They’ll probably return to their neutral stance in a few days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was information that only someone in the core of the religious world would know, so he naturally passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, then it’s my turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clown made a shocking declaration as soon as it was his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I live in Noark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is this bastard doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he get brain damage after being hit by my killing intent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>____________________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was information that revealed his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, including me, froze at his incomprehensible action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, to be precise, everyone except for the Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Noark? Mr. Clown, you’re also an interesting person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen spoke to the Clown in an innocent voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Clown’s gaze was fixed on me, showing no signs of moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suddenly thought of the Evil Spirit Hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bastard also observed my expression like that after throwing bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Don’t tell me, he’s trying to gauge my information network?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought briefly crossed my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I also carefully observed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You seem surprised, so I guess you didn’t know who I was?

I guess that’s not the case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a kind of probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Lion was a formidable person, but just how formidable was he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just his individual strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was he an absolute being who also possessed a vast network of connections and information?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it? Did you find it interesting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a rather efficient move, as he could even gain ‘interesting’ points on top of testing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I chuckled and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was an interesting trick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jewel, which had emitted a green light, lost its glow, indicating that the turn was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was my turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I already had the information I was going to share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clown is the Corpse Collector.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you trying to pull, you bastard?\u003C\u002Fp>",2612,"2026-06-05T19:32:49.064Z",1,"novelbin.me","51eeaaef4fec35eaf5081b82f9cd8f349fb912e61f786bf66e3ebfa0de1ec289","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-238","surviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-chapter-236",807,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-game-as-a-barbarian-cover.jpg"]
