The Burton family.

This was one of the emerging aristocratic families of Kareni two hundred years ago.

Today, the aristocracy has withdrawn from the stage of power competition, and if it still holds the illusion of rebuilding the glory of the nobility and the posture of superiority, then it will inevitably be ruthlessly crushed by the wheel of history.

The title of nobility is already more of an honor.

However, they still retain the right to establish an escort force, but the size of this escort and the number of weapons they possess are controlled by the government in every way, and their status is now only more noble than that of civilians and wealthy merchants.

But that's enough.

Although they have withdrawn from the power center, the property left by the ancestors is enough for them to squander for several lifetimes.

But not all nobles cling to their former glory and wait for death.

Some aspiring aristocratic families, relying on the accumulation of primitive wealth, began to develop into the business and political worlds, and they had a greater advantage over the grassroots class.

However, few nobles developed in the direction of the army.

Because in the imperial army, the emphasis is on the supremacy of ability, which is mainly based on intelligence and force, and strong financial resources can only be icing on the cake, but not in the snow.

Ganther Burton is different.

He realized that with the accumulation of wealth in their family, even if they had been in business for a hundred years, they could not be compared with the old nobles, because some people had already stood at the end of the line from birth, so he chose to join the army.

Now he is a brigade commander.

As one of the core members of the division, no one dared to ignore his existence even at the banquet of the old nobles.

That's why.

His mansion had moved from the edge of the aristocratic district to the center of the district.

In front of the luxurious mansion.

Vega stared at the word "Burton" on the door plate.

Today, he finally realizes that he has been deceived.

What is called not being able to commit to a magic for the time being?

When Ganse and André were fighting for him in the Professional Union, he actually believed Ganse-Burton's nonsense.

Now it seems.

It's not that Ganther Burton can't promise a magic, but he just wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf.

Sure enough, the army is the most ruthless place.

Vega calmed down and did not enter it openly through the main entrance.

Because there was a guard patrolling the door, and he was now a wanted man, the less people knew about the late night visit to the Imperial officer, the better.

Climb over the wall.

Vega didn't use trickery.

It would be good to have one or two professionals in the guard of the general aristocracy, and these domestic professionals can be different from those in the army, and those who have not experienced the baptism of blood and fire are difficult to find his traces even if they are one level higher than him.

Let's go.

Vega fell to the ground.

According to the plan, he planned to sneak into Burton's mansion first, and then slowly find out which room Ganther was in.

But when he landed, Vega found that he was surrounded.

Vega glanced at the two professionals and a dozen ordinary guards surrounding him in confusion.

It's impossible.

When did a domesticated professional have such a keen sense of smell?

Vega stared intently.

found these two professions, one is apprentice level 2, the other is apprentice level 3, with such strength, even if he is a little big when he climbs over the wall, but it is impossible to find his figure.

"This is private territory. ”

One of the third-level apprentices was armed with a spear: "Please lay down your arms, tell your identity and purpose, according to imperial law, if you resist the slightest, we have the right to execute you on the spot." ”

"Don't get me wrong. ”

Since it was discovered, Vega could only say helplessly: "My master and I are also old acquaintances, this time I came to visit Brigadier Ganther Burton, and there is no malicious intent." ”

"Huh!"

Another professional laughed: "Since you are going to visit our family, you should pass through the main entrance according to etiquette, you sneakily climbed over the wall to enter, I think you want to be unfavorable to the adults." ”

"Put down your weapons and raise your hands. ”

With a spear point, the third-level professional seems to be relatively rigid, and judging by his attitude, I am afraid that he will attack if he refuses at the slightest.

Vega did not lay down his arms.

He looked at the two professionals with regret in his eyes.

Why a pity?

If he can kill these two professionals, maybe he will be able to advance to the second-level magician, but the two of them are Ganther Burton's people after all, and they must not be killed, at most they can only teach a lesson.

"Bastard. ”

The Level 2 Apprentice was furious when he saw Vega's attitude.

A thief broke into their territory, not only without the slightest remorse, but also showed a posture of fearlessness and did not take them seriously. Anyway, they are also professionals, when have they ever been seen so clearly.

The second-level apprentice's weapon is a relatively unusual tomahawk.

He was tall and rushed over with a shout in his mouth, and in front of him with the size of Vega, it was completely the difference between a cat and a tiger, a chicken and an eagle, and in the eyes of others, it was estimated that a butt could sit Vega to death.

Rumble.

A puff of smoke filled the air.

In the end, it turned out that the strength of the strength really cannot be judged by volume.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the second-level apprentice who was several times the size of Vega had passed out, foaming at the mouth with white foam, and Vega didn't even pull out the short knife.

Goo-dong.

Everyone swallowed in unison.

Especially the ordinary guards, who had turned pale with fright.

This is their vice-captain, the strength of the second-level trainee professional is not mentioned for the time being, just that terrifying size, it is estimated that he can sweep away several ordinary people with a wave of his hand, but what did they see.

This child.

Unexpectedly, the deputy captain who was holding a tomahawk and was full of fire fell to the ground with one foot.

If this kick hits ...... No, rubbing their bodies, I'm afraid I'll spend the rest of my life in bed.

But the Level 3 apprentice did not retire.

Although he was indeed suppressed by Vega's kick, even if he judged with the naked eye, he could probably guess that the opponent's strength was above the fourth level, and he was obviously a professional with extremely experienced combat experience, even if he was against him, I am afraid that he would have taken a move.

But he was the captain of the convoy.

Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king. Since he has become a retainer of the Burton family, he naturally cannot retreat at this time.

"I don't want to create a conflict with you. ”

Vega said as he walked forward, "I said I had only come to visit Brigadier Ganther Burton, and since you have discovered it, please show me the way, lest I have to look around." ”

"If you want to find our family, pass me first. ”

Vega looked at the other party's determined expression and sighed, it seemed that it was not appropriate to talk, he strode closer, ready to give the other party a while, no matter how he said that he was also a fourth-level trainee professional, it was still easy to deal with a third-level apprentice.

But just then, a voice came.

"Sesi, stand aside, you're no match for him. ”

A young magician dressed in a delicate cloak and holding a staff in his hand stepped out of the shadows.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Level 4 Trainee Professional, don't rely on your ability to ignore everyone, you need to know that there are more powerful beings in this world than professionals." ”

"Magician?"

Vega was stunned for a moment, he finally understood how he had been exposed.

I'm afraid that as soon as he stepped into the wall, he was discovered by the other party's spiritual power, but looking at the current situation, the other party didn't seem to notice that he was also a magician, but misunderstood that he was a fourth-level apprentice.

A first-class magician?

Vega probably determined the strength of the other party in his heart, because he couldn't see through his identity as a magician, the biggest possibility was that the other party was a first-level or second-level magician. And as long as you see him make a move above the third level, you will definitely be able to find out his strength.

The magician didn't realize that he had been seen through by Vega, instead thinking that Vega was terrified because of who he was.

Therefore, he said with smugness: "Since you know that I am a magician, then I will be caught now, if I wait for me to do it, I will not be able to control my strength at that time, and I will burn you to slag, don't blame me for not showing mercy to my subordinates." ”

"I don't like to be tied up. ”

Vega said in a rather helpless tone, "Because being tied up makes me feel like I'm putting my life in the hands of someone else, and I hate it in particular. ”

"Now that you've chosen ......"

The magician shrugged his shoulders, looking like he didn't know how to cherish the opportunity: "Flame Spell Flame Burst!"

Not good!

When he felt the surging spiritual power of the other party, Vega's heart was alarmed, the other party was not a first-level magician at all, but a second-level magician, and this magic strength looked like second-level magic no matter how you looked at it.

Rumble.

Huge roar.

A large fireball suddenly fell from a high altitude and landed right in Vega's position.

This large fireball is as powerful as an RPG bazooka, not only smashing Vega's position into a large hole, but also destroying the stone wall behind him, once hit by this large fireball, even the top professional will be wiped out.

Of course, the premise is to smash it.

However, the fact that a high-level professional can dodge in advance does not mean that a level 4 trainee professional can dodge.

Unless......

The opponent also has psychic power and can sense the prelude to his spell casting in advance.

But is it possible?

Magicians are not a bad profession, and Rayleigh, a second-level elemental mage, is especially sure of this.

But as soon as this thought fell, he quickly felt a chill in his neck.

What is it?

Touching his neck with his left hand, Rayleigh's face changed wildly.

When, a short knife was already on his neck, why did his mental power not feel it!

He subconsciously wanted the mage's shield to bounce away, but he gave up on this plan because he was not sure if his mage's shield could be faster than the opponent's short sword.

"Mr. Mage. ”

A familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Now please cooperate, throw the staff in your hand on the ground and raise your hands, if you don't cooperate, you should know that at such a close distance, your mage shield will not have time to react." ”

"Damn! you're ......"

Rayleigh let out an angry voice, "Shadow Mage!"

Shadow Mage.

One of the most notorious offshoots in mage circles.

If you want to talk about how much elemental mages hate shadow mages, it's hard to write even a million words.

If the shadow mage is placed on the battlefield, they are not as efficient at killing the enemy as a first-level elemental mage, even if it is a first-level fire method, a few fireballs can smash a large area of the enemy army, but what can a shadow mage do?

Close to the top as a professional?

Inefficiency aside, it's a shame for the mage.

But if you want to put the shadow mage in the assassination mission, then at least you can assassinate the elemental mage by the third level.

Therefore, Shadow Mages are the most notorious existence in the mage realm, and they never know that they stab in the back just in front of them, and this despicable behavior makes Rayleigh especially shameless.

In his opinion, the romance of the mage should be bursting flames!

Luckily, the number of Shadow Mages is relatively scarce after all.

But he didn't expect to meet the most notorious existence in the mage realm here.

This probability...... What else can be said?

Rayleigh sighed, he lowered the staff in his hand and raised his hands, knowing that with the spiritual power of a level 2 mage, he could not detect the shadow mage's traces at all, and all resistance was in vain.

Let's go.

Vega kicked the staff away.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, it seems that the performance of this trickery style in actual combat is still good.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then put down the short knife and said, "Mr. Mage, please don't put up fearless resistance, you should know that the shadow mage's single combat ability is not comparable to that of you elemental mages who are good at large-scale warfare." ”

"Of course I know that. ”

Rayleigh shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I won't say where Lord Ganse is now, and I have already sent someone to inform the law enforcement team just now, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise even if you find Lord Ganser, I'm afraid you won't want to go back alive." ”

Rayleigh was flustered.

He didn't even inform the law enforcement team, because the devil knew that the other party was actually a shadow mage.

But his face was quite shocked: "Of course, you don't think that you can get out of the way because you are a shadow mage, and I am not afraid to tell you that there is a second-level shadow mage named Nightingale in the General Administration of the Law Enforcement Team, and he will personally take action when the time comes...... Hum. ”

Nightingale?

Vega didn't specifically answer.

He just walked in the direction of the house: "I don't bother you if I can go back alive, now I just want to find Brigadier Ganser, if you don't tell me the location, I'll find it myself, if you still want to block the way...... Hum. ”

Vega snorted twice as Rayleigh snorted, his head shrinking in fright.

Just when Rayleigh was hesitant to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

A figure walked towards this direction, and then made a beautiful voice like a wind chime: "Mr. Rayleigh, I heard an explosion, is something happening?"

"Damn. ”

Rayleigh took a sip and quickly propped up the mage's shield, blocking it in front of Vega with his bare hands, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Don't come here, Miss, quickly inform Lord Ganser to retreat urgently, even if it costs with my life, I will buy you time to retreat." ”

"And ......"

Rayleigh gritted his teeth, thinking that he was dying, so he yelled, "Miss, I like you!"

And I didn't get an answer from the comer.

Rayleigh was puzzled, and the young lady he had a crush on not only did not obey his command to retreat, but walked towards this side quickly: "Brother Vega, why are you here?"

When I heard the word brother.

At this moment, Rayleigh wanted to die.
