Chapter 127 Troublesome Guests
Because they were worried that if they delayed any longer, the other three people except Xu Zhen might get into trouble again.
Therefore, Xu Zhen now feels a little rushed, which is not very pleasant. Although he understands this situation, he still feels that it is not a bad idea to take his time to make a choice.
When Xu Zhen sighed, Lati tore off a task list from the D-level bulletin board: "Hey, Master, how about this task?"
"Which one?" Xu Zhen leaned over to look at the task list that Lati brought.
It says: Go southwest from Panna Forest to a small lake. You need to collect three or more herbs growing naturally there and bring them back to the guild. These herbs are often used as food by monsters, so it is relatively difficult to find them.
Xu Zhen and his friends checked the map and confirmed the location of the lake.
“Hey, the lake is quite far away. A round trip in one day doesn’t seem possible.”
“But it’s a good fit. It’s the right mission.”
“Yes, let’s choose this one.”
After Xu Zhen and his team reported to Seide and his team, they completed the registration.
"The task has been taken up. The deadline is within a week."
"Okay, then let's set off quickly...ah, we have to tell the guild master first. We don't know what will happen." Said asked the receptionist to pass a message to the guild master. Tell him that Xu Zhen and the others will leave overnight to carry out the mission.
The guild seemed to have heard about the commotion in the palace, and the receptionist showed concern. At this time, Xu Zhen noticed that Alicia was blushing and dazed.
"…Alicia, are you okay?"
“Eh!? Ah, no, it’s okay, it’s okay, ahahaha!”
It's obvious that nothing is wrong. Xu Zhen thought so, and the scene in the morning emerged in his mind.
(I just told you not to worry about it, so I should be able to forget about it, right?)
(Ouch, this is a bit embarrassing... It's so embarrassing...)
Alicia was thinking the same thing. She didn't understand why she was so uneasy. Seeing Xu Zhen who didn't care at all, she suddenly wanted to sigh for some reason.
She was speechless, or couldn't find the right words to say, and at the same time, a pure question emerged in her mind: Why did she have to care so much? She tried to think about it, but she couldn't find any answer.
Finally, Alicia could only panic inwardly. Then, Sede came back.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting... What happened to those two people?" Seth asked when he came back. Courtney smiled bitterly and replied, "No big deal."

A carriage slowly passed through the central street of the capital. Although there were many people, no one noticed the carriage. Biz was sitting on the driver's seat, and Erwin was hiding in the cargo bed.
Biz's secluded cabin was located in the forest on the west side, and Erwin, who had been fleeing eastwards, this time crossed the town. He hid in the cargo bed of the carriage prepared by Biz and was safe.
During this process, Erwin complained that the cargo platform was too narrow, while Biz listened to the wind as if nothing had happened. The carriage entered the forest and the surrounding voices gradually disappeared.
As the surroundings grew darker and darker, with only the sound of the carriage moving, they finally arrived at Bizz's cabin several hours later with a strange sense of unease.
“We’re back. Sorry, I brought a troublesome guest.”
“Get out of my way!”
Erwin pushed Biz away and shouted to the person on the sofa: "I am Erwin McRed. From now on, this is my base. I can't keep people like you here. Get out now!"
"Hmph, the heir of the McLeod family really doesn't know how to live or die." The person who spoke was a woman, and her attitude was no less than Erwin's.
Erwin gritted his teeth and strode towards the sofa, intending to take a good look at the man's face: "What kind of tone is that! Who do you think I am..."
The moment he walked in front of the man, Erwin's expression was filled with astonishment. The person on the sofa slowly stood up, combing his shining golden hair while staring at Erwin.
"Do you think this tone is appropriate for the second princess of our kingdom? If it weren't for this situation, your family would have been easily destroyed by me... You are so lucky!"
Every word passed through Erwin's ears and directly stimulated his brain. His body kept shaking, and endless cold sweat flowed down his cheeks. He even began to consider running away immediately.
But he felt that if he did so, it would be his doom. Feeling his throat dry, Erwin struggled to squeeze out the words: "Minerva... Your Excellency?"
"You finally noticed? Well, don't worry about apologizing or anything, now is not the time to worry about that..."
At that moment, Erwin took a big step back, knelt on the ground with his hands touching the ground, and shouted loudly: "I am so sorry! Please, please save my life!!"
Seeing Erwin bow so respectfully, Minerva opened her eyes wide. She wanted to ask what was going on, but she knew that even if she asked, she would not hear him.
However, this cannot go on forever. Minerva decided to try to talk to Austin, who was shaking with fear: "...Stand up first. Didn't I say you don't need to apologize?"
"Thank you so much! I, Erwin, have no way of repaying you for your generosity, Lady Minerva!"
At least the sound could be conveyed, and Minerva felt a little comforted in her heart.
"So, Erwin. Can you tell me why you're here?"
"Yes! Of course, I will tell you everything!"
Although still somewhat confused, Erwin begins to recount what has happened so far, and then seeks to exact a bitter revenge on Seder, who he believes is the cause of it all.
Seeing Erwin's anger, Minerva smiled. This could be useful. Seeing his attitude just now, she felt that he would obey any order. She even considered using these two as substitutes to escape in times of crisis.
"Would you... help us with our plan?"
Facing Minerva's red eyes that flashed with a strange light, Erwin seemed a little dazed, but he immediately nodded in agreement.

“Yoho——”
“It’s super awesome—”
Xu Zhen and his companions were riding the killer tiger on the grassland. Because of the wide view, no pedestrians and obstacles, they could speed up as much as they wanted. If the weather was not gloomy, it would be even more perfect, but they had already accepted that this could not be changed.
By the way, the one they rode was Barney's father, a subspecies of the killer tiger. Despite the fact that there were four tigers in the group, the tiger subspecies still moved lightly.
