The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

“Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; no one can win forever. Everyone experiences failure, just like your father, I’ve made mistakes too, haven’t I?” Slowly sitting up, Lu Ming reached out and patted Kanina’s little head, smiling.

"Ugh..." Although she was still a little angry, since Lu Ming had already said that, Kanina stopped thinking about it.

Just as Lu Ming, who was a little tired, finished comforting Kanina, Viscount Saldallo, who had been hanging up and beating up by Count Artus Lecoed in the Eastern Martial Arts Arena, arrived.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ming asked with a smile as he glanced at Saldallo.

"I was abused."

How bad was it?

"My Crescent Wolf didn't even touch Count Lecord's Tyrannosaurus once throughout the entire match..."

"how about you?"

"Same......"

After saying that, Saldallo suddenly saw the Gloxinia carrying a bowl of snacks and exclaimed, "What's going on?! This morning, wasn't Gloxinia only the size of a washbasin? Now it's as tall as Kanina?!"

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to his surprise. Even the tyrant herself sat down next to Lu Ming and started eating.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Saldallo had no choice but to stop dwelling on the problem, otherwise he would have driven himself crazy with worry.

"Fine, judging from your expressions, you won't say it anyway." After a slight complaint, Viscount Saldallo took out two invitations from his clothes and handed them to Lu Ming.

"This is an invitation from Earl Harvin Leggett. He's hosting a small banquet at his house tomorrow afternoon. In addition to the four outstanding contestants from the competition, Nero and I are also invited."

“Mira…” Looking at the emblem on the cover of the invitation, Lu Ming’s brows furrowed slightly.

The emblem was an insect that resembled a combination of an ant and a beetle, a type of Mirana in the Tartarus dialect.

"This count seems to have ill intentions," Lu Ming said with a cold smile, gently stroking the emblem on the invitation.

“Who says otherwise!” Saldallo also knew that Earl Haven Leggett had ill intentions, but said helplessly, “But who among us has the right to refuse his invitation? Putting aside the fact that he is an earl, just the fact that he is my father’s advisor makes it impossible for us to refuse.”

"So, is our Princess Ella in danger again this time?" Lu Ming tossed the two invitations onto the coffee table and sighed softly, "What a hassle!"

“Yeah, it’s a real hassle!” Saldallo sighed as well.

Although Kanina couldn't understand what the two of them were saying, she knew that Earl Harvin Leggett was probably not a good person, so she went to warn Ella so that she wouldn't panic if she encountered an unexpected situation tomorrow.

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

On the afternoon of the second day, Lu Ming, feeling slightly better, took Vileplume, Princess Ella, and her Snorlax to the other end of the noble district of Paris City.

Looking at the guest house in front of him, which was many times better than his own, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the previous Countess Luianali really didn't care about money when it came to spending money on things that affected her image.

"My lord, may I ask who you are?" Just as Lu Ming and Ella arrived at Count Leggett's temporary residence in Paris, a servant suddenly came out of the courtyard and asked Lu Ming.

“Lu Ming, the Sword-Biting Wolf.” Lu Ming pulled out an invitation from inside his clothes and introduced himself with his name and emblem.

"Your Excellency, Princess, please come in!" Upon seeing the invitation, the servants immediately and respectfully ushered Lu Ming, Ella, Vileplume, and Snorlax into the mansion.

As soon as Lu Ming entered the courtyard, he saw several unfamiliar people. However, judging from the two-legged wyvern in the yard, one of them should be Asos Soren, who had defeated Kanina to advance to the semi-finals.

Like Lu Ming and Ella, those invited by Count Leggett all brought their own magical beasts, just in case anything went wrong.

Even Counts Artus and Nero brought along a Firestorm Beast and a large dog that seemed to be some kind of native magical beast.

"The banquet hasn't even started yet, and they've already divided into camps?" Lu Ming muttered to himself as he looked at Artus, Nero, and Saldallo standing on the left, and then at Asos Sauron and a few unfamiliar nobles on the right. He then led Ella over to Saldallo and the other two.

"It looks like things are going badly."

“Yes. Asos is now a Legatite, and the nobles around him are also Legatites. There are also some Legatites in the house. Now, Her Highness's safety depends solely on us and our magical beasts.” Saldalor nodded slightly, then said to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming glanced at him and asked in confusion, "Then why don't you bring your own magical beast?"

"My Crescent Wolf's fur has been sparsely trimmed by Lecod's Firestorm Beasts, how am I supposed to bring it over?" Saldallo retorted angrily.

Upon hearing this, Artus Lecord and his Firestorm Beast, standing to the side, touched their noses somewhat embarrassedly.

At this moment, a masked woman in black suddenly walked out of the house, slowly approached Lu Ming and the others, bowed slightly, and said, "Amelia of Londor greets you all."

Upon hearing that the woman was from Rondor, Lu Ming felt an involuntary aversion to Amelia due to the wolf blood within him. However, since Lu Ming himself did not reject people from Rondor, this aversion was not obvious.

"People of Londor?" Lu Ming glanced at Amelia and couldn't help but sigh. "Have the nobles already made contact with the Abyss?"

"My Lord of the Undead Legion, why are you so hostile to us wandering souls? I hope you can face the hearth squarely and stop being deceived by the foolish idea of ​​linking the fire." Amelia smiled and then handed a silver wolf-shaped crest pendant to Lu Ming.

"What is this?" Lu Ming was taken aback when he saw the wolf-biting emblem on the pendant.

“My lord, please remember that the gates of Londor are always open to you.” Amelia bowed slightly once more before walking toward Asos Soren and the others.

“…” Looking at Amelia’s back, Lu Ming seemed to see a familiar person.

This feeling puzzled him. He had never met this Amelia before, nor had he ever dealt with anyone from Rondor. Yet, judging from Amelia's tone, it seemed she knew him. And why did she have his crest ornament?

Lu Ming really wanted to figure this out, but unfortunately, he had no clues.

"Do you know her?" Saldallo took the pendant from Lu Ming's hand, examined it carefully, and then asked Lu Ming.

Lu Ming knew why Saldallo was asking that question. After all, none of them had revealed their identities before, so how could Amelia have so accurately handed the pendant to Lu Ming if she didn't know him? Therefore, he said somewhat helplessly, "She shouldn't know me. But she seems to know who I am, and that I'm part of the Undead Legion. I'm a little confused now too."

Because Lu Ming did indeed have a puzzled look on his face, Saldallo returned the ornament to Lu Ming and stopped asking about Amelia in Rondor.

A few minutes after Amelia emerged, the host of the small party, Haven Leggett, appeared before everyone.

With a gloomy appearance and a small mustache, he addressed the crowd, saying, "Welcome everyone to my banquet. The feast is ready; please follow me."

Seeing this, Lu Ming and Artus Lecord exchanged a glance, then stood on either side of Princess Ella, following Count Leggett into the mansion. Vileplume, Typhlosion, and Snorlax followed behind them in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Perhaps sensing Lu Ming and the others' cautiousness, Leggett, who was walking in front, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smiled without batting an eye.

Saldallo couldn't help but frown upon seeing this.

Soon, led by Count Leggett, the group arrived at a large banquet hall.

Walking step by step to the long dining table in the banquet hall, Leggett smiled at everyone and said, "Please take your seats!"

"Please sit down." After glancing at the large table prepared next to the dining table for monsters, Lu Ming let Princess Ella sit down first, and then sat down on either side of Princess Ella with Artus.

Although sitting like this is a bit against the rules, for Ella's safety, it's best to put the rules aside for now.

Seeing that Ella, Lu Ming, and Artus were the first to take their seats, Nero, Saldallo, and Asos and others also took their seats.

To everyone's surprise, Amelia of Londor sat next to Lu Ming, forcing Nero to sit opposite Asos and the others.

"Do we know each other? You know I'm a member of the Farron Immortals. You, a little girl from Londor, sitting next to me, isn't that like a rabbit sitting next to a wolf?" Lu Ming couldn't help but ask Amelia, who was sitting next to him, out of doubt.

“Of course I know him. He’s the leader of the Undead Legion, a nobleman from Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, and food of the Deep Saint Aldrich!” Amelia laughed as she spoke to Lu Ming.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's pupils contracted sharply. Only Kanina truly knew that Eldridge would devour him. Why did this little girl from Rondor also know of that future possibility?

Who is your mother?

"Who is my mother? You'll find out soon enough, sir." (To be continued.)

Chapter Thirty-Nine - Part of the Plan

After a brief chat, Lu Ming had a slight guess about Amelia's identity. Although he didn't know if it was correct, at least he knew that Amelia of Rondor was not his enemy.

Seated at the dining table, a group of simply dressed servants quickly placed platters of delicious dishes on the long table. Even the table where the monsters and Pokémon sat was set with various kinds of food.

Seeing this, Ella's Snorlax couldn't resist any longer and immediately started grabbing food and stuffing it into its mouth, making Ella's face turn as red as a red apple.

To help Ella out of her predicament, Count Artus Lecord reluctantly signaled to his Typhlosion to start eating as well. Then Lu Ming, Nero, and Asos (who wasn't on their side) also signaled to their Pokémon and Monsters to start eating.

Even so, Snorlax's gluttony still embarrassed Princess Ella. Because all the other Pokémon and Monsters combined didn't eat as much as Snorlax!

“You need to eat to have strength, don’t you, Your Highness?” Suddenly, Leggett, sitting in the host’s seat, chuckled sinisterly and asked Princess Ella.

Although his question seemed to be helping Princess Ella out of a tight spot, it was actually a veiled criticism of her incompetence.

“Regette, I advise you not to go too far,” Count Artuslecod said suddenly, just as Princess Ella was wondering how to respond.

“Alright, since you’ve said so, Lecoed,” Leggett said, seemingly quite helpless. But everyone present could tell that Leggett wasn’t going to listen to Lecoed.

Leggett stopped his sarcasm and provocations towards Princess Ella only to avoid being perceived as a mean-spirited person by everyone present.

"Please, everyone, eat. After you finish eating, I will show you some things. Some things that His Majesty the Emperor has secretly prepared." Leggett picked up his knife and fork and ate as he spoke to the others.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming and Saldallo realized that the banquet was actually a way for the Grand Duke to inform the powerful nobles about his and the other nobles' plans. However, neither of them had expected that Princess Ella's father, Emperor Miracaissa, also held a significant position in this plan.

"If you're afraid I'll poison you, please rest assured. I'm not stupid enough to do something so obviously obvious that I'm the murderer."

“Hehe, Count, you’re quite the joker! Hehehe…” Athos Soren was the first person present, besides Leggett, to start eating.

With him taking the lead, everyone else had no choice but to start eating.

While eating, Lu Ming was constantly checking everyone's plates for any powdery substance. He eventually discovered that this substance, which was likely poison, was only found in his and Asos's plates; everyone else's plates contained ordinary stuff.

But this thing doesn't seem to be poison or anything like that; rather, it looks like some kind of undissolved seasoning.

However, no matter what, Lu Ming would never touch the food on that plate. Even if Leggett played some trick where not eating would cause poisoning, with the Queen of the Sea by his side, Lu Ming wouldn't be intimidated.

Before coming here, Lu Ming had conducted an experiment using the magic rabbit and a large number of poison arrows he found in Miharbour.

It turned out that Arbok's venom could kill a Pokémon in just three seconds. However, with Vileplume's aromatherapy, the poisoned Pokémon would automatically detoxify itself the next second. Therefore, with Vileplume around, which could even cure the potent poison of a Poison-type Pokémon like Arbok, Lu Ming was completely immune to poison.

After everyone except Lu Ming, who hadn't touched the food, and Amelia, who was wearing a mask and therefore not eating, finished eating, Leggett said with a sinister smile, "Now that everyone has finished eating, please come with me."

After saying that, Leggett wiped his mouth, stood up, and began to walk towards the basement of the mansion.

Seeing this, everyone naturally followed. Only Lu Ming and Artus remembered they had brought Monsters and Pokémon. The others seemed to have forgotten they had brought them at all.

However, since someone remembered, Lu Ming and Atus naturally called upon their magical beasts and Pokémon as well. If they weren't so tall that they couldn't enter the basement, Atus's Salamence would probably have caught up with them on its own.

Standing at the basement door, Count Leggett said somewhat frantically, "Gentlemen, prepare yourselves. What is about to happen will be extremely exciting!"

After saying that, he forcefully opened the basement door.

Immediately, a strong smell of blood wafted out of the basement, surrounding Lu Ming and the others.

In an instant, everyone, including Lu Ming, felt their stomachs churning. Soon, everyone except Lu Ming, Amelia, and Leggett rushed outside and vomited violently.

"The anti-nausea medication didn't work? Why are the two people who took the medication acting perfectly fine?" Count Leggett looked at Lu Ming, who was feeling a little unwell but hadn't vomited, and Amelia, whose face was obscured by a mask, with a strange expression, and muttered to himself.

"What's next?" Once the discomfort in his stomach subsided, Lu Ming immediately asked Leggett.

Leggett smiled slightly and said, "Soldier."

Upon hearing this answer, both Lu Ming and Amelia were taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Leggett didn't answer, but waited for the others to return one by one, and then led them into the basement.

Contrary to expectations of a basement littered with corpses, the place was relatively clean. The intense stench of blood was emanating from a group of undead locked in cages.

"A caged man?" Looking at the monster formed by several incomplete undead locked in a small cage, Lu Ming murmured to himself.
