"Grandpa Sage! So you really are home!" [Teliara]
"My granddaughter is getting more beautiful as time goes by" [Joseph]
"I'm not a little child anymore! Stop treating me like one!" [Teliara]
"That doesn't sound convincing... You're happy when you hear the news" [Myle].
"And do you have a problem with that? I want him to teach me more! I can't wait to show you all my research!" [Teliara]
"Sure. Anything for my only granddaughter" [Joseph].
"Stop treating me like a child! I already told you!" [Teliara]
"Really not convincing..." [Myle]
The two have their little reunion. Teliara is the only granddaughter and living relative that Wandering Sage has, and vice versa. The reason Teliara wanted to outwit Wandering Sage so badly is to show her grandfather that she's perfectly fine and able to take care of herself. Well, the Wandering Sage's habit of going around goddess-knows-where is also one of the reasons (according to Sir Arthur) that Teliara was able to achieve independence.
A room where the Round Table of Amleth gather. Whenever the wandering sage is back home, everyone, young and old, nobled and commoner, swarms around him, trying to get what little wisdom they can, and rightly so. He is a sage after all! I even showed him my Genesis magic when we were on our way back from Philip to Amleth, and he's already working on how to replicate it with a magical tool that will also help me improve my Genesis magic. So far, I can only use the Genesis Constellation Genesis Magic, so I hope to expand it further! A new spell under Genesis Magic is a much-needed upgrade.
"So many people outside... A sage is truly in demand" [Tiara].
"Even more than I am" [Merlin].
"Nonsense, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be a sage in the first place" [Joseph].
"Humble as always. I wonder where you get that from" [Merlin]
"Definitely not from you... OUCH!" [Princess Siti]
Don't think. Don't think about anything. Master Merlin instinctively looks at me, and I'm sure she's ready to pinch me either through telekinesis or witch art. She's definitely the most humble witch on the continent. There's no one more humble than her!
"OUCH! Meanie!" [Diana]
That pinch really hurt! Still, I remember Master Merlin teaching the wandering Sage some witch art when the wandering sage was just a little boy, but just the basics. He expanded on it later himself. Not to the level of a true witch, but still respectable enough.
"I'm glad to see you healthy, Your Highness" [Joseph].
"Knowing you, you already know what happened. I am no longer queen of this land" [Ophelia].
"True, but my respect for you is still there, along with Her Highness Queen Amleth herself" [Joseph].
Now that Aunt Amleth and the other are here, we can officially begin the Round Table of Amleth. As usual, a barrier of the highest level is being used so that no one can spy on this meeting. What is said in this roundtable is known only to us, and only to us.
"Likely invasion again... As expected" [Nar].
"I was hoping that wasn't the case when Wandering Sage told us" [Linda].
It all begins when the Elder Giant, after once again emerging victorious against a group of other giant tribe. This battle took place in the land of Xianxia. The battle wasn't that important, as it proved again and again how strong and powerful the Elder Giant is compared to the others. That's when the two met by chance.
A giant is a nomad who is in touch with nature and can see things that others can't. Just like fairies are able to sense the malice and bad intentions of others, just like dwarves are able to perceive bad or good stone, just like elves are able to tell which vegetable is more delicious, it's kind of their thing.
The wandering sage wanted to investigate something. He said that he had received news of a new Imperial troupe here in Xianxia, with a very high-ranking noble. Of course, his investigation went smoothly, but what he didn't expect at that time was
"The Prime Minister of Xianxia, Mr. Ling, and His Highness Prince Rufus himself!" [Kara].
"That's a strange combination..." [Mara]
"I can't imagine those two ever being together" [Duke of Fortress]
"Please, continue. I am now filled with nothing but curiosity" [Duke of Lion]
