I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 52

#When I returned, my family was ruined (53)

Ilya swallowed her saliva and asked as Ethan looked at the equipment.

“Uh…how do you feel? This body is an item with circuits engraved to its best. First, take a look at the sword.”

Ethan raised the Nephrion greatsword. The principle of how the artifact was activated was simple.

When the caster’s mana flows through the engraved circuit, the magic built into it is activated.

It was the moment when fiery mana was put into it. The weight of the sword in my hand became much lighter.

‘It’s okay.’

If the previous greatsword weighed close to 7kg, the current weight is about half that.

“Have you made it lighter?”

“That’s right!”

Ilya, who had a strange voice because she was in a hurry to answer, hurriedly cleared her throat and spoke.

“Hmm! In addition to that, it was given the property of ‘repair’, which constantly removes rust and foreign substances from the sword, reinforced ‘cutting power’, and increased the ‘mana affinity’ of the metal itself. “I also engraved a formula to increase ‘fire resistance.’”

To sum it up in one word.

The story was that they took care of the sword so that it would always be in top condition even if it was handled carelessly.

“Hmm.”

Ilya flinched.

It was the result of mobilizing all of his production skills.

Even if you sell it on the market, you will be able to get more than ten times the original price.

It is a very well-chosen item. Nevertheless, Ethan’s expression was extremely subtle.

An ambiguous face that neither likes nor dislikes. Illya saw that and said hurriedly.

“Well…we added some great features to the gauntlets and greaves. That….”

“Repair and lightening. Increased intensity. Increased mana affinity. Increased fire resistance. “I don’t know what the last one is.”

At Ethan’s words, Ilya finally began to show a triumphant expression.

“Hmm! In fact, the first five are all just additional functions. “There is a separate circuit that can be called the real core.”

“What is it?”

“Last time I saw you using fire mana. Compared to the explosive energy it emits in an instant, the energy contained in the weapon is limited. Is that correct?”

Ethan nodded.

Pure flame without any negative emotions mixed in.

As we began to explore this area, the temperature of the fiery mana contained in the sword increased significantly. I was able to survive up to that point by using the Neprion greatsword.

however.

‘It will change after opening the Eight Rings.’

The Eight Pillars instantly liberate the potential within the body. The temperature flowing out at that time was such that even Neprion, which has a high elemental affinity, could not withstand it.

That was the reason why mana above a certain level was not put into the great sword every time the Eight Rings were opened.

If I were not careful, the blade could have melted.

“Hmm! As expected, my prediction was correct. So I tried engraving the circuit. Equip the great sword, gauntlets, and greaves together, then unleash your power to its limit.”

There must be a reason why he speaks so confidently.

After equipping the three pieces of equipment as Illia said, he liberated the Eight Rings.

“You can use the mana of fire up to your limit. “The blade will never melt.”

“okay?”

In an instant, an explosive amount of mana flowed out from the sword. Its length was easily over 3m.

The blazing heat spread out, but the appearance of the office was still the same. This is because Illya used mana to block the heat.

The moment I poured in as much mana as I could.

Ugh!

A delicate magic circle appeared above the three pieces of equipment.

Then, the fever of the sword blade, which had heated up like crazy, began to spread towards the gauntlet and greaves.

It was an amazing sight.

‘You carved a high-level magic circuit.’

This is so that the remaining two pieces of equipment can share the heat from the weapon and withstand the heat.

I thought I knew why Porforence’s eyes were dark. The magic circuit itself is very complex.

It could be said that both the wizard who made the circuit and the blacksmith who had to carve the circuit into the armor were suffering.

He must have worked overtime for two days because he already had to engrave numerous formulas on the hard mithril.

Ilya shouted loudly.

“What a masterpiece of my writing! This body is engraved with the circuit of the ‘high heat conduction technique’ developed by myself, so as long as I have this, no matter how much flame you can emit…”

Ilya’s voice, which had been speaking triumphantly, gradually started to get quieter as it went backwards. .

I thought that with this magic circuit, even the blunt archduke would be shocked with his eyes wide open.

So, just a moment ago, I was planning to brag about having engraved a truly amazing magic circuit.

However, Ethan’s expression was much more subtle than expected.

“Do you squirt?”

“You can use the sword as much as you like…”

“I see.”

The tone was too flat to be an expression of joy.

Ilya’s face quickly became glum.

“Is it… really that bad?”

no.

This was not a result that could be expressed to that degree at best.

‘the best.’

It could be said to be the best result, to the extent that the Archmage could call it a ‘masterpiece’.

Even if it entered the flowering stage, the great sword could sufficiently withstand the temperature.

However, the reason Ethan did not express it openly was simple.

If he had given too much praise already, the archmage’s nose could have risen to the sky.

It was a moment when he smiled meaningfully without answering.

“If you fail, absolutely! It is absolutely not this body’s fault! “It’s because that idiot couldn’t carve a satisfactory circuit!”

“Ah…no! What is that! “I really did my best… wow!”

“noisy! If your best is that far, you must be a truly useless blacksmith! “If the King of the Dwarves had been there as an assistant, we would have been able to produce the best results!”

Popolence was truly unfair.

Because I stayed up all day and night to ‘perfectly’ engrave the client’s circuit.

Is that it?

That strict wizard was so picky about each single blow of the hammer that the number of times he struck the three items exceeded hundreds of times.

“Hmm. This should be fine. “I’m sure even that picky guy will be satisfied.”

Surely, just a little while ago, he let me pass with a somewhat satisfied smile!

It was absolutely disgusting to see him now blaming everything on himself.

But all Popolence could say was ‘Ugh!’ Degree was everything.

Just as Porforens’ lips were trembling, Ilya’s pupils were also trembling mercilessly.

Ethan smiled and nodded.

“It’s okay.”

“Well… then…”

“I passed.”

Ilya’s eyes widened.

It felt so good that even the mana that had been blocking Porforens’ mouth was naturally released.

“Look! “I didn’t say this was a masterpiece that even the Grand Duke would be satisfied with!”

“joy! You’re just talking loudly about a topic you haven’t done anything about. “Did you boil and eat Hwatong?”

“You haven’t done anything! “Wow!”

“It’s noisy. “Remain quiet.”

Ilya, who had turned Porforens into pieces with just one look, looked at Ethan.

“Hmm! “Then you can continue to stay here, right?”

“Okay. Just don’t decorate the room too much.”

“…?”

A question mark appeared in Ilya’s eyes. Could it be that they are trying to treat me like a guest again? That was when her heart sank.

“I don’t plan on staying here for long.”

“Does this mean you are moving residence?”

“Probably so.”

After defeating Viscount Dekun, you will live in the Viscount’s inner quarters. At those words, Ilya seemed to remember something and asked with a smile.

“Then my help is…”

“No need. “Because I alone am enough.”

So, there was no reason to go around as an 8th circle wizard and spread the word about the neighborhood.

“…is it.”

At those words, Ilya lowered her head sullenly.

Everyone belonging to the territory was taking charge of their duties and working hard.

The same was true for Sylvia, who immediately guided him.

I don’t know why I’m so busy, but I’ve been working all day. It was the same for Elena, the Grand Duchess, and Frexian, the administrator.

But Ilya was different.

Perhaps because she was introduced as an invited guest from the Magic Tower, no one entrusted her with any work.

That’s why Ilya felt rewarded by taking on the work Ethan had asked her to do over the past two days. But now that work is completely finished.

‘What should I… do?’

It was a time when she was struggling.

“The task you will be in charge of is the improvement and development of products. It will be a task to directly implement the thoughts I have told you. Would you like to give it a try?”

“…huh!”

Ilya answered with bright eyes.

I didn’t know if I could blend in with them if I had a fixed job.

“Let’s make this.”

Ethan handed me a document.

If there are items whose manufacturing method is known, such as herbal potions, there are also items for which the manufacturing method is unknown but the approximate ingredients and efficacy are known.

Ilya’s job is to implement those items.

Ilya nodded after examining some of the ingredients and their efficacy.

“We will try to restore it as soon as possible!”

“okay. Good work.”

Ilya snorted and left the office with Porforens.

* * *

Two days have passed since Popforence produced the goods.

Meanwhile, the blacksmith and the merchant set off on a journey to the royal capital.

‘The seed has been sown.’

Ethan drew up the draft, and Sylvia coordinated the details one by one, drawing up a plan to advance to the royal capital. Now it was up to Marquis Bloten to decide what kind of results would come out of the royal capital.

I called Sylvia.

“Has this place been cleaned up neatly?”

“yes. Even if we take over Viscount Dekun, we are prepared to normalize it within a few days.”

“Are you ready?”

“The knights have already gathered.”

Author Dekun.

When moving towards this place this time, I planned to move with the knights.

This is because when you become a self-author, there are many eyes to see, so there are limits to simple information disruption.

The number of knights gathered this time was close to forty.

Baron Kargath.

And even Baron Romenton.

This is because the entire force of drivers was drawn from these two places.

Ethan and Sylvia, armed with the equipment they had acquired this time, got on the carriage. Forty knights guarded the area on horseback.

Commanding them was none other than Baron Kargath’s knight commander, Menhaton.

“Let’s go.”

“yes. “Everyone let’s go!”

The knights began to move towards Viscount Dekun.

Two days have passed.

It was possible to cross the border of Viscounty territory. From small towns to medium-sized cities that are practically the capital of a Viscounty territory.

Viscount Dekun owned a total of two cities.

The destination the party was heading to was Demorean, a medium-sized city that could be said to be the capital of the Viscounty.

After running diligently, I was able to come across a medium-sized city.

From the sky-high castle walls to the private soldiers defending them.

Clearly, medium-sized cities were on a different level from small-sized cities.

The knights approached the castle gate.

The sight of knights over 40 caused a commotion at the castle gate. Who on earth could visit and bring this many knights?

I was embarrassed for a moment.

The personnel on the castle wall widened their eyes when they saw the sign of the flag raised by the knights.

“Ah…Duchies of Ardan?”

Duke Ardan!

Flames embellished with gold thread were burning brightly between the flags.
