I Regressed to My Ruined Family Chapter 98

＃After returning, the family was ruined (99)

After absorbing the black society.

I contacted Sylvia through the crystal ball.

“It absorbed the black society. Since the story is over, all we have to do is send the personnel and organize under the black moon.”

-yes. We will send personnel soon. Oh my duke. I have something to tell you.

“what?”

―I received a call from Fractal Marquis.

“From Fractal Marquis?”

Ethan tilted his head.

It is one of the kingdom’s seven families and is renowned as a renowned spirit family.

Among the seven families, it was the only one located in the west.

Geographically, it was the closest family to the dukedom among the seven families.

“The reason is?”

―The Marquess requested a meeting with the Duke in person. It didn’t say anything about its purpose. However… it seemed like they wanted to hold the meeting in secret.

What kind of plan is this?

Ethan thought for a moment and nodded.

Fractal Marquis.

This family was one of the families that held the Eight Hwans.

In any case, it means that this is a family that must be encountered at least once.

If that’s the case.

“Please reply that you will contact me about that later.”

-All right.

There was no need to refuse the meeting.

“How are the two counties doing these days?”

County of Pernes and County of Amelton. Administrators who had made a name for themselves in their previous lives had been sent to the two territories. It wasn’t old yet, but by now it was time to stretch out.

-It was interesting. This was especially true for Administrator Gailen.

“what?”

―Didn’t he clearly say that he would create a city of culture and pleasure centered around the big city of Hermes?

“It did.”

―He brought and showed me a few items that he said were necessary…

There was a rare, faint smile on Sylvia’s lips reflected in the crystal ball.

‘Was the result good?’

That was when Ethan tilted his head.

―I would like the Duke to check this for himself. It’s quite… interesting, and it’s an item with a structure that’s a bit complicated to simply explain in words.

It’s something that Sylvia would find so interesting.

At least it wasn’t a useless item. Curiosity arose in Ethan’s mind.

“Of course. “I will stop by the County of Pernes on the way.”

-yes. I’m sure the Duke will be interested. A dragon slayer team was sent to the elf side. The migration will probably be over within a month.

It was quick action.

“okay. Good luck.”

-yes. If there are any special issues, we will contact you separately.

That’s how communication was cut off.

It was the moment I returned to the room assigned to me by the black socialist. Ilya, who was putting a dragon fruit into the bubbling liquid, looked in this direction and asked.

“Did the work end well?”

“Roughly.”

“More than 90% of the maturation of the young fruit has been completed. “This is the result.”

Illia took out the dragon fruit from the boiling liquid and handed it to Ethan.

Ethan’s eyes lit up when he saw that.

three days ago.

I remembered the time I got Yongringwa.

It was Ilia who stopped Ethan, who was about to eat the fruit right away.

“Because it is not yet ripe, if you eat it as is, you will not be able to see its full benefits. “If you leave it to me, I will have it mature to at least 90% within the near future.”

I entrusted you with the English department because you spoke confidently.

The result was much more satisfying than expected. In just three days, the unripe fruit was properly ripened to the point where it could be considered almost finished fruit.

‘It’s okay.’

As the maturity level was increased from 70% to 90%, more mana could be obtained when consumed.

“How do you feel?”

“That’s great.”

“Hmm! To amplify the effects of this fruit called Yonglingwa, I used many of the precious ingredients I had gathered. Of course it can’t help but be good.”

“thanks.”

“…huh?”

“Thank you.”

Illia, the magician of crafting.

If it weren’t for her, I would have had no choice but to eat unripe Yonglingwa. Of course, it was much better to consume fruit that was close to perfection.

‘I think I can replenish my mana properly.’

What Ethan was currently lacking was the amount of mana.

Yongrin, which is nearly 90% completed, will be able to make up for his shortcomings.

Pure, selfless help.

Ethan was not shameless enough to go barefoot even after receiving this kind of help.

“If you need anything, please let me know at any time.”

“Will you give me anything?”

Ilya’s eyes sparkled.

For some reason, I felt like I shouldn’t have answered yes to that answer.

“…if it’s something I can do.”

“Hmm. “I will think seriously about what to ask for.”

“Anyway. “I will be absorbing it, so don’t disturb me.”

“…I know that much.”

Ethan bit into the fruit without hesitation. Red juice burst out with a crunching sound.

Soon, mana swirled inside. The mana inherent in Yongringwa was full of evil energy.

Since it was the fruit of a tree that grew by absorbing all the surrounding ley lines, it was strange that its energy was biased toward purity.

If an ordinary person or a knight ate it, they could have been eaten by this strange energy.

To Ethan, it didn’t really matter. Didn’t they immediately burn that strange tree with white flame?

Already, pure white fire was forming little by little in the essence of fire in his body.

At best, it was impossible for Yongrin’s energy to withstand Baekyeom.

The energy of the fruit slowly began to purify. While sitting cross-legged, I slowly summoned mana.

‘There’s no need to make a hasty decision.’

Simply increasing mana did not mean that the level would increase.

This was especially true at the stage of understanding, which is the area where one explores the source of fire and realizes its essence.

At this stage, it was important to continue mental training and strengthen one’s mental strength.

If you train your mental power like that, you will be able to gain maximum momentum when you enter the next stage, the stage of enlightenment.

Imagining pure white white flame.

He gradually added the properties of fire to his purified mana.

Around the time I absorbed all of Yongrin’s energy.

He was in a trance and opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was Ilya sitting near him.

Looking at the mana curtain around me, it looked like it was standing guard while I was meditating.

“How long has it been?”

“Two days. “I thought I was going to die of exhaustion.”

Even as an archmage, it was impossible to not sleep at all.

There were bound to be limits to relieving mental fatigue through magic.

Maybe that’s why Ilya’s eyes turned red.

“Good job. “Let’s take a nap.”

“This body is very tired. So don’t wake me up.”

Ilya immediately fell down on the bed. That too for a while.

Snoring…

Snoring….

He was seen falling asleep with a unique snoring sound. Ethan chuckled and examined the body.

‘The amount of white salt has increased significantly.’

Perhaps thanks to absorbing the energy of Yongrin and generating white flame, it seemed to have increased by almost three times the amount it had before.

Since white flame itself is a type of mana mixed with fire, it also meant that the amount of mana that Ethan possessed also increased significantly.

‘This is the level of a 7-star expert.’

nineteen.

In his previous life, he was a seven-star knight.

Ethan was confident when he objectively analyzed his strength.

Now, he has completely surpassed the level he had in the past at the same age.

7 months since I returned.

In less than a year, he went from being an incompetent person with no mana to surpassing his previous life.

Even if you think about it, the growth rate was astoundingly fast.

Of course, I had no intention of being satisfied with this much.

‘Because this is just the beginning.’

Kingdom 7th Street.

And even the religious order and the Yongin tribe.

There were so many enemies he had to deal with. Ethan closed his eyes and continued meditating quietly.

* * *

When I left the big city of Carmen and traveled by carriage for about a week.

I was able to arrive at Hermes, a large city in the County of Pernes.

Gaylan, the administrator in charge of this place, seemed to have been contacted by Sylvia in advance, and greeted Ethan at the entrance.

“See you, His Excellency the Duke.”

“Is the work worth doing?”

“yes. The joy of creating a city with my own hands was much greater than I expected. Thanks to the first round of support, we were able to establish a basic foundation within the city. Would you like to take a look?”

Following Gailen’s guidance, Ilia and Ethan entered the city.

Much of the landscape of Hermes had changed from before.

The biggest change was the performances of traveling theater companies that appeared throughout the streets.

City residents gathered in groups of twos and threes to watch their performance.

The content of the performance was simple.

as soon as.

[Duke Ethan’s ‘Awakening’]

Because it was a story about his whereabouts. Ilya pulled Ethan’s waist.

“why.”

“that. “I miss you.”

“….”

For some reason, I felt like I shouldn’t look at that stage. However, Ilia’s words could not be ignored.

Didn’t I eat Yongringwa thanks to her just a few days ago?

furthermore.

“haha. It’ll be really fun. I personally participated in the script work for this play. We tried to explain the Duke’s legendary ‘achievements’ as easily as possible. “Why don’t you take a look?”

I had to check at least once since the administrator next to me, Gaelen, was also helping me.

“Just a moment.”

“good night.”

I don’t know when the chair was brought in, but the soldiers standing behind Gaelan had already taken the chair. Three people sat on chairs.

Soon the stage went dark and voices were heard.

―Beros Village. They were suffering from the vicious organization ‘Red Scorpions’ that collected protection fees.

Actors dressed up as gangsters came rushing out onto the stage.

―Inside the Golden Tavern.

Clink!

-Liquor bottles were broken everywhere and a girl’s screams rang out.

-Aaaah!

“Hehe. Who would dare touch our ‘Red Scorpion’?”

“Let’s drink and have fun! “I stole a lot of money from the village guys again today!”

-Right then. Ethan, who was the archduke at the time, appeared. Heaven and earth trembled at the sound of his footsteps.

‘…huh?’

Soon, an actor dressed in old-fashioned clothing came up on stage. Surprisingly, the actor was one of the knights in the dragon slayer group.

“Um…who is he?”

“Seo… really? Are you saying that this is the Archduke who was known to have not only fallen ten years ago but also had his mana hole completely shattered? But how can you be so fine…?”

-That can’t be possible. The gangsters thought as they looked at the Archduke. however.

“Are you the ‘Red Scorpions’ who are infamous in Beros Village? It’s me Ethan! “I will no longer tolerate your evil deeds!”

“Tsk! “Get it done!”

“My fist will judge you!”

The knight raised his fist.

Immediately, a fire burned brightly above my fist.

I could tell at a glance.

What rose from the knight’s fist was not real flame.

Maybe it’s an illusion magic that makes it look like fire is burning brightly.

He had done something mischievous with his fist.

“Look! This may be the Duke’s ‘Fire Mana’!”

Soon, a colorful cluster of lights illuminated the actor.

“What…what! “How can you utilize mana!”

“You can’t use mana unless it’s a talent given by God! This is impossible unless it is the talent of the first duke, something that only exists in legends! So it’s just a trick! “Everyone rush in!”

“Ha!”

puck!

puck!

With the sound of leather popping, actors dressed as gangsters flew in all directions.

It was an amazing performance.

“Wow! “Mana of fire!”

“mom. “Is that the duke?”

“okay. “It’s the duke!”

“Duke, get some sun!”

Goosebumps appeared on Ethan’s back as he listened to the residents’ conversation.

‘…oh my god.’

Exaggeration and embellishment.

Because the scene we see now was one that squeezed these two elements to the limit.

If you just look at the facts right now, it was like that. In fact, when I beat up the gangsters at that time, I couldn’t even handle the mana of fire.

Moreover, the reason I beat up those guys was to get my drunken brother out, not because I couldn’t stand seeing their evil deeds.

‘….’

Just watching the play now is amazing, but what’s even more surprising.

Ilya, who was sitting right next to me, started concentrating on the play along with the audience with his eyes shining brightly.

Gaelen, who was looking at Ilia with a happy smile, quietly whispered to Ethan.

“How is it? We decided to directly spread the Duke’s legendary achievements through traveling theater companies. The theater companies readily agreed. If you look over there, you will see a halo of light, but that is because they have hired wizards who are excellent at light-type magic…” “

…How many times a day is this kind of play taking place?”

“There are so many. “Look at this.”

…. ”

Ethan was speechless.
