Mage Veigar

Chapter 125: God's Grace Festival

It has been 4 days since I got my last name.

Since the commendation meeting has not yet been held, no more than five people know that Vega has obtained the surname Kalini. However, correspondingly, the wanted order against Vega was revoked a few days ago.

Because the holder of the surname cannot be convicted by the trial system.

First of all, the holder of the surname must be a hero loyal to the empire, and there is almost no possibility that such a person would commit a crime.

Secondly, even if some mistakes were made, they must be some insignificant things. Compared with the great achievements, these mistakes should certainly be forgiven.

Moreover, the number of holders of city-level surnames and above in the empire does not exceed 25 people in total, so this naturally requires special treatment.

Of course, there are ways to judge the holder of the surname.

If one wants to try a city-level surname holder, one first needs to collect signatures from 1/10 of the population of the city to which the surname belongs, or 100 million people. This is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive task, not to mention that it is still unclear whether the signatures can be collected.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the holders of city-level surnames do not commit crimes that wrath the gods and the people, almost no one can target them with blatant charges or righteousness.

In summary.

Vega no longer had to worry about anyone accusing him of a crime in Kareni's territory. The only thing he had to worry about was improving his strength to guard against being secretly targeted by various forces.

Other than that.

Once Vega left the territory of Kareni, this surname would only bring him glory and respect, but he would not be able to enjoy all the privileges in the city of Kareni.

For Vega, this was enough.

Vega, who was patrolling the city center with a team of professionals, stopped and collected his thoughts.

During these four days, 4 soldiers were mobilized to secretly block the entire city of Kareni. Anyone from the law enforcement team who wanted to leave the city gate would be arrested and detained.

However, the orders that Vega received were different from those of ordinary troops.

Now the entire army, including 4 professional battalions including Vega, 1 mage squadron, 1 mage squadron from the trial system, and two mage squads, are blocking the central area of ​​Kareni.

They received intelligence.

Bruno Valen, director of the General Enforcement Administration, moved into the Kalini Center, the core control area of ​​the Crystal Hub, more than a week ago. This was originally a place heavily guarded by the General Enforcement Administration, and its security level was more than five times that of the General Enforcement Administration.

Or to others, it may seem normal.

But the top brass all knew clearly that Bruno knew his identity might be exposed, so he hid here, trying to use the Crystal Hub as a threat to make the military and the judicial system afraid to take any action and dare not forcibly encircle and suppress the group.

Plus, the Crystal Hub has always been managed by the government system.

Bruno is very familiar with the control of this place. The mechanisms, traps and troop distribution were all arranged by him.

In order to prevent Bruno from doing something that would lead to his own downfall.

The military and the judicial system did not dare to force the mages and professionals to break through to the core control area of ​​the crystal hub without 100% certainty. Once the crystal hub was destroyed, it would be useless even if Bruno was cut into pieces.

therefore.

The military and the judicial system are waiting.

Waiting for the mage support troops to be mobilized back from the front line before tomorrow night.

According to the commander-in-chief's request, the mage support force returning from the front line is the only squadron in the entire Third Army composed entirely of shadow mages. As long as this 40-man shadow mage squadron arrives, it will be easy to eliminate Bruno's threat and keep the crystal hub at the same time.

In Veigar's opinion, Bruno was just fighting a desperate battle. Even Veigar had heard of the Shadow Mage Squadron's great reputation.

This is a terrifying team that is proficient in various assassination techniques and specializes in decapitation tactics. Veigar, who is a shadow mage himself, feels despair at the thought of being targeted by 40 shadow mages.

The only thing that annoyed Vega was that today was God’s Grace Day!
Looking at the central area of ​​Kareni, the streets and alleys were decorated with lights and every civilian was smiling, but he could only watch with envy with his troops. It was heartbreaking to think about it.

Gudong.

A subordinate beside him watched the civilians carrying all kinds of food home. He couldn't help swallowing and whispered, "Captain, do you think the commander will give us half a day off tonight? Today is God's Grace Day. I don't want to sleep on the street and eat dry food during the New Year's Day."

Everyone turned their eyes to Vega.

Their eyes were full of hope, but Vega said ruthlessly: "I think you should pray that you can celebrate the God's Grace Festival at home next year."

Vega said so and walked forward.

Last year on Grace Day, he could only watch through the window as others enjoyed plenty of food and clothing.

This year, things finally turned around, and he even planned to go back to the officers' apartment to prepare a table of delicious food for himself. However, thanks to Bruno, he might have to sleep on the streets again on Grace Day this year.

Looking up at the gradually darkening night, Vega felt a little sad.

"This is for you."

While Vega was in a daze, a little girl about his age suddenly came over and stuffed some candies into his hands.

The little girl looked at Vega with innocent eyes and said, "Little brother, are you a soldier? My father is also an imperial soldier, but he hasn't been back for several years. Can you help me tell my father if Elena misses him?"

Just as Vega was about to answer, a woman came over in a hurry.

"Sir, I'm so sorry that Elena has caused you trouble."

As she spoke, she grabbed the little girl, bowed to Vega to apologize, and immediately turned around to leave. During this time, she continued to scold the little girl, but the little girl kept looking back at Vega, her eyes full of hope.

Vega nodded to the little girl to express his affirmation, and the little girl left with a bright smile.

"call."

Vega let out a long breath.

Not having returned home for several years means that the girl's father must be an ordinary soldier who did not pass the boot camp. For such a soldier, the chance of survival once war breaks out is less than 1/5.

As for whether war will break out?
It was only a matter of time. Vega didn't think that the desperate United Kingdom would not start a war.

Looking at the bustling streets, Vega found it hard to imagine what the scene would be like if a war broke out.

Time comes to night.

When the bright moon rose and brilliant fireworks took off into the sky, the atmosphere of the Divine Grace Festival was officially ignited.

After dinner, civilians took to the streets, singing and dancing, enjoying the joy of the New Year.

But Vega had no time to care about these.

Because he received news that a law enforcement team was quietly gathering in the core control area of ​​the Crystal Hub.
