Mage Veigar

Chapter 706 Between the palms of hands
The next night.

The banquet was held as scheduled under the chairmanship of Vega.

He stood in the center of the hall and said loudly: "Thank you all for taking the time to accept my invitation and attend this banquet. Next, please allow me to introduce my good friend and our most respected opponent, Palitzer Gunnell."

clap clap-

There was warm applause in the banquet hall.

Most people did not become alert because of the word "opponent", nor did they raise any questions. They seemed to know everything about Vega taking Palitzer to watch the Dunbu River for four days.

"Mr. Palitzer, please come forward and say hello."

At Vega's smiling gesture, Palitzer said to everyone in a humiliating manner: "I am Palitzer Gunil, and I would like to thank General Vega for his hard work and everyone for coming here."

Applause broke out again at the banquet.

For Palitzer, this was truly humiliating.

Because he and Vega are enemies, and now he is trapped in the enemy camp, fighting with the enemy. If this matter gets to the ears of Augustus and the Holy Dragon King, even if he can explain it clearly, I am afraid their impression of him will be greatly reduced.

"Cough cough."

Veigar coughed twice and continued, "Tomorrow, Commander Palitzer will return to Tully City. Two days later, we will officially fight him. But tonight we are still friends. When treating friends, we should serve the best wine! Tonight we will not talk about military affairs, but only about romance. I declare the banquet open."

slam-la-

With everyone's approval, the banquet officially began.

Half of the senior officers stayed at their posts, while the other half put aside their trivial matters and drank happily here.

"Captain Palitzer, we have heard of your bravery. I offer you a toast."

"Although we are enemies, please don't get drunk tonight."

"In the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom, you are the one I respect the most."

"Please be merciful after two days, hahaha."

"..."

One by one, the officers had to toast Palitzer, who was already a little dizzy from being drunk.

However, with the existence of magic, Palitzer accepted everyone who came. Anyway, he would go to the toilet to force the alcohol out of his body and stay sober at any time. So he pretended to be a little drunk, ready to see what Vega was up to.

"Come on, come on, Commander, please have another drink."

After drinking another glass of wine, Palitzer waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom first. When I come back, I will definitely accompany you to get drunk."

While talking.

Palitzer hid in a single stall in the bathroom.

He began to use magic to force the alcohol out of his body to relieve his gradually dulling brain.

But what happened next gave him a fright.

"What's going on? Why can't I force out alcohol?"

Beads of cold sweat slid down Palitzer's forehead. He realized that this was probably not an ordinary wine. Vega might have added something to the wine. So what was the intention of this kid who tried every means to make him drunk?

"This can't go on like this."

Palitzer sat in the cubicle, not daring to come out. If he drank any more, he would probably lose consciousness.

Da da da--

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was obvious that there were two people.

After the footsteps, there was the sound of two people talking.

"Hahaha, the commander is indeed a devil."

"That's right, that's right. I'm afraid that idiot still thinks the commander is really going to let him go."

"As expected, the commander is really good at playing. He captured the enemy commander and made a fool of him for four days. This not only hit the enemy's morale, but also made us completely put aside our previous concerns about the war. When he loses consciousness, we will drag him out and kill him in front of the soldiers, which will greatly boost the morale of the entire army." "It should be so!"

"The commander is probably the only one in the world who can make a cruel war so fun."

"As expected of you, Commander. Let's go. I can't wait to see the monkey's ugly appearance after getting drunk."

"..."

As the sound of water disappeared, the two voices of conversation also faded away.

Palitzer listened attentively, not daring to move, and found that his back had become cold due to sweat. It was obvious who the "monkey" in this conversation was.

"It is indeed so. It is indeed so."

Palitzer muttered to himself, "I knew that little devil wouldn't let me go so easily. It turns out that he didn't kill me until now just to fool me. Now that I think about it, cat playing with mouse is indeed more enjoyable than killing the mouse directly."

"what should I do?"

Palitzer was already beginning to panic.

There is no one who is not afraid of death, and it is precisely because of the fear of death that he has been so humble these days. If it were in the past, with his temper he would have exploded long ago. How could he have endured until now?

"Escape! We must escape!"

Palitzer looked toward the bathroom window.

Although we are now in the enemy camp, maybe we have a chance to escape while no one is noticing?

Palitzer burst out with a strong desire to survive. He easily climbed to the high window and prepared to escape from the banquet hall from there.

But as soon as he climbed up, he retracted his head at a glance.

Because through the window, he suddenly realized that the whole building had been surrounded by soldiers, and there were densely packed patrolling magicians, including a large number of Word Wizards. Not to mention him, even the Shadow Wizard would have no chance of escaping from here.

"Am I really just going to sit there and wait for death?"

Palitzer was becoming more and more anxious. There were less than two hours left before the banquet ended. Every beat of his heart meant that death was one step closer to him. There was no time for him to hesitate.

"Master Palitzer, why are you still here?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and the person who came in was a drunk major general.

He put his arm around Palitzer's neck and said, "Come with me and continue drinking. Everyone is waiting for you."

As he spoke, he pulled him outside.

And Palitzer was furious. Waiting for him? Waiting to continue to make a fool of him?

In a rage, he grabbed the major general's neck and strangled him to death.

At this moment, Palitzer had an idea. He threw the body into a compartment, put on the opponent's military uniform, lowered his head, chose an inconspicuous route in the banquet hall, and sneaked out of the door.

Snapped!
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the guard at the door immediately saluted him.

This almost frightened Palitzer to the ground, but fortunately he reacted immediately. The soldiers did not discover his identity and thought he was really a major general.

"Cough cough."

After coughing twice and nodding pretentiously, Palitzer pretended to be calm and walked towards the densely packed high-level military forces surrounding the building in front. As long as he passed this place...

Just break through here!

He still has a chance to escape.

After all, the soldiers did not discover Palitzer. Because of his military uniform, he easily broke through the encirclement.

Just when Palitzer was feeling lucky for escaping the encirclement, he did not notice that on the second-floor balcony, a man holding a wine glass had been watching him from beginning to end.

Vega drank the juice in the goblet in one gulp.

He walked down from the second floor, coughed and said, "Everyone, today's banquet ends here. Now it's time for the after-party entertainment. Next, you must help this mouse escape."
