Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 124 She is not the type to listen to instructions

"About Lord Seid. Honestly, I feel uneasy about him being away. Shouldn't he be kept in the palace with guards?"

This question is reasonable. Felini had suggested that Seid be given a guard and kept in his own room. But due to Austin's intervention, Seid is now with Xu Zhen and the others.

Although Felini refused with a distorted expression, she reluctantly agreed after Austin said something.

Of course, the soldiers did not hear these exchanges, and the maids were completely unaware of them. In Austin's opinion, it was natural to have such questions now.

"...Indeed, your doubts are reasonable. Normally, your opinions would be taken into account. Ced is actually under house arrest now, and Minerva may think so too. We must avoid playing into her hands."

"Is it possible that Lord Austin is deliberately doing the opposite?"

Austin smiled at the surprised soldiers and said, "This disturbance is likely sudden. So far, there has been no movement in the city. She may be hiding somewhere and planning a countermeasure."

"Do you understand? Perhaps this is all Lady Minerva's plan..."

"That's impossible. Because..." Austin said bitterly -

"The word 'plan' doesn't even exist in her mind!" he said very clearly.

Hearing this, the soldier's vision gradually became blurred and cold sweat began to flow. He hoped to hide it all, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he couldn't do it. The soldier made a difficult decision.

He mustered up the courage to look Austin in the eye and said tremblingly, "...Excuse me for being so presumptuous, I feel the same way."

"It's okay. I wish you could tell her directly. She's not the type to obey... Really, you don't know how many times my mother and I have been troubled by this..."

"I understand how you feel." The soldier couldn't find any other words to say. Seeing the soldier's apologetic expression, Austin came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and tightened his expression again.

"Anyway, don't worry about Seder. Just keep searching."

"clear!"

The soldier stood at attention and saluted, then ran off to continue his search for Minerva. Austin accompanied him along the way, sighing and thinking.

How much trouble does she have to cause to be satisfied? No, she doesn't even realize that she is causing trouble. Just scolding her won't work.

Finding Minerva would undoubtedly cause a greater commotion. Just as Austin made up his mind to check where he thought it might be, the situation changed.

"Lord Austin!" An apprentice maid brought news of a cottage in the nearby forest.

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

"Does Bizz live in that cabin...it seems worth going and taking a look." Austin led several soldiers deep into the forest.

One day, while gathering herbs in the forest, he discovered a creepy hut, which was exactly what the apprentice maid had provided him.

The moment Austin heard the news, he remembered a rumor.

A man whose path to promotion was blocked because of his overambitiousness. But he still did not give up, hiding somewhere to continue his research, waiting for an opportunity to act.

This story was originally just a casual conversation among the court magicians, and Austin did not take it seriously. He did not expect that it could actually come true now.

While regretting his own shallowness, Austin had another bad premonition.

"If he hasn't given up his position as Court Magister, and Minerva knows that... then there will be trouble."

He could imagine Minerva using Bizz as a pawn, and then discarding him like trash. Next to Austin, who was walking in his imagination, a soldier who was walking with him spoke.

"I don't know much about Mr. Bizz, but from what you said, I feel that he is a very dangerous person."

"Yes, he is indeed a very dangerous man. The Queen made the right decision to block his path to becoming the court mage. Isn't that right, Lord Austin?"

“It is, there is no doubt about it.”

Austin agreed with the two soldiers. At that moment his expression became tense and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"The aura of magic is getting stronger. Everyone, be careful and move forward!"

"Yes!"

They moved forward slowly while keeping an eye on the surroundings, and finally saw a small house. What was special was that they could not sense any presence, which only added to the ominous atmosphere.

"I'll go check it out. You guys stay here, just in case." Austin walked forward alone and pushed open the door of the hut. The hut seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time and felt a little dusty.

"...No one, huh..."

He lit the lamp next to him, and the situation inside the room was clear at a glance. Books were piled up in a disorderly manner. There was no decoration at all, and the fishy and musty smell left by food slightly irritated his nose.

It looks like someone lives here, but it's definitely not sanitary.

"It seems that Biz is likely to use this place as his base. Books on magic... and they are quite professional, so the people involved are limited."

After looking around the room again, Austin said to the soldiers, "Let's go back. We must report this to the Queen."

"Do you need me to guard it?"

"No thanks." Austin replied briefly and left the hut. He thought it might be more dangerous to let the soldiers who couldn't sense magic guard the hut.

If he was attacked and injured, it would be fine. If he was controlled by magic, the palace might fall into chaos. If someone like Biz wanted to show off his achievements, it was not surprising that he might have created this kind of magic or similar magic tools.

If he had not received the information a few months ago that Sylvia, the second princess of the Santono Kingdom, was controlled by dark magic, he might not have been able to make such a speculation.

After Austin reported these considerations to Felini, Felini seemed to agree: "I understand. We will officially send a magician there to investigate. Can I entrust the on-site command to you?"

"Please leave it to me. Well, I'll take my leave now." The moment Austin bowed and left, the sound of someone chewing candy loudly was heard in Felini's office.

Besides Felini, there was another visitor present.

“This is really getting troublesome.”

Sergio, the elder of the Elf Village, said this in a relaxed manner, taking candy from a paper bag and putting it into his mouth, sitting deeply on the sofa. The continuous chewing sound began to irritate Felini's nerves.

"…Sergio-sama. If you think so, could you please eat somewhere else? Honestly, this is too much of a bother!"
