I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 48

#When I returned, my family was ruined (49)

I carefully looked through the documents Sylvia gave me. Starting from the scale of distribution of the Dragon God Book that is taking place at Dekun Self-authorship, to its sales route.

“It’s smaller than I thought.”

“It seems like their entry into Dekun Self-Action is something that happened recently. “They say it’s only been about three months since the distribution network was formed.”

Ethan nodded.

Even if there was someone in charge of managing the sales network of self-authored artists, there was a high possibility that it would be worthless.

‘but.’

Last time I checked, the senior priest was a fairly high rank. After the chief priest was the bishop, and then the archbishop who was in charge of a kingdom.

There won’t be one head priest or something spread out in each territory.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Distribution of dragon race books.

This alone was an excellent excuse to strike down Viscount Dekun.

Ethan looked at Sylvia.

“Send a message to Hans. Tell Count Chayman to give me a tip. “Lower taxes.”

“All right.”

Sylvia understood what it meant at once. Because the plan he had in mind was the same.

‘As expected of you, Archduke.’

He was outstanding not only in military power but also in wisdom.

For her, who had lived a life at the bottom, rising to the heights of heaven was one of her life’s wishes.

Ethan Ardan.

If you are with him, you will be able to achieve your wishes.

She quietly admired it.

‘I need to try harder.’

Shouldn’t a strategist come up with a more efficient plan than what his master came up with?

With that, she quietly left the office with her resolve strengthened.

Soon, light began to flow from the communication crystal sphere provided to Sylvia and Hans.

* * *

After receiving the call.

Hans immediately went to Count Chayman.

“Count. Are you there?”

“Please come in.”

Hans politely opened the door.

“Okay, what’s going on? “Has the Archduke’s next goal been decided?”

Chaiman asked quickly, his eyes bright.

If only that archduke would attack Irdan’s faction one more time!

Now, Seunggi was completely leaning in this direction.

Hans shook his head at those words.

“sorry. The Archduke’s next destination has not yet been determined for certain. Just….”

“…just?”

“I have something to report. “Please look at this.”

Chayman tilted his head after looking at the document Hans handed him.

The document stated on what grounds the Archduke attacked the two barons.

so?

Hans continued speaking quickly at Chayman’s questioning gaze.

“When the Grand Duke attacked the two barons, the biggest justification he used was the tax limit written in the vassal contract.”

“Hmm. so?”

“What if we completely abolished the archduke’s cause at this point? We are lowering all tax rates collected by our faction all at once. “If we also increase the welfare of the territory’s residents…”

Chaiman burst into laughter at those words. It’s not because I don’t know and I’m not doing it.

“Chief of Information. Let me think about it. “Is our faction the only one collecting a lot of taxes now?”

“…That’s not it.”

“okay. Irdan’s faction also maintains the same high tax rate. “What the Archduke attacked this time was his faction.”

“…Of course, I also believe that the next target is likely to be a territory belonging to the opposing faction. However, the Count and Archduke are not easily misunderstood. “You have to prepare in your own way…”

“Intelligence Manager.”

“yes.”

“That’s such an overreaction. There is little chance that the Archduke will attack us first, so why are we so scared that we should already lower taxes? How will Irdan’s faction view us right now? No, not only the opposing factions, but also the seven kingdoms will laugh at us.”

Hans quietly lowered his head.

On the outside, he seemed to be sullen, scoffing at the proposal to his superiors. However, the inside was completely different.

‘Hehe. also.’

There was no way that greedy guy would just lower the tax rate.

Everything is as expected.

Chaiman spoke soon after.

“I will think about your suggestion one more time. However, it is difficult to say that this is important information.”

“I’m sorry, Count. “If you give me a little more time, I will try to find as much useful information as possible.”

“okay. But don’t push yourself too hard. “The reason I appointed you as head of the intelligence department was not because I wanted exceptional results, but because it was all about the concept of compensation.”

Although he spoke warmly, his eyes were dimmer than anyone else’s.

As if they can cut you off at any time if you don’t ask for useful information.

“Thank you for the opportunity, Count.”

“okay. “Let’s go out now.”

That was the end of the conversation between the two men, who were different on the outside and the inside.

* * *

It was during training at the inner training center. Sylvia came up to him and said:

“I received a call from Hans. “The Count said he immediately kicked that offer away.”

Ethan nodded as if it was obvious.

They are fighting among themselves to get more out of the Balanced Development Subsidy or something else.

The head of those guys lowers the tax rate of the entire territory to prepare for the low probability?

It was an impossible story.

The prediction turned out to be very accurate.

“How about taking the Dekun Viscount in about two weeks? If we attack right away, suspicion may be focused on Hans.”

Ethan nodded.

It certainly made sense.

What if I heard that this side attacked as soon as Hans started talking about the danger.

Because the situation couldn’t help but feel very odd.

‘Two weeks isn’t bad.’

It was the perfect time to reassure the Count and dispel his suspicions about Hans.

That was when I was nodding my head like that.

“Hmm. Hey kid. Are you the eldest son of the Ardan family?”

A voice came from behind.

Ethan picked up the great sword, turned around and slashed without hesitation.

A massive fire engulfed the inside of the training hall.

All the training tools were on fire in the roaring flames, and the soil was so dry that it was almost crumbly.

The only person guaranteed safety in Ethan’s territory was Sylvia.

‘Who is it?’

Soon she saw the burning flames and tilted her head.

The voice heard just now was that of an old woman.

As far as Sylvia knew, there was not a single person in the inner city with a voice like that. That may be why the Archduke struck the blow without hesitation.

What kind of tricks did they use to not only pass the resistance but also get to the training ground?

‘Was the alert level messed up?’

I felt like I needed to talk to the knight commander.

That was when she was thinking about the security of the inner palace.

“Heulheul.” “It’s hot, isn’t it?”

An old woman holding a cane walked out of the swirling flames.

Even the clothes he was wearing were intact, as if he had not been affected by fire at all.

There was no way an ordinary person could walk out unharmed in such high fever.

“Who are you?”

Ethan asked abruptly.

“Ilya.”

“…Ilya?”

It’s a name I’ve heard of before.

No, actually, it was not something I had heard of, but it was one of the names that was very familiar.

‘Illia, the mage of crafting?’

In his previous life, he was one of the famous wizards. This was especially true in fields related to production.

The herbal potion that Ethan gave to the Marquis of Bessus was one of the items that the wizard in front of me shared the recipe for.

A magician of crafting.

In addition to that nickname, Ilya had one more nickname.

Archmage.

A title given only to true magicians who have reached the 8th rank or higher. Ilya was one of those great wizards.

‘Wasn’t he a wizard who didn’t get involved in worldly affairs?’

It was definitely like that in my past life.

Among wizards, they live very quietly. This type of wizard was usually called a ‘hermit wizard’.

Ilya was one of the reclusive wizards. If the Dragon Race had not appeared, she would not have appeared in the world.

‘I wouldn’t have faced death.’

Through repeated wars, production wizards became battle wizards and broke through the 9th rank of superhumans.

At the last moment, he was a wizard with a history of being pierced through the heart by the words of Lucreon, the leader of the language worshipers.

‘Even though that dragon-headed bastard later tore out my heart in the same way.’

Anyway, there was a time when I felt quite depressed after hearing the news that she had died.

He was a wizard who was similar to a researcher who specialized in production and gave a lot of help to mankind.

Why did such a wizard appear in front of him now?

After thinking for a moment, Ethan was able to think of one reason.

‘Could it be because of the herbal potion?’

It’s still just speculation.

Ethan looked at Ilia and growled.

“Stop fooling around. Wizard. “I can already see through your true colors.”

Ilya’s eyes lit up at those words.

Eyes filled with confidence.

That was definitely not something I was talking about.

“It’s great to find out about this. “Heulheul…”

The body of the old woman who was smiling sinisterly began to slowly change.

Wow!

Crack!

The entire skeleton of the body was completely changed. What appeared like that was the appearance of a girl who appeared to be about ten years old.

The blonde girl cleared her throat and spoke.

“Hmm. Hehehe! Let me introduce myself again. “It’s Ilya.”

Sylvia’s eyes widened at the sight she was seeing for the first time in her life. Because the old woman suddenly turned into a young girl.

“…Is that your true face?”

“okay. “It’s a little girl.”

“….”

The 8th rank wizard’s insight was very sharp.

It was enough to immediately see through the true face of Sylvia, who had been disguising herself as a man for many years.

Ethan asked after seeing Ilia.

“Wizard. “Why did you come to see me?”

“I came to visit the maker of the herbal potion. Don’t even think about covering it up. “I’m already on my way after figuring out everything.”

An 8th rank wizard would be able to easily dig up information. Even if it is related to the Marquis of Bessus.

“okay. I’m right. “Now it’s my turn to hear your business.”

It was that moment.

Ilya asked, snorting excitedly.

“How did they create an item that is exactly the same as the item I was researching? “The ingredients weren’t any different.”

Ilya was a wizard who had lived for over a hundred years. However, this was the first time in my long life that I had experienced something so absurd.

At first, I thought his production secret had been stolen.

but.

If you think about it, it was ridiculous. How can you steal a secret that only exists in your head?

A knight, not even a wizard.

An incomprehensible phenomenon.

Ilya came here in person to explore the unknown.

Ethan chuckled at that sight.

How long.

It’s possible because I came from the future and saw the recipe you revealed.

But it was impossible to give an answer like this.

“It must have been the same item being studied.”

“…Does this mean you were also studying that item?”

A person who had been lying down for over ten years created such an item in less than three months after waking up?

It was an unbelievable story.

Ethan shook his head at Ilia’s words.

“I never said I did my own research.”

“…then?”

‘Hmm.’

Ethan looked at Ilia.

There was a reasonable answer. If you answer what comes to mind, you will go back with some understanding.

but.

‘It’s a shame to let it go like this.’

A relationship that happened by chance.

It would have been a shame to just blow this away.

Because she was one of the famous crafting wizards in her past life.

While Ethan was pondering, a good idea occurred to his mind.

‘If you do this well.’

I think I could try to catch this wizard once. Ethan looked at Ilia and started speaking.
