I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 65

#After returning, the family was ruined (66)

“…dealing with the archduke?”

“yes.”

The bishop took a sip of tea and looked at the count.

“Things didn’t look that good. You probably know about the Archduke, right? “He probably won’t compromise.”

“…so?”

“We will help you.”

“Did the Church also hate the Archduke?”

“I didn’t have a housemate with him, but… his recent actions were quite annoying.”

The bishop smiled brightly.

Archduke.

He was a thorn in the side of the Naraxus Church.

Because the Duke of Ardan was a family that fought against the dragons they served.

However, if it had simply ended there, the bishop would not have moved directly.

The death of a warlock who was mining metal.

The death of the chief priest who managed the printing press.

Even banning the distribution of dragon race books.

He had gone far beyond what the church would tolerate.

‘How dare you touch the tribute?’

Archduke.

Recently, as he began exterminating nobles, the circulation of rare metals in the West has decreased significantly.

In addition, they took away Melaisis, a wizard who could transform metal into higher quality.

This was fatal.

Yongin people.

Because we were unable to meet the amount of tribute that was supposed to be given to them.

You can last for a month or two.

However, if more time passed, it was obvious that he would be criticized by the archbishop.

‘There is not enough time to fill the tribute.’

Then there was only one solution.

Making merit that can forgive sins.

The bishop grinned beneath his robes. It was a smile that gave off an eerie feeling for some reason.

Irdan swallowed his saliva and nodded.

“…How are you going to help?”

“Isn’t the reason you can’t hit the Archduke because you’re afraid of getting caught?”

“….”

The Grand Duke is a descendant of a great hero.

They say that if he dies, someone will have to take responsibility.

Even because of the public’s attention, the Kingdom of Heidern will not stay still.

A thorough investigation will be conducted.

So who will be the most likely suspect?

A person who has a grudge against the Archduke and has the power to assassinate him.

The most suspicious person had to be himself.

No matter how meticulously Irdan moved, it was impossible to completely avoid the kingdom’s investigation net.

The moment one gets caught in the investigation net, the family will be ruined.

That’s why I couldn’t recklessly attempt assassination.

It was that moment.

“If this is the case, we might be able to shift responsibility, right?”

Irdan’s eyes widened as he saw the items spilling out of the bishop’s arms.

“Isn’t this… the badge used by the royal knights of the Kingdom of Limedell?”

“You have a sharp eye. you’re right.”

Kingdom of Limedell.

It is one of the kingdoms located close to the Kingdom of Heidern, and has been in conflict with its own country for a long time. How on earth did you get this badge?

The bishop smiled quietly at the curious gaze.

“If you’re in doubt, check it out properly. “This is not a counterfeit product or anything like that.”

Irdan looked closely at the badge and nodded. It was a badge with traces of time intact.

‘It’s not at the level of a similar imitation.’

This was the real thing itself.

“…How did you get this? The Kingdom of Limedell must be strictly managing it…”

“The church has wide legs. Can’t you draw a picture? A family of war heroes. “The successor there is rapidly emerging.”

“…the kingdom of Limedell, feeling threatened, sent its knights to kill the archduke?”

“That’s it. I am very familiar with the swordsmanship used by the royal knights of the Kingdom of Limedell. There is a magic created for times like this. Would you like to take a look?”

Before I could even answer.

The bishop drew his hand in the air.

The wall of the office cracked.

The Count, who saw the Bishop’s magic, gaped.

“…no! “How can traces of swordsmanship be traced through magic…?”

It was magic that even the Count had witnessed for the first time in his life. The bishop spoke to the count, whose eyes were wide open.

“This is one of the magics we have developed recently. How is it?”

A sword mark left through magic.

It was a trace made so elaborately that even if properly investigated, it would not be easily suspected.

gulp.

Irdan swallowed.

I liked the picture too much.

If the insignia and traces of swordsmanship remain as clear evidence, even the investigation team of the Kingdom of Heidern will have no choice but to suspect the Kingdom of Limedel first.

What he suggested was a carrot.

A sweet carrot dripping with honey.

“Would you like to cooperate with us?”

“…haha. It makes it impossible not to cooperate. Let me ask you one thing. “Does the church plan to send reinforcements separately?”

“I will accompany you.”

Judging by the fact that he infiltrated his office without attracting any attention, the bishop was a great expert.

No matter how small it is, he would be a wizard comparable to the knight commander of the territory.

It couldn’t have been better than this.

“…Knight Commander and Deputy Knight Commander. “I will also attach all the elite knights that I have secretly trained.”

One 7-star knight.

There were ten 6-star knights there. Even if the Archduke was the god of swordsmanship, it would be impossible to block their combined attacks.

What if the bishop also accompanied him there?

It will be an assassination mission that you cannot fail even if you want to.

Is that it?

Since all responsibility would fall on the Kingdom of Limedell, he would escape from the investigation net. I couldn’t help but feel reassured.

“I think that would be more than enough reinforcements.”

“Let’s find out the Archduke’s schedule.”

“We will help you too.”

Since the purpose was assassination, the right time was when the archduke had the fewest number of attendants. First of all, researching his schedule was the top priority.

The count held tightly the hand the bishop held out.

* * *

About two weeks have passed since I returned to the territory. Meanwhile, Ethan was observing Irdan closely.

The guy was quieter than I thought. As promised, taxes were lowered in one day, and the distribution of Dragon Clan God Books was also beginning to be banned.

‘Hmm.’

He thought of Irdan.

Is he a person with a calm disposition?

It didn’t seem like it to Ethan at all.

That such a person is so obediently following what he says.

‘There must be someone with a plan.’

It may be because there is something to believe in.

It was then.

“Grand Duke. “This is Lawrence.”

“Please come in.”

Sylvia entered the office and handed over the documents. The information she gave included information about those who had recently entered Plestan.

His eyes lit up as he looked at the documents.

“Hmm. “Are you saying someone from the church was brought in?”

“yes.”

Sylvia nodded.

A situation that pushed Irdan to the edge of a cliff. Naturally, there would be more eyes to monitor the archduke.

That’s why I’ve been searching through the city’s entry list recently.

“You only found one person?”

“…sorry.”

“no. are you okay.”

Ethan shook his head. The process of Lawrence’s investigation was detailed in detail in the documents. She was waiting for the three workers with a triple strainer.

This means that it is a trap that most people have no choice but to fall into.

‘While all three of Irdan’s branches were caught…’

Only one church was caught. Even after entering the city, the traces were completely lost.

Count Irdan and the Order.

It was an indicator showing how stark the difference in level between the two organizations was.

‘The person caught is not at the level of a bishop.’

A wizard of that caliber would not have been able to even find a trace of Lawrence, no matter how good he was.

Church and Irdan.

Sejak was sent into the city at a rather unusual time. And that at almost the same time.

‘The two guys might have joined hands.’

Both of them are forces that it is not strange to gnash one’s teeth at oneself. It wouldn’t have been surprising if they had united.

Ethan asked after looking at the last page of the document.

“Hmm. “Are you trying to adopt the church’s ways?”

“yes. I also learned a lot by tracing the traces. Just as the Archduke accepted the technology of the dragon race, our intelligence group is also trying to accept the methods used by the church’s secretaries.”

Of course, they did not accept completely the same approach. Sylvia has already improved the method they use to be much neater.

Ethan nodded and said.

“Spread disinformation. “They are planning to go on a secret inspection.”

“…Grand Duke. Are you planning on not having the drivers accompany you at all?”

“To do that.”

“…I know your skills well, Grand Duke, but this could be dangerous.”

Church of Naraxus.

Sylvia has been researching the church recently.

Although I couldn’t catch them, I was able to clearly realize how powerful the church was. How could it be that the church is spread throughout each kingdom, including the Zeno Empire?

Not only is the church and the count united, but they are keeping a close eye on the archduke. It wouldn’t be surprising if they sent an assassination team.

If so.

Even if he was an archduke, he could not guarantee safety. Ethan responded to Sylvia’s words while shaking his head.

“But not knights.”

If there were a large number of dragon slayers, there was a high possibility that they would not approach. But what if only a few people come along?

Although it was possible to protect one body, it was impossible to protect all the knights.

The Dragon Slayer Corps had only just begun their training, so they would be massacred in droves.

‘Even if I take someone with me.’

There was only one person, or rather a doppelganger, worth taking.

Ilya.

It was right then.

“Then how about accompanying Ilia?”

“Ilya?”

“yes. The enemies don’t know anything about Illia yet, so even if you accompany her, they won’t think it’s a big deal. First of all, it looks like that.”

It wasn’t wrong.

Anyone who saw Ilya without knowing anything would think she was a girl about ten years old.

Moreover, it wasn’t ‘magic’ that changed Ilya’s appearance. It is just one of the racial characteristics called doppelgänger.

Unless you have a higher magical level than Ilia, it is impossible to see through her true face.

In fact, even Ethan did not see through Ilia’s true colors when he first encountered her.

I told you to reveal your true self because you know the future.

‘If he’s at the archbishop level, he might be able to recognize Illya’s level.’

Those guys who were stuck in the kingdom one by one at most would not directly move on an issue of this magnitude.

‘At best, the bishop will move.’

I had a fight with the chief priest.

And I was able to get quality breathing techniques from him.

So what about bishops?

Of course, he would have a superior training method.

It wasn’t that difficult to make it your own as long as you figured it out through battle.

Ethan looked at Sylvia.

This is advice given purely out of concern for oneself.

There was no reason not to listen.

“Sure.”

“Then I will tell Ilia separately.”

“okay.”

Sylvia came out of the office.

Ethan looked at his body.

He had already entered the third stage of circulation, embodiment. The stage where the body is fully adapted to fire.

Upon entering this stage, it was also possible to turn the body into flame itself.

It costs a lot of mana, so I didn’t use it much unless it was an important moment.

This was also the reason why he tried to go on an inspection alone without thinking about Ilya.

A state of further growth.

I thought that at this level, I wouldn’t be defeated by a bishop or something like that. Soon the door to the office burst open.

It was Ilya.

She looked at Ethan with arrogant eyes and cleared her throat and said.

“Hmph! I heard everything from Sylvia. “You need my help ‘very, very desperately’?”

“It’s not that desperately needed…”

Before I could finish speaking, Ilya immediately interrupted.

“Even though I am busy, I can still make time for my employer. “I will gladly help you.”

“Can you fight well?”

“Even though you have had a hard time, this body is a worthy archmage! Besides, the last time I fought you, I didn’t fight in ‘battle mode’.”

“Battle mode?”

“I’m talking about the appearance of an old man. “This body cannot fight well unless it looks like that.”

Before she knew it, she was holding a small wand in her hand. Ilya, who was swinging her wand, said.

“A single blow of my magic would be enough to put an end to any wizard. Of course I can fight very well.”

Ethan nodded and said.

“If I go out on an inspection, a guy called the bishop might come visit me.”

“bishop?”

“He must be someone who does something.”

“…Hoo.”

If that scary article is worthy of such evaluation, then of course it is not an idiot.

“Is it okay for me to deal with him?”

“yes.”

“Hmm. “Now the true value of this body will be revealed!”

I hope that a guy named Bishop will appear in front of him.

She made a wish.

Wouldn’t that make the archduke who accompanied him clearly realize his skills? The moment when the archmage’s true value is revealed.

Even that blunt person would have no choice but to utter praise that goes far beyond praise.

Ilya’s eyes sparkled.
