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.
