Mage Veigar

Chapter 22 Useless Kindness

Veigar's dagger stopped immediately.

Leah's voice was like a bucket of cold water falling from the sky, calming his restless heart back to normal.

When did you start to crave killing?
There was a flash of confusion in Veigar's eyes, and then it turned into determination.

Survival of the fittest. If I don't kill you, you will kill me. In this world where the law of the jungle prevails, it is not that he desires to kill, but that he has to kill in order to save his own life.

He's not wrong.

What is wrong is this world.

If everyone in this world could remain absolutely rational, then Kabinkadi would not blame him for killing Kadi. Instead, they would thank him for only killing Kadi, the main culprit. But they did not.

At the moment of Kadi's death.

Both Carlo and Carbin lost their minds and attacked him, and he was only prepared to kill them to protect himself.

Since he did nothing wrong, why did Leah ask him to stop?
If you don’t understand, don’t think about it.

He only knew that his current mission was to eliminate the target: "If it's Leah, then she will definitely understand me."

The dagger was raised again.

boom.

Before the dagger fell, Leah, who was running towards him, knocked him to the ground. Even the dagger fell to the ground. It was not that Vega couldn't dodge, but that he didn't want to dodge. He needed an explanation.

"Xiao Wei, why?"

Leah looked around in confusion, then hurriedly stood in front of the store manager and said, "It was obviously Brother Carlo and his family who saved us, why are you repaying kindness with hatred?"

"Because Kadi committed treason, according to imperial law, his entire clan should be punished."

Vega stood up again, somewhat afraid to look Leah in the eye, so he stepped back a few steps and said, "And my current identity is an imperial soldier. As an imperial soldier, I must eliminate those who have committed treason. This is my duty."

"But……"

Leah did not doubt Vega's words: "But Brother Carlo and his family have saved your life. You have already killed Kadi and Brother Carlo. Do you want to kill the store manager as well?"

"I've given them a chance."

Vega looked at Leah and said without question: "Since they don't know how to cherish their only chance, then they have already lost the right to live."

"Please give the store manager another chance."

Leah seemed a little agitated: "I can't watch you kill the store manager in front of me anyway."

“What if I say no?” Veigar’s voice was somewhat eerie.

Leah didn't say anything. She raised her hands stubbornly to protect the manager.

Her actions were obvious. She was determined to protect the store manager even at the cost of her own life.

Vega was silent.

He should have known that if Leah saw this, she would definitely stop him from killing anyone.

She is such a fool.

Even if it means sacrificing her own life, she would not stand by and watch the weak die. Unfortunately, she herself is not a strong person, so after saving others, she often has to bear the risk of losing her own life.

Just like that piece of brown bread ten months ago.

Even though she hadn't eaten for two days, when she saw Vega dying, she still chose to give the piece of black bread to Vega. She never considered that she might die if she lost the black bread.

Leia is such a kind person that everyone wants to save her.

But in a world like this that follows the law of the jungle, kindness is of no use.

No one will sing praises for your kindness. Some will only keep asking for more and be endlessly greedy. One day, they will even find ways to repay your kindness with hatred because they cannot get your favor.

Veigar despises useless kindness. Kindness will only lead to more fetters on oneself and bring about unnecessary disasters.

But he was saved by Leah, a kind angel. Strictly speaking, he was also a beneficiary of her kindness, so he would not kill Leah, even if he would be charged with dereliction of duty.

It is in the endless darkness...

Vega wanted to preserve this light.

He turned around.

He did not choose to kill the store manager, nor did he choose to keep Leah by his side.

Just as Vega chose to leave ten months ago, was it really because he didn't want to drag Leah down?
Perhaps it was because of the clear understanding of the darkness of this world that she chose to leave the kind-hearted Leah and go along with the corrupt world. Only by choosing to compromise with the dark world and abide by the jungle law of the world can one live a truly smooth life.

Different road non-phase plan.

Vega finally chose to let Carbin go. At the same time, he turned his back to Leah and said, "Leave here. This place will probably no longer exist in three hours. Leah, I wish your future will be filled with unfortunate beauty and tragic happiness."

But just then, Carbine moved.

He was so angry that he regarded Leah and Vega as birds of a feather. He picked up the dagger that fell on the ground and stabbed it directly into Leah's back.

boom.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Leah's mouth and she fell to the ground.

Vega shuddered, as if he had guessed something.

He turned around with difficulty, his eyes a little hazy, and the world seemed to stop at this moment.

The light disappeared.

Is it true that there is no room for a ray of light in this dark world?

Vega didn't know.

He walked towards Leah step by step, like a walking corpse.

With a wave of his hand, Carbine, who was trying to shake a tree like a mayfly, flew backwards.

He squatted down and gently held Leah in his arms: "Liya, you are wrong. Kindness itself is a mistake."

"This world has no room for kindness."

"Kindness only brings disaster. Just like Carlo took you in, you saved me, and I spared Carbin, everything is caused by kindness."

"You want to save everyone, but who will save you in the end?"

Vega just sat on the ground holding Leah in his arms. "Leah, I was wrong. It was my kindness that killed you. Kindness is really useless. Trash should be buried in the darkness."

Veigar stood up again.

He walked towards Carbine, his eyes expressionless: "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me. It was not until this moment that I truly understood the meaning of this sentence, but... it is too late."

A head flew up.

The dagger returned to Vega's hand, and he carefully wiped it clean and put it on his body.

Regret?
Of course he regretted it. If he had not chosen to retain the last bit of kindness at that time, but chose to kill Carbin directly, then Leah would not have died. It was his kindness that killed Leah, and it was also Leah's kindness that killed herself.

But there's no use regretting.

It is inevitable for humans to make mistakes, but the reason why humans are superior to other animals is that they can correct their mistakes. Vega has already realized his mistakes.

This is a dark world of decay.

You want to survive.

Either have the power to subvert the world, or bury the useless kindness.
