Mage Veigar

Chapter 19: All that’s missing is the east wind?

The opportunity is here.

When Vega saw two privates entering the store, he knew he could proceed as planned.

The problem now was how to approach the two soldiers without causing any disturbance. He was not sure if there were any spies from the United Kingdom in the crowded bakery.

At this time, two soldiers walked to the shelves on both sides.

"Toast again today?"

"Why not change the taste?"

Hearing the conversation between the two soldiers, Carlo was about to step forward to introduce other breads to the two soldiers, but Vega stepped forward and said, "Two soldiers, if you are tired of eating toast bread, I think you will like this slightly sweet pineapple bun. This is also the favorite bread of the nobles recently."

One of the soldiers became interested: "Little devil, is this really the bread that the nobles like?"

"Of course."

Vega nodded, picked up a larger pineapple bun and handed it to one of the soldiers.

The moment he handed it to the other party, Vega secretly put the Iron Cross medal hidden in his sleeve into the soldier's hand under the cover of bread, and moved his left hand slightly, making an internal emergency distress signal that only official soldiers could understand.

Take the bread.

The corporal stood there in a daze.

At this moment, he and his companions glanced at the Iron Cross medal under the bread with the corner of their eyes, and also understood the gesture made by Vega's left hand, but the only thing they couldn't understand was that the person who did this was actually a young child.

Why did a young child know the secret code for internal communication in their army?

The two men looked at each other, and both thought that the military code might be leaked. However, not everyone can have the Iron Cross. Only those who have killed a certain number of enemy soldiers and officers and completed important tasks can obtain this high-level medal of honor.

During the war.

The holder of the medal can gain the trust and help of any soldier in the empire no matter where he is, and also has the privilege of meeting with brigade commanders at any time and making suggestions and requests to them.

This child must be trusted.

It took the two soldiers less than a second to realize the importance of the matter. They also understood that Vega did not want to reveal some important information in public.

The soldier holding the bread rolled his eyes.

He pulled his companion, took the bread covered with the Iron Cross medal in his hand and walked out the door without paying, while acting as if he was eating a free meal.

Carlo wanted to stop it, but his outstretched hand was held down by the store manager Carbin.

The customers also lowered their heads and pretended that they saw nothing. After all, there would be no good consequences if you angered a soldier.

"You haven't paid yet."

When the two men reached the door, Vega chased after them, his clear voice echoing in the store.

"Ok?"

The soldier held Veigar in his left hand and said, "You little brat, who said I didn't pay? Come with me, or I'll teach you a lesson."

Saying so, the two soldiers carried Vega into a dark, deserted alley.

The guests were not surprised and ate their bread calmly.

But seeing this, Carlo wanted to follow him out. A few minutes ago, Leah, who was busy in the kitchen, had asked him to take good care of Vega. Now that something happened to Vega, how would he explain to Leah?

"Carlo, stop!"

The manager of Carbine pulled Carlo's hand and said, "We can't afford to offend the soldiers. They won't kill the kid. They probably just want to teach him a lesson. Do you want to get beaten up with him?" "I..."

Carlo showed an embarrassment on his face, but he finally gritted his teeth and chased after them: "I won't conflict with them. I'm too embarrassed to see Leah if I don't do anything."

----

In a dark alley.

When Vega was sure that no one was following him and there was no one else in the alley, he revealed his identity.

At the same time, he took out a written letter for help and handed it to the soldier: "Soldier, even at the cost of your life, you must deliver this letter to the commander or chief of staff of the 7rd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 3th Division. This is related to the future strategic planning of the entire corps."

"Yes, sir!"

The two men saluted solemnly and swore the highest oath: "Swear by the glory of the empire, we are willing to dedicate our hearts to the future of the empire."

"May the glory of the empire be with you." Veigar returned the salute.

The two soldiers quickly disappeared at the end of the alley with the letter for help and Vega's Iron Cross. They did not doubt anything Vega said. Soldiers with the Iron Cross represented absolute loyalty to the empire.

"All is ready except for the opportunity."

Vega watched the two men leave, then gave a bitter smile, then swung his fist and punched him fiercely in the eye.

With a black eye, Vega rolled on the ground twice, looking like he had been severely punished, before limping towards the store.

When I returned to the store, I was inevitably ridiculed.

However, the store manager didn't say anything. He considerately gave him a piece of bread and told him that he didn't have to work today and could go back and rest.

He originally wanted to put on a full show, but since the store manager said so, Vega was of course happy to have some free time. So after comforting Leah, who was almost crying because of her worry about him, he walked towards the room alone, quietly waiting for the rescue of the Imperial Army.

"Hopefully the army won't make me wait until tomorrow."

Vega complained quietly, took out his key, and prepared to open the door to rest.

"Ok?"

Vega found that the door lock had been opened, so he pushed the door open and found a child rummaging through the cabinets in his room, as if looking for something.

"who are you?"

Vega's voice startled the child. After he turned around, Vega saw clearly that the other person was the store manager's second son, Kadi: "You are... Kadi."

Kadi didn't answer. He stood up and walked out the door. When he passed by Vega, he said, "Hmph, you two poor fellows. You don't even have a single copper coin on you, and you dare to eat and drink for free in our house."

Vega clenched his fists, then unclenched them.

After Kadi disappeared around the corner, Vega laughed at himself and said, "I'm really going backwards. I actually got angry with a spoiled teenager. It's a pity that I couldn't bring the box of gold coins from the casino, otherwise why would Leah have to suffer here..."

After this incident, Vega decided to take Leah away afterwards.

Although he didn't bring the box of gold coins with him, could he let Leah starve with his salary? The only thing he lacked was a house, but his single room wasn't too crowded for two people to sleep in. Well, it was definitely not because he was too lonely and wanted to find a companion.

Taking off his dirty bakery uniform, Vega put on a linen shirt and prepared to clean up the room.

When he touched his chest out of habit, his expression suddenly changed: "Where's my map?"

I wish you all a happy 2018, and please support me in the new year~, so let's be practical and give your votes. There is no need to discuss the issue of Leah anymore, and I won't whet her appetite. The plot definitely needs her to die, haha.


