Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 123 Feeding Information

As soon as Laurene finished speaking, she fished a handkerchief out from the pocket in her dress and wiped her lips.

She then set it on fire with magic right after but Rudeus' eyes were sharp enough to catch the bit of red on it.

Before he could even say anything about it, Laurene continued speaking as she shook her head, gesturing for him not to say anything.

'Can't have mum worrying about me any more than she already is.'

The girl thought about her mother whose eyes only contained worry for her daughter as she continued speaking.

"Also, we are 'heroes' of 'this generation', and we are 'seven' in number, as evidenced by the seven symbols you know of.

Sound familiar?"

Her words resonated with all those who heard, their thoughts instantly arriving at the same answer.

"The Seven Heroes of Legend!!! You are...this generation's 'Seven Heroes'."

"Bingo!

Finally, it's so irritating, not being able to tell anyone something as basic as that."

Laurene spoke up with a relieved smile on her face, as if she had finally managed to deal with a major life problem.

"Evan and I are New generation Heroes, that's why we have the weird symbols in our eyes. And why we have special skills we can't talk about until certain conditions are met.

So, in other words. I can't really explain why Evan has so many skills either."

She casually shot down their second question before it could even be asked.

"Why did you want Evan's search Party to get called off?"

Duke Roger voiced out the only question whose answer he actually cared about, making Laurene hold her hand to her chin for a moment before deciding to on how to reply.

She turned to Jenson who was seated beside Finley and asked.

"Can you use the memory magic on me, I have a specific memory I want played out."

Jenson nodded and proceeded to do the same thing he did on Sir Walsh. He activated the magic and was able to easily access the particular memory she wanted as she was currently thinking about it.

It was a scene of Evan packing multiple things into his spatial expansion bag, still wearing the same clothes he changed into after returning from the Graveyard of the arrogant.

["Wanna come with me?"

"Oka-?!wait, no!"

"Tch...I could use a good mage for support."

"I'm happy that you praised me but one noble running away from home is gonna cause an uproar.

Two on the other hand, especially when one is the Princess, an Imperial family member, is gonna turn the nation upside down."

"True, your father would turn the country upside down just to find you so you coming with me would be a bad idea.

I also understand that just by leaving, I would be causing a lot of problems for the Dukedom. Thankfully, there aren't any who would dare to go up against the Blood Paladin's family, at least for now.

Though I won't be gone forever, I'd come to find you in about 3-4 years, maybe more...."]

It was a conversation that happened between Laurene and Evan a few months ago, the day before he was discovered to be missing.

["No, I have to.

The thing is, a lot of bullshit is gonna happen soon, and I need to prevent said bullshit from occurring.

A lot of questions would be raised if I tried all that while still here, especially now that your father has his eyes on me, so it's best I go alone.

I'm gonna leave a vague explanation of why I'd be going. I'm leaving tonight too."]

They all saw Laurene's failed attempt at persuading Evan to stay and the sudden appearance of the tiny 20cm tall girl who glared at Laurene, instantly figuring out that she must be some kind of spirit.

[Don't try to stop master from leaving!]

Next, came the answer to Duke Roger's question.

["Ah, Laurene, can you get your dad to call off the search party after like a month or two?"

"Huh? Why and how?"]

They watched Evan take a seat on his bed and explain his plan to prevent the search party from catching him.

["They already know about our mystic eye crests; a lot more than we think they do.

What they don't know, is what the symbols mean.

So cut a deal with your dad, he'd definitely agree if it's you."

"Your real reason for leaving, it's to prevent disasters on the scale of the 'N&*MBB7b r%B£' going on a massacre?

Something that would have caused millions of deaths..."

"Yeah."

"I see. Then you should have said that from the start, no need to threaten me."]

The part where Laurene spoke of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' was garbled as the group had no prior knowledge of the seven deadly sins.

All they knew of were the 'Seven Strongest Invaders' from the legends and did not have enough information to connect the two.

["Okay, I'd help you out."

"Thanks."

"Yeah. Better get out before shit goes wrong."]

The memory ended right after Laurene said those words as she left, answering Duke Roger's question and leaving them with more.

"Sadly, I don't seem to be able to tell you about a lot of things, including who the red-eyed woman with Evan was."

Her gaze turned to Ralphie for a moment before continuing.

"There are a lot of other things with stupid restrictions on them, but hey...You'd figure it all out eventually."

Laurene shrugged as she spoke, uncrossing her legs as she stood up and was about to leave when the Duke Roger asked another question.

"Do you, perhaps know his next destination?"

They were all sure that Evan had definitely left Geto city and had no idea of his next destination, Laurene, however, shook her head and replied.

"I don't, and I honestly can't predict. I only found him by chance before.

And I don't recall anywhere he may want to-!"

It was then that she finally remembered something Evan did when they were in the graveyard of the arrogant.

'Getting Pride was his goal all along.

Perhaps he'd go after the others?'

She looked at the worried father and heaved a sigh before answering.

"I'm not too sure, but I think his next destination is somewhere in Hobha."

After answering the Duke's question, she excused herself from the room.

Abe's Guest House

City State of Magic, Kasteblum

December 17th

Year 1051

"We, are going to Hobha next."

Two days later, Evan and the gang had arrived at Kasteblum and were discussing their plans for Kasteblum along with their next destination. Unsurprisingly, the place he called out was the same as Laurene's guess.

The reason was quite simple.

It was where the next member of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' who was closest to them was sealed.

The 'Tower of Avarice' was located in the country north of Kasteblum, Hobha.

One didn't need to be a genius to figure that out.

"So, why are were going to the mansion of the damned? I never really asked."

Eliza voiced out a question, one which Evan answered in the next moment.

"To Level Up!

There's nothing different about the Mansion of the damned except the fact that it is a dungeon where those entering receive twice the amount of experience points.

It is a dungeon recommended for those who wish to level up faster."

'And it makes me get eight times the experience as I normally get four times the experience. Multiplying that is eight times, I can reach level 150 in no time!'

Evan fantasized about breaking the Level 150 barrier as Pride asked another question.

"Is this information public?"

"Yep,"

"Then why is the adventurer population of this city the same as any other?"

Pride had noticed that on their way to the guest house they were in, there was no influx of adventurers in the city with the amount being the same as they were in any other city with a dungeon.

"Well, the thing is All the dungeons in Kasteblum have level boost of two times but to regulate adventurers who entered them and prevent an increase in disorder in the city, the city's leaders limited the number of times adventurers could challenge dungeons within a certain period of time

This means we can only enter the dungeon once in six weeks.

And since you have to show your adventurer ID on the way in, it is easy to keep track. If you try to force your way in, it is possible to have your adventurer card revoked and you may end up paying some ridiculous fines."

"Makes sense..."

Pride nodded in satisfaction as she understood how the city managed itself. The public order was good as criminals barely tried anything.

Kasteblum was not called the city-state of magic for no reason, the sheer amount of battle mages randomly walking around the city streets was enough to fit dozens of platoons in any nation's army.

Randomly committing a crime and being caught by a passing battle mage, who had been told beforehand that they would receive more resources from the government for every criminal caught, was the worst thing that could happen to one.

"So, tomorrow is a free day for sightseeing. Go around the city, buy stuff, eat whatever you want. Cus we are gonna be stuck inside a dungeon for at least two weeks afterward.

We're going as deep as possible."
