Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 387



Only Noblemtl

Episode 387

The reinforced sand soldier was strong.

In the past, it would have already been destroyed and had to be re-summoned. However, even after killing countless red locusts, not a single one was destroyed.

The red locust’s teeth, which could gnaw through the hard flesh of a demon, did not penetrate the body of a sand soldier made of rock at all.

On the other hand, the Sand Soldier’s attacks were properly weighted.

As his entire body turned into rock, his weight increased, and his destructive power increased accordingly.

Boohoo!

As evidence, the solid red locust’s body burst like a balloon with one punch from the Sand Soldier.

“Good!”

Zeon nodded and smiled.

An increase in power always feels good.

The Sand Soldier’s strengthening meant that Xeon’s power had increased accordingly.

bang!

-Keeee!

The last red locust to resist died with a creepy scream.

The Sand Soldiers stopped after killing all the red locusts.

The Sand Soldiers stand like stone statues, waiting for Zeon’s next command.

“Summoned!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sand Soldiers returned to the sand. Then, Gaia wagged her tail and approached Zeon.

-Beep!

“Stronger? That’s right! The Sand Soldiers have become stronger thanks to absorbing the core of the Rock Crocodile.”

-beep!

“Yeah! It’ll be a big help in the future.”

-Beep! Beep!

“Okay! Let’s go back now.”

Zeon climbed onto Gaia’s back.

Gaia’s large body seemed to rise into the air lightly like a balloon, then suddenly gained acceleration.

Shoooo!

Gaia flew across the sky like a meteor.

Flying at this speed, it was nearly impossible to stand upright due to the strong headwind. However, Zeon, who was on Gaia’s back, was not affected by the wind at all.

It was as if an invisible curtain had been spread out to block the wind.

This was also one of Gaia’s powers.

Thanks to this, Zeon was able to stand comfortably as if he were riding in a car and enjoy the scenery.

The sun was rising in the distance.

The red sun that shows off its presence by dyeing the whole world red.

“That’s cool!”

It was a sight too good to be enjoyed alone.

I felt sorry for appreciating this scenery alone. However, I had no reason to turn away from the scenery that was in front of me.

-Beep!

Gaia also burst into long tears, feeling good.

Bam!

From afar, I could see the demons running away in panic after discovering Gaia.

Even the Wyverns, known as the Tyrants of the Sky, discovered Gaia and avoided her.

-Beep!

Gaia let out another long cry.

Zeon said with a smirk.

“Yeah! You’re great.”

While we were laughing and chatting with Gaia, we soon reached the Neo Seoul sky.

Neo Seoul looked like the size of a palm.

Zeon said, rubbing Gaia’s head with his palm.

“Thanks for the ride! I’ll go down alone.”

-Beep!

“Okay! Have fun. I’ll call you again if I need you.”

Zeon kicked Gaia away and flew into the air.

Xeon falling at a terrifying speed.

But about a hundred meters above the ground, a sandstorm rose and gently embraced his body.

Thanks to this, Zeon was able to land without any impact.

Zeon, who got off two kilometers away from Neo Seoul, walked calmly as if nothing had happened.

It was still early in the morning, but I could already see people building sand houses.

The image of mixing hardener into sand to make bricks now looks quite familiar.

People were so focused on their work that they didn’t even notice Xeon.

Thanks to this, Jeondo was able to return to the slums without attracting people’s attention.

Zeon returned to the slums and went straight home.

“Come in!”

“Brother Jeon!”

Brielle and Lemura welcomed Zeon’s return.

“Where have you been?”

“I have something to try… … .”

“So, were there any results?”

“huh!”

“That’s great!”

Brielle smiled.

Zeon’s gaze turned to Remura.

In just one day, Remura’s attire had changed quite a bit.

Because Brielle dressed her in her own clothes.

Perhaps because she had been well rested in a nice house, eaten a lot of delicious food, and dressed up nicely, Remura’s beauty was coming to life.

Remura said to Zeon.

“Oh, by the way, I’m planning to go down to the crocodile den today.”

“Already? Not staying any longer?”

“I have to help Jetoya. I’m worried about other people too… … .”

The crocodile den is always full of sick people.

It’s because the environment is not very good.

People who have awakened like Remura do not suffer from chronic illness, but the elderly live with chronic illness.

Because he was worried about them, Remura couldn’t leave for long.

Zeon said to her.

“I’ll take you there.”

“thank you.”

“I want to go too. I have something to give to Jetoya.”

Brielle also volunteered to go.

Eventually, Zeon left the house with the two people.

＊＊＊

Squeak!

A car stopped in front of the city hall.

The appearance of a luxury vehicle that is hard to see easily caught the attention of people in front of the city hall.

The car door opened and a small, old man wearing a hat got out.

In that moment, the expressions on the faces of the Awakened who were guarding the viewing room changed completely.

Because I realized the old man’s identity.

‘Xiaolun?’

‘Why that old bastard?’

It had been ten years since Xiaolun had visited the city hall.

The sudden visit of Xiaolun, who had not set foot in the building for ten years, was enough to turn the city hall upside down.

The captain of the city guard rushed over to greet Xiaolun.

“Lord Xiaolun!”

“Long time no see! Your name was Kim… Hyunjin, right?”

“Do you remember my name? The last time I saw you, I was just a security guard.”

“I knew you would become great because you were so bold and confident. That’s why I remembered you. I see you’re the captain of the city hall security guard.”

“you’re right.”

Kim Hyun-jin was surprised by Xiao Lun’s amazing memory.

Xiaolun, who still remembered the brief encounter they had had ten years ago, felt scared.

Kim Hyun-jin asked cautiously.

“But how did you get here? You’re not on the visitor list… … .”

“I came to see the mayor. Tell him I’m here.”

“You came here without even making an appointment?”

“Do I really need to go through the trouble of making an appointment to meet him?”

“That is… … Okay, I understand.”

Kim Hyun-jin tried hard to suppress her true feelings and answered.

The person he could not even dare to look at was Xiao Lun.

Although he was smiling gently now, there was no way to predict when that face would turn into a vicious, evil grimace.

I had to put aside my doubts and report it first. Then the higher-ups would make the decision.

He had his subordinates immediately inform his secretary, Seo Tairan, of Xiaolun’s visit.

After a while, the subordinate came running after hearing Seo Tae-ran’s answer.

“Send it up right away.”

“I get it.”

Kim Hyun-jin, who heard his subordinate’s report, guided Xiao Lun.

“Follow me.”

“Thank you!”

Xiaolun nodded and followed Kim Hyunjin into the viewing room.

“This place hasn’t changed at all since it used to. It’s still so bleak! It’s been ten years, so it’s probably time for something to change. Anyway, I’m telling you, it’s old-fashioned.”

“… … .”

Although Xiaolun’s words were grating on his ears, Kim Hyunjin kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

Finally, I arrived in front of the elevator.

“You can just take the elevator up.”

“Then, thank you for your hard work. You’ve been a bother since morning.”

“No. Then… … .”

Kim Hyun-jin bowed her head in greeting.

Xiaolun smiled and got into the elevator.

The elevator carrying him quickly transported him to Jin Geum-ho’s office at the top of the city hall building.

As the elevator door opened, a familiar face appeared.

“Welcome, Xiaolun!”

The one who greeted Xiao Lun with an indifferent expression was none other than Seo Tai Ran.

Xiao Lun looked Seo Tai Ran up and down with an expression that said he was not satisfied.

“You are still the same.”

“If people change easily, their day of death will not be far away.”

Xiaolun frowned at Seo Tairan’s blunt answer.

It was a sight that others could not dare to imagine.

Because he could not dare to go against the will of Xiao Lun, the ruler of the Southern Region, and still get away with it. However, Seo Tairan did not care at all about Xiao Lun’s power.

Because she also held as much power as Xiao Lun.

Xiaolun said, clicking his tongue.

“Tsk! Yeah, you’ll live a long life.”

“Thank you for the kind words. But why did you come here so early in the morning? Normally, I would never let you in without a prior appointment, but since you’re Xiaolun, I’m giving you special treatment.”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“How would I know?”

“Still sinister.”

“Where else can I go but Xiaolun?”

Seo Tae-ran accepted it without giving a single word.

Xiaolun eventually gave up arguing with her and went to find Jin Jinhu.

The back of Jin Geum-ho was visible, looking out the large window.

Xiao Lun was seething with anger at the way he ignored her even though she clearly knew he was there. However, since she was the one who had come to complain, she tried to suppress her anger and spoke.

“Long time no see.”

“Ah! You’re here? The sunrise is so beautiful that I didn’t even notice you coming.”

Only then did Jin Geum-ho turn around and smile.

Although Xiao Lun looked much older on the outside, in reality, Jin Jin Ho was much older.

Jin Geum-ho approached Xiao Lun with a friendly expression.

“It feels like it’s been ten years since we last saw each other, right?”

“exactly.”

“You’re still the same. It’s nice to see you.”

“Hehehe! You’re all old and wrinkled, what’s so good about looking at you? Still, I appreciate your words.”

“What brings you here so early in the morning? By the way, have you eaten? If not, let’s eat together.”

“I’m done eating.”

“Really? Our city chef’s skills are pretty good… … .”

“I came here because I have something I want to tell you.”

“You’re still so impatient. Tsk!”

“I’m sorry. It may not be a big deal to you, but it’s quite important to me.”

“Okay, tell me what you want to do.”

“I’m talking about the Pathfinder from the Sacheon Colony.”

“How did you know that? You can never keep a secret.”

“I know.”

“what?”

“The market deliberately leaked his presence. If you were really determined to keep it a secret, no one would have noticed his arrival.”

“You have a habit of overestimating me. I’m not that thorough.”

“No way. I’m saying this because I know the market better than anyone else.”

Xiaolun glared at Jin Jinho as if he was going to eat him.

Jin Geum-ho said with a slight smile.

“Well, I appreciate you complimenting me like that. By the way, is that what you want me to do, hand over the friend from Sacheon?”

“He is from my hometown.”

“Oh! So you’re from that area too?”

“Don’t ask like that when you already know everything. It’s a bad habit.”

“Tsk! Your speech has gotten harsher since I last saw you.”

“Give him over.”

Jin Jinho’s smile grew deeper at Xiaolun’s request.

“Then what are you going to offer?”
