I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 13

#When we returned, the family was ruined (13)

Inside, there were all kinds of leather piled up. A magic circle was operating beneath the piled leather.

‘It’s a preservation magic circle.’

It was a magic circle that maintained the freshness of items.

The reason it continued to operate despite being away for a long time was because it had a structure that collected mana from the atmosphere.

“Brother, is this the warehouse where the by-products are stored?”

“It seem to be like that.”

While Myers looked around, Ethan lifted one of the leather pieces placed on the magic circle.

Hans’ eyes lit up when he saw that.

“this is!”

“know?”

“yes! This is peacock skin. Because it’s so fluffy and soft, it’s a must-have item for noble ladies every winter. Oh my… I’ve never seen so many peacock skins piled up.”

Hans looked around at the leather.

“It’s old, but the leather isn’t damaged. “I think it’s something worth the price.”

“Check the items here.”

“All right.”

Hans diligently walked around the warehouse. Every time, all kinds of screams of joy erupted.

“This is awesome! oh my god! “This is just a treasure trove, Grand Duke!”

“How much will it cost if I sell everything?”

“Hmm… the market price may be very different from the past, but if I had to guess, I think it would be thirty platinum coins at best.”

“Thirty pears and platinum coins?! “That means three thousand gold coins!”

Myers was shocked.

Since he was young, he has not even held a gold coin, let alone a platinum coin. In such a situation, not one but thirty platinum coins!

I couldn’t help but be scared.

Ethan chuckled at that sight.

“Stay safe Myers.”

“Hmm! Big big. It’s no big deal. Haha….”

Thirty platinum coins.

It was a considerable amount.

In other words, about 3,000 gold coins would be enough to cover four months’ worth of tax revenue for a wealthy baron.

It was as if we had prepared some basic seed money.

Ethan looked at Hans.

“You know the market price well.”

“lol. My father was a merchant. So when I was young, I followed my father around the kingdom. So, I have a good understanding of the market prices of most items.”

‘He’s a merchant.’

How did such a guy end up taking on the role of villa keeper?

As I looked at him quietly, he continued talking.

“Oh, it wasn’t that big. I just felt like a wandering businessman. Then, my father passed the family business on to my eldest brother, so I fell into this path.”

“okay?”

“yes. Originally, I wanted to be an administrator… but somehow it ended up like this. haha.”

It seemed like he had his own circumstances.

Anyway, it was fortunate that I knew the market price. Because of the experience I had when I was young, I would be good at disposing of large quantities of items.

“We are planning to dispose of everything.”

“All right.”

Hans put the items in his bag. Since all by-products were expensive, Hans was very careful when handling the products.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a lot.

Most of the items in the warehouse could fit in his large suitcase.

I put the rest in Myers’ suitcase.

“I’ve put it all in, Grand Duke.”

“Hyung, I’m almost full too.”

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

Hans’ eyes sparkled as he climbed the stairs.

‘How do they know all this?’

The same goes for the tradition called the Festival of Fire, as well as the discovery of a secret warehouse along with a rest area.

The archduke seemed to know much more about the dukedom’s secrets than his other brothers.

‘Did the previous Duke tell you something else?’

As he was the eldest son of the family, it seemed possible. Hans swallowed quietly.

Duke of Ardan.

Before the 10 collateral families took over, it was a family that was considered the most prestigious family abroad. If you knew all the secrets of that family…

‘It would be of great power to the Archduke.’

Not only did I immediately receive a blessing from an enormous spirit called the Lord of Fire, but I also obtained by-products amounting to 3,000 gold coins as soon as I left the temple.

The duke’s secrets were all so great. No matter how you look at it, the Archduke’s chances of winning seemed higher than those of the 10 collateral families.

‘I’ll have to show even more loyalty.’

That way, when he flies into the sky, won’t we be able to fly together?

Hans followed the archduke with a firm resolve.

* * *

Elena tilted her head for a moment at the sight of the two people packing their bags. After hearing about the existence of the warehouse and the value of the goods, he showed a blank expression.

For her, who lived in the hunting annex, thirty platinum coins were a huge amount of money.

‘As expected, it’s Ethan.’

Look at it now too.

Didn’t he suddenly make a huge amount of money by discovering a secret warehouse that even the family members didn’t know about?

“If you have 30 platinum coins… even if you just put them in the kingdom’s bank, that’s one platinum coin every year.”

“Money should be called, not left in your hands.”

Wouldn’t that allow us to handle a much larger amount of money than we can now?

“Is there a way?”

“I have something to try.”

To do that, he needed a good stallion to run for him. I was thinking of going back and looking for those people.

Just like that, the day passed at the shelter. Now that we had obtained everything we needed to from the mountains, it was time to return to the hunting annex.

The way back was much easier than it came. Thanks to the blessing of fire, everyone’s combat power increased by two levels.

Previously, when I used a slash, my muscles would cramp, but this time, I was able to perform the slash without any difficulty.

‘The Lord of Fire.’

It was definitely something great.

Thanks to him, the growth rate has become several times faster.

2 weeks.

That was how long it took to get back to the hunting annex.

Starting with Ethan and ending with Myers and Elena. The attendants looked at the three people and looked surprised.

I can’t express it exactly, but everyone’s appearance was very different from before.

And that too in a very good way.

The attendants whispered quietly.

“…was the Grand Duchess that beautiful?”

“What about the youngest Confucius? “You’ve become very handsome… but what on earth are you doing in the mountains?”

“Don’t you think you’ve changed a lot, Grand Duke?”

“It seems like your impression has improved a lot….”

Archduke Ethan.

Although he was still thin, his appearance had become much softer. It definitely looked much better than before.

It made me wonder what on earth had happened in the mountains.

Of course, I couldn’t ask outright.

Ethan did what he had to do, whether his attendants gave him questioning looks or not.

I was enjoying tea time after taking maintenance time.

“My name is Archduke Hans. “Can I come in?”

“uh.”

Soon after, he came inside and handed out documents.

“This is a list of merchants that can handle the items we obtained this time. “Is there a place you like?”

Ethan looked at the documents.

There were about ten names written on the document. Among them, there was one top that caught Ethan’s attention.

‘It’s the top of Misas.’

It was a fairly familiar name to him. My fingers naturally pointed in that direction.

“Can I call the top of the Misas here?”

“uh.”

“As expected, you have excellent insight! “Even though this place is small, it is famous for meeting deadlines and having a high credit rating.”

“okay?”

“yes. Moreover, the items we have are of good quality, so you will probably want to purchase them all, even if it means paying a premium. “Even though it is small, it is the upper end with a certain amount of purchasing power.”

Ethan nodded.

“I will send you a letter right away. “If we do well, the top will be able to visit tomorrow.”

“Good luck.”

“yes. Rest in peace, Grand Duke.”

Hans left the room.

If I do well tomorrow, I might be able to find a stallion that will earn me some seed money.

Ethan thought of the top of Misas and smiled quietly.

* * *

It was exactly one day later that the Misas Merchant Marine visited. Sangsangju looked at Ethan and bowed his head.

His eyes were full of goodwill.

“I heard that you opened your eyes. Congratulations indeed, Grand Duke! “My name is Michelan, the owner of Misas Sanjang.”

“It’s Ethan. “Let’s have some tea before we break the deal.”

“yes.”

I went into the guest room prepared in the annex with him. Soon after, Hans knocked on the door and brought out refreshments.

“If you need to call me, please call me anytime.”

He bowed his head and left the place. Now it was time to have a full-blown conversation.

“Michelan Sangdangju.”

“yes.”

“The escort knight was quite skilled.”

“yes? A knight? “I don’t have an escort, but…”

He had a very calm attitude.

If I didn’t know any facts, I would have been completely deceived.

Ethan smiled quietly.

“My father said so. “The Marquis of Bessus has quite an interesting tradition.”

“The marquis’ tradition?”

“They say there is a tradition in that family that makes the person who will become the next head of the family independent for four years.”

“What on earth is that…”

“Why are you wearing a bast face mask?”

“….”

“I think it’s because you are the head of the Marquis’ small household. is not it?”

Merchant Michelan, no, Jayron’s mind went blank.

It has already been three years since I left my family and became independent.

During that time, no one recognized his identity.

Not only were there very few people who knew about the family’s traditions, but they also drank the elixir to change their voice along with the bast face mask.

Even if he were the king, he was confident that it would be difficult for him to easily discover his identity.

But how could your identity be discovered so easily?

Jayron looked at Ethan.

His eyes were already full of confidence.

‘Have you been caught?’

From the escort knights secretly provided by the family to the bast muzzle.

The Archduke knew too many facts to disguise himself as an ordinary merchant.

Jayron sighed and said.

“Phew… What the Grand Duke said is correct. Let me introduce it again. “This is Jayron Besos.”

In fact, Ethan told him a lie.

The reason he knew about the tradition of the Marquis of Bessus was not because he heard it from his father, but because of memories from his past life.

In his previous life, the Marquis of Bessus was a family member who poured in the family’s money and provided all kinds of support until the organization was completely destroyed.

The same was true for Jayron, who was appointed as the new head of the family.

I talked to him a lot at that time.

It was at that time that I heard about the marquis tradition.

‘At that time, I heard that he returned without completing four years because of the Yongin tribe.’

In his past life, when Ethan was 19 years old, the dragon people came out and the war started.

However, perhaps because the past has changed here, the merchant still runs the business just fine.

“Nice to meet you, Sogaju.”

Jayron gave an absurd look in his eyes at those words.

Even though he officially revealed his identity, Ethan did not use the honorific.

It is normal for a marquess’ small household to show a respectful attitude even if he or she is a grand duke.

Ethan, who saw Jayron’s face, spoke out loud.

“If you’re dissatisfied, why don’t you speak up appropriately?”

“…No, it’s okay.”

Ethan smiled inwardly.

Because it was the same attitude as in my previous life.

“Sogaju.”

“Did you call me?”

“Would you like to make a deal with me?”

“Deal?”

“To completely seize control of the family, it would take a good performance.”

“….”

“It would be difficult to claim that it was a great achievement if you took a by-product like this and made a profit.”

Curiosity appeared in Jayron’s eyes.

The items we are currently trading are quite valuable.

What on earth does the Archduke hold in his hands other than this, so he is showing such a confident attitude?

I couldn’t help but be curious.
