The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated - The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated chapter 13

13 – The Second Hero (12)

‘Are we now arriving at the Kingdom of Artes?’

The road to the Kingdom of Artes was very boring.

Because it was a landscape where there were no cities in between, just mountains and fields that continued.

At least I talked about various things with Lia next to me to relieve my boredom as much as possible and waited for them to arrive at the Kingdom of Artes.

And at the end of the wait, the Kingdom of Artes finally began to appear.

As if to prove that from now on it was the land of the kingdom, a huge gate with the kingdom’s flag was visible.

Perhaps if we pass over there, we will finally arrive at the Kingdom of Artes.

From noble mtl dot com

I informed Leah, who was next to me, that we had finally arrived at our destination.

“Ria. That’s the Kingdom of Artes.”

“I see. It’s finally arrived.”

But you don’t look very happy, do you?

As I felt during her trip, Lia did not really enjoy this trip.

At first, she seemed excited and asked me various things, but as she got closer and closer to the Kingdom of Artes, she became less and less excited.

He seemed increasingly calm and anxious, as if he was worried about something.

‘Hmm… Is something going on?’

You wanted to go to the Kingdom of Artes so much, but now you’re actually scared to go?

I’m not sure, but I don’t think I’ll bother writing about it.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with me anymore.

‘Are you going to break up with Lia now?’

Well, it was a short relationship, but from now on I will be breaking up with Lia.

Now that I have safely brought you to the Kingdom of Artes, I will finish my work and return to the village. Lia will definitely stay here.

If we actually break up, I might feel a little sad.

We’ve been hanging out together for the past few days, but I can’t say we haven’t grown attached.

But, well. Everyone finds their own way to live.

If there is a meeting, there is also a separation, and I didn’t think this disappointment was particularly bad.

‘Still, let’s go buy something to eat and then part ways.’

Of course, we won’t break up right away or anything like that.

I’ve come this far, so what should I feed him and send him off?

Even though the Kingdom of Artes is in the midst of a civil war, there will still be at least one restaurant operating.

After eating our fill there, we planned to part ways.

I guess I should just feed it something delicious, right?

What should I feed them? While I was driving the carriage, I was thinking about that.

Kwa Bang!!!

“What is it?”

A huge explosion occurred in front of the carriage I was driving on.

In addition, the stinging smell of gunpowder spread to the tip of my nose.

There won’t be anyone else around, right?

This was clearly an attack on us.

Then who attacked us?

“There. Stop.”

After waiting a bit, a group of people dressed in black appeared.

A group of men consisting of several men who, at a glance, appear to be a group of thieves.

The group was pointing their weapons at our carriage.

“Of course, right?”

“Yes, definitely.”

After looking at the carriage, they had a conversation among themselves.

“Hmm…”

And seeing that, Lia lowered her head as much as possible to avoid showing her face.

As if she was trying to hide herself as much as possible.

However, she didn’t seem to be hidden like that.

The group of thieves in front of them saw Lia and immediately took up her weapons.

“Once confirmed, let’s kill it quickly and return.”

To kill us.

They slowly raised their weapons, surrounded us, and approached to kill us.

“I’m sorry, but I guess I was unlucky.”

Well, of course, their plan never succeeded.

I’m an ordinary farmer now, but I was once a warrior.

The person who is trying to steal is a former warrior. Could it be that you guys did something really big wrong in your past life?

“Big…”

The situation was quickly resolved.

There was no need to pick up a weapon or fight him properly.

The skills of me, a former warrior, and that of a group of thieves are truly heaven and earth.

I just dodged the weapons they were swinging and hit the sword on their neck.

There was no need to call it a battle.

One, two, three, three, raccoon.

We knocked them out one by one, and the situation ended in an instant.

“Wow… Hero brother. You’re really strong as expected. I’m glad you did.”

When the situation was over, Lia raised her head as if she felt relieved.

Leah, who praised me, didn’t look like there was anything strange on the outside, but she seemed to be nervous about something.

I had a slightly strange feeling as to why Lia was acting like that.

‘But aren’t these guys a little strange?’

But rather than Ria’s attitude, what I’m interested in right now is the identity of these guys who attacked us.

At first, I thought he was just a thief, but in fact, there were many strange things about him that made me think he was an ordinary thief.

To put it bluntly, what they were doing was not what thieves do.

‘Because I was aiming for my life rather than trying to rob something.’

Money was not the purpose.

They obviously moved to kill me and Lia.

Then why?

I don’t know the reason, but it was clear that these guys were not ordinary thieves.

‘Let’s see…’

I started looking through the belongings of the stunned bandits.

Well, is there anything suitable?

I was searching diligently, hoping to find something.

“Is this…?”

I didn’t expect something like this to come out?

I found a document with the seal of the Artes Kingdom.

The Herald was quite embarrassed by this situation.

Not only was the Demon King preparing a banquet, but he was making incomprehensible remarks against himself, the current hero.

Herald felt momentarily dazed by the Demon King’s attitude, but soon came to his senses.

‘It’s like the devil’s plan…’

Clearly, this too is the devil’s plan.

It may be a strategy to reduce motivation before battle.

There was nothing good about being involved.

I had various experiences while working as a knight commander for decades, so such a strategy was of no use to me.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. The person in front of you right now is the hero, the Herald.”

The Herald drew his sword, aimed it at the Demon King, and spoke.

The attitude was that the devil’s schemes were completely useless.

The warrior was no one else but himself.

“…”

Hearing the Herald’s words, the Demon King was silent for a moment.

I just stared at the Herald silently.

“Are you really a warrior?”

“That’s right.”

And he began to ask the things he was curious about one by one.

“Hmm… Then let me ask you one question. What happened to the hero who came before?”

“He was deprived of being a hero. It was because he could not defeat the Demon King.”

You are probably referring to the hero who came before, Lee Han-soo.

Why are you asking about Lee Han-soo?

I didn’t really know the reason, but there was no particular reason to hide it.

When the devil asked about Lee Han-soo, the Herald told him what had happened to him.

“…”

After the Herald’s answer, the Demon King remained silent once again.

“It’s so absurd that I don’t know what to say.”

Then he looked quite embarrassed.

The attitude was as if something like this was happening.

“I just hope you don’t judge me by my appearance. I’m much stronger than you think.”

Herald was starting to get angry at that attitude.

Hasn’t the Demon King continued to ignore him since a while ago?

The devil continued to look for Lee Han-soo, but he was ignoring himself in front of him.

Herald was also a warrior.

Although it may look old and not strong, you should never ignore it.

The Herald rushed to the Demon King to tell him that directly.

“Hmm.”

Despite the Herald’s sudden attack, the Demon King simply raised one of his arms to block it.

It was a demon king with a very relaxed expression.

But how long will that leisure last?

“Ha!!!!”

The Herald began to push hard.

Although each attack was not very strong, his sword skills were continuous.

Continuous attacks accumulated through long experience were attacks that Herald was confident in.

Even young knights can’t handle the Herald’s continuous attacks like this.

‘Okay, I’m pushing it…’

No gap should be given.

Let’s end this quickly before the devil does anything.

Thinking like that, Herald did not rest.

In the continuing attacks, Herald was clearly pushing back against the Demon King.

Just a little more…

Just a little more and you will be able to defeat the Demon King.

Thinking like that, Herald burned himself.

“Gasp… How come I don’t fall down?”

However, even after 30 minutes and 1 hour, the demon king did not fall.

No, I wasn’t even tired.

How can it be so fine?

The Herald’s expression gradually began to darken.

“He’s the same hero, but is this all he can do? Tsk… I didn’t have very high expectations, but I’m quite disappointed.”

The Demon King sighed and spoke to the Herald.

From noble mtl dot com

“What…?”

The Herald finally realized those words.

Until now, the Demon King is just playing with him.

“Let’s go sincerely.”

Not from now on.

The Demon King started walking towards the Herald as if he was annoyed.

The demon king’s energy, which was originally terrifying, became much stronger.
