Although everyone's attention was still focused on them, Xu Zhen, Lati and other monsters no longer cared. After seeing this, Courtney smiled bitterly and decided not to care either.

Even though they were taken with Lati and others at the checkpoint, they caused surprise, but they were not suspected in a bad direction and successfully obtained permission to cross the bridge.

Once on the bridge, Xu Zhen was surprised by the spectacular sight that exceeded his expectations and could not hide it.

“That’s great! How can I put it… No, this is really great!”

Since it is connected to the mainland, its width and superb views are superb.

Xu Zhen and the monsters, who were experiencing the real situation of the border for the first time, had sparkling eyes and were very excited. Seeing their appearance, I thought it would attract attention, but other adventurers had the same reaction. It can even be said that fewer people were calm.

The cables that made up the huge suspension bridge were invisible even if one looked up, and even if a battle broke out, the width was very wide.

"But, Master. Based on the instructions just now, perhaps you should be careful." Lati said this, and Xu Zhen remembered the instructions he had just received at the checkpoint.

It is said that wild monsters will not appear, but fights between adventurers occasionally occur, so be careful when crossing the bridge. However, it is rare after all, and it rarely happens.

Courtney spoke to Xu Zhen and others in a gentle tone, as if to prove this point.

“When I came from the Kingdom of Santono, I passed through safely. As long as you are careful, I think it should be fine.”

"That's great. There's nothing better than not having a dispute." Xu Zhen felt that Lati's pacifist words really didn't sound like something a monster would say, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Then, just as they were preparing to move forward again...

“Hey! Who do you think I am!”

Suddenly, a rough voice echoed around. It seemed to be nearby. The expressions of Xu Zhen, Courtney, and the monsters suddenly changed from sunny smiles to nervous expressions.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a big adventurer was approaching two orc merchants with a red face.

"Could it be that something unusual happened?"

"Ah, haha... maybe that's the case..." Courtney smiled bitterly and did not expect an argument to happen at this time, so she did not have any other reaction.

It seems that when the big man tried to buy something from the merchant and tried to bargain, he became furious because he didn't get a response, which led to the current situation.

Courtney said this is not uncommon.

It is said that there are many selfish people who think that adventurers with strong abilities should be sold at a lower price. The big man in front of him is a typical example of this, Xu Zhen thought.

The big man slowly drew the sword from his waist and then swung it vigorously.

“This sword came into my sight…what?”

At the moment of swinging, the sword in the big man's hand suddenly slipped and flew to the back. In other words, it also meant to fly towards Xu Zhen and the others.

The big man and the merchants, and of course the other adventurers, also noticed this, and screams came from somewhere. If this continues, Xu Zhen will definitely cause big trouble, which is inevitable.

Xu Zhen and the three monsters were not going to bear it silently. Luo Puer quickly jumped onto Xu Zhen's shoulder, and Xu Zhen shouted, "Luo Puer, please!"

"Chirp!"

The defense enhancement ability was activated, the flying sword hit Xu Zhen, and then broke into two with a snap. The sound of the hilt and broken blade falling echoed around.

The adventurers around them didn't know what was going on. The two merchants stood there, too surprised to speak. The big man was also stunned, but he quickly recovered and walked towards Xu Zhen with an obviously angry expression.

"Hey, hey, hey! What the hell did you do! You actually dared to break my sword? You are so brave!" The big man pointed at Xu Zhen menacingly and walked towards him.

Suddenly, he saw Lopul sitting on Xu Zhen's shoulders with his eyes wide open, and then he saw the figures of Lati and Slakic around him, and this time he looked with some surprise.

"Hmm? What is that? Is it a monster? It looks strange... but it looks so fragile. Even with the slime, it's useless. You should at least know this, haha!"

This was obviously a mockery of them, but Xu Zhen's expression did not change particularly.

He didn't seem to be enduring it, as if he didn't care at all. To be exact, he looked a little annoyed, hoping that it would all end soon, but the big guy didn't seem to notice.

The evidence is that the big guy seems to be having a lot of fun. He seems to be enjoying what he said. He thinks deep down that he said something really cool.

The big man, immersed in his own world, pointed at Xu Zhen fiercely with his thick fingers in a slightly dramatic tone.

"Oops, we've gone off topic. I don't know what method you used, but you were able to break my high-level sword... (bang!)... What?" As the big man was speaking, a large hazelwood stick suddenly hit him on the top of his head from behind.

As the big man fell, a silver-haired young man with long hair tied up behind his head appeared from behind. The silver-haired young man ignored the surprised Xu Zhen and others, tapped the shoulder with a hazelwood stick, and began to teach the big man lying on the ground a lesson.

"No matter how you look at it, this is all your fault, Dan. Don't you understand what I said about not causing so much trouble? If this matter is reported to the Guild, we won't just be helping out for free this time... Hey, are you listening!?"

The sturdy man called Adam didn't react at all, not even moving.

Next to the silver-haired young man who was beginning to feel annoyed by the situation, a shorter young man with brown hair and a headscarf spoke uneasily: "Glenn. Glenn! Look at this!"

"What's wrong, Maquis? I'm having a good time with this stupid leader..."

"He is already completely unconscious. You are too ruthless!"

"……ah!"

The silver-haired young man Glenn finally noticed Adam's condition after being reminded by the turbaned young man called Machis. After a few seconds, Glenn cleared his throat, tidied himself, and then turned around and bowed deeply to Xu Zhen and the others.

“I’m so sorry. Our leader has caused you so much trouble.”

"Oh, it's okay. We're not hurt either."

"That's it!"

Glenn's expression softened after hearing what Xu Zhen and Lati said. But then he asked with a questioning look on his face: "Are you a monster messenger?"

"So what?"

"No... I just think it's rare. Never mind."

Xu Zhen was confused by this meaningful statement, but Glenn did not say anything more about the topic of monster users. Then, he smiled again and told Xu Zhen and the others in a gentle but clear tone.

"If you are going to the Kingdom of Santono, I have only one piece of advice for you. The monsters in the Kingdom of Santono have become very active recently. I suggest you be extra careful."

“Ah, thank you…”

"You're welcome. I'm really sorry." Glenn said as he dragged the still unconscious Adam towards the Kingdom of Stoll. Machis picked up the broken sword, bowed slightly to Xu Zhen and the others, and then left as if they had just passed by.

"What happened just now?"

“Who knows?”

Just like after the storm, Xu Zhen and his companions headed west again. By the way, the two merchants who were entangled just now are no longer visible. It seems that they took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Xu Zhen didn't know them, so he thought it didn't matter anyway, but at that moment, he found that something had fallen where the two merchants were.

"Well, that is..." Xu Zhen walked closer and found that it was a book that had fallen on the ground. It looked like an illustrated book, with a high-quality brown hardcover, and it was obviously not a cheap one. He tried to pick it up and flipped through it, and found many medicinal herbs recorded in it.

"Did those merchants drop it just now?"

"Maybe. Is it a herbal illustration?"

"Yeah. It looks like it. It's pretty clear and easy to understand. There are other herbs included in it as well."

“Poisonous and edible herbs… Almost every kind of herb in the world is included. The price doesn’t seem too high, but it seems to be a very useful illustrated book.”

"Um."

Xu Zhen raised the face of the illustrated book he was reading and looked around. As the commotion had subsided, the surrounding adventurers no longer paid attention to Xu Zhen and his group and walked over one after another.

The orc merchants just now showed no signs of coming back. Xu Zhen, holding the illustrated book, showed a troubled expression: "What should I do with this? It should be okay to take it away, right?"

"It should be okay, right? No one around me noticed it at all."

"In that case, I'll just take it without hesitation." Xu Zhen decided and stuffed the illustrated book into his backpack. Courtney next to him showed a strange bitter smile, but Xu Zhen and Lati didn't notice it at all.

"Okay, let's go. The Kingdom of Santono is almost there!" In response to Xu Zhen's call, Courtney and the monsters responded in high spirits.

They squinted their eyes in the slanting sunlight and ran as fast as they could towards the Kingdom of Santono in the west. On the way, they passed by a figure in a burgundy robe, but Xu Zhen and the others didn't notice it at all.

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

"Well... have they safely reached the Kingdom of Santono..." Lesak, who was wearing a burgundy robe, said softly with a smile.

It wasn't a sharp smile like one hunting prey, but one of pure curiosity.

(They, including the people around them, did not seem to notice that the sword of the sturdy man was a special product made of high-quality materials. Being able to break it easily... that fairy ship was also an existence that should not be underestimated.)

The transformed goblins, the fire-breathing slime variants, and the defensively enhanced fairy ships. With these three distinctive creatures, how could Xu Zhen, as a monster messenger, not pay attention to Lesak?

This is even more true since the profession of monster user is not easily accepted in society.

(He was just passing by. But his actions would cause changes in other things.)

Although the current actions are just small ones, Lesak is very curious about what kind of impact these actions will have on the surroundings in the future.
