Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 240 Awl (5)

A library with the faint smell of books.

“How was it?”

Soul Queens, a woman with blonde hair, pondered for a while before answering the man’s question.

“It was a very interesting place.”

It was the most fitting expression.

A place where the corpse collector is a member and even that person is not at all sluggish? I didn’t know there was such a chat room in the community.

But…

“What I’m really curious about isn’t this personal feeling, right?”

Soul Queens laughed as if teasing him, and the man didn’t deny it either.

Well, there was a different reason for infiltrating her as the ‘Watcher of the Round Table’.

[Maybe it’s something like a meeting the Watchers of the Round Table created to avoid our prying eyes.]

A spy from the royal family.

Or a player from another world.

The man sent her there to check both possibilities.

If so, what would be the result?

Soul Queens smiled and added.

“It seems Love-sama was right this time too.”

“Which way?”

“As expected, the Watcher of the Round Table seems to have been created by a player from another world.”

“I guess I need to listen a little more closely.”

Soul Queens slowly explained what had happened there.

A male lion with an overwhelming presence.

A clown whose identity is revealed as a corpse collector.

Deer antlers presumed to be from the royal family, and goblins that seem more out of place because they are ordinary.

“Hmm, I don’t know about the fox. I don’t think she’s the quiet type, but I haven’t really had a conversation with her this time.”

Still, the fox was a woman worthy of attention.

That’s because she asked for a conversation with the investigator at the end.

What if it’s some kind of ‘tangential’?

“You’re suspicious of a member called an investigator.”

“Yes, if there are other players among them, there is none other than that man.”

Afterwards, the man asked for the reason, and Soul Queens answered without hesitation.

“I drove him, a collector of corpses, to the brink of mental contamination just by living.

This alone is obvious.

It is impossible with the normal human mind.

I wonder if it’s a player from another dimension who survived in this world a hundred years ago.

Even this is not the only reason.

On the second wheel, the lioness said.

[Ghostbusters were created by evil spirits from another world.] When he

said that the GM was not the creator of the community, he brought up information that only a few knew about as a joke.

As if he knew the true identity of this side.

Then she was sure.

[Yeah, that’s what it was.]

This man, who looked dangerous, was no mere player after all.

“Come to think of it, he said he knew the body collector’s information from the beginning, right?”

“Yes, for reference, the members expected the investigator to know their identity.”

“…That’s suspicious.”

Security within the community is absolute.

Even the person who took over the managerial authority and created the current Ghost Busters is unable to find out their identities.

“How do you think he knew who they were?”

“Well, if you really knew, there are two possibilities.”

In response to Soul Queen’s question, the man gave a total of two possible numbers.

“If one of the monks is equivalent to the otherworldly archmage who created this subspace, or has such an existence as a companion. And the second is…

” If you’re on the same team as me, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. First of all, all of the current members were gathered by that ‘master’, so it’s only natural that they would know if they were tipped off.”

“But then it wouldn’t make sense for me to know who I am.”

“Aren’t you certain yet? Try throwing a bait next time. Whether or not that man really knows the identity of Soul Queens.”

“Okay.”

“Anyway, now the information about the Master is becoming important. Did you find out anything?”

“I haven’t met the Master yet. But I was told by Goblin-sama after the meeting that I visited this place on the day when there was a strange connection record.”

“So that means that the person who sneaked into the community that day has the nickname ‘0720’.”

“It’s probably like that. I wanted to find out more, but the goblin-nim still seems to be wary of me…”

After that, the two talked for about an hour.

It wasn’t just about the ‘Watcher of the Round Table’.

incident this time.

A player who died too many times.

What is the most efficient way to increase new member recruitment in the future?

And…

“What will Lee Baek-ho do? He’s toppling over the magic tower to find Love. Now, Love-sama is just one of many suspects, but I don’t think it’ll be difficult to hide his identity forever. ……”

Even the most troublesome incident that happened recently.

“Baekho-san is still thinking about it. From the circumstances, it seems that he has become hostile to the royal family…but you have to be careful. It could be a trap.”

“Yes, I’ll leave that part to Mr. Love.”

It was a car where we had conversations like that.

“How did the investigation into Elfnunna go?”

“All posts have been deleted, so I think it will take a little longer to recover. Still, there are quite a few GPs.”

“Did you get it from Baekho?”

“No, I made almost all of it on the first day. Selling some high-end information.”

He further explained that Soul Queens was such information that you could know after playing the game for a while, and that all posts and comments he left were deleted, so it would take time to recover them.

“Hmm, I see…”

The man tapped the armrest with his index finger as if to organize his thoughts.

There was only one reason why he followed ‘Elf Nunna’.

Because I judged that there is a possibility that ‘Bjorn Yandel’ and ‘Elf Nunna’ are the same person.

Bjorn Yandel.

A barbarian who showed an unprecedented rate of growth.

Unusually, he chose a shield during his coming-of-age ceremony.

elf nunna.

Easily acquired GP by selling in-game information within the community.

He is also a ‘Korean’ followed by Lee Baek-ho as an older brother.

This was very important to the man.

If the two are the same person, there is a possibility that he is the ‘him’ whom he has been waiting for.

‘…wait for a sec.’

A thought flashed through his mind, and the man opened his mouth.

“Soul Queens.”

“Say yes.”

“Did you say the lion was an Asian?”

“Even with your mask, you can’t hide the color of your skin.”

As a Western game, the percentage of Asian players is very small.

You can tell just by looking at Baekho Lee.

He opened a chat room waiting for Koreans, but it took several years to meet people from Donggyeong.

And that trend person is ‘Elf Nunna’.

He was the one being suspected of being the same person as ‘Bjorn Yandel’.

“Is the clown’s identity the only thing the investigator clearly mentioned?”

The man straightened up and asked.

“Oh, this is my first visit, so I’m sure, but I think it was because of the atmosphere.”

“That’s right…”

The man muttered, lost in thought.

That’s also true, because ‘Bjorn Yandel’ most recently battled the ‘corpse collector’.

Is this really just a coincidence?

Of course, it was still just an absurd leap because they couldn’t find out if it was the same person as ‘Elf Nunna’.

but that’s why

“When is Bjorn Yandel’s conferment ceremony?”

“I remember it being three days later.”

“Three days later……”

The man made a decision within.

“I’m going out for a long time.”

Let’s meet in person instead of worrying about it for a hundred days.

***

“Hey wake up wake up! Wake up!”

The morning after I went to the community.

I woke up with Misha’s back smash.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been living, and I’m really tired and I’m going to die, but…

“What did you do yesterday, so you’re sluggish from the morning!”

After going to the community, it’s better to wake up on time, even if you’re overdoing it.

If anyone knows anything about this place, even me, who sleeps late only on this day, might look suspicious.

Now, there are more eyes on me.

‘He said the damn assassin would come too…….’

Yesterday I just collapsed from exhaustion, but I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep well at night from now on.

haha really annoying

‘Why is everyone so upset that they can’t eat me?’

With my physical condition right now, I wouldn’t be able to fight like usual. I sighed, but I quickly washed my face and went down to the first floor to eat together.

It was a bit of a strange sight.

That’s because there was one more new person added to the usual breakfast.

“Did you wake up?”

“Then get up. Don’t stand idly by. Sit down. The food will cool down.”

“yes yes!”

Erwen sits at a table with a nervous expression and eats.

“…….”

Unlike usual, an awkward silence begins to hang over the table. Fortunately, Misha, who felt the air, opened her mouth vigorously first.

“So what? My food?”

“It’s delicious… Thank you…”

“If there’s something you want to eat, tell me. I’ll make it later for dinner. Oh, and if there’s something I can’t eat, let me know later.”

As always, Missha takes care of even the smallest details first.

“Carrots! I can’t eat carrots!”

Einar wanted it at this time, so he hugged him and hit him on the back.

Will that happen after that?

I tried ten times, but all failed.

Since we only eat meat every day, are we supposed to eat properly?

‘I’m grateful for my heart, but…’

It’s true that a barbarian has a barbarian life.

“I’ll stand and wash the dishes!”

After the meal, Einar, as always, went out to the Holy Land and had time with the other three.

The atmosphere was not as bad as I thought.

Should I say that it feels like the ordering has been completed perfectly?

“Erwen, come and sit down now. We need to talk.”

“yes yes!”

“It might be a bit premature to ask this, but what are you going to do next? First of all, our team is already full.”

“That’s…”

Erwen looked at me with a twisted tail.

You might be asking if we can talk about the clan.

There’s no reason why I shouldn’t do something, but…

I didn’t have the energy left to talk for a long time right away, so I just glossed over it.

“It’s too early, Misha. Isn’t it a situation where we don’t know if we can enter the labyrinth next month anyway?”

“that… It does.”

To be honest, unless this situation is over, it is wise to stop exploring the labyrinth for a while.

There are no immediate financial problems

.

The dragon slayer.

The corpse collector.

The assassin of Noark.

Even the royal family’s actions that are completely unknown.

There are so many reasons to become stronger as soon as possible.

But…

‘Still, at least until it calms down to some extent, the trend will continue. It would be better to watch.’

I tried my best to erase my impatience.

Isn’t there a saying that the more you hurry, go back

?

Anyway, after that, the three of us ate refreshments and talked about this and that.

At first, Erwen was uncomfortable with a stunned expression, but when Misha treated her kindly, he unexpectedly found peace. ‘

But before coming home, I sorted out my mind about my sister . seems to have finished to some extent.’

Thanks to that, I’ve been able to put down the burden.

I’ll have no choice but to carry heavy burdens in my future life, but Erwen stood up on his own.

So, I’m sure I can go farther.

“Huh? You have a younger brother?”

“Yes, I am still young and living in the Holy Land. Later, when I become an adult… I’ll have to take care of it somehow. Just like my sister did for me…”

“Nyaha don’t worry too much. Aren’t there still many left? Then you’ll be much more relaxed.”

“Is that so…?”

Erwen and Mischa were having a surprisingly hearty conversation. However, Erwen suddenly bowed his head.

“Then he apologized properly . didn’t you give it? I’m sorry

. That’s it. Rather, things went well thanks to that incident.”

I tilted my head.

Back then?

Did the two of you meet and apologize for something?

“But is unnie okay…?

” My thoughts have changed quite a bit since then…I don’t think I’m qualified for that in the first place.”

Misha looked at me as she said that.

For some reason, I felt a chill.

It was then.

Knock.

I heard a knock on the other side of the front door.

” I’m going out.”

I got up quickly and went to the door.

Normally, I would have opened the door, but yesterday I heard the information that an assassin might be coming.

First , I asked who he was

.

A knight who reveals his identity with a polite tone, probably because he is scheduled to be a baron. I

checked through the sight glass and saw that the armor was in place and other knights were pouring in from behind.

‘This doesn’t sound like a lie.’

There was also an understanding part, so I opened the door.

Then, face to face, I checked the business they were looking for.

It was good news after a long time.

“An order came from the top.”

“Orders?

” It is an instruction to protect.”

Yes, the antlers have moved.
