Chapter 36

"Sigh …"

In the dim forest path, a sigh could be heard clearly.

Shien walked on the path, walking aimlessly while thinking about the new information that he had just learned. He couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought I would come to a world full of cliché plots."

But what happened?

"Isn't this turn of events a little too sudden?"

At least, until now, Shien hadn't come back to his senses.

Because this meant one thing.

"Have I been deceived?"

Wasn't that the case?

"The Demon King has already been defeated and the world has been peaceful for thousands of years. In this situation, why would there be a need for a hero to save the world?"

However, the Goddess had indeed used such a reason to resurrect Shien who had died once, awakening him as a hero and allowing him to descend into this world.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Shien couldn't figure it out at all.

What's more, Shien had a feeling that all his efforts so far were in vain.

"I became an adventurer to accomplish the goal of defeating the Demon King …"

Yes.

The reason why Shien chose to become an adventurer wasn't just because he wanted to earn money.

If he wanted to earn money, Shien could have stayed in the forest filled with monsters for a few days, defeating many monsters and collecting their body parts to sell. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about his livelihood at all.

Even for leveling up and improving his strength, Shien didn't have to deliberately become an adventurer. He could just keep fighting the monsters and ensure that his level would definitely rise by leaps and bounds.

But in the end, Shien still chose to become an adventurer. It wasn't just because he was interested in this legendary dream profession from another world, but also to gain a foothold in this world and ultimately achieve the goal of defeating the Demon King.

Otherwise, as an outsider who had just arrived in this world, how could Shien find the Demon King and defeat him?

That was why Shien needed information. He needed a channel that could allow him to obtain all kinds of information in this world without any obstacles.

And becoming an adventurer was a good way to do so.

After all, no matter which story he looked at, adventurers had to travel all over the world. Coupled with the Adventurer's Guild, which was a force that could be found all over the world, Sean could use his identity as an adventurer to integrate into this world first, and then naturally obtain all kinds of information about this world.

Moreover, Shien also needed to solve the problem of his identity.

Otherwise, it might not be a problem now, but when his level increased and he became a little more eye-catching, Shien would definitely enter the eyes of all kinds of people and perhaps be investigated by them.

By then, if Shien didn't have an identity, it would definitely cause all kinds of trouble.

Therefore, Shien could totally imagine that if he didn't become an adventurer and just hid his identity and didn't communicate with anyone, silently earning money and leveling up, he would definitely be questioned by others one day.

If Shien didn't become an adventurer and used Lamegion as a stronghold, going in and out of the town every day and bringing back large amounts of monster materials, even the guards would remember Shien's face, wouldn't they?

If that happened, Shien would sooner or later arouse the suspicion of others. When someone with ulterior motives appeared and investigated him, his abnormalities in all aspects would probably be exposed. In the end, he might even be targeted and discovered the existence of the Sacred Sword, which would lead to even more trouble. In the end, the losses would outweigh the gains.

Because of this, and considering all kinds of problems, Shien chose to become an adventurer. He would use this identity as a springboard to blend into this world and make plans later.

In this way, when he had leveled up and gathered enough intelligence to defeat the Demon King, Shien could directly set off to achieve his goal.

At that time, in order to travel freely in this world, Shien also needed an identity.

That was why Sean had chosen the path he was on now.

Who would have thought …

"I'll die before I can achieve anything."

Now, he had lost his biggest target.

In fact, personally speaking, Shien felt that he could still be happy about this important piece of information.

"Since the Demon King has been defeated and the world has long returned to peace, I don't have to painstakingly fight against those guys that even the gods fear. I can also start my second life in peace and live as an ordinary adventurer."

From this point of view, this matter was quite worthy of celebration.

However, Shien didn't think that the Goddess who summoned him into this world would resurrect him and make him a hero just for fun.

There was no doubt that the Goddess summoned Shien for a purpose.

Moreover, the Goddess even used the defeated Demon King as an excuse to deceive him.

This made Shien feel as if he had been involved in some invisible conspiracy.

"Anyway, this kind of development is also a kind of routine, right?"

Sean, on the other hand, was very open-minded. As usual, he accepted the sudden situation with a helpless attitude.

Moreover, he still couldn't be sure that everything was a conspiracy.

"Maybe the Demon King isn't dead yet, and Nyon knows this, which is why she held the summoning ceremony of the hero again. Who knows?"

Or, in fact, after a thousand years of recuperation, the Demons planned to start another war in order to redeem the humiliation of losing to the Protoss. That's why Nyon once again held the summoning ceremony of the hero. So what?

But …

"Even someone as gentle as Vivian said in an absolute tone that the hero can't appear again. Presumably, the relationship between the three races really can't tolerate any changes, right?"

If the appearance of the hero was exposed, then no matter how much inside information there was, the relationship between the three races would definitely become precarious.

Just like Vivian said, no matter what, if the Demons knew about the existence of the hero, they would definitely not let it go, and it was impossible for them to ignore this threat.

Once the humans knew that the Protoss had performed the summoning ceremony of the hero, they would definitely suspect that the Demons had done something, and they would have a grudge against the Demons.

Then, the Protoss might also want to use the power of the hero to completely eradicate the Demons who were once their mortal enemies.

No matter which world, ambition and malice were things that were never lacking. There were people among the three races who yearned for peace, and there would definitely be people who wanted to destroy everything. Once the existence of the hero was confirmed, Shien could think of dozens of ways to use this matter as an opportunity and an excuse for those who wanted to do whatever they wanted.

"Presumably, Vivian knew about this, which was why she was so determined to say that the hero can't appear again, right?"

Once the hero appeared, no matter what the reason was, his existence itself would become a spark to break the peace.

And this was definitely something that most people didn't want to see.

So …

"This world doesn't need the hero anymore …?"

Shien sighed again.

At this moment, a voice entered Shien's ears.

"Indeed, this world doesn't need the hero anymore."

Such a sentence echoed in the dark forest, causing Shien to stop abruptly.
