Episode 407
Goldrich Workshop.
Of these, the largest space was naturally assigned to the alchemy workshop.
No matter how big a blacksmith’s workshop can be built, there is a limit to its size, but there is no limit to an alchemy workshop.
Moreover, no matter how many facilities are built for Alchemy, who can be called the best alchemist, it will never be enough.
That is why the workshop assigned to Alchemy was larger than any other workshop, and there was a wide flat area around it for new buildings to be built.
“It’s bigger here than before.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Of course, Jinhyeok and his group didn’t feel particularly moved even after seeing that.
It was grand and huge, but that was all there was to it, so there was no reason to be surprised.
In order to surprise them now, all that was needed was not a huge workshop complex, but Alchemy suddenly becoming a climber who overpowered Jinhyeok.
But the chances of such a hypothesis becoming reality were very low, so they wouldn’t have been surprised.
dripping-
I knocked lightly on the workshop door to let them know that a guest had arrived, but there was no response from inside.
In the end, Jinhyuk opened the door that wasn’t even closed and went inside.
‘It’s been like that since before, but he really is a jerk. I don’t know how this kind of person became an alchemist who surpasses other alchemists.’
Jinhyuk shook his head at the fact that there was an alchemist in the entire tower who couldn’t even properly close the entrance to the workshop, which could potentially pose a threat to his own safety.
Thud thud-
Jinhyuk stepped into the spacious workshop and quickly headed towards the laboratory where Alchemy was.
It was an action he took because he knew that even though she had the best accommodations and chefs prepared for her in the huge workshop complex, she was just shut in her study, napping and chewing on bread.
“Alchemy.”
When Jinhyuk called her, seeing the familiar black hair sticking out like antennae from the lab far away, she responded right away.
“… … Ugh, ugh!”
“… … Drink some water.”
“Kah… … Kamsahap… … Hup!”
Gulp, gulp!
He must have been eating, because he had half a loaf of bread left in his hand.
Jinhyuk almost let out a sigh as he watched Alchemy, who had been choking on the sudden call, gulp down the milk in the glass in front of her, but soon shook his head.
‘Even if it looks like that, I can’t help it since I’m the one asking for it now.’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Alchemy’s fighting ability was the lowest among her peers, but her value was immense.
Alchemy that increases Goldrich’s wealth and the production of potions that provide extra lives for his companions.
But Alchemy had the ability to create something even more important than all of those things combined.
“Alchemy.”
“… … Big! Yes, it’s been a while. Guild Leader! Why did you come all of a sudden?”
“I think it’s time to create a Philosopher’s Stone.”
“… … !!!”
Philosopher’s stone.
A story we shared when we first encountered alchemy in the past.
An object that allowed the Rothschild family on Earth to accumulate enormous wealth, but which was nothing more than a deteriorated version.
But the philosopher’s stone that Jinhyeok was talking about now wasn’t a deteriorated version like that.
“… … Are you sure you’re not going to make an original?”
“okay.”
“oh my god!”
text.
Alchemy was shocked and lost her usual dazed demeanor when she heard that he would create the original ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ that would grant powers on par with gods even to an ordinary human.
“Are you serious?”
“Why would I insist on telling lies?”
“… … No.”
“I need the recipe for what you call a Philosopher’s Stone prototype, or a deteriorated version. With that, I can make the original. So I’m asking right now. Can you make a deteriorated version of the Philosopher’s Stone?”
“… … .”
Alchemy was momentarily lost in thought as she watched Jinhyeok get straight to the point.
She knew what answer she had to give, but couldn’t answer right away. Eventually, unable to bear the gaze of Jinhyeok staring at her, she opened her mouth.
“Yes and no.”
‘Yes’ and ‘no’.
Jinhyuk looked at Alchemy, who was giving two answers at the same time, and asked back.
“Why?”
“The reason I can do it is because I have a list of materials needed to make the Philosopher’s Stone in my head, along with the exact measurement method. The reason I can’t do it is because I don’t have all of those materials.”
Jinhyuk, who realized that Alchemy had a reason for this with one or two answers, pointed out the blind spot in what she had said.
“The reason you say that is because you know where all those ingredients are gathered.”
“… … As expected from our guild leader. You’re quick-witted.”
I realized that the reason he mentioned the ‘ingredients’ and said he didn’t have them was no different from subtly saying that he at least knew where the ingredients were.
Jinhyeok immediately asked about the location of the materials.
“Where are you?”
“The Rothschild family. They should have all the alchemical materials in their warehouse.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure. As far as I know, there’s no other place that has all the materials needed to make a Philosopher’s Stone.”
“Good. Then will you follow me to Earth? I will help you create the original Philosopher’s Stone.”
“… … !”

earth.
It allows him to return to his hometown and create the original Philosopher’s Stone, which was his dream.
Alchemy was shocked again by those words, and soon blurted out her thoughts.
“Do you think I can make it?”
“If not you, then no one I know can make it. That’s all.”
“… … Hmm, do you know what materials are needed to make the original?”
“At least I have what is likely to be the materials needed to create the original.”
“… … !”
Hwaaaaah!
As soon as he finished speaking, Jinhyeok spurted out the essence of all the Four Emperors he had acquired not long ago and placed it on his hand.
Four colored essences that emit bright light.
Demon.
Celestials.
Dragon tribe.
Giants.
Four bead-like essences containing the condensed energy of the four races rotate gently on Jinhyeok’s hand.
Alchemy swallowed dryly at the sight of the solemn and oppressive figure, as if watching a planet rotate.
“Could this be… … .”
“The Four Emperors. They are the ones who condense everything that they possess, even those who are worthy of being called high-ranking.”
“……crazy.”
Although both eyes shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred, Alchemy’s gaze did not leave the essences.
It was something that Alchemy himself knew very well.
What I am saying is that the essences that are right in front of you are the materials that will allow you to attempt to create the original.
Alchemy concluded as he saw before his eyes the material that would allow him to achieve the goal he had longed for even before he set foot on the path of becoming an alchemist.
“I’ll go. But there’s one condition.”
“Tell me. If it’s reasonable and I can do it, I’ll do whatever it takes.”
Jinhyuk nodded and said that he would accept Alchemy’s conditions, which were to grant him what he wanted.
“I told you that the materials would be gathered in the Rothschild family’s warehouse.”
“That’s right.”
“I’m going to tear this place down. So lend me the power to do it.”
“… … !”
Raise your own family tree.
Even though the process could cause enormous damage, Alchemy did not hesitate at all.
Rather, Jinhyuk was slightly surprised.
But the surprise didn’t last long.
Shhh-
“The contract has been concluded.”
Jinhyuk, with a deep smile on his face, accepted Alchemy’s offer and extended his hand.
Tub-
Alchemy grabbed Jinhyeok’s outstretched hand and shook it up and down, smiling brightly. * * *
After Alchemy joined.
Jinhyuk gathered all the items she needed from Alchemy’s workshop and then headed straight to the blacksmith’s workshop.
“Oh, you’re here?”
“Are we still talking?”
“… … Yes, let’s go in and take a look.”
What Jinhyuk saw as he entered the workshop, passing by Tune, who was laughing awkwardly, was quite shocking.
“Oh, well, the sleeping lower class is the cutest!”
“Huh, sir, do you know the saying ‘Haalmot’?”
“what?”
“I heard that kids these days use abbreviations like this. A person who doesn’t even know the lower class. The abbreviation for that is Haalmot. The cutest thing is when you see them playing in the water with other kids, but how can you not know that!”
“… … Huh, as time passes, the standards of cuteness have changed.”
Muyeong and Ryu Hwan are having a heated discussion.
The face of Ha-ryu, who had been listening to the two people’s discussion, turned bright red and he soon shouted at the two of them.
“What are you two doing!”
“… … Oh my, my eardrums are ringing.”
“Honey, the adults are talking.”
“what!”
Haryu was indignant at the sight of Ryu Hwan responding calmly, unlike Muyeong who was staggering while covering his ears, but Jinhyeok stepped forward and stopped her.
“We’re done with our work, so we’re going to go first. We came here to say hello in advance, so let’s go now.”
“Are you leaving already?”
“There is a lot to do.”
“… … Okay, I’ll just stay here a little longer-”
“Ryu Hwan, come out quickly too!”
“… … Tsk, these days, kids’ manners towards adults are really at rock bottom.”
Hye-rin disappeared to help Ryu-hwan, who had gotten up from his seat while groaning, as he followed him out of the workshop, leaving only Jin-hyeok and Mu-yeong behind in the workshop.
In the first place, Tam and Miho didn’t come in because they were busy harassing Alchemy outside.
The two people who were left alone like that stared blankly at each other.
“Please take care of me.”
“Don’t worry, I was thinking about that anyway.”
Although it was stiff, it was typical of Jinhyeok, so Mooyoung smiled and waved his hand.
“Go away. I don’t want to keep a busy guy around for too long.”
“… … .”
In response to the obvious order to swear at him, Jinhyuk said nothing, only nodded slightly as he finished his greeting and left the workshop.
Feeling the bustling workshop suddenly become quiet, Muyeong thought back to when he first met Jinhyeok and when he heard about his ambitions.
“… … I just thought he was crazy.”
A guy who, instead of avoiding someone stronger than him, would always confront them with all his might.
A guy who founded a guild to declare war against the invincible beings known as the Four Emperors.
I thought it was pointless, I thought it was impossible, I thought I was crazy.
But Moo-young shook his head and picked up the hammer at the fact that such a crazy guy was keeping his word one by one.
“But I guess it would be okay to prepare the dowry in advance.”
A being who moves forward by repeatedly succeeding at things that were close to impossible.
Furthermore, he is now a being cherished by his subordinates, more precious than anything else.
For that, Muyeong willingly picked up the hammer.
“The Manbyeonhonwonki will suffice for the weapon… … This time, I’ll have to go with the defensive equipment. The name is… … Yes, something like ‘Manbyeonhwagap (萬變化甲)’ will do.”
His efforts to create his new armor that would adorn Jinhyeok’s new appearance soon filled the workshop with the rough, clanging sound of hammers. * * *
After Alchemy joined, Jinhyuk and his group headed to a secluded, uninhabited place and immediately began their journey back to Earth.
“Alchemy. Where are you going?”
“I… … am from America, where my family is. Why is that?”
“I have some business in Korea, so I’ll stop by there for a bit and then head to the US. So, for now, you’ll have to go to the US by yourself.”
“Huh? That’s ridiculous! If I did that, the elders of the family wouldn’t leave me alone?!”
When Alchemy opened her eyes wide and started to struggle in shock at being told to go to the Rothschild family alone, Jinhyuk nodded as if he had expected that to happen.
“I have already been warned about your safety. Do you think I would accept putting you in danger when you are the one who will help me more? Tune, Basil. You two stay by Alchemy’s side and protect her.”
“Yes. As ordered.”
“Hehe, Earth… … The master’s home dimension. How fun!”
Tune and Basil.
The commanders of the legions are special beings among the soul soldiers and lead the legions.
If we keep them together, not just one, but two, then at least there will be no one on Earth who can threaten them.
Of course, if only the two of them were put together, there could be problems, so Tune immediately asked the question.
“How many legions will you take with you?”
corps.
The military power of the legion commanders Tune and Basil is strong, but their true strength is revealed when they command the legion.
Therefore, depending on how many legions you assign to them, their strength and Alchemy’s safety will increase.
“All of it. I gave half to Balkan and Ashur Hum, so you take the remaining half.”
“… … What do you mean?”
“I’m just an empty can. Why? Are you worried?”
“… … How could that be? Then I will accept it.”
Knowing that, Jinhyuk handed over his remaining legions to Tune and Basil without hesitation.
As Jinhyeok had said, this meant that Jinhyeok had become an empty can, but both Jinhyeok and Tune, who had accepted the legion, knew very well that Jinhyeok was by no means an empty can.
Jinhyuk waved his hand lightly at them as he watched Tune, who had bowed his head and accepted the legion, stand behind Alchemy.
“Then when the time comes, I will go and find it.”
“……yes!”
Alchemy, who seemed particularly happy, either because she was going back to Earth or because she was going to cause trouble for her family, disappeared first, holding Tune and Basil’s hands.
“Okay, then shall we go?”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“me too.”
-I’m looking forward to it too!
-… … Miho too.
Jinhyeok opened his mouth while holding Hye-rin and Haryu’s left and right hands, respectively, who were holding Miho, who had returned to her small dragon and fox forms for their trip to Earth.
“I apply for return to Earth.”
[… … Confirmation of return to Earth.]
[Confirmed that the conditions have been met.]
[Where would you like to return to?]
Jinhyuk looked at the message sent by the tower’s system that confirmed that the return conditions had been met and immediately gave his answer as if there was nothing to think about.
“Seoul, South Korea. The closest location to there.”
One of the many countries on Earth.
However, the Republic of Korea cannot be simply dismissed as a place of home.
Among them, in accordance with Jinhyeok’s will to choose Seoul, a large city and capital, the tower has completed preparations to send Jinhyeok and his group to Earth.
[Confirmed.]
[If you wish to return to the tower, please head to the nearest tower entrance.]
[Then, I hope you have a pleasant return.]
Paaaaat!
A bright halo that seemed to blind both eyes.
With him, Jinhyuk returned to Earth two years and a few months after first setting foot on the tower.
Of course, it was different when he returned than when he had entered the tower alone after his reincarnation, in that he had quite a large number of family members with him, but a return was a return.
