Chapter 548: Constantine



After the members of the Brotherhood emerged from the underground ruin, Kenley and Wagner went toward the place where all the townsfolk had huddled together.

They were looking at the large crater which once used to be their home with sorrowful eyes. Many of them had started weeping out loud seeing the scene before them.

Kenley comforted them, saying that a new town would be built upon these ruins and that the construction would be fully financed by the Magi present here.

Not just that, the townfolk would also be compensated for any loss that they had incurred from the destruction of the town.

This news certainly uplifted their mood, however, the destruction of their homes was still heavily weighing down on them.

After all, they were born and brought up in this town just like their parents and their grandparents before them. Seeing their place of birth in ruins was extremely despairing. Kenley's wife, Rayna, stepped forward and wisely shifted their attention toward another narrative.

That the destruction of the town was a result of a legendary battle between the wicked werewolf, Stratford, and the righteous Magus, Adam Constantine.

She told them how the werewolf had poisoned each and every one of them through the years, and how Adam had worked diligently in order to create an antidote for them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Many of the townsfolk here remembered how Adam had selflessly stood up for them in the middle of the Weeping Woods when Stratford was slaughtering them.

In times of despair, people needed a hero. And that is exactly what they got.

Filled with newfound hope and optimism, the group of refugees walked toward a certain area of the crater where Adam was.

He was sitting on a boulder, being medically tended to by the wood spirit, Yavia. Around him, were his familiar, Valerian, and his three students.

Yavia, who was wrapping the Red Adenium plaster around Adam's hand, suddenly sensed a large number of people coming toward them.

She looked in their direction and grumbled, "What do they want? Can't they see I'm working?"

"Hold on a moment, Yavia," Adam said softly.

He looked at Kenley and Rayna, who were leading this large group of people, and asked curiously, "What is it? Is everything okay?"

The group didn't speak a single word. Instead, they got to their knees and humbly kowtowed before Adam.

"We thank you, Lord Constantine!!"

Adam, his three students, and Yavi had their eyes wide open. The scene of over two hundred people getting on their knees and worshipping someone truly shocked Adam's squad.

be stunned.

"My Lord, we wish to name the town after you...

"We wish to name it Constantine!"

Adam's expression turned extremely grim. He looked at Rayna and stated, "I don't think you all have thought this through. In my journey as a Magus, I'm bound to make many enemies.

"If any of them, by chance, happen to learn of the connection between me and this place, they would go to great ends to cause harm to it.

"The world of Magi seems mystical from the outside, but it is truly an unscrupulous world. So I cannot allow you all to do that."

Rayna felt silent, unable to come up with a reply. Right at that moment, the townsfolk behind

her erupted in cheers.

"We are alive only because of you!"

"This is the least we can do!"

"My Lord, please give us permission!"

"We don't care how many of your enemies we have to face!"

"We will forever be loyal to you!"

"We will fight for you!"

One by one, the townsfolk seemed to have received great courage and they began chanting

simultaneously.

"Constantine! Constantine!"

"Constantine! Constantine!"

Adam was speechless. He didn't know how to even react.

He even felt that if he refused them again, then these people might even gang up on him!
