I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 199

Chapter 199

Episode 199

It was then that I was sending my covetous gaze back at Chris.

Christian said something unexpected.

“It seems like it’s almost over, so let’s discuss what kind of compensation the Poison Maga side will give to the Dark Maga.”

“…compensation?”

“The verdict handed down by His Majesty the Demon King is merely a punishment for the sins of Marquis Goras. The Poisonous Maga must separately compensate the Dark Maga. Surely you are not trying to wipe your mouth, are you?”

Chris said in a teasing voice.

“In particular, the lord seems to feel a great sense of responsibility for this situation, so I believe he will definitely provide appropriate compensation.”

It meant that since you received it from me, I should spit it out.

Duke Huam let out a hollow laugh.

‘There are no gaps. Amazing. I don’t want to miss it…’

“Good. This incident is clearly the fault of the main family, so I will make sure that the Dark Maga pays the price they deserve.”

Chris raised the corners of his mouth in response.

Vicious.

A smile that makes you feel something cold.

And after hearing Chris’s words, the Duke of Huam’s eyes began to grow wide.

It will make you completely forget all the admiration you had until now.

The thieving demands continued.

* * *

After the agreement was finalized, Chris had a separate meeting with Duke Huam.

“…I really appreciate this. I owe you a great favor.”

“you’re welcome.”

“…But isn’t that too much? No matter what, they’re ripping off the compensation like that.”

Chris shrugged.

“When you can tear it off, you have to tear it off as much as possible.”

Duke Huam sighed and held out his teacup.

“Here, drink.”

“Thank you. Is this tea poisoned by any chance?”

“…I feel like mixing in a few drops right now.”

Even the Duke of Huam, who was friendly to Christian, was so thorough in demanding compensation that he even turned his back on him.

First of all, a lot of money.

Didn’t you say you were going to receive the money from Marquis Goras?

That is compensation, and the extreme poison Maga side has claimed compensation for mental distress.

There, they also took away a lot of relics that belonged to the extremely poisonous Maga, and decided to take three of the four territories that they had conquered from the dark Maga.

The remaining three places were excluding the Kalia region, which had a water source.

The transfer of ownership of the three territories was a painful blow to the extremely poisonous Maga.

“Well, don’t think too badly of it. It won’t be all bad for Your Majesty either.”

“Not bad?”

“Yes. Wouldn’t this further highlight the faults of Marquis Goras?”

That was right.

The one who caused this situation was Marquis Goras.

The reason why the poisonous Maga had to accept such unfavorable conditions was because Christian demanded it in exchange for a light punishment from the Marquis of Goras.

The position of Marquis Goras will become even more difficult.

“You will keep the treaty that all the poisonous plants in the Sesia territory will be supplied to the Extreme Poison Maga side, right? If you don’t keep that treaty, you will never be able to transfer the territory.”

“Of course, as long as you pay enough.”

For reference, this transaction was to be conducted through Rudolf’s upper level in Ruina.

It was to reward Ruina for her hard work, and at the same time, it was to give Chris some money on the side.

‘I worked hard, so it would be disappointing if only the Dark Maga took the profits, so I should put half of the profits in my back pocket through Ruina.’

Of course, when he finally gets his hands on Dark Maga, Dark Maga’s money will become his, but the more he can stuff in his back pocket, the better.

Chris said to Duke Huam, who still couldn’t shake off his uneasiness.

“And anyway, wouldn’t the poisonous Maga and our dark Maga become one family?”

“!!”

Duke Huam flinched.

It was a story about the Dark Alliance.

“I heard you’re going to rebuild the Dark Alliance. Are you serious?”

“Of course I am sincere.”

“Do you think our poisonous Maga will follow?”

The Duke of Huam had great favor with Christian.

Especially this time, because it’s a favor I can’t repay.

But even so, the Poisonous Maga could not agree to stand under the Dark Maga.

“You must follow. Otherwise, even the most poisonous Maga will not be able to withstand the storms that are coming.”

“…what.”

“Of course, I have no intention of forcing it on you. I have no intention of harming or being hostile to the Poisonous Maga, so there is no need to be wary. However, in the near future, the Poisonous Maga will make the choice to stand under the Dark Maga.”

Duke Huam frowned.

The poisonous Maga will kneel down on his own.

That’s ridiculous.

But Chris just smiled.

‘Because Duke Huam doesn’t know what will happen to Geukdok Maga in the future.’

Fortunately, this ‘Dokam conflict’ was resolved safely, but the disaster that would befall the poisonous Maga was not the end.

The ‘Jinnok (鎭綠) change’ was real.

‘This is an incident that will shake the whole of Maga to its core.’

Christian intended to solve the problem of the green moss and gain the loyalty of the poisonous Maga.

“We’ll talk about the Dark Alliance later. For now, I have something else to wrap up.”

“Are you talking about Dokjeong (毒井)?”

The essence of the power of the poisonous Maga.

“Yes. As promised, please give me a chance to gain independence.”

“You really want to challenge dictatorship? Do you know how dangerous it is?”

“Yes. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of that.”

Duke Huam shook his head.

“In fact, it is not easy for you to challenge the dictatorship. Since you are an outsider, there will be a lot of opposition. There is only one way.”

“What is it?”

“Become a member of our poisonous Maga.”

“…What do you mean?”

“It’s simple. You just have to reconnect with Marisa.”

“!!”

“Because I give the right to challenge the dictatorship to a son-in-law who is not a blood relative. Of course, you cannot become the son-in-law, so I will try to give you the right through my authority.”

Duke Huam spoke in a hushed tone.

“Weren’t you and Marisa originally engaged? Even if it wasn’t because of the poison, I think it wouldn’t be a bad thing for both the poisonous Maga and the dark Maga for the two of you to be reunited.”

But Chris just shook his head.

“I refuse.”

“…Why?”

“I have no intention of getting married yet.”

The road ahead is long, so what kind of engagement is this?

‘You should get married later, when everything is over and you have the time.’

Above all, Chris was secretly a pure-hearted person and did not want a political marriage.

‘Why am I going through all this trouble to prevent the destruction of the world? I just want to eat well, live well, and live happily, so political marriage is out of the question!’

“There must be a way, even if it’s not necessarily a wedding. I will become the disciple of the most poisonous Maga.”

“…You become my disciple?”

“Yes. Even if you are not a blood relative, if you become a disciple, you can challenge the Dokjeong.”

Duke Huam opened his eyes wide.

Even if you are not a blood relative, the Poison Maga will give you the opportunity to take control of the kingdom if you have the skills.

So, I decided to become a disciple and challenge myself.

“You, the grand duke of the Dark Maga, would become the disciple of the Poison Maga? Do you think that makes sense?”

“Of course, I don’t mean to say that I will join the Extreme Poison Maga. I will just temporarily become a disciple for a few months.”

Chris shrugged and continued.

“It is unprecedented, but it is not impossible, is it? The justification is determined by the person who gives it. For the sake of the friendship between the two families, it is okay to receive teachings through exchanges. Your Majesty, please take care of this part yourself.”

Duke Huam asked back with a face that said it was nonsense.

“No, even if you become a disciple, how will you be qualified to challenge the Dokjeong? Do you also know that a disciple must pass a test to challenge the Dokjeong?”

Once you become a blood relative, it is relatively easy to gain the right to challenge the dictatorship.

Because all you need is the approval of the heads of households and elders.

So, I was talking about my engagement with Marisa.

But it was different for ordinary disciples.

Naturally, the conditions were much more stringent.

I had to pass a test called ‘The Path of Poison’.

The problem is that this test is usually not difficult.

Even for those who had practiced poison for decades, it was not easy to pass.

It was a test that required a minimum of 5 stars, usually 6 stars.

“Even if you take the next exam in two years, there is no chance that you will pass the ‘Path of Poison’.”

“You don’t plan on challenging it in two years?”

“Then are you talking about the next 4 years? That’s impossible. After 6 years, you might have some hope, since you’re a genius of all time.”

But then Chris said something that made me doubt my ears.

“What are you talking about? Of course I have to try this time.”

“…what?”

“Isn’t the path to poison opening soon? Then, I will obtain the qualification.”

“!!”

Duke Huam made a bewildered face.

“No, what kind of nonsense is that? Or are you, by any chance, also deeply learning poison without anyone knowing?”

“I only know the basics of poison.”

“however?”

“Because I’m a genius.”

“…….”

Duke Huam was speechless and kept his mouth shut.

Christian just smiled and said this.

“Don’t worry. I can pass that test. Your Majesty, please help me become the temporary disciple of the Maga of the Poisonous.”

* * *

Duke Huam responded that it was absolutely impossible, but nodded at Christian’s persistence.

It seemed like the idea was to leave it alone since it wasn’t going to work out anyway.

“You will return to your hometown as a temporary disciple in a month. I need time to persuade those who oppose.”

Chris nodded.

It seemed like the Dark Magi could take care of their internal affairs during the remaining month.

“Since you are a temporary disciple and not a full-time one, I think we need to set a period for you to receive instruction. How long would be appropriate?”

“Let’s do it for two months.”

“…Two months?”

“Yes. Two months is enough time.”

Duke Huam made a face of bewilderment.

Two months was barely enough time to even get started on the basics of poison.

But Chris kept talking crazy.

“For a genius like me, that would be a very long time. It would be enough time to obtain Dokjeong.”

“…okay.”

Duke Huam didn’t know how to react to this tall tale, so he just nodded his head in bewilderment.

“But is that okay?”

Duke Huam said with concern.

“Even if it’s temporary, if you become my disciple and come back to my hometown, you might encounter some troubles.”

Chris understood the Duke of Huam’s concerns.

He is the grand prince of the Dark Maga, an enemy family.

In particular, there will be many who will be gnashing their teeth because they have gone so far as to eat Marquis Goras, the leader of the greatest force of the poisonous Maga.

“it’s okay.”

Chris laughed ferociously, revealing his teeth.

“If there are people who start a fight without knowing the topic, we can just destroy them all.”

“!!”

I was sincere.

‘The reason I wanted to become a disciple of the most poisonous Maga in the first place was not because I simply wanted to be poisonous.’

In fact, if it was just for the sake of solitude, there was no need to go through such a hassle to become a disciple.

His real goal is the so-called ‘dojo breaking’.

To be precise, it was to show his greatness to the poisonous Mark.

Because he intends to subdue the poisonous Maga.
