Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

The receptionist picked up the card and handed it to Xu Zhen: "This is your guild card, please keep it."

The moment he took the guild card, it turned into a purple bracelet and automatically mounted on Xu Zhen's right hand. It was exactly the same design as Courtney's bracelet, only the color was different.

Try to start it and you will see "G" engraved on the level column.

By completing the guild's tasks, the level will rise from G to F, E, and eventually to A or S. To reach level B or higher, in addition to completing tasks, you also need to pass exams, but this is a later story, so I won't explain it in detail this time.

"By the way, the highest level S-level requires special qualifications, and not everyone can reach it. There are only about five people who can reach it at the moment."

"Hmm...so the highest level is actually A-level?"

"Yes. Although it's a later story, if you can get A rank, you will be regarded as a powerful adventurer. It can be said to be the highest level in reality."

"...I understand." Feeling relieved, Xu Zhen immediately stopped activating the device on his wrist. At this time, the receptionist readjusted her posture and bowed deeply.

"That's all the brief instructions. I wish Mr. Xu Zhen a bright future."

After completing the registration, Xu Zhen returned to Courtney and Malgili who were waiting behind him. At this time, Courtney showed a happy smile and ran towards Xu Zhen: "This way, you have finally become one of our adventurers."

“Ah, let’s do our best together.”

Afterwards, Xu Zhen and the others moved to the rest area in the corner of the guild, and everyone including Malgili began to talk.

They reintroduced themselves, with Malgieri thanking Courtney as a father for his previous care and briefly talking about their journey so far.

Courtney mentioned that this was the first time he and his father had met in several years, and that his presence here was totally unexpected. He had obviously come from the Kingdom of Sforia because he had something important to discuss.

“Excuse me, I want to talk to my son alone. This is a family matter and I don’t want others to hear it.”

"I see. Then we shall..."

Xu Zhen was thinking about what to do when Lati pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, let's go and take the mission. Slakic and the others can't wait!"

“Pique!”

"squeak!"

Hearing Latti's voice, Slakic and Lopul shouted as if to say, "We are ready too!"

Seeing the positive attitudes of the three monsters, Xu Zhen's answer was quickly decided: "Okay, let's do it." After Xu Zhen said this, the monsters made happy sounds.

Then, they asked Courtney and Malgili for leave, and Xu Zhen and the monsters left their seats and walked to the bulletin board in the center of the guild hall to choose their tasks.

However, they didn't notice that a group of four adventurers were watching them with interest.

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

"Hey, it looks like they're starting to move? Do you want to catch up and take a look?" Jill laughed excitedly, leaning over the table. Russell held her down with both hands and said, "There's no need to do that. I just think it's fun."

"Indeed. Although I don't know where they found those rare monsters, at least it doesn't seem to be illegal. There's no need for too much suspicion." Oliver, who was sitting next to Russell, nodded as if he completely agreed with him.

Perhaps that was the case. Jill sat back down and suggested, "Let's go for a walk in the city today... How about that, Alicia? What happened?"

"Ah, it's okay." Alicia, who was sitting next to Jill, waved her hand in a panic. Russell asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? If not, you can stay in the hotel and rest."

"It's okay. I'm just thinking about something." Alicia tried to cover it up, while recalling the appearance of the young man she had just seen.

She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw him walking by with three monsters. She was very excited to learn that the boy was a monster user.

At the same time, the memory that had been blurred all of a sudden became clear. The image of him proudly leaving the guild with the monster gradually overlapped with the image of the little boy in his memory.

(That boy... No, it can't be...)

She tried her best to deny it in her heart, but her mood became more and more uneasy and her heartbeat became more and more violent.

Why did it turn out like this? Alicia couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, and followed Russell and the others with a melancholy look on her face.

Xu Zhen and his companions walked out of the city gate and were walking in the wilderness. The weather was unusually clear, and perhaps because they were on a slightly higher ground, the view was wide. A small forest could be seen in the south, and Xu Zhen was very interested in exploring there one day in the future.

"Okay, we're finally going to start our first mission. There are three kinds of herbs to collect, right?"

While walking in the wilderness, Xu Zhen checked his next mission notes. Since this was his first mission, it only involved gathering.

The condition for success is to collect three kinds of herbs and submit them to the guild. If you can collect more kinds of herbs, the reward will increase accordingly. However, poisonous herbs are not included in the evaluation range, so be careful.

"Master. It's time to use that illustrated book."

"Yeah." Xu Zhen took out the herbal illustration he picked up at the border from his backpack.

The atlas was classified according to the countries where the herbs could be collected, and he opened the page for the Kingdom of Santono, which detailed the effects of various herbs and their main collection locations.

Although it can be collected in the wilderness, it seems that we cannot expect it to have a healing effect. It seems that only in a place with lush greenery like the forest can we collect herbs with significant effects.

Looking around, Xu Zhen found a kind of herb growing not far ahead. It looked like it could be picked nearby, so he thought it wouldn't be too difficult to complete the task, so he said loudly, "Okay, let's go!"

At Xu Zhen's call, the monsters responded excitedly and started to move together. They quickly collected a kind of herb and compared it with the illustrated book to confirm that it was correct.

As he put the herbs into his backpack, Xu Zhen couldn't help but wonder, is it that simple? He began to have the idea that it might be completed soon.

However, this idea soon needed to be corrected. Although I continued to search with high spirits, all I found were ordinary weeds.

There were even fewer plants in the already sparse wilderness, and every time I found one I ended up disappointed, which was a huge blow.

Despite this, they did not give up and continued to search, but still did not find the target herb. Xu Zhen was a little discouraged: "I can't find it."

"yes……"

Sitting on a convenient stone, Xu Zhen and the others sighed together. The extremely dazzling sunlight and the extremely transparent blue sky were disgusting. The sunlight was naturally hot, and sweat kept flowing on Xu Zhen's forehead. The occasional breeze felt unusually comfortable for some reason.

"Skin!"

He heard something barking. It sounded like a slime, but at least it wasn't Slakic. Xu Zhen looked back and saw an orange slime staring at Slakic with a belligerent expression.

“Pippi!”

"Naughty! Kiki!"

The orange slime and Slakic seemed to be arguing about something. Lati watched the scene and nodded with interest.

Luo Puer held Xu Zhen tightly and looked at them, looking very worried. However, Xu Zhen couldn't understand what they were saying at all, so he could only tilt his head and ask Lati: "So, what are they talking about?"

"He's saying that being a slime and helping humans is disappointing."

"Oh." Xu Zhen seemed to be saying, there may be such a point of view. He did not change his expression in particular, but just said in a low voice.

Then, he just watched the two slimes quarrel quietly.

Intervening casually would only hurt oneself, especially if the opponent was a monster. Moreover, one did not have enough strength to intervene. Monsters had their own situations, which humans could not understand.

After traveling for several months, Xu Zhen observed the communication between monsters many times, and this is something he felt himself.

Especially since Slakic had strongly expressed that he wanted to solve his own problems. He had always done so so far, and he probably wanted to do the same this time. Xu Zhen thought about it and just watched quietly.

"Oh, it looks like a fight is about to break out?"

Slakic and the orange slime were facing each other, ready to fight. Although the slime's size made it difficult to tell, it was obvious that they were about to pounce.

Then--

"Pi Yi!"

"Naughty!"

The two slimes collided head-on. Perhaps because their bodies were all water, there was no dull sound. Even so, the intensity of the battle was still very high, and Xu Zhen unconsciously clenched his fists.

Slakic only attacked with body blows and showed no signs of using fire.

If fire had been used, the battle might have ended quickly. However, Slakic did not use fire, and could even sense a firm will not to use it.

This is just Xu Zhen's speculation, but he believes that when facing his own kind, Slakic always seems to want to fight on equal terms.

It will mercilessly spray fire against most monsters, but for some reason it rarely uses fire against slimes, even when there are multiple enemies present and it would be easier to win with fire, it will not use it.

Slakiqi is a subspecies, not an ordinary individual. Therefore, he may often be excluded by other slimes. When Xu Zhen thought of this, he felt that this was not someone else's business.

(The feeling of being avoided by someone who is not normal, whether it is a human or a monster, is the same.)

He recalled the first time he met Slakic. At that time, Slakic attacked him as soon as they met. Xu Zhen had just arrived in the other world and deeply believed that it was a wild monster.
