Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 97 I remembered an acquaintance

Was he just being lazy? This thought crossed Courtney's mind. If the tasks he accepted later failed repeatedly, this was not impossible. However, Courtney was unwilling to give up and began to feel anxious.

In this case, Xu Zhen answered Courtney's question with a wry smile: "No. Actually, I had to leave Santono because I was involved in trouble."

“By the way, the question is complicated, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t ask me.”

"Yeah, no problem...but I'm still a little surprised..."

Although Courtney was surprised, he was also relieved because he knew that this was a last resort. This feeling was clearly shown on Courtney's face, and Xu Zhen couldn't help but feel a little sorry and smiled bitterly.

Obviously, both sides are well aware that this is not each other's fault.

"But it's true that I've always been an F-rank, which is a bit... Maybe I should stay in this town for a while and try to take on some missions. It's about time I made some money..."

“I agree with this plan.”

Lati agreed, and Slakic and Lopul also expressed their support by shouting. Seeing this, Xu Zhen smiled.

“That’s decided. The goal is to upgrade.”

Having determined their future direction, the monsters once again responded to Xu Zhen's words lively. Courtney held the teacup with a thoughtful expression.

"After we finish eating the cake, let's go back to the guild and check. Although there may be almost no quests left, we can check what quests are available by level."

"Oh, so this is possible. Let's do it this way."

Xu Zhen was just about to say that we should finish eating quickly and go to the guild, when he suddenly heard a voice.

"Ah, found it. Hello, Courtney." An older woman's lively voice was heard.

Courtney was startled when he was called and looked around. Xu Zhen and the others also looked around and saw two people walking towards them.

One was an elven woman holding a magic wand who looked like a magician. She had an outstanding figure and exuded a mature and maternal feminine charm. The other was a sturdy orc man who looked like a swordsman. The orc man was someone Xu Zhen and the others knew.

"Mom...and Dad..." Courtney blushed shyly as she looked at the two people walking towards them.

In the crowd, being called out by her parents was really embarrassing. However, the one who called out seemed to have no idea why Courtney felt embarrassed.

The orc male realized this and sighed deeply before speaking, "Leonora. Courtney and I have said before and after that it is embarrassing to be called out loudly in public."

"Oh, Malgili, you are so silly. It is normal for a mother to call her lovely son."

“…I mean there’s something wrong with that way of calling.”

Xu Zhen wondered, is this person Courtney's new mother?

“…Ah?” Leonora showed a surprised expression when she saw Xu Zhen’s face.

But it was only a moment, so Xu Zhen and Courtney didn't notice it. As Malgili came, the attention was completely turned to her.

"Xu Zhen, long time no see."

"Long time no see. Well, we just arrived in this town today." Xu Zhen answered nervously, and Malgili smiled to show that he understood.

But then, Malgili's expression darkened. Courtney noticed the change and tilted her head and asked, "What happened?"

“Ah, actually I received another long-term mission…” Malgili sighed deeply again, “Your mother and I were called up together. We have to leave this town temporarily. I thought I could finally settle down a little.”

"Haha, this only shows that Lord Malgili is very popular." Leonora said with a slightly joking tone. Malgili showed a puzzled expression: "There is no need to say that. Also, you should also say hello to Courtney's friends, right?"

"Oh, what happened to me... I'm sorry, I was so careless and forgot..."

It was completely unintentional. Leonora forgot how to greet them and hurriedly adjusted her posture and bowed deeply to Xu Zhen and the others.

"Nice to meet you. I am a magician of the elves. My name is Leonora. I am also Courtney's mother. I have heard a lot about you Xu Zhen from my son."

"Ah, no, it's us..." Xu Zhen stood up involuntarily and bowed hurriedly.

Then after Xu Zhen sat down again, Leonora said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, we're leaving soon. Xu Zhen, please take care of Courtney."

"Eh?"

Xu Zhen and the others were stunned by Leonora's sudden words. Then Malgili cleared his throat and turned to Courtney: "Courtney. As an adventurer, we are looking forward to your performance."

“I hope to hear many of your stories next time we meet.”

"Then we'll take our leave. Sorry for bothering you."

Malgili and Leonora turned and left without waiting for Courtney and the others to respond. They gradually disappeared in the crowd, and everyone gradually came to their senses.

"Well, anyway, we can be together again. Please give me your advice."

“Please advise me.”

Xu Zhen and Lati held out their hands. Slakic and Lopul also called out and smiled at Courtney.

Courtney suddenly felt very happy. It seemed like they could have adventures together again, just like they had just a few months ago. He held back his tears and smiled.

"Yeah, me too!" Courtney held Xu Zhen and the others' hands tightly with both hands.

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

Walking on the crowded street, Malgili recalled his son's smile just now.

It was likely that Courtney would not join his family in adventure activities. Moreover, when they returned to the capital after completing their next mission, their sons would most likely be on a long-distance mission.

Margi had a happy smile on his face, but Leonora seemed to be troubled.

"Were you surprised to see Xu Zhen just now? What happened?" When Malgili asked this, Leonora smiled with a hint of melancholy.

“I remembered an acquaintance… but he is no longer with us.”

"Really? Then I won't ask any more questions."

Before he finished speaking, Malgili looked forward silently. Leonora was grateful, and at the same time, the strong doubts she had before emerged in her mind.

(The moment I saw Xu Zhen...for some reason, I suddenly thought of the faces of those two people...)

The sealed memory suddenly revived. Leonora's thoughts reached a possibility.

(Could it be that he is... Impossible... That is impossible.)

Leonora shook her head subconsciously, and a past event came to her mind.
