Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 115
Episode 115
Pow!
A small explosion occurred inside a small pot.
Brielle carefully looked into the pot.
It was an item called the witch’s cauldron.
It was an item that Brielle obtained with difficulty at the goblin market and increased the probability of success by a whopping twenty percent.
So I had high expectations, but the result was a huge failure.
Instead of golden liquid, the pot contained a black porridge-like substance.
Brielle held her head with both hands and screamed.
“Ugh! I failed again. Nonsense! Why did I fail when the odds of success were twenty percent higher? You cheater! They definitely sold me a fake. Otherwise, there is no reason to fail.”
Brielle, who had been glowing for a while, huffed and put on her cone hat.
He wants to visit the merchant who sold him the witch’s cauldron.
“Hey!”
Brielle threw herself out the window.
The wind blew and gently hugged her body, which was falling at an alarming speed.
Thanks to this, Brielle was able to land safely.
Brielle headed straight to the goblin market.
I went there once a day, and now I can visit it with my eyes closed.
Brielle entered the goblin market and entered the store that sold the witch’s cauldron.
“You old swindler!”
“No, who is this? “Aren’t you our VIP lady?”
Old Man Strawberry Nose greeted Brielle, who was angry.
He was Corwin, the owner of this store.
Corwin is one of the mainstays of the goblin market and has been collecting numerous items for a long time.
The witch’s cauldron was one of those items collected.
Brielle shouted.
“I used the witch’s cauldron, but it failed. “That’s fake, right?”
“You’re angry because the alchemy failed. “My little girl!”
“Are you selling me a fake?”
“Now, don’t be angry, sit here. “When you do alchemy, failure is common.”
“Mr. Ui! “I bought it because it said it would increase the odds of success by 20 percent.”
“Probably, but how can you succeed right away? That is why there is a saying that failure is the mother of success.”
“How can failure be your mother?”
“That’s what it says. haha!”
Corwin looked at Brielle with a warm expression and eyes as if he were looking at his own granddaughter.
Looking at his eyes, Brielle felt her anger subside a little.
“Sit here and have a cup of hot cocoa. Then you will feel at ease.”
“Do you know who came to drink cocoa?”
“know! I came to question you. Still, let’s have a cup of cocoa and discuss.”
Corwin rode Cocoa without listening to Brielle.
Brielle swallowed her saliva without realizing it as the sweet smell irritated her nose.
“Now drink it! “It’s the one we brought in from Neo Seoul this time, so it’s going to be quite delicious.”
“Tch!”
Brielle wrinkled her nose and took the cup of cocoa.
Corwin looked at Brielle drinking cocoa with a warm smile.
Brielle seemed to feel relieved before she knew it, tapping her foot and drinking cocoa.
“Is it delicious?”
“huh!”
“I’ll give you some when you go, so take it with you.”
“huh!”
Brielle nodded.
There was no longer any thought left in her mind that the witch’s cauldron was fake.
That was just an excuse.
When I came here, Corwin always served me hot cocoa.
In the slums, you could only drink cocoa here.
Corwin asked.
“What about Xeon?”
“He’s not back yet.”
“Oh my! “You must be bored.”
“are you okay! “I just need to research alchemy.”
“Aren’t you worried?”
“huh! “I know Zeon is safe.”
Brielle answered with a confident voice.
By making a soul pact, the two were connected by an invisible string.
I don’t know about Zeon, but Brielle, a high elf, could feel Zeon’s condition to some extent.
That’s why I didn’t worry even if we were away for a long time.
“That’s amazing. “Our VIP lady!”
“Heh!”
Corwin smiled while watching Brielle’s nose rise high into the sky.
Corwin had no family.
I have been living alone ever since I lost my son’s family to demonic beasts decades ago. It was a great joy to see Brielle visit him occasionally.
So, he handed over the precious witch’s cauldron to Brielle at a low price. And now I was wondering what else I should take care of.
Corwin said to Brielle.
“Shall I give you this too?”
***
“joy! joy!”
Brielle walked down the street humming.
I was happy to receive some valuable ingredients from Corwin.
Of course it wasn’t free.
Brielle paid the price because she believed that nothing in this world is free without reason. However, the discount rate is so huge that it goes beyond imagination.
Brielle muttered.
‘Now I can also open subspace.’
There were only a very small number of magical awakened people who could open subspace.
Even at the same level, some people can open it, while others cannot open it even if they spend their entire lives. Most magic awakeners belonged to the latter group.
Fortunately, Brielle was able to open the subspace, perhaps because she was not human.
Brielle’s hole was not that big.
Just a small room.
But that was enough for Brielle.
All kinds of reagents and valuable materials were stored in subspace. Even then, I still had some spare time and stored the materials I received from Corwin.
Thinking that I could now go home and do alchemy again made me feel excited. But a voice broke her joy.
“hey! Little.”
Brielle turned her head to look at the unpleasant voice, and saw bad-looking men beckoning to her in an alley.
“me?”
“okay! Kid. “Why don’t you come here?”
“why me?”
“Fuck! You talk a lot. “It’s because they want to see your face.”
The men spoke mischievously.
Brielle looked at them closely.
“These are people I haven’t seen before. “I guess they came from another area?”
“ah! Fuck you! You really talk a lot. “Yes, you guys came to Sinchon for the first time today.”
“ah! I see.”
Brielle nodded.
The awakened people and men in Sinchon never touch Brielle.
Because she knows that her protector is Zeon.
Also, Eaton, the ruler of Sinchon, gave orders to his subordinates.
Never let anyone touch Brielle.
That is why, even when Brielle walks alone through the dangerous slums, no one approaches her.
Men evaluated Brielle.
“If I decorate that a little bit, I could sell it for a lot of money, right?”
“Fuck! “If you just take off that damn conical hat, it’ll be usable.”
“How about we… before selling?”
The men exchanged looks.
They were awakened people from another area.
Although they were all F-class, they still possessed strength that was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Because of this, he was able to commit crimes while changing areas and still survive.
Their target this time was Brielle.
There are quite a few buyers who like such young and delicate girls. If you hand Brielle over to them, you can make quite a lot of money.
Sreung!
“Come here when I have something nice to say. “Before I slash your face with this knife.”
One of the awakened people drew his sword and threatened.
Others said he looked scary, but it didn’t impress Brielle at all.
Although he specialized in alchemy, he was also able to use other magic quite a bit. Those minnows were no match for her.
“ha!”
It was when Brielle sighed and was about to perform her magic.
“Get out of the way! “Don’t block the road.”
Suddenly, a heavy voice came from behind the men.
“what?”
“Fuck! “What kind of bastard…”
The men turned around, swearing. Then I saw a man walking towards me from the other side of the alley.
The man was wearing a mustang coat made from the skin of an unknown magical beast.
There was a huge amount of fur on the collar of the mustang coat, making the man look bigger.
In reality, the man was quite large.
Short-cut hair, yellow eyes reminiscent of gold, and a large scar across his right cheek made the man look mysterious and intimidating.
The yellow-eyed man spoke coldly.
“Get out of the way.”
“Who is this bastard…”
“Screw you!”
“I’m dead!”
The men got angry and rushed at the yellow-eyed man.
Before they knew it, they each had their own weapons in their hands.
As all martial arts awakened people, they quickly approached the man and thrust him into his vital area.
It was the moment when their weapons were about to penetrate the man’s body.
There was a ferocious light in the man’s eyes.
“You bugs….”
Flash!
At that moment, an incredibly bright lightning flashed from the man’s body.
The powerful thunderbolt instantly struck the entire bodies of the attacking men.
“Aaaah!”
“Ahh!”
“Euddd!”
At the end of the scream, the men’s entire bodies turned pitch black in an instant.
The smell of burning flesh spread through the alley.
Brielle was not impressed by the unpleasant smell.
A look of tension was evident on her face as she looked at the man.
‘He is strong.’
A lightning field that is rare even in the magic world.
Among them, he is a high-level awakened person.
Among all magical systems, the destructive power of the lightning field is so great that it can be measured within two fingers.
The problem is that although its destructive power is enormous, it is not easy to control its scope.
Even when activated at the lowest output, it was the lightning and flame skills that devastated the entire area.
Because of this, places where lightning or flame-type skills were used were bound to be devastated.
But now there wasn’t a single scorched spot in the alley.
Only those who attacked the man were turned into charcoal.
The lightning bolt was pulled out just enough to kill a person.
Brielle knew that it was much more difficult than increasing the destructive power.
The man said while looking at the corpses that had turned into charcoal.
“As expected from a slum, there is trash everywhere. “This is why I didn’t want to come here.”
It felt as if dirty filth was entering my body just by breathing in the slums.
The man looked at Brielle.
“In times like this, don’t you usually say thank you for helping?”
“joy! “It was okay if I didn’t help you.”
“Are you saying you are an awakened person too?”
“At least I can protect myself from those trash people.”
“Then I came forward for no reason. “But on the other hand, it was a favor to help me.”
“Well, it helped a little. Because I didn’t get my hands dirty. “Thank you for that!”
“For an elf, you still know manners.”
“Elf? “How did you know?”
Brielle took a step back and was wary of the man.
The only humans who know that she is an elf are Zeon and Levin.
Everyone else knew her as human.
However, the man she saw for the first time knew right away that she was an elf.
Of course, I had no choice but to be cautious.
“How could you not know when it sprays such a unique scent? “Well, there’s a little bit of me mixed in, but it doesn’t change the essence.”
The man’s golden eyes were shining so intensely that they seemed to be piercing through Brielle.
Brielle felt as if she was standing naked in front of his intense eyes.
Brielle said, concentrating mana in both hands.
“who are you?”
“There is no need to be so cautious. Little elf! If that was your goal, you would already be dead.”
“Who are you?”
“My name is Lee Ji-ryeong.”
“Lee Ji-ryeong?”
“Where is Xeon?”
A man, Lee Ji-ryeong, approached Brielle.
Brielle stepped back with a fearful expression.
At that moment, a calm voice came from behind me.
“Here it is.”
