I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 215

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (216)

A late night.

Ethan, who was trying to sleep in his room, opened his eyes. Although I woke up after not being able to fall asleep for a while, I didn’t feel dizzy. The body of the transcendental person was durable enough to remain intact even if he could not sleep for several days.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you don’t have to sleep at all. So, he was sleeping.

A voice was heard through the pitch-black darkness.

“The question has been answered.”

“…Do you really have to come tell me that now?”

“Because it’s urgent.”

“…So what is the answer?”

“First things first. “The cult leader said that Muradni is someone who does not follow the dragon clan.”

“Are you sure?”

“They said he was one of the dwarves who most actively blocked the cult when it tried to advance. And… they say the antagonism between Muradni and the council has been getting worse lately.”

“Antagonism?”

“Twelve hammers. Among them, nearly half of the warchiefs are on the side of the dragon clan. Well, strictly speaking, you could say that he is a servant of the Iron Tyrant.”

A decision-making body of twelve warchiefs. If more than half of the members of the Kingdom Council voted in favor, even the king could be removed from his position.

“Why is the antagonism getting worse?”

“It seems like metal dragons have a knack for moving secretly. Take a look. “They say it’s one of the agenda items raised by the council this time.”

Anna handed over some documents.

[Symbiosis Act Proposal]

1-1. A rapid tectonic shift in human society.

1-2. The need for symbiotic relationships.

1-3. change of perception.

1-4. Benefits of togetherness.

Symbiosis law.

In short, it was a bill that dealt with the symbiosis of metal dragons and dwarves.

‘…You’re hitting a goal.’

The key point was simple.

Look.

Humans also went through war with the dragon race.

But what about now?

It’s not enough to believe in a religion that praises the dragon race, but isn’t it endlessly growing in strength by interacting with them?

The number of people called transcendents has increased incomparably compared to ten years ago. This is an advantage gained through a symbiotic relationship with the dragon race.

But what about us dwarves?

They have a closed-minded view on cultural and technological exchange simply because of their hatred for the dragon race, and thanks to this, the gap in power between them and humans is only increasing with no end in sight.

How long will we be consumed by hatred and not face reality?

Remember.

That humans are not a good species.

Clearly, they also have a history of using dwarves as slaves.

Nevertheless, aren’t we cooperating with humans?

We must not forget that many of our compatriots are still sweating in the human kingdom for the money needed for revival.

A wealthy nation and strong military.

Sacrifice of a cow for the greater good.

We must not forget that our actions have already entered this orbit.

Cooperation with the dragon tribe ends up being the same thing. Actively accepting the culture of the dragon race and using mysterious materials to increase the power of the kingdom… (omitted)

―

Centador, Hammer of Fire, who proposed the bill.

Earth Shield Ocenta.

Rock Guardian Domain.

‘It’s pretty good.’

The dwarves who proposed the law of symbiosis were citing humans as an example of coexistence with the dragon race.

It wasn’t a completely wrong tone.

Especially when it comes to claiming that humans are not a good species.

‘It certainly was.’

It was like that in my past life too. Because dwarves were one of the most expensive slaves. They are stronger and can be used longer than humans, and their blacksmithing skills are so advanced that they cannot even be compared.

Whether the purpose is war or defense.

They are a race that the kingdom, which must produce weapons and increase its national power, cannot help but drool over.

Moreover, at that time, the dwarves had a point organization-like structure consisting of tribes without even a kingdom. This means that using dwarves as slaves did not have much to worry about politically, diplomatically, or militarily.

Because dealing with a kingdom with all its power concentrated in one place and dealing with scattered tribes were on a different level of difficulty.

Slavery was definitely one of the most prevalent institutions. Of course, some kingdoms banned it as a policy, but…

‘I was half-blind and silent.’

In the first place, the institution of slavery itself did not have much activity in sunny areas. Most of the time, it was just a structure that was utilized after one cycle in a shaded area.

It was certainly not a completely wrong argument. However, this did not mean that I agreed to collude with the dragon clan. Ethan put down the documents and looked at Anna.

“Are you saying they want to show up in the sun?”

“Well, to be exact, it’s the brisket of the Dwarven Kingdom… but that’s the gist.”

Metal dragon.

It was not difficult to guess their intentions. The Kingdom of Ameria was a country where dwarves gathered, and its territory was located underground.

The basement is a treasure trove of metal.

Since the dwarves and dragon people are no different from the enemies of the enemy, they probably absorbed metal from places such as hidden mines that were not revealed to general dwarves…

‘I guess they don’t want to move like that anymore.’

As long as you can operate in a sunny location, it will not be difficult to enter the enormous number of mines that the Dwarven Kingdom has. For a metal dragon, this would be a truly heavenly situation.

‘For humans… it wouldn’t be a very pleasant situation.’

What does this bill mean? In the end, in order to attract the dragon clan, it was no different from strongly asserting that the human race could not be trusted.

It would be difficult if the dwarf turned around.

“So what’s the mood on the bill? “Is it likely to pass?”

“About six to four. The one opposing it is the company. I’m sure it will pass anyway. “If you oppose it, even the king will be pushed out of his seat.”

“We don’t have much time.”

“Isn’t that why this body is busy moving?”

“I heard the first answer. So what is the answer to the second question?”

“In the end, wouldn’t it be enough if the mastermind was identified as a human being?”

That is correct.

Instead of Ardan’s descendants, an unknown human killed the Iron Tyrant. If I could fool their eyes just to this extent, it would be perfect.

“so?”

“First of all, let’s start with this. “If we tell you the location of the Iron Tyrant, how do you plan to hunt it down?”

“Are there many minions around this guy?”

“no. He has a very arrogant personality. Besides, since this body is going to be gently scratched, most people will be preoccupied with this. “Probably not much?”

“I am planning a secret visit to the kingdom.”

“Secretly?”

“After confronting King Muradni and asking him to smelt Ardenheit… I will attack the Iron Tyrant as soon as the new sword is created.”

“Hmm. alone?”

“You are not alone. But I don’t think there will be more than three.”

but.

Not only did the stampede not seem to match the people in front of them, but secrecy was crucial in this case.

If it were known that the Duke had visited the Dwarf Kingdom, he would inevitably be considered one of the candidates for killing the Iron Tyrant. It was difficult to alert other rulers.

If I made a mistake, I had no choice but to blow up the duke’s card without even being able to use it properly. If you are going to do as he said, it would be right to move as few as possible.

“In the meantime, I think you guys will have to take care of tricking the council and other high-ranking nobles. “I think we should meet with the king as secretly as possible.”

“good. I’ll help you as much as I can. “If you’re going to move like that, tricking the eye after killing the Iron Tyrant will be a lot easier than you think.”

“How are you going to fool me?”

“I created a new organization. “I plan to utilize that.”

“organization?”

“okay.”

“…Is this a place with that much power?”

“well. No matter what, it just has to look plausible, right? “It’s not a matter of whether or not you can actually kill them, it’s just a matter of instilling suspicion that you might be able to kill them, right?”

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

The fact that there is a worthy organization behind the killing of the Iron Tyrant means that the power of that organization is that great.

Wouldn’t it be acceptable to kill a ruler-level dragon only if it was a group that had at least a seemingly strong power?

The first thing that came to mind were the archbishops belonging to the denomination.

If all the Archbishop-level personnel gathered together, hunting down the Iron Tyrant would not be impossible.

However, as Anna said, using the religious order is foolish.

‘It means the cult leader has more hands and feet.’

Not only is it an organization so powerful that it doesn’t seem strange at all even if it hunts down the Iron Tyrant, but there is also a third organization that appears to have nothing to do with the cult leader.

I didn’t even know what it was.

However, since we found out that such an organization exists, it should not be difficult to find out.

“Is there a force planted in the Kingdom of Ameria?”

“There are none.”

“Is it enough to reach the king?”

“With a little effort.”

“Please wait a moment.”

He sat down at his desk and took out a soft piece of paper. The content was briefly written down for a while. He sealed the paper in a letter and handed it to Anna.

“Please tell this to Muradni.”

“Hmm. Do you mind if I inspect it? “Because we are one team now.”

“as you please.”

The letter did not contain anything important. All it said was that, as the head of the Ardan family, there was something important to share about this bill.

It was natural not to write down important information since the dragon in front of him could spy on the contents of the letter. Anna pouted her lips when she saw Ethan answering casually.

“It’s not fun either.”

“Who has anything to say?”

“It will probably take about a week.”

“I will move to the Kingdom of Ameria first.”

“Anyway.”

The conversation is over.

* * *

Muradni Ameria I.

The king of the dwarves and one of the greatest blacksmiths of this era.

After finishing his work and returning to his room, he found a letter in his pocket.

It was when Muradni took off his clothes that he noticed it.

“…?”

A letter in my pocket.

It could be said to be a trivial matter, but the first thing he felt was eerie.

“What…?”

The throne room of the kingdom, the king’s office.

And even the room assigned to the king.

This was the route he took today. Naturally, whenever the king came, the ‘Guard Goat Knights’, who were called the most outstanding knights among the dwarves, were assigned to him. If someone had been manipulating something in their pocket, the knights would not have stayed still.

That means…

‘No one noticed?’

Until a letter entered the king’s pocket. Numerous ministers, council members and even knights.

No one noticed.

What if this wasn’t a bag but poison?

It was as if he had already died. Because I know its meaning, I can’t help but be horrified.

‘…If they were going to assassinate me, they would have done it a long time ago.’

He coolly returned his thoughts and opened the letter.

Soon he opened his eyes.

I think we will definitely be able to share interesting stories. Would you like to meet me sometime?

We’ll be waiting for you at the Amenton Mine in the capital.

It was impossible to recognize the seal stamped at the bottom. A seal with a blazing, almost golden flame.
