Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

“Is it really that delicious? I always feel like it’s just a bunch of nutrients…”

"Really? I think it's quite delicious?"

"call out!"

Lati and Ropul said this, and immediately continued to eat the portable food with relish. Xu Zhen thought they were just like animals. However, they were all monsters, so it was not completely outrageous.

“We should buy more portable food from now on.”

"really."

Looking at Letty and the others continuing to eat with relish, Courtney and Xu Zhen both smiled.

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

In the southern forest that had regained its tranquility, the Dark Merchant stood alone. No, to be more precise, he stood there in a daze.

The thieves had disappeared. He ran out in a rage to find his missing subordinates. He thought the deal was impossible, so he unilaterally canceled it.

"Could it be that that guy... planned this from the beginning?" The dark merchant muttered to himself as he stared at the scroll in his hand, then walked around.

Here and there were makeshift tents, mushrooms cooking in large barrels, and the remains of a campfire that had naturally died out since no one had added more wood.

There was no one there. Because of this, it looked even more eerie. Even the Dark Merchant who had experienced countless dangers could not help but feel terrified.

"My mission... is over, right? Since the other party is gone, there is no reason for me to stay here any longer. This kind of scroll should be disposed of as soon as possible and hidden somewhere far away. This will be beneficial to me."

The dark merchant thought so and decided to burn the scroll right here and there. He collected the firewood around and prepared to make a fire.

"This is troublesome, this is something very important?" A sharp voice suddenly came. The dark merchant was startled and looked around hurriedly. A man in a red robe appeared.

"You...are so bold."

“Your tone isn’t right. My name is Lesak, and I’d be happy if you could call me that…” Lesak, who was wearing a red robe, said with his head tilted, but the dark merchant did not answer, but continued to ask questions with a serious expression.

"What happened to those thieves? It's not something that ordinary people can do to make so many people disappear at once. Did you use some special magic?"

"How clever! I moved them a little further away. The first experiment was a great success."

"You used that experiment to trick me into coming here and bring those rude guys together?"

On the surface, he only sold the scrolls to the thieves through the dark merchants, but in fact, his real purpose behind this was to catch all the thieves in one fell swoop.

Although the result was not as he wished, Lysack seemed satisfied with it and smiled smugly. The Dark Merchant did not deny it, and it seemed that his expectation was correct.

In contrast to Lesak's seemingly satisfied smile, the dark merchant looked very unhappy. Although he didn't care what would happen to the thieves, he couldn't tolerate being used as a wizard.

On the surface, Lesak did not leave any obvious results. Moreover, he has considerable experience in dark transactions and can be said to be a veteran.

A man of accomplishment was belittled by a man of no accomplishment. The self-esteem of the dark businessman was seriously hurt. He couldn't help but be angry.

However, Lesak seemed to know this or not, and still had that cannibalistic smile on his face.

"I won't take advantage of others. I didn't give you these scrolls for that purpose. On the contrary... the real fun starts from now on." Lesak said happily, and instantly put his palm on the face of the dark merchant.

"What do you want to do... guh..."

The dark merchant lost consciousness under the influence of the black magic. Lysac looked down at the dark merchant lying on the ground and sighed deeply, as if he had finally completed a task.

"Okay, now most of the preparations are complete. Only when you are successfully captured by the Shuter Palace... will everything begin."

Lysack's smiling voice floated in the cold night wind. Not long after, the two of them suddenly disappeared.

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

The three men walked slowly with expressionless faces.

"Oh, wait... wait a minute... we are very strong..."

"Hey, hey, hey... I'm coming..."

"I'll take care of those who get in the way..."

Their expressions were lifeless, making people wonder if they were really alive. Their color also turned green, clearly not ordinary people. It would not be surprising if they were considered monsters.

"Ouch!"

A monkey monster suddenly jumped out. A few monkeys followed behind, and they threatened together. It seemed that this was the monkeys' territory.

However, the three men did not react and continued walking as if they had not noticed. An extremely angry monkey screamed horribly and pounced on the man in the red turban.

The man with the red turban was unmoved by this, and he slapped the monkey with his palm as easily as slapping a fly to death. The monkey made a loud noise, rolled out, and then stopped moving.

“Hey, now you’re happy…”

"The power... the power is gone..."

"I will take care of those guys who are in the way..."

They were laughing and mumbling to themselves, and looked like they were in a state of mental collapse. Anyone who saw them would think so. In fact, the other monkeys, who were afraid of the three men, abandoned their companions' bodies and ran away.

Soon after, the monkeys' screams echoed around them. At the same time, the creatures that seemed to be monsters around them also moved together. The huge noise and movement gradually moved away from the three people, and finally nothing could be heard.

Only their mumbling voices and slow footsteps echoed unusually loudly in the air, as if nature itself was afraid of these three people.

As night fell, the capital of a large city showed its unique prosperity. The same was true in the capital of Shuter.

Stores selling alcoholic beverages opened one after another, and men gathered together to relax after work. In particular, there were many adventurers returning from outside the city.

Since they had to fight monsters or conduct investigations every day, which exhausted their physical strength and energy, the consumption of alcohol and food was very alarming. This was a natural scene in the capital.

Likewise, the prosperity of the palace has never diminished.

The soldiers who had finished their training made cheerful noises, while the maids quickened their pace, looking a little flustered, because they knew that dinner time was approaching and things would get even busier.

The evidence is that a large amount of food was delivered from the city, and the soldiers were busy around the food. They began to guess what kind of dishes would be for dinner today.

Is this in the soup today, or is that? Caught a glimpse of meat. Wow, saw a big delicious looking fruit.

At this time, a bright and lively scene is unfolding.

From the end of the corridor, two men walked quickly. One was a tall, muscular young man with a long sword on his waist. The other was wearing a robe and glasses.

The passing soldiers saluted, and the passing maids saluted hurriedly with a blush on their faces. This was also a common scene, and the two responded with smiles.

However, some people around them seemed to be uneasy about the appearance of these two people. They wondered what was going on, realized where they were going, and then suddenly realized what was going on.

The place they were going to was the room where important meetings were usually held. Since they were going there, there must be some meeting to be held.

The two walked in the dim corridor. There were no soldiers or maids around. It was very quiet and only the voices of the soldiers could be heard from a distance.

The two knocked gently on the door of their destination, adjusted their posture, bowed, and entered the room.

"King, Knight Commander Nelson and Court Mage Esther are here." The minister of the Kingdom of Shuter greeted Nelson with a sword at his waist and Esther, who was wearing a robe and glasses, and reported to King Shuter who was sitting inside.

The two men saluted the king and the minister again.

"I'm so sorry that Esther is late too."

"It doesn't matter. Because this meeting is called for emergency purposes... Minister."

"ha!"

As soon as Nelson and Esther sat down, the minister handed them the prepared materials and began to explain according to the materials.

"As you know, in the past few years, monsters in various places have become more ferocious. The king believes that we also need to strengthen our countermeasures."

“If we leave it alone, it will cause instability to the people. In order to maintain the peace of the country, we must consider strengthening our combat capabilities.”

Nelson and Esther agreed with the minister and the king. For ordinary citizens who don't fight, monsters are just a synonym for terror. Thieves are even more troublesome.

Monsters have more knowledge of combat than ordinary citizens, and they also have a spirit of teamwork. Compared to monsters, it is often much more difficult to deal with thieves. Even the Court Knights have been involved in trouble several times in the past.

"However, the monsters in our country are less dangerous than those in other kingdoms. In this sense, we can say that we are lucky."

"Indeed. In the past few years, there has been no increase in the number of monsters in the Kingdom of Shuter. This makes us feel quite relieved."

Hearing Nelson's words, Esther also nodded in agreement. However, the minister's expression twisted immediately afterwards: "What are you talking about, you stupid guys!"

Nelson and Esther were startled by the minister's sudden scolding. To these two people, the minister's expression became more serious, and he almost scolded loudly.

"Are you relieved because the danger is low? You are so cowardly. Do you still have the pride of the human race?"

“It is just as the minister said. Because of the existence of people like you, the reputation of our royal family is also declining. Don’t you understand?” The minister was merciless even in front of the king.

However, Nelson and Esther did not want to refute. Instead, they just silently accepted the minister and the king's reprimand without any expression on their faces. The king and the minister did not see the expressions of the two people and continued to immerse themselves in their own preaching.
