I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 99

#When I returned, the family was ruined (100)

After the play ended.

Ilya stared at Ethan.

“Have you been dealing with fire mana since you woke up? “It was quite extraordinary.”

“….”

The guy was already completely brainwashed by the play. There is no need to break the illusion.

That was the moment when Ethan quietly nodded. Gaelen, who was sitting next to him, said with a bright smile.

“How is it? This is the starting point of ‘cultural invasion.’”

“aggression?”

“To explain this… I have to show you something. Can you see the bar over there?”

Ethan looked at the direction Gaelen pointed and tilted his head.

“The bar has an unusual name. Card bar?”

“It’s literally a bar with card games. That is also the core element of the ‘enjoyment’ I have prepared. “After Lawrence saw the card game I created, he immediately gave his approval.”

That strict Lawrence?

Immediately, he remembered what he had heard last time.

“I want the Duke to check this for himself. “It’s quite… interesting, and it’s an item with a structure that’s a bit complicated to simply explain in words.”

It seemed like it was referring to a card game.

“Would you like to come in?”

“Sure.”

I went into the card bar with him. Inside, there were already a lot of people gathered.

What the drunk people were dealing with were literally cards.

“It’s very popular.”

“yes. Basically, it is fun and has a good structure for making small bets. Would you like to give it a try? “It will definitely be fun.”

“Sure.”

“If you spin this wheel here, the duke will decide which character to deal with. “As each character has different cards that they can handle, you will be able to get a different feel.”

There were a total of four characters written on the wheel. Ethan looked at the list and laughed.

―Cold-blooded trickster ‘Lawrence’

―Freedom fighter ‘Marcus’

―Dragon Slayer Knight Commander ‘Nerian’

―Genius girl wizard ‘Ilia’

The wheel was not filled with only these four names.

Because there was a space in the far corner with a very small question mark. Ethan’s eyesight didn’t miss it.

“What is that small question mark over there?”

“Oh, that’s the duke.”

“…huh?”

“There is a very small chance that you can select ‘Legendary White Flame Knight Ethan Ardan.’”

“….”

Ethan was speechless for a moment.

Ilya asked after seeing Gailen.

“Is the Duke’s character stronger than other characters?”

“That’s not it. “The balance of this game has been adjusted perfectly.”

“Then why did you narrow down the odds of making a choice like that? “If it’s not a fraudulent character, I think you can just equalize the odds.”

“Uh huh. That won’t work. “Shouldn’t we instill curiosity in the many tourists who will visit this place?”

“curiosity?”

“Customers who paid the entrance fee and visited the bar. They will think. I’m talking about who the character with that question mark is. After rumors spread about that protagonist, hehe… wouldn’t you be itching to choose the Duke at least once?”

“Hmm… will that really happen?”

“I’m sure. This card game prides itself on being fun enough to arouse such curiosity. Moreover, the duke’s reputation is just as great. Oh!”

Gaelen clapped his hands and looked at Ethan and Ilia.

“Now, you two, please give it a try. “Illia and Ethan will be assigned their own characters without a wheel.”

“Sure.”

Ethan and Ilya took a seat at the table.

The structure was simple.

Each person had an order, and each time that order passed, something called ‘mana’ was filled one by one.

“Mana refills up to 10. And each character has 25 health.”

In addition, four cards were given at the beginning, and each time each person’s turn came, one card was added.

“The structure is to use mana to advance these cards onto a table called ‘field’ and finish off the enemy.”

“It’s a unique method.”

“You can think of chess pieces as cards. “Then let’s begin.”

Ethan and Ilia were each given four cards.

Ethan chuckled after looking at the cards given to him.

[1 Mana]

[Brave Private]

[Stamina: 2 / Attack Power: 2]

[Attribute: Attack First]

[This card can attack immediately after appearing on the field.]

[Comment: For our guardian, Duke Ethan!]

Starting with a card of a private soldier drawn in a rather cute drawing style.

[4 Mana]

[Solid Shield Soldier]

[Stamina: 5 / Attack Power: 3]

[Attribute: Shield]

[In order to ‘directly’ attack the enemy character, you must first defeat this card.]

[Comment: Will it become the master’s shield? Ernie!]

Shield soldier’s card and knight’s card.

And finally, there was a card that could be called a ‘special move’.

[10 Mana]

[Knight of White Flame Ethan Ardan]

[Legendary Card]

[Health: 13 / Attack Power: 13]

[Attribute: Wave of White Flame]

[When this card is played, all other cards on the field are destroyed.]

[However, in return, all cards you own are discarded.]

Starting from the first 1 mana, up to 10 mana. Ilya and Ethan continued their fierce battle by throwing cards on the table.

‘It’s a game that uses your brain more than you think.’

Each card had unique effects.

Just looking at ‘Ethan Ardan, the Knight of the White Flame’, it was like that.

Instead of discarding all the cards he had, he could properly put pressure on the ‘field’ by playing this.

That was the moment when Ethan published an article with white flames.

“Ahh!”

Ilya screamed.

This is because the dealer took all of his cards on the table. Of course, the duke’s card was also taken away.

In the duke’s field, there remained a white flame knight boasting a whopping 13/13 ability score.

That was why Ilya screamed.

“what! “Where can I find something like this?”

“These are the rules of the game.”

Ilya was crying.

This is because there were only weak cards left in his hand that could be played with cheap mana, such as 2-mana or 3-mana cards.

And what’s even worse.

The fact was that there were no cards with the ‘shield’ attribute that could protect one’s body. It was a structure that could not block the White Flame Knight, whose stamina was 13 due to miscellaneous card loans.

In the end, Ilya lost the game after being hit twice in the body.

She puffed out her cheeks as she looked at Gailen.

“I heard the Duke is just like any other character! what’s this! “It’s so strong!”

“Ilia also had a good card.”

“what is that!”

“It’s like this.”

When she saw the card Gaelen handed her, she turned into a mute.

[10 Mana]

[Genius Girl Wizard Ilia]

[Legendary Card]

[Health: 7 / Attack Power: 7]

[Attribute: Become a Sheep!]

[Among the enemy cards on the field, the card with the highest combined attack power and health is turned into a Sheep. It changes it.]

[Yang]

[Stamina: 1 / Attack Power: 1]

[Attribute: Meeee~]

[Meeeeeee~]

“…Woo, even if you just handed me this, it doesn’t mean I won. !”

“The order in which cards are handed out is absolutely ‘random.’ “This is because the thirty cards assigned to each character are shuffled as much as possible before the game begins.”

“Isn’t that just saying that if you’re unlucky, you’ll fail?”

Starting from cards that can be used for 1 mana, to cards that can be used for 10 mana. There were many types of cards given to each character.

However, everyone started out with 1 mana, and had to wait nine turns for the mana to reach 10.

What if only high-level cards that require 9 or 10 mana continue to be handed out in the early stages of the mana range?

In effect, the story was that you had no choice but to suck your fingers and watch the enemy’s cards come up on the table.

Gaelen smiled at those words.

“You got to the point. “He is also called a genius wizard.”

“What’s so funny about this? “If you’re not lucky, you’re a lost game.”

“Hehe. Is that really the case? Let’s think about it. What games involve the most luck? This is the game we call ‘gambling’. Have you ever seen such gambles fail?”

“That…”

“Probably not. “The gambling den must be one of the most popular places in the underworld.”

Ethan showed interest in his eyes.

Because there was nothing wrong with what Gaelen said.

“So this game will also be popular?”

“I’m sure. “After playing mock games at these card bars for the past ten days, the response was truly explosive.”

“What is the income structure? “Are you charging a participation fee?”

“Hehe. There are those, but the most important thing is this.”

What he handed over was a square box.

“What is this?”

“If you played the game just now, you may have noticed that each character is assigned 30 ‘base cards’.”

“yes.”

“The basics are just that: basics. There are many different types of cards. “This box contains five cards, excluding the basic card.”

“Are you going to sell that?”

“Humans’ desire to collect is beyond imagination. Didn’t history explain it? Hehe… how do you feel?”

“It’s okay.”

Ethan nodded.

Certainly, the profit structure presented by Gailen was very interesting.

“If this game becomes very popular, bundles of these cards will be distributed to tourists and even other cities.”

“For the game to continue, the balance of each card and the rules of the game are most important.”

“As expected, you are the duke! The teacher also pointed this out. “Once the ecosystem is created, we must firmly control it so that this game can spread to each country like chess.”

“Did you maintain a good balance?”

“We hired a large number of smart wizards. Hehe… Nearly ten wizards are maintaining balance in the lab, so you don’t have to worry right now.”

He began to explain his vision.

Currently, they are simply printing cards in printed format, but when the edition becomes larger in the future, they plan to use ‘magic’ to create fancy cards.

“I plan to create a magic system that will hold the center of this card game, like a ‘communication crystal ball’ that constitutes a kind of communication system.”

“Are you planning on connecting that with a card made using magic?”

“yes. That way, even if there is an update in terms of balance, it can be easily applied to each card. Of course, it’s difficult right now, but…”

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

Although he was a knight, his sense of reality was not so dull that he could not recognize money-making items.

‘This is going to make money.’

That’s a lot of money too.

It was then.

Gaelen whispered quietly.

“I heard that a book called Dragon Clan God Book is being distributed throughout the kingdom.”

“right.”

“In fact, I heard that the book contains tips on breathing techniques. That would mean that we only look at those who need power.”

“I guess so.”

“But this ‘card’… could affect everyone. For example… by creating an evil ‘dragonlord’ character. If you start with the kingdom and very slowly… increase the scope….”

Cultural invasion.

That was the moment when what Gaelen said began to make complete sense.

By controlling the culture, people’s ways of thinking could also be overturned. If that happens, it will be possible to hinder the advancement of the dragon clan.

“We will increase the subsidy.”

“yes? Is that true?”

Gaelen smiled happily.

Five hundred platinum coins that I received fifteen days ago.

This, frankly, could only form a rough draft of this project.

If the amount is more.

It would have been possible to create a fancy ‘magic card’ by using a hundred wizards instead of ten.

“I will send you a thousand platinum coins within a week.”

“Thank you…thank you!”

“And when the ‘magic system’ is properly completed, I’ll give you a share. Would 20% be enough?”

“Huh!”

20%!

It was a significant percentage for simply being paid for implementing an idea.

It was common for vicious nobles to steal the results of their own projects and drive out the developers while only implementing them.

‘As expected, it’s the Duke of Ardan!’

Gailen, whose eyes lit up, lowered his head.

“We will do our best to develop it!”

“okay. “I’m looking forward to it.”

Gylan’s results were so groundbreaking that we can really look forward to the future.

“I’ll just go back now.”

“yes. I will take care of you….”

“That’s it. “You’re going to be busy with just work, so take a break.”

“All right. I hope to see you again next time….”

After a polite greeting from Gailen, Ethan left the bar.

“Are you not interested in exploring other cities?”

“The granary city will only become active when the elves move in, and the other cities are actually only small, so there is no need for me to go there in person.”

“I see.”

“egg plant. To Londinium.”

The central city where the duke’s mansion was located. Now it was time to return there and restore the handle of the divine sword.
