Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 283



Only Noblemtl

Episode 283 Clue (2)

Ezra and Molly dispatched from different Mage Towers.

Wizards who received an urgent call from the Dominion came to the castle.

It was late at night, past dinner time, and the two were very uncomfortable, so the self-governing lord knelt down to comfort them.

Only after doing so was I able to explain the whole thing.

“… … This is how it happened.”

“Ha, that’s how it happened.”

Molly snorted.

He crossed his arms and raised his chin as if he was dumbfounded.

“Did you say that you called us because of an unheard of person who rules the underworld or something? You said that you would write ? I’m so stunned that I can’t even speak properly.”

“I agree with Molly. What is this urgent… … Wouldn’t it be alright to talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I don’t understand why you had to contact me in the middle of the night, secretly.”

Ezra, like her, looked displeased.

A self-governing knight, with a way of thinking that is even more relaxed than that of Lentiha.

The pride of belonging to one of the 10 mage towers was more arrogant than the nobles’ sense of choice.

Seeing that, the Dominion Lord tightly closed his eyes.

‘Hey, it’s a magic tower that has no direct connection to the underworld, so if it’s natural, should I say it’s a natural reaction?’

Still, you must have heard something about the ruler of Loapra.

Even so, it was so insignificant that the backbone was pulled.

‘Why is he taking the title lightly even though he has the title of king? … .’

What can I say about the dangers of that name?

How can I persuade her to convey the seriousness she is feeling?

The Dominion Lord pressed his eyes tightly.

He let out a deep sigh, lowering his voice and putting on a serious expression.

“I know what you two think, but… … To be honest, I don’t think it’s something that can be easily overlooked. That, according to rumors.”

“rumor? What rumors are you talking about?”

“Yes, so, it is said that the young mage who usurped the throne this time has enough power to wipe out most of the underground city of Loapra. In other words, there is a view that he may have gone far beyond the fifth tier… … .”

“ha? So, does that mean he has reached the 6th tier? Tsk tsk tsk, Dominion Lord, you don’t even have knowledge about magic.”

Molly clicked her tongue and shook her head.

“My special explanation. The 6th hierarchy is not something you dare to say easily. It is a state that even we cannot surpass, allowed only to a few with talents chosen by the heavens. At that level, you can sit in a seat comparable to the Council of Elders in the Mage Tower, and it is at the level of being treated as a major force in the country.”

“To take this area as an example, the head of the court mage of the kingdom of Estyria. There must be a 6th tier high-ranking mage, Leonil of Light Flame. He is a strong man who is unknown to anyone in the East Continent. If that’s the case, the author who reigns only in the underworld is in the 6th rank? It seems that the Lord of the Dominion is quite deaf to believe that right away.

The two wizards laughed openly.

The self-governing lord, who was ridiculed, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the sweat. Her face grew hot at the sound of her blatant laughter.

‘These fucking Mage Tower bastards.’

I wanted to refute strongly, but I held back.

No matter what you say, you won’t listen properly. That authoritative consciousness had nothing to do with the self-governing lord.

Ezra immediately stopped laughing.

“Even if the rumors are exaggerated, they must be based on some truth, and the Dominion Lord seems to be worried… … It’s better to judge it as a 5th tier high mage, or a 5th tier middle mage. No, I even consider the possibility of being a top 5 mage.”

“Ezra, isn’t that overkill? Is it on the same level as us or even higher?”

“Well, we may be superior in practical ability, but the level is not different. It’s just that he didn’t enter the Mage Tower, so he might have outstanding talent. Still, it doesn’t change that I’m from the underworld with no roots.”

Ezra stroked his beard.

“Anyway, that Asher? I understand that this person is collecting information about the Mamentus Company using low-level groups scattered in the back alleys. I wish I knew why.”

“I tried to find out, but still… … .”

Molly cut off the Dominionism.

“I’m talking about the old lady, but aren’t you by any chance the boss of the Bohemian Tower? Otherwise, in this situation, I don’t understand why you would go after a business that is all going to ruin.”

“It’s hard to believe that the Bohemian Mage Tower hired someone from the underworld this openly, but… … We can’t be certain right now.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to deal with it right away? Of course, we can’t directly go out in the open, so we have no choice but to call back ‘them’ from the Central Continent.”

“Didn’t they say that they would only come out in connection with the Bohemirn Magic Tower? It’s cumbersome to call unless it’s proven to be so yet. As you know, they are very rough.”

“Then what are you going to do? Are you saying we should just leave it like this?”

“It’s not like that, but… … Hmm, well… … .”

Ezra, deep in thought.

After a while, he opened his eyes and smiled a little.

“Then how about this one?”

The Dominion Lord tilted his head.

“yes? which… … .”

“The fact that we don’t even know the other person’s motives, but there are too many back alley bugs looking around. Aren’t these two things a big stumbling block now?”

Ezra faced the Dominion.

“So, let’s float it yourself.”

* * *

Verden kept his place and was continuously informed of the situation.

The process of moving through the back alleys of the Dominion to collect all sorts of information and monitoring the streets was extremely convenient.

If it was when he was working as Gray’s mercenary, he would have had to act himself.

‘Even if it costs a bit, it’s a lot of money anyway.’

A huge amount of wealth lies dormant in the bank accounts of A Space and Dyna.

It’s not enough to be confident that you can do anything, but when you have a personal need like this, you can use it without any problems.

As a result, Verden was able to take the lead in the situation itself.

‘Currently, only the Dominion Lords reacted greatly.’

The Magic Tower of Volcano Island and the Larian Magic Tower are still silent.

In fact, it was only on the surface, and he might have already been in contact with the Dominion. It could have been hidden and moved with or .

With only the forces of the back streets, where there were almost no magicians, it was not enough to even realize its movements.

But it doesn’t matter.

They must have already recognized the existence of Verden, and will show one of several reactions accordingly.

Whatever it is, it won’t be consistent with ignoring it. It would be too intrusive to let you sit around trying to dig through what’s almost done.

‘Maybe a third force might try to assassinate me.’

To be honest, this is the flow I want.

This means that you will achieve your goal without wasting any more time. Of course, to that faction, if it’s worth attracting them to their side.

If they are not in the right direction, they intend to leave the Dominion and find others.

‘If it gets in the way, I just have to destroy it on the spot.’

money, power, force.

Although Verden is an individual, he holds the above three powers in his hands. His confidence based on him was like an unbreakable fortress.

Then one day, a strange letter was delivered through Padreld.

“… … It was sent by the Dominion Lord himself. Why don’t you check if there’s any unknown poison in it or not?”

“Not required.”

Because it is immune to poison.

Verden opened the letter without hesitation.

Inside was a sort of ‘invitation’ written in handwriting.

Padreld, who took a sneak peek at the contents, couldn’t help but bewildered.

“This, this… … !”

“The Dominion invited me to his castle.”

Rather than killing him right away, did he want to know why he was chasing information about Mamentus Co.? It was a sensible yet reckless decision.

According to rumors, he was known as a very cautious and selfish nobleman.

‘Did someone else give you some advice?’

The date is 5 days from now.

I took quite a long time, probably because it took time. It was better to meet face to face right away, but I have no choice but to concede this much.

Verden folded the letter and threw it roughly on the table.

Padreld asked cautiously.

“Hey, Mr. Asher. Meeting with the Dominion… … Are you okay? You will definitely have a conversation about Mamentus Co.”

Verden actually has nothing to do with Mamentus Corporation.

In other words, there is no reason to dig into the back of the company. He would have had no choice but to remain silent at the invitation of the Dominion Lord.

Perhaps the suspicion deepens and a battle breaks out on the way.

Padreld’s concerns were justified.

Of course, Verden had already prepared a countermeasure.

“I already know enough about Mamentus Co. with the information you guys have brought me. So, you can make a reason.”

Mamentus Sanghoju is from the Rivian Republic.

It was also a request from Gray or an agency for the dukedom, and he had run a store in the county of Rodenmeyer, who had a good relationship with Verden.

I also figured out what I was doing before coming to the Midlos Dominion.

And Verden has the title of King of the Underworld.

If you use the two properly, it was easy to come up with a plausible excuse.

“So there will be no dispute, maybe.”

“… … I hope so.”

Padreld bowed his head.

I also forgot to pray a little.

Even if I somehow managed to get past the other things, I really hated getting caught up in the murder of the Dominion Lord.

Then, Verden turned his head.

“But lately Baldar and Franky haven’t been seen. Exactly since I gave the order.”

Could it be that he ran away

I thought so for a moment, but Padreld denied it.

“No, he came to me a few days ago and said he was looking for information. Instead, I add that it will take time, so it is difficult to contact them.”

“is it.”

“Even his subordinates didn’t take anyone, and he didn’t show any sign of taking anything, so he probably didn’t run away. Still, they are the ones who take care of my life properly.”

Padrell shrugged.

“Probably, rather than running away, he is risking his life to show off to Asher-sama and make up for the mistake he made last time. So you might want to wait and see. You have to go down anyway, so it’s not worth it.”

* * *

The western slums of the Dominion.

A pitch-black darkness lurks in the underground waterways hidden in the depths.

The entrance is on the safe side, but the more you go inside, the more filth and the stench gets worse.

It is not even a haven for worms, and an environment where heterogeneous species in the form of worms are inhabited. They are especially visually terrifying monsters to encounter in confined spaces.

Frankie and Baldar went to such a place.

“Mi, crazy… … ! Even though I’m wearing a mask, I still smell it, damn it… … !”

“Breath through your mouth. Unless you want to die of suffocation from the stench.”

“It’s about to end, but what… … Wow.”

Although he was protecting himself with gloves, boots, and a mask, it was disgusting.

From the ankles to the shins, the increasingly deep waters of the canal were terrifying.

The corpses of insects that occasionally floated by were literally stimulating their instincts.

It didn’t stop though.

Since you have already set foot here, there must be something to be gained.

Not long after that, the two were able to obtain one piece of information.

“As expected, I can’t see the bums and Let’s even poke their noses.”

The underground aqueduct was empty.

Originally, from the entrance, they should have been attacking every step of the way, telling them not to invade their territory.

Baldar lifted the magic lamp and narrowed his eyes.

“I heard that there were vagrants hanging around before the fire at the Rainbow Inn… … If you do this well, there might be a relationship.”

“Yeah, fucking feet. please i wish it was like that If I come this far and don’t find out anything, I’m going to go crazy.”

Frankie never stopped complaining.

Nonetheless, he braced himself and headed forward.

Occasionally, long-nosed, human-sized mosquitoes attacked one or two, but it was not difficult to deal with, except for disgust.

The scimitar held in both hands easily cut the heterogeneous body in two.

So it went deeper.

It was self-evident that a meal along the way would be the worst that would be remembered for a lifetime.

Even drinking water felt like inhaling filth.

How can people live here?

It was to the point of respecting the rats and tramps all over again.

If you live so dirty that your resistance has been strengthened, there are few people who die as soldiers even if you eat, sleep, and fight in an underground waterway like this.

‘Where did those crazy X’s go?’

Did he leave the autonomous territory because he couldn’t stand it?

As I was thinking about that, I saw a black bundle between the weakly flowing water. I lifted it slightly with a scimitar.

“… … hair?”

human hair.

It is also a bundle.

Frankie and Baldar met each other’s eyes.

Then, at the same time, her eyes flashed and she headed toward the place where her hair had flowed down.

A certain space on the wall of an underground waterway.

As I entered, the rotten smell that stung my eyes vibrated strongly. There must be something in that darkness.

The two quietly swallowed their saliva and slowly pushed forward the magic stone lamp.

“… … ?!”

“Gee, crazy… … !”

and faced

Dozens of corpses rotting in shallow water.

It was the remains of the missing Letts and tramps.
