“Y-you mean the discovery of the Turtle Ship!?”

“Yes. Among the artifacts discovered this time, there were fragments of the Turtle Ship. Considering the extent of the damage, it’s reasonable to assume it sank at that time. If we follow the traces, I believe we can find it.”

“Even so, isn’t that just an uncertain possibility? Do you have a specific reason for being so sure?”

“The reason is…”

Naturally, it’s because the spirit of the naval officer who was aboard the Turtle Ship at that time is favorably disposed towards me.

What would have happened if I hadn’t discovered the Joseon [Korean dynasty] soldiers’ spirits on Daebumbeok Island? Even with the discovery of many artifacts, the Turtle Ship exploration would have failed. Even that would have been a significant achievement, but what would the public’s reaction be? They would just say we wasted money on useless things, and public opinion would worsen. Naturally, my business would suffer as well.

“Considering the movements at that time, the situation was extremely unfavorable. Therefore, it’s highly likely that they modified their retreat route. I thought that perhaps the reason it hasn’t been discovered until now is because of the modified retreat route.”

“That’s not what renowned scholars are saying.”

“This is based solely on the traces of the artifacts. So, it’s not unreasonable that the Turtle Ship hasn’t been discovered until now.”

Mumbling, mumbling.

The venue becomes noisy.

If I were about 90% certain of the possibility of discovering the Turtle Ship, using this strategy wouldn’t be bad.

What if we fail to discover it after all this?

Isn’t luring people in like this an everyday occurrence? There are many articles in this world that lure people in with trivial things.

“Then, I’ll be on my way…”

“Wait a minute!”

A slender, black-haired beauty pushes through the reporters and rushes towards me.

She’s a beauty only by people’s standards; she doesn’t particularly appeal to my eyes.

Looking at it this way, I can say I made an excellent choice in marriage. Because there hasn’t been anyone who has caught my eye until now.

Dr. Oh Hye-soo stands before me, panting.

Seeing her breathing heavily, I’m afraid of what she’s going to do next.

“Let me come with you!”

“No.”

Of course, I put up an iron wall.

Someone like Dr. Oh, who is a history fanatic, would undoubtedly show immense curiosity about the exploration equipment I possess.

Having a lot of interest in exploration equipment means she’s at a level where she can create exploration equipment herself to some extent.

Although she wasn’t as much of a genius as Sujeong, she still had a brain at the level of a prodigy and was known in academia as a ‘genius eccentric.’

Of course, unofficially, she was known as the ‘crazy bitch of the history world,’ but that was a hush-hush secret.

“Why not!?”

She looks at me with sparkling eyes.

Putting aside her personality, many men have probably been taken advantage of by such a look. But Dr. Oh has chosen the wrong opponent.

“No.”

“I’ll give you money.”

“I have money.”

“How about food?”

“I’m full.”

“What about me?”

“Ah, whatever.”

I maintain my ironclad guard and board the ship.

Dr. Oh is about to burst into tears.

“I’ll contact you first if we find anything.”

“Really!? Promise! If you don’t keep your promise, I’ll assassinate you!”

“……”

Is this woman really out of her mind?

Even if it’s a joke, she’s talking about assassination in a public setting.

I shake my head and board the ship, and the captain clicks his tongue.

“Tsk, tsk. Rejecting such a beauty?”

“She’s uglier than my wife.”

“What? Hahaha! I don’t know how beautiful your wife is, but can she compare to a well-maintained maiden?”

“Yes.”

“You’re henpecked, aren’t you.”

The captain smiles and enters the captain’s cabin.

Ordinary people would react like that. Because my wife’s face hasn’t been directly exposed in Korea yet.

I wonder if he’ll say the same thing after seeing my wife, who will be here this afternoon?

We’ll see.

Swish! Swish!

The weather seems colder than yesterday.

I truly feel like I’m freezing to death.

The course is set to the north.

We were supposed to search Jangmunpo today, but following the guidance of the Joseon naval soldiers’ spirits, we’ve set our course to the north.

A young spirit asked me.

-Um, descendant.

“Yes, ancestor.”

-Just how beautiful is your wife that you call that beauty a hag?

“Ah, well, she’s not a hag, and she’s decent enough. It’s just that she doesn’t measure up to my wife.”

I was outside to see the detailed route.

The weather was so cold that any liquid would turn into ice, but there was no choice.

The spirit spoke to me out of boredom on the way.

I took out a family photo from my pocket.

The spirit’s eyes widen.

-Oh? Is she a foreigner?

“She is a foreigner.”

-Hmm. Even so, a foreigner…

“International marriages aren’t a flaw these days. Besides, my wife is British royalty.”

-Gasp! Really?

“Yes.”

There was no reason to lie to the spirit.

The spirit looks at my wife’s face with fresh eyes.

-Indeed. Perhaps it’s because of the superior genes, but the daughters are pretty too.

“Hehe. Of course.”

My mouth involuntarily widens.

I’ve been so focused on work that I haven’t been thinking about my family much, but just thinking about them makes my mouth water.

Thump, thump, thump.

The fishing boat comes to a stop.

The captain comes out on deck.

“Is this the place?”

“It seems to be roughly right.”

“Aren’t we too far off course? Even if they avoided ambushes, would they have come this far? They would have been rowing against the wind back then.”

“This should be the place.”

“Hehe, alright. There’s something mysterious about you.”

The captain shakes his head and adjusts his collar.

He immediately goes back into the captain’s cabin. I’m freezing to death, and if the captain spends time here, he might really turn into a frozen fish.

I draw a hand sign in the air and immediately release the evil spirits.

“Search the seabed thoroughly.”

The evil spirits nod and immediately disappear into the seabed.

The Joseon naval spirit looks at the Japanese soldier spirits mixed in with them and nods in amazement.

-Wow, descendant, you even command the spirits of Japanese soldiers?

“Those kinds of evil spirits are best used like this.”

-That’s right. Thinking about the time we fought those bastards makes me shudder. Those bastards should live as slaves forever.

“You’ve suffered a lot fighting them until now.”

I mean it.

Even if they were exiled to an island, it wouldn’t have been easy to fight back and forth for 400 years.

The spirit said.

-Descendant. I’ll go and look too.

“Can’t spirits cross the sea? Moreover, this is the seabed.”

“I can’t stay long. But I’ll be okay for a little while.”

It was clear that spirits and seawater were incompatible.

Even the spirits who received orders from me would pop up about every 10 minutes and then go back in, so it was certain that the salt itself had a negative effect on the ghosts.

Is that why people sprinkle salt to chase away ghosts?

Now all I have to do is wait.

If the Turtle Ship is sunk on the bottom, I thought that no matter where it was sunk, I would definitely be able to find it.

Anxiously, time passed.

At first, I thought I would be able to find it quickly. But it’s taking longer than I thought.

-Ah, this is definitely the place?

The Joseon naval spirit was in great pain, but he repeatedly went into and out of the sea.

As expected, salt has a bad effect on ghosts.

Even the evil spirits who are forced to carry out orders can’t stand it, so how much more would a normal spirit suffer?

But still, the Joseon soldiers bravely went in and out of the sea.

I look up at the sky.

Three helicopters were still flying in the sky.

The captain was holed up in the captain’s cabin and didn’t come out at all. The sun had risen, but the winter general had no intention of retreating.

Rather, the wind blows even stronger.

The window opens, and the captain shouts.

“Businessman! Come inside! You’ll freeze to death!”

“I’m okay, Captain.”

“Want to have some sashimi with soju [Korean distilled beverage]?”

“No. I’m okay.”

The captain didn’t offer twice.

I have to make an announcement if I find the Turtle Ship, and my family is coming down from Seoul this afternoon, so I can’t drink.

By the way, I’m getting more and more anxious.

Did the Turtle Ship even sink?

I was thinking that when it happened.

The Joseon naval spirit soared up.

His spirit seemed to be dyed red.

-I, I found it!

H Group’s salvage ship deck.

Unless fully armed, the cold that felt like it would tear off your skin had taken over the deck, but Chief Han Cheol-soo couldn’t escape from here.

Because the things being lifted up were all great artifacts.

Even if it’s a Japanese navy artifact, it’s a valuable historical material in its own right. So, none of them can be taken lightly.

In addition to this, he couldn’t go inside because he had to deal with Oh Hye-soo, who was making a fuss.

“Be careful there! It’s more precious than your life!”

The faces of the workers doing the salvage contorted.

Han Cheol-soo had to step in every time this happened.

“Hahaha. Those people know it all.”

“Hmph! What do they know? They already broke one artifact!”

“That was an unavoidable accident.”

“That’s why I’m stepping in!”

She’s a woman with quite a lot of emotional ups and downs.

Even Chief Han, who had gone through thick and thin to get to this position, couldn’t easily control her.

“It’s an accident. Anyone would have done that in that situation. Come on, the important thing is the Turtle Ship, right?”

“No! The historical materials here are important too!”

Eventually, Han Cheol-soo felt a headache coming on.

At first, the workers who had been fond of her because of her slender and pretty face were now working far away.

They didn’t even want to talk to her if possible.

That was the same for Han Cheol-soo, but if he left here, this woman would run wild like a madman.

‘I’m sorry to CEO Lee, but I hope we can find the Turtle Ship as soon as possible and take this woman away.’

He had a vicious idea of ​​handing her over to Lee Yoo-sung, who seemed to be fond of Oh Hye-soo.

Chiiik.

At that time, a radio rang like a light of salvation.

-We found the Turtle Ship!

“Gasp! Really!?”

“What did you sayyyyy!?”

Oh Hye-soo’s eyes widen.

Her face was flushed red, and her whole body felt like it was swelling up as if it were a time bomb.

Maybe that’s because of the emotion called excitement.

A welcome sound came from Oh Hye-soo’s mouth.

“I’m going now! I’ll go by boat!”

-No. We’re going to the pier.

“I want to go!”

-No.

“Heo.”

Han Cheol-soo admires.

CEO Lee Yoo-sung completely put up an iron wall. Somehow, he suffered an unexpected defeat today.
