Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Xu Zhen put Foreo on the bed, and Lati and Lopur jumped on the bed. The three of them immediately fell into a sweet sleep, and only Xu Zhen and Lim were awake.

Caressing Lim's back, Xu Zhen recalled the few days since arriving in the village: "Yeah... We have only been here for four days..."

Realizing this again, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and said what he was thinking: "How many turbulent days have we experienced?"

"really."

“Yeah… huh?”

Although he wanted to agree, he realized that no one should speak in this room, so Xu Zhen stood up holding Lim.

Then, a young man in a wine-red robe descended from the ceiling. He took off his headscarf, revealing his face, and smiled gently at Xu Zhen.

"Hello. Long time no see."

Xu Zhen was unable to react for a moment. He never expected that such a person would suddenly appear here. This person was suspected by Jacklun to be the mastermind behind the incident. Just a few months ago, he suddenly appeared in the Eugrias Forest and stood in front of Xu Zhen and the others.

Now this person suddenly appeared in front of him. It was simply impossible to stay calm. Although his throat felt extremely dry, Xu Zhen still managed to squeeze out a voice and asked this person a question.

"Lesak... why are you here?"

Faced with Xu Zhen's questioning, Lesak just smiled and said nothing.

"Gulu!"

"Ah, don't worry. I'm not here to fight."

Seeing the strange man appear, Lim threatened eagerly, while Lesak calmly comforted him. Then he turned his gaze to Xu Zhen: "I came here for a purpose. It is to talk to Xu Zhen."

“With me?”

"Yes, that's right. I want to sit down and have a good chat with you. I think now is a good opportunity." Jacklun still had a relaxed smile on his face, but at least it didn't look like he was joking.

Maybe he really came here just to talk to Xu Zhen. A new hypothesis suddenly emerged in Xu Zhen's mind: "...Although I find it unbelievable. But you wouldn't make such a big fuss just for this purpose, right?"

"That's a misunderstanding. Although the monsters are causing trouble everywhere, I was the one who caused this chaos."

Lesak raised his hand and showed a helpless smile, as if to say "What a trouble", which made Xu Zhen even more nervous.

"You are the one who caused the monsters to make trouble... Is that what you mean?"

“Yes, that’s right.”

"So, it's your fault that Russell was driven mad by the dark magic?"

"Yes, it was indeed the curse I cast on him in the capital of Sforia last week." Lesak said lightly while smiling, causing Xu Zhen to narrow his eyes.

"…You are really frank."

"I have no intention of hiding anything." Lesak said lightly. It seemed that there was nothing else to say. He was not lying. But Xu Zhen always felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he had no idea why he felt this way. Then Lysac suddenly asked, "Don't you despise me?"

"what?"

Faced with the sudden question, Xu Zhen showed a confused expression. Lesak also looked surprised: "I thought you would say something like 'What you did was wrong'... but it seems that you don't feel that way. On the contrary-"

Lesak's eyes narrowed slightly. "Perhaps you have a sense of recognition for my actions...?"

Xu Zhen had no answer to this question. He could neither confirm nor deny it.

If he said so, it was probably that. He had no other feelings. He didn't know how Lysak felt, and he had no interest in knowing.

In short, he had no interest in this. However, Xu Zhen had not yet come to this conclusion.

"Well, that's not important. Compared to this, I think you may have heard a lot about me from Jacklen, so I want to explain to you again - ah, excuse me."

Lesak sat on a chair in the corner of the room. Xu Zhen and Lim also sat on the bed.

The two looked at each other, and Lesak continued, "I let the monsters make trouble to test the magic I created. I think the effect is quite good."

Then Lesak told Xu Zhen about his previous activities, which were the same as what Jacklun had told him by the river.

Almost half a year ago, when dealing with thieves in the Kingdom of Shuter, he was responsible for everything, and he admitted it again. The result was outrageous, but he himself did not seem to have expected it.

It will never——become an ugly creature that looks neither human nor monster.

Jacklun sighed. Although it looked a bit contrived, it didn't seem like he was lying. Xu Zhen thought about this while continuing to listen to him.

"After that, I continued my research, and when I came to the capital of Sforia, I stumbled upon a genius."

"You mean..."

"Yes, the Russell you know."

Lesak nodded and smiled happily: "He didn't become a waste. My research has achieved results... although it may seem a little subtle now."

“Why? Were your expectations not met?”

"That's true..." Lesak smiled slightly disappointedly and slowly closed his eyes.

"Originally, there was darkness in his heart. It was a thick darkness that he himself had not noticed and had been brewing deep in his heart for a long time. I think it was this darkness that allowed him to maintain his human nature until the end."

After hearing this, Xu Zhen couldn't accept it: "Will things go so smoothly?"

"Sometimes it does. This just shows that the depths of one's heart are very deep and, in fact, immeasurable." Although Xu Zhen found it difficult to understand what Lesak said, he temporarily summarized it as this.

At the same time, he thought of a question. Why not take this opportunity to ask it?

“Can I ask a question, too?”

“You’re welcome.”

With this in mind, Xu Zhen asked Lesak a question: "Lesak, are you and Jacklun old acquaintances?"

"Yes, we are so-called old friends." Lesak's expression flashed with reminiscence, and he raised his head and looked upward: "If the trajectory of fate was slightly different... maybe the two monster envoys would have met."

"Ah, what does that mean?" In response to Xu Zhen's question, Lesak showed a sly smile: "It means that Jacklun also has the talent to become a monster user."
