Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

At this time, Russell raised his head and looked at Douglas decisively: "Let's go to that forest and take a look. The sooner we explore the situation, the better."

"I understand. But don't go too deep. Sylvia now..." Douglas glanced at the queen before he finished speaking. The queen smiled lightly and her voice sounded calmly.

"It's okay, Douglas. Sylvia is in great danger right now. In order to bring her back to the palace safely, we have no choice but to take some tough measures. Perhaps making her unable to move for a while will be a lesson for her."

The queen's laughter made not only Douglas and Russell, but also the ministers and the king sweat and their faces stiffen. In short, the policy had been decided, and Douglas turned to Russell and the others in a panic.

"Mr. Russell, Mr. Oliver, please go to the southern forest quickly. We will be there later!"

"Got it!" Russell and Oliver bowed to the king and immediately left the king's room.

When the heavy doors were closed, the king spoke to Daglas: "Daglas, gather the soldiers immediately and form a capture team. Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to carry out some attacks, but you must bring it back no matter what!"

"As you command!" Douglas was about to leave the king's room to start the action, when...

"Your Majesty, can you allow me to go to the southern forest as well? I have a bad feeling." Melni, who had remained silent all this time, made the request with a serious expression.

The people around her held their breath and stared at her unusualness. Melni continued, "From just now, I felt an indescribable uneasiness and the fluctuation of magic. I suspect this is related to the temple in the forest. Time is running out. If we wait until something happens, it will be too late! Please allow me to go!"

Melni bowed deeply to the king, her seriousness evident. The king closed his eyes and nodded slightly, then turned to Dagorath again.

"Daglas, I'm entrusting Her Highness Melni to you. She is an important court magician that our country has brought from other countries. Please keep this in mind."

"Yes!"

Dagoras and Melni bowed to the king and left the king's room. Thinking of the upcoming event, which might be very big and complicated, the king looked up at the sky again.

(Please. Hope things don't get any worse...)

The king prayed earnestly in his heart, although he himself felt that it was just a futile hope.

"This forest...extends so deep."

“It’s even wider than I expected.”

A few hours after resuming their exploration, Xu Zhen and his team had already gone deep into the forest. Although they encountered a considerable number of monster attacks, Lati and his team were able to avoid the surprise attacks because they were keenly aware of the signs.

In the battle with the monsters, Lati and the others also performed well. The three roles of attack, defense and support were very clear, making Alicia and the others' movements more flexible.

Although Xu Zhen and the others were still immature, they would surely grow into high-level adventurers with continued efforts. If they hesitated, they would soon be surpassed, which was what both Alicia and Jill thought.

At the same time, the two were amazed at the potential of the monster users. They couldn't believe that these abilities were considered useless by society. They even began to wonder if someone was deliberately spreading bad words and letting these views spread.

"Ah, we have come to a bright place."

In stark contrast to the dark and narrow environment in the forest, the trees here were cleared and the ground was flat, making it as bright and spacious as a small park. Xu Zhen looked around curiously, and his eyes finally stopped on the lonely object in front of him.

“What is that? It feels like a building, but it’s too small…”

"Maybe it's a temple. Maybe it's a place dedicated to the forest god?"

The temple is particularly conspicuous. A closer look reveals that it is not particularly well maintained. It blends in with the quiet forest atmosphere, exuding a sense of weirdness.

"Perhaps, that is the 'Forest Temple'? Look, it's the one I heard about in the guild." Jill couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy when he remembered it.

"The Forest Temple... Is there anything special there?"

"I heard that hundreds of years ago, an evil magic power was sealed in that temple. But whether it is credible remains to be discussed."

"Are there 'bad things' in magic?" Xu Zhen seemed to be very interested in asking, and Alicia smiled bitterly and replied: "Although there are not many, they do exist. There is also magic to purify evil magic."

“Oh, I see.”

"But... isn't it too quiet here?" Jill's question made everyone's expressions become confused or nervous. Xu Zhen and Lati looked around and whispered.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen any monsters since then."

“I couldn’t feel anything at all. It was really weird.”

"Could it be the influence of the temple? The sealed magic power or something, preventing the monsters from approaching?"

“It is indeed possible.”

Alicia felt that Jill's hypothesis was very likely, but Lati was still a little uneasy: "But, in addition to that, I also felt an ominous aura... It felt different from a monster."

Lati's words made Slakic and Lopul seem a little scared. Xu Zhen felt that something bad was about to happen, and stared at the temple hall intently.

"How about we go closer to the temple and take a look?"

“Okay, please let me try.”

Just as Xu Zhen and the others were about to walk towards the temple hall, a strong wind blew and they had to avoid the raised dust.

At that moment, the ominous feeling they had vaguely sensed suddenly intensified and became a distinct aura, and the expressions of the three of Lati froze.

Xu Zhen looked towards the temple and found a female orc standing on the temple. The woman had a strange smile on her face and looked down at them.

"Hehehe... finally, finally found you?" Her strange and disturbing sharp female voice made Xu Zhen frown.

She was wearing fine armor and had a slender sword on her waist. She had an indescribable nobleness, but her bloodshot eyes and upturned smile made it hard to believe that she was still sane.

"Oh, sister! My dear sister Alicia! Sylvia really wants to see you!" The woman who called herself Sylvia shouted in a feverish voice.

Xu Zhen didn't expect Alicia's name to be mentioned suddenly. He twisted his expression slightly and looked to the side with doubt. Then, he saw Alicia's face turned pale. Obviously, she had some connection with this woman.
