Mage Veigar

Chapter 100 Suspicious tactics
Even the beloved wine glass was crushed.

Bruno Valens, who has always been elegant, calm and self-proclaimed gentleman, has lost his composure.

More than a month had passed since Nightingale had last delivered his secret letter to the Kingdom Army's Gasili City, and even the season had changed from early winter to late winter, but his request to start a war before the arrival of spring had fallen on deaf ears, with no response at all.

These days, he has started to lose his composure.

A week ago, he was surprised and horrified to hear that the army had spotted a United Kingdom wizard who was trying to sneak into Kareni at the city gate.

The surprise was because the mage had 90% of the answer he wanted.

The panic was because the identity of this wizard was discovered by the Imperial Army. Although there were reports that the wizard from the United Kingdom had escaped pursuit, if he was found again by the army, his identity as a spy would likely be exposed.

What are the consequences of exposing your identity?
Although the core troops of the army had been sent to the front, and only some cannon fodder troops that had not yet completed training were left in the city, he did not think that the Law Enforcement Administration's 10,000 combat forces alone would be a match for the Legion of Inquisition in the Kareni Inquisition System.

Well known.

The Judgment Legion is the only fighting force of the Kareni Judgment System. Although the total number of people is less than 700, each of them is a high-level magician. They are responsible for judging and dealing with traitors and surrenderers in war, as well as executing decapitation tactics.

Bruno didn't think he could withstand the judgment of the Inquisition.

Therefore, he needed to find the magician before the army found him. This was also the reason why he ordered a full-scale mobilization this week. He absolutely could not reveal his identity now.

As long as we find this magician...

Then he can not only get the answer he wants, but also avoid exposing his identity.

Anxiously waited for a week.

Just when he began to doubt himself, luck favored him.

Just now, his men reported to him that they had found this crucial magician.

"where is he?"

Bruno had completely lost his gentlemanly elegance, which was the aftereffect of his long-term tense nerves suddenly relaxing.

Oli certainly understood what the magician in the reception room meant to the director, and he quickly replied, "In order to avoid any more trouble, I have taken him to the reception room next door. You can meet him anytime."

"Take me to see him." Bruno seemed a little anxious.

Oli quickly opened the door and motioned for Bruno to follow him.

Bruno took two steps at a time and just as he reached the door, he stopped Oli who was about to go to the reception room: "Captain Oli, there is no rush to meet this wizard. Let's have a drink together and tell him the whole story of how you found him."

He turned around and sat back in the chair that came with his desk.

The excitement in his eyes had faded and he regained his composure.

Bruno took out two wine glasses from the drawer again, poured a glass of wine for Oli himself, then gently pushed it a few centimeters in his direction and made an elegant gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, Director."

Oli swallowed, then half-bent over, took the glass and drank it all. Ignoring Bruno's regretful and helpless look, he began to recount his encounter with Vega.

A few minutes later.

Bruno's eyes flickered with an inexplicable look. "Special symbols can definitely not be faked. In addition, the descriptions of the staff and cloak are not much different from the information we got from the army. It seems that this person's identity can be confirmed."

There was a pause.

Bruno then stood up and said, "But just in case, we need to confirm it carefully."

"Do you mean to meet the wizard now?" Ori asked carefully.

Bruno swirled the red wine and turned his gaze back to the map of Kareni City: "Captain Oli, please calm down. I'm sure the wizard is tired. It seems a bit rude to disturb him now. I think we should wait until the evening."

"But isn't it too rude to leave Mr. Mage alone like this?"

"There are even more rude things."

Bruno smiled and said, "Give orders to lock the door of the reception room. Even if there is any movement inside, no one is allowed to open the door for Mr. Mage, and no one is allowed to meet with Mr. Mage without permission."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Although he was confused, Oli still walked out the door and did as Bruno asked.

Bruno Valencia is not in a hurry, but he wants to give Vega a try.

If he had something to hide, then leaving him in the reception room for such a long time and locking the door from the outside in front of him would make him lose his temper and even start to suspect whether his identity had been exposed.

This effect is especially evident in a quiet secret room.

During the evening meeting, he suddenly relaxed because he was too tense.

If the other party really has something to hide, he will inevitably reveal some flaws.

This was the experience Bruno had just gained from accidentally losing his beloved goblet because his tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

----

time flies.

10 minute later.

The door was locked from the outside with a key, and Vega began to have a bad feeling.

1 hours later.

Vega has begun pacing around the room.

2 hours later.

Vega began to turn the doorknob hard, but unfortunately he couldn't open the door without the key.

3 hours later.

After pacing back and forth for a while, Vega began to call out using a male voice disguised by his cloak, but no one responded.

Four hours passed.

The setting sun was already hanging on the mountainside. Due to excessive mental tension and not having water or food for a day, Vega had begun to fall into a state of self-doubt.

Why did you just bring him back and leave him there?

He also locked the door and ignored his calls.

Has his identity been exposed?

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain the current situation.

Do you want to break out now?
A broken door didn't seem to stop him.

In this extremely quiet environment, especially in the extremely dangerous enemy headquarters.

Vega stood on the edge of the cliff between life and death, his nerves stretched to the limit.

5th hour!
When the afterglow of the setting sun disappears in the sky, darkness dominates the earth again.

Vega's face turned pale. He gathered his fighting spirit into his fist and aimed his gaze at the door of the reception room.

His overly tense nerves and the enclosed environment where one could hear a pin drop had brought his thinking into a dead end.

Take a step forward.

Vega tried to break through the thin door and rush out. He didn't want to sit there and wait for death.

stab-

The punch was very fast and if nothing went wrong it would hit the door in 0.5 seconds.

There was no explosion as expected.

In the last 0.1 seconds, Vega stopped his fist one centimeter away from the door.

No, absolutely not!
If his identity had really been exposed, he could have been captured by his unrivaled force in the enemy's base camp. There would have been no need to stop him with a broken door that even an ordinary person could smash.

Vega finally regained his composure.

He realized that this might just be a trick of the other party to confuse the enemy. What he needed to do now was not to be suspicious, but to keep his spirits up and be fully prepared for the upcoming unknown challenges.

Sit back on the couch.

To keep myself calm and maintain the state.

Veigar took out the Shadow Style rune page he carried with him and began to study it.
