I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 49

Chapter 49

Episode 49

“Yes, he suffered a core injury and was put into a closed-loop treatment. The damage was so severe that he had to be closed for treatment without moving for at least a year.”

1 year.

Usually, as the level of the castle increases, the core’s resilience becomes stronger.

Ashed is a 4-star level. He can quickly recover from any damage to his core.

Moreover, since he will be receiving full support from the Dark Maga for treatment, the recovery period will be much shorter than that of other normal mines, but the fact that it took a year means that Chris’s core injury was very serious.

“How? No matter how pure the dark magic is, isn’t Master Christian only a 2-star? And how can he inflict such a fatal wound on Prince Ashid, who is a 4-star?”

“I also heard from a colleague who visited Count Kazar’s house that Master Christian’s magical powers are extremely outstanding. He even defeated Vice-Captain Melin in a duel with a broken holy sword.”

“Vice-Chief Merlin? Really?”

“Yeah, that’s not all. They say that since they came to their senses a while ago, they’ve been acting all amazing.”

In fact, this wasn’t the first time rumors about Christian had circulated in the family home.

There were many people who witnessed what the Counts of Kazar and Tyramine had done. So, little by little, rumors spread to the main house.

But the people of the main house didn’t even want to hear such rumors.

Because I ignored Christian.

It was their fault.

“…Have you really changed?”

“well.”

The mines trailed off.

One thing was certain.

Now Christian is not someone they can slander so carelessly.

* ? ?* ? ?*

Christian lay in bed lazing around, listening to the rumors.

I thought with a snicker.

‘It took Ashed a year to recover. Maybe longer?’

At the last minute, recovery became more difficult.

The resonance phenomenon was caused to shake the core, and the resonance phenomenon was intentionally adjusted to transmit a stronger shock wave to the core’s core area.

If you actually try to treat it, there will be many difficulties.

‘It will take at least a year and a half, maybe two years.’

That was enough.

Because in just one year, Chris won’t be the same Chris he used to be.

Whether it’s skill or position in the Dark Maga.

It will be more than enough to stand up to Ashed.

[Oh ho ho… Master. You are truly amazing. How wonderful, wonderful, and charming you are. The girl’s heart is pounding.]

The banshee maid Marie served them, her ghostly tail wagging.

As always, some ridiculous nonsense is included.

[Girl… This time, while waiting for you, I truly realized how much I felt towards you. How desperately I waited… Each day felt like an eternity.]

Christian stared blankly at Marie for a moment.

When she spoke like that with the face of an innocent ghost, I felt like I was possessed by a virgin ghost for some reason.

“thank you.”

[…yes?]

“Thank you for waiting. Really.”

Chris spoke sincerely.

Was Chris’s thanks unexpected? Marie’s face was blank for a moment.

‘I’m originally weak at this kind of thing.’

past.

So, previous life.

Could it be because of the bad environment? He lived a life far from good relationships.

Even in childhood.

Even after escaping from the hellish family life and wandering the streets.

Even during the time of destruction that I faced after becoming an adult.

There were many enemies, and few people with whom I had deep relationships.

In the end, the group of warriors have a lasting bond.

Especially before he was kicked out of his family as a child, everyone wished for his death.

So, Marie was grateful, as she was not used to someone being this concerned about her.

[Oh… You finally understand my heart… But… When you look at me so… passionately… My heart starts pounding so hard. I’m so happy… I think my heart is going to burst.]

“…That’s not it. And you don’t have a heart.”

[Don’t worry… I am already… ready to be with you, Master. I will be with you… forever.]

“…Okay.”

Chris glanced at Marie and told her to bring him some juice, and Marie laughed and disappeared, saying she would make some virgin blood juice.

‘By the way, past, La.’

Chris was lost in thought for a moment.

One person.

There was someone who worried about him like Marie.

Little brother.

‘I miss you. I hope you’re doing well.’

A fleeting thought.

I’m sure you’re doing well.

Because now she doesn’t have ‘Chris’. It must be much better than her previous life.

‘It’s not far from here.’

Where my younger brother is.

So, in his previous life, his family was not far from the Southern Magical Country of the Magical Empire.

Not only was it far away, it was one of the ‘Gold Cross’ federations formed to fight against the Southern Magic Nation.

If you follow the river that flows next to the Dark Maga Baron Duke House, you can reach the family home of your former life.

‘Let’s not think about useless things. I can’t pretend to know anyway. Doing my job takes priority.’

The Gold Cross Union, where my brother was, was one of the first regions to fall to the invasion of the Magic Empire.

It was better for my brother and everyone else to prevent future catastrophe rather than indulge in pointless sentimentality.

‘You must become a Confucius first.’

Finally, the call I was waiting for arrived.

“Master Christian. His Excellency the Marquis of Langham has summoned you.”

It was when I received a recommendation for the Confucius exam from the Marquis of Langham.

* ? ?* ? ?*

“Your Majesty the Marquis.”

Christian went to the office at the top of the main building.

If a collateral line wants to become a prince, they must take an exam.

It wasn’t an easy process.

First, I had to find a recommender among the adults in my family. At least an elder or higher.

Would a person from the main family, who was full of pride, easily recommend a collateral child? It was out of the question.

But that problem has already been solved.

Because in exchange for a bet with Ashed, Marquis Langham agreed to be my recommender.

‘I guess you don’t feel very good.’

Chris laughed to himself.

The Marquis of Langham was trying to kick Chris out, but he ended up having to recommend him instead, so he was not happy about it.

But Marquis Langham did not reveal his true feelings in any particular way.

“A promise is a promise. As we talked about back then, I will be your recommender. You will take the Confucius exam under my recommendation.”

He still had an indifferent expression on his face and spoke in a businesslike tone.

What are your true feelings?

‘No matter what you think of me, there’s no need to be unnecessarily scared.’

As long as he was within the same Dark Maga’s fence, the head of the household, Marquis Langham, could not openly harm him.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can rest easy.

The Marquis of Langham is the head of the household.

Even without using direct force, there are plenty of dirty tricks you can use to get him into trouble.

For example, like the Confucius exam that we will be taking this time.

“Since the examination for the collateral lineage’s son is almost unprecedented, there is no set format for the examination. Therefore, I, as the head of the household, will decide on the examination at my discretion.”

Chris nodded.

It was as expected.

‘It will definitely be an extremely difficult test to achieve.’

It’s not like there were no collateral prince exams in the history of the Dark Maga.

Although there were rare instances, no collateral lineage succeeded in becoming an actual prince.

Because they deliberately gave us an extremely evil test.

It wasn’t just the dropouts that were the problem, many people also died during the exam.

‘It’ll probably be the same this time. This test could be the opportunity to push me into a life-or-death crisis.’

As we were waiting to see how evil the test would be, the Marquis of Langham said something unexpected.

“The test will be divided into two parts. The first is a test to check your qualifications. The second is a test to establish the merits necessary to become a Confucius.”

“What do you mean by testing one’s qualifications?”

The Marquis of Langham looked up from his papers and into Christian’s eyes.

For a moment, his eyes glowed coldly behind his iron glasses.

“I will reach 3 stars within 3 months.”

Chris made a surprised face.

‘barely?’

Of course, it wasn’t easy.

No, on the contrary, it was a condition close to impossible.

It is generally considered that the time it takes to go from 2 stars to 3 stars is 3 years at the fastest.

In particular, each realm originally required a significantly higher level of difficulty when jumping from the upper level to the next realm than when going up the lower level.

So, reaching 3 stars in 3 months is ridiculous.

“…Is that all you need?”

The Marquis of Langham frowned.

“Just that, is what you said?”

“No, it’s not as difficult as I thought.”

It’s not difficult.

I was sincere.

To Chris, that is.

“Haven’t you noticed, Your Majesty? That I’m no ordinary genius.”

“…….”

The Marquis of Langham was silent for a moment and then said:

“Is it because you’re from a collateral line? You really don’t know anything.”

“…yes?”

“Do you know why no one of your direct bloodline absorbs more than 70% of the Holy Black during the Holy Black Ceremony?”

It was the first time I heard this story.

“It’s a story that most people don’t know. It’s hard for regular collateral blood relatives to absorb even 30-40% of the Holy Darkness. However, direct blood relatives are different. They receive thorough support from childhood and expand their core’s vessel, so they can easily absorb more than 50%. There are rare cases where they can absorb more than 70% of the Holy Darkness.”

The Marquis of Langham continued.

“Eshid could have absorbed more than 70% of the darkness if he wanted to. However, he deliberately did not do so and stopped at absorbing 70% of the darkness. Because too much darkness actually becomes poisonous.”

An unexpected story.

“If the purity of dark magic is too high, it becomes exponentially more difficult to raise the level of completion. The standard is 70%.”

“…….”

“I also absorbed 70% of the darkness for that reason.”

The Marquis of Langham said coldly.

“But you have absorbed over 90% of the darkness. You don’t even know your place.”

therefore.

Even if a direct bloodline becomes a vessel, it is said that they do not intentionally absorb more than 70% of the darkness.

Because it will become incredibly difficult to raise your level in the future.

They say that even if it’s just a little over 70%, the amount of Holy Darkness that Chris has absorbed is over 90%.

No, others vaguely know it to be more than 90%, but in reality it’s 100%.

A situation where you can’t even imagine how difficult and overwhelming it will be.

but.

“Okay, I’ll try.”

Chris answered with a snicker.

Marquis Langham wiggled his eyebrows at that confident smile.

“I guess you didn’t understand what I was saying. From now on, you….”

“No, I understand. What I’m saying is that you’ll face a huge wall in the future when it comes to raising your level.”

Chris couldn’t stop laughing.

“That’s why I’m laughing. In fact, I’ve never faced a wall before. To be honest, I’m looking forward to it.”

“!!”

Whatever Chris did, it was easy.

So honestly, learning and getting used to it wasn’t fun. It was trivial.
