Walk out of the A91 brigade headquarters.

Vega will never forget the look in the eyes of Brigadier Commander Ganther Burton when he got the notice.

What kind of look is that?

Just like a wealthy businessman who accidentally broke his beloved porcelain cup, although he expressed great regret and heartache, he did not think about taking the broken porcelain cup to be repaired again, because the porcelain cup may be exquisite, but it is not without substitutes.

Vega understood.

His potential will certainly be valued.

But he is like that porcelain cup, even if there is only a little flaw, he will be ruthlessly abandoned by his master, because there are too many geniuses in the empire, and he is not an irreplaceable existence.

But.

If he becomes a unique being.

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

Other words.

To survive this crisis, he must make himself a unique being.

Only by making the military department think that it is impossible to abandon him at this stage can he truly get through this crisis.

As for surviving the crisis?

This is not something to consider at this stage, but Vega will still choose to stay in the army in the end, even if he may die at any time in the army, or even be abandoned and denied, but it is really useless to escape, he wants to gain more power and status through this platform, and subvert everything with unrivaled power to complete his goal.

Now it is necessary to think about how to make the military department think that it is impossible to abandon him.

Is there anything unique about him?

Potential, honor?

These are all things that can be replaced, and it has been proven that the military department will not protect him for the sake of such a boring characteristic.

As he walked towards the officer's quarters, Vega bowed his head in contemplation.

There is not much time left for him, and once the news of the freezing of the Imperial Wings reaches the trial system, then the military prosecutor's office will definitely come to the door again, and with his current meager strength, it is impossible for him to be an opponent of the official magician.

At this time, it is not too much to say that the situation is a thousand shots.

But the more anxious you are, the more you need to be calm, because the emotions of nervousness, insecurity, and fear will only make things worse.

Vega took a deep breath.

Then he looked up and looked around, trying to calm himself down in this distraction.

The moment you raise your head.

Vega discovers that he has unknowingly walked into the slum again.

But this time, unlike the last time he went into it, he just stood on the street and looked out into the alley leading to the slum.

Is that......

Vega saw 3 garbage cans side by side in the alley.

That's where he fought with stray dogs for food in order to survive.

Although this is not something to boast about, or even a symbol of shame, he still survives by winning the first battle through another world at a tragic cost, and finally grabbing the leftovers from the restaurant.

You must not die here.

Vega strengthened his conviction even more, and he subconsciously took two steps towards the trash can.

Just got closer.

Vega noticed an embarrassed figure scurrying out of a dark corner, swooping down on the scraps of freshly discarded rice.

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

Just as the child rushed towards the trash can, a stray dog that had been eyeing him also rushed towards the trash can, the stray dog was fast, but the child's speed was significantly faster.

Wang, woo~

The child not only did not fear the stray dog, but also kicked it out, and the stray dog that bullied the soft and afraid of the hard could only run away with his tail between his legs.

Because of the touching situation, Vega, who wanted to help, stopped.

Yes, not everyone is as weak as he was at the beginning, and what he needs to fight for his life may be easily available to others.

Just as he was about to leave silently.

Suddenly, he saw the child's turned face.

The eyes are facing each other.

The child who had kicked the stray dog and ran away with his tail between his legs, as if he had seen some indescribable horror, did not even bother to take the leftovers, turned around and rushed towards the slum with the fastest speed in his life.

That kid is Bray!

Vega recognized that face at first glance, as he was not only the leader of a street children's spy organization, but also the culprit who bankrupted the second phase of the mission during the last Great Purge.

Originally, Bray managed to escape because of the 6th Division commander Raglan's thoughts.

And Vega almost thought that it would be difficult to find him again in this life, after all, Bray has always been clever and cunning, and if it were not for a carpet search, it would be difficult to find a child in the huge Kareni.

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

He didn't want to chase him, because he was just a small fugitive, and even a little military merit would not solve his predicament, and he didn't have much time to waste.

What the?

For the Empire?

First, he doesn't have much loyalty to the empire, the empire is about to abandon him, is he still standing up for the empire for the last shift.

Seeing that Bray was about to disappear from sight.

Vega paused for a few seconds, but chased after him.

Maybe it's just to divert your attention and calm down, or maybe it's to see how your former "old friend" is doing, or maybe you want to kill him to get a little magic.

Vega just followed him at an unhurried pace.

After more than two hours of this follow, Vega noticed that Bray had been circling the slums, as if he had deliberately done so for fear of being followed.

Vega is a professional and a magician.

He wanted to track down an ordinary person, so it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to detect his aura.

After two hours of clever manoeuvring, Bray finally knocked four times at the door of a dilapidated house.

Creak.

The wind-leaking door was opened.

It was a middle-aged man, and because he was wearing a tattered black cloak, he couldn't see whether his body was strong or weak, so he didn't cover his face with the cloak, so Vega saw his pale face.

The middle-aged man was injured.

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

Bang.

After a careful glance around, Bray entered the room, the door shut.

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 that the man was holding in his other hand under his cloak.

That's no ordinary cane.

The Shaped Crystal embedded in the top of the staff clearly told him that it was a staff that only magicians could use.

Why did the Wizard come into contact with Bray?

Judging from the other party's clothing, it is obvious that he is not affiliated with the military system, and at the same time, he is not a magician serving in the trial system and the government system.

Even if he didn't wear it, the average magician would immediately rush to the hospital for treatment if he was injured, but the other party didn't do so.

Could it be......

A freelance mage who is unwilling to serve the Empire?

Because only a freelance mage could be so poor that he could barely afford to pay for his medicine.
