Chapter 470
Episode 470 Pia (2)
The chancellor of Lapdonia and the second-in-command.
The Marquis of Tercerion has been a long-standing concern of mine.
After all, it was that old man who tricked me into sending me to the suicide expedition with a smile on his face.
It was obvious that he would look at me like a thorn in his eye.
‘In the midst of that, there were a lot of things I couldn’t understand.’
As a representative example, there is my ‘Seungjak’.
As a marquis with great power, if he wanted to stop it, he would have been able to stop it.
My victory was granted and proceeded so easily.
In addition, it is suspicious that he made his daughter, Ragnar, proceed with the ‘evil spirit incorporation policy’.
The Marquis was a questionable foe.
But…
“I’ll try to keep it as brief as possible.”
After listening to Lee Baek-ho’s words, my doubts were cleared to some extent.
“First of all, the Marquis announced that Bjorn Yandel was an evil spirit and implemented the policy of incorporation into the evil spirit. Actually, it’s because of me.”
Lee Baek-ho planned to use my fame to send the demons up to the sun.
It was an absurd, yet plausible plan.
Didn’t Ragnar’s awareness improve because of me and he became sincere about the policy?
There is no one more qualified than me to spread the logic that there are good evil spirits.
“Why are you trying to make the evil spirit come up to the sun?”
“Wouldn’t it be possible for the players to grow together when the power of the players grows?”
Lee Baek-ho’s goal is to overthrow the royal family.
Was it a long thought that in order to penetrate the 10th floor, the royal family had to be destroyed first?
“Then the Marquis? There is no reason for the Marquis to grant that request.”
“Oh, that’s it? I threatened you.”
“…Threat?”
“Yes. The Prime Minister’s son is also a player.”
Here I am genuinely surprised.
Somehow, the name of the royal family was sold out so easily.
I don’t think there was such a background.
‘A lineal blood relative of a prestigious family starts from the beginning? Is the balance true…’
It’s a story that players who started from Noark will faint from stomachaches when they hear it.
It’s not something I’m concerned about right now.
“Even the Marquis seemed to be in trouble if his son was revealed to be an evil spirit, so the threat worked.”
In response to Lee Baek-ho’s threat, the marquis tried to protect his son.
“It must have taken time. There are no other children. If the heir disappears, only the marquis will remain. What will the relatives think?”
“I don’t know, but I’ll try to calculate how many times I have to wait for succession.”
“That’s right. No one will attempt to assassinate the Marquis, but the entire faction will be shaken.”
“I still don’t understand. Wouldn’t it be better to just give it to another relative than to give it to the evil spirits?”
“I told you. What the Marquis needs is time.
This was information I didn’t really want to know.
How old is that gentleman?
Is this a last minute spurt?
‘Maybe bringing Ragnar was a kind of plan B…’
When I was thinking about that, Lee Baek-ho suddenly apologized.
“Anyway, I’m sorry bro. It’s probably because of me that the Marquis sent you on the expedition.”
“…What are you talking about?”
“If my brother comes back alive and it is known that he is not an evil spirit, there will be a problem in proceeding with the policy of incorporation into the evil spirit that I requested, right?
However, the attempt failed and Bjorn Yandel announced that he had returned alive in front of everyone.
“After that incident, he contacted me saying he had no choice.”
It was ambiguous to say it was the marquis’s fault, so Lee Baek-ho thought so too and asked to remove Bjorn Yandel from the future plan.
Isn’t it announced that it’s not an evil spirit anyway?
It was judged that it could no longer be used as a card.
But…
“At that time, he asked me if I could kill him. I can’t tell you the details, but I think he’ll turn into a big problem in the future.”
I was genuinely appalled.
Aside from the fact that he was plotting such an insidious thing as soon as he returned.
“At that time, I said I was just thinking about it. The conditions the Marquis suggested weren’t too bad.”
“Is that the reason why I said that I was glad that I knew now…?”
“Ahaha… You’re really quick to notice.”
……I was about to die.
Unbeknownst to me.
“But in the end, you came to know that he’s your brother, right? I’ve already told the Marquis properly. The request is a refusal. And don’t even think about touching Bjorn Yandel in the future.”
“…….”
“How about it? I think I made the right deposit at this amount.”
It was something I had to admit.
Doesn’t that mean that the Marquis can’t hurt me directly, at least until the son’s problem is resolved?
‘I wonder if it’s less than an hour……’
It was an unexpected income, but I opened my mouth as calmly as possible.
“So? What else is there?”
The moment you are satisfied, your share is reduced.
***
Afterwards, Lee Baek-ho confidently talked about the options he could give me in addition to the down payment he had made.
However, there was no stalling unexpectedly.
“If there’s someone you want to kill, just tell me. I’ll throw you all away!”
“Really? Then kill the marquis.”
“Uh, that’s a bit…… Even if you kill that bastard, he will be resurrected in the palace.”
“…Resurrection? What do you mean by that?”
“Ah, you don’t know that. Is it because it’s not in the game? Anyway, there is such a royal treasure, but it’s in the hands of the Marquis right now.”
“Then how about Count Alminus?”
“It’s difficult because he’s always with that dragon next to him. He’s a kid who specializes in defense…… I think he’ll be able to break through if he has enough time, but he’s a bit in the city…” What is this kid
? Is?
He said it confidently.
“So who can you kill?”
I thought it would be quicker to ask this, so I asked as kindly as possible, but for some reason Lee Baek-ho lowered his head and babbled. “No
, really… The kids hyung said are weird… Why did you pick only those kids…”
The soon-to-be-recovered boy opened his mouth vigorously again.
“Ah! Then how about this? I heard you’re playing the Dreadfear Raid? I might be able to help—”
“I do not need.”
“yes?”
“I’m sure the attention will be focused, but is there anything I can tell you that you and I are close?”
“Uh… Wouldn’t it be okay if I disguised my identity?”
“It’s okay. I can catch it without you anyway.”
“…….”
Lee Baek-ho was speechless.
I thought it would be better to just say with my mouth the support I want to receive.
“Money?”
“How much do you need?”
“A billion stones?”
“That kind of money, even me…”
“Then what about 500 million stones?”
“I don’t have much in hand right now…”
“……100 million stones.”
“……I had a lot of money to spend these days.”
What’s wrong with this guy, he doesn’t have more money than me?
“Then give me some equipment. What number item do you have right now?”
“Uh… they’re all core items, so I can’t give them away.”
what the hell does he want to do?
No money, no equipment.
“Baekho, do you know what a water rocket is?”
“…….”
Lee Baekho didn’t say anything.
“What about essence?
“Hyung… It’s a battlefield right now…?”
“Baekho, aren’t you the type to always look for reasons why things go wrong first?”
“…Ah, okay! I’ll try. I’ll dig it up from the next entry!”
Yes, why are you pretending to be weak when you can?
‘I didn’t expect to be able to skip Bellarios Nogada like this.’
It’s not bad income.
Now it’s time to move on to the next option.
“Baekho, there are a few things I want to ask you, will you answer them?”
“Yes! Anything!”
“How did you find out I was Bjorn Yandel?”
“That’s it? Thanks to the GM. The GM called me as soon as Ben was released that day. I heard you threatened to release my Ben?”
Holy shit… did that happen?
“I was really surprised to hear that. Was Hansoo-hyung that much?
Even in front of Lee Baek-ho, GM generously displayed its unique hogugi and leaked information.
“I hear you wear a mask or something like a detective at the round table?”
Starting with my activities as an investigator at the Round Table—.
“It was fine up to that point. But suddenly he asked me?”
It blew even the most important thing.
“Why hyung didn’t show up for more than two years? What are the two of us up to? Turn around and ask me…”
Lee Baek-ho grinned.
“That’s where the feeling came from.”
It was only natural that he noticed my true identity.
Bjorn Yandel’s comeback fits perfectly with the long hiatus that Saza had.
In fact, even at the round table, there were people who doubted me because of that.
“I see.”
Hearing more about GM made me feel sick, so I moved on to the next question.
“Then what was the ruiner doing when the fire broke out in the ecliptic? They disappeared together.”
It was something I was curious about for a while.
What happened between the two at that time, so that they became friends now?
“Oh is that it?”
Lee Baek-ho shrugged and replied.
“It’s nothing special. He says he’s an evil spirit from the other world, so he said that his goal is to open the door to the abyss, so let’s be friends from now on? We still needed a wizard, so he agreed.”
“Oh! really?”
I answered as nonchalantly as possible.
It was for a simple reason.
Just like Lee Baek-ho noticed when I lied the other day.
I could feel it instinctively.
“Yes. I was worried because I was old and had a few teeth, but I think I have some skills.”
Baekho Lee.
Why the hell is this guy
“Hmm?”
Are you lying to me?
***
A good liar hides a lie within the truth.
According to that logic, most of what Lee Baek-ho said now would be true.
Therefore…
“What are your plans for the future? It’s simple! My brother and I join forces to be the king’s family or the labyrinth! Ah, this is a joke. As for what to do first—”
I asked any question, and while Lee Baek-ho answered, I took apart and analyzed in detail what he said earlier. [
He said he was an evil spirit from another world.]
First of all, this is a fact I know.
[ Is it your goal to open the door to the abyss too?]
This is the same.
[He said that we should be friends from now on?]
It must be true that he asked for cooperation.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for the two of them to move together.
Yes, if that’s the case
… I just agreed because I needed a wizard.]
This is the only candidate left.
Based on this, it can be concluded as follows:
‘Lee Baek-ho teamed up with a ruin scholar not because he needed a ‘magician’.’
In other words, there was another reason.
The important thing is that Lee Baek-ho hid it from me.
Why
?
Seeing Lee Baek-ho’s clumsy appearance, I was alerted for a moment before I could even unlock my heart.
Lee Baek-ho is a really formidable bastard.
‘What else are you hiding?’
Come to think of it, Lee Baek-ho gave me almost nothing.
At best, I only got a promise to ‘gather the essence’ by harassing him.
Should I add that he would return Misha?
‘… He’s a guy with a lot of plans in many ways. Did he really want to help me in the first place?’
I really don’t know.
” The royal family is the biggest problem with this plan. All the players are still hiding, right? That’s why it’s hard to assemble from the outside, and I’ll have to get them all up on the sunny side—.” Is
Lee Baek-ho my enemy
or
ally ?
There was an hour limit.
“Hyung, if you meet the GM later, ask me about that. Didn’t he also take the early pill at first? Please let me know if there is any way to increase the stay time.”
“Okay.”
“Yes. Then let’s go! See you next time!”
In the end, I didn’t even ask what the ‘record stone’ was until Lee Baek-ho left. It’s a little
hard to say this, but it’s going well right now.
After receiving it, I decided it was OK.
“Did you talk about your brother well?”
After Lee Baek-ho left, I spent time talking with Hyun-byeol who was waiting outside.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t be too close with him. I’m not a trustworthy kid.”
“I know.”
“…That’s fortunate. Actually, it was a test that I asked about my brother.”
“…A test?”
“Yes. Doesn’t this guy give off a nuance as if he knows about his brother’s identity? I tried once how heavy the mouth is. I didn’t say anything in the end, as if I noticed something.”
“…I see.”
It’s hard to believe that the test was the purpose, but there was no proof, so I just assumed it was so and moved on.
And how much more has passed since then.
Byeol, I’ll be on my way.”
I slowly finished my conversation and got up from my seat.
“You seem to be going at this time every time?”
That’s because the round table is always open at this time.
“Then, see you next time.”
“Yes.”
Chat room After leaving, I immediately entered the round table.
I put on my usual navy blue suit and put a mask on my face.
Then, with this, all preparations are over.
I
trudge through the empty hallway and head to the main room where the meeting is held.
But this What else?
“Ha ha ha! Long time no see, Fox-Kong!” In the room of
the
Round Table, which we finally arrived, there were masks that we hadn’t seen before, besides the existing members.
That ‘s how—.
“Oh, you’re the Lion?
Hello…”
Three people.
