Chapter 44
I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 44
#When I returned, the family was ruined (45)
Mount Erankel.
This place was located about three hours away by carriage from Gerond Village. The coachman’s voice was heard through the dead silence.
“Im here!”
Ethan got out of the carriage.
He said when he saw the driver.
“Be on standby.”
“All right.”
The owner of the top walked ahead.
I climbed the mountain with him and asked him a few questions.
“Is the person guarding the print shop a warlock?”
“no. “My guess is that he might be a fire-type wizard.”
“flame?”
“…yes. While the book was being distributed… a figure like a face appeared through the burning candlelight. “I’ve used that to contact you a few times.”
The owner of the top tier leaked internal information without hesitation. In any case, from the moment she started heading to the printing house with the Archduke, the fact that she had been in secret with him was revealed to the whole world.
platform.
There was no way those cruel bastards would leave him alone.
Therefore, it would have been better for the Grand Duke to wipe out all the printing houses.
That’s why I started digging up information.
‘A wizard.’
It was a name I had heard a lot recently. A group of wizards I learned about while researching Helmut.
And even wizards belonging to the church.
For some reason, it seemed like these two organizations were closely connected.
This was Ethan’s instinct.
His instincts, which had reached transcendence in his previous life, rarely went astray.
‘If you look at the shape that appeared in the candlelight.’
Even if it’s not at the level, it’s probably level 5 or higher.
‘His position in the church is probably higher than that of a warlock.’
While only one person was assigned to mine the ore, I heard that this printing shop is full of sectarians.
This means that the print shop is a place that is considered more important.
Therefore, the position of the manager would also be high.
After climbing the mountain for about two hours.
A cave was visible in the distance.
The head of the household whispered very quietly.
“…That place.”
“How big is it inside?”
“The further you go in, the wider it gets. “For a moment…”
Sang Sang-ju picked up a tree branch and began to trace it towards the dirt floor.
It seemed to describe the structure inside the cave.
Although it was a crude drawing, it was not unrecognizable.
“There are machines here to print books, and this and this place are places where mercenaries roam and stand guard. Wizards usually stay here….”
The interior he drew was a space with paths like a maze.
‘If I hadn’t listened, I would have gotten a little lost.’
Ethan asked, nodding.
“Is this wizard alone?”
“I’m not sure about that… But one thing is certain: He’s the only wizard I’ve ever seen.”
“okay.”

Ethan immediately pointed out the merchant’s blood. He fell down helplessly. Ethan sat him down in a suitable place.
Since we have identified the acupuncture points that control the movement of the legs, we will have to stay here for at least half a day.
“Please wait.”
“…yes.”
My legs couldn’t move, as if they were paralyzed.
Even without those words, I had no choice but to wait.
Ethan entered the cave.
‘There are no guards at the entrance.’
Like the abandoned mines I visited previously, there were no common means of security such as alarm magic circles.
Ethan laughed.
It’s an important place, but the border is a mess?
This means that the territory has not been invaded at all for at least a few years.
‘It must have entangled itself quite deeply in the kingdom.’
A duchy that will become its own territory.
Just thinking about these scum living and breathing in my territory made me feel angry.
He held the handle of his sword tightly. That was the moment I stepped inside.
A voice came from inside the cave. The voice was lively, as if they were sharing an interesting story.
―Yamma Pilton! So what happened?
-Hehehe. Is there anything special about old age? When I held the knife to the husband’s throat, he became obedient.
-You weren’t caught?
-What can we do with the disappearance of a few people? He probably thought he was eaten by a wild animal. Mana is definitely good. It’s much easier to kidnap than before.
-Still, be careful. What if I keep doing this and the chief priest here catches me?
-Perhaps they will cover it for you? Last time, Megen had another accident and you covered that up too.
-really?
-uh. I heard it directly from Megen. As soon as the chief priest gave the order, the investigation stopped immediately. Actually, this is just a very minor thing, right? What would be the benefit to the denomination by losing talented people like us?
-That’s right.
Ethan, who was listening to the contents, wrinkled his face. Because the conversation was so disgusting that it was almost disgusting to listen to it any further.
He walked away quietly.
Very naturally, we made eye contact with the guards. I saw people wearing clothes with markings that looked like dragon faces.
He was a mercenary.
“…uh?”
“What is that guy?”
Two mercenaries who appeared to be guards tilted their heads.
There were no names written on today’s entry list.
It means an uninvited guest.
This was my first experience since working here.
I was embarrassed for a moment.
They drew mana from within their bodies.
A fairly long mana bloomed between the sword I was holding.
‘That’s the breathing method.’
A breathing technique learned by a warlock.
It seemed a little lower level than that, but the overall framework was similar.
‘These guys have power similar to a 3-star knight.’
A mixed breathing method that combines the breathing methods of dragons and humans. This was a breathing method that gave enormous strength even to a worm.
One of the mercenaries looked at Ethan with a mean smile.
There was an alarm button near where the guards were on duty.
If you press that button, a warning sound will sound throughout the cave.
However, the mercenaries had no intention of pressing that button.
“Just by looking at him, he’s a knight. Tsk! Good. “I’ve always wanted to test this power at least once.”
Mana blooms like it’s burning inside the body.
After learning this technique from the church, his life changed 180 degrees. This is because mana, which was the exclusive property of learned people such as knights and wizards, began to flow within his body.
The mercenary looked at his colleague Pilton next to him.
After learning the breathing and sword techniques given to him by the church, Pilton had a history of killing a whopping 3-star knight.
How condescending he always was to himself!
‘I also never run out of mana!’
Pilton and himself had similar swordsmanship skills.
Because I learned breathing a little late, there was a slight difference in mana in the beginning, but as a year passed, the gap had narrowed considerably.
The knight in front of you will be able to test your skills.
“Hey Pilton.”
“why?”
“I will kill that guy, so don’t get involved.”
“It’s so damn bad.” “Even if you ask for help, I don’t know?”
“Do you think I’m going to lose to that bastard? “If only I had mana, a guy like that would just…”
It was that moment.
Ethan’s new model glided towards the mercenary. He opened his eyes and hurriedly swung his sword.
The movement seemed like a systematic swordsmanship. However, the sword wielder was so poor that he was unable to use any of the sword techniques.
If the author had properly understood the theory of the article, he would have had to invest some time to process it.
Of course, that time may be fleeting.
Ethan slightly twisted his waist.
After easily dodging the sword that was cutting diagonally, he lashed out with his great sword.
Starting from his top to his torso, he was cut off with one sword.
Pilton was startled by the splashing blood fountain.
‘Me… crazy!’
I couldn’t even see how that knight wielded his sword.
I ran out, and the moment my colleague swung his sword, my body was split in two.
It means that it is a monster that you can never face with your own skills.
Pilton urgently ran towards the button. It was the moment when he was about to press the alarm button.
Something that flew out of nowhere not only pierced his palm, but also dented the wall of the cave behind him.
Pilton’s eyes widened.
‘…oh my god!’
It was Mana that passed through his hand just now.
Since I had mana, I was able to immediately realize how shocking this was.
Even decent knights could not materialize mana and send it flying over long distances. This is because it required strong mana control.
It was when I was about to scream in pain. Suddenly, the driver approached and pointed at Pilton’s neck.
No sound came out, as if my throat was blocked.
“Do you feel like pressing it?”
“….”
Ethan laughed quietly when he saw Pilton.
I clearly remembered the conversation I had just heard.
There must have been someone in the village who was embezzled.
It was a very clear example of what happens when undeserved power is given to trash that is not even equipped with basic preparations.
“You will have to pay until death for messing with my residents.”
Ethan, who noticed the guy’s blood, infused mana into it.
The blazing fiery mana seeped through its blood blade.
“…Uuuuup!”
It feels like every single blood vessel is being roasted until golden brown!
It was truly incredible pain.
As I learned about each of its tiny acupuncture points, I never forgot to analyze the inside of its body.
Just by looking closely at his blood vessels, I was able to understand to some extent how mana flows and how a collection of mana is created in the heart.
‘Interesting.’
A mixed breathing method that combines dragon and human techniques.
‘I guess I could use it as an eight-hwan.’
Bahuan is a liquid metal that spreads throughout the body. It was also possible to combine all of this in one spot.
What if you keep the eight pills in your heart like these guys?
‘I might be able to gather energy faster than before.’
I was able to roughly understand the composition principle. The only thing that was disappointing was that the mercenary’s breathing technique was very poor.
It was difficult to properly remodel the Eight Rings with only this at best.
It was obvious that if it was remodeled in this way, its lifespan would be shortened.
‘I wish I could learn about the breathing techniques of superiors.’
The structure had to be understood in much more detail than it is now.
If you can do that, you can explosively increase the speed of collecting mana while maintaining the existing mana hole.
While observing each one of them.
The mercenary whose insides were completely cooked eventually died.
He threw the guy’s body on the floor.
It’s trash that doesn’t deserve to be buried in the ground.
The bugs will eat the flesh on their own. Ethan continued inside.
Although there were guard soldiers here and there, they were all turned into deceased by his sword.
That was when they were moving around and wiping out more than twenty mercenaries.
A bustling sound was heard from inside.
―…I can’t contact you.
―…Some… guy… Chase…
―…Intruder… Gather the crew…
‘You’ve been caught.’
They moved from the front gate, sweeping away all the guards.
The process was not discovered.
And yet they are reacting like that now.
‘They must have their own communication system.’
Ethan walked forward. Before long, a cavity-like terrain was revealed. More than twenty people were waiting inside.
Ethan looked at the crossbows in the mercenaries’ hands and smiled grimly.
‘That’s fun.’
Crossbows are strategic items.
In most cases, this means that it is a product that cannot be distributed.
It’s just mercenaries holding it. It seemed like the power of the religious denomination was greater than I thought.
Last row.
The person wearing the black robe spoke loudly.
“who are you?”
A blazing flame was fluttering in his hands.
He was a wizard.
“House owner.”
“…what?”
The wizard, who was tilting his head, immediately flinched.
“no way…!”
Ethan immediately rushed towards them.
“Shoot!”
With the wizard’s words, dozens of bolts flew toward Ethan.
For a 4-star knight, this would be a threatening attack in its own way. However, Ethan was not a knight with that level of skill.
The moment he struck his sword.
All the flying bolts melted.
It was an enormous firearm.
“…!”
Shock appeared in the eyes of the mercenaries and wizards.
