Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 389



Only Noblemtl

Episode 389

Brielle’s barrier was successfully installed.

The area around the Crocodile Village was a 500 meter radius of the barrier.

Brielle handed over control of the barrier to Jetoya.

Now, no one can pass through the barrier unless they are permitted by Jetoya.

Thanks to the barrier, Crocodile Village has become safer.

The townspeople were relieved by this.

Because it is safe from the sudden arrival of marauders.

Crocodile Village has now changed beyond recognition.

Numerous houses were built, and the land was amply supplied with goods.

Thanks to the magic stone generator, electricity has become available and various electronic devices can be used.

Thanks to this, smiles never left the townspeople’s faces.

In particular, the laughter of children has increased.

Children born in the crocodile den were naturally dark-skinned.

It was probably because the environment itself was so poor that there was nothing to laugh about. However, the children who moved here were different.

For the first time, I ate my fill and enjoyed the benefits of civilization.

The hope that they can live a better life than now and the anticipation that they can prepare for the future made the children positive.

Children ran and laughed through the alleys between the newly built houses.

When they heard the children’s laughter, the adults also worked harder.

Those who were not awakened built houses or voluntarily participated in village affairs.

While they worked for the village, the Awakened expanded their search area, killing raiders and rescuing the suffering.

Among those who entered the village, those in poor condition were treated by Remura.

Those suffering from diseases specific to crocodile dens were cured immediately after receiving Remura’s treatment.

Those who were cured in this way became ardent followers of Remura and Jetoya.

Now, the crocodile village ran on its own without Zeon having to pay any special attention to it.

Zeon stayed in the Crocodile Village for a few more days before returning home with Levin and Briel.

After returning home, Brielle stayed in her room and did not come out.

Continuing to make something felt like preparing a gift to take back to my hometown.

Even Jeon didn’t know what she was preparing.

It was almost a week later that Brielle came out of her room.

When Brielle reappeared, she was so haggard that she was unrecognizable. That was how much effort she had put into it.

Brielle was wearing a hooded hat and a robe made from the skin of a sand eagle.

Zeon had a feeling that today was the day Brielle would leave for the high elf village.

“Are you going?”

“Yeah! I think today will be a good day.”

“Would you like to go with me?”

“No! I have to go alone. That’s the law of the village. They will never tolerate an outsider coming with you.”

Brielle shook her head.

Levin, who was nearby, asked in surprise.

“What? So you’re saying you’re going to cross the desert alone?”

“uh!”

“It’s too dangerous. How about I follow you? If I turn into a ghost and follow you, no one will know.”

“Thank you for your offer, but I have to decline.”

“Brielle!”

“I have to go alone.”

“I heard it’s a very far place? You’ll probably meet demons along the way, so how can you go alone?”

Brielle was a B-class Awakened, but as she was an alchemist, her offensive magic wasn’t all that great.

With her skills, she couldn’t even deal with intermediate level demons.

There was a spirit named Lily, but she was still low-level and wasn’t of much help.

Brielle smiled at Levin’s concern.

“What are you worried about when you have Gaia?”

“ah!”

“Just ask Gaia to give you a lift to the village. So don’t worry about it.”

“That’s how it is. If it’s Gaia, I can trust it.”

“Then did you think I was going alone without any preparation?”

“Sorry! I haven’t seen Gaia in a while, so I didn’t think about it.”

“fool!”

Levin couldn’t find words to say to Brielle’s persecution and just scratched his head.

Zeon said to Brielle.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you outside of Neo Seoul.”

“huh!”

Brielle nodded with a stern expression.

Since meeting Zeon, she has never once walked the desert alone.

Zeon and Levin were always together.

Thanks to them, I was able to remain calm and not be afraid in any crisis. But now, leaving them behind and going back to the high elf village alone, I was suddenly terrified.

But there was nothing I could do.

Brielle already had a lot of human scent on her.

High elves never accept their own kind who have tainted the human world, even if they are their own blood relatives.

Even if she safely returns to the high elf village, many difficulties await her.

She had no idea how long it would take to get through the ordeal.

The three walked out of the slums shoulder to shoulder.

As they walked through the desert, Brielle said nothing.

He walked with his mouth shut and his eyes fixed on the ground, as if he had a lot to think about.

Levin also fell silent.

We walked like that for a long time.

Briel stopped as Neo Seoul became too far away to be seen.

“I think this is enough. I’ll ride Gaia and go alone. Call me!”

“okay!”

Zeon called out to Gaia in his heart with an answer.

Because their psyches were connected, just thinking about it sent my message to Gaia.

After a while, Gaia appeared through the clouds.

Gaia fell to the ground in an instant.

“Gaia!”

-Beep!

Brielle opened her arms wide and hugged Gaia.

“It’s gotten bigger now. It’s so cool.”

-beep!

“What’s wrong? That’s right! I’m going to go to my hometown. Would you like a ride?”

-Beep! Beep!

“Thank you, Gaia.”

After exchanging greetings with Gaia, Brielle turned around and looked at Zeon and Levin.

“Then I’ll be back.”

“Okay! Have a nice trip.”

“Cheer up, kid!”

Zeon and Levin answered with smiles.

Brielle, who had been watching them for a while, climbed onto Gaia’s back.

Finally she said.

“Please don’t clean my room, it might take a long time.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll leave it as is.”

“Okay! Then I’ll be back.”

As Brielle waved to Zeon and Levin, Gaia wagged her tail and flew into the sky.

Gaia circled above Zeon and Levin’s heads for a moment, then quickly flew away at a terrifying speed.

Levin stared blankly at the sight and muttered.

“I’m going.”

“I know!”

“Tch! You damn brat.”

“Are you upset?”

“It’s a shame. It’s refreshing and good, though!”

“Really? The face is different?”

“What’s wrong with my face? Look. I’m smiling.”

Levin forced a smile.

The sight was so funny that Jeon also chuckled.

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll come back safely.”

“Who cares?”

“therefore.”

“I told you not to worry.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

“Ah, bro!”

“Yeah, I know.”

“really…….”

＊＊＊

Even if you don’t know where you are, you can tell where you are, and that was the case with Jeon’s house.

Even though only Brielle was absent, it felt as if the whole house was empty.

Levin also felt even more lonely when he went out to see his friends.

Zeon sat down on the sofa with a smirk.

“It seems like you’ve grown quite attached to me. I’ve only seen you for a few hours, but it’s so disappointing to see you like this.”

The first time the two were linked was because of the elven oath.

Because of Brielle, who had made a bold oath to live, we suddenly ended up living in the same house.

Although the beginning was absurd, as the three of them spent time with Levin, their bond deepened.

Although we are not related by blood, we have become like real family.

Zeon found the change strange.

Although she didn’t tell Zeon or Levin, it was clear that Brielle would face no small amount of humiliation and trials in the high elf village.

Xeon could not tell whether she would be accepted as a member of the high elf village again or whether she would be miserably cast out.

Perhaps he refused to accompany Zeon and Levin because he did not want to show that kind of appearance.

Anyway, the choice was Brielle’s, and she had to face the consequences.

Zeon respected Brielle’s choice. And he trusted her.

No matter what the outcome, I’ll come back here again.

After looking around the empty house for a moment, Zeon came out.

The place he headed to was none other than Clexi’s street vendor.

Clexi’s inspiration greeted Zeon with yellow teeth.

“What are you doing at this hour?”

“I came because I was hungry.”

“You seem lonely coming alone without the little one.”

“Well, there is a reason for that too.”

“Hehehe! That’s just how it is. When you don’t have someone by your side all the time, you’re bound to feel hungry. Just wait a moment. I’ll quickly give you a bowl of noodles.”

“yes!”

Zeon sat on a chair and waited for the food to arrive.

Then someone came and sat down next to Zeon.

“Please give me a bowl too.”

“huh?”

Clexi Inspiration turned his head from cooking and looked at the owner of the voice.

The owner of the voice was a beautiful woman in her early twenties.

She wore a cheongsam that clung tightly to her body, and her long hair was tied up, revealing her white nape, giving off a captivating aura.

The woman spoke, showing her white teeth.

“Can I give you what this person asked for?”

“Well, if you give me money, there’s nothing I can’t give you.”

“Then give it to me too.”

“Okay!”

A look of uneasiness appeared on the face of the inspired Clexi as he answered.

Zeon sensed that he knew the woman’s identity from Clexi’s inspiration’s reaction.

Zeon turned his head and looked at the woman sitting next to him. At that moment, the woman also turned her head and looked at Zeon.

When our eyes met, she smiled and said.

“It’s nice to meet you, Zeon!”

“Do you know me?”

“I can’t help but know. Lord Zeon is the object of interest.”

“That’s unfair. I don’t know you.”

“Are you curious about my name?”

“… … .”

“If you follow me, I can tell you more. How about coming together?”

“I’m sorry. As you can see, I ordered noodles… … .”

The woman’s face hardened at Zeon’s words.

It was because I was pushed aside by things like noodles.
