I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 171

Chapter 171

Episode 171

‘No, I only had one drink!’

Chris looked incredulous.

If you drank a lot, you wouldn’t know.

Is this what happens after just one glass?

‘How weak is this body to alcohol?’

For a moment, a feeling of anxiety welled up within me.

This body, perhaps, was not the type to tolerate alcohol at all.

‘No, you drank a lot when you were a loser, right? Did you get so drunk that you started acting up after drinking just a little bit?’

Chris shook his head forcefully.

‘Because you’re still young. Things might change when you become an adult.’

But before he knew it, his physical age had also turned seventeen.

I was skeptical about how much change there would be in my constitution after becoming an adult a year later.

‘… I can’t drink alcohol. That’s ridiculous… That’s ridiculous… .’

Chris made a vain face.

He loved alcohol very, very much.

I was just waiting to become an adult because of alcohol, so this news was like a bolt from the blue.

Not knowing Chris’s vanity, those around him comfortably blurted out things like this.

“No, that won’t work. If you’re going to drink alcohol from now on, get permission from this older sister. Baby.”

Jupien shook his head.

“Hahaha! How about having a drink with me, Your Majesty! I, Alos! I really want to have a drink with Your Majesty!”

Alos, who is excited and is dancing to the tune of Odubangjeong.

“…Ahem. Well, I was glad to see you in such an unexpected way. So… you looked cute when you were drunk.”

Merlin coughs.

‘… It’s noisy, everyone get out!’

I didn’t have the energy to shout, so I just gestured.

Marie noticed and let out a low laugh.

[Oh ho ho. Everyone, please get out of here. Now, the young master and I are going to spend some sweet time together.]

“…Marie, won’t you go out too?”

[You are embarrassed. Oh, how cute. How lovely our master is. The girl will prepare a special hangover cure, virgin blood juice, with lots of affection.]

I didn’t have the energy to complain any more, so I just collapsed on the bed.

‘This won’t do. I need to find a secret to increasing my drinking capacity.’

It may seem like such a secret technique exists in this world, but Chris was serious. He couldn’t live in a world where he couldn’t drink alcohol.

‘What good would it do if you become the Demon King and enjoy the world’s greatest wealth and fame? You can’t even drink alcohol! We have to find a way, yuck.’

As I was staggering about, feeling like I was about to vomit again, I heard a voice that seemed to say, “What’s going on?”

“…You passed out after drinking a glass of alcohol. You’re a real sweetheart.”

“!!”

It was the Marquis of Schuppen!

He appeared out of nowhere, looking down at Chris with eyes filled with pity.

“I hope that in the future you will show an appearance befitting the dignity of a Grand Duke.”

“…Doesn’t this really matter?”

Chris grumbled and straightened his posture.

“What brings you here?”

“Before you go into the closed-door training, I have something to say.”

Marquis Shupen is currently an 8-star Advance, but has not yet reached full 8-star status.

I want to practice closed-door training to collect my achievements and reach the perfect 8-star level.

After Marquis Shupen’s closed training is over, Dark Maga will give birth to another 8-star Almighty class top mine.

The problem was time.

“I don’t know how long the closed-door training will take. I’ll try my best to hurry, but I also need to heal my internal injuries, so it’ll probably take at least half a year at the earliest.”

When Chris entered Patera’s mind, Marquis Shupen was overwhelmed by the power Patera unleashed, and suffered severe internal injuries.

It took quite a bit of time because I had to combine it with treatment.

“I can’t protect you for that long. Are you sure that’s okay?”

Marquis Schuppen was a man of great worries until the very end.

There was no choice.

Nordic couldn’t be Chris’ real power because of ‘restrictions’.

So whatever happens, Chris has to face it alone.

but.

“You keep the temple. Your Majesty, you keep saying strange things. I disagree.”

Chris shook his head.

“Your Majesty has pledged loyalty to me. Therefore, it is not you who must protect me, but me.”

“!!”

“The lowly one submits to the high, and the high one protects the lowly one. This is the loyalty relationship of the mines.”

Chris continued.

“Not just Your Majesty. I will protect all of Dark Maga. Dark Maga is now mine.”

It wasn’t just words.

Becoming the Grand Duke means becoming the next head of the family.

To put it more bluntly, it means that he is now the next master of the Dark Maga.

Chris was a greedy person and could never tolerate anyone coveting his possessions.

“Of course, I know I still have shortcomings. But don’t worry. No matter what storms come, I will protect Dark Maga.”

actually.

That’s not what Chris is planning.

The plan is to make Dark Maga stand tall above all other magic powers.

‘My goal from the beginning wasn’t to obtain the Dark Maga.’

His goal was to rise to the top of the Magic Empire.

We’ve only just taken the first step.

“Trust me and go in peace. By the time the closed-door training is over, many things will have changed.”

A voice that sounds so confident that it almost sounds arrogant.

Marquis Schuppen sighed.

“Even if you say that while you’re still hungover, I don’t really believe you.”

“…….”

“Still, I’ll believe it. Because I’ve decided to believe it.”

Chris scratched his head.

“Are you going to start the closed training right now?”

“Okay. I’ve roughly taken care of what needs to be taken care of, so I should go in.”

“Can you do one thing before you go? Please keep me as your deputy commander.”

“!!”

For reference, the rules for the succession test were as follows.

-Become the Vice Commander and gain the loyalty of the Dark Lord.

So originally, the deputy commander should have been appointed first, but Christian received loyalty first.

Rules are rules, so Marquis Schuppen promoted Christian to second-in-command and then went through the process of having him swear allegiance.

So now Christian was the deputy commander of the Dark Army, albeit in name only.

“Why? Aren’t you going back to your parents’ house anyway?”

“That’s true, but I just in case there’s a situation where I might need this title.”

“Hmm?”

The Marquis of Schuppen’s eyes took on a strange expression.

I figured out that Christian was using his position as Deputy Commander to plot something!

“…What are you thinking?”

“It’s difficult to explain in detail, but it’s for the Dark Maga.”

soon of late.

A major incident occurs between Dark Maga and Poison Maga.

At that time, Christian planned to use the power of the Dark Lord.

“…I understand. Do as you wish. Just remember one thing. Be careful….”

“I know even if you don’t say it. You don’t have to worry.”

Chris chuckled.

“When I finish my closed-door training, Your Majesty will look up to me.”

I was being sincere.

By the time his career is over, Chris’s status will have changed beyond comparison.

Marquis Schuppen will never be able to treat Christian as comfortably as he does now.

‘It starts with the crowning ceremony of the Grand Duke.’

Christian lowered his eyes.

It wasn’t just a simple celebration.

A place where all the powerful people of the Magic Empire watch and evaluate Christian.

‘It’s not a good situation.’

Christoma knew that his reputation within the Empire was not good.

but.

‘It’s okay. It’s actually an opportunity.’

That day.

Everyone in the Magic Empire will know.

What kind of person is Chris?

He planned to make a grand announcement to the entire Magic Empire about who he was through the investiture ceremony for the Grand Duke.

Everyone in the Magic Empire will be in a state of great shock.

* * *

The coronation ceremony for the grand prince of the prestigious Magic Family is a very large event.

In terms of union, it could be compared to the crowning ceremony of a crown prince in a decent kingdom.

It was no exaggeration. Each of the Magical Clans had more power than several of the smaller kingdoms of the Alliance combined.

Although they are a people who do not value formality, it was different during the crowning ceremony of the Grand Duke.

They send out invitations throughout the Magic Empire and show off their family’s prestige with splendid and grand events.

This was the same for Christian’s investiture ceremony, with invitations sent from the Dark Maga circulating throughout the entire Magic Empire.

The other twelve prestigious families of the Magic Kingdom were especially invited as important guests.

An invitation from the Dark Magic Clan arrived to all the prestigious magic families, even to the hostile Four Kings Castle.

However, the prestigious families who received the invitations generally reacted lukewarmly.

It was because I was secretly ignoring the Dark Maga.

In particular, the families of the ‘Triangle Alliance’ of the Western Magical Nation, located far away from Dark Maga, had this kind of reaction.

“Christian. The rumors I’ve been hearing lately are quite grand.”

“Well, it’s only 5 stars, what’s there to look at?”

“You said you got to 5 stars in 2 years? If that’s true, isn’t that amazing?”

“Of course, if the rumor is true, it would be great, but it is nonsense. If the Dark Maga are going to brag, they will do it properly. Even His Majesty the Demon Sword King of this family was unable to achieve such speed in his time.”

At the words of the elder of ‘Ghost Sword Maga’, the other members of the Triangle Alliance, ‘Demon Beast Maga’ and ‘Illusion Maga’ nodded.

For reference, the families of the Triangle Alliance were on good terms and cooperated well with each other, unlike other prestigious magical families.

“Then who would be best to send?”

The type of person sent as an envoy was a clear indicator of how the family evaluated the other party.

“It is customary to send direct bloodlines.”

“Originally, it would be right to send a fellow Grand Duke or a direct elder, but was that really necessary? The movements of the crazy fanatics of the Holy Empire are also unusual these days.”

“The Mirror Ice Palace and the Round Table guys are also chirping like flies.”

The decision was made quickly.

“Let’s send suitable officials from among the second-line officials.”

It refers to those among the Confucian scholars who are relatively distant from the next generation of the ruling family.

It was a humiliating decision for the Dark Maga.

But there was nothing I could do.

This happened because the prestige of the Dark Maga had fallen to that low.

If the Dark Maga were still as powerful as they were in their prime, they would never have made this decision.

In decline.

A family that will fall when the Norse’s lifespan ends.

This was the public opinion of Dark Maga.

Other families also began sending envoys to the investiture ceremony.

Destruction Mark.

“Don’t forget. We must give that bastard Christian the worst humiliation.”

“Don’t worry.”

Philip raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at Kashmir, which was waiting for him in the distance.

Philip hated Kashmir.

This time I planned to humiliate him with that Christian guy.

“He’ll end up in the gutter in front of everyone.”
