Episode 369 Black Star (2)

The worries about the GM did not last long.

It’s not even a topic worth worrying about anyway, is it?

It is more efficient to spend time doing things that you can do instead of spending time on useless things.

For example web surfing.

clack clack.

Unlike in modern times, surfing the web here is not simply an entertainment to pass the time. Precious time to get information and organize for survival next month.

“… Kkeuk kkeuh heh.”

Oh what’s so funny about this?

hurt your pride.

clack clack.

Soon, time passed quickly as I checked the posts by moving the mouse non-stop.

And…

‘Suddenly.’

The time to enter the round table has arrived.

***

Study with an antique atmosphere.

A white man sitting there, with a pod in his hand, was lost in thought.

“I never thought he was on the same side as Lee Baek-ho.”

It’s not that I didn’t keep that possibility in mind, but it’s never a situation I hoped for.

Even Lee Baek-ho, who can only be described as out of control, gives me a headache, but in the meantime, one more variable has been added.

“…where the hell did he come from?”

About 3 years ago, ‘Elf Nunna’ joined the community.

It was around the same time that the mask of a lion appeared on the Round Table.

And that’s what it means.

‘I guess he came in pretending to be a newbie on purpose.’

If so, why did he come into the community?

Its presumed military power is second to that of Baekho Lee, and it seems that it has built its own forces as well, judging from its superior information power.

‘…the Watcher of the Round Table.’

At the time, the man tentatively concluded that his goal was to enter the secret chat room.

Nickname 0720.

An evil spirit from the other world who secretly infiltrated the community, a resourceful man who created a club called ‘Watchers of the Round Table’ and filled it with big men like corpse collectors himself.

It was judged that he might have something to do with the investigative mask.

But…

‘It seemed like he didn’t know.’

I thought that if I saw the password, there would be a reaction somehow, but how was it actually?

There was no response until the conversation was over.

It was the same when I directly mentioned it at the end.

He couldn’t even guess why he was putting it in his mouth.

Well, even that could be acting, but…

‘If it’s really nothing to do with anything, then did you come into the community to make contact with Lee Baek-ho comfortably?’

well maybe it is

The man reviewed and reviewed several possibilities.

That was when

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t come right away after receiving the call because there was a problem with the bulletin board.”

A white woman appeared in the study where she was alone.

The nickname floating above their heads is ‘Soul Queens’.

“So what did you call for?”

Soon after, she sat down on the sofa across from her and asked, and the man briefly explained what had just happened.

“I met the lion.”

“…I see. How did it go?”

“They threatened. Unlock Lee Baek-ho’s Ben.”

“So… what are you going to do?”

“Fortunately, he said he would give me three months. I intend to make a decision within that time.”

The woman asked cautiously at the man’s words.

“But… does he really have that kind of power?”

It was a topic that the man constantly doubted and pondered.

Because I don’t know anything about him.

Except for being a player from Korea.

Kwak.

The man unknowingly clenched his fists.

‘Fucking Koreans.’

Looking at it, it’s really unfair.

It’s also true that there are not even a few Koreans he met after creating this community. That’s because Koreans who play this game are extremely rare.

If you look at the numbers alone, they are significantly smaller than most Western countries.

But what about the output?

Lee Baek-ho, who entered the subject much later than that, has grown into a strong man who cannot be matched by force.

In addition, the newly appeared ‘Elf Nunna’.

‘Even ‘Elf sister’ is highly likely to be Korean.’

At this point, you may even wonder if you are genetically gifted with something special.

‘By the way, I didn’t ask if he had a nickname like that because he had something to do with Elf-sister. Well, I don’t think he would have answered me anyway.’

The man thought that if someone clears the original and enters this world, it is most likely to be ‘elf sister’.

When everyone finds the easy way and enjoys the cheat version, he steadily digs the original and digs again.

“master?”

“Oh, I was thinking of something else for a second.”

At the woman’s call, the man stopped thinking and gave instructions.

“It’s as Soul Queens said. We don’t have any information about him yet.”

“…….”

“So, please investigate more actively. In a line that does not provoke him as much as possible.”

To the man’s instructions, the woman responded with a brief pause.

However, it is different from the usual when he always handled the work perfectly with a confident attitude.

“……I’ll try.”

It was a voice filled with feelings of wanting to do it.

***

Wearing a familiar mask on your face and passing through the quiet hallway, you arrive at the Round Table room.

Everyone had already entered first.

“…You’re here! I was worried Phisht!”

A clown who even stood up and greeted me, as if I was nervous that I might skip the round table.

“…….”

The Queen looked away awkwardly as their eyes met.

Well, not only did it happen last time…….

The meeting with the GM earlier must have reached his ears.

“…….”

As soon as I sat down, I saw a fox mask in front of me.

In this case, as soon as our eyes met, he greeted me briefly, even if it was an eye contact

.

It makes me sad every time I see him.

If it hadn’t been for a sudden move to the past, he would have been able to use the situation at that time to uncover his true identity—



Hey…”

“Maybe I made a mistake…?”

The fox asked me cautiously.

At first, I suddenly wondered what that meant, but I quickly realized why.

‘Ah, it’s because I clicked my tongue.’

It is similar to the fact that a frog explodes and dies on a stone thrown inadvertently.

Apparently, not only the fox but also the other kids are paying close attention to what I did…

I didn’t bother to clear up the misunderstanding.

“well.”

An ambiguous answer, neither positive nor negative.

The fox gulped at this answer.

He seemed to think that he must have made a mistake without even realizing it.

I’m sorry if I went this far…

‘Let’s just change the topic.’

“Then let’s start slowly.”

Just in time, the entry time limit ended and the door to the round table was closed, so the other members stopped worrying about what the ‘mistake’ the fox had made and focused on the present.

“I’m already looking forward to seeing how interesting the story will come out this time, Fishit.”

“Then, are you going to start over there this time?”

At Crescent Moon’s question, my eyes focused on the deer antlers mask located in the seat to my left.

It was the unspoken rule of the Round Table.

That’s right, I have to start from my left, so I come in the last turn.

They always solved the information first, and I listened to it, judged it, and then solved the corresponding information.

You said you got the position really well, right?

“……Do it first with me.”

Soon, the deer antlers calmly released the information they had prepared.

“At the royal meeting, the issue of the incorporation of evil spirits into the nation was brought up again after 150 years.

Short words that are difficult to understand accurately unless you have been in practice in public office.

So, to put it simply…

‘What are you talking about?’

I didn’t understand either.

Of course, nothing was a problem.

Because there was always a guy at the Round Table who would go first when there was a situation where he lacked knowledge.

“The issue of ethnic incorporation…?”

When the goblin asked in a bashful voice, Soul Queens explained on behalf of them.

“It is an argument to embrace and accept evil spirits as subjects, not to define them as enemies. It was proposed 150 years ago, but it was rejected for various reasons.”

“I see… But it’s strange that the royal family speaks like that…”

“Pishishit sounds like I’m running out of power that much—”

“Well, at least you’re the royal family. I can at least understand that you don’t know anything about the powers of the .”

“……why are you only quarreling with me?” Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Oh my self-consciousness. Did I just tell the truth?”

When the Soul Queens laughed naturally, the clown didn’t speak any more.

He was strangely weak to him.

Is it because I was beaten with words several times?

‘This clown is also a sample of the weak and weak…’

Anyway, the information that the deer antlers spit out received the green light on the first attempt, announcing a fresh start, and the next turn continued.

This time it was the goblin’s turn.

“Hmm, an oracle came down to the Church of Leatlas a few days ago.”

“No way… that’s not the end, right?”

“Haha, that can’t be the case. Anyway, after looking into it, it turned out to be a little strange oracle.”

“Why don’t you stop procrastinating and talk about the content? That would be ugly, but fissit.”

At the clown’s accusation, the goblin glanced at him with the feeling of why he was only doing this to me, and then spoke up.

“The king’s lineage embraces the black star, so help the one who will become its owner.”

“……?”

“It was something like that.”

The star goddess Leatlas.

As it is an oracle of the god who controls the fate and future of the soul, there is plenty of room for interpretation.

“Because it’s a black star… does it mean treason?”

“I think it’s also possible to interpret that he’s colluding with Noark.”

“But… helping the would-be master…”

“Maybe it means the queen is pregnant. But she’s black! Fishit!”

“…How could you say such an obscene story?”

“Why? How about black? Was I racist?”

The clown giggled as if he were telling a funny joke, but the reaction around him was apathetic.

This bastard must have no friends.

So I must have lived with [Dungeon & Stone]—

‘Nimiral.’

I stopped thinking because I felt like my self-esteem was going down. The conversation about the oracle was also coming to an end just in time.

In fact, most trusts are like that.

No matter how many interpretations and assumptions were made, it was only later that time passed before we could properly understand the meaning.

“Now it’s my turn.”

The third sequence was the new moon.

In the past, he had brought great information about the Noble Phantasm, but there was no such thing these days.

Unfortunately, it was the same today.

‘Ugh, whatever I do, I’m going to go over to war information.’

Well, once you know it, it might help you someday.

Since I’m not leading the forces, it’s hard to profit from this kind of information.

In that sense, next.

“The royal family has started passing on military ship manufacturing technology to the civilian population. It seems like an unavoidable choice to build a damaged military ship in a short period of time. Perhaps we will soon see large clans riding military ships.”

The information of the fox was the same.

As if representing her personality, she explained the information and the wavelength of the information in a logical manner, but should that be all?

‘Because it’s the first wheel, the information is a little different.’

The only thing that interested me was the ‘transfer’ agenda that came out of the trust and the royal family meeting.

‘Accepting evil spirits… Will such a world really come?’

I imagined it once, but I didn’t expect much.

Didn’t you say deer antlers too?

It was mentioned only once, but quickly disappeared from the agenda due to opposition.

“Fishit, so it’s my turn this time?”

It was the clown’s turn that came around halfway through one lap. Unfortunately, this information was of no use to me either.

No, is it correct to say that it caused damage?

“The lighthouse keeper is dead.”

I’m sure I’m a clown who got off his luck with those words that no one knows in this place.

“It is known to the world as the gong of the blood spirit, but in reality it is completely different.

“…strange man?”

“Yes, after seeing that Oak Hero’s [Giant] essence was fed, at first I wondered if the Blood Spirit would take him as a substitute for Bjorn Yandel…” ”

Leechen Shuitz. Even the royal family is watching him.”

“Fishit, was that your name? Anyway, I’ll tell you more in detail in the hope that the next round table will reveal information about interest.”

“…….”

“I don’t know where this person came from, but it was such a ridiculous monster that it would be impossible to kill even if the four of us worked together. Phish.”

“……There was such a person?”

“Wait a minute, there was no report of such content from the gold wizard? Are you sure?”

“Or maybe the green light came on?”

The members were shocked by the clown’s words and expressed deep interest.

‘Oh hey, it’s devastating to think that all these bastards will investigate me behind my back…’

It was a time when I just sighed inwardly without anyone knowing.

‘Why is this woman looking only at me again?’

Feeling their gaze, I glanced to the side and saw the Soul Queens with their eyes fixed on me.

For some reason she was muttering something.

So much so that only me next to me could hear it.

“Giantness… Joined 3 years ago… After the Spirit of Blood…”

Did he really notice something?

Or, perhaps, in a situation that seems unlikely to be caught, it may have entered the process of organizing for the last time.

Even this woman was not the only one who felt uncomfortable.

“Wait a minute, isn’t it really him, not a substitute? [Giantness] isn’t a common essence. I heard he also ate an ogre’s essence…?”

It started with goblins.

“I’m sure that after the blood spirit, no matter how crazy that woman was, she wouldn’t have used a nickname as a stand-in…”

The fox nodded.

“Fisit, what are you all talking about? Bjorn Yandel is dead.”

The clown laughed at such suspicions.

But…

“What if he was alive? So what if he increased his strength without anyone noticing? Then it makes sense that the gold mage omitted this report.”

Soon the deer antlers chanted.

“It makes sense. It wasn’t long before the identity of the evil spirit was revealed. Because of that, there is a possibility that he faked his death.”

The crescent moon said as if it were tidying up.

And…

“If Bjorn Yandel is really alive…”

the queen looked at me and said.

“That period overlaps with the period in which Mr. Saja disappeared.”

At that moment, all eyes were on me.

Are you Bjorn Yandel?

I wanted to ask that openly, but it was obvious that I couldn’t open my mouth easily because there were many cases where I was severely beaten while watching the liver.

‘I thought it might turn out like this, but it really turned out like this.’

However, I didn’t feel like I was cornered.

An alibi is enough for this kind of thing, right?

“Is that the story again?”

Soon I put my hand on the jewel of the round table.

And…

“Everyone seems to be curious about me, so I’ll do it first this time.”

I said.

As if to laugh at the suspicion in their eyes.

“I came into this community.”

“…….”

“22 years ago from now.”

The green light came on.
