Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 115
Episode 115
“Hmm, that’s right. It’s written over there, Ruspel Castle. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you, Nari.”
“Stop it.”
“Yes! Thank you….”
Sgak.
“Kruk.”
“To the underworld.”
The sword lightly grazed the neck and drew out a fountain of blood.
Logan closed his wide eyes, which were glaring at him with resentment, and threw the furry body into the forest.
At least he was shown mercy by keeping his colleagues alive for three days longer than those who died before him.
“Let your wasteful life become fertilizer for the forest.”
Of course, it will be eaten by animals before that happens.
Logan went down the mountain without looking back.
* * *
“A merchant from Grandia? Why did the merchant end up here?”
“Haha. I guess I took the wrong route. I was going to Ruspelheim…”
“Ugh. If you were going to Ruspelheim and ended up here, you’re completely directionless? Are you really a merchant?”
“Actually, I had a guide, but he suddenly turned into a robber and stopped…”
I killed them all.
He swallowed the fatal truth and trailed off, but when I showed him the empty bundle bag with no actual contents, the soldier nodded with a pitiful expression on his face.
“Oh, that’s right. Tsk, tsk. It’s a town with nothing special, but let’s take a rest. The prices are cheap, so if you have some money, you can stay for a few days.”
He was a good friend.
‘The only good empires are those from dead empires.’
Luckily for him, he wasn’t here for war.
Logan entered the castle, thanking the soldier who didn’t even check his ID.
Even though it is a rural castle that I have never heard of even in my previous life, it is several times larger than the old McLane castle.
It was not simply a castle built for strategic purposes, but a life-oriented castle built so that many people could live inside.
I felt like I could feel the difference from the kingdom even in a castle on the outskirts, so my appetite was already whetted.
Logan looked around, found an inn on the main street, and entered.
Sigh.
“Welcome!”
“One of the owner’s beers and a room. I’ll be staying there for a while.”
When I flicked a 10 gold coin, the inn owner accepted it with a smile.
A sight that would make any soldier who saw the empty bag a moment ago frown.
But fortunately, the owner of the inn was not the soldier.
“But it’s not the accent here? Where are you from and how did you end up here?”
“I’m from Grandia. I’m a merchant, but I took a wrong turn.”
“Tsk, tsk. Well, there’s everything here, so take your time and see if there’s anything you want to buy. It looks like there aren’t many things worth selling.”
“Thank you, owner. Then, could you tell me a little about the situation here?”
The owner, who once again caught the flying gold coin, smiled and opened his mouth.
And an hour later.
“Wizard? There’s a wizard here?”
“So, this is my friend. I thought he was a strange person at first, but the lord treated him very kindly. I heard he is a rare wizard?”
The owner, who had suddenly lost his voice, comfortably explained his goals.
When I tried to get some information, the affable owner grabbed a beer and got into deep conversation.
Thanks to this, I was able to immediately memorize the names of dozens of people in the territory.
I was really fortunate that my goal was among them.
“Hmm. If there is a wizard, I don’t know if he will buy my things. Chern ‘Crowne’? He… Oh no. Where is he?”
“I’m talking about Crow. This guy is young and has a good memory, so would he be a merchant? Cluck. I’ll explain it well, so listen carefully.”
End of cross-checking with information brought by Nox.
Secure Chern Crow’s location.
‘I don’t think they’re using the name Crowne.’
Logan picked up the bundle and left the inn without even checking the room the inn owner had given him.
He probably will never return to this inn again.
“Are you there?”
Bang bang!
“anybody home?!”
Bang bang!
-What kind of guy is this!
Jump up!
“I even told the lord here not to make a fuss… What? This is my first time seeing him?”
An old mansion isolated in a corner outside the castle.
The person who came out of the door was a hairy man with curly brown hair and sideburns whose face was hard to recognize.
The only thing that can be seen as a wizard is his worn-out robes.
There was no trace of the Crowne from his previous life, with his neat, all-white hair and not even a single beard, dangling the finest artifacts.
“Chern… Mr. Crow?”
“But? What are you?”
Fortunately, our irresistible personalities matched.
And to the five-story circular tower (Class) made of mana felt from the heart of that inexorable cub.
‘This guy is right.’
I wanted to hit his head with the Lux I had hidden behind my back right away, so I tightened my hands without realizing it.
but.
“Ah. Haha. My name is Roian Kairos, who came from far away to meet the wizard. Can you give me some time?”
Logan forced himself to smile and spoke.
and.
“Hah, you bastard. Get out!”
bang!
I got kicked out of the door.
“Ha… I have this…”
Logan looked at the sky and let out a long sigh.
I was exercising my patience to the fullest, but one thought kept coming to my mind.
‘Should I kill him?’
The anger of my current life was added to the anger I had endured so hard in my past life.
but.
‘But if you can recruit him, there is no better ally than this. Let’s be patient. Let’s be patient.’
Soothing my boiling stomach, I grabbed the doorknob again.
bang! bang! bang!
“Wizard! I have come from a far away kingdom. Can you give me some time?”
Because he inevitably got a little emotional, his tapping became a little stronger, but his tone of voice was extremely polite.
But this time too, that patience was not rewarded.
No, let alone repay….
I’m going to fall in love!
– Get out of here, you bastard!
Menacing magic burst from the doorknob.
A thrilling shock felt in the hand holding the doorknob.
Logan’s face suddenly hardened.
‘A lightning strike of this magnitude could kill an ordinary person.’
This bastard…
The story about Crowne’s temperament, which I had indirectly experienced and heard in my past life, came back to my mind.
Strong and weak. A typical small person who is weak to the strong and strong to the weak.
The only problem was that, except for a few of the highest ranking figures in the empire, most of them were strong people.
So, the anecdotes about getting involved with him and getting into trouble were so numerous that it was pointless to mention them all.
And as I experienced it myself, I was filled with anger from the beginning without even having to bring up the anger from my past life.
Moreover, Logan couldn’t just turn away in this situation.
He had to solve this problem with this guy as quickly as possible and get back to him.
‘If you don’t want to talk, you have to force it.’
The moment you feel that way.
bang!
Logan’s foot shattered the mansion’s door, sending it flying into the interior of the house.
Kwazizyk.
Traces of magic left on the smashed door flowed down Logan’s body, as if showing the owner’s personality.
However, since it was a magic that could only shock a 2nd circle level knight at best, it had no meaning to Logan.
“Chern Crow. We need to talk!!”
As I shouted, a furry cat came tumbling down from the second floor with a crashing sound.
“What are you? You’re not an ordinary guy!”
Jiyiing.
Three iron ball-like objects emitting a bluish light appeared around the raised hand.
The moment Logan saw it, he couldn’t help but flinch instinctively.
‘Orb of Carnage?!’
What made Mage Crowne most famous was the mass production of low-level artifacts, but in terms of combat, it was those round pieces of metal.
An artifact that protects Crowne’s surroundings at all times and automatically repels enemies.
Although the massacre mage’s combat power is lower than that of superhumans of the same level, because of those cursed items, he showed firepower that no one could match in the massacre of low-level civilians.
As far as Logan could remember, it was also an artifact that was never sold to anyone.
‘No, no. It won’t be at that level already.’
Logan suppressed his momentary shock and smiled.
“Isn’t it too harsh to treat a guest from afar, wizard?”
“Guest? What kind of customer on earth breaks down the door and comes in?!”
“That’s because the landlord won’t meet you, so there’s nothing you can do. I will fully compensate you for the cost of the door. I’m sorry.”
Clap.
When I threw in a money bag full of gold coins, the wizard, who was looking at me with a look of wariness, carefully opened the bag.
And when he saw the gold coins piled inside, he was shocked and opened his eyes wide.
“Hmm. Looks like you have some money, sir?”
“enough.”
“Then we can have a conversation.”
The grumpy wizard guided Logan to his study.
Squeak.
“Now, now. I don’t often have guests, so tea is my taste, but it will be worth it. So why did you come to see me?”
Don’t you know that you are a respectable person?
A common continental language is required.
I felt irritated again, but this was a good level compared to before.
Logan sublimated his anger into laughter.
Grinning.
“I heard rumors about the wizard and came here to propose recruiting him.”
The wizard paused at those words.
“Rumors? What rumors?”
He seems to only focus on rumors rather than a recruitment offer.
Even his facial expression seemed to be stinging a lot.
‘This guy must have committed a lot of sins.’
No, probably not.
It’s just a prejudice caused by anger from a past life.
Logan tried to think as positively as possible.
“I heard a rumor that you are a master of artifacts. I can guess it just by looking at those items.”
“Hoo. Where did you get such a rumor? I came from quite far away.”
It seems like they ran away from afar.
Logan spoke as softly as possible, keeping the corners of his mouth that seemed to be twitching.
“When I was looking for a skilled wizard, the Information Guild told me about the wizard. Well, I can’t even tell you the name of the guild.”
When I told him part of the truth, his face became even more determined.
“Information Guild? Where?”
Eyes that rise to the point of life.
This made it difficult to dismiss it as an illusion.
“Hmm. I’m here to make a recruitment offer, but I guess you’ve committed a lot of sins?”
“What nonsense! How clean I have lived!”
I was told that I lived in a dirty world.
“But you don’t seem to have any interest in talking about recruitment. What would you do if you found out which guild it is?”
“Ah. Well… of course I’m concerned that they bought and sold my information.”
“The information I heard is that a wizard who is good at making artifacts has appeared here in the Ruspell territory. Hmm. Isn’t that your real name? I’d be in trouble if you were a dirty person.”
The current name given by Nox is Chern Crow.
However, the name by which he was known in his past life was Crowne Lanfield.
I don’t know which one is their real name or both are pseudonyms.
“Don’t be ridiculous! How proudly have I lived?”
Is it prejudice to interpret this as saying that the angrier he gets, the more shameful things he does?
‘Regardless of his ability, if he has a trash personality and doesn’t know when to stab me in the back, I have to deal with him here.’
Those things, which I thought were floating metal orbs of massacre, were only class 3 at best when I figured out their power in detail. They were just artifacts that could be made by a class 5 wizard, not a superhuman. If you wanted to
deal with them, it wouldn’t be difficult.
Logan had a good quote . A cold light passed through his eyes.
I have to check.
“Then do you know the name Crowne?”
At that moment, without warning, a red beam of light shot out from the metal chunks floating in the air.
