Mage Veigar

Chapter 248 Escape from the secret room!

Awakening potion!

It's actually an awakening potion?
A palm-sized bottle of light blue medicine was quietly placed on the dark red satin that was covered with several layers of silk.

The light blue potion was contained in a simple and gorgeous crystal bottle, which emitted charming light under the magic lamp. The four words "Awakening Potion" carved on the bottle with unknown technique were so lifelike that one could not take their eyes away.

Vega picked it up carefully.

Although judging from the words on the bottle alone, this is an awakening potion, it seems unnecessary for Layton to go to the trouble of building a secret room to store a bottle of fake stuff.

So it's entirely possible to guess.

This bottle of awakening potion is probably the one sold in the free trade zone on the second floor of the union 3 or 4 years ago. However, due to the reason that the man is innocent but the treasure is in his possession, the Rodney family has not dared to make it public. In addition, the direct lineage is not very promising and there is not even a professional, so it has been kept here.

I'm afraid Layton didn't expect that his level of hiding potions was really third-rate.

In the end, this bottle of potion could not be passed on to future generations, but instead was given to Vega, the enemy who wiped out the entire family.

After carefully hiding the potion, Vega did not use it immediately. Although he could speculate whether the potion was genuine, Vega, who valued his life very much, did not dare to take the risk. He had to go back to get a drop and find a "guinea pig" to test the water. It would not be too late to take it after confirming that it was non-toxic and had no side effects.

After taking the awakening potion, Vega turned around and wanted to go back to the ground to find the secret passage again.

But just as he reached the closed exit, he faintly heard footsteps and the noise of rummaging through boxes.

With a thump in his heart, Vega realized that something bad had happened.

If we rush out now, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?
If he doesn't go out, with the professional capabilities of the law enforcement team, it is only a matter of time before he is discovered here. By then, he will be trapped in a jar and will have no choice but to surrender.

If we advance now, we will be walking into a trap; if we retreat, we will be trapped in a jar. Is this the only way we can stop?

Vega was unwilling to accept this. Although his life would be safe if he was caught, his evaluation would drop, and the failure of the community of interests plan would be inevitable. It would even affect the implementation of the general plan. The loss would be huge.

There must be some other way.

Vega paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously, thinking of a solution.

But the more anxious he was, the more confused he became, and the sound of a few conversations outside completely panicked Vega.

"There's something wrong with this vase."

"It's just an antique vase, what's wrong with it?"

"Hehe, we are going to get rich. Based on my many years of experience in investigating cases, this is definitely the activation mechanism of the secret room."

"Is that so? I'm here to help you."

The conversation outside the house was clearly audible, and Vega quickly rushed around the corner and returned to the secret room.

boom!
As soon as he returned to the secret room, Vega heard the sound of the door hitting, followed by crisp footsteps and conversations.

"You Word Spirit Mage are so sharp that you can even find the secret room."

"We specialize in our own skills. We don't have powerful magic like you elemental mages."

"How about we switch?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'll lead the way and see if there's any mechanism."

"Do you think the fugitive who wiped out the whole family might be hiding here?"

"Absolutely impossible. How can a mere shadow mage expect to discover such a secret mechanism?"

"Just in case, I'd better prepare magic to protect your safety at any time." Vega, who was about to cast a trick to fool people, canceled the magic. He didn't expect that the god of luck would really go against him. The only word spirit mage in the entire law enforcement team actually broke into the secret room, and he was followed by an elemental mage.

Even if this combination is standard, his luck is too bad.

But at this critical moment, Vega calmed down. He was indeed the kind of person who would become calmer in critical moments. When a person calms down, his facial features will become sensitive and his brain will become clear.

Vega squinted his eyes and looked around the secret room, finally returning his gaze to the half-man-high box.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the game he had played to death in his previous life because of boredom - Escape Room.

Once he thought of this game, Vega would unconsciously put himself into his current situation, and his eyes would never leave the half-man-high box.

"After all, I am also a hardcore escape room player."

Vega snorted conceitedly and said, "Using a box half the height of a person to store a bottle of medicine the size of a palm? Isn't this an insult to my intelligence?"

Compared to the previous life's "Escape Room" game, which had puzzle clues that were so complicated that they made people doubt their lives, this escape room can only be considered entry-level... No, in Vega's opinion, calling this place entry-level is simply an insult to the word "entry-level".

As a hardcore player, if you can't even find this clue, you might as well commit suicide immediately.

Veigar tried to push the box open, but he found that he couldn't move it.

But this situation made him breathe a sigh of relief, so he opened the box without hesitation and threw out a stack of dark red satin until the wood at the bottom of the box could be completely seen.

dong dong dong-

Vega tapped the bottom of the box gently, and sure enough, a hollow sound was heard.

"right here."

Vega clenched his fist and smashed it towards the bottom, and a passage appeared in front of Vega.

"what sound!"

Because they were afraid of the trap, the two members of the law enforcement team who were moving forward at a snail's pace suddenly changed their color. They rushed into the secret room without caring about whether there was a trap or not. However, they only saw the empty secret room and... a hole at the bottom of the box.

Tens of minutes later.

When Vega crawled out of the secret passage, he found that he was several hundred meters away from the manor. He had successfully escaped the encirclement of the law enforcement team.

After escaping from the danger, Vega just wanted to laugh out loud to vent his feelings. He never thought that one day he would be saved by the game he had played. It turned out that art was derived from reality.

However, Vega did not delay for too long. He only paused for a few seconds and then left.

When the sun was about to rise, Vega had already changed into his military uniform and returned to the military academy dormitory.

creak-

After opening the door, Vega glanced guiltily at the still sleeping Silis, and decided in his heart that he would compensate her a little when he had the chance in the future. Although he had to do so with Silis's consent, after all, he had wiped out her entire family.

After hanging his coat on the hanger, Vega carefully took out the awakening potion.

This trip can be said to be very fruitful. Not only did he wipe out Rodney's family and complete the premise of the "community of interests" plan, but he also got the awakening potion he had always dreamed of.

Hold the awakening potion in the palm of your hand.

Vega looked at the crystal bottle over and over again. Can this palm-sized bottle of potion really help him advance to a lower-level professional?
