I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 144
＃When he returned, his family was ruined (145)
Training tools were pouring out of the duke’s arms to the extent that one wondered where on earth he was storing all those large pieces of metal.
“From now on, I will be wearing these all day long. And the use of mana is strictly prohibited.”
Zeros raised his hand.
“Perhaps… should wizards do that too?”
“It’s a little different.”
Only then did Zeros smile.
I agree with the fact that wizards need to train their bodies, but I had no intention of developing muscle strength in such an ignorant way.
Soon, Zeros flinched.
It was because I felt desperate eyes behind me.
Changseong (槍聖).
The look in his eyes was unmistakable.
‘This is definitely not a ploy to get away alone.’
Training as a wizard is bound to be different from training as a knight.
This was absolutely not betraying a colleague. Rather, instead of overworking his body, he could have used that time to renovate the wind vane one more time…
Zeros’ thoughts could no longer continue. This was because the duke took out something with a grin.
thud!
thud!
It sounded a little lighter than the ignorant sound I had just dropped, but it was clear that that ring also weighed a lot.
“I… is that…?”
“It is a training tool exclusively for wizards and spiritists. “It’s much lighter than the four people I showed you earlier.”
“….”
In the end, it was the same that I had to hang that ignorant training tool all over my body.
“What are you doing? Without wearing it. “Move quickly.”
At Ethan’s urging, later exponents began wearing bracelets and anklets made of steel.
‘What weight…’
I already felt like my whole body was screaming as I was wearing something much heavier than a sword.
As if that wasn’t enough, there was also a waist belt and a ring to hang around the neck. After wearing all the equipment, it was difficult to even walk properly.
“From now on, if you are seen using mana, you will be permanently excluded from training. Do you understand?”
“…yes!”
The weight of the training tools was distributed differently depending on the physical condition of each late exponent.
The only thing they had in common was that the weight was so heavy that a body that did not use mana could not easily handle it.
It was not heavy enough to break the body. However, the weight was enough to make every muscle scream.
“Let’s start by warming up. Let’s run from now on. practice.”
“…practice!”
Six people started running, gritting their teeth, following the duke who started running away.
* * *
Running.
When mana was spread throughout the body, it was an act as easy as breathing. However, when I did not use any of my body’s mana, the feeling was completely different.
‘What kind of warm-up took three hours….’
‘I feel like I’m going to die.’
‘Save me…’
The six people had been running for three hours, following the duke.
Muscles that let out screams.
It had been a long time since I was out of breath.
When I really felt like I was going to die.
“rest.”
“…Huh! rest.”
A break was granted.
Everyone lay down on the floor.
This was because he did not even have the spirit left to save face.
Ethan looked at the late indices and clicked his tongue. Aren’t accumulating mana and using it all tasks done by the body?
Even the mind was just one of the elements that resided in the body.
They say that training the body is the starting point of everything. Even he himself, who had reached the state of transcendence in his previous life, never neglected physical training. In Ethan’s opinion, the later exponents are extremely…
“Weak. “Stamina and strength are also a mess.”
No one could protest against those words.
The Duke seemed to be running without anything hanging on him.
‘…That’s not it.’
It was because we realized as we ran together that something was weighing down his body. Otherwise, there was no way the ground would have caved in with every step he took. I didn’t know exactly what the principle was, but one thing was certain.
The weight pressing down on the duke’s body would be at least twice as heavy as what they were carrying.
However, the duke did not utilize mana.
Even though they were lower in skill than the Duke, if they had moved mana, they would have at least felt the flow.
But what are the results?
Even though the duke ran with a heavier weight on his stomach without using the same amount of mana, the duke only shed a few drops of sweat.
‘What on earth?’
‘What kind of monster is that…’
‘Hehe… As expected, he has skills worthy of my rival.’
“When you are all rested, get up. “We will begin training in earnest.”
“….”
Just one minute.
The late Jisoos, who had barely managed to catch their breath, stood up one by one.
“Each person proceeds with basic training without using mana. Ysera and Zeros, please come this way.”
Soon, two people approached Ethan.
“Your training methods will be a little different. “Hold out your hand.”
The two people who tilted their heads held out their hands.
“uh?”
“Oh my!”
The reactions of the two people were sharply different. This was because the duke grabbed his hand. Soon the two people opened their eyes.
‘Mana…’
‘It’s blocked?’
From the moment the duke grabbed his hand, the flow of mana did not flow smoothly, and soon the mana he could control decreased to about 1%.
The two people were shocked.
‘Controlling the mana inherent in an opponent’s body… What level has the duke’s control reached?’
‘The duke’s hand… was warm…’
Although the reasons for being shocked were completely different. Anyway, both of them looked equally surprised.
“The training method is simple. “The mana you can control right now is probably very small.”
“yes.”
“that’s right.”
“Relax that restriction and move mana as much as possible.”
If the basic skill of knights was body, the basic skill of wizards and spiritists was mana. These are occupations that can show much more extreme differences in skill even at similar levels, depending on how delicately they can control mana.
It was for that reason that their mana was limited.
“Then begin.”
The real training started now.
* * *
“…The first branch of the Capital Magic Council collapsed?”
“yes. “It is presumed that all high-ranking wizards, including the four bishops, have been wiped out.”
The archbishop’s face slowly began to turn red as he heard the words of the second bishop who managed the information.
Advancement of the Kingdom of Heidern.
He came here after receiving an enormous mission from the religious leader. At that time, I was full of confidence.
How long would it take to conquer a kingdom?
In fact, even in the beginning, the process of slowly devouring the kingdom was extremely smooth.
Distribution of dragon race books.
The activities of eight bishops.
Even exchanges with the 7 kingdoms, known as the leaders of the noble faction.
At some point, things that had been going smoothly began to fall apart one by one, as if caught on a reef.
‘The starting point of everything…’
It was when the 8th Bishop returned as an idiot. It was definitely a blow at the time, but I didn’t think it was that big of a deal at the time.
There were eight bishops, and I thought that the weakest of them had been unluckily involved.
The real problem started after that.
In particular, it was very upsetting that the plan to take over the World Tree using Yongrinmok was stranded. Not only did Yongrinmok and Gusu disappear, but the members of the Capital Magic Council, including the six bishops, also disappeared completely.
‘Damn it!’
One of the things that must be obtained from the kingdom was the branches of the World Tree. Since he failed to do that, it wouldn’t be surprising if the higher-ups reprimanded him.
Still, the failure had somehow been hidden from the upper echelons up until now, but now that the first branch of the Capital Magic Association had disappeared, it was no longer possible to just cover it up.
“…Who are you? “Who on earth killed all four bishops and high-ranking wizards?”
“The circumstantial evidence that the Shadow Knights were moving is very clear. “They say even Marquis Lionel has moved.”
Wow!
The archbishop chewed the inside of his mouth.
“The Shadow Knights… they’re the ones I can chew on…!”
It was a group that murdered as many as three bishops. At this point, it was no different from just starting a war.
“Did the leader and vice-leader move together?”
“I guess so. Otherwise, there is no way we could have slaughtered all four bishops and high-ranking wizards.”
The archbishop nodded.
One of the church’s sacred items was given to the four bishops, but it was only a disposable item.
The story is that while tying up the leader and vice-captain, he ended up having to deal with the remaining one and the knights. With that level of power, it was no wonder that the capital magic society was annihilated.
“Is there anyone else involved?”
“After exploring the collapsed basement, it seems that even Duke Ethan has joined in on this matter.”
The archbishop frowned.
The 8th Bishop left to assassinate the Duke and returned as an idiot. After the 6th Bishop, who was aiming for the World Tree, died, the elves had long since moved to the Dukedom.
Even a fool would realize that the deaths of the two bishops and the duke had something to do with it. Not only that, but the deaths of the four bishops are also involved?
“What a damn bastard…!”
“Archbishop, you must be patient. “Don’t you know, Archbishop, that this is the kingdom’s strategy?”
“….”
“If harm is done to the duke here, the kingdom will immediately identify our church as the culprit. If that happens, public sentiment may completely turn upside down.”
The archbishop’s head gradually grew cold. Bishop 2 was right.
The Shadow Knights alone would have been enough to slaughter the bishops.
But why did they bother to accompany Duke Ethan and leave a trace?
They must have wanted the church to attack Ardan.
“…What about calling a duchy instead of a duke?”
“As this strategy has been implemented, the kingdom will also pay special attention to the duchy. If you’re not careful, your tail may get stepped on. Moreover… even if we establish a duchy, there is not much benefit to us. “The best we can do is make the duke angry.”
“….”
“I think it is much better to attack the Shadow Knights than to play into their plans. But… you are currently in the process of a grand plan with Agiles, so that will be difficult right now.”
The archbishop was deep in thought.
The Shadow Knights are not an easy organization. In order to wage an all-out war against them, the remaining bishops and he must move together.
‘What if we go head-to-head with them like that?’
More than half of the bishops will probably die. Is there any real benefit for the church by catching the Shadow Knights like that?
There wasn’t any.
However, the gain was not great enough to sacrifice more than half of the remaining bishops. There was a hidden reason why the Shadow Knights could not be dealt with. The archbishop, who had been thinking hard, came to a conclusion.
‘…Moving with Aguiles is more important now.’
The decision was quick.
“The plan remains.”
“yes. “Archbishop.”
If you proceed with the plan with Agiles and strengthen the three princes separately, Ardan will be able to handle it.
The archbishop left the church.
His steps were heading toward the Duke of Agiles.
