Gil smiled and waved gently, and the fairies smiled and responded to his wave. When Russell and the others completely disappeared in the forest temple, Ross flew to Eugrias' side.

“Are they gone?”

“Yes, they are good people just like Xu Zhen.”

"It should be. The goblins and I observed from a distance for a while, and we all felt the same way." Ross nodded in agreement, and Euglias opened his eyes wide, then replaced them with a gentle smile.

“Has your view of humanity changed at all?”

“…Just a little bit. I still wouldn’t trust them openly.”

“Even so, this is a big improvement.”

Eugleas sincerely believed this. She was surprised that Roz's ideas, which had remained unchanged for many years, changed in just a few days.

The communication with Xu Zhen and the others had obviously had a profound impact on him. Euglias also believed that the same was true for himself.

(May their future be filled with the light of happiness——)

Euglias looked up at the clear blue sky and prayed silently in his heart.

————————————————————————

A month has passed since Xu Zhen and his friends left the Great Forest of Eugrias.

As they approached the border of the Kingdom of Sforia, more and more adventurers and merchants began to appear. Although wild monsters often appeared here, Lati and his companions could not even sense the existence of monsters, probably because there were people who could fight everywhere.

This is also an important feature of wild monsters—they have a very keen sense of danger.

"Ha... we're finally here, but there are so many people here..."

When he finally saw the checkpoint, it was also crowded. It had the same atmosphere as the border between Shuter and Santono, and Xu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

Looking closely, many adventurers and merchants were carrying monsters.

Although there were similar scenes in the capital of Santono, the number of monsters here was obviously greater. Although there were no marks of taming on their foreheads, it seemed that each monster was very close to its master.

“This is amazing. It feels like it’s normal to be with monsters.”

"Compared to other countries, the Kingdom of Sforia has a high tendency to coexist with monsters. By the way, the Kingdom of Oranje may be even better in this regard."

"Oh~"

After listening to Alicia's explanation, Xu Zhen's expression was very interested. Not only the stalls, but also the monsters with the merchants and adventurers were very eye-catching. Alicia saw this scene and smiled and said that this looked very much like Xu Zhen.

"Hey, isn't that a fairy ship? How rare."

“It looks like it was brought by the human child. It seems to be very close to the child.”

"Forget about us fairies, they usually don't get so close to us... Who is that guy?"

"There's a mark on your forehead? What is that?"

"Well, I haven't seen it either. Maybe it's a subspecies?"

"If that's the case, it's amazing... although it doesn't look that strong."

“Strength is sometimes not the only criterion.”

The whispers of the surrounding adventurers could be heard clearly.

Although he heard the words clearly, Xu Zhen didn't seem to care. He once again realized that Lopul was a rare existence.

He had felt this kind of gaze when he was in the capital of Santono, but in a place like the Kingdom of Sforia, even in its habitat, the reaction was the same.

He also heard voices with unknown taming marks, which was enough to prove that there were no adventurers who took up the profession of monster tamer.

"Oh my, is that Alicia?" A girl who looked like a magician greeted her from the table in the booth.

Alicia turned around and said to the girl in surprise: "Ah, Brigitte?"

"Hey, long time no see, Alicia. You look pretty energetic, that's great."

"Ahahaha...Bridget is the same as always."

The magician girl raised her hand lightly and spoke in a brisk tone. Her voice was relatively low and she seemed to be about the same age as Alicia.

She has long wavy golden hair, wears a wide-brimmed black tricorn hat, and a long black cloak, which is very distinctive.

Xu Zhen glanced at the girl called Bridget, and then asked Alicia: "Is she someone you know?"

"Yes, she is my childhood friend. Can I go and talk to her for a while?"

“Sure. I’ll hang out there for a while.”

After that, Xu Zhen and his monster left. Since there was nothing special, he considered whether to go to other stalls.

Perhaps because this is the border to the Kingdom of Sforia, there are many magic-related weapons, tools, and magical herbs on sale. They also sell the portable food that they usually carry, and there are even some different flavors.

At Loppel's urging, Xu Zhen bought two double-entry packages. Suddenly, he looked around and realized that he was already far away from Alicia and the others.

He thought they should go back. Just as they were about to turn back, a rough male voice came: "Hey, little brother. You are carrying an unusual monster."

Xu Zhen frowned and turned around to see a group of human adventurers.

The team leader standing in the middle and looking down at them looked burly, wearing exquisite armor and a sword on his waist, obviously a swordsman. However, judging from his expression and attitude, Xu Zhen really didn't want to get close to them.

"So it's a subspecies of the Fairy Ship. If we can possess such a rare monster, our reputation will definitely rise... right?" The swordsman leader shouted to his companions behind him.

They echoed, "Yes, the boss is right, the boss is really wise," and looked very proud. Xu Zhen really didn't want to pay attention to them anymore. Because seeing their looks made him feel uncomfortable.

Not only did they clearly despise him, they also saw Loppel as nothing more than a tool, which made him feel very ugly, even though Loppel was trying hard to live.

As for Loppel itself, it was sitting on Xu Zhen's head in fear, terrified by those flickering eyes. Lati and Slakic were staring at each other fiercely beside Xu Zhen, and they were almost going to attack if the other party said anything else.

"Hey, boy. Can you give us that fairy ship? Of course, it's not for free. I'll give you this much money."

"Absolutely not." Xu Zhen answered immediately, without even giving the other party a chance to show off his money.

Everyone around was stunned. Not only the men in front of them, but also the other adventurers and merchants who were eavesdropping all opened their mouths wide in astonishment.
