Episode 502: The Age of Exploration (3)
After the butterfly’s turn, the discussion at the round table continued.
“[Dungeon & Stone]’s cheat version was created by someone other than Auril Gavis.”
The wolf spewed out information that would lessen the hostility of the players towards him.
“How about this? Phisht. In this exploration, Noark succeeded in defeating the 8th floor lord.”
The clown also passed the turn safely with the information that Noark was growing rapidly.
My turn came that way.
“You can experience a special event when you catch the boss of Skull Island and reach the 10th floor.”
With everyone’s attention focused, he ended the round by spitting out one of the information he had.
“…I’m really looking forward to it because it’s a special event. Of course, for that event to happen, the war will have to end. Fisit.”
It was a game information that had been out for a while, but the members didn’t find it strange at all.
The fact that we got the green light with game information in the first place is just that it is an unknown and valuable information…….
“Now, let’s all try harder this time!”
Members who have been through me for a long time thought that I came out like this because the information on this wheel was no fun.
“So… is it my turn now?”
So, starting again in the turn of the queen, a new wheel began, and I also listened to the information coming out in turn and imprinted it in my head.
Among them were quite shocking information and several stories that would be helpful in the future.
There was no concentration at all.
It was for a simple reason.
Mischa Karlstein is a traitor.
That too, from my point of view.
Those words were echoing in my head.
After two laps, it’s over.
Even at this moment when the third wheel is slowly moving towards the end.
‘……What does that mean?’
Misha is a traitor?
Now I wanted to openly share my feelings and hold hands. 이백호 그 새끼가 또 뭔 수작을 부려둔 건가?
Could this be the Plan B?
All kinds of possibilities swirl in my head, unorganized.
‘I think I need to hear more details.’
It was the Butterfly Mask that referred to this information.
However, contrary to my expectations, there was no mention of Misha on the second or third wheel.
In other words, in order to hear additional stories, it means that I have to take action first…
“What are you all so surprised about?
How can I float naturally?
If he suddenly asked why Misha was a traitor here, he would surely be suspicious.
Since it was once rumored that ‘Lion = Bjorn Yandel’ was a round table, he had to be careful with his words and actions.
“…….”
“…….”
Ah, it’s already my turn.
When I woke up, my attention was focused on me in the strange silence.
‘…Let’s watch just one more time.’
I decided to take action first if there was no mention of Misha on the next wheel, and I opened my mouth.
“You can select an active effect when defeating the Lord of the Sky with one person.”
It’s hard to find out, but even if you know it, it’s one of those kinds of information that doesn’t have much use.
Ah-ah-
The green light came out and a brief silence was in the round table.
Of course it wasn’t long.
“I…was it possible to catch the layer lord alone…?”
“Well, if it’s a 100x mode… I think it’s possible somehow…”
“Do you think the fishet lion would have held it in that mode and said this?”
As it was information related to the hierarchical monarch, there were no objections. No, honestly, even if I use fermented soybean paste (fermented soybean paste), if the green light comes on, everyone will understand that there must be some important secret hidden.
‘Then it’s the queen’s turn again?’
Thinking so, I glanced at the car.
“At this point, I think I’ve heard everything I’ve been told this month, and I’ll stop here for today.”
The Queen has announced her absence.
Other members noticed this and started to join in.
Unfortunately, the biggest cause was me.
“…well, the lion looks bored too.”
Because he was thinking about something else, he stayed still throughout the meeting and filled his turn with game information, which seemed to have led to such a misunderstanding.
“I’m sorry…… I thought you would be a little happy if I told you that I had captured the Lord of Hope. Fisit…” He
seemed disappointed that he had not been able to attract my attention this time even though he had worked hard to prepare. clown.
“Well… to Mr. Saja, something like this would be nothing.”
Afterwards, the clown showed a sullen expression, but promised me that he would come back with a funny story next time.
After that, I can’t incite them to go to the next wheel in this atmosphere.
“…….”
Finally, this meeting was finished.
***
The day after I went to the community.
After a good night’s sleep, when I woke up in the afternoon, Versil Gowland was visiting and waiting for me.
“What’s the matter?”
While somewhat predicting the reason for the visit, he pretended not to know, and Versil asked for a private meeting, saying he had something to say.
“I… I don’t know how you’re going to sound like this, but… I got information that Mr. Mischa Karlstein might be a traitor.”
Yes, as expected, as soon as you woke up because of this, you ran right to me.
“betrayer?”
“…I’m not sure. No, I’m sure it’s true… but I don’t know the details.”
Saying that, Versil asked me if I would reconsider joining Misha, and I firmly refused.
“I can’t make that decision when I don’t know the details.”
“As expected… is that so…?”
“But I’m not going to ignore your insecurities. I’ll take a look. So, could you please look into it a bit more?”
“…Okay. I’ll find out more.”
“request.”
Okay, so from the next round table, he will wear a fox mask and actively seek out information……
I tried it first, so the risk of revealing his identity was further reduced.
“Then I’ll go now. Call me anytime if you need anything.”
“okay.”
Later, when Versil left and evening fell, a letter arrived.
“Mister! I got a strange letter, but I think you should check it!”
A letter that Erwen took out of the mailbox.
A white tiger was drawn on the outside, and looking at the contents that had already been ripped open, there were letters written on it that did not exist in this world.
[My brother asked for it.]
What if I write this bastard in Korean and send it?
What if other kids see it?
While muttering inwardly, I eagerly read how to get out of the city.
‘…It’s more complicated than I thought.’
It seemed impossible to memorize and burn it in a short period of time, so I folded it up and put it in a subspace.
It was always nice to have options.
It would be the opposite if the variable increases.
It is better to prepare for something separate from what you do not want to believe.
So…
“Emily, can you find out about Mischa?”
“What do you mean?”
Afterwards, after explaining to Amelia what had happened at the Round Table, he ordered an investigation.
“I’ll try, but there’s a good chance they’ll get caught watching you all day. It wasn’t easy at that time.”
“Was that enough? Looking at the essence you ate, you would be much better off that way, right?”
“If they really approached us with a purpose of some kind, they might be hiding another essence.”
“…Then don’t get too close. It’s enough just to keep an eye on it.”
“I will.”
Then, as for Misha, Amelia will investigate as far as possible without crossing the line…….
I just spent the day resting, and from the next day, I continued my busy days again.
I stopped by the Holy Land to sell the land one more time, and to get some advice, I went to the former tribal chief and heard about the tribal meeting that had previously taken place.
I also met Raven once more.
“The record stone…? Are you referring to the fragment stone of the record? Gabrillius’ legacy.”
“Whether it’s the Record Stone or the Fragment of the Record, it’s fine. If you have any books or information related to either, give it to me. Don’t look too obvious to find out, it might get you strange attention.”
“Yes. I will. By the way, Mr. Yandel’s preparations for the exploration are going well…?”
“It’s progressing without a problem. Well, you’ll know for sure when you go into the labyrinth this time.”
“Is that so…? Since nothing has been revealed yet. You really have to explore, right? Versil Gowland… what about that woman?”
“What do you mean?”
“What do you mean! Originally, a mage was more important than anything else in an expedition like this! Last time I saw that woman, she didn’t seem to know much about history…
” I can trust it. I can fill in the gaps.”
“Is that so…….”
After meeting with Raven, he convened all the clan members three times a week and had time.
The ostensible purpose is to match the newly joined Misha and the existing members before the exploration.
“……So far, I haven’t been able to find anything out of the ordinary.”
After the convocation, I always heard the report from Amelia, but so far I haven’t been able to detect any strange behavior from Misha.
Time passed just like that.
“…It will be a richer exploration than ever.”
Support materials have been sent from Melves.
Combat and support scrolls, various types of potions, numbered items dedicated to searching, and so on.
The items were diverse enough to continue exploring in any environment, whether it was mountains, water, or fire, and the quality was top-notch.
‘This alone must have cost a lot of money…’ This
part shows how much expectations Melves has for the ‘hidden area’.
It was a little burdensome, but I thought it would be enough if I achieved that much, and I devoted myself to preparing for the exploration more and more.
And now that those days have continued.
“Bjorn…….”
“It’s not Bjorn, it’s the tribal chief. The first elder.”
“Oh, it was a holy place, right? I’ll be careful.”
As the sun went down and I walked through the forest path of the dark holy land, dozens of young warriors appeared along with a brightly lit clearing.
I grinned and shouted.
“Congratulations! Young warriors! As of today, you guys will leave the Holy Land and be reborn as true warriors!”
Looks like…….
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
It seems that there are no newbies this time.
***
The era evolves differently every day.
If you look at the history of mankind on Earth, that era will also be the modern era. The
200 years since the industrial revolution took place has achieved the most explosive development in human history.
What about the barbarians?
At what time did this tribe make the most explosive development? Could it have been achieved?
I can say with certainty,
‘Now.’
By the way, the proof is this vacant lot.
That’s because the dialogue in the tutorial has changed.
“Now, come out one by one and choose the weapon and armor that suits you!”
Numerous weapons and armor on the armor stand
. It’s only a possible main dish, and the basic composition is much improved
. Gaiters are not worn like that, but like this.”
“Oh, thank you… for the first time.”
Instead of wearing just one breastplate and sending it to the labyrinth, all attached armors are provided.
Also, the bag contains a compass, a canteen, and Despite the potion, it is full of various exploration supplies.
‘One million stones per person.’
In fact, the amount of money per warrior has more than tripled, but there was no problem. In
our holy land, money
comes out by digging the ground. It’s still in the early stages, but if I keep going like this, I’ll
soon
be able to complete the virtuous cycle I’ve been hoping for
. I didn’t say, ”
Because there are always idols for adolescents.
” You’ll get used to it soon.”
“No, but—.”
“It’s not a choice! If you are a warrior, you must wear armor! Just look at the chief!”
“…….”
“If you want to become a great warrior, wear armor!”
There are no warriors in our tribe who look down on armor anymore.
“…quickly get the money. I’ll have to collect it and buy some armor made of titanium!”
In particular, the situation where my favorite titanium has become almost like a symbol of a proficient warrior.
“Go! To the place where your destiny awaits!”
After the supply of basic equipment was over, with the help of Versil, who was waiting outside the Holy Land, they tied three people together, cast a binding magic, and drove them all into the labyrinth. “…I hope everyone returns safely
. ”
“Don’t worry. Einar. As much as the Mage Tower designated the heart as a forbidden magic ingredient, fewer predators would target the heart.” “Isn’t it…?
”
The one who came back alive even when he didn’t wear shoes properly is the barbarian
. If it’s good enough, it’s worth aiming for
survival . After confirming that all the young warriors
had entered the portal, I quickly brushed off my thoughts.
With
this, my role as tribal chief is
over
.
Call me Captain from now on.”
Now it was time to go exploring.
