I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 205

＃When I returned, the family was ruined (206)

The sparring with the religious leader, which aroused a warmer reaction than the final, ended. Ethan’s achievements were considerable.

“The winner of the continental swordsmanship competition! There will be an awards ceremony by Duke Ethan!”

It was the King who presided over the awards ceremony. Prize money and gold plaques were awarded. Although it was an item of considerable value, I did not visit this place for its material value.

The most important factor.

That was honor.

“Hey. In the end, Ardan won this time too.”

“…I know.”

It happened every time, but this time I couldn’t help but be particularly surprised. Just a year ago, there was a rumor going around that Ardan was in ruins. It was one of those pieces of news that everyone knew.

Is that it?

Ardan’s eldest son, who won the championship, was a patient who had been unable to move from his hospital bed for over ten years. Not only did he overcome all those obstacles, he also had to prove that he was the best among the later exponents, so it was only a matter of time before Ardan’s name was once again engraved across the continent. Because this was an international competition that had a significant impact.

“Congratulations on winning the Duke.”

“thank you.”

“Are you planning to go back right away?”

“yes. “I plan to.”

“Well… I’m going to be very busy now, so it wouldn’t be polite to hold on to it. “You worked hard.”

Bjorn shook hands with a warm smile, as if he were the king of Heidern.

I could almost feel with my own skin that his attitude was much friendlier than before.

‘For sure…’

Ethan looked at the religious leader next to the king. Now we have agreed to cooperate with that demon dragon. If Bjorn is one of the puppets set up by the Demon Dragon.

Even if they were nobles from a foreign country, it was not strange for them to show a friendly attitude.

‘I have planted my eyes.’

News from the capital will be easy to obtain.

The awards ceremony passed quickly.

Nerian advanced to the round of 32 and Myers advanced to the round of 64. The two people’s names were also featured in the poster, increasing their reputation. Of course, it may not be as good as Ethan, who reached the finals.

Still, as the names of two of Ardan’s knights are known, we can at least notice that the knights’ strength has begun to recover quickly, unlike in the past.

It was time to return.

at that time.

A whisper was heard.

[I mean, ‘the magic race.’]

The demon dragon continued speaking.

[Are you planning on using the wizard who engraved the circuit on that new sword?]

Ethan nodded. Illia was a wizard called the magician of crafting. Finding a production wizard beyond this level was difficult even for him who knew his past life.

[He is quite delicate for a human, but it would be difficult to engrave magic on Ardenheit.] [

So?]

[I will help you.]

[Are you saying you will engrave the circuit?]

[That’s right. Something that will work well for our people.]

[Why?]

[To hunt down the Iron Tyrant…]

[You know that’s not the question.] Even if

you call them the highest beings in the realm of speech, they are. As it is not lacking, even if it is Ardenheit, it will not be difficult to carve a magical circuit.

I knew that much.

However, the reason I asked the question was because I was curious about why the demon dragon was so willing to help him.

Besides….

[Why should I trust you and entrust the divine sword to you?]

[Would it be an answer if I said that the Duke and I could be quite good collaborators?]

[You could be the next Iron Tyrant.]

[Duke There are more dragons who have infiltrated the western continent than you might think. The order of the hunt will be up to the duke…]

The cult leader quietly raised his eyebrows and continued to whisper.

[I don’t necessarily want to recommend hitting me first.]

Should I call it confidence or arrogance? The leader’s voice was relaxed throughout.

[It would never be a loss-making proposition for the duke.]

Ethan thought for a moment.

If the function of the divine sword could be improved through the mana circuit, hunting dragons would become much easier.

Of course, there is a condition that you must not mess with the circuit.

[The Duke will have nothing to worry about. It takes a lot of effort, so I’m not trying to engrave it for free. So, are you willing to accept it?]

Carve a magical circuit into Ardenheit.

‘With Ilya’s skills…’

It was difficult. It was common sense that the higher the metal, the more difficult it was to engrave a circuit. Maybe Illya has reached the level of a transcendental person, but with her current skills, she will only be able to carve low-level circuits.

[What are the conditions?]

[In addition to the Iron Tyrant, please hunt one more dragon.]

[Which one are you talking about?]

[This is the one called the Dragon of Disaster among humans. In our terms… it’s a dragon called ‘Elondra’.]

Ellondra, the dragon of disaster.

He was the leader of the Destruction Dragon.

[At best, I don’t think it’s worth the cost of one circuit.]

[Haha. It would be a useful circuit. Besides, isn’t the purpose of the Duke’s work to exterminate the dragon race?]

It’s just something that has to be done anyway.

That was Ma Ryong’s argument.

In fact, it was not a strict proposal since there was no deadline for hunting down the dragon of disaster. However, I had no intention of rushing into the water.

[Decide based on performance.]

[Of course.]

The demon dragon nodded willingly.

[If you make a sword, I will come pick it up.]

The transaction is over.

The group, including him, crossed the gate. Only then did a strand of tension in Ethan’s heart dissipate.

‘Nothing happened this time.’

Compared to my previous life, where a terrible massacre worthy of being called a ‘blood death’ occurred, this life was different. The Continental Swordsmanship Tournament ended so peacefully that it could not have ended more peacefully. The result was somewhat bland considering that a demonic dragon with a level beyond the transcendental personally participated.

In front of the royal gate.

Delprion was there to meet us in person. As soon as they met, the king approached with a big smile on his face, patted Ethan on the shoulder and burst into laughter.

“haha! I heard the news. Not only did he win the swordsmanship competition, he got into a fight with the cult leader. It’s hard to guess just how far the duke’s skills are! “Thank you for brightening the kingdom’s honor.”

The corners of Delprion’s mouth went up so high that they could not go any higher. In recent years, invasions have decreased slightly, but just a few years ago, the Kingdom of Limedel was one of the countries that were anxious because they could not capture Heidern. It was still the same now. There was tension on the border between the two countries every day.

This has been especially true recently. Two transcendents who could not be left out when evaluating Heidern’s power.

There were widespread rumors that Duke Himos and Duke Gerond had died one after another, and the kingdom’s power had been completely diminished.

On the other hand, there was no way Limedell, which had preserved its power, would miss this opportunity. That is why there was tension at the border.

In such a situation, winning in a country that was virtually a hostile country not only flattened the arrogance of the team, but also implicitly warned them of their own potential.

A new transcendent has been born in Heidern. A transcendent of all time who is different from the existing transcendents.

In fact, it was the same as taking responsibility for national defense with just one competition. So Delprion had no choice but to smile brightly and welcome me.

“I only did what I had to do, Your Majesty.”

“haha. “If the royal knights heard that, they would have been in tears.”

The King, who seemed to be in a good mood and lightly joked back, looked at Ethan.

“Do you have any information about the cult leader?”

He seems curious.

It was worth it. Since the religious leader’s information is treated as confidential, it would be difficult for even the king of a country to know in detail about him.

Ethan looked at Delprion.

He was a saint who was praised by the people in his own way, and was one of the monarchs who had an aversion to the dragon race. Although it may be difficult to say that he was completely on Ethan’s side, he was a person who was capable of accompanying him to some extent. Because there were parts of his personality that matched Ethan’s.

“The leader is a dragon.”

“…is it?”

The king’s face hardened. Since the core doctrine of the church itself is to serve the dragon race, I thought it would naturally be related to the dragon race, but guessing and certainty were completely different words.

“I have an offer.”

“What kind of proposal do you mean?”

“The cult leader wants me to hunt other dragons.”

“…Are you saying there is a division between them?”

“It seemed that way.”

Delprion’s mind became complicated.

‘You want the duke to move?’

There must be a reason. One thing was certain: it was not bad news for the humans. No matter what gestures the dragons made, there was no way for them and humans to merge.

“So did you agree?”

“The conditions were good.”

“…Are you going to be okay?”

“It didn’t seem impossible. The church also confirmed that it would provide help. So, I plan to visit the Dwarf Kingdom sometime soon.”

“It’s a dwarf kingdom… I guess.”

Delprion nodded.

The story of Williams was still fresh in his memory. A dwarf who used to be a blacksmith in the kingdom and associated with the dragon tribe. After pushing him out and raising his power, he requested punishment from the Dwarven Kingdom, but…

‘It was no news.’

Considering that the dwarves’ attitude was close to hating the dragon race, it was a very strange thing.

Because it was something that a dwarf with a bad temper would yell at me to hit in the head with an axe.

“I guess there are dragon people there too.”

“That’s what the religious leader said.”

“…be careful.”

This was all the king could say. Although I wanted to stop him, it seemed like the duke had already made a deal with the religious leader. No matter how king he is, he cannot justly block the duke’s actions. This is especially true if it is a personal reason mixed with ‘transaction’ like now.

“of course. Could you possibly use the royal gate?”

“There’s no need to ask permission for that.”

“thank you.”

The place he was heading to was the Marquis of Bessus. Marquis Bloten was constantly investigating the Dwarven Kingdom.

Recently, he had been hitting the jackpot by concluding a series of deals with the Dwarf Kingdom together with Popolence.

There is probably no other person in Heidern who understands the inside circumstances of the Dwarven Kingdom as much as Marquis Blothen.

Before visiting, the first priority was to find out the basics of the Dwarven Kingdom.

I moved through the gate to the Marquis de Bloten.
