Gold Stacking Kim Sa-je -2-
“Gold?”
Father Kim frowned.
“That’s so inefficient.”
What the hell are you talking about?
Then why did you go crazy and run towards gold in the game?
As I stared at him intently, Father Kim spoke again, as if emphasizing it.
“It’s really old, but our church also had that argument. Since God is the God of wealth, we should burn gold as a sacrifice instead of money, as in the old days.”
“So?”
“It was proven to be too inefficient. It is clear that he does grant divine power, but it would have been much better to burn money instead. When comparing the same divine power. After that, all the priests who insisted on offering gold were branded heretics and excommunicated.”
weird.
It was definitely gold in the game······
I frowned and tried to remember.
Arcane Seoul is a mobile game, so it lacks descriptions of such detailed parts.
You can only know this if you read the printed dialogue and character descriptions carefully.
‘At that time, clearly······’
Kim Sa-je’s personal quest is to return to the church.
I have a vivid memory of us shouting at each other, calling each other heretics.
And as Father Kim clearly said.
That I must offer gold.
Burning the gold, burning it······ What was behind it······
‘ah!’
I finally remembered.
“You can’t just burn it.”
“yes?”
“If you burn gold, it’s still gold. To do it properly, you have to boil it and turn it into a gas.”
“You actually evaporated it?”
You evaporated it?
Isn’t the boiling point of gold almost 3,000 degrees?
Anyway, if there are fanatics who are crazy about just one thing, it’s unmanageable.
Now I know how things work.
I would say it was clearly inefficient.
How easy would it be to achieve a boiling point of 3,000 degrees?
Even in modern times, rocket engines only reach temperatures of 3,000 degrees.
Implementing it on a small scale would require magical abilities and massive financial resources.
The belly button is bigger than the stomach.
But as far as I know, it wasn’t necessary to vaporize gold.
“It is wrong to burn it. As the priest said, burning it is too inefficient. I heard that there is no need to boil gold, but to melt it and make tea to drink.”
“That’s ridiculous. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“I am sure. I saw it with my own eyes.”
“Who did it?”
“I can’t answer that.”
“It seems like a completely heretical logic······”
“Heretical logic? If that were true, he would have lost his divine power.”
I am confident.
In the game, you do that and your god is resurrected?
Father Kim kept muttering that he was a heretic.
What is heresy? On the topic of pseudo-religion.
The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I held them back.
Kim Sa-je, one of the few gentle and gentle people in Arcane Seoul.
You can’t lose anything if you know it.
Why would there be a need to touch the sore spot?
“The method may be wrong.”
“Don’t talk nonsense! This is the method our sect has established for thousands of years! How can you say it’s wrong after all the hard work!”
“Think about it. I acknowledge that the priests and the religious order have worked hard. Isn’t this a religion that has survived for almost 3,000 years even though God has died? That alone is amazing. But isn’t there a reason why God hasn’t been resurrected and hasn’t even found a name yet?”
A flurry of fact-laden attacks.
“Eeeeek!”
Father Kim blushed and stamped his feet.
But I couldn’t say anything in response.
Not only was God dead, his name was also forgotten.
Because that was the biggest weakness of Kim Sa-je’s sect.
“Isn’t it strange in the first place? Why would God accept fiat money as property? He should receive it in kind.”
“Eating and offering are two different things.”
“No. The priest’s digestive organs themselves serve as altars. Just as fire burns away existence, the gold is digested and evaporates, going straight to the priest’s god.”
“That’s ridiculous. How can gold be digested?”
“Oh my, it’s so frustrating. If you really don’t believe me, try it.”
I beat my chest in frustration.
It’s not that I don’t understand.

The god would have been murdered, the sect would have been torn apart and scattered in all directions, hostile inquisitors would have hunted the believers, and in the process, all knowledge would have been lost.
If God were alive, he would have given that much divine power and miracles, but would that be possible in a dead state?
The vicious cycle repeats itself and even the name is forgotten.
It is not a persistent religion that uses persecution as evidence of faith, and it is a religion of deity worship that is widespread in this world, so it can shrink in an instant.
It’s a miracle I survived until now.
Father Kim scratched his head.
Eat gold.
Mix gold powder into tea and drink.
It seems like it reminded me of some incident there.
“Just hearing it makes me feel like it’s an incredibly sacrilegious thing.”
“Because the god you serve died like that?”
“······You know a lot.”
“Nothing will be accomplished if you do as you say. Mr. Priest, is there a level 4 superhuman in your sect right now?”
“that······”
“No matter how small the scale, isn’t it a religious order that has been around for over 3,000 years? How can it be that the bishops of such a religious order are of the third level? There aren’t even any archbishops or patriarchs.”
“Ugh!”
“Any other religious sect, even a pseudo-sect, has about level 5. Even dead gods and forgotten gods exert that much power. What about the priest’s sect?”
“Ha. I have nothing to say.”
“I can say this with certainty. The reason why high-level superhumans do not emerge is because the method of training, or rather the method of praying itself, is wrong.”
“But before I burned the money, there was no level 2, let alone level 3.”
“I admit that part. It is extremely inefficient to absorb gold by vaporizing it. But if you have found an efficient way to burn money, then can’t you also find an efficient way to eat gold?”
“uh······”
Kim Sa-je makes a face like, “Is that so?”
Okay, I got it.
It’s hard to find a decent priest.
But if I succeed this time, I will be comfortable for a long time to come.
There are also many quests derived from Kim Sa-je’s sect.
I stood up for a moment.
“I’ll get you a small gold bar. Let’s try it out.”
“Now, wait a minute! What if Superman is mistaken?”
“What’s the problem? Just you and I should keep our mouths shut.”
“Th, but······ Wait a minute!”
I ignored him and left the villa.
I went down the hill and stopped by a gold shop.
Buy one 1 don gold bar.
The world is cheap for daily necessities, but the price of gold is three times higher than the original world price. I bought it for 1.3 million won and kicked the broken pavement blocks on my way back.
‘It’s an investment, an investment.’
Having only gold is not enough.
I stopped by Shinwon Market and also bought a special pot.
A pot for medicinal purposes commonly used by wizards.
It can withstand temperatures up to 2,000 degrees?
‘The gas range temperature goes up to 1,500, so that’s enough.’
The melting point of gold would be around 1,000 degrees.
The standard way is to place a potion pot on a special magic furnace, but magic furnaces are too expensive.
Let’s compromise to this extent.
When we returned to the park, Kim Sa-je was running around like a puppy that needed to poop.
“Hey, hey, Superman!”
Kim Sa-je looks embarrassed as soon as he sees me.
“I thought about it, but no matter what, I don’t think this is right.”
“why?”
“Well, that’s a bit much. If I get caught like this, I’ll be excommunicated. I’d rather talk to the priest who baptized me and the bishop above me, then hold a council and make sure it’s clear before we proceed.”
That’s the correct answer.
But how long would it take for a secret organization, a cult and a sect, to exchange and collate opinions and then hold a council?
5 years? 10 years?
I don’t know for sure, but it would be after Episode 1 of Arcane Seoul is activated.
In terms of games, it’s the starting point.
There is no time to wait until then.
I can’t just leave Kim Sa-je to rot away at level 1.
“This is disappointing.”
I shook the gold bar and the pot of medicine in my hands.
“I used my own money to buy a gold bar worth 1.3 million won and a pot worth 1 million won.”
“Oh, a hundred and thirty thousand won? And what kind of pot costs a million won?”
“This is a special cauldron for magicians. It has reliable heat transfer and can withstand excessive heat without any problems. Do you know that there will be a fee if you get a refund for this? Would you like the fee priest to ask?”
“I didn’t even ask you to buy it······”
“So let’s give it a try. It’s not like there’s anything to lose. If I succeed, it’s good for you, but if I fail, it’s my loss.”
Priest Kim hesitated for a moment and then finally nodded.
“Ugh······ I understand. But you have to keep it a secret.”
“Yes, sir. If you succeed, you must not forget my contribution.”
“No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem right······ Ugh.”
From now on, it is Kim Sa-je’s domain.
After fidgeting with his hands for a while, Priest Kim started to move.
First, I put the gold bar I had offered into a medicine pot and offered it in front of the god.
Recite the prayer and bless with divine power, then place it on the gas stove.
Chewy!
Gas range maximum power.
It took a long time, but the entire pot of medicine was heated up and the gold began to melt.
A 1 won gold bar.
That is, 3.75 grams.
A pinch of golden liquid, like a drop of water dripping down the bottom of a pot.
After letting it cool a bit, I roughly mashed it with a spoon.
Just add the gold powder obtained in this way to the previously brewed tea and you are ready to go.
Priest Kim grumbled.
“I don’t know if this is okay.”
“I told you to just trust me.”
“Does it really work?”
“If I hit you, your divine power will explode as soon as you drink it. Feel it. Mr. Priest, whether the god responds or not.”
Kim Sa-je stares at the teacup for a long time.
Kim Sa-je puts it in his mouth as if he has finally made up his mind.
The Adam’s apple was gurgling.
The tea had been cold for a long time, so it was okay to drink.
I drank a whole cup of tea with gold dust in it.
In that moment, Priest Kim stopped.
Open your eyes wide and stare into space.
My body became stiff.
They are stuck, like a block of wood or a lump of dried mud, unable to move.
See, I said it can be done.
I drank tea quietly while watching the priest Kim.
Hair that already had a metallic sheen and flowed smoothly.
A soft glow was falling like rain.
The halo seemed to spread faintly, but then suddenly disappeared.
Kim Sa-je slowly falls down with him.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
It was just for a moment.
A clear light flowed across the face of Kim Sa-je, who soon came to his senses and got up.
“Am I right?”
“Ha, hahaha.”
Father Kim looked at me and laughed in vain.
“That’s true. You went through all that trouble for this great method… What did you say earlier? One million three hundred thousand won?”
“Including the pot, it’s two million and three hundred thousand won.”
“That two million and three hundred thousand won was worth more than the money I had ever burned.”
A completely blank face.
It looks like it was hit directly by the wise man’s time.
That makes sense.
The amount of money burned so far must be considerable.
If you look at the entire church, it’s enormous.
“Oh, this is it.”
Kim Sa-je returned the bundle of Shin Saimdang that had been doused with gasoline and the bundle of Shin Saimdang that had been placed on the floor, that is, 100 million won, to me.
“Why is this?”
“You told me something so good, I shouldn’t accept it.”
“It’s okay. I already gave it to you.”
“No. I really can’t accept this. If I accept this, God will punish me.”
It is not right to refuse when a priest-type superhuman says something like this.
I pretended I couldn’t win and put the wad of cash in my golf bag.
Oh, and put the gasoline-stained ones in a separate compartment.
It didn’t end there.
Priest Kim searched through his body and took out a small necklace.
It’s embarrassing to even call it a necklace; it’s just a medieval silver coin with a hole drilled into it and a tough magic thread threaded through it.
“Take it.”
“Wait a minute, isn’t this a sacred relic?”
“Yes. I think I should give you this much.”
“No, no matter what, it’s like that······”
“Please accept it, it’s really okay. I feel better if I receive this much.”
Father Kim held the necklace tightly in my hand.
I’m conflicted for a moment.
A relic that appeared in the game already destroyed.
Or jewelry.
Still, it had pretty good performance so I used it for quite a while.
Actually, it’s something that would be more useful to Kim Sa-je than to me.
‘Oh, I don’t know.’
I am greedy.
Also, it’s vulgar.
In the first place, you helped Kim Sa-je after considering all the pros and cons.
Let’s not act coy for no reason.
I decided to stay true to my original desires.
“Thank you. I will use it well.”
“Yes. God will be pleased too.”
When I grab his hand, Father Kim smiles innocently.
Without knowing my dark speed.
Underneath those overlapping hands.
The necklace was shining brightly.
With [healing] properties.
