I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 26

Chapter 26

Episode 26

Everyone in the family expected that Loin de Baron would monopolize the blessings of this Black Ceremony.

The blessing of the Seongheuksik is strictly based on the principle of the survival of the fittest, with the strongest among the attendees receiving many blessings.

‘I heard that after receiving the blessing of Seongheuksik, I was scheduled to become the sixth prince.’

That is, Loin de Baron was the one who would become his enemy during the Black Death.

“Yes. The old man said he was against your participation. So what did he say…?”

“It’s okay. Just tell me.”

“…Chris, I heard that you can’t have the Holy Black Ceremony with a loser like you. The other collateral blood relatives who were to attend the Holy Black Ceremony also agreed.”

“Hmm.”

Chris crossed his arms.

Count Khazar shook his head as if in trouble.

“I’ll talk to my parents again. You’re not the loser you used to be, so I’ll just talk to them. If that doesn’t work, I’ll ask my older sister.”

Sister, it means Marian.

I have a crush on Chris, so I’ll help him.

But Chris shook his head.

‘I can’t ask for help for such a trivial matter.’

“No, don’t do that. I’ll handle this.”

“chris?”

“By the way, is there a Count Tyramine among the collateral blood relatives who will be attending the Seongheuksik this time?”

Count Tyramine.

It was one of three collateral houses that supported the Dark Maga, like the House of Khazar.

“Yes, Count Tyramine’s third son is scheduled to attend this year’s Seongheuksik. He was said to have been the loudest along with the old man. That damned bastard.”

Count Khazar spoke in a mockingly angry tone.

Count Khazar was a blunt man with a secret doting side towards his son.

“Don’t be angry.”

“Aren’t you angry? You’re just a bunch of idiots who play tricks with their hands, and you’re so arrogant and ignorant. You’re like Tiramisu, with no name and no taste.”

As Count Khazar’s reaction suggests, the collateral houses were rivals.

The Count of Kazar is cursed.

The Tyramine Counts were a family that specialized in the black magic called ‘Magic Training’.

‘Well, tiramisu is definitely not tasty. When it comes to cake, it’s always strawberry and whipped cream. When it comes to beef, it’s always sirloin.’

Chris shook his head after thinking about something else for a moment.

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”

“Don’t worry about it? You might not be able to participate in the Seongheuksik.”

“That won’t happen. There’s a way.”

“What are you talking about?”

“If you are going to criticize me for not being qualified, the solution is simple. Just show me that I am qualified.”

“!!”

Chris chuckled.

“I understand that it is the time for the Tyramine Counts to hunt for the raw materials for ‘ebony’. Is that correct?”

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

ebony.

It is one of the spiritual skills that Dark Maga is proud of.

‘Karazov’ was a special method used only by Count Tyramine to hunt the demons and obtain raw materials. It was an annual event of Count Tyramine called ‘Ebony Hunting’.

One unique thing is that this hunt is conducted by the young heirs of the count’s family.

It was like a kind of coming of age ceremony.

“Please contact Count Tyramine. Ask him to allow me to participate as a ‘driver’ in the Ebony Hunt.”

“!!”

“Doesn’t the ‘driver’ who drives the devil not necessarily have to be a member of the Tyramine Count family?”

Count Khazar looked puzzled.

“That’s true. I usually leave it to my subordinates. But why do you want to do that?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I’ll prove my qualifications. It’s a good thing that the one who’s going on the hunt this time is my third son who opposed my attending the Seongheuksik.”

Chris raised the corners of his mouth.

“I’ll show him an example.”

And there was one more reason.

Chris was determined to get the ebony this time.

How? Through a ‘big’ that only Chris can use.

It will be a terrible hunt for that nameless third son.

* ? ?* ? ?*

The Magic Empire located in the central-northern part of the continent.

Among them, the Southern Magic Kingdom was located to the south.

The 7th ranked demon kingdom in the mine hierarchy, the Demon Kingdom ruled by the ‘Demon King of Cheongryu’.

To the east of that southern magical kingdom stood a great family.

The vast land that stretches out endlessly.

A large mansion. Its splendor rivaled that of any royal palace.

Dark Maga.

A prestigious family famous throughout the Magic Empire, no, the entire continent.

Deep in that place, there was a secret place where others could not step.

Lion’s Nest.

It was the residence of the Nogaju.

Is it a feeling?

Although it was an ordinary-looking annex, it seemed to convey a grand aura just by looking at it from the outside.

“Your Majesty.”

A woman stepped into it.

It was Marian, the commander of the Black Knights, who had met Chris a while ago.

“Can I come in?”

“Okay, come in.”

A surprisingly soft voice was heard.

Marian took a moment to catch her breath.

She was the most favored blood relative of the head of the household. However, she couldn’t help but feel nervous whenever she met the head of the household.

Marian, calming herself down, opened the door.

“I meet you, my lord.”

Marian bowed her head.

Inside, an old man with gray hair was sitting.

Wrinkles that are crisp and squishy.

Skin with dark spots.

Although he was a frail old man who could easily be put in a coffin, Marian could not dare look down on him.

Demon Lord Nordian.

A mine that has reached the level of 8 stars.

Because that was the old man’s identity.

Marian couldn’t even imagine what kind of power was contained in that skinny body.

“Yeah, did you see it?”

The Norseman said with a gentle smile.

“Yes, my lord. I came to see Christian as you commanded.”

“What did you think? Did it seem okay?”

“no.”

Marian shook her head.

Nogaju looked disappointed, but Marian continued speaking.

“It wasn’t just okay; it was beyond my imagination.”

“!!”

“Genius. No, more than that.”

Nogaju looked slightly surprised.

It was the first time Marian had ever said something like that to someone.

“Is that true? How does he compare to the other young guys?”

“There is no comparison.”

Marian said bluntly.

All of the children in my family are outstanding people.

But the talent she saw in Christian far surpassed even theirs.

‘The problem is that it bloomed too late.’

Marian made a regretful face.

The gap was too wide.

but.

– I don’t think I’ll lose to them.

The story that Christian told.

Marian smiled faintly.

That story didn’t sound like a tall tale.

If it was Christian, whom I saw that day, it seemed entirely possible.

“Hmm.”

Noh Ga-ju tilted his head, resting his chin on the back of his hand.

“I can’t believe it. The Christian I saw before was just a smart-aleck kid who thought he was a genius.”

Although he branched off as an independent branch, Christian was a blood relative of the Norse.

To be exact, it was a grandfather-grandson relationship, since Count Khazar was the youngest son of the Duke of Nordion.

Of course, there was a familiar face.

‘He was a worthless guy. He had no natural talent, but he was arrogant and thought he was great.’

Noh Ga-ju thought coldly.

The gentle impression is just superficial.

He had a colder temper than anyone else.

Even if they are blood relatives, if you think they are worthless, you won’t look back.

“I thought so too. But it wasn’t.”

“No?”

“Yes, it was definitely different from before.”

The Norse made a sad face.

He trusts Marian’s eyes.

If Marian is talking like that, then something has changed with that little rascal.

“Then do you think that child can fulfill my wish?”

“…….”

Marian couldn’t answer that question.

Noh Ga-ju’s long-cherished wish.

The reason why he continues to live while refusing death through the magic of going against the heavens.

“…I don’t know about that.”

Marian answered without confidence.

Because Noh Ga-ju’s long-cherished wish cannot be achieved simply by possessing outstanding talent.

but.

“I think it might be the closest thing to the master’s will.”

At those words, Nogaju closed his mouth for a moment.

Then he burst into laughter.

It was a low, cool laugh.

A thrilling sense of oppression flowed out. The air around them seemed to scream in fear.

“I see. Since you say that, I’ll have to keep an eye on it. But it looks like you won’t be able to attend this year’s Seongheuksik.”

“First of all, that is the public opinion within the family.”

“Hmm.”

Noh Ga-ju crossed his arms.

“Would you like to intervene?”

“No, that’s against the rules. I can’t just get involved in something like that.”

Nogaju handed over all authority to his son, the Marquis of Langham.

For now, I was just watching.

“More than anything, if you can’t even overcome this difficulty, then you’re not the kind of child I want.”

Marian nodded.

If Nogaju coughs even once, Christian will not only participate in the Holy Black Ceremony, but will also be treated just like the other princes.

But that didn’t mean anything.

“What I want is not a greenhouse flower that grows up being supported by everyone, but a natural-born beast that can reign over everyone with its own power.”

Simple talent alone is not enough.

No matter what difficulties there are, if you can make all of the Dark Maga kneel alone, you will be able to achieve Nogaju’s long-cherished wish.

“But if you don’t participate in the Holy Black Ceremony, you won’t even get the chance. In order to properly learn the dark magic of the main family, you need to receive a blessing from the Holy Black Ceremony.”

Did Chris’ cookie tribute work?

It was a story that was meant to be a subtle help.

In fact, the strength of the dark magic greatly affects the power of the dark magic depending on how strong the ‘blessing’ is received from the Holy Black Ceremony.

If you do not participate in the Holy Black Ceremony and do not receive any blessings, you will not be able to properly learn dark magic, no matter how talented you are.

Marian wanted to give Chris at least a chance.

“Hmm. I guess that kid really caught your fancy.”

“…sorry.”

The Norseman said in a playful tone.

“Christian, we’ll have to keep an eye on how that kid acts in this situation. If what you said is true, he won’t just give in to such a difficult situation.”

Instead of helping, he meant to ‘evaluate’ how Christian faced this predicament.

Marian couldn’t open her mouth anymore.

‘That’s just the way he is.’

The more the person you are giving to likes you, the better.

The more promising the future is.

It was a style that treated people even more harshly.

I hope that like a lion dropping its cub off a cliff, it will overcome adversity and emerge stronger.

If you overcome all the difficulties, you will be able to receive the favor of Noh Ga-ju, but if you fall behind in the middle, there is no looking back.

“Pizza.”

A person suddenly appeared at Nogaju’s call.

It was an appearance that seemed to emerge from the shadows without any signal.

A handsome man with a neat appearance took the lead.

“Did you call, my lord?”

“Click click, okay.”

“It’s been a while, Marian.”

Marian made a embarrassed face.

As the man smiled, his beast-like fangs flashed.

He was a high-ranking vampire of the True Blood Tribe and had a bloody sword tattooed on his temple.

It was a symbol that appeared when you mastered the secret art of ‘Blood Sword Maga’, the Blood Sorcerer’s Art, to a high level.
