I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 239

＃When I returned, my family was ruined (240)

The mine I visited the Land of Fire last time. Anna came directly to that place. Muradni, who saw the girl, whispered to Ethan.

“…is he also a dragon?”

“yes.”

Recently, encountering dragons has become quite common. While Muradni sighed, Anna’s eyes turned to Ethan.

“It’s been a while, Duke. “Who is the dwarf next to me?”

“…Nice to meet you. “My name is Muradni.”

“If Muradni is the king?”

“That’s right.”

“Your beard is so cute.”

“….”

Muradni’s face turned red.

This is because in my entire life, it was the first time in my life that I heard people say that my beard, not my face, was cute. Moreover, the person who said such a thing was not a dwarf, but a dragon in human form, so it was inevitable that it would be absurd.

Meanwhile, Anna, who had easily sunk Muradni, spoke to Ethan.

“I heard the general outline of the process from the leader. “I heard that the King here will be assigned to act as a stand-in during the production period?”

“I plan to.”

“Are you okay? “The shadow will be right in front of you.”

shadow. Six, no… he was the one who moved the most secretly among the now five rulers. By now, you have most likely heard rumors of the Dwarven Kingdom. Maybe we could even visit inside the kingdom.

If it were a shadow, infiltrating the castle would be a piece of cake.

It was obvious that the band would be recognized immediately.

What next?

Most likely, we will be able to trace the king’s whereabouts. If you’re not careful, Ethan could get caught in the surveillance net. That was why Anna asked the question with concern. Ethan asked while laughing at those words.

“Even if I catch it, will it be a problem?”

Shadow and disaster.

Those two will most likely be thought of as the culprits who killed the tyrant. Unless you are a special case like yourself, it is nearly impossible for even a transcendental person to hunt down a ruler on his own.

In such a situation, even if he was pointed out as the mastermind behind the assassination in the Dwarf Kingdom…

‘I wouldn’t think of him as such a threat.’

From the outside perspective, he was just a young chick who had not yet become a transcendent.

Not only that, but with the help of the religious leader and the empire, it is assumed that several people, not a single person, were behind the killing of the tyrant.

It could have been dangerous if it were known that he had killed a tyrant with his own strength, but the situation was much different now. At most, he is just one of the party members who killed the tyrant, so he won’t consider himself a big threat.

Even if he comes to the kingdom and finds himself.

‘It’s not really a problem.’

There was only one problem. By any chance, the guy who was tracking the king’s whereabouts found Ethan and immediately attacked him.

But in Ethan’s opinion, it seemed extremely unlikely. Not only had not much time passed since the tyrant’s death, but Ameria was a kingdom located very close to the place where the tyrant died.

Unless the shadow is completely ignorant, it will probably think of the possibility of a trap. I’ll be leaving right now.

“I think you should actually worry.”

“I?”

“Does the shadow know you?”

“I know.”

“And that you are the leader’s henchman?”

“Isn’t our Duke being a bit harsh when it comes to being a spy? “Please call me a colleague.”

“Either that or that.”

“It’s a very different word?”

“So you know?”

“…I guess so.”

“Can’t you roughly guess what will come to mind when you see someone related to the cult leader with me?”

“That’s it… But it’s not a big deal.”

Anyway, they are probably thinking of the Demon Dragon as one of the masterminds.

There is no better candidate than the Church and the Empire as a force that can gather enough transcendents to kill the tyrant. Not only that, the church and the empire were organizations that got along very well with each other. Unless you’re an idiot, you can’t help but think that way.

We haven’t found any evidence that the demon dragon directly used his hand, but it’s more than enough to guess. Even Anna knew that much.

“Wouldn’t it be enough to just come up with a good excuse? “I have a lot to say anyway.”

Why did you visit the Kingdom of Ameria?

Since the tyrant was dead, he came to spread his religious beliefs during this time.

The church has no intention of causing conflict with a force that has the power to kill the tyrant. That’s why I met with Duke Ethan to negotiate.

There was a lot to say.

Regardless of whether the tyrant was defeated or not, the overriding goal of the dragon race was to take over the world of humans, and there were many ways to achieve that goal.

Anyway, one thing was certain.

Now that I think about it, I don’t think the Duke is anything to worry about.

There was nothing the shadow could do right now. What would you do even if you discovered the duke?

The three rulers, including Calamity, and the Demon Dragon did not have a friendly relationship.

The only reason they do not draw their swords is because they are tied to the same dragon clan.

That relationship also applied to Anna. In short, it meant that the moment the shadow and her encountered each other in a deserted place, there was a good chance that they would stab each other.

It was still the same now.

If I had encountered a shadow in this mine, it would never have been a good atmosphere.

In such a situation, you hit the duke who is accompanying her?

They are saying that they will fight it one-on-one.

The place itself was not good either.

This mine, which was sparsely populated, was obviously a place full of warships.

‘Even if I’m a shadow…’

I’d rather make plans for the future than play tricks here. That meant that the duke had secured his own safety. In other words, it was as if he had secured his own safety.

Perhaps the religious leader knew about this, so he dispatched him without making a big deal of it.

‘sifter. ‘Please let me know sooner.’

You were worried for no reason.

Anyway, he’s a sneaky nobleman.

Anna chewed the sect pole silently.

Thanks to this, the duke gave him a pitiful look, saying he didn’t know anything about the world.

“I’m just saying this just in case, but I already knew everything. “I checked because I was afraid they might not know, so please don’t make any strange misunderstandings.”

“okay.”

“…Do you really understand?”

“Consider it like that.”

It was uncomfortable, but I couldn’t help it. I can’t help but think I understand.

Is it unfortunate or fortunate?

Contrary to what I had feared, I could not feel the slightest hint of a shadow.

‘Have you given up on reconnaissance?’

Actually, if you think about it, it was like that.

To him, this place felt like the maw of a tiger. Considering its cunning nature, it would not have been necessary to infiltrate the kingdom. Because it will feel like a well-planned trap.

Even if we do reconnaissance, we’ll do it later.

I am finally beginning to understand the Duke’s overly calm appearance. Maybe he had expected it all up to this point.

* * *

The introduction to Anna was short.

When they told him that he was one of the cult leader’s henchmen, everyone seemed to understand the reason for accompanying him. From visiting the Land of Fire to moving to the Fire Palace with the help of the monarch.

The second visit went much faster than the first. In the process, there was only one person who expressed curiosity, Anna.

Like a cult leader visiting the Land of Fire for the first time, she stopped in her tracks at each new item. Of course, there was no reason for Ethan and the others to wait until then.

What the cult leader asked her to do was to accompany her to the Land of Fire, not to give her a tour.

“Ah… let’s go together!”

Fearing that he might get lost in an unknown place, he got scared every time his companions moved away and narrowed the distance between them. The Land of Fire was an unknown place that even she had never seen before, and she couldn’t be sure what would happen the moment she became lost.

To put it bluntly, isn’t it possible to guarantee that Ethan and the others will find him? Even though they had built up some kind of friendship, they still had an almost hostile relationship with the Yongin people.

Anna, who rushed to the duke’s side, grumbled.

“Just taking a look for a moment. “You’re so mean.”

“Then why don’t you come see it?”

“If that’s the case, please wait a little longer.”

“busy.”

He is truly a person with whom conversation is difficult. Anna sighed and clung to the group. I thought it would be better to observe the interior of the palace I was about to visit.

After arriving at the destination, production of the goods took place. This time, the palace tools were in Muradni’s hands, and perhaps thanks to that, the shape of the outer shell began to change rapidly.

Its shape was reminiscent of full plate armor that could protect the entire body. After the exterior work, which took three days, was completed, the process of engraving the circuit awaited.

The protagonist of this circuit production was Ilya.

Ilya stepped forward, swallowing nervously, and looked around. Soon, Ethan caught her gaze.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay there? “I’m not very confident…”

Although he witnessed the cult leader carving circuits into Ardenheit, that didn’t mean he could carve circuits well into that material.

Although he has reached the realm of the 9th level, the tyrant’s outer shell is the 10th level. It was a material that only a crafting wizard who had reached the level of transcendence could handle. In other words, it could be said to be a material comparable to Ardenheit.

This means that the level of material is too high to be handled at the level of the 9th level. Of course, I couldn’t help but worry.

Once a circuit is carved, it cannot be replaced again, so it can be seen as only halfway determining the performance of the finished product.

‘If I fail…’

I heard that the duke killed one of the rulers. As time passes, the eyes of the dragon race will inevitably focus on him.

A horde of increasingly stronger enemies to face in the future.

The Tyrant’s outer shell was the only item that could block their attacks.

In short, it was no different from asking for the duke’s life to be cut short. That was the reason why I couldn’t even show off my usual bravado.

Ethan gave a simple reply to her words.

“Just do as usual. And haven’t you done well so far?”

“Ugh…”

“Besides, it’s just an area I had to challenge anyway. “Even if you fail, I have no intention of blaming you, so you don’t have to feel that burden.”

You cannot receive support from your religious leader forever. To put it bluntly, wouldn’t it be a big deal if he even tampered with the goods?

I had no choice but to entrust the new sword to him, but from then on, I planned to entrust the production of items to Illya. For Ethan, Illya’s experience was more important than the outer material.

Perhaps because of the repeated encouragement, Ilya’s hands began to gain strength.

“…okay. “I’ll do my best.”

“That’s enough.”

Illya focused her eyes and spread mana around her armor.
