Mage Veigar

Chapter 54 Hospital Chat
Kareni Hospital.

This is one of the best hospitals in Kareni, but the cost of treatment is quite high. Generally, patients are nobles or wealthy families, and of course, military officers and regular soldiers.

Different from the nobles and the wealthy.

Kareni Hospital is open to regular soldiers free of charge as long as they have a certificate issued by the army.

Professional officers in particular can also enjoy the hospital's VIP wards.

The empire places military force above all else, and the training of military talent is all-round and multi-faceted.

As long as you are useful to the empire and swear allegiance to the empire, the empire will not care about your ethnicity, age, or social status, and will never be stingy with your efforts. You know, even nobles cannot enjoy the VIP ward.

Vega was taken to the Kareni Hospital due to serious injuries.

Due to multiple fractures and severe internal injuries, according to the doctor, even if a professional has amazing recovery ability, it will take about ten days to recover from the broken bones.

So, Vega was sent to the Vip ward.

The VIP ward is a double room with two beds. Vega chose the bed near the window because the bed near the door had obviously been used by someone who hadn't returned yet.

Vega leaned back on the bed and looked around.

He found that the environment inside the ward was relatively quiet. There were two pots of cactus on the windowsill, a map of the Jialan Continent hung on the wall, and special medical staff were stationed at the door to provide 24-hour service. Even the smell of disinfectant was lighter than that in the corridor.

It’s a good place to recuperate.

Vega stood up and walked towards the window. His left hand was in a cast and could not move, but his right hand had returned to normal. After all, his right hand was just weak at the time and there was nothing serious.

Look out the window.

Behind the ward is an open space with several rows of ornamental trees planted, but most of them have lost their leaves, leaving only bare branches, which looks a bit bleak.

A cold wind blew and Vega shivered.

He closed the window, and at this time the owner of the other bed had also returned.

Wearing military uniform and using a cane.

This is a middle-aged man with his right leg in a cast, apparently broken.

"Hey, kid..."

The middle-aged man made a surprised sound, and then saw the military rank and medals on Vega: "Emperor, Imperial Wings?"

He opened his mouth, then adjusted his cane, raised his right hand slightly and saluted: "Are you Lieutenant Veigar of the 7rd Regiment of the 3th Division? I am Komer, a member of the A9 Brigade Squadron of the 17th Division. It's an honor to meet you here."

Vega glanced at the other party's shoulder straps and found that it was a captain rank embroidered with a staff pattern. He quickly returned the greeting: "Vega of the 7rd Regiment of the 3th Division, I am also very happy to meet you here."

"Haha, it's just as the rumors say."

Komer sat on the bed, leaning his cane aside and said, "You became a professional with the body of a child and independently completed the first stage of the city-level mission. Your deeds have been widely circulated in the army."

"It's all thanks to the regiment's cultivation. I really don't dare to take any credit for it." Vega said modestly.

Kommer nodded in satisfaction, appreciating Vega's modest character. If an ordinary soldier had completed such a mission, he would have talked about his heroic deeds every day, but Vega modestly attributed the credit to the regiment, which was enough to win Kommer's favor.

Kommer looked at Vega carefully.

He looked at Vega's injuries and said, "What top-secret mission did your Excellency carry out this time that caused him to be so seriously injured?"

"Ashamed to say..."

Vega told the whole story.

In particular, he described the details of the battle with the mage in detail, and asked, "Looking at your shoulder badges, are you a mage in the army?"

"It's just a level 3 water mage."

Komer smiled bitterly and said, "I am only a level 3 magician at my age. I am afraid that this is the end of my career. However, Lieutenant Vega is a rare genius who has awakened his spiritual power at the age of 11. His future achievements are limitless."

"I know nothing about magicians. Please explain it in detail, Lord Comer." Vega stared at Comer with a curious look. He was eager to know more about magicians.

"Of course there is no problem."

Komer smiled and said, "As we all know, professionals are just transitional professions. The greatest wish of all professionals is to awaken their spiritual power and become magicians before the age of 20, because after the age of 20, they will no longer be able to awaken their spiritual power. Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about this. I have already felt the fluctuations of your spiritual power, but I can't tell the level of your spiritual power."

"Incidentally."

Komer continued with a smile: "The magician's attack method is to use mental power to release the magic power in the body and attack with the help of spells and staffs. Therefore, the strength of mental power is the basis for judging the level of the magician. Of course, the cultivation of magic power cannot be neglected. Otherwise, even if you have the level of a high-level magician, it is not fun to run out of magic power after casting one or two spells."

"Is it true that professionals cannot defeat mages?"

“This is not absolute.”

Komer thought for a moment and said, "High-level professionals can still defeat low-level magicians, but they will definitely not be able to kill magicians who want to escape. For example, the level 3 wind magician's flying spell, the level 3 water magician's water transformation, the level 3 earth magician's underground escape... Magicians have a variety of ways to save their lives, and they can never be easily killed by professions that can only attack at close range, unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless the mage's spiritual power is exhausted and he becomes an ordinary professional."

Kommer smiled bitterly: "So I suggest that Lieutenant Vega run away immediately or retain some mental strength when facing high-level professionals. My injuries were caused by underestimating high-level professionals. Fortunately, I recovered some mental strength in the end and escaped."

"I will definitely keep this in mind."

Vega confirmed with Komer what he had heard two days ago: "I heard that the certification of mental power level and the study of magic need to be carried out at the Professional Union and the Mage Zone. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true."

Komer replied, "The Mage Zone will determine your mage level based on your mental strength. Once you are certified as an official mage of the Imperial Military, the Professionals' Union will give you a level 1 magic for free. After you learn it, you can use it to fight. When you become a magician, you can also apply to the Brigade Headquarters to join the mage team, or continue to serve in your current unit. The Empire grants a considerable degree of freedom to powerful magicians."

"Thank you for your answer, sir." Vega saluted Kommer.

He looked at the sky and finally decided to go to the mage area tomorrow to test his mental power level and be certified as a real mage. The powerful attack power of the spells is still fresh in his memory.
