The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated - The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated chapter 26

26 – The Third Hero (9)

‘It would be nice if I could find the hero…’

The wizard of the warrior party, Luna, submitted a request to the guild to find the hero, Hansu Lee.

It was an S-class request, paid for with a considerable amount of their own money.

Maybe we’ll be able to find Lee Han-soo soon, right?

She had some expectations as she thought about meeting the warrior again.

“But… Is this right?”

However, unlike her, the other party members were not very positive about this decision.

The other two party members, including Aila, were dissatisfied with Luna’s decision.

After she was abandoned by Alex, she followed Luna because she had no other solution, but she could not agree with them about bringing in Hansu Lee.

“I am also against it. Warrior Lee Han-soo is not even a believer in the Goddess religion.”

And among them, the person who most vehemently opposed it was the saint, Aila.

She still continued to dislike Lee Han-soo.

The reason was because she did not believe in the goddess religion.

In the past, Aila tried hard to spread the word of Goddess religion to Lee Han-su.

How good would it be if a warrior lived according to the doctrines of the goddess religion? She had said that as a warrior, there was no reason not to join the Goddess Cult.

However, Lee Han-su refused to enter the Goddess Church.

He refused, citing reasons such as saying that he has freedom of religion, and that he does not depend on something like God.

And it wasn’t just that.

As if she knew about the existence of a goddess, she also said that goddesses are not all that good.

Aila could not help but be very disappointed in such an attitude.

As a saint of the Goddess Church, I came to view the warrior Lee Han-su coldly.

But that didn’t mean she didn’t follow Lee Han-soo.

Because we have to distinguish between public life and life…

Although she was emotional, she was not one to do things emotionally.

Still, Lee Han-su was a warrior, and no matter how much he did not join the Goddess Church, he could not help but follow him.

Lee Han-soo was a warrior who would defeat the devil, so he held back his dislike and believed in Lee Han-soo.

“And even if we did bring them in, the hero is now Alex. So what’s the use of that? Besides, hero Lee Han-soo is weak.”

But the problem was that Lee Han-soo’s skills were really poor.

This was the biggest problem.

Saint Aila began to argue with Luna.

Is it meaningful to bring in Lee Han-soo?

“We barely managed to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings, but we couldn’t even defeat the Demon King.”

No matter how much Lee Han-soo did not believe in the goddess religion, Aila followed him because he was a warrior who would defeat the devil.

But since he is a hero, he must be strong.

However, that hope was completely dashed.

One day, Lee Han-soo suddenly returned in complete disrepair. Lee Han-su said that he had come from fighting the Four Heavenly Kings.

Aila was quite dumbfounded by those words.

It was ridiculous that they didn’t take them with them to fight the Four Heavenly Kings.

The most absurd thing was how it was possible to get hurt like this just by fighting the Four Heavenly Kings.

The Four Heavenly Kings are just the Four Heavenly Kings. He was said to be a monster that ordinary people could never face, but not to heroes.

A hero is a being who must defeat the devil.

I’ve never heard of such a hero being troubled by the Four Heavenly Kings.

A mere warrior can get hurt like this while fighting against one of the Four Heavenly Kings…

Does this make sense?

Of course it was nonsense, and from then on her expectations were completely lost.

And the result was obvious.

As expected, Lee Han-soo failed to defeat the Demon King and was summoned to the empire.

Aila, the empire that wanted to expel Lee Han-su, had no choice but to give strength to the words of the empire.

Because he was not qualified to be a warrior.

Because he did not have the most important power.

“It’s the same anyway. I don’t think the situation will change even if warrior Lee Han-su comes.”

“…”

He said that bringing back Lee Han-soo was not a solution at all.

And at Aila’s words, the two party members except Luna also sent an affirmative silence.

Party members also had the same opinion as Aila.

Ever since Lee Han-su defeated the Four Heavenly Kings, they did not expect much from Lee Han-su.

For them, defeating the demon lord was more important than anything else.

In such a situation, wouldn’t the hero be weak? I came to think that, and since I failed to defeat the Demon King, I could no longer take Lee Han-soo’s side.

It was not that she disliked Lee Han-su like Aila, but she still had no reason not to fire the warrior.

“Well… I can’t refute that… But I’m not sure either…”

Not even Luna could refute Aila’s words.

Because everything Aila said was true.

Luna also thought there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Because I also doubted Lee Han-soo’s abilities.

When the empire tried to expel Lee Han-su, she did not speak confidently.

“Lee Han-soo may be stronger than we think.”

But now, I feel like my thoughts have changed a bit.

Luna has seen a little bit of Lee Han-soo’s battles in the past.

It was very strong back then.

Although she only saw a little bit, it was no exaggeration to say that he looked like a real monster.

She didn’t think she would be able to stand up to the warrior Lee Han-soo, the leader of the Magic Tower, whom she thought was the strongest.

So Luna couldn’t understand it even more.

She thought that if it was him, she would definitely end up defeating the Demon King easily.

Because the result came out that he was begging the Four Heavenly Kings and was unable to defeat the Demon King.

The first person to be embarrassed by such results was Luna.

Lee Han-soo was expelled and there was nothing she could do.

Her evaluation of Lee Han-soo was dismissed as her own illusion.

I thought Lee Han-soo was weak.

But now, I suddenly have doubts.

Now that Herald had died without any power against the Demon King, and had been abandoned by Alex, I couldn’t help but have high hopes.

Isn’t Lee Han-soo actually very strong?

He wondered if it wasn’t just him that was mistaken, but that everyone but himself was mistaken.

“First of all… Let’s meet anyway.”

“… Ha. If Luna says so, I’ll wait.”

Luna somehow convinced the party members.

Let’s meet first.

Let’s meet up and have a chat.

The party members also agreed to those words.

They had already applied to the guild for her S-class request, and as of now, there was no other option for them.

Except for meeting Lee Han-soo.

‘Why on earth are you looking for me?’

What is this again?

I was momentarily dazed when I saw the S-class mission that had just arrived from the guild.

There was no possibility of being mistaken for anyone else.

For this request, it was clearly said that they were looking for the hero, Lee Han-soo.

It must be looking for me, Lee Han-soo, who is here now.

To be honest, I was very embarrassed to come across something like this at the guild where I came to give Aji her first request.

But, I had to put that embarrassment aside for a moment and think about it now.

‘Who on earth is looking for me?’

I looked through the S-class request form to get any information, but there was no mention of who made this request.

Is it obvious? Originally, the guild did not tell who made the request, and requests could only be delivered or accepted through guild members.

There was no way for me to know.

The guild probably developed such a policy in order to make a living among themselves, but it is unfortunate that the guild’s policy is such now.

There is currently no way for me to know who made this request.

‘I don’t know what it is, but it definitely seems like a bother…’

However, if there is one thing that is certain, I have a hunch that the purpose of finding me is not a good purpose for me.

How can I say… It feels very annoying?

Actually, it wasn’t a story without basis. When I was a warrior, everyone who came to me would always ask for a favor.

I used to ask him to do very difficult tasks that could not be done unless he was a warrior.

Finding the hero Lee Han-su probably means asking me to do such a difficult task.

Even if it wasn’t difficult, there was a high possibility that something I didn’t want would happen.

“What’s wrong?”

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s nothing.”

As I continued to look at the S-class request, Aji tilted her head.

He looked like he was thinking something bad.

I let go of the S-class request as if it was nothing.

Now I have Aji too.

I was now in charge of Aji.

I was already caught up in something troublesome, and I had no intention of getting caught up in another troublesome thing.

As expected, I decided to leave the S-class request as is.

Here I decided not to come forward.

‘Let’s find out later.’

Let’s think about who recognizes me later.

But who is really looking for me?

As I was leaving the guild, I kept thinking about it.

Because he is the one who is looking for me… Because he is the one who needs my strength…

Who is that kind of person? Just as I was thinking about it.

If I think about it, there are people who need my power more than anyone else.

‘No way? Are they members of the Empire and the Hero Party?’

Shortly after I left, a knight commander named Herald took over as my successor.

It is said that the hero could not defeat the Demon King.

And it is said that a second warrior was appointed.

There is no news yet, but even if he dies, the hero will not be able to defeat the Demon King.

Because that demon lord is a strong person in the world that only I can defeat.

Could it be that the empire and party members realized that fact?

Isn’t that why you’re looking for me now? I thought about it.

‘Have you lost your conscience?’

Ah… I guess not.

Only a month or so has passed since that betrayal, and now you’re looking for me?

You probably wouldn’t have listened to what I told you never to look for.

I believe not.

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

I set off with Aji to make my first request.

‘Well… It doesn’t matter, right?’

It was a bit surprising to Alex that the party members did not follow him.

They obviously thought that they would follow them unconditionally because they had something they wanted.

However, there was no major problem.

It is unfortunate that we cannot receive support from the Goddess Church, but we can get support from other places anyway.

Most of the Empire’s officials have already lined up for Alex.

If you have imperial officials who say they will follow you, rebellion won’t be much of a problem.

“Phew. Is this the Demon King’s Castle?”

So, all you have to do is defeat the demon lord.

If you defeat the Demon King, your own world will begin from now on.

“It won’t be long before I become emperor.”

Alex opened the door to the Demon Castle with confidence.

To defeat the devil.
