Con'ou came to the gymnasium.

Once there, he heads to the underground arena and is greeted by a friendly face.

"Oh, who do we have here?"

Conou raised his hand.

As soon as he recognized him, the handsome young gentleman's face wrinkled.

On Arthur Tory, Alth's community site, "like Darion" is still a popular buzzword.

It's Darion, the progenitor of the buzzword!

Conou approached Darion and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, how are you doing?"

“... It's been a long time," Darion said, removing Conou's hand.

"Looks like you've gotten a lot stronger. ”

Cono examined him from top to bottom. He did look different.

It seems that he has more muscles than before, and he is better equipped.

"I'm not hanging around," Darion said sternly.

"It's been a while, so why don't we duel for the sake of desire?" Conou joked as he slapped Darien on the chest with his fist.

Darion's complexion changed immediately.

Due to the sudden loss of Conou, and later the slave contract, all the abuse he had to endure and the way he worked like a dog, he suddenly had a flashback.

"I'm a bit busy right now. ”

He could no longer fall into the clutches of this demon.

Darien quickly tried to escape, but Cono caught him.

"My dear. ”

"What is it?"

"I need a mercenary available. Want to work for me again?"

Conou smiled implicitly.

"Absolutely not. ”

"Hmm. Then I'll ask Berkan to let me lend it to you..."

Before he could finish it, Darion grabbed Conou's hand.

"Please don't!"

Conou heard his desperation.

"Oh, it's been a while since we last met, so at least pretend as if you're happy to meet me. Don't be so harsh," Conou said solemnly.

"I understand. ”

Darien forced himself to smile.

"Do your best. ”

Conou grabbed Darien's shoulder with his hand.

"Yes sir!" replied Darien.

"Okay, so what's your level?" asked Conou.

"I measured my level in the temple and it turned out to be level 95. ”

Alter had several different gods, each with a temple dedicated to their worship.

One of the functions of these temples is to measure the level of the National People's Congress.

"Only 95?"

In the past, Darien was not very useful, but now, he looks less useful than before.

It was clear that he was just slowing himself down.

Darien said, "You mean that only Master Berkan appreciates my rapid growth. ”

"Well, what. Where's Berkan?" Conou asked.

"Keep going down until you find a striped door. He'd go through that door. ”

"Take me to see him. ”

"Driver?"

"I said take me to see him. ”

"Me?" Darien retorted, as he couldn't be frank about no.

"If you don't want to, that's fine. I just asked Berkan to let me lend you. ”

"Obviously...... I'll take you to him. Please follow me. ”

Darion's attitude immediately changed. He pointed out the need to start moving.

"Punk. ”

Conou clasped his hands like a nobleman and followed Darion closely.

"He's in there. ”

Darien pointed to the door.

"Let's go. ”

Conou motioned for him to leave.

"Yes. Then go ahead with your business. ”

Once he was done, Darien quickly disappeared into the depths of the passage.

Knock, knock.

Knocking on the door, Con could hear Burkan from across the door.

"Come in. ”

Conou opened the door and walked in.

The interior of the room is simple. There is a table and a chair in the center of the room, and there are daily tools on one side of the room.

"You're here, brother?"

Berkan sat down in his chair and greeted Conou.

"But you come alone. He looked at Conou and said.

Burkan had told him that if he wanted to mine emery gemstones, then he needed to bring a miner here.

"I didn't come to King Kong today. ”

"And what are you going to do?" asked Burkan.

"That's..."

He described the places he visited: an uninhabited island, meeting the aquatic tribe Lupennia, and visiting their base, the Lupong Crystal Palace.

Conou also explains how Valan defeated the maritime disaster of Guriktulen.

"Oh. ”

Buchan listened curiously to Conou's voice.

"Oh, I hope you will convey the message of Queen Lupeña to Master Valan: she wishes to see him again. ”

"I also don't have a way to contact Master Valen. ”

Burkan shrugged his shoulders.

"Please tell him if he happens to come to you," Conou said.

"I think I can do it. All right. Berkan agreed.

He fulfilled Ron's request, so he had no more business here.

"Watch out for the dark roads of the night," Burkan waved him away.

Conou left the temple.

Granor and Ed are waiting for him.

"Did you grant Queen Ron's wish?" asked Ed.

"Yes. Now all we have to do is go to the Barreton Desert. ”

"Shall we go, then?" asked Granor.

"Let's go!"

Conou threw his fist into the air.

They finally made their way to the Bariton Desert.

Under the scorching sun, stretches of sand dunes.

Conou, Eder and Granor each rode their camels across the dunes.

Since there was no city to speak of in the Bariton Desert, they could not use the gates of Altan to transport themselves there.

Therefore, Conou's retinue transported himself to the city closest to the Bariton desert and rode a camel across the desert.

However, there is a difference between virtual reality deserts and real life.

First of all, monsters appear in the desert.

Love it now!

Gray lizards emerge from the sand.

"They are alligators," said Granno, Barriton desert people.

The alligator is native to the Bariton Desert. As the name suggests, they are exactly the same size as a real-life crocodile. They are smaller than real crocodiles.

"I think the sand crocodile is around level 100. ”

Conou recalled his message on the sand crocodile.

"Ed, take care of them. ”

That's just a level 100 monster. Cono does not need to intervene.

They are all on the same team, so he will gain experience regardless of whether he kills monsters or not.

"I understand. ”

Ed got off the camel and attacked the crocodile.

"Hap!"

His mace released green smoke that slammed into the crocodile's body.

Grano helps Ed. While he was still riding a camel, he cast a water spell.

His ball glittered and he shot a water bomb at the alligator.

Water polo!

The sand crocodile was unable to withstand the combined attack of Eder and Grano for long and died shortly after.

After that, Con'o's team faced various monsters from the Barriton Desert.

They are faced with a colony of black scorpions, which are as big as a human's forearm, and desert snakes, which are believed to be good for stamina. To make matters worse, they even face walking monsters in the shape of cacti.

Of all the threats, the monster that the party ended up killing the most was Sandurion.

Sandurion, the monster that eats sand!

They are gray wigs. However, they are larger than 1 meter and look even more ferocious than the average ear.

Not only are they fed with sand, but they tend to be aggressive and will attack any creature they see, which makes them very gangster-like.

They are around level 100, but are difficult to defeat due to their hard shell and sinister pincers.

However, none of this is what Conou's team is worried about.

Conou, Eder and Granno kill Sandurion (in groups of 10) without reservation.

Conou killed Sandurion simply but effectively with his sword.

Ed would block their pincers with a shield and, after he had cast a curse on them, would use a mace to concentrate in one place on their backs.

Grano uses his water magic without reservation, and his power is unusually powerful.

Water balloons, torrents, water whirlwinds, etc

With all these water spells emanating from his body, the three-toed lion had no choice but to bend over and die.

"Hmm. It's weird. Often, you don't even see Sandurion in Barryton desserts, but we still encounter them," said Grano.

"Well, it makes it easy to get things done, so it's okay," Conou said. ”

Conou received the task of killing 200 Sandurion from the Adventurers' Guild.

It's really easy for him because he doesn't need to look for them. They will come to him themselves.

At this rate, he quickly completed the task.

"I'll look into ...... later," Granor muttered.

"Oh, how far is the Hapdala Oasis?" Ed asked.

They plan to stay in the Bariton Desert for the time being.

They clearly needed a base of operations, so they chose the Oasis of Hapadala, the hometown of Granor.

"If we only pass through that dune and then three more, then we should arrive. ”

Grano pointed to the sand dunes in front of them.

"It would have been hard for us without you, Mr. Granno," Conor said.

There are no signs or roads in the desert.

As a result, Cono was amazed at Granno's ability to lead them through the desert so easily.

Grano just smiled.

Their journey through the desert was very smooth with the help of Granno, who is the supreme authority on the Barryton Desert.

Conou's party arrived at the Hapudara Oasis.

The Hapudala Oasis is located between the sand dunes and resembles a small island in the sea.

"It was much bigger than I expected. ”

As with more yurts and people, this was much larger than he expected.

"The Hapudala Oasis is already huge, and there are a few people passing through here. ”

It's been a long time since Granor got home, and he's almost glowing.

"Let's find accommodation first. ”

Granno (Granno) leads Conou's party into the yurt.

"Please wait here. ”

Grano asks Conou and Ed to wait outside when they enter the yurt.

Grano smiled at the gray-haired old woman.

"Oh, is that you, Grano?" said Theresa, greeting Grano.

"Yes. It's been a while. Are you okay?"

"Of course!"

Grano and Theresa exchanged pleasant greetings and shared news with each other.

"I came here with a group of people. Grandma, can we use the empty yurt next to you?"

Granno went straight to the finish line.

"Feel free to use it. ”

"Thank you very much. Then let me introduce you to my team. ”

Granno invited Conou and Ed, who were waiting outside.

"My name is Conou. ”

"I'm Ed. ”

"I'm Theresa. Please rest in peace before you go. ”

Conou and Eder greet Theresa and leave the yurt.

Then they entered the empty yurt next to her.

It is simple to construct. There is a brazier in the middle, surrounded by comfortable carpets, cushions and pillows.

Grano sat cross-legged on the mat.

Con'ou and Eder found their seats and sat down as well.

"It was empty but well maintained. ”

Conou looked around. Overall, it's clean and tidy.

"Her children use it when they come to visit her. That's why she always keeps it clean. ”

"Can we stay here from now on?"

Ed stroked his pillow as if the place was to his liking.

"Yes. ”

"Oh, oh. Again, I think it's a good thing that we're going with you, Mr. Granno," Conou said.

"Exactly!" Ed agreed fiercely.

"Nothing," Grano said.

"What are our plans from now on?" asked Conou.

"That's my plan. I want to test the rain-making device first. Then we will conquer the hidden dungeons and then, we will find the hidden oases. ”

Grano explained the plan he had made beforehand.

"The first thing to determine is to start. ”

Conou could see through his intentions. He starts with something that is absolutely certain.

"You're right. ”

"I have no problem with your plans. Ed, you didn't either, did you?"

"Obviously not. ”

"Good. And then, as planned, should we go and test the rain-making device?"

Granno's voice trembled, and his face sparkled.

"Yes. ”。

"Let's go!"

Conou's party left the yurt.
