I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 43
#When I returned, my family was ruined (44)
“It’s in Gerond Village. “It takes about half a day to get there by horse-drawn carriage.”
I had never heard of the na of the village, but I could guess that it must be quite large based on the top.
“I’ll go.”
“yes.”
Ethan, wearing a black robe, got on the carriage.
After traveling for half a day, the carriage arrived at the village.
Gerond Village was different in size from the small villages I had seen so far. If the village were to be divided into large and small, it was of a size that would definitely fall into the ‘large’ category.
The story was that it was a town that was smaller than a city, but had everything.
It was the mont I got off the carriage.
“I… et you, Grand Duke!”
Tailon, the village administrator, ca running out to greet Ethan.
Starting with the fact that the Archduke has taken over Baron Ronton, and ending with the fact that he will be visiting this place today.
It had already been delivered to the Archduke’s advisor through the Telegraph.
It was heartwarming news that arrived less than a day after the Baron was captured.
‘I’m so glad I got the news first.’
If you heard the story that was spread not by Jeon Seo-gu, but by Al-Eum-Al-Eum.
It would have been at least two more days before I could have received any news.
Even if you ride a horse, it would take half a day at best.
Tailen bowed his head very politely.
It was as if the actual ruler of the Barony of Lonton had visited.
Ethan took out a book from his arms.
“Did you say it was at the top of Mimiron?”
Taillon’s eyes widened at those words.
‘The Dragon Clan God Book! ‘We’re in big trouble!’
That was one of the products secretly distributed at the top.
It is one of the books known to be impossible for rcenaries visiting the city.
Of course, the officials knew that books were distributed here. Since Baron Ziphron tolerated it, he, of course, has tolerated its distribution all this ti.
But who was the Archduke?
He was the legitimate eldest son of a family of great heroes who had stopped the dragon people.
There is no way one could smile brightly and ignore the fact that there are books praising the Dragon Clan circulating in the territory that our ancestors sacrificed their lives to protect.
‘shit!’
If you tie it wrong here, you could end up with your head blown off.
Administrator Taillon urgently knelt down.
“S-sorry! I have committed a mortal sin! Grand Duke! “Even though we knew that these evil books were being distributed, we couldn’t stop them!”
Tears filled Tailen’s eyes. It ans please save .
Ethan nodded and said.
“You, a re administrator, couldn’t have done anything about sothing that even the Baron tolerated.”
Did you live?
It was when Tailon was pleased with the Archduke’s reaction, which was more positive than expected.
“however.”
“….”
“It doesn’t take away the fact that you condoned it. “Isn’t that right?”
“Right… that’s right!”
“Guide to the top of Mimiron. “How you act today will determine whether you live or die.”
“The top…the top is over there! “I will guide you!”
Tailen quickly stood up from his seat and started running ahead.
Right now, eting the Archduke’s intentions was the most important thing.
Ethan followed him.
The sa was true for the private soldiers that Taillan led.
Comrcial area in town.
Among them, the bureaucrat who arrived in area 3 shouted out out of breath.
“This…this place!”
There was a three-story building where he pointed.
[Top of Mimiron]
Although it was close to evening, light was still flowing from inside the building. This ans that there are workers.
Ethan opened the door without hesitation.
“Who are you…”
The employee at the top stopped greeting and then widened his eyes.
I thought it was because a nobleman wearing old-fashioned clothes ca in.
However, the officials and soldiers who ca in after that could not take it easy.
There was definitely sothing wrong.
“you.”
“Yes!”
“Do you know this book?”
Ethan took out a book from his arms.
The employee who saw the title rolled his eyes.
Dragon God Book.
It was a title that you couldn’t possibly know. Because it was one of the books distributed at the top.
The managent was furious at the sight of the employee hesitating.
“Yes Innoom! Are you doing this because you know who the person in front of you is? This is Ethan Ardan, the Archduke of the Duchy! “If you want to live, you have to answer as soon as possible!”
The employee’s face turned pale.
“That…that! I know…I know! “This is sothing that the owner of the rchant brought directly!”
“Where is the rchant?”
“Probably on the third floor….”
“Everyone, please wait here.”
“ancient!”
Officials and other soldiers responded loudly.
Ethan took a step straight away. It was when he crossed the second floor and was about to go up to the third floor.
“what! “We made a reservation first!”
A hoarse voice ca from sowhere. Ethan looked back with an expressionless face.
A harsh impression.
Scars all over his face and throwing weapons hanging all over his body.
They were rcenaries.
“reservation?”
The rcenaries flinched at the cold tone. Only then did we begin to see the movents of the people trying to go up.
By all accounts, he was a nobleman.
Moreover, when I saw the huge greatsword hanging on his back.
‘Are you a knight?’
Just by looking at it, it is an old-fashioned greatsword.
It seed likely that he was a skilled knight. Fighting with the author just to get one turn ahead was bound to be a loss.
rcenaries are weak to the strong and strong to the weak.
As soon as the thought crossed my mind, my fearful spirit died at once.
One of the hesitating rcenaries spoke hesitantly.
“Well… Let’s go first, Knight. We can do it next ti…”
“What do you an you reserved it?”
“…Didn’t your knight, Sir, also co after hearing the rumor?”
“So what kind of rumor?”
“There is a rumor that the book given here contains mana breathing techniques.”
“Is this a famous rumor?”
“What… everyone who knows knows? I think that’s about it…”
The rcenary scratched his head.
White dandruff was seen falling.
“Just ask one more question.”
“…What is it?”
“Do you know anything else about places like this? “If I knew, I would give this to you.”
Ethan took out a gold coin from his pocket. The rcenaries’ eyes widened at that sight.
For a mont, greed passed by.
They quickly let go of their greed. This is because the driver’s mood was very relaxed.
Even though I don’t have mana, I have experienced countless battles.
It wasn’t a good option to ss with a driver in the village just to get greedy for money.
This was especially true if it was an article that seed to have sothing to it just by looking at it.
A mont of silence.
A rcenary with a shiny bald head raised his hand.
“I think I’ve heard of it. However, since this is just a rumor, it is not completely accurate information… Is that okay?”
“Does not matter.”
“I heard that books like this are being distributed in so territories in the West… I have also heard that books like this are being distributed in Viscount Dekun.”
Author Dekun.
It was one of the 10 collateral families.
‘It’s one of Cheyman’s factions.’
Ethan nodded and threw a gold coin.
“Azua! Thank you! Sir, knight!”
“In return for the information, let give you so advice.”
“…?”
“It would be better if you just didn’t learn the breathing thod you’re about to learn. “Because you won’t live long.”
After speaking, Ethan went up the stairs.
‘I won’t live long?’
The rcenaries’ eyes sparkled.
Knights are beings who have learned the secrets of breathing.
There was a high possibility that it wasn’t nonsense. The bald rcenary stood up.
“I don’t want to learn. I felt a bit uncomfortable from the beginning. “The Mana Breathing Technique is such a valuable knowledge, so does it make sense to spread it on people like us?”
“…hey. Didn’t you hear that story? “Kernen learned it and beat a 2-star knight!”
“That’s it. “Isn’t it strange that there are no side effects from such an overt breathing thod?”
“….”
“Anyway, I guess I’ll go.”
The bald rcenary went down to the first floor without any hesitation.
Since I got an unexpected gold coin, I was planning on drinking too much today.
The mont it ca down like that.
His eyes opened wide.
All of the soldiers, including Taillan, the village administrator, were lined up on the first floor.
“…Is sothing wrong?”
“You bastard! “I’m sure you haven’t done anything disrespectful to the Grand Duke, right?”
“…yes?”
“Otherwise, it’s okay. “Get out quickly.”
Tailen waved his hand as if he was swatting away a fly.
A bald rcenary with a curse in his heart left the building.
It was about an hour later that I learned that the knight I had just t was actually the Archduke.
* * *
Boom!
Ethan arrived on the third floor and opened the door that appeared to be his office.
At the head of the table sat a person who appeared to be the head of the top tier. Sang-ju was not the only one in the office.
Because so rcenaries were sitting on chairs.
“What…what!”
For a mont, his eyes widened as if he was startled.
When the rcenaries saw Ethan’s actions, their will to fight quickly disappeared.
“Are you a rchant?”
“…who are you?”
“They are distributing interesting books.”
Ethan took long strides.
One of the rcenaries frowned grimly.
No matter how much they appear to be knights, they were the ones who were talking to the owner of the rchant just a mont ago.
“Follow the order….”
Bang!
The guy who was speaking was punched in the stomach.
In an instant, the rcenary flew high into the sky and was pinned against the wall, trembling. The rcenaries’ complexions turned pale when they saw that scene.
“go away.”
The rcenaries trembled at the growling words.
The energy radiating from that knight was enormous.
“…Hi!”
Just before.
I couldn’t even see how the knight behaved.
If they are soone who throws a punch so fast that they cannot even see it with their own eyes, who have been through their own hardships.
‘He is a high-ranking knight!’
He must be soone with such great skills that you have to be prepared to be killed the mont you co into contact with him.
Those who were quick to notice quickly picked up their colleague who was pinned against the wall.
Everyone hurriedly left, and the only ones left were Ethan and Sangsangju.
“Where did you get that book?”
The upper managent’s mouth was tightly shut.
I couldn’t say this.
Because it was an item that made it possible for the top, which was on the verge of collapse, to sit on a cushion again.
When he saw Ethan, he urgently shouted.
“…Do you think Magistrate Taillan will stay quiet if we make a fuss in the village?”
“I think I’ll just stay still.”
Ethan responded in an emotionless tone and placed his hand on the top seller’s shoulder.
Wow!
“Aaaah!”
The owner of the top scread in pain as he was instantly dislocated and his bones were shattered.
“I asked where did you get it?”
“Kwaaaak!”
“I will co to my senses only if my whole body is broken.”
At Ethan’s words, the owner of the top trembled.
He is an administrator, and if he continues to keep his mouth shut, he will beco an asshole.
The hiding ended here.
“I’ll…I’ll tell you! So give your hand!”
Crash!
“Aaaah!”
“How dare you give orders to such a trashy subject?”
It was a low voice, but filled with burning anger.
The owner of the top hurriedly shouted.
“There is a…printing shop!”
“where.”
“It’s… not that far… from the village! Mountain… It’s a place deep in the mountains! It is difficult to specify the location! I…I know the exact location! “I will guide you, so please save !”
“Guide right away.”
“Ouch…”
Only then did the knight’s hand leave his shoulder. Sangsangju barely let out a sigh and looked at Ethan.
“Well… it’s not difficult to guide you, but…”
“Well.”
“Well… there are people in that print shop, from vicious criminals to people who have been directly inspected by the religious order! If I go alone with the driver now, I will definitely face death! At least so reinforcents…”
This is a guy who went to the temple directly from the church. The printing shop seed to be a more important base than I thought.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to deploy defense troops like this.
“Good. Take the lead.”
“….”
Sang Sang-ju, who was rolling his eyes, slowly walked away.
When I ca down to the first floor like that.
The owner of the top opened his eyes wide.
Starting with the Tailon administrator I just ntioned, all the way to the soldiers.
Because everyone was waiting with their full attention.
For an instant, hope filled his heart.
Yes, now that they had touched them, there was no way they would leave the knight in front of them alone.
‘I didn’t bribe the administrator.’
Still, didn’t the Baron himself condone this place?
He didn’t yet know that Baron Zifron was in prison.
This was when the owner of the top tier looked at the administrator and spoke.
“Right…administrator! “The author!”
“You bastard! “Where are you going to open your eyes?”
The administrator shouted urgently and harshly slapped the head of the household.
“Ugh!”
“Grand Duke! I never accepted anything from this guy! It’s true! “Because the forr Baron tolerated it, I really had no choice but to condone it too!”
Archduke?
The Sangsanju’s eyes widened.
Now things are starting to co into focus little by little.
in between.
Ethan looked at Administrator Taillon.
‘This guy is clean even in the baronial territory.’
He never accepted any bribes, and only collected the taxes he was asked to collect. Even among the corrupt officials of the barony, he is a clean one in his own way.
Ethan said, looking at Tailen.
“I will forget the past.”
“Thank you…thank you! Really hard work! “I will work until my bones break!”
“Don’t forget that feeling from now on. “I’ll just leave now.”
“thank you! “I hope that your future path will always be blessed!”
Tailon shouted loudly.
Sangsangju and Ethan got into the carriage like that.
Without bringing a single private soldier from the village.
Sang Sang-ju’s heart was extrely heavy as it felt like he was headed for a deadly fate.
“Where?”
“…It’s Mount Erankel. If you run straight ahead from here, you’ll see it.”
I couldn’t help but answer.
So the carriage started running towards the mountain.
