Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian - Chapter 290
Episode 290 Big Game (2)
Excitement.
The beat cycle of the low-pitched heart gradually shortens.
“……Are you Gavis?’
A being who might be able to answer all the questions I’ve had since the day I woke up in this body. “Really…
did you make that game?”
I’m going to answer this far.”
Soon he nodded.
“That’s right. I made that game.”
Huh,
yes, it’s really you. Assuming
you’re not lying, of course. What’s your name?”
He asked as if he would ask for my name since I asked him.
But…
‘Probably the same intention as me.’
Names are important.
Especially in the spiritual world where the appearance is meaningless.
As you can see from the fact that the ruin scholar was in the form of a child, here we have a figure that we consider to be ourselves.
The moment we reveal our names, anonymity disappears.
From the outside There will be a means to find me.
That’s why…
“Lee Han-soo.”
Excluding Lee Baek-ho, I reveal my real name, which I haven’t told anyone.
Of course, the old man wasn’t satisfied with that.
“Oh, you must have been born in Korea? But what I asked for was the name you use here.”
“The name you use here…….”
Okay, I knew that would come out.
” Nivellez Enche.”
That’s right?
I’ve seen Lee Baek-ho who can tell the difference between truth and lies, so I deliberately mixed the trick.
Could it be Lee Lee who made the round table? I
judged that it wouldn’t be strange if the person who made the jewel, which was the core system of the assembly, had that ability. ‘Because there’s nothing wrong with being careful in the first place…’
After
hearing
my answer, he stared at me with a meaningful
look
. Then it’s your turn now?”
He stared at me vaguely, then announced the end of his turn. It
was complicated in my head.
What
on earth should I ask first? But
…
‘Okay, let’s ask that first.’ I picked one of the list of
questions I had
in
mind: ”
Why
did you call us to this world?
” is special.”
Instead of answering, Auril Gavis said strangely.
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve met a few people from Earth, but most of them thought they were just in the game.”
Oh, that’s what it sounded like.
Well, I used to think that way too.
However, I experienced so many things here and got so many clues. But I can’t still have that illusion.
This is an independent world.
If my predictions are correct, [Dungeons and Stones] It must be a game made based on this world.
” So what’s
the answer?
”
The reason why it had to be brought in.
“Because you are the only one who can open the door to the abyss.”
“What? Abyssal Gate? What the hell is that about…”
Auril Gavis cut me off.
“Isn’t that a rule of thumb, one question at a time?”
“Ah…”
Yes, that’s right
.
Soon after I passed the turn, he grinned and opened his mouth.
“Hey……”
“…….”
“Did you use the record fragment stone?”
The wrinkled old man’s eyes were warm. ***
The Fragment of Records. An heirloom passed down from generation to
generation
by the family of the lord of Noark, and a treasure with the absurd ability of time reversal
.
My heart skipped a beat the moment it was mentioned.
He didn’t even think about it. He didn’t even think that
the question right after asking my name would be a question that would penetrate all of my circumstances
.
“It’s already too late to calmly ask what the ‘record fragment stone’ is.
The other side must have noticed that I was flustered.
“You can answer slowly,”
Auril Gavis said, but I hurriedly finished my judgment and asked again.
“Why did you think that?”
Of course, I know that asking like this is tantamount to a half affirmation.
But what can I do here. It’s
just someone who doesn’t seem to work even if they lie
… There must be a reason you don’t know.’
Auril Gavis is at a stage where he is almost certain,
otherwise he would not have been able to specifically mention something like ‘record fragment.
‘ ”
But
you’re too strong now that it’s been a year. You two were not among those I invited here. Three, although you are strong, you are not strong enough to invade my territory without permission.” ”
Just to that extent …? ”
To understand this level of contradiction, there is only ‘that’.”
No, I can’t understand it well even if I say that… “So,
can I consider the answer to the question to be positive?”
I just admitted it coolly.
It’s unfortunate that I was exposed in the second question, but what can I do here? I
have no choice but to do well from now on .”
What year did you come from?”
“The question could have been asked only once.”
“Oh, I did. Go ahead.”
He seemed in a good mood.
“So, what else do you want to know? What is the door to the abyss? Are the witches alive? Well, or you might be wondering if the outside is hell, as the king said.”
A voice that seemed to answer anything you wanted.
‘It’s strangely awkward.’
Maybe it’s because of the way he coldly kicked out the other members earlier
?
I wondered if it would be wise to finish the question and answer session at this point and ask to be sent outside.
There was no rational reason, but it was never something to be laughed at. In my experience, when I ignored this kind of intuition, big things happened.
But. ……
‘If it’s not now, I might never know.’
It is undeniable that it is too precious time to pass up simply because it is uncomfortable.
This old man must have all the answers.
Soon after, I finished my thoughts.
‘Let’s cut out all the small things and check only the important ones.’
“Are you from this place?
If so, how did you move in dimension?
Are there companions who share the same will, and why was this spiritual world created?
After swallowing many other questions, I asked,
“Why are you trying to open the door to the abyss? Motivation,
one of the easiest elements to understand a human being. What does
this
human do for
?
I would have done it.”
“Don’t be so serious. I just wondered if you should ask what the door to the abyss is first.”
His question was reasonable.
It was just not reasonable for me.
“Haha, I guess I should know what kind of personality you have.” ”
So. What’s the answer to your question?”
“I thought I’d answer pretty much anything you asked, but I think this is a little unfair.” “You mean
you won’t answer?”
“I don’t quite know who you are yet. Everything has an order.”
I didn’t expect it to come out like this.
So, should we just end the Q&A here?
That’s when I thought about it.
“How about this instead? If you open the door to the abyss, you can return to your original world. It’s not what you asked, but isn’t this enough?”
Auril Gavis said that as a reward.
At first glance, when I asked what the door to the abyss was, I thought he was trying to tell me this……. ‘
This is all. I don’t think so.’
I think he hid something really important.
If the Abyss Gate’s only feature is ‘return’, there’s no reason he’d call us
here .
If it’s cool, then I can just pass on things that I can’t evade in the future.’
“Okay, now it’s your turn.”
At this point, he passed the turn casually as if he was satisfied,
and quickly exchanged questions.
“What year are you from?”
“154 years.”
“20 years later.
” I inquired about the details, and the same was true of me.
“Are you hostile to the royal family?”
“…
I can see that.” I want you to be clear.”
“It’s an adversarial relationship.”
Um, you
mean ?
Who gave you the invitation?”
“An evil spirit from Earth nicknamed GM.”
“……GM?”
“I don’t know anything else.”
“I see. Now it’s your turn.”
“Why is the royal family hiding something from the outside world?” ”
Well, after 20 years, it must have been known that far?”
“The royal family firmly believes that this is the way to protect this world.” ”
It
‘s not because of a simple desire for
power
.
” Fifteen times.”
“…You’re lying.”
Pretty straight forward.
But one thing was certain:
the real lie detector was running.
“I don’t understand, anyway. Why would you lie in a place like this instead of something else…….”
Gavis, who will soon blur his words.
And as if he realized something.
“……Original! Could it be that you cleared the original version I made?”
He raised his voice in excitement.
‘Damn it.’
That’s right,
the moment I say ‘no’ here, it will be another answer
.
It’s absurd, but what can I do?
Isn’t it a world where strong guys do it all?
A small child like me should endure it.
“…….”
It was a time when I couldn’t even say ‘no’ and kept my mouth shut.
After all, there’s no way the record fragment would react to someone who came over as a trashy mass-produced product…!”
The old man, who took my silence as a positive, began to mutter something in an emotional voice.
Listening to it, something feels off . It was strange.
“Tell me, how did you wake up? how long did it take No, what was he originally doing?” Should
I
say that the elderly seem to be desperate
all of a sudden
? There’s no way you’ll feel thirsty here…” ”
So you’re saying I’m lying?”
I took off my mask and frowned, and the old man quickly made a cup and filled it with water.
Hmm, this is a little ambiguous.
“Cider.”
“……Cider?”
“I wish it was cider, not water.”
“Ah! You mean
that?”
The old man quickly changed the liquid in the cup. It was clear
, but it was
cider that was sure to bubble up from the bottom. Unlike
the other , I felt the
refreshing sensation of carbonic acid in my throat .
Anyway, if you’ve finished drinking, I’ll answer you now. After 20 years, will there be many people like you who have broken the original?” A
smile came to my lips at that question without even realizing it.
Even so, the instinct of a barbarian who is sensitive to ranks was telling me. I don’t know, but…….
“Hmm, is that what you’re curious about?”
Maybe I’ll be the first one from now on?
