Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

This is something that doesn't require much thought.

Even if you can see far away from a high place, it is impossible to confirm the details with the naked eye, unless you have special vision or the ability to see far.

Alicia and Xu Zhen didn't realize this yesterday, which can only be attributed to the fact that they were too tired.

"Then let's head north again."

“Agreed!”

“It’s decided!”

Feeling powerless, Xu Zhen and his companions walked northward. Perhaps because they no longer thought about unnecessary things, everyone's steps seemed particularly relaxed.

————————————————————

Three days later, a carriage arrived at the intersection from the south. Russell jumped out of the back door and unfolded the map to confirm the direction.

"From here to the west is the great forest of Euglias..."

Even at the intersection, they could see the forest to the west. They had not expected to go there at this time.

When they were traveling from the Kingdom of Sforia to the Kingdom of Santono, they talked about going there one day, but they were just passing by. After sending Melnie home, Jill suggested that they stop by there on the way back, but Russell interrupted her with a sentence, "Finish the mission report first." Any digression before the mission is completed shows the lack of awareness of the adventurer.

Gill probably recalled this and apologized to Russell honestly. Although it was a legitimate reason, he couldn't refute it.

After the report, if there is nothing special, let's go and have a look. When Russell said this, Jill and the other three's expressions lit up. Russell recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“Russell, what’s wrong?”

"No, I was wondering how we got here before."

"……I see."

Oliver also smiled bitterly after hearing Russell's words. At this time, Jill's figure looking around came into view: "It seems that there is no one around here. I thought I would meet Alicia and the others here..."

To get from the capital of Santono to the Great Forest of Euglias, one must pass through this fork, so Jill was expecting to meet him here by chance, but unfortunately, this wish did not come true.

Seeing Jill looking down in disappointment, Oliver said with a wry smile, "Maybe they are already waiting for us in the big forest?"

“That would be great…”

Although Oliver's words were encouraging, Jill's expression remained unhappy. She still couldn't help but worry. After all, the other party was being driven by dark magic, and anything could happen.

“I understand how you feel, but there’s no point in worrying now. We should continue westward anyway.”

Hearing what Douglas said, Russell and the others nodded in agreement. Oliver smiled and said to Jill, "Anyway, everything will be clear."

"……yes."

Finally, Jill also showed a smile, Russell and Oliver felt comforted. They got on the carriage again and set off quickly westward.

The destination was getting closer and closer. This naturally made them more nervous. Especially Russell's expression, there was no smile at all. This was not anxiety, but the determination to be ready to fight at any time.

(Alicia... I'll be there soon. I'll be the one to handle any crisis our companions are in! Of course, we'll also save Lady Sylvia!)

Russell's inner whisper was full of determination. The fire of justice burned in his heart. For Jill and Oliver, this was already a familiar scene, and now it was even more reliable.

His condition was also noticed by Daglas and Melni, especially Daglas. As the leader of the Knights of a country, he also felt that he could not lose to Russell's determination.

Fundamentally, it was the mistakes made by their own country that implicated Russell and his people. At least in the end, he wanted to personally rescue the princess who was troubled by dark magic, and he held the reins tightly.

Melni, Jill and Oliver also regained their fighting spirit. Whether it is a decisive battle or just a transitional stage, it is always better to be more careful.

However, they certainly didn't realize that things were almost over. A few days ago, Alicia had left the forest with Xu Zhen and the others, passing each other beautifully.

"Look, that's the great forest of Euglias!" Melni's shout made everyone clasp their hands involuntarily.

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

The next day, Russell and his companions arrived at the Great Forest of Euglias.

I did feel Sylvia's magic, but I didn't feel any ominous aura like dark magic. It's likely that the magic has been purified due to Eugrias' power.

Perhaps Alicia and the others had also come to this forest. With such expectation, Russell and the others entered the forest. After a few hours, Jill felt bored from the bottom of her heart by the repetitive same landscape.

"...Hey, are we...going to be unable to leave this forest forever?"

"Stop talking and go. It's only been a few hours."

"Being lost in the forest for so long would make anyone feel mentally ill!"

Russell smiled bitterly at the argument between Jill and Oliver, but he rethought their current situation. No wild monsters had appeared, and this was a forest without any unusual features. No matter how far they walked, the scenery did not change.

It was not clear whether we were actually moving deeper into the forest or just circling in the same place, or even which direction we were facing.

They did bring a compass, but it was completely useless in the face of the powerful magic. No matter how hard they tried to determine the direction, they were always off the track without realizing it. If this continued for several hours, Jill would be forgiven for shouting so loudly.

Russell wiped the sweat from his forehead with his palm and sighed deeply: "This is just like a big maze. Melni, is this also the effect of magic?"

"It is very likely. I believe this is undoubtedly the power of the wise man who lives in this forest... Lord Eugrias."

"The title 'Sage of the Forest' is not undeserved, is it?"

Russell sighed again, and Oliver spoke up: "Miss Melny, you said you've been to this forest before. Was it this powerful back then?"

"What was going on? Because the situation was special, it was possible that a stronger magic power was applied than usual..."

"...Can we overcome this difficulty?" Jill asked with her head down, but Melni could not answer. However, her silence seemed to have indirectly given the answer.

"Whatever happens, we have to keep going. Just hold on a little longer."
