I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 51

#When I returned, my family was ruined (52)

Ethan was momentarily speechless at the word kingdom that suddenly appeared.

It was right then.

Porforens clapped his hands as if he understood.

“Ah… The Archduke has been down for the past ten years.”

If you think about it, it was natural not to know. The Archduke was about nine years old before he fell.

They were at an age where it felt strange to be so brightly aware of the state of the world.

It wouldn’t be any different just because they were nobles. The corners of Porforence’s mouth began to move rapidly.

Fifteen years ago.

After the war with the dragon people ended, all the dwarf tribes that had suffered great damage gathered together.

He concluded that a kingdom where everyone was united was needed to prevent foreign invasions.

The story was that twelve great tribes came together to establish a kingdom.

The first king was Muradni, one of the chieftains.

‘That gentleman became king.’

In his previous life, he was one of the most skilled blacksmiths who always repaired Ethan’s weapons.

A dwarf blacksmith who always grumbled but did an amazing job of repairing a weapon.

“I have a question.”

“yes. “Please tell me.”

“Originally, dwarves weren’t that familiar with the word capitalism.”

“It was definitely like that in the past.”

“Since when did the tone change like that?”

“After the kingdom was established.”

“Can you tell me why it changed?”

Dwarves, a race that cannot be separated from the word craftsmanship.

I was curious why their temperaments had changed so much.

Since I had the chance, I thought I would listen to the answer.

“We dwarves have suffered great damage from the dragon race. “We lost our home, the number of our people plummeted, and all infrastructure was completely destroyed.”

Porforens sighed and continued speaking.

“We needed money to restore all of this in a short period of time. Craftsmanship? At least one year. In the long run, if we can mass-produce it at a slightly lower standard than hammering a sword for a lifetime…”

“You mean you can make more money?”

“That is why we dwarves began to blend into the human world. “If you had human currency, you could get most of the things you wanted.”

“Do you make money and give it to the kingdom?”

“The structure is such that a portion of the amount we sell our products is settled in the kingdom.”

A miser to a salty person.

Based on the evaluation he heard from the soldiers who guided him in the previous city of Greston, the cause was much healthier than expected.

Because they were no different from workers working to death in other countries to create a better place to live.

“I said I would submit a letter to the Kingdom Council.”

“yes. If that happens, that guy Williams will be summoned to our kingdom. You will probably be severely punished. However, if I have some concerns…”

“What is it?”

“The question is whether the Kingdom of Heidern will readily repatriate Williams. “I’m not sure if they’ll let the kingdom’s blacksmith go so easily… If the situation gets to that point, I doubt he’ll go to the Kingdom of Ameria without hesitation.”

It certainly made sense.

Williams.

A kingdom blacksmith who supplies goods to the Heidern royal family.

At that level, it can be seen that he has a tight grip on money, fame, and even information.

Did that guy really accept this job just for the money?

‘No matter how much money I give.’

Not only the Dwarf Kingdom, but even the Heidern Kingdom, it would be too foolish to recklessly try to do something that could get you caught at the same time.

‘Besides, you probably have a general idea of the kingdom’s policies.’

You probably already know that the tone of the Kingdom of Heidern is not very favorable towards the dragon people.

“There must be a back boat.”

And that’s a strong enough backbone to protect him when this incident comes to light.

“…yes. “I think so too.”

Porforens spoke weakly. This is because catching Williams didn’t seem as easy as expected.

Ethan, who was tapping his fingers on the desk, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

It was a meaningful smile.

“Forensic.”

“Yes, Archduke.”

“Don’t you want to play in bigger water?”

“If it’s a big one…”

“It would be a much greater benefit to the Dwarven Kingdom and to you to become a kingdom blacksmith than to work as a blacksmith in a medium-sized city.”

“…!”

Porforens widened his eyes.

A kingdom blacksmith!

If you could climb it, it was a fantastic place that could not be compared to anything else.

‘Besides… the fact that I am stepping up…’

will be the story after defeating Williams, who is like an enemy.

“Right… that’s right! “Ho…do you have a way?”

“All you have to do is create a solution.”

Porforence’s eyes sparkled.

“Well…if that happens, I will give my allegiance to the Archduke with all my might!”

“Just words?”

“Oh…no! “If you want, I’ll take the Hammer’s Oath!”

In the end, it was just words.

“There are many things in the world that can show your will other than language. For example, a contract or something.”

“Gye…a contract?”

“You don’t like it?”

“Absolutely not! Of course, a contract must be in place to ensure mutual trust!”

Ethan immediately called Sylvia. When I briefly explained the situation, she nodded as if she understood.

“If you can create a position, we will do our best to negotiate the terms of the contract.”

“okay. “Let both of you go out and wait.”

“yes.”

After sending out Porforens and Sylvia, Ethan immediately called Paulton.

“Lord Paulton.”

“yes. “Your Majesty.”

“I’d like to use your contact crystal sphere. Is that possible?”

Paulton, who was shocked for a moment, nodded. If you think about it, it was even stranger that the Archduke did not know that he was in contact with the Marquis.

“Could you please wait a moment? “I think I should talk to the matriarch.”

“Sure.”

Wait a while.

Paulton returned to the office and handed over the crystal ball.

“You are connected.”

He quietly left the door.

Ethan looked at the crystal ball.

In the crystal sphere, there was an old man with bright eyes.

-I heard a lot from my son and Lord Paulton. Nice to see you like this, Grand Duke.

“Nice to meet you. “Your Excellency the Marquis.”

-haha. While walking down the street, His Excellency said something stiffly. It’s okay to just call me “you”.

“Then let’s do it. “I put the elixir you gave me to good use last time.”

-Wouldn’t it be to our benefit if you do well? I’m just happy because the results are good. What’s going on anyway?

“The kingdom blacksmith of this country is directly connected to the dragon people.”

―….

Bloten was silent.

This is because an issue that was heavier than expected emerged. Ethan continued speaking calmly.

“Aren’t you thinking of changing the kingdom’s blacksmith? “We have a good candidate.”

Kingdom Blacksmith.

It is a position that supplies manufactured goods to the royal family. A high-ranking position worthy of treatment above that of a count just by virtue of his simple position.

If only we could get the people who could reach this place, the benefits that could be gained would be significant.

Top and blacksmith.

Even though their occupations were completely different, they were a group that could exert much greater power the moment they came together.

-Is there a way?

Ethan explained the plan.

The Marquis’ eyes lit up when he heard that.

The Archduke whom I met in person for the first time today. His plan was very bold but also meticulous.

-That’s great.

“I have one question.”

-Something?

“Does the king of this country hate the dragon people?”

―…This is a difficult question to answer with certainty. To be honest, it’s ambiguous. There are all sorts of political issues going on…

Ethan nodded.

If the king was hostile to the dragon people, the plan might work more effectively.

‘That’s not decisive.’

In the end, it was just an additional element.

“Would you like to try it?”

-The dragon people. I didn’t know I’d end up with those monsters again. haha.

Yongin people.

Because of them, the Duke of Ardan and the Marquis of Bessus sacrificed many things and lost their former glory. All I got was a beautiful shell called a hero.

At least the Marquis did not regret his past decision.

Because it was something he had to do as a noble standing above him. Perhaps the Archduke feels the same way.

-Let me send my son away.

That was precisely why the Marquis did not reject the Archduke’s offer.

‘That’s it.’

The marquis agreed and a plan was drafted.

It was the close relationship with the later writer that produced this result.

That was when I was about to end the conversation.

-Oh. I almost forgot to tell you. A gift will come to you soon.

After giving the elixir again?

The Marquis laughed and added, as if he was saying that.

―Isn’t a futures offensive essential to capture the goose that lays the golden eggs? You can look forward to it. Then, let’s go to work.

And so the secret conversation ended.

When Jayron visited the next day.

“Please take care of me.”

“yes. “We will do our best to negotiate a contract in a way that is mutually beneficial.”

Jayron, Porforens, and Lawrence entered the secret room. It didn’t take long for the contract to be drawn up.

Ethan looked at the completed contract and nodded with satisfaction.

Popolence holds the position of blacksmith of the kingdom.

The Marquis of Bessus made a clear advance into politics and gained the important title of blacksmith of the kingdom.

Lastly, Ethan has completed a great contract that will allow him to reduce the power of the dragon people and reap the benefits in the process.

By making small concessions to all three, a perfectly balanced contract was completed.

“You worked hard. Sogaju.”

“How difficult is it to make small concessions as we go together? “It’s only natural.”

Ethan looked at Jayron.

Through this incident, it has been confirmed that I will be running toward the same goal as the late writer. In order to make this relationship even stronger and stronger.

“Let me tell you about the second product. “The name of the product I will tell you about this time is called the juice of vitality.”

As Ethan continued his explanation, Jayron’s pupils got bigger and bigger.

Like the previous herbal potion.

This was a product that was sure to be a huge hit.

It was a truly excellent choice not to lose touch with the Archduke. It was a moment when Jayron’s thoughts became solidified once again.

* * *

After signing the contract.

Soon after, the marquis’ gift arrived. Ethan’s eyes lit up as he looked at the item.

What the Marquis handed over were gauntlets and greaves. It was also an item made entirely of mithril.

‘It’s Mithril.’

The price of these two items alone will be comparable to the elixir I received last time.

No, it might actually be more expensive. Mithril holds mana well and is much stronger than steel.

‘I received a nice gift.’

If only these two pieces of equipment could be made into artifacts along with the great sword.

It seemed like it could be useful for quite a long time.

I called Ilya and Porforens.

It was Ilya who ran first.

“What’s going on…”

As she began to speak, she looked at the three pieces of equipment in front of her.

“I need your skills.”

Ilya was pleased to hear those words.

Since staying here, Ethan hasn’t called Ilia even once.

Thanks to this, for the past two weeks, rather than finding out the archduke’s secret, she had to live among people with her true face revealed.

‘customer.’

That’s the most she’s heard in two weeks.

With the added sense of crisis that I could be kicked out at any time, every day felt like a year.

At the end of such a long wait.

‘at las!’

This was his chance to prove his usefulness to that cold human.

Ilya, who had raised her head and made triumphant eye contact with Ethan, immediately lowered her face.

This is because the memory of my hair being cut suddenly came back to me.

‘Whew. calm down! Ilya!’

After taking a moment to breathe, she asked carefully.

“If I help you… you won’t treat me like a guest anymore?”

“If a satisfactory product is produced.”

“Joe…good! “I will do my best to create an artifact!”

Ilya accepted the items with a smile on her face.

Soon the dwarf entered the office.

“Did you call me!”

“I have something to do before I leave for the palace.”

“Ask me anything!”

“Let’s make an artifact with that wizard.”

“…yes? “If it’s an artifact.”

Immediately after, Porforens looked at the mithril gauntlet and greaves in the girl’s hand and tilted his head.

“It would take quite a high level of skill to carve a magic circuit into that kind of material. If you work with a clumsy wizard, you may end up doing a lot of work…”

“Who is the clumsy wizard? “You bastard!”

“What…what! All of it? “I’ve said everything now…!”

Tup!

The dwarf’s mouth closed in an instant. This is because Illya used mana. Only then did Porforence’s eyes open.

‘A high…high-ranking wizard!’

A transfer that was carried out without a single line of chanting, which is common.

It was a simple act, but the delicate mana control behind it was enough to astonish even the dwarves who had experienced the hardships of childbirth.

“Let’s not fight and bring about good results.”

“Even if you don’t say it, you will do it. let’s go. “You bastard.”

“…Uuuup!”

Popolence and Ilia, their bodies pounding, left the office.

two days later.

Ilya with a triumphant face and Porforens with a grin-faced face entered the office. They also brought three results.

Ethan started looking at the items one by one.
