Episode 15
The family of Count Parslov.
To put it bluntly, at this point, Count Paslov’s family isn’t that great of a family.
Since Yeongji is located on the outskirts, he cannot attract attention, and although he has a reputation for swordsmanship, he is not exceptional.
If it hadn’t been for something special, Count Paslov’s family would have always been like that.
But did you say you don’t know the world?
That special thing happened.
A genius who later ascended to the sword castle, the pinnacle of continental swordsmen.
Ryan Parslov.
Yes, the boy was born.
‘Everything changed from there.’
Certainly, Lian’s talent was out of the norm.
If there is one regrettable thing, it is that he reached the pinnacle of the sword, but he could not become a warrior.
that’s really… ….
It was unfortunate for everyone.
“…Tsk.”
Maybe it’s because I didn’t know how to show it.
Ryan frowned.
“Hey, I know that our territory is forever, but isn’t it a little out of the ordinary to say that?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You just saw Yeongji and your tongue clicked.”
“It’s not like that.”
Certainly, it is true that the county is a bit lacking compared to our territory at this point.
But anyway, it’s the county.
It is not a land that is small enough to be ridiculed or worthless.
In addition, in the future, this land will develop to the extent that it is equivalent to our territory.
…no.
From the point of view of mankind’s hope, it can be seen as a more valuable land.
But why am I laughing at this territory?
“I was rather surprised. It is surprisingly well-maintained even though it is not such a rich manor.”
“huh?”
Ryan’s eyes widened as if he had heard something unexpected.
“You’re saying that your father is an excellent lord.”
I am not saying this because I know the future.
Even at this point, the county of Paslov was well managed by itself.
really amazingly.
“It’s not all about appearances. The facial expressions and overall atmosphere of the residents of Yeongji walking down the street. And the traces that melted naturally… …Not all bad.”
“If you’re doing it because you want to praise it, then it doesn’t matter if you don’t.”
“What are you talking about? I’m not lying about this. For example, the paved road here.”
I paused and pointed to the floor.
“It’s not all, but the mile ore in Helin Forest was used for just the necessary parts. Isn’t it?”
“…Can you see something like that?”
“of course. Such an amount to fill the floor is possible only when there is a merchant who constantly visits and leaves the territory. Besides, Mile Ore is rumored to be difficult to process. Of course, skilled artisans are also needed.”
In short, there are many artisans skilled enough to process mile ore in this territory.
And that’s not all.
In this remote territory, there are inevitably many poor people who have fallen behind.
There are not a few territories that go outside and get crippled by monsters, and there’s nothing they can do… ….
But there were very few of them.
After all, that means that the lord is effectively leading his army and wiping out monsters on a regular basis.
At the same time, it means that the management of public security is thorough.
“To put it bluntly, being flashy on the outside is of no use. What matters is how satisfied the locals are. Will it be more efficient?”
The reason why Count Paslov’s family was able to seize the sudden opportunity was because they were prepared to seize it.
The family of Count Paslov was never a great family, but it was a great family.
“Did you confirm all of that?”
“It is not difficult. If you have a bit of observation, you can make an inference.”
“Hmm.”
Ryan looked at me.
“There was a rumor that this guy was an idiot around.”
“It is.”
“No, why the hell were the rumors so shitty? With this level of observation and skills, why on earth… …“
Because there was nothing wrong.”
There is absolutely no reason to deny it.
Even if you search a little in the first place, you’ll soon find out how much I’ve just lived at this point.
“It is true that I have just lived, and it is true that I have changed. It was true in the past, so I have no intention of denying it.”
“Hmm…“
Anyway, your father is a very capable lord. It’s okay to be proud. Talent as a swordsman is not everything.”
“I never thought I would hear these words from Walpurgis’ mouth.”
Lian laughed and patted me on the back.
“It is as you say. Our manor is great! It’s all my father’s work. It is all true that he is a respectable person and that I respect him!”
“I guess so.”
I know everything.
It was a story I had heard dozens of times from the guy before returning.
But I listened to his bragging without saying anything.
Because they were a really good material to recall memories with him.
– Listen, Mikhail.
Whenever he had a chance, he told me the story of his family.
-I am more proud than anything else of the fact that I am of Paslov’s blood.
Even if now, that blood is all that is left of him.
Or maybe he was more proud of himself because he was the only one left.
…yes desperately.
“…That’s the advantage of our territory. hmm? Hey Mikhail, are you listening?”
“I am listening.”
I nodded and responded moderately to his words.
The drawing he boasted and listened to continued until he reached the mansion.
okay.
Just like before returning.
* * *
Count Dagir Paslov.
The owner of the count family of Paslov and a knight with a high level of sword expertise.
He was now deeply troubled with his face covered.
Standing in front of him was his unconcerned son.
“…Who said you came?”
“Mikhail Walpurgis.”
“No, what is this…The Count, who was looking at his son with bloodshot eyes
, quietly took out the medicine from the drawer and shoved it into his mouth.
“Dad’s medicine doesn’t take that much.”
“…If I don’t eat it, I’ll die, so stop interfering.”
The Marquis of Walpurgis!
A place where the empire’s representative mage family and the famous ‘8th Circle’ mage is the owner.
Parslov was not a small family at all, but compared to Walpurgis, it was a new blood.
By the way, the heir of Walpurgis personally visited this place?
This is no small thing.
No count, however, could ignore the heir of Walpurgis.
What does it matter if you don’t have a title?
He is the next head of the Walpurgis.
The count looked at Lian with an expression that would not be strange even if he lost his breath immediately.
“Huh, it’s calmed down, so keep talking. I will listen.”
“Are you okay? I think you’ll pass out right now.”
“Because it’s okay. I ate a lot.”
“I don’t think so…Even though she was sweating profusely, Lian opened her mouth anyway
.
“As I just said, Mikhail Walpurgis is now on our estate.”
“…what good It’s unexpected, but it’s something you should be prepared for from now on. Where are you?”
“The parlor right below.”
“….”
Hearing this, the Count tilted his head and then took his hand to the medicine cabinet.
“Father, no more sedatives! Go to the goal!”
“Let go! I’m going to be back in a few days because I’m busy with work anyway, but you can just go first!”
With a white face, the count tries to pour a sedative into his mouth somehow, and Lian tries to stop it.
“…Whoa.”
After a while, the Count, who had calmed down a bit, opened his mouth weakly.
“Yeah, I somehow accepted that Mikhail Walpurgis was waiting down here. Any other problems?”
“Yes, no.”
Ryan replied calmly.
“Except for the minor issue of being caught about the dungeon…”
“What? wait a minute Dungeon?”
“Yes, a dungeon.”
At Lian’s words, the Count remained completely stone-like and did not move for a while.
Then after a while.
“haha.”
Isn’t it taking out a paper bag from a drawer with a daring expression?
“…What are you doing?”
“I’ve been doing this for a long time. you do the rest For the sake of my mental health, I think it’s only right that I step back from here… …”
“Ah no, why are you giving up on the lord of a bastard like this! I didn’t even explain it properly in the first place?! I can explain the reason enough to understand, so please don’t say such scary things!”
“Then tell me.”
The Count spoke to Lian with a deep sigh.
“Walpurgis is a family of wizards. And since ancient times, the obsession that wizards have with dungeons has been very large and persistent.”
“Yes, I know.”
“The family of the Marquis of Walpurgis is clearly a family above us. No, it’s not that much, but it’s one of the leading families in the entire empire. If they noticed the existence of the dungeon… …”
Take away.
Either way, or the wrong way… ….
It doesn’t matter.
There were countless tricks that the Walpurgis family could use.
one.
“I’m not stupid enough to not know that, Father. Of course, he offered me an acceptable deal, so I decided to accept it.”
“An acceptable deal?”
“Yes, that is the ‘complete’ Mülière training method.”
“…?!”
At those words, the count opened his eyes wide.
“…what?”
“That means he knows the complete Mülière training method. I made some kind of deal with it.”
At those words, the Count’s face changed cautiously.
“…Are you saying that Walpurgis possessed a perfect training method? Mikhail Walpurgis offered you a deal with it.”
“Yes, and the dungeons on our estate were part of that deal.”
“Have you checked?”
“of course. It was definitely a complete retreat. I only tasted it for a while, but it was amazing.”
“Hmm.”
The desire to rebuke his son disappeared in an instant.
No, if what Lian said was true, it would be enough to praise him.
If it was the Mullière training method, it was worth that much.
“A promise?”
“It was definitely done. You know how big a magician’s promise is, right?”
“yes.”
That means Walpurgis can’t cheat. It’s not the other person, but the successor’s circle that’s at stake.
When you come here, one question naturally arises.
“What on earth is in that dungeon?”
Are you saying that there is a tremendous value in that dungeon that they don’t even know about?
It was worth even betting the invaluable Mullière training method as a condition of the transaction.
“Rian.”
“Yes Father.”
The Count looked at his son with sharp eyes and said.
“I’ll have to talk to Mikhail Walpurgis himself.”

“Butler, why are you so restless?”
“You really don’t know why?”
The butler was looking at me with a puzzled expression.
“Anyway, Count Paslov’s family isn’t easy at all, is it?”
“yes.”
“Not even the next engagement partner of the Duke of Grindel. It is obviously a relationship that is bound to be strained.”
It’s definitely a twisted relationship.
Now that I think about it, it’s strange that I became close with Lian even before the regression.
“Yeah, that would be embarrassing.”
“Even if it’s true about dungeons! Considering how sensitively lords react to dungeons… …”
“I know you well, butler. Are you a lord by any chance?”
“No.”
The butler replied firmly.
Well, what he said is not wrong.
Or rather, it could be said that everything is correct.
However, there is only one blind spot in the butler’s idea.
‘That I know everything.’
How much the count’s family is clinging to the Mullière training method.
Also, the fact that the Count’s family sees the dungeon as a headache due to repeated failed attempts… ….
I know everything.
“are you okay. If you meet Count Parslov alone, everything will become clear.”
“Would the count allow you to live alone? No matter how much you call me Walpurgis… …”
“The butler.”
I looked at him and said.
“Trust me.”
“….”
The butler looked at me quietly and then nodded.
“Well, I don’t think anything will change just because I believe in you.”
“Will it be quite different?”
A lot more than you think.
The butler looked at my answer with an expression that he couldn’t understand.
“I bet the count will come down in the next minute.”
“Hey, you’re saying weird things again.”
The butler laughed, saying something absurd.
However, the laugh was colorless, and I burst out in less than a minute.
“…huh?”
The door to the parlor opened and Count Paslov entered.
“Really…?”
“See, I’m right.”
Even before that person returned, he was famous for being quick to make decisions.
Great mage who transcends by regression
