STGB Chapter 158

Episode 158 Investigator (4)

The reason why the holy relic was mentioned at the meeting is simple.

It’s information that’s close to me, so there are a lot of advantages, except for the part that bothered me a little.

‘For now, it’s helpful for the concept of mysticism.’

Isn’t it right after the clown raised the atmosphere to the fullest?

Rather than suddenly bringing up the story of the labyrinth, this seems plausible.

Was this the information you were curious about earlier?

Let me tell you. award

It was judged that the members who were expecting what kind of information they would tell if they spit it out like this would have nothing to say.

Actually, that judgment was not wrong.

Far from being disappointed, I could see at a glance that my expectations for myself had grown even higher.

“…Do you know where the Master is?”

I shrugged my shoulders at the fox’s words.

It means that if you bring something fun, there’s nothing you can’t tell. Fortunately, the fox seemed to understand and squeezed her tiny hand tightly.

As if he had made up his mind to listen to it someday.

‘I’m going to say it’s no fun anyway…’

My conscience was stabbed, but I quickly brushed it off.

Isn’t it a business relationship that you meet with a mask anyway?

It would be right to thoroughly care only about my own gain.

‘Still, I think the motivation worked well.’

It was the second advantage I judged.

Due to its structure, it is difficult to guarantee complete anonymity for the Observer of the Round Table. Because the information itself that others do not know means that you have access to that information.

‘Crescent Moon talked a lot about fairies, and Fox seemed to be more up-to-date on the latest information about people and events than Hidden Peace.’

Of course, unlike the goblin whose status as a paladin was exposed, the other masks seemed to keep the line.

However, in order to bring interesting information, you will have no choice but to reveal your bottom line.

If this concept is used well, it will be of great help in inferring identity.

‘I don’t know about the other kids, but I’m curious about the identity of the clown.’

In that sense, it was a good opportunity.

If you’re curious about my identity, that’s probably the same.

Due to the situation, we can only solve information about the labyrinth from now on, so we must not miss the chance to pretend to be there.

I don’t know if it’s the first few times.

If you continue like that, you may be suspicious that you only know a lot of game information, but in fact, you are not a sucker.

Anyway, here’s the third advantage.

[I want to buy information about who the oracle was given to.]

The clown had already shown a strong interest in the oracle, and decided that it was reasonable to write it like this if it was information that would be known anyway.

Of course, I’m not sure how far he can find out. I don’t know how heavy the mouths of the people on the temple side are.

But…

‘Rather, I can confirm it through him.’

Even the watchers of the round table can’t figure out the clowns who are treated as high level?

Then I can be at ease.

It means that the secret is well kept.

It was a car that was rolling its head hard while maintaining its chin resting posture.

“Now then, shall we go around one more lap?”

The second wheel started under the lead of the fox.

This time, the start was Goblin, but there were some twists and turns from the start.

After receiving the red light, I managed to get the green light on the next attempt, but…….

The members all raised objections.

“The saint’s real name. If you look for it, it might be useful somewhere, but…”

“You’re too eager to eat it raw.”

“I wonder if it was in the past. It will be difficult to move on to something like this now.”

In the end, the goblin had to bring out new information that was useful enough for the members to admit, and it was difficult to pass the turn to the next turn.

Oh, by the way, the information was temple-related.

‘If you’re the commander of the 2nd Holy Knights, isn’t that the woman next to Crobitz when the oracle came down? I couldn’t believe she was a homosexual.’

It was a scandalous piece of information, but surprisingly, members did not object.

I guess I knew the general thoughts.

He must have judged it to be valuable information that would allow him to pinpoint the 2nd Commander of the Holy Knights’ weakness if he could just gather the evidence. Because homosexuality is classified as a very great sin.

“Well then, that’s me.”

The fox mask, which was next, talked about what the double number item would be to appear at the Celestial Auction House.

“You write twice with one piece of information.”

The antlers expressed their dissatisfaction, but did not go to the objection.

I also need to know.

That Double Numbers is worth it.

Anyway, after that, the turn continued, and secret information came out from the mouths of the members.

The antlers mentioned the story of the heir of the Crescent Moon Fairies who had been stripped of his position for committing a mortal crime.

“Hmm, is it my turn now?”

The clown who exploded the bomb called the 6-person bonding magic relaxed a little this time and solved the ordinary information.

Well, is it a little too ordinary?

“Actually, this mask we’re wearing wasn’t chosen at all.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Master said that when you first choose a mask, you choose the one that most closely resembles your destiny.”

That was a very interesting statement.

It’s a bit vague, but not useful information.

“That’s why Goblin-san looks down on me. It means a moderately cunning fate for a weak subject.”

The goblin mask, the target of the clown’s old example, shook.

But did it look a little pitiful?

“I don’t know the goblin, but the clown. I think I know why you’re unlucky.”

The deer antlers muttered sarcasticly to the clown.

However, the clown only laughed and made a fish-sit sound without a hint of displeasure.

“But this doesn’t sound like very important information.”

“Yes. It’s a bit strange that the master said that, but…”

“Bring out something more helpful.”

The clown clicked his tongue at the backlash of the three.

“Tsk I’ve given you a clue about fate. Is this a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck?”

The clown staring at me while muttering that.

This time, I just stayed still without answering anything.

Silence always goes somewhere in the middle.

“Then I guess I’ll have to talk to you at the right level.”

Soon the clown brought out new information.

It was about the explorer’s guild, and this time it passed without objection.

It was my turn to come back like that.

I unraveled one of the pieces of information I had picked out beforehand.

It’s advanced information, but it’s information that’s so advanced that it’s useless to know.

“The Stone of Resuscitation exists.”

As soon as I finished my words, everyone’s eyes gathered around the round table.

And the moment when the jewel emitted green light.

“…….”

“…….”

Silence came.

***

“What is that Resuscitation Stone…?”

The first to speak was the goblin.

The fox answered his question with a glance.

“It’s an item that can bring people back to life. Or should I say it’s a well-known item?”

The ‘Stone of Resurrection’ is an item whose existence was only known by rumor even in the game.

It was worth it.

In order to eat this, you have to meet crazy conditions in an environment favored by heavenly luck.

The first time I ate it was purely accidental, and then I couldn’t get it even though I knew the conditions for getting it. But do the guys who broke the cheat version have a chance to know?

“If you have that, can you really bring the dead back to life?”

The crescent moon asked cautiously.

There was an indescribable excitement in his voice.

Is there anyone you want to save?

“okay.”

In return for hearing a lot of useful information today, I provided a little service.

“If you have a Resurrection Stone, you can resurrect a lion.”

Although there are complicated requirements attached, it is safe to say that the effect itself is as known outside.

But couldn’t you be satisfied with this?

“Then, do you know who could—”

“Stop it.”

I coldly cut off the words of the crescent moon and recited.

If you want to hear more, come back with information worth it.

Soon, the crescent moon also came to its senses.

“Then let me know what you are interested in. I really need it.”

Well, I didn’t expect this kind of development…….

I thought about it for a while.

A geek who is boring and dull in everything, and an investigator who even participated in a rally like this.

If so, what would he have answered here?

Before long, an appropriate line came to mind.

“I do not know either.”

The investigator does not even know himself.

“What am I interested in?”

It’s a bit like a middle school two, but other than that, it’s a pretty good concept.

If you go around like this, you’ll be able to get a wide range of useful information on your own…

No matter what you say, it’ll be easier to judge.

“It must be very difficult. To please someone like you.”

The crescent moon let out a long sigh.

His eyes were filled with determination to find out. For some reason, my conscience pricked me, so I turned my gaze to stare into space with my chin resting on my chin.

But did it look lonely?

A moment of silence ensued, with no one speaking.

“Hmmmm! Now then, what shall we do now? If everyone is okay, shall we go around one more time?”

Soon, the fox assumed the role of moderator and led the conversation, and the goblin raised his hand.

“I’m leaving at this point. I don’t have any information to satisfy you now.”

“Then I’ll fall in too. I’ve prepared several more just in case, but looking at today’s level, I’m not very confident.”

After the goblin and the deer antlers declared their absence, it was decided that the meeting would end naturally.

But what else is this?

‘Ha, this time again?’

Everyone is quietly looking at me without going out.

Come to think of it, it was the same at the last meeting.

Everyone pretends not to, but should I say they are curious about my evaluation?

Hey, I must have hurt my pride last time.

At that time, he said that it was only this much and gave off a look of disappointment.

‘……Then what should I say this time?’

After thinking about it for a while, I made a decision.

And after looking through the various masks one by one, he smiled.

The effort seems to have been imaginary.

“Look forward to the next one.”

Thanks to you, I’m getting good information.

***

The room of the round table where the investigator left.

The goblin vomited the question he had been holding back in a blank voice.

“……Who the hell is the author?”

“It’s clear that he’s not a normal person.”

The antlers answered with a short click, and the goblin let out a long sigh.

I was just saying that let’s make an analogy together.

Why am I always treated like this?

Soon, the goblin confessed what he was thinking to himself.

“…Maybe it’s someone on our side.”

“Fisit what do you mean goblin?”

“There are less than 10 people in our church who knew information about the Oracle. Each and every one of them was at least the rank of head of the high priest. If the author is one of them, all explanations—

”

The clown cut off his words abruptly, then fired at him nervously.

“This is why you always look down on me. Why are you so simple? That man is a cardinal? Captain? Do you think it’ll be that much?”

“But! Otherwise it makes no sense. It hasn’t been more than 15 days since the oracle came down…”

“It’s pitiful. Don’t you think there must have been one of the human hands and feet in it?”

“Such nonsense…”

the goblin blurted out as

nonsense . “Wait a minute , does everyone

think that way?”

Everyone

except

himself is accepting that nonsense.

“Because there is no explanation other than that. “

To be honest, I thought you were some kind of dope general. But that wasn’t the case…….”

“Maybe we’ve had a relationship with a big player more than I ever imagined.”

At this point, I’m starting to wonder if it’s possible.

Truly, the man’s touch reached the core of the church. Could it be that they’re reaching?

Of course, they weren’t sure of anything yet,

so the goblin focused on the conversation that followed

. You don’t know who you are, but you don’t know what kind of person you are, right?”

“Good idea. Maybe you can find out what he’s interested in.”

At the fox’s suggestion, reasoning through collective intelligence began.

The goal is to find out the identity of the lion.

“I’ll start with me first. He wasn’t even interested in Double Numbers. It’s probably because those things are so strong that you don’t need them.”

“It was the same with the plan to subjugate Noark. He didn’t even flinch after hearing it. It’s clear that

even the heart of the royal family has eyes and ears.” I don’t know how many people have been so broken that they don’t even know what they’re interested in?”

Every time they talked about their observations one by one, I wondered if they were hypnotized as a group

. ” Maybe

… he might know all of our identities.”

“What are you

talking about, Crescent ?” As if he even knew about my story.”

The goblin involuntarily burst into laughter.

I know he’s not an ordinary person, but isn’t this too much of a leap?

‘It seems more likely to be a coincidence… Wasn’t it just the front?’

Of course, it was only a thought in his mind,

since everyone was taking Crescent Moon’s words seriously.

“Hmm, I was a little curious as to why he suddenly brought up the stone of rebirth, but

then it makes sense .” Also, he thought the possibility was worth considering.

The goblin was confused. All

the smart people were saying the same thing, so he started to think that it could be true.

“Ah!”

Then the fox clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

” mask! You have a mask.”

“A mask… you mean?”

“Yes. If you think about that mask, won’t you get a sense of what kind of person he is?” ”

Hmm, if the clown’s words are true, you might be able to find out what kind of personality he is

. ” “Hmm

, when I think of lions, the

first thing that comes to my mind is the story that they drop their cubs off a cliff as soon as they are born.”

“You mean only those who survive? Those are all rumors. Well, to become that strong, you must have gone through something worse than falling off a cliff.”

“Nothing comes to mind except the King of Beasts. Does it mean that the lion will one day become king?”

“Hmm, he certainly didn’t look like someone who would move under someone.” ”

I’ve heard that lions were used as a symbol of the emperor in the East.” ”

The king’s What a symbol! This is a bit interesting!”

The goblin just listened to what they were saying.

As he was doing so,

he suddenly had an idea. ?’

Of course, this time too, it was just a thought in my head, because

it was obvious that if I said it, they would only stare at me pathetically.
