Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert Chapter 340

Episode 340

Xeon stopped for a moment and looked around him.

A dark passage without a single light

I could feel sewage splashing up to my ankles…

The place where he was was an underground sewer, a crocodile den.

After finishing the meal, he and Toya came back down to the crocodile den.

The terrible smell stimulated my sense of smell…

Perhaps because he had just eaten delicious food, his smell felt even more unpleasant. However, Zeon’s expression did not change and he continued walking again.

Zetoya was walking next to him.

“The situation has improved a lot since the horsepower generator started working.”

“okay?”

“People came from other places after hearing rumors that there was a magic power generator. Thanks to this, the number of people in the village tripled.”

“With the number of people increasing at once, there must be a shortage of daily necessities.”

“It’s okay because I can get something like that somehow.”

Zetoya smiled, wiping his nose with his finger ·

People often think that there is nothing worth money in a crocodile den. However, if you search through the filth, there are quite a few items that could be worth money.

It is a mixture of items that were not recycled and were taken out of Neo Seoul.

Of course, finding such items was not easy.

This is because even for a person who has lived in a crocodile den all his life, sifting through dirty sewage is not easy.

Fortunately, Jetoya had a very strong stomach and did not hesitate to soak in dirty places.

Thanks to this, he occasionally found the right items and sold them to buy daily necessities for the village.

It was truly an incredible vitality.

The village people believed in Jetoya and followed him.

This was a big reason why the young Jetoya was recognized as the leader of the village.

“That’s amazing…”

“What…”

“If you need my help, tell me anything…”

“yes!”

Jetoya answered obediently…

Zetoya had such a strong ego that she would never say anything weak to others, but Zeon was an exception…

He was not proud or embarrassed even when he said he was weak to an absolutely strong person like Zeon.

Even while walking through the dirty underground sewage system, Zeon didn’t show any displeasure… That made me trust him even more.

“This way…”

Zetoya guided Zeon ahead.

Although it was underground with almost no light, the crossroads hidden in the darkness were clearly visible to his eyes.

Thanks to this, Zeon didn’t have to worry about anything and just followed Zetoya.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at my destination.

“It’s here…”

Zetoya introduced his village.

He had already come once before, so Zeon wasn’t really surprised.

A village was all about living in a large vacant lot and making houses out of mud or something like that.

The only thing that has changed is that there is light now in this place that was pitch dark before.

It was thanks to the horsepower generator…

With the introduction of electricity, we no longer had to shiver from the cold, and life became more convenient.

The village prospered greatly due to people who were exposed to the wonders of culture and people who heard rumors.

“Uh, it’s Jeto…”

“Zetoya is back…”

People welcomed Zetoya’s return

Zetoya looked at the people for a moment and soon noticed that Remura was nowhere to be seen.

“Uh, where is Remura?”

“That’s it…”

For some reason, people hesitated and could not continue speaking…

“Can’t you see Aunt Heather? “What happened to her?”

“They… they left…”

“yes? “What is that?”

Zetoya did not understand for a moment and blinked his eyes · Then one of the villagers explained in detail ·

“While you were on the ground, Heather insisted that Remura should receive special treatment…”

“that····”

“We understand what she says to some extent… Remura is a truly special child…”

“So?”

“I said I would give you the best house in town and special treatment, but that wasn’t enough.”

“Not enough?”

“okay! Her own child is the child chosen by her god, so this village must also be ruled by Remura.”

“oh my god!”

“It makes no sense… We all know who protects and develops this village…”

The center of this village was Jetoya…

The village is maintained because Jetoya prevents external invasions and retrieves various daily necessities from the ground.

The village residents all knew this and thought that Zetoya should rule.

The leader of this group was Jetoya…

No matter how much Remura awakened her special ability, she couldn’t protect this village with just that.

Only someone with strong military power like Jetoya can safely maintain the village. Knowing that fact, the villagers rejected Heather’s words.

“Then she left the village with Remura, saying she didn’t want to be around dirty things even for a moment.”

“Is that true?”

“Everyone tried to stop him, but it was no use… He left without even looking back… How can a person change so coldly in an instant?”

The villagers were greatly embarrassed by Heather’s sudden change in attitude.

Many people told her to wait for Zetoya to return, but it didn’t work for Heather, who was already blinded by desire.

She held the hand of Remura, who did not want to leave the village, and disappeared into the darkness.

“So you sent it like that?”

“Then what do you do? “We did everything we could, but Heather didn’t even listen.”

“ha!”

Zetoya sighed.

I never dreamed that something like this would happen while I was away.

I didn’t have the decency to look at Zeon, who I worked so hard to bring.

“I’m sorry, Zeon!”

“What do you have to be sorry about? “If there is a problem, it must be the desire of a woman named Heather.”

“Remura is still young and not good at making good judgments… I don’t know what impact this will have…”

“That’s right…”

Zeon’s heart wasn’t at peace either.

This is no one else, but the appearance of an A-class healer…

A young girl who is easy to handle…

If she knows how to see the flow of the world even a little, she will never leave Remura alone.

“ha!”

Zetoya sighed softly…

A series of events were too much for the still young Zetoya to handle. She was carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders, but with the addition of Remura’s problems, her shoulders seemed to sag even more.

Zeon looked around her with a slight frown.

I could feel people’s excessive expectations for Jetoya.

It was inevitable…

Currently, the fate of this village depends entirely on Jetoya…

“Zeto!”

“yes?”

“let’s go!”

“Where?”

“You need to become stronger…”

“How?”

“If you follow me, you’ll find out…”

Zeon came to earth with Zetoya.

Since Remura and Heather left the village on their own, there was no reason to stay there.

Instead, Zeon called Levin and Brielle.

“Brother, what’s going on?”

“Say hello, this is Zeto! “I am a resident of the crocodile den.”

“Uh, really?”

Levin was surprised by Zeon’s introduction and looked at Zetoya.

Unlike Brielle, whom she met before, this was Levin’s first time seeing Toya.

“hi! Nice to meet you… I’m Levin…”

“Uh, yes! Nice to meet you·”

“Speak comfortably. You can call me brother.”

“that····”

Zetoya didn’t know what to do with Levin’s friendly words.

“What kind of brother are you? “The kid is embarrassed…”

“Why are you embarrassed? “It’s better if we become friends from the beginning, right!”

Levin remained steadfast despite Brielle’s beatings.

I wasn’t used to that kind of friendliness, but I also didn’t feel bad…

Zeon said to the two people…

“From now on, we will implement the project to become stronger, Jeto.”

“really?”

“that?”

There wasn’t much explanation, but Levin and Brielle clearly understood Zeon’s words.

Because it is something they are already familiar with.

“Levin takes responsibility for making Zetoya stronger… and Brielle helps…”

“Can I have Aaron and Dominic join me too? Because those guys are also weaklings…”

“You can take care of that.”

“okay! It was good…”

Brielle sighed as she watched Levin throw an uppercut.

“Anyway, men… do you think this is a joke? But Zeon won’t join you?”

“It won’t be easy to maintain a sense of crisis if I’m here… You guys should take care of this on your own…”

“Okay, can I take Gaia instead?”

“Do it like that”

“Great!”

Brielle liked the fact that Gaia was going with her.

Because when she goes out to the desert, she can play with Gaia to her heart’s content.

Zeon asked her…

“But Gaia must never be seen by others.”

“Of course… I’m aware of that much…”

“That’s it… Drive out the low-level demons step by step…”

“Don’t worry, I will train you for sure.”

Brielle answered with a confident expression.

Only Jeto can’t understand the situation and just makes a bewildered expression.

Levin put her arm around Zetoya’s shoulder.

“Are you ready?”

“yes? what?”

“Are you ready? “That’s great… hehe!”

“that is····”

“let’s go! “We can call Aaron and Dominic out little by little, so let’s start with you first.”

Zetoya turned his head to look at Zeon · But Zeon completely avoided his gaze ·

At that moment, Zeon was thinking of something else…

‘Following Zetoya, a child named Remura awakened one after another… Is this a coincidence? Or is there some factor?’

Just because you live in an underground sewer doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wake up…

In fact, there were quite a few awakened people in the underground sewers. However, they acted very secretly and their physiology was not well known.

‘I don’t think it would be a bad idea to take this opportunity to look into underground trends…’

Unlike Neo Seoul and the slums, which are separated by tall walls, the crocodile den was all connected.

Although it was blocked by iron bars, iron gates, or barriers, it was not a big problem.

Levin and Brielle were already leaving the slums, dragging Zetoya. Zetoya looked at Zeon with a sad expression, but it was no use.

Zeon headed straight to old Clexi’s store.

This time, we need the Eye of Argos, operated by old Clexi.

Instead, Old Man Clexi would demand a heavy price, but that was acceptable.

“First, we need to find out in detail the entrance to the crocodile den.”

Until now, I had chosen an entrance at random and entered.

If you look a little closer in the slums, what you see is a place to dump sewage, and the place where sewage collects is an underground sewer.

Thanks to this, I was able to find the entrance without difficulty… But that wasn’t enough…

The underground sewage system is like a maze, and even people born within it do not fully know what kind of ecosystem has been created within it.

In reality, Jetoya was only aware of the area in which he was mainly active, and was not aware of the atmosphere or environment of other places.

Zeon sighed…

“I thought I would get some rest now, but the work never stops…”

However, I couldn’t live without paying attention at all.

Because it’s something to do with you.

“Whoa!”

He let out a heavy sigh as he picked up his pace.
