STGB Chapter 308

Episode 308 Round Table (2)

“Isn’t that right. It’s kind of like a jury system.”

Having lost his luck like that, he continued his speech as if making an excuse.

“Of course, I don’t like this method either, and I don’t think it’s a good way. I’ve only said it once that you don’t believe me, so if you don’t like it, you can refuse.”

Looking at my eyes while talking, it seems that he understood what I was staring at as a negative meaning…….

‘It’s a round table…….’

Actually, it’s not such a bad suggestion for me.

It would have to go through some modifications, such as pulling them all in front of a round table rather than pretending to be a member of the jury.

The leader of Orculis and the Annihilator.

And up to two unknown deceased persons.

If you play round table with them, you are sure to come up with useful information.

But…

“I refuse. I don’t want to talk about Mijoo in front of others.”

Right now, the priority is the information on the limited edition of the Gavis table. Let’s move on to the round table rules, we can do that later.

“Rejection…… Actually, I thought you would answer that. From your point of view, they and I may look like one.”

Auril Gavis asked with a sigh.

“Well, what are you going to do now?”

I chuckled.

What should I do?

have to go back to the beginning

“One out of three questions.”

“Hmm, but I think my situation is better than when I was one in five.”

“Because I’ve made things like this.”

Let’s say while looking at the jewelry, this time Auril Gavis laughed.

“Thank you for acknowledging my efforts, but wouldn’t it be more appropriate to take turns doing it once in a while?”

Well, from that point of view, it’s just embarrassing.

As long as the lie detector works, it can be said that the conditions for the two of us have become the same.

But…

“Think of it as the price of faith.”

Apart from seeing that gem from the future, I’m not sure the old man can’t tamper with the results of the gem’s authenticity.

Isn’t that the person who made the jewelry?

It wouldn’t be strange if the cheat key was hidden.

so that.

“Contradictory.”

Auril Gavis laughed as if he was full of spirits.

“Don’t you know? If I’m cheating on you, it won’t matter how many more questions I have.”

Of course I know.

But what do you mean?

“So you mean refusal?”

“Hehe, that’s not possible. It’s strangely contradictory, but it makes sense. At least you’re throwing yourself into an uncertain situation.”

It was a more refreshing acceptance than I expected.

I thought it would be a bit more tedious to negotiate.

“Can I take the first order instead? Didn’t you ask about my age earlier?”

“good night.”

This time, I also gave up a step.

That old man must have a plan, but it’s true that he received a lot of consideration…

Being asked isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Through questions, you can conversely understand the other person’s intentions.

“Then I’ll ask.”

The time for the truth game began like that.

Soon Auril Gavis’s mouth opened.

“How many people have cleared the original text 20 years from now?”

Is that your first question?

I suddenly thought so, but it was too soon to be relieved.

Wasn’t it a question asked at the cost of an unfavorable exchange fee of once in three?

It won’t be mere curiosity.

‘The reason I’m curious about that is……’

Probably curious.

Will there be someone to replace me in the future?

So, I just answered honestly.

“I’m the only one who broke the original. At least as far as I know.”

An answer that expresses the only advantage I have in this relationship to some extent, while leaving room to not be too obsessed with myself.

“Hmm, that’s right.”

When the green light came on from the jewelry, Aurill Gavis nodded slightly with a face that did not know what he was thinking.

So now it’s my turn to ask questions.

I didn’t need time to worry because I was the one who pulled out the list of questions a long time ago. Oh, of course, as much as the ‘jewel’ is in front, transformation is necessary.

“Have you ever used a record fragment stone?”

I deliberately ask questions that can only be answered with ‘yes’ and ‘no’.

Of course, the amount of information that can be heard is reduced in this way, but

I can still fact-check properly.

Once the facts have been sorted out, I can infer the rest. It’s more trustworthy to me than what others have told me.

“I didn’t expect to be asked this question from the start… You’re really formidable, too.”

“Answer?”

“I’ve used it before.”

yeah that was it too

After checking the green light for a while, I calmly chose the next question.

That was when

Auril Gavis asked curiously.

“But how did you know that?”

The answer is simple.

Because the last time we had a conversation, there was a little bit of that.

To be honest, it was just a stab.

However, nothing is free in the world of competition.

“Ask me later if you’re curious.”

“Keuheum…….”

“Then let’s ask the second question.”

“Try it.”

I took a moment to catch my breath and then opened my mouth.

The second piece of information you should check first.

“Did you create this spiritual world?”

Upon receiving the question, Auril Gavis flinched slightly and looked at me with a strange look.

“…I don’t know what you mean.”

“What do you mean?”

“Because it’s hard to know why you’re curious about that. If you’re just asking out of curiosity, I’d understand. You don’t seem like the kind of person who moves with emotions like that.”

I think you know roughly what I mean.

In the eyes of this old man, it must have looked like a question with poor value for money.

I didn’t hear a definite answer, but the circumstances were clear.

It would have been considered a waste to check it out.

But…

‘This is a law that needs to be pointed out clearly.’

This space, which is brought in every 15th of every month, is unique.

Even the royal family and the Mage’s Tower are aware of its existence, so many studies have been conducted, but no one has been able to find out how this world was realized.

To this day, wizards can only guess.

They said that a wizard so great that they couldn’t even imagine created this place.

If so, is such a great wizard really this old man?

“So what’s the answer?”

“It’s as you think. I made this place.”

Soon after, Auril Gavis came up with an answer.

And…

“The red light is on.”

Bail judged that answer to be false.

I was as perplexed as Aurlil Gavis, who was startled.

I didn’t expect lies to come out here.

“How did this happen?”

As I narrowed my eyes and asked, Auril Gavis trailed off.

“That… must have been a bit ambiguous.”

It’s ambiguous…….

Because I have knowledge about that jewel, I was able to understand the situation. Because that jewel is based on the ‘psychology’ of the target.

If you feel uncomfortable with yourself, the green light will not come on.

When I glared at him to explain, Auril Gavis gave an answer like a Zen dialogue.

“I made this space, but I didn’t.”

This is not to play with words.

“Are you serious?”

“……Still, the green light is on, isn’t it?”

“Tell me straight. What did you mean by that? Did you mean there was an ally?”

Auril Gavis answered after a while.

“…I can see that as well.”

If it’s like that, it’s like that. I can see it. What else is it?

It’s absurd, but once the jewel had a green light.

‘……Then it could be interpreted as an intention to hide the fact that there was a collaborator. The reason why the red light came on in the first place must have been because I felt remorse for trying to pass the turn.’

unexpected income.

“…Then, now for the third time. Come on.”

Auril Gavis urged me in a voice that seemed to be draining me.

It’s annoying.

” The witch is…”

I corrected myself with a smile

.

It would be more correct to refer to it more precisely.

“Is the land witch really dead?”

It may not be an urgent question right away, but it is something that should be addressed at least once.

***

The land witch

. That name, which I have no choice but to hear countless times in my life.

Come to think of it, I have always been curious.

How much of the stories I know known to the public about the ‘witch’ are true.

“…From the first question There’s no way to get over one thing easily after starting, right?”

“What’s the answer?”

Gavis, who was supposed to be at my urging, gave an answer with a bitter smile.

“She’s alive.” Wow,

really …?

Not only does this

mean that the royal family intentionally hid the fact…

‘There was no Easter egg or anything that hinted at that in the game.’

The creator of the game is this old man.

But he knew it but didn’t include it?

The man who smacked all unnecessary information and settings and said ‘Tutorial completed’ at the end? After all,

this is not natural.

Rather, this kind of story is heard by the player’s ears It’s credible that he intentionally hid it in the hope that he wouldn’t go.

‘Then why did I want to keep this a secret?’

I’ve been speculating for a while, but I don’t know yet.

There are few clues.

However, I have a hunch that if I dig this up, I will be able to figure out what the royal family or this old man’s ultimate goal is. In short,

this question gave me a minimum guideline.

I thought so . It was when I was cleaning up.

“Whoops, then it’s finally my turn.”

The old man, who had gone through a long period of endurance, burst into laughter.

What the hell are you going to ask?

Amidst the uneasiness, the old man opened his mouth.

“You are going to Earth. Do you want to go back?”

The intention of the question is clear.

Although I expressed it in a roundabout way, there must be something else I am really curious about. Do

I have the will to open the door to the abyss?

Yes, this is what I really wanted to ask. “I don’t

know .”

“I don’t know…” Auril Gavis

laughed

as if he was confused, then changed his expression as if nothing was wrong.

And it wasn’t like that . “I want you to make a choice quickly.”

”

Why?”

“Because it would be good for both of you.”

was over.

Then it was my turn again.

Without wasting time, I immediately asked,

“Did witches’ poison really exist?” ” …

were you

interested in her in

the first place?” While sharing, I just thought that the ‘witch’ might be the core of this story.

“Whoa…….”

Auril Gavis, who took a sip from a cup of tea, replied as if telling a story from the distant past.

“That’s it . It’s not at all a made-up story. The world almost came to an end because of her. If it weren’t for the existence of the labyrinth, it would have come to an end.”

The light illuminated by the jewel is green.

Hmm, then, is it really because of the passage of time that the outside world became normal?

With that thought in mind, I moved on to the next question.

“Witch. If you were alive, where would you be now?”

It was the only subjective question among the questions asked today.

Since I didn’t know anything, I decided that I couldn’t answer this as a multiple-choice question.

However, Auril Gavis was mean.

“She is where everyone’s wishes are headed. .”

Then, that damn riddle way.

I sighed and checked the jewelry.

Seeing that the green light was on, I thought I’d just get over it, even if I took the blame… “Are

you really going to be like this?”

When I asked with my eyes wide open at the thought of trying something, Auril Gavis put his hand on the jewel again and said, ”

But really, it’s hard to find a better explanation than this.”

The green light came on again.

I don’t think I’ll change my attitude if I try more.

Therefore, I just threw away my lingering feelings.

‘Well, one thing was confirmed.’

Auril Gavis knows the witch’s location,

and doesn’t want to tell me about it.

Put simply…

My knowledge of the witch is likely to contradict Auril Gavis’s purpose.

” It’s already the third time.”

As if these questions weren’t too difficult, the old man laughs leisurely.

‘That feels bad.’

Maybe it’s time to check it out.

Maybe it’s more important to me than the witch or whatever I asked before.

”

Let ‘s try it

.”

Silence

passed

.

_

_

_

_ What kind of person is S.

“Heh heh, he’s asking a difficult question again.”

The old man’s characteristic roaring laughter ended the short silence.

“You answered ‘I don’t know’ to the question if you wanted to return to Earth earlier, right? That would also mean that life here wasn’t too bad.”

It wasn’t an answer to a question.

I didn’t say much, just stared at it without answering.

“What is that look in your eyes? If you are, don’t you know Sometimes you have to ignore your feelings in order to achieve your goals.”

I agree, but again, this wasn’t an answer to the question I asked.

“If it’s too difficult to answer this question, I’ll change the question.

” Auril Gavis was right and agreed.

“Oh, would you?”

I nodded and changed the question,

since the question just seemed hard to answer.

A little more specific.

“Auril Gavis you are you Do you feel any remorse for the many ‘evil spirits’ who were dragged here to die because of their greed?”

Again , no

answer came back

.

It

was just when I was thinking about that.

“Haha! Hahahahaha!”

Auril Gavis laughed out loud.

It was a very foreign sight to the viewer.

It sent goose bumps down my spine without even realizing it

.

.At

that moment, the air around him became heavy.

Tuk.

Soon, Auril Gavis opened his mouth, placing his hand on the jewel placed in the middle of the table.

In a friendly voice as before

. Of course it’s sad I also feel a sense of responsibility. I will probably live with this feeling for the rest of my life and atone for it.”

As she said that, Aurill Gavis smiled.

“How can this be an answer?” “…

Enough .”

I confirmed it.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

very bright red light was flowing from the jewel.
