Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

The Forest Guardian was sealed at the end of the war. People were afraid of its power and eventually sealed it away. In the final analysis, it was people's selfish emotions that led to all this.

Jacklun's fists were shaking as he spoke, showing his inner anger. Xu Zhen listened silently with a serious expression, neither confirming nor denying Jacklun's feelings.

This is because he can more or less understand Jacklon's feelings.

"So, Jacklun, you want to rescue that guardian angel?" Xu Zhen asked in a low voice. Jacklun stared at him with wide eyes. Then he turned to him, with a piercing look in his eyes.

"I tamed the Patronus not only to deal with Russell and Lesak, but also because I wanted to rescue it. What is the actual situation?"

In response to Xu Zhen's gaze that continued to stare at him, Jacklan raised his hands, as if to say that he was helpless.

"… Overall, your guess is basically correct. I have to admire your insight."

Hearing this answer, Xu Zhen was happy because he guessed it right. Then, Jacklun asked again with a serious expression.

"However, Xu Zhen. Although I have said so much, do you think I am lying? Even if I am lying, you have no right to criticize me, which is obvious. The person who is deceived is the victim. That's enough."

"Well, if you put it that way..."

Xu Zhen did think this made sense. But——

"But I feel like you're not lying. At least, you do have the desire to rescue that monster, I think so."

"So, your intuition...right?"

"Yeah, that's about it." Xu Zhen said, scratching his cheek. He himself didn't know why he felt this way.

Jacklen, noticing this, smiled slightly.

“I see. That’s exactly what you said. Thank you, Xu Zhen. I’m glad to hear that.”

Seeing Jacklun's satisfied smile, Xu Zhen felt a little shy and couldn't help but look away.

At this moment, Jacklun suddenly thought of something and decided to tell Xu Zhen: "That being said, but... from the beginning, I always felt that the surroundings were too quiet."

"...What's so strange about this?" Xu Zhen frowned, as if asking himself what he had suddenly said. His reaction seemed to be what Jacklun had expected, and he continued to explain without changing his expression.

“There is a group called the Secret Team in the Elven Village. Their main purpose is to immediately notify the elders when outside intruders approach.”

"Oh, is it so?"

"But we are already in the village. So there should be such a person, at least one person, who should have discovered us, but..."

“But such people don’t seem to be around?”

"Yes."

Xu Zhen's question was confirmed by Jacklun. Although he tried to look around, he could not see any trace of anyone around except the leaves blowing in the wind.

To be honest, he now doubted whether this kind of existence really existed. Since he came to this village, he could not sense the presence of any secret team at all.

By the way, it is impossible for ordinary people to discover the existence of the secret team. Because they are composed of people with very high abilities. It can be said that they are the elite troops in the elf village.

“I see. An outsider like me wouldn’t notice that, would I?”

Xu Zhen nodded to show his understanding. Suddenly he realized something, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Jacklun with a puzzled expression.

"…Wait a minute. How did you know that? You said you knew they weren't there, what does that mean…"

In other words, Jacklun has enough skills to detect the existence of a secret team that is difficult for ordinary people to detect. This is what Xu Zhen pointed out.

In other words, Jacklun is not an ordinary person. Faced with this question full of doubt, the answer I got was -

"I have also experienced many life and death tests."

"Hey, this alone is hard to believe..."

This only disappointed Xu Zhen. Jacklun, who had no reaction to this, stood up and said in a bright voice: "But it might be better not to be discovered than to cause trouble. It's actually a good thing."

"It sounds like thieves... but isn't that what we do similarly?"

It was not until now that Xu Zhen realized what they were trying to do.

If you awaken the guardian spirit without permission, you will probably be blamed if you are discovered afterwards. However, it is not certain whether it will be just a blame.

However, in order to break through the status quo, he had to make some helpless choices. It would be great if there were other ways, but unfortunately he didn't think of any.

It seems that there is only one way to go. This is Xu Zhen's conclusion.

"...Then it's about time for us to set off?" Xu Zhen stood up with difficulty, and Jacklun also stood up slowly at the same time.

"Yes, let's go. A little further along this path we'll reach the cave dedicated to the guardian deity."

“Where is the Patronus?”

“Maybe.”

Hearing this answer, Xu Zhen realized that the time to meet the guardian angel was coming. He called Lati and others who were strolling by the river and told them about this matter. They all showed their motivated expressions.

Xu Zhen thought with a wry smile, now there was no way out, so he made up his mind again.

Just as they were about to leave the riverside——

“Save me—”

The voice did come. Xu Zhen paused with a stiff expression.

"Xu Zhen?" Jacklun turned around and asked, but Xu Zhen just looked around, obviously having no time to care about anything else.

Lati was curious and flew towards Xu Zhen: "What happened?"

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"...What did you hear?" Xu Zhen suddenly asked, and Lati answered in surprise.

Judging from their reactions, they obviously didn't hear the sound just now. Looking at the expressions of Slakic and others, they also seemed confused. Obviously no one heard the sound.

Only Jacklen's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Did you hear that? Is it the same sound?”

"...Maybe. Also, for help..."

Xu Zhen answered confusedly, and Jacklun put his hand on his chin to think.

"Maybe... Anyway, we have to get to the cave of worship quickly!"

"Ah, okay..."

With some tension, they began to move along the road without a path. For some time, the sound was not heard again.
