Chapter 2192 – 2192. Dark Moon

Four Leaf Clover Treasure Hunter. The plan was sped up thanks to him solving some puzzles and taking the treasure.

We headed to Donghae Island, one of the large islands of the Gangneung archipelago.

Takeshi, the island owner of the East Sea Island, came out in person with his men to welcome us. He was armed with a weapon, but did not hold it in his hand. I don’t feel any will to fight. Takeshi was a middle-aged man with a sharp look.

“I heard a rumor that you are solving the secrets of ancient ruins. We will cooperate. What can I do?”

The pirates stopped fighting where we were. The goal is to not disturb us as much as possible. They even try to help beyond that. It’s not the pirates’ will, it’s probably the result of the influence of the companies behind it. They want the ancient ruins more than anyone else.

“That’s good. Manpower was already needed. I’ll name seven places. Go and dig the ground.”

“… How deep should I dig?”

“Until the water comes out and fills the place where the ground was dug.”

We rested while being attended to by the pirates. The pirates also gave us food. Of course, I didn’t touch the food. Because it was suspicious. I had enough food, so there was no need to eat what untrustworthy people gave me.

Around 3 hours had passed since I took a break. Rumbling. An earthquake occurred throughout the Gangneung Islands.

‘It looks like they dug the land as instructed.’

We moved to the next island.

• • •

The last island is Pyeongchang Island. The largest island in the Gangneung archipelago.

The island leader of Pyeongchang Island also welcomed us. He looks more like a pirate leader than the other two pirate leaders. A messy black beard and black hair that grew out haphazardly. A black coat was draped over his shoulders. He grinned and showed his black teeth.

“Wizard! My name is Aman, and I am the owner of Pyeongchang Island. If you need anything, please let me know. Let us help you!”

“Looking at your face makes me feel dirty. Make it so that it is not visible to me.”

He said with irritation. Aman’s insect-like eyebrows twitched, but then he smiled heartily.

“Oh my. I was ugly. “I will step aside so as not to disturb the wizards.”

The pirates retreated.

“I need Mr. Orcia’s help in this matter.”

“I have plenty of power, so don’t worry. What can I do?”

“I’ll go and explain. This condition must be satisfied by going into the sea. This is the last time. If done successfully, ancient ruins will come to mind.”

“Something big is going to happen.”

“Yes. Companies will probably rush in. It’s okay. Because I have information about ancient ruins. “In any case, we have the advantage.”

I went into the sea, surrounding my group with wind magic. To be exact, to the sea beneath the island. When you approach the iron door hidden in the sea and enter the password q1w2e3r4, the door opens.

“Is that really the password?”

Invisible Blade said as if it was absurd.

“It’s a long-standing tradition of Great Korea. If an artifact related to Great Korea asks for a password, type this. If the password is 4 digits, 1234 or 0000, most doors will open.”

“I got some really useful information.”

In fact, the ancient ruins of Great Korea are rare, so there will be no use of the information.

Anyway, the door opened and we went inside. Dozens of artificial rock pillars cover the ceiling. So, it was supporting the island.

In this puzzle, you had to move the rock pillars here to the right place.

‘Originally, it was necessary to activate the structure with a system key obtained from another ancient ruin… If you even prepare to enter the historic site, you need to prepare for at least three years.’

It took too much time.

‘This is a game world, but it’s reality. There is no need to follow the method of the original game.’

There was a level 7 space wizard over here.

“Mr. Orcia. Please move that pillar to the groove over there. Is it possible?”

It was too heavy to be moved by telekinesis or physical strength. Just one pillar would weigh hundreds of tons. In times like this, what you need is space magic. A type of magic that I cannot use yet.

“The rock pillar is not connected to the floor and ceiling. If so, yes. Material movement is possible. Because it is large… I don’t think I can move much. 15. I think that’s the limit.”

“You only need to move 9.”

Order was important here. Hints about the order come from other ancient sites.

‘Actually, I have never solved a puzzle by looking at the hints. If you search on the internet, everything comes up.’

I was glad that I remembered all the knowledge from the original. Because there is no need to go through unnecessary trouble.

Orcia took off her glasses. Her eyes shine silver-grey. As the Demon Eye’s Spiritual Eye was activated, I felt her astral and mana amplify in an instant. As her Orcia hand extends forward, a silver-grey magic circle unfolds.

Space-type advanced magic.

‘Is it vision magic? There’s a high-level lock in place. If you want to analyze it in depth, I think you can do it… Even if you interpret it somehow, you won’t be able to fully understand it. Because I haven’t even completely mastered the basics of space magic yet.’

There is something to be learned just by watching a 7th level wizard cast spatial magic. Things like the unique sense of space magic, Orcia’s magic manipulation, and the knack for mana control.

I watched her with bated breath.

The magic circle flashes. The space trembled, and the fallen rock pillar was instantly moved to a designated location. It was clean without a single error.

“Which pillar is next?”

Suddenly coming to my senses, I raised my hand and pointed to the next pillar.

“There’s a pillar over there. If you look at the bottom, there is a blue band.”

Each pillar had its own characteristics and could be distinguished.

She moved the pillar as I pointed.

The moment the nine designated pillars found their proper place, dozens of rock pillars began to shine and rotate. Mana spurted out from the pillar and began to fall to the floor.

“Mr. Orcia. Let’s go up the island. You will see something interesting.”

• • •

Kurrrr.

With a roar, the entire Gangneung Islands moved. The islands fall apart as if they are pushing each other, creating a circular space in the center.

A huge whirlwind arose in that wide ocean space. The pirate ship caught in the whirlwind was instantly destroyed and turned into wreckage. A pirate who survived there? Of course there wasn’t. It was not a whirlpool that the human body could withstand.

And from the center, something huge slowly began to rise upward. At first, it looked like a huge creature like a whale, but as it gradually revealed itself, it was revealed that it was an island with modern buildings.

Ancient ruins of Great Korea, Sebit Dungdung Island.

We stared blankly at the maglev island rising high into the sky from the top of Pyeongchang Island. It was truly spectacular.

“Now, wait a minute. Water flows continuously from the island in five streams. It makes no sense for such a vast amount of water to be on an island like that. Are you creating water?”

“That’s seawater.”

“… There is no seawater rising to the top? It doesn’t make any more sense.”

“You don’t know. Seawater is brought in using a Bluetooth transmitter. Great Korea’s Bluetooth technology has developed tremendously. Bluetooth wireless shower is a byproduct of that technology.”

“There is no such thing as a Bluetooth wireless shower. “Even if there is a magic shower.”

“It exists in Great Korea.”

“What is Great Korea… Oh, wait. The whirlpool disappeared and a ship appeared. Hmm. Although it was illegally converted into a combat ship, it is not a pirate ship. There is no discernible flag… It looks like companies are starting to take action in earnest. Were you preparing in advance…”

“It’s as expected.”

Helicopters were rising from corporate ships? The destination is, of course, Sebit Floating Island. Perhaps, as time passes, more troops will flock to Sevit Dungdungseom.

“Mr. Eugene. Is it okay to take my time like this?”

Orsia, who saw the ancient ruins with her own eyes, was a little more excited than usual.

“There is no need to be impatient. Whatever the process, we will be the ones to get our hands on everything from the ancient ruins. “Trust me.”

“… Yes. “I trust you, Eugene.”

“Save the teleport. I will take you with me using wind magic.”

I used wind magic to float my body.

You can fly using levitation or telekinesis, but it was more efficient to use wind magic if you wanted others to fly together.

‘Sebit Floating Island is a place where you can gain a lot as it is large among ancient ruins. Instead, it is a place with a lot of quite annoying gimmicks. It’s crazy to head to the ground without any knowledge.’

There are a total of 15 entrances to Sebit Island. Among them, 10 were entrances directly connected to the trap.

‘Something old in this world has the possibility of being changed by a mysterious force, a divine spirit. There are no exceptions for ancient ruins. This is why ancient ruins are dangerous. It’s safe to say that ancient ruins are dangerous dungeons.’

Dr. Hong Bae-jeok, the island lord of Hongcheon Island, looked up blankly at the sky. There existed the ancient ruins of Great Korea that I had only dreamed of.

“Sebit Floating Island… It’s definitely true. This is Sebit Dungdungseom, which appears in ancient texts related to Great Korea… !”

Hongbaejeok was thrilled.

I saw with my own eyes the legacy of my ancestors, Great Korea.

Okay. I am a descendant of Great Korea, who created that great civilization! Wasn’t the reason he started studying Great Korea to see his roots with his own eyes? Dr. Hong was satisfied, and he felt another desire welling up.

‘Eventually, those ruins will fall into the hands of corporations. Before that, I want to go and check it out too! Maybe there is a relic that only I can find. I am a descendant of Great Korea, and I am a doctor who has studied Great Korea for a long time!’

It was time for him to find a way. An opportunity has arrived.

Aman, the island owner of Pyeongchang Island, visited Dr. Hong by helicopter.

“Dr. Hong. Let me make one last suggestion. Would you like to go to that damn ancient ruin with us?”

“… Aman. “Do you want my knowledge?”

“Otherwise, there is no reason to come to you like this.”

“There are conditions. “Don’t mess with the people of Hongcheon Island.”

“Those guys? “It’s already out of my interest.”

“… I would also like you to share some of the relics with me.”

“That is not a subject for you to judge. The company will decide. Go and prove your worth. So that companies want you.”

“I am an expert on Great Korea. Companies will definitely want me.”

After Dr. Hong spoke in a confident voice, he boarded the helicopter. The helicopter landed on one side of Sebit Island.

A wall and a huge gate located on the outermost part of Sebit Island.

There was something like an invisible defensive wall, so it was impossible to go over it by helicopter. In the end, Aman, Dr. Hong, and employees dispatched from the company had to get off in front of the entrance.

The sensor on the large iron door blinked red, and a mechanical sound came out.

“Beep. Welcome to entrance 3. However, in accordance with current government policy, Sebit Floating Island is not welcoming guests. “Only genetic Koreans can enter Sebit Dungdung Island.”

Dr. Hong stepped forward with confidence.

“Then it won’t be a problem. I am a descendant of Great Korea! Great Korean blood flows through my body!”

“Beep! “Start scanning.”

The blue light from the door scanned Dr. Hong’s body.

“Beep! The scan shows that you have less than 1% K-DNA. Hannam Calendar has 26. “I am not Korean physically or mentally.”

“Ha, it’s not Korea? Me, I’m Korean! My father and grandfather are also Korean! This is the historic Hong family! Above all, what is Hannam Calendar?”

“It is an abbreviation for Korean male mentality. Your body contains more than 60% J-DNA and less than 30% C-DNA. Your ilnam power is 358. Korea, Japan, and China are at war. Japanese people are not permitted to enter Sebit Floating Island.”

“No, that’s ridiculous. I’m Japanese? Are you a descendant of Japanese people? “Don’t lie!!”

“I don’t tell lies. “If you do not disappear within 5 minutes, we will begin an attack.”

Aman, who was watching, grabbed the shocked Dr. Hong by the shoulder and dragged him back.

“Move over, Dr. Hong. Now, think of a Japanese name. “Leave this to us.”

Aman raised his bazooka and aimed it at the entrance.

“The way to enter a door is by breaking it down.”

He pulled the trigger.

“Beep. Welcome to entrance 11. However, in accordance with current government policy, Sebit Floating Island is not welcoming guests. “Only genetic Koreans can enter Sebit Dungdung Island.”

I chuckled as I looked at the entrance. It was an involuntary laugh at the same reaction as the original.

‘There is also a way to polymorph into a Korean… ‘They couldn’t get Korean blood.’

In the first place, it is not easy to obtain Korean blood in this world. Even those who claim to be descendants of Koreans are not pure Koreans. There was a high possibility that it would not meet the standards of artificial intelligence.

‘So much time has passed that there are almost no pure Koreans.’

Even though it’s annoying, the only way is to smash the entrance and enter. Still, I came to the right entrance number 11.

“Beep! “Start scanning!”

After thinking about it for a while, Invisible Blade proudly took the lead and received the scan.

“Beep! More than 90% of J-DNA was detected! The daily calendar is 611! She seems to be a woman of considerable caliber. I can feel the energy of a wise mother and good wife. If you marry a Korean man, you meet the conditions for naturalization.”

“Hehe. That’s interesting artificial intelligence. How to? Just ignore it and break through?”

Invisible Blade asked me. The moment I was about to say something, artificial intelligence scanned me on its own.

“Beep! More than 99% of K-DNA has been confirmed! Hannam calendar is 999! Top-rated! You are a person who is not in the database. We will issue a special resident registration card according to conditions. “What is your name?”

No, I was Korean in my past life… Is this body also Korean? Now that I think about it, my face was the same as in my previous life.

“… “It’s Eugene.”

“A special resident registration card has been issued. Welcome to Sebit Floating Island! Hannam Eugene!”

Cuckoo kung.

The entrance has been opened.
