Mage Veigar

Chapter 245 Community of Interests

Vega named this idea the Community of Interests Project.

The entire review team consisted of 20 generals, including the team leader, but only 10 of them extended an olive branch to Vega.

Five of these ten generals are senior military officials who have served in the imperial capital for a long time, including the core decision-makers of the central army.

The other five came from several army groups in the west and south.

They just went to the imperial capital to observe and recruit outstanding officers for the implementation of the general plan. These generals are usually the third or fourth figures in the army group. They may not be noticeable in the review group, but they are still important officials in the local area.

Therefore, Vega plans to give 5% of the shares to each person and pull the 10 generals who have recruited him onto his chariot. As for those who have not invited him to recruit, Vega does not intend to send "gifts" rashly because the possibility of being rejected is very high.

Not to mention 5% of the shares.

Even if the entire Rodney family is offered, these people at the top of the pyramid will not take it seriously at all. They may even think that having a chamber of commerce is extremely troublesome. It would be better to wrestle with the government system and ask for more military funds.

Ideas are beautiful.

But now there is still a most important premise before Vega, that is, he has not yet taken down the Rodney family.

In order to establish such a community of interests, Vega could not wait until the next day.

That night he waited for Celis to fall asleep. At about 1 a.m., he carefully got up from the bed, put on the night clothes he had prepared in advance, then took a look at Celis's sleeping face and finally said "sorry".

creak-

When the door was closed, the moonlight just happened to shine onto the bed through the curtains lifted by the breeze.

If you look carefully, you can see that Celis' eyes are filled with crystal tears, but she didn't say a word.

Vega was familiar with Rodney Manor because he had been there many times.

About an hour or two later, Vega was already standing at the gate of Rodney Manor. In the dark, he could already see several guards dozing off, as well as a patrol team led by a professional in the manor.

Night is the natural veil of the Shadow Mage.

Veigar activated the Trickery and walked towards the gate like a ghost. When the Trickery was activated, even the elemental mages' mental power could not detect Veigar's whereabouts, unless it was the natural enemy of the Shadow Mage - the Word Mage.

But will there be a Word Spirit Mage in the Chamber of Commerce?
The Rodney family does not have the support of a giant like the United Kingdom, so it is naturally impossible for them to have two Word Spirit Mages like the Alban family. In the empire, Word Spirit Mages almost all serve the military.

Plus the information obtained from Silis.

Vega learned that the Rodney Chamber of Commerce had recruited about five magicians. Even if the butler Fock, who had been loyal to the Rodney family for generations, was included, there were only six elemental mages, which posed no threat to Vega at all.

Arrived at the gate.

Veigar stood in front of the two guards. These two guards were just ordinary people. Of course, it was impossible for them to detect the trickery that even elemental mages could not detect. Therefore, their heads fell to the ground a second later.

I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

In order to get this matter done once and for all, Vega came this time to exterminate the clan instead of assassinate them.

Although it sounds a bit bloody, but——

Be it guards or servants, old people or children, tonight the entire Rodney family will cease to exist except for Celis.

Why do we have to kill them all? Wouldn’t it be better to just kill the direct descendants?
Because Vega didn't want to leave any handle that could be used to make a fuss, being too lenient towards some servants and guards would likely put himself in a passive situation in the end, which was a mistake Vega absolutely did not want to make.

I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me.

Vega, who had understood this sentence a year ago, officially stepped into the gate of the manor.

3.18am, the best time for a night attack.

Vega licked his scarlet lips, flipped the dagger in his hand, and launched an attack towards the patrol team 20 meters ahead.

The patrol team consists of 10 people, 9 ordinary guards and 1 professional.

Veigar was not an elemental mage after all, so he could not use powerful magic to kill 10 people at once, so killing this team would inevitably cause some noise. "Assassin! There's an assassin!"

Seeing two or three of his men die inexplicably, the professional captain immediately discovered that something was wrong, so he sent warning fireworks into the sky, but after releasing the eye signal, the entire patrol team was wiped out.

Vega took a deep breath after removing his trickery style, and said with regret: "Killing professionals can really boost people's spirits. It's a pity that killing ordinary people can't gain magic power, and even the throbbing in my heart has completely disappeared."

As Vega sighed, the dim manor lit up.

Team after team of guards came out from several houses and formed a defense around the house where Layton lived. Layton Rodney, the current patriarch of the Rodney family and Celis's father, was certainly not a timid man. He walked out under the protection of the crowd.

"Which friend is visiting late at night? Please show up and see me."

As a businessman, Layton did not get angry at the first time, but said in a friendly and profitable manner: "If I, Layton, have offended you unintentionally, I would like to apologize to you first, and please allow me to compensate you. If you are just entrusted by others, then I am willing to pay double the price. What do you think?"

slam-la-

The strong wind blew the trees, but Veigar, who was using the trick, did not make a sound, nor did he show up.

At this time, the magician next to Layton whispered to him, "Chief, we didn't find any traces. The person who came is very likely a shadow mage. If we can't force him to show up, we may not be his opponent."

Drops of cold sweat rolled down Layton's forehead.

If it was an ordinary elemental mage or professional, he would still be able to deal with it, but he really had no way to deal with the shadow mage. This was why Layton was panicking.

"Are you telling the truth?"

But after hearing a hoarse voice, Leighton was delighted. Did the other party take the bait?
"My Rodney family is based on integrity, so please trust my sincerity."

Layton immediately responded: "Please show yourself, Your Excellency. I will treat you as an honored guest."

A small dark figure in night clothes appeared in front of the magic light of the fountain.

Seeing the height of the black shadow, Layton always had a familiar feeling, but he didn't think too much, but waved his hand with a ferocious expression: "Hahaha, stupid! You actually dared to believe the words of a businessman, kill him for me."

The magic is roaring.

Fire magic, wind magic, and earth magic instantly hit Vega, and Vega's body was shattered into pieces.

"Damn it, it's a mirror image!"

One of the magicians roared, and just as he turned his head, he found that the black shadow was standing behind Layton with a dagger raised high.

"I'm sorry, but I never believe what merchants say, and—"

The hoarse voice made Layton's mind go blank: "Double the price, I'm afraid you can't afford it."

Knife up and down.

The dagger was about to fall on Layton's neck, but at this moment, Vega felt a strong wind coming from behind him. He didn't expect that someone would dare to use the life of Layton, the tribe leader, as bait. It was like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

However, the opponent did not use magic, but close combat.

It should be known that close combat usually makes it difficult to break through a magician's shield with one strike, and an elemental mage cannot be unaware of this, which means that this oriole is undoubtedly a professional.

"Humph, just a professional."

Veigar instantly raised the Mage Shield to defend against attacks from behind, while the dagger in his hand continued to move forward.

But at this moment, a voice that Vega did not expect came.

click-

This is the sound of the mage's shield breaking.

As the voice fell, a fist pierced his abdomen, and Vega turned his head in disbelief.
