by adminEpisode 143 – Welcome to Yeon-guk 6 –
Changje is not interested in Yeonguk.
If you’re from Yeonguk, you’ve probably tried it at least once.
It was actually one of the hypotheses that was quite widespread.
But not to me.
I know what Changje was like.
At least he is not that kind of person.
‘In the first place, he has the power to kill Yeon Guk-in in one fell swoop. Just hanging on to this earth. The answer has been found.’
Nevertheless, the reason for using such extreme words and actions.
To see how she behaves.
It doesn’t matter if it’s extreme.
Because I have an excuse prepared.
“What does that mean… ?”
She seemed to be embarrassed by my harsh words and actions, so she trembled.
Rather than being afraid of my actions. Their response was that they couldn’t understand my actions.
This is because it did not make sense from the Yeonguk people’s perspective.
“… ”
She quickly ran out of words after that.
This may be because you don’t know why the other person said this.
From the perspective of Yeonguk people, sugar-coated words are common.
However, there are no cases where it is said outright that harm is being done.
Especially if it’s something you really want to do.
Of course, this applies not only to the Federation but also to human society as a whole.
So she won’t be able to understand even more.
‘First of all, I saw the reaction of not being able to understand. At least there doesn’t seem to be any connection with Changje here.’
Of course, I don’t know how they are connected.
“Abraxas? however… The fact that Yeon-guk is ruined… Is it different from what I knew?”
However, there was a healing saint in this land.
I am the one who brought them here, but I am the leader of this group.
Without a saint, he would also be in trouble.
Among the high-ranking people to whom Yeon-guk can come without any restrictions.
The person with the most influence is a saint.
“… What are you?”
Lily must have realized from the saint’s words that we had not reached an agreement.
He shot me straight away.
There seemed to be hope.
I corrected her misunderstanding.
“In the beginning, I said it was the fall of Yeon-guk, not the end of Yeon-guk people.”
“What is that… no way… !”
“Yes. There are problems scattered throughout the country. Even Seonghwangcheong could not solve that problem. So, here’s what I thought. Just throw away Yeon-guk!”
In this land of modern times, there is virtually no concept of immigration.
So they identify themselves with the country.
Therefore, if the country fails, the people also fail.
When the country recovers, the people also recover. It’s easy to think that.
Having lived in modern times, I know for sure.
The two are separate.
“ Yeon-guk has that much of a problem… ?”
“First of all, there is no proper national system. Whether it is a republic or a monarchy, a representative is needed to unify opinions. However, in Yeon-guk, there cannot be a representative of ‘Yeon-guk’.”
“Corporate presidents are practically like kings.”
“Companies are property of individuals. Assets owned by the chairman. But even if he is a king. The country does not belong to the king.
The chairman can fire all employees if the stock allows, but the king cannot fire the people. They are the representatives of the company, not of Yeonguk.”
It is difficult for a corporate state to exist in reality.
The reason companies can achieve that level of efficiency is because the state is ultimately responsible for national defense, education, and welfare.
If they are neglected, low-quality human resources will be created and efficiency will decrease.
If you care, it is virtually no different from a country.
This land was able to take the form of a corporate state.
This is because the entity called Changje was in fact in charge of national defense.
And the fact that companies are intertwined and compete with each other also played a big role.
“And you think that’s the only problem? There are no resources here at all. Even if you have good alchemy skills, you can’t do alchemy if you don’t have the ingredients.
If only bread could be made in the air like Changje. If you can’t do that, in the end, there is nothing for Yeon-guk. Because it’s no different from a wizard without magic or a knight without aura.”
“People from the country cannot go abroad.”
“That’s right. But fortunately, Yeon-guk is a magician without magic. The situation is better than a knight without an auror. Because there are a lot of materials overseas.
The reason why Yeon-guk people were banned from entering the country was not because the Yeon-guk people were of poor quality, but because of the homunculus. In other words, if they are completely resolved, Yeon-guk may go to a completely different place.”
The quality of Yeongukin is not good?
It is the people who suffer, not the high-ranking people.
And Yeonguk people are also people.
They too will assimilate as they continue to live.
Because the empire also has police officers in charge of public security.
You won’t be able to do it like before.
“Then what should I do? Abraxas?”
The healing saint, seeing true hope in those words, asked the next question.
She also doesn’t know much about Yeon-guk.
So, you may be relying on me.
“First, I have to meet Changje. Even if we solve the homunculus problem, the fact that we only want to hire excellent alchemists from foreign countries will not change.
You have to directly engage Changje and make a deal. That would be easy for him.”
“What about homunculi?”
“No matter how great the being who creates the homunculus is, it cannot surpass its creation. When I meet him, everything will be resolved.”
Of course, this is not the plan I came up with.
In the first place, Changje would not accept this strategy even after hearing about it.
“Hehe.”
However, he hid the information from the healing saint who did not mind knowing the truth.
This is because in order to explain this accurately, I had to explain everything.
The past of creation. The disaster of the kingdom.
and… Even the country called Korea.
“Then how are you going to meet Changje now? There are very few people who have met him.”
Now that she had found a way (or not), she thought about the following.
How to execute the method.
And this was decided anyway.
Even if I had told you the truth, I would have had to take the same route.
“I need to meet the company presidents.”
Four mega corporations rule this land.
They had to meet the one who controls them and meet the Emperor of Chang.
“How?”
“It is not easy to meet a company chairman. No matter how much you… ”
“That’s right. First of all, there has to be a way.”
However, it seemed like they couldn’t think of a proper way to do it.
In a way, it’s natural.
Because we know better than anyone else what procedures we must go through to meet the emperor.
Not even an insider, but an outsider.
There was no way that could have happened carelessly.
“How? There is something very simple.”
However, there is a fact that she was overlooking.
The Academy’s characters are all people who made a mistake.
That’s because it has that level of status within the most powerful nation called the Empire.
“There is a saint.”
Even if he is the chairman of Yeonkuk Corporation.
We cannot ignore the saint.
It’s just that she headed to the academy not long after being selected as a saint, so I didn’t know about it.
Her presence alone already qualified her.
Everyone thinks deeply about those words.
And his expression changed as if he realized something.
Saint.
This was a fact that was overlooked because the Imperial Academy cadets saw it every day.
Even now, the majority of nobles in the empire cannot even see the saint.
Humans judge events based on their own experiences.
Because there is no teacher as good as experience.
And they twisted their thinking a little bit.
Not the healing saint they see every day.
What would happen if another adult asked to meet up?
Even if the target is the emperor, the most powerful person in the empire.
“Really… Is it possible with just that?”
“Mr. Lily. You don’t know how great Seonghwangcheong is, right? A clairvoyant who can see 4000 km. Future poetry allows you to see the past and future. It is said that it is a being that casually achieves the miracle of sprouting back even when its head is cut off.
The place where such people gather is Seonghwangcheong. In fact, each adult is an outlier among companies! But will the presidents really ignore that? Unlike them, they have something unique?”
“That… There was power… ? Didn’t he just have divine power?”
Wasn’t that known?
This can be happen.
Even I, who played WFS, had no idea that Seonghwangcheong really had this much power.
“You… What on earth is this guy doing? ?”
Lily looked at me again with a dejected expression.
I seemed to wonder what kind of person I was to lead such a being.
Instead of answering, I smiled and motioned for him to follow me.
Now it was time to go meet one of the company presidents.
however.
“Hey. We haven’t found the store yet. What are you going to do?”
Oh right.
Damn it.
That’s why we came to the workshop.
Seriously.
=======
“But I still don’t know why you tried to make something like this.”
“If I don’t have something like this, I’m a mess. Yeon-guk is different from other places. There are some places where progress cannot proceed without an extension.
There is no standardization at all, so if there is no alchemist who made it, there are places where you cannot proceed, let alone destroy it. So, it is common for the owner to open the door and go inside instead of using the key.”
Fortunately, Lily was able to request something from a skilled alchemist she knew.
The items requested were various multi-purpose tools.
A tool used to open doors or cut glass.
You could even store it in the form of a clock and make it different at any time.
“The world of alchemy is truly amazing… How is this type of transformation possible? ”
The healing saint was impressed when she saw the alchemy tools we ordered.
It was definitely worth it.
Although it is an item that looks like an ordinary watch.
Because if you pour magic power into it, it changes right away.
“To be exact, it’s kind of like a crossbow.”
“A crossbow?”
“Yes. What happens if you hold the crossbow fully drawn and equip an arrow? Because of the tension, a tremendous amount of force is applied to the crossbow, but it really stays the same, right?”
“That’s right.”
“And when you pull the trigger, the force that holds the tension disappears and the arrow is fired. That’s the principle of this.
It was built in a specific way, but force was applied to return it to a specific shape. If you inject magical power, it will be released as if you were pulling a trigger.”
“So how does it work?”
“How do I reload the crossbow? Even if the principle is a little different, you can just apply force, right?
Likewise, you can inject magical energy in the opposite direction. Of course, it will take more force.”
You shouldn’t even be this surprised.
Because there are objects that are the same material but can change into dozens of different things.
In some cases, the card can be freely transferred between crossbows, daggers, skewers, stars, cards, wallets, etc.
Of course, it might be expensive.
There was no need to do that, so I ordered everything separately.
This is enough for now.
“By the way, speaking of crossbows. This turns into a crossbow. Why did you order it?”
“The kids here get scared just by holding a crossbow. There aren’t any kids who are good at using Aurors, and it’s because they don’t know the skills.
If I show off my power as an Auror, it will disappear on its own, but I won’t be scared even if I use magic and holy techniques. You also gave me a pistol. Even if the castle is difficult, use it.”
“Why… ?”
“Because there are a lot of fraudsters.”
Just like I used a wizard to create a great show at the auction house.
In this world, there is a system called stage magic.
And sometimes, when the top comes from outside, we sell it.
It is an act of generating magic through magical power, like firecrackers at a fireworks festival.
“There are a lot of people who use that to pretend to be wizards. I don’t really believe it.”
Of course, it is a dangerous act.
However, humans are animals that judge the following based on experience.
What if all experienced wizards were just magicians?
I have no choice but to ignore all wizards.
Even though I know there is a ‘real’ wizard somewhere in this world.
Because I don’t think we’ll ever meet.
“The pistol is different. In this land, the only thing that hinders Aurors from training their alchemy skills. A pistol or crossbow will be enough of a threat.
Of course, there may be people who rush at you, but it was created in the first place to avoid causing trouble, so handle it at your own risk. Kill or subdue.”
“I have no intention of killing you.”
“There is no what if. These are the people of this land who, if you don’t kill them, you can look down on them and bring a group of them. People who are most afraid of death and loss.
So once they realize they can’t kill it, they’ll keep hitting it anyway. So, even if you say you won’t kill them, you shouldn’t make them think that they won’t kill you.”
The saintess’ face frowned at those words.
Still, he nodded as if he was convinced.
The people of this land are like animals. If there is profit but no risk.
This may be because they agree that they will definitely rush in.
“So are you going to make an official statement? But was there a way for us to contact such a place?”
The healing saint was now thinking about how to contact the company next.
Obviously, without a hotline, it’s not easy to get in touch with someone even if you’re eligible.
It is a famous story that during the Cuban Missile Crisis during the Cold War, there was a misunderstanding in communication between the US and the US because there was no hotline.
The United States also had no way to contact the Soviet Union, so it set up a hotline.
There may be a way for us.
“I was planning on just breaking down the front door and entering?”
And the surest way to meet someone.
It is about matching time and place.
And if there’s anything blocking it, just destroy it all.
People around me glare at my words.
Lily seemed shocked and didn’t even think about closing her mouth.
What why what?
Kakil’s taboo is not to hold a funeral, but to destroy Kakil’s headquarters.
And because permission is easier than forgiveness.
Let’s do it first and ask for forgiveness.
