Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

"Yeah, that's great." Sayid nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze to Barney and the children, thinking to himself.

(But then again, I never thought Xu Zhen and the others would come to this town...)

Moreover, it was even more surprising that the incident happened about a week before. But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that they came to the capital of Shuter.

He knew that there was an old man who had some relationship with Xu Zhen and the others, and it was very likely that he came to the capital by chance. It happened to be a week before the incident. That's it.

Despite this, Seid always felt that there was a sense of fate in it.

The same thing happened in the capital of Sforia two years ago. Xu Zhen and his friends were always involved in various things. The same thing happened in the Elf Village.

If you think about it this way, it can be said that they were not involved at all this time and were completely irrelevant. In fact, Xu Zhen and others did not even return to this place after the incident.

Where and what would they be doing now?

Are they still in the Kingdom of Shuter, or did they go to the Kingdom of Santono?

Considering the distance, it is impossible to reach the border in just two weeks, but Xu Zhen is a monster user. He can use the help of fast large monsters to move on their backs, which is a skill that can be easily accomplished.

The size and distance of the continents no longer seemed to matter. This was how Seide saw Xu Zhen and the others traveling.

"Hey, brother. Brother is a friend of the monster user, right?"

“Tell us about it!”

At some point, the children had gathered around Sayid along with Barney.

Their expressions are bright and very sparkling.

Although Sede knew about Alyssa, who had been a ritual medium at the facility, and she had explained to the children that a foster home had been found, they did not yet know that Alyssa had been a ritual medium.

But the truth would come out someday. The matter had become so serious. Seth thought that the children would hear something sooner or later.

How will the children react? And what will the adults - especially Fana, who often appears in public - think about it?

Filling the scars left by God's judgment is a difficult task. Thinking of this, Seder looked around at the children who had gathered together.

"Okay, first of all, let me tell you the story of Barney. I was able to meet him thanks to my friend who became a monster user."

While stroking Barney's chin, Seid recounted what happened in the capital of Sforia two years ago. When talking about Xu Zhen and others, he realized that he hadn't seen them for a long time and wanted to see them again.

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

A few days ago——after the magic power went out of control——.

The sudden and violent shaking made four people jump out of the cell.

"What happened!?"

Rick bit the iron grid and looked around, but he had no idea what was going on outside.

However, they could guess some things. The shaking was too big this time, not like an earthquake. Although it could be a natural disaster, it was unlikely. In this case, there were not many things to consider.

“Is it the influence of the ritual?”

“No, that’s too weird!”

Nelson's question caused Esther to panic.

“Maybe we are facing the worst-case scenario.”

"That kind of...father..."

Esther's muttering startled Fana, and she almost collapsed. Meanwhile, Riku tried to move the iron fence up and down, left and right.

Although he knew it was useless, he still couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

This shaking could not be limited to the Imperial Palace. There was no doubt that it had spread to the entire Royal Capital. If so, they could not stay here quietly. They had to avoid causing unnecessary sacrifices.

As the future king, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so Riku gritted his teeth.

Just then——there was a sound of someone rushing down the stairs in a panic.

"The situation is not good!" A soldier appeared with a panicked expression, "During the ceremony, a red light suddenly appeared... If, if this continues..."

“Calm down! Calm down first, then talk slowly!”

The guarding soldier patted him on the shoulder at the obvious confusion, and then he noticed Lick and Fana looking at him.

The soldier hurried to Rick's cell, knelt down, and shouted: "Something abnormal happened in the ceremony, and a large amount of magic power was surging. The entire capital was shaking. We don't know what will happen if it continues!"

"I see... As Esther said, this is the worst possible situation..."

Rick showed a painful expression. Fana rubbed the iron fence and said to the soldier: "Don't you have the key to get out!?"

“I’m sorry. The king is the only one who has one…” the soldier replied frustratedly. Nelson sighed and his shoulders slumped. “Why didn’t you prepare a spare key in advance?”

"Because the king said there was no need for a spare."

Esther thought they might not have anticipated this, but she had always thought that was no reason not to have a backup. What would they do if the key was lost? She guessed they might not have planned anything at all.

Those who enter the cell cannot easily get out. Therefore, the king said somewhere that it would be fine if they could get out somehow.

Although she wondered if this was appropriate, Esther said nothing. Even if she did, the king would not listen to her. She didn't think the king would listen to her at all.

(Well, if I gave up at that time, I would also feel a little unwilling...)

Or rather, this time it was bad for exactly that reason. But now, it was no longer appropriate to think about it.

“Has everyone in the palace been evacuated?”

"Yes, it is!"

“Then we will have no problem. First of all, we must prioritize rescuing as many people as possible! Prince Rick and Princess Fana are no exception, right!?” Nelson asked loudly, and Rick and Fana both nodded firmly.

"Nelson is right. We must not only move the people in the palace, but also the common people to a safe area! Contact the guild master immediately and have the adventurers act with all their strength!"

“You can use our names without hesitation. Human lives are the most important thing. Act now!”

Following the instructions of Rick and Fana, the soldiers rushed out of the underground cell together. The four people left could only pray for everyone's safety. Nelson thought so while knocking hard on the wall.

Fana was worried about the ceremony. What happened to Alyssa? Was the king evacuated?

The uncertainty of the situation made her feel very anxious.

——Then after a long time, the four men finally left the cell and found the key next to the king's body.
