Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Magic Cloak
Rumble.
After a loud bang, the house was burned to the ground.
Ellison is dead.
At the last moment, he burned his mental power again and released a fireball in an attempt to die with Vega.
It's a pity that his wishful thinking was wrong.
Since the previous fireball had failed to kill Vega, how could it be possible to cause Vega to be harmed by the repetition of the old technique.
It may seem silly.
Vega originally thought so.
But after extorting a confession from Bray, he learned that this magician was hiding a secret letter to the head of the United Kingdom spy organization in Kareni, although the content of this secret letter was unknown, but its importance was undoubted.
Other words.
This last fireball wasn't meant to be directed at Vega.
Ellison's real purpose was to burn the letter on his body, and from his last words, it was clear that this letter must have been related to some kind of strategic planning, otherwise the United Kingdom would not have allowed a magician to make a cameo appearance as a postman.
However, the letters have been burned.
That is, the trail has been broken.
As it stands, this is true, but Vega has even more exciting news from Bray's mouth.
Kareni City, the head of the United Kingdom spy organization, is-
Government system, Director General of Law Enforcement, Bruno Valen.
There are now 10,000 troops, 200 or so professionals, and an unknown number of magicians working for the General Directorate of Law Enforcement, the only force in the Kareni government system.
If the director of the General Directorate of Law Enforcement is the head of spies.
As long as the war broke out, and the main forces of the Third Army and the judicial system were all on the border, then in the case of the extreme emptiness of the rear, in the event of a mutiny in the General Directorate of Law Enforcement, Kareni would be lost in an instant.
Once Kareni fell.
Then the Third Army and the Judgment Corps will not only be attacked from many sides, but even the basic sources of supply will be cut off.
A supply line is a lifeline.
If the large rear is lost, then the outcome of this war is already predictable.
The United Kingdom has reached such a point......
This is not only to win this war, but to eat the entire Third Army!
Vega recalled Ellison's last words again, and a cold sweat was already on his back.
The Third Army is the main force in the northern part of the Empire, and once it is destroyed by the United Kingdom, it will not only be one city of Kareni, but the entire northern front of the Empire, because the city of Kareni is the throat of the north.
This is a matter of life and death for the entire Kareni and the northern front of the empire.
Vega's heart began to beat violently.
As long as this important information is reported to the military department, then as a deal, I believe that the entire Third Army will not be able to abandon Vega even if it is for him to tear his face with the Kareni trial system.
But the crucial point is.
He had no evidence that what he said was true.
Bray's testimony alone is not enough to bring down a high-ranking official in the Kareni government system.
And his own evaluation in the army has dropped to a record low, and when the time comes, not only will he not be able to impress the military department, but he will also be regarded as a clown who jumps over the wall in a hurry.
That is, he also needs some substantial evidence.
Then the problem is back to square one, that crucial letter has been burned.
Now Vega dared to guess that the secret letter might be a signal that the United Kingdom was planning to start a war.
What should I do now?
Vega is once again at a dead end.
A sense of grievance arose, and he began to regret it extremely.
If he had known about the existence of the letter at the time and killed Ellison directly, it would have been a foregone conclusion by now.
This is like winning hundreds of millions of lottery prizes, only to find out at the prize redemption center, the original way to redeem the prize has been lost to the priceless lottery ticket, if it is a person with lower psychological capacity, I am afraid that one breath has not been able to slow down.
Although Vega did not go to this extent.
But the mind stopped for a few seconds.
He looked back at Bray, who was shrunk on the ground and trembling: "If there is anything else you know, tell me everything!"
"No, it's really gone. ”
As if sensing the anger on Vega's body, Bray's voice trembled to the extreme: "I said everything I had to say, I only know that he came to Kareni to deliver a letter to the director of the General Directorate of Law Enforcement, and I don't know the content of the letter at all, and he just asked me to find an opportunity to avoid the eyes and ears of the army and bring the people of the law enforcement team here." ”
Vega could tell that Bray wasn't lying.
Therefore, he picked up the short knife and walked in front of Bray, without any superfluous nonsense, and without thinking about the slightest old feelings, he cut off his head directly with a knife, because Bray was no longer useful.
The sudden stab also caught Bray off guard, as he didn't expect Vega to kill him all of a sudden.
The short knife is sheathed.
A touch of warm magic poured into his heart, making Vega feel a little warmer.
At this point, Vega had no choice but to find another piece of evidence.
So he looked at the magic cloak and staff on the ground, which could not be burned, and were slightly tattered.
It didn't feel taboo because it was worn by a dead person.
In line with the principle of not wasting it, Vega directly bent down and picked it up and put it on his body.
The magic cloak is a type of magic item, which has a good meditation bonus and mental power concentration effect, especially in the battle of magicians, the concentration of mental power has a direct impact on the speed of spell casting.
The cost of a magic cloak is not less than one casting medium.
Although the quality of this magic cloak can only be considered average, it is not an item that Vega can afford to buy in the short term.
Coupled with a staff in his hand, today's harvest is quite "passable", right......
I comforted myself in this way.
Vega discovers that the cloak also has a camouflage effect, as long as you wear a wide hat, not only can you hide your breath, change your original voice, but also raise a layer of fog on your face that obstructs your vision, making it impossible to see your true face.
This cloak is simply tailor-made for shadow mages.
However, due to her size, this cloak is too wide for Vega, and of course it is not impossible to wear, but it looks very funny and weird to wear, along with the limbs and the military uniform on her body, all of which are covered, like a pirate ghost wrapped in a white cloth in the movie.
Vega didn't pick and choose.
He wore a black cloak, and he was about to walk out of the dilapidated house that was still burning.
Because there was no point in staying here, the body of the magician Ellison had already been burned by the fireball when the fireball exploded, and Bray was almost cremated, so there was nothing of value to be found here.
But just then, a small team in the distance was attracted by the fire.
They wore the uniforms of the law enforcement team, led by a Level 3 professional.
Vega didn't show any surprise, the affairs of the city are generally managed by the law enforcement team, and if there is an explosion or fire here, they naturally have to rush to the first place.
Come closer.
Vega didn't show any movement, but the Level 3 professional led by him showed an expression of disbelief.
He fixed his gaze on the collar of Vega's cloak.
In that position, there is a special symbol that is not visible.
