Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Oliver nodded in agreement, then immediately frowned again: "But even so, we still can't understand. What good is there in just targeting Russell..."

"If you think about it that way, then Russell is just a bait, right?" Jill said in a lighthearted tone. As the atmosphere became heavy, she just wanted to add some lighthearted jokes.

Although she expected to be rebuked, she wanted to change the atmosphere. After all, she expected someone like Oliver to pop up and say, "What the hell are you talking about?" However, Sergio's reaction was unexpected.

"Hmm... Jill's guess may not be wrong."

Jill's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting such an answer at all. This reaction was beyond her expectations.

She quickly calmed down, her expression turned to confusion, and then she asked Sergio: "What does this mean? Is the enemy's real purpose to target something in this village?"

“While the details are still unclear, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. There is something magical about this historic village that is worth targeting.”

While Sergio was speaking calmly, Alicia and the others were surprised. Seeing this, Sergio couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It's not that surprising. This village is a secret place. That is, it was created in secret and didn't want to be discovered. It's different from the secret base built by the children. There are reasons why it must be hidden."

After hearing what Sergio said, Courtney and the others showed embarrassed expressions: "Well... I always thought this was a place for practice, a hidden village."

"Ah, I thought so too."

"Me too."

“Sorry, me too.”

Facing the reactions of these four people, Sergio couldn't help but laugh: "From the perspective of your generation, it is natural to think this way. There is no need to care too much."

Then, Sergio decided to end the topic: "Anyway, I need to think about this man behind the scenes again. Including rescuing Russell. Let's stop here today. It's late. I won't have any better ideas if I think about it more carefully."

Alicia and the others also nodded. Although Sergio was a little reluctant, he thought that he couldn't force it.

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

After Courtney and the other three left Sergio's office, Sergio was the only one left in the room.

Sergio took a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea and took a deep breath. As he stared at the swaying liquid in the cup, some thoughts came to his mind.

(The sealed guardian deity...are they planning to awaken it?)

Sergio stood up quietly, took out a worn box from the deepest part of the drawer, and pulled out a faded document. He opened the document, which detailed the situation of the guardian god who was sealed deep in an elf village decades ago.

Although it is a true monster, it once obeyed someone during the war and protected the village from the flames of war. The villagers gradually began to regard it as a guardian and worshiped it deeply.

However, once the war was over, the patron saint was regarded as a dangerous existence by people. This shows that it has extremely amazing power. The person who obeyed it died in the war, which is also an important reason.

Without someone who can control the guardian spirit, once it starts to run wild, no one will be able to stop it.

Before it turned into a disaster, some people suggested that they should defeat the guardian spirit themselves, but the fighting power at that time was not enough to do so.

(So ​​the conclusion is that it is a seal... But it seems that people's storm behavior has hardly changed, whether now or in the past.)

Of course, he thought he already knew this. But when he saw it again, he was still quite touched. But now was not the time to think about it. While adjusting his mood, Sergio looked back at the document.

(The seal was cast by the village elder at the time. He died of an epidemic before he could pass on the secrets of the seal magic to his descendants. In other words, the seal magic will eventually be broken.)

Since it is a special magic, it cannot be reinforced by other magic. And it is not surprising that the magic itself has cracked after several decades. There is a way to repair the crack, but it is necessary to be able to cast the same magic.

As an elder, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Sergio had been thinking about this problem, and had consulted Queen Sforia and Wesley before, asking the magicians to assist in the study of sealing magic. At the same time, he also strengthened the combat power of the suppression of the patron saint.

Setting up a training ground in the village to accept adventurers is also part of this plan.

(Although it was very difficult, a concrete plan was finally formed. Just when I heard the news, this happened...)

Of course, this is just one of many possibilities. For now, Russell's incident has nothing to do with the patronus, and if you are told that you think too much, you can't refute it.

But Sergio still felt uneasy.

(According to the original plan, the magicians of the capital should come to this village to announce their research results. However, due to the monster riot in the capital last week, the meeting was postponed. I didn't expect Russell's incident to happen suddenly... If it's just a coincidence...)

Although various thoughts came to mind, none of them had solid evidence. I could only observe the situation and deal with it step by step.

With this in mind, Sergio closed the document, put it back in its old box, and took it to the cabinet.

(Anyway, things are getting more and more troublesome...)

Sergio put the box back into the deepest part of the drawer, feeling that a storm was coming, and the growing sound of the wind outside seemed to confirm this.

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

Russell walked through the forest as the wind blew through it. He seemed to be walking aimlessly, but his eyes were determined.

Suddenly, Russell stopped, closed his eyes quietly, and felt something. Then, he showed a satisfied smile.

“Hahahaha… I’ve gotten stronger. I’ve gained perfect power. I want to be more reckless and violent… I want to show off this power more… Hahahaha…”

Russell said in a very firm tone. His eyes were wide open, glowing red in the darkness. Although he was wavering, his steps were very firm.

While observing Russell's figure, there was a man standing on the tree. Lesak looked at the wine-red robe fluttering in the wind without paying any attention, and his smile seemed to say "How interesting".

"It feels good... so I should move too, right?" Lesak muttered to himself, then quickly jumped down from the tree.
