115.
Leo is ahem! He made a blank expression as he looked at Elsie who shrugged her shoulders.
It was to the point where he doubted whether this spirit was Elsie, the shadow spirit with whom he had made a contract.
‘It’s so different, isn’t it?’
“So, where is Lisinas?”
Leo said, looking at Elsie with her hands folded and her eyes shining.
“I’m coming to Raysar now.”
“ah! Then there’s no need for me to go find you, right?”
“yes.”
“thank god! I was thinking about visiting Lisinas today or tomorrow! Because our paths don’t cross!”
After hearing those words, Elsie began to adjust her clothes and straighten her hair, like a job seeker preparing for an interview.
Leo asked Elsie.
“Why do you want to sign with Lisinas? “There are plenty of guys who are making a name for themselves, right?”
“I heard she was chosen by the Spirit of Radiance.”
“Just because of that?”
“It’s not just that. I heard a story from the wind spirits! You have defeated the Legion Commander Jomungarde! Right?”
“okay.”
“Look at that!!”
Elsie turns around in her seat and slaps her waist! He said, raising his hand.
“In this day and age, a person who declares that he will defeat the commander of the army and subdue Erebos! “Isn’t he the perfect person to be my contractor?”
‘It’s so different that I can’t get used to it.’
“Why do you want to save the world?”
“I am a spirit born in a time of disaster. So I really want to see the stars in the night sky! “I heard it’s truly dazzlingly beautiful!”
With sparkling eyes, Elsie lost herself in her imagination.
Even the starlight disappeared in the night of the era of disaster, when a creepy red moon rose.
‘I didn’t know this at all.’
Although they had signed a contract, Leo knew very little about Elsie.
Even though I tried to talk to her, Elsie didn’t respond.
‘When I think about it, I showed some interest when we talked about the night sky.’
Elsie, who was always silent, showed interest at least when she told a story about starlight before the era of disaster.
“so! When will Risinas come?”
“It’s still a long way to go.”
“that!”
Leo seriously asked Elsie, who looked very disappointed.
“I have one last question. “How long have you been in this area?”
“I have been here for 10 years. “This is a secret from Agon.”
Shaten, the sword that eats darkness, is me.”
Elsie, who revealed her identity with a smile, narrowed one eye.

“Agon refused to listen to me?”
“That’s right.”
Raysar’s lord Rodean’s hands trembled as he looked at Leviton who bowed his head.
“Agon! “Why are you rejecting the request of my comrade in arms?”
The dwarf Rodean showed his anger, but his anger was extremely unsightly.
Each and every dwarf with a short but stocky physique was an outstanding warrior.
While beastmen were brave warriors who used the power of the wild, dwarves were seasoned warriors who used excellent skills and weapons.
However, the demeanor of a warrior was nowhere to be seen in Rodean’s haggard and gaunt appearance.
He, too, was once a warrior active in battle and a praised hero.
Because of such feats, the people of Raysar elevated him to the rank of lord.
As it was a time of chaos, it was only natural for a hero to rise to power.
But Rodean changed when he came to power.
To be precise, he lost his will to fight after his first expedition as a lord.
He ascended to the position of lord 10 years ago.
It was a time when a powerful alliance of heroes unprecedented in history was formed.
Until then, people thought that the Heroes’ Alliance would defeat Erebos and bring peace to the world.
‘The result was a crushing defeat.’
Erebos’ power was thrilling, and many heroes were slain.
Even those who survived had their will broken.
Rodean was also one of those heroes.
Rodean, who was terrified, was later reduced to a person who hid deep inside and cared only for his own safety.
“It looks like you still care about the orphans of the cursed land!”
“Foolish! “You wouldn’t follow the cause to protect those unbecoming things!”
“Aren’t you a foolish person obsessed with ideals?”
Leviton bowed his head.
“Especially now, it is said that a plague is rampant in that cursed land.”
“plague?”
Rodean’s face turned white.
If a plague were to break out in Raysar, where so many refugees had gathered, it was clear that the entire city would be shaken.

If that happens, problems will arise in the city’s defenses.
“Oh, what should I do! Leviton!”
“We are nipping the bud before the plague spreads.”
Rodean took a deep breath as he looked at Leviton, who had a determined expression on his face.
“If the plague spreads, the entire city would be in danger. If we can prevent that in advance, citizens will also be happy. Of course, it hurts my heart to cut down orphans who have nowhere to go… … .”
Leviton bit his mouth tightly and made a painful expression.
“There is nothing we can do for the greater good. Citizens will also follow our will.”
“B-but Agon won’t stay still, right?”
“Agon is a long-time friend of Rodean. “If he wants to ask for some advice for Raysar’s future, he will have no choice but to come to my castle.”
“It won’t be a problem to get Agon out of there! “If we take care of all those orphans, Agon will definitely go on a rampage!”
Even though he is already old and past his prime, Agon is considered one of the strongest heroes of his time.
If he gets angry and points the tip of his spear at Raysar… … .
It was clear that the entire city would suffer enormous damage.
“As I said a little while ago, the cause belongs to the lord.”
Leviton spoke without hesitation.
“Rumors of the plague have already spread throughout the city. Preventing epidemics is also something the public wants. No matter how foolish Agon is, he would not do something foolish that would put a city where many people live in danger.”
Leviton curled the corners of his mouth.
“No matter what, he is also a ‘hero’.”
“Wow, definitely… … .”
“Besides, if a problem arises, I will take responsibility.”
Rodean looked relieved as he saw Leviton speaking firmly.
“As always, I will leave it to your will!”
“That is a wise decision. And my lord. If things go well, Shaten… … .”
“You take it. “Who else would have that mighty sword if not you, who thinks so much of me?”
“I will do my best to repay your kindness.”
Leviton bowed his head in emotion and left the lord’s room.
‘The mighty warrior who was once called a hero is now nothing more than an old, corrupt loser.’
A sneer appeared on his face.
Leviton.
He was the real power of this city, controlling Rodean, the lord of this city, behind the scenes.
The people of Raysar City praised him as a hero.
Although he had never gone to battle, people thought he was a young hero who had saved the city several times.
The reason why that was possible was simple.
This is because Leviton was a man who was greedy for achievements and was not at all suitable for a hero.
The achievements he was said to have made were exaggerated or made up during times of confusion.
‘You idiots. Just wave hope in front of your eyes and you’ll be too busy praising it.’
The same was true for the rumors of this plague.
‘It has been rumored that it is a cursed land for a long time.’
The southern tip of Raysar is not a cursed land.
I didn’t know why it had changed like that, but that didn’t mean there was a problem.
It was simply a ploy to completely isolate Agon who lived there.
The public easily forgets. Even if it was a hero who once risked his life to protect him.
‘Rumors about the plague have already become scary. With this, I have a cause and justification to sweep up that messy place. Hehehe.’
It didn’t matter whether the plague was real or fake.
‘If I could relieve anxiety, people wouldn’t care one bit. And you will praise me. After all, it’s called Leviton!’
Ambition flashed in his eyes.
A hero who saves the world?
‘I’m not interested in impossible things anyway. All you have to do is protect Raysar and live the rest of your life comfortably. Even in times of disaster, if you have power, you can enjoy everything!’
Leviton thought as he burst out laughing.
‘It’s not long until we get our hands on this land!’
***
After talking with Elsie, Leo immediately left the southern region of Raysar to gather information.
While walking around the streets and bars, I checked out rumors about the area where the orphanage was located.
“Cursed place? I’m going crazy! “A plague!”
“What on earth are you doing, Youngju? What if the plague spreads here? “You don’t have to take action!”
‘There are already rumors that a plague has broken out in the city.’
Leo, who returned to the orphanage, distorted his face and became lost in thought.
‘Elsie is a spirit that resides in Shaten and settled here after her sword was broken ten years ago.’
It was said that a hero was waiting here to save the world.
Then today. He said he was planning to leave for God’s Lawn to meet Lisinas.
In Leo’s eyes, he saw Elsie taking care of other orphans in the vacant lot.
Because her appearance was similar to the elf girl Lia, her position among the orphans was that of the eldest sister, like Lia.
Elsie was smiling brightly as she looked after the children.
Looking at that, Leo thought of Elsie, whom he would meet a year later.
‘I was feeling disillusioned with the world, and Agon.’
Agon’s will was broken when they first met.
Lisinas said he harbored hatred.
Leo’s face hardened as he thought about that.
‘These kids didn’t die from the plague.’
My fist was clenched.
‘Leviton, that bastard killed him!’
Leo, who knew the man named Leviton so well that he was sick of it, had an idea as to why he had planned this.
It must have been to obtain Shaten.
He was armed with numerous weapons.
Of course, compared to the weapons he had, his skills were poor trash.
He only coveted achievements in order to stand above the public.
And when his life was in danger, he abandoned his colleagues without hesitation.
He laughed and blasphemed those who wanted to save the world.
‘In the end, he was found to be in cahoots with Tartarus and was executed by the public.’
Fake hero.
turncoat.
Disgust appeared on Leo’s face as he recalled Leviathan’s face, which was crying out for help even at the moment of death, saying it was unfair.
‘In my past life, I didn’t understand how that child became a lord… … .’
Leo saw the orphans.
To Aron, these children were like younger brothers.
It reminded me of Aron, who hated himself for not being able to protect his children because he was a coward.
In Leo’s eyes, life was young.
“Black Rabbit, are you here? “Help me prepare dinner.”
“Previously. “What about Mr. Agon?”
“Mr. Agon? “A while ago, someone called Yeongju called me and I went to Yeongju Castle.”
“what?”
The sun was already getting dark.
Clap-clack-clack-clack-
At that time, the sound of metal rubbing began to be heard.
The sensitive Ar perked up his ears and his eyes became fierce.
After a while, the knights I saw earlier appeared in the clearing.
The children began to tremble at the knights’ fierce spirit.
The elf girl Lia hurriedly stepped forward.
“Guys, Uncle Agon went to Yeongju Castle a little while ago.”
“Where does this dirty woman with the plague come from?”
One of the knights scolded and swung his sword at Lia.
It was when Lia closed her eyes tightly while looking at that.
“Are you crazy?”
Ar said in a cold voice.
The face of the knight who swung his sword with that force turned white.
Leo held back Lia, who lost her balance and almost fell as she was backing away.
Leo said, helping Lia, who was shaking, stand upright.
“don’t worry.”
“yes?”
“Because we will protect you.”
