Episode 387: My most precious treasure (1) After
entering through the hidden door, Yu Seol’s entire body stopped like ice.
The two wide-open eyes blinked incessantly, as if they were seeing something in vain.
“...oh my god. “This was heaven.”
The entire room was sparkling with gold and silver treasures. The treasure of the imperial tomb was finally found.
The room was filled with gold coins and other rare-looking miscellaneous goods, and colorful jewels and accessories were shining among them.
There were luxurious chests with open lids in the middle, and they were also full of gold coins.
And in the exact center of the room, there was a classically decorated sarcophagus.
Yu Jin-san and Baek Yo-ran, who followed behind, could not keep their mouths shut.
“oh my god.”
“It seems like all the treasures in the world are gathered here.”
Yu Seol felt like he was going to fly away.
It looked around for a moment and then flew like a flying squirrel onto the gold coins piled up like snow.
Slurp-!
Yu Seol, lying down on the gold and silver treasures, was flailing his limbs.
“Hehehe. Look at this, grandpa! “We are now the richest people in the world!”
“What use is all this wealth? “It would be okay to die like the emperor in that coffin anyway.”
“Then I have to use it all before I die~”
It was an impossible task. Because no matter what I did all my life, I couldn’t even use it for work.
Baek Yo-ran, who had already been close to death, was not very interested in wealth. Moreover, Myohwabang’s wealth alone is enough to enjoy wealth for the rest of his life, so why would he be greedy?
All she was interested in were special, rare and rare items.
“baby. Perhaps these miscellaneous riches are not everything.
“Yes? “What do you mean?”
“What great significance could such simple wealth have had to the emperor? “I think grandma had something else that she treasured the most.”
At that moment, Yoo Seol jumped up from his seat.
“What, grandma!? “Then where is the real treasure?”
“Of course, the emperor wouldn’t have taken it even inside the coffin.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the sarcophagus in the center.
When I looked closely, I saw that light was leaking from a gap in the sarcophagus.
What on earth is inside?
Yoo Seol, who could not contain his curiosity, approached the sarcophagus and said.
“It means it’s here.”
“wait for a sec. “There might be a trap, so let Grandma open it.”
Yu Seol took half a step back and Baek Yoran approached the spot and grabbed the lid of the sarcophagus.
At the same time, her blue eyes began to glow.
It would be to search for any invisible traps.
But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t find anything unusual with her blue eyes.
If so, there would be no need to hesitate.
Deeudeeudeeudeuk-!
Yu Seol, who craned his neck like a turtle, looked over Baek Yoran’s shoulder and watched the lid open.
After a while, I held my breath and watched.
Inside the fully open sarcophagus, a body wearing a yellow dragon robe was neatly laid out.
But the sight was so strange that I couldn’t understand it.
“Is this the emperor? But how is the body still intact?”
It was a corpse so intact that it could be considered a living person.
No, rather, the warmth remained and even the complexion was maintained.
What kind of bizarre thing is this?
Baek Yo-ran, who was examining the body, said with a wink.
“Maybe it’s because of that.”
It was a necklace worn by the emperor around his neck.
The jewel on the necklace was round like a bead and radiated a brilliant iridescent light.
The body was placed neatly on the chest, showing how carefully it had been handled, with both hands clutching it tightly.
“Wow~ It’s so pretty.”
At first glance, it was clear that it was a great treasure.
Because it was shining more brilliantly than the precious spirit stone of the Divine Beast.
“Grandma, this is your first time seeing jewelry that looks like that. “It definitely seems like it contains some secret...”
Everyone wanted to find out quickly.
However, since you are taking the deceased’s belongings, you must follow the minimum courtesy.
Yu Seol bowed his head in silent prayer towards the emperor’s body.
“your majesty. I’ll take this necklace for a good cause. Are you okay? “If it’s not okay, tell me now.”
After finishing speaking, Yu Seol narrowed his eyes and looked at the emperor.
But no matter how intact the body is, it is unlikely to be able to speak.
Jinsan Yu, who was watching from behind, urged his granddaughter.
“Go ahead and get it out. “It’s so frustrating here that I want to leave quickly.”
Yu Seol carefully began to remove the necklace from behind the emperor’s head.
Then, he moved his neatly gathered hands to the left and right and gently grabbed the jewel.
It was then.
In an instant, the eyes of the three people opened wide at the same time as if they were about to burst.
Thump-!
One of them looked back and cried.
“The bee is already falling apart, Elder!”
Collapse had already begun where the emperor’s tomb was located.
But Eugene Mountain was not the one to be frightened by their fuss.
“We’re almost there, you bastard!”
Running at a fast pace, they were able to quickly pass the way they came and barely escape.
with a plop-!
It was the sound of members of the shelter being thrown into the stagnant water at the well site.
And the two old men and Yoo Seol, who were in a state of shock, were walking steadily on the water.
And after one more breath. The ancient mound completely collapsed, and dust spewed out.
Kukukukung-!!
The thick dust was sucked straight to the bottom of the water by the inner force of Mt. Yujin and sank.
“phew. “You barely escaped.”
At that time, Yuseol, who was holding the chest, whimpered and said.
“This is the only treasure I found.”
“You won’t be disappointed. All you have to do is take whatever looks most expensive. “Let’s leave the rest for our descendants.”
Just taking it now was of great value.
Just considering the gold coins in the chest, it was several times more than all of Cheon Yu-hoe’s assets. There is no need to worry about funds for the time being.
And above all, didn’t he get the emperor’s necklace, the most precious treasure?
At that time, the members of the security guard shouted with joy from above the well.
“Thank you for your hard work, Lord!”
“We believed it!!”
“Children, quickly get down the ladder! hurry!!”
The ladder is only for rescued crew members.
Yuseol was the first to leap over the water and fly to the ground.
Taaa-!
The remains that had come out of the well were placed on the ground, starting with the box.
Then, the familiar security guards first asked carefully.
“Lord, did something happen?”
“It looks like your eyes are swollen.”
Although they didn’t know what was going on, everyone seemed genuinely worried.
At that time, Yu Jin-san appeared behind his back and said jokingly.
“Tears come out of joy because they found the treasure.”
“iced coffee. As expected...”
As the leader of Cheonyuhoe, he could not show himself weak in front of his subordinates.
Yu Seol smiled awkwardly as he gestured for people to look at the contents of the chest.
“that’s right. Can you see it? “The treasure I found.”
“Yes, you are truly amazing.”
“How can you get so many gold coins...”
Yoo Seol tilted his chin and spoke softly to the crew.
“I look forward to it. “Starting tomorrow, our Cheonyuhoe family will be able to eat more delicious food.”
Even so, the food served at Cheonyuhoe was famous for being delicious.
But does that diet get any better? The members of the shelter raised both hands and cheered.
“Are you sure!?”
“ha ha ha!”
“As expected, our leader is the best!!”
At that time, Yoo Seol put her index finger to her lips and spoke in a whisper.
“And this is a secret, but we will give out prize money later.”
However, no information was given about how and in what manner the prize money would be distributed.
Are they planning to hold some kind of event? You’ll find out later anyway. Eugene San was also curious about what it was about, but he didn’t bother to ask.
* * *
Yoo Seol, who had hidden the chest somewhere in the government office, headed back to the drawing room in Socheonseong.
This is because Yujinsan and Baekyoran were waiting there.
It was a starry night, but now was not the time to sleep.
“Grandma, I’m here.”
Baek Yo-ran motioned for Yu Seol, who had just entered, to come closer.
“Come and sit down. “Even if it wasn’t, I was waiting.”
Yu Seol sat between her and her grandfather and asked quietly.
“Did you find it?”
“OK. Even if not, I think I just found it.”
There was an old booklet spread out on the table.
Surprisingly, the contents of the book showed a picture similar to the necklace taken from the tomb.
“It really looks just like my necklace. What does it say? “An expensive deal?”
“This is not just a jewel. It is also a one-of-a-kind precious object and it holds a very special secret.”
“What secret!?”
It was an item that the First Emperor held in his arms until his death.
It wouldn’t be something trivial like an elixir or a medicine.
Yoo Seol and her grandfather listened to her words as they continued with sparkling eyes.
“This is an orb that allows a divine being who has acquired spirituality to ascend to heaven.”
