took a step forward and asked back.

“What if I don’t reveal it?”

The GM who was speechless opened his mouth to say something but no sound came out.

He just opened his mouth and swallowed the empty air.

“…keuhup!”

Sujajaryu (雄獅子流).

Rule 3: Contempt of the weak.

Trudging.

As I took a step closer the GM started shaking and showing the whites of his eyes.

Hmm I didn’t know my mental strength was this low.

“You’re weak.”

I flew around the round table during your time man.

If things continued like this I didn’t think he would know what I was talking about so I lowered my intensity a little more.

And he muttered quietly.

“Aika Teratios.”

The name of the second candidate that Baekho Lee told me.

However GM’s response was not what I expected.

What is this man talking about? Is it like casting a spell or spell?

Those eyes filled with only wariness are directed at me.

‘Tsk.’

Hey isn’t this one too?

So now there is only one candidate left…

“Jurben Havellion.”

I continued speaking without giving any time.

It was not as if Lee Baek-ho had made a mistake or there was no such anxiety.

but….

“…!”

The reaction was noticeably different from before.

Temporarily dilated pupils.

Increased breathing volume.

Stiffness of facial muscles.

To the point where he doesn’t avoid my eyes and tries to look casual.

I was also considering the possibility that he might be a master of the poker face.

“So that was your name.”

While I was filled with joy at finally finding out GM’s name I also felt somewhat bitter.

‘I never thought I would succeed until the third try.’

33.3% and 50%.

The odds are worth trying both but I was anxious because I got a successive number of losers but there was a winner among them.

Well I’m always like that.

“Jurben Havellion.”

I mumbled the GM’s name as if I was thinking about it and slowly relaxed my life.

Then the GM who was unable to breathe due to stiffness in his standing position knelt on the floor and began to gasp for breath.

Meanwhile his eyes were fixed on me.

“What are you…”

Eyes filled with fear rather than hostility.

However was it possible to make rational judgments once the deadly force that had been constricting the body and mind disappeared?

Flash-!

A pure white light briefly blinked coloring the entire world.

There was no reason to panic because it was a phenomenon that had been experienced countless times.

“I’ll see you later.”

The community server was taken down using the master’s authority.

***

“Are you awake?”

When I opened my eyes Amelia was sitting next to the bed.

These days she was busy walking around every day and night but there was only one reason why he was by her side.

Because while I’m in the community I’m incapacitated.

Is it possible that something could happen in the meantime?

‘Something happens in less than 10 seconds…’

I think I’m being overprotective but it’s true that I feel grateful regardless of that thought.

“Here it is.”

When she reached for the bottle of water she had left on the nightstand because her throat was sore Amelia picked it up and handed it to her instead.

“Ah thank you.”

“So what happened there?”

She took a sip of water to quench her thirst and then told me what had happened there.

Amelia listened without hiding her interest but she didn’t make too much of a fuss either.

“Jurben Havellion I never would have guessed that the reclusive wizard was an evil spirit. “If it becomes known the city will be turned upside down.”

“Hermit wizard?”

“Don’t you know? It is famous for being confined to the magic tower and rarely spending any time outside. “I believe that most of my current reputation was created during my time as an explorer.”

“I see.”

This was my first time learning about a housewife but I still have some general information thanks to some research I did a while ago.

Due to an incident the entire school he was involved in collapsed and after that he became independent and established his own school. He mainly used wind attribute magic during his days as an explorer.

And in the field of magical tool making which is his specialty he has reached a unique position that no one can match.

‘So Lee’s name was also a ‘magic engineer’.’

Anyway the story that started like that ended with the fact that it was fortunate that the record fragment stone did not work.

“…are you lucky?”

“Ah right from the middle I thought this was the role I had to play in this era. “If this was my last role I would have had to return as soon as I woke up without even being able to buy equipment.”

“Ah… that too… that’s right.”

“huh? “Amelia why are you doing this?”

“no. So did you find a place to hide the equipment?”

Amelia nodded her head at my words and she looked somewhat strange but she didn’t really ask anything.

The next topic may be more important.

“Well I don’t know. I walked around a lot but should I say I don’t feel safe? “I’d like to discuss this with you too.”

After listing the places I had visited so far I asked Amelia for her opinion.

“There are certainly elements of anxiety in all of them.”

“It would be perfect to hide it in the sacred forest but I’m a little uneasy about that shaman wandering around all the time.”

“Then how about leaving it in a bank vault?”

“Bank vault?”

It was an unexpected method.

That’s because to use the bank you have to use the identity ‘Nivelz Nche’.

Not only is there a possibility of problems when recovering as Bjorn Jandel but above all ‘Niebelz Enche’ status will be canceled next year for non-payment of taxes.

Simply put what is deposited in the bank is returned to the national treasury.

‘But it’s also impossible to pay 20 years’ worth of taxes in advance.’

Because it is a method that has realistic limitations in many ways it was not even listed as a candidate.

‘But he couldn’t have said something like this without knowing this…’

“Tell me in detail.”

As I adjusted my posture Amelia opened her mouth.

“Alminus Bank has something called a ‘bearer fixed-term safe.’”

“This is my first time hearing it.”

First of all it was a system that did not exist in the game.

This means that it is an update that occurred within 150 years.

“No wonder you don’t know. “It is a system so little known that even among explorers who frequently use banks few people know about it.”

Afterwards Amelia briefly explained about the anonymous fixed-term safe.

‘To summarize if you pay money without revealing your identity your items will be stored for a certain period of time. To find an item all you need is the password.’

Well it’s not bad?

***

The next day.

After a long time I went out with Amelia and visited the bank to check whether there were toxic provisions in the system or hidden elements of anxiety that I was not aware of.

and….

‘If this is the case go to the Swiss bank right?’

I decided that it was at least safer than burying it in the ground so I put Crowl’s Demon Crusher in an anonymous personal safe.

For reference the period was set at a generous 22 years.

Well because of that the amount that had to be paid in advance was quite high…

“Don’t worry you can pay that much.”

With Amelia’s blessings this kind of money wasn’t a problem for me.

Fortunately it seems like things worked out well.

“Oh you really made up for all the missing money…?”

For over two weeks she had been working day and night to earn money and Amelia had made up the capital she had promised.

When asked what kind of magic she did her answer was this:

“It’s nothing special I just sold information.”

She used her returner perks to sell information.

The main customers are those who were interested in this auction.

It seems that the name and color of the essence to be exhibited this time were sold…

“But it’s a little strange. “What do they believe and buy information from?”

“Ah in that case he took advantage of his position as head of the Central Exchange branch.”

“You used it? how?”

“I followed the branch manager around every day and night to investigate and at least one thing came up that was worthy of being caught. “He threatened me with that.”

Oh by the way it is said that even the branch manager did not know what the integer was perhaps because the exchange put a lot of effort into maintaining security….

Of course it was just a minor problem for us.

The important thing is to make customers think that it is trustworthy internal information.

“We stopped by the branch manager’s office together to prove our friendship and no one questioned the authenticity of the information. “They probably thought that if the information was incorrect they could hold the branch manager responsible.”

After hearing all of this I couldn’t help but be amazed.

A resourcefulness that makes you wonder if he would have succeeded in business.

Is this really the dignity of an SSR colleague?

“Amelia…!!”

“What…! “Don’t cling…!”

As a result everything from where to hide the equipment to selling the equipment and finding the money to buy purified water and the balance was all sorted out in Amelia Sun.

and….

“Is it today?…”

As time passed the auction day arrived.
