Chapter 2472 – 2472. God’s Atlantis
After a long time, Helten’s executives gathered together. Unfortunately, not everyone gathered.
It was the Heavenly Demon who suggested the position, but since a volcanic island affecting the entire Atlantis region had appeared, it was necessary to gather the executives together at least once. As Hellten, we also need to convey our future policy.
Samuel, the head of Helten, surveyed the atmosphere. Unlike before, everyone was aware of the existence of the Heavenly Demon.
It has to be that way.
The Heavenly Demon revealed himself as a returner and predicted that a volcanic island would appear as proof. Thanks to this, Helten’s executives saw considerable profits. Of course, the thing that benefited the most was glitter. It was Harmo, known as the Colossus of the West.
Haha! What a great day! Isn’t that right, folks?! Even the air is so sweet. Haha!”
Harmo seemed to be in a very good mood. He looked good, like he was on drugs. Of course, I know that the cause is not drugs.
He has been preparing for the emergence of a volcanic island for a long time. The thing I worked the hardest to prepare for was the mask business. The mask business was a huge hit. It feels like Bitcoin, which has been around for several years, has been reduced dozens of times.
“There are ashes mixed in the air.”
A lion wearing a cracked lion mask said with a laugh.
Haha! Don’t worry about the little things! I will give you an A-rank mask as a gift! “It’s something that even nobles can’t buy because they don’t have it!”
“There is no need.”
“It’s a perfect item, but…”
There was a brief chat. Samuel applauded at appropriate times to attract the attention of the executives.
“Now, what we gathered together today was the request of the Heavenly Demon. Cheonma. “Is there something you want to tell us?”
The Heavenly Demon wearing a clown mask stepped forward.
“Say it bluntly. Centered around the Justian Empire, exiles will gather together and attempt to attack the volcanic island. “I want to disrupt this strategy.”
“Why? Honestly, if the curse of the volcanic island continues for a long time, it will not be good for us either.”
A raccoon with a deep voice stepped forward and asked.
“I’m not saying we should leave the volcanic island alone forever. The idea is to take time. The reason is, of course, for our benefit. If you make an investment, you have to make sure you get the money out of it. “If we wait just about a year, we will be able to pull out the mulberries.”
“I agree with Cheonma’s opinion! This is how we raise more money! Are you going to stand still while your money is being copied?!”
Samuel was very excited and ignored the sparkling speech and asked the Heavenly Demon.
“Wouldn’t too many people die in one year? It is not good for human power to become weak. Because this Atlantis could end quickly.”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. Me, Glitter, and Mirror invested heavily in preparation. “I will die less than the future I know.”
“Ah. That’s right. We prepared enough masks, water, and food. Although I will sell it a little more expensively, I have no intention of selling it so expensive that I can’t buy it at all. “It’s at times like this that you really have to break it off.”
Although it is extremely expensive for a bakridamae.
“Indeed. It means you’re ready. If you are completely unprepared… “A lot of people must have died.”
Interfering with the attack on the volcanic island was synonymous with antagonizing Atlantis as a whole. Of course, no one here cares about that. Helten is already a public enemy as the worst criminal organization in Atlantis. Even if new evil deeds were added here, nothing really changed.
“Hmm. In my personal opinion, I don’t think it’s bad. What are your opinions?”
Samuel looked around at the other executives.
“I agree.”
The mirror spoke plainly. Even though it wasn’t as flashy, she was reaping huge benefits from this. She had no reason to object.
“I’m reluctant. “I’m leaving out of this matter.”
The raccoon turned around and disappeared. No one cared.
“I was itching, but it went well. “I’m going to relax for the first time in a while.”
The lion waved his spear and showed ferocity.
Samuel checked the executives remaining here and asked Cheonma.
“Cheonma. “Let’s hear your plan first.”
• • •
3 days after the volcanic island appears.
“Knock, call.”
It made most of the people living in Atlantis cough. There were no exceptions, neither exiles nor continental people. The fine volcanic ash mixed in the air was of really poor quality.
“It feels like my throat and lungs are rotting in real time.”
“Shit. “This is the first time I feel envious of animals and monsters.”
The volcanic island’s ash had no significant effect on animals and monsters. At least there were no elements that were directly damaged.
“We are selling a D-rank mask that completely blocks fine volcanic ash! It’s only 100,000 pennies! Buy it before it sells out!”
A merchant wearing a mask shouted. Looking at the clothes he was wearing, he was a merchant from the west.
When the volcanic island first appeared, people didn’t even care about masks. It’s only 100,000 pennies for one mask. Does that make sense? In Korean Won, it was 1 million won.
Instead of buying masks, people covered their mouths and noses with cloth. I even made my own mask. The problem is that it has no effect at all. A mask of at least D rank was required to block fine volcanic ash.
“No matter what, 100,000 pennies is too expensive. “Can’t you just shave it off a little bit?”
“Sir. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. “I don’t force anything.”
The merchant laughed. Because of the mask, all I could see was his crooked eyes. He was more upset about it.
“Damn it! “Are you saying that people who don’t have money should die?!”
“What’s new? If you don’t have money, you die. “Isn’t it natural?”
“I heard that the Baldert family sells masks for 10,000 pennies!”
“That’s true only for the Baldert Territory. This is not the Baldert family’s territory. You are not a citizen of the Baldert family. Oh, sometimes a Waldert family merchant comes and sells masks for 50,000 pennies. But the quantity is very small. We don’t know when the Baldert family merchant will come. If you don’t have money, wait for a merchant from the Baldert family to come.”
The merchant laughed.
The time you can survive without a mask is about a week. If it goes beyond that, you die.
“… Please give me a mask. “I assure you, you will not be able to enjoy rest when you die.”
“You worry about me until after my death…” . Thank you very much, customer.”
「Quarantine mask
It can filter out fine dust and toxic smoke.
Rank: D”
The man immediately put on a mask. His tingling throat eased. Even though it was a crazy price of 100,000 pennies, I felt reassured that it was safe for now.
“Sir. Don’t you need water? There is very clean water here from the west. It costs 10,000 pennies per liter. If you purchase now, we will give you 300ml for free as a service.”
The man’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Are they even selling water at such ridiculous prices now? “How crazy are you about money?”
“We only sell it at market price. It may have been in the past, but now we live in an era where water has become scarce. Isn’t that right?”
“…”
I couldn’t refute those words.
Volcanic islands appeared, and the water became polluted. Fine ash was mixed into the clean water. When you drink that water, the ash enters your body and accumulates. The same goes for rainwater falling from the sky.
“An exile cursed by a volcanic island must drink three liters of water every day. Only then can it maintain its original condition. Additionally, you need to drink clean water so that fine ash is excreted when you urinate. “Are you sure you don’t need water?”
Even if you boil the water, the contaminated ashes do not disappear. Wouldn’t it be possible to collect water vapor and turn it back into water? No use. The ashes that pollute the water are not ordinary ashes, but closer to a curse.
There are limited ways to obtain clean water. Wizards create new water or purify contaminated water with magic. Thanks to this, the value of water magicians who were previously looked down on has risen significantly.
“… If I buy 2L, do they give 600ml as a service?”
“Haha. What nonsense. Do you think we do business by digging in the ground? No matter how many liters you purchase, the service is only 300ml.”
“Shit. There is a saying that clean water is free in the western desert. Aren’t you bringing that water and selling it?!”
“Well, that’s true. However, even though it is free, the water available per person is limited due to strict management. It’s not free unless you’re a desert resident. Was it 2,000 pennies per liter? It may have gone up even more now.”
“Selling a 2,000 penny bill for 10,000 pennies? This guy without conscience… !”
“This isn’t a desert, so of course it’s expensive. “If you want, go to the desert and buy it, sir.”
The merchant grins. The man was trembling, but he did not dare say that he was going to the desert. The desert was a harsh place. Even veterans are reluctant to see the monsters there. Additionally, security was the worst. Desert warriors are ignorant people who do not hesitate to commit murder.
“Ah, sir. If you are thinking of going to the desert… Please also take a look at Bojima Tower. “You will freak out as soon as you see it.”
“… The name of the Magic Tower is quite unique. Surely that’s not what it means?”
“I don’t know what that means, but if you mean a woman’s vagina, then yes. The appearance of the tower looked exactly like the vagina. Moreover, it is said that a fountain spews out once a day… That is truly a superb view. The Imperial Magic Tower is about 300 m high, but the Boji Magic Tower is over three times higher at 1,000 m. “Exactly 1,000 m.”
“This is downright vulgar. As expected, the barbarians in the desert… Tsk tsk.”
The man clicked his tongue, pretending to be noble. But the word ‘Bojimatop’ does not disappear from his mind.
Pussy.
A word that makes a man’s heart beat. A giant structure in the shape of a vagina? To be honest, I was a bit curious.
‘What kind of building is this? Does it resemble a real pussy? If you spray a fountain once a day… Will it come out from there?’
Pussy… Pussy…
It’s a magic tower. Curiosity kept rising.
