Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 166

Episode 166

: Geek!

A large transport vehicle stopped with a loud noise.

Those in the transport vehicle got off and grumbled.

“Fuck! “Again?”

“Shit! What do you do when you get in the car? “It doesn’t last long before it breaks down.”

When the large transport vehicle stopped due to a breakdown, other vehicles also stopped one after another.

Just then, a stocky middle-aged man got out of the vehicle that was following him.

“what? Did it stop again?”

“yes! “It looks like the gears are corroded.”

“Fuck! Sand like a dog. Even if you use magic, it will break. “How on earth is this?”

A stocky middle-aged man spat on the floor and swore. In some ways, it seemed comical.

Its height barely reached the chest of an adult man, but its shoulders were much wider than those of an adult man, making it reminiscent of a gorilla.

Still, the reason people didn’t laugh was because he was a dwarf and not an ordinary person.

The dwarf, who was hard to find even in the northern area where different races were gathered, was a stocky middle-aged man.

At that time, Lee Ji-ryeong appeared through the crowd of people.

He spoke to the dwarf.

“Did the car break down again?”

“I think the gear is completely out and needs to be replaced.”

“time is?”

“It’s hard inside today.”

“I can’t help it. “I’m going to rest here today, so in the meantime, you can fix the broken car.”

“Damn it! “I can’t believe I have to work alone when everyone else is resting.”

“If anyone hears it, they will think that you work alone, Zelo A. If you mobilize all the base teams, wouldn’t two hours be enough? “I’ll leave plenty of food and alcohol for the base team, so don’t worry.”

“Tsk! I get it.”

Jello A answered, taking out a tool from his work apron.

It was clearly a tool too big to come out of an apron pocket. The awakened people who participated as mercenaries opened their eyes wide at the sight of a large tool that appeared in defiance of physical laws.

“what? How did you get from the apron….”

“Could it be that subspace was enchanted on the apron?”

As they guessed, Zelo A’s work apron had a subspace enchanted to store tools.

Thanks to this, I was able to carry all the tools needed for work in my apron.

Lee Ji-ryeong gave an order to the Pegasus attack force.

“I’m resting here today. Set your guard and prepare a meal.”

“yes!”

The Pegasus raid team responded and moved in perfect order.

The awakened people in charge of security returned to their positions and served food that had been prepared in advance from a transport vehicle.

The food prepared by the Pegasus raiding party was preserved food that did not require cooking. It is perfectly cooked so that you can eat it by just opening the lid, like a lunch box.

Thanks to this, people were able to sit comfortably and eat.

Zeon and his group also gathered in front of the buggy and ate.

Levin and Mandy talked while eating their lunch box.

“This is pretty delicious. “The dungeon raiders always eat something this delicious.”

“At least since it is a Pegasus attack force, we can prepare to this extent, but it is impossible for a small attack force. “Most people eat tasteless canned food.”

“A can?”

“Because that’s the easiest way to store food.”

“Then does the Pathfinder team that is run by Neo Seoul also eat canned food?”

“Sure. So, once you go out to the desert, you don’t even want to see the shadow of a canned food for a while.”

“I guess so.”

Levin shook his head.

Even this trivial information was important to Levin, who was participating in the raid for the first time.

At that time, Brielle suddenly asked Zeon.

“But is it okay for so many people to gather together?”

“what?”

“If a demon like a sandworm attacks, won’t the damage increase?”

“This is not a terrain that sandworms like because the sand particles are thick and hard.”

“Does the sandworm also care about sand? Or rather, are there different types of sand? “Aren’t they all the same?”

“It all depends on the terrain. In some places the particles are fine and in other places they are coarse. Sandworms like fine-grained sand. “It’s easier to dig into than thick, rough sand.”

“I see.”

Brielle’s eyes lit up.

Acquiring new knowledge always delighted her.

But suddenly her expression became distorted. Even without that, the unfocused eyes were shaking wildly.

“also?”

Brielle quickly searched her purse and took out a medicine bottle. But my hands were shaking and I couldn’t open the lid properly.

“Anyway, kid…”

Mandy smiled bitterly and opened the vial instead.

When I handed over the medicine, Brielle quickly put it in her mouth.

“ha! ha!”

Brielle fell to the floor and let out a heavy breath.

“are you okay?”

Levin smiled bitterly and took care of Brielle.

“Why on earth are you making drugs? “I can’t understand the human race itself.”

At that time, a loud voice intervened.

“Then what about dwarves?”

The owner of the voice was none other than Zelo A.

He was coming closer, holding a beer bottle in his hand.

“Dwarf?”

“Call me Jello A, Supervisor.”

“Has the car been completely fixed?”

“Hehe! “It doesn’t just happen once or twice, it’s not that bad.”

Zelo A sat in front of Zeon, drinking beer.

“You are the famous sand wizard Zeon, right?”

“Do you have business with me?”

“Rather than that, I just came to see your face. This is my first time seeing a class called sand wizard. draft?”

Zelo A suddenly held out a beer bottle to Zeon.

Zeon shook his head slightly and answered.

“I don’t drink.”

“Why don’t you drink this good thing? “It’s a little less flavorful than the one made with real barley, but it’s still pretty similar.”

“You seem to like alcohol quite a bit.”

“Hehe! “Work week is essential for a species like us who work as a business.”

“Maybe so.”

“Anyway, since you aren’t surprised to see me, I guess you’ve seen our species before, right?”

“I’ve seen it a few times.”

“where?”

“It wasn’t around here.”

Zelo A was impressed by Zeon’s ambiguous answer.

“Is it that difficult to tell me where I saw it?”

“Because it’s not a very good memory.”

“It seems you don’t like our kind?”

Jello A’s face hardened.

I knew that there were many people in Neo Seoul who did not like other races such as dwarves and elves, but this was the first time I had seen anyone express their opinion so openly.

“I got stabbed so many times by the dwarves…”

Zeon shrugged his shoulders.

What he said was true.

In fact, all the dwarves I met in the desert were selfish and tried to eat Zeon at any cost.

Because of those memories, Zeon didn’t like dwarves that much.

“Hmm! I apologize on your behalf. Just please understand that the world is very difficult. “They probably had no choice as they were trying to make a living.”

“It’s a world where it’s hard for everyone to make a living. Not only dwarves…”

Zelo A’s face turned red as he couldn’t even get his money back.

“I guess I’m not in the mood to talk today. “We’ll talk again later.”

Zelo A stood up without listening to Zeon’s answer.

It’s like he’s not even able to get his money back.

Zeon didn’t even look at Zelo A.

In the first place, he was not the subject of Zeon’s interest. And as I said before, I don’t believe in the dwarves themselves.

This is because, contrary to his generous appearance, he is narrow-minded and sinister on the inside.

Brielle chuckled.

“It looks like you really hate it.”

＊＊＊

“Ugh! Hehe!”

“Fucking sand.”

Everyone who woke up in the morning took a sand bath.

This is because while they were sleeping, a sandstorm blew and covered their bodies.

If it was just sand, I wouldn’t say anything, but it came in through their respiratory tract and bothered them.

On the other hand, Zeon and the others had nothing like that.

This is because Zeon exercised his control and prevented sand from accumulating on the bodies of the group.

Thanks to this, the three were able to greet the morning comfortably.

“I slept well.”

“This is my first time sleeping so comfortably in the desert.”

They quickly prepared to leave.

There was no time to eat breakfast.

I had to figure it out on my own in the car as it was a simple meal.

As soon as the four people hurriedly got into the buggy, the vehicles started moving. The exodus began again.

Ji-ryeong Lee and Zelo A were riding at the head of the car.

Zelo A, who was on board instead of Kelda, had his face distorted as if he was so dissatisfied.

Lee Ji-ryeong said with a grin.

“It seems like what I did didn’t go well.”

“He’s a cocky bastard.”

“You deserve to be cocky. Because it’s that strong.”

“pup! I was planning on asking them to keep sand out of the car, but I couldn’t get the words out. They just hate our species. They say there is no trust. “Do you think so too?”

“If I had thought that way, I wouldn’t have added you to our raid.”

“Fuck! “If it weren’t for the sand wizard, I would have broken my back.”

“Please be patient. “Because we absolutely need him for this attack.”

“I’m holding back because the captain says so.”

“Hehe!”

Lee Ji-ryeong smiled.

Jello A had a childlike side.

He was so honest about his feelings and his true feelings were revealed in his tone of voice. So it was easy to handle.

He also had that much ability.

Ji-ryeong Lee did not entrust Zelo A with the base team for no reason.

“By the way, did you say the dungeon is about 300 kilometers away from here?”

“that’s right!”

“Isn’t this the first time we’ve conquered a dungeon that far away?”

“that’s right!”

“cadet! I’m nervous. What kind of guy will be waiting this time? “It feels like I’m walking into the maw of a demonic beast.”

“You’ve conquered so many dungeons, but are you still nervous? “That’s not like a dwarf.”

“Well, do you know that dwarves are not afraid? Well, the dwarves in Kurayan say so, but I was born and raised here.”

“Then you probably know very little about Qurayan.”

“yes. My father tells me what his hometown is like, but to me it’s a different country. “Because my hometown is here.”

“It’s the hometown for all of us.”

“Yes! Home to all of us. “But they ostracize me just because I’m a dwarf.”

Zelo A gritted his teeth, as if he was getting angry even thinking about it again.

“Are you sure he’s a sand wizard?”

“Are you sure! “I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Shit! “Why did God give such a precious ability to such a bastard?”

“Were sand wizards rare in Kurayan?”

“If such a being existed, my father would have told me about it. As far as I know, a sand wizard has never appeared in Kurayan.”

Ji-ryeong Lee frowned.

‘All the awakening abilities that appeared on Earth were those that existed in Kurayan. There are no exceptions here.’

It’s not just his guess.

It was a conclusion reached after a long period of research at City Hall.

It was widely believed that the awakening ability that did not exist in Kurayan did not exist on Earth either. However, for the first time, someone who contradicted this orthodoxy appeared.

It was Xeon.

‘Is this a product of coincidence? Or is it an impurity that deviates from the laws of this world?’

At that time, a voice was heard that broke Lee Ji-ryeong out of his thoughts.

“It’s a demonic beast. “A demon appeared in front of me.”

A huge cloud of dust was rising from the direction the caravan was heading.
