    Chapter 66

    Episode 66

    Duke Huam’s realm is the lower level of the 8th star.

    On the other hand, the Norse reached the end of the 8th level.

    There need to be three Dukes of Huam to stand against the Nordians.

    Although he was relatively weak for a family of the most powerful magicians, Duke Huam’s name became known to the entire world.

    It was because of what Duke Huam would do in the future.

    “Are you Christian?”

    “Your Majesty the Duke!”

    “Yes, it seems to be pretty good, just like the rumors said. No, honestly, I’m impressed. It’s great now, but I’m looking forward to the future even more.”

    Duke Huam seemed to have recognized Chris at a glance.

    “Of course, when I think of the wrongs I did to our princess before, I feel like tearing her limbs in half.”

    “…….”

    What on earth did that ‘Christian’ guy do to Marisa?

    Fortunately, there was no particular sense of hostility from Duke Huam.

    Duke Huam smiled faintly.

    “I will forgive the wrong I did to Marissa. Thank you. If it weren’t for you, my youngest child would have been in big trouble. In the worst case scenario, I would have had to do something terrible to that lovely child with my own hands.”

    Chris understood what was being said.

    Marisa is the daughter of the head of the household.

    But in his previous life, he was punished by having both hands cut off, both eyes, and his tongue gouged out.

    Although she had committed a great sin, she received an excessively cruel punishment for the daughter of a patriarch.

    It was because Duke Huam’s power was weak.

    ‘The Duke of Huam is the head of the family, but he is not the strongest of the Maga clan.’

    There was a separate strongest person among the poisonous Maga.

    Duke Huam’s brother.

    Another real power was dividing the power of the poisonous Maga.

    It was the beginning of the tragedy that would later occur in Geukdok Maga, the ‘Jinnok Incident’.

    ‘… First of all, I’ll think about this later.’

    Chris shook his head.

    The first priority was to deal with the Duke of Huam right in front of us.

    “Why did you call me?”

    “I’m curious about your son-in-law’s face?”

    “…Our engagement has already been broken off.”

    Duke Huam simply smiled in an inscrutable manner.

    “Actually, I called you because I have something to ask you.”

    “Please speak.”

    “What is your relationship with the Yiseon Myungga?”

    “!!”

    “You said you got the medicine from the auction house, but that’s not true. We, the poisonous Maga, always keep an eye on the dark auction house. We need to check if important medicines appear. But recently, there hasn’t been any medicine from the famous Yiseon family up for sale. How did you learn about their secret technique?”

    “…….”

    “Explain it to me.”

    Dangerous question.

    But everything had already been prepared.

    “I have no connection with the Yi Sun Myungga. I have never even met them.”

    “No? You made a potion that contained the secrets of a famous doctor?”

    “That’s just because I’m a genius.”

    “…what?”

    “I had the opportunity to see the medicine from the famous doctor’s shop a few times before. So I tried to make a similar copy. Well, it wasn’t that difficult.”

    Duke Huam had a speechless look on his face.

    “Is that possible?”

    “Is that possible? I think I know the mixing ratio of the blue flower that is Marisa’s vision poison. Shall I explain it to you? Mix the Kanasia flower with the Hallu spider’s essence, and some of the powder of the Papin magic stone….”

    “…Enough, that’s enough.”

    Duke Huam shook his head.

    “I can’t believe it.”

    “Yes, I also think I am a genius beyond imagination.”

    “…….”

    Chris said confidently.

    “So, is our business over?”

    Why are you even asking something like this? Chris made a puzzled face.

    “No, let’s get to the point.”

    Duke Huam looked straight into Chris’ eyes.

    “Hey, how about coming to Geukdok Maga?”

    “!!”

    “With your talent, you will be able to master the poison magic of the Extreme Poison Maga. If you come to the Extreme Poison Maga, I will teach you the true meaning of the main family.”

    Chris looked slightly surprised.

    The true meaning of the family.

    It is passed down only to direct descendants.

    “What do you mean?”

    “You mean to become my son-in-law? Weren’t you and Marisa originally engaged?”

    It seemed that Duke Huam was not just talking in empty words.

    “…May I ask why you are making this suggestion to me?”

    Duke Huam answered as if it was a given.

    “It’s because of your talent.”

    “…….”

    “After hearing the story from Marisa, I thought. If it is true that you created the elixir of the famous medicine family, then you must be caught. Medicine and poison are fields of study that are closely related, so your talent will blossom brilliantly in the field of poison.”

    “I am of the Dark Maga bloodline.”

    “But they are of a persecuted bloodline.”

    “…….”

    “And now that you’ve become a prince, you’ll be in even more trouble. Everyone in the Dark Maga will become your enemy. So I think my proposal won’t be bad from your perspective either.”

    Chris was silent.

    An unexpected story.

    However, it was not uncommon for the bloodline of a noble magic family to move to another family.

    Even the current butler, vampire Simon, isn’t he the best pureblood of the Blood Sword Maga? He even came from the same ship as the Blood Demon King.

    however.

    Chris chuckled.

    “You’re taking this joke too far.”

    “…….”

    “Don’t you know I won’t follow you anyway?”

    Talent in medicine and poison?

    He was excellent at everything, and not just poison.

    Persecution from the family above all else?

    “They are all going to kneel before me anyway.”

    Duke Huam remained silent.

    Chris looked straight at him and said.

    “Please tell me what Your Majesty truly wants from me.”

    Duke Huam let out a low laugh.

    Still a soft impression.

    But unlike before, it felt like a heavy weight.

    “Yes, that’s right. I knew you wouldn’t take my word for it. But it wasn’t just an offer. I really do want you.”

    “…….”

    “Tell me what’s really important.”

    Duke Huam sighed deeply and said something unexpected.

    “Can I ask you a favor?”

    “Please?”

    The Duke of Huam, the greatest of all time, is asking for a favor?

    “If something happens to my family, can you take responsibility for my daughter Marisa’s safety?”

    “!!”

    “I’m not asking you to get married. I just need you to save that child’s life.”

    Chris’s face hardened.

    “That’s a bit sudden.”

    Duke Huam said bitterly.

    “I understand that you’re embarrassed. You may not know it from the outside, but things aren’t going well at home. I don’t think that’ll happen, but I’m telling you this just in case.”

    embrace.

    What’s happening in Geukdok Maga right now.

    And what happens next?

    ‘It’s difficult.’

    Chris furrowed his brow.

    When he did not answer, the Duke of Huam said.

    “Of course I’m not asking you to do it empty-handed. I’ll pay you something. Take it.”

    It was a modification.

    Chris, who received it, looked slightly surprised.

    “What is this?”

    “A crystal ball containing manuscripts of the medical techniques of a famous doctor. It contains the first and second half.”

    “!!”

    The Secret of the Yiseon Myungga is divided into three parts.

    First half 15 volumes. Middle half 15 volumes. Second half 15 volumes.

    Of these, the first 15 volumes were the ones Chris mastered.

    Additionally, it contains the contents of the 15 volumes in the middle part.

    “How do you have something like this?”

    “Aren’t the Dokdo Maga and the Yiseon Myungga long-time natural enemies? They bribed an internal member to steal the manuscript. Unfortunately, they couldn’t steal the latter part of the content. That’s something only the highest direct line of the Yiseon Myungga can learn.”

    Still, it was a treasure of great value.

    Especially to Chris.

    Volume 15 of the middle part contained the contents of ‘Euiseon Qigong’, a unique healing technique of the Euiseon masters.

    The power that made the people of the Yiseon family into saints born with divine powers.

    ‘Especially when used with the relics we’ve obtained this time, such as the Constellation Insignia, it will have an incredible synergy effect.’

    It was clear that this would be a weapon that would greatly aid his plans in the future.

    but.

    “I’m sorry. I can’t accept that.”

    “!!”

    “The reward is insufficient compared to the difficulty of the task you requested.”

    I was sincere.

    Chris thought to himself.

    Duke Huam probably doesn’t know.

    How difficult a request you just made was.

    In order to save Marisa, they had to prevent a ‘catastrophe’ from happening in the poisonous Maga.

    ‘But it’s impossible for me to prevent what will happen in the poisonous Maga with my abilities.’

    He was a genius, but he wasn’t an omnipotent person.

    The events that will happen in the Magi are irresistible.

    So Chris originally planned to give up on preventing the disaster that would occur in the poisonous Maga and focus only on minimizing the damage as much as possible.

    “…Is that so.”

    Duke Huam muttered bitterly.

    “I’m sorry for talking nonsense. Please forget what I just said.”

    He’s a giant who has reached level 8, but why?

    His shoulders looked small.

    I could feel his sincerity in thinking of Marisa.

    It must be so desperate that he would ask for a favor from Chris, who is insignificant compared to himself.

    Is it because of that sincere fatherly love?

    At that moment, the voice of my father from my past life passed by.

    – Why are you still alive? You’re so tough.

    Chris wiggled his eyebrows.

    Negativity is his sore spot.

    He gave a rather impulsive answer.

    “But if you accept my conditions, I will give it a try.”

    “you?”

    “I can’t promise anything. But I’ll try, and if it doesn’t seem like it’ll work out, I’ll give up.”

    Duke Huam nodded his head repeatedly.

    “Yes, that is enough. What are your requirements?”

    “There are three conditions in total that I wish for.”

    “Tell me anything.”

    “First, please teach me the true meaning of the vision of the most poisonous Maga.”

    “!!”

    Duke Huam looked surprised.

    “Are you talking about the true meaning that has been passed down through the direct line?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    Chris nodded.

    ‘If I’m going to become stronger anyway, I have to learn other attributes’ powers to a high level.’

    It is because of the properties of dark magic.

    Dark magic rules over all attributes of darkness.

    So, as you learn the powers of various attributes, you can create a synergy effect and exert even stronger power.

    Above all, you need to learn the highest level of poison magic to have a ‘small’ chance of preventing what happens in the poisonous Maga.

    “…Okay, I understand. However, it’s difficult to do it through the official route. Maybe if you marry Marisa.”

    “Unofficial routes are also sufficient.”

    Chris responded bluntly to Duke Huam’s subtle remark.

    “Then what are the remaining conditions?”

    “Second, please keep our conversation today a secret from Marissa.”

    “…Let’s do that. But is there a reason?”

    Chris nodded.

    There was.

    There is a reason why it must be done that way.

    “What is the third condition?”

    “First, promise me that you will definitely listen to me.”

    “Okay, I promise. Now that you’ve got that weight on you, I wonder what it is.”

    Chris looked straight at the Duke of Huam.

    “Please don’t blame me if I kill the characters of the poisonous Mark.”

    “…what?”

    “Even if there are people among them who are precious to Your Majesty.”

    Duke Huam’s expression hardened.

    But Chris didn’t mince his words.

    The future that will come to the poisonous Maga.

    It couldn’t be stopped without spilling a lot of blood.
