Chapter 100: The Suspicious Soldier's Plan
Even the beloved goblet was crushed.
Always elegant and calm, Bruno Valen, a self-proclaimed gentleman, has lost his composure.
It had been more than a month since Nightingale had sent his secret letter to the Kingdom Army in the city of Gacily, and even the season had turned from early winter to deep winter, but the news of his request for war before the arrival of spring had not been heard at all.
These days, he has begun to not be calm.
A week earlier, he had been both surprised and horrified to hear that the army had spotted a British mage who was trying to infiltrate Kareni at the city gate.
The surprise was because the mage had 90% of the answers he wanted.
The horror is due to the fact that the mage was actually identified by the Imperial army, although it is reported that the mage of the United Kingdom escaped pursuit, but once the army finds him again, then it is possible to reveal his identity as a spy.
What happens when your identity is exposed?
Although the backbone of the army had been sent to the front, and all that was left in the city were some cannon fodder units that had not yet been trained, he did not think that the 10,000 combat strength of the General Administration of Law Enforcement alone would be the opponent of the Judgment Corps in the Kareni trial system.
As everyone knows.
The Legion of Judgment is the only force in the Kareni Inquisition, with a total number of less than 700 men, but each of them is a high-ranking mage, who is responsible for judging and dealing with traitors and surrenderers in war, as well as performing decapitation tactics.
Bruno did not think that he could defend himself against the trial of the Legion of Judges.
Therefore, he needs to find this magician before the army finds him, which is why he ordered the whole world to be dispatched this week, and he must not reveal his identity now.
Just find this magician......
Then not only will he be able to get the answer he wants, but he will also be able to avoid revealing his identity.
I waited anxiously for a week.
Just when he began to doubt himself, the god of luck favored him.
Just now, his men reported to him that they had found this vital magician.
"Where is he?"
Bruno has completely lost the elegance of a gentleman, which is the after-effect of the sudden relaxation of long-strained nerves.
Ori, of course, understood what the magician in the reception room meant to the Director, and he quickly replied, "I have a long night's sleep, I have taken him to the reception room next to it, and you can meet him at any time." ”
"Take me to him. Bruno looked a little anxious.
Ori hurriedly opened the door and motioned for Bruno to follow him.
Bruno took three steps and two steps, and just walked to the door, but stopped Ori who was about to go to the reception room: "Captain Ori, don't rush to meet this Mr. Mage, let's have a drink and tell you how you found him." ”
He turned back and sat back in the chair that matched his desk.
The excitement in his eyes has faded, and he has regained his composure.
Bruno took two goblets out of the drawer, poured a glass of wine for Ori himself, and then gently pushed a few centimeters in his direction, making an elegant gesture of please.
"Thank you, Director. ”
Orrie swallowed, then half-bowed over the glass and drank it, ignoring Bruno's regretful and helpless eyes, and began to recount the encounter with Vega.
A few minutes later.
Bruno's eyes flashed with an inexplicable gaze: "Special symbols are definitely not fake, and the description of the staff and cloak is not much different from the news obtained from the army, it seems that the identity of this person can be determined." ”
There was a pause.
Bruno then got up and said, "But just in case, you need to check carefully." ”
"You mean to meet that Mr. Mage now?" asked Orry cautiously.
Bruno shook the red wine and looked back at the map of Kareni City: "Captain Ori, please calm down, presumably that Mr. Mage is also tired, it seems a little rude to disturb now, I think it is better to wait until the evening." ”
"But isn't it rude to hang Mr. Mage like this?"
"There's something even more rude. ”
Bruno smiled: "Tell me to go down and lock the door of the reception room, even if there is any movement inside, no one is allowed to open the door to Mr. Mage, let alone meet Mr. Mage without permission." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it. ”
Although puzzled, Ori walked out the door and did as Bruno instructed.
It's not that Bruno Valen isn't in a hurry, but he wants to give Viga a try.
If there is a ghost in his heart, then he has been left in the reception room for so long, and the door is locked from the outside in front of him, then the weak-hearted person will inevitably lose his breath, and even begin to wonder if the ghost has revealed his identity.
This effect is especially noticeable in quiet chambers.
Even if you survive this hurdle.
During the evening interview, I suddenly relaxed because of excessive mental tension.
If the other party really has a ghost, it will inevitably show some horses' feet.
This is the experience that Bruno has just learned from the sudden relaxation of his nerves and the accidental loss of his beloved goblet.
————
Time passes.
After 10 minutes.
The doorway was locked with a key from the outside, and Vega began to have a bad feeling.
1 hour later.
Vega had already begun pacing back and forth in the room.
After 2 hours.
Vega began to turn the doorknob hard, but unfortunately he couldn't open it without the key.
After 3 hours.
After pacing back and forth, Vega began to call out in a cloaked male voice, but no one listened.
Four hours passed.
At this time, the sun was already hanging on the mountainside, and due to excessive mental tension, coupled with a day of not drinking and eating, Vega had begun to enter a state of self-doubt.
Why did you leave him to dry when you brought him back?
And he locked the door, ignoring his cries.
Has your identity been revealed?
Otherwise, it is simply difficult to explain the current situation.
Do you want to break out now?
A broken door didn't seem to stop him.
In this extremely quiet environment, especially in the extremely dangerous enemy headquarters.
Vega stood on the edge of the precipice on the line of life and death, his nerves tense to the limit.
Hour 5!
When the afterglow of the setting sun fades into the sky, the night reigns over the earth.
Vega's face had turned pale, and he gathered his battle qi into his fist, and his eyes were fixed on the door of the reception room.
The excessively tense nerves and the confined environment where pins and needles could be heard had already brought his mind to a dead end.
Take a step forward.
Vega tried to break through the thin door and rush out, he didn't want to sit still.
Thorn -
The punch was fast, and if nothing else, it would hit the door in 0.5 seconds.
There was no explosion as expected.
In the last 0.1 seconds, Vega stopped his fist a centimeter from the door.
No, not at all!
If his identity has really been exposed, then in the opponent's base camp, he can be directly restrained with unrivaled strength, and there is no need to block him with a broken door that even ordinary people can smash.
Vega finally regained his composure.
He realized that this might just be the other party's suspicious tactic, and now what he needed to do was not to be suspicious, but to keep his spirit up and be ready for the unknown challenges that were coming.
Sit back on the couch.
In order to keep yourself calm and in shape.
Vega took out the 'Shadow Magic' rune page that he had with him and began to learn.
