Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

"Look at the way you are dressed, and you still dare to say that you are not suspicious! It would be strange if you don't look strange!"

"I agree. First of all, tell us your names. We won't be fooled that easily, and we are not stupid."

The short-haired man subdued the man in the red turban while trying to persuade the figure in the robe.

The robed figure held his chin with his hand, nodded slightly, and then said in a slightly brighter voice: "It is indeed as you said. My name is Lesak, and I am just an ordinary magician."

"You don't look like an ordinary magician at all! If you don't want us to be angry and make you suffer, get out of here!"

"Can we really go back? I thought you guys needed strength."

"Ah?" The man in the red turban tried to grab the robed figure named Lesak. However, at that moment, the action suddenly stopped. Because he saw the expression hidden under the robe.

"Well, I don't care, but it's already been decided." Revealed from his robe were red eyes that seemed to penetrate.

The three of them felt a shudder in their spines. This fear was without any reason, as if their hearts were being pulled out.

(This thing is so scary! I don’t know why, but it’s too dangerous! Run away quickly…!)

The man in the red turban tried to stand up but was completely unable to move. It seemed that the other two people had encountered the same situation.

Was it incomprehensible fear or some mysterious power? The three of them seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move or make any sound.

Lesak slowly took one step closer, and then another.

The red-hooded man gritted his teeth and thought, this guy is just like a demon. He can't be human. It's more natural that he is not like a human.

Lessak quietly raised his right hand and pointed it at the three people: "Okay... please relax. There will be a good time waiting for you soon."

Lysak's creepy smile spilled out from his robe. At that moment, the three people's terrified screams echoed in the night sky.

"Well, can we set off now?"

“Yes, I did say that. It was definitely not a slip of the tongue.”

After dinner, Xu Zhen was very confused when he got permission from Culler to set off. He didn't expect to be told so directly.

Kuler took a sip of hot tea, exhaled a long breath, and then said: "You have collected so much material in just half a day. Next, the best way is to actually go on a trip and accumulate practical experience."

As she spoke, Culler looked at the large amount of materials in the corner of the room. Although the amount was large, she valued that these were the results of her cooperation with the monsters and Courtney.

Once you start traveling, you will have to walk in places where monsters are infested. A small mistake may have serious consequences. Kuler especially wants to prevent Xu Zhen and his friends from traveling with a close relationship.

However, judging from today's results, this worry seems to be unnecessary. Although it is said that Xu Zhen performed some risky behaviors when testing Lopur's ability, Kuler believes that it is within the permitted range.

Of course, blindly engaging in dangerous behavior is not advisable, but considering Lopur's abilities, some risks seem unavoidable. Moreover, the monsters had clearly protested to Xu Zhen, which was also a reassuring factor.

"Hey, Xu Zhen, can I go with you? After all, I don't have any particular goals right now, as long as I can be with Xu Zhen..."

In response to Courtney's hesitation, Xu Zhen and Lati smiled happily and said, "Of course. Let's go together!"

"Please take care of me in the future."

“Same here.”

Lati cheered and looked at the excited Courtney with a smile on her face: "Great, Master! Our journey is finally about to begin!"

"Yeah. So, first of all... where should we go?"

Xu Zhen answered Lati's words almost subconsciously, but only now realized that he had not yet determined the destination. Kuler stood up and took a large map from the shelf.

"First, we should go to the guild to register as adventurers. To do that, we need to go to the capital..."

Kuleer unfolded the map and showed it to Xu Zhen and the others. Kuleer's home was located at the foot of the mountain, right between the border of Santono and the capital of Shuter.

"From the map, the closest place to here is the capital of Shuter in the east. But as you can see, the Kingdom of Santono is in the west. Of course, the same is true for the border."

"The capital and the border are in completely opposite directions... But to register as adventurers, we must go to the guild..."

Xu Zhen looked at the map and fell into deep thought, while Courtney acted as if he remembered something: "Well, I remember there is no rule that you must go to the guild in the Kingdom of Shuter..."

"Just as Courtney said. Adventurer registration can be done in any guild. It's just that the guild itself only exists in the capital."

This means that Xu Zhen has no problem registering as an adventurer in other countries.

After realizing this, Xu Zhen's original intention to register in the Kingdom of Shuter suddenly became less certain. He began to consider registering in the neighboring country of Santono, while recalling where he originally planned to go.

"Where is Lati's hometown?"

"To the north of the Kingdom of Santono is the great forest. And the Kingdom of Sforia is located on the continent to the north."

"...No matter which direction you go, it's completely opposite to King Shuter."

Xu Zhen had already decided where to go first: "Then let's go directly to the Kingdom of Santono."

"Is it okay if I don't go to King Shuter?"

"It's not necessary to go. After listening to grandpa, I felt that it was a bit dark there, and suddenly I didn't want to go there that much."

"Ah--" Latti nodded, not quite understanding. Courtney smiled bitterly, while Slakic and Loper were whispering.

Culler was just stating the facts, but he felt a little guilty.

"I'm sorry to have made you listen to so many unpleasant things."

"It's okay. It's in the opposite direction anyway, so there's no reason to go there specifically. If you change your mind and want to go later, we can talk about it then."

Xu Zhen said calmly, without any special concern in his tone. He really thought so, so he said it out loud.

"I don't mind."

“I don’t mind either.”

Latti and Courtney expressed their support, and Slakic and Loppel did not object. Seeing their reactions, Culler nodded deeply.

"That's it. There are many options. I won't say more." Kuler said so, and Xu Zhen clapped his hands briskly: "Then it's settled. First, cross the border to the Kingdom of Santono, and then go to the capital to complete my adventurer registration."

"I just need to show up in the guild." Courtney said, and Letty came over to look at the map again.

"Next is my hometown, the Great Forest of Ugras. Then the Kingdom of Sforia, right?"

"That's the plan. Let's just go ahead and do it, okay?"

"marvelous!"

Xu Zhen asked for his opinion, and Lati was the first to agree. Courtney, Slakic, and Lopul also almost smiled and said they agreed, nodding their heads in support.

In this way, Xu Zhen and his team's journey was officially confirmed. That night, the three monsters were sleeping soundly on the mat, but Xu Zhen and Courtney couldn't fall asleep for some reason.

"We are really about to set off. I didn't expect it would be so soon. I just escaped from the bandits yesterday, and I will set off tomorrow morning..." Xu Zhen lay on his back on the bed, looking at the stars outside the skylight, muttering to himself with emotion.

Courtney lay on the bed with a smile on her face: "Time flies. I escaped from the robbers yesterday, but I didn't expect it to become like this so soon."

"Indeed. I too...ah!" Xu Zhen suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

Courtney turned her face to the side curiously. Xu Zhen was still lying on his back and said softly, "Courteous, Courtney, there is something I haven't told you yet."

"What's up?"

Suddenly, Courtney listened attentively to what Xu Zhen said. Xu Zhen nervously began to speak, although he was not sure whether the other party would believe him.

“Can you believe it? I would love it if you could hear the end.”

So Xu Zhen confessed to Courtney that he was not from this world.

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

"Oh, I see. That must have been very difficult."

After listening to Xu Zhen's story, Courtney's first words were these. Xu Zhen couldn't help but be surprised by this too ordinary answer: "Will you believe me?"

“Because you don’t sound like you’re lying. And it’s not impossible for this story to happen, so I think it’s acceptable. So, it doesn’t matter if some details are unclear.”

Indeed, Xu Zhen didn’t know things that were generally known, such as the name of the kingdom. Although her expression became relaxed after the doubts were resolved, her smile soon disappeared, and she asked in a tone that sounded a little unhappy: “Do you want to return to your original world?”

"Not at all. I plan to live in this world forever. I don't plan to go back at all." Xu Zhen answered without hesitation, without even a hint of hesitation. Courtney felt that she could understand his thoughts.

“Well, where are your family members?”

“Well, I guess so.”

"So they should be looking for you now, right?" Courtney wanted to ask this question. He wanted to know that if Xu Zhen had ordinary parents, they must be very worried about him now.

With this idea in mind, he tested Xu Zhen, but he saw that his expression seemed very sober, which made him have some other doubts.

At this time, Xu Zhen said calmly with a blank expression: "How should I put it, my parents... although they are adoptive parents, they always think that I am a very strange child and make me feel disgusted, so they try to stay away from me."
