The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated - Chapter 46
46 – Hero’s Party Members (2)
But, where can we find that warrior Lee Han-su?
The party members decided on a course of action from now on to find the first hero, Lee Han-soo.
It was a car that I was having trouble with because I didn’t know how to do it.
“You found a hero?”
“How did you find it?”
“I’ve been looking for it for a long time.”
Wizard Luna said that she had found a hero.
Even when she was not very happy about the party members looking for the hero, Luna did not give up on finding the hero.
Just in case, the request to the guild was not an S-rank request, but the rank was lowered and left behind, and they were constantly asking questions about the hero.
For some reason, I felt like something like this would happen.
As a result, the warrior party was able to find out where the warrior was faster than expected.
“Where on earth is warrior Lee Han-su?”
“That’s… The Kingdom of Artes.”
“Kingdom of Artes?”
“Yes. They said they saw the princess and the warrior together there.”
The Kingdom of Artes?
That place was the Kingdom of Artes.
A hero appeared in the Kingdom of Artes, where a rebellion was said to have occurred not long ago.
There were many testimonies, so it was definitely not false, and the hero definitely went back and forth to the Kingdom of Artes.
I heard that he stopped by the Kingdom of Artes with the princess, put an end to the rebellion, and made the princess succeed to her throne.
“Isn’t the Kingdom of Artes where Aela was born?”
“As far as I know, I heard you met a warrior there… Is that true?”
“Yes… That’s right.”
At the words Artes Kingdom, each party member had no choice but to react in their own way.
For the warrior party, the Kingdom of Artes was a place of considerable significance.
The place where the warrior party first began…
Before they joined the warrior party, the first place where the warriors recruited party members was the Kingdom of Artes.
He said he took Aila with him from there.
It was Aila’s hometown, and it was a very meaningful place for the warrior party.
“Why are you there?”
“Umm…”
“Do you know Luna?”
“I’m good at that too…”
Then why did the hero stop by the Kingdom of Artes?
And that too with the princess.
Even if he put his head together, he couldn’t figure out the reason.
“The hero doesn’t get involved in interpersonal affairs or anything like that.”
“Right…”
If you think about it simply, you might think that you will benefit by interfering with one side, but that is definitely not true.
Heroes are not like that…
They lived with the hero for a year and knew very well what kind of personality the hero was.
He didn’t know about killing demons, but he didn’t try to intervene in conflicts between people.
They told the warriors to take care of their own problems, saying it was not their job.
Why did he suddenly become involved in the affairs of the Kingdom of Artes?
I couldn’t figure out the reason.
“Could it be that you did it for Aila?”
“Is that… Wrong?”
Could it be for Aila?
The party members wondered what might have happened.
Aila, who stayed with the warrior party, her hometown was the Kingdom of Artes.
Could it be that she stopped the rebellion in the Kingdom of Artes for her sake?
Of course, it was not possible to confirm this issue.
I didn’t know why the hero helped the Kingdom of Artes.
However, the Kingdom of Artes is also where the headquarters of the Goddess Church to which Eila belongs is located.
It was clear that Aela benefited from her hero’s actions.
“I’m not sure why, but you’re saying I just have to go to the Kingdom of Artes, right?”
For now, let’s go meet the hero…!
But, this was enough.
Now that I knew where the hero was, I just had to meet him.
“Yes. Even if you go there and can’t find the hero, you will be able to get help from the princess.”
Of course, there is a good chance that things will diverge.
The hero may have already left there.
But, for now, that was the only clue.
And when I go to the Kingdom of Artes, I might be able to get a new clue.
Also, I had high expectations that when I met the princess, she would give me information about her hero.
“Yes. Let’s leave right now.”
It was unanimously decided to go to the Kingdom of Artes.
The party members began to move.
To meet the hero…

“Let’s go to the Demon King’s Castle.”
It was a situation where I had no choice but to stop by the Demon King’s Castle on the way to the Demon Tower.
In this situation, I didn’t necessarily choose the option of avoiding it.
Rather, I was planning to meet the Demon King at least once.
‘If you think about it simply, you’ll think I’m crazy.’
Of course, if you look at my choice from a one-dimensional perspective, it was no different from a very crazy act.
Common sense tells us that there is no one who wants to go to the Devil’s Tower but stops by the Devil’s Castle.
If you knew what kind of being the Demon King is, you would never be able to say that it was right to make this choice.
The Demon King’s Castle is the place where the Demon King lives, and it was not a place where he could go in and out like he did in his own home.
I was fully aware of that too.
Nevertheless, the reason I made this choice was because it was worth it.
‘Because I had to check the devil’s movements.’
If you think about it carefully, the Demon King’s current state was clearly strange.
After I fought the Demon King, I must have visited the second, third, and fourth heroes, but the empire was still alive and well.
Based on the personality of the Demon King I met, I don’t think he was very kind or kind or anything like that…
It was obviously strange not to move.
Then why isn’t it moving?
I had no idea about the reason.
I was going to the Demon King’s Castle to find out the reason.
Even if it was a bit dangerous, it was something I wanted to know.
Ellinia is also here, so if you follow her, you will be able to get there quickly.
“Yo… Hero, I don’t think this is right. I’m scared. What will happen if I die? Huh…”
Why is this happening?
I followed Ellinia.
But, on the way, Ellinia stopped.
Then he shook his head at me with a trembling body and said.
Her face looked quite frightened.
Definitely… The demonic energy is slowly starting to become darker.
It is clear that the Demon King is gradually getting closer, so from her perspective, it seems inevitable that she will be scared.
Because I was a warrior, I was not afraid of the name Demon King, but the others were not at all.
The intimidation that comes from the name of the Demon King is beyond imagination.
Furthermore, it was only natural for the nymph race to feel the strong magical energy emitted by the Demon King more easily.
He seemed to be instinctively rejecting it as he felt his demonic energy deepening.
It was Ellinia who said that we should go back now.
“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to you.”
You’re worried about everything… I’m right next to you.
I spoke to Ellinia as if it had nothing to do with it.
Even after all this, I am confident that I will not lose the battle against the devil?
If the one in the Demon King’s Castle was the Demon King, then the one here now was the Hero.
As long as I am there, nothing big will happen.
Even if we don’t win, at least we don’t lose.
I had that much confidence.
“But…”
“I promise. If anything happens, I will definitely protect you. Even if it means risking my life.”
Ellinia won’t be in danger anyway…
Still, I had no choice but to give a guarantee to Ellinia who was worried.
Since Ellinia is guiding me to the place I asked to go, I guess I should do this.
I planned to take responsibility and protect him.
“Ah… Ah…!?”
“Why?”
“No… If you suddenly say something like that… It’s troublesome.”
“Why?”
“That…That’s right…”
Did I say anything?

Ellinia’s face suddenly became quite red after hearing what I said.
At first, I didn’t understand why Ellinia reacted like that, but after a while, she roughly figured out the reason.
Well, maybe that was a bit cool?
The words “I will definitely risk my life to protect you” Are words that have no use in ordinary life.
If I were to be honest, it’s probably something that only comes out of romance novels.
Ellinia seems to have reacted shamefully.
I am a warrior, so I use this word a lot…
Of course, I didn’t mind at all.
The phrase “Living as a warrior and risking one’s life to protect someone” Is a phrase that has a lot to use.
Because it was actually a job to protect them.
How does he react to things like this? I want to think about it.
“Let’s leave quickly…!”
Ellinia moved quickly as if she was still embarrassed.
I also continued to follow Ellinia, who was walking with great strides.
Not long after, she was finally able to arrive.
“This… Is the Demon King’s Castle.”
“Okay… It’s been a long time.”
I followed Ellinia out of the forest, and before I knew it, I was in the demon world.
And then, before her eyes, the Demon King’s castle existed.
How long has it been since you last saw the Devil’s Castle?
I was a little impressed when I saw the Demon King Castle, which had not changed at all since the first time I saw it.
‘I will meet the devil again.’
Of course, there was no time to be immersed in such trivial emotions.
From now on, you will soon meet the Demon King.
When dealing with her, it was a waste to harbor even the slightest feelings about her.
Let’s stay alert.
“Then shall we go in?”
I opened the door to the Demon King’s Castle.
