Chapter 356 The Tell...

Andar clasped his hands as a sign of respect to him and the Mayor beamed.

His gambit had worked, for it would be supremely difficult to enter Andar's good graces after this early period, and if he could provide any assistance that he might need at this time, he would be able to sow a seed of Karma with him, and in the future, a careless word of praise from Andar could elevate his town to the heavens.

It was the reason he had also sent his daughter ahead to meet Andar, he hoped she was able to get closer to him. They were the same age and she would also be proceeding to the Black Tower but she already had a master, and she would be skipping the trials. Relationships forged with such a talent like Andar would aid her greatly.

Andar went to his Master's side and bowed to him, looking at the other official Mage too, he also bowed.

The Mage smiled at him and turned to his Master, "Master Jonathan when they told me about the magnificent nature of your Apprentice, I thought it was mere compliments, but I see that the words do not do him any justice, he is a Titan among men. There is a reason the light blessed him with such a glorious talent."

His master smiled, "Thank you for your kind words Silas, he is a bit who still has the smell of milk around his body, don't overly praise him so his head would not fly off his shoulder. Please let all be seated, for today is a great day for Ikaron and all the mages, for a great star has risen among us."

Andar blinked. I thought my master wanted me to be humble.

His master turned to him, pointing at the seated figures " These are the representatives of the Black Tower here to collect candidates for the trials. They have come a long way, and your Awakening has drawn them here. The Rank 3 Mage here is Silas Wilsey and his younger brother disciple Daniel Redcliff, a Rank 3 Acolyte."

Andar stood and clasped his hands towards both of them as greetings, making sure he bowed when he greeted the Mage.

They both acknowledged his greeting with a smile, he noticed that the Acolyte's lips were white and his eyes were wild with a hidden mania, his rapid blinking eyes did not help his image, and it was impossible to hide the intense amount of jealousy, fear, and other negative emotion he tried to hide.

This boy wants to die.

Apparently frustrated with his communication device, he then called out, "Excuse me, Master Jonathan, but do you have any issues receiving and sending messages? I have been attempting to reach my Master, the esteemed Archmage, but for some reason, I can not get through to him."

"Oh is that so?" Jonathan Melbrook scratched his nose, "I am having the same issue as well. This is a constant problem we have been having in this part of the world. I have sent my complaint countless times to the communication ministries but for some reason, their response is slow or nonexistent, but don't worry, such downtime would not last for long and it will be fixed, say in three hours from now."

Andar had lived with his Master long enough to know that when he scratched his nose, it was a tell that he was lying.

Silas cursed, "I will have those stupid bureaucrats strung up by their tendons! There are important reasons why Off Worlds Communication Arrays have to be properly maintained." _{freēwēbnovel.com}

He turned to Andar and coughed, "This should be coming directly from my Master but due to the present circumstances we find ourselves, I will have to make do. Andar what do you know about the Trials to enter the Black Tower?"

Andar concentrated and replied, "It is a trial held to determine worthy participants for the Black Tower, inside the Trial Zone there would be chances to find specialized training manuals for Acolyte, also the Aether inside the Trial Zone is very dense and would increase the chances for participants to breakthrough to Acolyte."
