Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 38

Episode 38: Logan did not use the highest-quality potion given to him by the Esperanza duchy’s healer, but put it into his bosom.

‘After all, a duke. This kind of potion is just given to outsiders…’

Market value: 500,000 gold. Despite its enormous price, it was a potion that was difficult to obtain as supply did not meet demand.

I didn’t want to use it on my injury right now.

‘Because it’s cured even if you don’t drink it.’

The evolved force he possessed restored his body, which had suffered serious internal injuries, to the point where it was possible to move in just a few hours.

The healer also thought that Logan had taken the potion.

But it took a few more days to completely heal.

“Please take a look.”

Logan was able to smile leisurely until he left the Sword House, receiving a gratuitous send-off from the Duke Knight, who looked completely different from when he entered.

But it was just smoke, and as soon as I turned around, my face became grimacing.

“Ugh…”

Just walking made me break into a cold sweat and exhilarating pain rang through my mind.

It was such a serious injury that it was amazing that he could even move like this.

“But what I gained was much greater.”

I wasn’t just talking about top-quality potions.

Even in the midst of pain, Logan smiled and put his hand into his chest.

As I groped my chest, I felt a neatly folded piece of paper.

It was a treasure more valuable than a top-quality potion.

– These are the coordinates of my sister-in-law’s communication port. If you get stuck while learning the medium pressure sword, you can contact me.

‘I never thought they would view me this favorably…’

Since he was actually treated as a disciple, it was an achievement that exceeded expectations.

The swordsman’s skills and the relationship with him.

This would be a great help in getting through the difficult future ahead.

When I thought about it that way, the pain seemed to go away.

As my mind became more relaxed, the surrounding scenery finally came into view.

‘It’s definitely cool.’

The mansions in the center of Grand, a thousand-year-old city, boasted their own unique features with various architectural styles depending on when they were built.

It was a landscape where anyone with knowledge of architecture could feel the flow of history just by looking at the exterior.

However, even for Logan, who had no such knowledge, the mansions were beautiful enough to see, and the gorgeous carriages passing by along the road added elegance to the scenery.

‘So we have to keep it from collapsing.’

As he entered the downtown area with a new resolve, a passing carriage suddenly stopped next to him.

“Oh my. Isn’t it Prince Logan? It’s been a while.”

A beautiful voice like a jade bead rolling around.

I turned my head when I heard a voice from somewhere and saw a gorgeous carriage with a silver wolf engraved on it.

Not only was that pattern familiar, but the sparkling silver-haired beauty seen through the carriage’s curtains was also a familiar face.

It wasn’t a good one, though.

“…Lina?”

“Oh my. Were we close enough to call each other by our first names? I’m a little embarrassed.”

okay. We weren’t close. But why are you calling me and causing such a fuss?

“…Princess Wolves. It’s been a while.”

Although it must have been a tone that did not feel welcoming at all, the beautiful woman in the four-horse carriage smiled brighter and continued speaking.

“I never dreamed that I would meet Confucius here. Isn’t it inconvenient for me?”

right. It was uncomfortable. That too a lot.

“It looks like you keep frowning…”

‘It’s because it hurts. ‘You bitch.’

The relationship in this life was not very good, but the resentment from my previous life was still not forgotten.

However, for that reason, the situation was not conducive to blindly opposing Lee or, more specifically, the Wolves family.

“No, it’s just that I have concerns, princess. Then, please take a look.”

I don’t want to talk to you. Don’t bother me and just go on your way.

Logan turned around, openly showing his uncomfortable feelings.

“Ah, I heard a rumor that you are doing business in the capital these days. Has there been any problem in your family?”

Riina’s slightly stiff but still clear voice caught him as he tried to walk away.

“…what do you mean?”

“Well… the money I gave you must have been quite a bit, but I heard you were doing a shameful business…” He had a

shy expression, as if he had brought up the story cautiously, but Logan read it completely differently.

‘Anyway, she’s an annoying woman.’

“Whew.”

I let out a sigh, but there was no time to argue now.

“It’s just that, as you know, I’m a bit greedy for money.”

“Oh, that’s right. Well, if you want to live in a barren territory…”

“That’s right. Then, that’s enough.”

Logan was momentarily shocked, but Logan just shook his head and walked away.

however.

Many, many, many.

The ugly carriage still followed.

“Do you have anything else to say? I don’t have any.”

Riina’s expression distorted slightly at the blatant disregard.

Then he brought up a completely different topic.

“According to the rumors I recently heard, you were active in the Territory Battle.”

My heart went cold at that single word.

Even though he became famous by selling imporik in the capital, he never heard a word about the territory war.

This means that the nobles in the capital do not pay attention to events in the outskirts.

‘But this woman was paying attention…’

If bad luck is fate, then it is not that strange as it is fate.

However, there was no further interest.

“Thank you for your interest in me, but I feel a bit burdened by the princess’s undeserved attention during our broken engagement.”

Riina’s complexion seemed to harden slightly at that answer, and then a fierce counterattack came back.

“I’m more interested in the weapons Confucius used than in you. Do you have any plans to sell them?”

“…It’s not that great of a thing. I’m embarrassed, so I’ll decline that request.”

“Hmm. I see. I understand. I wish you good business.”

“I hope you have a good time too, princess.”

The faces of the man and woman exchanging meaningless greetings were smiling, but their eyes were cold.

Many, many, many.

Logan’s gaze was heavy as he looked at the receding chariot.

‘I can’t believe Wolves are already showing interest…’

Even if we had an old relationship, it was sooner than expected.

However, since the crossbow had a simple structure, it was a weapon that was bound to be leaked at some point.

The best thing to do was just pay attention to security and hope that I could use it a few more times in the near future.

‘Anyway, why is Riina here now? The Wolves Count family is definitely in the East….’ As

I calmly organized my thoughts, leaving my bitter feelings behind, I was able to hear the answer to that question from passers-by.

“Isn’t that coat of arms Count Wolves?”

“That wealthy family?”

“I heard you are engaged to Marquis Heisner, and she is very beautiful.”

The gaze that was directed at Riina naturally moved to Logan.

“By the way, who is that guy?”

‘Write.’

To avoid the attention suddenly focused on him, Logan ran out of the street as quickly as possible.

* * *

“Logan, why is your complexion so… Did you really get into an accident?!”

“The goal is ringing. Speak quietly!”

“What on earth did you do? You sure weren’t rude to the swordsman?!”

Logan smiled and responded to Philip’s earnest gaze.

“Did this happen when you met the swordsman?”

Cough.

With amazing timing, blood burst out of my mouth along with a cough.

“I will also prepare to run away. As fast as possible…”

“Kkkkkkk. Hahaha!”

When I saw Philip with a pale complexion, I burst out laughing.

It felt like the slight discomfort Riina had left behind was pleasantly disappearing.

“Are you crazy?! Now is not the time to laugh! You’re going crazy. What on earth did I do…”

Philip’s complexion, which had turned blue, turned pale this time.

His appearance was ever-changing, as if he had suffered internal injuries while imagining things alone.

Logan grabbed Philip and explained the general situation.

And looking at Philip’s relieved face, he added that he would leave the work entirely to him for a while.

Philip, who felt like he had come back from the dead, could only nod his head blankly at those words.

He thought Logan was resting because of his injury, and he wasn’t far wrong.

However, Logan also had work to do during that period.

‘Intermediate swordsmanship…’

For the first time in a while, Logan gathered his thoughts with a pen and paper in front of him.

If the basic swordsmanship that trains the body to awaken the force is low-level swordsmanship, the swordsmanship performed after awakening the force and using the force is usually called intermediate swordsmanship.

Such intermediate swordsmanship was passed down to any order of knights that was relatively old.

The only difference was in quality.

Although it is called intermediate swordsmanship, there are some that are just tips for using the force more efficiently, while there are certainly excellent intermediate swordsmanship that amplifies the power of the swordsmanship itself and changes the body movements.

The former example could be said to be the current McLane intermediate swordsmanship, and the latter example could be said to be the swordsmanship practiced by the Knights of Esperanza.

The high-level swordsmanship that only auror users could use, and the very few top-level swordsmanships that were said to contain the path from a force user to an auror user, were treasures that even most nobles could not access.

As a result, the maximum level of swordsmanship available to ordinary knights was intermediate swordsmanship, and even then, most knights were unable to learn proper swordsmanship.

‘But in the future, that intermediate sword skill will be easily available.’

That too has been leveled upward.

Ten years later, an imperial merchant unearths an ancient swordsmanship book from the ruins.

A swordsmanship book that ranks among the top intermediate swordsmanships of the modern era.

It was a vision that only the knight would have learned, but the merchant copied the book and sold it.

The swordsmanship book, which was initially sold at a very high price to only a few people, eventually began to be copied on the market, no matter where it came from, and later spread as a public good that all knights on the continent were familiar with.

Afterwards, research on intermediate swordsmanship became active throughout the continent, causing an overall increase in the strength of knights.

‘There’s no need to worry about that now.’

The swordsmanship book was discovered after the Imperial War.

It was a problem that could be dealt with later if his family survived.

What was important right now was that Logan in his previous life had bought and learned that sword technique.

‘Iron-blood sword technique.’

It was a sword method named after the ancient knights who were the original masters of the sword method.

And Logan planned to attach a certificate with the swordsman’s seal to the book that described the sword techniques and provide it to the knights of the family.

‘Then my father will approve.’

Since iron blood swordsmanship is a sword technique that uses the force to an extreme degree, internal injuries could occur during training.

No matter how much Logan himself had raised his reputation through war, it was unlikely that the knights would actively learn swordsmanship, which had such clear disadvantages, if he suddenly introduced it.

However, if the name of a swordsman was attached to it, it was a completely different story.

I also planned to add a little bit of the new sword vision that I had been thinking about for a while.

‘Only force control Hwan-in-gong (換人功) and wave-cutting type 1 first. So much so that my father and Ronian could use it as a secret trick.’

That was Logan’s real purpose.

Passing on the vision he knows to his family in the name of a swordsmith.

However, since I was taught the secret techniques of a true swordsman, things were going better than I had hoped.

Logan was excited and used his pen without hesitation.

‘This is more fun than I thought?’

The process of disassembling and describing the sword techniques he already knew surprisingly caught Logan’s interest.

Soon, as he became completely immersed in his work, his eyes suddenly glowed golden.

And as the golden light became darker, the memories of the original I saw a long time ago came back vividly.

The amplification effect of the senses created by Force Core was also having an effect in these places.

It took only a week to complete the swordsmanship book, which included detailed drawings and descriptions that he could never have done in his previous life, as well as detailed annotations.

* * * While Logan treated his injuries and created a swordsmanship book, Philip continued his business.

And on the day Logan finished writing the swordsmanship book, all of the Imporics he brought were sold.

The money they had in their hands at that time was a whopping 4.1 million gold.

Even if we calculate the cost significantly, the net profit was 4 million gold.

It was unbelievable that the results were achieved in just over a month.

“Wow!”

“Is it that good even though there is no performance bonus this month?”

“Don’t disturb my imagination! If I just keep up this pace, next month…”

Is there any employer who wouldn’t like it when an employee considers his business as if it were his own?

Logan looked at Philip with a happy expression.

“Just calm down the fussy customers until I get back and send the supplies again. Ah! What happened to your job at Kyle?”

“You’re asking so quickly. Well, that’s it. I’ve made it happen on its own with almost no effort. So why not just find a house here? Considering the cost of lodging…” “

No, there’s no work here. “One year. At the longest, it’s up to a year and a half. Just focus on selling Imporic until then. After that, you’ll have to go somewhere else even if you don’t want to.”

“yes?”

“There is such a thing.”

“Is that a secret again? Sheesh.”

Although he grumbled, Philip did not ask any further questions.

At least in this respect, Philip was more comfortable than Rick.

If it were Rick, he would have kept asking until he answered and only kept quiet after getting punched.

Logan was quietly lost in thought, checking his physical condition and reflecting on his plan.

‘If this trend is maintained, Imporic alone will generate over 4.5 million won in profit per month. Even if the popularity fades, 3 million will be enough. In addition, I created a relationship with swordsmanship…’

Thanks to this, I also had an excuse to teach the iron blood swordsmanship to the knights.

I was already excited to see how much the knights’ combat power would increase by the time the civil war began.

So far, everything we set out to do has succeeded beyond our expectations.

‘Then is it now time to buy something?’

Items that can only be obtained in the capital. I was planning to obtain items needed for the territory right away.

‘And now I have to go back.’

Even though only about a month had passed, I missed that barren territory.

“I will definitely protect it.”

Logan’s eyes, looking at the southwestern sky, turned red like the sunset reflected there.
