Strange Worlds-Chapter 430: Central Magic City (2)

Is it because the next mayor was Mayor Hall’s descendants?

But even if they were related by blood, it was really hard to find someone with exactly the same face like this...

Moreover, Aya felt that the mayor in front of him was really familiar as if she had known him for a long time.

But it’s impossible.

It shouldn’t be like this...

"Aya?" Silas noticed Aya’s strange reaction right away and he frowned. He looked at the Mayor Hall in front of them and readied his hand to cast some instant magic in case it was necessary.

Mayor Hall looked at Aya and smiled faintly. "I hope you don’t start thinking about strange things, Little Girl."

"I’m not..." Aya took a deep breath.

"It’s impossible for two people to have exactly the same faces, same temperament, and same magic... You should have known it very well," Mayor Hall said calmly as he beckoned for the two of them to follow him to the meeting room. "If you have questions, you should have asked it clearly."

"Is there any time and space magic that could send someone from the future to the past?" Aya immediately asked.

Silas heard Aya’s question and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Sending someone from the future to the past.

Mayor Hall chuckled when he heard Aya’s questions. "Magic is called magic because it’s magical and unreasonable at the same time. To turn the impossible into possible, seeking the truth of the changes of the world, isn’t it why people study magic in the first place?"

Aya opened her mouth and then closed it again.

What is magic?

This question will have different answers depending on who was asked this question to.

For Aya, magic is the ability to use the power of the nature into her own strength and manipulate it in accordance to her will.

Why and for what? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

For her own strength...

In fact, Aya had never thought too much about this matter. She had learned magic ever since she was young and everything seemed to revolve around this matter. Magic was used in war and it was also used in various battles. But at the same time, there were also many magics that were used for their daily conveniences.

There were many types of magic.

And at the same time, there were also many varieties of magic that existed in the world.

Even if there were some rules about magic that many magic warriors followed, they would create their own magic in time. Just like how the magic chants themselves could be changed from time to time and there were many similar magic with different magic chants.

Because when they made the chants, it would depend on their own understanding.

Some people followed magic from their predecessor rigidly.

But some people broke away from the magic spells that were made by their predecessor and created their own magic.

It might end up being similar to the magic that had existed before.

But this magic spell they made was much more suitable for themselves compared to any magic spells from other magic warriors.

Because it was specially tailored for them.

"You don’t have to answer this question." Mayor Hall seemed to know that Aya and Silas were both troubled by this question.

Because Mayor Hall himself knew that he himself didn’t know the answer to this question.

What is magic?

He had his own understanding, yes, but this was not the universal answer.

"So for your question about whether that kind of magic exists or not, I think that you should be able to find it out by yourself," Mayor Hall added.

Aya nodded thoughtfully after she heard Mayor Hall’s words.

She didn’t know any magic spell that could do that so far, but it didn’t mean that it definitely didn’t exist. After all, there was a lot of magic that Aya didn’t know at all. If she truly wanted to know, then she would have to put in effort to figure it out.

Also....

"Since you said it like that, it means that you yourself don’t know about it?" Aya asked.

Mayor Hall shrugged. "Who knows?"

Aya: "..."

For some reasons, she felt that this mayor was very annoying.

But it seemed that this question was indeed not something that could be answered easily by Mayor Hall. After all, this was their first time meeting each other and Mayor Hall didn’t have any obligation to answer all of their questions either.

"Shall we sit down and talk now?" Mayor Hall sat down on the chair and beckoned for the two of them to sit down.

Aya and Silas both sat down and looked at Mayor Hall.

Come to think about it, they didn’t seem to know why Mayor Hall wanted to call them to see him.

"Mayor Hall, do you have any reasons why you want to see us? If I’m not wrong, this is the first time you have ever met us, right?" Silas asked first.

Mayor Hall nodded thoughtfully and said, "I have heard about your actions and I have to say that I’m very pleased."

When Aya and Silas destroyed a lot of ghost realms in the three cities’ area, the ghost masters were annoyed and some of them came to him for complaint. At that time, Mayor Hall only sneered at these ghost masters because he didn’t like them and felt that it was good for Aya and Silas to do this.

Because he didn’t want the other magic warriors to be involved in this matter, he let those ghost masters come and try to kill Aya and Silas.

Of course, none of them succeeded.

They all ended up dying in Aya and Silas’ hands.

"We’re not really doing anything worthy of praise." Aya said embarrassingly. If anything, she and Silas seemed to only fight and make trouble against those ghost masters.

Of course, the result was also quite satisfying because the two of them managed to advance to rank 8 very quickly. It was even faster than she expected.
