I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 47

Chapter 47

Episode 47

“What is the purity of the dark magic that Christian absorbed?”

“Considering that there is a problem with the core, I don’t think it is at a high level.”

then.

Marquis Langham nodded and made his decision.

“Then, are you in a state where you can move?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m just exhausted. There’s nothing particularly wrong with my body.”

“Then, bring Christian to the Dark Hall tomorrow.”

“dismissal?”

Marquis Langham turned his gaze back to the papers and said.

“I will decide Christian’s punishment in front of the gods.”

In front of the departed.

It meant that he would be severely punished.

* ? ?* ? ?*

Dark Hall.

It was a hall used for big events at the main house.

Contrary to its name, the darkness was incredibly bright.

Not long after Christian took his seat, a figure appeared.

He was the Marquis of Langham.

That wasn’t all.

The vassals who supported the main family followed. There was even Ashed, who was said to be the next successor.

The characters are too grandiose to have gathered just because of Chris.

‘You’ve already made up your mind.’

Chris laughed inwardly.

It was obvious why these great people had gathered together.

I want to punish Chris properly in front of everyone.

I could tell that there was absolutely no chance of a good verdict.

but.

‘That’s great. It’s moving just the way I want it to.’

Chris smiled to himself.

Do they know?

This was exactly the kind of place Chris had been hoping for.

At that moment, Marquis Langham opened his mouth.

“Christian, are you aware of the mistakes you made at the Black Death?”

“Yes, I know.”

When Christian obediently agreed, Marquis Langham looked surprised.

but.

“I should have taken better care of my brothers who were lacking and unworthy of the name of Dark Maga, but I failed to do so. I am truly sorry.”

“I…!”

The attendants were furious at the bold story and started making a fuss, but Christian didn’t budge.

“Surely you wouldn’t say it was wrong to take down your competitors, right? Like those detestable Union bastards.”

Provocative remarks, gazes.

The Marquis of Langham looked at Christian intently.

Despite hearing the outrageous story, surprisingly, he showed no sign of anger.

Is it because the difference between the two is too great to be swayed by such remarks?

The look in his eyes as he looked at Christian was simply indifferent.

As expected from the second-in-command of the Dark Maga, you could tell at a glance that he was not an easy person.

“Of course I’m not blaming you for that. It was their fault for losing the competition. Your fault was something else.”

“What is it?”

“The point is that he took away the opportunities of his brothers and did not achieve the results they deserved.”

“!!”

Marquis Langham continued speaking coldly.

“Sacred darkness is a precious resource of the Dark Maga. However, you have been greedy and tried to monopolize the sacred darkness. However, have you achieved the results you deserve?”

“…….”

“Answer me. If you have not achieved enough, and have wasted the precious resources of the family, the Black Castle, through greed, you will pay the appropriate price.”

Chris laughed to himself.

“When you say sufficient achievement, what exactly do you mean?”

“At least 70% purity.”

The words spoken by Marquis Langham caused an uproar in the hall.

Usually, the amount of Holy Darkness that a normal Dark Maga’s bloodline obtains during the Holy Darkness Ceremony is less than 30%.

Since it was divided through competition, there was a limit to the amount that could be absorbed, and it was usually burdensome for an ordinary vessel to absorb even 30%.

In the case of direct descendants, it is about 50%.

Among the direct descendants, if you are outstanding, 60%.

If you are called a genius, there are cases where you absorb 70% of it.

In the case of the scholars of the time, there were many outstanding ones, so many absorbed about 60% of them.

However, only one person absorbed 70% of the scholars of his time.

Ashed.

He alone absorbed 70% of it.

‘The Marquis of Langham is determined to get rid of that bastard Christian.’

‘That bastard’s 70% chance is absolutely impossible.’

The attendants glanced at Christian’s appearance.

The appearance of a wreck who barely managed to come back alive.

In addition, when I took a quick look at the core, it was extremely cloudy, as if something had gone wrong.

I can’t tell the exact condition because I only vaguely saw it from a distance, but it couldn’t have absorbed 70% of it.

“What punishment will I receive if I fail to absorb 70%?”

“I will not teach you any dark magic.”

Dark magic was not just simple magic. It was magic that helped one master dark magic.

If there was no dark magic, even if there was dark magic, there was a limit to easily handling the powers of various fields as one’s own attributes.

“In addition to that, I will permanently ban you from entering the main house, and I will also ban you from succeeding to the House of Qajar. You have wasted the main house’s important resources due to your greed, so this is the price you must pay.”

It was tantamount to a social death sentence within the Dark Maga.

But, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Chris asked:

“What if I have achieved enough?”

“what?”

“If I have obtained enough dark magic to be of great help to my family, more than 70%, shouldn’t I be compensated accordingly?”

The people who went looked at each other in bewilderment.

What kind of nonsense are you talking about when you barely managed to escape with your life and come back looking like a mess?

But Chris continued to speak boldly, not caring what other people thought of him.

“If I have acquired a sufficient level of sageness that everyone here recognizes, Your Majesty the Marquis may recommend me to take the ‘Test of Confucius’.”

“!!”

The intestines were rumbling.

Confucius means a candidate for succession.

Therefore, a collateral line without the right of succession cannot become a prince.

However, exceptions were made for cases where talent was exceptionally outstanding.

It was made possible to take the exam to become a Confucius by receiving a recommendation from an adult of the main lineage.

It’s not common.

No, it’s almost never happened in history.

But he was asking me to do something special for him.

“Do you know what the words you just said mean?”

Marquis Langham asked with a hollow laugh.

A voice that still doesn’t contain much emotion.

But did you think you had to warn Chris, who was as cocky as Thunderbolt?

Although not as much as Noh Ga-ju, an overwhelming sense of pressure weighed down on Chris.

As expected, he is the second in command of the Dark Maga.

But Chris was able to withstand the pressure of Noh Ga-ju.

He took a deep breath, relieved his pressure, and spoke uprightly.

“I know very well. I just made the request according to the family law that even a collateral line can become a prince if they show outstanding ability.”

“Are you saying that you are excellent at that method?”

“Of course.”

Chris raised the corners of his mouth.

Although he smiled to appear confident and proud, his original unlucky expression made his smile seem arrogant.

“If you have absorbed a significantly higher percentage of the Holy Darkness than Prince Ashed, who is considered the next successor, wouldn’t that be enough to qualify?”

“!!”

“Isn’t it strange that I am better than other Confuciuses, yet I cannot become a Confucius?”

Those who heard that crazy statement gasped in shock.

Aren’t you saying that too much in front of people?

But Chris shook his head.

Humility was not his personality to begin with.

Above all else.

‘It’s much better to be confident than to be clumsy, especially among the minders.’

Arrogance backed by ability is no longer arrogance.

Those looks that seem to be directed at that crazy bastard will eventually turn to shock and awe.

Meanwhile, Marquis Langham frowned.

‘what?’

The Marquis of Langham felt a strange sense of disconnect rather than anger at Christian’s arrogant remark.

I knew Christian was a crazy bastard.

But it was too much.

Above all, it was a face that exuded unwavering confidence.

‘Have you really absorbed more darkness than Ashed?’

A confidence that can only be had if you don’t.

I looked up and examined Christian’s core, trying to gauge exactly how much darkness he had absorbed.

But even with the eyes of Marquis Langham, it was difficult to gauge the state of Christian’s messy and turbid core.

Chris thought to himself with a sense of leisure.

‘No matter how much you look, you can see it.’

The weapon used by Christian is a secret weapon used by the shadows of the famous swordsmanship family.

There, the warrior Evan, who was called the greatest genius in the swordsmanship school, further improved his skills.

In fact, it is one of the best stealth techniques in the Union, so no one can break through the camouflage simply by observing from a distance.

But then an unexpected voice rang out.

“I agree with Christian’s opinion.”

“!!”

It was Ashed!

He spoke to the people with a friendly smile.

“What difference does it make whether one is a collateral or direct descendant when ascending to the throne of a prince? It is the natural order of the devil that the strong reign above.”

“Confucius.”

The servants hesitantly looked at Ashed.

Although he had a kind face, everyone in the room knew that Ashed was not a kind person at all.

As talented as he is, he has a cruel and ruthless personality.

Everyone intuitively felt that the smile he was making now was not a smile of goodwill, but rather the smile of a predator looking at its prey.

indeed.

“Instead, there is a condition. I will personally check Christian’s dark magic. Through the magic clash.”

Ashed revealed his true feelings.

Magic clash.

It was purely a contest of superiority in magic.

It is sometimes performed in real-life situations.

‘Dark magic has an absolute advantage in this type of magic clash due to its compatibility.’

If the amount of magic is the same, the owner of dark magic will definitely overwhelm the opponent.

What if both of them have dark magic?

The person with the highest purity of dark magic has the upper hand.

That was why Ashed wanted to use the Magi Clash as a tool for verification.

“Christian’s core is turbid, making it difficult to know the exact purity of his dark magic, so I think this is the most accurate method for now.”

It was half right and half wrong.

There were many other ways to check the purity of dark magic.

The reason why the method of clashing magic was brought up was because Ashed wanted to use this opportunity to trample on Christian.

To be exact, the intention was to destroy Christian’s core.

Those who lost in a magic clash often suffered major wounds to their core.

We all noticed that, but whose opinion would we disagree with?

The Marquis of Langham did not object either.

Anyway, Marquis Langham was also thinking of punishing Christian.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Ashed, as a prince, to show his authority by beating up the bald rascal.

“Wielding magic itself is not a problem, right? I will only use as much magic as you can handle. I will limit it to the level of 2-star lower.”
