THEY BASICALLY SAID, "WE'RE THE BEST. NOARK IS FINISHED. EVERYTHING IS FINE." ...YEAH, RIGHT. ONE THING'S CERTAIN: THERE WAS NO BATTLE. STILL, IF THE PROCLAMATION IS MORE OR LESS TRUE... MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THOSE NOARK BASTARDS AVOIDED A FIGHT AND FLED. MR. TITAN! ME TOO! I WANT A RIDE NEXT! ME! WAAAH! NO FAIR! NEVER MIND HOW THEY MANAGED IT. FIRST, I NEED TO KNOW WHERE THEY WENT INTO HIDING- GAH-?! AN ORPHANAGE RUN BY THE LEATLAS ORDER FARMING MERIT BJORN! STOP PLAYING AROUND AND COME HELP CARRY THIS STUFF! Y-YEAH. GO, TITAN barbarian! Me next! Me next! BUT MISHA... He's so strong... ...GET THESE KIDS OFF ME BEFORE YOU TELL ME THAT. 169 A WARRIOR'S DUTY DID YOU KNOW? DWALKI SPENT SOME TIME AT THAT ORPHANAGE WE VISITED TODAY WHEN HE WAS LITTLE. OH! NO WONDER THE KIDS LEARNED ABOUT VITAL POINTS SO QUICKLY. True heirs of a warrior, eh? IT'S BEING TORN DOWN TOMORROW, THOUGH... JUST THOUGHT I'D MENTION IT! REALLY? I SEE. SO DWALKI... AFTER THAT, EVERYONE LEFT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN BUSINESS, AND TODAY'S VOLUNTEER GATHERING(?) NATURALLY BROKE UP. ...IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US NOW. MAYBE WE COULD GO SOMEWHERE FOR A CHANGE OF PACE... I'VE GOT SOMEWHERE TO GO TOO. ...WHAT? DISMISSED. EXPLORER GUILD, DISTRICT 7 MANAGER'S OFFICE THE BARONET HAS ARRIVED. ...?! AREN'T YOU... GOING TO GREET ME? I taught you how. I GREET... BARONET... JANDEL... WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE TODAY...? OBVIOUSLY, I'M HERE TO SEE IF ANY EXPLORERS HAVE ANSWERED MY RECRUITMENT NOTICE. THE BRANCH MANAGER'S OFFICE DOWNSTAIRS COULD EASILY HANDLE THAT... YOU'RE TALKING BACK... TO A NOBLE? I-I’LL CHECK RIGHT AWAY. AHEM... HMM... JUST ONE NEW APPLICANT, AND EVEN THIS ONE'S UNIMPRESSIVE. MY APOLOGIES. IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR. I THOUGHT THERE'D BE PLENTY OF APPLICANTS WITH ALL THOSE CLANS DESTROYED... AND STILL NO SIGN OF THE "SPECIALIZED CLASSES" I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. ...IS THERE ANYONE IN PARTICULAR YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? NO ONE IN PARTICULAR. THEY JUST NEED TO BE CAPABLE. WHY DO YOU ASK? I NOTICED QUITE A PROMISING NAME AMONG THE APPLICANTS. THE DISTRICT MANAGER THEN— WENT ON TO EXPLAIN HOW CAPABLE, TRUSTWORTHY, AND PROMISING THAT EXPLORER WAS— ENOUGH! ...?! JUST DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO! I NEVER THOUGHT HE'D MAKE SUCH A BLATANT ATTEMPT ON MY LIFE! RECRUIT A HANS? IS HE INSANE? THEN, AS ALWAYS, THE FIFTEENTH ROLLED AROUND. I'D KEPT MYSELF FAIRLY BUSY WITH PRODUCTIVE THINGS, BUT HAD NO REAL RESULTS TO SHOW FOR IT. RECRUITMENT IS GOING NOWHERE. AT LEAST ANOTHER TWO OR THREE MONTHS FOR THE ORDER'S MERIT POINTS... IF THE LABYRINTH OPENS THIS TIME, THE SIX OF US WILL JUST HAVE TO HEAD UP ON OUR OWN. OF COURSE, IT'S A LITTLE EARLY TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE'LL EVEN BE ABLE TO ENTER THE LABYRINTH. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE STATE OF AFFAIRS... Bjorn, son of Jandel? The great warrior is here! He looked at me! No, he looked at me! IF THINGS GO WELL, I'LL FIND OUT TODAY. BUT RIGHT NOW, NONE OTHER THAN THE GM SUSPECTS I’M AN EVIL SPIRIT. IF I WERE HIM, I’D MAKE MY MOVE TODAY. TWELVE HOURS IN THE COMMUNITY IS TWELVE SECONDS IN REALITY. IT’S A VERY SHORT TIME, BUT SINCE WE’RE PULLED IN NO MATTER WHAT— ANYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT CAN WATCH THAT MOMENT AND TELL WHETHER SOMEONE’S A PLAYER. OH, YOU CALLED! KARON, I CALLED YOU BECAUSE I NEED A FAVOR. A FAVOR? WOULD YOU TRY PUTTING THIS ON YOUR FACE? GOLDEN MASK A MAGICAL ITEM OBTAINED IN THE BLOOD-TINTED CASTLE. CHANGES THE WEARER'S FACE TO THAT OF A PERSON OF THEIR CHOICE. LASTS UP TO 30 DAYS. THIS IS MY PLAN. HAVE KARON WEAR MY FACE AND DRINK IN THE CITY UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING. WITH PLENTY OF WITNESSES AROUND, EVEN A MAGE AS SKILLED AS THE GM— WON’T BE ABLE TO TRY ANYTHING. HE’LL HAVE TO SIT BACK AND WATCH. IT’S NOT A DIFFICULT FAVOR, BUT WHY GO TO ALL THAT TROUBLE? ...THERE’S SOMEWHERE I NEED TO GO BRIEFLY TONIGHT WITHOUT MY COMPANIONS KNOWING. HMM... IT SEEMS THAT THERIANTHROPE DOESN’T REALLY UNDERSTAND YOU. HUH? WHY IS HE SUDDENLY BRINGING UP MISHA? WANTING CHILDREN IS A WARRIOR’S INSTINCT. IS THAT WHY YOU CAME TO THE SANCTUARY TODAY? AH, NOW I GET IT. YES, THIS WILL MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO KEEP MY SECRET. DON'T WORRY! EVEN IF THAT THERIANTHROPE WOMAN SHOWS UP, I'LL MAKE SURE SHE DOESN'T SUSPECT A THING! ...I'LL TRUST YOU. YOU'RE THE WISEST WARRIOR AFTER ME. HAHA! JUST LEAVE IT TO ME! KARON TARSON HAS USED '"GOLDEN MASK". YOUR CHARACTER'S APPEARANCE CHANGES FOR 30 DAYS. YOUR CHARACTER HAS USED "'GOLDEN MASK". YOUR CHARACTER'S APPEARANCE CHANGES FOR 30 DAYS. AFTER ENTERING THE CITY WEARING KARON'S FACE, I PICKED AN INN AT RANDOM AND SHUT MYSELF IN A ROOM. AND THEN... YOUR CHARACTER'S SOUL RESONATES AND IS DRAWN INTO A PARTICULAR WORLD. AH... PLEASE DON'T GET INTO ANY WEIRD TROUBLE WEARING MY FACE. LOOKS LIKE HE STILL HASN'T GOTTEN HIS BAN LIFTED. BUT WHY DID THE GM BAN LEE BAEKHO IN THE FIRST PLACE? I'M HONESTLY CURIOUS, BUT I HAVE NO WAY OF FINDING OUT RIGHT NOW. I LEFT HIM ALONE UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE A "KEY"... UNFORTUNATELY, BAEKHO DID SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG. I'M JUST UNEASY AT THE FEELING THAT THINGS KEEP HAPPENING WHERE I CAN'T SEE THEM. WOULD THINGS GET ANY BETTER IF I REVEALED THAT I'M ELFNUNA? WHO KNOWS... EVEN IF HE HAS GOOD INTENTIONS, NO ONE KNOWS HOW RELATIONSHIPS WILL TURN OUT. THEN I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO! HANS KRISSEN IS AN EVIL SPIRIT!! AND I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW BADLY THINGS CAN GO. ...HUH?! WHY ARE SO FEW PEOPLE HERE TODAY? DON'T TELL ME THEY ALL DIED FUCKING ROYALS, YOU SAID IT'D BE FUCKING EASY I'M FROM NOARK, AND THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL YOU DON'T JOIN THE EXPEDITION [10] SEE MORE SEE MORE HOT GENERAL DISCUSSION SEE MORE SEE MORE I KEPT WORRYING I MIGHT GET BANNED FOR BEING FROM NOARK, BUT I'M POSTING THIS BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW, WHETHER THEY'RE ABOVEGROUND OR UNDERGROUND, NO MATTER THEIR FACTION. WE'RE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. NOT INSIDE THE WALLS, BUT OUT IN THE ACTUAL OUTSIDE WORLD. YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING HOW THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE, RIGHT? BUT IT'S TRUE. WE ESCAPED THE ROYAL FAMILY AND CAME OUTSIDE, AND WE'RE STILL ALIVE AND WELL. HONESTLY, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE WITCH'S CURSE FADED OVER TIME OR NEVER EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT ONE THING'S CERTAIN. IT'S REALLY FINE OUT HERE. NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT, THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SOME BULLSHIT WRITTEN TO GET A RISE OUT OF PEOPLE... THE COMMENTS BLEW UP IN AN INSTANT. BRUTALIZERX***: ATTENTION DELIVERY! AROLF5205**: NO ONE'S DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THIS, RIGHT? RYANZEUS31**: BUT IF THIS IS TRUE, ISN'T THE ROYAL FAMILY FUCKED? ↳ FUR**KING1955*: MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY COVERED IT UP? NO WAY THEY DIDN'T KNOW. MIDNIGHT13**: THERE'S A WORLD WHERE WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT MAGIC CRYSTALS? ORLD WHERE CRYSTALS? WHAT'S THIS ABOUT? AN OLD MAN? ↳ NIKAMOTO***: OLD MAN? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? PLEASE SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW. GARETH**: WE WERE WAITING TO CUT DOWN ALL THE NOARK BASTARDS WHEN THEY RETURNED, BUT SOME OLD MAN SUDDENLY SHOWED UP AND TELEPORTED THEM ALL AWAY. ↳ YULYUL**: THE SCHOLAR OF DESTRUCTION? ↳↳ GARETH**: WASN'T HIM. ↳ KNI8HTOFROOM**: BULLSHIT. HOW DO YOU TELEPORT THAT MANY PEOPLE? ↳ GARETH**: DUNNO. FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF. ANYWAY, I'M REGRETTING GOING DOWN THE KNIGHT BUILD NOW. ↳ AMULET***: THEY REALLY DID ESCAPE BY TELEPORTATION. I WAS THERE TOO. ↳ KONGKONG2**: THIS PERSON'S ONLY EVER POSTED ABOUT THE KNIGHT ORDERS, RIGHT? SO ALL OF THIS IS REAL? EXBLUNT***: AHH, THE AIR'S NICE OUT HERE. GUESS THOSE OF US WHO WENT UNDERGROUND EARLY ARE THE REAL WINNERS? XXFBLZ**: YEP, WE'RE DOING FINE WITHOUT MAGIC CRYSTALS. YOU GUYS CAN KEEP PAYING TAXES AND BUSTING YOUR ASSES. MM... AT THIS POINT, EVEN I'M STARTING TO GET CONFUSED. FINE, LET'S PUT ASIDE THE OUTSIDE WORLD FOR NOW. I FELT SOMETHING WAS OFF TOO WHEN I SAW THE GUARDS ON BIFRON'S WALLS. BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHY ARE THEY TELLING US THIS NOW? OUT OF A SENSE OF DUTY TO THEIR FELLOW PLAYERS? NOT A CHANCE. IF THEY HAD ANY, I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THROUGH HELL IN THE LABYRINTH. THESE BASTARDS KEPT THEIR MOUTHS FIRMLY SHUT, WHETHER THEIR FELLOW PLAYERS DIED OR NOT. IF THEY'RE POSTING INFORMATION NOW, THERE MUST BE A REASON. HOW MUCH TIME HAD PASSED? BEFORE I KNEW IT, IT WAS THREE O'CLOCK, AND THAT BITTER QUESTION REMAINED UNANSWERED. RIGHT. I SHOULD GET SOME USEFUL INFORMATION HERE. AH, YOU'RE HERE! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. FOX AND... CRESCENT MOON ARE ABSENT AGAIN. Did they die after all? ? OH? SO YOU WEREN'T DEAD, CRESCENT MOON? NICE TO MEET YOU! LAST TIME WAS MY FIRST MEETING, SO I STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN. DID HE ALWAYS HAVE THIS AIR ABOUT HIM? SO SOLEMN. WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME? AT LEAST TELL US THAT. ...I SIMPLY WASN'T IN THE MOOD AT THE TIME. ...... IT SEEMS YOU'VE LOST SOMEONE. THEN IT'S GOOD YOU CAME. YOUR ENEMY MIGHT BE HERE. WHAT... DO YOU MEAN...? CLOWN IS THE CORPSE COLLECTOR. I SEE. CLOWN IS... YES, YOU'RE THE ONE... BLOODLUST... HE REALLY DOES SEEM TO HAVE LOST SOMEONE IN THAT BATTLE. HOWEVER, HE MUST KNOW IT HIMSELF. IS THAT GOING TO KILL ANYONE? IN THE END, THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO HERE. SOMEDAY, I'LL COME FIND YOU. ...HEH. I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO IT. NOW, THEN, SHALL WE GET STARTED? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ALL MONTH! VERY WELL. I’LL GO FIRST TODAY, THEN. I HAVE A FEELING HE’S ABOUT TO TELL ME WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR— AH, THIS COULD BE RATHER EXCITING. SINCE YOU MENTIONED COMING TO FIND ME, HOW EXACTLY DO YOU PLAN TO DO THAT? DIDN’T YOU SEE THE POSTS ON THE BOARD? THE ONES SAYING IT’S FINE OUTSIDE, AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF NOARK ARE THERE. EVERY WORD OF IT IS TRUE, YOU KNOW? JUST AS I THOUGHT... NOW I’M CERTAIN. BOTH THE POSTS FROM EARLIER AND CLOWN'S REMARKS... ARE PART OF A DELIBERATE CAMPAIGN TO SPREAD THIS INFORMATION WITHIN THE CITY. THE MASS DEATHS OF EXPLORERS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO SUPPLY MAGIC CRYSTALS. THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE ROYAL CAPITAL, CARNON, BURNED TO THE GROUND WHILE THE AUTHORITIES WERE POWERLESS TO STOP IT. IF RUMORS LIKE THIS SPREAD ON TOP OF ALL THAT... EXCUSE ME, MR. CLOWN. MAY I ASK A QUESTION, IF YOU DON'T MIND? SO WHO IS THAT OLD MAN? THE ONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY TELEPORTED OVER TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE AT ONCE... THAT'S... A SECRET. HEH. WHERE'S THE FUN IN SIMPLY TELLING YOU? HE CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW. Who does this bastard think he's fooling? AMATEUR. ...WELL, THERE'S NO WAY THAT OLD MAN WOULD HAVE REVEALED HIS IDENTITY. TH... THEN YOU MEAN... THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PRETEND TO KNOW SOMETHING, KID. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Surviving The Game as a Barbarian #170: A Warrior's Duty](/series/surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-k36pawlq/chapter-170-en6knu) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-k36pawlq ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
