Chapter 33: The Precursor to War

This is......

What happened?

What's the deal with that magic shield that suddenly appeared?

A magic shield as fragile as glass could actually withstand a blow from a Level 5 Apprentice?

Even if the other party didn't use all his strength, it was enough to surprise Vega. Because the magic shield formed by the magic power guided by unknown forces consumes too little magic power, so little that it is not even 1/20 of the magic defense, but the effect is no worse than the magic defense, or even a little stronger.

What puzzled Vega even more was that.

When he saw this translucent magic shield, this person who claimed to be a family of tomb guards had ignored his threat a minute ago, and would rather bear the crime of treason than swear to defend the dignity of the nobles, but a minute later he bowed his head with pride.

"Why ......"

Vega opened his mouth to ask the old man about the situation, but closed his mouth again.

Ask the enemy about the unknown in yourself?

The more you ask, the more information you expose, and the more information you inadvertently expose, the more likely it will be used by the other party to cause you harm.

Just like every day, we inadvertently expose a phone call.

If the call is posted on a sales pitch site, you probably don't have to think about living a peaceful life these days, so be prepared to deal with hundreds of harassing phone calls first.

Similarly.

Vega wasn't prepared to ask Oak Nelson about his doubts.

Sometimes even if you don't understand anything, as long as you are in a high position, silence is also unfathomable in the eyes of others.

Vega picked up the dagger and walked into the cemetery with the adjutant.

This time, the old man and the other five members of the tomb guarding family bowed and let them go, without saying any more words to stop them.

As Vega thought.

Oak Nelson only thought that Vega wanted to hide his identity as a mage, after all, who didn't have a few quirks in the high-strength people, and the head of the empire only wore the same color and style of clothes.

So Oak Nelson didn't suspect that Vega didn't even know what a mage was.

In these years, who doesn't want to suddenly awaken their spiritual power to become a powerful mage, how can there be professionals who don't even know what the concept of mage is, and those who don't know the mysteries of mages are probably only ordinary people who can't even awaken their magic power.

Oak Nelson was even glad that Vega didn't use spells to attack him.

I walked for about ten minutes.

When he couldn't see the people of the tomb guard family at all, Vega asked the doubt in his heart: "Adjutant, do you know why they don't stop us anymore?"

"I don't know. ”

The adjutant was obviously also a little puzzled: "No matter where you are, the people of the tomb guarding family are known for their conformism, as for why they suddenly let you in, this is exactly what the lower official is puzzled about, is it possible that the company commander, what kind of aristocratic status do you have?"

"Have you ever seen a nobleman without a surname?"

Vega shook his head and said, "Do you know what that translucent shield I released is?"

"Isn't it your combat skills?" the adjutant asked rhetorically with confusion in his eyes.

Adjutant Char is just an ordinary sergeant, he still knows nothing about the affairs of professionals, and naturally he only hears of the mage's name, but he has not seen the fact, plus the only mage in the entire regiment headquarters has also been withdrawn by the brigade headquarters, and during the armistice, ordinary soldiers will not see the mages release spells to fight.

Vega's problems ended in vain.

He could only bury the doubts in his heart for the time being, and when he had time, he would go to the Kareni Library to learn more about the specific situation of professionals, he had never heard of professionals who could easily release magic from their bodies.

Half an hour later.

Vega buried Leah's ashes in the earth with his own hands, and at the same time pasted a black and white photo of Leah on the tombstone.

Vega gave Leah a military salute.

He half-squatted on the ground and stroked the black and white photos for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Leah, may the light in your world last forever, the cold winter will pass away forever, and you are in the spring where the flowers are blooming, and the smile is still there." ”

————

Didn't stay any longer.

Vega left the cemetery in the western suburbs, people like the holy lotus, but they don't like the silt, he, who voluntarily joins the world, is not qualified to have too much contact with Leah, at least he thinks so.

"Company commander, do you have any arrangements next?"

Adjutant Char followed behind Vega with the awakened guards, and when he saw Vega walking out of the cemetery, he wasted no time in asking.

"What's next......"

A hint of confusion flashed in Vega's eyes.

He looked at the horizon, the snowy sky was still shining, there were still about 7 hours until 23:59, but he didn't have anything else to do, and the only thing he needed to do now was to wait for the end of the day, and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of the harvest.

"Adjutant, come with me for a walk. ”

"Yes, Company Commander. ”

Vega walked aimlessly down the streets with a squad of guards, and he noticed that the atmosphere in the North End was a little different today.

Some shops closed early, and there were no vendors on the streets, and there were not even two or three civilians hanging around. Although there were no civilians, there were groups of soldiers who were rarely seen in the streets, their weapons already stained with blood, and the entire North District seemed to smell a little blood in the air.

"It seems that the purge is going well. ”

Vega glanced around, and some civilians who were watching the street through the window immediately closed the window as soon as they came into contact with Vega's gaze, for fear that they would get into trouble by looking at Vega more.

These are troubled times.

Vega stopped in the middle of the street and looked up at the darkening sky: "Perhaps, all-out war is really coming......

"Company commander, you're too worried. ”

The adjutant wasted no time in interjecting: "Even if you borrow a few guts from the United Kingdom, you don't dare to tear up the armistice agreement, the empire's army is powerful on the continent, if it weren't for the restrictions of other countries back then, I'm afraid the empire has removed the United Kingdom from the Jialan Continent, and the United Kingdom rashly tearing up the armistice agreement at this time is tantamount to self-destruction." ”

Vega shook his head and said, "Never underestimate such a thing as hatred and profit, which is enough to make a wise man lose his mind, a nation to complete madness, and an entire nation to run wild. As long as hatred remains, the apparent peace is only a flicker-to-touch artifact. ”

The adjutant did not refute.

Although it is true that the contradictions between the Empire and the United Kingdom have been long, even to the point that they can never be reconciled, it is clear from the expression on his face that he does not believe that the United Kingdom will take the initiative to tear up the armistice.

Whether it was Adjutant Char or other senior officers of the military department, they always believed that the Imperial Army was invincible in the Jialan Continent, and that only the strong countries had provoked wars, and that no weak country would dare to take the initiative to provoke.
