I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 62

#After returning, the family was ruined (63)

Chaiman looked at the Archduke in the crystal ball.

Why did he contact me?

And that was with Count Irdan included.

It was then.

―You’re planning to hold a seniors’ meeting, right?

the archduke asked.

Irdan asked back with his eyebrows twitching.

―…How did you know?

-There are many eyes and ears in the world.

―….

―I am also planning to attend the meeting.

Cheyman’s eyes lit up.

The place where the council of elders was held was within one’s own faction.

For the Grand Duke, it is a place like the maw of a tiger.

Yet you said you would participate without a moment of hesitation.

‘You’ve really changed a lot.’

When I was young, I always had a stern face and was unable to hide my urgency when getting things done.

But now it was completely different.

A relaxed smile appears on your lips.

Plus, the arrogant look in his eyes as if he didn’t even care about a count-level noble.

In terms of momentum alone, it has literally become like an absolute being.

okay.

Only a person of that caliber can topple his rivals.

Meanwhile, Irdan strongly refuted.

-The Archduke has no authority! The council of elders consists of only the 10 collateral families…

– Hmm. Can you say that even after looking at this document?

The Archduke unfolded a document and held it up. Four families that have been occupied so far.

It was a document that stamped the seal of the next head of the family elected there.

-These are the people who have the authority to participate in the council of elders. is not it?

The content written in the document was simple.

Because there was a statement written that the archduke would be appointed as the representative of the recently declared Southern Confederacy and that everything would follow his judgment. It was said that he would be entrusted with acting authority.

‘Hmm.’

Chayman smiled faintly, almost invisible. I felt like I knew his purpose.

Edict issued by the Confederacy.

There was information about taxes and the ideology of the dragon clan written there. He himself was complying with the edict.

But what about Irdan?

The high taxes of that faction are still the same. What would the archduke who participated in the meeting argue?

‘The first thing they will do is try to swing the iron in the area of taxes.’

Of course, the first to be hit by the swinging mace would be Irdan.

There was no reason to oppose participation. Because the fight will break out on its own. Chaiman said while looking at the Archduke.

“Grand Duke, can you give me a moment? “We also need some time to talk.”

-Give me one hour. If there is anyone who refuses, I understand that this means that they will be completely hostile to me.

Tuk.

Contact with the crystal sphere has been lost.

-Such an arrogant bastard!

“Calm down, Count.”

―…What do you plan to do?

Cheyman said quickly.

“I agree.”

―…What are you planning?

“What are you doing?”

Irdan gritted his teeth at the leisurely answer. There was one piece of news that reached his ears recently.

It was news that the youngest Confucius had entrusted himself to Cheyman.

It means that one heir to the dukedom has been secured.

This meant a lot.

Because it meant that, in any case, one could calmly wait for the future.

On the other hand, what about yourself?

There was nothing to prepare for the future.

“The Count may object. Anyway, I don’t agree with anything.”

– Okay!

Irdan gritted his teeth at Cheyman’s leisurely answer.

Only one person here opposes?

This is nothing more than a call for blatant confrontation with the Confederacy.

In this case, Irdan had no choice but to give a definite answer.

―…Good. Let’s agree on this too.

The two talked for a while.

The archduke was informed of his consent to attend.

It was the moment when the lights in the crystal ball went completely dark. Chayman asked, calling Hans.

“Have you found out anything about the miscellaneous things wandering around my territory?”

“I’m sorry, Count. “Because their movements are so secret… we haven’t been able to catch them yet.”

Chayman nodded quietly. It wasn’t a disappointing answer. Because not only Hans but the others were unable to catch their tail.

That’s how secretly they were moving.

‘That’s fun.’

Today, we can be certain with the Archduke’s contact.

There is a high possibility that those who are currently stealing information from his territory are his liars.

Otherwise, there would be no way for information about the elders’ meeting to leak out.

‘It’s not top secret information, though.’

It was one of the pieces of information that was managed secretly.

Who is controlling these bats?

‘Are you an archduke? Or…’

Chaiman, who was thinking deeply, looked at Hans.

“How is the youngest Confucius these days?”

“The black flame is stabilizing little by little.”

He nodded in satisfaction. Even Chayman recognized the Archduke’s strength and talent.

‘but.’

A more important factor was that all previous dukes had black flames.

Irdan and the Grand Duke.

The best conclusion would be for the two to destroy themselves, but even if that didn’t work, they could still take power by using Myers.

He said while looking at Hans.

“I will open the elixir storage, so take the intermediate elixir. “Take special care of the youngest Confucius so that he can continue his training.”

“thank you!”

Hans lowered his head and carefully walked out of the office.

He brightened his eyes.

Chayman was also an aristocrat who was smart in his own way.

but.

‘Well, it doesn’t work for Lawrence.’

From managing and gathering information to coming up with a plan.

In Hans’ opinion, Lawrence was several steps higher than Chayman.

So, you’re probably pulling out information like you’re looking into the palm of your hand.

Anyway, it was the first time I obtained an intermediate level elixir instead of a low level elixir.

It was an item of considerable value.

This would mean that Cheyman’s trust has increased significantly compared to before.

Hans moved towards Myers’ residence with light steps.

* * *

Three days have passed.

The two counts eventually raised the white flag.

Because I gave official consent to attend the elders’ meeting.

There were only about ten days left until the meeting.

Meanwhile, Ethan was summarizing the dragon skills and tricks he had received from Marquis Bloten.

In particular, there was a lot of information about the Destruction Dragon.

‘The standard is high.’

A technique that contains the Destruction Dragon’s strength, Paedo. The level was quite high. It was enough to blend in with the family’s advanced swordsmanship.

‘Fortunately, there is a breathing method that is just right.’

Swordsmanship is only half effective if there is no breathing technique to support it.

However, Ethan already had a breathing method that combined the techniques of the dragon tribe.

Thanks to this, I was able to easily create sword techniques based on breathing techniques.

Ethan looked at the book in front of him.

[Dragon Slayer Sword Type 2]

It is a book with a simple title.

However, the content was not simple. Because it was a sword law book that contained the techniques of much higher elevation than the first type of dragon slayer sword that was demonstrated to the knights last time.

Ethan called Paulton.

“Take it.”

“This is…”

“This is an item requested by His Excellency the Marquis.”

“…!”

Paulton looked surprised.

It has only been two days since the secrets of the dragon clan were taught.

‘In just that amount of time….’

You created a sword technique that combines the techniques of a superior?

It would have been difficult for even those who were called transcendents to produce results in just two days.

I couldn’t believe it.

“…Can I check it out?”

“Anyway.”

Ethan readily agreed.

Paulton hastily opened the swordsmanship book.

After reading the first sentence.

He began reading books frantically. Every time I read each line, it felt like a lightning bolt of enlightenment was coming to me.

‘…was it possible to use the sword like this?’

It was a shock.

Harmony and balance.

The most core foundation of swordsmanship was the secret to the rise of a duke’s family.

Sophisticated and stable swordsmanship.

‘…But at the same time, he did not lose his sharp offensive ability.’

It was a swordsmanship book that kindly included pictures of posture.

The sharp attack style taken from time to time proved that this sword technique was mixed with the skills of the dragon tribe.

Paulton swallowed.

If you meet someone who uses this sword technique, will you be able to easily respond?

It wasn’t.

It was obvious that my hands and feet would become dizzy. Then you will taste the bitter taste of defeat.

Paulton realized.

This is a swordsmanship that is several levels more precise, balanced, and sharp than the swordsmanship I learned at Marquis.

It wasn’t just high-level swordsmanship that was written in the book. Because there was even a breathing technique written just for it.

Paulton, who had read the entire book, closed his eyes.

The moment of enlightenment was coming. Ethan saw that and lowered his breathing.

Because as a fellow knight, I fully understood how important the opportunity Paulton now faced was.

About two hours had passed.

Paulton’s eyes lit up.

He looked around with sparkling eyes and looked at the Archduke.

Power and mana overflowing throughout the body.

7-star knight.

There was no doubt that he had reached the high level of being called a great knight.

He bowed his head politely.

“…Grand Duke. thank you “How should I repay this favor?”

“What is grace?”

Ethan answered casually.

Paulton was a knight with a firm grip on the basics. The reason he achieved enlightenment was probably because of his solid fundamentals.

It is nothing more than getting what you will get someday a little faster.

Paulton’s eyes sparkled at those words.

“…no. If it weren’t for the swordsmanship book containing the Grand Duke’s enlightenment, I would have probably wandered in this state for a long time. “I will definitely repay this favor someday.”

“Hmm.”

Ethan smiled as if it was fun and nodded to Paulton.

“Then let’s have a round of sparring.”

The opportunity to face a 7-star knight is rare. This was especially true if it was a proper article.

“yes!”

Paulton nodded vigorously.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

There were only two days left until the elders’ meeting.

In the meantime, Ethan spent time training with Paulton and the Dragon Slayer.

Perhaps because of the swordsmanship and breathing techniques that contained the secrets of ascension, the knights’ growth rate was dazzling.

It was a great opportunity for Ethan too.

Because I was able to fully embody the second type of Dragon Slaying Sword while sparring with the knights. You may be able to use this later.

The knights and carriages were already waiting outside.

Council of elders.

These people were prepared by Sylvia for the reason that they were participating in an official meeting and could not be negligent in the ceremony as they were moving into enemy territory.

Dragon Slayer.

The equipment they wore was all black.

This is the first color that comes to mind when you think of Ardan’s name. All equipment was dyed in that color.

Thanks to Ilya, the dyeing process didn’t take long.

The knights wearing black gear looked like black knights from novels.

‘It’s okay.’

Sylvia, who was waiting in front of the carriage, guided Ethan. Soon the two people got on the carriage.

“Let’s go.”

Dragonslayer.

Red letters written between black flags swayed in the wind.

Elites selected from among the nearly 120 members of the Dragon Slayer.

That number alone was close to thirty. They all kicked their horses.
