Mage Veigar

Chapter 116: Stay with me to the end!

"You came."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"I know."

"And yet you came anyway."

Silence, deathly silence.

The clouds parted at dawn, the curtains moved slightly, and Vega and Gunther Burton sat opposite each other in the room.

Gunther Burton picked up a cup of warm coffee on the table and took a sip. Even at home, he still wore a serious military uniform. His slightly frowned brows had almost twisted into a knot since he saw Vega.

tick-tock-

The pendulum of the western clock continued to swing, and the two of them were silent.

Veigar was silent, waiting for Gunther's reply, while Gunther was silent, guessing the purpose of Veigar's visit.

Honestly.

In such a critical moment, he did not want to have too much contact with Vega. Once someone witnessed him contacting Vega, it would not only lower his reputation in the army, but also cause displeasure to the trial system.

Just two days ago.

When Vega fled for fear of crime and was listed as a wanted criminal by the judicial system.

The prosecutor of the trial system once brought people to investigate the situation. He almost immediately denied that he was familiar with Vega, and said that they had only met twice due to work reasons.

Although everyone knows that this is nonsense.

You, Gunther Burton, were able to sit in this position thanks to Vega's contribution, but Gunther Burton still resolutely stated that he had cut off his relationship with Vega. This was of course an attitude that he showed to the judicial system and the military top brass.

If someone were seen in contact with Vega at this time.

Just thinking about it made Gunther Burton feel a chill down his spine, but now he could do nothing about it.

As for why?
Of course, it’s because Vega is too powerful.

His guards, the army's guards, and even the magician he recruited were no match for Vega. Gunther was worried that if he refused sternly and Vega was pushed into a corner, he would probably fight to the death.

Therefore, even if I am unwilling.

Gunther Burton finally sighed and stopped remaining silent.

"Go ahead."

Seeing that Gunther Burton finally gave in, Vega smiled triumphantly: "Mr. Brigadier, I want to see the commander-in-chief."

"impossible."

Gunther Burton rejected it immediately: "I can help you escape from Kareni, and even give you a large sum of money, but I really can't help you meet the commander-in-chief."

It’s not that we can’t, but that we dare not.

Of course, Gunther Burton didn't dare to agree to Vega's request.

When the authority of the Imperial Wings was frozen, it meant that Vega had been abandoned by the military.

This is the military's statement to the entire trial system. It is also indirectly telling the Level 1 chief judge of the trial system that the Third Army has no intention of breaking the rules of the game, and asks the trial system to continue to abide by the rules of the game.

What are the rules of the game?

The trial system does not intervene in cases handled by the investigation team, and the military does not intervene in cases reported to the trial system.

This is the secret game rule between the two systems, and the beneficiary of this game is undoubtedly the army. This is the power that Foster, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, fought hard for at the last Kalini Three Powers Summit, but everything needs to be done in moderation. Once the army goes too far, it will inevitably face the crazy resistance of the trial system.

Sacrifice one Vega to preserve the rules of the game. This is the attitude of the military.

As a newly promoted brigade commander, if he openly brought a person wanted by the judicial system to meet the commander-in-chief, it would be easy for the judicial system to misunderstand that the military intended to break the rules of the game.

Breaking the rules of the game?

The judicial system has been waiting for this day for four years. They have been eager to take back the little judicial power they were forced to hand over at next year's three-power summit, but the military absolutely does not want to break the rules of the game.

Once he does.

Not to mention that the entire Third Army will not let him go, even the trial system will treat him as a pawn for the army to express its stance.

Targeted by the two largest and most powerful forces in Kareni.

Just thinking about it made Gunther Burton feel like the world was ending.

But Vega was not going to give in. "Escape from Kareni like a stray dog? Will I have a better future if I change my environment? Ha! I can handle this. As long as I can meet the commander-in-chief, I will make him break the rules of the game for me."

"Ah!"

Gunther Burton showed a mocking expression for the first time: "Second Lieutenant Vega, oh, no, Mr. Wanted Criminal, do you know how important this rule of the game is to the Third Army? Or is your weight comparable to the entire Third Army?"

“A mere Third Army?” Vega stood up.

A pale moonlight shone through the rustling gap in the curtains and finally shone on Vega's young face.

Gunther Burton saw Vega's expression.

What words can describe this expression?
The confidence of a counselor?
Gambler's madness?
No matter what words are used, perhaps only "crazy confident" can describe Vega's expression.

He was like a war maniac holding the button of a nuclear bomb, and said in an extremely crazy tone: "Not enough, not enough! Want to be as important as me? Then please first take over the entire city of Kareni and the empire's northern front of one million square kilometers!"

boom!
Vega leaned over and slammed his hands on the table, making a dull sound.

An extremely crazy and provocative voice echoed in the room: "Brigadier General Gunther, I will not tell you where my confidence comes from. I just want to ask you, do you dare to take this gamble?"

Eyes facing each other.

What Gunther saw was a look that was even crazier than madness.

He stared at Vega blankly. How could this body weighing less than 50 kg be compared with the empire's northern territory of one million square kilometers? Any normal person would not believe such crazy words.

And he is getting old.

Being able to sit in the position of brigade commander has already fulfilled my lifelong dream. There is no need to take risks with this madman now. What's more, this is just the other party's one-sided words. Regardless of whether it is credible or not, what will happen even if I win the bet?
But if you lose the bet, you will have nothing.

People should be content with what they have and not think about unrealistic things.

Wow!

Gunther Burton drank the coffee in his hand and slammed it heavily on the table.

"Lieutenant Vega, I, Gunther Burton, will fight you to the end!"

Gunther Burton's equally crazy voice echoed throughout the room. Even though he gave himself thousands of reasons to refuse, when the words came to his lips, they turned into an extremely crazy affirmative answer.

At this age, you shouldn't be swayed by emotions.

But opportunities and dangers coexist, and Vega has never let him down.

If you don’t want to give anything, what can you get?
Let’s be crazy one last time!

Gunther Burton was unwilling to stop here in his life. This time, he would either have nothing or reach great heights.

Um, that, this... I went to play in Summoner's Rift tonight... Ahem, wait, I'll find an excuse. Well, because I updated 6000 words last night, I hurt my finger, so I'll just write one chapter today. Please be sure to show some respect for the clumsy author T_T~
