Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 306

Episode 306

Brielle’s face was expressionless, just like when she first met Zeon.

Her face was so devoid of emotion that Zeon let out a sigh.

The person Brielle was looking at was a man from the Hotsim mercenary unit.

A man who was terribly destroyed by Zeon and eventually died.

The face of the man with his tongue sticking out and his neck broken was filled with the fear he had felt all his life.

Brielle watched as Zeon extracted all the information he could from the man and then killed him.

A normal child would have been frightened by the sight of Zeon, but Brielle was not ordinary and had been through many hardships, so she was very accustomed to such scenes.

Also, as a high elf, her mind was several times stronger than that of children her age. That was why she was able to remain unharmed in the face of the tragedy that Zeon had caused.

No, she wasn’t fine right now.

I was more angry than ever.

The men killed by Zeon were the human hunters who had kidnapped her.

Not only Brielle, but countless other children lost their parents to them, were kidnapped, and sold to far and wide.

At least Brielle’s situation was better.

Because there was no physical abuse other than making drugs.

He was an alchemist who could create high-purity drugs, so he treated them with great care.

Other children were not as lucky as her.

There were many children who were sold to a mad wizard to become test subjects, sold as gladiator slaves, or thrown as food by tamers trying to tame demonic beasts.

All the other children who were sold like that lived miserable lives and ended their lives.

I didn’t know how many children were taken away by the Hotsim mercenary force.

There were many elves among them.

The funny thing is that the man didn’t recognize Brielle until he died.

Because there were so many cases like Brielle.

To them, Brielle was not a special elf, but just one of many slaves.

The fact that she had no memory of how she had so horribly ruined someone else’s life made her furious.

Brielle’s shoulders were still shaking, as if her anger had not yet subsided.

At that moment, Gaia peeked her face out of the subspace.

I watched the whole situation from inside the subspace, and when I saw Brielle’s expression looking serious, I cautiously came out.

-Beep!

If Gaai hadn’t comforted him at that moment, it would have taken a long time for him to recover from his anger.

Brielle whispered, hugging Gaia tightly.

“Oh, okay! It’s okay. Thanks, Gaia! Get into the subspace quickly before anyone else sees.”

-beep?

“Yeah! Really. So please watch from inside. I don’t want to keep you in this dirty place even for a moment.”

-Beep!

Gaia re-entered Zeon’s subspace with a regretful expression.

For Gaia, a spirit life form, the environment in the sewer was unbearable.

If he had grown even half as much as his mother, Moby Dick, then that would be fine, but now was the time when he had to come into contact with and absorb only pure energy.

“Hoo!”

Brielle took a deep breath. Then, as if nothing had happened, her face returned to its usual state.

She asked Zeon.

“What are we going to do now?”

“We have to keep tracking it.”

“I thought so.”

Brielle clenched her tiny fists.

Before he died, the man confessed that the Helbrin mercenaries had made a contract with Eli. However, he did not know why Eli had tried to save a hundred slaves.

Everything was still shrouded in mystery.

To find out Eli’s true intentions, the only way was to capture Hatsim, the leader of the Helbrin mercenary force.

“Before that… … .”

Zeon turned his head and looked at the boy standing on one side.

It was Jetoya who was being chased by the Helbrin mercenaries.

Jetoya was looking at Zeon with a face full of fear.

Zeon killed the men who had annihilated the Red Horn Crocodile Crew in an instant as if they were swatting flies.

It was an incredible fighting ability that Jetoya had never seen before.

I was so surprised that I didn’t even notice Gaia emerging from Zeon’s subspace.

“iced coffee!”

Jetoya, who couldn’t find anything to say, kept opening his mouth.

Zeon and Brielle were the first outsiders Zetoya came into contact with.

Jetoya was born and raised here.

To such a Jetoya, the outside world was an object of both longing and fear.

He always wanted to get out of this shabby place and go outside, but his body was optimized for the dark underground.

Like a real crocodile, it cannot survive without a certain level of moisture.

I’ve tried to go out several times already, but I’ve only come back in excruciating pain.

That’s when I realized.

That he was destined to never be able to escape this place.

It wasn’t just Jetoya.

Most of the children born here were in similar circumstances.

The other kids didn’t even dare to go outside.

If I awaken and gain special abilities, that’s fine, but until then, I’m destined to end my life here.

To such a Jetoya, Zeon, who came from outside, was an extremely scary being.

Even more so than the Helbrin mercenaries who killed the entire Red Horn Crocodile Crew.

Zeon asked Jetoya.

“What is your name?”

“My… … Toyayo.”

“Jetoya?”

“yes!”

“Good name. I am Zeon. This is Brielle.”

“Zeon, Briel!”

Jetoya absentmindedly repeated the names of the two people.

“As you can see, we came from the surface. We are chasing them. That is why we would like your help.”

“How?”

“Take me to where they are.”

“I’ll show you around. But, Joe, I have a condition.”

“Conditions? I don’t think you’re in a position to set conditions.”

Zeon looked at Zetoya with an interested expression.

What caught my interest was the bold appearance of Jetoya, who was trembling with fear but still made a condition.

“I, I know that too. I’m not in a position to make conditions.”

“Why, if you knew?”

“Because I’m desperate.”

“What do you mean by urgent?”

“We need electricity.”

“electricity?”

“We need electricity to purify this polluted underground even a little bit. So, please get us a magic generator.”

Zeon looked blank for a moment at Zetoya’s unexpected words.

He knew that Jetoya would ask him to take her outside.

Because I thought that for those who, like Jetoya, have lived their entire lives in darkness, a place to live on earth is more important than anything else.

Zeon asked again.

“You need a magic generator?”

“Yes! Even something small is fine. Please get me a magic generator. Then, I’ll do anything.”

Jetoya knelt down on the floor.

Zeon frowned.

Because old memories came back to me.

Not long after he returned to Neo Seoul, the magic generator he had purchased at the goblin market was stolen.

‘They were crocodiles too. I think the leader’s name was Croker?’

They all lost their lives at the hands of Zeon.

At that time, they also said that they were in dire need of a magic power generator.

I didn’t pay attention at the time, but hearing it again from the mouth of such a young boy made me feel strange.

Zeon said, gathering his thoughts.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t get the magic generator either. It’s no longer available at the Goblin Market.”

“that…….”

At Zeon’s cold words, Zetoya looked as if she was about to cry.

It was a sad sight, but I couldn’t give him false hope that he could do something he couldn’t do.

That was when.

“I can make it.”

Brielle joined the conversation between the two.

Zeon looked at Brielle in surprise.

“what?”

“I can make it.”

“How? You don’t even know the structure?”

“know!”

“You, by any chance… …did you open the thing that was at home?”

“sorry!”

Brielle’s face turned red and she bowed deeply.

When Xeon was away, she secretly disassembled the magic generator equipped with the ‘Watching Eye’.

Because of that, Zeon’s house was temporarily left defenseless.

If the enemy had invaded at that time, Brielle would have been dead.

Fortunately, nothing happened, but even now, when I think about that time, a cold sweat breaks out on my back.

After she had a perfect understanding of the structure of the magic generator, she reassembled it.

Fortunately, the power generator was functioning properly.

It was Brielle’s secret that Xeon didn’t know about. Well, now Xeon knows too.

“Anyway, you can make it, right?”

“Yeah! I can make it if I just get the ingredients.”

“What materials do you need?”

“It might cost a bit of money, but you can get plenty of them at the Goblin Market.”

“Okay then.”

Zeon nodded and looked at Zetoya.

“That’s right.”

“Can you really make a magic generator?”

Jetoya looked at Brielle with an expression of disbelief.

Brielle said with a stern expression.

“I can make it. I can’t get you the magic stone though.”

“I can handle that.”

“I see there is a way to obtain the magic stone. Anyway, my answer is ‘it is possible.’ In return, you have to help us, right?”

“I’ll help you. I’ll help you with anything.”

“Then guide us to where they are.”

“however…….”

“You’re not saying you can’t do it now, are you?”

“No, it’s just that there are too many of them… … Are you okay?”

“That’s nothing for you to worry about. Even if all of them come at you, they won’t be able to fight against Zeon. You saw how strong Zeon is.”

“Hmm!”

“If you’re scared, don’t do it. We can find them without you. But you won’t get the magic generator.”

Jetoyah was startled by Brielle’s cold words and answered.

“No! I will. I will guide you.”

“There’s no time. Please hurry up and show me.”

“huh!”

Jetoya took the lead.

Zeon and Brielle followed him and talked.

“How did you get the idea to dismantle the magic generator?”

“Because I was curious.”

“You are amazing too.”

“I can’t help it. It’s my nature.”

“Have you figured out the structure perfectly?”

“Yeah! A protective magic circle was placed to prevent anyone from seeing the internal structure, but it’s useless against this body. Hehe!”

Brielle chuckled.

The magic generator was a culmination of Neo Seoul’s magic engineering.

For that reason, we have also thoroughly protected the technology from leaking to the outside.

Each module is engraved with a protective magic circle, so that it will automatically explode if opened carelessly.

However, even such a protective magic circle was useless against Brielle’s outstanding magical alchemy.

Brielle released all the protective magic circles like a cicada shedding its skin, and acquired the technological prowess that Neo Seoul had accumulated over a hundred years.

Zeon said.

“Never let anyone know that you can create a magic generator. If Neo Seoul finds out about this, they will definitely try to eliminate you.”

“Okay! I won’t tell anyone else about it.”

“okay!”

Zeon let out a soft sigh.

Having colleagues who are too outstanding can also be a problem.

It was certain that if others found out that Brielle’s abilities were this outstanding, they would become greedy.

‘Even if I want to stay still, work just doesn’t stop.’

It seemed like this was also his karma.

It seemed like the world would not leave him alone because he had such great power.

‘I can’t help it.’

As Brielle said, we have no choice but to follow where fate leads us.

Just like right now.

Jetoya was leading him down deeper and darker passages.
