Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

The events that took place underground in Valfermion were not exposed to the outside world and thus died down.

The magic tool's runaway accident in the afternoon was also regarded as the result of a failed magic experiment by a certain magician. It did not attract much attention and was handled just like that.

Sylvia, Alicia and others who were patrolling the academy had received relevant reports from Douglas who had returned to the ground earlier.

Although some doubts remained, they were relieved to hear that the mission had ended safely.

There were no unusual incidents on the ground in the academy and town, and it was said that Zheng Xin and his group's images were not being broadcast on the ground.

This means that Alicia and the others did not fully grasp the full picture of the incident, and they did not know that Xu Zhen and the others were involved in it.

(The incident has been settled. There is no need to worry about it.)

Thinking this way, Douglas decided not to reveal anything about Xu Zhen and the others, including the fact that they might still be underground.

"It was probably a little before the accident. I also saw Xu Zhen and the others after a long time. They completed their goal early, so they will set off soon."

"Is that so...then they may have already set off now."

After hearing what Douglas said, Alicia said this with a hint of regret. Then, Sylvia sighed deeply: "It's a pity that I didn't see him. Because of what happened two years ago, I haven't apologized properly..."

“We’ll talk about it next time we meet. Cherish the kindness.”

"Sister Shana...I understand!"

Sylvia was moved and hugged Shana. Alicia and the others seemed to be used to such scenes, and smiled bitterly as if to say "it starts again".

Douglas said something to Sylvia and then returned underground again.

The captured magicians from the research institute were all bound by magic restraints and could not use magic, nor could they use magic to escape, with the exception of Zheng Xin and Saya.

(I didn't expect them to break free and escape. After all, they are the masterminds of the research, so it's not impossible...)

Douglas recalled an incident not long ago.

The trapped Dagras and his companions were able to escape thanks to Esther activating the switch to release the magic wall. Then they took over Zheng Xin and Sayo, who were captured by Euglias and others, from Esther.

There were several cells in the institute for detention, which seemed to be prepared for the magicians who made mistakes to reflect on themselves. It was an ironic story that these two powerful people were imprisoned there.

Douglas and the others were talking like this as they locked the two men in the prison cell.

Unexpectedly, the two men took advantage of the gap when they turned around to release the magic restraints, making them ineffective. At the same time, the two men activated magic.

——Valfemin can be given up, but the magic of transferring to another world must never be given up!

——I will not lose. I will never let these ten years go to waste!

They left these words and disappeared. According to Esther's speculation, they may have used the transfer magic they developed independently.

“Now that I think about it, escaping might have been part of their plan.”

"Mr. Culler..."

When Culler, who had walked over at some point, said this, Douglas turned his head in slight surprise.

"Is it alright that you didn't take a break? I heard you put up a good fight."

"No, that's just a warm-up. If you get serious, it will be over in a flash."

“That’s right.”

Culler said this with a smile that didn't seem forced. Douglas sensed this and smiled wryly despite feeling a little embarrassed.

"Well, but compared to this, those two shady people, Zheng Xin and Sayo..."

Culler's smile suddenly disappeared, and a serious expression appeared on his face. "I'm afraid they took into account the possibility of escape and allowed your invasion in their calculations. The reason is simple. They are old and want someone outside to hear their story. Especially after decades of research. The mood must be very urgent."

Hearing this, Douglas opened his eyes wide: "Because of things like that... Although I want to say this, it may indeed be because of things like this."

“Well, that’s part of what makes old people annoying. Although I’m a little bit annoyed when I say that.”

When Culler and Douglas looked at each other and smiled bitterly——

"And the biggest problem is... it's not over yet, or even started yet."

Roland said as he appeared with Nelson.

"It seems that those old men will continue to live in the dark. They will not give up developing the magic of transferring to another world until the very end. Their only wish is to return to their original world."

“No one can stop them now. There is darkness in those old men, deep and unfathomable darkness.”

Nelson said as he pulled at his ears, and then Roland spoke again.

"Someday, there will be an event that causes social unrest. We may not be able to prevent it. Then at least we need to be prepared. This is something we must remember once again."

“Ah, I agree.”

“I agree.”

As Nelson and Daglath nodded in agreement, Roland continued.

"Especially this time, I did almost nothing. Everything is thanks to Mr. Culler, Miss Esther, and Lord Eugrias... and that monster user boy and his monsters."

"Indeed. I've seen it in the video, but this is the first time I've seen a spirit beast transform into a dragon."

Nelson said with a wry smile, recalling the past.

"Although it was a long time ago... I once met a monster user. It was a human female, just like that boy, with a monster on her head. Her name seemed to be..."

"Thalia... isn't it?"

Douglas's whisper made Nelson's eyes widen.

"Yes, yes, yes. That seems to be the name. Douglas, do you know her too?"

“We just passed by each other. But I had forgotten about her until I met Xu Zhen.”

With a nostalgic expression, Douglas closed his eyes.

"Maybe Xu Zhen is her... No, we don't have any solid evidence. It's better not to say anything now."

"Well, it was a long time ago after all."

Nelson smiled bitterly, but he was also thinking that Xu Zhen might be Salia's son. In fact, that was an indisputable fact, but unfortunately they lacked solid evidence.

The proud young Nelson remembers feeling a sense of wonder when he saw the woman. Salia had a unique aura. Although she was not very beautiful, she left an unforgettable impression on him.

Yet as time passes, memories fade, and it feels cruel in a way.

Under such circumstances, a young monster user who is the same as her appears in front of them. At the same time, those vague memories are awakened.

Is this really just a coincidence? It seems that God deliberately arranged it so that people can recall it. The truth is not clear. However, it also makes people feel a kind of wonderful fate.

Nelson smiled slightly and thought so.

"By the way, where is the wise man now?"

"Still in the hall. Those young monster users seem to be resting there..."

Nelson asked as he looked around, and Roland answered.

"Then, should we go and greet them...if they are still here?" Kuler whispered as he walked towards the hall. His last words were so quiet that almost no one could hear them.

The five of them walked through a long corridor and finally arrived at a dilapidated hidden door. Standing on the high platform, Euglias bathed in the night breeze and quietly looked down at the wilderness of the Kingdom of Oranje, but there was no trace of Xu Zhen and the monsters there.

Kuler seemed to have expected this, and said to Euglias with a smile: "Lord Euglias."

"Ah, Monsieur Courrère. What's the matter with you?"

When asked, Kuler first told Yuglias that Masanob and Sayo had escaped. Upon hearing this, Yuglias's reaction was "I see." It seems that they are not the kind of people who will be arrested obediently.

After informing others that there were no victims, Kuler asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Xu Zhen and the others... have they?"

"Yes, just now, they set off from here."

Euglias looked outside again, a gentle smile on his face.

(Thank you, Xu Zhen. I wish you a safe journey——)

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

As the eastern sky gradually brightened, Xu Zhen and his companions were riding on Foreo, who had turned into a dragon, and flying across the plains of the Kingdom of Oranje.

"Foreo, how do you feel?"

"No problem. I absorbed a lot of magic power and I'm full of energy!"

As Xu Zhen spoke, Foreo answered in a good mood.

"It's the same for us. Even if the enemy here suddenly attacks, we can transform again and fight vigorously!"

"Meow!"

“Hoo-meow!”

As soon as Lati finished speaking, Lopur and Lim also expressed their agreement through shouting. After the battle, Xu Zhen and his companions rested in the hall. But unexpectedly, the monsters recovered quickly.

They didn't take much damage in the battle with Sayo and Zheng Xin, plus that hall was filled with more magic power than the underground passage, and they were able to absorb a lot of it easily, which might be the reason.

The monsters didn't seem to be forcing themselves, and when Foreo turned into a dragon again, he confidently said that he could carry everyone and fly.

Hearing this, Xu Zhen said, let’s set off like this.

"Well, wise man. Perhaps one day, somewhere, we will meet again!"

"Goodbye--!"

Xu Zhen and the others said goodbye to Eugrias and quickly boarded Fureo, who had transformed into a dragon again, and flew into the sky from the destroyed wall.

They wanted to set off before things got into trouble, and this idea was agreed upon between Xu Zhen and the monsters. Now, Xu Zhen and the others were enjoying the night sky of the Kingdom of Oranje. They breathed in the cool morning light and felt very good.

"Then again, it seems we missed something strange this time."

"Yes, it's always like this. It's best not to care."

“Can you really think so?”

"sure!"

In front of the always energetic Lati, Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. But he thought, this is also a common thing. Xu Zhen smiled lightly as if relieved, and then whispered in his heart.

(Well, there is really no need to think so much. Now, let's just enjoy our trip.)

Thus, another incident came to an end. But it was only one page in their journey.

The journey is life itself. Long and endless, they will go on endlessly as long as the road continues. Just as always, they keep going straight and unwaveringly.

There is no particular reason, they just want to do it. Because they want to be with the monsters, no matter where they go.

With this feeling, Xu Zhen looked towards the eastern sky. The sun was about to rise. The dark night would be illuminated by the morning light. Now, they were flying towards that light. Together with the irreplaceable monsters, a determined smile appeared on his face.

“Once I get to town, I want to have a good rest in a soft bed.”

“Before that, I want to eat!”

“Meow, meow!”

“Hoo-meow!”

"It's also a lot to carry food - that's what Lopur and Lim said."

“Haha, you guys really like that.”

“I like it, too, by the way.”

"Me too!"

“Okay, okay. I know.”

The boy and the monsters flew gracefully in the sky. As if the morning light was watching over them, they slowly rose.
