Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

This was Alicia, the elven magician girl he met when he said goodbye in the capital of Sforia. Although he was surprised by this unexpected reunion, he still felt that something was wrong with their demeanor and had doubts in his heart.

At this moment, Sergio coughed twice and said, "Sorry, now is a time of racing against time. Let's save the joy of reunion for later."

Sergio and Alicia sat facing each other, and I sat next to her. The waitress Dorothy brought in the tea and left, leaving five people, and the space was filled with a sense of oppression.

The first to break the silence was Sergio: "Let's confirm again. You came to me to find your companions, right?" Alicia nodded first to Sergio's question.

“Yes. Our leader, Russell, has been missing recently.”

"According to the last confirmed words of the city gate guard, he went west... which is this direction. So we thought he might have come to this village, so we came to take a look..."

Oliver showed a bitter expression, while Jill sighed deeply: "At least it seems that Russell did not come to this village. It seems that there is no reliable information..."

The only place worth noting from the capital to the west was the elf village. Therefore, everyone had high hopes of obtaining some information, but they were disappointed.

However, in this situation, the first person to adjust her mood was Alicia: "There's no point in being depressed. The most important thing now is to find Russell's whereabouts."

The way she clenched her fists made Sergio's eyes widen.

"From the moment I saw you in the capital, I noticed that you have changed a lot."

“Ah, what’s wrong?” Alicia tilted her head in confusion, while Sergio touched his chin and nodded.

"I see. It seems that traveling with Xu Zhen has given you a lot of valuable experience. It seems to have contributed to your unexpected growth... Could this be the reason why Russell lost control?"

Sergio's gentle expression suddenly turned serious. Hearing this, Alicia and the others - to be exact, Jill and Oliver - all smiled bitterly.

“This possibility is very high…”

“He has too much pride in himself.”

Next to them, Alicia lowered her head in embarrassment. I was surprised to hear their conversation, and Sergio seemed to agree.

"Well...Russell has always had an extremely strong sense of justice and pride. But this seems to have become a little biased... No, it can be said that it has become twisted in the worst way."

This idea was once said by Wesley, the guild master of the capital of Sforia. He said it casually when he was drinking with an old friend and talking about young adventurers.

Russell seems to lack mental flexibility. No matter how strong he is or how hard he works, if his heart is not strong enough, a small flaw can quickly lead to his collapse.

It had been about a year since he had heard the story. Nothing more had been heard of Russell since then, but it seemed as if he could not fill the void, Sergio was convinced.

For Sergio, no matter how Russell improves his skills, he is still just a young kid. Therefore, he feels that there is no need for him to say more, and Russell should explore his own path.

However, if he got into a dangerous situation with dark magic, the situation would be different. He also realized something else, and thinking about this in his mind, Sergio sighed.

"I see. Now I understand why you are worried about Xu Zhen's whereabouts."

"Hmm? Why do Alicia and the others care about Xu Zhen? Does Xu Zhen have anything to do with this matter..."

When Courtney asked the question, Sergio took a sip of the tea that had already cooled, then lowered his eyes and said, "Let me confirm again that the reason why Russell went berserk is probably because he was jealous of Alicia's unexpected growth. And an important opportunity for Alicia to have such growth is..."

"Because I traveled with Xu Zhen... Could it be that Russell was against Xu Zhen...?"

“It’s not impossible.”

Everyone around him showed surprised expressions, but Sergio remained calm and put the teacup back on the table.

"Brenda is with Xu Zhen and the others right now, but we can't be too optimistic. We have to hurry over to pick them up."

"Let's go!" Alicia said eagerly.

“We can’t just sit there and wait for this to happen. Please!”

"...Okay. I was planning on letting you lead the way anyway. Let's stop here. I already have a general idea of ​​the situation."

Sergio ended the conversation and Courtney looked up: "Well, can I come too?"

“Of course. But don’t force it. This also applies to all of you. Consider the possibility of retreating.”

"--OK!!"

Hearing Sergio's words, Alicia, Courtney and the other three responded with high spirits.

"Okay! Then let's go find... where should we go?"

Oliver stood up with a confident smile on his face, but suddenly became dazed, reflexively making everyone around him laugh and cry.

At this time, only Sergio was still sitting, keeping calm, and said to Alicia and the others with a helpless laugh: "They said they went south. I don't think they will go too far."

“Got it. Let’s go right away!”

"Walk!"

"Um!"

Then, Alicia, Courtney and the other two rushed out of the office and ran south. Sergio, who was left behind, slowly stood up, opened the window and looked out at the scenery.

“Hopefully things will work out… what happens next?” As Sergio whispered, a strange warm breeze blew by.

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

"How is this possible... Ugh!"

With a dull metallic sound, Brenda fell heavily to the ground. She was covered in wounds and her equipment was in tatters, and it was almost difficult for her to stay conscious.

Russell looked down at her scarred body with a grim smile, and a dark aura lingering around her.

"That's all. No... Have I become too strong? Well, this is only natural. Justice will prevail in the end, hahaha..."

Russell smiled happily, while Brenda clutched the soil on the ground and looked up at him. She remained conscious, but was furious at the unbelievable words, and her expression was severely distorted.
