Travel to another world and become a monster messenger
Chapter 26 The gears that drive the times forward
Li Ke and Fana were also happy about this idea, because they thought that in other countries, their parents' reputation was not good, so they would not be so easily accepted.
However, their expectations were completely subverted, and people smiled at them so warmly, which was completely unexpected.
Although they did feel comfortable, they were the royal family of the Kingdom of Shuter after all. They could not stay in other countries forever, so they politely declined the proposal to extend their stay.
Under such circumstances, a nobleman told them about the rumors he had heard recently. The two men opened their eyes wide in surprise and asked the man about it.
A detailed conversation unfolded, and the subject turned entirely to the content of the rumor.
"It is said that a bandit group attacked the capital of the Kingdom of Shuter... Did the Kingdom really win?"
"Yes, that is undoubtedly true, your Excellency..."
The noble man who was questioned by Rick nodded repeatedly with cold sweat. After that, the noble man was released and left the party in a hurry without anyone noticing him.
Fauna, wearing a gorgeous dress, walked over to the anxious Rick and said, "Please calm down, brother. Since the Kingdom has won, shouldn't we be happy about it? Or... do you have any doubts?"
"No, I have no doubts. I'm just a little worried about my father..."
Fana showed a worried expression, and Riku replied with a wry smile.
"Are you worrying too much? That great victory is just one of the things that father can show off in the future. I don't think it is a sign of something big to happen."
“It would be nice if that were the case.”
If Fana was right, then it was no big deal. As a prince and heir to the throne, he should be happy about the victory of his motherland.
However, Rick still felt uneasy. He wanted to be happy about the victory, but he couldn't. A sense of uneasiness always lingered in his heart, worrying that his father might have done something bad.
With this feeling, Rick drank the drink in the glass, put it on the table, and walked out.
"Brother, where are you going?" Fana asked.
"Go and enjoy the night breeze."
Hearing Fana's question, Li Ke answered while walking, and then walked to the balcony. A bright call came from behind: "Sister Fana!" This is the voice of Princess Sforia, who just turned twelve this year.
(Although she has a brother, she doesn’t have a sister. As a sister-like existence of similar age, she is very attached to Fana.)
Princess Sforia is elegant, well-educated, and always puts the country at heart. This is Lik's impression of her over the past few months.
However, there were times when she showed her flaws. She seemed to be hiding something dark. She behaved so well and didn't let those things show up, which made Rick sigh in his heart.
By the way, Li Ke didn't have any special thoughts about this matter.
As a royal family, it is normal to have one or two dark secrets. On the contrary, those who are pure and flawless are rare, Li Ke believes.
To build a country, it is not enough to be gorgeous. If you are not prepared to bear some ugliness and filth, the country may be destroyed in an instant.
It was because of this that Riku realized his own thoughts. He had always believed that all this was because his father was Zeke. Without his father's influence, he would almost certainly not be able to see through the darkness of the Sforia Princess.
(Although he doesn’t care about the darkness she hides, as an outsider, I do care… Never mind, I’m more concerned about my father than these.)
Rick's mind flashed with the image of his father, King Shuter. He and Fana both knew that the king had great ambitions.
Of course, as a ruling country, it is inevitable to have a certain degree of ambition. But Lick believes that excessive ambition may not only lead to the demise of the country, but also have an impact on the entire world.
He felt that his father's ambition was growing day by day and had reached a point of no return, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Lick was worried that victory in this large-scale battle might become the fuse for a volcanic eruption.
(I can’t calm down no matter what. I wish it was nothing…)
Although Li Ke prayed like this, he felt strongly deep in his heart that this premonition might develop in a very bad direction.

The king revealed the contents of the scroll to the minister, who flipped through it in panic: "A summon to another world? Is this true?"
“Why would we lie in this situation? Or do you not believe me?”
“No, no, I didn’t mean that!” The minister looked at the king nervously, but the king seemed to think it didn’t matter.
First, the king continued, "Even that Esther couldn't decipher the contents of the scroll. The words he used were very special. So I tried to read it, and I didn't expect that I could read it easily. This is no wonder, because those words were only passed down to people of royal blood."
The king ignored the surprised minister and continued, "That is to say, from generation to generation, the secret of summoning magic from another world is only passed down to members of the royal family. You should also know what this means, right?"
"In order to prevent it from being leaked to the outside world, it can only be transmitted in this way, right?"
The king agreed with the minister's answer. "That's right. Decades ago, after the end of the World War, the magic of summoning another world was called 'taboo' and sealed. Just because our country performed summoning from another world, the war escalated pointlessly. This is the conclusion they came to."
“How arrogant! As far as I know, it was other countries that launched the attack first!” The angry minister was stopped by the king who gently raised his right hand: “Minister, I understand how you feel, but how about calming down a little?”
"I am very sorry to interrupt the King."
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
"Yes!" The minister still showed his excellent waist scarf skills, but no one complained. Even if someone complained, they would only be severely reprimanded. For Nelson and Esther, it was undoubtedly the latter.
By the way, when the king said this, his expression did not change, and he seemed to be going to continue to talk as if nothing had happened. I don't know whether he thought this was a common thing or he had other thoughts in his mind, but I can't figure it out at all.
The king coughed lightly, looked back at the scroll, and said, "Let's get back to the topic. All we know now is the title of the scroll. It will take time to decipher the mystery within."
"Oh, wait a minute! From what the king said, it seems that you intend to handle the other world summoning magic yourself? "The minister felt as if he was talking nonsense.
Indeed, he was very willing to do his best for the country, but when it came to actually touching the taboos, he felt that he had not yet fallen to that level.
The minister had always used a double response to express his agreement with the king, but this time he was very confused.
The king noticed this and murmured his agreement. He then said, "It seems that it is too early to advance this topic now. I will keep it for the time being. Let's end this topic now."
The king picked up the scroll and stood up, but the minister remained seated, looking a little embarrassed. The topic was suddenly interrupted and he didn't know how to respond.
But the minister felt that he had to say something, so he tried his best to squeeze out a sentence from his stomach and tried to say it to the king: "Then, the king...that..."
"There's nothing to worry about right now. Give you some time. You can return to your post as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
His answer was so reflexive that even the speaker did not realize what he had said until after he had finished speaking. The minister hurriedly left the king's office, stumbling.
The king was alone, slowly opening the curtains of the room. He was dazzled by the beautiful blue sky and couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Will the magic of summoning from another world... become the gear that drives the times forward?"
The king looked alternately at the scroll and the blue sky, muttering to himself.
The huge border connecting the Kingdom of Shuter and the Kingdom of Santono is called the Iron Bridge. It is not only a checkpoint, but also has souvenir shops, restaurants, weapons, potions and other props stores.
Although the sun had just risen, the place was already crowded with adventurers and merchants. Xu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
“It’s amazing. It’s almost like a small town.”
“Every border feels like this. Because it’s the entrance to the kingdom, it’s also a great place to convey the strengths of your own country.”
"oh……"
Xu Zhen looked around and suddenly noticed that he seemed to be the focus of attention. He tried to listen carefully and heard obvious whispers.
"Hey, isn't that a monster that the kid brought?"
"Indeed. They look like a human race, but there are also some strange things."
“Something like a little man with wings. Is that a monster too?”
"I've never seen that white furry monster before... Is it a subspecies?"
"But all three have marks on their foreheads. Could it be a sign of time?"
"Really? Then is that child an ordinary monster user?"
“That’s impossible. Because it’s a neglected profession?”
“Indeed…haha!”
Hearing these words, Xu Zhen's expression did not change, and he said softly: "It seems that we are very conspicuous."
"Yeah, yeah... Is it weird to walk with a monster?"
"Maybe that's it. Forget it, let's cross the bridge quickly." Xu Zhen urged Courtney and others to walk towards the checkpoint. Fortunately, there were not many people in line, so they could cross the bridge quickly.
