Mage Veigar

Chapter 216: Clues to Advancement
It's 1 o'clock in the morning.

In the Alban family's guest room, Vega did not fall asleep.

Although the lights in the room were turned off, he stared with his bright eyes, paying close attention to any movement outside the door, because he found that Moore Albarn did not seem to completely trust him and actually sent two wizards to guard the door.

If it was just an ordinary magician, Vega wouldn't be afraid of him.

However, among these two magicians, one is the Word Mage that Vega fears the most. Although it is easy to kill this Word Mage, it is extremely difficult to defeat an Elemental Mage.

After all, this is a branch of an intelligence organization.

Vega didn't know how many magicians there were in the manor, and with the name of the Alban business family to hide his true identity, placing a dozen magicians casually would not arouse the suspicion of the empire.

The only thing to be thankful for is.

Moore didn't see through his psychology, probably just out of caution.

He must not lose his composure at this moment. If he acts without authorization, Moore might regard him as a traitor.

But this is not a solution.

He certainly couldn't follow the magic airship back to the north of the empire in three days. If he was discovered by the empire, he would be convicted of treason, a crime that could never be washed away.

The lesser of two evils.

After weighing the pros and cons, Vega finally decided to break out of Alban Manor and immediately lead his men to surround the place and then torture them to find out the specific time of the attack.

Carry the dagger on your back.

Vega turned on the magic lamp and then deliberately made a lot of noise to open the door.

Because for some Word Spirit Wizards, turning on the lights and walking out openly at this time can make the other party relax their vigilance much more easily than launching a trick. After all, he is now a "friendly army" full of sincerity.

"Sir, what can I do?"

The Elemental Mage walked in front, and the Word Mage walked behind. When they heard the noise, they immediately stood up from their chairs, walked up to Vega and asked in a friendly manner.

"I just couldn't sleep and wanted to go out for a walk."

Vega smiled at the two of them, the dagger behind his back already locked onto the Word Mage's throat.

Veigar's goal is to kill the Word Mage first.

Although the Word Spirit Mage is powerless, he should kill the Elemental Mage first. If an accident occurs and the other party escapes, all the previous efforts will be wasted. As long as the Word Spirit Mage is dead, the mere Elemental Mage will not be able to touch even the corner of his clothes.

The only difficulty is that the Word Spirit Mage is hiding behind the Elemental Mage.

Vega's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

He no longer waited for the other party to approach, but bypassed the Elemental Mage and went straight towards the Word Mage.

Because of his normal pace, he did not arouse the suspicion of the two people. However, when he passed the elemental mage, the elemental mage saw the dagger behind Veigar's back and immediately exclaimed: "Be careful!"
It was too late to exclaim.

As the words fell, the head of the Word Spirit Mage fell. He never thought until his death that there was a traitor among them.

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

Several fireballs from the elemental mage instantly attacked Veigar, but the mage's shield alone was of course not enough to block the elemental mage's attack, and dodging was impossible because the fireballs were too fast.

But Veigar did not retreat but advanced, seemingly not taking the opponent's attack seriously. This scene made the elemental mage laugh out loud in disdain. In his opinion, this was simply suicide, but a second later, the smile that had just bloomed on his face froze again -

"Trickery Style: Shadow Transformation!"

When this rare passive magic was activated, Vega's body instantly became ethereal, like a shadow that ignored collisions and penetrated the fireball, and instantly came in front of the elemental mage, and he raised his hand and slashed with his sword.

boom!
The dagger hit the wizard's shield.

Although the Shadow Mage's attack is only at the professional level, and even the Mage Shield can easily block it, you should never underestimate the four words "Shadow Mage".

The shadow technique is activated instantly.

A pitch-black dagger had penetrated the chest of the Elemental Mage from behind without anyone noticing. Without the all-around vision of the Word Mage, the Elemental Mage was a sitting duck in the eyes of the Shadow Mage.

After killing the two low-level mages, two streams of heat surged. Together with the previous two skill points, Veigar's skill points increased to 4 in total.

4 skill points means you can have 4 spells as long as you have enough money!
There was no time to be happy. Vega immediately walked to the right side of the passage. This was the route he had specially memorized when he came here.

In fact, killing the two magicians did not alert other people for the time being. Vega originally planned to destroy the bodies to delay some time, but the bodies could be hidden in the room, but the traces of the fight were difficult to erase, so he simply did not waste time and planned to evacuate directly.

Everything is going smooth.

He activated his trickery and fled out of the manor like an invisible ghost, ignoring the patrolling guards.

To leave the manor from the guest room, you need to pass through the study.

It was when passing by the study that the stealthy Vega saw two people - Charles Alban and Moore Alban.

Vega couldn't help but pause, and he heard a few words of conversation between the two.

"What is the effect of the awakening potion?"

Moore sat behind the desk and said to Charles with half-closed eyes.

Upon hearing his father's question, Charles immediately bowed and said, "I took the awakening potion yesterday, and it only took me a few hours to break through the bottleneck of a Level 5 apprentice professional and reach the realm of a lower-level professional, and I didn't feel any side effects."

"It is indeed an ancient magic potion."

Moore sighed and said, "The magic civilization today is indeed worlds apart from that of the ancient times. It's just a small bottle of leftover potion that can help you break through the bottleneck that has been holding you back for seven years. It's worth the huge price I spent to get it back."

"Thank you, father."

Moore waved his hand and said, "You are my only son, and you will inherit the entire business family and intelligence organization in the future. Although you cannot become a magician, as a lower-level professional, you at least have the ability to protect yourself in the imperial capital."

Ancient awakening potion?

After hearing the conversation, Vega could no longer move.

He was currently worried about not being able to be promoted to a lower-level professional. Suddenly, he heard that Charles had been promoted from a level 7 trainee professional who had been stuck for 5 years to a lower-level professional. How could he not be excited?

Although his upgrade mechanism is different from that of ordinary professionals.

But he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Vega is willing to try. The intermediate combat skills that can only be learned by lower-level professionals are always tempting him.
