Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 190
Episode 190 Regarding the request to confirm the identities of the five people requested four years ago, we have confirmed the identities of three of the four unidentified subjects. If you look at the data attached below…(omitted)… that’s it.
– Nox
“It’s unfortunate…”
Logan held his head, thinking that he had a lot to sigh about these days.
Among the power asymmetries between the Empire and Grandia, the biggest factor is the number of superhumans.
And what further aggravated the imbalance and pushed Grandia into complete despair in the past were the five independent superhumans and the noble slayer Victor, who was a cancerous figure in the kingdom.
Among them, Viktor came under his command, and Crowne, the mage of the Artifact Master Slaughter, who boasted a influence of more than two or three ordinary superhumans, died.
Even though he had obtained the research results, that didn’t mean he could ignore the rest of the superhumans.
If things are left like this, they will invade the kingdom again as mercenaries for the empire five years later.
‘Especially Van Johnny, this bastard must be killed.’
Kugit.
Logan crumpled up Nox’s letter and pulled out his hair.
Most independent superhumans were those who had just become superhumans during the Imperial War.
That’s why he became a mercenary after belatedly contacting the imperial family.
‘The probability that he is not a superhuman is much higher now, so now is the perfect time to deal with it.’
The sooner the better.
I wanted to deal with this matter right away.
‘I don’t have time…’
Boom!
“The procession to the Logan Empire. Are you really going to go in such a small number? Even so, there is a thing called family respect…” Just
as my father said when he opened the door without knocking and entered, the date to depart for the imperial capital of the empire was approaching. .
It was a very tight schedule to check various things that had been done in the territory.
‘Well, I don’t necessarily have to do it. Name impressions, and those who should be recruited and those who should be killed. That’s the only difference….’
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just holding a parade to save my family’s face…”
“Father. I have a favor to ask you.”
“huh?”
“There is something that needs to be done in secret. It is something that either I or my father must do personally.”
“At this point?”
“Yes. Absolutely.”
“Ha…what happened again? Tell me.”
A calm voice. Serious eyes.
Padric looked into his son’s eyes, gave up his original business, and sat down to listen to the story.
“There are talented people I’ve been looking for. If possible, I would have to go and recruit them myself, but now that things have come to this, I want my father to go.”
“I?”
“Yes. They are talented people. I think it would be better for me or my father to go.”
“Well, it’s not that difficult. But why do you put such weight on something like that?”
“If they refuse to recruit you, you have to kill them.”
“what?!”
Padric’s expression suddenly crumpled.
“So, if there is a talented person right now, but they offer to recruit him and he doesn’t come, kill him? Me, the marquis of a country?”
“Yes. That’s why I can’t leave it in someone else’s hands. It’s better for me or my father to do it ourselves. The fewer people who know, the better.”
Padric let out a small sigh as he watched his son continue the bloody story in a calm voice.
“Why should I do that?”
“If we don’t bring them in at this time, there is a high probability that they will become a force in the empire later.”
“Only for that reason…”
“They are all talented people who are confident that they will become superhumans.”
At those words, Padric’s mouth fell shut.
The son believed that the empire would launch a war of aggression, and if that prediction turned out to be correct, the drastic measures were understandable.
but.
“Not all people who are called geniuses become superhumans. At one time, I was like that too… hmm. Hmm. That’s why I think that’s too much, don’t you think?”
“Father, do you think Ronian or Viktor will not become superhumans? And Eilen?”
At those words, Padric was speechless once again.
Possessors of overwhelming, unrivaled talent.
Even within the Knights Templar, they are geniuses whose talent is said to be comparable only to each other.
It never occurred to them that they might not become superhumans in the future, as they had already become high-ranking knights before they even became adults.
Of course before that.
‘Should I consider not talking about myself an act of humility?’
A genius who has already far surpassed himself at the age of only 23.
A genius among geniuses who I would believe even if I told him that he had become a superhuman was right in front of me.
After gathering his thoughts, Padric sighed and answered.
“Are you saying that those so-called talented people are geniuses on the same level as those kids?”
“Of course there are differences, but these are people who will definitely become superhumans.”
He could be sure that Logan was just retelling a story from his past life, but Padric could not help but tilt his head.
‘If you have such talent, isn’t it strange that you don’t have any affiliation yet? And how did this child know that?’
However, I couldn’t just ignore it because I was concerned about the amazing performances my son had shown over the past few years.
The son who unilaterally pushed ahead with a strange plan that no one could see had many loopholes and succeeded, creating the family it is today.
Although he was a poor son who could not be called a genius strategist, he still succeeded in numerous things.
It wasn’t just a day or two that I started to have doubts about the context.
But I didn’t really want to dig into it.
‘…I’ll tell you someday.’
There is no doubt that everything the son has done so far is for the good of the family.
So Padrick nodded again this time.
“I understand. I’ll do as you say.”
“Thank you, father.”
Another plan to prepare for the future seemed to be going smoothly.
* * * next day.
“That person over there…”
“Why are you so surprised? I guess he’s a visitor.”
“It seems so far away. Why is it so big?”
“What? Uh uh…?”
Soldiers guarding the eastern gate of McLane Town noticed a huge shadow approaching from the east.
The moment the shadow got closer, a soldier who recognized his identity let out a scream-like yell.
“Luther Kyle!!”
“He’s a superhuman!”
A monster-like superhuman who confronted them during the civil war six months ago.
Those who remembered that intimidating feeling unconsciously rang the emergency bell and screamed at the sight of him approaching alone.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
And the urgent sound of the bell made Logan, who was making plans in his residence, rush out through the east gate.
“Ha, that guy…”
Logan was also surprised, but soon realized what was happening.
– I will provide you with an escort on your way to the empire.
– Hmm. Let’s keep that a secret for fun later.
Luther Kyle, a superhuman who was demoted in rank after the civil war and was forced to serve time in the Order of Esperanza.
Even as he approached the distance where his expression could be seen, he timidly shortened his stride as if something was bothering him.
Due to the size of the face, which was clearly visible even from a distance, and the proportions of the face, it was also possible to clearly read the expression of unwillingness.
Logan, who seemed to somehow understand that feeling, laughed and shouted loudly.
“Lord Luther! If you want to come, come, or you can go back!”
Were you inspired by those words?
Soon, the giant snorted with excitement and walked quickly towards the town.
The closer he gets, the bigger he feels.
Just looking at the muscular bulk of over 3 meters, which he gained by transcending human limitations, gave him a strong sense of pressure.
“Monster.”
“Is that a person?”
“Shh. I can hear you.”
I think I’ve already heard it.
Anyway, looking at Luther Kyle with no expression on his face, Logan stepped forward without hesitation.
“Welcome to McLane, Lord Luther.”
The sharp gaze from the bewildered eyes that had been felt since he approached focused on Logan.
“Are you here because of your orders?”
“…That’s right. He told me to be your babysitter.”
“It’s not a babysitter, it’s an escort.”
“Either that or that.”
“You don’t have to follow me if you don’t want to. I will tell my teacher well.”
bang!
“Are you telling me to become a petty person who breaks promises?”
A superman who can make you feel the ground shaking just by stepping with your strength.
Although he was unable to use his full power in the battle with McLane due to Clayton’s gravity control, the temporary majesty he showed in the final battle was enough to strike fear into those who remember it.
“Hehe!”
“The late Confucius is dangerous…”
Of course, if you are an ordinary person.
“What would be the point of being escorted by someone who doesn’t want to? And as you know, I’m confident that I don’t necessarily need an escort.”
Logan calmly stared into Luther Kyle’s eyes.
OK.
“…If it were an envoy from a foreign country, it would be better to have someone with an average physique than me. But Wicken strongly refused, saying that just looking at your face would make him want to stab you with a knife. That’s why I came.”
“Lord Luther doesn’t seem to feel very sorry for me.”
“How could it not be possible? But…”
Luther, who was hesitating to say something, looked meaninglessly at the sky, sighed, and then swallowed his words.
“Hmph. That’s it. It’s too bothersome to talk nonsense, so let’s go to bed. I don’t mind if it’s a stable.”
“How dare you treat a superhuman like that? I’ll take you to a comfortable room.”
“Hmph. Flattery…”
“Follow me. I’ll guide you. And if you need anything, please let me know.”
“Nothing like that…”
purr.
“…all.”
Before Luther could finish speaking, a sound as loud as his stomach rang out, and the surroundings fell into silence for a moment.
“Hmm. I guess I’ll have to prepare a meal first.”
Kick.
A series of sounds as if they were suppressing laughter were heard from those around them, and the gazes that had been directed at Luther Kyle turned in the opposite direction one by one.
The gap-faced giant followed Logan ahead with much weaker steps than before, and that one small incident erased much of the fear of the monstrous size.
It was just two days later that Logan departed for the Empire.
“Are you really going to go that simple?”
“Three knights, 18 people. A total of 20 people, including myself and Sir Luther. This is enough.”
Logan smiled as he looked at the knights around him, including Viktor, in response to his father’s never-ending worries.
“You’re not talking about the number of people. You’re invited to the emperor, and on your way there, you don’t have a servant or a carriage… I’m afraid that people will say that you’re bringing shame to the country.”
“That can’t be possible.”
Logan received his father’s concerns with a flat denial.
The first purpose of forming a group consisting mainly of knights, excluding servants and carriages, was to move quickly in case something happened.
“No matter what they do, the nobles of the empire ignore our kingdom. I don’t want to bother trying to impress those who will ignore us anyway.”
No matter what he said, they were just enemies that we would have to fight at some point anyway.
He snorted like that.
“…Isn’t this your first time going to the Empire?”
His father’s next question was Logan. He was taken aback.
“Ah… didn’t you go there once before? To get the artifact.”
“Hmm. Yeah whatever. You are the representative, so do as you wish. But…”
Padric’s gaze, still full of worry, soon turned to the other side of the group.
“Lord Luther. Are you sure you don’t mind? Without saying a word.”
“It’s okay. I don’t have a horse to bear my weight anyway.”
I don’t know if it was because of his title or because of his age, but Luther Kyle treated Padric with a semi-
respectful attitude. Although he was rude to others, he was cautious in his every move, and while staying at the mansion, he damaged property. A person who feels refreshing because you can see that he is making an effort not to do it.
Even though it was only a one-night relationship, Luther Kyle showed a very different side from the bad relationship they had during the war.
– It’s because he had Jordan and Juan as his father-in-law, but those guys are that bad. It’s not him. I’m responsible.
After just a few days, I understood the teacher’s assurances.
“Then, Lord Luther. I won’t bother to be considerate. You can follow me,
right?” “Hmph. Of course.”
“Then everyone sets off!”
Heeeeee.
The knights’ horses galloped one after another, with Logan’s horse leading the way.
Kugugugugung!
I believe there is one giant bare in front of them. The group quickly disappeared toward the west, creating a rare spectacle of racing side by side at unrivaled speed.
