Absolute Necromancer Chapter 161

Alchemy.

There are not many climbers in the tower who do not know its name.

If you look at most potions distributed on the market, if the quality is even slightly good, they all have Alchemy’s name on them.

There are even some potions that are recognized by the ‘system’ and even have a status window.

Such alchemy is not very well known to people.

‘I thought he was a mystic, but maybe he was just a debt collector.’

People thought that Alchemy had some mysterious secret that she or he was hiding.

Jinhyuk, who climbed the tower around the same time and benefited quite a bit, was no different.

Of course, Jinhyeok’s real fame began a few years before his death, so he had been working properly as an alchemist for about 10 years.

However, Alchemy has firmly established its name in the tower in just 10 years.

It’s surprising that Alchemy was actually a debt collector and not a mystic.

“Let’s talk in private. “Because I’m busy.”

“Okay, go in.”

Goldrich, who had guided Jinhyuk up to this point, put off his busy work to guide Jinhyuk, so after meeting with Alchemy, he immediately went back to his office and tried to work.

Jinhyuk also knew his busy day, so he nodded and saw him off.

However, Jinhyeok could not contain his surprise at a word Goldrich said before leaving.

“Before you go, let me tell you one thing: Alchemy’s total debt to Gold Rich Company is approximately 150 million gold. “Know it well and use it usefully in negotiations.”

“…Poof! 1 million…50 million gold? “Aren’t you crazy?”

150 million gold.

This is an amount of money that most climbers cannot earn even if they devote their entire lives to the tower.

Jinhyeok looked at Alchemy with a look of surprise upon hearing that a climber approaching or exceeding the 600th floor owed him an amount that would have taken several months or even a year to collect even if he had been determined to collect it.

“…That’s amazing.”

“Hehe, it’s embarrassing to praise you like that.”

I wasn’t praising you, I was criticizing you, you idiot.

Although it was questionable how a guy like that could be the best alchemist in the tower, Jinhyeok nodded with a sigh.

“The amount owed….”

“Whether you write it off or take the bond, do whatever you want. Anyway, that amount is a small amount of money for the entire Gold Rich Company, and I can make up for it with my own money. Cha Jin-hyuk, just focus on getting what you want.”

“…thanks.”

Jinhyuk expressed his gratitude to Gold Rich, who casually gave him the rights to a large sum of 150 million gold.

No matter how rich you are, 150 million gold is not a small amount of money.

Right now, the money that Jinhyuk had given to Gold Rich as an investment in the past was similar to or slightly more than that.

Jinhyeok, who had been amazed by Gold Rich’s wealth, which returns investment money as if he were breathing, was surprised the moment he saw it in front of him.

“excuse me…Can you really forgive my debt? And Cha Jin-hyuk? That’s the name of Earth, right? Right? Wow, awesome! “I’m from Earth too!”

“…Let’s fall a bit first, right?”

“oh! crime…Sorry, debtor!”

Alchemy, Christina Rothschild, who didn’t know how she had approached her while tied to a chair, was standing in front of her with her eyes sparkling.

Jinhyeok wanted to say something to Alchemy, who called him by the strange name of debt master, but thinking that he wouldn’t listen even if he said it anyway, Jinhyeok sighed and rested his chin.

“You said you were from Earth. “He guessed it from the moment he heard the name.”

Christina Rothschild.

Alchemy’s real name was a fairly famous name that no Earthling would know.

To be exact, the family name is ‘Rothschild’, not ‘Christina’.

“The richest family in the world is climbing the tower…For what reason?”

Rothschild.

A large financial group and family.

Even though it was a family-run company, Rothschild was often accused of having control over the world.

Jinhyuk didn’t know if it was really a dark plot, but one thing was certain.

The world’s richest family.

Therefore, Jinhyeok did not hide his doubts.

If someone belongs to the richest family in the world and even uses the last name Rothschild, then it is certain that they belong to the Rothschild family.

Because I couldn’t understand why someone like that would climb the tower.

But the reason was soon revealed.

“My mother was Korean. Well, I received a lot of discrimination that wasn’t discrimination.”

“…It seems strange that even a world-class family would have such discrimination.”

discrimination.

The reason Alchemy rose to the top was simply because of discrimination within the family.

“It’s a bit out of the ordinary to talk about family, but can we talk about something else? “Something constructive to talk about.”

Jinhyuk, of course, heard Alchemy speak with a serious face and erased his stupid expression.

“No, I need to know something about you first, so that might be difficult.”

“Ugh…too bad….”

I refused.

Rothschild family.

Because I was curious about that place.

“The Rothschild family…Is this an alchemist family?”

The Rothschild family is said to own most of the world’s gold.

The question was whether that place was an alchemist family.

“…Eh, how did you know?”

“…I was just asking, but if you say so, I’m grateful.”

“Ahhhh! too bad!”

Alchemy asked with a fierce expression how he knew, but Jinhyuk was only asking with suspicion.

Alchemy was in pain, pulling out her hair at her own foolishness and Jinhyuk’s meanness(?).

“I didn’t say that anywhere! “I didn’t even tell that person named Goldrich!”

“I’m not going to spread rumors anywhere, so do it in moderation. So are the rumors about gold true? “That the Rothschild family owned most of the world’s gold?”

“…Sigh, you’re really not going to start a rumor, are you?”

“I said I wouldn’t pay it. So just answer the question. “Maybe you and I could be a good partnership.”

Alchemy could be of great help to ‘Reverse Heaven’ in the future if he holds the secret as well as the value of being an excellent alchemist.

In order for a group to become strong, it must hold in its hearts secrets that can never betray each other.

And the secret that Alchemy is currently talking about is close to a top secret that should not be known, at least to the people of Earth.

I roughly comforted Alchemy, who was now sobbing, and urged her to answer the question, and Alchemy nodded.

“Our family was a family that succeeded in producing the ‘Philosopher’s Stone.’ “He was the first among alchemists.”

As Jinhyuk expected, and as Alchemy had already responded, the Rothschild family was a family of alchemists.

And they were the only family that reached the goal of the Philosopher’s Stone.

“Philosopher’s Stone?”

“Yes, that thing also called elixir or ether. Oh, of course, you know that it’s different from the elixir supplied within the tower, right?”

“…I know, the elixir heals even cuts, but the Philosopher’s Stone I know is definitely….”

“It’s an item that has legends about being able to make gold or become a god.”

“Yes, that was it.”

Making gold.

Turn stones into gold.

Perhaps it could be said to be a miracle of God, so the Philosopher’s Stone was called the secret source of alchemy that could turn ordinary humans into gods.

“But you know what? The Philosopher’s Stone created by my family was a half-success. Do you know why?”

“Is there any way to know?”

“The Philosopher’s Stone as we know it was a medium that turned stones into gold. But when we actually made it, the Philosopher’s Stone we made was nothing more than a deteriorated version of the real thing. “The power to turn a stone into gold and the power to become a god were two different things.”

But the power to turn stones into gold and the power to become gods.

The Philosopher’s Stone, created by Rothschild, is not a double object, but a single force.

It was nothing more than a deteriorating plate that only had the power to turn stones into gold.

When those who thought they had reached the alchemist’s secret dream realized that what they had achieved was only half of it.

Rather than moving forward, they collapsed.

“After that, we used all the philosopher’s stones we made to make gold. Both those made before and those made afterward. “I have no intention of moving forward and have become complacent.”

“Is it helplessness?”

“It’s similar. Tens or hundreds of years. I think it must have been a bit difficult for the family’s elders and ancestors to know that something they put everything into to create something with power that was not even close to the real thing. There are quite a few records of him committing suicide.”

The wealth and pleasure that gold gives.

Suicide due to helplessness due to not being able to move forward.

The people of the Rothschild family were given only two things, and some chose the former and others chose the latter to move into the future.

Of course, this was not what Jinhyuk wanted.

“So you’re not going to tell me why you got to the top?”

“You have a short temper. I will do it now. now. You’re not popular with women, right? Even if she has a good-looking face, there is no woman if she doesn’t have the attitude to listen…Aya!”

“If you’re going to talk nonsense, I’ll send you to the workhouse.”

“…I will do it. “You can do it!”

When I pulled Alchemy’s white ear and threatened her while she was talking nonsense, Alchemy stopped complaining and got straight to the point.

“I wanted to complete the Philosopher’s Stone. I won’t deny that I rose to the top because of discrimination, but…I still had a lot of money. But more than money, I liked alchemy. “I had the Philosopher’s Stone, the prototype of the ancestors’ deteriorated version, and there was the tower.”

“So you climbed the tower to create the finished product.”

A person who gave up his wealth as a member of the richest family on Earth and threw himself into a tower where danger could lurk to complete his research.

Jinhyuk found out that it was Alchemy right in front of him, and he liked Alchemy.

It would be fair to say that he liked the way he didn’t care about risks for his own goals.

“Then why did you become a debtor?”

“Oh, that’s…It’s just that gold isn’t that expensive inside the tower.”

“…It was a simple reason.”

There is already a gold coin called gold in the tower.

The reason gold can maintain its high value is because it can replace ‘currency’.

Of course, there is a currency called ‘gold’ that is systematically guaranteed by God and the devil, but there is no reason for the price of gold to be expensive.

“I don’t think the family will be in an uproar because of that. There’s a lot of gold in the tower. Well, the price of gold has skyrocketed due to the monsters running rampant, so it’s probably holding on.”

“Isn’t even the Rothschild of the world helpless in the face of God and the devil?”

“Because I’m just a human being. So, I’m going to finish the Philosopher’s Stone. “I want to become someone who is not influenced by anyone.”

“…Are you ready? “The path you must walk is a minefield beyond the thorny path.”

In the process of climbing the tower, becoming a god or a devil means having to deal with the ‘Four Emperors’.

Therefore, for Alchemy, who has no combat ability, to have aspirations to become gods and demons means risking his life.

But Alchemy nodded as if it was okay.

“We are already being chased by the Four Emperors, so what’s the danger?”

“…Wait, what?”

Jinhyuk, who heard Alchemy’s continued words, interrupted Alchemy and asked back to confirm whether what he heard was true.

However, that did not change what Alchemy said.

“Oh my, didn’t you hear? I wasn’t caught by Gold Rich Company, but I turned myself in. I’m afraid I’ll die. I’m being chased by the Four Emperors right now. that…I think he said that what I make is something that should never appear in the world.”

“…This is a truly talented person who walked on his own feet.”

Alchemy being chased by the Four Emperors.

She was a climber who was being ‘cut in the bud’ like Jinhyeok himself.

Alchemy.

She was truly a necessary and proper talent for ‘Yeokcheon’.
