Choi Min-hyeok sensed Suzuki’s energy and found the location of his cabin.
‘It’s on the D deck.’
The number of floors of a ship is not indicated as 1st floor or 2nd floor as in apartments, but as A deck, B deck.
The cabin that Suzuki entered with a stone box was on the D deck.
Choi Min-hyeok, who was on the roof of the bridge, quietly came down to the floor where Suzuki was through the outside stairs.
And stopped at the entrance of the hallway.
From noble mtl dot com
‘I can’t just go in.’
As they enter the residential area, they are captured by the CCTV installed in the passageway.
may be noticed by others.
So I will use magic to hide myself.
After returning from Colombia and spending more than 15 days in Korea, I learned some pretty useful magic.
Among them was ＜invisibility＞ magic.
It was a magic that made her body and the clothes she was wearing invisible to others.
Of course, it is not recorded on CCTV.
However, the amount of elixir consumed per hour was high, so I had to use it only when absolutely necessary.
‘Invisibility.’
hiss-
Choi Min-hyeok’s form disappeared.
He silenced the footsteps and entered the passage.
Then he stood in front of Suzuki’s cabin.
smart-
Knocked on the cabin door.
“[Who?]”
Choi Minhyuk did not respond to Suzuki’s question.
fluffy-
I used ＜Psychokinesis＞ to lift my body close to the ceiling.
clap-
The cabin door opened.
Suzuki poked her head out the door and looked to the left and right of the aisle.
The stone box was still in his hand.
It was so precious that even in the moment of opening the cabin door, you couldn’t take it off your hands.
With no one in the aisle, Suzuki tilted her head.
“[what?]”
In the meantime, Choi Min-hyeok, who was floating in the air, passed through the crack in the door without a sound and entered the cabin.
Suzuki inspected the aisle once more and murmured softly.
“[Is it the ghost of Genghis Khan?]”
food-
Suzuki laughed at what he said and closed the door.
At that moment, Choi Min-hyeok, who had entered the cabin, put his finger on Suzuki’s collar.
‘acceptance.’
hiss-
Suzuki went into the inventory.
The stone box he was holding also came into the inventory.
‘okay.’
With both Suzuki and the stone box in the inventory, Choi Min-hyeok’s plan had already succeeded.
With it stored in the inventory, check the inside of the stone box and attach a tracking device to Suzuki.
CCTV was installed in the aisle, so they deliberately entered the cabin to work.
however,
‘There is nothing.’
The stone box was empty.
It originally contained something, but was it exposed to seawater for a long time and was crushed without leaving a trace?
‘It’s not like that.’
If that was the case, Suzuki couldn’t have been so happy before checking the contents of the stone box.
Perhaps the clue to find Khan’s tomb is not the contents of the stone box, but the ‘stone box itself’.
In any case, the stone box will not be taken away.
With that, Suzuki will work hard to find the treasure.
‘Should I still leave a copy?’
Choi Min-hyeok moved the stone box to the ‘relaxation room’ in the elixir extraction plant.
And there he made a copy of the stone box.
The copy made here is exactly the same as the real one, but it only exists in Choi Min-hyeok’s dream.
‘Now I just need to attach a tracking device and that’s it.’
Choi Min-hyeok planned to appear at the last minute and steal the entire table set by Suzuki.
To do that, you need to be able to see his location at any time.
I’m not going to put explosives made of sea salt into his skull like I did with James.
Because I learned much better magic.
That was the magic of ＜Eyes and Ears＞.
If you cast this spell on Suzuki, you will not only know his location at any time, but also see and hear through his eyes and ears.
‘Eyes and ears.’
pat-
I cast a spell on Suzuki in my inventory.
hiss-
Then I took him and the stone box out of the inventory.
Then, he quietly moved to a corner of the cabin and watched Suzuki’s actions.
“[huh?!]”
After entering the inventory for a while, Suzuki frowned as if she felt something strange.
“[I have a strange feeling.]”
However, he soon shook his head.
“[Are you really frightened by the specter of Genghis Khan? It’s pitiful…”]
Suzuki scolded herself and put the stone box on the desk.
The surface of the stone box was still wet with seawater.
Suzuki carefully removed the sea moss from the lid of the stone box with his hand.
Then, concentric circles engraved in intaglio were revealed.
Suzuki looked at the pattern and muttered.
“[You will guide me to the Valley of Gyryeon (起輦谷).]”
In the Yuanshi, one of the 24 official history of China, there are only four characters written about the tomb of Genghis Khan.
＜葬起輦谷 (Buried in Kiryeongok)＞
The History of the Yuan Dynasty, a history book created by the Mongols, deals with Genghis Khan’s life in detail, but there is no record of his burial after death.
In the end, the only clue about Genghis Khan’s tomb throughout history was ‘Giryeongok’.
The problem is that Kiryeongok is a place name that does not exist now.
So, many archaeologists and explorers repeatedly read the life of Genghis Khan written in history books and guessed the location of Kiryeongok.
Some speculated that the area near ‘Lake Baikal’, where Genghis Khan enjoyed hunting, would be a training valley.
Some were convinced that Genghis Khan’s hometown, ‘Deliun Boldak’, was the place.
However, explorers around the world could only imagine where Kiryeongok would be and could not directly explore it.
It was because Mongolia had been a satellite state of the Soviet Union for 70 years.
The Soviet government, which made it taboo to disparage and even mention Genghis Khan, did not allow any exploration to find his grave.
Then, as soon as the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and Mongolia escaped from the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, Japan was the first country to start looking for Genghis Khan’s tomb.
Suzuki also went to Mongolia as an assistant to an archeology professor who was leading an expedition at the time.
‘He was a child full of blood without knowing anything.’
Recalling that time, Suzuki opened the door of the small refrigerator under the desk.
Then he took out the chilled glass and whiskey bottle.
Mulberry-
When the cork was pulled out, the fragrant scent of liquor spread throughout the cabin.
‘I’m finally opening you.’
It was a fairly expensive whiskey that my daughter, who is studying in the United States, gave me as a gift two years ago.
He was holding back and saving what he wanted to drink for today.
thump-
I was pouring whiskey into a glass when someone knocked on the door again.
“[Who?]”
“[I’m leaving.]”
Yakuza came.
The back ship that was funding the expedition was Japan’s largest yakuza organization, the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Kaneda was an executive in the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Suzuki opened the cabin door and greeted him.
“[You’re lucky, you just opened a good bottle of whiskey.]”
“[Okay, I never drink while working.]”
Kaneda entered the cabin and picked up the stone box.
Then he opened the lid and looked around, glaring at Suzuki.
“[Nothing?!]”
“[Did you imagine there was something great inside? That stone box was not made to store something.]”
“[What does that mean?]”
“[There is no way I can explain it now. You will know later.]”
“[You’re not kidding, are you?]”
gulp-
Suzuki didn’t answer Kaneda’s question and took a sip of whiskey.
And changed the topic.
“[Mr. Kaneda, have you ever heard of ‘kesikten’?]”
“[Are you referring to Genghis Khan’s bodyguard?]”
“[That’s right, you’re more knowledgeable than you look.]”
Kaneda smiled at Suzuki’s praise.
“[I studied a little because of this incident.]”
Kesikten was an escort created by Genghis Khan himself to prevent an assassination attempt against him.
They took care of Genghis Khan and escorted him to the nearest place.
“[So, have you heard of ‘The Curse of Genghis Khan’?]”
“[You know that too. What happened to the American expedition to find Khan’s grave.]”
An American lawyer was enamored with Genghis Khan and set out to find his tomb, exploring Mongolia for 20 years.
And finally, on the verge of meaningful achievements, his expedition suffered a series of major accidents.
A landslide occurred at the excavation site, injuring members of the expedition team with stones, and a driver transporting materials died for no reason.
Even anthrax spread near the excavation site, so the expedition was quarantined for quarantine.
After a series of bad news, the American expedition eventually gave up the exploration.
Mongolians referred to this event as the ‘Curse of Genghis Khan’.
And public opinion was formed that a greater disaster would come to the country if the exploration to find the tomb was not stopped.
Eventually, the President of Mongolia stopped all excavation work to find Genghis Khan’s tomb.
Kaneda asked Suzuki.
“[But why are you suddenly asking those two things?]”
“[I also suffered from that curse.]”
Suzuki brushed back her hair.
Then his ears, which had been hidden by his long hair, were exposed.
The auricle had been cut off, leaving only a hole.
Ganeda saw it and asked.
“[The wound… Are you saying you got hurt because of a curse?]”
“[that’s right. The curse of Genghis Khan is real. But this is not the work of the ghosts of the dead. It was done by living people like us.]”
“[That means…]”
Suzuki answered as she squeezed her whiskey glass.
“[Keshikten did it.]”
“[no way! Are you saying that the unit founded 800 years ago still exists?]”
“[I don’t know if they’re really carrying on an 800-year-old legacy. But he said while cutting my ear.]”
gulp-
Suzuki gulped down the remaining whiskey in his glass and continued.
“[Kesikten is still protecting his master.]”
***
A Japanese cargo ship left Anyongbok Bay.
I returned to Gangneung and drove home.
‘Kesikten.’
It has been 800 years since Genghis Khan’s death, but there are still those who claim to be his escorts, so a clash between them and the Japanese was expected.
A battle between those who want to protect and those who want to take away.
I don’t need to be deeply involved in their confrontation.
I just need to keep an eye on them and take the gold by targeting fishermen.
‘It’s getting fun.’
Instead of going straight to Seoul, I drove the car to Icheon.
I will go to the workshop and make a ‘pilot golem’ to drive a private plane.
If we make a golem, we plan to first send it to Nevis, acquire nationality, and then enroll it in an airline pilot training institute in a foreign country.
In fact, with James’ skills, he could even forge an aircraft pilot’s license.
In fact, there was a Korean fraudster who worked as a co-pilot on a passenger plane carrying 160 passengers with a fake pilot’s license.
In the end, the swindler was investigated by the police after a report by the captain who doubted his piloting skills, and the fact that he forged his driver’s license was discovered.
‘Let’s not forge a driver’s license.’
I’m the pilot of the jet that I’m going to fly, so I’d rather have him get a real license.
And at least two pilots were required.
Some private jets can operate with only one pilot.
However, such a model was small enough that you had to bend over when passing through the cabin aisle.
The aircraft I ordered was much larger than that and required two pilots.
So I’ll make two golems at the same time.
A large kiln that can produce two golems at once has already been installed in the workshop.
But there was another problem.
To create a golem, it was necessary to recall its appearance in detail from head to toe.
However, it was not easy to associate the two appearances at the same time.
For that reason, I decided to make the two look the same.
Also, since this is my first time making two golems, it would be easier to set the gender to ‘female’.
So the conclusion is,
‘Let’s make twin sisters.’
