Episode 237 Goblin Country -2-
Chairman of the Geumoh Group and a level 7 superhuman.
Seong Hee-young shook her head.
Her neatly arranged hair was covered in dust.
“Mr. Chairman!”
“Protect the Chairman!”
“It’s terrorism!”
Superhumans jump out like grasshoppers from between the collapsed buildings.
No one was hurt, but everyone was covered in dust.
In an instant, a wall of people was created around Seong Hee-young.
As each of them raised their magical power waves to the max, the goblins also reacted.
“What the heck, these Kims?”
“Why are there Mr. Kims in our house?”
“Abby! Go home. Okay?”
Goblins growling like tigers and pulling out guns.
The magic wave grows rapidly.
Didn’t I tell you once?
Goblins don’t have levels, and their levels jump around depending on the opponent.
So now the goblins are at level 5, 6, and 7 and are showing off a serious aura.
“ha…….”
Seong Hee-young let out a soft sigh.
Then he casts a look of utter bewilderment at me, at the collapsed Geumoh Group building, and at the strange world unfolding behind me.
That’s right.
The remains of the Kumoh Group building.
On top of that, a goblin kingdom spread out like a mirage.
Neither the sheep clouds, nor the furry land, nor the fairy wind, nor the ink-and-wash mountains have ever disappeared.
It just folded and was left behind us.
“Your Majesty, what on earth is going on?”
Seong Hee-young asks in a loud voice.
I bowed my head politely.
“I’m sorry. It was an accident.”
“Accident? Accident? What kind of accident would blow up our group building?”
“That’s it… … .”
How do you explain this?
No, even if you fall, why did you fall here of all places?
Even if I had no luck, I thought I would end up somewhere on the outskirts of Seoul.
Gangnam? Samseong-dong?
Moreover, it hit the Kumoh Group building directly.
No, it’s better that way.
If it had been another conglomerate building, it would have been a bigger headache.
If it had fallen into the rooftop or the main temple, I don’t know what would have happened.
While I was wrapping my head, the man next to me started making strange noises.
“Mr. Kim! This is our land!”
“what?”
“This is our land! This is the land we have owned since long ago! That’s why we came here! Do you think we came for no reason?”
What is this?
Danggo-ma rummaged through the scroll, grumbling.
Then he takes out a sheet of hanji that has turned yellow.
Danggoma proudly unfolding the paper.
Of course, I couldn’t read it.
Seong Hee-young manipulated her glasses to translate the content.
“In the 20th year of Wanli, the Inspector General of the Office of the Inspector General Park Jeong-gyun transferred 10 durak? durak of farmland in Gwangju-bu to Danggokma… … What is this?”
“What is it? It’s a land document.”
“Land documents? What’s so shabby about land documents?”
“What the hell is this! I got it directly from the manager! Look here! There’s even a seal stamped on it! It was even notarized by the government office!”
Seong Hee-young’s eyes become cold.
I was dumbfounded too.
Are you saying that this land is yours with just a piece of paper?
… … If you think about it, it makes sense.
But, this is only from the goblins’ perspective.
It’s different from a human perspective.
“Just a moment. Your Majesty.”
“Huh? Why?”
“You said it was the 20th year of Wanli?”
“Oh. I personally received it in the 20th year of Wanli. I received it as a reward for saving an official who was being chased by the Japanese! 10 majigi is a huge piece of land! Wow, I was glad I received it back then. Looking back now, it’s a whole new world!”
“As expected from Danggo Maya.”
“Our village’s best businessman!”
“Danggomaga is the best!”

“Hehehe.”
The goblins raised their thumbs.
That’s how much Danggoma’s nose sticks up like Pinocchio’s.
But I couldn’t agree with the goblins’ logic.
I would first point out one thing.
“The 20th year of Wanli… … Well, I know one thing. It was during the Imjin War. That was about 400 years ago.”
“Imjin War?”
Seong Hee-young asked back, dumbfounded.
“Oh, I see. It’s Emperor Wanli, right? I heard that the Joseon Dynasty used Chinese era names.”
“That’s right. It’s the Manryukje.”
“The Imjin War broke out in 1592… … It really was 400 years ago. That too, 400 years ago.”
Not only Sung Hee-young, but the gazes of the superhumans also grew cold.
In particular, Director Kim, who was standing in front, and who had been Secretary Kim when we first met, had his face wrinkled.
“Do you think the deal from 400 years ago is valid? Your Majesty. I don’t think so either, Your Majesty.”
An expression that said he would have given the order to attack immediately if it weren’t for me.
I also shook my head firmly.
“No. A transaction from 400 years ago? That’s a long time, and the mountains and rivers have changed 40 times. A country has fallen and become independent. How can land documents from that time be effective?”
“That’s a fair point.”
“Huh? Mr. Kim, what do you mean?”
Danggo-ma quickly intervened.
“This is the land document that I fought for! I even had it notarized at the government office! Can’t you see the lord’s seal here? Go to the government office and look for it! There will definitely be a record of it!”
“No. I don’t think so.”
“Why isn’t that there!”
“Because Joseon has already perished.”
“That, that’s it… … .”
“Don’t you know? Joseon was destroyed, became a Japanese colony, and was reborn as the Republic of Korea. So what legal effect does a document notarized by the Joseon government have?”
“That’s ridiculous! The Republic of Korea is Joseon!”
“No, they are two completely different countries.”
How are Joseon, a dynasty, and South Korea, a democratic republic, the same?
Even though it is in fact an aristocratic state, the national system is a democratic state.
The eyes of Danggo-ma, who was holding the land document, shook anxiously.
“Ha, but… … .”
“If you don’t understand, go ask the Jeongjo Ghost. He has clairvoyance, so he will know exactly what he is looking for.”
“No! No! This is my land! My land that I won through wrestling!”
“And it was a scam from the start.”
“Huh?”
“It’s a scam. A scam. Who was that lady just now? The Inspector General of the Office of the Inspector General? I was fooled by that official.”
“What does that mean?”
“It’s simple.”
I once saw the paper that Danggo-ma was holding.
In normal circumstances, that map would have worked normally.
Yes, in normal cases.
In the case of transactions between ordinary people.
“Joseon did not recognize the rights of other races. Don’t you remember?”
“Uh uh… … .”
“At least mutants were recognized as humans after liberation. They were treated as monsters until the Joseon Dynasty. Are you any different? Are your rights stipulated in the Gyeongguk Daejeon?”
does not exist.
Rather, if you reject him as a person with monstrous strength, he will be rejected.
But the land document?
If you take it to the government office, you’ll be lucky if you don’t get beaten with a stick.
If the goblins got angry and attacked the manager, the superhuman central army would come down and beat them up right away.
Danggo-ma tightly grasped the paper and the land document.
“I, I, I… … .”
“It’s invalid even by Joseon Dynasty law, and more than anything, it happened 400 years ago. Land documents for a country that has already fallen have no effect. Land reform was already completed with liberation. This is not your land, it’s Chairman Seong’s land.”
“That can’t be… … .”
The game doesn’t reveal such detailed details.
All I had to do was mediate between the goblins who were telling me to just leave the world and the residents who were swearing that they couldn’t leave.
It was easy because most of them were petit bourgeois.
As I said, if you just throw money at it, that’s it.
But is this Gangnam?
Is this Samseong-dong?
Why does it have to be Geumoh Group again?
It’s been said that enough money is indistinguishable from the god of negotiation.
That statement is wrong.
No matter how much money I’ve earned these days, it’s impossible to compare it to the Kumho Group or the top five conglomerates.
“Haaah.”
Seong Hee-young, who had been listening, let out a long sigh.
“Your Majesty, weren’t they human?”
“Yes. I’m a goblin, not a human.”
“A goblin? The goblin from the fairy tale? Come out, gold, click, click!”
“Yes, that’s the goblin.”
The goblins look at Seong Hee-young with pitiful eyes.
Danggo-ma said, her eyes welling up with tears like a kitten.
“Mr. Kim, I’m sorry, but can we use your land? The world is already connected, so there’s no going back.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Tch. It’s not working.”
Director Kim’s eyes flashed sharply.
“Not human? Great. Let’s throw him in the lab. After about 100 biological experiments, he’ll come to his senses. It’ll be a warning and we can extract data, so that’s good.”
“What? Vivisection? Do you think we’re being subjected to it?”
The goblins rise up.
A stern atmosphere spreads like dark clouds.
Goblins pulling out pistols and shotguns all at once.
The atmosphere shook with uneasiness as he became truly angry.
No, no, no.
The fighting power of goblins is by no means insignificant.
It may look like a bunch of fools, but if they actually fight, wouldn’t the Geumoh Group lose?
Because the Goblin Kingdom forces are several times stronger than the existing forces, as befitting a force from the later episodes.
“Stop it.”
He raised his hands and stopped both sides.
“This incident was indeed a mistake by the goblins. But is that a human experiment? Sir, are you confident that you can handle it?”
“Huh. Those magical creatures that only appear in fairy tales… … .”
“Aren’t each of them stronger than Chairman Sung?”
“yes?”
“I’m telling you clearly, I’m the only one here who can beat them one-on-one. This includes Chairman Sung and the board members of the Kumho Group.”
The goblin that comes out with that much sincerity is strong.
Director Kim looked incredulous.
“That’s impossible. It’s observed as level 0… … .”
“Goblins cannot be observed with ordinary magic. Please look up documents from the Joseon Dynasty.”
“Ahem.”
Director Kim takes a step back.
On the other hand, the goblins had proud faces.
Ascend so high that your shoulders almost touch the sky.
He raised his nose and grumbled.
“Yes, yes. Mr. Kim saw us clearly!”
“Humans! If you don’t want to get hit, offer buckwheat noodles!”
“Tteok too!”
“Meat too!”
“Alcohol too!”
“Ahem. I want you to recognize these elders!”
The goblins who returned from being tigers to being mischievous.
Seong Hee-young stared at the goblins and said.
“Still, I can’t just let it go.”
“I think so too. I think the goblins should compensate the Geumoh Group.”
“Compensation… … .”
Seong Hee-young is lost in thought.
The goblins grumbled behind him.
“This is our land… … .”
“You idiot. I told you it’s not our land.”
“That’s a human standard!”
“Then do you want to chase those humans away?”
“Let’s kick them out!”
“Can you do it?”
“Uh… … What if I beat him up?”
“What if humans come in droves?”
“Well, still we win!”
These guys haven’t come to their senses yet.
Seong Hee-young left it for a moment and turned to the goblins.
“You won? Are you serious? I heard that during the Goryeo Dynasty, there were quite a few people who fought against humans and ended up in hell.”
“that…….”
“Ugh.”
“It was hard back then.”
“You weren’t even born into this world.”
“I heard a lot about it?”
“I heard that the elders were very corrupt back then.”
“Ahem. May you find light in hell.”
“Wow, that’s bad. You’re just sitting there cursing the elders.”
“Then what should I do? It’s true that you fell and went to hell.”
According to folktales, goblins are afraid of blood.
The same goes for Arcane Seoul.
A goblin who kills a human and thus sees blood will inevitably become corrupted.
They refuse alcohol, rice cakes, meat, and buckwheat jelly, and only crave human blood and flesh.
The end is hell.
Even if you are not defeated, your body will melt and you will fall into hell.
The worst ending for goblins who want to live a fun life and then return to nature.
So, even though they fight and argue with humans, they never kill or go to war.
But if you were to be dragged away and subjected to biological experiments, it would be a different story.
I spoke forcefully while looking at Seong Hee-young and the goblins.
“No matter what happens, war is not the answer. If war breaks out, it wouldn’t be strange for Geumoh Group to suffer a blow so severe that it would be eliminated from the top five conglomerates. Would Geumoh Group be the only one to suffer losses? More than half of the goblins here would become corrupted and fall into hell.”
“Wait a minute. Are these people like that?”
“Yes. In my opinion, capturing them alive is nearly impossible, and even if we were to capture and kill them, it would require the South Korean military in the Geumoh Group, plus one of the Eastern or Western armies, and one Mtap.”
“under…….”
“Hehehe, Mr. Kim. This is what we have.”
Those goblins who are just making a fuss for no reason.
Where are these?
If you guys had just done your job properly, you wouldn’t have had to argue with Seong Hee-young.
The comment just came out naturally.
“What are you talking about? You wrestlers.”
“Kyaaaaak!”
A goblin making a cat-like hissing sound.
“Mr. Kim. You too!”
Two goblins with expressions of betrayal like Caesar.
“Well, okay.”
Seong Hee-young touched her ear.
“I never intended to do any experiments on humans in the first place. I don’t know what you think, but I absolutely hate experiments on humans.”
The ears of the Golden Song.
There is a common body and magic circuit inserted into it that is unique to the Geumoh Holy Song.
Seong Hee-young’s father, former chairman of the Geumoh Group, is a writer obsessed with power and authority.
He may not have been a very good father to his own children.
“Since no one died or was injured anyway, I will just accept compensation. Appropriate compensation. And eviction. If these two things are achieved, I will not mention today’s incident any more.”
Seong Hee-young sees goblins.
A neat but bizarre outfit.
An appearance that is neither particularly guilty nor particularly shameful.
A look of doubt as to whether compensation can be properly provided.
It’s only to this extent because I’ve mediated. If it were my usual personality, I would have attacked him.
“So, I have something to suggest to you, the goblins and Chairman Sung.”
“What is it? What is it?”
“Please speak.”
The goblins are staring at me.
Seong Hee-young is also looking at me.
Under the focused gaze, I slowly opened my mouth.
“There is a saying in the world: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
“Uh… … But?”
“Right. So?”
“It’s the same.”
He raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
A space of collapsed skyscrapers.
There’s a strange shadow swaying there.
A goblin country that shimmers like a mirage.
“Land for land. How about paying with real estate?”
