Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 251

Episode 251 Witch (2)
1Princess, Silis Riven of Estiria.
An unfortunate princess who was clever enough to be called a genius when she was young, but her brain was damaged due to the aftereffects of an explosion. Her people despise her as her doll, who lives her whole life as if she were dead in her wheelchair.
All she had left was an extreme self-defense mechanism.
‘That’s all I know.’
The woman in front of me, who introduced herself as Silis, was completely different from the rumors. Far from being in a wheelchair, she stands on her own two feet, her platinum eyes gleaming with firearms.
It’s clear that he’s a wizard, seeing as he can feel the magical power… … Her misty haze made it impossible to detect any detail.
It seems that he is not a normal human being.
Perhaps Silis is also a holder of a peculiar trait.
Verden, who had made an instant judgment, similarly prepared his manners.
“My name is Asher.”
Silis paused.
“You are calmer than I thought. A little more, I thought you would be surprised.”
“I’m kind of used to that.”
Unexpected, but that’s about it.
Verden’s life was dynamic and shocking enough to be shocked to learn about the princess hiding her identity.
It was even more so after the magic battle with the manager, the alter ego of the King of Darkness, in the Tomb of the King of Darkness.
“is that so… … okay.”
Sillis, who nodded slightly, waved her hand.
A white table and two chairs appeared in the middle of the empty garden.
On the table were steaming tea and sweets arranged neatly in bowls.
“Sit down for now. The conversation will be long.”
The two sat across from each other.
Silis put her hand on the teacup first, and Verden did the same.
I tasted the tea and savored the sweets. Even though it was his mental world, Verden was interested in the fact that he felt a sensation that was almost no different from reality.
“… … .”
Silis stared at Verden.
Even though he had not yet removed his suspicions and vigilance, that composure was not because he looked down on Sillis. It must be the certainty that you can get out of this space at any time.
Man, it’s not easy.
Despite being in someone else’s mental world, it had a clear reality.
I feel a stronger mental power than anyone I’ve ever seen in Sillis. Sensing that she was a more difficult opponent than she expected, her eyes shook slightly.
Sillis, who soon regained her composure, parted her lips.
Start lightly.
“First, Asher, I want to thank you. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, we’ve been able to achieve so much thanks to you. Not only did I learn about Leonil’s experiments that I hadn’t realized, but I even dealt with Grond, the king of the underworld who was an obstacle.”
“I didn’t mean to ask for thanks.”
Verden’s voice sank.
His eyes flashed blue.
“More than that, what made you create this place?”
want the main idea
It was what Silis also wished for.
“I want to ask for your cooperation.”
“Cooperation?”
“If you say it’s difficult, you can say it’s difficult, and if you say it’s simple, it’s a simple request. But before that, there’s something you should know. What Leonil’s experiments were, why I lived as a doll, etc… … The beginning has to go back 27 years.”
27 years ago.
I had a guess.
‘A war between the Republic of Beldirn and the Kingdom of Estyria.’
As the Prince of Riviant said.
War broke out due to the kingdom’s tyranny, and the corrupt kingdom couldn’t handle the republic.
Some struggled desperately, but in the end they were outnumbered by a series of defeats. At that moment, a strange man was appointed as the new chancellor.
As unknown wizards stepped forward, the situation changed dramatically, and conversely, the kingdom invaded the Republic’s territory.
‘But the truth was devastating.’
The Listener of the Ark says.
The new chancellor was a member of Gluttony.
He received permission directly from the royal family, and conducted human experiments using subjects of the kingdom and prisoners of the republic.
The number of human casualties is a whopping 10,000 units.
The kingdom’s victory is stained with blood.
Later, when Gluttony was annihilated directly from the ark, the fire of the war faded in an instant.
And taking advantage of that gap, realizing the truth about human experimentation, the Duke of Riviant at the time declared independence. The war, which had reached a lull, ended like that.
This is the end of the war.
Verden replied, recalling the information.
“If you said 27 years ago, are you talking about war?”
“Exactly. Well, you must know. Before coming to the kingdom, he saved the city by subduing the heterogeneous species of Soul Tree in the duchy, and helped to exterminate the Gadran marquis family who had committed an ugly crime.”
Silis gave a brief summary of the war.
It was not much different from what Verden knew. No, since there would be no talk of Gluttony, there would have been fewer of them.
It was then.
“It was the power of that man, the new chancellor who belonged to an unknown group called Gluttony, that was able to turn the tide of the war for that kingdom.”
“… … !”
In an instant, a ripple arose in Verden’s mind.
Until now, only the members of the Ark knew of Gluttony’s existence.
‘But how do you know?’
Silis was not part of the ark. It couldn’t be.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have made this place. In deep doubt, Silis continued.
“Asher, do you know about the 4th duke of the kingdom?”
“… … I know.”
Duke of Devon.
Duke of Riviant.
Duke of Northramd.
Duchess of Rubinelli.
Among them, the Duke of Liviant became independent and established a principality.
And after the end of the war, the duchy of Rubinelli was exterminated due to suspicion of rebellion.
“The reason the new chancellor came to the kingdom was because of my mother’s family, the duchy of Rubinelli. To be precise, because of the blood that has been passed down since long ago.”
“If it’s blood… … .”
“It’s forgotten now, but according to ancient memory, it was called this.”
Seelis put down the teacup.
A small echo spread throughout the space.
“A being who handles dreams, a ‘witch’.”
Silis created magic.
The bright garden turned into darkness in an instant.
In that abyss, backgrounds and characters were reflected, and her voice rang out.
like a play
* * *
A long time ago, a witch lived in the East Continent.
A magical entity that controls dreams and can affect not only the mind but also reality itself.
They have accumulated their own magical knowledge by passing their blood and memories on to their talented female descendants.
But nothing was forever.
In a changing world, at some point, the witch lost her memory transfer and lost her power.
Only that blood was passed down endlessly, and that’s how it ended up as the Duke of Rubinelli, one of the four major dukes in the kingdom.
Naturally, no one knew about the witch’s lineage. Even the first head of the duchy.
No matter how much blood is inherited, if the memories are not inherited, the witch’s characteristics will not awaken. She’s all about being a talented wizard.
The magical powers and magic of witches had long been forgotten.
Then one day, a war broke out.
The kingdom, pushed by the forces of the Republic, was on the verge of destruction.
The corrupt nobles tried to find their way, and the ordinary and incompetent king fell into a panic.
Then, a man appeared.
───I have a way to overcome the kingdom’s crisis. Not only that, but it has the power to make you a great conqueror.
───King of Conquest… … ?
The king was interested.
───What is that method?
───It just requires a little courage from Your Majesty.
What the man asked for was Silis’s mother, the fourth queen, Remien.
She was the only daughter of the Rubinellian duchy. After much consideration, the King of Estyria appointed a man as the new Chancellor.
───… … do not accept
The reason was simple.
Because I didn’t want to be recorded in history as a stupid king who destroyed the kingdom.
An ordinary, incompetent king.
A lucky king who would have been usurped if he had other brothers. In this way he was implicitly a reaction against what had been ignored.
The king offered his wife.
More than his love for her, he was afraid of his inability to be remembered in posterity.
───Your Majesty made the right choice for the kingdom.
The royal family’s permission was granted.
The new chancellor injected the memories of the witch, which had been stored for a long time in Gluttony, into Remien, who was half awake.
The witch’s memory and lineage were connected and reacted violently.
It was as expected.
Queen Remien was born with the gift of a witch.
Seeing the witch’s memory so easily accepted, which can only be passed on to one person.
The new chancellor smiled and extracted Remien’s blood and mana.
The awakened witch’s power has the ability to amplify and alter magical power.
Using this, he made a magical power booster using prisoners of the enemy country as material.
And he ordered Gluttony’s wizards to use it on the battlefield, and the experiment was very successful. Due to the powerful magic bombardment, the charter turned upside down at once.
───Then, next.
The new chancellor removed Remien’s organs and body fragments. Of course, only to the extent that it does not lead to his death.
His purpose is to experiment with magical power alteration to create an acquired peculiar trait.
Since it is a matter that requires numbers, not only prisoners but also citizens of the kingdom were secretly secured and used as test subjects.
Ten thousand people were dissected and died.
The progress was very smooth.
However, the experiment ended in an instant.
Everything in Gluttony, including the new chancellor, was swept away by an unknown group. Both the test subject and the test data.
In the meantime, the front line was pushed back as the Duke of Riviant declared independence. In the end, the kingdom could not sustain the war.
In order to silence the duke who learned about human experimentation, he had no choice but to promise not to invade the principality.
It should have ended like that.
───Victory was just around the corner! How dare, how dare a duke! Something like a republic!
The power to overwhelm other countries.
A great conqueror who will be recorded in history.
A look of admiration from the surrounding nobles.
The King of Estyria was obsessed with power and prestige.
Due to that change, incompetence and mediocrity became obstinacy.
The king forced the court wizards to continue the experiment. There was no new prime minister or related data, but he pushed through with recklessness.
───Your Majesty, at this rate… … !
───Shut up and continue!
As a result, Remien decomposed.
───Silis… … .
The will he left while dying alive was the name of his only daughter.
Silis’s mother, the fourth queen, was soon unable to find her form. Could there be a more horrifying and futile death than this?
But still, there was no result.
Without Gluttony’s technical skills, they knew nothing about witches. At most, except for magic amplification.
───Have you failed? No, no. It’s not over yet. Yes, the chancellor said it. Remien is said to have been born with a special bloodline… … !
That would mean that there is a secret in her family.
The King of Estyria took the lead behind the scenes, accusing the duchy of Rubinelli of rebellion.
In fact, it was only possible because there was a precedent in which the Duke of Riviant established the principality.
Using secret cult members and two other dukes, excluding the black dealer, who are currently in the hands of Prince 1, he thoroughly undermined his reputation and forged evidence.
Let’s give money and territory, they faithfully fulfilled the king’s order more than anyone else.
Using that as an excuse, the Rubinellian duchy was destroyed.
The human experiment continued using the secretly captured bloodlines of the duke.
But the result was the same.
The king cried out and the witch disappeared.
… … However, the witch’s lifeline was not completely cut off.
Because the memory of Remien’s disappearance was passed on to her daughter.
suffering and death.
all of that.
* * *
The play realized by Sillis has come to an end.
As the darkness lifted, the dream garden returned with a refreshing atmosphere. Leaving behind the changes in the space, Verden quietly fell into thought.
‘I’ve heard from the manager.’
Among the unique traits, there are those that are rarely inherited through lineage and memory. Apparently, Princess Silis was in that case.
I can understand why you know about Gluttony.
He must have come across the name as the memory of his mother who was being experimented on was transmitted. On the other hand, the fact that she knew nothing about the ark proved that.
However, there are some points that are not clear.
Knock knock. Dunn Verden asked, tapping his arm with his fingers.
“There are five questions in total.”
“However much.”
Seelis asked a question.
