I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 150

Chapter 150

Episode 150

Chijik.

The cigarette that Marquis Schuppen had been holding in his mouth was lit.

Chris lit the cigarette without anyone knowing.

“Go, Your Majesty!”

The adjutant shouted in surprise.

“…Just stay still. It’s nothing.”

Although he answered calmly, Marquis Schuppen had to try hard to hide his surprise.

‘In an instant, did you use illusionary magic to cleverly confuse my perception, while at the same time using the nature of the dark magic’s control to exert physical force and light the cigarette?’

Of course, this was also because Marquis Schuppen allowed him to be somewhat playful. He judged that it was not a threat to him, so he did not react when he first felt the discomfort.

Still, it was unbelievable.

Even if it was only for a moment, I succeeded in ‘partially’ confusing the perception of the 7-star mine.

It meant that Chris’s skill in performing illusions was far superior to his achievements.

The same goes for the fire.

The fire that just started wasn’t black magic.

If it was black magic, Marquis Shupen would have blocked it immediately.

Surprisingly, it was purely spontaneous combustion caused by physical force.

To be exact, he used the power of dark magic to interfere with physical force and cause a combustion phenomenon.

I couldn’t even guess how much insane magical power one must have to have to interfere with the physical forces of a space that was out of reach and cause a ignition phenomenon.

“As you can see, I’m not your average mine.”

“…….”

Chris continued speaking straight.

“More than anything, wouldn’t I be more helpful to the Dark Maga than Marquis Langham?”

“!!”

“Your Majesty, you must have guessed it. What dark intentions the Marquis of Langham has?”

The Marquis of Schuppen’s face hardened.

“It doesn’t matter what Langham is hiding.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, our Marquis Shupen is just a watchdog who follows the orders of the head of the household and protects the family from outsiders. It is strictly forbidden to take an interest in what is happening inside the main house.”

The Marquis Shupen is a family that has a long history with the Dark Maga.

While many collateral families rose and fell, he remained steadfast and always stood tall as the leader of the collateral families.

There was only one secret.

The Marquis Schuppen only performed his duties and never interfered in the politics of his family.

No matter what dirty and terrible chaos was going on at home, he never looked back and was only faithful to his duty of protecting the Dark Maga from external enemies.

It is the right attitude and deserves respect.

“Can we truly say that turning a blind eye to something that is obviously wrong is an action that serves the Dark Maga?”

“!!”

The Marquis of Schuppen’s face hardened.

“Of course I understand. Each person has their own duties. The duty of the Marquis Shupen is to protect the Dark Maga from external forces. The wrongdoings of the main family must be corrected by the main family members.”

“…….”

Chris looked straight at Marquis Schuppen.

“Instead, please watch over me properly. I will not only become the Archduke, but I will establish Dark Maga properly. No, I will make Dark Maga stand tall in the coming tribulation.”

“…Do you think you can do it with your own strength?”

Chris chuckled.

“You will know when you see it.”

“!!”

“I will prove that I am worthy of being the master of Dark Maga. No, more than that, I will prove that I am the one who will renew Dark Maga. Dark Maga will be completely reborn under my hands.”

Marquis Schuppen frowned.

It’s an absurd, ridiculous story.

But why is that?

Doesn’t that sound like complete nonsense?

okay.

Just like I saw it as a child.

It was like seeing the heyday of the Gaju Nordics.

Brimming with passion and confidence for the Dark Maga.

“You speak so fluently. You don’t even have the qualifications to be a deputy commander right now.”

Marquis Schuppen sneered.

“According to the rules of the Dark Lords, to become a Vice-Commander, you must be able to defeat at least one of the five generals by force.”

Refers to the five generals who lead the Dark Army.

They were all six-star realms.

However, at the current level, there were those who could not compete with Chris.

“Let’s try.”

“…what?”

“Just give me two months, and I’ll show you how to defeat one of the five generals.”

Marquis Schuppen made a face of disbelief.

“Isn’t your current achievement a 4-star award? So what? You’re going to try to defeat the Great General in two months? There’s a limit to how much nonsense you can say.”

It was a natural reaction.

Beyond that, Marquis Schuppen’s heart grew cold.

The ambition Chris had just uttered also felt like the empty words of a windbag.

but.

“It’s not nonsense.”

“!!”

“If in two months I fail to defeat one of the five generals, you can kick me out.”

Christian’s eyes were calm, without any determination or resolution.

As if talking about something that could be done naturally.

“…What on earth are you thinking?”

“It’s nothing.”

Chris answered calmly.

“Two months is a very long time, especially for a genius like me.”

“!!”

“As I said before, just wait and see what I look like in two months.”

Marquis Schuppen frowned.

I had that strange feeling again.

It’s a ridiculous story, but it doesn’t sound like a lie.

Finally, Marquis Schuppen ended the conversation with a laugh.

“Okay, I’ll watch. I hope the results turn out to be at least half of what you said.”

With that, the son-in-law fell into silence.

Before going to bed, Christian thought to himself.

‘Marquis Schuppen. He is a man who cannot be ignored in many ways.’

Although he was a bit of a brat, he was a respectable person.

Just one question came to mind.

‘Who on earth is killing Marquis Schuppen?’

Marquis Schuppen will soon meet his death.

‘I don’t remember exactly, but it was before the end of this year. Not right now, but there’s not much left. Maybe three months or so. The problem is, I don’t know who will kill me.’

I remembered what the dark gossip had said.

– The death of Marquis Shupen was questionable in many ways. He went on a solo mission and was killed. How could a miner of that caliber be killed without anyone knowing? Everyone assumed that the culprit was Sawangseong, but there was absolutely no trace of Sawangseong on the body.

It was an unsolved case in which the murderer was never identified until the end.

‘Anyway, we have to stop it.’

Chris closed his eyes and thought.

I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I absolutely had to become the deputy commander to stop it.

There are two months left.

It was time to get stronger.

* * *

Meanwhile, at the main house, there was someone looking north, where Christian and Marquis Schuppen had left.

He was the Marquis of Langham.

In the dark room under the lamplight, his cold, sunken eyes sparkled.

At that moment, someone emerged from the darkness and spoke to Marquis Langham.

[Everything is going according to Your Majesty’s plan.]

A mechanical voice with no highs or lows.

It was a shadowy figure wearing a one-eyed mask that completely covered its face, and surprisingly, it looked exactly like the ‘execution doll’ that Christian had met at Gold Cross.

Marquis Langham glanced away.

“Are you here?”

[Yes, I am the representative of the Dark Maga family. I am the ninth doll of Lady Merhen and am in charge of the role of ‘messenger.’]

Amazing scene.

The Marquis of Langham was really in collusion with the Four Kings.

“It’s not the first time, so there’s no need to act like a clown every time.”

[Hehehe. That’s right. Even if I stay for too long, it’ll only cause trouble, so I’ll just get to the point.]

The bottom of the doll’s mask opens to reveal a smile.

[Preparations are going well. Marquis Schuppen will die as planned. Just as you wished.]

A shocking story.

It is said that the Marquis of Langham instigated the assassination of the Marquis of Shupen at the Four Kings Castle.

The reason was simple.

‘It will be an obstacle to my plans.’

Marquis Langham thought with cold eyes.

In fact, Marquis Schuppen was not his enemy. Rather, he was someone he could call a ‘friend’.

However, Marquis Shupen is someone who is only loyal to his master.

They want to get rid of it in advance because it will be an obstacle that blocks Marquis Langham’s ‘plan’.

“Are you sure you’re preparing properly? There absolutely must not be any trace of your Four Kings.”

[Hehe, don’t worry. We have no intention of starting a war with the Southern Magic Nation by throwing a spark when we haven’t completely subdued the Blood Sword Maga side. The tool that ‘they’ gave us will be the one to deal with Marquis Shupen.]

‘them’.

The unidentified people that Grand Duchess Idrine of Blood Sword Maga had mentioned a while ago were mentioned by the doll’s mouth.

[They are Jokers, no, they are close to a natural disaster. Marquis Shupen will not escape death.]

Surely, if ‘they’ had come forward, there would have been nothing to worry about.

But Marquis Langham added a chilling remark.

“When you eliminate Marquis Shupen, may I ask you to take care of one more person?”

[Hmm?]

“Kill Christian too.”

The doll’s mouth was split open all the way up.

A creepy laugh came out.

[Kilkil, that’s an interesting story. We’re also very interested in the Christian princes.]

“…….”

[I’m sorry, I can’t grant you that request.]

The Marquis of Langham frowned.

“Why? It shouldn’t be difficult.”

[Of course, it’s a simple task. However, this is not something we are going to do, but something we are going to have to rely on ‘them’. If we want to request additional targets, we will have to offer more tribute.]

The Marquis of Langham understood what the doll meant.

“Does this mean we also have to pay additional commission fees?”

[Haha, you are indeed a wise person. You understand quickly. That is correct. Asking ‘them’ for additional requests is also a huge burden for us, so it is difficult to do it with a normal salary.]

The doll spoke with a big smile.

[Offer your son, Ashed, to my master Merhen.]

“!!”

The Marquis of Langham’s eyes hardened.

“What does that mean?”

[Oh, I didn’t mean it. My master Merhen’s favorite third doll was broken because of Prince Christian, so I have to make a new one.]

“…….”

[I thought that the body of Prince Ashid, who was once a promising prince of the Dark Maga, would be suitable for use as a doll.]

Horrible story.

Even though Marquis Langham is a heartless man, he is still a father and would turn his son into a doll.

[Since Prince Ashed is now completely ruined and beyond recovery, I think this isn’t a bad suggestion…]

“Okay, do that.”

The Marquis of Langham answered briefly.

“Instead, make sure you deal with that Christian.”

The doll opened its eyes wide for a moment at the unhesitating choice.

[Heh heh, no matter how I look at it, you are not a dark magician, but someone who fits our Four Kings Castle.]
