Episode 368 Black Star (1)
Click, click, click.
I manipulated the mouse and looked at the chat room.
It was one of the first things I did every ti I ca to the community.
[Long live Korea’s independence] – 0 people are online.
The Korean chat room where Lee Baek-ho first t.
Again, there was no access this ti.
‘It’s not like I don’t have a desire to et and have a cool conversation afterward……’
I checked briefly and moved the screen to the free bulletin board. Usually, posts are regenerated explosively after the community opens.
There is no better ti than this to briefly review the events of the past month.
[Breaking news] Count Ramleond So died in this expedition.]
-The leader of Orculis took four or so people and killed them.
– It is said that the vacant position of the 3rd corps commander is highly likely to be passed on to the chief of staff who perford the mission as a proxy during this expedition.
[these99: With this incident, the weakness of the [Thousand Gold Wall] has been exposed, so the rear will no longer be a sucker.] [
└SecureId7: It’s not a sucker. See, I didn’t die that long. At most, the number of patrol troops will increase in the future.]
[stevencastle: But if it’s the chief of staff there, isn’t that the Eltora Tercerion bastard?]
[└Author: That’s right. The Pri Minister’s son.]
[└stevencastle: Ha, the 3rd Corps will never go there. I got entangled with that bastard, but it never ended well.]
As expected, the most posted articles on the bulletin board were about war.
[Who heard the news after the blood spirit?]
-I heard that you killed an Orcules mber who was doing sothing like a lighthouse keeper. From what I’ve heard, there were also blood knights, corpse collectors, and screaming witches on the other side.
[marcelone: This is true information that everyone who should know already knows. By the way, he didn’t kill it by himself, he said he joined forces with the gold wizard.]
[└Writer: Wow really? Contrary to rumors, they said they used to be co-workers, so they don’t seem to have a bad relationship.]
[marcelone: But the opponent’s power is too strong, so many speculations are coming out. It doesn’t make sense to catch the lighthouse keeper, who was a support position, against such a force, no matter how bloody he is, isn’t it?]
Tsk So people question this part too.
If there is enough suspicion here, another place might have really started an investigation.
clack clack.
I kept thinking and reading the posts.
And how long has it been?
Tring-!
Suddenly, a note arrived.
[Sender: Ghost master.]
The GM’s nickna was written on the sender, but that wasn’t surprising.
System ssages or announcents within the community are sent with this na.
More than 90% of my ssage box is from GM.
But…
‘Seeing that there is karma, I’m nervous for no reason.’
I clicked the mouse with the feeling that sothing had co.
And sure enough.
[There was no circumstance in the last episode, so I’m finally contacting you. If you have ti, let’s take a look now.]
An invitation ca from the GM.
***
Not particularly surprising.
I was expecting a call from GM a long ti ago.
Rather, it’s even more strange that it ca now.
‘Honestly, I thought I would be contacted right away on the last episode.’
The identity of GM was revealed at the round table.
And this must have been conveyed to the GM through the mouth of the Soul Queens.
‘But the fact that the call cos only in the next episode…’
There are two possible cases.
I wanted to have a eting with a careful ti.
Either that or it was an environnt where you couldn’t be contacted while the community was active.
It won’t matter what.
‘Then what should I do…….’
I had a mont of thought while leaving the note on.
Even if I decline the invitation, I don’t think the GM will feed Ben. Didn’t he put on the mask of a lion and pretended to be a big shot?
If you have an idea, you won’t be completely pretending.
Especially if you had the experience of beating Ben during Lee Baek-ho and then almost dying in real life.
‘…Okay, let’s et again.’
Once the decision was made, there was nothing to hold back.
I closed the note window, found the secret chat room written on the note, and entered the password.
‘Password 0720? Sothing like an anniversary?’
I thought so, but even if the speculation was true, it wouldn’t be sothing to be deeply concerned about.
Shaaaaaa-!
Soon, the light emitted from the monitor flashed, and when I opened my eyes, I was in a study with an antique interior.
“…….”
The faint sll of books.
For so reason, this place exuding a calming atmosphere was sowhat familiar to .
Because I’ve been there once.
It was a ti when rumors of dinsion collapse were circulating. While I was checking whether the rumor was true or not, I got information from a man here.
[Elfnunalove]
The man with such a strange nickna above his head.
I never thought he would be a GM at the ti.
Um, is that the sa for him?
“It’s been a while. Elfnunna-sama. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to call you a monk?”
“It doesn’t matter either way.”
“Your way of speaking has changed a lot in the anti. Actually, is this really what you are?”
There was no reason to answer the question I was asking, so I ignored it and sat on the sofa across from him.
Then the boy put a fake smile on his lips.
“Anyway, this is the third eting. Isn’t it strange? It’s a human connection.”
It’s definitely weird.
The first eting was a newbie seeking information within the community, and the second was a chat room with Baekho Lee.
[It’s literally. From now on, even if you co here, you won’t be able to et Mr. Baek-ho.]
He briefly told the situation, even if it was moral, and that was the end.
To him, I must have been nothing more than a rare Korean player.
“You beca very reticent while I couldn’t see you.”
“…….”
“Then I’ll ask you directly. In fact, I don’t easily believe in ties. What do you want from ?”
What you want…
“Why do you think you want sothing?”
“If not the second eting, the first eting must have been intentional.”
Yes, that’s how you interpreted it.
It was a real coincidence.
“You must have been the one who invited to the chat room back then, right?”
“Yes, it was. But now that I think about it, it’s strange. It’s like the fact that you pointed out a mage nad Schinal Fergang of the Tarutein School in the question.”
“…….”
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t help but think that they were trying to attract . Didn’t you intentionally post sothing that would interest ?”
He’s funny too.
What’s the point of doing that for ?
“It’s so creepy when you think about it. That ans you knew so well.”
It’s an absurd leap, but there’s nothing to be gained by saying it with my own mouth, so I roughly finished talking at this point.
“…You didn’t call to talk about that, did you?”
“Are you evading an answer?”
what is avoidance
I can’t tell you the truth.
“Think of yourself.”
“It is.”
“So why did you call ?”
When I cut it off and decided on a topic, he replied with a smile.
“That’s a strange question. Isn’t it you who called ?”
huh? Why is the story suddenly like that?
“…….”
Let’s stay still at the unknown developnt, and the guy continued talking on his own.
“I don’t know how you found out my real na. But wasn’t the reason you told Soul Queens my real na because you wanted to et ?”
Uh…….
I feel more ashad of myself if I point out the wrong leg while talking so sharply.
suddenly have a lot of thoughts
However, as always, the ti of concern itself was not long.
“indeed.”
This is how it happened.
“I wasn’t a jerk.”
Let’s change the route a bit.
***
“That ans…”
He glances at with his tongue twisting.
I responded with a shrug.
“……!”
After all, this guy is probably looking at too.
It must be a ploy to get information by asking questions like that.
If I admit it, it’s a fact check, and if it’s the opposite case, I can erase one number of cases.
In fact, from his point of view, it would not be a loss even if he was in vain.
Therefore…
‘Let’s just let it go in vain.’
Soon I opened my mouth.
“Yes, there is sothing I want from you.”
It’s not even a bad situation when you think about it.
I’m not just saying, there are so things I wish only a GM could do—
“Then you could have kept in touch quietly.”
Oh that…
“That way is no fun.”
As expected, the guy interpreted it on his own.
“…Well, from my point of view, it only seems to be done to intimidate .”
what is that you think
I got to the point again.
“So you’re not going to ask?”
“……What do you an?”
“What do I want from you?”
“…….”
The guy stared at quietly, then let out a deep sigh.
“Okay. Let’s talk about it. What did you want from that you did this to?”
I answered after a mont’s delay.
“Release Lee Baek-ho’s Ben.”
If you really need GM’s power, this is it.
Because when Lee Baek-ho returns to the community, we can talk. We also need to dig up information about our cat, who will be in temporary care.
Was it just an expected request?
“…I guess this was the purpose.”
Surprisingly, GM had a calm expression.
Well, it’s not unusual among players to form a faction by nationality.
“Then, was Lee Baek-ho the one who told about my identity?”
The question seed to convince that Lee Baek-ho and I were already in the sa relationship.
I had no reason to answer.
“well.”
“What the hell are you two up to?”
“There’s no reason why you can’t answer.”
“…yes?”
The guy with a bewildered expression probably didn’t know that such an answer would co out.
You have to listen to what the person is saying to the end.
“If you bring sothing worthwhile.”
When I continued, the boy frowned.
“if… Interesting information, are you talking about that?”
Yes, that story also reached you. As
I continued my silence without negative words, he tapped my knee with his index finger…
“Hahaha… …..”
He suddenly started laughing like a deflated balloon.
What is it? Suddenly,
he was scared .
“I guess you
‘re quite confident in yourself ?”
“That’s similar to .”
“You an you refuse?”
To my words, he answered without hesitation,
“Yes. There is no reason for to respond to the unilateral demands of spreading my information at will.” “…….”
”
If you want to unlock Lee Baek-ho’s ban, bring sothing worthwhile.
” The guy who woke up looked at as if he had one last thing to say.
Well, I’m glad I gave him ti to say it, though
. “I’m sorry
,” I
said with sincere sympathy.
He tilted his head.
He’s pretending he didn’t understand.
Even if he pretended not to from the first eting, it was clear that he was
afraid of .
[…Well, it seems to that it was only done to intimidate .] Seeing
my
actions, I felt a great threat.
[Then you could have contacted quietly.]
About my past actions ”
I’ll give
you three months.”
” …Are
you threatening ?”
Soon after,
the guy said,
“…Even Lee Baek-ho couldn’t do anything about .”
Saying that in such a low voice only seems to give himself courage.
There are parts to be corrected.
“To be precise, that guy . I almost died.”
“…….”
“Do you think I look like him?”
“…….”
He didn’t answer.
Therefore…
“Rember It’s three months.”
“…….”
“Then I’ll visit you myself.”
Now
it was my turn
to get up.
Returning to my room, I collapsed onto the bed,
an experience I’ve experienced countless tis since wearing a lion mask, but I still felt a lot of fatigue every ti I did
it.
Originally, I was going to et with GM and ask for a little bit of information about how much he knows about .
If possible, I’d like to bring up Lee Baek-ho’s story once. Yes
, I definitely intended to do that at first…
It’s a line.’
As I was talking to him, my thoughts changed.
The magic engineer Jurven Havellion.
An unidentified strong man who knows his identity.
It seems that the position acted as a considerable anxiety to him, but being able to catch it quickly worked as a positive. ‘
But even though his identity was exposed, the royal family didn’t seem to be wary.’
However, as I slowly reviewed the conversation, a question I hadn’t thought of before ca to mind.
Even if he leaked the information that he was an evil spirit to the royal family without harming him directly, the ruin would have been confird from his point of view.
But why does he seem to be wary of only direct threats ? ‘…Does the royal family have a backbone? Sothing that can bury the problem of evil spirits?
‘ If that
‘s the case, I’d like to share that back with you… but
would n’t
that be possible
?
. You don’t say anything about the password.]
It
was quite an embarrassing experience.
So why the password
? [Then, does it really have nothing to do with him?]
[
…….]
[Sorry for catching you. See you again in the near future.
] It’s embarrassing.
‘It’s 0720…….’
What did GM want to confirm from through that number?
