Gold and Silver Alchemist

When Choi Minhyuk didn’t answer, she asked again and again.

“[Are you from Shinra too? that’s right?]”

In other words, she herself is a person from the Shilla Dynasty.

A strange thought popped into Choi Min-hyuk’s head.

‘Was Hongcheon used to be Silla?’

Choi Min-hyeok’s hometown was Hongcheon, Gangwon-do.

I wondered which country Hongcheon belonged to during the Three Kingdoms period.

Quick-witted Kim Seo-yeon sent a telepathic message to Choi Min-hyuk.

[The land where Hongcheon is now located was the territory of Baekje in the late 3rd century, and became the territory of Goguryeo in the late 4th century. And in the middle of the 6th century, it became the land of Silla.]

I played Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla once.

The ancestors who lived there at the time must have suffered quite a lot.

Anyway, since Silla eventually unified the Korean Peninsula, Choi Min-hyeok could also be said to be a descendant of Silla.

There was a reason why the language she uses is similar to Korean.

This is because the language of the tribes centered on Gyeongju developed into the language of Silla, and as Silla unified the three kingdoms, it became the official language of the Korean Peninsula.

“Silla people… that’s right.”

“[nice to meet you! I didn’t expect to meet people from Shinra here!]”

hiss-

She put her helmet in her inventory.

he showed his face

White skin, large single-lid eyes, clear pupils, and ebony-black hair.

Her face was indeed that of a Korean woman.

And even by modern standards, she was a stunning beauty.

The ancient Koreans were asleep in the elixir extraction facility at the North Pole.

It seemed that she had many secrets.

Since Shilla was destroyed in the 10th century, she still speaks of ‘Silla people’ and has been sleeping here for at least 1,000 years.

“[Then why did you wake me up? What’s going on outside?]”

When Choi Min-hyeok introduced himself as a person from Silla, she became friendly.

It would be nice to ask questions during this time.

“Why the hell was this facility built? Were you also involved in the construction?”

Her eyes widened at the question.

Then he asked in a cold tone.

“[Why are you asking that? Aren’t you guys watchmen?!]”

hiss-

She put the helmet back on.

Then he raised his sword and took a combat stance.

The reason she let go of her guard was because she misunderstood Choi Min-hyeok as a ‘watchman’.

“[Somehow, it was suspicious from the beginning! Even the clothes are different! who the hell are you! How did you get here!]”

hiss-

Minhyuk Choi took out a golden box from his inventory and showed it to her.

I’m trying to see if she knows about this stuff.

“I came in using this.”

“[What is that?]”

She didn’t know anything about the Golden Chest.

hiss-

Choi Min-hyeok took out a stone box and showed it this time.

“You know what?”

“[How do you have that? Who the hell are you?!]”

hiss-

She raised her knife and took a menacing pose.

However, golems with knives surrounded her, and she was unable to move.

hmm-

Minhyuk Choi was lost in thought.

I don’t know if I can get the information I need from her with brute force.

For now, I decided to tie her up so that she wouldn’t see blood unnecessarily.

Then you just have to understand that there is no adversarial relationship.

Minhyuk Choi ordered her.

“stop!”

Then, caught in ＜control＞, she couldn’t move.

But it only lasted for a very short time.

pat-

A white haze similar to steam bloomed from her body.

Minhyuk Choi knew what that was.

The ＜Control＞ magic was broken because the opponent rebelled with more than the standard level.

＜Control＞ exerts the same effect as authority against ordinary people and animals, but it does not exert very strong power against beings beyond that.

＜Control＞ didn’t work for the Orihalcon messengers either.

She shouted as she glared at Choi Minhyuk.

“[How dare you try to restrain me?! No way!]”

swish-

She raised her sword and charged at the nearest golem.

Caen-

Orichalcon blades collided with each other, creating a powerful wave.

The woman who faced the golem with her sword realized that the opponent’s skill was much greater than expected.

Besides, not one person, but several people surrounding him, so it was never a situation where he could win.

‘I have to wake up my colleagues!’

She pretended to step back and headed for another sarcophagus.

The reason Seoyeon Kim took three days to open the sarcophagus was because it was not an official method.

The woman immediately knew how to open the sarcophagus and wake her companions.

Seeing her actions, Choi Min-hyeok realized her intentions.

In the current situation, if she wakes everyone up and rushes to let’s all die together, things will be completely twisted.

‘That doesn’t work.’

hiss-

Choi Min-hyeok moved at high speed and caught her in an instant.

Then he put his hand on her armor.

‘acceptance!’

pat-

A white haze rose again all over her body.

Magic didn’t work in the inventory either.

‘It won’t work in an easy way.’

Minhyuk Choi reached out his hand toward the woman.

chu chu chu chu-

Orihalcon iron bars wrapped around her.

It was created by Choi Min-hyeok to restrain the existence that cannot be locked in the inventory.

A woman imprisoned in a single-person prison shouted to Choi Min-hyuk.

“[You think you can trap me in something like this?]”

Minhyuk Choi nodded with a confident expression.

“huh.”

hiss-

The woman swung her knife at the iron bars.

However, it was made of Orihalcon, so it was not easy to cut.

hiss-

shush-

The woman wielded a knife.

Then one of the iron bars was broken.

But she couldn’t like it.

self-

The broken iron bars were quickly restored.

The woman continued to wield the sword, but the rate at which the iron bars were repaired was much faster than the rate at which they were destroyed.

Eventually she stopped the knife.

And he couldn’t hold back his anger and shouted.

“[Aww, that sucks!]”

Minhyuk Choi told her.

“I am not the one who came to harm you.”

The woman made no reply.

Choi Min-hyeok did to her what happened 15 years ago.

“Six people wearing similar armor to you fought the giant and all died.”

“[what?! The watchmen were wiped out?]”

The woman made a startled expression and then shook her head.

“[No, I don’t believe you!]”

Choi Min-hyeok was annoyed by her suspicious and cheeky girl.

Judging by her personality, even if she was tortured, she would die if she died, and she would never open her mouth.

‘Information or something, just sure…’

If you kill her out of anger, all your efforts so far will be in vain and you will have to go back a long way.

So you have to be patient and calm down to get clues out.

“How are you going to believe me?”

When she was silent, she pointed to the pattern painted on her armor.

There were three concentric circles inside a triangle.

“[Bring those who bear this mark. After meeting them, I will decide whether to believe you or not.]”

“Who are they?”

“[My servants.]”

***

Now that I have finished my work in the US, I will return to Korea.

But it won’t take direct flights.

It was to visit Africa.

After crossing the Atlantic Ocean, he came to Botswana in the southern part of the African continent.

At this point, President Park and Chief Kim were trying to purchase a diamond mine.

However, because of the large corporations sweeping African mines, the brakes were being put on the purchase of mines every time.

I will resolve that matter before returning to Korea.

“Are you here, Chairman!”

President Park and Chief Kim greeted me at the airport.

Everyone’s face was darkened.

“What is the name of the company that is interfering with our work?”

“This is GME!”

GME (global mine enterprise) appeared like a comet about 10 years ago and is rapidly increasing its share in the mining industry.

They are mining various metals such as iron, copper, and gold, but these days, they have been sweeping away diamond mines in Africa.

Except for mines that were difficult for private companies to mine due to civil war or other reasons, most of them were in hand.

“GME is a Chinese company.”

President Park showed me a picture.

“This is the president of GME. My name is Jiang Wei.”

In the meantime, President Park and Manager Kim traveled to various countries in Africa and participated in bidding for diamond mining rights.

When President Park set a bidding price by eavesdropping on another competitor using his special skill properly, GME took the mining rights at a price slightly higher than that without fail.

“They are truly ghosts!”

“But what are you going to do with buying all the mines?”

“It must be a plot to monopolize.”

“Does it become a monopoly at a time like this?”

Then, Chief Kim agreed with my words.

“you’re right. Once upon a time, a British diamond company had a monopoly on rough stones and played around with the amount of mining, but the EU immediately got hit.”

There was a time when a British diamond company worked with a Russian diamond company to move the world’s diamond market.

The company was eventually sanctioned by international organizations and fell into abyss.

“But this time the combination is different. It’s China and Russia.”

Since GME is a Chinese company, this time China and Russia will become the two major mountains of the diamond industry.

Director Kim, who heard what President Park said, reversed his words.

“That’s right, they won’t budge even if an international organization pulls out a knife, not to the extent of throwing slaps at them.”

I asked Mr. Park.

“Where is that person called the chairman now?”

“There is a hotel nearby.”

I broke up with President Park and Chief Kim and moved to a deserted place.

There, it was hidden by invisibility.

Whoops-

I checked the location President Park had marked on the map and flew towards the hotel.

It took less than 5 minutes to reach the hotel.

He was staying in the penthouse on the top floor.

We entered the room through the terrace.

Then I saw Zhang Wei.

He was in his mid-thirties, quite young for the head of a conglomerate.

He was alone in the room.

smart-

Someone knocked on the door of the room.

then he shouted

“[what?]”

“[Room service, Chairman!]”

His bodyguards were waiting outside the front door.

“[Let them in.]”

Two young female employees pushed a cart into the room.

“[Where shall we serve the meal?]”

Zhang Wei pointed to a table on the terrace.

Then the female employees started setting up a table there.

Zhang Wei looked at the backs of the girls with sticky eyes and approached one of them.

And I groped my ass with my hand.

“[Gay! What are you doing?!]”

The female employee glared at Zhang Wei with fierce eyes.

Then he raised his hands up and smiled bitterly.

“[I was just kidding, so don’t get mad!]”

Zhang Wei took something out of his coat pocket.

Then he put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

I knew what it was.

It was a pill containing an elixir.

It was surprising that he had an elixir in his pocket, and it was also surprising that there were pills that could contain it.

‘How could he have something like that?’

The guy who consumed the elixir approached the female employees again.

Then they got scared and backed away.

“[What, what are you trying to do?!]”

“[Stay still.]”

Then the female staff couldn’t move.

“[Take off your clothes.]”

They shuddered and began to take off their clothes.

Then he also took off the gown he was wearing.

A tattoo on his shoulder was revealed.

‘That one?!’

There were three concentric circles inside a triangle.

I found the servant of a woman from Silla.
