I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 145

#When I returned, the family was ruined (146)

Duke Himos, who was working in his office, looked somewhere blankly. A person wearing black robes was slowly walking out of an empty space.

“Are you the archbishop?”

“How is work going?”

“The grand plan is progressing smoothly. However, I think we need more wizards…”

“The first branch of the Capital Magic Association has collapsed. “I think it would be difficult for a high-ranking wizard to support me right now.”

Duke Himos was silent.

It was because I felt that things were messed up.

“…Are the Shadow Knights moving?”

“Captain and vice-captain. They say the two guys moved together. “I heard that Duke Ethan was also accompanied here.”

The Capital Magic Association was an organization that was making a great contribution to helping the Duke Agiles’ research. Since the most core branch has collapsed, the speed of research will be significantly slowed down. Naturally, I couldn’t help but wrinkle my face.

“Duke Ethan… he never leaves no matter where he goes.”

“Couldn’t the Seventh Street side put pressure on the duke?”

“…I think it will be difficult. The atmosphere of 7th Street has also changed a lot from the past.”

Education of later exponents.

It has been a long time since the two marquis, who had been neutral through that education, became part of the moderate faction, making it difficult to move as nimbly as in the past.

This was because the three families belonging to the radical faction were larger in power, but the numbers themselves were greater in the moderate faction.

The archbishop, who was staring at Himos, said.

“I guess I’ll have to see the Three Dukes. “Where are you?”

“This way.”

Duke Himos and Archbishop began moving deep underground.

5th floor of the dungeon.

Theron was imprisoned there.

“See you, matriarch.”

The warlock who was managing him bowed his head and greeted him politely.

“What is the current status?”

“Because of the large amount of drugs and emotional injections, he has almost lost his sense of humor. “The moment control is released, it will go crazy.”

“i get it. “Please leave for a while.”

“yes.”

The archbishop who remained inside the prison took something out of his arms.

“Are you planning on passing on the Kangryong style?”

“I think so. How is the research going?”

“I got the clue. That’s why I requested more support from wizards.”

“Hmm…”

The Archbishop nodded and administered the drug into Theron’s body.

It was a drug mixed with special medicinal ingredients that could prevent the burden when the physical body was being tolerated.

“Is it a different color than the one I got?”

“There is no need for this guy to live long. “It is a combination of other medicinal ingredients to raise the limits of Kangryongsik.”

“Right.”

Himos nodded.

The sole purpose of the Three Dukes was to oust temporary dukes.

After that, whether he died or got worse was none of his business.

“Even if you don’t have any sense, you can at least inject some phrases. “Please pass it on with this phrase.”

The Duke, who accepted the book handed to him by the Archbishop, nodded.

“I will. But… honestly, even if I learn the Strong Dragon Style, I don’t know if I can beat the duke.”

Although Theron, who had completely lost his wit, made the black flames more dense, it did not give him confidence that he could defeat the Duke. Wasn’t it known that he drew a draw with the Marquis Lionel? No matter how low a duke’s level was, he would have been close to a superman.

Even if Theron was strengthened, there were clearly limits. The archbishop nodded at those words.

Duke of Ethan.

His growth was not something that even the archbishop could easily ignore.

In order to completely overthrow him by exercising the right to challenge the Three Dukes, other measures were needed in addition to this.

“The Fall of Agiles. In addition to passing down the Kangryong style, I plan to utilize the church’s treasures.”

“What if it’s treasure…?”

“There is a Noble Phantasm that can give you enormous power instead of diminishing your life. “If you use everything, you will be able to temporarily reach the level of a transcendent.”

If you use your Noble Phantasm to that extent, even if you defeat your enemy, it will be difficult to survive even for a year.

There was no need to add an afterword.

“After all, it is a religious order. “I thought it would be possible.”

Only then did Himos nod his head in satisfaction. He is not a superhuman, but he can reach the level of a transcendent.

Superhuman and transcendent.

The difference was at most two letters, but the difference was so great that it could be described as an unreachable wall.

No matter how long Duke Ethan flies, it will be impossible for him to reach the level of a transcendent before he is even twenty.

“Kang Ryong-sik, please prepare your body and exhaustion thoroughly. “I will give you the Noble Phantasm on the day of the decisive battle.”

“I will do my best to prepare.”

Only by defeating the duke can the union of the seven families and the glory of the church be restored.

The two people’s eyes lit up.

* * *

Two weeks have already passed since the hellish training began.

Ethan looked at the heart in front of him.

‘The purification is finally over.’

The secret laboratory where Mileton was trapped. The purification of my heart that I received from the dragon I met there was completely completed. Thanks to the magical treatment to prevent corruption, the heart still maintained its pure color.

The enormous mana inherent within the body of a high-class dragon. Now that the purification was over, it was time to absorb that mana.

I put my hand inside my heart and pulled in the mana.

thud.

thud.

My heart, which had been stopped for a long time, began to beat once again as if it was letting out its last breath.

‘The amount is considerable.’

The quality and quantity of mana possessed by a high-level dragon was comparable to that of a top-level elixir. For Ethan, who was always struggling with mana, it was like a sweet rain during a drought. About ten minutes into mana absorption.

Crunch….

The heart slowly turned into powder and began to scatter. This was because all of the mana that had been used to maintain balance was sucked away.

‘Hmm.’

Ethan looked inside and smiled with satisfaction. This is because the amount of mana increased by approximately 20%.

Considering the investment of about 15 days, it could be said to be a significant amount of income. Mana was a type of resource that was difficult to gather quickly unless you drank elixirs.

Unfortunately, I could not use the heart of the bishop I met at the Capital Magic Association. Because he was half-human and half-dragon, he had a weak heart.

Still, there was a place to use it.

‘I sent it to Ilya.’

Didn’t he say he would study the bishop’s body in the elf village? If we had two research materials instead of one, we might be able to achieve something.

The body was treated to prevent it from decomposing and sent to Ilia, and the dragon’s skin was sent to Popforens. As it is an item with very strong strength, the plan was to manufacture it separately and use it as a defensive item.

‘Break time is over.’

As I was absorbing mana, quite a bit of time passed.

It was time for him to diligently move towards the training ground. Six late-stage exponents were seen sitting together and doing something.

Looking closely…

‘Card game?’

It was a card game.

The game was being played in groups of three, with one referee to watch the arbitration and two participants.

On the first day of training, I sat down on the floor during every break and was out of breath, but around the second week, I seemed to have some freedom, perhaps because my stamina had increased.

‘Hmm.’

Come to think of it, I heard a report from Sylvia a few days ago.

The story goes that the card game was easily established throughout the West as the Fractal Marquis began collaborating very actively with the duke.

‘After that, they said they would advance to the capital.’

It seemed to be affecting the students at the academy as well.

Ethan looked at the six review indices and the cards in turn.

Then he smiled quietly.

This was because a way to explosively increase the spread of card games while increasing the enthusiasm for training of late-stage players came to mind.

“Is it that much fun?”

“…!”

The review indices were quite surprised.

This was because the Duke had already come to their side. Soon Zeros raised his round glasses and asked.

“Is this a game made by a factory?”

“okay.”

While the duke was away for a while.

It was Zeros who happened to participate while watching Isera and Dorothy enjoying the game. The game quickly spread to six people.

‘This… isn’t just fun.’

Zeros recognized it at a glance.

The essence of the card game spread by the operative family was a change in perception.

‘Just looking at the duke’s card says it all.’

Duke of Ethan.

The card that marked him had higher health and attack power than any other card.

What will the kingdom’s citizens think when they see this?

It was obvious.

It would not end as a simple game, but one would automatically recognize the strength of craftsmanship.

‘Cultural invasion.’

The card game was not only about making money through goods, but also changing people’s perceptions and thoughts. What if this card game spreads throughout the kingdom?

Ardan will always be treated as a family higher than the 7th family.

Didn’t Sera Lee say that card games are already sensationally popular in the West, from children to adults who will be playing the main game in the future?

‘…Ardan will continue to make his name known.’

The duke was not a man who only knew how to use his strength. Not even half a year had passed since I became the head of the Ardan family, and I was laying out a plan that would last the rest of my life.

It was when Zeros began to tremble. Ethan said, picking up the card.

“We will replace future evaluations with this.”

“…yes?”

“Through the card, the level and strength of the members of the special class will be revealed.”

“Through the card? How on earth…?”

“We will find out when the format comes out. “Then, let’s proceed with today’s class.”

The duke ran forward, leaving behind meaningless words. The later index members who were tilting their heads began to run after him.

A week later.

“It’s been a while. “Nerian.”

“Yes, matriarch. How have you been?”

“Nothing happened.”

“This is the item the inspector asked me to deliver.”

“There was no need for the knight commander to come in person.”

Nerian answered with a grin.

“It was an item that needed to be received as soon as possible, so I decided to take charge of transporting it myself. “Take a look.”

When I opened the box, I saw a bundle of luxurious wrapping paper inside.

[Academy Special Pack]

The moment Ethan opened the cover, his eyes lit up.

‘Is this what a magic card is?’

I heard from Sylvia that Illya had developed a magic card, but this was my first time actually encountering it.

“It is a type of card where information is revealed through a ‘hologram’ inside every time you charge mana on the outside.”

“It’s okay. “Please tell Ilia that you did well.”

“Yes, matriarch. “Then let’s go back now.”

After Nerian left.

Ethan, who gathered the late exponents together, showed the card and said.

“If I grant mana here now.”

A phrase appeared on the outside of the flashing card.

[Information has been updated.]

“Huh?”

The reviewers who saw the magic card widened their eyes. This is because the top row of the card showed a nice picture of each review index, and all kinds of information was listed in the row below.

[Name: Dorothy Dustin]

[Physical ability: A+]

[Magic power: B]

[Comprehensive evaluation: A-]

[Details: The youngest daughter of Duke Dustin, a master of martial arts, and is characterized by a fist that delivers a blow like a mountain. I recently gained enlightenment and my overall abilities have increased significantly.]

“Oh my…”

The students swallowed their saliva at the sight of the flashy card.

“From now on, your ‘ability scores’ will be reflected in this card in real time. And on the last day of training, we plan to release cards with the reflected abilities.”

“…!”

The late index’s eyes sparkled.

“Through the card, the level and strength of the members of the special class will be revealed.”

This was because I immediately understood what the Duke had said last time.
