I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 190

＃When he returned, the family was ruined (191)

Even after hearing the news of the religious leader’s participation, the duke’s decision remained the sa.

Delprion’s mind beca complicated. Because of this news, I hoped that they would reconsider their participation in the competition, but on the other hand, I wanted them to participate in the competition as originally planned and reveal the na of the kingdom.

“…When do you plan on leaving? “The gate can be opened at any ti.”

“I’ll do it tomorrow.”

“I will bring an escort, so what do you think about going with ?”

Marquis Lionel.

If we have him accompany us to this tournant, we will have the opportunity to step out when a crisis arises. This was a big bet for him too. The religious leader ca to the competition in person. If he challenged the duke or went on the offensive at all…

even if Marquis Lionel accompanied him, there was a high possibility that there would be casualties.

Wasn’t he none other than the head of that cult? The power it possesses is beyond imagination. It was definitely not a safe option.

“I will accept your heart.”

Ethan shook his head.

Accompanying the Marquis Lionel was tantamount to making a kind of show of force. If the cult leader’s mind was focused on killing this side, bringing an escort was virtually useless.

Would a person whose power is incomparably greater than that of the Archbishop change his mind just because one more transcendental person was added?

They’re probably trying to dry up Heidern’s seed at this point. In that sense, escort was useless in the current situation.

“…Are you going to be okay?”

“yes. “If the religious leader was such a hot-headed person, wouldn’t he have visited the kingdom separately instead of revealing his destination?”

If his goal was assassination, a much more reasonable option would have been to just secretly visit the duchy. It had been nearly three months since the Archbishop was defeated and fled.

This ans that there was plenty of ti to co directly to destroy Ardan, who was a thorn in his eyes.

Nevertheless, he remained silent without any response. It was strange to think that such a person would suddenly pull out a knife.

“…I understand. May Heidern’s blessing be with you.”

After the conversation is over.

Ethan returned to the room assigned to him. After thinking for a mont, he called Myers and Nerian.

Ethan said, looking at the two people.

“I heard that the religious leader is planning to visit this tournant.”

“… When you say cult leader, do you an the owner of the cult?”

“okay. “The external reason is to watch the competition.”

“For a cult leader to move for that kind of reason…”

“The purpose is too weak.”

Myers, who had been listening to their conversation, looked at Ethan.

“…Could it be that you are coming to observe your brother?”

“observe?”

“huh.”

“Why did you think that?”

“If I were the leader, I don’t think I would have bothered to leave Heidern alone. Honestly, you have enough strength, right?”

“Is there so ulterior motive behind leaving this alone?”

“I guess so? “Even though our family has not yet recovered its forr glory, its symbolism alone is quite a threat to the church.”

That was correct. This is the family whose previous head defeated the dragon lord. For a church that believed in the dragon race itself, erasing Ardan was a reasonable option. If you think about it, there were so many opportunities.

Even if we assu that he did not co into the attention of the church until he killed the bishop.

‘…You can’t know the Archbishop’s affairs unless you know them.’

A branch was an adjunct to a church that governed a kingdom, but it was unlikely that all managent was simply entrusted to one branch. He must have at least had so interdiate contacts.

When there was friction with Agiles.

When the archbishop was defeated.

If the religious leader had taken action himself at that ti, he would have been able to sufficiently dry up Ardan’s seed. But the religious leader did not do that.

At best, he sent a dragon nad ‘Anna’ who seed to be his close associate.

‘I don’t think that Anna had any intention of killing either.’

The purpose was actually close to observation.

Haven’t you been staring at from the roof all day long? Therefore, I thought that the religious leader would not move directly.

“…I definitely think the purpose is not combat.”

That said, I don’t think he really moved just to look at his appearance. Ethan looked at the group.

“If the church goes on the offensive… keep both of them in mind. “Get out of that situation first.”

“…Don’t fight?”

“This is not an opponent you can beat even if you fight. Even I would have to risk my life to deal with the cult leader. “I can’t be sure that I will win even if I risk my life like that.”

“…Aren’t you a transcendent now?”

“Isn’t there a high possibility that the cult leader is one step ahead of the level called the transcendent?”

The identity of the cult leader is most likely one of the Yongin tribe. As humans and dragons interacted and shared each other’s strengths, it was highly likely that the overall power of the dragons increased.

So, it wouldn’t be surprising if real monsters that even transcendents would find difficult to deal with appeared.

“….”

The two people were silent.

Even a transcendental person is a very distant state, but there is a monster that has reached a level that exists at a higher level than that. But what Ethan said wasn’t completely wrong.

“…but. It would take strength to treat the archbishops like limbs.”

Of course, surprisingly, there may have been cases where the leader only acted as the head and had little power of his own, but that was an overly optimistic view of the situation.

“…okay. “Then what about your brother?”

“I’m confident that my body will escape, so you don’t have to worry.”

As I entered the state of transcendence, I was able to utilize various technologies. Even when confronting the dragonlord, he would have been able to escape if he had sacrificed at least one limb.

The reason I didn’t do that was because there was no hope of getting out anyway.

Not only did all the most talented people in the West Continent die, but even the knights and brothers of the family closed their eyes. It was all a sacrifice made to clear the path to the dragonlord. In such a situation, handing over an arm and a leg and thinking about what happened next?

A better option would have been to cut off his arm and die. That’s why I fought him until the end.

But it was different now.

There was no need to make a life-or-death decision with the cult leader in the current situation. The experiences of my previous life combined with the changes in my current life allowed to reach the state of transcendence in just one year.

Ti belonged to Ethan, not the cult leader.

‘One of the dragonlord’s minions.’

A guy like that could get seriously injured, but escaping the attack itself wouldn’t be that difficult.

That was the reason I participated in the competition.

It was very important to take this opportunity to check on the cult leader and understand his strength.

“Get ready. “Departure is tomorrow.”

The two people nodded.

* * *

Seven gates located in the royal palace.

They were all connected to the capital of each kingdom. As it was a gate connected to the heart, the thod of use was very difficult.

Normally, no matter how much mana I put into it, it was impossible to activate it. The teleport gate was activated only after contacting each kingdom for permission.

If you think about it, it was natural.

What if you leave it open all year round and get attacked? He is mortally wounded before the war even begins.

Therefore, the number of people who could use the gate was strictly limited. There was only a maximum of three people that could pass through at one ti.

Now, the tricky royal gate was glowing blue and pulsing with mana.

“You may co in, Duke.”

I entered the inside of the gate with my group. A huge amount of mana enveloped the three bodies.

It feels like the space is changing.

I felt dizzy. Usually, the farther the distance was, the more severe the dizziness beca.

That too for a while.

The scenery before my eyes completely changed. A huge pillar. Gorgeous works of art placed everywhere. There are even heavily ard knights waiting.

‘You’ve arrived.’

Imrahil, the capital of Lidell.

It was the inside of the royal castle located there. The royal knights approached Ethan.

“Are you Duke Ethan?”

“right.”

“Please co this way. “Your Majesty is waiting.”

Whoa.

I thought I would be assigned a room, but I never thought I would face the king right away.

“For the last two, this way…”

Ethan nodded. I left Myers and Nerian behind and followed the knight.

Lidel’s royal castle was much more spectacular than Heidern’s. It seems that the king here enjoys luxury quite a bit. Soon, a huge mithril door appeared. A gate with colorful embossings of all kinds of animals.

It was a throne room.

“His Majesty the Duke of Ethan has arrived.”

“…co in.”

The voice was extrely lifeless. It was as if an old man on the verge of death was speaking.

‘Was he old?’

I rember it wasn’t.

I entered the throne room. I saw an old man sitting on a huge throne. whitish hair. Wrinkles all over the face. Even the extremities that have dried out completely.

Sothing was strange.

Wasn’t the King’s age known to the public to be around 50 at most?

But now, he looked like he could easily pass the age of eighty.

“…et His Majesty Bjorn.”

“Nice to et you… Duke… I’ve heard a lot of stories… about you…”

It’s hard to even form words, so he continues the conversation while taking a deep breath. What the heck.

“Can I know what you called for?”

“Nothing… no… I wanted to see Heidern’s… hero… with my own eyes…”

Two eyes filled with goo looked desperately at his own appearance. It was being contained in . It was an attitude that at first glance seed desperate.

“Is there… sothing… you want?”

“What do you want?”

“It’s a gift… I’d appreciate it if you thought of it…”

It’s a gift.

The flow of conversation was very unexpected. This was true even if we only thought about the relationship between Lidel and Heidern.

Although there is currently a truce, Lidel was one of the kingdoms that were eagerly targeting Heidern. It is not a strange relationship to stab soone in the back and then wrap it as a gift.

But I don’t think so…

‘I think he’s sincere.’

For a mont, I wondered if the king had grown senile. In any case, there was no need to refuse a gift. It’s not like he was the first to say it.

Ethan thought for a mont and said.

“There is sothing I want.”

“…what…is it?”

“There is a nto left behind by my father. “I heard that the nto was sold to the Ploten duchy, and I would like to get it back.”

Seven of the eight rings were located in Heidern, but the remaining one was different. Because it existed in the Kingdom of Lidell.

After the tournant, I was planning to visit Duke Floten’s house.

Looking at the current situation, it didn’t seem necessary.

If the king intervenes, wouldn’t it be possible to get the Eight Pillars back without much friction?

“Floten… go to the dukedom…”

Imdiately, the king flinched. It was a direct response that caught Ethan’s eye.

Cold sweat began to flow from Bjorn’s head. That too for a while.

He nodded frantically.

“Sure… I will definitely find it for you… so don’t worry…”

“… Thank you for your kindness.”

weird.

Clearly, Bjorn’s reaction was not normal.
