Although many things happened, he still successfully completed the task and received the bonus from the guild lady. While thinking about how to answer, Xu Zhen checked the amount and found that the amount was obviously more than expected.

“This is a bit much, isn’t it?”

"This is to compensate you for the extra amount you have been involved in. It was asked by Mr. Douglas through the doorman."

"Ah, so that's it... I didn't expect him to formally apologize."

Xu Zhen smiled happily at the unexpected income. By the way, what Xu Zhen didn't know was that such a quick follow-up was very rare.

They should have received the king's apology and thanks directly, but the palace was too busy to do so. In addition, they knew that Xu Zhen and his men were planning to leave soon, so they felt that they had to act quickly.

The only immediate follow-up was to increase the bonus, and although Daglas was dissatisfied with this, he had no choice but to do so. Later, the guild lady heard that Xu Zhen and the others were very happy, and the palace felt a little relieved, but this will be a story for later.

"By the way, what are your plans for today? If it's convenient, I would like to recommend some tasks to Mr. Xu Zhen..."

Facing the friendly smile of the receptionist, Xu Zhen smiled awkwardly: "Ah, sorry. We may have to leave today..."

“Oh…really?”

"I'm sorry, thank you for your concern." Lati bowed her head politely. Xu Zhen also bowed his head slightly.

Although the guild lady seemed a little confused, she soon smiled bitterly: "Your active performance as a monster user has made the guild leader have high expectations of you... but of course we can't stop you."

She bowed her head deeply, expressing her expectation for their visit again. After Xu Zhen left the counter, he was surprised in his heart. He didn’t expect that he would be expected.

After all, he had only registered yesterday and had only accepted a few gathering missions so far, so the expectations seemed a bit exaggerated.

(Is it because I’m a monster user? Or is there some other reason?)

Xu Zhen thought about it for a while, but no answer came to his mind.

(Forget it.)

He suddenly lost interest and decided to reconsider his departure. First, he needed to find out the location of the Euglias Forest. He didn't know much about the vast area of ​​the Santono Kingdom.

As for what happened before, it was just that Courtney had always had the map.

"Okay, let's go buy a map first. Then..."

“Squeak, squeak!”

Sitting on Xu Zhen's head, Lopur patted Xu Zhen's head with his little hands, obviously trying to tell him something. Lati understood what Lopur said, nodded slightly and translated to Xu Zhen: "It said it wanted to eat the food it carried with it. It's really delicious, I want to eat it too."

“Pikki!”

Slakic also laughed and shouted as if to express his agreement. Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. These guys are always like this. However, he did consider replenishing the food he brought with him.

They were heading north, but they didn't know if they would pass through any villages selling food and groceries. Without a map, they had no idea of ​​the route, but they had to consider the possibility that they might not be able to buy anything along the way.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen began to look for a grocery store to buy a map.

"It's always exciting to set off, isn't it, Master?"

“Yes, indeed.”

Looking at Lati's smiling face, Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile.

——They didn’t know that there would be more twists and turns waiting for them.

In the King's chambers at the Santono Palace, Russell and Oliver are meeting with the King.

Alicia and Jill were not there at this time. They discussed it and decided that they should stay away from Sylvia for a while, so they stayed in the city.

After Russell reported this incident to the king, the king bowed his head and said, "I am very sorry. Please forgive my daughter for her mistakes!"

“Please don’t take it to heart. As I said before, we are all fine.”

Russell held his right hand with a triangular bandage and shook his head with a smile. However, the king's expression did not become more relaxed, but more serious.

"This time, Sylvia really went too far. I plan to give her a corresponding punishment. I also plan to re-educate her so that she can re-examine her consciousness as a princess."

"As parents, we also need to reflect deeply."

"……Yes."

Just as the king nodded, the door of the royal room was pushed open with great force, making a loud noise. Seeing the soldiers rushing in, Douglas gritted his teeth, with a grim expression on his face.

"Hey! What a commotion you're making in front of the king!"

“I’m sorry, Captain Douglas! But this is an emergency…”

"Even so, you..."

"It's okay. Tell me what happened, speak calmly." The king comforted the trembling Daglas while listening to the soldier's report.

The soldiers looked very panicked, and the king had a premonition that this was an emergency. And his premonition was soon confirmed.

"Yes, yes... Lady Sylvia is starting to run wild and we can't control her!" the soldier reported breathlessly, and everyone present was stunned.

The report also mentioned that she was approaching this side while shouting her sister's name while knocking down many soldiers. Douglas was pale, Oliver was groaning with his head in his hands, and Russell looked at his bandaged right hand with heartache.

“That foolish daughter…” Hearing the king’s mumbling, Daglas regained his senses and ordered his soldiers to delay time as much as possible.

As the soldiers hurriedly left the royal room, the king turned to Daglas with a stern expression: "I order you to control Sylvia at all costs. No matter what means."

"But, King, it may be difficult to handle this matter without getting hurt..."

"Who said we should capture her without any harm? The means of fighting are not limited to swords. I repeat, Sylvia must be controlled at all costs, understand?"

Under the king's stern gaze, Douglas turned pale but still saluted: "Yes! As you command!"

Douglas bowed briefly to Russell and the others, and then left the royal room. The king's expression softened slightly, and he bowed slightly to Russell: "I'm very sorry. I'm afraid we don't even have time to talk now."

"It will soon become dangerous here. Mr. Russell and the others had better leave the palace through another exit immediately."

"Yes, all right. Minister, please lead Mr. Russell and the others outside..."
