Mage Veigar

Chapter 95 Free Mage
Walk out from A91 Brigade Headquarters.

Vega will never forget the look in Brigade Commander Gunther Burton's eyes when he received the notice.

What kind of look is that?
Just like a wealthy businessman who accidentally broke his beloved porcelain cup. Although he expressed regret and heartache, he never thought of repairing the broken porcelain cup, because the porcelain cup may be exquisite, but it is not without a substitute.

Vega understood.

His potential will certainly be valued.

But he is like that porcelain cup. Even if he has just the slightest flaw, he will be ruthlessly abandoned by his owner, because there are too many geniuses in the empire, and he is not irreplaceable.

but.

If he becomes unique.

Then no one can abandon him, just like when he got the "Kareni Contact Map 1", the regiment even activated the Imperial Special Operations Regulations for it, and the entire regiment was dispatched to rescue him.

In other words.

To survive this crisis, he must make himself unique.

Only by making the military believe that they can no longer abandon him at this stage can he truly survive this crisis.

As for after the crisis?

This is not something that needs to be considered at this stage, but Vega will eventually choose to stay in the army, even though he may die at any time in the army, or even be abandoned and denied. However, escape is really useless. He wants to gain more power and status through this platform, subvert everything with unparalleled power, and achieve his goals.

What needs to be considered now is how to make the military think that they cannot abandon him.

Is there anything unique about him?

Potential, honor?
These are all replaceable things, and it has been proven that the military will not keep him for such boring characteristics.

While walking towards the officers' apartment, Vega lowered his head in deep thought.

He doesn't have much time left. Once the news of the freezing of the Wings of the Empire reaches the trial system, the Military Procuratorate will definitely come knocking on his door again. With his current meager strength, he can never be a match for a formal magician.

It is no exaggeration to say that the situation is critical at this moment.

But the more urgent the situation is, the more you need to stay calm, because tension, anxiety and fear will only make things worse.

Vega took a deep breath.

Then he raised his head and looked around, trying to calm himself down by diverting his attention.

The moment you raise your head.

Vega found that he had unknowingly walked into the slums again.

However, this time was different from the last time he went deep into the slums. He just stood on the street and looked at the alley leading to the slums.

That is……

Vega saw three trash cans lined up in the alley.

That was the place where he had to compete with stray dogs for food in order to survive.

Although this is not something to be boasted about, and is even a symbol of shame, he still won the first battle in the other world at a tragic cost, and finally snatched the leftovers from the restaurant, so he survived.

You absolutely cannot die here.

Vega became more determined in his belief, and he subconsciously took two steps towards the trash can.

Just got close.

Vega noticed a dishevelled figure rushing out from a dark corner and rushing towards the leftovers that had just been discarded.

It was a child, who looked about the same size as him.

Just as the child rushed towards the trash can, a stray dog ​​that had been eyeing the child eagerly also rushed towards the trash can. The stray dog ​​was very fast, but the child was obviously faster.

Woof woof, woof~
Not only was the child not afraid of the stray dog, he kicked it away. The stray dog, which only bullied the weak and feared the strong, could only run away with its tail between its legs.

Vega, who wanted to help, stopped because of the scene.

Yes, not everyone is as weak as he was at the beginning. What he needs to fight for with his life may be easily obtained by others. Just as he was about to leave quietly.

He suddenly saw the child's face turning around.

Eyes facing each other.

The child who had kicked the stray dog ​​and made it run away with its tail between its legs seemed to have seen some unspeakable horror. He didn't even bother to pick up the leftovers. He turned around and rushed towards the slums at the fastest speed in his life.

That kid is Bray!
Vega recognized the face at first sight, because he was not only the leader of the Street Children Spy Organization, but also the culprit who caused the second phase of the mission to fail during the last purge.

Originally, Bray managed to escape because of the kindness of the 6th Division Commander Raglan.

And Vega almost thought that he might never find him in this lifetime. After all, Bray was always clever and cunning. If it wasn't for a carpet search, it would be difficult to find a child in such a big Kareni.

But he didn't expect to meet Bray again here.

He didn't want to give chase because he was just a small fugitive. Even if he was caught and gained some military merit, it would not solve his predicament. He didn't have much time to waste.

what?
For the empire?

First of all, he had little loyalty to the empire, and the empire was about to abandon him. Could it be that he still had to stand guard for the empire to the last minute?

Bray was about to disappear from sight.

After pausing for a few seconds, Vega finally caught up.

Maybe he just wanted to divert his attention and calm himself down, or maybe he wanted to see how his "old friend" was doing, or maybe he wanted to kill him to gain some magic power.

Vega just followed behind him at a leisurely pace.

They followed Bray for more than two hours, and Vega found that Bray was circling along the slums, as if he was doing it on purpose because he was afraid of being followed.

Vega is a professional and a magician.

If he wanted to track an ordinary person, it would be almost impossible for the ordinary person to detect his presence.

After walking around for two hours, Bray finally knocked four times, three long and one short, at the door of a dilapidated house.

creak.

The leaky door was opened.

He was a middle-aged man. Because he was wearing a tattered black cloak, it was difficult to tell whether his body was strong or weak. He did not cover his face with the cloak, so Vega saw his pale complexion.

The middle-aged man was injured.

Vega was keenly aware of the middle-aged man's situation.

boom.

After taking a careful look around, Bray entered the house and closed the door.

But the moment the door was closed, Vega's pupils shrank.

Because the moment the middle-aged man raised his hand to close the door, Vega saw the cane in the man's other hand under his cloak.

That was no ordinary cane.

The energy-gathering crystal embedded on the top of the staff clearly told him that it was a staff that could only be used by magicians.

Why would the magician come into contact with Bray?

Judging from the other party's attire, he obviously did not belong to the military system, nor was he a magician working in the judicial system or the government system.

Even if he didn't wear it, most magicians would rush to the hospital for treatment immediately if they were injured, but the other party didn't do that.

Could it be...

A free mage who is unwilling to serve the Empire?
Because only a free mage might be so poor that he could barely afford medical expenses.
