Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 308



Only Noblemtl

Episode 308: Secret Meeting (1)

The right arm was broken in pieces.

Fortunately, he was good at first aid, and thanks to his fast natural healing power, there were no misaligned parts. However, another area was a problem.

The nerves in his left arm are swollen, probably from a major blow.

The joints of both legs were also the same. It was quite unreasonable to know what kind of overload it was, and the muscles of the whole body clearly showed signs of rupture.

Bishop Lena was frightened.

“If this was a normal person, he would be in the middle of death by now, let alone faint? But to move like this… … It must be in great pain?”

I couldn’t say there was no pain.

But it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t endure it, but it was enough to endure it.

It was caused by being abused as a test subject for years.

Compared to the excruciating pain of the time that was so etched into my memory, to be honest, it wasn’t that great now.

I don’t shake or even nod at something like this.

It was the case with Verden.

Of course, there was no way Bishop Lena knew this.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Verden and Adrian looked at each other.

“A bit of sparring… … .”

“yes? Dalian? what the hell did you do… … No, I don’t know who the opponent is, but it’s clear that he’s insane. You made a normal person into very rags. Hey, I don’t know who it is, but you’d better not associate with that person. Isn’t it best not to get involved with a madman?”

“… … .”

Verden’s taste was bitter.

It was unavoidable.

Because there was no other way to subdue Adrian than to rough it up like this.

Since I originally intended to break all the limbs, I thought this was the best result… … .

“My lord———”

“So how long will recovery take?”

Just as Adrian was about to retort, Verden jumped at him.

“In my opinion, you should take at least a month of rest, taking treatments from time to time. Of course, under the assumption that I, the bishop, manage it. Trauma is also trauma, but I need overall mental and physical stability.”

at least one month

It took longer than expected, but there was nothing I couldn’t understand. There is no reason to leave aftereffects… … .

“but!”

Bishop Lena grinned.

“In the usual way, anyway.”

“So you’re saying there’s another way?”

“If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have said anything. Even though I can be playful, I never play around with people who are injured.”

She straightened both index fingers.

“I will ask the guardian. Conventional treatment methods and very luxurious treatments. Which of the two do you want?”

A very luxurious treatment?

“What difference does it make?”

“The former is a miracle of healing, and I take care of it, and the latter is a great miracle through a ritual.”

Bishop Lena lifted her clothes.

A silver cross with a rounded tip gleamed there.

Adrian reacted.

“That sign… … Higher Bishop?”

“Exactly. Not only that, but I was famous for having the most divine power among my classmates who had completed the upper bishop course. Aren’t you being dispatched to a city-state at this age for no reason?”

Her pink hair fluttered.

“If you use the highest miracle I can use, the trauma and internal wounds on your body can be improved as well as completely cured in a matter of days. Instead, there are several limitations.”

The disease cannot be cured.

A lost body never returns. Vital organs such as the heart or brain cannot be treated. and so on… … .

“Fortunately, in your case, there are no restrictions at all. Well, you could call it luck, but besides the constraints, it comes with the most lethal price that cannot be ignored.”

It was a serious voice different from the one before.

What kind of price does it entail? As he listened, Bishop Lena curled his index finger and thumb.

The circle pointed to Verden.

“This is ridiculously expensive.”

* * *

The bishop’s answer was snobbish.

“It’s really, really hard to use a high level miracle with a ritual. In addition, there are a lot of restrictions, so there are things to prepare because I haven’t used it a few times since I was born. If a person puts in effort, shouldn’t he be rewarded appropriately? So please fill the donation box.”

The eyes of the cleric standing behind him were glinting.

“Bishop Lena!! You can get over that light attitude though! but! I am! Didn’t I tell you not to talk like buying and selling miracles like that!”

“Honestly, it is true that offerings are received in exchange for miracles, right? The only difference is whether you say it in a detour or not. And it is not written in the doctrine that you must do so.”

“still!!”

“It’s not like the Archbishop will come. Then what does it matter?”

The priest couldn’t control his mind at the direct speech.

‘… … This is the first church member like this.’

It seemed that the notion of a priest that Verden had built during his life was being shattered.

It wasn’t bad though.

It was much better than spinning around and subtly hiding the meaning of the words.

“So how much is it?”

“About this much!”

Bishop Lena extended her finger.

Verden, who checked the front seat and estimated the back seat, took out a bundle of cash from the subspace. The offering box rang with a heavy sound.

“Wow, money coming out of thin air? I don’t think it’s a space bag or magic… … Is it an artifact?”

“Do you need an answer?”

“No, I just think I’m super rich! Thanks to you, I am enriched… … Hmmmm, no, thank you for donating a lot of money for Luas! So, shall we go straight into the ceremony? If we do it now, it should be over in the middle of the night.”

“Didn’t you say you had something to prepare?”

“You must prepare your mind as well, right?”

Are you crazy

Verden looked away.

“What do you want to do?”

“I want to do it right now, if you will.”

The offering cost too much money.

That’s why Adrian wanted to get back to normal condition as soon as possible. Because the more I swayed, the more I got in the way.

“i get it. Then I’ll see you later at the inn.”

“See you later, lord.”

Soon after, Verden left the church.

As if intrigued, Bishop Lena’s eyes lit up.

“Hehe, lord. You have a very nice person. Were you a noble? Or, judging by his outfit, is he a mage from the Mage Tower?”

“Don’t you dare guess.”

Adrian responded coldly.

In the past and now, he had never shown respect to anyone except for Verden and his teacher. He hadn’t even thought of that.

Whether the opponent is a noble, a bishop, or a king.

“Oh my, be picky… … . Oh, there is one side effect that I forgot while talking about it.”

Bishop Lena trembled.

“I have never experienced this miracle myself. Experienced people say it hurts a lot. Still, you seem to tolerate pain very well, so it’s okay, right?”

It was an innocent smile.

Adrian quietly clenched his fists. Fortunately, he didn’t wield anything.

* * *

The sun began to decline.

Verden was looking out the window from his room.

The Hein River with a bright yellow sunset, with pieces of ice floating away in the chilly cold.

The view outside was good, perhaps because it was the most expensive inn in the River Run and competed for the water level.

‘When will he come?’

A date was set for tomorrow, but no specific time or place was mentioned.

Even so, the fact that Leila nodded must have meant that she would come find her. As Verden enjoyed the scenery for a while, he felt a presence nearby.

‘Entrance… … It’s not.’

He quietly raised his gaze.

Then I heard the sound of the attic window opening.

Soon, part of the ceiling opened and Leila landed in the room where Verden was. She fanned lightly and blew the dust outside.

“Ah, thank you.”

“Why are you out there?”

“that is… … There is an unavoidable situation. If I have to make an excuse, it’s like the reason I didn’t say hello properly yesterday.”

Tuk-tuk. Leila brushed off her armor.

“Nice to meet you anyway, Asher. By the way, you look tired somewhere?”

“… … I went to church and there was a tired bishop.”

“Ah, Bishop Lena.”

“Do you know?”

Leila tapped the helmet.

“sure. As I said before, to alleviate the curse within, you need to periodically receive a blessing from the church. So we met a few times… … Compared to other bishops, he is definitely a different, no, very peculiar person. He’s also famous in River Run.”

Apparently, Bishop Lena is a celebrity in the city.

“You haven’t lifted that curse yet?”

“Unfortunately, it is. I didn’t see the demon or the shadow I was looking for. Do you remember the deal we made in the past?”

Of course I remember.

───The possibility is small, but… … If you get any information about demons, please send them through the Adventurer’s Guild. As long as it’s not widespread, it’s fine even if it’s trivial. If you do that, I’ll pay you a reasonable price, whether it’s money or something.

But no transaction took place.

Because I’ve never had any information about the devil.

“There are no demons at all in the kingdom of Estria.”

“Never mind. I didn’t expect to find clues so accidentally and easily. Then, let’s say goodbye.”

Layla’s momentum changed completely.

Her voice sank.

“Wizard Asher. I’ve heard rumors… … It’s definitely different from when I saw it in the principality. To the extent that I dare not compare to before.”

The first thing that caught my eye was the equipment.

The robe and all the accessories… … It was completely different from the time when magic was poured on the soul tree.

In particular, the platinum robe, strange ring, and necklace felt unprecedented power.

Could it be that they are all artifacts?

But there was something else more important than that.

‘… … The atmosphere is different.’

I didn’t realize it at first.

However, now that we faced each other properly, we could understand.

I raised my eyesight and spirits, but I couldn’t feel anything.

there was literally no

The feeling of facing the calm vast sea without a single wave… … Yeah, it was similar to when I dealt with the Elder of the Ark.

It was a difference of realm.

Despite the different strengths they have learned from each other, there is an overwhelming gap.

‘I remember being a 4th tier wizard… … ?’

Everything that has changed drastically compared to memories.

Laira, who was trying to estimate Verden, asked cautiously.

“What the hell happened in the meantime to make it like that?”

You don’t know about the ancient trials.

Verden remembered the tomb of the King of Darkness, no, the King of Darkness’s laboratory.

The magic battle with the manager accounted for a large part of being able to achieve the present state.

“Well, things happened.”

long to say

I had a lot to hide.

“… … is that so. I’m curious, but I won’t ask.”

Leila let out a breath.

I forcibly relaxed my tense body.

“Anyway, why did you ask to meet me? And I heard that Roapra was obtained in the kingdom of Estiria, but what happened to Kyliance… … ?”

It was a question with multiple implications.

Verden immediately got to the point.

“Leila, I have a question for you. And what to ask for.”

“As an adventurer, or as a member of the Ark. Which of the two do you have?”

“The former as an ark, the latter as an adventurer.”

“As an adventurer, I’m asking you… … .”

Leila, lost in thought for a moment, nodded.

“Well, let’s just listen.”
