The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

“Very good! We’ll pause our investigation of the plan for the next few days and resume it after this highly suspicious monster-assisted battle tournament ends.”

"You mean, this competition is also part of this plan?"

"Pretty much. At the very least, it's used to select people." Lu Ming nodded.

"..."

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

In the early morning, just like yesterday, Lu Ming led Kanina, Princess Ella, and some of Princess Ella's guards into the woods outside the town of Kalysop, intending to practice with magical beasts such as the Magic Rabbit.

However, there are a few new members in this team today. They are Viscount Zeldalor and his Crescent Wolf, and Ella's Pokémon Snorlax, which was delivered from Agamemnon late at night.

Just as everyone began training, and Saldallo frantically directed Crescent Wolf to use Wind Blade to hunt bird-like magical beasts, Lu Ming was writing down Ella's Snorlax's moves in his notebook.

"How could a little girl use such a gluttonous beast? Or is she just rich and willful?" While recording Snorlax's moves one by one, Lu Ming couldn't help but make a comment!

"Snorlax!" Perhaps hearing Lu Ming's complaint, the Snorlax, which was half the height of a person, slapped a large tree in half!

"Is it very proud? It seems to have a decent personality, but these skills..." Looking expressionlessly at the Snorlax that resembled a large bear, Lu Ming glanced at the skills recorded in his notebook and sighed.

"Impact, slap, trample, mega-punch, belly drum, freezing punch. All offensive skills, no ranged attacks, no combo moves like sleep or snoring..."

"What's wrong? Isn't this skill good?" Saldallo, who had failed to catch the bird and instead got pecked, walked over with a dejected look on his face. He overheard Lu Ming's mutterings and asked with some confusion.

Lu Ming turned his head and stared at Saldallo without saying a word until Saldallo felt uneasy before finally saying, "Congratulations, you're not the worst anymore."

"What does this mean, teacher?!" "Kirby~!"

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, Princess Ella and her Snorlax immediately cried out.

"Never mind. Stinky Flower, Lu'er, let's go deeper into the forest." With a sigh, Lu Ming, who had no way to deal with this disciple of high status, led Stinky Flower and Lu'er into the depths of the forest.

Can't afford to provoke, can I still not hide?

However, after walking for only five minutes, Lu Ming, Chou Chou Hua, and Lu'er realized that something was wrong with their surroundings.

The trees that were originally normal have all turned into the kind of dead trees used in old cartoons to create a scary atmosphere, like ghosts and monsters.

This kind of thing is only good for scaring little kids like Kanina, Ella, and Yul Sica. It's completely useless to him, Stinky Flower, and Lu'er, who has no idea what these things are.

"Is this scene meant to scare us to death by our own fears?" Looking at the sky, which was supposed to be early morning but had turned as dark as midnight, Lu Ming muttered to himself while listening to the sounds around him.

Suddenly, a soft sound came from a clearing not far away. It was as if something had stepped on a dry twig!

No sooner said than done, upon hearing the slight sound, Lu Ming immediately ordered Gloomy Flower, "Gloomy Flower, sleep powder!"

Instantly, the Stinky Flower released a large amount of blue pollen, completely covering the area from which the sound came.

But the illusions around him didn't stop; instead, they became increasingly real.

The withered trees all around seemed to have turned into tree spirits, baring their fangs and howling.

Both Lu'er and Chou Chou Hua unconsciously moved closer to Lu Ming, wanting to get protection from him.

A few seconds later, that faint sound came again from not far away.

"Given the speed at which the Gloomy Flower's sleeping powder covered the area, even a centaur couldn't have avoided it. That means that thing isn't even here. While the sound wasn't an illusion, our judgment of location was flawed..."

At this moment, Lu Ming realized why the sleep powder from the Stinky Flower hadn't hit the target before, so he was confident that he wouldn't repeat the same mistake this time.

"Gloom, Sleep Powder!" As the sound of stepping on a dry twig rang out again, Lu Ming immediately turned around, pointed in the opposite direction of the sound, and gave the order to Gloom.

"What!?" Just as the smelly shower sprayed out a large amount of sleep powder, a child's scream suddenly came from the spot Lu Ming was pointing to.

As the sleeping powder was sprinkled, the surrounding forest quickly returned to normal. The withered trees, which had looked like ghosts, transformed back into vibrant, thriving trees. The sky, which had been as dark as the dead of night, also regained its light.

In the area covered by the sleep powder, a little girl dressed in black Hanfu appeared.

She was about the same age as Kanina, only not as tall. Her black hair and Asian features from the world Lu Ming had traveled to before made him feel a sense of familiarity, especially since he was used to seeing European features in Mira Caesar's world.

Lu Ming had no idea why the child was playing tricks on him. Furthermore, he didn't know if the child was an assassin or spy for Muspelheim.

Lu Ming, along with Chou Chou Hua and Lu'er, sat down under a large tree not far away and waited for the little girl of unknown origin to wake up.

After about five minutes, the little girl in the black Hanfu finally broke free from the effects of the sleep powder and slowly woke up.

"Who are you?" Seeing that the little girl was awake, Lu Ming immediately asked. However, he didn't use Mirakessa or any other language, but rather Chinese.

Because of the Hanfu the little girl was wearing, Lu Ming subconsciously assumed she was also a time traveler. Unfortunately...

"What did you say?" The little girl, who had just woken up and was still a bit dazed, couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

"What's your name?" With a slight sigh and some disappointment, Lu Ming switched back to Mirakesa and asked the little girl again.

"My name is Xiaolingxian... Wait! Why should I tell you?!" After subconsciously saying her name, the little girl immediately realized what she had done and looked at Lu Ming with a wary expression.

Lu Ming smiled slightly and said with ill intent, "Because if you don't tell, you're dead!"

"Whoa!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingxian was startled and quickly ran back. But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Lu Ming's arms!

Slowly raising her head, Xiao Lingxian saw Lu Ming staring at her expressionlessly, and she was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud.

"Why did you trap me with an illusion?" Crouching in front of Little Fairy, Lu Ming drew his Irithyll Straight Sword from his waist, held it to Little Fairy's neck, and asked coldly.

“A nobleman asked me to do something, saying he would give me a lot of money.”

Hearing Xiao Lingxian's words, Lu Ming knew that the people of Muspelheim were about to attack him, but there was no one else around. What was their purpose in having Xiao Lingxian do this?

Why did he ask you to do this?

"I don't know either, but..." A strange smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Lingxian's face, which startled Lu Ming, who quickly stepped aside.

"You won't be able to save those people in time!" With that, Little Fairy vanished in an instant.

Lu Ming also learned what those guys were planning to do from Xiao Lingxian's last words.

"Damn it!" Lu Ming cursed under his breath, then hurriedly took Chou Chou Hua and Lu'er and ran back the way they came.

Those people's goal was simple: to stall him and gain enough time to attack Ella and the others, so that the Grand Duke could execute him on the grounds that he failed to protect the princess and caused her to be attacked and killed!

Running through the woods, Lu Ming gritted his teeth, cursing the nobleman who came up with the plan in his heart, wishing him to die immediately from a body covered in festering sores!

"Kanina, Ella, you two can't get hurt!"

His daughter's well-being and that of Princess Ella, whose fate was tied to his own, were what worried Lu Ming most right now. After all, one was his daughter, and the other was a crucial figure who could decide whether he would be executed. He couldn't bear the thought of even one of them being harmed.

Chapter 18 - The Centaurs Strike Again

Not long after Lu Ming headed deeper into the woods, Ella and Kanina lazily stopped their monotonous practice of the Franz short arrow. Although they couldn't yet use the Franz short arrow to hit exactly where they wanted, they no longer needed to practice much.

However, due to the dangers of the Farron Rapier, the two of them didn't foolishly start practicing it. Having had enough of the repetitive training, they began researching Snorlax's skills and tactics.

"Is this Dad's notebook?" Just as the two of them were wondering where to start their research, Snorlax handed a small notebook to Kanina.

"What does it say? Why can't I understand it?" Princess Ella leaned closer to Kanina and looked at Lu Ming's notes with her. But in the end, she was defeated because Lu Ming used Chinese characters.

“My mother taught me a little bit of the words on it before, so I can understand a little bit of them.”

"What does it say?" At this moment, Viscount Saldallo, who was resting nearby, also came over.

“Um…” Kanina flipped through the pages and began to read aloud: “Regarding the methods of using miracles, let’s take Jack’s Thunder Spear, Giant Thunder Spear, and Sunlight Spear as examples. Miracles are special abilities that clergymen use to transform the stories of gods with their own faith. But exactly how they are done is still unknown. If we can find a method, relying on the stories of the Deep, the Darkmoon, King Gwyn, the Sun Princess and the Queen, as well as the stories of Gravelord Nito and the Witch, we should be able to replicate more than ten kinds of miracles that I can use.”

"Uh, it seems we've learned something terrible." Upon hearing the word 'Deep,' Saldallo knew something was wrong, but he was so surprised that he forgot to stop Kanina and ended up listening to the entire contents of the notebook.

"Is this that big of a deal?" Ella asked, sitting on the grass nearby, looking puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, this power that my father calls a miracle is like soul magic—a power that doesn't belong to Miracaesar or even this continent!"

After a moment of silence, Saldallo thought for a moment, then told Kanina to continue reading the notes. Just not anything related to miracles; he didn't want to be silenced by the corrupted Lu Ming!

"Continue! But don't read about miracles anymore."

"Okay!" Kanina nodded. Not wanting to upset Lu Ming, she flipped through several pages before continuing to read: "I don't yet know what kind of power the sorcery originating from the witch of Izaris and her daughter possesses. But if I encounter another sorcerer from Bajedon or the Great Swamp again, I must ask them about the method of using the sorcery. I just hope that sorcerer isn't a dark sorcerer who follows the dark path."

"Did you do this on purpose?" Saldallo asked, looking frustrated, after hearing yet another piece of information that seemed impossible to know.

"Um, can't I read this either?" Kanina looked at Viscount Saldal with an innocent expression.

"Nonsense! Do you want me to die? You better read the information about Snorlax's moves!" Zeldalow was so angry with Kanina that he had nothing to say but roar.

"Yes!" Startled by Zaldaro's roar, Kanina immediately began reciting Snorlax's moves obediently. However, she was already somewhat resentful of Zaldaro. When Lu Ming returned, she was determined to make him teach Zaldaro a lesson!

"Ella's Snorlax. Although its strength isn't bad, it doesn't know the most important moves: Sleep and Snoring. I really don't know what to say. Moreover, this Snorlax doesn't even know a single ranged move. It's completely unqualified! Putting aside Hyper Beam, the strongest move, it can't even throw a rock accurately! I don't know if Ella entrusted it to some guard who was obsessed with slaying flying dragons to train. It has too many weaknesses! Without raising speed-type Pokémon like Lucario, Blaziken, and Arcanine, just looking at Pokémon like Magnemite, Koffing, and Taiga that can float in mid-air, this Snorlax has no chance of winning. Moreover, compared to the weakest Flying-type, this Snorlax is completely outmatched."

"Ugh! Why did you have to say such things about my Snorlax! I don't have time to take care of Snorlax, is it wrong to leave it to the guards?" Princess Ella shouted immediately after hearing Lu Ming's evaluation of her Snorlax.

Unfortunately, no one could persuade or comfort her now, because a group of centaurs suddenly ran out from all sides and surrounded them!
