The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

Knowing he would die if he didn't save himself, Lu Ming tied the bed sheets he could find on the second floor into a rope after he got down safely, and tied it to the foot of the big bed in Yusaha's room on the second floor.

"I'll go down first, then you two hurry up and come down too. Got it?" He opened the window and threw down a rope made of bed sheets. After saying a few words to Lily and Yusaha, Lu Ming was the first to climb down the rope to the ground outside.

Just as he landed, Lu Ming was nearly slashed by a dagger from a lurking wandering spirit. Had he not been aware of the possibility of encountering such a situation and hadn't been on guard, he might have already been injured.

"Don't think I watched all those zombie movies for nothing!" With his heart pounding in his chest, Lu Ming used a sage's candlestick to sever the wandering soul's neck along with its cervical vertebrae!

Taking a slight breath, Lu Ming continued to fire at the slowly approaching wandering souls with his seed machine gun while signaling Lily and Yusaha upstairs to come down quickly.

Soon, under Lu Ming's protection, Lily and Yusaha were able to get outside using the bed sheet rope.

"What are zombie movies?" Yusaha asked Lu Ming as soon as he landed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming, who was using a dagger to force a wandering spirit away, stumbled and almost got slashed by the spirit.

"Please don't ask, okay? Now is not the time to ask these things. If you get bitten by an unfortunate person, you might not be able to save yourself!"

"why?"

"I told you not to ask!"

After forcing away a wandering spirit blocking their way, Lu Ming and his companions quickly ran onto the main road and headed towards the lord's mansion, which was guarded by a large number of well-equipped soldiers.

Just as Lu Ming and the other two had thought, the guards of the lord's manor quickly suppressed the wandering spirits as soon as they saw them.

Although the wandering spirits continued to roar, their attacks were completely useless against the guards' large shields. They were quickly cut off by their hands and feet and fell to the ground one by one, wailing in agony!

"Yusaha, what's going on?" At this moment, Yusaha's brother, Hax, came out of the lord's manor, glanced at the dozens of wandering souls on the ground outside the manor, and asked Yusaha with some concern.

"What else could it be? Viscount Hatu is behind this!" After running for half a day, Lu Ming, who was exhausted, sat down on the ground and said with a bit of a complaint.

"Viscount Hatu?" Hax paused for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant. Pointing at the wandering spirits lying on the ground, he asked incredulously, "You mean these wandering spirits were all created by Viscount Hatu?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?"

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

That evening, outside the Tutankhamun prison in the northwest corner of Paris, Lu Ming, Yusaha, and Lily were escorting the wandering spirits who had attacked Yusaha's mansion during the day, along with a priest from a church and a large group of soldiers.

Because of the mission of escorting wandering souls, the priest casually gave Lu Ming the Dark Hand that had already been purified. Although it only removed the ability to absorb souls and could be used to generate a shield similar to that of a soul-devouring ghost using ordinary magic, Lu Ming was still quite satisfied.

Soul absorption is something that can be dangerous if not handled properly; the user could suffer the consequences, so it's best to avoid it.

As the prison gates opened, Lu Ming and the others escorted the prison van carrying the wandering soul into the prison.

Looking at the gloomy scene in the prison, Lu Ming subconsciously shuddered, and the priest also looked displeased.

After all, this place is just too eerie and terrifying; it doesn't resemble a normal place at all.

"Your Excellency Sheriff, Your Excellency Priest, please bring these monsters with you." Just as Lu Ming and the priest were frowning as they looked at the scene inside the prison, a chubby jailer walked over and respectfully addressed them.

"Okay! Let's go!" This prompted the soldiers to carefully carry the wandering souls, and Lu Ming and the priest led everyone into the deepest part of the prison.

Here, Lily met her father, Kurad Helas, who was now nothing more than a skeleton, skin and bones. Yusahar also saw his sister Miral, who, like Kurad, was now skin and bones.

Although both of them longed to talk to their loved ones, unfortunately, they were already wandering spirits and could not be brought back to life.

After glancing at Lily and Yusaha, who both looked sad, Lu Ming pulled them away, not wanting them to remain wandering spirits of their loved ones.

"Throw them in!" The jailer's words caused the soldiers to toss the wandering souls into a huge cell and leave. After all the souls were inside, they locked the iron doors of the cell.

Seeing that the mission was complete, Lu Ming and the priest prepared to leave, not wanting to stay in this awful place any longer.

However, at that moment, a prison guard suddenly said to Lu Ming, "You can't bring down Viscount Hatu, so stop."

Then, before Lu Ming could react, he disappeared into the prison.

Looking at the spot where the jailer had been standing, Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Playing tricks!" He then quickly led Lily and Yusaha out of the prison and headed towards the commercial district. Since Yusaha's mansion had been destroyed due to the wandering spirits, they planned to book two rooms at a hotel to stay for the time being.

Meanwhile, at Viscount Hatu's residence, several of his men were reporting to him on the failure of yet another operation.

"That kid's got some skills, actually figuring out how to escape using a bedsheet. But once Lord Amani sends over the new monster, you're dead!" After hearing what happened during the day, Viscount Hatu wasn't angry; instead, he laughed. However, it was a cold, chilling laugh!

The update schedule has been changed. From now on, updates will be scheduled for 6-7 PM and 9 PM.

Chapter Thirteen - Nursery Rhymes (Please recommend, follow, and favorite)

At a hotel in the business district, Lu Ming originally planned to sleep in two rooms for one night and casually take advantage of Lily, his fiancée from the martial arts contest. However, because the hotel only had one room left, the three of them had to squeeze into one bed and make do for the night. Although he didn't manage to take advantage of Lily, the feeling of having two women on either side still gave Lu Ming, a lifelong shut-in who had never had a girlfriend, a small but satisfying experience. Moreover, this time he didn't have to be afraid, because Yusaha and Lily were the ones who willingly lay in his arms.

After getting dressed, Lu Ming left the hotel where his home had been destroyed by wandering spirits, forcing him to spend the night there.

Bathed in the warm sunlight, Lu Ming's eyes, however, were not so warm. His gaze remained fixed on the direction of the noble district, particularly on Viscount Hatu's side.

"Let's go. Let's go check out the lord's manor. The church should have already started investigating Viscount Hatu. I believe we'll have results by today!"

Yusaha couldn't help but feel a headache coming on at Lu Ming's optimism. To prevent Lu Ming from being surprised by the final outcome, she had to remind him, "Viscount Hatu's backer is one of the confidants of Grand Duke Ramtes Hedist of the Erebus Duchy. He can't be brought down by such a trivial matter!"

"So, in the end, we might have to be careful of assassination attempts by him?" Lu Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

"more or less."

"..." After receiving Yusaha's reply, Lu Ming paused for a moment, then frowned and turned his gaze to some children on the streets of the commercial district, muttering, "I never thought I would have a day when I would be learning nursery rhymes from the ancients."

"What nursery rhyme?"

"It's nothing." Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, then walked straight to the children, took out a few copper coins for them, and said some things that Lily and Yusaha didn't quite understand.

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

When Lu Ming and his two companions arrived outside the lord's mansion, a platform had already been set up for a speech, and many people who were clearly nobles had gathered around it.

Behind the makeshift platform were several seats, and in the very center sat Countess Luianali, Yusahar's mother. On either side of her sat a stout clergyman and a tall, thin nobleman.

"Is that your mother in the middle? Why is she wearing a mask?" Hiding in the crowd, Lu Ming pointed at Countess Luianali and asked Yusaha.

"Her face was burned by an enemy's fire magic during a battle, so..."

“Alright. So who are those two people? I don’t think I’ve seen them in the noble district!” Lu Ming pointed to the people on either side of the Countess and asked Yusaha.

A little annoyed by the questions, Yusaha glared at Lu Ming before answering, "The priest on the left is the high priest of the church, High Priest Ugolet. The one on the right is Viscount Rooney Altah, a close aide to our Grand Duke Ramtes Hedist. They don't usually appear, so it's normal that you haven't seen them before."

"Oh." Afraid of angering Yusaha, Lu Ming touched his nose and stopped asking questions.

At this moment, the high priest and the countess gave two manuscripts to a young-looking nobleman and asked him to go up to the platform and read them.

Helpless, the young nobles had no choice but to go up to the stage, take their manuscripts, and nervously begin to read them aloud.

"The other day, Lu Ming, the city's security officer, reported that Viscount Hatu had sent men to attack him. According to the investigation, the attackers were problematic mercenaries who had already been dismissed by Viscount Hatu. Their purpose in attacking Lu Ming was to smear Viscount Hatu, so we will execute them by hanging! This is to demonstrate the seriousness and importance that the higher-ups of Paris City attach to the matter of Viscount Hatu and Lu Ming..."

"Oh~ Is that so?" Because of Yusaha's slight reminder, Lu Ming was not surprised by this situation at all.

"Yesterday, Sheriff Lu Ming was attacked outside the city by a dark and evil man. According to him, this evil man was carrying the wasp emblem of Viscount Hatu's family. White magic apprentices and numerous priests in the city's church also confirmed that Sheriff Lu Ming was indeed attacked and that he went to the church with spoils and a burned wasp emblem..."

It's obvious that this was a draft given to you by the high priest of the church.

But just as Lu Ming was feeling a little grateful for the church's help, that damned young nobleman suddenly changed the subject and veered in a direction unfavorable to Lu Ming.

"However, after an investigation by the higher-ups in Paris City, it was discovered that the wasp emblem on that evil figure was actually stolen three months ago along with several pieces of treasure, and had nothing to do with Viscount Hatu. But given the repeated attacks on Sheriff Lu Ming, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone deliberately wanted to assassinate him. Further details will be released after the investigation is fully completed!"

This sudden turn of events infuriated Lu Ming. He even wanted to ask Yusaha whose side her mother was on.

However, at that moment, a servant hurriedly ran to the tall, thin viscount to the right of the countess and whispered a few words in his ear. Lu Ming clearly saw his expression change several times, finally turning from calm to one of fury.

Just as the nobles mistakenly thought the announcement was about to end and were preparing to bow and take their leave to the Countess, the High Priest, and the tall, thin Viscount, the tall, thin Viscount Rooney Alta ignored the Countess's furious glare and walked onto the platform on his own.

Upon seeing this, Yusaha and Lily instinctively gripped Lu Ming's hands tightly, worried that Viscount Alta might say something detrimental to Lu Ming.

But Lu Ming knew that Viscount Alta was on his side this time.

And the words of Viscount Alta the next moment proved this point!

"I am Viscount Rooney Altah, representing Grand Duke Ramtes Hedist. I have come up to this platform because I am disappointed by the biased and protective behavior of the Paris City's higher-ups towards Viscount Hatu!"

In an instant, the crowd below the platform erupted in cheers. They stared at Viscount Alta in disbelief, whispering amongst themselves.

Even Yusaha and Lily were no exception.

"According to my subordinates' investigation, Viscount Hatu was the mastermind behind the two attacks on Lu Ming, the security officer! Furthermore, as far as I know, Viscount Hatu has also been plotting to overthrow our Grand Duke and take his place! The decision made by the Paris high command makes me suspect that they are supporting Viscount Hatu's rebellion!"

Viscount Rooney Altay spoke with great passion, instantly provoking doubt among the lower-ranking nobles about the higher-ups, and causing the Countess and others to look at him with a cold gaze.

However, nobles are nobles; they won't stand up for a commoner sheriff. So Viscount Alta continued, "However, for the sake of fairness and justice, the Grand Duke and I will not directly attack Viscount Hatu. We need sufficient evidence to prove Viscount Hatu's treasonous intentions, so the Grand Duke's army will arrive tomorrow to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Viscount Hatu, his family, and the high-ranking officials of Paris City. The matter between Sheriff Lu Ming and Viscount Hatu will be resolved through a duel. If Sheriff Lu Ming wins, as compensation, he will be ennobled as a baron and receive a portion of Viscount Hatu's family's property. But if Viscount Hatu wins, the charge of plotting to attack and kill Sheriff Lu Ming will be dropped, and he will only be investigated for whether he truly amassed troops and intended to rebel! As for the time of the duel, it will be tomorrow evening, right here where we are standing now!"

After speaking, Viscount Alta walked down the podium step by step under Viscount Hatu's furious gaze. He stood tall and proud, arrogantly ignoring Viscount Hatu, and quickly returned to his seat to talk to Countess Luyanali, whose eyes were gloomy.

After listening to all the speeches, Lu Ming stroked his chin, which now had a small mustache, and then pulled the stunned Yusaha and Lily away.

Meanwhile, Viscount Hatu, with a horribly gloomy expression, led his men away from there.

Upon returning to his study in the mansion, Viscount Hatu swept everything off his desk and roared furiously, "That damned bastard! How did he know my plan?!"

He then pointed to several of his men who had come down, and angrily demanded, "Speak!! Who leaked the information?! Speak!!"

“I don’t think anyone leaked the news!” Just then, one of Viscount Hatu’s daughters suddenly walked in with a document and handed it to Viscount Hatu.

After only a few glances, Viscount Hatu slumped into his chair as if deflated, staring at his daughter in disbelief.

"Wasp, wanting to be called Duke. Destroy the flying dragon, and take its place. Scorpion with its claws, not one remains. Former courtiers, all slaughtered. Six hundred years, the Queen Bee!" Hatu's daughter sang a nursery rhyme with a smile, then said to her father, "This nursery rhyme suddenly appeared today. I suppose Uncle Alta's sudden decision to side with that commoner named Lu Ming is partly because of this!"

“Since ancient times, nursery rhymes have been associated with destiny and divine will. If the Grand Duke were to hear this nursery rhyme and learn of our plan, then all the hard work that Lord Amani and I have put in would be for nothing!”

"Father, do you still have the mind to care about all that hard work? Do you really think that the Grand Duke knew nothing about your affair with that royal illegitimate child, Armani?"

"What do you mean? Wait! You mean, the Grand Duke actually knew all along! Alta's sudden change of stance wasn't entirely because of this nursery rhyme, but rather a wake-up call for me!?"

“That’s right! The night before last, I spoke with those monsters wearing skull armor. From them, I learned that Amani, this bastard son, doesn’t value you at all. He has many powerful and rational monsters with him. What he gave you was just a defective product! Furthermore, he also has connections with the Grand Duke, which means…”

Chapter Fourteen - A New Dungeon (Please recommend and add to your favorites)

"Young Dragon Emblem Ring: A ring that slightly enhances the power of soul, fire, and dragon spells."

This ring, crafted with a special technique using the teeth of a baby dragon and a special metal, is a treasure bestowed upon magicians by the Pihem Dragon Academy. The young dragon on it foreshadows the long and arduous path of magical research.

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

Sitting on the sofa in Furen's mansion, Lu Ming looked at the experience bar on his phone, which was still 268 points short of leveling up, and sighed slightly.

"The Soul-Sucking Ghosts and those wandering spirits only give a little over 1100 experience points, while the rabbits outside the city are only giving 1 experience point each. It looks like there's no chance of leveling up before this damned duel."

Although the upgrade seemed far off, Lu Ming was in a fairly good mood at the moment. This was because shortly after he, Lily, and Yusaha arrived at the Furen Mansion, he received messages from the Will of the World, Plu, and the God of Magic.

"For some reason, I took a skill from you, so as compensation, I put two fire stones in your inventory."
