Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 237

Episode 237: An army is money.

And usually what replaced that money was food.

Therefore, while growing the military to strengthen national defense, Logan also tried to maximize the productivity of farmland.

Fortunately, he had tried a somewhat expensive but effective method.

Magic water farming method.

In the farming method of improving land productivity by dissolving magicite in water, controlling the appropriate amount was most important.

‘Moreover, at this time when every penny of the budget is a waste.’

But there was a problem.

Although it was a farming method that was implemented at two dams, McLane and Taren, and showed results, it was difficult to determine the appropriate value after only three experiments.

All three dams had different quantities and sizes.

‘In that case…’

In the end, in order to implement magic essence farming on the land under the direct control of the royal family and Esperanza’s land, the only way was to visually check the extent to which mana had been dissolved.

In other words, someone who could see mana was needed.

It’s a matter of talent, not magic or ability.

But in the current situation, since Logan couldn’t be away in person, there was only one person that could come to mind.

But the response to it was not very good.

“Huh? A girl who is now seventeen years old? Even if she is Clayton’s student, that’s a bit…”

Dwayne looked troubled and looked at Logan.

Logan smiled and added an explanation.

“You can assign a separate person in charge. However, it is because the child’s abilities are absolutely necessary.”

“If that’s true, I’ll call you right away.”

Rather, Logan’s worries lay elsewhere.

A mission that requires traveling around the country for three months to protect and use important resources that are top secret.

Even though she’s a wizard, it must be quite difficult for a seventeen-year-old girl.

but.

“I will! No, please let me do it!”

Instead, Victoria rushed forward with her eyes shining.

“…Lia. Did you understand what I said correctly?”

Victoria’s eyes widened slightly when she heard that there was a magicite mine in the country, but after that she didn’t show any curiosity at all and instead only showed interest in the difficult mission.

“Yes. When magicite dissolves in water, it sticks to the soil at a certain rate. And the soil guarantees a good harvest for nearly 10 years. I have to visually check the degree to which mana has been dissolved and adjust the rate. Do you have anything?”

“…Nothing. Still, it might be harder than I thought.”

“Not at all. It’s not difficult at all, Your Majesty.”

Seeing the girl looking confidently at him, Logan felt a strange sense of alienation.

The child was small when I first saw him.

A child who felt like they were brought in as a bonus to gain a rare genius named Victor.

The child who was like that was now standing in front of him as a wizard who used the four circles, looking a bit like a lady.

Although Logan has experienced numerous events since his return, for some reason, it was only at this moment that he could sense that a lot of time had passed.

Eat.

“Yes, I understand. It goes without saying, but you are not going alone. We will have separate escort knights and a main person in charge. You will be responsible for the most important task of checking and controlling the consumption of magic stones.”

“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”

Victoria left the office shouting a silent cheer in her mind, and Logan couldn’t help but chuckle as he wondered why she looked so happy.

‘Finally, I can prove my worth!’

Victoria was overjoyed at Her Majesty’s order.

He was now a full-fledged wizard, a 4th circle wizard who had even caught up with the executioners. Even though he was treated well at the Magic Tower, he was never given a solo mission.

– Because you are still young.

– Just assist. You can do it, right?

– Are you full of talent? Of course I know. So, I cherish it more. Just be careful.

The consideration of those around me was slowly becoming a burden and my self-esteem was getting hurt.

– This is a very important task that only you can do.

His Majesty’s command felt sweet.

‘I’m taking this opportunity to show you. That I am no longer a child in need of protection.’

As Victoria clenched her fists and internally cheered again, a familiar voice was heard from afar.

“Lia! I heard you came to the royal castle!”

“Huh? Oppa!”

“I’m done with work today, so let’s go home and have dinner together!”

An odd-eyed knight with a red and blue face similar to his own approached with a bright smile.

On the outside, her brother, who is called the Ice Knight, has a completely expressionless face, a look he only shows to himself.

Always a reliable protector and the main culprit of overprotection.

But I didn’t want to blame it.

Since that day, which I still remember clearly, I know that my brother has lived his life according to his own standards in everything, so how can I blame him?

It was just sad.

‘Like a fool, now that I’ve earned money, I’ll think about getting married.’

But Victoria just smiled today again, knowing that no one would listen even if she spoke.

“Okay. Let’s go eat.”

And while eating dinner, I made a decision again.

‘Let’s not talk.’

For the first time, it was not a death sentence for the Magic Tower, but a mission that I had to undertake alone as a wizard.

His Majesty also said it was a top-secret mission, so he had a good excuse not to tell his brother.

‘I’m just showing you. Now I can do my part as a decent person.’

But a few days later.

The royal castle arrived for the mission.

“…brother?”

Victor came first and was waiting.

“I heard that you have received an important mission from His Majesty. From now on, just trust this brother. I will protect you reliably.”

“Why…”

“Be thankful for His Majesty’s consideration. It means that He cares for you that much. Of course, not as much as I do.”

Her brother’s smile was as bright as usual, but Victoria could only turn around with a stern expression.

“…Lia?”

Victor tilted his head and quietly followed his younger brother, but Victoria had a stern expression on her face and did not open her mouth for a long time.

The only personnel involved in this mission were 30 knights in 5 groups, Heinkel to lead them, and siblings Victor and Victoria.

And the majority of the knights did not know the purpose or content of what they were doing.

However, given that all members were knights and that the person in charge was Heinkel, the old knight commander who was fully trusted by the king and his father, there was no knight who did not realize the importance of the mission.

However, what they were suspicious of was that there was a female wizard who did not look like an adult at all involved in that important mission.

However, less than half a day after their departure, they clearly realized the significance of her existence.

“We must rest here for a while. After this meadow, there is no place to feed the horses until our next destination.”

“We are running about 30 minutes behind schedule. You need to move at a rapid pace.”

“We have 3 hours left until our estimated arrival time at our camping destination today.”

Even the perfect directions are not enough to even guess how much you have learned.

“Summon Golem!”

At the first camp, the four golems that arose with that simple shout were made to handle the chores.

“Because we have installed the earth alarm magic, you can be on alert for four directions. You don’t have to be on watch, but if you’re still anxious, you can keep it to a minimum.”

It was a simple solution to the problem of not being on watch.

“I don’t know what the mission is, but she is the most important person in this group.”

“No matter what happens, let’s protect that girl first.”

“Okay then.”

The knights, whose long journey became much easier, burst into laughter as they praised Victoria.

furthermore.

“You guys. No kidding, the most important person on this mission is actually Victoria, so make protecting her your top priority.”

With the addition of Heinkel’s words, Victoria was treated as the most important person in this mission, both in reality and in form.

However, Victor, who had been trying to help his younger brother with his work all day, but was completely ignored, had no choice but to look at his younger brother with complicated eyes.

* * *

“We have confirmed receipt of the item.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Hehehe.

As soon as Heinkel turned around, 30 wagons followed him.

The huge carriages were completely covered with black cloth as if to never expose the items inside, and the dwarves who followed each carriage one by one did not exchange a word with the knights, as if they had been informed in advance.

Only after the procession that started like that reached the central plain under the direct control of the royal family did Redbeard Geommaru, the leader of the dwarves who joined, open his mouth.

“His Majesty has personally instructed that the amount to be sprinkled will be decided by the wizard.”

All the knights in the group who heard those words had no choice but to look at Victoria again.

Victoria soon stepped forward with a confident expression and began to carry out her mission, personally leading the dwarves and knights.

The shining powder poured down onto the water.

When everyone was distracted by the sight of starlight pouring down on the ground during a dark night with no eyes watching.

Victoria’s gaze was also ecstatic.

“Wonderful…”

Unlike others, Victoria could see with her own eyes the magicite powder dissolving in the water and the mana sticking to the soil. The scenery in front of her could not help but be even more beautiful.

It was almost like another Milky Way unfolding on the ground under the night sky.

But it wasn’t just about being intoxicated by its beauty.

“There’s enough there. Ten more steps to the right!”

“Stop there too! Take ten steps to the left.”

As soon as Victoria discovered the mana agglomeration phenomenon that Logan mentioned, she immediately coordinated the movements of the dwarves and knights pouring in magicite powder.

Needless to say, the golems moved according to her will.

Victoria, looking at the Milky Way spread out on the ground with her own eyes and directing dozens of people with both hands, looked not only tired, but happier than ever.

And as Victor watched his younger brother, his eyes became increasingly complex.

“I’m sure you grew up well. You both.”

“yes?”

He was lost in his thoughts, but was suddenly brought back to his senses by Heinkel’s hand tapping his shoulder.

Of course, his eyes were still focused on his younger brother, and Heinkel smiled happily when he saw that.

“Confucius, when your Majesty first brought you here, I thought you were just bringing children with unusual appearances, but those young children are already knights and wizards representing the territory… Your Majesty’s foresight is amazing, but you are also truly amazing.”

“…That’s too much praise.”

“No, that’s too much praise. “It’s true.”

Viktor just smiled and lowered his head.

‘Both of you…’

That small word lingered in his heart for a long time.

Only after hearing those words did he feel like he could always hug, carry, and protect him. He realized that his younger brother, whom he thought was his target, had grown up a lot.

– It is not a good idea to blindly follow him around. Those were

the words of his master that he had always heard. As he

pondered those words, Viktor’s eyes were gradually becoming more comfortable.

“What was so cool about it? ?”

After everything was over.

Victoria, who was looking at the farmland sprinkled with magic essence with a blank expression, flinched and looked back.

“Ah, brother…”

“Now you’re smiling. I was just pretending for a while.”

“…I’m sorry. “I’m just saying that because my brother treats me like a child…”

“…I’m worried about you.” “

…That’s what I call treating you like a child.”

Another pouty look in his eyes.

Viktor was inwardly disgusted by that. I hastily changed the topic.

“Oh, okay. I’ll be careful. But what’s so cool about it? “Can you still see something?”

“Ah… of course. “Pretty things are pretty, but what a magical discovery this is…”

Victoria started chattering excitedly from that moment.

Although she is a magician of the Golem Tower, she is also a magician of the earth, and the soil is imbued with mana. He spoke passionately about how mysterious and beautiful it looked and how great its magical value and potential were. He was so excited about the idea of endlessly calculating the appropriate ratio and separately investigating the components of the soil infused with mana that he gave various explanations.

Like that for a long time .

Only later did she realize that there was no way her brother would understand what she said, and she paused.

But,

“You’re really all grown up. My younger brother.”

Victor, with a complex smile that seemed both proud and sad for some reason, slowly stroked his younger brother’s head. I wonder

if this was what his father looked like in his distant memories, even though he couldn’t even remember his face anymore.

Victoria felt like she was going to cry out of tears. She screamed for no reason.

“He’s already grown up a long time ago!”

“Yes, that’s what it seemed like.”

She suddenly realized that her brother’s interference had decreased significantly over the past few days. Then, she saw his sad and sad expression again. And

for some reason, I got grumpy and slapped the hand that was stroking my head.

“So now I’ll protect you! Have you seen my golems?”

“…What?”

“You’ve been through a lot because of me. So now I will protect you!”

A gratitude that was not easy to express.

Mixed with embarrassment, Victoria raised her voice again, contrary to her expectations.

She sighed.

“Hehehehe. Hahahaha!”

Viktor’s laughter, which started out as a laugh, soon turned into a loud laugh, and Victoria, who was watching him, also laughed out loud. It has

already been 7 years since they came to McLane.

The Odd-Eye siblings, who were former slaves, have changed as much as the world has changed, if not more. There was.

And as much as I am thankful for everything that has changed.

‘I will definitely protect all of this.’

The siblings looked at each other and reflected on the same resolve.
