Chapter 520

Episode 520: One on One (3)

The air became heavy for a moment at Lee Baek-ho’s sudden murmur, but it didn’t last long.

Lee Baek-ho regained his energy as if he had never done so, and I didn’t mention it anymore.

But, in my heart, I thought.

‘… How was it?’

I now know something about Lee Baek-ho’s past.

A few years before I woke up in this world, his identity was exposed due to a colleague’s betrayal.

And it became what it is now.

While trying to attack the labyrinth like me, the situation came when the team was disbanded and I had to do it alone.

A terrible level of distrust of human beings was a bonus.

‘Well, actually, from the point of view of the locals, calling it betrayal is kind of funny, but…’

Still, if I hadn’t been betrayed then.

What does Baekho Lee look like now?

“huh? Why do you keep staring at me like that? What else did I do wrong?”

“I just saw it. but did you do anything wrong? Why are you stabbed?”

“… Cha-am hyung too! Could there be such a thing? haha.”

“…….”

“By the way, can I talk to you two for a second?”

When Lee Baek-ho said that and glanced at Hyun-byeol, Hyun-byeol sighed.

“It’s not like the two of you are dating.”

“Haha, are you jealous right now, sister?”

“… I’ll come back later.”

Hyeonbyeol left the room without making a big grunt like he had been doing until now.

I was a bit surprised anyway.

Now that I think about it, even if I say that it’s my sister, I don’t say much.

Did you realize that nothing would change just by talking about cancer?

“Hehe, hyung, now it’s just the two of us left? Now, then, since the intruder is gone, be gentle—”

“Leave Don’t joke around like that.”

“yes.”

“So what was in such a hurry? You send Hyunbyeol out first.”

“Oh, is that it? Actually, I wasn’t in a hurry…”

“Then what is it?”

I sat down on the sofa and rested my chin on, and Lee Baek-ho also sat across from me and asked.

“Hyung, are you really trapped in a labyrinth?”

“uh.”

“It’s a really strange place to be maintained even after the labyrinth is closed. Did you find a way out?”

“yet.”

“Hmm, isn’t this a bit big when you think about it again? How about it, I’m going to get it?”

“Go get something. Do what you have to do.”

“Hehe, I knew you would say that if you were my brother. In fact, I can’t even go.”

“Are you out now?”

“yes. When I got outside, I thought there would be some bigger discoveries everywhere, but I can’t see a real rat. If I had known this would happen, I would have just searched for the hidden area.”

“I was wondering, why did you go outside?”

“I didn’t expect to find the hidden area so quickly.”

That was the reason.

It felt a little strange that the guy who was more interested in the labyrinth left the kingdom at this time.

“Brother, how are you doing there? Give me some information.”

“With your bare mouth?”

“no way… My brother won’t be curious about the story outside the castle walls either. Let’s share this together.”

“There aren’t any rats out there?”

“How long will that be? My intuition is telling me? Beyond this, there is a great secret hidden!”

Lee Baek-ho’s words seemed to sell medicine somewhere, but deep down I also agreed with him.

Something is hidden outside the walls.

I still don’t have a good idea of ​​what it is.

“Okay, Dill.”

“As expected, you’re hot-tempered, brother!”

After that, I gave a lot of information related to the first basement floor.

Mutant monsters and new monsters.

A library’s summoning book with information like an encyclopedia.

Floaters on the sea, etc.

However, he did not talk about the village chief.

There was no remorse.

Even if it’s a deal, I haven’t received anything yet, and he won’t be honest about everything he finds out outside the walls anyway.

‘Well, if I discuss the village chief with him, I might learn something new…’

Ha, Baekho Lee, why is this bastard so distrustful?

If we reveal everything and cooperate, it seems that we will be stabbed in the back someday.

It’s such a pity to throw it away.

“Okay then, that’s it.”

“to? What about that wooden island? I’m in the middle of listening to it with interest.”

“I am exploring right now. Do you know how surprised I was to be brought here after resting for a while?”

“I’m glad though. Actually, when Hyunbyeol noona asked if hyung was really dead with a face that looked like she was going to cry at any moment, she was very embarrassed.”

Well, since this guy is outside the wall, he must have heard about me from Hyeonbyeol first.

It’s because he doesn’t seem to read the bulletin board very well.

“Hyung, then I’ll just go.”

“huh? Do you still have a lot of time left?”

“By the way, do you think it would be good for you to step aside today?”

“What do you mean?”

When I asked because I really didn’t understand, Lee Baek-ho smiled and looked at me.

“Today I am with Hyunbyeol noona. Even if you pretend not… Oh, didn’t you pretend it wasn’t true? Anyway, you seem very surprised.”

“ah… .”

“Then your brother will go away.”

“Baekho, wait a minute.”

When I called out to leave, Lee Baek-ho tilted his head.

After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.

Maybe it’s just a bit of nonsense.

“I’m not that smart.”

“… yes? Did I hear you wrong?” Searᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing Lee Baek-ho making a foolish noise, I continued.

“It’s not smart to have a lot of secrets.”

“… And what?”

“It’s just that I’m scared.”

you also.

And me too.

Because I always think of the worst first.

***

Lee Baek-ho left a little early, and Hyun-byeol re-entered soon after.

“Did you talk well?”

“huh.”

“But you broke up early today?”

When asked a question, I also gave a quick answer.

“I was told to stay with you?”

“… What? what! He made a noise!”

“What are you so upset about? It’s not a day or two that he’s talking nonsense.”

“Yes… . Not even for a day or two… yes… .”

Even as she said that, Hyeonbyul fanned her face as if it was hot somewhere.

It’s been a while since I’ve had this kind of reaction.

It’s kind of playful.

“Are you that worried?”

When I asked in a teasing voice with a grin, Hyeonbyeol narrowed his eyes and glared at me.

“… Are you going to fight?”

“uh… no? Rather than that, why are you talking about fighting?”

“really… People become like this because they hang out with a strange boy like Lee Baek-ho.”

“…….”

I was just joking around for a while, but why did it become such a scolding situation?

I don’t know, but I hurriedly changed the subject.

“How about you? Are there any problems with what you were doing?”

“yes. It’s similar to me. I am working under Countess Peprok, earning trust step by step.”

“How about the countess?”

“… He’s a good person. It is also pure. Although it’s been a little annoying lately.”

“Are you being annoying?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? Bjorn Yandel.”

“ah… .”

It was never my intention, but somehow I ended up doing something similar twice.

“Well, I’m glad. I also came to see the bulletin board, but there are many people who believe in it? The number of views was very high. At this rate, news will spread throughout the city within a few days.”

“I’m glad.”

“yes. That’s fortunate. If the possibility of survival had been presented just a bit later, would the property have been confiscated and the establishment of the Yandel family all-stop?”

yes, that means

It can’t be anything but fortunate.

“… I meant to say you’re glad your boss won’t bother you anymore.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

after… Now you’re very openly suspicious and throwing bait.

If we meet outside later, we should show them what a true barbarian is.

To the point where you can never doubt me again.

“Brother, what were you thinking?”

“nothing?”

“It’s not… It was a very ominous look.”

“What are you talking about with your eyes now?”

Before Hyeonbyeol noticed, I reacted strongly and stopped talking, and after that, I spent time reading and chatting.

and how long has it been

“Brother, it’s time to go.”

“Ah oh. It already happened.”

It was time for the round table to open, and the seats were naturally closed.

After leaving the chat room and returning to Lee Han-soo’s room, I spent time checking the bulletin board once more, and entered the round table at the end of the entry time.

A lion’s mask in a navy blue suit.

At first, it looked ridiculous, as if she was wearing a doll mask, but now it seems to suit her well.

OK, so I’m all dressed up…

Tuck, Tuck.

At the round table we reached after walking down the aisle, all the members except for me were already seated… .

“Ah, does that make sense? It must be a lie, of course.”

“well. I’m not sure. If you look at the comments left on that post, don’t they say that Didigo is also likely to do that?”

“Hehe, I know! Didigo is a player with that strange concept, right?

“That’s right, but even though he’s an eccentric, he’s not someone to be ignored.”

“Well, he was suspiciously knowledgeable… . ah!”

When I arrived, those who had been chatting among themselves stopped talking and greeted me with their eyes.

Oh, except for the clowns, of course.

“Fisit, welcome today. Mr. Lion.”

A clown who gets up from his seat and bows like a medieval aristocrat. I looked at it once and sat down ignoring it.

‘Today’s first seat is Parab.’

As I sat down, I implied that there was a goblin in the seat next to me.

Did you want to do the first turn today?

I was curious about the reason, but well, you’ll know it right away when it’s your turn.

“Then let’s begin.”

As soon as I said one word without saying anything at length, the meeting immediately began without any free time.

“I believe that you have read all the posts on the bulletin board today. The story in that post is most likely true.”

“… And what?”

“… Is this the information in my order?”

At the goblin’s words, all the members let out a sigh as if they were dumbfounded.

“I’m not saying it’s true, what do you mean it’s highly likely?”

“Fisit, then I will take the next step. A goblin’s brain capacity is likely 3 kilobytes!”

“Hehe, clown, you saw that in that post, right? It was really funny. Wasn’t he really ugly?”

“Pi, fishet… .”

The clown laughs awkwardly at the butterfly’s response.

However, did he secretly anticipate that there would be a barrage of objections and ridicule.

“Then, from now on, I will provide reasons for saying that the post is highly likely to be true.”

As the goblin continued speaking without hesitation, the members tilted their heads and focused.

“… reason?”

“Oh, I wonder if there was something else?”

“but… No matter how thoughtless it was, there’s no way I would have brought out something like that just for information.”

As soon as attention was focused on it, the goblin was right too, explaining the grounds he had organized.

“I have been good at the Internet since before. What I like is to argue, and my specialty is to reveal personal information.”

“… But what does that have to do with evidence?”

“I checked and analyzed all posts and comments left by the publishers before today’s rally. Believing in anonymity, I went through clues one by one and put them together in my own way.”

“… So?”

“I couldn’t figure out who exactly, but the person who posted that post is a member of the Hetz Clan.”

To be honest, I was really surprised.

Members said, ‘What is this bastard talking about?’ It was such a reaction, but at least I know that the answer is correct.

‘… Will that work?’

It was a goblin talent that he hadn’t known about before.

“I don’t know what to say about this.”

“If it’s Clan Hetz, it’s one of the 60 explorers who went down to the hidden area along with Bjorn Yandel this time…”

“Queen, what do you think? Since you have a deep relationship with GM, you must have known something?”

Soon after, the deer antlers asked, and the queen nodded her head in bewilderment.

“… It’s hard to believe, but Goblin-sama’s guess agrees with ours.”

“Is it really?”

“yes. however… I don’t understand. It’s a guess we could make because we recovered and read the deleted posts…”

“Was it written about the statue? What is that deleted post?”

“There are quite a number of them, but they are all related to the Hetz Clan. Periodically, they praised the clan and said that the welfare was good, but they deleted it before the community closed.”

her… What kind of clan back ads do you do here?

It’s absurd, but as the queen’s testimony continued, the members’ views on goblins changed a bit.

“Whoop whoop… That’s good. The results of my investigation proved to be true.”

… Goblin, what the hell is this guy doing?
