Mage Veigar

Chapter 114 Determining the Candidate

When you walk out of the professional union.

Veigar had less than 300 gold coins left in his pocket.

Looking at the rune page in his hand, Veigar planned to find a place to learn the new magic first.

As long as you learn the trickery style, not to mention your ability to fight against the enemy, at least you can save your life and escape... well, the ability to retreat is unmatched among all the basic magics of various attributes.

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.

As a time traveler, Vega became more and more convinced of this statement.

The time now is noon.

Vega did not hang around outside. After all, the longer he wandered around, the greater the risk of being exposed.

He walked forward, leaving the bustling Administrative Street, and finally came to East Street. He crossed a dark and deserted Downing Lane and finally found an abandoned residential building that had half collapsed.

Vega didn't feel disgusted.

He came to the back of the house and sat down on the ground without caring whether it was clean or not.

Take out the trickster rune page.

Veigar closed his eyes and used his mental power to sense the rune page in his hand.

Everything was just as Vega imagined.

Killing the magician indeed gained a new skill point. A colorful "+1" symbol was displayed above the gray rune page. According to previous experience, as long as one used mental power to touch +1, one could learn this magic.

There was no hesitation.

Veigar used his mental power to contact +1, and this colorful +1 slowly merged into the black and white rune page...

About 4 hours later.

All the runes have been merged into Veigar's brain through mental power, and the runes on the rune page have all disappeared, turning into a useless waste.

In just 4 hours, Veigar had mastered the Trickery Technique to perfection.

"call."

Vega let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

Normally, one should be happy after learning new magic, but at this moment, there was no happiness on Vega's face. Instead, he looked depressed and helpless.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

After learning the trick, Veigar found that it was not as invincible as he had imagined.

The trickery-like lurking effect is indeed powerful. Neither the five senses nor human intuition can detect the position of the caster. However, with the mental strength and magic power of a level 1 magician, this lurking effect can only last for 15 minutes.

Of course, these 15 minutes can also be used at intervals.

Now that he thought about it carefully, Vega finally understood why Nightingale didn't use the trick right from the start when she went to the 7th floor. It turned out that it was because she didn't have enough time to maintain it.

Besides.

The trick also has a fatal flaw.

As long as the opponent's magician level is more than three levels higher than yours, there is a high possibility that he will detect your whereabouts. If it is four levels higher, it will be almost easy for him to detect your whereabouts.

Of course, the trickery effects are enhanced in the dark.

As for the degree of enhancement, it is only increased by two levels. In other words, with the level of a first-level magician like Vega, even in the dark, he can only deceive magicians below the fifth-level magician.

Vega didn't understand until now.

It's not that the trick is too powerful, but that his strength is too weak.

Just like a lower-level mage could kill him instantly with a fireball, due to the level advantage, Veigar felt that the trickery could be described as a magical skill.

Although he was a little disappointed, he was much stronger than other mages of the same level. Using the trickery and shadow techniques he had learned, Veigar could almost kill any mage of the same level in seconds, and could even challenge a higher level mage. This was the terrifying part about shadow mages.

It can be said without exaggeration.

In war, the rare shadow mages are different from the elemental mages who directly participate in large-scale wars.

Their role is to assassinate, to assassinate constantly, to assassinate enemy officers and politicians, to assassinate enemy mages, to assassinate professionals, and to assassinate all targets that need to be eliminated.

While carrying out the assassination, he also performed reconnaissance tasks.

They are like lone wolves, so powerful that no one can keep up with them and become their companions.

Stand up.

Vega looked at the setting sun hanging on the mountainside and calmed down a little.

The basic preparations have been completed, and the next thing to do is to get the evidence to the commander-in-chief.

Under normal circumstances, given the severity of the incident, even if Vega had lost the basic authority of the Imperial Wings, he could still go directly to the army and apply to meet with Commander-in-Chief Foster.

But it’s definitely not possible now.

Because he has become a wanted criminal, if he rashly goes to the army, it would be no different from seeking death. He doesn't think the soldiers guarding the gate will believe his words, and the biggest possibility is that he will be caught on the spot.

Therefore, Veigar needs to find a trustworthy middleman to help him successfully meet with the commander-in-chief.

As for who this candidate is.

Vega already had his own plans in mind.

He looked at the sky and did not go to look for this person immediately. Instead, he took out the dry food he bought when he came out of the Professional Guild and ate it slowly, without any sense of urgency at all.

The time came to 18:00.

The night sky comes earlier in winter, and it is completely dark at 18:.

And at this time.

Vega has also disappeared into the abandoned residential building.

Veigar deliberately waited until the sun set before taking action, in order to improve the effectiveness of the two spells. After all, in this special situation, the more strength you can gain, the more protection you will have.

Walk to the end of East Street.

Vega's target was clear, it was the noble area in the northern district.

Those who live here are either aristocratic families with a long history, or some wealthy businessmen.

The only requirement to live here is to be rich, because the house prices here are the highest in Kareni. Although the nobles have withdrawn from the stage of imperial power struggle, they still have huge wealth inherited from them.

But Vega didn't come here to look for any nobles.

His real purpose was to find his old boss, Gunther Burton. As far as Vega knew, Gunther Burton was a descendant of the nobility. He owned his own house and some guards in the aristocratic area of ​​Kalini.

That's right.

The best candidate in Vega's mind is Gunther Burton.

Although Gunther Burton did not care about his life or death at the critical moment, he did not care about his life or death at all.

But the upper echelons of the military are a place where only interests matter, not relationships.

After working together for such a long time, Vega could see that Gunther Burton was the kind of officer who would strive for the top position as long as there was an opportunity, no matter how big the risk was. Although such a person could not share adversity, he could share wealth.

in short.

As long as Vega's cake is big enough, there is nothing that Gunther Burton dare not do.
