Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

As Cece spoke, she tightened her grip on the wand in her hand. At this time, Greg smiled and said, "I was indeed surprised when you two proposed to go together. But you two showed a serious attitude, so I agreed."

Xu Zhen and the others nodded after hearing this, expressing their understanding: "I understand what Courtney is thinking."

"Well... I'm really sorry for bringing this up so suddenly..."

Moreover, they had only met in the capital of Sforia for a few months, and they were feeling a little disappointed. The situation they had been expecting changed immediately.

Although he knew that this behavior was not good, and even felt that he might be disliked, Xu Zhen smiled easily: "It doesn't matter, it's not the end. Well, it's a bit lonely though."

"The master's friend will never change."

"That's right."

After hearing what Xu Zhen and Lati said, Courtney smiled happily: "Thank you. Can we go on adventures together again in the future?"

"certainly!"

Then the two shook hands. Cece said softly, "This is a beautiful friendship," with tears in her eyes. Greg nodded, smiled and raised his right hand: "Sorry, I also have a request, can I?"

"What request?" Xu Zhen replied. Greg coughed and straightened his posture: "What I want to say is...Xu Zhen, I want Slakic to join our team."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen looked at Slakic and found that he was the most shocked. Obviously, unlike Courtney, this was the first time he heard this proposal.

Xu Zhen asked: "Slakic? Is there any special reason for this?"

"No. It's simple. We just fought together in the forest, and I really like him. I want to explore the path of the Fire Messenger with him." Greg looked directly at Xu Zhen and said. He expressed his sincere wish without any concealment.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Zhen smiled slightly and looked at Slakic again: "What do you think? Slakic, what do you want to do?"

When Xu Zhen asked in a gentle voice, Slakic showed a troubled expression. Xu Zhen stroked Slakic's head and said, "Don't worry about us. Slakic, do whatever you want."

Then, the other monsters also began to encourage Slakic. Finally, Slakic raised his head with a determined look.

“Piki, Piki!”

“It said it wanted to be stronger.”

Hearing Lati's translation, Xu Zhen nodded slowly: "...Is that so? Then you should go with Mr. Greg. I want to enjoy traveling more than pursuing strength."

Then Xu Zhen picked up Slakic and stood up in front of Greg: "Mr. Greg. Can I entrust my Slakic to you?"

"Ah, I'd love to accept that!" Greg gave Slakic a thumbs up and smiled as he took it.

By the way, Ceci has also decided to go along, and Greg's team, joined by Courtney and Slagic, will set off from the Land of Elves early tomorrow morning.

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

The next morning, in the cold air, Xu Zhen, the monsters and Sergio went to the entrance of the village to see Greg and the others off.

One of Greg's injured companions seemed to have only minor injuries, so the trip should not be affected. The addition of two people and a small monster made the team larger and more lively, the young swordsman said with a wry smile.

While Greg and other partners were saying goodbye next to Sergio, Xu Zhen and others were saying goodbye to Slakic and Courtney.

"Come on, Slakic."

“Looking forward to seeing you again.”

“Squeak.”

“Woo woo.”

“Have a nice trip.”

Fuleo also said goodbye formally. These words might only be heard by the monsters and Xu Zhen. Slakić seemed to agree with their cheers.

"Piki!" it called out encouragingly.

“Bye, Courtney.”

"Yes. Xu Zhen, you guys should take care of yourselves too. Hope to see you again someday."

The two shook hands again and said goodbye. At the same time, Courtney also shook hands with Lati and Lopul, while Sisi bowed to Sergio.

“Elder, thank you very much for your care.”

"It is finally time to leave the nest. I hope that one day you will become strong enough for me to see you."

"Yes!"

Then Greg and his team set off. Xu Zhen and his team waved goodbye. They didn't even look back, perhaps because they felt that they would be even more reluctant to leave if they looked back.

Finally, their figures became smaller and smaller, and Xu Zhen and the others' hands naturally dropped. Then they fell into silence for a while. There was a void in their hearts, and they couldn't think of anything.

"Then let's go back too." Sergio said this, turned around and started walking, and Xu Zhen and the others followed him. They had already had breakfast, so they just told Sergio that they were going to take a walk in the village, and then they separated.

Xu Zhen didn't want to go back to the mansion yet. He wanted to enjoy the air outside for a while longer. Although the monsters were on Xu Zhen's shoulders or head as usual, it felt like one was missing. Maybe Lati and the others felt the same way. Their expressions were not very good.

"Xu Zhen?"

Being called suddenly, Xu Zhen turned around in surprise and saw Alicia standing there.

"What's up? Take a walk?"

"Ah, um. Um..."

Xu Zhen hesitated a little when speaking, and Alicia tilted her head. After she heard what had happened from last night to this morning, she nodded: "It seems that saying goodbye to Slakic is more difficult than you thought."

"... Maybe." Xu Zhen thought with a wry smile. They had been together since the beginning of the journey, and Slakic had helped him so much.

He naturally recalled the times he had spent with Slakic. The happy times, the hard times. He thought they would be together forever. He never thought there would be a day when they would be separated.

He seemed unable to erase the loneliness. But this was not a farewell between life and death. At least he firmly believed that.

"We have to work harder and not lose to Slagic."

"Yes. When we see Slakic again, we must make sure we don't feel ashamed!"

"ah."

Finally, the depressed monsters and Xu Zhen regained their radiance. Alicia looked at them and smiled.

At that time, Xu Zhen looked at Alicia as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Alicia, how are you guys doing? I heard that you might suspend the team's activities."

"Ah, um... about that..." Alicia said hesitantly while scratching her cheek. Xu Zhen said, "If it's difficult to talk about, don't force yourself..."

"No, I want to tell Xu Zhen." Her tone contained a kind of determination. Then Alicia looked at the vast blue sky and began to talk: "Let me tell you directly. Our team has actually been disbanded."
