I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 101

# After returning, the family was ruined (102)

The two wizards were speechless at the sight of the handle that had turned pure white, as if it had been bleached.

I had never heard anywhere that the branches of the World Tree were pure white.

“…old woman. Are there cases where the primary colors are reversed when things are combined?”

“No… this is the first time I’ve seen something like this…”

It would be better to pick it up once rather than say it a hundred times to understand its effectiveness.

Ethan approached the magic circle that had stopped working and picked up the handle.

The first thing I looked at was the inside of the handle. The inside of the handle, which had originally been cracked in several places as if it would fall apart, was now tightly structured as if it had been completely repaired.

‘The branches of the Yongrin tree seem to be well established.’

The handle and the two were perfectly combined, as if they had been one from the beginning.

“How do you feel?”

“It looks like there’s nothing wrong on the outside.”

“Thank goodness. What about performance?”

“I’ll have to try it.”

It was the moment when mana was blown into the handle. Mana was quickly drawn into the handle, as if receiving a very familiar energy.

Ugh!

Several tree roots came out from the trembling handle.

Soon it began to take root in Ethan’s hand.

‘That’s fascinating.’

Even though the root was creeping into my hand, I didn’t feel any pain.

Rather, it felt like it was in tune with the handle.

The two wizards who were quietly watching this scene sparkled in their eyes.

“…Was the original handle of the divine sword like this?”

“no. “This is my first time seeing this kind of rooting phenomenon.”

Even though the handle is made of branches of the World Tree, I have never heard of it taking root directly in a person’s hand.

“It’s as if we are assimilating on each other’s wavelength.”

Ethan nodded.

As the root settled into my hand, I began to understand more and more deeply the function of the handle.

‘The added function was like this.’

I felt like I knew even without testing.

“Duke…Your Excellency the Duke! “Are your hands okay?”

“okay. “It seems that the sense of ownership has been successfully achieved.”

“Everything… I’m glad.”

The old man, who was sweating so much that his bare scalp was shiny, breathed a sigh of relief.

The materials used in this work were not commonly found in the world. Not only did the branches of the two trees do the same.

Crucially, it was a situation where the duke’s new sword was used as an ingredient.

‘If reinforcements failed here….’

Even if the Duke in front of him blew off his head, he had nothing to say.

Fortunately, the duke seemed satisfied with the result.

Even though it operates in a bizarre way by rooting itself in your hand.

“Is this how you use it?”

That’s when Ethan lifted the handle. Mana began to flow through the handle of the divine sword.

‘…Hoo.’

The changed handle of the divine sword was greedily absorbing not only his own mana but also the mana flowing in the air.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible to directly absorb not only the mana in the air but also the mana of people?

“Ilya.”

“Did you call me?”

“There’s something I’d like to try. Can I try it?”

“It doesn’t matter as long as it’s not dangerous.”

“okay.”

That was the moment when Ethan aimed the handle at Ilia. The mana that had been deposited in Illya’s body began to flow out little by little, and soon began to move towards the inside of the handle.

“Hoo…”

Ilya’s eyes lit up and she controlled her mana. Then, Mana, which seemed as if it would be sucked in at any moment, stopped in midair.

Mana was continuing the battle of strength as if it were a tightly pulled string.

“Sucking mana… is that one of the functions of the handle?”

“I guess so.”

“What do you need to use it?”

“If you just bring it to them and think of it as an enemy, it seems like they will absorb it on their own.”

Ethan this time aimed the handle at Melaisis.

But nothing was happening to him.

“I guess you thought you were an ally.”

“okay.”

Ilya’s eyes lit up.

This is because the function of the changed handle was much better than expected.

Just looking at the ability to suck up the enemy’s mana, it was like that.

In order to resist it, I had to keep concentrating my mind and controlling my mana.

It could be said that it was extremely tiring just to have to keep concentrating in the middle of an urgent battle.

At best, it was so good that it could only function as a single handle.

Is that it?

The ability to suck up mana from the atmosphere was equally excellent.

That was no different from carrying a portable mana potion.

I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of utility the new sword would have once it was completed.

“It will be a great weapon. Are you satisfied with the result?”

“okay. Good work.”

Since it was connected to the handle as one, I could definitely feel the difference. The handles of today can be said to be a luxury product that is twice as good as the handles of the past.

* * *

Two weeks have passed since I made the handle. In the meantime, elves began migrating to the newly created Dominion, and the Black Society was reorganized into an assassination group belonging to the Black Moon.

Shadobo and Shadosword.

Assassins in the Black Society were taught two skills.

As we brought in people who were useful from the beginning, the period of learning new technology was twice as fast.

‘If you teach me for about 15 more days.’

It seemed like there would be no problem if I put it into practice.

It was then.

A knock sounded outside the door.

“Duke. “Can I come in?”

“Please come in.”

Sylvia came inside and handed me a letter.

“This is a letter from Marquis Fractal.”

Ethan immediately opened the letter and looked at its contents.

‘Turian Marquis.’

The head of the spirit family, one of the kingdom’s seven families. It was a letter he personally sent.

Ethan, who was reading the contents, chuckled.

The last time I requested a meeting, there was a note asking when I would fulfill the promise I had postponed.

From the request to meet last time to the handwritten letter I sent this time.

The guy was shaking his butt as if sweet honey had been applied to this area.

“What a fun guy.”

“yes?”

“no. “It’s no big deal.”

Soon after, he wrote down a page of his letter. If I were to summarize the contents in one line, it would be as follows.

Don’t rush the Marquis subject arrogantly.

Ethan put the duke’s seal on the letter and handed it to Sylvia.

“Send it directly to the Turian Marquis.”

“All right. Oh, I have one more thing to report to you. “It is said that metal shipments have begun from the Kingdom of Ameria.”

The quantity was shipped faster than expected.

‘I’ll be able to receive the alloy soon.’

A skilled blacksmith was needed to handle alloy. Fortunately, the blacksmith was already ready.

“What about Porforens?”

“It is said that after taking a leave of absence, he is heading to the duchy with his subordinates. “They said they were planning to arrive here in time for the alloy’s arrival date.”

“i get it.”

“Then I will forward the letter.”

Sylvia bowed her head politely and left the office.

‘He’s a marquis.’

He was one of the heads of the seven families and was known as the highest level spiritist in the kingdom.

Superhuman and transcendent.

A high-ranking noble who has reached an intermediate level.

‘I wonder how they will react.’

If they kept trying to stick with it even though they were openly criticizing it, it meant that there was definitely something worth getting out of here.

But what if.

What if you receive this letter and become indignant and act hostile?

This would mean that the problem is not so great that the Marquis would lose face.

It didn’t matter what happened.

The 7 kingdoms that made the third child like that were clear enemies to Ethan, and it didn’t really matter whether those enemies were against him or not.

If there is a complaint, shouldn’t it be resolved with a sword?

‘It won’t be long.’

It’s time to destroy the 7 families one by one.

Considering your growth rate, it won’t take long until then.

* * *

Four days later.

The dwarven blacksmiths who would handle it along with the Menelian alloy arrived one after another.

Among over ten blacksmiths.

Popolence, who was in the front row, saw Ethan and came running in a huff.

“Oh oh! You bastard! “It’s been a really long time.”

“ha ha ha. hello. “Ilya.”

Popolence, who greeted Ilia, immediately looked at Ethan.

“Oh…Your Excellency the Duke! How have you been?”

“okay. “I heard you were also awarded the title of Viscount.”

“Hehe… It’s all thanks to the Duke!”

There were quite a few royal dwarves who stuck with the dragons.

Thanks to reporting this directly to the king, he was able to receive recognition for his contribution.

It was for that very reason that he was awarded the rank of Viscount.

‘You must never miss this line!’

If he successfully completed his one-year temporary blacksmith job, he could be granted the title of earl, something he had never dreamed of.

All of this was thanks to Duke Ethan, who could be described as a golden rope. Naturally, Porforence’s attitude had no choice but to change.

“You want to entrust me with the processing of Menelian alloy?”

“right.”

“Can I take a look at the alloy?”

“Follow me.”

I moved to the blacksmith shop located in the inner city with the dwarves with bright eyes.

“Oh oh! “Is this Menelian alloy?”

“Is it okay to say this is a high-end product? “The duke really hit the jackpot!”

The dwarves’ eyes sparkled when they saw the alloy.

The closer the Menelian alloy was to black, the higher it was treated.

The color of the metal currently in the blacksmith shop was so dark that its surface could be described as a dark shadow.

If the dwarves under your command expressed surprise.

Popolence was different.

gulp.

He swallowed and looked at the alloy.

By mobilizing all of his connections, he was able to collect only the highest-quality melting agents with excellent performance.

That’s why I was confident that even if it was Menelian alloy, I would be able to melt it.

‘This… looks a lot harder than I thought.’

Perhaps it was the temperature of the special furnace used by the Dwarven royal family to melt metal, but it seemed like it would be difficult to melt this metal with the highest quality melting agent.

Porforens looked at Ethan.

“Uh… Duke.”

“Did you call me?”

“Is it true that this alloy really came from the Kingdom of Ameria?”

“right.”

“This can’t be happening…”

“Huh?”

“The alloy sold in the Kingdom of Ameria is usually of low quality. If you are really good, it would be best to obtain a medium-grade alloy… How can you get a high-grade alloy…” “

Hmph. The reason is simple. Because this body is made of reinforced metal.”

“…yes? “Are you saying that Ilya strengthened this?”

“okay. “I received a little help from an assistant wizard, but I was the one who did the overall work.”

After completing the strengthening of the alloy, Melaisis collapsed as if she had fainted and was carried away a long time ago.

It was said that there was no one who could refute this statement.

‘What a damn wizard!’

After hearing Ilya’s words, Porforens burst out in anger.

I didn’t even expect that a high-grade alloy would arrive.

of course.

‘…Can it be melted?’

I couldn’t help but have these concerns.

I wasn’t sure, but I had to give it a try.

Because he had to prove to the duke that he was a useful blacksmith.

“Whew… then! “Let’s get started!”

Porforens shouted excitedly and took out a protective suit from his bag.

“Put it on quickly!”

“yes!”

After wearing a specially tailored protective suit.

Porforens looked at Ilia and Ethan.

“For the two of you…”

“Ugh… that’s gross. “Turn around quickly.”

“….”

Porforens, dressed in tight clothing, turned his body backwards and asked.

“That protective suit…”

“I’m fine.”

“Even if I give you something like that, I won’t wear it.”

“Still, if it’s a top-quality melting agent, the temperature would be twice that of a high-grade melting agent… I don’t know about Duke Ethan, who specializes in fire, but Illia-sama…” “

Ah, I said I don’t wear it.”

“…Yeah. “Even if you get burned, it’s not my fault.”

“joy. “I will take care of my body, so just melt the metal.”

What a mean wizard!

Porforens gritted his teeth and opened the lid of the top-quality melting agent.

As I carefully sprayed the melting agent onto the alloy, Ilya blew mana onto the melting agent.

Bubbling….

The surrounding temperature began to rise much more steeply than when the Neprion greatsword was made.

By the time the temperature was properly activated, the surrounding area had already been completely engulfed in heat.

Ilya widened the distance and used protection magic.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.
