Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

By the way, the leader seemed to know this, too. His dismissive attitude was proof of this. A few minutes later, the leader gave his servants a new mission after they woke up. The target was the home of an old man who lived nearby.

The old man was once the court magician of the Kingdom of Shuter. He might have some magic-related items, so he was ordered to investigate.

A servant wearing a red headscarf stood in the middle and asked the leader in a stuttering tone, "Can we... go to that old man's house?"

"Didn't I tell you? At least bring something back to make up for the failure! I won't allow anything to be done halfway. Just go ahead!"

Hearing this, the servants were excited. They were happy about their chance. The man in the red turban clenched his fist with tears in his eyes and said to the leader, "Yes, we will do our best!"

"Please leave it to us! We will definitely catch that old man!"

“It’s natural to try hard, but the target is magic-related items, not the old man’s life. Although appropriate torture is allowed, don’t get the point wrong.”

"--knew!"

The servants raised their spirits and ran towards the other servants who were drinking.

Then, one after another, holding glasses filled with wine, with smiles and cheerful noises, the campsite that was quiet just now instantly turned into a grand banquet.

A man wearing a red scarf walked up to the leader. Looking at his happy companions with a wry smile, the servant whispered to the leader: "Are you still going to deal with that matter?"

"Don't ask unnecessary questions. Aren't you also interested in listening to that guy's story?"

“That’s true… But think about it again, is that dark businessman really okay? I feel a little chilling.”

The leader handed a cigarette to the scarf-wearing man who looked uneasy. “What are you talking about? How can a guy who lives in the dark world be normal?”

"Yes, but after all I..."

The leader showed an impatient expression to the scarf-wearing man who was covering his forehead with tears: "You worry too much! Worrying too much will make your hair fall out! You are a cadre, don't show such a useless face in front of your subordinates!"

"...That's true. I'm sorry, Chief. I went too far..."

"Okay, okay. Instead of that, go to bed. You have to come with me tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll be welcome then."

"Um."

The leader drank and said goodbye to the scarf man, and he walked towards the tent. His expression was getting further and further away from a smile, driven by anxiety.

(Damn it, what’s going on with this heartbeat! I have a bad feeling about it!)

It was a psychological effect. He must have thought too much. Thinking this way, the throbbing in his chest became stronger and stronger. In the end, the man in the red scarf spent a sleepless night.

The next morning, Xu Zhen went out with the monsters and took Courtney to the wooden pile in front of the house to play with the wild slimes. The fairy ship also fully recovered and became very close to Lati and Slakic.

"Monsters can be so kind sometimes."

In the cool morning air, Courtney smiled wryly as she petted a slime, which seemed perfectly happy and showed no signs of aggression.

Beside them, Xu Zhen, Lati, Slakiqi and the Fairy Ship were playing happily. This scene made people feel that the monsters were not dangerous creatures at all.

Xu Zhen held a few slimes and asked Courtney: "Is it the same in the Kingdom of Santono?"

"No, I think this country is also very dangerous. Or rather, this is a special case."

"...Come to think of it, Slakic also attacked us at the beginning." Xu Zhen recalled the scene of that encounter.

I was really surprised at that time. If I had been attacked head-on, the damage to my body would have been very serious. This also made it possible that Xu Zhen had psychological trauma towards the monster.

The same thing happened to the wolf monster that appeared next. If Slakić hadn't come to help at that time, the situation might have become very bad. Xu Zhen's body trembled as he imagined this, and then Kulair came out of the house.

“Just like Courtney said.” Culler said as he walked, seeming to have been listening to their conversation: “I think it’s a good thing to get along with monsters in a friendly way, but don’t forget what monsters are like. Be careful next time.”

"Okay, I understand. I'll be careful." After Xu Zhen answered, Slakic let out a roar, as if to say there was no need to worry because it was there.

"Thank you." When Xu Zhen was about to touch Slakic's head -

“Ga-ga-ga! Aaaaaah!”

Suddenly, a group of bird-like creatures chirped collectively. The slimes were also frightened by the sound and ran away instantly. Only Xu Zhen and his group were left.

Xu Zhen looked around in confusion and found that there were figures approaching from the depths of the forest. There were three of them in total. And they were holding swords, axes and other weapons.

"Grandpa, is anyone coming?"

"Look at that look... He looks like a thief no matter how you look at him." Culler asserted, and Courtney's expression became tense.

"Thieves? Why are they in a place like this?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm here as an old man." Kuler walked in front of Xu Zhen and the others to greet the approaching figures. Lati and the fairy ship were next to Xu Zhen, and Slakic was trembling while threatening.

A man wearing a red turban stood in the center, looking like their leader. On both sides were a man with a spiked haircut and a bald man, staring at them with bloodshot eyes, like wild animals aiming at their prey.

When they were looking at Xu Zhen and the others, the man in the red turban suddenly opened his eyes wide with a surprised expression: "That beastman kid... So that's how it is, you are still alive. Even the fairy ship followed you. This is a great opportunity to clear your name!"

"Hey, look over there! That goblin, isn't it the goblin from that time?"

"Ah, that's right. It's the fairy I let go half a year ago! Haha, I didn't expect to meet her in a place like this... Luck is finally on our side!"

"That's right. But we can't take it lightly! If what the old man said is true, that old man..."

The thieves' eyes became sharper. Xu Zhen felt that from their words, it could be seen that their targets were Lati, Courtney and the Fairy Ship.

Courtney and the others also noticed this and their expressions became serious. At this time, Culler said to the thief without fear:

"Looking at you guys, you must be thieves or hooligans, right?"

"We are not thugs. We have business with the former court magician. Please return our prey to us!"

"I refuse. I won't say bad things to you. Go back quickly."

Hearing this, the prickly-haired man and the bald-headed man showed displeasure: "Don't underestimate us, old man!"

"Don't be so arrogant! The old man will take action!"

"Okay, calm down. As thieves, shouldn't we always act calmly? That's what the old man always says, right?"

Compared with the two people around him, the man with the red turban looked relatively calm. However, the desire to find prey also flashed in his eyes, and the sharpness in his eyes seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

Looking closely, his hand holding the sword was also shaking slightly. He felt nervous when faced with the escaped prey suddenly appearing in front of him.

However, to Xu Zhen and the others, Lati and the others only looked like they were smiling and trembling, which made them even more frightened and alert. Kuler also looked at their appearance and felt that they would not go back obediently, so he decided to concentrate on solving this situation.

Meanwhile, the two thieves who were stopped by the man with the red turban also calmed down, took a deep breath, and regained their composure. Then, they smiled ominously and approached Culler.

"Old man, let's make a deal. It's actually very simple. Hand over the beastman, the fairy ship and the goblin to us. As long as you do this, we will specially let the people here go."

The red-hooded man said so, and the other two laughed. "Yeah, yeah. I think we are relatively gentle, right? We are different from those hooligans who take lives without mercy."

"You'd better not try to resist, otherwise... you know what I'm doing, right?" The thorny man threatened while raising his weapon. When the blade reflected the light in the sun,

The red-turbaned man saw Kuler's eyebrows move slightly, smiled softly, and said, "That's it. Old man... although you are not going to live long, you don't want to waste your life here in vain, right? I won't say bad things about you, do you understand me?"

In short, what they meant was "hand it over if you want to live", Xu Zhen and the others understood it immediately. When they held their weapons with fierce eyes, those so-called "gentle words" were meaningless.

Whether they truly understand this or are just being naive is hard to tell.

"To be honest, I never thought of obeying the orders of you thieves!"

Facing Culler's rebuttal, the three thieves smiled happily, as if they had been waiting for this moment. For them, it made no difference whether they obeyed or refuted. Their only goal was to take back the prey that had escaped.

Moreover, for those who like fighting, this situation is actually very interesting. They even hope to complete their mission and go home after venting their anger.

Now, they have the opportunity to act, which makes them very happy.

“Hehehe… What a foolish old man. If you had listened to us, you could have avoided all this.”

“Now we can finally do whatever we want, it feels great.”

"Let's get rid of them quickly? And search their house as well."

“That’s right. Even if we don’t find anything, as thieves we have to do something bad.”

The thieves whispered to each other, and Culler sighed softly.

(Hmm... It seems that I have to get a little mad to deal with these guys.)
