Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 215

Episode 215: A father and son who met for the first time in a long time had a lot to say to each other.

So, after guiding Bourdelle to the place where he would stay right away, they turned around and looked at each other and asked.

“What happened?”

“What happened? Cancun and Banzoni?”

“….”

“….”

When two pairs of similar red eyes met, the younger one smiled and nodded.

“Yes. I will tell you first.”

Logan spoke openly about his experiences in the Empire, the process of becoming a superhuman, the subjugation of the rebels, and his work with the king.

While listening to the long story, Padric was busy nodding his head, sometimes with an expression of admiration and sometimes with a serious expression.

Then he finally sighed.

“Isn’t that already too much of a strained relationship with His Majesty? What do you plan to do from now on?”

“I intend to change the atmosphere of the country itself.”

“atmosphere?”

“Yes. If you go against the trend I have created, you will also go against the public sentiment.”

“It’s possible… or even if it’s possible, isn’t it only temporary? It seems like I’m handing over too much burden to the old swordsman…”

Padric couldn’t shake off his worried expression, and Logan also agreed with him with a small sigh.

Then, Padric shook his head and spoke as if he were lamenting.

“Power is scary. A person who was known as a brilliant prince can change so much in less than two years…”

“Not even two years. Even before I went to the empire… ah…?”

Logan, who was agreeing with a bitter smile, suddenly had a strange thought.

‘…So, is it normal to be hostile to the person who put you on the throne less than a year after coming to power?’

A question that had not occurred to me at the time, when I was too busy rushing through the situation as it was.

However, when I realized that something was strange, the strangely uncomfortable feeling did not go away.

As I questioned this, I found the guy who was always by the king’s side particularly annoying.

‘Did you say Cleo? It’s definitely weird. I guess I should ask them to look into it. Even if it’s a bit unreasonable.’

That’s how I organize my thoughts.

Padrick, seeing his son’s rapidly changing expression, asked worriedly.

“Is there something on your mind?”

“Oh no. By the way, why did you bring only Bourdel? Banzoni, but I thought it would be easier to hire Cancun since he is a mercenary.”

“Ha… that guy started an argument openly.”

“yes?”

My father’s short sigh contained all kinds of complex emotions.

“He said he has no intention of being hired by a country kingdom where he doesn’t even know where he is as an important person in the empire. If you really want, he said he will accept temporary employment for a month….” “I will

hire you for at least a month and persuade you.” You should see it.”

I couldn’t help but feel regretful.

In fact, in the future, Cancun was the person who united the numerous mercenary guilds in the empire into one and was called the Mercenary King.

Of course, that was over ten years after the Imperial War, but he was an outstanding talent.

however.

“I made 1 million gold in one month.”

Logan’s eyes, which had been sighing in a sad tone, changed drastically.

1 million gold. It was a ransom offered as a joke as a condition for inviting a 5th circle wizard.

But the Force user demands that as a one-month ransom?

“…He was crazy. Oh, that’s why we started a fight.”

“That’s right. The report didn’t mention his personality. Well, it was rather convenient for me that he started the fight like that.”

Appointment or death.

Padric laughed, saying he had no idea that the conditions his son had promised him would be so easily kept.

“He was overflowing with confidence as he had only just reached the top level. Little boy…”

Padric once again thought of the mercenary in his 30s who had been pushing him so hard even though it was clear that he had only recently reached the top level.

Even during the fight, as he watched the guy improve moment by moment, he completely understood what his son said, and in the end, the guy passed away, having his heart pierced by the nobleman of the country kingdom he had ridiculed.

“Thanks to that, as soon as I left the city, I was chased by that mercenary group. Without Bourdelle’s help, it would have been difficult to return.”

Only then did Logan understand the half of his father’s face.

“Thank you for your hard work….”

“I’m not finished talking yet.”

“yes?”

“Because the guy you mentioned, Banjoni, is the leader of Rugalheim’s integrated crime organization Evil One. Ha… even thinking about it now, it’s absurd. The leader of the criminals is a superhuman.”

“Superhuman?!”

“Yes. That Banjoni guy was already a superhuman. If he had caught me approaching to kill him, I would have been the one killed.”

Padric gritted his teeth with a stern expression.

“Huh…”

Logan laughed and let out a small sigh.

I thought that might be the case.

Only four years until the Imperial War.

Rather than suddenly becoming a superhuman four years later, it may be more likely that you were already a superhuman before then.

‘But if that were the case, given Banjoni’s personality, his identity would have been laundered already…’

My father immediately resolved the question that arose in my mind.

“At first, he said he was looking for a way to get to the sunny side and actually actively asked to be hired.”

“You mean that Banzoni?”

“Yes. I changed my mind right away when I said I was a noble of the kingdom, not the empire.”

“Hmm.”

“Anyway, I asked him to help clear out the pursuing Cancun mercenaries, and he was happy because it gave him a lot of money. Thanks to him, I became a beggar.”

“It was fortunate.”

“Yes. They gave me an excuse so I was able to escape from the monster. That little monster.”

Logan nodded in agreement and recalled the information about Banzoni.

Although he is not a dwarf, he is short enough to be similar to him. A huge mole takes up half of his face. And shiny gray eyes.

That was the symbolic appearance of Banjoni, the Evil Sword that would become infamous in later generations.

A superhuman who said that his complex about his appearance was what motivated him to persistently improve his skills.

If he had stopped there, he would have become a model of human victory as a superman who overcame poor physical conditions, but as a result, he committed countless crimes by expressing his twisted desires against the powerless.

In the end, five years after the Imperial War, he became such a heinous criminal that even the empire, which valued talented people, issued an order to kill him and kicked him out.

‘He was someone who definitely had to be killed.’

Aside from its humanity, the trait it has developed is the power to specialize in massacring those who are weaker than it.

Because he was a superman who had a huge impact on the battlefield in a completely different sense than Bourdel.

“Is he still in Rugalheim?”

Although he knew what his son’s glistening eyes meant, Padric could only shake his head.

“He must have already disappeared to launder his identity. He laughed and said it was the last back alley request.”

“Wow, that’s too bad.”

He will participate as a superhuman mercenary in the Imperial War that will take place in 5 years, no, 4 years from now.

‘To minimize the damage caused by it, I have to kill it as soon as it appears.’

As a father, he did his best and even went through an unexpected life crisis.

To say any more would only be like criticizing someone who worked hard.

“It’s shameful. If only I had more skills…”

“Absolutely not, father.”

Logan smiled, hugging his father’s shoulder, who had a stiff expression on his face.

“You did the right thing by killing Cancun and bringing back Bourdelle. Thank you for your hard work. I will take care of Banzoni.”

“Yes. I believe it.”

“yes.”

Although there were some things that were a little different from expectations, preparations for the future were still progressing little by little.

* * *

After that, Logan got right to work creating the flow he was talking about.

The overall globular dam and repeating crossbow that developed the McLane. And the criteria for selecting soldiers were made public throughout the kingdom.

And the response to it was hot.

– This was the secret to the strength of McLane’s soldiers.

– A new farming method that turns wasteland into farmland.

– If we have this, we too…!

Dam construction began in all territories where river water could be drawn in to create a dam and there was wasteland.

In most of the kingdom’s territories, the criteria for selecting soldiers changed all at once.

Of course, there were places where you could hear the cries of the residents who were forced to work on construction work even during the busy farming season, but the kingdom as a whole was clearly changing.

Moreover, Logan’s declaration followed, which would make the flow of change even greater in that situation.

– If you lack the know-how to build a dam, I will come directly and help with design and construction. If it is difficult due to your immediate financial situation, I will lend you money.

Of course, financial help to other nobles.

– If you have any questions about the soldier selection and training process, I will send you an article and clarify it myself.

He carried out a policy of transferring know-how so aggressively that even McLane’s vassals found it difficult to understand.

Thanks to this, all the nobles who owned the estates cheered and tried to follow the flow created by McLane.

Even the creation of a female army, which was thought to be difficult to accept in Grandia, has some people following suit one by one.

Even Logan was surprised by that.

‘I thought that prejudice would not be easily broken.’

The first female knight, Eileen Floyd, is Logan McLane’s fiancé.

Strong women are the trend of the new era.

No matter how much he did, he could not have guessed that this single rumor that started in the kingdom’s social circles would gradually grow and lead to change.

These changes were Logan’s intention, but they also clearly showed that McLane was a family leading the flow of the kingdom.

For practical reasons, regardless of political or military reasons, it was now visible that the nobles who opposed McLane had disappeared from this country.

And in the meantime, Logan received a report that his two goals had been accomplished.

[Branches have been installed throughout the kingdom.]

“Good job Philip.”

Creating upper branches openly throughout the kingdom.

[We planted people next to most of the nobles in the territory. Now, no movement of the kingdom’s noble families will be able to avoid our ‘eyes of flame’.]

“Well done Damian.”

A private information network was established.

All of this was achieved in just half a year.

Those days were so hectic.

When I looked out the window, I saw the first sun of the new year rising through the white snow.

‘Three and a half years until the Imperial War.’

The passage of time felt so fast that it made my heart suffocate, but now I was slowly gaining confidence.

“Now the flow has been created. All we have to do is accelerate it further.”

When Logan smiles like that.

There were also people who frowned for the same reason.

bang!

“Who the hell is king? Who!”

As soon as the king entered his private office, he slammed the bookshelf and vented his anger.

“Why is this guy constantly increasing his troops during times of peace…!”

The king, who was letting out the anger boiling in his heart, saw the necks of the waiting attendants shrinking, so he suppressed his anger and hid what he wanted to say.

Then he cleared his throat and looked around.

“Hmm. I guess the stress of state affairs made me a little excited. You guys should leave now and call the head of the inner palace.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

As the attendants disappeared with a reply as if he had been waiting, the king, who had been acting calm, once again walked around the room with a nervous expression and thought of something.

– Your Majesty. This is Cleo.

“Come in!”

Ki-i-i.

A middle-aged official with an ordinary look entered through the open door with a cautious rubbing sound. He then came close to the king and knelt down.

“I heard that you were looking for your majesty.”

“Yes. I called you because I wanted to hear your opinion.”

“Yes?”

“Isn’t making women soldiers ruining the tradition of this country?” ”

Oh yes… of course it is.”

“It is useful in this rich country. What about expanding the rice fields by drilling holes in the mountains?”

“…Yes?”

“It’s not something that harms the spirit of the country for no reason!” ”

That’s right.”

“Yes. Even though he says such valid things, the ministers only take his side. There is nothing I, the king of the world, can do! Do you think this makes sense?!”

In the face of the king’s unstoppable anger, Cleo just kept lowering her head.

“They are just ignorant people who cannot understand His Majesty’s opinions. Don’t worry.”

It is not the king’s right to interfere in the internal affairs of the nobles of a fiefdom. Everyone is following a policy that is actually beneficial, but anyone who refuses alone is a fool who does not deserve to be a lord.

Instead of telling the obvious truth, Cleo I simply pleased the king and comforted him.

It was the behavior of a typical treacherous person, but the king was only willing to do it.

And only after a long time had passed.

“…I feel better now. As expected, I’m glad I have you.”

“No, Your Majesty. If my presence can ease your Majesty’s worries even just a little bit, then what can I not do?” The

king smiled at those extremely flattering words and looked back at him.

“Huh… Okay, that’s why it’s even more frustrating. “I wish my subjects were at least half as good as you.”

“Isn’t it inevitable as Lord Logan McLane’s influence is so strong?”

“Yes. That’s the biggest problem.”

“Your Majesty…?”

“I’m sure we’ll have to do something. It can’t go on like this.” He

looks calmer on the outside.

However, the dangerous flame rising in the king’s heart makes his eyes look increasingly strange. was taking it in.
