Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 151 Self-destruction

“You mean the one that’s happening now?”

"Yes, that's it."

Sayid took a bite of his sandwich and quickly took a sip of his now lukewarm tea. He stared briefly at the empty cup before placing it on the table with a look of determination on his face.

"Please keep it here while I'm about to say something..." Seide's words made Xu Zhen nervous. He stopped eating the sandwich in his hand and listened attentively.

"In fact, last night, my mother was ready to take responsibility for this incident and decided to give up the position of Queen."

"Ah, the new king..."

"Wait. She was just planning to do that. She is still the queen." Sayde's bitter smile eased the atmosphere a little. Xu Zhen also felt relieved and unconsciously put the sandwich in his hand into his mouth.

As he poured tea into his own cup, Sayid continued: “She was actually pretty serious last night. If Sergio hadn’t told her off pretty severely, things would have been a lot worse now.”

Seth also refilled Xu Zhen's cup with tea. They had finished their sandwiches and were blowing on the steaming tea while sipping it.

Seide stared at the cup and seemed to be talking to himself: "It seems that the impact of this incident is quite large. It seems that I am unlikely to leave the country for a while. I am very worried about the condition of my mother and brother, and..."

He lowered his head and continued with a self-deprecating smile: "I could do almost nothing in this incident. I was busy controlling the rampaging Bani. Almost all the credit goes to Xu Zhen, Lati and others. My mother feels the same way."

"Don't you think it's overrated? It feels like it just took the credit at the end..."

"It's not like that. If it weren't for Xu Zhen and you, what would the situation be like now? My mother and I are really grateful."

Xu Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. His mind was full of why he was being thanked like this. Although he felt that the battle was over, he didn't feel that he had saved the country at all. Not to mention the idea of ​​saving the capital from crisis.

At that time, he returned to the chaotic capital with Sede because Sede wanted to go back alone, and as a friend, he couldn't let go. It may be true that Lati helped Felini, but that was just a coincidence.

In short, he didn't think he deserved such great gratitude. Xu Zhen thought so and decided to forcefully change the subject: "By the way, you just mentioned the option of leaving the country..."

"Ah. I was planning to go abroad soon, but now that plan has been put on hold. I plan to stay in the capital to help with the reconstruction and train with Barney at the same time. I plan to start training myself again."

There was no confusion or regret in Sayde's words. Since Sayde had made the decision, Xu Zhen also accepted it.

At this moment, Sayid suddenly seemed to remember something: "By the way, mother said that she wants to give you some rewards after the situation calms down."

“Hmm? To whom?”

"Of course it's for Xu Zhen and you guys." Hearing Seide's words, Xu Zhen frowned and said, "I don't need those, and I'm not interested..."

"That won't work either. Mother has her own position. She must give you something substantial to maintain the Queen's dignity."

“…It’s really troublesome.”

"You're right. The royal family and the nobles have always been troublesome creatures." Looking at Seide's bitter smile, Xu Zhen realized that there seemed to be no choice but to accept it: "Then let's wait until later?"

"Yes. But please at least go and see your mother later. It shouldn't be too much trouble to accept her thanks directly, right?"

Xu Zhen nodded reluctantly.

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

Alicia, Courtney, and Letty also woke up, and after having snacks, they all went out to town together.

Ced and Barney stayed in the palace. Ced had to take over Austin's duties. Nobles continued to pour into the palace, and it seemed that he would have to be busy dealing with these situations for the time being.

Since they couldn't leave through the main entrance, they quietly went out through the back door next to the restaurant, trying to avoid the sight of the nobles and move forward quietly. When they finally arrived at the edge of the town, it was already getting dark.

"By the way, Xu Zhen, what reward did Miss Felini give you?" Alicia asked curiously. Xu Zhen sighed and replied, "No, I haven't received it yet. She is too busy and doesn't even have time to prepare."

"By the way, the exchange with those nobles just now was quite intense." Courtney said with a wry smile. Xu Zhen sighed softly while looking at the gradually red sky: "I have already made an appointment with the master of the guild to let me go to the guild to collect the special bonus. Just like the time with Santono."

When he was involved in Sylvia's incident a few months ago, he also increased the reward for the mission in the form of an apology.

If you think about it carefully, it is entirely possible that he was called to the palace at that time. Xu Zhen didn't know the specific situation, but it was probably because the palace was also in chaos. In the end, nothing formal was done, and Xu Zhen even thought it was a good thing.

"Speaking of the guild...it seems like we did accept a mission, right?" When Lati asked this, Xu Zhen immediately stopped.

“Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that.”

"Then let's go report it on the way. The mission hasn't expired yet, so it should be fine."

The deadline for the mission Xu Zhen and his team had accepted was one week. Only two days had passed, so there was indeed no problem. Since the target herbs had been collected, submitting them to the guild would allow the mission to be successfully completed.

If they could receive the special bonus together, it would be unexpected income. As they were thinking this as they walked towards the guild, they suddenly heard a conversation.

"The MacLeods are bankrupt?"

"Ah, it is indeed reliable news."

The conversation between the two adventurers caught their attention and they stopped to listen.

"You heard it, didn't you? What the queen said this morning was all true. The chieftain didn't believe it until the end."

"Indeed, he rushed into the palace in a rage, didn't he?"

"Yes. That stupid son completely destroyed himself there. In the end, he even cried and hugged his father for mercy."

"Hope his father can use his power to dethrone the queen? I've heard this rumor too..."

“It’s true. That’s why the patriarch has nowhere to escape. He bears the main responsibility for this incident.”

"The McReades' mansion was suddenly sealed off in the afternoon. This is the reason."

"That's right. The servants have all run away. The lady seemed to have anticipated this and has packed her bags and left the capital. She may be smiling happily now."

"…She approached the Patriarch for the throne, is this true?"

“Maybe.”

"Was that stupid son sent to jail? Where's the patriarch?"

"It seems not. It's just a rumor that he was sent to the palace as a servant. Such a large place must have some places that are not cleaned. He may have to struggle with the stench day after day."

“It’s so tragic.”

“But this is also the result of his own actions. To be honest, he deserves it.”

“I think so.”

The two adventurers walked towards the town center while laughing. Xu Zhen, who had been listening, noticed some parts of their conversation.
