Chapter 160 Journey to the Origin Land
Chapter 160 Journey to the Origin Land
"Good morning, Ajiu, any breaking news?"
The sun was just rising on the horizon when Haruki got up early to report to the guild's laboratory. He had heard that the guild had compiled information about the islands in the eastern district, including a lot of information about otherworldly monsters.
When I knocked on the door, Ah Jiu was already waiting inside. The other guild members were also busy with their work for the day, and the whole neighborhood was bustling with activity so that my previous worries and fears would not have been in vain.
"The basic situation in the East District is now clear. By the way, where are Sean and Zhao Yu? Didn't they come?"
"They're busy chasing after Mr. Li to ask about the new findings on the Light Magic Stone; they'll look at these materials later."
The information that A-Jiu handed over was taken by Haruki. It included the main terrain of the East District, common monsters and otherworldly monsters. Haruki placed Yugi Junsei on the table so that Zeta could also know the monsters he was about to deal with.
"So, Haruki, how many of these otherworldly monsters do you recognize?"
"Besides Red King, who is known for his strength, there is also Gomora, who has superhuman strength, and Eleking, who can generate electricity. There are many different kinds of otherworldly monsters, but I don't know how they came to be."
Haruki described as many of the monsters he knew as possible, while A-Kyu listened with great interest and curiosity. Zeta also looked at the portraits drawn by the guild, and he was equally curious about the origins of these monsters.
"Could it be Bruton? That dimensional monster has the ability to summon other monsters. Does this world have a rare beast like Bruton? It's covered in squares and circles and usually moves by rolling."
"I've never heard of such a monster before. I'll look it up in the Monster Encyclopedia later."
Zeta's conjecture piqued Ajiu's curiosity. If such a monster with superdimensional abilities really existed, it would be a huge problem, perhaps even more difficult to deal with than Bogaru and Tyrant.
"Hmm? This looks like... King Joe? Why does this world have King Joe?"
Haruki was puzzled by a building in the drawing. Its shape was clearly not from this world. After carefully examining the details, Haruki realized that it was the body of King Joe.
"You mean the Mage Guild in the East District? It was transformed from an otherworldly monster, originally called 'King Joe.' The previous generation of Earth Masters fought against the rampaging King Joe and defeated it. Afterwards, the guild discovered that this monster was not a living being. Later, they moved to the East District for research and finally dismantled some of its parts to build the new Mage Guild we know today."
"King Joe is a space robot, and it usually only acts after being given orders by aliens. If it were suddenly summoned, it wouldn't take any initiative to attack. What's going on?"
Haruki suddenly realized some serious problems. If the battle robot King Joe wasn't summoned but was deployed to this planet, it meant that malicious aliens had their eyes on this planet. However, based on Haruki's current understanding of this world, people's knowledge of aliens was extremely limited.
"Well, King Joe appeared in our world ten years ago during an invasion from another world. We still don't know the reason for that invasion, we only know that we won in the end and all the invading aliens were driven away."
"So you guys are that strong? You were able to defeat an enemy like King Joe..."
"But some things don't make sense. If you really drove away those invaders, based on my understanding of aliens, they will definitely reappear and invade again. After your victory, did no aliens appear?"
More and more doubts arose, and the matter became more complicated than Yaohui had imagined.
"No, there weren't even any otherworldly monsters in previous years. Besides the protection Max promised, the chairman also frequently reassured everyone that those otherworldly invaders from before would not reappear."
"However, it is worth noting that the archipelago in the East District was the starting point of the interdimensional invasion ten years ago. Interdimensional people and monsters attacked our world from there, and many islands in the East District are still closed to the public."
Ah Jiu recalled what she knew before. In her mind, the Eastern Islands were always full of mystery, and even the chairman rarely mentioned anything about the situation there.
"It seems we have no choice but to go to the Eastern Islands to find the answers. The reason why Red King and the other monsters appeared in this world, what exactly happened during the otherworldly invasion, the ownership of the final Light Magic Stone, and..."
"Excuse me, hero, Ajiu has a message for you."
"Okay, wait for me, Yaohui, I'll be right back."
A message interrupted Haruki and A-Kyu's thoughts. Taking advantage of their time alone, Haruki could also recall his various experiences in this world so far.
“We came here to fight the monsters from another world after receiving a distress signal. This is a beautiful world, an unpolluted planet, and there are many lovely creatures here.”
"Moreover, there are other humans in this world like me. They have mastered magic that is considered fantasy on Earth, and they have achieved a harmonious coexistence with monsters that is difficult for us to do. In this world, humans and monsters even joined hands to resist an invasion by aliens."
Looking at the documents displayed on the table, Yao Hui felt more and more that this world was incredible, even though he didn't know the name of this planet.
“How long have we been in this world, Zeta? Almost a month, right? We’ve really seen a lot in this month, but I have a feeling that our journey is about to enter its final stage.”
"So, what do you think will mark the end of our journey, Haruki? Will it be when all the heroes appear, or when we figure out why the otherworldly monsters appeared in this world?"
"I can't say for sure. Based on the information I have so far, things are more complicated than they appear on the surface. I'll just take it one step at a time, since that's more suitable for my not-so-bright brain."
Yao Hui stood up and looked at the clouds in the distance. The world was fresh after the rain. Cargo trucks loaded with goods came and went on the suburban roads. He walked with the wind blowing and continued his journey no matter how the weather changed.
The Nilu emerged from the forest, watching the passing crowd with a mixture of curiosity and wariness, while the knight wolf guarded the mountaintop, protecting the peace of Wolf Wild State.
Several wolf howls signaled the potential danger, and the Golden Eagle Demon reappeared in the sky.
"Haruki, Haruki! Something terrible has happened."
Ajiu rushed into the house in a hurry, which startled Yaohui. What could have happened to make the usually cheerful Ajiu so flustered?
"Is there a monster riot? If so, I'll go help right now."
"No, it's not about the monsters, it's about the East District Mage Guild... We just restored communication with them. The guild found one of the Light Magic Stones, but the other one has been destroyed."
