Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Confused, Courtney asked Culler: "So... do you still have feelings for the court magician?"

"Of course not. I was just a pawn in the hands of the king. Those days were really painful, depressing and difficult. So painful that I almost forgot what happiness felt like."

Kuler looked around with a wry smile and noticed the awkwardness of Xu Zhen and the others. She felt that the atmosphere was really bad, so she smiled and said, "As I said before, that's just a thing of the past. According to rumors, the situation in the country has improved. Although I don't know if it's true."

Although Kuler was laughing happily, Xu Zhen felt that he did not have much confidence. He even felt that he might be thinking about something stupid and seemed to be laughing at something.

At this moment, Courtney lowered his head with a serious expression and said, "I have also heard a lot about court magicians. But I have never heard of anything like what you said. In the Kingdom of Santono, there is not even a position of court magician. Recently, I heard that the Kingdom of Sforia will send a court magician over..."

"Oh, really? It's time now. The issue of sending a court magician has become a hot topic in the Kingdom of Shuter. However, the king and his ministers only complained privately."

Seeing Culler laughing so happily, Courtney couldn't help but laugh. No, to be exact, he could only laugh.

When Xu Zhen vaguely saw the dark side of Kuler again, he asked: "Grandpa, is the Kingdom of Shuter you mentioned the country we are in now?"

"Hmm? I see. It seems you don't know yet." Culler seemed to suddenly remember something. Courtney showed a frustrated expression: "I don't know... How can I even know the names of countries in the world..."

"There's something deeper going on with him. Just accept that for now."

"Ugh……"

Although he was unwilling, Courtney nodded. Then, Culler began to tell Xu Zhen about the country situation in this world.

"In this world, there is a kingdom on every continent. We are now in the 'Shutter Kingdom', which is mainly populated by humans. By the way, this continent is also called the 'Shutter Continent'."

“Oh, I see. What about the kingdom that Courtney is from?”

"The 'Santono Kingdom' is dominated by orcs. In addition, there is the 'Sforia Kingdom', which is dominated by elves, and the 'Olanjie Kingdom', which is dominated by demons. This world is mainly composed of four kingdoms."

As he explained, Culler unfolded a world map, which was quite old and faded in many places.

The moment he saw the map, Xu Zhen noticed something: "Hey, look at this map, there seem to be five continents?"

"That's right. There is a continent where no kingdom has existed for a long time. It is this continent." Kuler pointed to the continent just north of the Xuter continent on the map.

“It is said that the entire continent has become desolate due to the war. Of course, this is just a rumor and the truth is uncertain.”

Today, there are only a few small villages left there. This statement has been added. But how much of it is true is unclear. Adventurers and knights from the country sometimes go there to train, so it is not completely uninhabitable.

Its name is "Pound Continent", and although it can be passed through from the Kingdom of Shuter and the Kingdom of Oranje, the key national border does not exist and there is no ordinary means of crossing.

Xu Zhen found another interesting part in Culler's explanation: "Does the national border refer to the part that connects this country and that country?"

Xu Zhen pointed at the border map between the Xuter continent and the Santono continent to the west, and Kulair nodded deeply.

“That’s right. We have a bridge connecting the two continents. There are basically no ships, so there is basically no other way to cross the country except by transit.”

“So the only way is to walk? Is there no means of transportation?”

In response to Xu Zhen's question, Culler thought for a while and answered: "You can take a carriage... but basically, carriages are mainly owned by merchants or nobles. We should consider it on the premise of crossing the border on foot."

This is another moment when Xu Zhen learns something about the other world.

At least, the means of transportation that we take for granted on Earth, such as cars, trams and airplanes, seem to simply not exist here.

After learning that walking was the only means of transportation, Xu Zhen sighed inwardly. If he wanted to travel around the world, he didn't know how long it would take.

"Well, if that's the case, then let's do it this way." Xu Zhen sorted out his thoughts for a while and thought of another question he wanted to ask: "Speaking of which, what exactly is the white monster that Courtney rescued?"

"Indeed, I have never seen that kind of monster." Letty nodded in agreement. Courtney had never seen one either, and had always had doubts in her mind.

It was Kuler who answered their questions: "That is a very rare magical beast called a fairy ship. They only live in the deep forests of the Kingdom of Sforia, but this time it was most likely done by thieves and black market traders, absolutely."

Kuler looked out the window, where the fairy boats were playing happily. In the setting sun, their smiles were so bright that people couldn't help but smile too.

"The Kingdom of Sforia is the country of the elves, right?"

Kuler nodded in response to Xu Zhen's question: "Yes. The biggest feature of that place is the vast nature and the magical power. The elves are good at magic, and it is believed that it is because of that environment."

"Wow, that's really interesting." Xu Zhen murmured excitedly. He was just thinking about when to visit the Kingdom of Sforia, when Lati's face appeared in front of him.

Ignoring Xu Zhen who was too surprised to speak, Lati said, "By the way, what should we do with the fairy ship next?"

"Well, what should I do next... this..."

To be honest, Xu Zhen hadn't thought about this question yet. Should he live with Kuler or let it go? Just as he was thinking about this, Lati's excited voice rang out.

"This is the time for the master to show up! It would be such a waste to let such a cute child go!"

"...Let's let Lati calm down for a while, okay?"

Confused by the sudden change of mood, Xu Zhen tried to stop Lati with both hands. However, Lati did not seem to be willing to back down, and Xu Zhen felt that she was telling him with her eyes, "Hurry up and make a decision!"

When Xu Zhen was confused about this, Culler said lightly: "Well, having said that, there is nothing wrong with the decision itself."

"Really?" Xu Zhen asked.

"Because there is no rule that you must obey. The next step is up to you, Xu Zhen."

Xu Zhen couldn't keep up with the sudden development of the topic. She was stunned and unable to move. At this moment, Lati seemed to say, "Yeah, yes!" Her eyes were shining with excitement.

Kuler looked at the two with a wry smile and added: "Of course, if the fairy ship likes you, this is not a difficult thing. After all, you have attracted the attention of the fairies and slime subspecies."

“…Is it really possible?” Xu Zhen was still a little hesitant.

"I think it's a good idea too," said Lati excitedly.

“Even Courtney…” Xu Zhen seemed to have no need to hesitate. Letty looked at her with a bright smile, as if cheering her on for this decision.

(Well, there is really no reason to refuse...)

While Xu Zhen was trying to stop Lati, he thought absentmindedly: That cute appearance is indeed very attractive, and it should be very comfortable to hug and rub it. But he didn't want to force the fairy boat into the team. He thought Lati probably didn't want this either.

(Whether you decide or not, try to become friends with him first.)

Xu Zhen thought so as he listened to Slakic and the others' cheerful voices.

—The next morning, he had no idea that the house would be attacked by robbers.

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

In the quiet mountains, there is a group of bandits who camp around a blazing bonfire late at night. This scene should be lively every day.

However, the atmosphere tonight was very bad. Several bandits were being reprimanded by their leader for letting Courtney and others go. The bandits kneeling in front of the leader looked very scared, and some of them seemed like they would cry at any moment.

The leader stood up, bloodshot eyes flashing, and waved his right fist angrily. His excellent punching action made his men fly away one after another, and then trembled and fainted behind him.

"You bunch of idiots!" the chief said angrily, "We took so much effort to capture the monster, but you let it run away! But I still have a broad heart. I will let you go this time!" The chief put on a smug attitude.

At this moment, one of his men walked up to him timidly and whispered, "That, leader? They have fainted and can't hear. And that monster was just bought from a black market merchant. We didn't put in that much effort..."

At that moment, the leader showed a bright smile and clenched his fists. Then he said to the subordinate in a gentle tone, "What did you say just now? Huh? Do you want to taste my 'fist of love' again?"

The leader smiled and clenched his fists in a friendly manner. The sense of majesty and smile were totally incompatible, and one could not help but wonder how to make such an expression.

“No, nothing! I just came to get tea and snacks!”

The servants immediately realized the danger, saluted nervously and shouted loudly, and then ran away in a hurry. The leader's smiling face and majesty were unbearable, which was what everyone present had thought about.
