Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Sergio tightened his expression and turned his gaze to Lopul on Xu Zhen's shoulder.

"Actually, a few months ago, our village was robbed by thieves and many fairy ships were stolen. Thanks to the warriors in the village and the adventurers in the capital, we quickly caught the thieves and rescued most of the fairy ships. But one was secretly sold to other continents by black market merchants."

"It is said that the black market merchant fled from the Kingdom of Santono to the Kingdom of Shuter. I guess that fairy ship might be..." After hearing what Sergio and Brenda said, Xu Zhen and Lati looked at each other.

"After all, Lopur was caught by thieves, so this speculation is very likely."

“That would make sense if they bought it from a black marketeer.”

There is indeed no definite evidence. But Xu Zhen believes that the possibility that Lopur is the fairy ship is very high.

The moment Brenda saw the Lopple, she knew it was the one that had been stolen. It was unclear whether it was due to some distinguishing feature or her intuition, but it did not seem to be a random judgment.

While Xu Zhen was thinking about this, Sergio nodded deeply and said, "What I am most worried about is that the escaped fairy ship fell into the hands of evil people and suffered a lot. But Lopur, right? It looks like it is smiling happily. It seems that it has found a really good owner."

Sergio smiled and touched Lopur's head, then looked directly at Xu Zhen again: "Xu Zhen, you must take good care of these little guys in the future. As a monster messenger, you cannot tarnish the reputation of a good master, understand?"

"...Yes!" Xu Zhen's answer was clear and firm, and Sergio nodded with satisfaction. At this time, Xu Zhen remembered their original intention.

"By the way, Elder, I have a question to ask..."

"Go ahead. You're welcome."

"Then I'll be frank... Actually, we are looking for Lopur's hometown. I want it to see what it looks like. I heard that the elders might know something, so we have always wanted to go to the elf village to take a look."

"Just ask any questions you have. Do you know anything?" Sergio replied, resting his chin on his hand, as if thinking.

"Even if I knew, it wouldn't be easy for me to tell you... But unfortunately, I don't know anything about this either. Because the fairy ship is always moving its home."

"Ah, really?" Sergio nodded to the surprised Latti.

"Hmm. There has always been this tendency, and it seems that the incident a few months ago has become a major trigger. Now, most fairy ships seem to be scattered in the deep forests, inaccessible places. If you really want to look for them, I won't stop you, but I must say that the possibility of success is extremely low."

"The family and companions called Lopur are probably no exception." Brenda continued. Hearing these words, Xu Zhen and the others were speechless for a moment.

In short, it is difficult and even futile to find Loppel's hometown at this stage. Although Xu Zhen and Lati are reluctant to accept this fact, they have to admit that this is reality.

At this time, Loppel jumped off Xu Zhen's head and looked up at him.

“Meow… meow, meow, meow…”

“It’s saying there’s no need to force the search.”

It seems that Lopul is worried that Xu Zhen will do something reckless.

It foresaw that Xu Zhen might enter the forest recklessly and eventually be unable to come out. In addition, he might not want to cause trouble to his companions and leave alone.

Lati and the others seemed to have the same idea, and they nodded with serious expressions, as if they thought this was something that might happen.

"Master, although we are very happy with your kindness, if you suffer any harm because of it, then it will be meaningless. Please think about it again."

“Blip!”

“Meow!”

That's it, this is absolutely what we should do, Slakic and Lopul seemed to be saying. Although there was no direct translation, Xu Zhen somehow felt that way.

Under the strong momentum of the monsters, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly, but he still wanted to say at least this: "No, I didn't have that plan in the first place."

“…but even so!”

Being reminded again so strongly, there was no room for rebuttal, and Xu Zhen felt it would be better to nod honestly.

"Okay, okay. I won't force myself to look for Lopur's family and partners. If there is a chance, how about we take action again?"

"You left out the words 'all together.'"

“I’m sorry. It’s everyone.”

While apologizing, Xu Zhen had a question in his mind. Is Lati such a tough person?

Sergio and Brenda watched them from a distance with smiling faces.

“They really look like a family.”

“Yes. I feel exactly the same way.”

Sergio opened his eyes wide and flashed at Brenda's smile: "...It's rare. Why are you so obedient all of a sudden? What happened?"

“I’ll be obedient too. Don’t make fun of me!”

“Oh, I’m so sorry about that.”

Sergio easily avoided Brenda's complaints, while Xu Zhen was still surrounded by monsters and was being nagged.

----------------

The conversation between Xu Zhen and the monsters finally calmed down. Just as they were about to go deeper into the forest to look for water, Sergio patted his chest and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you into the forest this time!"

At this time, Brenda groaned and covered her head: "... Elder, we should move towards the capital..."

“Don’t get hung up on the details.”

"I want to be serious! We are here to carry out a mission, please be serious!"

“Oh my. I’ll explain it to you nicely, don’t worry.”

"Gee...but you..."

Brenda tried to find a way to refute her, but she seemed to be about to give up. According to this trend, it seemed that the elder was no longer willing to listen to her.

Even Xu Zhen, who had been watching from the sidelines, began to wonder, is this really possible?

“It doesn’t feel right to just ignore the work…”

“Even you say that? You’re always worried about being exhausted.”

"No matter what, it is you, the elder, who may regret it in the end..."

"Oh, all right, all right. Well, let's go."

Sergio ended the conversation forcibly and led Xu Zhen and the others deeper into the forest. Brenda looked at them as if she were looking at a grandfather and his grandson, and smiled unconsciously.

As they went deeper, the sunlight was gradually blocked, but the magic particles emitted a moderate light, without any gloomy feeling, and even felt a little sacred. Xu Zhen and the monsters were involuntarily attracted by this scene.
