Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 105
Episode 105
“Aww! “This damn sun.”
Brielle grumbled.
Although she covered her face with a cone hat, the sunlight reflecting off the floor hit her face mercilessly.
It’s been a while since I went outside, but the sun was shining even hotter today.
Everything was hot.
The buildings, roads, and even the air in the slums were blazing and seemed as if they would melt at any moment.
The poor, who never went out during the day, came to the shaded alleys to escape the heat.
They were constantly fanning their hands to cool off from the heat.
Brielle looked at them and then walked away.
Her destination was the Goblin Market.
Even while Zeon was away, I came and went so many times that it now felt like home.
“Heungheung!”
Brielle walked while humming.
felt good.
Because last night’s experiment was successful.
It wasn’t the mana amplification potion I wanted, but I created a potion that was comparable to it.
It wasn’t the intended potion.
This is because it was accidentally acquired during the process of making a mana boosting potion.
Although it is said to be a coincidence, the performance was not bad.
No, it was so good.
That was the reason Brielle headed to the goblin market.
Since I was going with good results, I had no choice but to walk lightly.
But soon she heard a voice that disturbed her mood.
“There kid.”
“Conical hat. “Come here for a moment.”
For a moment, Brielle’s expression distorted.
‘under! ‘Again.’
It’s this kind of neighborhood.
When a girl walks alone on the street, she inevitably hears a sinister voice.
The owners of the voices are gangsters who look like they are in their twenties.
Hiding in the shadows of an alley, he motions for Brielle to come here.
There is nothing more formidable than a woman or a young girl who travels alone.
The gangsters’ intentions were obvious to anyone who could see them.
Brielle sighed and walked towards them.
The gangsters laughed because they thought Brielle was coming because she was scared.
“Hehehe!”
“Please take off your hat.”
One of the gangsters lifted Brielle’s hat.
The little girl whistled at her pale but pretty appearance.
“Hwiyu!”
“It’s quite pretty. “I won’t be bored.”
At that moment, Brielle spoke in a cold voice.
“You better keep your dirty hands off.”
The gangsters looked dumbfounded.
“what? “How dare this little bitch give orders to someone?”
“Fuck! “You need to get hit a little to come to your senses.”
They raised their fists to commit violence.
At that moment, Brielle’s eyes glowed eerily.
“Air binding!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding air tightened around them.
“Oops!”
“Quek!”
The gangsters were frozen and unable to move due to the strong pressure.
At that moment, my breathing was constricted as if a rope had been wrapped around my neck.
The faces of the gangsters turned white and their tongues stuck out.
Brielle looked at those scoundrels with an insensitive expression.
Even though she was captured by hunters and brought here, she was an elf.
High elves are also much more noble than ordinary elves.
She was able to use magic that human awakeners could barely use without any problem.
As she recovered a little from the aftereffects of the drug, she was regaining her former magic skills.
This level of magic can now be performed as easily as breathing.
The gangsters fell to the floor and suffered.
“Ugh!”
“Oh, my mistake… save me…”
Brielle’s expression did not change despite their pleas.
Death was a daily occurrence in the slums.
Even if they die, no one will care.
Brielle sentenced them to death.
“You bastards! “Just die.”
“Whoa whoa!” calm down.”
At that time, I heard someone’s voice from behind me.
When she turned around, she saw a boy with half-shaved hair, flashy earrings, and impressive piercings looking at her.
Brielle recognized the boy at a glance.
“Levin!”
“long time no see. Brielle!”
“You’re not taking their side, are you?”
“No way! There’s no way I’m siding with such trash. “I’m just saying that you don’t need to bury the blood of those scoundrels.”
“why?”
“These are people who committed a crime in another district and ran away. If you catch these guys, there’s a bounty. “It would be better to hand him over and collect the bounty.”
“okay?”
Levin did not miss the sparkle in Brielle’s eyes.
He said with a grin.
“The bounty isn’t that big. Only five hundred soles. “But it’s still public money.”
“Will Levin take care of it for you?”
“Gladly!”
In response to Levin’s answer, Brielle released the spell.
dump!
The gangsters sat down on the floor and were breathing heavily.
I was so close to death that I had no strength in my hands and feet.
Of course, I couldn’t think of running away.
When Levin gestured, the boys at the entrance to the alley took the gangsters away.
Brielle asked.
“Levin’s subordinate?”
“friends!”
“ah!”
“Where is Brielle going since daytime?”
“Goblin market!”
“Good. “I’m going to the goblin market too.”
“Why is Levin going?”
“I have someone to look for.”
“who?”
“I do not know either. “It’s not accurate.”
“I see.”
Brielle shook her head.
She also knew about Levin’s situation.
Who is Levin looking for?
He was still hunting down the killer.
“Did you get a clue?”
“It looks like some of the items he uses came from the goblin market. So, for now, I’m going to sit in the goblin market and watch.”
“Are you qualified to go in?”
“So I’m going with you. Why not?”
“Okay!”
Brielle nodded without further thought.
The Goblin Market does not open its doors to just anyone.
Access is granted only to those whose identity has been strictly verified.
Of course Brielle was qualified.
If Brielle guarantees, Levin can also enter the goblin market.
Levin, who was walking with me, asked as if he had suddenly remembered something.
“What about Zeon?”
“I’m resting at home.”
After returning from Neo Seoul, Jeon stayed at home without going anywhere.
“Where have you been? “I haven’t seen you for a few days.”
“huh! “I went there because I had some work to do.”
“I see.”
Levin asked no further questions.
As we walked and talked about various things, we arrived at the Goblin Market.
Thanks to Brielle, Levin was able to enter the Goblin Market safely.
Brielle said to Levin.
“We must part ways now. “I have to go this way.”
“Thank you for letting me in. “Do your business well and then go in.”
“huh!”
“See you later then.”
Levin waved his hand and disappeared among the people.
Brielle looked at his back for a moment and then turned around.
The place she headed to was Yoo Se-hee’s residence.
Yoo Se-hee greeted Brielle with a smile.
“long time no see.”
“Not that long. “Once again.”
Brielle grumbled and sat down.
“What about Xeon?”
“I’m resting at home.”
“No word on when you’ll stop by the goblin market?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I see.”
She owed Zeon a great debt.
Although it was due to Tajik pressure, Zeon was driven into the dungeon with information blocked anyway.
Although he said it was to save old man Clexi, it was a shameful action unbecoming of the leader of the goblin market union.
Because of that, she felt indebted to Zeon.
Yoo Se-hee spoke.
“But what’s going on in my room? “You can buy the things you need from merchants.”
“This time I want to sell it.”
“huh?”
“I made something.”
Brielle took out two bottles filled with blue liquid from her sleeves.
“What is this?”
“Detox potion!”
“portion?”
Yoo Se-hee opened his eyes wide.
Usually, potion is a word that refers to medicine in liquid form.
However, in modern times, potions have a special meaning.
This is because it is the crystallization of modern alchemy created by awakened magicians.
Some potions can cure diseases or restore mana.
Thanks to this, miraculous things that were previously unthinkable became possible. However, only a small number of awakened people knew how to make potions, and even those were strictly controlled by Neo Seoul.
It is designated as a strategic material and its import and export is strictly controlled.
Various potions were released to the losers of Neo Seoul according to interests and transactions.
Potions that removed various status ailments were one of the good tools to gain the loyalty of subordinates.
Because of that, it was not easy to obtain potions on the market.
It was even more difficult to obtain potions in the slums.
The goblin market also sells potions, but most of them are cheap and ineffective.
Really good potions were hard to find even in the goblin market.
Yoo Se-hee asked, trying hard to hide her excitement.
“How effective is it?”
“It is possible to detoxify even the poison of D-class magical beasts.”
“At that level… it’s a little weak.”
“Do you really think so?”
Brielle looked at Yoo Se-hee.
Yoo Se-hee did not miss the light of contempt in her eyes.
‘This little boy…’
Something stirred up inside me.
It was because I was ashamed of my true feelings being discovered by a young child.
Most of the demonic beasts that awakened people in the slums mainly hunt were D-class or lower.
Hunting more demonic beasts was too dangerous, and there wasn’t much to gain compared to the risk.
Among the D-class and lower demonic beasts, there were quite a few that possessed poison.
If it is not decrypted in time, it can cause the awakened people to die in an instant.
In short, if the detox potion brought out by Brielle is really that effective, it could be the best product for the slums.
“Whoa! “You know you have to verify it first, right?”
“So I brought two bottles. “I will test it and sign a contract once it is proven effective.”
“okay. “Let’s test it as fairly as possible.”
“If you pass the test, you will sign a contract in Zeon’s name.”
“Not in your name?”
Yoo Se-hee made an unexpected expression.
It is incomprehensible that such an enormous result is being done in the name of Zeon rather than in his own name.
“huh! “I’ll do it in Zeon’s name.”
“Then, is it okay for your share of the profits to go to Zeon?”
“That’s what I’m trying to do.”
“why?”
“Because I want to repay some of my debt to Zeon.”
“….”
“If it weren’t for him, I would still be making drugs in the crocodile den. “I hate all humans, but he is the exception.”
I made a spiritual pact to live.
I was unintentionally tied up with the strings of an oath.
He was reduced to a position where he had no choice but to follow whatever Zeon asked.
Even if my body was asked for, I couldn’t refuse it.
However, Zeon did not ask Brielle for anything.
Rather, I was thankful that she was left to act freely.
“If you owe money, you have to pay it back. “That’s our way.”
“You won’t regret it, right?”
“never!”
“The kid is unnecessarily serious… Okay! We will verify the effectiveness and if we are sure, we will produce it exclusively. You will hand over the recipe, right?”
“If the conditions are right….”
“Deal?”
“Deal!”
