Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

A secret community created for better quality information exchange.

When I first came here, the existing members were curious about my relationship with the Master.

The reason is simple.

It’s already been a year since the master who recruited members through the message function disappeared.

The members assumed that they could hear the Master’s current situation from me, and after the concept of ‘Lion’ was settled, the fact that they knew each other was firmly established.

I was consistent with no comments on all related questions.

[The answer is refusal.]

To answer that I know, I’m worried about the future.

I made the decision because I thought that saying “I don’t know” doesn’t suit the concept of mysticism.

But I wonder if I was greedy without even realizing it.

[…Do you even know where Master is?]

At the second meeting, I shrugged at the fox’s words.

As if there’s nothing you can’t tell me if you bring something interesting. He rested his chin on his chin restlessly and relaxed as if he had become an absolute ruler.

It was clearly intended to be a misunderstanding.

“…Wasn’t it the one invited by the master? I’m sure this person said that too…” The

fox mask’s voice sounded very confused, as if his intentions were actually well communicated.

The other masks were also wondering what the situation was like.

“Hmm, did I invite you?”

The master touched his chin, not knowing at all.

As a result, the eyes of the other masks focused on me.

Questions and curious eyes about my identity.

“If he’s not the Master, how did he get here?”

“Couldn’t you have used the invitation code you received before?”

At the fox’s murmuring, the goblin made a guess, which the clown refuted.

“You’re stupid. Don’t you know that the invitation code expires after just one month and you can’t use it?”

“……Is that for real, Master?”

“The jester’s words are true.”

“Then……”

As the Master nodded, his gaze toward me became more blatant.

“Why did you deceive me by saying that you are acquainted with Master…?”

A fox mask that asks me a question in a cautious tone.

I stopped breathing and closed my eyes for a moment.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Master, but it’s a way to ruin things that should be done only when you lose your composure.

I quickly decided on the position I would take.

“I didn’t cheat.”

Haven’t you ever boasted that you know each other with your own mouth?

you just misunderstood

If you push forward like that, they won’t have anything to say.

‘Well, I should feel a little uncomfortable, but…’

From half-baked life to this and that information.

Have you shown one or two so far?

Anyway, this won’t get me to the truth that I’m a cyberthug.

So…

“You didn’t cheat?”

Let’s go out shamelessly.

In the first place, ‘The Lion’ is such a character, isn’t it?

“It’s literally. Do you have any problems with your ears?”

“Oh no… it’s not like that…”

The fox mask was very flustered when their eyes met, even though it didn’t even breathe.

I laughed out loud.

And I didn’t say anything, but I tried to say the lines I had prepared, saying that it was your side that misunderstood.

But then.

“Everyone, please stop.”

Master looked at me and said.

“I don’t know the details of what happened between you, but he didn’t lie about anything.”

‘……huh?’

“Now I know. Who are you?”

For an instant, my heart skipped a beat.

Of course, that time was only fleeting.

Do you know who I am? It’s nonsense.

Even if you say master, you’re only the host of a private chat room, but how do you know that—

“Cheers. I thought you were on the tiger side.”

I shut my mouth tight at Master’s laughter.

It’s not because I’m stuck in the middle of the day, but because I can’t understand what you’re talking about.

I just chose silence.

Even if you save words, you judge that at least half will go.

“Soldiers or something.”

That judgment was not wrong.

‘I’m a soldier…….’

Now I understand.

Who has this old man mistook me for?

***

Sergeant Lee.

Literally translated, this sergeant…….

The nickname of Lee Baek-ho, an unfortunate player who was brought to this world on the day of his discharge.

“It’s no use pretending otherwise. You’re the only one who gave me a code that never expires.”

If you think about it, it was a misunderstanding that the Master had no choice but to make.

Isn’t that the invitation code Lee Baek-ho handed over to me?

There’s no way they can tell me and Lee Baek-ho apart even while wearing a mask.

‘……Should I say that this went well?’

Still can’t feel it

I think the key is how close Lee Baek-ho was with the master…

“I didn’t know you would come here. Didn’t you just scold me for doing something pathetic when I first visited you?”

“…….”

“I’m a little curious. How did you change your mind?”

The conclusion came without much thought.

‘I’m not familiar with you.’

The expression ‘myeonbak’ is probably good.

Because in the world, there is a close relationship while arguing.

But…

[Ah, I didn’t tell you about that. I took the initial pill, so I can only stay here for an hour.]

Lee Baek-ho only stays here for an hour.

Therefore, it is impossible to participate in this rally in the first place, where the entry time is between 3:00 and 3:10.

But you don’t know this?

What did you tell me as soon as we met on the first day?

‘Suddenly, an estimate comes out.’

Master doesn’t know much about Lee Baek-ho.

In other words, it is possible for me to pretend to be Lee Baek-ho.

“I’m not saying what I suggested first, but if you’re like you, there’s nothing to be gained by participating here.”

At the Master’s words, the clown grumbled.

“……Nothing to gain. Isn’t the Master looking at us too much like children?”

“Oh, I’m sorry if I offended you. But he’s such a great friend.”

“Hmm, that’s right……”

The clown’s eyes shine at the master’s praise.

I quickly checked out the other masks as well. It wasn’t much different from clowns.

It was just full of surprises.

Maybe more than when I spit out advanced information like ‘revival stone’.

“I think it’s the first time Master has evaluated something like that…”

“I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

A crescent moon exclaiming a stretch and a deer antlers with a somewhat resentful expression. Oh, by the way, as soon as my eyes met, the fox flinched and lowered his head.

It seems that something I was suspicious of earlier caught on.

‘What do we do?’

Seeing this makes me even more worried.

Isn’t there a saying that a crisis is an opportunity?

As you can see from the eyes of the members who have already changed.

If you succeed in pretending to be Lee Baek-ho, it will be of great help to you in the future.

‘Above all, I think we can find out what kind of boy Lee Baek-ho is through this old man.’

The return is certain.

So what about the risks?

‘……I don’t think there’s anything particularly risky?’

Come to think of it, if it doesn’t work, then it’s enough to reveal that you’re Lee Baek-ho’s friend.

Isn’t there an old saying called Yoo Yoo Sang Jong?

As long as the Master mentioned that he was a great person, I, who is his friend, should be considered to be on the same level as Lee Baek-ho.

‘Okay, let’s try.’

After making my decision, I broke the long silence and spoke to the master first.

“What should I call you here?”

“huh?”

“Can’t you sing like you normally do?”

“Why can’t it? Just call it inspiration like it was back then. Let’s get rid of that strange anecdote.”

“It’s inspirational.”

It was dizzy even when he naturally changed his posture.

‘I almost messed with it from the start…….’

I never thought they were talking half-heartedly.

But thanks to you, I realized one more fact.

Lee Baek-ho is a proud Korean Confucian.

But to speak plain language to an older person?

‘Beyond not being close, they seem to have had a bad relationship at all.’

I have a rough idea of how to deal with it.

So, naturally, I made up for the mistake I had made earlier.

“Your taste is so strange. Even if you try to save noodles, you say you don’t like it.”

Words that I honestly can’t understand.

I’m not sure if it worked properly, but the master smiled eagerly and put it aside.

“Cheolkeol! Yes, that’s how you are. Anyway, let’s end this story here. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but I don’t have time.”

“……No mastery time?”

“It’s not long before I can be here for circumstances.”

“Yeah? Because what the hell has happened to—”

“Stop it.”

Master muttered briefly and dismissed the question.

“I understand that Miss Fox would like to ask me many things. Why did I disappear without a word? You must want to say something. But I cannot tell you.”

“Are you running out of time?”

“No, it has nothing to do with time.”

The fox did not force himself any more at the words of the master who cut and drew a line.

Instead, I asked one more question.

“Then… are you coming again next time?”

“Well, I’m not sure about that. But I’ll come again in a year. If I have something to announce before that, I might come sooner.”

“Pishishit, that must mean that I came today because I had something urgent to tell you. Master.”

“It’s as you say, clown.”

All the attention that was focused on me at the Master’s declaration of shock turned to that direction.

It’s a much better situation for me.

Even the content itself.

‘Come back in a year……’

Simply put, it means that you don’t have to worry about your lies being exposed at every meeting.

But right now, curiosity outweighed the relief.

‘I don’t think I’m lying to say I don’t have time… What kind of situation are you in? What else do I need to know urgently?’

In the midst of many doubts, I gazed at the master with my eyes focused on my ears. It wasn’t just me, but all the masks were like that.

A strange silence formed so naturally.

“Don’t be too nervous. Rather, it’s safe to say it’s good news.”

The Master, who was waving his hand as if to ventilate the heavy air, slowly opened his mouth.

And…

“In two years, a binding magic that can be used by up to six people will be created. That means six keys to open the door to the abyss will increase!”

Silence oppressed the hall.

The members glanced at each other awkwardly and said nothing.

Master tilted his head at this.

“Uh, why are everyone’s expressions like that? I thought you’d be even more surprised…”

That’s an afterthought.

***

That there will be a six-person binding magic.

It is certain that the information will be so valuable that the entire city will vibrate for at least several months at the moment it is known.

But…

“…you said you revealed this news first? Eh, somehow everyone was bored.”

The Master licked his lips after learning that the clown had talked about it in the last meeting.

“But it’s a little surprising. Clown I didn’t know you would talk like that here. Do you like the people here a little bit now?”

Just because there’s someone who’s curious about what it’s like to be surprised.”

The clown spits out his characteristic laugh as he looks at me.

Following that gaze, the Master glances at me with a meaningful look. I

was nervous, wondering if he was saying something.

But. From that point on ,

Master’s body began to shiver like a hologram.

“Oh, it’s already time to leave.”

”

Master !”

The speed increased even more.

Even in that situation, the Master only looked at me.

It was a very unpleasant and uneasy look.

I was just looking at you, but should I say it feels like I can see inside?

” Inspired, do you have something to say?”

I couldn’t hold back and asked.

And then.

[It’s not an old man.]

The voice resonated in my head like a telephonic spell.

It was clear who the owner of the voice was.

[That damn kid called me that.]

Damn it.

Somehow it’s too much. It seemed like it was easily overlooked.

‘You said you noticed from the beginning?’

My body stiffened a bit without realizing it.

Of course, it was so small that it was hard to detect with the naked eye, and the time was close to an instant.

But…….

[Hmm, actually, the reaction was so natural that I’m still confused until now. Heartbeat Seeing that this has increased dramatically, it seems that he really wasn’t that kid.]

No, did you just skim it?

[Don’t worry. There’s no reason for me to interfere with what you’re doing here.]

“…….” [I’m just curious, unfortunately, I don’t have time today

. Let’s talk about who you are later when we meet.] After that, the

master’s body dissipated in front of my eyes like fog

.

I laughed out loud.

It was similar to laughing nonchalantly when I go through something too absurd.

There are really no fools in this world.
