Chapter 487: Suggestion

Chapter 487: Suggestion



Everyone present in the room was taken aback. Throughout the entire conversation, the mayor had been very adamant in his stance about not calling for more reinforcements.

But now all of a sudden, it seemed like something inside the old man had abruptly switched. A few Magi present thought that something was amiss.

They couldn't help but begin to wonder if the mayor was messing with them.

"Mayor, you... are you sure?" Asked the lead Magus.

"Of course, I am," said the mayor matter-of-factly. "Didn't you just suggest that we get a Mana Liquefaction Magus to lead us into the heart of the Weeping Woods and resolve the problem at the core?"

"Uh, yes... I did." The Magus nodded with a weird expression on his face.

"Well, that's exactly what we're going to do," the old mayor stated. "As long as the problem is not completely uprooted, I have a feeling that the wolf tide may never stop attacking us." The people present in the room glanced at each other with strange looks.

Has the old man finally gone senile? They had the same thought.

But regardless of what they thought, this was certainly good news that there would be more reinforcements coming to this town. If they had a Rank 2 Magus with them, they were sure that they could conquer the wolf tide.

Moreover, when they thought of the secrets and treasures that lay in the depths of the Weeping Woods, they couldn't help but get excited.

They weren't clueless men. They knew that there was something special about the dark woods that could produce an endless horde of wolves that systematically attacked the town once every month.

"Hahaha!" The cyan-robed Magus laughed out loud. "I knew you'd see reason in our proposal. As expected of you, Lord Mayor."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"You all may leave now," the old mayor displayed a polite smile. "Rest assured, I'll send word about requesting the assistance of a Mana Liquefaction Magus. Let us hope that they can arrive here before the next night of full moons."

The mercenaries and Magi bid farewell to the mayor and left the room with expressions of relief and enthusiasm.

"Second only to the founder, Magus Stratford!"

Mayor Hobbs's eyes glazed over slightly, his thoughts becoming foggy as Adam's enchantment took hold.

He nodded slowly and repeatedly, the image of a secure and grateful town filling his mind. "Yes... perhaps, you are... right. For the safety of my people... I must do this...."

Adam's lips slowly curled up into a smile. He jumped down from the window ledge and walked up to the table, leaning against it and glancing at the old mayor.

"Indeed. You've chosen wisely. Your decision will ensure the town's survival and prosperity." Adam paused for a moment before adding, "Now you know what you must do, don't you?"

"I will call for reinforcements immediately...." The mayor reached for a quill to draft a letter, his movements almost mechanical.

Rank 2 Spell: Suggestion!

This spell belonged to the School of Enchantment. The caster would suggest a course of activity and magically influence a sentient being who can hear and understand them. Technically, the words spoken by the caster were only limited to a sentence or two. But with the help of the white lotus, Adam was able to bypass this restriction and even make the spell

more potent.

However, the suggestion had to be worded in such a manner that it made the course of action sound reasonable.

Asking the target to kill themselves or jump off a cliff obviously wouldn't work.

Seeing the mayor draft the letter stating that the town required the assistance of a Rank 2 Magus to help deal with a beast tide, Adam nodded to himself.

He was sure that the mayor had his own information network that he would use to send this letter and get assistance in the fastest time possible.

After the mayor had finished writing the letter, Adam's eyes narrowed, the white lotuses in

his pupils shining brighter than ever.

"Now tell me, what lies hidden underneath this town?"
