Mage Veigar

Chapter 806: The mountains and rivers are not as good as you
Seven days passed.

During these seven days, due to Vega's order, the intelligence department, led by Celis, conducted open and secret investigations throughout the city. Even the complex slums were not spared, and they could almost be described as digging deep into the ground.

But unfortunately, nothing was achieved.

The group of seventeen people seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and the intelligence department found nothing.

Celeste Rodney's face was filled with shame and self-blame.

She finally received the request from her lover, but in the end she did nothing and handed in a blank paper to Vega, which made her unable to forgive her own incompetence.

Vega did not blame Celis after hearing the report.

Because the enemies are not ordinary people, they are all upper-level shadow mages and holy dragon masters. Even star mages will be helpless against this powerful combination, let alone ordinary intelligence agents.

However, the reason why they failed to track the enemy this time was that the enemy was strong, but the main reason was that the assassination team attacked so suddenly that no one could react. When they retreated, there was no professional intelligence personnel to track them.

Under these two reasons.

It is extremely difficult to find this group of people out of thin air in such a big city as Saint Laurent.

"Stop the search."

Vega waved his hand casually, not wanting to continue the extremely labor-intensive and resource-intensive search. Checking the entire city would require a lot of manpower and resources, and there might not be any results in the end.

Upon hearing this, Qi Lisi immediately became nervous.

No, it should be said that she was so anxious that she almost cried.

Because Vega's words were full of disappointment, she subconsciously interpreted it as Vega's disappointment in her. This made her, who had always hoped to be needed by Vega and was afraid of being abandoned, extremely scared: "Give me another chance. I will definitely produce results within half a month, no, a week, a week. Please give me another chance no matter what."

Vega discovered that something was wrong with Celis.

He certainly wasn't disappointed with Celis's work.

Whether it was weakening the empire's command level, leaving the empire with an army of seven million but no truly talented generals to command them, or bringing countless advanced cutting-edge technologies to the Kingdom of Jialan, both played a key role in the rise of the Jialan Empire.

Not to mention it was a matter of life and death.

Celis Rodney took over all the territories of the Principality of Baya for him, which gave him a way out.

Although that escape route was not used in the end, it did give Vega endless confidence to fight a good war with the World Alliance. Vega kept all of these in mind.

He was sincerely grateful for having met Celeste Rodney.

Without her, his steps would never have been so big, let alone catching up with other countries in a short time.

Therefore, Vega certainly could not be disappointed in her. He just felt sorry for not being lucky enough to find the enemy's trace, which is what is commonly known as blaming the matter rather than the person.

"You could have been more confident."

Vega picked up the handkerchief on the table, walked to Silis, stood on tiptoe and wiped away her tears carefully: "Today, with your intelligence, you probably know that I have been using you and treating you as my chess piece. But as the chess piece ranked first in my heart, your importance is higher than the entire empire! So please be more confident."

It is easy to gain a country, but difficult to find a good general.

Without famous generals, who will defend this country?
With famous generals, are we afraid that we won't be able to seize the country?
For Vega, the talent of Isiris Rodney is enough to rival an entire country, and she has indeed done so before.

Therefore, in Vega's opinion, the weight of the chess piece of Silis is several times heavier than that of the Jialan Empire! It can be said that if Isa Anistora had the talent of Silis Rodney, Vega might have given up the war on the spot.

Tick ​​tick tick——

Because of Veigar's words, the tears that had just been wiped away burst out again. This time they were no longer tears of sadness, but tears of extreme joy. She had already understood that she was being used as a pawn after experiencing the intrigues and deceptions in the empire, but what did it matter? What she had always pursued was to be needed by Veigar.

Now Vega told her that she was more important than the entire Jialan Empire.

Even if this was a lie, she was already satisfied.

But is this a lie?
If this were said by any other king, it would have been a complete lie.

But Vega would not lie to her, because there was no possibility of deceiving her, or rather, there was no need to even bother lying to her as a chess piece, so this sentence must be true.

Celis couldn't help but hug Vega.

Even though this caused her so much pain that her body began to tremble slightly, she still didn't let go: "How much psychological pressure do you want to put on me by saying this? If I mess up, I won't care."

"I said some cruel words, but no one likes to be a pawn."

“But for me, it’s a privilege.”

Silis let go of Vega, then smiled elegantly and said, “Your Majesty, please look forward to my performance.”

After saying that, Celis left Vega's study.

Vega watched Silis leave, still a little confused: "It seems to have backfired... This is the first time I've seen someone so happy to be treated as a chess piece. If I were treated as a chess piece, I would have to overthrow the high-ranking gambler and become the chess player myself."

It varies from person to person.

For the unambitious Silis, the words of her lover are the greatest motivation for her.

With the blessing of this super BUFF, she held a meeting as soon as she returned to the intelligence organization and once again checked every detail of the past seven days with various departments.

"Mr. Minister."

A team leader said to Qi Lisi: "We have searched all the slums, including the most complicated ones, and we really can't find any trace of the enemy. Could it be that they have left Saint Laurent City because they are afraid of being caught by us?"

This is a guess that is generally agreed upon.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why they spent so much manpower and resources but didn't find any clues at all.

"Do you think someone who dares to cause a scene in the palace in front of the king knows how to write the word fear?"

Qi Lisi said bluntly: "You can never feed a jackal. I believe the enemy must still be in the city, planning their next move. There must be something we have missed."

His sharp eyes scanned the area.

Qi Lisi's words echoed like a queen's, "I ask again, is there really no place missing in the areas you are responsible for? I will give you one last chance to get my forgiveness."

Da da da--

The pendulum swung back and forth in the silent conference room, touching everyone's heart.

These few tens of seconds seemed as long as a century to everyone. Everyone present knew how terrifying the existence of the woman who was once called the 'Underground Queen' in the empire was.

Therefore, under such high pressure, a fat man finally stood up tremblingly, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his forehead. He didn't dare to wipe them even when they flowed into his eyes.

"Your Excellency the Minister, I have something to say."

The trembling voice was particularly obvious in the silent meeting, and everyone focused their eyes on him.
