Desert Wind (3)
Dalun Desert, large city of Cadilt.
‘Rozion’, the largest demon hunter guild in the military district, was holding a meeting in a serious atmosphere for the first time in a long time with all its executives gathered together.
“… … So, the frequency of red calls has increased more than 10 times compared to 10 years ago?”
“That’s right. “Until 10 years ago, the frequency of red calls per year was only about 2 to 3, but this year it has already reached 30.”
“I’m going crazy. Why is this happening? Have you contacted the Magic Tower in the Central Continent?”
“We are still collaborating, but they say they don’t know the exact cause. However, all I can say is that whatever happens in the South should be handled in the South… … .”
“I’m going crazy.”
The time when people from all over the continent gathered together to fight against the devil ended 500 years ago.
Now that the devil is no longer a common enemy of the world, it is only a national problem, so there is no need for help from the Central Continent.
“Is there anything you can guess as the cause?”
“I’m not sure… … There is an opinion among Magic Tower officials that the Dalun Desert was designated as an opening for demons to enter Astera. “Half a century ago, the guardian ‘Dernel’, who was protecting the desert, entered eternal sleep and was no longer powerless to stop them.”
“Shit. “Is the absence of a guardian this big?”
Dernel, the guardian who has looked after the desert for hundreds of years. Its existence has always been a nuisance to the desert people.
Whenever humans or elves tried to cross the desert, they would create sandstorms and hinder trade, which greatly hindered trade.
50 years ago, everyone cheered when it was said that Dernel had entered the eternal resting place.
It was thought that the era of great trade would come as the entity that only hindered exchanges between desert countries disappeared.
It was a mistake.
The desert was filled with all kinds of monsters and monsters unknown to mankind, and those that escaped Dernel’s control began to invade the country, making it difficult to raise an army to stop them, let alone develop through large-scale trade.
50 years since the war against monsters broke out. It was possible to hold out for some time as self-proclaimed demon hunters began to appear one after another, but now the situation was getting worse.
“The appearance of the devil… … .”
Master Ledalion of the Logion Guild ran his hand down his face.
While politicians were already putting pressure on people to make it mandatory to participate in the Demon War, there was a high possibility that they would be forced into the battlefield if demons began to appear.
If you refuse, the guild will collapse in an instant.
This is because the guild alone did not have the power to oppose Cadilt City.
‘It’s already gone beyond the guild level problem. As the Red Calls begin to break through one by one, the demons will slowly encroach on the land… … .’
If that happens, you could end up sleeping in a guild and completely lose your place to live.
Redallion was a native desert elf who had lived in the Dallen Desert for over 100 years. Due to the nature of an elf, he could never abandon his hometown easily, so he was destined to not be able to leave this place.
‘You must protect it.’
That sense of duty weighed on Redallion’s heart.
That wasn’t all.
“Damn, I guess I’ll have to stop the devil.”
“What on earth is the city council doing?”
“You’re putting pressure on the mercenaries for no reason. “Now is not the time.”
Not all of the executives gathered here were elves, but none of them wanted to abandon their hometown where they were born and raised.
“… … We need to hold a meeting of the Cadilt Demon Hunters Association. I need to gather the warriors and ask their opinions. Let everyone disperse. “I guess it’s hard to come up with a sharp number right now.”
After saying this to his guild members, Redallion sighed and headed to his office.
“master! master!”
At that time, one guild member came rushing over.
“Did you hear the news?!”
“What news?”
“The saint, the saint of Benedis, has come to Cadilt!”
“what?”
Redallion’s eyes widened at those words. Normally, it would have been rather bothersome to have such a large-scale saintess come to visit, but now it was completely good news!
But even so, I couldn’t express any joy. She must be said to be a saint, because after all, it was highly likely that she would visit briefly on a pilgrimage and then leave right away.
“I’ll be back soon anyway.”
“yes… … I think so too. The saint has no combat experience in the first place and she is loved by the Pope, so it is difficult for her to easily ask for help. “She says she’s still meeting the mayor, and I think she’ll most likely go back soon.”
“Don’t worry too much. “I would be grateful if you could at least make a pilgrimage for blessings.”
With that thought, Redallion shook off his thoughts about the saint.
In any case, a high-ranking person who had nothing to do with him only came to visit for a moment.
However, before Redallion could enter the office, someone came running screaming again.
“Master!!”
“Whoa, what else? A saint came to visit? “I heard about that.”
“yes? That’s not it! Calla Dawn! Caladern’s Foldon Knight has arrived! “I want to know the circumstances of the incident currently taking place in the Dalun Desert!”
“what?!”
At those words, Redallion hurriedly ran to the guild member and grabbed his shoulder tightly.
“Is that really true? “If you lie, I will cut your head off!”
“Ah, Master. Have you been deceived? “It’s true!”
“Why on earth would Caladorn be here…?” … No, this is not the time. “Hurry and guide me!”
“yep!”
Redallion’s breathing was rapid.
Caladern’s Foldon Knight is coming to see you in person because he’s curious about the demon crisis in the Dallen Desert!
Foldon Knight was known to usually operate alone, but his mere presence would certainly be of great help.
‘Who came to visit? There are probably less than 10 active Foldon Knights.’
With that in mind, Redallion headed to the first floor lobby of the guild building and was immediately taken aback.
Long black hair and silver eyes.
Even the pure white cloak and Kaladan medal. He was definitely Foldon Knight, but he was strangely young. Even though I was young, I was too young. So much so that I wonder if he has ever held a knife.
I guess I’m only sixteen or seventeen now.
Her beauty, which was even better than that of an elf, was enough to make Redallion lose his soul for an instant, but that kind of appearance wasn’t important right now.
Combat power.
Because the only thing needed in the fight against the devil was combat power!
‘You’re so young… … .’
Not everyone in Kaladun is invincible and the strongest. The younger blood relatives would not be that strong.
Redallion was embarrassed for a moment, but didn’t show it and offered to shake Harang’s hand. Even though she is young, Caladorn is Caladorn.
With his influence, I may be able to receive support from my family.
“Nice to meet you. “This is Redallion, the guild master of Logion.”
When he first introduced himself, the boy smiled and held hands.
“Nice to meet you. “Foldan Knight, my name is Paul Calladorn.”
“… … !!”
The moment you hear that name.
In an instant, all the doubts Redallion had so far were blown away.
‘Harang, my name is Paul Callathan… … ?’
The boy who is said to be a genius created directly by heaven?
“It’s truly an honor to meet you like this.”
Harang smiled as he saw Redallion’s attitude change in an instant as soon as he heard his name. The fact that his own fame was spreading around the world made him feel good.
“however… … “You said you were curious about the devil. Can I ask why?”
Harang answered Redallion’s question without any hesitation.
“The devil is invading the continent, so is there any reason to ignore it?”
“That means… … .”
“I am still inexperienced and lacking, but I want to help you. So, I would like to ask you to provide us with the data you have collected so far on the demon and red call phenomenon… … .”
“of course! “As much as you want!”
Redallion’s eyes sparkled and he shook his head up and down.
The reputation of the Calladun family easily moved people’s hearts.
Kaladun, who is proudly standing at the top of the world, says that he will go out on his own to hunt demons. How touching is this to an ordinary person?
If others had said the same thing as Harang, it wouldn’t have been as touching.
Because it was Caladorn. The effect was doubled because he was from a 3rd generation swordsman and hero family.
‘People here go overboard even when they say insignificant things.’
Although it was embarrassing for Harang, it was good because he was able to easily obtain information about the events taking place here.

“… … “The saints of Calathon and Benedis came to the Dalun Desert?”
Pop! Twauk! In a deep cave with dripping water, in the darkness where red flames fluttered, a man wearing a spiderweb-patterned mask raised his head.
“So you said so?”
The masked man asked as the furry man who was poking the flame with a skewer answered.
“The reason is?”
“I don’t know.”
“Answer me straight. “It may interfere with our work.”
“Shit. Wouldn’t it be obvious? I must have stopped by because the devil appeared. Kaladun is inherently incapable of getting past demons. Where can those psycho bastards who get excited and run away at the sight of a devil go?”
“It doesn’t matter since Calla Dawn works as an individual anyway. What about Benedis? “If he starts interfering at the level of the Holy Empire, it will be quite a headache.”
“I heard you’re on a pilgrimage? It will pass soon. She’s a saint, and she’s been saying for some time that she doesn’t interfere with these kinds of things. “She is unusually cautious in her activities.”
“It’s suspicious. “She heard that the woman’s divine power has already surpassed that of her predecessors.”
“So, that’s right. You must have already received the revelation a long time ago, and you may have heard the revelation, but there is nothing to say. “Thanks to you, things just became easier for us.”
“I don’t know yet. “If the saint begins to interfere in this matter, it will be difficult for us.”
“Don’t worry. It will pass soon anyway. By the way, how are you? Are you ready?”
In response to the furry man’s question, the masked man looked towards the corner.
There was a girl.
Her eyes were out of focus, making her look like a doll with a broken thread, and she was staring into space with a blank face.
“… … We were always ready. “Desert demon hunters are perfect for raising his avatar.”
“Oh, I’m a little curious? They say they just absorb talent? Are they cannibalistic?”
“Don’t worry about that, just go do your own thing.”
“Tsk.”
After saying that, the masked man disappeared, and the furry man blew out a spark! I turned it off and stood up.
“All of those ‘Del Fael’ guys are unlucky.”
However, I couldn’t disobey them because if I followed them, I would receive a huge reward, and if I rashly opposed them, I could lose my head.
“How many times will I die this time? Stupid people will be mistaken and think it’s the devil’s work.”
The man was whistling and trying to get out of the cave, when he looked at the girl sitting blankly.
Because she was a girl with such an outstanding appearance, I was shocked for a moment, but shook my head.
‘You said you signed a contract with a monster-like guardian? I said I wouldn’t touch something like that.’
Even the furry man left the cave, and now the girl was the only one left in the cave.
‘cold… … .’
The girl was unable to move, unable to do anything other than stare blankly into space.
