Chapter 608 - Agenda In South Korea
\'Ely, only a few of these treasures contain magic energy. Just this crystal and some of these weird pieces. Err... The colorful seeds? Anyway, the rest is just gems and precious metals.\' Sylvia pursed her lips and reported the loot to Elysia.
Elysia looked at the empty room. A small mountain full of treasures had disappeared into Sylvia\'s Space Bag. Sylvia and Vanessa were so enthusiastic about looting it all. However, they separated the precious resources into special containers.
\'Let me see.\' Elysia received the pouch and looked at its contents.
Inside, she could find some colorful ores and some mysterious crystals. It did contain magic energy, albeit somewhat different from what she could find in Vrelenia.
\'About four kilograms. Nice, let\'s get out of here, Sylvi. The divers might get here.\' Elysia put the pouch into her Space Bag, and no one objected.
\'Okay but, do we need to loot the one that\'s on the skeletons? They look valuable too.\' Sylvia tugged at the hem of Elysia\'s sleeve.
\'Ehm... What if it\'s cursed? We\'re greedy enough to loot the treasure room over there. Let\'s just leave them there. Let the people who will come here have a little share too.\' Elysia shook her head and immediately wrapped the three of them in protective magic with invisibility.
\'Hehe, maybe you\'re right, Ely. I can feel the evil aura from the gems in this and that skeleton.\' Sylvia just obeyed, and the three of them immediately ran away from there.
By the time they arrived near the cave lake, a dozen people armored like astronauts could be seen everywhere. The people were busy researching the cave, full of questions and wonder. That place was a new discovery that held a million mysteries.
Elysia gave a telepathic reminder to Sylvia and Vanessa to enter the lake carefully, without creating splashes or noise.
*Blob*
A little noise in the small lake alarmed the researchers. They pointed their flashlights at the sound source nimbly, but there was nothing. Therefore, they just shrugged their shoulders and went to examine the cave again.
\'Phew, we\'ve made it out. It\'s a flawless operation, Captain Elysia. We win the jackpot, and the losers will only have the leftovers, hehe...\' Sylvia wiped her non-existent sweat in a satisfied laugh. She controlled the Gravy Ark to fly out of the sea.
"Mm." Elysia just nodded and looked behind her once more. She was sure the underwater cave would be visited by many people soon.
"Well, hopefully, they\'ll be okay since those traps aren\'t human-friendly." Vanessa pointed out the truth.
"..." Elysia fell silent, and Sylvia nodded in agreement. Even so, it was no longer their business.
"Ely, where are we going now? Back to Japan?" Sylvia asked as they were already floating in the sky.
"No, let\'s continue our journey to-." Elysia thought of converting those treasures into money since they didn\'t mean much to her. However, Elena did not share the same opinion.
\'Ely, don\'t go to China for that. If you want to auction or sell the treasures, go to another country. We find them all in the South China Sea. They may recognize some of the treasures. You know what I mean, right?\' Elena immediately prevented Elysia from going there.
\'Then, where are we going? Back to Japan?\' Elysia also thought it made sense.
\'No, we\'d better go to South Korea for that. We can give that btch a little punishment too. What do you think?\' Elena threw in a very brilliant suggestion. She sounded very excited to convey that.
\'South Korea? But, I\'m not proficient in Korean. Is it okay if I use English? Then how am I supposed to find that woman in such a country?\' Elysia didn\'t have any objections, but she was still constrained somehow.
\'We\'ll find a way there. Now, you just have to go there. We can hire a translator if necessary. Besides, we can go to the International Esper Association and get acquainted with some well-known people there, or maybe some young masters from prominent clans, hehe... You can use them to your advantage just with your beauty. Um, you actually can play them in your palms and fingers~\' Elena gave a little explanation with a rhythm.
\'Imposing a deserved punishment, hmm... So, we will ask someone with influence and authority to track down that woman? Well, let\'s do that. Hopefully, that woman is still in South Korea. If she returns to Japan, Erina-san might be able to help out a lot.\' Elysia didn\'t feel there was any harm in doing that.
\'Hum-mm, yes, that\'s it.\' Elena nodded with satisfaction.
"Ely, why don\'t you finish your sentence? I\'m still waiting for you, you know?" Sylvia pouted slightly.
"Ah, yes, sorry. Let\'s go that way. We\'re going to South Korea to auction off some of the treasures we found earlier for money. Hm, we might be able to get some interesting stuff at the auction house if we have enough money." Elysia pointed towards the northeast.
"Aye, captain!" Sylvia saluted, and they immediately shot towards South Korea.
Birds could be seen flying in the twilight sky. Two girls were walking on the somewhat deserted street with some confusing feelings. They were near the beach, and Elysia could only rely on maps and a translator app on her smartphone.
"Ely, I know we\'re lost, but it\'s almost night. Do you really not know the language of this place?" Sylvia asked in amazement.
"Uuh, yes, sorry. I can\'t speak Korean other than everyday words that are easy to remember. This is also the first time I set foot in South Korea." Elysia looked left and right in confusion.
"Hm, is it possible... This country applies the language of gods? Hmm, this looks like writing in Japanese, well, just similar. Anyway, if there\'s nothing we can understand here, why did we come to this country? Uuh, multi-language in every area very troublesome." Sylvia shook her head as she didn\'t want to understand the complexity of this world\'s language.
"You don\'t need to worry, Sylvi. We are now in the metropolis, Busan City. We are close to Japan, actually. We are still quite far from the city center since we landed close to the coast. Look at the tall buildings over there. But, let\'s sit there for a while watching the sunset. I\'ll order a taxi while looking for a good translator." Elysia invited Sylvia to go to a bench near the coastal path.
"Ah, yep, you\'re smart, Ely. We just need a translator. We can wait while eating some snacks and ice cream and watching the sunset. Hum-mm~ Sounds great." Sylvia instantly became cheerful. She forgot that Elysia had not answered why they came to this country over the others.
Elysia let Vanessa come with Sylvia to eat snacks while watching the sunset, and she busied herself with her smartphone.
She opened the international worksheet network and used the filter feature to display services in South Korea. She tried to find suitable people to hire to make her life there easier.
\'Well, it\'s a bit difficult to find a suitable person... Why is everything appearing in Korean now? Does it redirect us somewhere else? Let\'s use auto-translate then.\' Elysia felt a little bit confused, but she just didn\'t make a fuss about it.
Elena and Rhea helped with their opinions regarding the people who caught Elysia\'s attention, even if only for a moment. Until they finally could find the one that fits best.
\'Yep, a nice professional female translator who is just starting her career. She is multilingual and seems reliable. Ah, she seems to have other careers and skills too. Hmm, she graduated from a reputable law university. But, why did she become a translator for tourists?\' Elysia was utterly clueless about that information.
\'Forget the trivia, Ely. We cannot determine someone\'s career based solely on their education. You are one example, actually. A graduate of technical school, but you plunged into the world of agriculture and economics. Oh, no, you got into the realm of magic and divine law now, hehe...\' Elena couldn\'t help but chuckle to remind Elysia of that.
\'Uh, well... you\'re right, master. Let\'s request this site to connect us to this lady. We need her help now. Un, let\'s help the newcomer by becoming her first customer in her portfolio.\' Elysia immediately contacted the admin on the international site and sent her request by following the procedure.
"Have you found a suitable person, Ely? Come enjoy this with me. This place is quite peaceful, it seems. Oh, I mean here. If it was there, it was quite noisy and rowdy. I wonder why those people are so busy cornering that couple. Are they the robbers?" Sylvia handed over ice cream to Elysia and pointed to the side.
"Hmm?" Elysia nodded and received the ice cream. She then looked in the indicated direction. Sure enough, a group of thugs was cornering a pair of lovebirds.
The girl took cover behind the boy, but the boy himself was scared silly and couldn\'t say anything.
"Oh, they finally gave their money, and their lives were saved. Hm, lives are worth more, after all. Then, they fled as fast as they could from the robbers. The robbers laughed at each other. Oh no, now they are spotted us and will probably target us. They\'re coming towards us now." Sylvia narrated the event in a whisper-like voice.
"Uuu, why are you narrating it like that, Sylvi? Let\'s get away from here then." Elysia could see an annoying problem was coming.
"No worry, Ely. We don\'t have to run away from those bugs and pests. They can\'t do anything to us. Let me deal with this by teaching them a valuable lesson if they dare to bother us. Their number and existence mean nothing to us. Please eat your ice cream and let this Devil Princess take care of everything, hehe...." Sylvia pretended not to see the thugs as she tried to reassure Elysia.
