Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 304

Episode 304

“This is no joke.”

A view through a magic item.

It was by no means a coincidence that they met eyes with the transparent wall inside.

Tylen, whose existence was unintentionally discovered, exclaimed in admiration.

“The ruler of Loapra… … I thought he was nothing more than a criminal who covered the sky with his palm, but it seems that he was given the title of king for no reason. It’s a brilliant insight that’s not befitting its age.”

“Does it need to be so grandiose? Could it be that she was simply born with a more sensitive sense of magical power than others? Even so, it’s all amazing.”

“It could be. However, I don’t think so.”

Tylen slowly opened her eyes.

When the necklace’s light subsided, he could see the entire city instead of inside the mansion.

“No less than us.”

“what?”

“I haven’t directly measured the magic power, but it’s an unusual presence. I don’t think you should take it lightly because you’re young. Anyway, it seems self-evident that it is difficult to handle as an investigator.”

“Um… … .”

Melconi crossed her arms.

It was a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t bother to refute it. It was because Tyllen was superior to himself when it came to evaluating his opponent’s skills.

Instead, I looked at the situation rationally.

A conclusion was soon drawn.

“This is a single pass.”

If the opponent was the king of the underworld, it would have been simple.

If they cooperated, they would have to be interrogated, and if they tried to resist, it would have been enough to hit them with magic.

The justification lies with the Magic Tower.

Even if there was none, it had the power to arbitrarily decide the life and death rights of the opponent.

‘But it’s a different story for nobles.’

The kingdom of Estria is a country with a large territory.

Even if it was the Magic Tower, their position and rights could not be ignored.

“Hmm, I wouldn’t mind if it was a small country with low national power… … .”

“The kingdom’s influence on the eastern continent cannot be ignored. And isn’t it in the kingdom, especially the ability to be wary of.”

At Tylen’s words, Melcony nodded.

“Court mage leader, Leonil of the mad flame. Certainly he is dangerous.”

Leonil’s power surpasses that of Melconi and Tylen.

Only transcendentalists can dare to ignore a 6th tier high mage. And there are only a few transcendentalists across the world and across all races, including the Mage Tower.

“At this point, we should avoid becoming hostile to Leonil as much as possible. It could cause more damage.”

“I guess so. There was a reason why the author showed such a confident attitude. To think he was carrying the royal family of Estyria and Leonil on his back.”

He was keeping the Bohemian Magic Tower in check underwater, and the result is now.

In such a situation, if they were to come into conflict with the kingdom of Estyria, they would be in trouble in many ways.

“… … We should focus on resolving the situation in the Dominion of Midlos as much as possible.”

“What else are you going to do?”

“It would be natural for the Kendras faction to bury their relationship like this. Even if the Bohemirn Magic Tower captured us alive, it left no physical evidence that could identify us.”

The destruction of the Mage Tower branch will hold Aldamia’s clown responsible.

Through interrogation, you can find out that Bohemirn Magic Tower ordered it, but… … There wouldn’t be any chance to use it.

After all, there is no significant evidence. Like Kendras.

In fact, even if there is physical evidence, the opposite effect is great.

I’m sure there will be various forces trying to figure out what happened in the Dominion. This was done only for the benefit of the Magic Tower.

He had no intention of getting hurt with the Bohemian Tower.

“I was thinking of overthrowing the Dominion, but I ended up with clowns… … . The prestige of the mage tower will diminish, but I have no choice but to endure it.”

“Is it too risky to touch the nobles of the kingdom?”

Well, it’s unavoidable.

The best thing to do was to finish it as noiselessly as possible.

“By the way, the kingdom of Estyria has obtained considerable power. Talented people like that should enter the Mage Tower. It’s a waste, it’s a waste.”

Melconi licked his lips.

Tyllen, who was next to her, narrowed her eyes.

“Earl Asher. Let me remember.”

* * *

“… … Thank you for your cooperation.”

The two investigators dispatched from the Mage Tower took the clown from Aldamia and quietly retreated.

It looked very dissatisfied, but seeing that he agreed, it seemed that he received instructions from his superiors in real time through some kind of magic item.

Two mages presumed to be the bosses.

Verden was clearly aware of those who had real authority.

‘Anyway, this is the end of the Mage Tower.’

Of course, there are gaps where the magic tower can squeeze in.

For example, the big hand, Jerick.

The merchant who brought Verden into contact with Kendras and his gang.

According to Ethan, he ran away from the town at the same time as something happened in Wells Town. It must have been my judgment of the situation.

If the mage tower pursues it, it will be caught soon.

And without interrogation, Verden’s impression will be revealed, and the Magic Tower will have deep doubts about him.

But that was all.

A title given to Princess Silis.

From the moment Verden proved himself as an honorary noble of the kingdom of Estyria, he could not be regarded as an individual by his opponent.

It is impossible to forcibly conduct an investigation unless you want to pretend to be the kingdom.

‘Well, I wouldn’t even look for Jerick in the first place.’

Jerrick is just a tiny part.

After all, he only brokered the deal, and he didn’t know Kendras’ identity or that the Mage Tower was involved.

There is no reason to hold on and keep your mouth shut.

I wouldn’t bother with Wellstown for similar reasons.

‘In the end, there is only one option.’

Letting go of your hands, pretending not to know, and dealing with the situation in the Dominion.

After setting up an aristocrat as a lord to replace the deceased dominion lord, he will expand his influence more than before and focus on future gains.

Even though they suffered unexpected losses, they succeeded in removing the influence of the Bohemirn Magic Tower.

If you think about it, it probably is.

It was not difficult for Verden to weigh the gains and losses from the Mage Tower’s point of view.

The discussion ended just like that.

“… … .”

Verden called back alley forces.

Not long after, Padelel and other backstreet bosses who had gathered before came to the mansion.

Verden said.

“The information collection ends today. Good job.”

“Oh, no. what have we done… … .”

“Are you serious? Then the bonus… … .”

“I did my best and worked hard. Really. I couldn’t even eat properly.”

Siamon, the bartender, groaned.

Small laughter could be heard from everywhere.

When Verden beckoned in the lightest atmosphere, Padreld’s men who were waiting put bundles of money and goods neatly on the table in front of each other.

“Kyaaak… … how much is this… … .”

All in all, it was a significant amount.

Among them, a large amount fell to Thiep, who, along with Padreld, helped find Jerick’s whereabouts.

It was the value of information.

“Kuh, kuh hmm.”

“and… … .”

Gazes filled with envy gathered.

Still, it wasn’t jealousy.

Apart from that, Verden gave a bounty in common.

It also meant that they were satisfied with the achievements they had made in the self-governing territory.

“And since I persuaded the Larian Magic Tower and the Volcano Island Magic Tower, they will not be able to forcefully arrest and interrogate them for the case of the Dominion. So take it easy.”

I don’t know the process, but everyone bowed their heads saying thank you.

I had already heard that the Magic Tower inspector quietly left the mansion with the clowns, so I couldn’t help but believe it.

Meanwhile, Baldas raised his hand.

“Well, if I ask you a question… … Would you like to?”

“okay.”

“thank you. What will happen to the Dominion of Midlos now?”

The Dominion has disappeared and someone has touched the Magic Tower.

In this unprecedented situation, the forces in the back alley were feeling fear because they could not hold their breath while thinking about what to do.

“The territorial attitude of the Mage Tower will intensify in the future. They will try to establish a new lord and strengthen their influence more than before.”

“then… … .”

“Still, it is clear that things are gradually improving on the streets. The development of the city is directly connected to the profit of the Mage Tower.”

That was the positive effect of the magic tower.

Maybe the slums where the big fire occurred can be pushed away and a new district can be established.

Poor people will be able to earn money by being employed as laborers.

“Of course, security will be stricter. So, if you don’t adapt to the new streets, you will be weeded out.”

Tiff, who is good at stealing, flinched.

Except for him, the other people’s expressions were relatively bright. Even though they were afraid of the Mage Tower, it was a joy to see the energy returning to their home.

“Then I’ll have to go.”

“… … !”

Verden stood up from his seat.

Then everyone stood up and hurriedly followed and went out to see them off.

Padreld greeted the representative.

“Whoa, a lot happened in a short period of time. It looks like a few years old.”

“Apart from that, your face looks good.”

“Haha, that’s because Mr. Asher gave me a lot of money.”

He was smiling the whole time.

It was none other than Padreld who benefited the most. It was very rewarding to help the king of the underworld while eating a snack.

“Thank you for using Smuggler’s Gulch, Mr. Asher.”

Padreld bowed deeply.

“Please look forward to our next meeting.”

Verden nodded instead of answering.

Then, it soared into the sky and left the Dominion of Midlos in the blink of an eye.

“You finally left… … .”

“Ugh, I feel a little more at ease now.”

“I should go in and have a drink.”

“You must have made a lot of money, shall we get together and have a banquet?”

“Hmm, I think that would be fine too.”

The forces of the back alley gathered together and chattered.

Maybe it’s because the tension went away, but it was a harmony that I couldn’t have imagined before. I don’t know how long that will last though.

Well, it wasn’t too bad.

Padrell thought so and moved on.

Just then, Tiff sneaked up to me.

“Hey, Padreld.”

“yes? Why?”

“If you use Smuggler’s Canyon, will you cut the money if you use it as a group?”

Trafficker Padreld.

He was also an expert on smuggling.

“Group guests are always welcome.”

* * *

An artificial cave lies in the middle of a winter forest.

Arriving on top of it, Verden released the magic circle, lowered the altitude, and landed on the ground.

Immediately after, a person appeared from inside the cave.

A tall stature and a spear that serves as a cane.

Adrian approached limping, wearing a blue robe.

“Are you here, lord?”

“Did you rest well while waiting?”

“Yes, I had a comfortable time thanks to you.”

The area around the cave was thoroughly protected by a magic circle.

Dry foods such as beef jerky and water made for a satisfying meal, and Adrian was able to meditate quietly.

To be honest, it was more about the mind than the body.

Occasional hallucinations and urges, etc.

It hadn’t been long since he was freed from mental control, so many adverse effects remained. However, even if that were the case, there would be no surrender.

Because there was a reason it had to be.

“As I said before, I will head first to the nearest big city where there is a church, no, to the country. If you are not at least a bishop-level cleric, it will be far from complete. This is the means of transportation.”

Verden stretched out his hand to the side.

A huge wagon that had been stored in subspace appeared.

It had four identical wheels and was modified by Padreld.

“It’s a fairly unusual structure.”

“It is a wagon that maximizes convenience with a constant center of gravity. When I rode it myself, the considerable impact was hardly transmitted to the inside.”

“Is that so. But where are the words… … .”

“There are no words.”

Verden activated the magic circuit.

“Because I will do the piloting myself.”

Magical power covers the entire carriage.

Soon after activating , the carriage moved and the door opened at the same time, urging boarding.

“The distance must be considerable… … Are you okay?”

“Does not matter. Because overflowing is magic.”

You can also hire people who specialize in transportation.

Just like when, in the Principality of Riviant in the past, when I received a request from the guild and set out to subdue the undead with the adventurer Iris.

But it is inconvenient in many ways.

It would take a long time to hide Adrian’s identity, as well as to be wary of sub-species that might attack at any moment.

It was better for the two of them to move together.

“And taking care of the horse is troublesome.”

For Verden, magic is a part of the body.

Soon he climbed into the soft coachman’s seat.

Adrian, who was immediately prepared, got into the carriage and lay down right behind the driver’s seat.

“First of all, I plan to move using the sky. The function built into the robe will keep you warm, but if you feel uncomfortable and want to go down, feel free to tell me. Then we will use the land route.”

To lift and move the weight of a huge wagon.

At the same time, maintaining breathing by manipulating the wind and blocking external airflow is an extremely delicate technique that no one can do.

Verden, of course, is possible.

If it lasts for a long time, it is burdensome, but in the end it is just fatigue.

“I understand, lord.”

Adrian agreed.

Verden’s magic flashed.

As we moved forward, we gradually gained altitude. The scenery of the vast mountain range was full under the clouds floating in the sky.

however.

‘… … It’s higher than I thought.’

Adrian’s eyes trembled slightly.

It was the first time in my life that I had risen to such a high level because I was a swordsman. Moreover, by horse-drawn carriage.

I swallowed quietly.

Adrian kept his head away from the window and closed his eyes.

Unknowingly, I missed the land.

How long has it been since we started, can we say let’s go down already?

‘Yes, I can’t disappoint you with such trivial things.’

There is a law that people have shame.

So I decided to persevere as much as possible. If you hold on, you might get used to it.

Adrian tried to meditate while sorting out his complicated thoughts.

The carriage carrying him sped through the blue sky in the west.

Towards the city-united nation, ‘Killience’.
