093.

Seira looked at the royal road, where he was spending more time than anyone else.

As the carriage moves, it slowly moves away.

It is the way to finish the work in Alcardo and finally leave for the South.

While recalling what had happened there, she touched the telescope she had kept.

‘I never thought something like this would happen.’

Artifact selected from the Vault.

The clairvoyance magic was enchanted, and it could be used five times in total.

Of course, I didn’t choose to use it with impure intentions.

This, too, was picked up to help Lokram.

‘Because no matter how advanced the Pathfinder is, you can’t see through walls with the naked eye.’

I wonder if it will come in handy in historical sites or confined spaces.

Besides this, she got a lot out of it.

It was a spiritual harvest, not a material one.

‘As expected, Lokram is a man more like a warrior than anyone else.’

Lokram showed a different mindset from the warriors gathered in the capital.

Deep down, I didn’t like their passive behavior, but it was refreshing to think about the scene where I quoted an oath and fed them candy.

‘What are you going to talk about with Leah?’

For a while, I felt sad that Leah and I went out alone.

He understood what Leah thought of Lokram.

He must have sensed that too and set aside time for just the two of us.

To be honest, she doesn’t know what the conversation was about.

But it can be predicted.

It didn’t work out well, but it didn’t end badly either.

It is the result of judging by the expression of Leah who came back.

That premonition seemed to be correct to some extent.

‘Because we’ve been on good terms even after receiving the reward from the capital.’

Afterwards, Lokram went to the White Horse Tower and received two charging stones from Duke Terren.

That precious thing is a charging stone.

A rare item that allows you to use an artifact that has exhausted its number of uses again.

It seems to be a reward for saving Leah, but it must have been possible to get that much because Leah added words by his side.

After that, the two stopped by the black market to buy things for the party, and Lokram showed an unexpected appearance.

‘I never thought he’d even write me a letter.’

It is an Aden party who does not know the details of his journey.

There was something that Lokram didn’t say so he wouldn’t worry, but since he didn’t contact me in the first place, I had no choice but to know.

But no matter what the wind blew, Rokram opened the door to communication.

The abundant supplies and the camaraderie evident in the letter made Seira envious of his party members.

‘I’m still satisfied.’

It was noisy because of the incident, but it was a good time.

It was only natural that the purpose of the graduation gift was properly delivered.

“Do you like the present?”

Seira smiled at him as he rested his chin on the window sill and looked out.

A small boomerang that follows his hand.

It is firmly fixed on the central axis, and the three end points are spinning around.

It is a magic tool that artificially gathers the surrounding mana.

It was a gift I bought for her because if she rotated it and practiced the breathing method, her recovery would be a little faster.

“It’s a good thing to soothe boredom.”

But Lokram didn’t use it for that purpose.

Where is the good use though?

“Aren’t you sorry? I also made new friends, but Leah and them broke up soon after.”

“A new friend?”

“Kalan and Raella. no?”

“A friend… .”

Seira smiled lightly as he looked at him.

It was because of Callan’s behavior before they broke up.

I don’t know what the hell was going on, but they talked about Lokram as a rival and said that the next time they met, they would complete a new technique and find it.

“What was the name of that technique? Was it a lightning strike? Isn’t that a funny technical name? I was also scolded for holding back my laughter.”

“hmm.”

For some reason, Lokram stopped passing the gift he gave me and touched my fist.

“We are not friends either.”

“sure?”

“Annoying b*tches. Let’s do that for now.”

Looking at the gift that started to be turned again, Seira nodded.

It seemed that Lokram, who had always been consistent with a stiff attitude, had become a little more human.

***

I never thought I’d give you a fidget spinner as a gift.

Like a habit, I turned things around that weakly raked in magical energy.

By doing this, boredom goes away and thoughts deepen.

I know what the intention was, but to me, who had no aura, it was an object that simply turned it around.

‘An answer will come soon.’

I turned all contacts.

I sent it to Fenolino and Brat, so the meeting of heroes will be held again because of me.

Arden Party… I sent a letter to say hello.

The first letter I sent after changing my mindset.

They may be familiar, but to me, it is different from a flare that announces the beginning of a relationship.

I hope you take my advice in the letter positively.

‘The next destination is the Leheld Desert.’

The south is hot.

The heat that surpasses the heat will hit your body.

Preparations for it have been completed, but the problem is the elements that must be lurking there.

‘The problem is that I have to move on foot.’

From the beginning of the desert area, it is impossible to move with a wagon.

Going one step further, you need to hire a guide as well.

Seira is intended to avoid danger, not a quick guide to all geography of the continent.

So he needed someone to guide him to his destination beyond the desert.

“Whoa, it’s really steaming.”

“Because it is such a place.”

“Lokram was born and raised in a place like this.”

The entrance to the south arrived after a month of travel.

Seira looks around with a curious face.

The land became rough and I saw a pioneering village with sparse sandy beaches.

I have no intention of advertising myself as a hero, so of course I am a mercenary.

The identity he created in Dungrid wasn’t bad either.

“Um, do you carry out the quest to explore the ruins in Dungrid? It must have had a good reputation. However, be aware that the quests you’ll be doing here aren’t that easy. next!”

After passing through the guard’s checkpoint, I stared at Seira who had caught up with me.

“What did you get through?”

“I also made a temporary ID card.”

Shaking her identity card, she looked around the village and asked quietly.

“Shall we work separately for now? I think that would be more convenient.”

“okay.”

As she said, it’s better to split up now.

If you search for a guide while doing your own activities, you will be able to find it much faster.

“See you in the center of town at 16:00.”

“all right.”

It is as large as the town at the border of the desert.

The mercenary guilds and inns that entered this place could not be leaked even with both hands.

‘I’m going to take up some time here.’

Still, you need to meticulously seek out a guide.

Because the soul of the next hero to be combined lies asleep in the desert.

It was one of the pieces of information I found out while reading Alcardo’s books the other day.

‘First of all, it’s urgent to know where the dawn of the desert where the hero is is located.’

Dawn of the desert refers to an ancient city that disappeared under the sand.

Finding that city was the beginning.

‘Let’s start by registering the request.’

Susomun is later.

If it doesn’t work on the standard road, you have to put your feet up and find a guide.

I entered the guild building I arrived at.

“Welcome to the Markellan Mercenary Guild. What business did you come for?”

“I want to make a request.”

“If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. Compared to competing guilds, there is a wider range of request forms, and the average mercenary grade is… .”

A receptionist who brags about his guild like a machine.

It was desperate as there were many competing guilds.

Looking around, the eyes of the mercenaries looking this way were unusual.

‘Everyone is hungry for a request.’

What is the reason?

It wouldn’t be the scale of being thirsty for just one client.

When I asked indirectly, the receptionist kindly informed me with a smile.

“Recently, there have been frequent large sandstorms in Leheld. As you can see, everyone is tied up. In the meantime, the client came here.”

That’s how it happened.

The natural disaster got so bad that everyone was out of work.

I slowly nodded my head and filled out the request form.

“thank you! I will set up a meeting date with a guide who meets the conditions as soon as possible.”

“Please.”

After saying that, he went outside.

Five more places remain.

I wanted to be close to meeting the time.

***

“Hmm.”

Seira looked out the window and sighed.

The frustrated look is evident.

Intermittently, the gaze that looked this way was full of impatience.

I want to ask something, but the response is that I don’t have the courage.

I understand.

It’s not something that can be solved by just the two of us.

“Another sandstorm. I heard that this is due to an indirect effect, but isn’t it too severe?”

A week since I stayed in the village.

As she said, the momentum of the grains of sand hitting the window is brutal even though it is indirectly affected.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just looking at the sandy appearance of the guests who entered the inn, you could tell the aftermath.

‘It’s crazy to walk around in this situation.’

He said the storm hadn’t been this severe until just a few weeks ago.

However, when I see it getting worse, there is a culprit that immediately comes to mind.

‘A fragment of the demon king.’

The guy is trying to escape his fate.

It could be that this happened as a result.

If not, this would happen at regular intervals.

If the cycle is circulating over a long period of time, it is not strange that the residents here are experiencing it for the first time.

“Are you going to look around today?”

“It should be.”

I wrote a request form and met numerous applicants.

All of them fell short of expectations.

Not knowing where the dawn of the desert is is a failure.

Even if you pretend to know, if you ask deeply, you will be found out soon.

‘Everybody knew the legend that such a city existed, and didn’t seem to know anything else.’

I want to give up like this.

The hero’s soul to be replaced. I remembered a few things, but they are literally just substitutes.

In my heart, I want to get more from this place.

That’s right, if you have that, even if you face a fragment, your chances of winning will increase.

If I still can’t find it by 15 days, I’ll have to move.

Because it can’t be delayed any longer.

“Then let’s go.”

“Ah, I will go around again.”

“thanks.”

As expected, I thought it was a good thing to bring in Seira.

I left the room and went down to the first floor.

“Oh, mercenary. Are you going out in this weather?”

“I have work to do.”

I exchanged a few words with the owner and put my hand on the doorway.

However, the door opens even without force.

“Wow! Wow! Wow!”

An unidentified existence that bursts in from the head.

Shaking off the robe and shaking the hood.

Soon, the guy and I met eyes.

It is light green eyes full of mystery.

He looked at my face and smiled.

“Looks like I’ve come close to you?”

“Do you know me?”

I finished shaking off the sand and took off my robe.

The hair of the same color as the eyes was impressive.

“Sure. A huge client who is known for being meticulous. Are you looking for a guide? I’m here to apply!”

“It’s not that big… .”

I pointed to an empty seat, ignoring Seira’s muttering.

“Which guild do you belong to?”

“I’m independent!”

Follow up and answer clearly.

Although he was an independent mercenary, did he come after receiving a request instead?

It doesn’t matter what happened.

I looked straight at the woman sitting across from me and asked straight away.

“Every applicant I meet knows what to ask.”

“Sure. Are you looking for the desert dawn? I know.”

Was it good to wait until the end?

It’s still too early to rejoice.

I simply asked about things there.

“Tell me everything you know about it.”

Simple but comprehensive.

Got several with this.

“hmm… It is an ancient city founded by the southern hero Del Cunello, and we know that it was a city of abundance and joy. Besides, it blocks the invasion of foreign enemies with its own barrier, so they say you have to interpret riddle-like words to get to that city, right?”

“That enigmatic word. can you tell me?”

The woman smiled.

“When the wrath of heaven grows, look in the direction the sun rises and worship. Then let it be opened.”

There is no doubt about it.

It was a guide that met my standards.

“It’s called Locke. What is your name?”

She tucked her hair behind her ear at my question.

“Gile Elten.”

Verdant vegetation in rune language.

“People often misunderstand my appearance… As you can see, I’m not an elf, I’m a human.”

The round ears come into the eyes.

She was a human named after the elven naming convention.
