Chapter 9: Hidden Sage

Chapter 9: Hidden Sage

"Mi-lord, there-e had been minor-r misha-ap here." Diana stuttered as she tried to stand straight and regained control of herself. Finally, she managed to force a smile, which looked even worse than her crying face. "I apologise for disturbing you again."

Diana was a proud and fearless woman, so even though she was an angel serving under her lord, she preferred to be independent and not always reliant on Aucuses, like Lucas. She wished to grow in strength and progress further in her own path.

So, she really hated herself when she caught with up situations like this again and again, and believe her, she makes blunder quite frequently.

So much so, she wondered if she had been targeted by that eccentric snake of mercury, who has a very dark heart despite having the appearance of a innocent boy.

Aucuses sighed after looking at her state with complex eyes. He waved his hand, and a table with two chairs appeared in front of them.

Diana and her lord were now sitting in the chair, despite the fact that they had previously been standing. She began rubbing her temples, as she felt the sequelae.

Despite the fact that her lord mostly healed her, she still had some lingering effects from what happened.

It was truly horrifying to have knowledge and information forced on you.

To put it another way, Diana felt as if someone had squeezed all the knowledge and forcefully twisted it into her mind, it was as though a sharp object had been pierced right into her temple and inserting it right into her brain, followed by a twist.

Now, an aroma assaulted Diana's nose, jolting her out of her trance.

"Drink this." Aucuses passed a cup of hot tea that smelled grassy and light. "It might help you regain control of yourself."

Diana didn't think much as she took the cup in her hands and took a sip almost immediately.

Her dizziness in her head immediately subsided, and her spirit was revitalised. Her mind and vision became instantly clear, and the sequelae she was experiencing were washed away.

Diana stared at the tea, as if she couldn't believe what had just happened.

"What is the recipe, Milord?" Diana said that out loud, without giving a second thought.

Aucuses responded with a new question. "Do you think it's good?" He brewed the tea himself, so his divinity also slightly affected the tea, that is also why it so effective for her. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Yes, it's the best tea I've ever had." Diana responded quickly, and she didn't hold back on her complaints, assuming that the tea was most likely made by her lord.

"Well, you can pray to me after that, and I'll give you the recipe." Aucuses said with a smile. "Now, let's get to the point, shall we?" His smirk faded as he said this, giving way to a solemn expression.

Diana was also aware of the gravity of the situation, so she refrained from making light of it as she had previously.

"Yes, Milord." Diana nodded, "Just a moment." She spoke solemnly after raising her hand to her head and touching her temple with her index finger.

"That was the hermit uniqueness." Aucuses responded calmly, as if the incident didn't bother him in the least.

"Uniqueness." Diana's eyes widened, as she was taken aback by the fact that what had instilled her knowledge was the uniqueness itself.

However, this confirmed her previous feeling, as hermit uniqueness does indeed embody the knowledge.

"However, uniqueness should not be able..." Diana's expression has become somewhat perplexed.

Her understanding of uniqueness was limited, but she still knew that uniqueness should not behave in that manner unless someone is behind it or there is a problem with the uniqueness.

"There is, in fact, a problem with uniqueness." Aucuses confirmed it, as if he could see right through her mind.

Aucuses confirmed a lot of things, and the eye is linked to hermit uniqueness. However, it has not yet evolved into what it will be like in the future.

The uniqueness seemed to be in a strange state; it couldn't be considered living, but it also has some weak consciousness in it.

After seeing that eye, he knows that hidden sage will be born soon. But, the situation should be still somewhat salvageable.

Diana, on the other hand, was experiencing a great deal of emotional turmoil when she heard her lord's confirmation. After all, she was an angel of the hermit pathway; this situation was bound to affect her again, and she couldn't always rely on her lord to save her.

"You don't need to be concerned." After seeing her worried expression, Aucuses said.

Diana pressed her worried heart after hearing his reassurance, and in her mind, she was also planning a way to deal with the situation.

"Would you like to accompany me?" Aucuses asked abruptly, as he stood up from his seat.

"Of course," Diana says, while she pushed her worries and thoughts to the back of her mind.

And, her face became a little excited. Her lord will not simply ask her to accompany him without a reason. When she accompanied him before, she had a bountiful harvest.

"Take my hand." Aucuses extended his hand to her, she immediately complied.

"Milord, where are we going?" Diana finally asked after she had calmed down.

"We are going to meet the famed artisan and then pay a visit to the Moseic Ascetic Order." As he spoke, Aucuses smiled. He then turned around and looked Diana in the eyes. "After all, they must pay for what occurred here." He stated rather calmly.

Aucuses then chuckled as he looked at Diana, who was too shocked and terrified to speak.

Their figures became illusory and vanished from the tower and with their departure, the frozen reality under his order was restored.
