Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

The ‘betrayal’ of his colleague was a trigger for him.

“Leighton Bryatt”

Even this guy was the second oldest member of the Baekho Lee team after the old man.

“Fuck, but didn’t I treat you well?”

Lee Baek-ho, who had been humming like that, lets out a deep sigh.

“Well, that’s fine… Tell me, why are you alive when you’re dead? What’s this mask you’re wearing? What the hell are you up to behind the scenes?”

“····By the way, every time the explanation is interrupted, I will pull something out of your body, so please know that·”

“······”

“start·”

Lee Baek-ho, who started off with a high-handed voice, said, “Of course, there was no way that the guy who had kept his mouth shut the whole time would suddenly reveal everything.”

“······”

Instead, Briett looked up at Baekho Lee with hostile eyes. Baekho Lee didn’t show any particular reaction. Only when the silence continued for about 3 more seconds.

Slowly and leisurely stretch your hands forward.

“Ahhh! Aahhhhhhhh—!!”

He sticks his finger deep into his left eye and pulls out what was inside. It makes a distinct sound like something is snapping.

Very slowly

“Ahhhhh! Aahhh!!”

Looking at Briatt lying on the floor, writhing in pain, Baekho Lee said only one word with a blank expression.

“start·”

There was no further addition to that statement. No threats, no coaxing, no separate interrogation. Just saying the beginning and waiting a few seconds.

If the story still doesn’t start, the series of processes will just be repeated.

“Ahhhhh—!!”

Gouge out eyes, rip out ears, pull out organs, and when the condition becomes serious, treat with potions. Chew!

Lee Baek-ho is Lee Baek-ho, who continues to do that without any change in expression, but this guy, Briot, is also amazing. It seems like he doesn’t feel pain or anything.

‘He doesn’t say a word, except screaming.’

Is it because he knows it’s meaningless anyway? He doesn’t make excuses, and he never says anything like “kill me” or anything like that.

It must be a truly great mental power, but if we continue to torture him like this, there will be no results.

‘I think it’s time to change the method…’

I thought about stopping for a moment because of that thought, but after seeing Baekho Lee’s expression, I decided to stop.

Well, it won’t be too late to change the method after he calms down a bit. I’m not sick anyway.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

As I was watching Briatt being healed by the potion, the rest of the group arrived.

“Ah, you’re here. Why are you so late?”

“···I got lost a bit. There was no one who could help me find my way.···”

“So what’s the situation here?”

“Wait a minute! Bryatt? Isn’t that Bryatt over there?”

“Calm down, I’ll explain everything.”

Instead of Lee Baek-ho, who seemed uninterested, I gave a brief explanation of the situation to the group that arrived late.

“So… there was a suspicious person wearing a wolf mask, and when Mr. Baekho Lee caught him and took off the mask, there was Mr. Briett…”

“Lord Ruingenes! What is this? Didn’t you say you saw Briatt die with your own eyes?”

“When I saw it, it was clear. Seeing that it’s still alive and well… It seems like it either has the ability to fake its death or uses a special tool.”

“Probably so. He pretended to be dead as soon as he was caught earlier.”

“Hmm… I can think of a few abilities.”

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a supernatural ability or an item. The point is that Bryatt pretended to be dead in front of the doomsday man and then hid in this ruin.

“This makes it even more suspicious. I wonder why Mr. Bryant did such things…”

“I guess we’ll have to hear that from now on.”

When the conversation reached that point, Baekho Lee looked at us and shouted:

“Grandpa! What are you doing? If you’re here, come here quickly and hang that up first!”

At Baekho Lee’s request, the old man of destruction approached Bryant and cast some kind of magic.

“Do you know what magic it is?”

I quickly asked GM and got an answer right away.

“Based on the structure of the magic molecule, it is assumed to be a series that stimulates and awakens the nervous system—·”

“So, in simple terms, it helps with torture?”

“Yes… I think the pain will be several times greater and more vivid in that state.”

I unexpectedly gained some good knowledge. If I ever have to interrogate someone later, I’ll have to ask the wizard.

“···!!”

Anyway, the magic effect was instantaneous. The screaming became several times louder and I started to shed tears and snot. Also, soon after, my throat cracked completely and instead of screaming, a rasping sound started to come out.

“······”

After enduring silently until the end and seeing Bryant faint, Baekho Lee finally couldn’t hold back and blurted out a word.

“Wow, this guy, this guy was really a bad guy.”

Actually, I thought Baekho Lee, who was pouring the potion while talking like that, looked more poisonous, but anyway, cheeeeeeeeek-! Baekho Lee also stopped interrogating for a moment and approached us, as if his anger had subsided somewhat.

Seeing the usual sad smile on her lips, I thought it was time to talk to her. So…

“What happened?”

“If you say it like that, how will I understand?”

“Isn’t it a bit strange? How did you find this guy that we couldn’t find even after searching together?”

I wondered if maybe this guy Baekho Lee had a way to find it but had been hiding it until now.

but····

“Oh, that one?”

The truth that Baekho Lee revealed while shrugging his shoulders was even more shocking.

“You deliberately drew a lot of aggro, like you were suddenly acting crazy.”

“That was all an act?”

“Yes. I felt like people around me would watch me if I showed any strange behavior. So after I left on my own, I started mumbling to myself and banging my head against the wall to draw more aggro, and when I thought this was the moment… Boom!”

Lee Baek-ho continued speaking, spreading his hands as if expressing something exploding.

“I just fired a lot of wide-area weapons nearby. But then who was it? From then on, it was just as you saw, Baron.”

“Oh… I see…?”

“What do you think of my plan? Wasn’t it brilliant?”

Well, I don’t know if it’s genius, but one thing is clear: this guy’s mental state is not normal.

‘This guy is really crazy…’

I was speechless because I had nothing to say, and Baekho Lee turned his back and snickered.

“Anyway, now that I’ve calmed down a bit… I guess I should start talking about the center a little bit.”

Then, Baekho Lee walked towards Bryant, who had lost consciousness, and started searching his arms.

“It looks like all the important things are put in the subordinate subspace.”

“I can’t even see the bow. Wasn’t it a number item? And it was a pretty high number.”

“Ah, so in the end, if this kid doesn’t cooperate, I won’t be able to root properly… Hey, old man! Is there no way?”

“I’ll take a look.”

After that, the old man of destruction approached, bent down to examine him, and shook his head.

“The technique is quite complicated, so it seems impossible to completely open the subspace or transfer the imprint.”

“Then there is no way?”

“It is possible to open a subspace by force if you destroy the spell itself, but there will be losses if you do that.”

“What exactly does loss mean?”

“It means that about 30% of the objects in the subspace will disappear within the multi-dimension.”

“Oh, so to speak, there’s a 30% chance that this little bow will disappear?”

“What are you going to do?”

“Do it. I don’t think this kid will open it easily anyway.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to move to a bigger place.”

After that, as per the advice of the old man of destruction, we took Briot to the main hall and laid him down neatly. And then…

“Let’s get started”

He immediately started using the subspace disintegration technique. Hoooooow! At first, all that was left was the imprint on his hand glowing red, but at some point, a pure white light began to flow out.

How much more time had passed since then? Flash! A pure white flash of light erupted and a small portal opened on the back of his hand.

And then… Whew! With the sound of an explosion, items that were presumed to have been inside the subspace were scattered indiscriminately and scattered everywhere.

“and····”

This is why I’m like some kind of treasure goblin·***

How big was that subspace, Brian?

“This is 30% of the loss···?”

The amount of objects that emerged from subspace was so enormous that everyone was dumbfounded by the sight before their eyes.

At first glance, it looks like more than half of the main hall is covered with dropped items…

“Be careful, Joe!”

As they came out haphazardly, the room quickly became a mess. Crunch! Broken potion pottery… Boom!

There were some that exploded as soon as they came out, as if they were explosive consumables. · Swaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Everyone was sweating profusely while receiving the detox spell while the poison powder was flying around. · Well, the reward was certain though.

“Yeah, I believed it!!!”

No. 696 Rainless’s Palace, which was dropped intact after surviving a 30% chance, as well as expensive equipment seen here and there.

As someone who had been active as a ‘plunderer’ at the top level for a long time, he had a lot of equipment····

‘It seems that there were many things that were left unattended after spending a long time outside the walls.’

In addition, storing expensive equipment was a habit of Noark raiders, as bartering was frequent in Noark.

It is more profitable to exchange it for an item of equal value than to sell it at a low price.

“Everyone, stop filling your back pockets and gather them in one place! I will make sure to distribute it properly.”

After that, we all worked together to gather and classify the items, but there were a lot of suspicious-looking items.

“What the heck is this wolf mask?”

“Why did Mr. Bryant carry around so many of the same masks?”

“They’re not the same masks. This one and this one. Can’t you tell just by looking at them that the dimensions are different?”

The wolf mask, which is strangely common, also has a strange medal as its sister item.

“There is a wolf engraved on this medal too.”

“It’s quite a coincidence that this was something I picked up while looting.”

“Can you give it to me for a moment?”

The old man took the medal and examined it carefully, then made a mysterious expression.

“Do you know what it is?

“I remember hearing about this medal a long time ago.”

“What kind of thing is it? It doesn’t seem like a magical tool with any special functions.”

“This is not a magic tool, but a sign that indicates that you are a member of a group.”

“Are you talking about a group···? This is the first time I’ve heard of a group using such a pattern···”

“I guess so. They are an ancient group that existed when Lapdonia was founded.”

“Is this an ancient group? What is their name?” The GM’s eyes began to sparkle with curiosity as he asked. The old man looked down at the medal and answered.

“Hirkmuta·”

“If we translate it, it’s an ancient word meaning white wolf.”

“I understand that they got that name because of the nickname of the person they followed.”

“If it’s tinnitus······”

“The White Magician”

GM’s eyes widened at the words of the old man of destruction. It couldn’t be otherwise. In the history of Lapdonia, there was only one person who was called the ‘White Magician’.

“If you are a white magician······”

“The last great sage, Diphron Groundel Gabrielius Hirkmuta, is a group formed by those who follow him.”

Hirkumuta, the ‘ancient’ group formed by followers of Diphron Groundel Gabrielius, who was known as the last great sage and a white magician.

“But isn’t it a bit strange? If all the masks are white wolves, why are they all black?”

“Well… I don’t know about that. I don’t think that guy, Bryatt, would tell you. What do you think?”

Baekho Lee also muttered in an ambiguous voice in response to the question from the old man of destruction.

“Hmm… I even used pain enhancement, but in this state, I think I’ll just have to hit him to make him open his mouth. There’s no other way.”

Looking at Baekho Lee, who was sticking out his tongue and saying, “I didn’t know he was this vicious,” the old man said as if throwing it out.

“···I think maybe it’s because of the ‘taboo’ that I can’t speak even if I want to”

“Golden? What does that mean, Grandpa?”

“I remember reading something as a side note while researching the Hirkumutaran group. All members are required to swear one oath to keep things confidential.”

“Aren’t oaths and prohibitions a bit different in nuance?”

“That’s why it’s a guess. It’s said that among the forgotten ancient magics, there was also a magic that gave compulsion to ‘oaths,’ so it’s not such a ridiculous story.”

“Hmm… is that so?”

When the conversation had reached that point, suddenly Jaina called us urgently.

“Excuse me! Everyone, come here! Mr. Bryatt is dead!”

“···Huh? Oh, that? Don’t worry about it. You’re just going to roll over and pretend to be dead—·”

“No, it’s not like that. It’s like he’s really dead!”

“······”

At Jaina’s serious reaction, Baekho Lee also approached Briot with a puzzled expression. He shook his shoulder with his toes, but Briot showed no reaction.
