Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

But when he rethought it, Slakic seemed to be accumulating irritability. It seemed that there was an atmosphere that anyone could calm him down quickly.

There were no other monsters around. Although there was a wolf, it clearly showed no signs of moving with its companions.

(I remember my grandfather said that he had never seen a red slime. So Slakiqi...)

Maybe I'll always be alone. This thought crossed Xu Zhen's mind.

It may have had companions in some distant place, but for some unwilling reason, it had to leave there and may have been looking for a place of its own.

The reason why Xu Zhen was relied on by it was probably because Xu Zhen was the first person to help it. If it was Kuler who saved it, maybe Slakić would not be traveling with Xu Zhen now, Xu Zhen thought.

“Come on, Slakic! There it is!”

"steal!"

Xu Zhen came back to his senses with the cheers of Lati and Loppel. The battle between Slakic and the orange slime continued. Although both of them were a little out of breath, they still smiled. It was as if he heard the line "You are quite good at fighting."

Then Slakic launched another ramming attack. Over and over again, he focused on his opponent. Ratti became a little anxious when he saw this situation continue.

"Well, why doesn't Slakic use fire attacks? That way, it would be easy to kill the slime..."

"Yeah... well, this is probably Slakic's stubbornness, right?"

Lati seemed a little dissatisfied with Xu Zhen's bitter smile: "Even if I am stubborn, I don't think there is any benefit..."

"Sometimes I still want to do that. Anyway, now, let's just protect him quietly." Xu Zhen said in a calm and clear voice.

Loppel's expression was calmer than before, and although Lati was somewhat reluctant, she also remained silent with a worried expression as they continued to watch the progress of the battle.

Slakic's battle was coming to an end.

Slakic dodged the charge of the orange slime with a nimble move and cleverly made it crash into the rock. The opponent was obviously quite tired, and his judgment when dodging seemed to have become dull.

Despite this, the orange slime still tried to stand up. At this time, Slakic hit the opponent with a full-strength charge and knocked it away.

This time the orange slime seemed to have really admitted defeat and lowered its head helplessly, while Slakic jumped happily and cheered.

Xu Zhen and others who were watching this scene also had smiles on their faces.

“It looks like it’s over.”

“That’s it! What a beautiful victory!”

Lati raised his hands and cheered, and Lopur also let out a cry of joy. Then they noticed that Slakic and the orange slime seemed to be talking. Although it didn't seem like they were hostile, what were they talking about?

Xu Zhen tilted his head. At this time, Slakic came back with a smile, as if he wanted to convey something to Xu Zhen.

"Huh? What did the slime say?"

"Pi Yi!"

Slakiqi answered as if proudly. Then Lati turned around with a happy smile: "Master! That slime seems to know a lot of places for herbs."

"Is that so?" When Xu Zhen asked, the orange slime nodded confidently. This meant that the orange slime seemed to have acknowledged Slakic.

So Xu Zhen approached Slakic, squatted down and talked to him: "Slakic, can you help us get some herbs from that guy?"

"strange!"

Slakic replied happily as if to say, "Leave it to me." He went to the orange slime to arrange this matter. It seems that we should be able to collect the herbs. Xu Zhen thought so and said, "I have to thank Slakic."

"Yes."

Lati finished speaking brightly, and Slakiqi came back. It seemed that it also trusted Xu Zhen quite a lot.

Normally, it would either flee in fear or attack with a scary look on its face, but it was neither. It was clearly different from normal humans. It seemed like it thought it would be a good idea to observe us.

Xu Zhen completely agreed with the orange slime's opinion and said with a wry smile that it was indeed the case. Then, under the leadership of the orange slime, Xu Zhen and his companions came to a place rich in herbs.

This place is not too far from the royal capital. Although it is a bit off the beaten path, it is also a place worth exploring for budding adventurers.

Xu Zhen temporarily accepted the idea that this was a good place that was unknown to the public. At this moment, Slakic suddenly shouted in panic: "Piyi! Pikikikiyi!"

"It is said that in addition to medicinal herbs there are also poisonous herbs, so be careful." After listening to Lati's translation, Xu Zhen immediately stopped collecting, stood up and looked around.

At first glance, it is impossible to distinguish which are herbs and which are poisonous herbs. It seems that I can only check them one by one in the herbal illustration book to confirm.

"... Let's collect at least three kinds of herbs first."

We can't deviate from our original goal. Xu Zhen sighed and took out the herbal medicine illustration from his bag.

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

A few hours later, Xu Zhen and his team collected a large amount of herbs and poisonous plants. The orange slime that showed the way had already said goodbye. It seemed that it had agreed to fight with Slakic again. Xu Zhen was very happy and thought that he seemed to have found a like-minded opponent.

They found a large rock that might provide some shade, sat down and began to distinguish between herbs and poisonous plants. The three monsters were the ones who showed off their skills.

"This is a poisonous weed, and it's quite strong." Lati made this judgment while busy sorting out the herbs and poisonous weeds.

Since there was no record of poisonous herbs in the herbal illustrations, Xu Zhen could not judge for himself, but since Lati and the others said so, it must be correct. After all, the sense of smell and vision of monsters far exceeds that of humans.

They, the monsters, can sense things that they cannot sense. After thinking about it, Xu Zhen has never seen a wild monster fall down because of poisonous grass.

Just as Xu Zhen was thinking about these things absentmindedly, Lopul brought a bunch of flowers.

"steal!"

"Ah, really. Master, I found a rare poisonous weed. This one may be more expensive than ordinary poisonous weeds."

Lati smiled brightly, and Xu Zhen responded with a wry smile. What would happen now if Lati and the others were not there? Xu Zhen thought about it seriously.

At least it won't go as smoothly as it does now, and it may not even happen at all.

As an adventurer, that was a distant dream, and he would probably just spend his days happily playing with wild slimes. Xu Zhen didn't know why he could clearly imagine himself like this.

“Naughty!”

"That's why we can't eat herbs. We do this to increase our pay. You have to be patient!"

The shouts of Slakic and Lati brought Xu Zhen back to his senses. He shook his head and got rid of those "what if" thoughts. Now he was also able to do something. In front of him were the herbs and poisonous plants that had been sorted.

(Oh right. Since I have a picture book with me…)

Xu Zhen decided to take action. He carefully opened the atlas and began to check the classified herbs one by one.

This was actually a learning process, as he looked at the effects of each herb and whether there were any particular ways to use it that would work, and gradually accumulated this knowledge.

If there is something you don't understand, just start learning now and slowly figure it out. It's that simple. Just as Xu Zhen raised his head with a wry smile, he felt a strange sense of disharmony.

(Oh yeah... no monsters have appeared since a while ago...)

Looking back, the last one to appear was the orange slime. Xu Zhen felt strange and looked around. He could see the figure of the monster in the distance, but there seemed to be none nearby, and there was no sign of it approaching.

What on earth is going on? Just when Xu Zhen was wondering...

"The monsters nearby won't come near for the time being."

Suddenly a young man's voice came. Xu Zhen turned around quickly, and the man was sitting there calmly, just like he had always been there.

He was wearing a dark blue hooded robe, and his face was not clearly visible because of the hood.

Just as Xu Zhen was about to step forward, Slakic and Lopul spoke. They seemed to be expressing something, and Lati opened his eyes wide: "Hey? This person helped us?"

"What happened?"

"On the plains of the Kingdom of Shuter, after I transformed, he helped me and my master." Lati's words reminded Xu Zhen of the previous battle with the remnants of thieves.

"Yes, it is true... Are you that person?"

"Yes. It's good to see you're okay. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."

The young man took off his hat, revealing his true face. He had long black hair, blue eyes, and a thin face with glasses, which made people think of scholars.

He said with an elusive smile: "Nice to meet you. My name is Jacklun. I am a human who studies monsters."

"Well, first let me reintroduce myself."

After Xu Zhen and the others introduced themselves to each other, they decided to sit on the rocks nearby and talk to Jacklun. Jacklun briefly described his history so far.

He is a human who grew up in the Kingdom of Shuter. Because he is interested in monsters, he decided to become a "monster researcher" to conduct research.

For various reasons, he has now set up a base in the Kingdom of Oranje where the demons live. As a demon researcher, he is currently traveling around the world to study the ecology of demons.

"Monster Researcher is not officially recognized as a profession. Therefore, I cannot accept quests in the guild, which is a bit difficult to deal with."

After hearing this, Xu Zhen had a question, so he asked: "But, you should have some kind of aptitude, right? If you register with a guild, wouldn't that be okay?"

"... Well, that makes sense. If possible, I would like to do that too."

"Ah, that's..."

To Xu Zhen who was frowning, Jack Lun replied somewhat unhappily: "Due to certain circumstances, I was unable to register with the guild. Thinking back now, the resistance at that time was really great..."

Jacklun seemed to be talking about this nostalgically, and his eyes seemed very distant. Although it was obviously not a good memory, Xu Zhen still found it unbelievable.
