The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated - The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated chapter 30

30 – The Third Hero (13)

The news of the death of the third hero, Alex, quickly spread throughout the empire.

This was a fact that everyone in the empire had already known, and the empire could not ignore that fact.

Alex was definitely dead.

“Ha… What on earth should I do with this?”

Hearing such news, the Prime Minister of the Empire sighed heavily.

His expression was really not good.

After the second hero, Herald, the third hero, Alex, also died.

This situation was something he never expected.

‘Alex even had a holy sword…’

Although it was a secret story, Alex had a holy sword.

The chancellor already knew about the holy sword that disappeared a long time ago and that it was in Alex’s hands.

That is why the Prime Minister appointed Alex as a warrior.

He thought that if he had the Holy Sword, he would definitely be able to defeat the Demon King.

‘I was planning to stop the rebellion… Well,’

Furthermore, the prime minister already knew that Alex was plotting a rebellion.

The Prime Minister, who knew that fact, was naturally prepared.

I was planning to completely trap Alex, who would revolt.

I was planning to have Alex defeat the Demon King and then throw him into a dump.

‘You can’t defeat the devil…’

But things got so complicated…

Alex failed to defeat the Demon King.

From noble mtl dot com

He died without being able to defeat the Demon King.

This was something the Prime Minister had never expected and was quite embarrassed.

Because of this, the whole plan went awry.

‘Why wasn’t the Demon King defeated?’

Then why did Alex fail to subdue the Demon King?

Something was strange.

Even if we assume that Herald was not able to kill the Demon King despite giving in a hundred times, he was old.

Isn’t it a bit strange that Alex, who has the Holy Sword, can’t kill the Demon King?

Suddenly that thought passed through my mind.

In the Prime Minister’s opinion, the Demon King was not that strong.

Among the warriors of the past, there was one who defeated the Demon King in one day.

If Alex had the Holy Sword, he would have easily defeated the Demon King.

But why couldn’t the devil be defeated?

‘Could it be… That the Demon King is strong?’

A thought crossed my mind.

I couldn’t help but feel uneasy in this situation where I couldn’t even kill Alex, who had the holy sword, after the Herald.

Isn’t the Devil actually more than they think?

At the moment when the Prime Minister was thinking about this issue.

“Prime Minister… Hello.”

“They are warrior party members.”

Just then, the party members visited the place where the Prime Minister was.

They came in naturally, but they were party members who came in as if they had noticed something.

Even the Prime Minister didn’t know why they were paying attention like that.

‘I would have been expelled from the warrior party.’

I also heard the story about Jaesangdo.

The story is that Alex expelled the warrior party members from the party.

Originally, it was not allowed for her, who was no longer a member of the warrior party, to freely enter the imperial palace of the empire.

‘Well, since the hero is dead anyway, there’s no need to kick him out.’

However, the Prime Minister did not necessarily say anything.

They were kicked out when the exiled warrior was dead.

Because the personnel authority of the warrior party rested entirely with the warrior.

It was a matter for the next warrior to decide their treatment.

‘The warrior will be able to judge whether they are competent or not.’

The Herald did not take the warrior party members with him.

I heard that Alex expelled the warrior party members.

Their abilities were highly questionable, but the prime minister decided not to get involved.

‘The next hero…’

The most important thing now was to find the next hero.

Now that the Herald and Alex are dead, the Prime Minister has to find the next hero.

A being comparable to or greater than those two.

“Ha… Who should the next hero be…”

Of course, if there had been such a person, the Prime Minister would not have made such an embarrassed expression.

Now that the Empire’s best knight, Herald, had failed, and Alex, the knight with the holy sword, had failed, there was no one he could trust anymore.

The only person you can trust is… Isn’t it Lee Han-soo, the first hero who was now exiled from the empire?

Should Lee Han-soo be brought back because this has happened? At least he didn’t die from the devil.

Maybe there is hope.

At the moment, the prime minister was seriously thinking about the next hero.

“Please leave it to me, Prime Minister.”

At that moment, there was a man talking to the Prime Minister.

Jacks Eners, a young noble man dressed in quite flashy clothes, was a scion of the Eners family.

He was a man who had just recently become a bureaucrat.

He confidently told the Prime Minister to give him the position of warrior.

“Lord Jax. Didn’t I tell you last time that you couldn’t do it?”

He was curious, but the Prime Minister’s answer was rejection.

“I believe Sir Jax has never even held a sword.”

Because this man was not a knight or anything.

Jax Eners was just a young master who had just recently become an adult.

He is just a man full of youthful spirit and has never even held a sword.

The Prime Minister did not know that.

It might have been better to appoint another knight as the hero, but I couldn’t appoint a man like this as the hero.

Because of this, Jae-sang rejected Jax’s words.

“I’ve never held a sword before, but I have talent.”

However, Jax did not back down.

He strongly appealed himself to the Prime Minister.

“Don’t you know who my ancestors are, Prime Minister?”

Mentioning the beginning of the Eners family, he begged the Prime Minister to trust him once.

“Sword Saint…”

The beginning of the Eners family was a sword saint.

In the past, a man with the same power as a warrior was a sword saint, and Jax was a descendant of such a sword saint.

“Whoa…”

But, no matter how great your ancestors are, is there any way to say that your descendants are great?

It was a very common sense question.

Of course, if the ancestors are great, there is a chance that their descendants will be great.

But, does Jax really have the talent of the Sword Saint?

Of course, such questions were bound to arise.

Furthermore, even if he was talented, I wondered if it would be okay to entrust the role of hero to a man who had never even held a sword.

‘I heard he’s quite a mess…’

And more than anything, many people say that the man named Jax has a very bad personality.

He held an important position in the imperial palace as a parachute in the Eners family.

It was said that he only played all day without even thinking about working properly.

Because he was the son of an influential family in the empire, the Prime Minister did not say anything, but he knew that he was not a proper person.

I really thought that Jax should not be appointed as a hero for many reasons.

I’m sure I can’t do the job of a hero properly…

“Okay. I’ll try to trust Lord Jax.”

However, there was no other alternative.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to try it once.

It feels like scratching a lottery ticket…

The Prime Minister appointed Jax as a warrior.

“Hmm. Alex is dead…”

I opened the newspaper.

Of course, the last time I read the newspaper, it said that a guy named Alex had been appointed as a hero…

What happened to that guy?

I opened it with curiosity.

And as I unfolded it, I heard the news that Alex had died.

When I saw this news, I wasn’t that surprised or anything like that.

I just felt like something natural happened.

Because it was so obvious that he would die.

“This is what happens when you become a knight in the empire.”

I thought this guy and the empire that appointed this guy as a hero were truly pathetic.

I don’t know why I’m making useless sacrifices.

The higher a person is, the more they realize how important the ability to see people is.

Without it, the only people who suffer losses as a result are those who follow faithfully to protect the country.

No, if you had eyes for people in the first place, there would have been no reason to expel me.

It may be natural that there are no eyes to see the hero.

“Hmm… So who will be the next hero?”

Anyway, the story of Alex’s death wasn’t that important to me.

What I’m most curious about is who will be appointed as the next warrior? I guess that’s about it.

I quickly turned to the next page of the newspaper.

Who will be the next hero?

As far as I know, except for Herald and Alex, there are no other famous warriors in the empire.

In such a situation, what decision did the empire make?

I couldn’t help but be a little curious.

Well, you probably won’t appoint me again or anything like that, right?

I slowly read the next page of the newspaper, and soon came across a shocking fact.

“Eh. Tsk tsk. That’s what the empires do. You just go to ruin.”

The person appointed as a warrior was a man named Jax Eners.

As soon as I saw that this guy had been appointed as a warrior, he sighed.

I didn’t have any expectations, but as expected… The empire is hopeless.

I feel like there isn’t much time left until the real empire collapses.
