Gold and Silver Alchemist

Shu Woo-wook-

The speed of the elevator going down to the basement gradually increased.

I had a sudden thought.

‘How many elixir extraction facilities are there on Earth?’

I explored it in the way that it was the main hall, but in the end, there was an altar in the basement of Daeungjeon Hall in Bulguksa Temple.

It was clear that there would be far more elixir extraction facilities than expected.

“Is there any way to find all the elixir extraction facilities at once?”

Seoyeon Kim nodded and answered my question.

“I don’t know how many, but if there are dozens or hundreds, I’m sure they’ve recorded the locations of the elixir extraction facilities somewhere.”

I too had the same thoughts as her.

After the Elixir Extraction Facility started operating, it took a considerable amount of time for the Elixir to gather.

So, the alchemists involved in the construction would have moved to another area as soon as one facility was completed and started constructing another facility.

If he hadn’t memorized all the locations of the extraction facilities, he must have written them down somewhere.

“It could have been marked on a map or maybe even made a special tool.”

“A special tool?”

“It’s like a compass. Pointing to the location of the extraction facility.”

If a map or a compass actually existed, he could obtain it and find all the elixir extraction facilities on Earth at once.

Shu Woo-wook-

The elevator continued to descend.

Checking the altimeter, it was 3,500 m below the surface.

After a while,

pat-

A huge underground space came into view.

Then, after going down several hundred meters, we finally reached the bottom.

The elevator stopped.

jing-

A thin beam of light emanated from the stone box.

Follow the light to find the gate.

“Let’s just pack the gate and get out quickly.”

“Yes, boss!”

After we get the gate, we’ll put the elevator back in place.

The head monk may suddenly try to come down into the locker room.

Before that, I want to put everything back in place.

“This is also a stone field.”

Looking around, there were only rocks everywhere.

However, the rocks were mixed with sparkling crystals.

Looking at the decision, Kim Seo-yeon opened her mouth.

“Fix it!”

All that was scattered was crystal.

Crystals of various colors such as transparent crystals, amethysts, and citrines sprouted out.

Following the discovery of diamond mines in Antarctica, they discovered crystal mines in Gyeongju.

Crystal was in an ambiguous position to say that it was a jewel in terms of scarcity value.

At least, citrine was the most expensive among quartz crystals.

There are also naturally occurring citrine, but most are made by heating amethyst from 200℃ to 400℃.

After all, most of the crystals classified as gems are amethysts.

“Once upon a time, the world’s finest amethyst was mined in Ulsan.”

There is an amethyst mine in Ulsan, close to Gyeongju.

The ‘Eonyang Amethyst’ mined there was once world-famous.

Considering that there are amethyst artifacts among the relics of Silla, it can be seen that they have been mined for quite a long time.

But now, little mining is done in those mines.

This is because cheap and high-quality foreign amethysts are imported, so even mining them is not profitable.

In any case, it was a minor ‘side income’ compared to the discovery of the diamond mine.

But for me, the crystals were useful.

This is because crystals are often used as a material when manufacturing weapons, armor, and mechanical engineering elements.

Until now, I paid for it and bought it, but now I don’t have to.

Whoops-

After flying several kilometers, we arrived at an arched structure.

cool-

The space under the arch shuddered and the teleportation gate opened.

But I won’t go into it right now.

As planned, the elevator will be returned to its original location.

hiss-

I put Arch in my inventory.

Then, the supply of elixir was cut off and the light that illuminated the crystal mine disappeared.

Whoops-

Through the darkness, I returned to the place where the altar was.

The elevator didn’t work either because the supply of the elixir was cut off.

Goo Goo-

I used ＜Psychokinesis＞ to launch the elevator into the air.

Whoops-

As it was, it rose thousands of meters and settled the elevator in its original position.

To prevent the floor of the secret room from falling, a support made of orichalcon was installed under the elevator.

And it was completely sealed with magic.

Now, the secret room under the Daeungjeon Hall of Bulguksa Temple has lost its original function.

It’s just a secret space for the head monk, with no ‘magic elements’.

‘I have to make a new entrance.’

To mine crystals, you have to visit the mine often.

Since the secret chamber of Daeungjeon Hall has been sealed, a new entrance will be made.

hiss-

I took out the excavator.

Then they started digging a hole to the east.

The entrance to the subterranean space will be made in the sea.

so that others don’t see it.

Goo Goo-

After digging for about 20 km, we finally arrived at the area with the sea.

It rose vertically and broke through the bottom of the seabed.

Shii Ik-

Seawater began to be sucked into the Crystal Mine.

This is because the mine is located deeper than sea level.

I had this in mind from the beginning.

If the mine is submerged, it will be more difficult for others to access.

Only I can dig crystals in the mines here.

‘Let’s go home now.’

.

.

.

It was 4 in the morning when we arrived at Singyeongju Station.

The first train to Seoul was an hour later.

I will take the train to Cheonan Asan Station and drive back home.

Inside the gate, you will go inside after you get home.

Before, I put everything aside and checked inside the newly acquired gate, but after doing this several times, my curiosity faded.

‘Well, it must contain gold and an elixir.’

I got bored while waiting for the train, so I took out my phone.

News related to Sasaki was posted on the Internet.

He became a hero because of me.

It was not enough to beat the head of the department to death and hold fellow professors hostage, and crashed a police helicopter.

In addition, the purpose of the hostage operation was not to satisfy individual self-interest, but to ‘return the Japanese government’s artifacts’.

The Japanese, who wanted to rebel against the government, revered Sasaki as a hero.

however,

‘He’s dead.’

Sasaki was shot and killed by a man belonging to a Japanese far-right group.

hmm-

After I left Japan, he was immediately arrested by the police.

He was shot while being transported to the police station.

To be murdered while accompanying the police,

‘It’s obvious.’

Japan’s far-right faction, ‘Ilsuhoe’, deliberately murdered Sasaki.

If they’re going to continue brainwashing and manipulating the Japanese people, people like Sasaki shouldn’t be alive.

‘Cute babies.’

I hate what these guys do, but it had nothing to do with me.

There’s nothing to be gained by eliminating them all.

If we cut out the cancerous lumps in society, only Japanese society will regain its health and develop rapidly.

It’s not even our country, so there was no reason for me to step forward and implement justice.

.

.

.

I arrived at Asan Station in Cheonan and drove the car home.

I parked my car in the parking lot and went out into the garden.

thiririri-

A call came through the cannon phone.

The only people to call this number were the people from the Songpa office.

I called to report on my work in Africa.

When I pressed the call button, President Park’s voice came out.

-President! I’m the president of Park!

“Is work going well?”

– Things don’t work out as well as first thought. A company has a tight grip on the diamond mines here!

Since the goal was to buy a cheap mine that didn’t look like much, I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult.

However, a certain company has completely swept the diamond mines in Africa.

-These days, the economy is in a recession, so I don’t know what they were thinking about buying the mine! According to the local people, their diamond mine share is the highest ever!

There was a company that monopolized 90% of the world’s rough diamonds with the slogan “Diamonds are forever.”

The company was able to control the price of diamonds by regulating the amount of mining.

However, in the end, it received an unfair trade ticket from the EU and fell into abyss.

However, a company that dreams of monopolizing diamonds has appeared again.

hmm-

It has already entered the process of acquiring a mining company under a corporate name in Nevis.

If you can’t find the diamond mine now, everything will go wrong.

“okay. I will go to Africa.”

.

.

.

After taking a look at the 5th factory that was acquired this time, we will depart for Africa.

After expanding the basement space, the gate was taken out.

cool-

The space under the arch shuddered and the teleportation gate opened.

“I’ll go in first!”

hiss-

Kim Seo-yeon passed through the gate.

I tracked her location.

I could feel Kim Seo-yeon’s energy right under my feet.

Surprisingly, Plant 5 was located 4,500 meters underground in Gangnam, Seoul.

I passed through the teleportation gate.

After exiting the long aisle, a cube building in the distance where the elixir was stored caught my eye.

“I’ll go to the building and find the entrance!”

Kim Seo-yeon analyzed the buildings of the elixir extraction facility that she had discovered so far and found the pattern of the entrance location.

So she can easily find the entrance by herself.

hiss-

Kim Seo-yeon flew towards the building.

‘Should I go to the place where the gold is?’

All elixir extraction facilities had the same gold location.

If you go through the gate and walk about 1 km in the direction of 1 o’clock, you will find the gold.

I moved slowly as if I were going for a walk.

‘It’s a nice view.’

Red-headed cranes were sitting on the winding pine trees.

It was like watching an oriental painting.

rippling-

A clear stream was also flowing.

The mother deer and her calves were drinking.

however,

Something was aiming at the deer.

It was not a beast like a wolf or wildcat.

Surprisingly, it was a man who was aiming for a deer.

‘Why are people here!?’

A man with wild hair and a shaggy beard was aiming a bow at a deer.

I don’t know why there are people inside the elixir extraction facility.

But when I thought about it, there was no law saying that people shouldn’t exist.

It may be that people have lived here for generations since the underground space was built and are still surviving.

I quietly watched the man’s actions.

hiss-

he shot the bow

However, his bow skills were poor.

Far from hitting, the arrow flew to the wrong place and stuck.

Tata that-

The deer were frightened and ran away.

The man looked at the deer running away with empty eyes and murmured.

“f*ck!”

huh?

I was bewildered.

It was because the man’s pronunciation was similar to ‘that word’ commonly heard in American movies.

self-

I turned into an old man.

After that, he pretended to be popular.

When he saw me, he was startled and sat down.

“[Who, who are you?!]”

The words that really came out of his mouth were English.

I slowly tore him apart.

He was not wearing a single thread, but he had a watch on his wrist.

“Who are you? How did you get here?”

“[I asked you first!]”

I started with my introduction.

“I am an archaeologist.”

Then the man shouted with a welcome look.

“[oh! Are you from Philadelphia? The accent is completely our local!]”

Now, in his ears, my Korean was being heard in the Philadelphia dialect.

I roughly looked around.

“No, the person who taught me to speak English was from Philadelphia.”

“[ah···. I see.]”

“It doesn’t matter now! How did you get here?”

“[Oh right! Do you have your box? I’ve been stuck here for 15 years because I didn’t have that box!]”

It was clear that the box the man was referring to was a stone box.

“Did you use a stone box to get in here too?”

Then the man tilted his head.

“A stone box? No, I came in using the Golden box…”
