The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

"But it's too late now. We've already been dragged into this damned plan because of the fake Leggett's banquet!"

"No!" Lu Ming suddenly spoke up after listening to the others' comments. "It's not too late yet. We've only seen a small part of this plan; none of us know what's behind it. So we can't go any deeper. Otherwise, we'll only have the choice of joining or dying!"

"So, can we just pretend nothing happened?"

"I think so. Let's focus on the competition and managing our territories for now. Let's not worry about plans!"

"But after what happened yesterday, are we really able to continue our original lives?"

Lu Ming frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "You guys are already doing well. I'm the one who doesn't know how I'll get through the days to come!"

"Is it because of Amelia in Londor?" Saldallo looked at Lu Ming, who had a melancholy expression.

“Yes! Amelia’s coldness towards our Third Prince caused him to glare at me as I left. It’s obvious he holds a grudge. Although he’s just a prince and doesn’t have much influence over noble lords like us, he’ll definitely try to trip me up!” Lu Ming sighed.

"Looking at it this way, you really are in a sorry state! But what kind of place is Rondor? Why did Leggett invite her to yesterday's banquet? And why did the Third Prince treat her with such courtesy?"

"I've never been to Londor either. All I know is that it's a dark kingdom that worships the World Serpent Cass, and everyone there is a being of darkness. Moreover, apart from wandering spirits, no one there is truly human!"

"Wandering spirits? Are those the things in Tutankhamun's prison?" Nero asked with some surprise upon hearing the word "wandering spirits."

"Yes." Lu Ming nodded slightly. But he quickly asked again, "Have you been to Tutankhamun's prison?"

"Yes. I was forced to go." Nero sighed deeply, his expression turning somewhat grim.

"That's not a good place at all!"

At that moment, one of Nero's servants suddenly entered, whispered a few words in Nero's ear, and then quickly left.

But judging from Nero's increasingly grim expression, the servant's arrival was certainly not good news.

"His Highness the Third Prince has asked us to go outside the city." Before Lu Ming and the others could ask what news the servant had brought, they heard Nero say this.

"What does he want us to do outside the city?" Artus Lecode asked Lu Ming and Saldallo, who were preparing to set off, with some confusion.

“Perhaps, like the fake Leggett, he’s preparing a surprise for us,” Lu Mingcai said, glancing briefly at the expression on Artus Lecoed’s face.

“We can already handle tomorrow’s surprise, why do we have to do it again?” Artus Lecoq exclaimed upon hearing Lu Ming’s answer.

"God knows."

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

About forty minutes later, Lu Ming and his companions rode their horses to the place where the Third Prince was located, a secret clearing near the Helen Forest outside Paris City.

As soon as they arrived, Lu Ming and the others saw two large iron cages covered with black cloth in the distance.

"It seems they really are planning to give me a surprise."

With a helpless sigh, Lu Ming and the other three dismounted and walked to where the Third Prince was.

Just like yesterday, the Third Prince ignored Lu Ming and the others' greetings, displaying extreme arrogance.

This time, however, since they already knew of the Third Prince's arrogant nature, Lu Ming and the other three ignored him, gave him a slight bow, and then left him alone.

After a while, when two more people arrived on horseback, the Third Prince had stools brought for Lu Ming and the others so they could sit down.

As for the two newcomers, Lu Ming knew them both. One was Asos Sauron, who was also among the top four in the Warcraft Assistance Battle Tournament, and the other was Count Rasfar.

Because of the old Rasfar's formidable reputation, the Third Prince dared not be negligent. After Rasfar took his seat, he said to him and the others, "The reason I invited you all here is to show you the abilities of my guards in capturing two kinds of monsters, and which one is stronger and which one is weaker."

As he spoke, the Third Prince suddenly waved his hand, and several armored soldiers tore off the black cloth covering the large iron cage, revealing what was inside.

Looking at the monsters inside the two large iron cages, Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, pondering the Third Prince's intentions.

Because the monsters inside those two large iron cages were a wandering spirit and a villager dressed in strange clothes!

"Your Highness! Is this the monster you spoke of? Why do I see an ordinary person?!" Before the Third Prince could speak, Old Rasfar roared in fury.

Overwhelmed by the imposing aura emanating from old Rasfar, the Third Prince couldn't help but swallow unconsciously.

But no matter what, the Third Prince is still a member of the royal family, and he will not forget the necessary composure because of fear.

He calmed his fear slightly, and then said to old Rasfar, "General Rasfar, please read it all before you give your evaluation."

After saying that, he ordered his men to release the people from the two large iron cages.

When the people in the two cages escaped, their bodies underwent tremendous changes!

Suddenly, a large amount of dark matter emerged from one body, transforming into the head and claw of a monster. Meanwhile, the other's head and neck suddenly exploded, unleashing a multitude of snake heads!

"This...this...this..." Old Rasfar was speechless as he stared at the two monsters. The sudden turn of events had utterly shocked him.

'The black thing must be human pus. And the other thing must be a monster from Bloodborne. But why is it here?' Looking at the two monsters, Lu Ming was extremely surprised. He never thought he would see a monster from Bloodborne again.

"Roar~!!" "Hiss~~"

Even from a great distance, Lu Ming and the others could still hear the cries of the two monsters, which made everyone except Lu Ming, who was already used to all kinds of monsters, feel a little scared.

"Lu Ming, you should recognize those two kinds of monsters, right? After all, you're a member of the Undead Squad!" The Third Prince suddenly asked Lu Ming out of the blue.

"Your Highness, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Heh heh heh, the Farron Undead Legion, the Abyss Watchers, wouldn't they recognize these things from the Dark Abyss?"

Lu Ming paused for a moment, then said, "Since you already know what this plague is, why did you still ask me?"

"Plague?" Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, the Third Prince and the others were taken aback and asked in confusion.

But no sooner had the Third Prince finished speaking than human pus began to ooze from the body of the soldier who had previously torn off the black cloth, startling everyone else.

However, Lu Ming wasn't frightened at all; on the contrary, it seemed as if he had known all along. (To be continued.)

Chapter 42 - Wolf Pack Alliance

"What's going on?!" Because his guard had suddenly turned into a monster, the Third Prince, out of shame and anger, grabbed Lu Ming by the collar and shouted at him.

Lu Ming glanced coldly at the Third Prince and smiled slightly, saying, "Longdaoer."

"What do you mean?"

"That is human pus, the product of the darkest aspects of humanity. It is something to be worshipped in Londor because it resembles the world serpent, the object of their worship."

"Why did my guards turn into that thing?!" the Third Prince roared furiously, causing Count Rasfar to frown and feel displeased.

“I told you, it’s a plague.” Lu Ming answered the Third Prince simply, then pushed him away, calmly straightened his collar, and turned his gaze to the two people tearing at the humanoid snake nest.

The Third Prince, pushed aside by Lu Ming, looked at him in disbelief. He was royalty; no one had ever dared to treat him like this. Unfortunately, he didn't know that, to this day, not a single noble had been anything but using him.

"You said that thing is the ultimate expression of humanity, why?" Old Rasfar suddenly asked Lu Ming.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the specifics. But I do know that thing once caused the downfall of a powerful kingdom. Perhaps Miracaiser will suffer the same fate as Lothric, being dragged down by the Pust of Man." Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Ming then took a bow and several arrows from a nearby soldier. After the Pust of Man killed the humanoid serpent nest from Bloodborne, he shot both of the Pust of Man dead with arrows.

"However, not now, at least not."

Watching Lu Ming casually toss away the bow, old Rasfar fell into deep thought.

As Lu Ming shot and killed those two men, he seemed to see an army, an army bound together by wolf blood.

"What kind of army is the Undead Legion?" Old Rasfar suddenly asked Lu Ming.

Hearing this question, Lu Ming looked at Old Rasfar with some surprise. He'd seen him summoned by the Third Prince along with the others, and he was also part of the plan to be brought closer to the royal family and nobility! Unexpectedly, he already knew something about the Undead Legion. However, as someone who called himself a member of the Undead Legion, it was inevitable that others would ask him.

"The Undead Legion is an army that is willing to destroy a country in order to purge those dark things," Lu Ming, who was already used to the arrogance and self-centeredness of the nobles, explained with a slight smile.

"If your army were in Miracathia and discovered that Miracathia was entangled with something dark, what would you do?"

"As for myself, I will probably purge as many places as I can. Others will probably purge every single person in this country."

"You're different from them? Why?"

“My three fiancées are all Mirakesar’s people, and I don’t want to purge them. Besides, most of those guys are emotionless. If their closest comrades are corrupted by darkness, they won’t hesitate to kill them. Although they are heroes, it’s hard for me to accept. However, if I were in that situation, I would probably do the same. You know, being corrupted by darkness is a terrible thing. Rather than letting comrades, family, and friends suffer, it’s better to let them die. Of course, if it’s an undead, I’ll burn it!”

After hearing Lu Ming's explanation, Saldallo, Nero, and Artus all involuntarily swallowed hard. In their eyes, the Undead Legion was an extremely terrifying army, and even Lu Ming, who was influenced by wolf blood, felt the same way.

Old Rasfar silently looked at Lu Ming, then sent Lu Ming and the other three people summoned by the Third Prince back to the city.

After Lu Ming and the others left, old Rasfar looked at the Third Prince beside him and said coldly, "Do you know that we old ministers have the right to choose which of His Majesty's sons or daughters to assist in ascending the throne? With what you're doing now, I really can't see any hope. Perhaps His Majesty has put you in charge of this matter in Erebus so that we will give up on considering you as someone to assist."

"This...this...this..." The Third Prince hadn't expected that his plan to forcefully include Lu Ming and the others, along with Old Rasfar, into the scheme would affect his chances of winning the throne. This left him speechless for a moment.

"Recently, the nobles of Erebus have been planning to contact the Undead Legion. They believe that neither the Deep nor the Abyss truly want to help Miracathia out of her current predicament; they have their own agendas and cannot wholeheartedly help us. Therefore, the Undead Legion, Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, Lothric, Kalimdor, Catarina, Piheim, and the Great Swamp are their primary targets for recruitment. And you are currently wasting a great deal of energy in the Abyss of Londor, which is truly inappropriate!" After giving these words, which sounded like advice but were actually a harsh reprimand, old Rasfar left and returned to Paris.

Watching old Rasfar's retreating figure, the Third Prince felt no gratitude, but rather deep resentment. In his view, old Rasfar should have told him all this long ago, otherwise Lu Ming and the others wouldn't have been able to laugh at him.

It was only because old Rasfar possessed special magic that, regardless of who killed him, most of the nobles in the capital would know who the mastermind was immediately.

This is the Wolf Pack Covenant established by the ministers with the help of the Church of Light in order to suppress the royal family and dissidents.

Because of this, the power of the royal family to choose a new emperor was taken away by the ministers.

Three hundred years ago, because of this alliance, nine-tenths of the royal family were assassinated by the ministers they had persecuted, forcing the royal family to relinquish most of its power. Although this made Miracaissa stronger, it was actually better for the royal family to have become weaker.

Unable to assassinate old Rasfar and the Rasfar family, the third prince could only return to Paris City in resentment to seek advice from Earl Harvin Leggett, who seemed relatively loyal to him. Unfortunately...

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

Lu Ming had only been back in the city a short time when he received a personal letter from Grand Duke Hadist. Although the letter was merely a warning to Lu Ming to forget everything he had seen at the fake Leggett's place, it still brought him a sense of relief.

After all, he no longer needs to worry about this plan for the time being.

But when he got home, he was startled to see Lily, Sham, and Miral with dark expressions on their faces.

"What's going on?" Lu Ming, who thought he hadn't done anything wrong, asked his three fiancées with some fear.

"What's wrong? Heh heh!" Sham suddenly chuckled sinisterly, then pulled out a silver pendant and demanded, "What's this?"

"A girl from Londoir gave it to me, I don't know how it came about." As soon as Lu Ming saw the hollowed-out wolf-biting emblem pendant, he knew what it was all about and quickly explained.

However, to his surprise, Sham became even angrier upon hearing this!

"What's with the inscription 'To my beloved Amelia'?!"

"Huh? Is there this passage on it?" Hearing Sham's question, Lu Ming was slightly taken aback. He then looked at the ornament over and over again, but did not find any text.

Seeing that Lu Ming really couldn't see the words on it, Sham and the others were taken aback for a moment, then pointed to a blank space on the ornament and said, "Here!"

"So what!" Lu Ming, still not seeing any text, said somewhat angrily, "If this is a joke, then the three of you have really scared me! So don't do this again!"

After saying that, Lu Ming tossed the ornament to Mirar and walked towards the study on his own.

Seeing this, although Sham and the other two were still a little angry, they could also tell that Lu Ming really couldn't see the words on the ornament. After all, it's impossible to act it out perfectly!

"What's going on?" Miral asked, puzzled, looking at the silver pendant with words that only they could see.

"I don't know. But this kind of crest isn't the kind of low-level crest given to servants to prove their family affiliation; it's a family crest given by nobles to their wives, lovers, or children. It can't be something simple! Moreover, the Bite Wolf crest was chosen by Lu Ming himself. Workshops capable of making such exquisite crests wouldn't dare to produce them without Lu Ming's permission! Most importantly, the craftsmanship of this crest is clearly Miracaissa's; it couldn't have been made by another country!" Sham was also somewhat puzzled, but she still suspected that Lu Ming might have someone else outside.

At this moment, Lily suddenly remembered Kanina's situation and asked Sham and Miral, "Could this Amelia be like Kanina?"
