Chapter 040 The identity of the ghost ship

“Did you find even the ruins?”

“It’s not even the ruins. But, is it like an artifact in the gate?”

Lee Hui-hyung, who was talking excitedly, seemed genuinely happy.

“But that’s what hyung likes, isn’t Chairman Lee Cheol-joon likes it?”

At my point, Lee Hui-hyung shook his head and said.

“Of course, those artifacts are what I like. But this will definitely help you convince your grandfather.”

“The plan. Can I hear you?”

At my question, Lee Hui-hyung smiled and told me the detailed plan.

*

Chen, a low-class demon, hid himself in the mountains across from the Avengers building with his three demons.

It was his duty to observe the dragon’s behavior here.

“Chen, come out over there. isn’t that human? From the magic box?”

It is said that they adapted to many things after coming to the other world, but not all modern things including TV were familiar to the demons who lived only in the demon world.

right!

“That’s not a magic box, it’s a television, you idiot.”

“Ah, that’s why you hit me on the head! But, can’t you see the dragon?”

“I’m not going to show off that big body casually.”

In their eyes, Yoo Seo-joon and his party were getting out of the building and getting into a black SUV.

“Look where you are going. What should I do?”

“Finding the location of the dragon comes first. You and I will remain here to keep an eye on you in case you move separately. The other two follow Yoo Seo-jun. If you see a dragon there, contact me right away.”

“all right.”

Following Chen’s instruction, the two demons bowed and secretly chased the SUV leaving.

After hearing about Lee Hui’s plan, we were heading towards the gate that he had discovered.

“yes? I beg your pardon? A ghost ship?”

Min-young, who heard the identity of the person inside the gate in the car, jumped up and asked.

“Yes, a ghost ship.”

It was Lee Hwi-hyung who talked about it with a bright smile.

The ghost ship that my brother found was a gate on the outskirts of the Han River.

It was the first place I had ever heard of, so I didn’t know how to attack it.

[Come to think of it, humans liked to make up stories like that.]

Gilliant, who had been listening silently, spoke from within the necklace.

From noble mtl dot com

Now, he was a Giliant who could communicate in voice no matter what he looked like, but when he was in his necklace or had a secret story, he always talked to me like this.

‘That means there are no ghosts?’

[There is magic that brings the dead back to life among black magic, but there is no ghost monster you think of. I don’t know if it’s some kind of illusion magic.]

Then there was no need to be afraid.

In games and novels, sometimes ghosts appear as monsters, so I did it just in case, but it’s fortunate.

[However, because of strong white and salt, there are cases where it remains as a spiritual body.]

‘I heard there are no ghosts?’

[I didn’t say there were no ghosts. You said there are no ghost monsters. There are items with the word ‘Igo’ in front. Have you ever heard of it?]

‘No, there is not.’

[People say it’s an ‘item with an ego’. There are not many, but they come out occasionally.]

Oh, I’ve seen it in a novel.

The story of an item born from the hands of an artisan gaining its own identity and choosing its owner.

‘Why is that? no way.’

[That’s right. Such items cannot be created artificially. Most of them are made by the spirits of those related to the item. Those ghosts belong to items and can either help or curse humans. So there are no ghost monsters. There are only ghost items.]

I didn’t know.

According to the story in the novel, I only knew that it was an item with an ego born from the hands of a craftsman.

If so, this ghost ship might have such an item.

“By the way, oppa, how did you find the ghost ship gate?”

In response to Min-young’s question, Lee Hui-hyung talked excitedly.

“I was taking a walk in the Han River, and there were a lot of people there. I went and it was the gate. I went in to take a look… … .”

gulp.

When Lee Hui-hyung spoke in a spooky voice, Min-young passed her saliva and became nervous.

“Wow!”

“Kyaa!”

“Puhahahahaha, it’s a joke.”

“madam! brother!”

“Puhahahaha. Hey, Min-young is ringing.”

Minyoung must have been really surprised, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Just then, a cold voice came from the driver’s seat.

“Let’s play that joke one more time. I’ll knock it over and make sure your faces are in the headlines tomorrow.”

It was Suyeon who was behind the wheel.

Suyeon’s expression in the rearview mirror was cold.

“Yes, sorry.”

Lee Hwi-hyung changed his posture, apologized to Soo-yeon with a serious expression, and smiled again.

In the past, I didn’t know because I only saw him from a distance, but as I lived there, I couldn’t believe that he was a 4th-generation conglomerate with a pleasant personality and liked to joke around.

“Sometimes when I see you, I wonder if you are a real conglomerate. Seriously, he sometimes forgets his background.”

“It’s because you guys are comfortable. think about it sometimes If I hadn’t met you that day, I probably would have had to live that hard life again.”

Burying himself in the seat, the older brother put on a bitter expression.

Is it that you don’t like that place?

It would be a place that everyone else would envy.

[Did Lee Hwi say royal class here?]

‘huh.’

[I understand to some extent.]

‘you?’

Do dragons understand diamond spoons? What else do you mean?

[Do you think I would have lived a thousand years without knowing the hearts of the nobles? He was once also the great wizard of a country.]

‘Oh, you said you helped found the Atomic Dynasty, right?’

[At that time, I was able to learn a lot about humans. I don’t know if the aristocrats here are the same, but those in such a position often forget their really important role because they focus on the so-called face.]

Well, you can tell just by thinking about the stories in the news.

Not everyone who has a lot of money will be happy.

You know the saying that owning nothing is happiness?

“Anyway, so. Do I have to tell you the back story?”

In response to Soo-yeon’s question, Lee Hwi-hyung gave a bright expression as if he had never done that before and told the story behind him.

“huh! So I went in, and there was an old shipwreck moored on the beach. It was like a spooky ghost ship straight out of a real movie. I checked with this bracelet just in case.”

It was the atomic dynasty bracelet I gave you.

It has a built-in search magic, so it will help Lee Hwi-hyung in his favorite historical sites.

“After using the search magic like that, well that ship seems to be a very famous ship.”

“What information did you have?”

“I saw that it was the pirate ship of the pirate king, Aven.”

Pirate King Aven.

Lee Hui-hyung said that he was able to come up with a plan because of that.

“I mean the treasure will be enormous.”

Saying that, looking at Lee Hwi-hyung with a grin, I remembered a story he told me when I was making a plan.

‘My grandfather really likes old stories and mysterious stories. That’s why I only watch adventure movies. Things like the Indiana Jones series or the National Treasure Hunter series. I became interested in history, artifacts, and ruins because of that influence.’

My brother said that even if he couldn’t pull out the ghost ship, he would at least be able to make a business proposal if he could get a good story and something to prove.

That was our plan to attract investment from the chairman of Solar Enterprise, Cheol-Jun Lee.

‘My grandfather runs businesses in many fields, but there is one thing he is not good at.’

My older brother said it was the historic site project.

From noble mtl dot com

Not only is there no archeology background in the family, and even if they want to sponsor doctors, there are no doctors in Korea who are big enough to go to overseas sites.

In the first place, the number of archeology majors is small, and archeology is different from movies.

This is something I learned about because of my brother.

‘I’m a private school and major in archeology, but at first I thought I was going to go around like a movie, right? But, come on. Only records, only records. Ugh, at this level, we should change the name to Paleontology instead of Archeology.’

Lee Hui-hyung said that and shuddered.

Sigh.

“Arrived.”

We got off the parking lot and followed Hwi-hyung Lee to the gate.

Since it was daytime, there were many people in the Han River.

The area around the gate was guarded by soldiers.

After showing our hunter ID to the captain in charge, we went in and checked again in front of the gate.

[What kind of link are you going to use?]

‘You have to go in and see the situation and decide. I don’t know what will come out.’

I wanted to experiment with the newly acquired things right away, but it was useless if skills that did not fit the situation were linked.

“Let’s go in.”

“huh.”

“I’ll take the lead!”

“great.”

Lee Hui-hyung entered the gate first, and I immediately followed.

*

“What? Should we go in too?”

“Um, shouldn’t we go in?”

The two demons who had secretly pursued Yoo Seo-jun and his party looked at each other and said,

They were hiding out of sight.

“But, how do I get in?”

“You fool. we are the devil Of course we should use our own method!”

Saying that, the demon, transformed into a normal human, stepped in front of the soldiers.

Subsequently, other demons appeared before people in human form.

“How did you come… … hahahaha, let’s go in.”

The devil cast a ‘charm’ spell on the captain who stood in his way.

The captain then opened his eyes and guided them to the entrance of the gate.

When the two demons entered the gate, the spell on the captain was also broken.

“what? What just happened?”

The captain, realizing that he was standing in front of the gate, was puzzled as he went back to his seat.

“Captain, you just sent in two hunters.”

“I? did you?”

“Don’t you remember?”

When the sergeant next to him noticed and informed him of the situation, the captain tilted his head in surprise.

“It must have been under the charm spell.”

A man appeared in front of them. He was Hunter Brian from Guard Headquarters.

“yes? Hey, do any of us speak English?”

“Corporate Kim is studying abroad.”

“Call me.”

“yes.”

When the captain, who could not understand Brian’s English, gave the order, the sergeant hurriedly went to find corporal Kim.

“Can you speak Korean?”

In the meantime, the captain asked just in case, and Brian shook his head.

“I can understand some of it, but I can’t speak.”

Watching Brian shake his head, the captain understood with his eyes and waited for Corporal Kim.

“Loyalty! Corporal Gicheol Kim. Did you call?”

“Oh, what are you talking about? Please translate.”

“all right. How did you get here?”

When Corporal Kim arrived and asked in English, Brian replied with a smile.

“Ah, I came to see someone, but they said they went this way. Didn’t Yoo Seo-jun just enter the gate?”

“Yes, Seojun Yoo and the Avengers members just entered the gate. Are you acquaintances?”

“I am a Hunter too. I have a story I must share with them, so if you let them in, I’ll take care of the rest.”

Corporal Kim, who saw Brian’s hunter certificate, was surprised and reported it to the captain.

“Captain, this is the person from Guard Headquarters.”

“what? guard?”

“Why isn’t there an organization that was formed when the World Awakened Association merged into one this time? He’s a Hunter there, and he’s going inside to see Yoo Seo-Jun.”

“Oh yeah? As long as you have a valid Hunter ID, going inside is no problem. let it in.”

“Yes, Brian. You may go inside.”

At Corporal Kim’s guidance, Brian showed a bright smile and strode toward the gate.

*

thump, thump.

As Lee Hwi-hyung said, inside the gate was the beach.

There was a white sandy beach in the blue sea. And there was a large pirate ship wrecked far away.

squeak, squeak.

Birds that looked like seagulls were sitting on a pirate ship wrecked on the beach and crying.

Like my brother said, the pirate ship was very old and damaged here and there, so I thought I could believe it was a ghost ship.

At least it was daytime, so it was less scary.

The wrecked pirate ship was a huge sailboat. Attached to the front was a statue of a woman with a decapitated head, and a black sail fluttering in the wind in rags.

“Wow, that’s really big.”

“Isn’t it surprisingly cool?”

Min-young and Soo-yeon admired the pirate ship in turn.

I was thinking about how to get in because the boat is so big, but Lee Hui-hyung pointed out a place.

“Hey, do you think we can go in there?”

The place he pointed to was broken enough for a person to enter.

As I approached to enter it, the mood of the birds suddenly changed.

Squeak! Kiaag!

“That one!”

“It’s not a bird!”

I thought it was an ordinary bird, but when I looked closer, I could confirm that it had the face of a human, especially a woman.

I knew about such a monster.

Before returning, I had actually met him while living as a hunter.

“It’s a siren! Everyone cover your ears!”

As soon as the team members listened to my instructions and covered their ears with their hands, cries resounded as if they were scratching a blackboard with their nails.

aaagh!
