I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 100

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (101)

3 days after departing from Hermes.

This was the time it took to arrive at Londinium. Meanwhile, Ilya was talking nonstop about the card game.

“joy! Who would play a game like this? Even a smart wizard like me loses without being able to do anything if the cards are assigned like crap. “It will probably fail at the box office.”

At first, I cursed the game.

“The reason this body was defeated by the Duke was not due to skill, but simply luck. “When I think about it that way, I can understand the structure of the game.”

After you have accepted it.

“I was thinking about it… wasn’t the beginning too boring? I think it would be good to assign special abilities to each character so that they can do something even if they only have cards that require high mana…” “

If this is going to spread quickly, I think it would be okay to hold some kind of competition. “The winner will be handed a winning plaque made by the Duke and a card with a special emblem.”

“I was thinking about a centralized system. If me and my inspiration stick together for about 3 months, we might come up with some decent results…”

Now, he was talking about the card game, talking about improvements to the game.

Ethan, who was staring at Illya, asked with a grin.

“Was it that fun?”

“Wh…what? There’s no way a wise wizard like me would have fun with such a wicked gamble. “It wasn’t fun.”

“Right. Gailen said that he would give a special bundle of cards as a gift to the members of the dukedom in the future… so I will exclude yours.”

“…!”

Ilya’s eyes shook greatly. Then she spoke urgently.

“Well… no. “Ask for mine too.”

“Is it necessary?”

“Hmm! Shouldn’t there be balance in the game? If it’s a special card bundle, there will definitely be good cards in it. Such cards can easily ruin the balance of the game. As a wizard, I have no choice but to check.”

“If that is the reason, let me open mine and show you.”

“….”

Ilya, who was looking in this direction, puffed out her cheeks.

“You know everything, but you have a bad taste for gossiping.”

“People must live honestly.”

“…How can you go so far into a lady’s territory that shouldn’t be questioned? I only realized it now. “The duke is not the type of person who will be popular with women.”

Ethan flinched.

This is because memories of my past life flashed through my mind.

Ilya.

Although he was over a hundred years old, his appearance and behavior were truly that of a child-like wizard of that age.

To be struck by an unexpected blow from a guy like that.

While I was speechless due to the harsh blow that reminded me of my past life, Ilya glared at Ethan and spoke.

“okay. I want it! Are you done?”

“…okay. “I’ll ask for yours too.”

huh?

Ilya tilted her head.

This is because the duke’s tone suddenly quieted down, as if he was looking at a lion with its head bowed.

what?

‘…no way?’

Immediately, Ilya’s face brightened.

“Peacock. Could it be that he wasn’t popular with women? Now that I think about it, you didn’t hear any of the common self-talk, right?”

“It’s not that he’s not popular, but he’s so busy that he’s not interested in that field at all…”

“Now that I think about it, I’ve never seen him talk to a woman. Sylvia? At least it’s just that kid… In fact, wasn’t that kid dressed as a boy? “Then what have you actually done to be considered a woman?”

Whatever you say.

Ilya was only saying what she wanted to say, as if she had seized the opportunity to counterattack.

“…I’m tired. “I’m going to take a nap.”

“Hmm. “I never thought the western dragon would have such concerns….”

“It’s noisy.”

“You don’t have to worry too much. Still, isn’t there at least one woman to talk to?”

“…Couldn’t that be referring to you?”

“Is there anyone else besides me? “For a herbivore like a peacock.”

“…herbivore man?”

“In the Kingdom of Murnen, men’s romantic relationships are broadly classified into two categories. Meat-eating men and herbivorous men. “A herbivore man is a word used to refer to a man who is ‘passive in romantic relationships.’”

“Haa…”

“He’s a herbivore… mmmm. It suits you better than you think…”

“If you say one more word, I will never see your card again.”

“Ahh! Duke, that is truly not a coward….”

“Shh.”

Ilya’s mouth was tightly shut as if it were a clam. Anyone could see that he was completely addicted to card games.

* * *

The two people who entered the inner city of Londinium unpacked their luggage.

“Now that we have inspiration, we can begin full-scale restoration work. “Let’s go.”

I looked at Sylvia and she nodded. It was a signal that nothing was urgent enough to be handled right away.

“Let me go.”

“yes.”

I entered the magic lab with Ilia. Inside, numerous magic circles were moving actively.

There was already one person waiting inside.

It was Melaisis.

“Are you here, Your Excellency the Duke?”

“okay.”

“Kuhm! Old woman! Why did you come so late! Eggplant? “Did you save me?”

“Hehe. Young man. Don’t be surprised. Voila!”

Two branches in Ilya’s hands. Melaisis saw this and her eyes sparkled.

One was the branch of the World Tree.

But the other one.

“…What is this? The energy I feel is unusual…”

“It is a branch of a tree called Yongrinmok.”

“Yonglinmok?”

“You couldn’t possibly have known about this tree, right?”

“….”

“The Yongrin tree is an evil tree grown by the Yongin people. Do you understand?”

“Kuhm. “There was a tree like that.”

“It’s a tree that engineers wouldn’t know about.”

“That damn technician, technician! Aren’t you tired of it?”

“I was just telling the truth. Why are you so angry? That’s why I always told you to read a lot and accumulate common sense… Tsk tsk. Maybe it’s because I’m still young, but I only know how to run around and play…” “

…I say this every time, but I’m now 70.”

“Is seventy a large number? “If you think about my age, I’m a kid who isn’t even over 20 yet.”

“….”

Melaisis clicked her tongue as if she was tired and was handed two branches.

“Is it okay to strengthen these branches?”

“okay. Also, I would like to strengthen this handle as well. Is that possible?”

“My specialty is metal, but hmm… if it’s a world tree with excellent harmony… I think it could go well with my magic formula…”

Melaisis, who mumbled for a while, nodded.

“I’ll give it a try. I need a large magic circle, so please help me.”

“Don’t do that.”

Melaisis and Ilia drew a magic circle in the room.

After drawing a magic circle surrounded by three layers, I placed the handle of the divine sword and two branches in the center.

Soon, Melaisis looked at Ethan.

“Your Excellency the Duke. From now on, we are going to strengthen these three materials. If we infuse mana into the magic circle and give a signal, would you be able to infuse mana as well? “We will even work on a sense of ownership together.”

A sense of ownership.

The process of creating an artifact was a process of infusing the owner’s mana to make the product easy to use.

It was also one of the tasks that all weapons above a certain level had to go through. In fact, it was one of the works carried out together with Popolence when making the Neprion greatsword.

“Sure.”

“Then let us begin. Haap!”

Melaisis’ mana entered through the triple magic circle.

Ugh!

Even Illya’s mana was poured into the slowly trembling magic circle.

Soon the two began to sweat profusely.

What I wanted to strengthen now was the handle of the weapon called the ‘new sword’ and the two branches called the new weapon.

As such, several times more mana had to be used than normal raw material strengthening work.

Even so.

This was such an enormous amount of mana that it could be said to be unexpected.

‘what?’

The two wizards tilted their heads.

The eyes of the wizards looking inside the magic circle widened.

‘…huh?’

The handle of the divine sword, which had been shaking, suddenly began to loosen.

Soon, they were seen spreading out onto the branches of the Yongrin Tree and the World Tree, entangling themselves like snakes.

“What…what! Why are they coming together now? Old woman! What happened? “Is this something you expected?”

“Oh…no? “Why are they coming together now!”

The two wizards were shocked.

Originally, I was going to combine the three materials after completing the raw material strengthening work. However, the three ingredients suddenly started mixing, and an enormous amount of mana was being consumed in the process.

Of course, that mana.

It was being supplied by the flow of mana from the two wizards who were currently squeezing out mana from the magic circle.

“Ugh… old woman! Add some more mana! “I’m really going to die like this!”

“…Do you think that just because you are an archmage, your mana is infinite? Ugh…!”

As unexpected mixing occurred along with reinforcement, mana consumption was increasing to an unbearable level.

‘If you’re unlucky with this…!’

While operating the magic circle, all of the mana could be sucked out and the man could become dry…

The two people urgently looked at the duke.

I was shouting with my eyes.

Ask for help.

Without hesitation, Ethan poured his mana into the magic circle.

Good luck!

Mana like pure white flame flowed through the magic circle.

The mixing process began to accelerate due to the enormous power contained within.

It was only for a while that I was infusing mana like that.

Ethan frowned.

“…Does mana really flow this fast?”

“What is it… Ah! no way!”

Ilya’s eyes lit up.

Yongrinmok, an object with the characteristic of absorbing mana like crazy.

Among the items being combined now, there was definitely a branch of the Yongrin tree.

Even after purification, the unique characteristics of Yongrinmok itself continued to remain.

“That… damn Yonglinmok! It’s because of Yongrinmok! I need to add more mana! “Or everyone will wither and die!”

If you stop the magic circle once it has been activated, you could suffer fatal internal injuries due to the magic recoil.

Now it was all or nothing.

Ethan nodded and immediately released the ring.

The mana accumulated in the three pills flowed out like a dam bursting.

Waves of white flame.

A huge amount of mana, literally a wave, took over the entire magic circle in an instant.

Melaisis saw this and widened her eyes.

‘The Duke’s mana amount… was this much?’

I definitely remember that when I saw it before, it didn’t have this much tsunami-like mana.

Ilya was also the one who expressed surprise. It had been less than two months since I had seen the Duke in action at the flower opening ceremony.

‘Obviously, even back then…’

The white flame that the duke created was only enough to dye the great sword.

A very brief moment.

Unlike in the past, the duke was already several steps ahead.

This was a fact that could be clearly seen just by looking at the pure white flame-like mana that colored the entire huge triple magic circle.

‘…This is why the bishop got his head cut off.’

White salt.

Even a bishop would have been able to handle a flame with enormous power so skillfully.

Now that I see it, it was only natural that his head was cut off without much resistance.

In this way, the white mana that dominated the entire magic circle was poured into the combined handle.

Crack!

Wow!

The handle, which had been crunching for a while as if a bone had been broken, gradually began to quiet down.

“I think it’s over.”

With Ethan’s words, the magic circle gradually began to stop operating.

In the middle of a huge triple magic circle.

The handle of the new sword was lying there.

And the handle was completely stained white.
