The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated

45 – Hero’s Party Members (1)

After parting ways with Jax, the warrior party members were staying at the inn by themselves.

At the same time, they thought about what they had to do in the future.

“What should I do from now on?”

“I decided to go see the hero…”

“… That’s the only way, right?”

“I think so. Let’s follow Luna’s words.”

After thinking that way, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no other way than to find the first hero.

Now they were not very welcome in the empire. Even if a hero is selected again, there is no way they will be accepted as a hero party member.

In the end, they will not be able to achieve their goals using the same methods as before.

I had to somehow achieve the goal of defeating the Demon King.

In that sense, visiting the first hero was quite a trick.

The other party members did not refute Luna’s suggestion to go find the hero. Everyone agreed.

‘Because the only one who can turn this situation around is a hero.’

The strategy was to first defeat the demon king.

Of course, it is unclear whether they will achieve their goal because the first hero, Lee Han-su, is not recognized by the empire.

The unknown was ultimately the best and greatest.

If you do it right, you can somehow change the situation, right?

The power of the first hero was absolutely necessary.

“Lee Han-soo might be great.”

“… If you think about everything that has happened so far…”

Besides, now that I think about it, there’s something strange about it.

Also, the change in their evaluation also played a part in the reason why they wanted to visit warrior Lee Han-su.

At first, I did not evaluate warrior Lee Han-soo very well.

Even now, the evaluation has not completely changed.

Considering what happened during the reign of the Four Heavenly Kings, they had an untrustworthy opinion of warrior Lee Han-su.

However, if the situation reached this point, I had no choice but to look at it a little differently.

At the point when the second and third warriors fall, and the fourth warrior falls…

Rather, it was true that only the first untrustworthy hero survived.

Don’t the results prove it?

Even though I didn’t want to admit it, I had no choice but to admit it.

Rather than a hero who died fighting the devil, I couldn’t help but have expectations for a hero who fought the devil and survived even though he couldn’t win.

The value of the first hero has increased so much.

‘Aren’t heroes really strong?’

Again, this has not been confirmed.

We cannot rule out the possibility that he survived simply because he was lucky.

However, we had no choice but to open up the possibility.

Maybe they have a misunderstanding about Lee Han-soo?

Isn’t the evaluation of Lee Han-soo wrong due to that misunderstanding?

If they simply misunderstood, Lee Han-soo becomes a much stronger hero than the only other warriors who survived the Demon King.

“But, will the hero accept us? I think we broke up on a very bad note…”

“Umm…”

If so, what should we do?

If that’s true, wouldn’t the situation become ambiguous?

If Lee Han-soo was strong, they would have kicked him out without even knowing it…

This was quite a regrettable thing.

Leader Lee Han-su was exiled and before leaving, he told the empire and party members not to even dream of looking for me.

When they say they are coming to visit, will he really welcome them?

Will you accept us again?

Will you be able to release your feelings of disappointment with the party members?

I couldn’t figure it out.

“No, I will accept it. Everyone knows that warrior Lee Han-soo is a good person…”

“Oh… That’s right…!”

However, I knew very well that Lee Han-soo was a good man.

Even if the party members did not know about Lee Han-soo’s combat power, they had no choice but to know Lee Han-soo’s personality well.

Still, he was a party member who had been with me for a year. Having spent quite a bit of time with him, he knew very well what kind of personality Lee Hansoo was.

He had a really friendly personality and was full of affection.

They will probably accept them.

I will not pretend not to know the party members I have been with for a year.

Even if they didn’t accept it, I thought they could change their minds if they asked earnestly.

“I think we should meet first and then decide.”

“Where is warrior Lee Han-su…?”

Well, it’s meaningless to think about this at the moment.

The most important thing now was the whereabouts of warrior Lee Han-su.

Finding where he is is the most urgent task…

“I found it.”

“What? Really…?”

“Yes. I’m sure.”

Luna’s staff sparkled.

Luckily, it seemed like we found warrior Lee Han-su.

Everyone now knows what the nymphs are trying to do.

They were preparing to go to war with the elves.

I guess it’s none of my business…

It was completely irrelevant to me, and just as I was about to go home again, I decided to stop by just one more place since I had already come this far.

“Where are you going?”

“Magic Tower.”

I told Ellinia, who tilted her head at my reaction, where I should go.

The Magic Tower, a tower for wizards, was a place to study all kinds of knowledge and magic.

Since I’ve come this far, I’m planning to stop by there.

“Why are you there? You’re not even a wizard.”

“I have some things to look for.”

It is definitely a place related to magic, as Ellinia said, so it is not a place for people who are not related to magic to visit.

Considering that many of the people visiting the Magic Tower were wizards, Ellinia’s question was natural.

But, I also have a reason to visit the Magic Tower.

There was something I needed to find out in the Magic Tower’s library, a place where all kinds of knowledge and history were engraved.

“So, Ellinia, can you give me directions? It seems like it will take a long time to go alone.”

“Yes, of course.”

She felt very fortunate to see Ellinia willingly agreeing to my request.

The road to the Magic Tower is not at all simple.

The Magic Tower stands tall in a place cut off from the world, and it takes more than six months just to get there from here.

Of course, since I was a warrior, I could have arrived a little faster, but that didn’t mean it would take an absolute amount of time.

So I was reluctant to go to the Magic Tower, but I felt like I could get there quickly because I had Ellinia’s ability.

Ellinia was a nymph, and she has the characteristics of a nymph.

She can find a shortcut through the forest.

Furthermore, a shortcut is not just a shortcut, but a shortcut that goes beyond common sense, like a wormhole.

I knew about this ability, but I didn’t know it would be this useful.

I definitely felt this way on the way to the village of nymphs.

This ability of Ellinia was quite useful.

I felt like I could save a lot of time going to the Magic Tower this time.

“Uhm… But… Warrior.”

“What’s wrong?”

Is there any problem?

Ellinia, who was looking for her way, looked quite troubled.

She said she would guide me just a moment ago, but why does she make that kind of expression?

I didn’t know.

“There is that.”

“What’s going on? Are there a lot of monsters on the way? I don’t think that will matter.”

I wondered if there might be monsters lurking around this time too.

When Ellinia went to the city of nymphs, she was in trouble because there were quite a few monsters on the way.

But the monsters have nothing to do with it, right?

It’s not like Ellinia didn’t see me cutting up the monsters, so what on earth is causing her to react like that?

I didn’t know.

“No… There’s something much more problematic than monsters…”

“What is that?”

Is there something greater than monsters?

What on earth is that?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out, and I waited for Ellinia’s answer.

“You have to pass through the Demon King’s Castle on the way…”

“What…?”

No, what?

For a moment, I couldn’t help but believe my ears.

No, why does the Demon King suddenly appear?

I never dreamed that I would hear something unexpected here.

It was a word that made even me freeze for a moment.

“What should I do?”

“Hmm… Is there no other way?”

“Yes. That road is the only way. The road is complete only when you pass through it…”

Ah… How do I do this?

Anyway, now it seemed like I had to pass through the Demon King’s Castle to stop by the Demon Tower.

There was no other way, and if you couldn’t stop by the Demon King’s Castle, you would have to take the standard route to the Demon Tower.

From noble mtl dot com

It was obvious that a considerable amount of time would be wasted.

So I had no choice but to worry.

Is it right to follow Ellinia’s route?

Is it right to just go the standard route?

Or is it right to just ignore what happened and return to the village?

I had no choice but to worry between three options.

If you visit the Demon King’s Castle, you will definitely meet the Demon King.

As it was not a simple matter at all, I had no choice but to make a careful decision.

What should I really do?

I stood still and thought for a considerable amount of time.

After much thought, I finally made a decision.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go that way.”

“I… Really?

“Yes.”

Okay, it’s been a while since I met the Demon King again. What.
