Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 128

Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 128

Episode 128

Mandy looked at Brielle with a slightly embarrassed expression.

This was because I was not happy with the girl in the cone hat who followed me out of nowhere.

It was nothing else but finding the den of scavengers.

It was a dangerous job that even Mandy could not be sure of its safety.

I couldn’t understand Zeon taking a young girl to such a dangerous task.

It was natural for Mandy, who did not know Brielle’s identity, to worry. But she soon put her worries out of her mind.

This is because I thought there would be no great danger as long as Zeon went with me.

Zeon was walking without hesitation.

Mandy looked puzzled at the sight of Zeon walking ahead of her even though she didn’t say any clues.

“And where are we going now?”

“To get information.”

“yes?”

“To find the Scavengers’ lair, we need to gather information about them.”

“Where are you going to get the information?”

“there is. A place like that…”

Zeon answered without tension.

The place he was heading to was the restaurant street where old Clexi had a street vendor.

The butcher shop at the entrance to the restaurant street was Zeon’s destination.

“welcome. Zeon!”

Butcher Will greeted Zeon politely.

Mandy looked slightly intimidated at the sight of Will’s bloody appearance.

Unlike Elroy, who had a tough personality, Mandy’s personality was quite timid. That’s why I felt intimidated just by looking at Will’s appearance.

Brielle, on the other hand, was different.

“hi! “Will.”

“Long time no see. Lady Brielle!”

“What about Old Man Clexi?”

“You are now at the goblin market.”

“Because of that explosion?”

“yes!”

“Ehyo! “What kind of mess is this?”

“That’s right.”

Will smiled slightly as he answered.

Because Brielle was cute.

Brielle, who always walks unsteadily while wearing a cone hat, has suddenly become like a mascot on this street.

Will asked Zeon with a smile as if he had never done that before.

“What happened this time?”

“I came because of the scavengers.”

“ah!”

“Do you know anything about the Scavengers’ lair?”

“There has been no information about him yet.”

“Then what about the abnormal trend?”

“wait a minute.”

After Will asked for understanding, he went inside the butcher shop.

Will appeared a moment later, holding several pieces of paper in his hands.

He said, handing the paper over to Xeon.

“We have cleared out the main haunting areas of scavengers.”

“is it so?”

Zeon read the report with shining eyes.

After a while, he closed the report.

“The areas where scavengers appear are diverse.”

“yes! “They are appearing not only in Neo Seoul but also throughout the slums.”

“But there is only one place where scavengers are not active.”

“you’re right. Dong Dae Moon. “Only there are no reported movements of scavengers.”

“Is it because of fanatics?”

“We don’t know until then.”

“But we might need to look into it.”

“I am only providing information, and the judgment is up to you, Zeon.”

“Thank you. “Thank you for providing such good information.”

“Not much to say…”

Will smiled.

Zeon handed him the report again.

Mandy, who was nearby, whispered.

“Is it so strange that scavengers are not seen only in Dongdaemun? Originally, it was difficult to do anything noticeable in that neighborhood because of the fanatics.”

“That may be true, but it is definitely strange that not a single activity like this has been captured.”

“hmm!”

“People unconsciously try to avoid causing problems in their own areas. The same goes for scavengers. “They will be conscious of people’s attention and will try to plunder from as far away from their base as possible.”

If there are one or two active scavengers, Zeon’s assumption becomes meaningless. However, if there were more than a dozen people active and they were not detected only in Dongdaemun, it was enough to be suspicious.

Mandy frowned without realizing it.

Dongdaemun was a place that even she, an awakened person, was reluctant to approach.

Her honest feelings were that she did not want to enter Dongdaemun. However, I couldn’t help but say that it was strange to characterize Zeon like this.

It was then.

“Are you scared?”

Brielle, who had been quiet until now, suddenly asked.

“Are you scared?”

“no way! “I think you’re scared?”

“Why am I scared? “But why are you speaking informally?”

Mandy glared at Brielle.

Instead of being scared, Brielle burst into laughter.

“You’re right, you’re scared.”

“hey!”

“Half-elf, people who are scared usually raise their voices.”

“you?”

For a moment, Mandy’s eyes fluttered.

The fact that she was a half-elf was a secret.

There was no way to find out unless the person called Elroy appeared.

Except for Zeon, no one noticed that fact right away.

“How did you know?”

“How could you not know? “It smells so strong.”

Elves have a unique smell.

However, it can only be handled by fellow elves. It was not something an ordinary human being could smell or distinguish.

“You too… are an elf.”

“He’s an elf, but he doesn’t have human blood mixed in.”

In an instant, Mandy’s impression changed completely.

Brielle’s words touched her disgust.

“What are you?”

All of a sudden, Eloi’s personality came out.

Elroy was different from Mandy.

It was the same face, but the fierce eyes and energy radiating were overwhelming.

It was so terrifying that most awakened people would tremble just by looking at her eyes. However, when Brielle faced her directly, there was no sign of shrinking on her face.

Brielle lifted her conical hat and smiled.

“My name is Brielle. As you can see, I’m a drug addict who can’t live even a day without medicine.”

Brielle put a pill into her mouth.

People need medication because they cannot completely escape from the aftereffects of drugs.

At least a lot of it has been neutralized, so it’s like this. Not long ago, I ate the medicine like candy.

“A weak pureblood elf. “It’s fun!”

“I didn’t know I would become a druggie too.”

“Life doesn’t always go as planned.”

“It’s life. It’s a half elf. I have a human way of thinking. “So are you afraid?”

“This little guy is afraid of someone. “I’m not scared at all.”

“Then why are you hesitating?”

“Fuck! Who hesitates? “I’m going.”

“Then that’s it.”

Brielle chuckled.

Elroy realized that he had completely fallen for Brielle’s provocation. But now I couldn’t change my decision.

“Shit! But where are you from? North district?”

“North district?”

“Weren’t you under the Ice Queen?”

“What are you talking about? “Who is the Ice Queen?”

“I don’t know?”

“….”

“You’re not from Neo Seoul.”

“….”

Brielle pursed her lips. So, I actually gave Eloy confidence.

“An elf from outside. “Where did you come from?”

“Your voice is so loud. “Oh, my ears hurt.”

Brielle walked over, picking her ears with her little finger.

Elroy asked, following Brielle.

“hey! “Where are you from?”

“Are there mosquitoes? “Why are you buzzing like this?”

“Did you eat the stuffed rice? This young elf bitch…”

“What? Half…”

“Half? “You bastard.”

“I’m spitting, so can you please stay far away?”

“hey!”

“why?”

“A small thing is really the answer.”

“Don’t you have a mouth to answer?”

“This is real!”

Zeon shook his head as the two women’s argument became increasingly childish.

The two elves continued to slander and attack each other as if they were not tired.

Zeon felt his head getting dizzy.

I was already worried about whether I should continue with this combination.

‘Anyway, this is my first time visiting Dongdaemun.’

Dongdaemun does not have any special walls or gateways. As you walk along the road leading east from Sinchon, you will find yourself in Dongdaemun at some point.

The biggest difference between Dongdaemun and Sinchon was the atmosphere of the buildings and people.

There was a large church in the center of Dongdaemun, and other nearby buildings were also influenced by the church and showed a similar style.

What was most impressive was the people’s clothing.

Most of them were ordinary people like Sinchon. However, there were many people who were conspicuously wearing investigative uniforms or heavy armor with crosses on them.

They were all fanatics who followed John.

Murderous weapons that are ready to fight at any time, risking death, at the command of John.

As soon as he entered Dongdaemun, Elroy frowned without realizing it.

This was because the air, which was significantly different from Sinchon, weighed on her in an unpleasant mood.

Zeon said.

“Frown up.”

“What should I do if this happens without my knowledge?”

“If you can’t do it, send Mandy out instead.”

“It’s dirty…”

Elroy grumbled.

Soon her eyes became gentler and her expression became softer.

As Jeon said, Mandy came out.

Not everyone in Dongdaemun is a fanatic or an awakened person.

Most of them were ordinary people.

I had to blend in naturally with them.

Any noticeable behavior or atmosphere was difficult.

A beautiful woman with an extreme personality like Elroy is easier to spot. Working as Mandy attracted less attention from people.

Zeon walked among the people calmly.

The appearance was so natural that I did not feel any discomfort.

It was the same with Brielle.

I wasn’t the type of person to feel intimidated just because the district changed.

She calmly followed Zeon and looked around.

“ha!”

Mandy sighed and followed after them.

So the three of them wandered around Dongdaemun as if they were taking a walk.

Dongdaemun was much cleaner and well-organized than Sinchon.

Thanks to that, it wasn’t that difficult to find or memorize the route.

Mandy said wearily.

“On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be anything strange. “I don’t think we’ll be able to find an answer like this.”

“I don’t think I’ll find out anything by walking around like this.”

Brielle also agreed with her opinion.

It was the first time the two people agreed.

Zeon nodded.

I couldn’t get the information I wanted by simply walking around the streets like this.

To get proper information, you had to contact people and ask questions, but it was clear that if you did that, the news would soon reach John’s ears.

It’s not that I was afraid of Yohan, but I wanted to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Xeon said to Mandy.

“I’ll leave for today. “I think it would be better to get ready and come back tomorrow.”

“I’d better do that.”

Mandy agreed with Zeon.

That was when the three people were about to go back.

“Stand there for a moment.”

An unfamiliar voice caught them.

A man wearing armor with a cross on his chest was staring at them.

He was an awakening person in Dongdaemun.

He approached the three people.

“It’s a face I haven’t seen before. Is it from another district?”

“Is that so?”

“What district are you from?”

“I’m from Sinchon.”

“What are the beggars from Sinchon doing to Dongdaemun?”

“I just came here while walking.”

“Are you saying there is no special purpose?”

“Is that so?”

The Dongdaemun Awakening frowned, as if he did not like Zeon’s answer.

Suddenly his eyes fell on Mandy.

His eyes changed when he looked at Mandy’s face.

“It seems suspicious. You should come with me.”
