“Hehe, I am a rather talented person. “You must have a good sense of perspective to recognize that.”
“Yes, I have a good sense of perspective.”
Alchemy laughs and scratches her head as Jinhyuk acknowledges her.
Looking at Alchemy like that, Jinhyuk acknowledged.
That means his eyesight is pretty good.
But even such an ordinary conversation can be short-
“I don’t need to know any more about you now.”
“Eh? why? I still have more to say… … .”
Alchemy, immersed in the pleasure of an ordinary(?) conversation for the first time in a long time, caught Jinhyuk, who announced the end of the conversation.
Despite her capture, Jinhyeok’s choice did not change.
“I do not need.”
“… … There’s a story about being chased by the Four Emperors, how you escaped their clutches, and how you came here… … .”
Embarrassed by the waning interest, Alchemy tries to get Jinhyeok’s attention back by recounting what he has experienced.
There were certainly quite a few stories that Jinhyuk would have been interested in, but Jinhyuk just shook his head.
“I said there was no need.”
“… … Hmm, then… … Are you passing away? “Leaving me behind?”
Alchemy was in tears at the sharp, short answer.
A strand of stupid hair growing on top of the head swayed, representing Alchemy’s current mood.
Jinhyeok, who had glanced at the idiot who was moving as if he had intelligence, shook his head again.
“No, it’s okay to go back, but I won’t leave you behind.”
“… … oh.”
Alchemy blushed without knowing when Jinhyuk said a romantic line.
The sight of a prince rescuing a princess trapped in a castle was enough to shake Alchemy, who had been trapped in the basement for quite some time.
Of course, as Alchemy thought, he did not intend to take her away to act as a prince who saves the princess.
“Do you know why I’m not interested in your chase?”
“… … “I don’t know.”
“It would be natural not to know. I’ve already been through what you’ve been through. “That was a long time ago.”
“… … !!!”
Jinhyuk’s bombshell remark suddenly exploded.
At that, Alchemy smiled brightly, stopped blushing and looked at Jinhyuk with a face full of surprise.
“… … You were chased by them too? why? Are you really an alchemist too?”
Jinhyeok responded to Alchemy’s words, thinking that he was an alchemist based on the situation he was in, by flicking his fingers left and right.
“That can’t be true, I don’t even know the ‘kite’ character of alchemy. However, you are not the only one the Four Emperors are targeting. Anyone who interferes with them, hiding all over the world, is on their radar. “I was just one of them, and you were just one of them.”
“… … I never thought that other people besides me were being chased by them, or rather, being hunted. Does this make sense? Why are they called the nobles of the tower… … .”
Alchemy, who realized that she was not the only one being chased by the Four Emperors, muttered with an ecstatic expression on her face.
I thought there must be a good reason why I was chased.
The Philosopher’s Stone was clearly something that went against logic, and he thought that the Four Emperors’ stopping him from completing it would be a way to correct logic.
‘But others also did things that went against the grain, comparable to the Philosopher’s Stone? Does that make sense?’
However, I couldn’t believe that I had done something that went against the grain and was comparable to the Philosopher’s Stone, which allows Jinhyeok and others in front of me to become gods or beings equivalent to gods.
There were too many things that were unclear for it to be said that a single individual was causing trouble at the level of the Philosopher’s Stone and that the Four Emperors were the ones to stop it.
And the answer to that came out of Jinhyuk’s mouth very simply.
“Because it’s annoying.”
Crack-
For the first time, Alchemy revealed the emotion of ‘anger’.
Even when he was locked in the basement and talking about his miserable past when he was chased by the Four Emperors, Alchemy just smiled.
The answer was so simple that Alchemy, who was just grinning like an idiot, gritted her teeth and was not enough to draw out even more anger.
“… … “What do you want from me?”
Alchemy asked Jinhyuk, trying not to notice his trembling fists.
The fact that he is talking about his past and that Jinhyuk is here now proves that Jinhyuk wants something from him.
Jinhyuk nodded and said.
“Originally, I was going to hire you as a freelancer. “The interest does not increase during the period of employment, and the materials needed to make the goods are supplied, and when the goods made are handed over, the amount of the goods’ cost is deducted from the debt.”
“… … This is a very good method. This is treatment at the level of a full-time employee, not a freelancer. “Why don’t you just hire me as a full-time employee?”
150 million gold.
Owing a huge amount of money means that a huge amount of interest will continue to accrue.
Even at this moment, Alchemy’s debt is increasing.
However, if you are hired as a freelancer and work, not only is the interest suspended for the time being, but they also pay all the material costs.
In addition, the product made in that way is paid for and the amount of the price is deducted from the debt.
None of these conditions were bad for Alchemy.
Therefore, Alchemy scolded him, saying that if that were going to happen, wouldn’t it be better to hire him as a full-time employee?
“Yes, I changed my mind after hearing your story. I will recruit you as a member of the guild, ‘Yeokcheon’. “I will entrust you with everything related to alchemy.”
“… … Heh? No no, wait a minute. Guild? Reverse stream? “I know that handsome Oppa is a great person, but wasn’t the guild leader there Goldrich?”
Jinhyuk agreed and changed direction by hiring Alchemy as a full-time employee.
Alchemy couldn’t help but be surprised.
The reason why Jinhyuk responded sincerely to what was said as a joke was because, aside from the fact that Jinhyuk had the authority to recruit guild members at will, it was also a problem.
but-
“This guy is the boss of pants. The real one is me.”
“… … Excluding Goldrich, there is only one person who is presumed to be the guild leader of Yeokcheon… … Hey, oppa, it can’t be true, right?”
My trembling pupil was hoping that he would tell me it wasn’t him.

Sigh-
“… … “If you are a ghost.”
The moment Jinhyuk took the mask out of his arms and put it on, the hypothesis became reality.
“Now then, shall we start by writing the guild membership contract?”
“Hey, is there any rejection… … .”
“Do you think it will work?”
“Hey… … I guess so? Well, then, please take care of me from now on.”
Alchemy nodded with a sigh because the answer she asked as if she was considering rejection was cold.
Alchemy.
In addition to being the best alchemist in the tower, she was a debtor who owed a huge amount of 150 million gold, and a debtor could not even drink a sip of water on his own in front of his creditor.
In this way, Alchemy, the top alchemist and debt collector, joined the guild, ‘Yeokcheon’.
Although it was semi-forced – * * *
“So what should I do?”
“Please pass on the details to Goldrich. I will give you everything you ask for. Whether it’s research facilities, money, or anything else. “Just as long as you don’t just take money from it.”
“… … “I already owe over 100 million won, so it’s better to just work than to take bribes like that, right?”
“You never know.”
After completing the guild membership contract.
Alchemy asked Jinhyuk what he should do.
“Anyway, so now that we can leave this musty basement, what am I going to make? “If you look at what I found, I don’t think it’s anything ordinary.”
You’re quick-witted.
Alchemy, who is often seen looking foolish, is talented enough to be called a genius among geniuses in his field.
Naturally, Jinhyeok immediately realized that what he was looking for was an item that other alchemists could not easily make, or even if they did, the quality was poor.
Jinhyeok, who realized that far, nodded softly and answered.
“There are a total of two things you need to make. You can make the latter a little later. “If only I could make it.”
“Two… … “It doesn’t look out of the ordinary.”
“I guess so, the first one… … It is a sectional stone. “And it is of the highest quality and highest quality.”
The first item that Alchemy had to make was, of course, sectional steel.
As she had already made a rant to Melton and Muyoung, she absolutely had to make a high-grade and top-quality stone.
And the first item was cleared very easily.
thud-
“Are you talking about this?”
A heavy stone chunk taken out of the subspace within one’s arms.
The stone block, which spewed out rainbow colors as if it had many colors, was not ordinary at first glance.
“Subspace? How on earth did you hide it? No, this is all… … .”
“It’s shaped steel. “It is a high-quality product, and the highest-quality product still remains in subspace.”
Hydraulic stone.
It was an item that Alchemy took out from subspace, which even Goldrich could not find.
And it was what Jinhyuk wanted.
“… … “Have you seen the future?”
“Hey, what kind of nonsense is that? I can’t believe I can see the future. “I’m not a god.”
“Then how come you have the sheet metal I need?”
Jinhyuk wondered if Alchemy could create a potion that would allow him to see the future, but that wasn’t the case.
just-
“You said there was a way to escape from the Four Emperors, right?”
“It did.”
“That’s this sectional stone. To be more precise, I ground this spherical stone to make a potion, or made something like a bast face ball with it and ran away.”
“… … ah.”
Alchemy also needed this sectional stone.
The Four Emperors.
Their sensing and detection are amazing.
Since their eyes and ears were spread throughout the entire tower, it was almost impossible for Alchemy, a non-combatant, to escape their grasp.
‘That was quite interesting, was it this way? You can fool your eyes and ears by changing your body, face, and voice. This is why the Four Emperors were unable to capture Alchemy.’
However, there was nothing that could not be done if Alchemy followed the method suggested.
In the end, the eyes and ears of the Four Emperors would have conveyed only the true appearance of Alchemy that they knew.
Of course, it seemed impossible for someone else to suddenly find Alchemy who had changed.
Of course, it would be different if the Four Emperors themselves came forward, but-
‘At best, there is no way the Four Emperors would go out on a search or something like that. ‘It’s obvious they’ll just go ahead and deal with it.’
The problem is that the Four Emperors, with their noble pride, cannot directly embark on an operation that is at best an exploratory operation.
Thanks to their noble pride, Alchemy eventually escaped their hands and survived and was now in front of Jinhyeok.
“… … Phew, yes. “Then take out everything you have and give it to me, and coordinate the exact price with Gold Rich.”
“Oh yeah! If I sell all of this, I still get 20 million gold, right? You got it! “There weren’t many people living there anyway!”
“Twenty million? “It’s definitely expensive compared to its usefulness.”
“Because its usefulness is so limited. And there aren’t many alchemists like me who can make potions or bastards with ferrite.”
A rock the size of a fist is in front of me.
Jinhyeok clicked his tongue when he heard that several such stones were worth as much as 20 million gold.
Although she made it for her own escape, it was just an ornamental stone to her who no longer had to escape.
“How many of them are there?”
“There are 8 good quality products and 1 top quality product. Oh, of course, there are 8 including the ones in front of you.”
“Yes, I buy everything. Additionally, I would like to request additional production of top quality and premium products. Is it possible?”
“It’s okay! I got it, really. “With orders like this, I’m sure the debt will be repaid quickly, right?”
Helix stone is expensive and does not sell well.
An ideal deal that provides all the materials needed to make him and even buys the shaped steel he made.
Alchemy cried out in joy.
of course-
“We will calculate it excluding the cost of materials. “To be precise, I’m paying your labor costs.”
Jinhyeok, Goldrich, and Yeokcheon were not philanthropists.
“… … Sheesh, please give me what I originally had. “That’s because I bought the ingredients with my own money.”
“I get it.”
In the end, Alchemy knew that it would be of sufficient benefit to her, so she nodded and continued to rummage around in her arms and take out the fluorite stones.
Thump- Thump- Thump-
A bag containing shaped steel stones was placed on the basement floor, creating a heavy sound.
After checking the pockets that were piling up one by one, Jinhyuk put them all into his subspace coat.
“Now that I think about it, I think I have some subspace items. Why wasn’t that taken away? “There’s no way that Goldrich guy would have left behind anything that could help you escape.”
And after the transaction was over, Jinhyuk asked Alchemy to answer his questions.
Just looking at the clothes they are wearing, they look similar to prison uniforms.
The story goes that Goldrich recovered all of his clothes.
Nevertheless, Alchemy had her own subspace items.
I couldn’t help but wonder how they had hidden it, or if there was some sort of cognitive-impairing magic that was being used to deceive others’ attention.
But Jinhyuk had to regret asking the question.
“They didn’t bring any underwear. And my subspace is in my underwear!”
“… … ha.”
In response to a sigh, Jinhyuk touched his forehead and sighed.
“… … evil! this… … “You can’t go anywhere and talk about this!”
“… … “I won’t tell you, so calm down.”
And Jinhyeok had to sweat hard to calm down Alchemy, who was stuttering with a red face, as if she had noticed something strange about what he was saying.
