[401-600] LORD OF THE WORLD: I BECOME THE LORD OF THE DESERT FROM THE START

Chapter 434: Dune Lord's Transformation

The Dune Lord swallowed the last piece of meat and put down the bowl in great delight and satisfaction.

The sand ruler saw the little boy with some baby fat. He surprisingly stared at the bowl that was cleaner than a dog’s lick. The Dune Lord’s old face instantly turned red.

It coughed lightly.

“Little fellow, thank you for the food. It brought me delight… Can you tell me your name?”

The little boy smiled shyly and scratched his head.

“Grandpa, my name is Wild Boar…”

“Wild… A boar?”

The response startled the Dune Lord for a long time when he heard it.

Dune City only gave this name to those illiterate farmers who worked in the countryside for their entire lives.

The ignorant farmers believed that the lower the name of a newborn child, the easier it was to raise them.

The emotions in its heart became increasingly subtle.

“Who gave you this name? Where are your parents?”

The little boy’s eyes quickly dimmed.

“A group of bandits slayed them during the winter before last.”

“Slayed by bandits?”

The Dune Lord was silent.

Situations like this were usual during a crisis. Nine and a half out of ten orphans had similar reasons.

The sand ruler did not delve deeper into the child’s legal status.

“Then why did you appear in this city? This is the desert of death…”

The little boy blinked his eyes and said softly.

“The village chief said that the troop of the Rhino Empire was coming. We have to leave.”

“We encountered a sandstorm on the way, and a feudal lord saved us in the end.”

As he spoke, he looked at the Dune Lord curiously.

“Grandpa, did the feudal lord save you also?”

“I…”

These words made the Dune Lord feel sparingly hurt.

‘Why would he f*cking save me?’

‘I would have planned to rule the desert of death if it weren’t for that bastard.’

However, the sand ruler swallowed its words when it glared at those innocent eyes of the little boy.

It forced a smile.

“That’s right. I was also… His Lordship saved me.”

These words were too contrary to its heart. That caused its face to twist.

The little boy thought the other party was sad, so he pretended to be an adult and comforted the Dune Lord.

“It’s okay, Grandpa. When I first came to Twilight City, I was just as scared as you. It’s been better since I got familiar with it. This city is the best territory I’ve ever seen. No one bullies me, and no one bullies Auntie Marie, Uncle Kevin, and the others… Everyone said Twilight City was the best territory they had ever seen!”

The little boy’s eye sparkled as it spoke.

“I can eat my fill in Twilight City! And there’s meat!”

The tone of the voice carried a hint of pride. That changed the Dune Lord’s mood.

It couldn’t care no matter how many praises one would sing and recite. It did not matter. However, these words came from the mouth of a seven or eight-year-old child. It felt something odd.
