Mage Veigar

Chapter 195 Shocking Price
The welcoming ceremony was grand.

This grand ceremony won Vega's favor to a certain extent. After all, there is no one who doesn't like to be valued. Even in ancient times, there was a saying that a gentleman would die for his confidant.

Although it's a bit exaggerated.

But compared to Foster, who had abandoned him several times, Wang Guo's move could be said to be much better.

After some pleasantries.

Vega came to the reception room under the guidance of Moore.

"It's better to meet in person than to hear about it. Your Excellency is indeed young and promising."

Moore sat in the main seat, with the butler and Charles Albarn standing behind him.

Vega put down his coffee and said, "I am still far behind Chief Moore. He is able to conduct intelligence work in the imperial capital without being discovered, and even let his direct descendants enter the Central Military Academy. This alone makes me admire him very much."

"Have a laugh."

Moore Alban laughed, and remained friendly and amiable. "Without the financial support of the kingdom, it would be difficult for me to gain a foothold in this empire. And, sir, although the Alban family is one of the top ten business families, in the eyes of officers above the brigade level, I am just a side job. I have no access to the real intelligence of the empire."

"Hasn't Mr. Charles Albarn entered the military academy?"

“He only entered the general department.”

Moore shook his head and said, "The truly useful intelligence is in the hands of officers above the brigade level. Although Charles is our new pilot to expand our intelligence channels, it seems to be of no use now. The Central Army will not allow a student from an ordinary department to serve as a senior officer."

He smiled bitterly for a while.

Moore Orben continued, "Moreover, in the imperial capital, merchants are never taken seriously. Their status is only slightly higher than that of ordinary citizens, and even lower than that of some nobles. Even if we have money, we can't pass it on to government and military officials. The supervision of the judicial system is really terrifying."

Vega listened quietly to Moore's complaints.

Even if he was not involved, Vega was probably aware that as a business family, it was impossible for him to obtain any important information. The intelligence system in the imperial capital was almost a decoration, and he was thankful that he was not discovered by the trial system.

"Sorry, I said something unnecessary."

Moore Albarn smiled sheepishly at Vega.

Then he put on a friendly expression again and said, "The main reason I invited you here this time is to discuss cooperation in detail. If you have any conditions, please put them forward. The United Kingdom welcomes you, Captain Vega, to join us."

Seeing that the topic had been brought to the point, Vega sat up straight.

He did not answer immediately, but thought carefully before slowly saying: "Before I put forward the conditions, I want to know what you want me to pay."

"Then let's be frank."

Moore Alban said in a straightforward tone: "We hope that Captain Vega can take control of the overall situation in Kareni on our behalf. I think this is not a difficult task for you, Captain."

Vega's heart moved.

As expected, everything turned out just as he had guessed. The Kingdom Army was afraid of Kareni's universal military strategy, so they needed him, a very prestigious person in Kareni, to control the overall situation on their behalf, so that they could occupy the entire northern part of the empire without any worries.

"So, what do I get?"

Vega's words were very straightforward. If the price offered by the other party was right, Vega thought that this job could be done, because all he had to do was to take control of the situation on behalf of the Kingdom Army after the Kingdom Army retook Kareni.

There is no need to lead the charge or put yourself in danger.

There is nothing dangerous about this matter at all.

At that time, as long as he brought up some great principles, with his influence among the people of Kareni, he wouldn't have to worry about being opposed. Looking directly at Moore Albarn, Vega waited for a reply.

Moore Alban immediately laughed and said, "Your Excellency, do not worry about our sincerity. When the kingdom captures the north of the empire, you will be canonized as the Marquis of Kalini by the kingdom, and Kalini City will also be your direct fiefdom. Except for not being allowed to have troops above the brigade level, your Excellency can establish an independent marquisate in Kalini and enjoy political and economic independence. What do you think?"

silence--

The silence lasted for three full minutes.

During this period, Vega did not say a word. He was completely stunned by the price offered by the other party.

The systems of a kingdom and an empire are different.

In the United Kingdom, the aristocracy is the one in power. Ninety percent of the current senior officers in the army are from the aristocracy, and the other ten percent, even if they are not aristocrats, are working for the nobles.

Although ordinary nobles are no longer allowed to obtain fiefs today, grand dukes and marquises are still allowed to establish independent duchies and marquises, and the price offered by the other party is the title of marquis with fiefs.

Only a fool would refuse such an offer.

After a brief moment of daze, Vega quickly agreed to the other party's conditions: "Moor Patriarch, I am very satisfied with your conditions. As long as you keep your word, I can go back to Kareni and work for you now."

"Don't be impatient."

Moore Alban chuckled, "According to the Kingdom's plan, we will launch another attack on Kalini before the Kalini Crystal Hub is repaired. We will naturally inform you at that time. In the meantime, please just wait in the military academy and don't do anything to alert the enemy."

"I understand."

Vega took a deep breath, trying to calm his restless heart, but the temptation to establish a marquisate was too great for him to remain calm. He even wished that the kingdom's army would launch an attack immediately.

Emperor.

This is everyone's dream.

Especially for Vega who traveled through time and space, this kind of temptation is even more needless to say. In three months, once he is canonized as a marquis and obtains a fiefdom, he will be the king of Kareni City.

"So nice to work with."

Moore Albarn chuckled and saluted Vega with the kingdom's military salute.

"Pleasant to work with."

The excited Vega also saluted the kingdom's military. Fortunately, this scene was not seen by the imperial officers, otherwise even if he had ten heads, they would not be enough to be chopped off.

Because of the successful cooperation.

After some polite conversation, Moore Alban asked Vega to stay for dinner, but Vega insisted on leaving. So Moore enthusiastically sent Vega to the gate of the manor and asked Charles to send Vega back to the military academy, but Vega still refused because he wanted to go to the commercial district to see the third-level shadow magic.

The commercial area is to the east of the estate.

So when Moore Albarn returned to the manor, Vega also headed towards the east of the manor.

But before he had walked 500 meters, Vega stopped.

After the excitement and excitement, he has calmed down. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has entered the sage time.

Vega, who entered the Sage Time, began to doubt whether the kingdom would really fulfill this promise.
