I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 216

#When I returned, my family was ruined (217)

“Do you really think it will come?”

“Maybe he won’t come. “If it’s urgent, it’s probably the same for you.”

Ilya answered those words with a sigh.

“Isn’t the content of the letter too meager for that to be the case?”

It’s three sentences at most.

A letter saying that the only thing to trust is the seal of the head of the family.

I don’t know much about the author Muradni, but I doubt that the king of a country would act with a three-line letter at most. Especially with a small mine like this.

The rebuttal to that question came from Sera Lee, who was sitting next to me.

“The duke must have done very well. “Isn’t now the time to doubt, but rather the time to have full faith?”

“…I feel this every time, but you seem too optimistic. Especially when it comes to the Duke’s work.”

“Let me ask you the opposite. “Did the Duke fail at anything he set out to do?”

“….”

Ilya’s mouth was tightly shut.

It was definitely because I couldn’t refute those words.

No matter what plan Ethan moves with, the results he shows are always successful.

“…I’m not saying this for nothing. Hiding one’s appearance also has its limits. “My mana is not infinite.”

There were a total of two people on the trip to the Kingdom of Ameria.

Ilya and Ysera.

The reason was simple.

Ysera was an essential member to go to the place to make the Fire Land Divine Sword, while Ilya…

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to learn a few things at this point.’

The cult leader, no… I once made a promise to the demon dragon.

The content of the promise was simple.

God’s metal Ardenheit.

The plan was to engrave a circuit directly into the metal.

When creating an artifact, when do you carve a circuit?

Simple.

It was time to create the ‘frame’.

In other words, it would be time to construct the exterior.

When Ardenheite is melted and slightly hardened. The point at which it was not completely hardened was when the circuit could be engraved.

A circuit is a kind of magic circle, and forming the shape that makes it up was an essential process.

What if Ardenheit completely solidifies?

Thanks to its enormous strength, it is said that even a demonic dragon cannot easily engrave a circuit. This metal is not called the metal of God for nothing.

They planned to call Lord Lorotia through Ysera, open the door to the Land of Fire, and then bring the cult leader and Muradni with them to create a new sword. As Illia is called the mage of production, she must feel something when she sees the cult leader’s words.

That was the reason I accompanied her.

If the leader was a one-off, Ilya was one of the talents that needed to be used consistently.

‘It’s about time.’

Be it the cult leader or Muradni.

The appointment time is getting closer, so he will appear soon.

The prediction was exactly right.

[It’s been a long time.]

A soft voice echoed inside the mine. It was the cult leader’s. The faces of the two women stiffened as they vaguely sensed the power inherent within them. A mysterious person who we have only heard about through rumors.

All that was known was that he was so powerful that he could treat the seven archbishops like limbs.

If Ethan hadn’t mentioned that the cult leader was planning to visit, both of them would have fainted. Soon, Inyoung, wearing a jet-black robe, appeared.

[You will have to convince Muradni at once. Because time is not finite.]

“Of course.”

Immediately afterwards, the awkward silence continued endlessly. The two people who heard about the fact that the cult leader was a dragon had no intention of talking to him, and even though they had a subtle cooperative relationship with him, they were not on good enough terms to even have a private conversation, and the same was true for Ethan. It was the religious leader who spoke first amid the delicate silence.

[It is the land of fire. I’m really looking forward to it. I didn’t know there was a human who made a contract with a spirit lord.]

The eyes of the demon dragon who spoke were sparkling. The spirits and dragons were not the same species that interacted with each other.

This is because people of the same race as humans and elves were born with elemental power. Even so, it was possible to observe the appearance of a top-level spirit if one wanted to, but a monarch-level entity was different.

Because there was no human being who shared the contract. Calling it out through royalties is itself an impossible task.

I thought it was like that until now.

That is, until I witnessed the spirit temple in front of me. Even though he used the word spirit, he was not completely without a sense of exploration like other magicians. Knowing the unknown means accumulating knowledge.

This could be said to be a rare opportunity even for the Demon Dragon Lucreon, as each piece of trivial knowledge can become a clue to enlightenment.

This was the reason why I visited this place right away even though it was busy.

[this. Even if I were to keep talking to myself, it would be quite lonely.]

“Are you naturally that talkative?”

[Wouldn’t it be better for both parties if we had a closer relationship rather than just a cooperative relationship? For that to happen, communication is an essential process.]

“If you really want to communicate, how about taking off the robe that covers your face?”

[Hmm. That’s right.]

The robe that covered his entire head went down behind him. What can I say about the face that the demon dragon is revealing?

It was too ordinary.

It feels similar to a young man called ‘Hans’ or ‘Tom’ among the local villagers.

“It’s more ordinary than I thought.”

[What good is there in being noticed? Human beauty is just a range that has no meaning to us. Ah, you’re here.]

Although he was a step later than the leader, Ethan felt it too. There were personnel secretly entering the mine.

[Then, please talk carefully.]

The ones who appeared soon were Muradni and the dwarves who appeared to be royal knights. Dwarf knights each emitting sharp prayers. Ethan looked at Muradni and slightly lowered his head.

“Nice to meet you, Your Majesty.”

“…Are you the current head of Ardan?”

“yes.”

“…I heard a rumor, but he’s definitely young.”

“There are more people accompanying me than I expected.”

“They are trustworthy. “They are also colleagues who have been with me my whole life.”

That may not be the only reason we went together. A minimum safety device would have been necessary. Wouldn’t the king of a country be able to enter the mine alone in the middle of the night?

I understood.

But I couldn’t just leave it alone. Because not a single variable could be tolerated when hunting down the Iron Tyrant.

That thought seemed to be the same for the Demon Dragon.

Perfect!

The cheerful sound of snapping fingers.

It was a simple action, but the results were quite shocking. With Lucreon’s hand gesture, the eyes of all knights except Muradni turned blank. Muradni’s pupils widened at that sight.

“What the…!”

[Ah, you can rest assured. Because it doesn’t mean any harm. It’s just a slight memory change.]

“Who are you?”

[Do you know him as the leader of the Naraxus Church?]

“…!”

It was a position that could not have been overlooked. Because the church was consistently dispatching personnel to the Kingdom of Ameria.

In fact, the number of dwarves who believed in the doctrines of the church was increasing one by one from the shadows. As one of the dwarves who hates the dragon race, I cannot help but be in a good mood.

“Has Ardan… decided to join hands with the dragons?”

“I hope you don’t misunderstand, Your Majesty. “It is only a temporary partnership.”

“tandem?”

“Iron Tyrant. “Do you know anything about him?”

“….”

The ruler of the Metal Dragon and the actual head of the Kingdom Council. Of course I knew. Ethan said to Muradni, who showed a stiff face.

“We will hunt him down.”

“…!”

I was shocked for a moment.

he asked in a trembling voice.

“Does this mean you’re going to… kill him? why? Then why is the religious leader together? “Isn’t the author a member of the Dragon Clan?”

“I will summarize briefly. “It seems like the dragon clan also has factions.”

Only then did things start to come into view. In short, it meant that the cult leader’s forces and the Iron Tyrant were hostile forces.

“There is a saying that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. I know something about the situation facing your Majesty. Iron tyrant. If we don’t deal with him, the Dwarf Kingdom will turn into a world overrun by dragons.”

“…I don’t think my situation will improve even if I kill him.”

Muradni’s eyes were constantly focused on the demon dragon. I could guess what he was worried about. They may be worried that they might put a condition on allowing religion in return for dealing with the Iron Tyrant.

Ethan looked at the demon dragon.

“Be sure to go. If you want to hunt the Iron Tyrant, stay away from the Kingdom of Ameria.”

[Hmm… of course. I promise. At least as long as the duke and I maintain cooperation, the church’s forces will not be deployed to the kingdom.]

Muradni frowned upon hearing those words.

“Are you saying that if the duke doesn’t cooperate, you will spread the cult?”

[Is there any reason not to do that? By then, the duke and I will have become enemies. I am not a philanthropist.]

“…I would like to ask the Duke. How long do you plan to cooperate with the author?”

“Nothing has been decided yet.”

“Are you saying you plan to just hunt down the Iron Tyrant and then walk away?”

“Even if that were the case, Your Majesty would not suffer any loss.”

“….”

Muradni’s face darkened.

The fact that I couldn’t refute it made me even more depressed.

The power of the council attached to the metal dragon has now become so large that it cannot be controlled.

If you are not careful, you could be dragged down from the throne.

Many dwarves could become slaves of the dragon race. That was the greatest fear inherent in the Dwarf King’s heart.

But now I had no choice. Except choosing the lesser evil instead of the worst.

“…So what do you want from me?”

“Ardenheit. “I want you to use that metal to make a sword body.”

“There is Ardenheit?”

“yes.”

“…Can you show me?”

“Of course.”

Muradni’s eyes widened when he saw the metal he took out from his pocket.

“…Really. It’s something I’ve only seen in literature, but it’s definitely… worthy of being called the metal of God. However, smelting is impossible now.”

“Are you lacking skills?”

“no! Even if you’ve never handled that metal yourself, you can tell whether it’s possible or impossible to smelt it just by looking at it. My skills are not lacking. But…”

He sighed and added.

“Even if we used the heat from the kingdom’s large furnaces… it would be impossible to melt it. “There’s just not enough heat.”

“I can solve that.”

“…You can airlift that much heat? where? “Do you really think that white flame can emit that much heat?”

“This woman next to me is a spiritist. I made a contract with the Fire Lord. “I will ask the monarch to open a way to enter the Land of Fire.”

“…Land of Fire? “Are you sure you’re talking about the land of spirits that has only been told about in legends?!”

“yes. There is a phrase that states that when the first head of the family created the divine sword, he melted Ardenheit in the Land of Fire. “There is a precedent, so it wouldn’t be impossible.”

Muradni’s eyes lit up.

The gaze of a blacksmith rather than a king began to emerge.
