The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Upon hearing the words 'Dark Ring,' the old mage grabbed Lu Ming's clothes with unimaginable speed, his eyes wide, and roared excitedly, "You know what this damned Dark Ring is, right!? Don't you!?"

Yul Sika, who had never seen this side of the old mage before, was startled. Meanwhile, Yusaha and Lily, who were beside Lu Ming, drew Hyde Straight Sword and Lu Ming's Sage Candlestick respectively, and held them to the old mage's neck, forcing him to release Lu Ming.

Startled by the old mage, Lu Ming quickly took two steps back after being separated and told Yusaha and Lily to release the old mage.

"I don't know why you're like this, but I think you must have suffered a lot because of the Dark Ring, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old mage sat down in a chair and burst into tears. He said to Lu Ming, "I was originally one of the most promising mages in Miracaissa, known by many mages as one of the Six Heroes of Miracaissa. But one day forty years ago, a black ring suddenly appeared on the backs of all six of us. It kept draining our magic power, memories, and sanity. Because of it, they quickly went from being archmages to mages, and some even became magic apprentices."

"Later, we tried various methods to regain our status as Archmages, but each attempt ended in failure. Amidst repeated failures and the insults of those who had once adored us but now humiliated us because of our rank, the six of us chose to live in seclusion. But twenty years ago, four of us, for reasons unknown, transformed into unkillable monsters. They were bloodthirsty, loved to kill, and possessed a strong aggression towards all sentient beings, including us. Left with no other choice, another person and I sealed them in coffins, locking them atop a snow-capped mountain in the far north. Since then, the other person and I have lived in constant fear of ever turning into those monsters again..."

As he spoke, the old monk raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and looked at Lu Ming, asking, "Sheriff, you know what this black ring is, right? You know how to remove it, right?"

After listening to the old master's story, Lu Ming fell silent. He didn't know whether he should tell what he knew.

"Tell me! I can handle it! I don't want to keep trembling in the shadow of things I don't know!"

"..." Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said to the old mage, "The Dark Ring is proof of the undead. It absorbs the humanity of the undead, turning them into wandering spirits that crave souls, which is what you call unkillable monsters. In addition, as far as I know, there is only one person who can cure the Dark Ring. But whether she is still alive, I don't know."

"..." After a moment of silence, the old mage asked again, "I heard about your monster-catching trip to the commercial district yesterday. Presumably, it's a 'wandering spirit' like my four old friends. By the way, you're here to catch me, aren't you?"

"To be honest, no. I'm just looking for three undead hiding in the city of Paris."

"Three?" The old mage was stunned for a moment, then asked in great surprise, "You mean there's another one like me in Paris City?"

“Yesterday’s wandering spirit was the first, and you are the second, so there is indeed another one. However, I don’t know if he, like you, still has humanity.” Lu Ming nodded slightly in response to the old monk. Then he added, “I think you’d better go to the police station to register, just in case something happens and it becomes difficult to handle.”

“I understand.” The old mage wiped away his tears, then resolutely introduced himself: “My name is McCott Farch, and I am a dark mage.”

“My name is Lu Ming, and I am the fourth newly appointed sheriff of Paris City. The other two are Yusaha Sachi, who is also an undead like you, and Lily Helas, whose father is likely a wandering spirit.”

"Sachi? You're the lord's daughter!?" Upon hearing Lu Ming's introduction, McCot and Yu'er Sika exclaimed in unison, pointing at Yusaha in surprise.

"Yes. But, can we go to the police station now?"

"Yes, that's fine, Lord Yusaha!"

Yusaha smiled helplessly, then was the first to leave the workshop.

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

Lu Ming didn't know the way to the police station, so Yusaha led the way. However, as they got closer to the police station, McCot and Yul Sica's expressions suddenly turned grim, because a large crowd had gathered outside. Among them were nobles, commoners, and merchants, but almost everyone was complaining and reporting to a soldier at the police station that an old man and a little girl gang of swindlers in the industrial area had cheated them out of their money.

"What the hell is going on?" Although he was a bit far away, Lu Ming could still hear some of it from a distance. These intermittent arguments and reports made Lu Ming subconsciously glance at McCott and Yu'er Sika, whose faces were turning a little pale.

Perhaps noticing Lu Ming's gaze, both Old McCott and Little You'er Sika became somewhat evasive. You'er Sika even muttered to herself.

"I'm going to be kicked out of the church... I'm going to be kicked out of the church... I'm going to..."

Needless to say, the fraud gang those people were talking about was McCott and Yul Sica.

"What did you two do?" Lu Ming patted McCott on the shoulder and asked.

"It's nothing much, just some healing beverage I got from trading with the apple tree, diluted with water, and then used it as an alchemical potion..."

"What!? You two really are liars!?" Upon hearing McCott's confession, Lu Ming was shocked and shouted loudly.

"Don't..." When he saw Lu Ming shouting loudly, McCott instinctively tried to cover Lu Ming's mouth, but unfortunately he and Yu'er Sika were already surrounded by the crowd.

Looking at the old man and the young man struggling in the enraged crowd, Lu Ming thought for a moment and decided to rescue them.

The method they used... was this: "Do you really want to get so close to these two people who have just recovered from the plague?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd parted in a flash. They all kept their distance from McCott and Yul Sica, as if afraid that the two of them might be carrying a non-existent plague.

McCot, who had just been forced to use magic to protect himself and Yorshka amidst the wrath of the people, blinked at the crowd that was far away from him and Yorshka. Then, as if afraid that others wouldn't come after him, he shouted loudly, "What's wrong!? It's just a plague!? Come on!!" as he ran towards the crowd, scaring them into backing away.

"What kind of temper is this?" Lu Ming sighed, rubbing his forehead, and then shouted to the police station in the distance, "I am Police Officer Lu Ming. Come here immediately and arrest these two fraudsters suspected of spreading the plague!"

"Hey~!!" You'er Xika, who thought Lu Ming was on her side, shouted loudly. Then, she was chained up by the soldiers who rushed out of the police station and forcibly dragged into the police station.

After glancing at the people who had already fled the area, Lu Ming stepped into his first job, the police station in Paris City, with a feeling he didn't know how to describe.

"The environment is alright, but what's with those drunkards?" Lu Ming's first impression of the police station was not bad. But when he had the soldiers hold down the two swindlers, one big and one small, and lead them toward his office, he was shocked to find several drunken soldiers lying in the corridor, led by none other than Lu Ming's adjutant, Kelal.

Lu Ming, who hadn't really cared much about this job he'd somehow gotten, felt utterly humiliated for the first time. So he waved to a few soldiers, then pointed to a few drunkards in the corridor, held up two fingers, and said with a smile, "Tie them up and tickle their soles with feathers for twenty minutes."

The soldiers, not understanding what Lu Ming meant, could only comply. The result was that they became the devilish executioners of a terrifying, laughing hell, feared by everyone else. This continued until their retirement.

Sitting in the private office specially prepared for Lu Ming at the police station, listening to the drunkards outside laughing and begging for help while swearing they would never drink again, McCott and Yu'er Sika were extremely uneasy, fearing that Lu Ming would let them experience the feeling of laughing and begging for help.

Since he didn't know the language of the Kingdom of Miracaisar, Lu Ming had to ask Yusaha to help him draft a document: Undead Management Files.

This file is used to record information about the undead and their degree of zombification. Lu Ming had been conceiving such a file since he captured the wandering spirit yesterday. Of course, it's only just begun.

"Name?"

"McCourt Farchis".

"gender?"

"male."

"age?"

"79."

"Home address?"

"Workshop No. 467 in the Industrial Zone".

"How long have you been an immortal...?"

Through this question-and-answer process, McCott quickly completed the document.

However, when Lu Ming asked McCott to hand over all the money he had swindled, McCott's attitude of refusing to hand it over even at the cost of his life was a bit of a headache.

In order to avoid becoming a hated criminal and being killed by the countess who was even willing to harm her own daughter, Lu Ming had no choice but to go outside the office and say to a soldier who was watching the human tragedy in the corridor with a look of horror: "Old man, ten minutes, hurry up."

"No...hahahahaha...no...hahahahaha...that little girl is lying...hahahahaha...it wasn't me..." Soon, McCott's laughing cries for help echoed throughout the police station, just like the other drunkards. The soldier who had initially only been watching the spectacle and offering a casual sympathy for Kylar and the others also joined the ranks of the devil's executors.

Just as McCot was gripped by the terror of feathers tickling his feet, Lu Ming had Yusaha fill out a file almost identical to McCot's, which he then placed in his desk.

Then, Lu Ming stretched and said to Yusaha, Lily, and Youerxika, "Alright, let's go. There's nothing else to do here."

Chapter Seven - The Apple Tree Spirit (Please recommend and add to your favorites)

After leaving the police station, Lu Ming and the others took You'er Sica back to the church. After the pastor learned of You'er Sica's fraudulent activities, they persuaded him to give her another chance and allow her to continue working at the church. Then they went directly to the place where ordinary people traded magic rabbits for apple soda, which was near the apple tree spirits in Paris City.

Before even reaching the location of the apple tree spirit, Lu Ming and his companions saw numerous stalls selling apple soda. While the prices were only one or two silver coins, nothing like the tens or hundreds of gold coins charged for alchemical potions, the healing effects of apple soda were ultimately limited. It wasn't a true alchemical potion, and it was obtained by exchanging magic rabbits worth less than ten copper coins in total. At such a price, it was already quite good.

The apple tree spirit resides in a park within the city of Paris. Therefore, besides people exchanging apple sodas, there are many couples there, such as Floren and Mil. However, there are none like Lu Ming, who is accompanied by two female companions.

Therefore, Lu Ming naturally became the target of everyone's angry stares, regardless of whether they were men or women. The only difference was that the women looked down on Lu Ming's scumbag behavior, while the men felt envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Have you found the second immortal?" Fren, who had already changed his apple soda and was chatting and flirting with Millie, came over with Millie when he saw Lu Ming and the other two who had gone to find the second hidden immortal. He asked.

"We found him. But we didn't expect that the immortal would bring along a white magic apprentice from the church to scam people. It took us a long time to get him to hand over all the money he had swindled." Lu Ming sat down on a park bench and sighed.

"fraud?"

"Yes! A 79-year-old conman."

After exchanging a few words, Lu Ming looked in the direction of the apple tree spirit. Although there was a huge crowd there, Lu Ming could still see something similar to a man-eating flower on the apple tree spirit's crown.

"What is that thing?!" Lu Ming was startled when he saw the man-eating flower-like creature. He remembered seeing a similar thing on a willow tree by the lake when he was chased by the demon rabbits and fell into the lake. It was this same thing that fired Lu Ming's seed machine gun and engaged the demon rabbits in battle.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Ming's strange expression as he looked at the apple tree spirit, Furen couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Because he hadn't heard of the apple tree spirit attacking people, Lu Ming chose to keep the fact that the apple tree spirit could use a seed machine gun a secret. After all, if the people in the city found out about this, it might cause panic and lead them to try to eliminate the apple tree spirit as a threat. Whether the apple tree spirit would retaliate in that case was anyone's guess.

"Alright, let's hurry up and get our apple soda!" To hide what was on his mind, Lu Ming, who had just sat down, immediately stood up, and boldly put his arms around Lily and Yusaha's shoulders as they walked toward the apple tree spirit.

However, Lu Ming was unaware that his suggestion had been overheard by Furen's fiancée. Holding the apple soda in her hand, she revealed a sly smile: "This thing is called apple soda? It doesn't sound very appealing, but compared to those green, sweet potions sold by the city's nobles, apple soda is a much more fitting name! But since it's apple soda, the main ingredient must be apples. If researched properly, I think even apple soda without any therapeutic effect could sell for a good price, right?"

Little did he know that a casual remark he made would give the daughter of a wealthy businessman in an ordinary city the opportunity to instantly become a world-renowned businesswoman. Of course, that's a story for another time.

Because she was being embraced, Lily's face was slightly flushed, making her look beautiful and causing many men to envy Lu Ming's good fortune. However, if it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad, but he was also embracing Yusaha, another beautiful girl. This caused many young noblemen to inexplicably resent Lu Ming and even begin to secretly investigate his background.

Amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the crowd, Lu Ming and his two companions walked towards the apple tree spirit.

Looking at these enormous apple tree spirits with their enormous faces, Lu Mingxin felt a surge of urge to both complain and burst out laughing. The apple tree spirits' faces were just too hilarious. One eye was big, the other small, that was one thing, but then there were crooked noses, slanted eyes, and drooling! Where was the dignity a tree spirit should have?

"Welcome, traveler. How can I help you?" Before Lu Ming could speak, the apple tree spirit spoke first.

Such a simple greeting, like a stone thrown into a pond, instantly stirred up a thousand ripples. In no time, whispers arose all around.

From their words, Lu Ming could easily tell that these apple tree spirits had never been polite to these people. As beings blessed by two gods, they were naturally superior to ordinary people and therefore showed them no respect, except for clergy.

"You know me?"

"Yes. I know your deeds and have heard of your kindness from other old friends. It is because of your generosity that we have received the blessings of two gods. Here, I, Apple Tree Amura, am very grateful to you, Lord Lu Ming of the Cold Valley."

"This..." Lu Ming was momentarily speechless at the apple tree's words. However, from what it said, Lu Ming was certain of two things.

First, these apple trees turned into tree spirits because of him. There are two possibilities: one is that the system's daily tasks were discovered by the will of the world, and the two gods of nature and harvest blessed the apple trees, allowing them to learn from the system and issue daily tasks to control the number of magic rabbits. The other is that the granting of the Seed Machine Gun skill made the two gods take a liking to the apple trees and learn from the system to have the tree spirits issue tasks. In Lu Ming's view, either way is possible.

Secondly, the gods knew about the Icy Valley. He had only told Yu'er Sica about his origins from the Icy Valley, so how did these tree spirits find out? Did Yu'er Sica mention it during her prayers, or was he being monitored by the gods? Regardless of which one it was, Lu Ming felt uneasy.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ming decided it was best to leave the matter of the gods alone for the time being. After all, he was only a level 3 magic apprentice and had virtually no real strength.

So Lu Ming smiled insincerely and said to Amura, the apple tree spirit, "We're here to complete our mission."

“I see. I understand.” As she spoke, Amura glanced at Yusaha’s pocket, a faint greenish glow emanating from her large and small eyes. After a while, she said to Lu Ming, “My god has updated her system. The system text has now been changed to Miracaisar, and the quest application has been reopened. However, compared to yours, hers only has daily quests issued by various factions, like our daily quest, ‘Rabbit Slayer.’”

"Uh... Rabbit Killer Maniac? You mean this mission to hunt demon rabbits is called 'Rabbit Killer Maniac'!?" Before Lu Ming could finish expressing his surprise at the update to Yusaha's phone by the God of Nature, the people around him exclaimed in surprise!

"Let's run!" After glancing at the people around him who were shocked and angry because of the mission's name, Lu Ming grabbed the stunned Yusaha and the clueless Lily and ran away as fast as he could.

Meanwhile, Farren, seeing the situation was not good, immediately picked up Mil and ran.

Listening to the sounds of people arguing with the apple tree spirits behind them and getting them to change the mission name, Lu Ming and the others ran all the way back to Yusaha's mansion.

Exhausted from running around all day, Lu Ming collapsed onto the sofa, unable to get up. Meanwhile, Yusaha and Lily, also on the sofa, were fiddling with a phone with text they couldn't understand before.

"The description of the Demon Rabbits is just... something else! These rabbits are so ruthless, how did they become the ones who are heartless?"

"The traveler on the apple soda label is referring to you, right, Lu Ming? But what's with the 'immortal' thing?"

"Rabbit Killer...wait! How did it become [Nature Guardian]?"

Although Yusaha and Lily kept expressing their exclamations and questions, Lu Ming, with an expression that said "I'm suffering inside, I don't want to talk about it," didn't say a word.

After all, what kind of transmigrator has their cheat abilities copied by someone else? Even though it's just a daily task system, who knows what strange things might happen in the future that might unlock other applications?
