Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 265



Only Noblemtl

Episode 265

Silis fell into a deep sleep due to the recoil from using the Artifact unreasonably.

As if he was having a bad dream, cold sweat formed on his forehead and dripped down again.

The pain was clearly evident in the occasional contortion on his face.

Flona wiped the sweat with a dry handkerchief.

He cools down his heated body temperature by using magic items that contain mild cold air.

Adele chewed her lips and watched as she nursed her with utmost sincerity.

“Flora, your Highness… … How are you?”

“Your physical condition is improving. But the inside is the problem.”

Silis’ body is recovering day by day.

The side effects of the crown of thorns, which would have already been lost if it was someone else, were completely offset by the witch’s lineage and memories.

But on the contrary, the time to suffer became longer.

Even though it’s not strange to wake up right now… … As if denying reality.

Adele and Flona.

Even if you don’t have to say it, the two know what the cause is.

Survivors who lost their entire family to a group called Gluttony, and who died themselves, but were able to find life again thanks to Sillis.

There was no way they didn’t know her heart.

The revenge you’ve been dreaming of for a long time but couldn’t bring yourself to do.

In the end, he would not have been able to bear the result of being helpless.

“How can I help Her Highness?”

“It’s a problem we can’t help. It’s a problem that Her Highness Sillis will solve.”

Flona carefully covered the back of Silis’s hand.

“If you wait, you will overcome. Because you are a strong person. So let’s stick together, as always.”

Adele, Flona and Lorian.

The three of them swore to themselves that they would live for Sillis.

Whether it is the road to revenge or the unknown road that goes beyond the dream of revenge, we will be together. even if it is death.

Adele and Flona, ​​who had looked at each other with worried eyes until the end, left the room.

While walking down the hallway, I encountered an unexpected person. The biggest variable in the plan, and the mighty existence that punished Leonil in the end.

“Did you say Adele and Flona?”

Verden asked.

Adele and Flona’s bodies tensed.

“… … Yes that’s right. By the way, what is Asher-sama doing here?”

“If you have come to see Her Highness Sillis, please promise the following. His condition has not yet recovered, so he needs stability.”

“Don’t worry. Because I have no intention of going in. Rather, where is Lorian?”

Lorian?

“Lorian is with Mr. Cland, no, Sebas, the black dealer. He is scheduled to return to the castle after completing his remaining work… … What business do you have for Lorian?”

The reason is not guessed.

Could it be that he was trying to retaliate for being sealed away in Loapra?

Verden said to the two people who were holding their breath.

“Tell me when you meet. We have something to talk about, just the two of us.”

* * *

The coronation ceremony ended peacefully.

There are people who went missing that day without a sound rumor.

“… … Mmm.”

The mercenary commander, Geul, slowly opened his eyes.

The gloomy vision was full of gloom. The faint light emitted from the magic stone lanterns hanging from the ceiling only illuminated the desolate space.

It’s dark and full of dust.

There seemed to be a faint burnt smell as well as a musty smell.

“Where is this… … .”

rattle.

I tried to get up, but something grabbed me.

When I naturally lowered my gaze, my arms, legs, and waist were tightly bound to the metal chair.

The thick and strong rope, which seemed impossible to break with his power, was entangling his body without even the slightest gap.

‘X-foot, what is this?’

Confused, Geul shook her head.

Familiar people were listed next to the right.

Mad Tolav.

Dario the Colossus.

Designer Nellita.

Everything is tied like a crab.

I couldn’t understand what the hell was going on, but I didn’t have time to think deeply.

“Tolav! Dario! Nellita! Open your eyes right now! wake up!”

Gaul exclaimed urgently.

After calling their names several times, they began to come to their senses one by one.

“what’s this… … ? My, why am I tied up?!”

“Ugh! What is this all of a sudden!”

“Kick, doesn’t it work?”

Confusion mounts.

Tried to break free, but no one succeeded.

On the way, I asked Geul about the situation, but of course he didn’t know. Because he just woke up early.

There is only one thing I know.

The four above are members of Prince 1’s secret society. It was self-evident that someone had kidnapped her for some purpose.

A presence is felt in the dark.

The sound of footsteps on the floor, overlapping with that, made a dull sound. It seemed to be the movement of a person with a cane.

Also, footsteps that are a little heavier than that, and even the sound of a wheelchair dragging.

Soon, his identity was revealed.

“… … A black trader?”

Dark merchant Cland.

Wearing a bowler hat, he lifted his head as he touched the floor with his cane. The characteristic burn mark on his chin was clear.

There was a person lying in a wheelchair next to him. A mysterious human wearing a mask with a body full of burn scars.

The blonde, green-eyed man behind him only moved his gaze while holding onto the handle of the wheelchair.

Cland stepped forward.

“Everyone, long time no see.”

“… … Dark merchant, what is the situation now?”

“I can’t even see it. I’ve captured you guys, and isn’t it a situation where you’ve been captured by me?”

“Are you kidding me?”

Nellita snapped.

Cland laughed it off.

“It’s a joke. Isn’t that what you do best, Nellita? Unfortunately, I don’t have a talent for inciting people.”

It’s a casual reaction.

Gaul showed his teeth and growled.

“I don’t know what the purpose is, but just play around here. If you don’t want to face irreversible consequences.”

“Kick-kick-kick! Kidnapping me out of nowhere Was there someone crazier than me?”

It is a proud threat tinged with hostility.

Calming his emotions, Kland took off his bowler hat and threw it behind him. Everyone’s eyes were focused on his attitude, which he had never seen before.

“It is an irreversible result. Didn’t you guys already do that?”

“what?”

“I know you don’t understand in many ways. But that doesn’t matter anyway. You guys just have to listen and be unilateral. Just like me and we did.”

An embarrassing air current stirred.

What do you mean by that? Even the madman Tolav frowned, saying he didn’t know why.

“In the past, there was a family that was destroyed due to an unfair false reputation.”

jerk, jerk.

Cland moved.

The first to approach Gaul. With the staff he was holding, he tapped both of Geul’s hands.

“The leader of the Geul Mercenary Corps, Geul. You were hired by the royal family to disguise yourself as a thief and sweep the territory of the Duke of Rubinelli. He killed, robbed, and violated the pitiful territories. very organized. Thanks to this, the territory has become ugly, and the family’s forces have been divided to subjugate you. As a result, the royal family and other ducal families helped invade the territory.”

Next is Nellita.

He pressed his chin lightly with his cane.

“Ugh… … !”

“Designer Nellita. You spread false rumors about the duchy of Rubinelli using newspapers and information vendors in each city. Crimes, rebellions, all sorts of insults and cruel rumors disturbed public opinion. The ignorant citizens who encountered him disparaged and hated the Duke of Rubinelli as if it were natural. You have tarnished the family’s status to an infinite extent.”

and Tolav.

He hit his head with a cane.

“Crazy Tolav. As a drug dealer, you released an unfathomable amount of drugs within the Rubinellian territory. And forced to poison the streets. Also, by planting drug-related information deep within the family, it gave other ducal families an excuse to intervene.”

Finally Dario.

I stabbed my stomach with layers of fat with my cane.

“Dario, the colossus of the East. You were paid by the royal family of Estyria, and you helped those three behind the scenes by raising a huge amount of money. With the bloody fortune you are so proud of.”

The silence became agitated and agitated.

It was a look of how did you know? In addition to that, I couldn’t understand bringing up things that were already decades old.

Anxiety only grows.

Dario swallowed and his eyes trembled.

“Cland, the dark merchant. What are you… … Who is it?”

Cland took two steps back.

Throwing his cane to the ground, he placed his right hand on his chest. A unique etiquette typical of aristocratic families.

“I am the butler of the Duchess of Rubinelli, Sebas. One of only two survivors of the burning mansion and estate.”

“My name is Sebas… … ?”

It’s a name you know.

Memories of the past come back on their own. One of those whose body was never found.

However, it was not found even after many years, and even if it was alive, it was a member of the Rubinellian family who was judged to be dead because it did not pose much of a threat.

Nellita, startled for a moment, screamed loudly.

“lie! Sebas has such a face———”

“There are many unusual magic items in the world. I received the help of the Noble One and permanently abandoned my former face to hide my identity. Just for today.”

Sebas abandoned the pseudonym Cland.

He approached the wheelchair and placed his hand on the shoulder of the man whose face was covered.

“eww… … uh… … .”

“The only thing that points to me in the past is this burn scar I wore that day. The same goes for my pupil here, Camion. Do you understand why you guys were arrested now?”

Sebas laughed.

Everyone trembled at the eerie smile.

“You bastard… … ! If Her Highness Balrgna knew about this, she wouldn’t sit idly by!”

“Valgna is already over. So does the hateful King of Estyria. And he doesn’t care if he doesn’t. My hand will be faster than Valrgna helping you.”

Sebas laid out the instruments of torture.

The bag was full of blue metal. Among them, he held a metal hammer with a heavy weight on the tip.

“… … .”

Lorian stood behind Camion and watched silently.

Then, someone interfered with the mind. It must have been a call from Adele or Flona, ​​who have a mental connection.

Lorian, who had heard the story, widened his eyes in surprise.

“Oh, Mr. Sebas. I’ll have to go back to the castle first. You say someone is looking for me.”

“Don’t worry here. I’ll let you finish my work here too. Of course, it will take some time.”

“Please relax and enjoy yourself.”

After saying hello to the two, Lorian went outside.

The air, which had been light for a moment, became heavy again. Sebas moved in Camion’s field of vision.

Plugged Tolav’s mouth with a hammer.

Nellita pulled out three teeth.

Dario bursts a boat filled with money.

Tolav smashes his maddened head.

Gheul will cut off the hands of many murders.

Revenge began there.

“You don’t have to feel too bad. All of your subordinates and forces have also been identified, and we will soon erase them all from the kingdom.”

“no! Stop it, black trader!”

“My, I was wrong! Forgiveness! I’ll buy forgiveness with money! Whatever it is!”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa help me!”

“Ughhhhhhh?!”

everyone glows

struggling to survive somehow.

Just like the people who died in the Burning Manor did.

“I already said it. You just have to listen to it one-sidedly and suffer.”

Sebas pulled his arm.

A sound that is transmitted through the fingertips. A brutal scream echoed through the enclosed space.

But no one was listening.

The mansion of the Duke of Rubinelli, which was burnt down in the past. The basement hidden beneath it was the home of Sebas and Camion.

* * *

Verden looked back on last year’s memories with his eyes closed.

After accepting a request from the adventurer’s guild in Martes, the city of the principality, they headed to the Birion Territory with Iris Party and others.

There, he first met Galliac and entered the tunnel where the undead haunted.

Then, he faced the undead, the Knight of Weeping, who was sitting on a pile of white bones.

At the time, it was quite a strong enemy.

Even the miracles of the clergy did not work on the strange power of resisting in darkness.

It was obviously too much for Verden, who was exhausted from using , and in the end, he joined forces with Galliac to subdue him.

The Knight of Lamentation left Verden a ‘necklace’ and memories before disappearing.

A soldier who fought for his family.

The kingdom of Estyria slaughtered and buried its own soldiers.

The buried soldier was revived with hatred and anger and became a Knight of Weeping. to return to the family.

‘At the time, I couldn’t guess the reason for the massacre… … .’

I can see now.

The two biggest bans of the kingdom, an elder lich I met in a cave without light.

He must have accidentally found out about the kingdom’s large-scale human experiments. As a result, he was brutally silenced.

‘I can’t believe the events of that time will continue until here.’

Even as a Verden, it’s just amazing.

Of course, I don’t believe in the fate theory that the outcome is fixed.

Even coincidences were the footsteps of Verden, and it was just a situation that was created as a result. Also the current choice.

smart.

A sound came from outside the door.

The long-awaited guest has arrived. He summoned his magic and pulled the doorknob.

Lorian came inside and bowed.

“I heard you called me.”

“Sit down for now.”

Lorian obediently followed.

Still, I thought to myself.

For what reason did you two want to see each other? If it wasn’t some kind of retaliation for the sealing of Loapra, I couldn’t guess at all.

“Hmm.”

Verden thought for a moment.

The heartache put in your thoughts is close to certainty. However, it was not appropriate to go straight to the point.

If so, what should I say naturally?

“Lorian, you said you were experimented on by Gluttony, just like Flona and Adele.”

Lorian tilted his head inwardly.

At the sudden talk, he hesitated and nodded his head.

“… … Yes, it is.”

“How old were you then?”

“It was six.”

I vaguely remember.

The days when his father, a soldier, goes to the battlefield and lives in the village with his mother. Then one day, until the moment he became a test subject along with his mother after being caught in an evacuation procession.

The rest has been weathered by the years, but the pain he felt then and the sight of his mother dying in front of him were still good.

“Was your father a soldier?”

“Yes, that’s right———”

“Your position must be a centurion.”

Lorian’s eyes widened.

How the hell do you know that? It wouldn’t even have been recorded. Adele, Flona, ​​and Princess Silis were all aware of that.

‘As expected.’

Lorian’s reaction proves it.

The ‘Lorian’ that the Knight of Lamentation was looking for is correct.

Verden opened the space bag.

I took out an old necklace that was rusted and scorched from inside. Powered by her telekinesis, he gave it to Lorian.

“What is this necklace… … .”

tall.

Lorian’s gaze stopped.

Green eyes stared blankly at the necklace.

I don’t remember it well, but I was used to it somehow. At the same time, memories locked in deep darkness rise to the surface.

A man waving to himself and his mother before going to the battlefield.

“… … uh?”

Lorian’s hands trembled.

It was unconscious at first, but gradually changed. He knows what this necklace is. more than anyone else.

Unable to hide his agitation, he alternately looked at Verden and the necklace.

It was a teary red, disbelief look.

“The beginning was a mere coincidence.”

Verden started talking quietly.

Regarding the thought left behind by an undead called the Knight of Lamentation.

Lorian, who had been listening blankly, opened the necklace, as was his childhood habit.

There was a portrait in it.

There was a family sitting harmoniously.

I couldn’t see my parents’ faces because I couldn’t stand it for a long time, but the boy with golden hair and green eyes who was sitting between them was clean.

It was definitely Lorian.

In case it would tear, I slowly touched the painting.

I feel the familiar yet unfamiliar texture. Crying. Emotions I had been trying to forget came flooding back.

Father is dead. His mother also died.

It’s been decades already… … I never thought I would come into contact with the traces of my family that I had buried deep in my heart.

Lorian, whose expression was indescribable, gripped the necklace tightly.

Strongly as if he would never let go again.

Verden stood up.

It would be better for you to step aside for now. Lorian asked in a voice mixed with tears toward Verden, who was moving away.

“Asher-sama, my father’s last… … Were you comfortable?”

The Knight of Lamentation who gave you the necklace turned to dust.

complete extinction. He had a blank gaze just before, but since he is freed from hatred, he will no longer suffer.

You should be resting by now.

“okay.”

Verden left the answer and left the room.

Left alone, Lorian buried her face in her hands. She couldn’t hold back her tears.

Like falling down on the side of the road and crying in the arms of my mother and father.

Lorian said softly.

“Thank you for telling me… … !”

Gratitude hovers in the air.

It was conveyed without saying a single thing.

Parents’ belongings are passed on to their children.

This left one of Verden’s tasks to do.
