Mage Veigar

Chapter 278 Helpless
The secret room was soon discovered.

Dandeli was also "rescued" immediately.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Vega finally met the No. 2 figure in this unit, who was also the suspected mastermind behind the scenes.

"Colonel Dandrey, are you all right?"

Veigar put on a warm smile and walked in three steps to Dandari.

Dandari also put on a warm smile and said, "I guess you must be Brigadier General Vega, the new commander of our brigade. I am very sorry that you have to see me in such a state of disgrace. I have failed the commander-in-chief's expectations."

“Excuse me, what exactly happened?” Vega asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Dendeli was obviously prepared for the answer: "To be honest, about a month ago, I led a team of shadow mages and a squadron of professionals to implement a decapitation tactic to deter these increasingly rampant bandits. However, when the operation began, the shadow mage team and the professional squadron actually betrayed the empire and held me captive until now."

"So, you were imprisoned for nearly a month?"

"Alas, it is indeed my fault that I did not do my job well. I will personally apologize to the commander when I return."

Dandeli said with a look of regret, "I just didn't expect that the bandits actually bribed our army. The brigade commander must have been able to get here because he destroyed the bandit's nest. May I ask if they captured the shadow mage squadron and the professional squadron? I must ask these traitors of the empire what kind of magic potion the bandits fed them to make them do such a thing."

"They are all dead." Vega said with a wry smile.

Dandeli immediately put on an exaggerated expression: "What? He's dead! Have you caught the bandit leader?"

"Deputy Brigade Commander, the bandit leader is also dead." A regiment commander stepped forward and said.

Vega glanced at the captain, as if he wanted to memorize his face, and then said sarcastically: "It seems that you are really lucky, Colonel Dandelli. You have been captured by the bandits for more than 10 days, but you have not been tortured."

“That’s exactly what I find strange.”

Dandari kept pushing the issue onto the bandits no matter how Vega tried to get the question out of him, acting like a single man who was not afraid of anything. This left Vega helpless.

But by now, Vega has also confirmed that this Dandeli is no pushover.

His excuse was obviously full of loopholes, because how could the Professional Squadron and the Mage Team, imperial soldiers with status and salary, be bribed by bandits for a small amount of money?

And Dandelli's acting is so amateurish.

At least Vega would bear the pain and stab himself when the thief cried "stop thief", but this Dendeli did nothing. Was he afraid that he wouldn't be able to figure out who the real murderer was?

Therefore, there is only one truth.

That is, Dandali was the mastermind behind the assassination and also the commander-in-chief of this bandit nest. When he knew that he was powerless to save the situation, he resolutely chose to escape and brutally killed the shadow mage team, leaving no evidence.

Plus, Dandari never revealed his face.

Therefore, even if they asked the gang members to identify the person, they certainly would not recognize that Dandelli was their leader. As for the secret room, the ordinary gang members did not know about it at all. Therefore, there was no direct evidence to prove Dandelli's guilt.

And without evidence, it means that Vega has no way to deal with him.

A sense of powerlessness arose.

Veigar didn't expect that after planning for so long, he would end up being forced to sacrifice his rook to save his king. Although Dandel sacrificed some strength, he saved himself, which was exactly what Veigar didn't want to see the most.

————After cleaning up the battlefield.

Vega led his troops back to the temporary base. The next day, he assembled his troops and began to march back to the city.

Dandali naturally returned unharmed with Vega's large army. What awaited him was not a trial by a military court, but a minor punishment from the commander. Vega even had to continue working with him.

But it cannot be said that it was completely in vain.

At least Vega learned through this opportunity who the real mastermind is, and the mastermind has stepped out from behind the scenes to the front. Is he still afraid that there will be no chance to deal with him?
"We have a long way to go in this big game, so let's play it slowly."

Vega glanced at Dandari who was following behind him, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, but this hidden murderous intent was not noticed by anyone.

In addition to this gain, there is another more important gain.

After killing a squadron of professionals on the civilian airship, plus the professionals killed by his subordinates in this war, his magician level, which had been silent for a long time, was finally promoted.

Level 4 magician, this is his current level.

The improvement of the magician's level means that he can learn more advanced magic. At the same time, the increase in the upper limit of mental power means that the strength of each magic is greatly improved.

Money to buy magic?
There is no need to worry about this. Although the Rodney Chamber of Commerce does not have a commercial layout in ordinary cities, there is a prop branch of the Rodney Chamber of Commerce in every major city, and the Professional Guild of Elkia is naturally no exception.

Do I need money to take my own things?

It can be said that after acquiring the Rodney Chamber of Commerce, Vega no longer needs to worry about money. He only needs to order the Chamber of Commerce to concentrate on purchasing magic rune pages.

Of course the money problem is solved, but there is another problem.

That is the problem of skill points. Although the scale of this war is quite large, there are not many magicians who actually participate in the war. In addition to the huge "brokerage fee" charged by the system, 10 shadow mages were drugged to death by Dendali. Those are all living skill points.

"3 skill points are indeed a bit too few."

"Magic and intermediate combat skills are all big spenders on skill points."

Looking at the only three skill points he had, Vega even began to think about asking the commander to raid all the bandit nests on the Elkia-Shelantu National Highway one by one. This way, he might be able to save up more than 3 skill points.

Based on a character that is extremely afraid of death.

Veigar's biggest dream is to learn all the professional combat skills and shadow mage magic, so that he can apply hundreds of layers of buffs on himself before a fight. After applying these buffs, he can use all kinds of strange magic of the shadow mage to kill the enemy.

"Let's go back to Elkia and visit the guild first."

With money, skill points, and a higher level, Veigar can hardly suppress his fear of death...emm, and his determination to become stronger.

When he was about to return to the capital, he would immediately go to Rodney's Item Shop in the union to learn any magic or combat skills he could. At the same time, he could also inquire about the news of awakening potions.

If you don't get promoted to a lower-level professional, even if you have learned a hundred or eighty combat skills and magic spells, you won't have the magic power to release them. The professional system is closely linked and none of them can be missing.

Fortunately, this is the city of Elkia.

As the city closest to the Holy Dynasty, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain the awakening potion.
