Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 111
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 111
Episode 111
“I’m sorry. “Mission failed.”
Borin knelt on one knee and bowed his head.
In front of her was an elf woman sitting on a large wooden chair.
The elf woman’s name is Serian Oleana.
It was a rare pure-blooded elf.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her hair and eyebrows were platinum blonde, so from a distance she looked like a white fairy.
At first glance, she appears to be only in her late thirties or early forties, but she is actually over three hundred years old.
When her hometown, Kurayan, was destroyed, she came to Earth.
She came to Earth dreaming of a new paradise, but the reality that greeted her was too cruel.
The Earth, which had become a desert due to the failure of terraforming, was the worst environment for life to survive.
Many of their compatriots could not endure the harsh environment and died.
Those who survived moved somewhere in groups and created their own city.
That place was El Harun.
Serian was also able to enter El Harun. But it didn’t happen.
It was because of those who fell behind.
To protect them, Serian willingly remained in the human world and became the ruler of the northern sector.
The large wooden chair she is sitting on is made from fragments of the World Tree brought from Kurayan.
This wooden chair elevated her status and gave her the dignity of a ruler.
That was one of the reasons she became the queen of the remaining races in Neo Seoul.
Serian opened his mouth.
“Did you say he was definitely Elharun?”
“That’s right.”
“You’re obviously human, but you said that?”
“That’s right.”
“How can humans call El-Harun…”
“Can you tell me what El-Harun is?”
“That’s…”
Serian hesitated for a moment in response to Borin’s cautious question.
Even in the North District, only two people knew of Elharun’s existence.
One was himself and the other was Eli, the second-in-command of the North District.
The two also kept Elharun’s existence a top secret.
They were a different race who had been left behind in Neo Seoul, the human world.
Elharun, the city of different races that came from Kurayan, might be a light of hope for the different races of Neo Seoul. However, it could be dangerous if the location was revealed to humans, so it was kept completely secret.
Serian and Eli waited for Elharun to contact them sometime after he was large enough. But no matter how long she waited, Elharun did not contact her, and she, tired of waiting, gave up hope.
Decades passed, and quite unexpectedly, I heard the name Elharun through the mouth of a human being.
“sorry. “I can’t tell you yet.”
“Such…”
“But if a situation arises where it’s okay to tell, I promise I’ll be the first to tell Borin.”
“All right.”
Borin answered, trying to hide his disappointed expression.
Serian also saw through Borin’s psychology, but pretended not to notice.
“really! “What did you say his name was?”
“This is Xeon.”
“Xeon in the ghetto. “You mean the minimum estimated grade is B?”
“That’s right.”
“Is there an elf who appears to be pureblood next to him?”
“yes!”
“Do you by any chance know the name of the elf?”
“That…”
Borin stuttered.
“We’re the same elf, but you don’t know their names?”
“For some reason, he refused to give me his name.”
“is it so?”
A deep furrow appeared between Serian’s eyebrows.
Elves are beings who communicate.
No matter how much of an enemy he is, he has no hesitation in revealing his name.
If it’s the same elf.
It was rare for a pure-blooded elf to refuse to reveal his true name.
This is because the name is the most authentic identity that proves their roots.
Refusing to reveal his name is consistent with his refusal to communicate with other elves.
“Pure elves refuse to communicate?”
I don’t understand it with Serian’s common sense.
‘Or is it not a pure elf? If that were the case, there would have been no way that Borin wouldn’t recognize it. if?’
At that moment, a thought passed through Serian’s mind.
Borin, seeing the change in her expression, asked cautiously.
“Why are you doing this? Is there anything strange?”
“no. Borin! “You worked hard, so just go back and rest.”
“yes? “Oh, I understand.”
Borin bowed his head and stepped back.
Serian, who was left alone, muttered.
“What if she’s a high… elf?”
＊＊＊
Passu!
The wall that separated the house collapsed like a sand castle.
“yap!”
As Brielle spread her hands wide, a strong wind arose and blew the sandy remains of the wall out the window.
“Amazing?”
“Well, this is just gum for this body.”
Brielle laughed, wiping her nose with her finger at Levin’s praise.
As soon as Zeon said he needed to expand the house, Levin moved into the house next door and negotiated.
Fortunately, Zeon had quite a bit of money and the landlord was also willing to move, so the negotiations were concluded in an instant.
The owner moved into the new house right away in the evening, and Brielle knocked down the wall of the empty house.
In that way, Zeon’s house doubled in size in an instant.
At that moment, the magic stone generator made a ‘hum’ sound.
The Watching Eye, a black gem that acts as the core of the magicite generator, has detected the expansion of its territory.
Red lines stretched out like a net from the watching eyes.
The red line covered the entire expanded area and then disappeared without a trace.
Levin, who saw this, blinked in surprise.
“What is that?”
“Watching eyes? “I never thought I would actually see this.”
“what is that?”
“I’ve only heard about it from adults, but it’s my first time seeing it, so I’m not sure, but it’s a barrier used in royal treasuries and safes. They say it ignores most physical and magical attacks. I can’t believe there was something like this hidden inside the magic generator. “Where on earth did Xeon get something like this?”
“Is it such a valuable item?”
“First of all, none of the elves I know have something like this.”
“It’s very precious.”
“huh!”
Brielle glared at the magic generator.
To be exact, it was a watching eye mounted inside the magic power generator.
Her heart was filled with a desire to study the watching eye.
Levin, seeing that, shook his head.
Even without having to check it with her own eyes, it was clear that Brielle would be obsessed with watching her for the time being.
“Anyway, it’s welcome that the house has become so spacious.”
With this, Zeon’s house doubled.
The collapsed walls and pillars were reinforced with magic by Brielle, so there was no danger of them collapsing.
Brielle immediately packed her bags and moved over to the space that used to be next door. And I wanted the biggest room.
“This is my laboratory. “Don’t come in.”
“do whatever you want. “I’m satisfied with just one small room.”
Levin chuckled.
At that time, Zeon came out wearing a robe.
“Where are you going?”
“Butcher shop. “You go together too.”
“me too?”
“okay!”
“all right.”
Levin followed Zeon without saying anything.
“Levin!”
“Where have you been? “I couldn’t see anything.”
As soon as he came out onto the street, children his age recognized Levin and started talking to him.
Levin greeted the children by bumping his fist.
“How have you been?”
“I had some work to do, so I decided to stay at my friend’s house from now on.”
Zeon chuckled when he saw Levin like that.
‘He’s popular.’
No matter where you go, there are people who attract people’s attention and become leaders.
Perhaps Levin was like that type of person.
After a while, the two arrived at the street where the butcher shop was located.
There were quite a few people on the street.
It’s always been good, but it’s become more active recently.
This meant that there were a lot of people looking for it and a lot of things for sale.
“A store owner like that would rake in money with a pitchfork.”
“Are you jealous?”
“yes!”
Levin answered without any hesitation.
No one living in a slum can avoid poverty.
The slums were places where people had to live hungry all the time.
A hell without dreams or hope.
For Levin, the ghetto was that kind of place.
The only thing that kept him going was his family, but he lost it all to the killer.
If I had lived in Neo Seoul instead of a slum, something like that might not have happened.
“If I finish my revenge, I will make a lot of money. So, I will live in Neo Seoul.”
“That’s not bad either.”
“What about you?”
“what?”
“Even now, if you want, you can live in Neo Seoul. “But why are you in the slums?”
“I feel much more comfortable in the slums than in Neo Seoul.”
“is it so?”
“Everyone has different comfort points, so you can do whatever you feel like.”
“yes!”
While we were talking about this and that, we arrived at our destination, a butcher shop.
Inside the butcher shop, a large man was cutting a large, nameless piece of meat.
It was Will, the owner of the butcher shop.
Will found Zeon and bowed his head.
“welcome.”
“What about old Clexi?”
“You went to the Goblin Market because you had some business to run.”
“For some reason, I couldn’t see it.”
“Is there anything you need?”
“I need a car.”
“The only thing available right now is a small buggy.”
“That’s enough.”
“I will prepare it right away.”
Will said he would arrange it without even asking why he needed a vehicle.
Instead, Levin asked why.
“Why the car?”
“To go out to the desert.”
“Why in the desert?”
“There is something to find.”
“What is that?”
“You will find out soon enough without asking so much.”
“yes?”
Zeon smiled meaningfully at Levin, who tilted his head.
Levin felt a strange chill.
After a while the buggy was ready.
It was a car that looked like a skeleton, with no armor and only a skeleton.
It was fortunate that there was a roof to avoid the sun.
Zeon sat in the driver’s seat and said to Levin.
“let’s go!”
“yes!”
The buggy carrying the two people left the slums and went out into the desert.
“Wow!”
Levin let out an exclamation.
I’ve seen many deserts in slums, but this was my first time coming out and seeing them in person.
Levin felt both excitement and fear.
On the other hand, I was curious about where Zeon was taking me.
Jeon drove dozens of kilometers away from Neo Seoul.
When I could no longer see Neo Seoul, I closed my eyes and raised my senses.
His senses stretched endlessly across the sand.
After a while he opened his eyes and said:
“found.”
“What?”
Instead of answering, Zeon drove the car.
After running for a while, we arrived at a small sandstone area formed by solidified sand.
There was a gap in the sandstone area that could barely fit a person.
Zeon said to Levin.
“Go in.”
“to?”
The moment Levin’s eyes widened at the unexpected words, Zeon kicked him.
puck!
“Gagging!”
Levin tumbled into the sandstone crevice with a scream.
Zeon muttered as he watched Levin disappear into the darkness in an instant.
“If you don’t want to die, you’ll have to do your best.”
