Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 571 Last Community (1)

A customizing room with dozens of costumes and even more masks displayed on the walls.

As soon as he opens his eyes there, he puts on a navy suit as usual and puts a lion mask on his head.

There was no waste of time in the process.

That’s because I’m so used to it now.

Since I come here every month, I can find clothes and masks and put them on even with my eyes closed.

“Is this the last…?”

I feel sorry for something, but also sad.

In fact, recently, the information from the Round Table has not been as important to me as before.

“…”

For some reason, even after putting on all the costumes, I stood blankly and looked over the masks and costumes on display.

As I was doing that, one thing came to my mind.

In fact, I had almost forgotten about it.

“They said it was the fate most similar to…”

Upon first entering the Warden of the Round Table, new members instinctively choose the mask that most closely resembles their destiny.

Then why was I the mask of a male lion?

It’s much better than goblins or orcs, but I’m not sure why I chose this mask.

‘Actually, I’m more of a tiger than a lion.’

After choosing this mask, I thought about whether there was a clue as it had been for quite some time, but nothing came to mind right away.

So I just moved on to the next one.

Why is a fox a fox?

Why are goblins goblins?

What are deer antlers in the first place?

It wasn’t a representation of a deer, it was just an ordinary mask with deer antlers on it.

“…I don’t know.”

I didn’t have time to stay like this any longer in this room, so I slowly pulled away and went out into the hallway. And I thought as I walked past the red carpet that I had walked on several times.

If my colleagues came to the round table, what mask would they choose?

‘Einar seems to be a golden dog…’

He thought of all the members of Clan Anavada, including Amelia and Erwen, and even the mask of his former colleague Raven or the dwarf Rotmiller.

It wasn’t my intention, but Misha was the last.

‘Misha…’

was much easier than other characters.

It’s probably not a mask that would suit a kid who’s an enemy of the Cat tribe.

‘It’s closer to a dog than a cat…’

Of course, it’s not just an ordinary puppy.

I think the dog mask, which was full of scars displayed in the farthest corner, would suit it.

The problem is that some of those scars seem to have been left behind by me.

‘stop.’

At this point, I stopped thinking and stopped.

“Fisit… you’re here too. I was relieved. I’m afraid I won’t be able to say my last goodbye.”

One two three four five six seven eight nine

…

Fortunately, all the masks I had seen every month had arrived.

***

Antlers Crescent Moon Fox Clown.

From the original members who kept their seats from the time I first entered the round table.

Then, in the middle of the goblins I learned while returning, the queen who infiltrated with the GM’s special order, and the unidentified trio composed of the black masked wolf butterfly who joined at once relatively recently.

Everyone is sitting in their seats and looking at me.

“….”

Since it’s the last round table, are you waiting for someone to say something?

I don’t know, but I kept the concept until the end and headed to my seat ignoring their eyes.

coo-!

Usually, when the door is closed and I am seated, the rally begins, but today was a little different.

Everyone had a conversation rather than starting the meeting right away.

“This is really the last time… It feels like lightning has fallen.”

“I will…. There won’t be anything like this from next month, right?”

“Well, I hope you can sleep comfortably. The next day was always difficult.”

Their murmurs were deeply permeated with regret.

Even to the Queen, who is a member of the management team.

“…It’s a pity. There are so many things we haven’t figured out yet.”

Soon after, the queen showed her emotions briefly, and the goblin, who had been watching her closely, asked cautiously.

“Um… Then, wouldn’t it be fine if you didn’t close the door?”

“That sounds like it would be difficult. There is a reason for this, too.”

“What’s going on… can you hear me?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Crescent Moon. It’s hard to tell you the details. But I can only say one thing… that it is an incident that has nothing to do with our intentions.”

“…Did the royal family really put pressure on them?”

“I will not comment on that. Mr. Fox.”

As expected, the main character of the conversation that started was the queen. After all, the Queen, a member of the management team, would know a lot about this case.

Of course, others expected something different.

“…But I wonder if he won’t come?”

“Is it him?”

“I mean Master. I was hoping that the Master might show up today.”

The queen also nodded in agreement with the wolf mask’s murmur.

Well, he was also very interested in Master.

As soon as I was concentrating on the conversation and glanced around, the goblin raised his hand slightly.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Um… it’s nothing… Now it’s the last time, how about we say aloud to each other?”

It was a proposal that made everyone doubt their ears, and all the members who actually heard it sent a dumbfounded look.

However, the goblin continued talking without hesitation.

“That… isn’t it fate that we met like this? If we just break up like this, we don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again. We can help each other outside… Or even create a new space like this outside—.”

“Stop it Mr. Goblin.”

It was the fox who put an end to the goblin’s nonsense that had been going on for a long time.

“The reason why this place was created was because anonymity was guaranteed, but who would proudly reveal their name?”

“That’s the case… I’m sorry…”

“Fisit, but it’s cute to think about it. Well, since my status has been exposed, I have no intention of rejecting it… Oh, is that the same for the goblin side? Fishy shit, isn’t this a cleverer plan than I thought? A proposal that will not only harm you!”

“Oh no… I didn’t mean that…”

The goblin was greatly taken aback by the clown’s sarcasm.

Surprisingly, the queen, who was watching this, came out to protect the goblin.

“Goblin-nim, you don’t have to make excuses. Everyone knows that that was not the intention, even if you don’t explain.”

“…Is that so?”

“yes. Wasn’t it literally just a pity?”

“Yes… it really is…”

A voice overflowing with regret even after hearing it roughly.

It’s not even a graduation ceremony.

Is he secretly affectionate? Or is it a good personality? In fact, it was almost the weakest position in the round table.

‘Anyway, isn’t it time to start soon?’

It’s a pity that it’s the last one, but in the end, not everyone took the time to be friendly.

But…

“Then stop talking about it—”

That’s when the fox finished the chatter and opened up to start the meeting.

“for a moment.”

The original member, Crescent Moon, cut off the fox.

“Can I make a suggestion?”

“…A suggestion?”

“I don’t know what will happen in the future, but maybe this is really the last place. That’s why…”

Soon after, the crescent moon looked at everyone and made a suggestion.

“How about changing the rules a little this time?”

“…What do you mean by changing?”

“You take turns asking questions and answering questions. It’s the same for everyone who has questions about each other.”

“Hmm….”

At Crescent Moon’s suggestion, all the Round Table members showed strange eyes.

It just didn’t seem like a welcome sight.

And, perhaps feeling that atmosphere, Crescent Moon added one thing to the rules he was trying to change in a hurry.

“Of course, you don’t have to give an answer that you think is difficult. And then you do what you normally do. How are you?”

The silence that came with the proposal of the crescent moon.

In an atmosphere where everyone spared their words, one person with no reason to notice tied a gun.

“Isn’t it too short even if you think it’s short? Under those conditions, who would answer the question asked? Just release the information you have prepared.”

It was what everyone was thinking.

If there is no penalty anyway, there is no reason to keep that condition.

If you accept that condition in the first place, only the side who asks the question will benefit. Other people who have heard the answer to the question may not have been curious about the information.

“Please ignore my proposal a moment ago….”

In the end, Crescent Moon also acknowledged that his thoughts were short-lived and accepted the proposal, and the fox, who was slightly cautious, took on the role of moderator at the right timing.

“Then, would you like the first… Mr. Antlers…?”

“I will.”

The first order of the day is the deer antlers, a knight from the royal family.

The information he spit out was short and clear.

“It is very likely that this community closure and the royal family have nothing to do with it.”

“Speculative information… You know that in times like this, you have to convince us of the reason for thinking that way, right?”

“Because the royal family had a plan to send an exploration force down to the first basement floor and share information using the community. If I had had closure in mind, I wouldn’t have made such a plan.”

“Isn’t it just a secret that only you didn’t know about?”

To interpret it, you asked if the royal family had a plan that only you were unaware of. In response, the deer antlers gave off a bad feeling, but could not answer.

It’s clear that there is a possibility.

“It is up to each person to judge.”

The antlers handed over the decision to the members, and the members’ decision was OK.

It was for a very simple reason.

“The Exploration Army… I thought they controlled it, but I never thought they would go underground from the royal family…”

There were people who didn’t even know the existence of the Exploration Army.

It was only the wolf that showed it off, but even the clown from Noark would not have known the story of the exploration team at all.

Well, it was a little surprising that I got an OK.

‘Is it because it’s the last meeting? They seem to be pretty generous today.’

Anyway, that’s it, then it’s your turn.

The second was a fox.

“According to a reliable source… the expeditionary force has already joined Baron Yandel and are exploring together.”

The information the fox pulled out was information about exploration, but it seemed irresistible to me

.

But there might be some new news worth bringing out here.

“But… isn’t that a very low value?”

However, the queen, who had been listening quietly, tackled him, and the other members nodded in agreement.

Therefore, I had to spit out the second piece of information…

“Bjorn Yandel ate the ‘Essence of Bellarios’.”

After all, it turns out like this.

It was like intuition at the moment when personal information was leaked, but it wasn’t particularly unpleasant.

After all, there were so many eyewitnesses that it was news that would be widely known as soon as the expeditionary force returned.

Well, I know that myself, so I probably took this out.

“Bellarios… it was a 3rd class monster.”

“How many Level 3s does that person… already have?”

“Can you tell me what color you ate?”

“Isn’t it pretty obvious what a savage would have eaten if he had no interest in anything other than getting stronger?”

“I heard that it doesn’t work even after coming… Then magic will no longer be his weakness.”

I thought that Bjorn Yandel had become famous all over again.

Looking at the members, who coolly pass on any information, are so agitated and throw out one word at a time.

“Then…let’s do it and move on to the next one.”

The fox quickly resumed the meeting, perhaps not wanting to make the story about me longer.

“Haha, then I will try it now.”

The next turn was the wolf.

Auril Gavis, who was also active as the Master of the Round Table. An old user who supported and protected the old man to the extent of being suspicious, and released related information.

“Auril Gavis is currently staying outside the walls.”

The information he said was related to the old man again.

‘They say it’s outside the walls… It seems Lee Baek-ho’s guess was true.’

It was very short information, but there was no problem with receiving the green light as the subject was the subject.

“Then the next turn…”

Even after the wolf’s turn was over, the meeting continued unscathed.

“Recently… an oracle came down. It was in the form of a precognitive dream.”

“Fisit, you are an oracle again—”

“It is said that Bjorn Yandel died in that precognitive dream.”

A goblin who unravels an already completed oracle as if it were the latest news.

“…?”

“…?”

“…?”

The shocking news seemed to put question marks over people’s heads over and over again, but the goblin finished the turn sparingly.

Cancer scams should be like that.

Anyway, the information that came out after that was all short.

“…there will never be a resurgence of Ghostbusters.”

The Queen nailed it on her turn.

The crescent moon mentioned the plan of the dwarves to create a new Noble Phantasm.

And the clown in the black mask of the butterfly also passed the turn by spitting out the appropriate level of information, as if to save power on the first lap.

“I… this is the end.”

My turn arrived like that.

As always, expectant eyes gather at me.

However, I just stared at one place, completely ignoring those gazes.

“….”

The crescent moon looked at me with more earnest eyes than anyone else.

For some reason, it was difficult to make eye contact.

[Take turns asking questions and answering questions.]

It was all because of me that Crescent Moon suggested changing the rules in the first place. If this was the last time, there would have been something you wanted to ask me.

‘Huh… I thought about it, but my mouth just won’t come out.’

In fact, even before coming, the first full information had already been decided. Because there was something I had to say before the meeting broke up.

So, I forced my mouth open.

“The stone of rebirth is…”

As soon as the word was mentioned, Crescent Moon’s eyes widened.

Of course, that time was extremely short.

“…only when he’s been dead for a while.”

“…?”

“It can only be used while the corpse remains.”

The light of hope drawn in a man’s eyes is erased.

Also, at the same time, what Lee Baek-ho said to me earlier resonates in my head.

[But isn’t it a little double-headed? You’ve always fooled and fooled others.] Whether

it’s Misha or Lee Baek-ho, anyone.

Maybe I don’t have the right to be angry.
