I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 50

Chapter 50

Episode 50

If Marquis Langham is talking like that, it must not be an easy task.

Indeed, how difficult could it be?

‘Sometimes it’s fun to have difficult things.’

Chris knew better than anyone.

The more difficult it is, the greater the rewards will be.

No, it’s the opposite.

It is difficult to achieve because the fruits are so unimaginably enormous.

It was bearable enough.

And above all.

‘It doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult?’

It was a gut feeling.

Difficulty is the criminal’s standard.

Of course, the criminal would be a genius by any normal standards, but from Chris’ perspective, whether he was a genius or a criminal, they were all the same, so he felt like he could do it this time too.

“…3 months. If you are even one day late, your status as a public servant will be revoked.”

“Yes, I understand. Maybe… I don’t think it will take that long.”

Chris chuckled.

Is that confidence annoying?

The Marquis of Langham frowned and glared at Chris for a moment before speaking.

“Stop talking and go out. I’ll tell you about the second test if you succeed in achieving the three-star achievement within three months.”

A tone that suggests that you will never succeed within the deadline.

Christian gave a brief greeting and left the room.

And immediately I realized one problem.

‘But who can I learn dark magic from?’

Dark Maga’s Vision Magic.

Of course, it is passed down by word of mouth.

No matter how much of a genius Christian is, he needs someone to teach him.

‘The elders of the family will all refuse.’

Originally, the collateral line had a separate teacher who taught dark magic.

However, it is different from the direct line.

You will learn the collateral use that is missing the most important core knot.

‘I can’t learn that kind of trash.’

I had to learn the perfect dark magic for direct use. The problem was that there was no one to teach me.

‘By stealing? No, that’s not possible.’

Of course, it wasn’t impossible to steal and learn the highest level of magic.

In the past, just like how I stole and learned the highest level of martial arts from the swordsmanship school of the warrior Evan, if I watched it over and over again, I could learn it as if I had copied it.

But the group of warriors had been following each other all day, so it was possible to spy on them like that, but in this case, it was impossible.

‘Well, I guess I’ll have to figure out a way. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll first learn the collateral method, and then figure out the direct method in my own way…’

It was a time when I was thinking while crossing my arms.

An unexpected voice was heard.

“You still go around doing stupid things.”

“!!”

When he turned his gaze, an unexpected person was glaring at him with displeasure.

Calm impression.

But she is a woman with eyes that give off a strong inner feeling.

It was Marian!

“I see your aunt.”

Christian bowed his head.

‘Why did you come?’

It was Marian who had never visited him before.

It seemed like there was something going on.

“By any chance… is there something you’re asking for?”

“…….”

Instead of answering, Marian kept her mouth shut and just looked straight at him.

A curious look.

“Aunt?”

“Have you found a master to learn dark magic?”

“…Is it your aunt?”

Chris opened his eyes wide.

It was an unexpected help!

She is a 6-star mine and one of the strongest in her family, so she would be more than qualified to be a teacher.

But Marian shook her head.

“It’s not me.”

“Yes, then? Who?”

Marian shut her mouth again.

For a moment, a complex emotion passed through her eyes.

And then an unexpected name came out.

“It is the Lord.”

“…yes?”

Christian couldn’t help but ask himself blankly.

Marian repeated, as if she had not misheard.

“The Lord has decided to teach you dark magic himself.”

* ? ?* ? ?*

Direct guidance from Nogaju Nordian!

It was something completely unexpected.

“Follow me.”

Marian spoke coldly and turned her back.

But the direction was strange.

Quite the opposite.

“Aren’t you going to the annex where the master is?”

“What kind of rumors did you hear when you went to the annex? It is unofficial for the head of the household to guide you.”

Chris nodded.

Just seeing Noh Ga-ju’s face once made the family in an uproar.

But, the fact that Nogaju himself teaches dark magic? This is not something that would normally be noisy.

“It has been a very long time since the Lord of the House directly guided someone. There has never been one in your generation.”

It was said that even Ashed, who was called a genius, did not receive guidance from Nogaju.

“You are giving me such a privilege. This is unexpected.”

“Special privilege?”

Marian frowned.

“I don’t know if it’s something that can be expressed as special privilege.”

“yes?”

Marian considered her words for a moment.

“You’ll know when you experience it yourself. He’s not a very kind person to teach.”

Squeak.

As I entered the building, located in a remote area on the outskirts of the mansion, there was a staircase leading down to the basement.

As we went down the stairs, Marian said something that was either advice or a warning.

“For your information, none of our brothers followed our father’s teachings properly.”

Brothers.

Chris’ father, Count Kazar, as well as Marian and even the Marquis of Langham, a 7-star realm, failed to properly accept Nogaju’s teachings.

‘How evil can a teaching be?’

But Marian looked at Chris with a strange gaze.

“But I think you might be a little different.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you say it yourself? You’re a genius.”

Marian said something poignant.

“Show yourself worthy of it. This is an opportunity you will never get again.”

Chris understood what Marian was saying.

A chance to learn directly from the head of the household.

It is not simply a matter of meeting the best teacher.

It’s a chance to catch the eye of the owner.

Chris smiled and bowed his head to Marian, who always did everything for him.

“Thank you for your words, Aunt. As expected, there is no one like you. I will definitely try to live up to your expectations.”

“Huh. You speak well.”

“Not just words, next time I will definitely bake you some delicious cookies.”

Marian laughed, but didn’t actually refuse.

and.

As I went down the stairs, an unexpected sight unfolded.

There was a large smokehouse in the basement.

Standing beneath the magical light was a familiar face: Butler Simon.

Chris tilted his head as he saw a stranger sitting on a chair next to him with his eyes narrowed.

‘Little guy?’

Is he about seven years old now?

He was a little boy.

Dark Maga’s signature black hair.

Even the half-closed eyes were bloodshot.

A blank gaze, as if asleep.

Even though he was young, he gave off an ominous coldness rather than a cute impression.

‘Was there a kid like that at home? Wait, maybe?’

Chris tilted his head at the sense of familiarity, then opened his eyes wide when he noticed the little boy’s identity.

Marian confirmed it.

“Greetings. I am the avatar of the lord.”

“!!”

“When you have trouble moving around and have to go out, you borrow the body of an incarnation. The reason the incarnation is young is to reduce unnecessary consumption of magical energy.”

Christian couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘The embodiment of incarnation is a 7-star black magic illusion. Did Nogaju reach the 7-star level of illusion magic?’

When illusions reach the highest level, some parts of the illusions can be realized as reality.

Among them, the embodiment of incarnation was the highest level of black magic, equivalent to 7 stars.

What’s shocking is that Nogaju has not only mastered the Dark Magic of the Dark Maga, but also has reached the level of 7-star illusions.

At that moment, the boy who had his eyes half-closed suddenly opened them.

A blood-red light swirled in his empty eyes.

A giant-like presence descended upon her doll-like small body.

The consciousness of Nogaju has descended upon the incarnation.

Even though I had only just opened my eyes, it felt as if a heavy gravity was weighing down the entire training ground.

Chris bowed his head and offered an example.

“I come to see you, my lord. I have been called.”

The Norseman tried to adjust to the boy’s body by moving his arms and legs for a moment.

Then he turned his gaze and looked at Chris.

[Yes, did you hear from Marian why I called you?]

“Yes, I heard that you are going to give me some teachings. I am grateful for your kindness, Master.”

[La, La. I guess you could say that. I was very surprised when I heard your story. Obtaining over 90% pure dark magic. You did something great. At that time, I think I misjudged your vessel a bit.]

Unexpected compliments.

No, maybe it was natural.

Because it’s the first time this has been done since our ancestors.

‘But even Gaju doesn’t know the exact purity of my dark magic.’

Everyone vaguely understood that it was more than 90%, but they did not realize that it was a perfect 100%.

This was due to the strange nature of Chris’s dark magic.

As the purity of dark magic became 100%, the nature of dark magic changed slightly.

It was indeed dark magic, but its nature was different from before. Chris couldn’t figure out exactly what kind of change this was.

The changed part feels different from the original dark magic, so I can’t consider it to be 100%.

[but.]

The expression on Gaju’s face changed.

Coldly.

The original face of the head of the household had a gentle expression.

Even though his heart was like a poisonous snake, his outward appearance was as soft as water. In particular, the wrinkles on his face gave off a kind feeling.

But when he transformed into the face of a young boy, all the kindness disappeared and he was replaced with an extremely cold feeling.

[I can’t just praise you for what you’ve done. You know why, right?]

“Yes, I know.”

That was the reason Marquis Langham had spoken.

The higher the purity of the dark magic, the more difficult it is to raise the level.

[Honestly, it was a foolish choice. Even though I didn’t even reach 80%, I had to face a much higher wall than others. In the end, I waited a long time, but my achievements were also much slower.]

Nordian reached the 8th star when he was over 70 years old.

It was a very late achievement compared to other demon lords.

[This was also due to luck. If fate had not been on my side, I would have died in vain without achieving my goal. The excessive absorption of the dark power was poisonous.]

“…….”

[So I ordered my bloodlines. Anything over a certain amount of darkness is poison, so don’t absorb more than 70%.]

The unwritten rules passed down among the direct bloodlines were dictated by the Norse.

[But it’s more than 90%? No, considering the purity, it could possibly be even higher than that of the ancestors.]

The Norse let out a hollow laugh.

[Your ancestors said that if it weren’t for His Majesty the Demon Emperor’s grace, you would never have been able to reach the realm. I can’t even imagine how daunting a wall you will face.]

After talking up to that point, the Norseman made an unexpected suggestion.

[So I have a suggestion for you. If you wish, I will lower the purity of your dark magic.]

“…What do you mean?”

[It is literally true. With my power, I will turn some of your dark magic into nothingness and implant magic of a different attribute in you. It is possible since you have not accepted the dark magic for long. I will lower the purity to about 80%.]

It is possible to change the properties of magic.

Is that possible?

It was such an amazing ability that it made me question it.

Norsemen are said to be one of the strongest among the Demon Lords, and they are not lacking in anything like the rumors.

[Of course, it is an extremely difficult and troublesome task. However, I am making this suggestion because I think highly of you. It is clear that you have a great talent that is hard to find in the whole world.]

therefore.

It is a suggestion that the potential sprouts of the family will be blocked by a wall and rot away in vain.

It was a suggestion made with Chris in mind, as he had a very high opinion of him.

[80% purity is high, but with the talent you’ve shown so far, I think you can handle it well.]

80% purity was the golden ratio that the Norse thought would best suit Christian.

Anything more than this is excessive.

[You can become a strong demon lord who will succeed me without being too greedy.]

Marian, who was listening from the side, looked surprised at Nogaju’s high praise.

however.

“I’m sorry. I have to decline.”
