Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 291



Only Noblemtl

Episode 291 First Arrival (1)

What Verden asked for from the back alley forces was information.

The amount differs depending on the quality, but it was an irresistible price to pay directly in cash rather than indiscreet goods.

Especially in difficult times like now.

Thief, the thief, was the first to receive money.

It came to the fore by mentioning information about a wagon raid targeting Padreld.

And when he found out the details, he received a promise from Verden that he would pay more than double the reward depending on the importance.

It was also an example to motivate others, but a promise is a promise.

While collecting various information, Tiff set out to do that as well.

However, there was no progress as expected.

He’s good at stealing, but he doesn’t know much about the smuggling industry.

So I found an assistant.

───You, come work with me.

───Yes? Me?

The target is Padreld himself.

There was no one in the Dominion with more relevant experience and knowledge. Remnants of the past remained, but it didn’t matter.

There is a bonus at stake, but is that a big deal?

So the two joined hands and started collaborating.

First, Padreld’s clue.

While on their way to the Dominion of Midlos via Smuggler’s Gorge, Padreld, who was riding in a carriage with Verden, was ambushed on the road.

The raid was organized by former mercenaries and criminals hired by several smugglers.

Thanks entirely to Verden, not only did he cope perfectly without any damage, but he was also able to successfully destroy the enemies and capture six actors.

Right after interrogation, he even obtained information that Homens was one of the smugglers who instigated the raid.

And Tiff’s clue.

Recently, smugglers are fighting each other over money.

The reason is that all sorts of things are sold at high prices in the Jain area of ​​the Dominion, not in this city.

Not only weapons, potions, and magic items, but even the beginning of the year, which was only allowed to be distributed in the Central Continent, was being traded in the dark.

───This… … What do you get when you put it together?

───I think so too.

The two people, whose minds flashed, moved in perfect order.

Padreld found Hormens in hiding.

───Did you think you wouldn’t be able to find me if you stayed inside a building? Before scooping out the pho, you’d better answer my questions wholeheartedly.

───No, I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! Because I made a mistake, only my life!

Tiff made inquiries in towns and villages outside the city.

The invading subhumans were subdued by privately hired adventurers. Although it cost a little bit, it was worth it because I received a separate activity fee.

As a result, three people who fit the criteria were found.

In common, traders who wish to purchase at the beginning of the year.

I decided that if I traded with them, I might be able to find out something.

Because at this point, I came across the possibility that the person who exterminated the lower class forces, including the rats, was a tobacco addict.

That was the reason Verden called the two.

The basement of the Dominion’s mansion.

Padreld and Tiff pointed to the map and explained.

“Now these three are operating in the north, southeast and northeast of the Dominion, respectively. Not only at the beginning of the year, but also wanted Faber. And the two mentioned earlier are the ones who instigated the attack on me.”

Information obtained from the jester in Aldamia.

The hostile forces of the Mage Tower are estimated to be in the east or south.

‘So the North is excluded.’

Two candidates remain.

Verden said.

“Southeast and northeast. Who is bigger?”

“The northeast is bigger.”

“The cost for the beginning of the year and the favour.”

“Similarly, the one in the northeast is buying more expensive. The name is ‘big hand, Jerick’. It’s unheard of, but while I was on my way to the kingdom of Estyria, it seems to have become famous for smuggling on a considerable scale.”

“Well, even if you are a big hand, it’s actually as simple as making your name known on the floor as long as you have money.”

Tiff added.

Verden wiped his chin and sorted out the clues.

‘The hostile forces of the Bohemirn Magic Tower are closely connected with the Dominion Lord and the two Magic Towers.’

Cooperation or hierarchical relationship.

Whatever it was, as long as the Magic Tower was involved, I wouldn’t worry about money.

As long as it’s not judged useless and thrown away along the way, you’ll be able to live in abundance.

‘I might be able to get some tobacco if needed.’

In that sense, the most likely candidate is the Northeast.

It’s most likely that he’s connected to a third force, even if it’s not entirely certain.

“Where is the trafficker named Jerik?”

“This is a town between the mountains. They say that they are acting as nobles by privatizing the area almost with the money they earned from smuggling.”

“Right.”

Verden nodded.

He then asked where the other traffickers were. Just in case Jerick isn’t related to them.

In this way, the necessary information was obtained.

Now that you’ve made your decision and made your decision, it’s time to act.

“I will go northeast. You two head southeast.”

“We too… … Oh no. All right.”

“… … all right.”

Ethan and Rebecca agreed to Verden’s gaze.

Not only did they move at different speeds, but it made more sense to move separately.

In the judgment of these two people, the fact that Verden had reached the 6th level or higher accounted for a large portion.

“But Asher may have gone to the wrong place. So, just in case, why don’t you leave a note about where each of you are headed after meeting the traffickers?”

“Yes, at least the minimum amount of information.”

There’s nothing you can’t do.

Verden turned his head.

Padreld and Tiff shrugged.

“I will pay the performance bonus after I go and come back. If what I’m looking for is correct, I’ll pay more than I promised. Enough to look forward to.”

“Go, thank you. however… … .”

Tiff pointed to the two clowns of Aldamia.

“… … Are those two the ones who started the fire in the slums?”

There was murderous intent in his voice when he said that. He was furious with the burning of the city he lived in.

Even Padreld’s eyes flinched at the corner of his eyes for a moment.

“If you want revenge, I’ll hand you over.”

“Are you sure?!”

It was Verden who caught Aldamia’s clown.

It is the same as preventing a terrorism that almost occurred in the northern district and putting a great fire to rest. There was no room for others to intervene.

“It would be better not to kill him instead. Not for me, but for you guys.”

“It’s us… … ?”

He tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

What did they have to do with that lunatic’s life?

As if he had already given advice, Verden continued walking past Tiff and Padreld. Ethan and Rebecca followed behind him.

“Oh, and I will take Faber. I will pay the price later.”

I stopped by Padreld’s warehouse and stored all the black tobacco in the subspace.

Before long, the three wizards left the city.

* * *

The Dominion Lord was a selfish person.

He was a man who would do anything for my comfort and movie.

Saying that there is no eternal comrade in this world, he threw away the hand he held and took a new one according to the profit he could get.

depth of interpersonal relationships.

In my opinion, it’s a shallow way of life that I carefully considered.

They were the basis of autonomy.

It was in the same context that he received the offer from Volcano Island’s Magic Tower and Larian’s Tower, and tried to eliminate the influence of the Bohemirn Magic Tower within the Dominion.

That’s what was wrong.

Even if they were separated by continents, they shouldn’t underestimate the Bohemirn Magic Tower. can’t blame anyone

Because that’s how he lived.

Patter! Tutuk!

Sliced ​​Dominion wine is sprayed out of the wagon.

The subhuman species and demon beasts that smelled the blood soon came running and greedily devoured human remains.

As soon as the prey disappeared, they fought among themselves and ate each other.

Inside the rattling wagon.

Captain Aldamia threw the bloody apron outside.

“Ha ha ha ha, it was a fun time indeed after a long time. Compared to the name of the Dominion Lord, it was a flaw that his mouth was a little light, but it wasn’t too bad.”

After tidying up his clothes, he put on a purple silk hat.

“Come on, then the hostile forces of the Bohemirn Magic Tower… … Um, that’s a little long. Since there is a Kendras among them, should I just call him that?”

“I think that would be good, Captain.”

“Your opinion was good. So, I have a rough idea of ​​Kendras’s location. It is home to Wells Town, which is said to be proud of its wide wheat fields. Instead, I don’t know the exact location… … .”

Adrian, who was in the corner, stared.

Aldamia, who laughed at the terrifying gaze, shrugged her shoulders and waved her hand.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. I figured out where Kendras’s contacts were staying. Honestly, haven’t you all heard about digging for information?”

“… … .”

“hmm! A man must be silent! Anyway, if you find the contact and find Kendras’ base, the quest we received is over! No need to worry!”

Aldamia, who had turned around, got up in moderation.

“Torture and disguise. And acting is my specialty. Isn’t that right, everyone!”

“M-That’s right, Captain!!”

“Honestly, there is no one who can follow me through acting.”

“Hot hot hot! Thank you! Devonnie and Massey put on a carnival in the city! Let’s put on the best play so as not to be ashamed of the two of you!”

A mad laugh echoes.

In it, Adrian was immersed in his memories again.

I looked at countless scenes in my consciousness that no matter how much I thought of them, no emotion came to mind.

The destination is Wells Town.

The orders inscribed in the magic circle are approaching the end.

* * *

The eldest son, Jerick, was enjoying the greatest heyday in the history of his life.

It’s just a middleman who smuggles the requested goods, and for each transaction, a fee that goes to the saliva goes into his hands.

To think that in just a few months you will accumulate assets that you would not be able to see even if you sweat your feet for years… … I really hadn’t even dreamed of it.

‘Though it takes not knowing exactly who is requesting the item.’

In fact, I didn’t even want to know.

A job where all you have to do is bring the items you prepared in person at the appointed time and then hand over cash or goods.

No matter what the inside story was, no matter what the identity was, I had no intention of quitting.

Who would give up on making such an easy and huge amount of money?

‘Honestly, I don’t know what kind of harm I will get if I close the deal right away… … .’

It’s too late to stop when you’ve already started.

Yeah, you’d be much better off betting big on a fucking bar at the bottom of your life.

There was no guarantee that just because he was himself, he wouldn’t become a big fan like the bootlegger Padreld. I will make this town like a smuggler’s canyon.

Jerick came out of the bathtub with that promise.

After wiping off the water, I walked down the cold hallway wearing a luxurious gown.

Because of the garden inside, it was cold because it was open to the outside, but this was also a luxury.

I went downstairs with frequent steps.

His new hobby was to lie on a newly purchased soft sofa and enjoy wine that was unsuitable for his taste.

But there was a passenger.

“Now you are here.”

Byeokan with gray hair.

A robe that was dazzling enough to open your eyes.

A man with a different appearance than Jerick was sitting on the sofa.

“who… … .”

“Sit down. I have something to say about the person you are dealing with.”

A serious yet intimidating voice.

‘no way… … robbery?’

Maybe.

No, that was the only thing that came to mind in the current situation. Feeling his backbone tingle, Jerick called the mercenaries he had hired.

“guard! guard! The river here———”

Then, for a moment, I was speechless.

On the railing outside the window, I could see the mercenaries lying helplessly.

“Hiccup.”

Only then did the strangely quiet interior of the house creep in. It was the same when I listened to my surroundings.

Apparently, it seemed that Jerick himself was the only one awake.

Tuck, Tuck.

Jerick approached and sat down in a chair.

His back, with his legs together, bent in a curve.

“ah… What did you just say?”

“I heard you trade tobacco.”

Verden pulled out a small box from his chest.

Seeing the bundle of black tobacco in it, Jerick widened his eyes.

“This, is this Faber?”

“I see right away.”

“Yes, my customer… … .”

Tup. Jerick covered his mouth with his hand.

It was taboo to disclose customer information… … !

Of course, it was already too late to pick it up.

“I have quite a lot of Faber in my hands right now. I heard that it sells for a fairly high price.”

“Yes, yes. It’s a new product from the Central Continent, so… … .”

“so.”

Verden lay on his back.

Resting his chin on the back of his hand, he said softly.

“I want to make a deal with your client, too.”

Of course there is no veto.

Because this was a threat, not a proposal or a request.

The third force Verden was looking for.

It was now right in front of them until they contacted them.
