My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 249: Devastating News

Aur pondered with a decisive expression, attributing the source of the assassins to the alchemist.

Other than them, he couldn't recall offending anyone who could deploy peak tier one wizards against him so readily.

Such individuals were already in the line of big-shots, just under the Elders in terms of power and influence.

"Muscle system."

Summoning his familiar blue panel once more, he focused on the skill section, which had now grown to 11.

The Elders have gathered in the office of the Village Leader, and the atmosphere is heavy and depressing.

The second elder looked at Noah with worry and asked, "What should we do now, Leader?" Noah had a calm expression on his face as he replied with a chuckle, "We wait until they reach here."

The Elders frowned when they heard this. Even the first elder had a strange expression on his face. "But-" the second elder began to say, but Noah interrupted him by shaking his hand. With a sigh, the second elder sat back down.

Noah looked at all the Elders and smiled, "Alright, I called you all here to share some good news with you. Today, our North Village has given birth to another Alchemist." His tone was filled with pride.

The Elders were momentarily distracted from the looming threat of the Beast Tide and asked in surprise, "Who is it, Village Leader?"

Noah pointed to the burly youth with white hair sitting in one of the seats. The Elders followed his gaze and looked at the youth with an expressionless face. "It's Elder Aur," Noah announced.

The second elder yelped in surprise and exclaimed, "An Alchemist!?" while looking at Aur with an astonished gaze.

Noah replied, "Yes, he had the talent to be an Alchemist, so I helped him a bit, and now he has become an Alchemist who can create potions right off the bat."

"One of our village's great blessings," one of the elders remarked happily.

However, the first elder interrupted and signalled to one of the elders, "Leader, you still haven't told us how we are going to solve the beast tide. Although it's a great blessing for our village, an alchemist cannot stop the beast tide, can they?"

Noah smiled and replied, "You are correct." He then turned to Aur and said, "Elder Aur, since you have become an Alchemist, ask whatever you want. I will do whatever I can to satisfy your demands."

"Thank you, Village Leader," Aur replied, standing up and bowing.

Noah then paused momentarily in thought before he spoke, "By the way, the crime rate in the village has gone up significantly, and even one of the instructors has been slain. We should take action against such things. How dare they bring disharmony to the village? So, I have ordered a thorough investigation into the details of this matter."

The Elders fell silent for a moment, contemplating the looming threat of the Beast Tide.

"Has the leader gone crazy? Why is this bastard thinking about trivial things when we are all going to die?" These thoughts resonated in unison, though nobody dared to speak them aloud.

However, Noah broke the silence by clapping his hands and smiling. "I have gathered some allies as well," he said.

The sound of footsteps approached the door, and people entered one by one.

Noah greeted them warmly, "Welcome, Aiken and the Landlord family head, who have come from far and wide to our humble village." He spoke in a tone that sounded as if he was meeting a long lost brother.

The people he addressed had varying expressions on their faces as they looked at all the Elders and Noah present.
