The Former Hero Began To Be Re-Evaluated - Chapter 50
50 – Hero’s Party Members (6)
I was looking for books on holy swords at the Magic Tower, and by chance I came across a book about dimensional magic.
[Dimension Shift: Research on magic to go to another world]
It was a book about magic that might be able to send me back to the original world.
‘Wow… Did something like this exist?’
After reading this book, I felt like I was caught off guard, wondering why I hadn’t thought about dimensional movement until now.
I was kidnapped by a being called a goddess in the past.
They were living well, but suddenly they were forcibly brought to this world, asking to save their world.
It was really unfair at the time, but what can you do?
In the end, the only option was to adapt.
That’s how I was scouted by the empire as a hero, and have been there ever since.
It’s unfortunate, but let’s just forget about Korea on Earth.
Giving up on returning to the original world.
‘Are you doing well…?’
But if you can go back, the story will be much different.
Of course, I liked the world I was in much better than this world.
There was my one and only family, my sister, my friends, my lover, but… It was a place where there were so many precious people.
In this world, it was possible to live a much more valuable life than being exiled as a warrior and living as a farmer.
If this magic were actually allowed, there would be no need for it to exist in this world.
It was a book that brought me hope in many ways.
“What are you thinking, warrior?”
“Good job.”
If it wasn’t for Ellinia, wouldn’t it have been discovered?
I praised Ellinia, who was looking at me blankly from the side.
But, how do I interpret this?
When I opened the book, I found myself in a bit of trouble.
Unfortunately, I was ignorant of magic.
Although I read a few books about magic, they were books about knowledge and not books about using magic itself.
At the moment when I was in trouble, I asked Ellinia who was next to me just in case.
“Ellinia. Can you interpret this?”
“Hmm… It’s difficult, but I think it’s worth a try.”
You can even interpret it?
I think she is very helpful to me in many ways.
Competent. Capable…
I feel really relieved to be taking a girl like Ellinia with me while taking party members with me.
Ellinia slowly read the book she received from me.
It was definitely not a book that she could easily understand, but she still seemed to be able to interpret it.
As she read slowly, she looked embarrassed.
“What’s wrong? Is there anything strange about it?”
Why are you making that face?
By any chance, it turns out that the contents of this book are really useless or something, right?
I’ve heard of it before. It is said that there are many theories about strange magic used in the Magic Tower for performance purposes.
If this book contained that type of magic, it would be quite sad…
I waited for Ellinia’s words with a nervous heart.
“That’s not true… But, I heard you need a lot of ingredients to complete this magic?”
Luckily, it didn’t seem to be the type I was worried about.
So much effort went into making this magic come true that Ellinia was just worried.
I breathed a sigh of relief about that, but that didn’t mean it was a good situation.
Well, it’s a magic that moves between dimensions, so it’s strange that it doesn’t require any ingredients.
For great magic, such materials were bound to be essential.
“What ingredients do you need?”
“Wait a minute. I’ll write it down.”
Ellinia began writing down the ingredients one by one on a piece of paper.
Everything you need…
And when he had written down all the ingredients, he handed it to me.
‘Wow… You even need these ingredients?’
It was definitely not an easy material to use.
It was full of ingredients of such high difficulty that I wondered if I could get them from start to finish.
I feel like I know why this magic was stuck in a corner of the magic tower’s books.
In the first place, science and engineering are said to be different, so the possibility of realization was probably too low.
Most of the materials were very difficult to obtain.
Still… I thought it was worth collecting up to this point.
“AC… How do I get something like this?”
However, I soon learned that this magic was not feasible.
No, common sense tells you to get the goddess’ jewel…
The last material item in this paper was the goddess’ jewel.
It is said that in order to complete this magic, a gem with enormous magical power is needed.
That’s an item called the goddess’s jewel…
It is said that it can be saved from the goddess.
No, I’m talking about finding something that doesn’t exist in this world…
There is no goddess in this world.
To be more precise, it exists in a world other than this world.
When I was transferred to this world, as someone who met the goddess, I had no choice but to know that fact well.
‘I wasted it.’
I felt like I was looking forward to it for no reason and then it cooled down.
That’s right.
“Elinia. Let’s go.”
“Yes..!”

“Ha… I think it’s finally over.”
“It was difficult.”
I don’t think I’ll ever do something like this again…
A few hours had passed since the princess, Lia, had asked her to clean the stables, and the party members were only able to finish cleaning after the sun had almost set.
The process was not easy at all. The party members couldn’t help but feel exhausted, as if they had used up all their strength on this one task.
It was a very difficult time, partly because it was quite dirty to begin with, so there was a lot of work to do, and partly because the girls were not good at this kind of work.
Still, they eventually completed everything they were asked to do. Leaving the now completely clean stable behind, the women began to move.
“Now… Let’s go to the princess.”
“Yes. I’ve finished everything, so this should be enough.”
The party members were planning to meet the princess again.
Is it safe to say that we have proven trust at this level?
Now that the stables were completely cleaned, it was time to get information from the princess about her warrior.
Because I came here to receive it in the first place.
I was full of thoughts of getting it quickly and finding the hero.
Now let’s find the real hero…
“Huh? Have you finished cleaning the stables already?”
“Yes, princess.”
“I see. Thank you for your hard work.”
When we went to visit the princess, she welcomed her party members with a smile.
He also praised me for my hard work.
Seeing the princess like that, the party members were hopeful that the job was finally over.
I will tell you information about the hero now, right?
However, contrary to their expectations, the princess did not tell them any information about the hero.
“Then, please clean the next stable.”
“Yes…?”
“Huh? You have to clean all the stables in the palace. You can’t just clean just one. There are still 9 more left, so please finish them. Fighting!”
What on earth does this mean?
The princess began to order the party members to do work again.
The party members who heard those words could not hide their absurdity.
She went through all that trouble, came back, and made me work again?
Are there 9 things that were that difficult?
This made no sense.
The party members tried to question the princess about this, but she quickly left, saying she had work to do.
“…”
And, the party members left behind were just in vain.
She just watched the princess leave as if she were a dog chasing a chicken.
“I think this is completely aimed at picking on us, right?”
“I guess so, huh?”
“What on earth did we do, to say this…”
At this point, they could only guess.
Princess Lia noticed that the party members were full of thoughts of tormenting them.
Why does the princess she saw for the first time today hate them so much?
I didn’t know the reason, but one thing I was sure of was that the princess was not very friendly.
“Uh… What are you going to do?”
“You can’t threaten the princess…”
I wanted to use force, but unfortunately I couldn’t.
Because the warrior party couldn’t harm the princess of a country or the person who actually ruled this country.
I shouldn’t have done something like that. The warrior party was very embarrassed by the current situation.
“But we’re a warrior party. We’re not the ones to do something like this.”
“Besides, even if I clean everything, I might be asked to do something strange again.”
But I couldn’t do this forever…
The warrior party had to somehow obtain information from the princess.
And we had to hurry and find the hero.
But I couldn’t do this and I didn’t want to waste my time doing this kind of chore.
Besides, will the unfriendly princess tell you that she did as she was told?
I had no choice but to look at it with a negative outlook.
If the princess decides to manipulate them and then refuses to tell them, what happens to them?
What on earth should I do in this situation?
In the end, just when I couldn’t come up with an easy answer on what to do, the party’s saintess, Aela, came forward.
“There’s nothing I can do when it’s like this.”
Aila plans to negotiate with the princess.
Now that this has happened, she plans to use any means possible.
“As a saint, I will formally question you.”
If she does not cooperate, she will have no choice but to excommunicate the princess as a saint.
