I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 219
?When I returned, my family was ruined (220)
[Is it that delicious?]
[What does taste matter? What is important is the desire to explore the field of magic.]
In the end, magic was just a branch of magic within the vast realm of magic. The only difference is that it is much easier to cast, faster, and more powerful than magic.
That’s why the demon dragon had a strong sense of exploration. And it’s so much that the criminal can’t even imagine.
The demon dragon answered casually and then looked at the monarch carefully.
[Is this lake important to the monarch?]
[No way. If it was important, it would have been stopped a long time ago. Even spirits have that level of reason.]
[Haha. Then, do you mind if I carry out my research to my heart’s content?]
[As long as you do your job well.]
This is the purpose of coming to the Land of Fire in the first place.
The Spirit Lord’s words were nothing but a reminder of that purpose.
[Of course. The new sword of the time will be much more powerful than the new sword of the previous era.]
[Yes. Drink a lot and study.]
[As expected of a monarch, you have a very broad mind.]
The religious leader smiled happily and as if drinking water from the lake was not enough, he filled a tool that looked like a canteen with a lot of water. In fact, what would happen if we knew that what was in that canteen was not miraculous lake water, but the waste products of spirits? Maybe you don’t really care.
Ethan didn’t feel the need to start, so he quietly watched the scene without saying anything. Of course, my colleague Ilya immediately stopped me.
The demon dragon is not a friend.
After walking a bit.
A huge castle could be seen in the distance.
It is much bigger than the royal castles of the seven kingdoms and grander than the imperial castle of the Zeno Empire.
The place where the Fire Lord resides.
The flame palace began to appear.
* * *
Flame Palace.
This was not simply a place where the Fire Lord stayed. This was the place with the hottest and harshest heat in the entire vast Land of Fire.
Of course, thanks to the monarch’s protection, no one felt the heat.
I simply felt a strong sense of warmth. Everyone who saw the inside of the palace expressed their admiration.
flame. flame.
As befits the name Flame Palace, all the buildings were blazing with flames. Ilya seemed to be unable to contain his curiosity this time and asked carefully while looking at Lorotia.
“If I… touch it…”
[Of course. Since you are a guest, you have that level of qualification.]
With a smile on her face, she approached the painting. A painting in which embers spread like paint across a frame made of flames. Ilya carefully stroked the frame of the picture frame.
“Oh my god….”
How could a single ember in a painting contain the properties of such a huge fire!
Teacups, cups, desks, chairs and even the floor. All objects were like that.
Even if he were a powerful transcendent, he would not be able to last long in this palace without the protection of the monarch. The palace, which seemed more luxurious than anything else on the outside, was actually a place like hell for royalties.
An endless hell full of flames that never go out. Anyone who trespassed would have had to accept the punishment. However, for Illia, who received the monarch’s blessing, this place was an optimal space for training herself.
Just by touching one picture, I began to think about how to use fire-type magic to be most powerful.
It was the same for the religious leader.
Because her level was so high, she did not achieve great enlightenment like Illya. It was clear that every little thing was stimulating his inspiration little by little.
‘The Lord of Fire…’
I couldn’t believe that a being with such great power actually existed.
Of course, I didn’t doubt that it existed.
There were quite a few spiritists on the continent, and the spirits they summoned sometimes talked about their monarchs.
Not only that, but in the literature, there are also stories that the Lord of Fire appeared ‘directly’ on rare occasions, so it’s not like I doubted his existence. However, the variable of the monarch was completely excluded from the plan he made.
‘No.’
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t an exclusion. It’s not that I left something out, it’s that I just didn’t even consider it from the beginning. But I can’t do that anymore. The reason was simple.
Because I found out that there was a spiritist who made a contract with the Fire Lord.
Of course, in the Demon Dragon’s opinion, there was no way that girl named Ysera could summon the Fire Lord right now.
‘It’s not enough.’
At best, the girl’s level is high enough to be a superhuman. On the other hand, the Fire Lord was a powerful creature that existed in a realm beyond the transcendental. It is impossible to summon it on your own.
‘That’s probably why he received the duke’s help.’
passage of fire.
It was Ethan, not Ysera, who created the path for the spirits to travel.
The white flame he utilized contained such great heat and power that even the Lord of Fire could overcome it.
That meant that with the Duke’s help, the Fire Lord could be summoned at any time.
If the monarch was not interested in the duke, he would not have bothered to respond to the summons.
‘The attitude is also very friendly….’
It is a variable.
That’s also a huge variable.
Especially what if that human girl reaches the state of transcendence and possesses the skills to summon a monarch on her own?
For the duke, it was like gaining a powerful ally.
Just like the head of the family who wields white flames that only appears in legends, the Lord of Fire is only told in legend.
If these two beings could even join forces… The corners of the Demon Dragon’s mouth slowly turned upward.
‘I guess I’ll have to change my plan.’
That’s a lot more than you think.
After thinking, he looked at the monarch.
[I heard it from the Duke. You can go back halfway, right?]
[If it were your strength, you could tear the space apart on your own and leave. You’re asking something pointless.]
[If possible, wouldn’t it be much cheaper for the ruler of this place to let me go?]
The powers of the Fire Lord and the Demon Dragon were almost the same. Or, to be more precise, we could say that the monarch is about two steps ahead.
Not only that, this is the monarch’s territory. A realm of the Absolute, where all living things worship the monarch, and even the inanimate earth bows to the majesty of the monarch.
Here, the demon dragon could not be the monarch’s opponent. At best, the best thing to do would be to just barely escape. That’s why the demon dragon maintained a polite attitude throughout.
Not only was it a behavioral pattern that had been ingrained in me since my time as a cult leader, but even more so now, isn’t the structure of the strong and the weak so clear?
[Besides, I already made a promise to the former duke. In order to help him with his plan, I have to go back once in a while.]
[Hmm. Is that so?]
Lorothia’s gaze turned to Ethan. Actually, opening the way wasn’t that difficult. In particular, isn’t this place one’s territory? To exaggerate a little, it is simply an easier act than breathing.
However, the reason I did not nod right away was to make the initiative itself clear. I looked at Ethan and saw him nodding.
“It is essential for planning. “Can you help me?”
[Well… I will only do it if the duke asks me that much.]
“Thank you.”
Ethan bowed his head.
Lorothia has received a lot so far. If it was a quid pro quo payment, it wasn’t either.
Of course, it may be that he helped him by seeing him as a talented person who could create a passage of fire that the monarch could pass through in order to be summoned to the human world.
‘…it was actually a tree that gave generously.’
It was an embarrassing result that could even be considered a reward. Because he gained a lot by summoning the Fire Lord. That’s why I couldn’t help but be thankful. I still haven’t figured out how to repay the favor, but…
‘Maybe I can help you someday.’
Double the grace and double the resentment a hundred times.
It was one of Ardan’s family traditions.
[You said it takes about three days to make a sword body, right?]
Muradni nodded to the cult leader’s question.
“If you are simply creating a shape to carve a circuit, rather than producing a finished product, it will take about that long.”
[Then, let’s get out of here first in three days.]
Ethan nodded.
The reason the cult leader left the Land of Fire one step ahead was simple. It was just to build an alibi. Even if he was now using a ‘substitute’ to fill the vacancy, he couldn’t fool the other dragons forever.
The maximum time for deception is about three days at most.
If the Iron Tyrant were to die after the leader disappeared, it was obvious that the other side would be viewed with suspicion, unless they were fools. Because there are so many eyes watching, it is impossible to leave the place for a long time.
Of course, if a dragon of the same caliber as Naraxus, the leader of the shape-shifters, served as a stand-in, they could avoid as much suspicion as possible…
Unfortunately, the shape-shifters were unable to imitate the cult leader.
A demonic dragon who has surpassed the realm of transcendence.
This was not something even the leader, Naraxus, could imitate. I don’t know if that guy had also surpassed the level of a transcendent, but otherwise, it was obvious that the moment he imitated it, his insides would be completely consumed.
Three days when the Demon Dragon resides in the Flame Palace. During this time, completing the frame of the new sword was a top priority.
Muradni picked up Ardenheit. The metal still maintained its shape despite not being protected by the Fire Lord. Even the extreme heat of the palace could not melt Ardenheit.
also.
It seemed like the monarch’s flame would be needed to melt this metal, as written.
Lorotia stood up from the throne in response to the sudden gaze.
[You’re asking for a light, right?]
“Yes. “I think I’ll need the monarch’s flames to melt this guy.”
[good night. Ignis.]
[Did you call me, monarch?]
[Bring the blacksmith tools provided inside the palace.]
[Understanding.]
Ignis returned soon after.
In the spirit’s hands were various blacksmithing tools. A blazing anvil and hammer overflowing with flame. There’s even a frame with the shape of a sword embossed on it.
In particular, the shape of the frame was quite familiar to everyone.
Muradni swallowed his saliva when he saw the frame.
“This can’t be right…”
[These are tools used in the past when making new swords. Receive.]
In his hand was a hammer of fire.
Warmth spreading throughout the palm.
What was even more surprising was that this hammer was of much higher quality than the special hammer he used.
[Try to infuse mana.]
“I understand.”
The moment the mana escaped from Muradni’s body.
All kinds of colorful patterns began to flow out from the blazing hammer. A body that becomes light as if flying in the sky. My senses have become so sharp that I can clearly see even the dust floating in the air.
Not only that, but the intense power spreads throughout the entire body, including the forearms. Muradni let out a scream from the intense exhilaration.
“Power… power is rising!”
It was the moment when the best blacksmith was given a tool that was close to perfection.
