Chapter 146 Are You the Legendary Monster Messenger?
"It's you guys... Thank you so much for coming back safely, Xu Zhen."
“Ah, it’s Grandpa Sergio!”
“We are back!”
Xu Zhen and Lati got off the mutant killer tiger's back and saw Sergio, whom they hadn't seen for three days. They were so happy that their faces were full of smiles.
------------------
"What, mother went to the palace!?"
The joy of reunion had just begun to emerge, but after hearing what Sergio said, Seth shouted in surprise and looked towards the royal palace in the north.
Even though it was dark, black smoke could still be seen rising. No matter how he looked at it, he could only feel that something was wrong. At that moment, Sayid's mind flashed with the image of his sister who looked down on him.
"Is it Minerva?"
Sergio nodded in response to this question: "Yes. We want to go there too, but we are already too busy here. Sorry, I can only let you go and check out the situation."
"Okay, let's go quickly. Thank you, Killer Tiger. Thanks to you, we can reach the capital earlier." Said stroked the head of the father tiger subspecies and expressed his gratitude. He also wanted it to leave the capital.
After all, the city had already fallen into great chaos due to the intrusion of wild monsters. Leaving it here would only be more dangerous under such circumstances. He had hoped to ride it directly to the palace, but this seemed impossible.
Just when he wanted to take the father tiger subspecies out of the city gate, things changed.
"Ah, no, it's okay to keep riding." Sergio's words made Sede and Xu Zhen stop their movements. They looked at him in confusion.
The soldiers around him were in the same mood, but Sergio didn't care and continued, "The situation is urgent. It seems much faster to ride it than to take a carriage."
As he spoke, Sergio made way, and a soldier came over urgently: "Please consider the current situation for a moment!"
"All responsibility lies with Wesley and me. Is that okay?" Sergio said calmly, causing the soldiers to flinch slightly. However -
"Don't drag me into this casually! Although I don't mind the proposal itself." Wesley, who came from behind, spoke with a helpless voice, and the originally tense atmosphere was blown away.
"Really? You always make decisions on the spur of the moment... Have you forgotten how much trouble we've been in because of you?"
“Haha, that also shows that we are still young.”
"What a frivolous fellow... Now is not the time to be nostalgic... Well, that's just your style."
Despite the complaints, this was a common interaction between the two. The soldiers, who were used to seeing such scenes, probably didn't expect it to happen here, and they seemed a little confused.
"Master, who is that person?"
“Who knows?”
Xu Zhen and Leti saw Wesley for the first time and tilted their heads at the same time.
“That man is the guildmaster of this city.”
“Oh, I see.”
“I’m good friends with Grandpa Sergio.”
After hearing Courtney's explanation, Xu Zhen and Lati seemed to sigh in admiration. Wesley, who noticed this, was surprised again and walked closer to Xu Zhen and the others: "Oh, you are the legendary monster messenger. Indeed, you have a pair of good eyes."
Wesley watched Xu Zhen and his monsters with interest. Xu Zhen and his monsters retreated somewhat awkwardly, but Wesley quickly kept his distance and nodded.
"I wanted to have a good chat with you, but now is not the time. I'm sorry to have kept you here. Okay, keep going!"
Wesley made way while speaking, and signaled the surrounding soldiers to make way. Sergio saw this and smiled proudly.
"It seems that you have also mastered how to steal the spotlight."
"That's enough! Stop interrupting me unnecessarily. It's really embarrassing!"
"What's wrong!?"
As if they were watching two teenagers bickering, Xu Zhen and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly. Said seemed to feel the same way, but he knew that now was not the time to be in a daze, so he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Sorry. Then we'll go over there. Thank you." Said smiled, and Xu Zhen and the others rode on the father tiger subspecies again and quickly headed towards the palace.
As they passed the central square and approached the northern road, a hidden monster revealed itself.
"Let's go!" Xu Zhen shouted, and the speed of the father tiger subspecies increased. Just as the monster swung its huge arms to attack, Xu Zhen's fist, which was coated with Lopur's defense enhancement, crushed the monster's fist.
Amid the screams, the tiger subspecies deftly passed by the monster. Xu Zhen, who was riding on its back, glanced back.
"Slakic!"
He shouted, and Slakic's flames struck the monster's face, hitting it. With more screams, the monster fell to the ground, writhing on the ground due to extreme heat and pain.
This series of events happened in just a few seconds. The soldiers showed surprised expressions, but they soon came to their senses and prepared to end the monster's life.
The tiger continued to move straight toward the palace. Wesley and Sergio, who were watching them, sighed as if they were deeply impressed.
"That boy is unexpectedly capable. Although I can still see that he is not strong enough..."
"Hehe. Don't worry, he'll get stronger with a little practice. That kid has such potential. I'm really looking forward to his future."
Sergio smiled happily, as if he was watching over his grandson, which made Wesley think for a moment that maybe he really looked at Xu Zhen in that light.
Sergio had always been gentle and doting with children, but he had never been so devoted to a teenager. At least not in the past ten years that Wesley could remember.
Is he seeing his own children who sacrificed themselves in the fight against monsters as Xu Zhen's shadow, or is he lamenting over the events of ten years ago?
In any case, he obviously had different feelings from ordinary people.
“Sergio, you…”
———Boom boom boom! !
A loud noise came from the palace. The explosion and smoke caused the soldiers to talk. The question Wesley wanted to ask was completely interrupted by the sudden noise.
"Quiet! Panic here will only make everything worse!" Wesley's shouting calmed the soldiers' discussions a little, but the turmoil that had already been caused was difficult to suppress.
At this moment, as if they had calculated the timing, the remnants of the monster appeared from behind the alley.
"The remnants have appeared!" a soldier shouted, and an adventurer came to his senses and fought against the monsters that rushed over. This action gradually made everyone regain their sanity, and finally issued a high-pitched battle cry.
