Gold and Silver Alchemist

I showed him the stone box and asked.

“You didn’t come in using this, did you?”

“[What is that? This is the first time I’ve seen that, but you mean you can move the elevator with that stone?]”

Rather, he looked at the stone box and put on an expression of disbelief.

Anyway, I found out that there is another ‘key’ that can step into the elixir extraction facility.

I changed the direction of the question.

“Are you also looking for an elixir?”

“[Elixir? What else is that?]”

“A golden liquid.”

“[No, I don’t know about that.]”

Even if you put an empty box without an elixir on the altar, the elevator won’t work.

Since he had come here, he naturally assumed that he would know about the elixir.

But he didn’t know anything about the elixir.

Could the golden chest be able to activate the elevator without an elixir?

Then, what the hell is the identity of the box?

I had a lot of questions, but for now, I listened to the man.

“[I came here to find gold.]”

The man pointed his finger across the creek.

A large golden bell was placed there.

Not just one, but countless.

The gold in the elixir extraction facility was in the shape of a temple bell, not an animal.

“[They are about the same size as the famous bell in the Gyeongju Museum!”]

The bell he was talking about was the ‘Divine Bell of King Seongdeok’ of Silla.

However, the golden bell here did not have a beautiful flying angel pattern.

And there is no hook used to hang the bell.

It wasn’t made for the purpose of producing sound.

“[The bell in the museum is made of bronze and weighs 18.9 tons. It’s a similar size of gold, so it must weigh 40 tons!”]

“How do you know so well about the Divine Bell of King Seongdeok?”

“[When I came to Gyeongju, Korea 15 years ago, I researched various things. I am also an archaeologist by name. Anyway, that’s 249 golden papers! 10,000 tons in all! More gold than the US Central Bank holds! however···.]”

The expression of the man who was excited about gold suddenly drooped.

“[What do you do when you have that much gold? Betrayed by a friend I trusted and imprisoned here for 15 years… Seriously, if you can eat just one hamburger, it’s not a waste to give all that gold to others!]”

“But how did you come here? Did you come to Gyeongju following the golden legend of Silla?”

“[I didn’t come here because I was attracted to something obscure like a legend. The golden box led us to the race.]”

A strong intuition flashed through my mind at the words ‘I guided’.

The golden box was clearly a ‘compass’ pointing to the location of the elixir extraction facility.

He was looking for a way to find all the elixir extraction facilities on Earth at once, and he may have found the clue.

“Can you elaborate? What happened 15 years ago?”

“[that is···. You have to go back a bit longer to understand what I’m talking about.]”

The man started talking about his youth.

After receiving a master’s degree in archeology from a prestigious American university, he became a treasure hunter, a dream since childhood.

“[Treasure hunters are, after all, grave robbers. I traveled all over the world and dug up other people’s graves, but the income was not as good as I thought. There were a lot of cases where I couldn’t even get my travel expenses.]”

It was difficult to make a living by robbery alone, so he took a job as a ‘mystery researcher’ as a side job.

He made a living by manipulating videos and photos of UFOs, aliens, and super-ancient civilizations and selling them to third-rate magazines.

He even went to the Grand Canyon to paint murals himself to create more realistic works.

“[After I drew a picture of a Neanderthal hunting a mammoth, I additionally drew some UFOs in the sky and sent them pictures, and I got about $3,000. Kkeuk!]”

He laughs as he recalls his past actions.

Then he opened his mouth again with a serious expression.

“[Then I saw the real thing! It was a long time ago, but it is still vivid!]”

He witnessed a fight between gangsters in the Grand Canyon Valley.

“[There was a 1v6 fight between a 4m tall giant and a group of average heights. It must be that they were both aliens!]”

“Why do you think so?”

“[The technology they used was not invented by humans!]”

The assailants used light-emitting weapons and flew through the skies without flight suits.

“[Two extraterrestrial races must have been fighting! However, both weapons and armor seemed to have the same material. Everything was shining in rainbow colors.]”

At the word ‘rainbow light’, Orihalcon came to mind.

“[They are fighting so fast in the sky and flashing, I thought they were watching a movie!]”

Their fight was gorgeous enough to remind of a battle scene in a sci-fi movie.

Anyway, the battle ended with the giant’s victory.

“[The tall guy took down all 6 people by himself. Then they dispose of the enemy’s corpse. It wasn’t even burned, but the corpses, armor, and weapons all turned to dust! After that, he picked himself up and fell down!]”

The giant also fell down and couldn’t get up, probably due to severe injuries received during the battle.

“[Hidden behind a rock and watched for half a day.]”

When the giant did not move for a long time, the man judged that the giant was dead and went closer to examine it.

“[Only the armor and weapon remained, no body!]”

The man found a golden box lying next to the giant’s empty armor.

“[I tried to pick up the belongings left by the aliens, but they were too heavy.]”

The armor as well as the weapons were too heavy for men to carry.

In the end, he took only the small golden box and moved to Las Vegas.

The closest city to where he was was Las Vegas.

“[I checked the material of the box in Las Vegas, and it was only gold in color.]”

Even though the box wasn’t golden, the man wasn’t too disappointed.

Because alien weapons and armor were worth far more than gold.

I wanted to take a lift-equipped truck and load the armor and weapons right away, but I couldn’t.

It was because I had an appointment to meet with a colleague who graduated from the same university in China.

“[Because we decided to rob an aristocrat’s tomb near Qin Shi Huang’s tomb together.]”

Since the alien’s belongings were located deep in the valley of the Grand Canyon, where people do not reach, it seemed that there would be no problem even if they went to find them later.

So the man moved to Xian, China, where the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is located.

And there, he dug with his motive and was able to obtain quite a lot of gold nugget.

“[In all, we found about 7 kg of gold.]”

In terms of today’s market price, it was worth about 500 million won.

After having fun for the first time in a while, they had a toast in a hotel room in China.

And the man, drunk with white wine, brought out a golden box in front of his brother.

“[Drunk and made the biggest mistake of my life.]”

The man told his classmate what he had witnessed at the Grand Canyon.

Naturally, the motive did not believe the man’s words.

He even raised a blood vessel in his neck and shouted that he wasn’t lying.

Then, without thinking, he put the gold nugget he had stolen from the tomb into the box.

Then, a thin beam of light emanated from the box.

“[The light seemed to be pointing in some direction!]”

Late at night, they moved in the direction indicated by the light on the box.

Then, we arrived at a point 3km south of the Terracotta Army of the Emperor’s Mausoleum of Jinshi.

There was an old stone altar there.

“[I put a golden chest in the groove on top of the altar and it went down!]”

They took the elevator to the underground space.

Then, he passed through the teleportation gate he found there and entered the elixir extraction facility.

There, he found a lot of gold beyond imagination.

“[But there was no way to move the gold.]”

There was no immediate way to take the gold found in China out of the country.

So they decided to go back to America and make plans to come back.

“[At the time, the fastest flight was via Incheon Airport in Korea.]”

As they arrived at Incheon Airport, the light from the golden box began to point to a place other than the tomb of Emperor Qinshi.

They followed the light and arrived at Gyeongju.

The man who discovered gold in Korea was also madly delighted.

“[If there were similar places on American soil, there would be no need to smuggle the gold there! Much easier to cash out! Then it’s really, really great!]”

However, the most terrible misfortune came along with the happiest moment of my life.

The motive he trusted betrayed himself.

The man fell after being hit in the back of the head by a stone thrown by his comrade.

Even while bleeding and wandering between death and death, the man could not understand his brother’s actions.

“[Even in the middle of dying, I was so dumbfounded that I asked him! Why are you trying to kill me when you have so much gold! Even if the two of us share it, we’ll never use it up and die!]”

However, the reason why the motive tried to kill the man was too much gold.

“[They said they had so much gold that they were even more reluctant to share it! Kkeuk!]”

The motive took the golden box and left this place alone, leaving the bleeding man dying.

“[I thought I was going to die from shedding a lot of blood, but it was strangely quick to recover. I didn’t die and came back to life, so I lived alone for 15 years.]”

hmm-

I’ve heard all about men’s ejaculation.

But I needed to see if what he said was true.

I put my hand on the man’s head.

“[What are you doing?]”

“I’m alone.”

pat-

The 24-hour memory of a man entered my head.

His day was very simple.

I woke up in the morning, ate the leftover grilled fish from last night’s dinner, and started hunting.

He pulled the bowstring with tenacity to eat ‘meat’, but every time he failed to hunt deer.

‘It’s not a lie.’

Previously, you could only know the opponent’s past actions through ＜Memory Reading＞.

However, after using it often, I can read the emotions I felt in the past.

so i knew

The man had been repeating a simple life like today for a very long time.

It was not a lie to say that he had been locked up here for 15 years.

Also, I could read the emotions he felt while talking to me a little while ago.

It was an absurd story from the appearance of aliens, but his words were not lies.

‘then.’

He told me the truth, so I’ll give him a glimpse of my truth too.

I put my hand on his shoulder.

‘acceptance.’

hiss-

The man went into the inventory.

.

.

.

humming-

I drove my car and came to a hamburger shop.

hiss-

I took the man from the inventory into the passenger seat.

He looked around in amazement and cried out.

“[Where are we? And who are you?]”

I had my original face.

“[What are these clothes? When did you dress me?]”

It was in the state of putting on clothes in the inventory.

Because you can’t take a naked person with you.

“[What the hell did you do to me!?]”

“Ask one at a time. And shouldn’t we start by saying thank you? I brought a person who had been imprisoned for 15 years outside.”

“[Ah… first of all, thank you…]”

“Make your order first.”

“[yes? What order?]”

“He said he wanted to eat a hamburger.”

“[uh?!]”

Only then did the man realize that this was a hamburger shop.

As I entered the drive-thru, the voice of a salesperson came out of the speaker.

＜Hello, I’m happy to help with your order.＞

Crying-

The man, looking at the hamburger on the menu, clenched his teeth as if trying to hold back his rising emotions.

Then, with tears welling up in my eyes, I started ordering hamburgers.
