STGB Chapter 284

Episode 284 Drifting (4)

Is this a true story?

Isn’t that like a hidden camera?

I stood still for a long time, seized by a sensation that can’t be explained with words of bewilderment. His fingertips trembled slightly and his breathing became increasingly rough.

However, the understanding was quick.

‘Time slip.’

This alone explains all the contradictions that have arisen since I woke up on this island.

Therefore, denying it is pointless.

So, wouldn’t it be impossible to move through time while working on a computer and waking up in a barbarian body?

After finishing my thoughts, I stared at Amelia.

“You already knew.”

“To some extent.”

Amelia nodded slightly and said it was only after meeting these guys that she became convinced.

I saw them in books, but were they very famous at the time?

‘……Somehow, it was strange. He’s not the kind of guy who’s going to hit the floor like that.’

It’s a kind of time traveler perk.

Seeing through the identities of the puppies who hid their true feelings, and smashing their heads before they could do anything.

It would be absurd from the victim’s point of view.

“You’re famous, what the hell are you talking about!”

I don’t have time to explain.

It doesn’t make any sense if I explain it.

“Are there any other clan members on this island besides you? If so, just nod your head slightly.”

I quickly moved on to interrogation time.

And after solving a few questions, I took some time to think.

“20 years ago……”

First of all, the time zone was 20 years ago.

To put it simply, we met people whose crimes would be revealed and executed about five years from now.

‘It’s a more troublesome situation than I thought.’

Through interrogation, it is said that more than 30 people are staying on this island.

And Amelia warned.

The other guys don’t know, but the leader of Clan Elvis is a very dangerous explorer.

“……First of all, I’ll have to move.”

“I guess so.”

I quickly ended communication with Amelia by exchanging a few glances. Surprisingly, he and I got along quite well in this area.

This is because there was no need for persuasion.

“First, take off the equipment.”

“Oh, I’ll do these guys here.”

We skillfully stripped off their equipment and took their backpacks.

And…….

Fuuk.

killed them all

Even so, how can I send him away alive?

As soon as we get back, I’m sure he and his comrades will start chasing us.

‘They deserve to die in the first place.’

The emblem of a clan whose crimes are revealed after 5 years.

Clear evidence of looting came out of the rucksack, as well as immediately after hearing various details during the interrogation, so there was no feeling of guilt.

“What are you going to do with the body?”

“I think you’d better ask.”

“Then I’ll have to dig the ground soon.”

I followed without objection to Amelia’s question.

Cancer In this case, you should follow the advice of experts.

“Then I will erase the traces over there.”

While I was digging for the body, Amelia returned to camp and dismantled the campfire I had built and the grass bed I had painstakingly dug.

It was the moment when my short primitive life ended.

Now, it’s time to go back to civilization.

“It’s a dagger. Are you going to use it?”

We threw off the ‘Tree Spirit’s protection’ and put on the clothes and equipment we obtained after killing them.

It’s not comparable to the equipment I used, but

…….

What I want more from here would be greed.

Afterwards, after burying the body and covering it with earth, I drank water from the canteen while chewing on beef jerky. And checked the direction with a compass.

‘Hu seems to be living a little more now.’

There was nothing to be surprised about now.

***

“There’s a cave you saw. Go there.”

The time when the sky slowly turns blue and brightens.

After moving along Amelia for about 30 minutes, I came across a small cave. Was it the place I found when I was heading to the center of the island with Misha?

“It’s wider inside than I thought.”

“……Didn’t you come in and see it?”

“I just kept an eye on it as I passed by. It seemed like a good place to hide.”

No, but you remember the location?

“What a memory.”

When I admired it with a pure heart, Amelia frowned, saying it was just an old habit.

“It’s hard for a grown adult to be ashamed of a single compliment.”

“……I wasn’t shy.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Barbarian, what does that mean?”

That’s right, that’s right, what.

Anyway, chat time ends here.

“I’d rather talk about it sooner rather than later. What the hell was that stone?”

I spat out the question I had repeated many times and finally got the answer.

“The Fragment Stone of Records. It is a legacy of the great sage Gabrillius and a treasure kept by the lords of Noark for a long time.”

Yes, that was the official name.

Just looking at it, it seems to be related to this situation.

“Then, is it because of the fragments of the record that we time-traveled to the past?”

“Perhaps.”

Amelia continued with a meek affirmation.

‘Record Fragment Stone’ is an item with a legend that can change history by going back to the past, and because of that, he has been working hard to obtain it all his life.

“But why did you write that while you were with me?”

“That…was not my will.”

“what?”

“I didn’t even know how to use it in the first place. I planned to study it properly when I go back to the city later.”

According to Amelia, even the lord of Noark didn’t know how to use it, so it seemed that he only kept it.

As Auril Gavis said while handing over the ‘Record Fragment Stone’, until the ‘one who is called by the times’ appears.

‘Nimiral.’

If you sigh, blessings run away, but sighs keep coming out.

“So you don’t know how to get back?”

“……Yes.”

Amelia spoke as if she had no face, but her eyes were always twinkling.

Well, there was nothing I couldn’t understand.

From his point of view, isn’t the wish he had been wishing for his entire life come true? Rather than going back, the main concern is how to change the past.

‘If I came this way, what happened to the other side? Is it just standing still?’

The brain gets complicated.

But there’s nothing I can find out just because I’m thinking about it now.

For now, I decided to satisfy my curiosity.

“So what happened?”

“What do you mean?”

“I was curious about what the story was about trying to come to the past like that.”

“…….”

At my question, Amelia kept her mouth shut.

If you don’t want to answer that, just say no.

“…….”

After that, there was an awkward silence for a long time.

I had a sudden time shift, and I had many things to think about, just like me and this person.

“The sun is rising.”

Time passed and the day dawned, and we stayed there.

The judgment that I could go out and move and run into them and find myself in an awkward situation.

If the kids I killed earlier had a boat, they would have escaped the island on it.

‘I can’t believe he’s controlling the island itself.’

I found out during the interrogation process that Parune Island was the territory of the Gnomes Clan.

Using this as a base, roaming around the nearby islands and plundering only explorers without a clan?

It is said

that even the five of them wandering around the island in the first place was in the process of searching for explorers who came in while the clan was away…

On the 6th floor, the labyrinth is closed on the 60th day.

Surprisingly, today is the day.

I wonder if there’s anything new to be surprised about even the time slip.

‘What will happen to the kids…… There should be another month until the labyrinth closes. Will he survive without me and leave?’

Suddenly, I was worried about the comrades I had left there, but I didn’t think too deeply.

Yes, I should worry about me first rather than them.

To the point where you don’t even know if you can go back.

‘When the labyrinth is closed, won’t everything return to normal?’

As I was thinking such silly thoughts, Amelia called me.

“Barbarian.”

“My name is Bjorn, son of Yandel. Human.”

“…….”

“So what did you mean?”

“I was going to tell you to pick one of the IDs in your backpack ahead of time.”

huh?

‘Ah…….’

At first, I wanted to know what he was talking about, but I quickly understood.

If I go back to the city of the past as it is now, I won’t be able to cross the checkpoint properly. Soon, I rummaged through my backpack and put all of my IDs together.

Forty seemed to be enough.

“……But why did these guys collect ID cards like this? It could be evidence of looting.”

“It’s a common thing. ID’s are kind of money.”

Even if they weren’t from Noark who had no status in the city, were there people who wanted a new status?

‘Well, it’s the same thing if you search your backpack anyway. It must be profitable to bring your ID and sell it.’

Soon we went through the ID cards one by one and picked out something we could use.

Unlike the human Amelia, I had no choice.

Out of all the IDs, there was only one Bavarian ID.

“Amelia Berrywells, did you get something nice?”

Amelia chose an ID card with the same name.

Race is human, gender is female.

“You’re twenty-one. Do you have a conscience?”

“…I didn’t choose it because I liked it.”

uh? what is this reaction

“Wait a minute Amelia. How old are you?”

“……Don’t pay attention to me. Bjorn Yandel.”

Amelia quickly returned to her original form and cut off her words coldly.

It’s the first time I’ve seen him stutter, so I thought I’d tease him a bit.

“It’s just that I have to pay taxes when I live here longer, so I just picked one that I can pay as little as possible. Since it has the same name, it will be comfortable.”

Yes, you already have in mind that you have been stuck in this time zone for over a year.

‘It sucks.’

I licked my lips, looked at the ID card in my hand, and checked again what I needed to memorize.

‘Name Nivelz Entze Age twenty-one. Explorer level is 6.’

This was all the necessary information.

However, at level 6, a few possessed essences will be registered in the guild, so it would be wise not to use things like [Giantness] in front of people.

“If you’ve checked everything, give it to me.”

“huh?”

“I told you not to call me a barbarian? You can’t call me Yandel in front of others.”

Oh, that’s right. I

handed Amelia an ID card that I will be using for a while.

But what is this again

As if it were the name of someone she knew.

***

“Are you sure you know someone?”

Amelia shook her head at my question.

And she didn’t explain further, saying it was

just a coincidence . He has a

knack

for it.

Anyway, after that, I passed the time by enduring in the cave until the labyrinth was closed.

We had intermittent conversations, but there was a part that left a deep impression on me.

“I will take responsibility for finding the way back, so don’t do anything conspicuous if possible. Because it can make things irreversible.”

“Irreversible things?”

“I heard this from a wizard by chance. If it is possible to go back to the past, they say that even the slightest change could lead to the destruction of the country.”

It seemed like

he was talking about the butterfly effect. ‘……

Wait

a minute, what happens when Bjorn of this era dies?’

Suddenly, I had a thought.

It was 20 years ago, so Bjorn will still exist at this time. He

must be at the age of just munching on a baby bottle.

But if that child dies, what will happen to me?

‘… .Maybe I’m in a very dangerous situation.’

Once we get back to the city, I think it would be better to keep quiet and watch the situation for the time being, as

Amelia

advised .

After saying that, Amelia thought about it again.

Time passed like that.

Some of the clan members who were wandering around looking for the missing companions on the island passed by, but thanks to Amelia’s camouflage in front of them, they managed to get past without being noticed.

And finally.

[00: 00] The

of the clock was clicked and moved.

means that the labyrinth

was closed. came back. I blankly looked up at the sky and smiled

The

gray sky of Lapdonia

usual

It’s so much work that it’s more awkward to be peaceful like this.

Slowly, I started to realize,

‘……This is really the world 20 years ago.’
