The Author's POV
Chapter 342
342 Taking the initiative[2]
"...I've got a way to stop the war."
A palpitating almost chilling silence enveloped the hall as everyone stared at Waylan in the middle of the room.
Before anyone could speak or voice out their objections, Waylan continued speaking.
"Yes, I know what you guys are thinking. Is he crazy? Is he out of his mind? Is he right in the head?…I'd also think the same if I were to be put in the same position as you all."
Waylan looked around before his eyes soon paused on Gernis, the Metropoliskeeper, and leader of the dwarfs.
"I know what I'm saying I absurd, but I really do have a way to end this war. You don't have to be-"
Unfortunately for Waylan, in the end, not everyone could keep themselves from voicing out their objections.
Standing up, one of the elders shouted.
"What n-"
"Quiet!"
A sharp voice echoed throughout the hall, cutting the elder off before he could formulate a sentence.
Glaring at the elder, Gernis solemnly said.
"I will nae permit any talking until he be done speaking."
His deep voice traveled through the ears of each individual present. A strong pressure came along the voice.
"...I apologize."
Reprimanded by Gernis, swallowing his pride, the dwarf apologized to Waylan who merely smiled in response.
Turning his attention back to Waylan, Gernis gestured for him to continue.
"Sorry for tha disturbance, ye may continue."
"Thank you." Waylan thanked. "As I was saying. I have a way to end this war. I know that you all must be doubting my words, hence why I came prepared."
Swiping his hand in the air, a scroll suddenly materialized out of nowhere.
"...What in the."
"A mana contract."
"Is that a mana contract?"
Everyone instantly recognized the scroll that appeared in Waylan's hands.
It was a mana contract.
Something that most individuals present in the hall had used once before, except the orcs of course.
"Correct."
Waylan said as he reached out for the contract in the air.
Grabbing the contract, he slowly unraveled it for everyone to see.
"Since none of you might believe me, I thought to myself. Is there a way to convince you guys that I'm not lying to you and that I truly know of a way to stop the war?"
Glancing at everyone in the room, Waylan flashed a smile.
"...Well, guess what? There truly is a way."
Waylan raised the hand that held onto the Scroll.
"This over here is the highest-ranked mana scroll that I could find. Meaning that it is of the highest rank available. If by any chance I breach the contract, according to the contract, I will instantly die, regardless of my rank."
As Waylan spoke, the eyes of the individuals in the room finally changed.
At the mention of the contract, the individuals who had previously treated this meeting as a mere joke finally had to change their stance.
The moment he took out the contract, they knew that this could no longer be a job.
