Mage Veigar

Chapter 280 The Third Divine Grace Festival
Awakening potion, intermediate magic weapon.

These are the two things that Vega urgently needs to obtain. Of course, the former is more important than the latter, because only those who have been promoted to lower-level professions need intermediate magic weapons as a medium. Now he can temporarily make do with low-level magic weapons.

Therefore, what Veigar really cares about is the awakening potion.

Being stuck at 5% of Apprentice Level 99 was like having sand stuck in his eyes. This feeling of having something stuck in his throat was almost driving Vega crazy. If he couldn't find the awakening potion, he had the urge to kill the Holy Dynasty himself.

"Feel sorry."

The voice that Vega least wanted to hear came.

The store manager looked embarrassed. "Both the mid-level magic weapons and awakening potions are in short supply. Moreover, a mid-level magic weapon and a bottle of awakening potion were just traded in the free trade zone two months ago. I'm afraid such treasures won't appear again in the short term."

"It's like this again."

"Why can't I just go out and pick up a divine weapon that costs 999 for one strike!"

Veigar said in a rather depressed tone, “Mr. Store Manager, please help me keep an eye out for information on rune pages, intermediate magic weapons, and awakening potions. Once you have any information, notify me as soon as possible. If it is too late, you can purchase them in advance at any cost.”

"Yes, my lord."

The store manager patted his chest and said, "I will definitely keep your instructions in mind and send someone to keep an eye on the free trade zone. Once there is any relevant information, I will notify you as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work. Goodbye."

Veigar walked out of the item store with the rune page, turned to his adjutant Iroh and said, "Don't rush back. Let's try our luck in the free trade zone. I have something else I want to buy."

"Yes, General."

The guards followed behind Vega, and with Vega's rank of brigadier general, as soon as he entered the free trade zone, everyone in the entire trading area, regardless of gender or age, saluted him. Some soldiers and officers immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Why would the general come to a place like this? It can't be fake."

"Don't joke around, be careful the guards hear you, but this general is really small."

"You're surprised by what you see. This is a senior officer at the division level who was just transferred from the imperial capital."

"..."

People nearby started talking about it. Perhaps civilians only knew that a general was a high-ranking military officer, but professionals and magicians understood the power of a powerful general. Such an existence was many levels higher than professionals and magicians.

Such an entity standing at the top of the pyramid generally does not appear in a free trade zone.

Because if something is needed, he can just ask his subordinates to come and buy it. It’s just that Vega’s personal mentality has not yet changed from a middle-level officer. Otherwise, if he just says a word, there are countless people willing to serve him.

"How many gold coins are there for this intermediate combat skill?"

Veigar picked up a mid-level skill with the words "Hardened Skin". Next to it were a series of mid-level skills such as "Absolute Focus", "Dynamic Vision", "Potential Burst" and so on. Each skill was a powerful buff.

However, these buffs are all applied to themselves.

Veigar didn't buy all of them. The first reason was that he didn't have so many skill points to learn, and the second was that even if he learned so many combat skills, he didn't have so much mana to release them. Now, just stacking a few shadow spells was enough for Veigar to handle.

Therefore, Veigar only chose this hardened skin.

He has the buff "Power of Behemoth" that increases his attack power, and the buff "Hurricane Speed" that increases his speed, but he does not have a mid-level defensive skill. This skill can obviously make up for this shortcoming.

As long as you learn this fighting skill.

Then, in addition to magic defense, wizard shield and shadow, he added a new layer of protection, and his "turtle shell plan" finally took shape. He patted the table.

Seeing the young man in front of him was stunned, Vega repeated, "Big brother, how much gold coins does this cost?"

"Hey, General, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The young professional bowed repeatedly to apologize: "This is the first time I have seen a big shot like you up close, and my brain has short-circuited a bit. Please forgive me. If you don't mind, you can take any of these rune pages you like. They are all cheap anyway."

Vega also knew the awkward situation of mid-level combat skills.

So he took out a gold coin to buy this "hardened skin", but he did not touch the other intermediate combat skills.

Because he already knew that mid-level combat skill rune pages were everywhere and he could buy a bundle whenever he wanted. There was really no need to carry a stack with him to get in the way, and without skill points everything was in vain.

Purchase the rune page.

On the way back, Vega couldn't help but set his sights on the bandit's nest again, because in order to learn the intermediate combat skills "Hardened Skin" and "Shadow Style: Shadow Explosion", a total of 4 skill points were required, and he only had 3 now.

So he returned to the base.

Vega immediately applied to the commander-in-chief to clear out the bandit nest on the national highway between Elkia and Shelantu City. Unfortunately, he was directly rejected by Hausman on the grounds that the military expenses must be borne by the commander-in-chief and no more than one regiment of troops must be lost. Hausman obviously did not want to waste manpower and resources on such a thankless task as bandit suppression.

Without military spending, war obviously cannot be fought.

Without war, Veigar's magician level and skill points stagnated. So until the Empire's Divine Grace Festival arrived, Veigar only learned one intermediate combat skill "Hardened Skin" and had no skill points to learn Shadow Explosion.

For more than three months, Vega has become a stay-at-home guy.

There is nothing to do in daily work except eating, sleeping, meetings, meetings, meetings, meetings... But Vega doesn't hate this comfortable life. He is even a little intoxicated by it.

"This is the third Divine Grace Festival."

Veigar looked at the falling snow and muttered to himself: "I remember that on the first Grace Day, I could only squat on the cold street, looking through the window at other people's happy smiles. What was I doing on the second Grace Day..."

A snowflake fell on his lips.

The snowflakes melted in an instant, and the coldness penetrated his heart and lungs. Vega muttered to himself in a tone of sudden enlightenment: "Ah, um, I remember it. It seems that Kareni fell at this time last year. Is it true that there are always unfortunate things happening on the Day of Grace, or is my own bad luck enough to overturn the good luck of the whole world?"

The cold wind blew, and Vega tightened his collar.

He walked towards the villa under the escort of the guards: "Fortunately, it seems that I am lucky this year. This third God's Grace Festival is finally safe and sound. Thank you for your hard work..."

A confused voice echoed.

Vega sat in a rocking chair in front of the fire, wrapped in a warm blanket, listening to the crackling of the flames. He closed his sleepy eyes and enjoyed the comfortable and peaceful Grace Festival.

But this state did not last for half an hour before the sound of footsteps was heard.

Da da da--

Following the hurried footsteps came the anxious voice of Adjutant Yi Luo: "General, General, wake up quickly. The commander-in-chief has called an emergency meeting of the military. Please rush to the meeting room as soon as you receive the news."

With a click, Vega felt a chill in his heart.
