Strange Worlds-Chapter 432: Central Magic City (4)

Hearing this shocking request, Aya frowned. "Why do you think I can deal with the ghost king?"

"I know you can." Mayor Hal didn’t explain any further.

"Why did you not deal with the ghost king yourself?"

"Because I can’t do anything but to suppress it," Mayor Hall replied frankly. He didn’t seem to be worried for them to know the situation of the ghost king and what he has been doing over the years.

If the ghost masters were to know that the strongest ghost was actually being suppressed by Mayor Hall, it was estimated that they would come here and make trouble. because what they wanted the most was to swallow the ghosts so that they could become stronger.

This matter should be Mayor Hall’s secret that he had kept for himself.

Perhaps only a very small number of people ever know about this matter.

Aya looked at Mayor Hall and her eyes narrowed.

"You trust me a lot, Mayor Hall. Even though this is the first time we meet with each other, but you seem to have no defense at all when talking with me."

Mayor Hall smiled. "If I want you to make a move to help me, I need to talk this much . Otherise, I don’t think you will be willing to help me."

Aya pursed her lips.

Silas listened to their conversation and felt that he had heard something outrageous. No matter how powerful the two of them were, they were nothing more than rank 8 magic warriors. Mayor Hall is one rank higher than them and he was also at the highest position in the ninth rank.

There were a few other rank 9 magic warriors in Central Magic City but none of them could possibly defeat Mayor Hall.

Be it a frontal battle or it might be a tricky battle, Mayor Hall had the advantage.

But it was precisely such a person who was at the highest position who came to Aya and asked her to help him...

Silas felt that he truly couldn’t understand Mayor Hall.

"I’ll take your offer." Aya took a deep breath. "While I don’t understand why you have so much trust and confidence in me, but I do need those books."

Compared to resources such as mana crystals and so on, Aya valued the books about runes and alchemy more. Because if it was the magic crystals, she could easily obtain them through selling some of her potions or worked to make some formation with her ability.

It wouldn’t take that much time for her to obtain enough mana crystals for her to advance to rank 9.

But it was not enough for Aya.

Because she would need to make her own magic and construct her own magic within her body to be able to advance to rank 9.

Yes, magic warriors have to make their own magic to advance to rank 9.

It was also because of this that not many magic warriors could reach rank 9 even if they were talented. Some of them who managed to reach rank 9 in the end were already at the end of their lives. It was because they had to spend so much time constructing the magic suitable for them to advance to rank 9.

Rank 9 is a very special rank.

So special that if the magic warriors were not careful enough, it was not impossible for them to die in the process of advancing from rank 8 to rank 9.

It was precisely because of this risk that many magic warriors would rather settle staying at rank 8 and never tried to advance to rank 9 even if they ran out of time. Because if they were not capable enough to construct their own magic and realize their magic with their own life, then it would be impossible for them to advance in their entire life. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

It was really miserable.

To know that there was another rank above them but they could not reach it because they lacked qualification or abilities.

"Good." Mayor Hall smiled and turned to look at Silas beside Aya.

"I don’t think you plan to give me the same offer as her," Silas said quietly.

He could see that from the very beginning, Mayor Hall’s attention was all on Aya.

It seemed as if he wanted her to be the only one to listen to his request and he was only being dragged in because he was close to Aya and had been following her for a long period of time.

"No." Mayor Hall shook his head. "If it’s possible, I also hope that you can advance to rank 9 and assist her... Besides, what I can give you is just the dark source."

Dark source.

Silas’s breathing turned sharp for a moment before he forcefully calmed himself down. For any dark element magician, the dark source could be said to be the best material for them to advance through ranks quickly.

In the past few years Silas has been practicing hard and also focused on his dark element.

But he seemed to be unable to defeat Aya and has always been a bit slower than her.

"The dark source should be much more valuable than that," Silas said quietly.

As much as he wanted the dark source, he also knew that what Mayor Hall requested from him was not equivalent with the value of the dark source.

Mayor Hall chuckled. "If you can help her, that’s already the biggest result I could ask from you."

Is it?

"So, are you willing to take it?"

"... Yes!"

...

Aya and Silas were staying in Mayor Hall’s mansion temporarily.

After all, many of Mayor Hall’s books were not something that should be shown to public.

Mayor Hall drank the tea in front of him leisurely, seemingly not caring about the ghost realm that he has been keeping secret.

"Master... are you sure that they can solve the ghost realm?" A middle aged man came out and looked at Mayor Hall worriedly.
