This was blatantly one of the more stupid decisions ever made by lee Hansoo. There is no way that so specific information would be known by anyone that's not currently trapped in the basement floor 1. Specially FOX who should be able to even narrow the search further by now, and will for sure become a liability because of it. But the “author” tip toes around her like she is not even present…
I can clearly feel the wave of contrivances coming to fix this nonsense…
I doubt it – she’s convinced he’s not an evil spirit and has good reason to. Moreso I think this woukd be grounds for her to suspect others of their company of being evil spirits and reporting to lion.
Barbarians, as a race who loves fighting, might up and move permanently to the Basement Floor 1, the time flows normally there, it already has an established village, huge amount of mana stones, and endless amount of monsters, they only need to kidnap an alchemist to make food for them, and I bet Bjorn can recruit that alchemist girl from Noark. And living in the Labyrinth was the original plan of Raphdonia’s first king.
Single-numbered items is basically equivalent to winning millions in lottery. The rumours of winning twice in 2 months is gonna bring in a lot of people to the basement floor. Very smart move, but will he be able to hide that he is Bjorn? This will be interesting.
theres absolutely no risk of them thinking he’s Bjorn Jandel anymore remember, He outright said he wasnt and got the green light, probably by exploiting the fact that, technically, thats not a lie at the time he said it, given hes in Lee Hansoo’s body in the round table, but not Bjorn’s. but cause of that interaction, theres basically no chance the rest of the round table can prove this anymore or even really consider it. The Queen does suspect we know, but she never technically confirmed it without a shadow of a doubt. and then Bjorn’s comment about entering the community over 20 years ago that he made back then also eliminated that suspicion entirely. Tbh, i think its more likely they think he’s an evil spirit from another world, and not earth.
The only part where you are wrong is that getting a single digit item is like winning billions considering how bjorn mentioned that the only way to make a profit from spending 1.5 billion stones is to get a single digit item, which clearly shows the valueIt might not be a huge difference but in these world mere millions of mana stone would only move explorers up to rank 4 or so despite the risk, but billions? Heheh
Honestly this seems like a bit of an overstep by Bjorn this time, who else could possibly know about Bjorn getting 2 single digits besides himself or someone in his group (since at this point everyone knows that they don’t automatically come back when the labyrinth closes) and there is at least one other evil spirit in Bjorns group right now who will definitely be leaking information about the basement and what their group is encountering. If someone from the round table found out from the hex clan leader about the situation of the group, it would once again become clear that of the people in the group Bjorn is the only one who could possibly be Mr. Lion. With that said, it will probably be brushed off again as just another example of Mr. Lions omniscience. Or Bjorn may just be fully confident that by the time he exits the labryinth he will be so strong it won’t even matter if the round table know who he is
already stated this in another comment but will go into it more here, Bjorn killed all suspicion on himself as Lion in the round table, remember the comment about joining 20 years ago that the green gem confirmed? and directly saying hes not bjorn as well, exploiting the fact that hes in Lee Hansoo’s body at the time to technically be telling the truth, since Bjorn did figure out that the gem is subjective based on what you truly believe. Given those facts, and the fact that Queen said that Lion was Bjorn Jandel and got a red light, to me, indicates that they likely just dont even consider Bjorn as a possible option anymore. Its more likely they see him as another world Evil Spirit, who has been here so long that their connections are much farther reaching, since in theory, anyone could be just feeding Lion info from the basement, Lion doesnt even NEED to be there, the round table doesnt start right away, there would be plenty of time for informants from Hex clan or elsewhere in the basement, to tell Lion over the message function or private chat function, as we know that cant really be easedropped on, and the rest of the round table already thinks he has a massive number of subordinates, Clown straight up thinks Lion has people outside the city in Noark already, and they also already have been tricked into thinking theres agents in the royal family too. In theory, the round table members could even think that both evil spirits AND natives work for Lion, and by using a single evil spirit as the communicator, uses natives as the ones to gather info, by basically keeping the contact method to lion secret. The Round Table members, since they already have been tricked this far, likely will just invent bigger and more impressive ways to logically explain their perceived power that Lion Holds. Bjorn is fully aware that his identity, at this point, is untouchable. He has the trick from Gavis too, so can just trick the stone if he wants. So Bjorn doing this Doesnt risk him. But it will imply that someone close to Bjorn Is an informant, and tbh, the one this would most Upset would be Versil(fox), who already is freaked out by potential Misha traitor stuff, and now suddenly has to deal with the fact that someone else may be a spy as well.
Great breakdown! I agree with what you’re saying. I’m worried this my prompt Vercil Gowland to take drastic action against Misha, presuming that she’s the informant for the Lion Mask.
From the round table perspective, lion mask has ears like everyone, just now he casually exposed classified noark intel, it wouldn’t be weird for him to plant some spies around bjorn considering his fame, just like he said, these guys are going to fill the blanks themselfs, of course, the biggest factor is that he “proved” officialy that is not bjorn by stating he joined the ghost busters 20 years ago, of course they know about the stone of records but here I can guess that its hard even for them to belive that bjorn would get chosen by it
Oh okay I was actually totally wrong. This chapter was indeed exciting. Blocking the basement does make kind of sense because no one ever came back from Floor -1.
Dropping the information with the 2 Single Digit Numbered items might spark some greed but on the other hand people might start to think that Bjorn = Lion mask again. Especially the Goblin might guess that. I mean the round table does think that the Lion mask is a big Fish in the world but knowing such specific information about someone trapped in a new floor does bring up new questions.
Usually yes but except Goblin who got a good intuition most of the round table kind of worship Lion mask so they would probably never think of him as Bjorn
I think it will slip. They will probobly believe he knows a way to get in and out, and thats why he knows or that he knows someone in there and talked to them before going to the meeting.
I think that’s the gamble he’s taking. Though he can easily have “spies” in B1 funneling him info. Right now his group is not huge, but it’s big enough to possibly have a mole. At the last Ghostbusters there was clear evidence of at least one or two evil spirits in B1. And his supposed knowledge of Noark's recent failure lends to that particular narrative. I think it’s more likely that his gamble to appeal to the side of greed will pay off and they’ll get some more visitors next time the portal opens
Goblin will join bjorns Clan so why would he do that. Also he could say he got that information from someone out of the community. And even if word slips by the time bjorn gets out of the basement floor he can instantly get his emgravings and by the time he will have the essence he wants, I bet.So his build is getting endgame ready.And we got the confimation that these monsters are the ones that are alive at the time the Labyrinth closes, including rifts as well as items.
That’s it. Nice catch. The “Rainy Season” is the monsters that were still alive when the labyrinth closed. But…there is still something to be said that some of the monsters leave corpses and others do not. I think there is a bit more to the explanation yet. Some must either be “native” or perhaps they are chimeras created by the village chief.
