Mage Veigar

Chapter 456 Warning Line

Celis Rodney.

Although she is a civilian, she is on the list of traitors in the trial system.

In fact, her ranking is above Vega, topping the list.

What does this mean?
This directly shows that, as a civilian, Qi Lisi committed a crime that five full-division-level officers could not afford. Even someone as knowledgeable as Old Scimitar had to sigh that this might be a kind of talent.

That's why.

The first time he saw Silis beside Vega, he noticed her presence, otherwise he would not have taken ordinary traitors seriously.

Although the task of judging Silis was not his.

But he didn't mind getting rid of Qilisi at the same time. After all, Qilisi was directly related to his mission, and he still had the right to attack Qilisi at the same time.

And there are various signs.

His prey seemed to value Qilis very much. In just the past few days, the number of guards had increased from twice to five times. Just today, a team of mages was added, and the number of guards had reached three layers inside and three layers outside.

In other words.

As long as he could kill Silis, not only could he complete another mission directly, but he could also have various effects on Vega to a certain extent, causing Vega to eventually expose the flaws he wanted to see.

After finalizing the whole plan, Old Scimitar felt relieved.

He took a sip of the liquor, then pulled the blanket, found a comfortable position on the rocking chair and fell asleep.

time flies.

In the next three days, Old Scimitar still did not take direct action, let alone attack Silis. He continued to harass Vega as usual, shooting two cold arrows at him today, poisoning him, and burning his house the day after tomorrow. He was having a lot of fun.

And where is Vega at this time?
I don’t know if the time traveler’s heart is naturally stronger, or if he is superstitious and believes that his own strength is enough to handle everything, but he has actually adapted to a life that seems difficult to ordinary people, and is even looking forward to what new assassination methods will come up tomorrow.

There were a few times.

Before the opponent's assassination attempt was carried out, Vega guessed the opponent's plan in advance and took countermeasures in advance, and almost caught the person red-handed.

I guess no one would believe it if I told them.

Vega has now regarded these assassination projects as an after-dinner entertainment program, which reminded him of the feeling of playing hide-and-seek in his childhood. His originally irritable mood gradually became calm.

However, this does not mean that Vega has really let down his guard.

Although it was fun, he also knew that he was playing with fire, and if he was not careful he might get burned to ashes.

So after thinking for a long time, he also came up with a countermeasure.

This countermeasure is simple to say, it is nothing more than "luring the snake out of its hole" or "throwing a brick to attract jade".

Because the enemy is in the dark and Vega is in the light, if you want to catch this enemy, you must lure him out and make him reveal his whereabouts.

To lure a snake out of its hole, one must pay attention to the word "lure".

If you want to lure a venomous snake to appear, you need to do something with the bait.

As long as the bait is tempting enough, the enemy will be unable to resist and will take action on his own.

So who is this bait?

Although it was somewhat unethical to send his men out as bait, there was no doubt that it was Celis Rodney.

Vega did not inform Silis about this matter, but officially started to implement it a few days ago.

First of all, Vega himself performed invincibly in front of this assassin. At the same time, instead of adding guards to himself, he withdrew his guards, and arrogantly let the assassin know how confident he was in his own strength.

at the same time.

Vega began to strengthen the protection of Silis.

From doubling the guard force at the beginning to increasing it fivefold now, all of this was done for the venomous snake to see. Vega was also indirectly telling the other party how important Silis was to him.

Some people might wonder, if the enemy didn't target him, a person without any defense, would they go to the tiger mountain knowing there are tigers everywhere and specifically target Silis, who is well protected?

This requires the extent to which Vega controls people's hearts.

In his opinion, the more confident a person is, the less he will take those guards seriously. His actions will only make the enemy think that Silis is really important. As long as Silis is killed, it will have a direct impact on Vega himself.

therefore.

As long as we keep watching over Qilis, we will be able to expose the mastermind behind this.

In order to catch the man behind this, Vega has been keeping close to Silis, both openly and covertly.

During the day, Vega would let Silis stay by his side and work with him. At night, when he was resting, Vega would use trickery to sneak near Silis's room and guard her until dawn. This situation has lasted for 3 days.

But what is regrettable is that.

During these three days and three nights, the enemy still did not take any action.

The opponent was like a very experienced hunter and was not fooled by Vega's trap at all.

This also made Vega gradually begin to doubt whether the strategy he had set had become ineffective.

However, until there was a better way, Vega decided to keep going. Maybe the enemy was waiting for the moment when he lost his vigilance and suddenly launched a fatal attack on him.

This persistence lasted for a week.

On the seventh night, Vega returned to his room first, and then let his substitute sleep on his bed. He used trickery as usual to sneak into a dark corner near Silis's room, and then used magic to isolate himself from the smell and fell into a light sleep.

tear it up-

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the thin wire tied to Vega's little finger and across the aisle was broken by something. Vega opened his eyes immediately and realized that someone had sneaked in.

This filament is a magical item used for warning.

Its greatest advantage is that it is countless times thinner than a hair. Not only is it difficult to see with the naked eye, but it is also impossible to detect with mental power. Many shadow mages who are confident that their mental power can detect everything will easily ignore this thin thread.

Plus, it’s pitch dark now.

If one end of this thin thread was not tied to Vega's little finger, even Vega himself would not be able to detect its existence, let alone an assassin who sneaked in here with ill intentions?

At the moment the filament broke, Vega turned on the magic light in the corridor.

At the same time, both sides of the corridor were tightly surrounded by guards, and the door of the room where Silis was was directly blocked by a wall of people.

But what is surprising is.

In the spacious corridor that was illuminated by the magic lamp as bright as day, there were no strangers except the guards.

Veigar did not show any surprise. He just sneered and said, "Okay, Mr. Assassin, stop struggling in vain. Remove the trickery and show your true form as soon as possible. I still have some questions that need your answers."

Tick ​​tick tick——

Time passed, and no one responded to Vega's words.

The assassin didn't seem to have any intention of revealing his true identity.

Upon seeing this, Veigar smiled sarcastically: "It seems that our assassin friend is not cooperating. Word Spirit Mage, I will leave it to you from now on."

"Yes, Commander."

Three Word Spirit Mages stood up, but a minute later they did not report the assassin's coordinates. Instead, they said with sweat on their foreheads: "Report to the Commander, here... here... there is no trace of the assassin."

"what?"

Vega looked at his little finger in disbelief. Since there was no assassin, then who broke the cordon tied to his little finger?

I went to the dentistry for root canal treatment in the evening. Even with anesthesia, the pain was still so severe that I doubted my life. So, I, the author, am in so much pain that I am like a dead fish. I only wrote one chapter today. Sorry.
