The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (23)

Magical Genius (3)

The Kepler family of Mangumga was founded by Beatus Kepler, one of the eight warriors known as the Great Masters of Mangum, but like other high-ranking nobles, they had vassal families.

Kepler’s Eightfold Path.

There were eight vassal families whose ancestors were the eight merchants who followed Beatus Kepler.

However, only six of them are officially still in existence.

Among them, the Tobias and Galton families were the most powerful because the Duke of Kepler’s first and third wives were from the Tobias and Galton families.

Someone came running into the Galton Count’s house.

“Viscount Galton! Viscount Galton!”

The one who came to find Viscount Galton in a hurry was none other than Viscount Schieber. Viscount Galton and Viscount Schieber had been close friends for generations, and had grown up together since childhood.

“Count Siebert, now that you have become a proper viscount, shouldn’t you refrain from being reckless?”

Viscount Galton spoke to Viscount Schubert as if teasing him. However, Viscount Schubert took a deep sip of the teacup placed in front of Viscount Galton and let out his pent-up breath.

“You seem to be in a hurry.”

“Now is not the time to be doing that!”

“Why, did your wife get caught up in the fact that you gave her a separate house? Why are you making such a fuss?”

At the words of Count Galton, Count Schieber shouted urgently.

“Xavier, Xavier is being taken away now!”

“Who is Xavier?”

Viscount Galton had forgotten who Xavier was, for the division of labor had been left entirely to Viscount Schubert.

“Bennio Kepler!”

“what?”

Only then did Count Galton realize the gravity of the situation and his expression changed. Count Schubert pressed his chest to calm his breathing and then said.

“That Xavier is being taken away right now! On suspicion of attempting to assassinate Benio Kepler!”

“Who figured that out?”

Count Siebert shook his head. Nothing had been known until then. But he had only found out because he had lost contact with Xavier, who was supposed to contact him periodically.

“I don’t know. But do you know who is bringing that guy here?”

Count Galton waited for Count Schubert’s next words.

“Chris Junior! That bloody bastard from Junior’s family is bringing Xavier. What should we do about it, huh?”

The count of Viscount Galton’s face changed. It was a plan that came from their heads to attach his butler, Xavier, to his second son, Benio Kepler, to ruin his reputation and make it impossible for him to return to the family.

So, he brought in Xavier, a carefully selected assassin, from the Assassins Guild at a very high price, trained him, and then gave him a contract.

But then it got caught.

That too to the youngest son of the Junior family!

“If my name comes out of Xavier’s mouth, it’ll be a disaster!”

If the name of Suber came out of Xavier’s mouth, the Duke’s wrath would probably fall. No matter how much they divided the succession structure and formed factions, poisoning Kepler’s blood would be a sin worthy of death.

Duke Kepler doesn’t care that his incompetence will make him fall behind in the competition and disappear into the back alley.

This is because he treats even his children differently according to their abilities.

But did someone touch that Kepler?

The Kepler family could never tolerate that. Only another Kepler could harm Kepler. If anyone else tried to harm him, Kepler would use all his wealth to track him down to hell and find him.

Such was the weight of the Kepler family’s blood.

“Madam, I’ll go see you. I’m sure she’ll have a good solution.”

“Please spare me, okay? If I’m not here, it will be a great loss to both Madame Sam and Lord Majia!”

We must eliminate all the angry Xavier before the whole affair reaches the ears of Duke Kepler, said Viscount Galton to Viscount Schieber.

“What are you doing! Go to the Assassin’s Guild or the Mercenary Guild and give them a thousand pieces of gold to do the job! Shouldn’t you cut off that bastard Xavier’s head?”

“Oh, I see.”

In a jiffy.

Count Schieber knew that he didn’t have much time left. That’s why he quickly got up from his seat and ran out to make the request.

The expression on the face of Count Galton changed when he saw that Count Siebert had left.

“In my generation, the Shiver family will be merged into the Galton family. The head of the family is so reckless and lacks wisdom.”

Everything he showed to Count Schieber was an act. From the beginning, he had no concern for Schieber’s safety.

Rather, it would be beneficial if this opportunity could cast a deep shadow over the Galton family on the Shiver family. This is because moving with one head was more efficient than moving with two heads.

“There must be a lot of money hidden away. I have to make sure that none of that money goes to those bastards.”

Tinkle, tinkle.

Viscount Galton calmly lifted the bell that was lying beside him. Then the butler came in and bowed his head.

“Contact Balmain. When Vicomte de Siber comes, tell him to accept the request. The target is Xavier.”

“Yes, I will do so early.”

Balmain is the name of the leader of the mercenary group secretly operated by Viscount Galton. Raised within the family from a young age and made independent, Balmain became a professional mercenary group that took care of the dirty work of the Galton family.

Count Galton intended to collect the commission fee that Count Schieber was pushing in his haste.

“But we still need Shiverga’s power. It’s better to have two names than one.”

I had planned to swallow Shiverga someday, but that wasn’t the case now. That’s why I needed Shiverga, at least to fill the numbers.

“Chris Junior, that kid who ran away to save his life seems to have grown quite a bit. But that’s all. There’s no place for you guys to return to, you’ve already been forgotten.”

Earl Galton muttered softly and rose from his seat again.

“Bring the carriage. We will go to the duke’s house.”

The eyes of the Earl of Galton shone like those of a snake.

Bang bang bang!

Benio ran, carrying Tony on his back. Tony’s wounds got worse as Chris dragged Xavier up to the house.

‘Is it poison?’

Javier viciously applied poison to the tip of the dagger. Tony’s condition was so bad that it was not obvious that he had been poisoned, but when the potion was used to treat his wound, the symptoms appeared.

‘I blocked it with a blood clot, though.’

Benio opened the door, unable to wait for the senator, who seemed to have just woken up, to come out.

“member!”

“Oh, yes!”

The senator saw Benio and immediately knew that he was a nobleman. Benio showed him Tony on his back.

“It’s an addiction. Can it be treated?”

“Is it an addiction?”

The congressman expressed his reluctance. It may be possible to understand trauma, but poisoning is extremely difficult to treat. Above all, not all congressmen are proficient in poison.

Academy District 3.

Even though he was acting as a council member in a place where the poorest and most humble people in the academy gathered, strictly speaking, he was not qualified to be called a council member.

Lying in front of a noble is a disaster.

Flounder.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I don’t think I can treat you.”

Even if it could be cured, it would be a waste to get involved with nobles. However, since the doctor was truly incompetent, Benio nodded.

“i get it.”

Tony’s breathing was getting shallower. They said they were slowing down the spread of the poison by stimulating the blood vessels, but that wasn’t the solution.

‘The Dok Hwang Shin Gong is useless to others.’

Benio was learning the Poisonous Emperor’s Sword, the antagonist of all poisons. However, its scope of application was limited to Benio only.

So Benio started running again.

Pavababak!

Benio’s feet pushed off the ground. He felt the soles of his shoes burn as he channeled his energy into the Yongcheonhyeol.

Guyangshinkong.

The aura of the extreme sun was gushing out as it was, burning the shoes. However, Benio pushed the floor away without paying attention to the hot soles of his feet.

Another problem is that he has not yet properly mastered the method of renewal. However, Benio did not slow down even though he was increasingly out of breath.

Pavabak!

As Benio entered the second district, he grabbed a merchant passing by while holding Tony in his arms.

“Do you know where the congressman is?”

“You can go down that alley, your majesty.”

The merchant bowed his head deeply. Benio went back to the senator, but the senator shook his head.

“It’s beyond my ability.”

“Okay.”

There was no time to argue about whether it was true or not. Benio ran again. When Benio jumped into the market formed by the people living in the Academy, chaos broke out.

Ssssssss!

Some people were surprised to see Benio rushing at them, even though they avoided people by following simple steps. Those people fell down, and as stalls were overturned, commotion broke out here and there.

And then something happened that Benio never expected.

“Bennio!”

Someone suddenly barged in, calling out to Benio. Benio realized it was Giovanni, but he had no time to say hello to him.

“Get out of the way!”

“Hey, dude, what’s wrong?”

As usual, Giovanni was with the two beautiful ladies by his side. Benio tried to pass him by, but Giovanni was quicker than Benio had expected.

“The servant is injured. Then come here!”

Giovanni wasn’t just walking down the street. He was looking down from a high-rise tea house overlooking the market and called out to Benio.

Benio was running towards me from afar, wreaking havoc in the market, so of course he was noticed.

“There’s a therapist here!”

“what?”

Benio tilted his head. Then he saw Giovanni smiling brightly and waving. Benio quickly ran towards the tea house.

Ranchil Teahouse.

That must have been the name. But Benio just passed the sign and ran up the stairs five at a time until he reached Giovanni.

“Hook, hook.”

“They said the aura blossomed. Is that true?”

Giovanni opened his eyes wide and looked at Benio. The movements Benio was showing were definitely movements that could not be shown without developing his aura.

‘Was it urgent?’

Benio blamed himself. He had not yet attended the lecture of the Dean of Lazio. But if he showed himself using Aura naturally, he could not help but be suspicious.

In the world of martial arts, they say you should hide three-tenths of your strength.

The fact that the news that Aura had already blossomed has spread throughout the Academy shows how powerful Benio’s power is.

“Just put it down for now.”

“Okay.”

Benio carefully put Tony down. As the teahouse attendant came up to him in commotion, Giovanni approached him and handed him the gold.

“He is my friend.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Giovanni must have been coming here quite a lot, judging by the way the employee’s eyes changed when he mentioned that he was Giovanni’s friend.

But Benio didn’t look at Giovanni.

“Are you a therapist?”

“I said I was a therapist, but I’m not a therapist. I’m just….”

Benio looked up to see a woman dressed neatly. She had buttoned up all the way to her neck, giving off an aristocratic vibe. She lowered her eyes and placed her hands on Tony’s body.

“I can only use a little magic. Purify.”

Phew!

Benio’s eyes widened. He felt a flow of energy from the woman, and then a bright light emanated from her hand and projected onto Tony.

“Okay.”

Benio quickly felt Tony’s pulse. Then, surprisingly, Tony’s agitated pulse calmed down. At the same time, the poison that Benio had blocked disappeared without a trace.

“I was tired of listening to Giovanni chattering away, so I guess it was a good idea to follow him. Cadet Benio, my name is Coco Celine, a fifth-year student in the Faculty of Magic.”

Coco Celine, a student of the Faculty of Magic, extended her long, thin finger to Benio. Benio felt something as he looked at Coco like that.

‘It was said that this was the first time in the thousand-year history of the Academy that a cadet had blossomed into an Auror.’

That may not be a lie. But the world is wide, and there are always those who hide their power and do not reveal it.

Coco Celine.

Benio, who had awakened her Aura, realized that she was a wizard of equal status to him.
