Mage Veigar

Chapter 120 New Position

Office of the Commander-in-Chief.

Veigar and Brigadier General Gunther stood across from the commander's desk.

At this time, Geralt, the prosecutor of the Military Procuratorate, stood next to them.

"Mr. Prosecutor."

Commander-in-Chief Foster didn't even open his eyes. "Why did you take the trouble to come to our army so early in the morning? What are you doing here?"

"Your Excellency the Commander is wise."

Geralt said in a confident and exuberant tone, "We have received news that Lieutenant Veigar, a wanted criminal of the Procuratorate, has entered the Third Army early in the morning. I have been ordered to come here to arrest him. I hope the Commander-in-Chief will understand."

Say so.

Geralt sneered at Veigar.

In his opinion, Vega could have gone anywhere else, but he actually returned to the Third Army so early in the morning. Under such circumstances, how could the Third Army break the rules and protect a small lieutenant, even if the lieutenant was a magician.

But things turned out to be beyond his expectations.

Commander-in-Chief Foster actually responded immediately: "Of course I will cooperate with the work of the procuratorate, but please understand the work of the military. Lieutenant Vega still has some important work to hand over, so I will temporarily hand it over to you."

"Are you kidding..."

Geralt was about to yell in anger, but suddenly realized that the person sitting opposite him was the commander-in-chief of the Third Army. In terms of rank and authority, Foster was at the same level as the Level 1 Chief Judge of the trial system.

And what is he?
He is just a small prosecutor in the third-level procuratorate under the judicial system.

Even though he was a child of destiny, he was nothing more than an insignificant ant in the face of absolute power. He realized that this was not the place for him to act arrogantly.

But he was unwilling to leave like this.

Vega did something that made him, a favored child of heaven, lose face. He had already regained part of this face from Andre, and now only Vega's part had not been regained. He had never suffered a loss before, so he could not swallow this humiliation no matter what.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief."

For the first time, Geralt learned to speak in a humble tone: "I wonder how long it will take for the military to complete the handover? I am willing to wait here for Lieutenant Veigar to complete the handover."

"You don't have to wait."

Foster's tone was like that of a three-year-old child. "I can't give you an exact number of days. Please come back and check again later. As long as the work is handed over, the military will certainly not hinder your work."

When Geralt heard what Foster said, he was furious.

This perfunctory excuse was simply a rhetoric he had used so often in his daily work. Geralt had never imagined that there would come a day when he would be speechless because of the rhetoric he had used so often.

What to do?

Geralt could see that the army had no intention of handing over Veggar.

Unwilling to give up, Geralt gritted his teeth and asked, "Excuse me, Commander, what is the task that takes so long to hand over?"

"Ok?"

Commander-in-Chief Foster said in a slightly cold tone: "Mr. Prosecutor, is your judicial system ready to start interfering in the internal affairs of the military? Please give me an accurate answer."

"No, it's not."

Geralt broke out in a cold sweat. "I am just asking this on my own behalf. This is definitely not the attitude of the trial system."

"Just a casual question?"

Foster chuckled and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Prosecutor, since you are asking about the internal affairs of the military in your personal capacity, do I have the right to kill you right here on the spot for the crime of prying into the empire's military secrets?"

Hearing this, Geralt's face turned pale.

Only then did he realize that the old man was indeed the wisest. With just a few words, he was transformed from the one who was accusing the enemy to the one who was being accused. Even if the other party killed him now, it would be reasonable.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me."

Geralt knelt down in humiliation and begged for mercy: "I apologize for my slip of the tongue, and I ask the commander-in-chief to forgive me this time."

"Cough cough..."

Foster coughed twice and put on a friendly tone: "Hey, Mr. Prosecutor, please get up quickly. I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously. I feel a little sorry for it."

“……” Vega on the side forced himself to keep his mouth shut and almost laughed out loud.

Foster was just treating Geralt like a child, especially the last sentence 'you actually took it seriously', which was a naked mockery of Geralt.

suffocated.

Geralt felt more frustrated than ever before.

He realized that it would be almost impossible to force Foster to compromise from the side. With his abilities and means, he would most likely be outmaneuvered by the other party. What he had to do now was to leave quickly and then make long-term plans.

"Hehehe..."

Geralt smiled dryly and apologized. "I'm very sorry, I really don't have a sense of humor. Since Lieutenant Veigar has important work to hand over, I will go back first. Please notify me when Lieutenant Veigar's work is handed over."

Foster waved his hand, signaling Geralt to go down.

When Geralt left the room in frustration.

Commander-in-Chief Foster said, "I didn't expect the trial system to be so anxious. Lieutenant Vega, I think you should stay in the barracks for the next few days. As for your future position, Brigadier General Ganser's command is not a bad place."

"Yes, Lord Commander-in-Chief."

"Brigadier Gunther."

Foster nodded, then said to Gunther, "It's up to you to decide on Vega's specific position, but we still have to take care of our subordinates' feelings. Please refer to Lieutenant Vega's personal opinion for detailed work arrangements."

"I understand."

"Very good, you guys go down."

After receiving the commander's order, Vega and Gunther walked out of the headquarters.

And Vega finally returned to the army from then on. Although he did not receive any substantial rewards and even his rank was not promoted, Vega believed that the commander-in-chief would not lose any benefits after the matter was completely settled.

Now all he had to do was wait.

Waiting for the matter to be over, waiting for the director of the General Law Enforcement Agency, Bruno, to be completely finished.

During this waiting period.

Vega just wanted to familiarize himself with the position he was about to take up. He believed that as his old boss and partner, Ganther would never send him to the frontier, and the commander's words made his meaning very clear.

The army is very efficient.

The review for reinstatement and transfer was approved at noon that day.

After consulting Vega, Ganther finally transferred Vega to the Professional Battalion of the A91 Brigade as the captain. This professional battalion is almost the best position with real power except for the mage squad.

Of course, this position is only temporary.

Because Ganther's promotion is imminent, Veigar's final destination must be closely related to Ganther's promotion, because strictly speaking, Veigar has been completely tied to Ganther's chariot.

Everyone, I like to write.

I have always regarded writing as a lifelong hobby. When I write about the plots I like, I would even smile with joy. Then what I didn’t expect was that this self-congratulatory book actually gathered so many like-minded friends.

But today I suddenly felt a little discouraged.

Because I haven't played games with my friends for more than a month, I played a few games with them the day before yesterday, and only updated one chapter that day. Then today I found 4 or 5 book reviews in the book review area greeting my whole family.

Maybe this is what it means when a child who doesn’t cry gets no candy.

Should I learn from others and make an excuse like having a cold or having an IV drip? Maybe then I won’t be questioned by the whole family.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up.

After all, I am not the kind of person who is good at playing the victim.

So I won’t read the book review section anymore.

I will bury my head in typing, writing as much as I can, without saying a word or getting annoyed.

Finally, I would like to apologize to the book friends whose posts I deleted in anger. After all, it is not easy to follow the book until now.
