Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 90
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 90
Episode 90
Several days have passed since Yohan and Kim Jae-kyung visited, but no movement was seen in Dongdaemun.
At first glance, it seemed like Zeon was scared of his power, but Zeon knew that wasn’t the case.
“You seem to be quite a cautious person.”
To put it in a good way, he is cautious, but to put it in a bad way, he has a sinister personality.
I sent Kim Jae-kyung to test it, and it seemed clear that Zeon was tough, so I had to check his liver.
I don’t know how long it would take for him to go completely, but at least it didn’t look like he was going to move any time soon.
“Thanks to you, we’ve gained some time, so we should get ready.”
As Zeon put on his robe, Brielle came running over.
“Where are you going?”
“Goblin Market.”
“I want to go too.”
“you also?”
“huh! “I have something to buy.”
“Do you have money?”
“doesn’t exist!”
Brielle’s expression became glum.
He had very little and was very greedy, so when Zeon went to the goblin market, he followed him stubbornly.
Of course, all the calculations were done by Xeon.
Brielle hysterically raised her head and looked at Zeon.
“Think of it as an investment.”
“invest? to you?”
“huh! “If I create a great product using alchemy, Zeon will also become a big hit.”
“So, have you had any success?”
“It will succeed soon. “We’re almost there.”
Brielle said as if making an excuse.
Brielle’s expression as she looked up at Zeon was very earnest.
Zeon had no choice but to give permission.
“okay. Come with me.”
“thank you!”
Brielle’s expression finally brightened.
She quickly put on her cone hat and came out.
Still, I walked ahead because I had been to the Goblin Market once.
“Hi-Hi! I hope I can get the ghost dragonfly wings this time. ah! What else do you need? Are there any magic stones from sandworms? And…”
Zeon slightly shook his head at Brielle’s frantic voice.
‘How could such a crazy little elf get caught…’
If it had been Deioden, he would have cut down Brielle at once, regardless of the oath or anything.
Because he hated this race more than anyone else.
But Xeon was not Deioden.
I don’t particularly hate this race, but I don’t like it either.
There is no reason to reject them as long as they do not cause direct harm to you.
While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at the Goblin Market.
“and!”
Brielle’s blurry eyes seemed to come back into focus, and she immediately ran to the store in front of her.
Just because you’ve been here once makes you even better at bargaining.
“The high elves have now become humans.”
Zeon had never seen a high elf either.
However, I have met and fought with regular elves countless times. Because of that, I knew how proud and proud they were.
However, I couldn’t even imagine how proud the elves of a higher rank than them would be.
It was then.
“Zeon!”
Someone called Zeon.
When I turned my head, a merchant at the goblin market was looking at Zeon.
“Is there a problem?”
“The union president told me to bring Mr. Zeon.”
“union president?”
“We call Yoo Se-hee the union leader.”
“ah! okay. I didn’t know. But why her?”
“I don’t know why. However, as soon as he found out that Zeon had entered the goblin market, he told me to bring him here.”
“is it so?”
Zeon followed the merchant even though he had a puzzled expression on his face.
After walking for a while and arriving in front of the office, the merchant spoke carefully.
“I have brought you Zeon.”
“Come on.”
Yoo Se-hee greeted Jeon in the office.
However, Jeon’s eyes were not fixed on Yoo Se-hee but on the man standing next to her.
A suit that fits his tall body perfectly, a tie that tightens the neck, and a white dress shirt. There he was, with his hair neatly slicked back.
‘You’re from Neo Seoul.’
It was an outfit you would never find in a slum.
Clothes like that are of no help in blocking the desert sandstorm. The people of Neo Seoul, where only high walls and magic block sandstorms, wear clothes like that.
The man smiled and greeted me.
“My name is Tajik. As you may have guessed, I’m from Neo Seoul.”
“This is Xeon.”
“Nice to meet you. Xeon!”
“I am also pleased to meet you.”
Zeon also smiled and greeted me. But his eyes were deeply sunken.
‘If there are different people in an unsuitable place, problems are bound to arise.’
Over the past seven years, I have been through countless situations. Among them, there were many situations like this.
Because Zeon grew through such experiences, he was able to hide his true feelings with a smile.
Yoo Se-hee asked with a nervous expression.
“How are you?”
“As you can see. “But what did you call me for?”
“I have a favor to ask you…”
“Yes?”
“Do you have time now?”
“what do you mean?”
“Please enter just one dungeon.”
Yoo Se-hee spoke from the main point without any prior explanation.
Zeon frowned.
This is because this appearance did not suit the usual Yoo Se-hee.
“Dungeon?”
“okay! Dungeon. It will be a good opportunity for you too. If you do well, you might be able to get an item.”
“It’s an item…”
“Yes! how is it?”
“….”
When Zeon did not easily respond despite Yoo Se-hee’s expectant gaze, Tajik, who had been quiet until now, stepped forward.
“ah! Let me explain for you. “Three days ago, an unidentified dungeon was discovered twenty kilometers away from Neo Seoul.”
“Unidentified dungeon?”
“yes! However, because there are not enough people to explore, Sehee is asking for help from Jeon.”
“Is there ever going to be a shortage of awakened people? “Neo Seoul must be full of awakened people.”
“That’s true, but dungeons were discovered in other places around the same time. It’s also a very large dungeon…”
“Of course, the awakened people of Neo Seoul will be flocking to the large dungeon.”
“you’re right.”
The larger the dungeon, the more likely it was that the value of the items that could be obtained would be higher. Therefore, the Neo Seoul awakeners were concentrating on conquering the large dungeon.
In addition, for various reasons, it was difficult for Neo Seoul to mobilize many awakened people.
“So, we decided to leave this unconfirmed dungeon to the goblin market.”
“okay. But I think it will be difficult for me to enter the dungeon.”
“Is it because of Dongdaemun?”
“You know my situation well.”
“haha! “It’s not because of Jeon, but because Dongdaemun is the target of attention.”
“Then you understand why I can’t go in, right?”
“What if I mediate?”
“yes?”
“It may not be completely resolved, but Dongdaemun will still show some restraint.”
“Is that even possible?”
“I am a little familiar with John. “Maybe if I ask, you will listen.”
“Incredible. “To be able to exert that kind of influence on Dongdaemun?”
Zeon was purely amazed.
In his judgment, John was not a person who was easily swayed by others. I wasn’t one to listen to what other people said.
The fact that John listened to Tajik’s words meant that Tajik was a burden or great being.
“Will this be enough to make you feel like going in?”
“I’ll ask you too. Xeon!”
Before Jeon could respond, Yoo Se-hee came forward.
For some reason, her expression seemed very urgent.
Having said this, it was difficult to refuse.
“All right. When does the raid team leave?”
“It’s tomorrow morning.”
“All right. “I’ll join you tomorrow morning.”
“Thank you for doing an unreasonable favor! Instead, I will definitely repay this debt.”
“All right.”
Putting a debt on Yoo Se-hee wasn’t a bad thing for Zeon either.
In any case, as long as Jeon lives in Sinchon, he will have no choice but to continue to be involved with the Goblin Market.
The problem was a man named Tajik.
The attitude towards Yoo Se-hee and the influence that can be exerted even on Dongdaemun.
It was clear that Tajik was either a big name or had a big name background.
That meant that Neo Seoul was also starting to take interest in Zeon.
After organizing his thoughts, Zeon stood up.
“Then let’s go out first. “I have a few things to prepare.”
“If you need anything, feel free to buy it. “I told the merchants, so they’ll give you anything.”
“All right.”
Zeon bowed briefly to Tajik and then went out.
When he disappeared, Tajik opened his mouth.
“You are a very calm person.”
“who? Xeon?”
“yes! “You are the most difficult person to read I have ever met.”
“Is it that much?”
Yoo Se-hee looked at Tajik with surprised eyes.
She didn’t know much about Tajik either. But I knew that he was a man trusted by Xiao Lun.
Xiao Lun, the loser of southern Neo Seoul.
The value of the name is by no means light.
Because it meant that he was at least one of the top five powerful people in Neo Seoul.
Tajik was someone that Xiaorun trusted.
He had such great ability and resourcefulness.
If such a person could admit it, Zeon’s value was bound to be greater.
“If I break their spirits a little, maybe I can use them instead of the crocodiles?”
Tajik muttered in a low voice.
“What did you say just now?”
“no. “I was just talking to myself.”
There was a subtle smile on the Tajik’s lips as he answered.
＊＊＊
Jeon stopped for a moment and looked back at Yoo Se-hee’s office.
‘Tajik… I feel rotten.’
Everyone smells different.
There are things you are born with, but your smell changes depending on what kind of life you have led.
A person who bleeds a lot has a bloody scent, and a person who does dirty work has a damp smell.
The fact that I am so rotten means that there is a high probability that I have done a lot of dirty work.
‘There is a high probability that there will be a lot of dirt in this case as well.’
Zeon shook his head.
This is the problem.
The masters of the Earth are not humans.
It may have been so in the past, but it certainly isn’t now.
Except for some areas where humans live, most of the area is controlled by demonic beasts.
Because not only the ground roads but also the sky roads were blocked, communication between each colony was difficult.
In that case, the communication network between each colony must be restored and all forces must be gathered together, but the colony’s leaders have no intention of doing so and are only focused on fighting the battle.
So when will we be able to subdue all the demon beasts and create a world for humans again?
Xeon thought it would be impossible forever.
It was then.
“Where have you been? “You’ve been looking for it for a while.”
Brielle was running towards Zeon.
I didn’t know what I had bought so much, but my luggage was piled up on my back.
“What did you buy so much?”
“The magicite from the ghostly dragonfly wing sandworm and the mane hair of the flame wolf. It is best to hunt ghost dragonfly wings when the queen has just molted. “This is very useful because it is almost unaffected by gravity.”
“You don’t have to explain it in such detail.”
“okay? “There’s still a lot left.”
“How do you calculate it?”
“When I mentioned Zeon’s name, they gave it to me on credit.”
Zeon’s brows furrowed miserably at Brielle’s naturally virtuous answer.
This high elf was immersed in the human world at a faster rate than expected.
Finally, Zeon said something.
“Next time, you buy it with your own money.”
