Mage Veja

Chapter 343 Answers
The answer is yes, not no.

After weighing the pros and cons, Veigar realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Rather, Veigar was trying his best to increase his favorability with this idea from the beginning.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world. If there is this banner of "orthodoxy and righteousness", then everything will be easily solved, even though it will make Vega lose the power managed by the empire.

But it's not completely irreversible.

Vega replied seriously to Shia: "As long as you don't give up, I am willing to marry you. Rather, this is what I have always wanted to say, but I just don't have the courage to express it."

Shia's frustrated expression instantly warmed up.

She opened a pair of shining eyes wide: "General Veigar, you... are you really willing to betray the empire for me, pledge allegiance to me, and become His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Dynasty?"

"The officer is willing."

Vega confirmed again: "But Your Highness, please don't announce this news to the public for the time being. I can swear to you. For Your Highness, I will definitely drive out the kingdom's invading army. After unifying the Holy Dynasty, I will propose to you openly."

Veigar looked at Shia expectantly.

This is the only way to get the best of both worlds, not only can temporarily gain Shia's 100% trust, indirectly hold the banner of righteousness and orthodoxy in his hands, but also temporarily not lose the command and status of the imperial army.

But this matter still needs to see Shia's answer.

If Shia asked him to leave the empire now and announce the news to the outside world, then Veigar would have to do the same, Veigar could still tell which was more important.The rules of the game at the upper level of the empire have been formed, and the room for improvement is limited. The dynasty is broken and then established, and the potential is of course immeasurable.

Shia did not disappoint Vega.

Although she wished to let the entire dynasty know the joy in her heart, she knew that she had to endure it now. These days, she was no longer an ignorant, somewhat willful princess of the dynasty.

So she nodded and replied: "Well, General Vega, Shia is looking forward to that day."

Saying so, Shia took a step forward.

She took off the nebula-like pendant on her chest, and placed it in Vega's palm: "General Vega, Shia has no other valuables on her body, so she took this pendant that she carried since she was a child as a token." Give it to the general, I hope the general will not forget the oath tonight."

"The next official will keep it in his heart."

At this moment, Veigar had the urge to cry, but of course it wasn't because he was moved by Shia's sincerity. After all, Veigar just wanted to take advantage of Shia's orthodox reputation, and it was unclear how much sincerity was involved in it.

What really touched Veigar was that he finally got the awakening potion he had dreamed of.

How many months?
More than a year, more than half a year.

It wasn't until today that he regained possession of a bottle of awakening potion.

If it wasn't for Shia who was still there, Vega would have smashed the pendant now, drank the awakening potion, and let himself officially enter the realm of lower-level professionals.At that time, what kind of Carol, what kind of star-level magician... Well, let's put aside the star position for a while, and it will probably be easy to defeat Carol.

Just when Veigar was intoxicated with the pendant in his palm.

A sense of warmth spread from the lips to the brain...

Shia gently kissed Vega's lips.

But the kiss broke apart with just a light touch, and Shia's eyes were a little timid: "This is the etiquette of royal engagement in the dynasty. I am very sorry for doing this without your consent..."

After finishing speaking, Shia shyly said good night and hurried into her tent.

What about Vega at this time?

He was thinking about whether this matter would be regarded as puppy love if it brought down the earth.

----

Veigar did not smash the pendant in the end.

Because there is no time for him to advance, and if he smashes the crystal pendant rashly, it is very likely that some awakening potions will be wasted. Saint Laurent will find professionals to do these things.

So on the evening of the second day, Vega and Shia returned to Saint Laurent City.

Their return did not surprise anyone.

Because Vega had issued a gag order, the two just entered the city secretly, in order not to let the civilians and the army know that he and Shia had left Saint Laurent for more than a month.

As soon as he stepped into the city, Veigar felt a different atmosphere.

The first is the pitted terrain near the city wall, and the strong smell of blood can't dissipate for a long time.

Secondly, the imperial soldiers were listless and desperate. Compared with Vega before leaving, the sharp momentum disappeared invisible.

Walking near the imperial army, Veigar could vaguely hear their conversation.

"You said, is the general really practicing in seclusion?"

"No, the news I got is that the general was assassinated and his life is dying."

"But how did I hear that the general used us to attract the attention of the Royal Army, and he sneaked across the river to escape."

"I've heard about it too."

"I don't believe it, how could the general abandon us?"

"..."

After hearing these rumors, Veigar was glad that he came back in time. If these rumors are allowed to ferment, once the morale of the army is shaken, Saint Laurent City may not be able to resist the next attack of the Royal Army.

And not just soldiers of the Empire.

Vega and Shia continued to move forward, and when they came near the City Lord's Mansion, he suddenly discovered that the army of dynasty recruits originally recruited in Shenghui City had gone on strike, and actually surrounded the City Lord's Mansion to ask to see Princess Shia.

In addition to these recruits, there are also civilians.

Some excited civilians even threw stones at the imperial soldiers guarding the city lord's mansion. The imperial soldiers also looked angry and wanted to pick up their spears and stab the perpetrator, but they seemed to have thought of something and fell silent again.

In the end, he had no choice but to close the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, Shia wanted to lift her hat to explain, but was stopped by Vega in time.

He shook his head at Shia and said, "Your Highness, please be calm, the time has not yet come."

"Well, I'll listen to you, General." Shia nodded obediently.

So when it was getting dark, Vega brought Shia into the Santo's Mansion, and now he couldn't wait to meet a group of officers, adjutant Yiluo, and Mennuo, the head of the navy.

Although it has been a long time, it is normal for mutiny to occur.

But under the condition of controlling public opinion, no one would dare to attack the soldiers of the empire, at best it would only make people panic.

Things are different now.

Veigar realized that the atmosphere in the city was definitely guided by some people, and this finally happened.

Settle outside first.

Veigar narrowed his eyes, intending to take this opportunity to take a good look at who is holding him back.

Maybe you can take this opportunity to erase all the discordant voices hidden in the depths.

Therefore, Vega gave up the idea of ​​meeting all the officers, and met with Adjutant Ilo alone, and settled down with Shia.Veigar only ordered Mennuo, the head of the navy, to come to see him, but none of the core officers who knew the inside story were called.

Veigar was already suspicious.

There must be an inner ghost in the city who is holding back and even wants to take the opportunity to seize power.
