I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 237
#After returning, the family was ruined (238)
Ameria.
Usually, the thing that shows the vitality of the Dwarven Kingdom in the early morning is the rising heat of the blacksmith shop.
But today was different.
“Breaking news, breaking news! A council member has been assassinated!”
Dwarven youths holding printed materials ran throughout the streets. The blacksmiths who had been making equipment woke up early in the morning to the sound of whales screaming, and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
Kingdom Council.
In fact, it is the highest level organization that oversees Ameria’s policies, laws, regulations, etc. In recent years, there has been talk that the power of the council, which has been showing signs of strength, has surpassed that of the king.
A member of such a council was assassinated?
“Give me one! hurry!”
“Yeah! “It’s 30 coppers!”
The price of a piece of paper, which normally cost 15 copper or less, has doubled. Despite this, the printed material was selling like hot cakes.
[Six members are assassinated!]
Members of the Kingdom Council were found dead in their homes. Among them are not only ordinary members but also representatives who determine the tone of the kingdom’s policy, including Centador, the hammer of fire, and Lord Domain, the rock guardian of Ocenta, the shield of the earth… The faces of the
six members were extremely calm, and an autopsy of the bodies showed that Judging from the fact that his muscles were not tense at all, it was determined that he did not feel anything wrong until just before his death…
The assassin’s weapon turned out to be a sword…
Not only did he break through the numerous security guards at his home, but he was also able to kill masters who were close to superhumans with a single blow. At this time, the level of the criminal is assumed to be above that of a transcendental person, even to the bare minimum. However, there are no masters called transcendents in Ameria. In other words, it is interpreted to mean that the culprit is not a dwarf but another race…
Upon hearing the news, His Majesty the King gave a strict order to find out the truth behind this assassination…
“Huh!”
The dwarves read the document without even being able to breathe because they were so focused, and they all let out an expression of astonishment. Of course, it was also important to the members of the council.
The most important councilor was Muradni, who, no matter what anyone said, was the king of a nation. The next group of people with strong policy power were the four delegates.
This bold assassin killed as many as three of those delegates. At this point, I was starting to worry about whether the council could run properly.
“No way, no way.”
“Don’t tell me. “Isn’t that actually a good thing?”
The dwarf’s face turned red at the words of the blacksmith next door.
“You still say things like that when the kingdom’s lawmakers were murdered?”
“Didn’t I always say that? We must always pay attention to the council’s policies. If you knew what kind of people these people are, you would never say anything like that. “Do you know about the law of symbiosis?”
“Law of symbiosis?”
Soon after, the blacksmith next door began to eagerly explain one of the issues that had come up to the council.
The longer the words continued, the more the dwarf’s face turned as red as a jujube.
“These guys were such bastards?”
“Is that what I said? This is why I say you should be interested in politics. I can still see it now. “If you hadn’t known, wouldn’t you have been just as angry?”
That was correct.
The Dwarven Kingdom was established for some reason!
These guys were practically traitors. A terrible traitor who wants to hand over the country to the enemy!
“You killed it very well! “Kyaak tut!”
“Tsk!”
The two dwarves spat. It was because of the superstitions they believed in.
A superstition that all the dead walk an endless path according to their sins before going to rest.
The reason you spit out phlegm is because you think that the sticky spit will get in the way even a little while you are walking.
Public opinion, which was initially angry at the unknown assassin, gradually began to turn around.
* * *
“What is public opinion?”
“Voices are growing that the deceased delegates and lawmakers should be completely disqualified and even their blood relatives permanently expelled from the kingdom.”
Muradni nodded.
There was no way for worn-out lawmakers to ‘openly’ propose a bill like the Symbiosis Act.
This was one of the bills presented as if sold as part of hundreds of policy bills.
Until now, the balance of power was in the hands of the dragons, so there was no choice but to complain and not reveal the truth, but now it was different. The metal dragons that oppressed the kingdom were all killed.
Now was the perfect opportunity to push out all the dragon power within the kingdom. If you miss this opportunity, you cannot be called a politician.
They immediately started spreading rumors about the symbiosis law, and the aftermath was boiling over as big as expected. The public, who had been angry about the assassin until morning, was now spitting in abundance, saying that the lawmakers had died well.
“okay. Please spread the rumor to every corner as much as possible. “So that even if it is a rural village in the kingdom, they can hear this news.”
They lost their home to the dragon tribe.
I lost my family and compatriots. Anger clearly existed, but more than ten years could have turned that anger into meaningless ashes.
‘It’s been so peaceful so far.’
The long period of peace diminished the dwarves’ anger little by little. That may be why traitors began to appear one by one.
This was an opportunity. An opportunity to once again make the dwarves aware of the dragon clan and make them more cautious about them.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The intelligence agent carefully exited the throne room. Muradni carefully took out the outer shell from his arms.
The outer shell of a tyrant.
It was an item that the duke entrusted with processing. It was impossible to process it here.
By now, other rulers would be searching everywhere with their eyes burning to uncover the secret behind the tyrant’s death. In such a situation, revealing one’s outer skin was almost like an act of suicide. That’s why I adjusted my words.
I plan to visit the Land of Fire again when I have the chance. If you get the help of the religious leader like last time, you will be able to fill the vacant position without difficulty.
His heart was pounding loudly.
I never imagined that I would once again have a material comparable to Ardenheit.
Moreover, the person who would wear the weapon made using this material was the savior who would kill the dragon race. How can you not be excited about this?
The shape of the armor was already flashing in my mind.

Zeno Empire.
Anna’s lively voice rang out in front of the religious leader.
“Voila. “Return to this body!”
“I guess you finished cleaning up cleanly, right?”
“of course. Hehehe. “I’m sure the shadows are quite confused by now, right?” Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
12 knights were sent to disrupt the situation, but that alone was not enough to provide relief.
That was why I sent Anna. She had numerous dolls, and the more she used those dolls, the more traces would become tangled.
“Anyway, the Duke is definitely a pretty guy, right? “It was impossible to erase all traces.”
“That’s okay.”
This was something I had expected from when I hunted the tyrant. Because hunting that guy meant being able to go beyond the level of transcendence, even if only temporarily.
If such power is unleashed, it is inevitable that traces will remain.
However, all the Demon Dragon wanted was to make the traces as blurry as possible. You can tell that Duke Ethan has moved, but you can’t tell that the Duke is the only protagonist on this stage.
Since the 12 knights were not enough, even Anna was brought in, so no matter how shadowy they are, they will not be able to narrow down the suspects.
“Good work.”
After briefly congratulating the Demon Dragon, he stared at the document in his hand. Anna tilted her head at that sight.
“What? “Is this important news?”
“It’s no big deal. “Like last time, they want me to help them with a shapeshifter.”
“The Duke?”
“okay. “The Land of Fire is the only place to process the tyrant’s outer shell while avoiding prying eyes.”
“Land of Fire?”
“A spiritist who sticks by the duke’s side. “She made a contract with the monarch.”
“Have you actually been there?”
“I’ve been there.”
“If there is such a thing, we should go together! “Why did you leave me alone?”
“Because you have no role there. “What can you do to create a new sword?”
“Why isn’t it there? “I also have a blacksmith doll!”
“Isn’t it a low-quality product anyway?”
“I’m sad.”
“It’s something I can’t help but feel sad about. Well… I’ll try to bring it up next time I get a chance.”
“If you’re going to do that, take it out this time. I’m curious too. “The spirit world is actually a place that is not open to the public.”
“It’s not such a romantic space. Do you know the power of the monarch?”
Anna frowned.
This was because the cult leader’s tone of voice was implicitly boastful.
It’s as if they’re saying something like, ‘You don’t know, right?’
“…I do not know! why!”
“Even I would have to use a lot of strength to get out of there. “If you follow along because you find it fascinating, you may close your eyes forever.”
“Is the Spirit Lord that hostile to us?”
“Not really.”
“Then it doesn’t matter? The duke would have no reason to turn against us in the current situation. “I think now is the right time!”
“…ha. “Do you really have to go?”
“I have to go. I’ve been working hard just like our great religious leader said, right? Isn’t appreciating merit a virtue that a good leader must possess? And…”
Anna said after a quick glance at the religious leader.
“We’ll have to check what kind of weapons that person makes from the tyrant’s shell. “If you look at it, it’s probably mana armor.”
“is it. “Then let me tell you.”
“You know I love our religious leader, right?”
“disgusting.”
“To be picky. By the way, aren’t you worried about our religious leader? The Duke’s power is beyond imagination. Even now, if armor made from the tyrant’s skin were created…”
It would be possible to deal with shadows and disasters by borrowing the Duke’s power. The problem was next.
Duke of Ethan.
He was a die-hard sect who hated the dragon race to his core. Right now, they are getting along quite well as they are using each other, but if the shadows and disasters disappear, there is a high possibility that their next target will be a religious order. So I have no choice but to be worried.
Compared to the fact that I was able to subdue him without much difficulty when I first encountered him, now… he
has turned into a monster.
So much so that even Anna couldn’t guarantee her chances of winning even if she did her best.
At her words, a faint smile appeared on the head’s lips.
“I’ll take care of that, so you don’t have to worry.”
He didn’t seem to have any intention of answering how he was going to handle it. Anna grumbled at that sight.
“sifter. “It’s insidious.”
The religious leader was truly a conniving person.
So much so that he has a lot to hide even from himself, who has been with him for a long time.
Anyway, one thing was certain.
‘There is something there.’
Although the relationship is mutually beneficial, the religious leader is giving benefits to the duke to a strange degree.
I’m not sure if it was a compound eye or just a ploy, but it was clear that the cunning demon dragon had something in mind.
