Chapter 71:
Alchemy began with making iron ore into ore more than Adamantium.
As a result, it failed. However, based on research on the ore, the alchemists created automails, golems, and numerous other inventions that were useful for gates.
And some chemical alchemists wanted to pursue change through chemical reaction and fusion of item materials.
Ultimately, the direction of alchemy was to transform metals into other substances, strengthen the body, upgrade job characteristics, etc., for the better, and it had to do with chemistry.
The unstable wise man's stone' that Jun-woo obtained from the dimensional warehouse was created through chemical reaction and fusion.
Modern alchemists were precisely divided into two categories.
One was that a blacksmith, or a person of Earth wizard lineage, would one day become an alchemist.
In the case of these people, the knowledge that permeated into their heads was closely related to the ore side.
The other was to become an alchemist, a herbalist who harvested herbs, or a manufacturer who used to make those herbs.
They had a deep knowledge of chemistry.
In the case of Jun-woo, it was more, but he had some knowledge of chemistry because he was a unique grade.
Looking at the documents, Jun-woo could feel that Korean alchemists had a lot of awakening towards chemistry.
Jun-woo looked at the list of alchemists in Korea.
First of all, there were only 4 people who were ranked Epic or higher.
Only one of them seemed to have an Epic+ rating, and about 30 other people seemed to be rare.
Alchemists were a particular profession, so their numbers were small, but there were even fewer in Korea.
Perhaps their research would have been significantly contributed by an Epic+ alchemist named Cheol-Ho Jeong.
Chul-ho Jeong was an alchemist who used potions as his primary source of income.
After looking through the documents, Jun-woo took out his cell phone and texted Kim Young-han, the president of the Alchemy Association.
[I took a good look at the documents, I will contact you in two days and see you again.]
There were a lot of things to deal with right now.
First of all, Yoshimura, who is doing blasting work in the open space of the land, would come today.
We'll need more excavators and explosives.
As expected, around the afternoon, Yoshimura entered the master room.
"I ran out of excavator durability and explosives. Are you ready?"
"there."
Jun-woo pointed to the box he had piled up.
Yoshimura showed displeasure at the number of explosives more than expected.
"Isn't that too much? Would that be enough for another month?"
"How much longer do you think it will take?"
"About two weeks at the earliest?"
Jun-woo nodded his head.
"Then I'll prepare and go after this week."
"I'll keep the pace even if I work at night. And these are minerals from the field."
Yoshimura put down Adamantium, Mithril, and Magic Crystals.
As much as the miners paid wages, it felt like minerals were coming out.
However, considering the excavators, power hammers, and explosives they were using, it was a considerable deficit.
"If there's nothing more to do, I'll take it immediately."
"for a moment."
Yoshimura looked at Jun-woo as if wondering.
"yes?"
"Take Leon and Eumeria."
"Why?"
"To increase the security, I want you to hunt there. You have to set up your own equipment."
Blacksmiths were able to obtain additional effects when making the recipe they got.
The time it took to obtain the recipe was usually two weeks for each part.
Because of that, Leon and Eumeria needed regular hunting.
"Aren't you teaching?"
"I think it's over. Because I'm used to it."
Eumeria was already immersed in modern society by opening a smartphone and using a computer herself.
Leon had also finished understanding the world to the extent that it did not interfere with his daily life.
"yes?"
Leon and Eumeria entered the master room.
When Leon saw Yoshimura, he was puzzled.
"Are you Yoshimura?"
"The gloves look good."
Leon was wearing the gloves that Jun-woo had picked up at the dungeon gate.
"Weren't you working there?"
"I need something. Anyway, can I go with you two?"
Jun-woo nodded his head.
"Let's both take that with us."
They put explosives in the item window, and they carried them by themselves when they couldn't put them anymore.
The trunk of the flying car was loaded with explosives. Next to it were two laptops and a magic stone battery that generated electricity.
Yoshimura looked at Eumeria as if wondering.
"laptop?"
"You should watch a movie."
"Are you watching movies these days?"
Although there was a slight scratch, the white pillar withstood their attack for 10 minutes.
It certainly looked like it would be destroyed someday.
However, it seemed that it would take a week or two, and several weapons were likely to be smashed.
The vitality and defense power of the white pillar was beyond imagination.
Jo Sang-ho, a member of Poongrim's guild, exhaled a weary breath.
"after Don't you think it won't work?"
At that time, Jinseong Baek, a guild member of Poongrim, approached the pillar with 10 other members.
Darkstar stopped moving and looked at the approaching crowd.
Ram said hurriedly.
"Lee Dong-jin is ready. What?"
Kwon Do-hyeok's left arm, known as Parkle, who came in charge of this place, said.
"Check who it is, and use it when the attack starts."
"I know."
After a while, 10 men, including Baek Jin-seong, arrived there.
Baek Jin-seong said as he walked.
"It won't break. Don't lose your strength."
"Baek Jin-seong?"
Ram asked softly.
"Do you know anyone?"
"It's someone you know. Let's talk for a moment."
Jo Sang-ho, a former member of the Poongrim Guild, stepped forward and looked at Baek Jin Seong.
"It's been a while, Jinseong-nim. Should I call you Captain Baek now?"
Baek Jin-seong looked at Jo Sang-ho as if wondering.
It sounded like a voice I had heard somewhere.
"Who is it?"
"Fold it, Jo Sang-ho."
His face was different from Jo Sang-ho, whom Baek Jin-seong knew.
"I have a doppelganger skin attached to it. Can you see the marks here?"
The skin of the doppelganger was used for disguise, and the wounds suffered from damage in battle did not heal.
Looking at the marks left behind, it was the doppelganger's skin.
"It's been a long time since General Oh, who is behind you."
Behind Baek, Jin-seong was an executive in the position of head of Poongrim.
Baek Jin-seong looked around at the six people behind Jo Sang-ho.
It was unknown who was hiding their true face, but they had a reasonably strong feeling.
"Are you here to destroy the pillar?"
"As you can see. Why did you come? Did Lewis even ask you to guard the pillar?"
First of all, it was Baek Jin-sung who tried to identify who it was.
Jo Sang-ho was a man who killed a guild member and entered the Dark Star.
If it was a Dark Star, the purpose could have been similar.
Baek Jin-seong said without hiding anything.
"No, we are going to take the pillar."
Jo Sang-ho laughed as if smirking.
"Keep After all, you guys have been in the Plaza of the Earth for some time. They seem to be using the kids to somehow take advantage of the opportunity."
"You and we seem to have similar goals. Can you lend me some strength? We have to drive them out of the garrison."
At Baek Jin-seong's question, Jo Sang-ho's head turned to Parkle.
The face of a man named Parkle was also disguised because of the doppelganger's skin.
Said Parkle.
"Ask what the plan is."
Jo Sang-ho nodded and looked at Baek Jin-seong, and said.
"Are there any plans?"
"Is that person your leader? Kwon Do-hyuk?"
"You don't know that. What's your plan?"
Baek Jin-seong looked at Parkle once and said while looking at Jo Sang-ho.
"I bought the miners in advance. If you can get the timing right, you can steal enough. If it is stolen, I will pay you a price commensurate with it."
"Are you blatantly stealing your face? Would you like to come to Yunnan?"
Baek Jin-seong took out a mask made of Adamantium from the item window and showed it.
"I did not hide my face and guild mark to instill trust in you. If this is done safely, Korea can provide you with the information you want."
It seemed that 11 people, including myself, were needed to drive them out who were working at the blasting site.
However, when I saw the additions of Leon and Eumeria today, I felt it would be difficult.
In particular, Leon's power was estimated to be at the highest level of Unique.
Baek Jin-seong thought that if Dark Star had planted spies, people would come here.
They arrived just in time, and as expected, their purpose was to destroy the pillar.
Parkle nodded and took a step forward.
"Let's go together first. I'd love to talk to you."
"That's right."
11 members of Poongrim's guild and 7 members of Dark Star's guild moved in the same direction at night.
In a quiet place without monsters, they talked for quite some time.
