Laux didn't remember the battle very clearly.
But the words that brave man once said have always been engraved in his heart.
Laux could not forget the moment when the hero became so angry that he wanted to kill him.
What made Laux even more angry at the time was that after the hero was beaten back step by him, his attitude took a 180-degree turn, revealing his identity as a hero, and asked him to admit defeat on the condition that he would join the gang.
"What a hero!
Are you worthy of being called a hero
Are there any heroes who will bully civilians and force others to do things against their will?"
When he came to his senses, the angry Laux had already pierced the hero's heart with the sword in his hand.
The brave man fell silently, and the blood on the blade flowed along the blade to his fingertips. Only then did Laux realize what he had just done.
Overwhelmed with fear and guilt, Laux dropped his sword and fled.
He fled back to his room and stayed indoors.
Everything seemed like a dream, lingering in the mind of the young boy Laux, and he didn't know what to do.
His uncle Cloche once again became a ray of light, shining into his heart.
Cloche went from street to street, making arrangements everywhere, and soon suppressed the matter and took all the responsibility.
It was he who made Laux stand up straight again and live in the sunshine.
But Cloche also brought trouble upon himself because of these things.
For a long time, Laux didn't understand why his uncle, who was so kind to others, became like that.
Until Laux learned the truth.
A few months after accidentally killing the hero, Laux's life gradually returned to normal.
Unfortunately, the peace was soon broken.
One day, Laux accidentally triggered the gift given to the hero by the goddess, allowing him to see the attributes possessed by other people.
It's just a name on his attribute, not his own.
After confirming with his childhood friend who had been harassed by the hero, Laux realized that the name on his attribute was the name of the person he killed that day.
The man who appeared in the village that day was a true hero, and he did not lie!
Suddenly, Laux felt like he had drunk a belly full of bitter water.
He dialed the hero's system and accidentally saw the main task of defeating the Demon King, and saw the countdown for the Demon King's arrival.
After thinking it over countless times, Laux finally decided to take responsibility.
Since I was the one who killed the hero, I should complete everything the hero had to do and save the world for him.
Laux explained the situation to his uncle Cloche, began his hellish training, and then set out on his journey like a true hero.
During the journey, Laux met one reliable partner after another and went on adventures with them.
After the arrival of the Demon King, Laux went through life and death with them and experienced one brutal battle after another.
What Laux didn't expect was that just as he was trying to fulfill his duty as a hero, people from the Village of Brave found his uncle.
Because of Laux's outstanding performance, the people in the village of heroes realized that the power of the heroes was inherited by an unrelated person. Then they learned the real situation and knew that Laux accidentally killed the hero.
But the people of the Village of Brave did not take back the power of the brave.
Instead, he threatens to take back the hero's power by force, and demands that his uncle Cloche carry out the dangerous mission of going undercover in the Demon King's army.
His uncle knew what the consequences of refusal would be.
In order to continue his adventure, Cloche "gladly" accepted the conditions of the Village of the Brave.
After Cloch went undercover in the Demon King's Army, everything went smoothly for him and he became a cadre in the Demon King's Army.
The Demon King also gradually noticed this human who surrendered to them. In order to put pressure on the hero and to test Cloche's loyalty, the Demon King ordered Cloche to massacre his hometown.
After receiving this task, Cloche was devastated.
He sent messages to the Brave Village several times, begging for the Brave Village to intervene, but the response he got was
"If the demon king asks you to massacre an entire village, then go ahead and do it as cleanly as possible.
Now we have received information that the Demon King deliberately released the news to let the hero know that you massacred the village, hoping to use it as a trap to kill the hero.
if
Forget it, we believe you have your own judgment."
Clochi had no choice. Even if the Demon King didn't send him, he would definitely send someone else.
The Village of Brave decided to stand aside and watch completely, and at the critical moment, it was possible to cut off the source of the trouble. With the power of Laux and Cloche alone, there was no way for them to escape.
“If we can kill the people in the village early and withdraw quickly, without cooperating with the Demon King’s plan, the hero will have a chance to escape.
Although he did not carry out the plan of the Demon King, he should be labeled as someone who is eager to achieve merit. He can continue to steal information from the Demon King's army and contribute to the hero's defeat of the Demon King.
If I die in the end, I can take all the secrets and bury them underground forever."
When making a decision, we often don’t know what is right or wrong.
Right or wrong can only be known after the results are fully presented.
Cloche told Laux that he would never forget the expressions on Laux's parents' faces when they knew why he did this.
At the time, Cloche had no regrets.
It was not until Laux looked at him with an extremely shocked expression that Cloche realized that the decision he had made was probably wrong.
But, in that situation, if you make a mistake, you will only make it again and again.
In order to ensure that the plan would be foolproof, the Demon King assigned other Demon King cadres in addition to Cloche.
Cloche could only use his own life in the end, sneering and telling Laux: “The Demon King is on his way, you will never be able to escape.
Today is just the beginning!
If you don't have enough power, you can't protect anything.
Because I can't protect anything, I turned to the Demon King to seek a higher level of power.
In this world, power is the right to speak, power is authority, power is everything.
There is nothing like supreme power."
Cloche taught Laux one final lesson about what would happen if a person became addicted to power. Cloche also buried countless secrets with his death.
If Laux had not gradually figured out some things in his middle age and decided to dig out the truth step by step, he would most likely never know the truth of the matter and would always be kept in the dark.
The same thing goes for the hero and the demon king.
If that hadn't happened, Laux would never have thought of digging into the hidden secrets behind the deaths of each of his companions.
It is even more impossible for him to make a choice like today, occupying the body of the brave Walkris and trying to combine the split power of the Demon King and the brave into one.
