Reincarnated Hero System

[Don’t worry about it.

Oh, I also met the First Star of the Seven Star Generals too.]

Evan’s words made the Emperor and everyone else listening instantly forget about what he had said previously.

The First Star of the Great Eastern Empire’s Seven Star Generals, was an existence whose true name and identity was unknown to the world.

However, his power had been confirmed multiple times in the past, so people knew that the “Frost Star’ really existed.

[I met the guy in Geto, a few days before Xakon tried to murder me. I had a small chat with him and told him I was coming over.]

Without even waiting for Laurene to process the information she had just been given, Evan switched over to another topic instantly.

It was as if the boy was excitedly chattering about as much as he could after not having seen Laurene in close to a year.

[Oh, Gavin also told me that you went to an international conference with your eyes activated.

Nice one.

It’d make all those world leaders realize that something is about to happen. I bet some countries started pressing you about it right after?]

“…yeah. Some were arrogant about it so I had to teach them a lesson.”

[Good.

We’re the ones with the upper hand here. They shouldn’t try to boss us around just because we’re kids.]

The boy was talking about so many important things in such quick session it was hard to even start analyzing which was more outrageous than the next.

[Anyway, don’t press them down too much though. Try to build strong connections with the sensible ones so we’d have more allies and we’d be able to control the situation easily when the war starts.

We’d also have an easier time getting them to believe the bullshit we’re gonna spout.

That’s why I’m meeting many important people from major powers after all.]

The boy took a sip out of the juice pack he got from his inventory before continuing with his words.

[After all the Undead have been taken care of, I’m gonna head to the Beast Kingdom, then the Great Eastern Empire right after.

When all that’s done with, I’m gonna come back to the Great Western Empire, for you.]

“For me?”

[Yeah.

Although Liz is a good asset in battle, her roots are that of a support magician, not an assault or attack one.

And my next destination, Tarse, needs a lot of attack magic power, I guess?

Besides, your very existence is necessary for my plan to come to fruition.

But this is a matter for about two or three years later so don’t think much about it now. I just wanted to let you know beforehand.

We can’t touch Tarse for now though.

Although the Demonic Hand executive there is the ‘Fifth Finger’, that guy takes orders from the ‘Second finger’.

And if we start Fucking up his plans too early, the ‘Second Finger’ would come for us in person. That’s one person that I really don’t want us getting on their radar.

Because if they take action against us, even your dad’s brother or your grandfather wouldn’t be able to save us then and we’d all die.

We’d need one of the ‘Living Legends’ of Aidos to have a chance of survival.]

“One of the ‘Living Legends’?!”

Laurene’s reaction to Evan’s words was only natural. The ‘Living Legends’ of Aidos were a group of existences a step below ‘The Five’.

And as their name implied, they were all Legends, Legendary Level Existences.

Her shock had almost made her miss the fact that she had mentioned something about her father’s brother.

‘But Dad’s an only child?’

She glanced at her father and saw an expression of surprise on his face, however, she didn’t know if it was because of Evan’s words concerning his supposed ‘brother’ or the Living Legend matter.

However, she missed the way that the expression on Finley’s and Luke’s faces darkened instantly, with both of them having one singular thought.

‘How does he know?!’

Being the current and former ‘First Sword’ respectively, the two men were privy to some information about the royalty of the Great Western Empire, and part of the reason why the country was considered a Major World Power.

Taking from one of the reasons why the city-state of magic, Kasteblum, was considered a world power despite its small size, then it was easy to figure out one of the reasons the Great Western Empire was considered one too.

This was something that Finley and Luke knew.

The fact that the ‘Ten Great Swordsmen’ were not the Great Western Empire’s true trump cards.

They were aware of the fact that there existed Epic level existences among the members of the Royal Family.

But before anything could be said after they all recovered from Evan’s bombshell, the boy started talking again, and this time, what he spoke of was not something that his lessened restrictions would allow non-members of the Seven Heroes to indirectly hear.

[Hey, Laurene. In your veTyb$#5g5-!]

The moment Evan heard the static that accompanied his words, his eyes narrowed in suspicion as he asked with a cold voice.

[Laurene.

Is there someone with you?]

The new generation Fourth hero instantly took action to resolve the issue and clear Evan’s suspicions, calmly turning to the right as if she was looking at someone and replying.

“My mother just walked in.”

She placed a hand at her back and used wind magic to open and close the door, letting it slam loud enough for the sound receiver to capture it.

As for the Empress, she instantly got the cue and stood up, walking towards Laurene from the direction she looked towards and speaking.

Seeing her, Evan’s suspicions visibly lessened as he leaned back on his chair and greeted the Empress. He was about to speak more when Kuro jumped out of his shadow and climbed up to his shoulder, peeking at the woman and whispering something in Evan’s ear.

[Yeah. I already knew she could see you even when you were in my shadow.𝑶𝓋𝑙𝐞xt.𝗰𝒐𝔪

Her action of staring at my shadow for an extended period of time kind gave it away.]
