Mage Veja

Chapter 106
Outside.

Nightingale had already drawn his dagger from his waist.

He is a level 2 shadow mage.

Due to limited energy, so far, he has only cultivated two dark spells to the peak.

One is one of the three basic magics of the shadow mage, trickery.

The other is the advanced magic of the Shadow Mage, Deceitful Sky Lock.

Whether it is trickery or sky lock, neither is offensive magic. Compared with those powerful destructive elemental magic, his magic seems not only tasteless, but also harmless.

That's exactly what it looks like on the outside.

But in the empire, it is not without reason that various systems like shadow mages.

Because they are elusive, whether it is performing assassination missions or protection missions, the success rate is often several times higher than that of mages with other attributes. Especially in wars, they can even assassinate mages of enemy countries without anyone noticing.

Well known.

The reason why mages are not afraid of professionals is that they can use strange or destructive magic for long-range attacks, and at the same time, mage shields and various defensive magics guarantee their safety.

However, many of the shadow mage's magics ignore the mage's shield and are concealed by themselves.

Even if you are a mage.

If you don't take precautions during the war, it is very likely that your throat will be cut by the shadow mage in the next second.

Nightingale is ready.

He picked up the dagger, and the spell-casting medium on his chest began to glow.

As long as Veigar opens the door.

He has already entered the dormant state by using tricks, and at the same time, he will release the sky lock to restrain Vega's mobility, and then slowly approach Veigar's body within the effective time when the sky lock disappears, and gently cut his throat.

Cat and mouse?

Then play cat and mouse!
He likes to look at the dying prey, showing the expression of panic and uneasiness when dying, especially the warm blood sprayed out when the throat is cut, which makes him unable to bear to watch it again and again.

Da da da--

This is the sound of footsteps.

Yes, it was the footsteps of prey.

Look.

The naive and stupid antelope is coming with easy steps, but he is the cheetah that has been lurking for a long time.

Nearly.

It's very close.

As an experienced hunter, he knew that he needed a little patience, otherwise even a little extra movement might scare away the prey that was about to fall into the trap.

3,

2,

Da da da--

Just when Nightingale was about to silently count to 1, there was another sound of footsteps.

Whose footsteps are these?
It was definitely not the footsteps of prey.

Turn your head.

He saw that his stupid teammate was coming to support him with a group of even more stupid trash.

teammate?

support?

Ah!
Assassins don't need teammates, they are solitary wolves, they are powerful because of their aloofness.

Sometimes, teammates just make the game harder for him.

Want to make an analogy?
The current situation is probably enough to prove everything.

boom.

Nightingale raised her hand and made a quiet gesture.

But it was too late, there was a cracking sound from inside the door.

----

Veigar frowned and walked to the door.

He didn't take any precautions, nor did he realize that this was a trap set by Nightingale.

He was even guessing what questions Bruno would ask him later, and how he should deal with Bruno so as not to make him suspicious.

Da da da--

This is his crisp footsteps.

There is no deliberate lowering, nor deliberate raising, it's just the usual footsteps.

near,

Very close to the doorknob.

1 seconds, 2 seconds...

His hand was already on the doorknob.

Just like meeting Oli before, this is just an ordinary action beforehand.

Although he didn't like Nightingale, and was even a little jealous of him, in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, he needed to open the door for this guy he hated, and greet him in as cordial a tone as possible.

This is really normal.

But in this third second, there was another sound of footsteps.

Da da da--

It didn't sound like a single person's footsteps, but like the footsteps of a team, no, a team of professionals.

Why would you guess all this through the door?
Because the bodies of professionals have been nourished by magic power for a long time, even when they are not using magic power, their physical fitness and strength are greater than that of ordinary people, and the usual footsteps are one of the most obvious characteristics.

Why is there a professional team?
In the blink of an eye, Veigar recalled the scene where the mage team downstairs blocked the exit.

Even law enforcement teams are not allowed to enter.

Now the footsteps of the professional team can be heard outside the door again, and even the shadow mage Nightingale is preparing to wait for him to open the door of the room. Isn't this all too coincidental?

Not to blame him for being paranoid.

It is understandable that there are one or two coincidences in the world, but when so many coincidences are added together, Naveigar has to think about whether this is a real coincidence or a deliberate premeditation against him.

Without any hesitation.

Vega immediately picked up the decorative vase on the cabinet by the door and threw it towards the window.

boom--

The vase and the glass window died together, falling downstairs.

Nightingale also crashed into the door of Vega's room immediately, but all she saw were the dilapidated windows and curtains blowing in the wind, other than that, the empty room.

"Humph."

First, she glared angrily at Oli, who led the professional team to support him, and then Nightingale immediately came to the window and looked outside.

This is the seventh floor.

Normally, except for wind mages, if they fall from such a high place, they will be injured even if they don't die.

Nightingale first looked towards the bottom floor.

When Veigar was nowhere to be found, he directed to Oli who was behind him: "Captain Oli, please use the level 2 temporary authority given to you by the director to immediately thoroughly investigate the 6th, 5th, and 4th floors of the General Administration of Law Enforcement. Don’t let go of any corners!”

"Yes."

Ole quickly agreed.

Then with a big wave of his hand, the professional team hurried out of the door after him.

Nightingale also jumped out of the window immediately after giving Oli instructions.

clack.

He landed steadily on the sixth floor, but he had already activated the trick.

According to Nightingale's guess, Veigar must have heard footsteps outside the door, immediately guessed that his identity had been exposed, and then escaped through the window, but the 7th floor of the Law Enforcement Bureau is more than 25 meters away, Veigar must have Did not fall on a tier.

In other words.

When Veigar jumped out of the window, the greatest chance of falling was on the 6th, 5th, and 4th floors, and even lower. Even shadow magicians and ordinary professionals could not escape the gravity of the center of the earth and forcibly change the direction of falling in the air.

According to common sense, it is indeed the case.

But after a few hours, Nightingale discovered that their group had turned the 6th, 5th, and 4th floors upside down, and there was no trace of Vega.

The only thing I'm lucky about now is.

Veigar did not escape from the General Administration of Law Enforcement, because the General Administration of Law Enforcement was completely blocked by the magician team.
