Mage Veigar

Chapter 115 A little test
The Burton family.

This was one of the emerging noble families in Kareni two hundred years ago.

Today, the nobility has withdrawn from the stage of power struggle. If they still hold on to the fantasy of restoring the glory of the nobility and a superior attitude, they will inevitably be ruthlessly crushed by the wheel of history.

The title of nobility is more of an honor.

However, they still retain the qualifications to establish a guard team, but the size of this guard team and the number of weapons they possess are fully controlled by government departments. Their current status is only slightly higher than that of civilians and wealthy businessmen.

But that's enough.

Although they have withdrawn from the center of power, the property left by their ancestors is enough for them to squander for several lifetimes.

But not all nobles cling to their past glory and live a life of idleness and waiting for death.

Some ambitious aristocratic families, relying on the original accumulation of wealth, began to develop towards the business and political circles. Compared with the grassroots, they have greater advantages.

However, few nobles developed in the direction of military.

Because in the empire's army, ability is paramount, and this ability is mainly based on intelligence and force, while strong financial resources can only add icing on the cake but cannot provide timely assistance.

Gunther Burton was different.

He realized that with their family's accumulated wealth, even if they had been doing business for a hundred years, they could not be compared with the old aristocrats, because some people were already at the end when they were born, so he chose to join the army.

Now he is a brigade commander.

As one of the core members of the division, no one dared to ignore his presence even at a banquet of old nobles.

That's why.

His mansion had moved from the edge of the aristocratic area to the center of the area.

In front of the luxurious mansion.

Vega stared at the word "Burton" on the doorplate in a daze.

Today, he finally realized that he had been deceived.

What does it mean to be unable to commit to a magic for the time being?

When Gunther and Andre were fighting for him in the Professional Guild, he actually believed Gunther Burton's nonsense.

Now it seems.

It's not that Gunther Burton can't afford to teach a magic trick, but that he just wants to get something for nothing.

It turns out that the army is the most ruthless place.

Vega calmed himself down and did not enter through the main gate.

Because he could vaguely see a guard patrolling through the door, and he was now a wanted criminal, so the fewer people who knew about his late-night visit to the imperial officer, the better.

Climb over the wall.

Veigar did not use Trickery.

It is good enough to have one or two professionals in the guard team of an ordinary noble. Moreover, these domesticated professionals are different from those in the army. They have not experienced the baptism of blood and fire. Even if they are one level higher than him, it is difficult to find his trace.

clack.

Vega fell to the ground.

According to the plan, he intended to sneak into Burton's mansion first, and then slowly find out which room Gunther was in.

But when he landed, Vega suddenly found that he was surrounded.

Vega looked confusedly at the two professionals and a dozen ordinary guards surrounding him.

This is totally impossible.

When did domestic professionals develop such a keen sense of smell?
Vega took a closer look.

It was discovered that these two professionals, one was an apprentice level 2, and the other was an apprentice level 3. With such strength, even if he was a little arrogant when he climbed over the wall, it would be impossible to spot him.

“This is private property.”

One of the third-level apprentices held a spear and said, "Please put down your weapons and tell us who you are and what you want to do. According to the laws of the empire, if you show any resistance, we have the right to execute you on the spot."

"Do not misunderstand."

Since he was discovered, Vega could only say helplessly: "Your master and I are old acquaintances. This time I came to visit Brigadier General Gunther Burton. I have no ill intentions."

"Ah!"

Another professional laughed out loud: "Since you want to visit our master, you should report through the main gate according to etiquette. You sneaked in by climbing over the wall. I think you want to harm the master."

"Put your weapons down and put your hands up."

The level 3 professional pointed his spear and seemed rather rigid. Judging from his attitude, he would probably attack at the slightest refusal.

Vega did not lower his weapon.

He looked at the two professionals with eyes full of regret.

Why is it regrettable?

If he could kill these two professionals, maybe he could be promoted to a second-level magician. However, they were both Gunther Burton's men after all, so he definitely couldn't kill them. The most he could do was teach them a lesson.

"asshole."

The second-level apprentice professional immediately became angry when he saw Vega's attitude.

A petty thief broke into their territory, not only did he not feel the slightest bit of remorse, but he also showed an attitude of being fearless and not taking them seriously. After all, they were professionals, and when had they ever been seen through like this?

The weapon of a second-level apprentice professional is a more alternative battle axe.

The tall and strong man rushed over while shouting. Vega's size in front of him was like the difference between a cat and a tiger, a chicken and an eagle. In the eyes of others, he could probably sit on Vega to death.

boom.

A cloud of smoke and dust filled the air.

The final facts prove that the strength cannot be judged by size.

After the smoke cleared, the second-level trainee, who was several times the size of Vega, had fainted with foam coming out of his mouth, while Vega hadn't even drawn his dagger.

Gudong.

Everyone swallowed.

Especially those ordinary guards, their faces were pale with fright.

This is their deputy captain. Not to mention his strength as a second-level trainee, just looking at his terrifying size, he can probably sweep away several ordinary people with a wave of his hand. But what did they see?

This child.

He actually knocked the deputy captain, who was holding a battle axe and firing at full speed, to the ground with just one kick.

If this kick touches... no, touches their bodies, they will probably have to spend the rest of their lives in bed.

But the third-level apprentice professional did not retreat.

Although he was indeed stunned by Vega's kick, even judging by the naked eye, he could probably guess that the opponent's strength was above level four, and he was obviously a professional with extremely rich combat experience. Even if he faced him, he would probably be able to defeat him in one move.

But he was the captain of the guard.

Since I have become a retainer of the Burton family, I naturally cannot retreat at this time.

"I don't want to create conflict with you."

Vega walked forward and said, "I said I was only here to visit Brigadier General Gunther Burton. Now that you have found me, please show me the way so I don't have to look around."

"If you want to find our master, you have to get past me first." Vega sighed as he looked at the other party's determined expression. It seemed that there was no way to reach an agreement through negotiation. He strode closer, ready to give the other party a blow. After all, he was a free-range fourth-level apprentice professional, so it was easy for him to deal with a third-level professional.

But at this moment, a voice was heard.

"Sisi, step back, you are no match for him."

A young magician wearing an exquisite cloak and holding a staff in his hand walked out of the darkness.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Level 4 Apprentice Professional, don't take your ability into consideration and ignore everyone else. You should know that there are people in this world who are more powerful than professionals."

"Magician?"

Vega was stunned. He finally understood how he was exposed.

He was afraid that as soon as he stepped into the wall, he would be discovered by the other party's mental power. However, looking at the current situation, the other party did not seem to realize that he was also a magician, and mistakenly thought that he was a fourth-level apprentice professional.

A first-level magician?
Vega roughly determined the opponent's strength in his heart, because he couldn't see through his identity as a magician, and the most likely possibility was that the opponent was a level 1 or 2 magician. As for level 3 and above, as long as they saw him take action, they would definitely be able to detect his strength.

The magician did not realize that he had been seen through by Vega, but instead thought that Vega was afraid of his identity.

Therefore, he said with great satisfaction: "Since you know that I am a magician, then surrender now. If you wait for me to make a move, I will not be able to control my strength and burn you to ashes. Don't blame me for showing no mercy."

"I don't like to be caught without a fight."

Vega said in a rather helpless tone: "Because surrendering would make me feel like I'm handing my life over to someone else, and I hate this feeling."

"Since you have chosen..."

The magician shrugged, as if he was giving you a chance but you didn't know how to cherish it: "Fire Style: Flame Explosion!"

not good!

When Vega felt the opponent's mental power surge, alarm bells rang in his heart. The opponent was not a first-level magician at all, but a second-level magician, and the strength of this magic looked like second-level magic no matter how you looked at it.

boom.

A huge roar.

A large fireball suddenly fell from the sky and landed right where Vega was.

This large fireball was as powerful as an RPG rocket launcher. It not only created a large hole in Vega's position, but also destroyed the stone wall behind him. Once hit by this large fireball, even a high-level professional would be reduced to ashes.

Of course, the prerequisite is to hit the target.

However, if a higher-level professional can dodge it in advance, it does not mean that a level 4 apprentice professional can dodge it.

unless……

The other party also possesses mental power and can sense the prelude to his spellcasting in advance.

But is this possible?

Being a magician is not a common profession, and Rayleigh, the second-level elemental mage, is particularly sure of this.

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt a chill on his neck.

what is this?
When he touched his neck with his left hand, Rayleigh's expression changed drastically.

When did a dagger already stand on his neck? Why was his mental strength completely unaware of it?
He subconsciously wanted to bounce off the wizard's shield, but gave up the idea because he was not sure whether his wizard's shield could be faster than the opponent's dagger.

"Mr. Mage."

A familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Now please cooperate. Throw the staff in your hand to the ground and raise your hands. If you don't cooperate, you should know that at such a close distance, your magic shield will not have time to react."

"Damn it! You are..."

Rayleigh made an angry sound: "Shadow Mage!"

Shadow mage.

The most notorious branch in the mage circle.

Even a million-word novel could not describe how much Elemental Mages hate Shadow Mages.

If Shadow Mages are placed on the battlefield, their efficiency in killing enemies is not as good as that of a first-level Elemental Mage. Even a first-level Fire Mage can kill a large number of enemy troops with a few fireballs, but what can Shadow Mages do?

Fight in close combat like professionals?

Not only is it inefficient, it is a disgrace to the mage.

But if the Shadow Mage were to be used in an assassination mission, he would be able to at least assassinate the Elemental Mage three levels higher.

Therefore, Shadow Mages are the most notorious in the mage field. They never fight head-on, but always stab others in the back. This despicable behavior makes Rayleigh particularly disgusted.

In his opinion, the romance of a wizard should be explosion!

Fortunately, Shadow Mages are relatively rare after all.

But he didn't expect to meet the most notorious existence in the field of magic here.

This probability...what else can I say?
Rayleigh sighed, put down the staff in his hand and raised both hands, because he knew that with the mental power of a level 2 magician, he could not detect the trace of the Shadow Mage at all, and all resistance would be in vain.

clack.

Veigar kicked the staff away.

He couldn't help but think that it seemed that this trick performed quite well in actual combat.

He nodded in satisfaction, then put down his dagger and said, "Mr. Mage, please do not resist recklessly. You should know that the single combat capability of a shadow mage is not comparable to that of elemental mages like you who are good at large-scale warfare."

"Of course I know this."

Rayleigh shrugged and said, "But I won't tell you where Lord Ganser is now, and I've just sent someone to notify the law enforcement team. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you find Lord Ganser, I'm afraid you won't be able to return alive."

Rayleigh was quite flustered.

He didn't even notify any law enforcement team, because who knew the other party was actually a shadow mage.

But his face was quite calm: "Of course, don't think that you can escape unscathed just because you are a shadow mage. I am not afraid to tell you that there is a second-level shadow mage named Nightingale in the Law Enforcement Team Headquarters. He will personally take action when the time comes... hehe."

nightingale?

Vega didn't specifically answer.

He just walked towards the house. "Don't worry about whether I can get back alive. Now I just want to find Brigadier General Ganser. If you don't tell me the location, I will find it myself. If you still want to block my way... hehe."

Vega snorted twice, imitating Rayleigh, which frightened him so much that he shrank his head.

Just when Rayleigh was hesitating whether to sacrifice his life for justice.

A figure walked towards this side, and then made a beautiful voice like wind chimes: "Mr. Rayleigh, I heard an explosion. What happened?"

"Damn it."

Rayleigh spat secretly, quickly raised the Mage Shield, and blocked Veigar with his bare hands, while shouting, "Miss, don't come over here. Tell Lord Ganser to retreat urgently. Even if it costs my life, I will buy you time to retreat."

"besides……"

Rayleigh gritted his teeth, thinking that he was about to die, and yelled: "Miss, I like you!"

There was no response from the visitor.

While Rayleigh was wondering, the girl he had a crush on not only did not follow his orders to retreat, but walked towards him quickly: "Brother Vega, why are you here?"

When I heard the word "brother".

At this moment, Rayleigh wanted to die.
