Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 165 Mysterious Rumors

(The women looked chagrined. Perhaps they hadn’t said anything because they had been sternly admonished by Brenda?)

The red-haired adventurer recalled the expressions of the female adventurers when they returned to the village. They were full of annoyance, as if an easy touch would cause an explosion, and he didn't know what the scale would be.

He felt a little overwhelmed, but at least they didn't attack him, and he was secretly happy.

(This seems to last only a short time, though...)

After all, the situation can't always be like this. He guessed that everything might return to normal in a few days. Just then, the red-haired adventurer remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I also heard a strange rumor. It seems that Lord Seide is also involved..."

"Ah, I know that too, but that's not a strange thing, right?" After the adventurer with earrings said this, the red-haired adventurer nodded and spoke at the same time.

"That's true, but that's not what I want to talk about. I heard that Lord Seid became friends with a human monster user boy, and they helped solve the incident together..."

“That seems to be true. The elders and Brenda said so too. The elders, in particular, seemed to like the boy very much.”

The red-haired adventurer's eyes widened when he heard the earring-wearing adventurer's words.

"…So the rumors are true. By the way, that boy is carrying some rare monsters, right?"

"I heard that he brought a fairy ship... Do you know anything?" The adventurer with earrings asked the adventurer with glasses. The adventurer with glasses tilted his head, seeming to want to recall something.

"I heard that he brought a cute fairy and a slime that can breathe fire. The slime might be a subspecies. I've seen information about it in the guild before."

"They are always some unusual monsters..."

To be honest, the red-haired adventurer didn't believe these words at first. Although there was a boy who was a monster user, it sounded like nonsense that he could control rare monsters.

Even if it was a subspecies of slime, it was still acceptable, but for fairies and fairy ships, just encountering them was extremely difficult. Being able to control them at the same time would definitely require great luck.

But it seems that all of this is true, the red-haired adventurer thought.

What kind of person is that boy? Just as he was thinking about this, the adventurer with glasses seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Brenda said that there will be guests coming to the village soon."

"Oh, is it another investigation?" the red-haired adventurer asked, while the adventurer with glasses shook his head: "No, it seems to be someone the elder knows. They are a pair of human and orc teenagers, with a few monsters."

Hearing this, the red-haired adventurer raised his eyebrows and thought in his mind.

(The monster user we were talking about just now, isn’t that this guest…)

But since he was not sure, he felt it was too early to draw conclusions. After all, when the real guests arrived, everything would be clear, so the red-haired adventurer wanted to put this topic aside for the time being.

Just then, he suddenly looked around and noticed something.

"By the way, didn't you feel that the elder was nowhere to be seen? He would usually go out at this time, right?"

"Ah, indeed it is so."

The adventurer with earrings and the adventurer with glasses also noticed this again and looked around.

Sergio usually goes out on time every morning unless he is too busy at work. He not only goes for a walk, but also often conducts magic training with the mages. By the end of the morning training, you can usually hear happy laughter.

Today, however, there were no sounds at all. Others were puzzled by Sergio's absence. Then, a young man from the village came over with a large basket full of herbs.

"If you're looking for the elder, he just went to the cemetery."

Hearing this, the three looked at each other, and then the red-haired adventurer asked the young man: "Why did you go there?"

"Well... maybe it's because of someone's death anniversary? I don't know the details." After the young man said this, he continued to carry the herbs and left.

The three of them looked at each other again and tilted their heads to think. Was it really because of someone's death anniversary? They had never heard of such news. This was the common opinion of the three of them.

(Come to think of it, the elder has been very serious lately, as if he is thinking and studying something. I hope this is not a sign of something bad...)

The adventurer with the earrings looked at the ground and recalled the past few days.

Considering that a big event was happening in the capital of Sforia, he couldn't get rid of the uneasiness in his heart. There was no absolutely safe place. No matter where you were, anything could happen, even the elf village was no exception.

After all, this is a special place known for the overflow of magic power, and someone might take advantage of the opportunity to plan something. Once those plans are exposed, the peaceful village will instantly become a battlefield.

Just as the tense atmosphere was flowing between the three of them——

"The hot soup is ready! Come here if you're hungry!"

An adventurer shouted loudly while banging his spoon. Hearing this, the three of them looked stunned, then laughed happily.

"There's no use thinking about it. Let's go get something to eat."

"yes."

"I'm hungry after using my brain."

The adventurer with earrings agreed with the adventurer with glasses, and the red-haired adventurer stretched while holding the towel tightly.

There was a steaming pot in the direction they were heading, giving off an alluring aroma. One of the three men's stomachs growled, and the sound caused them to laugh again, and the tense atmosphere had completely dissipated.

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

That noon - Xu Zhen and his companions stepped into the elves' village. This settlement, which was completely different from the towns they had seen before and rich in nature, was lively but not noisy, which made Xu Zhen feel happy.

"Wow, this is such a quiet and nice place." Xu Zhen exclaimed as he looked around curiously.

At this time, a woman hurried over.

"Ms. Brenda."

"Hey. It's great to have everyone here. They all look very energetic."

Brenda smiled as she raised her right hand slightly.

"The elders are also looking forward to your arrival. Let's go quickly." As she said that, Brenda led Xu Zhen and the others through the village.

Perhaps because it was lunch time, people could be seen preparing food everywhere, and the aroma increased Xu Zhen and the others' appetite.

Especially Slakić and Lopul, who were extremely hungry, lazily lay on Xu Zhen's head and shoulders. The aroma of the food was a fatal temptation.
