Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 250



Only Noblemtl

Episode 250 Witch (1)

Calia stayed in Lines and waited for a call from Loapra.

Several times along the way, I thought of leading the knights and attacking the underworld… … In the end, I had no choice but to stop thinking.

Because Asher was stronger than Calia.

Even after meeting him for the first time in a while, his power has changed quite a bit from before. Enough to sink a small flying boat with just one magic.

‘If I rushed to help, there would be a high possibility of getting in the way.’

so i just have to wait

I was a little worried about going alone, but I was sure the worst wouldn’t happen.

A mighty undead summoned by the glory of the corpse.

The figure of the wizard who overpowered the existence that Calia could not control still came to mind.

To be honest, Calia couldn’t imagine seeing Asher defeated.

Then, news finally came.

Although it was earlier than expected, Calia immediately met two men who said they had come from Loapra with the knights.

Galliac and Gail.

And Calia received shocking news.

───Asher subdued Roapra… … ?

I was embarrassed for a moment and couldn’t even save face.

No, I expected it, but I never thought I’d defeat Vintert so quickly. Including Grond, the king of the underworld, who was said to be the strongest of all time.

It was disconcerting.

This was a separate issue from faith.

‘Wait, could it be a trap?’

It was a valid suspicion, but it was just a rumor.

Because Samwell, Charlotte, and Aiden, who currently run the tavern in Lines, have proved Galliac’s identity.

He said he was the person who helped Asher and rescued the siblings who were enslaved.

It certainly matched the circumstances I had heard directly from Asher.

In the end, there was only one option.

smart.

“Calia-sama, we will arrive at our destination soon.”

Calia, who was lost in thought, opened her eyes.

Immediately after going out to the deck of the Velos, the large city of Aurople was visible over the small flying boat of Vintert, who was in charge of guiding.

Loapra is down there. The dark side where he had not been able to set foot due to the non-aggression pact was right in front of him.

“Haile, you command the 2nd and 3rd squads to protect Velos. Anyone who approaches without permission will be considered an enemy, no matter who they are.”

“Yes, Lady Calia!”

“The rest enter Loapra with me. And Ferney and Karanz… … .”

“I am going to see my brother.”

Karans glanced at Ferne.

He was asked to escort Ferne. Of course, on the way to Karance, she must also be with her.

Fernet replied as if it didn’t matter.

“I will also go down to Loapra.”

The strength of Karans is well known.

There was also Blue, who claimed to be an escort in her arms. He was also convinced that Loa Fra had been subdued by Asher.

A combination of these grounds, an informed judgment.

“Of course, as long as it doesn’t disrespect Calia-nim.”

“Does not matter. I have enough energy to protect just one of you.”

Whoops.

Soon after, Vintert’s flying boat and Bellos landed one after another.

The carriages from Aurople arrived in a row.

When Galliac and Gail sent out a signal, the 1st squad of the White Knights, including Calia and Vespa, and Karans and Ferne descended to the ground.

Galliak got on the lead wagon.

“Since I’ve done all my work, I’ll go and rest first. Aigoo, it’s saksin.”

“I understand, Mr. Galiak.”

Galiach left first.

A member of the Vinterts who brought the wagon whispered to Gail.

He nodded, looked at Calia, and politely pointed to the carriage.

“They say a new king is waiting for you. So, I will guide you straight to Loapra.”

A new king… … .

Thinking over the unfamiliar name, Calia and the others boarded the wagon.

The Vespa and the Baekgyeol Knights mounted their horses and formed a formation as if wrapping a wagon. Since it has not yet been determined that it is not an enemy, it was a wise response.

dag dag, dag dag.

I crossed the gates of Aurople without any inspection.

As soon as I ran through the road secured in advance, I soon arrived at the entrance of the underpass, went down the stairs and boarded the magic elevator.

An underground city can be seen through the moving windows. Calia looked at the street as if possessed.

‘This is Roapra… … .’

It’s different from what I thought.

I thought it would be a terrible place, but it has its own beauty. It was like seeing the streets of a big city at night.

But there was one part that bothered me.

The sight of countless people busily moving and rebuilding buildings, and the collapsed gray castle seen in the distance.

It was clear that this was not the usual scenery seen in Loapra.

“Could Asher be like that?”

“… … It is now in a state of great reconstruction.”

Gail cautiously agreed.

His face, which had always been polite, turned white. It was enough to indirectly understand how terrible the situation was at the time.

In particular, Ferne understood that feeling better than anyone else.

cooong.

Meanwhile, the elevator reached the ground.

The moment I slowly set foot in Roapra, a man with a familiar presence approached me.

“Ah, brother!”

A greeting from Karans full of joy.

Verden.

He was in pristine condition without a single wound.

I expected it, but that’s why I laughed out loud. I thought I would be fine after attacking a dark area alone that no one had touched.

Beside him, Gail bowed deeply.

“As you commanded, I brought the party.”

“Good work.”

Familiar faces faced Verden.

Except for Karanth, who had a big smile, everyone was dumbfounded. I know I have a lot to say, but this wasn’t the place to have a conversation.

“Follow me.”

The place Verden pointed out was the castle of Wintert.

* * *

As always, Verden explained the situation succinctly.

Excluding the details, only the important parts at a glance. Calia, who had been listening quietly, put down the teacup she was drinking.

“So Asher, you’ve become the king of this place.”

It doesn’t matter whether it’s political power or financial power.

The throne of Loapra is reserved for only the strongest.

If you want to usurp the throne, just like Grond did in the past, you can usurp the throne yourself.

Following that tradition, the current owner of the underworld became Verden.

‘Asher is the king of the underworld!’

Suddenly, Fernet recalled the past.

When I first met him, I never thought he would become such a great person… … No, I never dreamed that he was such a great person.

Now, not only did he obtain the artifact of the King of Darkness, but he also conquered the shadow of the kingdom single-handedly. It stood tall not as a kingdom, but as a world-class powerhouse.

Looking back, my heart was agitated for some reason.

Verden said.

“Although it is nominally regarded as such, I do not intend to live and reign over Loapra.”

“May I ask why?”

“Because it’s not the power I’ve built up just to rule the dark side.”

The scale of Roapra was quite large.

If he governs this place, he will be able to make huge profits like Grond. And the influence in the criminal world must also be considerable.

‘But the power itself has nothing special.’

Not in kingdom terms, but in world terms.

For example, if you fight against the fighting forces of Bohemirn’s Tower, the underworld, including Vintert, will be annihilated within a few days.

If there was a Grond wearing an artifact, he would be able to hold out to some extent, but it was only a matter of time before the officials of the Mage Tower stepped forward.

Carrying such people around was like a burden to Verden.

It is true that the power of the Bohemirn Mage Tower was lost due to the runaway power source and the war against the Black Hour.

However, even so, the power of the Mage Tower, ranked 4th in the overall evaluation and tied for 2nd in the military evaluation, is still strong.

“Just go dark… … It’s amazing how you don’t feel arrogant. Well, that’s for sure if it’s you. But why did you call us here instead of coming to Lines?”

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

“ask?”

Just then, Robert came in.

She brought the papers in her hand in front of Verden.

“Asher, this is the list of illegal slaves you mentioned.”

“If you are an illegal slave… … no way.”

At Calia’s question, Verden nodded.

The reason why Verden made Galliak his contact on his behalf was because he had two things to do in Loapra.

‘One is the reconstruction of Loapra.’

I wouldn’t know if it was a criminal organization, but I couldn’t leave the town where civilians live like this.

For that reason, the collapsed and distorted terrain was restored to its original form with , and the collapsed building was being reconstructed in real time under Robert’s management.

‘And the other an illegal slave.’

To be honest, Verden had no intention of changing the underworld system. Even if I didn’t like the slaves themselves, I had no reason or room to take responsibility for the lives of all of them.

In the first place, Verden is neither a scholar nor a revolutionary.

But things have changed.

───Robert, are there people doing human experiments here?

───… … Yes.

Loapra is infested with all sorts of criminals.

Of course, there are wizards who cross the line among them. In the past, Ruing Costa tried to give Aiden and Charlotte siblings to Verden as a gift.

───Find them all.

Verden moved Vintert to find out all the illegal slaves, and directly punished those who conducted human experiments.

There were those who sought forgiveness and those who resisted, but there were no exceptions to Verden’s mace.

However, the slaves secured in the process were a problem.

It’s impossible to send them back to their places just because their business is over, and if they are left alone, an environment in which human experiments will be repeated will soon be created.

So I decided.

At this point, I decided to completely abolish illegal slavery.

He never wanted to be king, but at least for now Verden is the ruler of Loapra. He, of course, had no objections.

“The price has already been paid with Vintert’s finances, and the property to be given to individuals is ready, but housing is a problem. There are quite a few of them, and we can’t just leave them to live in Loapra.”

“Um, that’s right.”

Calia nodded as if she understood.

“Cooperate with the mayor of Aurople in the name of the Marquess of Esperensa to take charge of the migration of the villagers. Certainly this is the specialty of the nobility. Alright, leave this to me.”

“Thank you.”

“There is no need to say thank you. Because it’s what I want to do.”

aka emancipation.

It was the right thing for Calia. She looked at Verden happily.

Verden then told Ferne and Robert to help Calia. And he asked Karanth to escort him like he is now.

“Leave it to me, Mr. Asher.”

“We will proceed without a hitch.”

“It is simple, brother.”

It was an easy answer.

Then, Calia asked.

“Asher, I want to ask you something.”

“What is it?”

“if… … Are you thinking of leaving the kingdom?”

Everyone listened.

Verden answered in a calm atmosphere.

“That time is close, but not right now. Because there is still work to be done.”

* * *

Leonil is looking for a person with a special trait for some kind of experiment, and he firmly misunderstands that Verden is the person.

If you use this as bait, you should be able to meet Leonil.

‘But it’s ambiguous.’

According to Robert, Grond directly delivered the unique trait holder to the court mage. I’ve never had Leonil step forward and take me away.

That means it’s difficult to meet him outside.

‘How can I get to Leonil through the camouflage, but… … It’s just as difficult.’

I didn’t know if the royal capital was used as a stage for magic warfare, the casualties would be out of control. If possible, you should drag Leonil to a place where there are no people around.

But no clear way comes to mind.

Just as Verden’s worries deepened, he felt a presence outside.

Gail was standing in the hallway when the opponent pulled the doorknob with telekinesis without having to knock on the door.

“What is going on?”

“Ah, yes. Mr. Asher has a visitor.”

customer?

There was no one that came to mind.

Gail spoke softly to Verden, who tilted her head.

“This is Cland, a dark merchant.”

* * *

Cland, who came suddenly, was not alone.

There was a man with golden hair and green eyes and a masked man sitting helplessly in a wheelchair.

Verden sat facing the three of them, feeling a strange feeling.

“Long time no see, Asher. No, should I call you Your Majesty now?”

“I have no intention of calling myself a king.”

“… … Yes, yes. This underground city is too small for you to overwhelm Loapra all by yourself. I will be careful with expressions.”

Cland lowered his head apologetically.

Was it because he found out about Verden’s true ability, or was there another reason? It was more cautious than before.

“But what are you doing here?”

“That’s because you have business. But before we get to the point, there’s something I need to say. Do you remember the first time we made a deal?”

First transaction with a black trader.

It was an exchange of ‘information about a certain person’ given by Fernet with the list of auctioneers.

Verden recalled the murmur of Kland he had heard at the time.

───Yes… … I see. Was she dumped in the slums with her head half burned? That’s why I couldn’t find it no matter how hard I tried. It will be completely different from the appearance I remember in the first place… … Well, well, I was alive.

Why did Cland bring up the story at that time?

Verden’s gaze turned to the man in the wheelchair. Burn marks were visible around his neck, not covered by his mask and clothing.

Similar to the one on Cland’s jaw.

“The person I was looking for then… … .”

“You’re also quick-witted. That’s right. It is this friend.”

Kland slowly unmasked the man. His outward appearance was terrifying.

The placenta on his head and face was covered with burn scars, and it seemed that even speaking his voice seemed difficult as if it had melted down to the inside of his neck.

“eww… … uh… … .”

One remaining pupil looked directly at Verden. There was gratitude in those eyes.

Kland stroked the man’s head.

It was a touch entangled with complex emotions such as sadness and anger.

“My name is Camion. my disciple. He went missing in the past and his whereabouts were unknown, but we were able to find him with the information you gave him about Ferne.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Verden narrowed his eyes.

Through this, it was impossible to know what Cland wanted to say.

“I know what you are thinking. My visit must have been sudden and questionable. But I can’t say that all of this has very little to do with you. Knowingly or unknowingly, it is connected to your actions, such as resolving requests from the Marquis of Esperensa.”

The burnt Kameon, Cland hiding his identity, Leonil’s experiment, and even the Marquis of Esperenza trying to figure it out.

“… … .”

“The reason I came here is to address that question and introduce you to the only person I can ask you for. I am the one we truly serve.”

There was deep loyalty in his words.

It was not directed at the Marquis of Esperenza.

“Lorian.”

The man, Lorian, opened his magic.

Verden sharpened his senses.

to respond to anything.

However, there was no hostility to be found in his magic. like… … Verden felt as if he was being led somewhere.

This was no ordinary hierarchical magic.

“… … A peculiar trait?”

“It’s a special trait called psychopathology. If you accept Lorian’s magic, you will be able to meet him in the spirit realm. Of course, I can’t help it if you refuse.”

Cland handed over the option, but in fact it was no different from forcing it.

A person with a unique trait named ‘Lorian’.

Leonil’s experiments whose ultimate purpose is still unknown.

The identity of the clan and the person he serves, someone more than the Marquis of Esperenza.

‘I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested as a wizard.’

The trouble was short-lived.

Verden closed his eyes instead of answering.

It was never about trusting the Cland. He was confident that he would not mind entering the spirit realm.

Because you can get away anytime.

As he gradually accepted Lorian’s magic, his mind began to be drawn into darkness. Cland’s voice echoed in my ears.

“Remember me. We are not enemies.”

Consciousness immediately flashed.

Before he knew it, Verden was standing in the middle of the garden in the vast darkness.

I felt the warmth of the sun through my skin, and the scent of flowers and grass crossed my nose.

‘I can’t imagine building a mental world this sophisticated.’

If you are a spirit world wizard, it is clear that you have reached the state.

Just as Verden looked around, a woman walked out of the darkness.

Platinum colored hair and eyes. The sheer dress she is wearing is also dyed in the same color. She could tell at first sight.

That this woman is the Cland’s allegiance.

“Nice to meet you, Asher.”

The woman stopped walking.

“I am the first princess of the Estirian royal family, Silis Riven di Estria.”

Silis lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and made her bow.

A look that suits the word nobility more than anyone Verden has ever seen. Then she smiled at her Verden.

“Please call me Sillis.”
