Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Courtney looked back and shouted, "Hurry up!" His voice seemed unusually loud.

“I’m not sure what happened, but I think it’s better for us to leave quickly.”

"Ah, um...wait for us, don't walk so fast!"

Although a little confused, Xu Zhen and Lati still chased after them and soon caught up with Courtney and the others. Courtney was panting, probably because she had just fought.

Xu Zhen took Slakic from Courtney and ran while holding it. He looked so energetic that Courtney couldn't help but feel puzzled.

(Forget it, let’s not worry about this for now. Anyway, I’ll think about it slowly later.)

Courtney was determined and ran at full speed, regardless of the consequences.

The scene of Xu Zhen and his companions running westward was watched by two figures from a high place.

"Huh, they finally embarked on their journey safely..." The blue-eyed young man who provided medicine to Xu Zhen and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"This way, we don't have to worry about meeting people from the palace. It couldn't be better." The voice of the man in burgundy robe came from the side.

Although it was unknown when he appeared, it was not important to the blue-eyed youth. The blue-eyed youth narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold tone: "Lesak...what do you want to do?"

"That's a stupid question, Jacklen."

Facing the angry look from Jacklun, Lesak took off the hood of his burgundy robe and revealed a smile that could devour people's hearts. Although Jacklun didn't really want to know, he could probably guess something.

"I guess it's because you want to satisfy your desires?"

"You want to see something interesting, to say the least?"

"It's all the same anyway..."

Jacklen's gaze went from icy to glazed over, but Lysak didn't seem to mind at all.

"Well, let's not talk about that for now." Jacklun said, and raised a new question: "The three thieves who fought with the teenagers, and the thief army that is now attacking the capital, are all your masterpieces, right?"

"What? Those little guys are not worth mentioning... As for those three thieves, what's the matter?"

"How boring. The monsters who observed the situation told me that the three people were swallowed by the twisted magic."

Facing Jacklen who was staring at him, Lesak smiled softly: "...I am not as good as you, but despite this, you never really seem to have forgiven me, right? It feels more like surprise? Oh, you really put a lot of thought into it."

Lesak said this with a smile, while Jacklun shook his head helplessly in surrender: "I am completely speechless." Faced with Jacklun's frank admission, Lesak's eyes widened unexpectedly.

"Oh, how frank. Do you take human life seriously?"

"Not at all. I don't care what becomes of that country. And I don't care how many lives of thieves are lost."

"Oh, you are still as indifferent as ever..."

"but……"

"?" Jacklun's eyes shone even more sharply, staring at Lesak and saying, "That boy with the goblin... I will never allow anyone to offend Xu Zhen."

Hearing this, Lesak's expression collapsed slightly, but soon returned to his usual smile: "Don't worry. I won't let the young man I'm interested in get into trouble easily."

With that, Lesak turned and left. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Goodbye. I look forward to the day when we meet again, Jacklun."

“I wasn’t really looking forward to it… but it happened.”

“Same as always, haha!”

As the laughter echoed, Lesak disappeared in an instant. Realizing that he had completely lost the other party's presence, Jacklen let out a long breath and looked up at the clear blue sky.

"It's been a long time since I felt so happy... although the danger level has also increased." Jacklen muttered to himself, and a gust of wind blew from the east. Looking in that direction curiously, a stronger gust of wind blew.

I seemed to hear faint cheers of joy.

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

By the evening, the capital of Shuter was filled with a joyful and bustling atmosphere. The news that the Knights, Magisters, and Adventurers had successfully completed the mission of exterminating the thieves made the people of the capital cheer.

The imminent crisis has disappeared, and there is no longer anything to fear. Such voices are everywhere, one after another. Although the news has only reached the capital, and the warriors who participated in the battle have not returned yet, people can't help but celebrate.

The king personally approved a grand banquet lasting several days. The heroes of the Kingdom of Shuter are about to return, and we hope everyone will welcome them together.

The king's words moved people to tears of gratitude. Some cried and prayed, and some even said that they had always misunderstood the king, although it was not known whether this was a temporary emotion or a permanent change.

The sun sets, the night passes, and the moment the sun rises, the cheers of the people grow louder. The soldiers who participated in the battle are back.

There were no casualties, and everyone returned with smiles on their faces. The family members who welcomed them with tears in their eyes, as well as the bright smiles of the comrades who had to stay behind, warmed the hearts of the returnees.

No matter how much time had passed, the cheers and smiles never disappeared. Someone silently sighed that humans were such happy creatures, but this sentence was drowned out by other cheers and no one heard it.

Nine days later, people cheered even louder.

Nelson and Esther, taking different actions, returned to the king with the body of the thief leader as a gift.

The king and his ministers praised them as the pride of the country. This word immediately spread among the soldiers and adventurers of the guild, and the capital soon fell into cheers again.

Nelson and Esther's popularity was proven once again. However, they themselves looked a little relieved, and their smiles to the public seemed a little artificial.

Of course, no one noticed this, which was not surprising since many people were immersed in the hero craze.

Today, the royal capital once again held a grand banquet.

"Cheers to the brave deeds of the Knights and Adventurers!"

"It's amazing that you defeated so many thieves!"

“The knights and adventurers of our country are truly amazing. They protect us from the evil forces.”

“The Knights are truly remarkable and fascinating to watch whenever you see them.”

"I also want to train my body and become an outstanding adventurer in the future!"

Looking around, everyone was immersed in this atmosphere. By the way, the other adventurers and members of the Knights who were being entertained...

“Great! Maybe the Knights will come and recruit me!”

"Look! Because of this achievement, my guild level has been raised!"

"Captain Nelson is amazing. He received a special order from the king..."

“He is truly an amazing person. I have to stand by that man!”

“But it feels a little different from what I imagined?”

"He looks a little flustered and a little wild, not like usual?"

“Yes, that’s it. It feels like someone is manipulating me.”

"Okay, let's have a good meal today. We'll start special training tomorrow!"

"That kid is cute. Okay, use my charm to make her look back at me."

"Wow! The party is the best!"

In this way, everyone showed off their style and immersed themselves in various emotions. Although the sun was still high, people were toasting each other everywhere, and many people could be seen with red faces and happy moods.

In such an atmosphere, Nelson and Esther left the banquet early on the pretext that they were summoned by the king.

By the way, they were indeed summoned by the king, but the content was not serious. Because the dark merchant they captured finally began to confess, they received orders to conduct a thorough interrogation.

The two who left the king did not return to the banquet, but decided to rest in Nelson's room with a cup of hot tea.

“I always feel that they are a group of people who deserve to be celebrated…”

“Well, there’s no way around it. They actually did achieve that much, there’s no doubt about that.”

"That's right. Let's just relax for today."

"Yeah." Esther smiled and took a sip of the tea Nelson had made. Then he put the mug down and readjusted his posture.

"Well, since we have a rare opportunity, let's summarize the content of this mission. I want to sort out various things."

"But, to be honest, there are a lot of things about this mission that I don't quite understand, right?"

“It’s about putting all these things together and sorting them out.”

"Uh-huh."

Nelson responded somewhat nonchalantly, and began to think back to the mission he had been carrying out since yesterday morning.

"We found that thing... exactly a week ago, right?"

“Yes, we found the bodies of four men. A bandit leader and three of his men. They were identifiable because their faces were intact.”

“Indeed…everyone looks terrible.”

After traveling for a week from the capital, Nelson smelled blood, stopped the carriage, and began to search around. He found four human corpses that looked like thieves.

An ordinary person would have fainted upon seeing such a corpse, the damage was so severe. However, as Esther said, their faces were barely damaged, so it was quickly determined that one of them was the leader.

If the body was brought home respectfully, the mission entrusted by the king would be accomplished. However, the two felt that this progress was too simple and could not help but feel puzzled.

(We buried the other three bodies and decorated them with flowers for worship. In fact, it was enough to just take the leader's body back. It would be too pitiful to hurt them further. Although we were worried that the king and the ministers would blame us, there was actually no problem.)

Instead, they were praised for performing the worship properly.

Even when facing an enemy, he would not forget his feelings of mourning. As a follower of such a Knight Commander and a court mage, the king seemed very arrogant.
