475.
‘Let’s sort out the situation.’
Leo left the loser’s grave and fell into thought.
‘first. This country is under threat from the Justice Guild and they are looking for the tomb of the Nether Knight.’
According to Prince Jeremin’s words, it was clear that the Justice Guild was robbing the hero’s tomb.
‘second. The Grand Duke of Jangson is raising orphans in this country.’
The problem is this.
‘Isn’t there any connection between the hero’s tomb robbery and the Grand Duke of Jangson?’
The current Death King does not have the power to revive a hero who had great power during his lifetime.
When Erebos was alive, his power would have been strong, but not now.
‘But to completely ignore that possibility, there is a piece of Erebos that the Necromancer King may have at stake.’
Before summer vacation.
The Necromancer King, who visited Lumern to confirm his existence, used the Flame of Erebos, albeit in a weak way.
‘It may be impossible to resurrect the fragment, but it may be possible to utilize it to a level where it can obtain the power it had during its prime.’
In that case, it would not have been impossible to bring the hero back from the dead.
If so, this is the worst situation.
‘Anyway, I need information.’
Leo arrived in a forest not far away.
Leo sat down at the base of the cut down tree and took out a small potion bottle from his pocket.
And poured the light blue liquid onto the floor.
The liquid that was floating on the floor soon began to freeze and turn into a mirror.
And what appeared there was an elf.
[Have you called, Great God of Shadow?]
The person who politely greeted Leo was Algren, the Northern Mage Tower lord.
Before he was the Northern Mage Tower lord, he was also the Shadow Lord of the Elves.
Leo said while looking at Algren.
“I need some help.”
[Yes, I will send someone to prepare immediately.]
“what?”
With those words, communication with Algren was cut off without any further words.
Communication magic leaves traces.
A wizard who specializes in communication magic can also use the traces to eavesdrop on communication magic.
However, this magic created by Algren leaves no trace of magical power.
This is the perfect magic for shadows that must not leave traces.
The downside is that the connection time is short.
‘So I tried to simply convey the requirements. ‘You’re sending someone without even asking what the situation is.’
Leo gave a puzzled look.
‘Are you aware of what’s happening in the northeastern part of the continent?’
The base of the elf shadows is in the northern part of the continent.
And this is the Northeast.
As he was operating in the dark, it was clear that Algren was aware of this incident.
‘Well, I said I would send someone, so I’ll contact you when it’s ready.’
And after exactly one hour.
Algren did not stop at completing preparations, but even dispatched a shadow.
It couldn’t have been faster.
Leo greeted the elf kneeling in front of him.
“It’s been a while.”
“Do you remember me?”
“Wouldn’t it be weirder if I couldn’t remember? Anyas Beggs.”
“The great God of Shadows not only remembered the insignificant me, but also called me by my name!”
Anyas raised her head and covered her mouth with both hands, making an expression of emotion.
“iced coffee! God. Great and noble God. God who remembers even my humble name. Ah, my heart is shaking so much I feel like I’m going to die. Sigh! Haha!”
‘I knew I had a headache, but why does it seem to have gotten worse?’
“How come your ruby eyes take on such a noble and noble glow? Your pure white hair seems to dispel the darkness with its very presence. ha… … ha… … .”
Anyas, who was catching her breath, spoke in a trembling voice.
“God. “Can you please do me one small favor?”
“What?”
“Please give me just one strand of hair that you pulled out with your own hands.”
“What should I use it for?”
“I plan to make it a relic of the religion I created.”
“what?”
“look. “I’m the only one who hasn’t joined the church yet, but I made something like this.”
The leaflet that Agnas handed over had the following written on it: “Join Leoism and be saved.”
The back of the flyer was full of photos of Leo.
“This is crazy… … .”
I even felt madness.
If left like this, they might officially declare this Leo Church or something and engage in sincere missionary work.
Anyas said while looking at Leo who was shocked.

“And we also compiled a list of all those who have recently been pouring out negative reviews about God. Bloody retribution sooner or later… … .”
As she spoke enthusiastically with both hands clasped tightly, Anyas’ ears were fluttering like wings.
“Anyas Begs.”
“yes!”
“Don’t make something like this.”
“yes?”
“The Justice Guild that I am going to deal with right now is a cult-like group. But I can’t be the same.”
“B-but, unlike those in pseudo-religions, there actually exists a god in our church?”
Leo answered those words indifferently.
“Why am I a god? It’s human. I say it again. do not do that.”
“If Leo says so, I can’t help it.”
Anyas’ ears drooped.
Should Leo momentarily comfort her as she seems to have lost the meaning of life? I thought about it.
“But Leo. “Can you give me a strand of hair?”
“why?”
“I want to add it to my collection.”
‘It was a useless worry.’
Leo decided to completely ignore Anyas, who was overshadowing his worries.
“Agnas, do you know about the orphan disease that Duke Dotarn is said to have raised?”
“yes. Are you talking about gathering orphans, training them as soldiers, and turning them into private soldiers? Recently, I heard that Crown Prince Jeremin transferred the orphan soldiers under Duke Dotarn to his own.”
Like a shadow, he was fully aware of information about the northeastern region.
“Then does that mean that the orphan disease and Tartarus are related?”
At those words, Anyas’ complexion suddenly changed.
“Is Duke Dotarn a stooge of Tartarus?”
Leo shook his head as he looked at Anyas asking in a somber voice.
“No, he won’t even know he’s being used.”
Looking at Anyas’ reaction, it was clear that she did not consider the orphan soldiers as a big deal.
The power of the orphan soldiers was enormous.
It is by no means a power that a small kingdom would have.
‘If he grows up and becomes a knight rather than a simple soldier, it will change the landscape of the northeastern part of the continent.’
The fact that Aghas did not pay much attention to a group with this level of combat power meant that their existence was completely hidden.
‘It’s possible for that Artkan guy.’
“Release the shadows and thoroughly investigate the man called Duke Dotarn.”
“If we discover the existence of Tartarus, shall we start hunting?”
“no. report to me “If you touch it hastily, the damage on this side will also increase.”
“Leo, do you know the identity of the demons that are operating in secret in this country?”
“It must be Atkan, the Grand Duke of Jangson.”
When the name of a huge figure was mentioned, Anyas’ shoulders trembled.
“Move carefully. “He’s probably on the lookout for us, too.”
“All right.”
As he is a confidant of the Necromancer King, Atkan would also know that Leo is the reincarnation of Kyle, the hero of the beginning.
‘You would have expected me to notice my presence the moment I came to this country and saw Goa Byeong.’
But Atkan did not leave the country.
‘I’m probably trying to gauge exactly what my power is right now.’
“Leo. What should the Justice Guild do?”
Anyas asked.
“I don’t think the shadows didn’t know about the Justice Guild. “What is the Shadows’ evaluation of the Justice Guild so far?”
“Opinions were divided.”
Anyas narrowed her eyes.
“They have developed a reputation for fomenting war in conflict zones, not just in the Northeast but around the world.”
“But is the reason the shadows left them alone because they are neither traitors nor enemies?”
“yes.”
Anyas avoided Leo’s eyes.
“Shadows only go out on matters related to Tartarus. “In addition to the shadows, those who see through their true nature also condone their actions.”
The process by which the Justice Guild grew its power was simple.
It appears in areas where conflict is frequent and intensifies the war.
And they are praised by the victims of the war as if they have resolved the dispute and established justice.
They have been gaining power that way.
However, the reason those who understand their essence tolerate them is because the tip of the sword is not pointed at them.
“The Justice Guild is also the most active in the battle against Tartarus.”
The Justice Guild’s sword point is not pointed at them.
Rather, they serve as a shield in the battle against Tartarus and even take care of their dirty work when necessary.
Because of this interest, the Justice Guild has continued to exist until now.
Even those who rejected the Justice Guild could not fight them carelessly.
In the world now, there is no central point that can bring everyone’s goals to one place.
‘As long as interests are intertwined, it will become a civil war. That would be the structure Tartarus wants most. but’
Leo had no intention of turning a blind eye to it once he knew its identity.
“Are you planning on dealing with the Justice Guild?”
“okay.”
“Shall we summon the shadows?”
“no.”
Leo shook his head.
“If the shadow appears, the already bad perception of the shadow will become even worse.”
No matter what anyone says, the Justice Guild is a group that promotes justice externally.
It was clear that erasing those people would lead to new misunderstandings.
With Melina’s declaration just before summer vacation, the shadow gained equal status with the hero.
However, even if there was a declaration from the Dragon Lord, people’s views would not easily change.
“From now on, it’s up to you.”
“Is it up to us?”
“okay. “I wish the word ‘shadow’ would disappear.”
“yes?”
“Everyone who fights for the world is a hero. You deserve to be called heroes. So, I want to create a world where you are called heroes and not shadows.”
“Leo… … .”
Anyas covered her mouth and made an expression of emotion.
“You dreamed of such a world… … You were making such grand plans… … .”
Anyas, who was thrilled, put her hands together and took a praying posture toward Leo.
“Please let me serve you as a god.”
“Never do that.”
It was time for Leo to frown.
Sigh-!
An elf appeared from the shadow of the tree.
The expression disappeared from Anyas’ face.
“What’s going on?”
“I will report to you.”
As a shadow, he lowered his head with an urgent look on his face.
“A huge battle broke out on the border between the Kingdom of Canel and the Kingdom of Petimman.”
“Did the Petyman Kingdom army launch a large-scale attack?”
When Leo stood up and asked, the shadow quickly shook its head.
“No, someone single-handedly attacked the Petyman Kingdom army, and the Justice Guild responded.”
“If the Hero Guild steps forward, it must mean that they are extremely powerful, right? Who is it?”
The shadow hesitated at Agnas’ words and then answered.
“The person currently engaged in combat with the Justice Guild is presumed to be an iron-blooded wizard.”
Anyas’ face hardened.
“Iron-blooded wizard… … ? Tiar?”
It wasn’t just Anyas’ face.
Leo’s face also hardened.
Leo was also a name I had seen in textbooks.
The elven hero, the iron-blooded wizard Tyar.
A great hero who made great contributions in the war against Tartarus.
However, he was also a hero who was ostracized by the elves because he created magic that was too cruel with star magic.
And the period when the Iron Blood Wizard was active.
‘A hero from 1000 years ago.’
Leo felt that his worst-case scenario had come true.
‘Death King, he’s resurrecting heroes as undead.’
