The great sage was connected to another transmission mirror that was brought into the throne room. This way, they could talk easily.
"Ah?!" The great sage widened his eyes and recognized both of them. The first would be the succubus queen while the other one was his soon-to-be teacher.
Albert hesitated for a mont and said, "I have decided to take you as my student for one condition."
The great sage remained silent, never expecting this to happen.
Albert didn't wait for him to react. He stated, "What kind of information do you have regarding the five human kingdoms?"
The great sage narrowed his eyes, realizing Albert's true aim. Since he wanted to get Albert's power, he decided to give a few hints. "Information about the braves, the movents of the five kingdoms, and the plans of the Risourin Kingdom, Sunar Kingdom, and Terrai Kingdom."
Albert thought for a mont and asked, "How about the Holy Kingdom and the rling Kingdom?"
"Not too much because they rarely appeared in the discussion."
"" Albert still wondered if this was wrong or not. "Where do you co from?"
"? Japan. The hero is from What's the country na again? Canada? Sothing like that." He answered while adding the hero information to tell him he knew sothing about Albert's identity.
Ultimately, Albert turned to Lilith and nodded his head, telling her they ca from the sa world.
"Then, what are you planning to do?" Lilith asked with a serious expression. "This is your decision. I'm not going to force you to do this."
"It's fine." Albert looked at the great sage for a few seconds before asking, "Why do you want my power?"
"I have the power of anis, mangas, and novels on my back. If I gain the power of bonk, no one can stop . For example I am the bonk of my sword. Abstinence is my body, and castity is my blood. I have!" The great sage began to chant sothing that was out of this world.
As soone who never watched ani, Albert didn't know what he was talking about. However, the great sage showed such a belief that he could do sothing like that.
If he let him continue, there might be so trouble for the guards watching over him. Hence, he stopped him. "Enough. I heard enough."
"" The great sage imdiately shut his mouth. He didn't want to ruin his chance after all.
"If I grant you this power, what will you do?"
"I'm going to follow you!" The great sage's expression brightened. "It's true that imitating ani is cool for , but if I can add to my repertoire, it will be perfect. After all, I use bonk at least ten tis a day!"
"" Albert thought for a mont and asked, "So, if I want you to give all the information you know"
"I don't mind giving it to you."
"How do I know the information is true?"
"Hmm?" The great sage tilted his head and glanced at Lilith. "Don't the succubus have the way? They have been trying to do sothing to "
Albert turned to Lilith and asked, "Is that true?"
"Yeah. We use our charm to hypnotize the prisoner to extract information. But his seal prevented us from doing so."
"If I tell you"
Before Albert even finished, the great sage had already answered. "I'll remove the seal."
"" Albert squinted his eyes, wondering if the great sage had an ulterior motive. It was too easy after all.
"But how do I know you will grant that power?" The great sage finally asked the question.
"Even if I don't agree to it, they will use torture. You shouldn't be able to endure it."
"My seal can fry my brain, so I won't be experiencing that torture. Nevertheless, I will simply die from that Not much of a problem since I have tried to commit suicide a few tis back on Earth."
"" Albert pinched the bridge of his nose and contemplated his choice. But the great sage's emotionless face kept telling him it was the truth. After a while, Albert asked inwardly, 'Bonkey? Can you do that for ?'
[Understood.]
[Processing.]
[Done.]
[Saruta Gin now has beco your student.]
After seeing the notification, Albert said, "Try to imagine a wooden bat appearing in your hand."
"" The great sage frowned and followed his instruction. Surprisingly, he found the bat that he always wanted appearing out of thin air. "This This is"
"This is just a trial. Proceed with the investigation first and I'll let you follow later. Saruta Gin."
When the ministers saw the great sage acquiring that power remotely, they were dumbstruck.
'He can grant soone power from afar?'
'Does that an he can even give the human kings this power even from here?'
'This power is so omnipotent'
'Did Her Majesty know about this beforehand and marry him for this reason?'
'No. With this kind of power, he is truly the Demon Lord.'
'He's the person we should follow.'
'That's right. He's the person who will unite the demons.'
The ministers had various thoughts in their mind, but it was clear they truly acknowledged Albert this ti.
While they were having their own fantasy, Gin looked around his bat. His smile beca bigger as ti passed. However, he soon found sothing absurd earlier.
"Eh? How do you know my na?" Gin widened his eyes before kneeling in front of the mirror. "No. That's not important. Does this an I have beco your student? Wait a minute How should I do this?
"Should I brew a tea for you and kowtow three tis? No, no. That's the wrong genre. How about kowtowing twelve tis? Not that too This is a Sword and Magic genre, so what should one do after beco"
"Just f*cking do it!" Albert raised his voice, annoyed. "I don't freaking understand what you're talking about!"
"Ah" Gin opened his mouth in surprise before making a wry smile, realizing that his master didn't seem to know anything about novels, anis, and mangas. "I understand. Do whatever you want to ."
Gin suddenly clapped his hands a few tis as a few chains suddenly appeared, circling his head. The chain soon fell down one after another until it was completely removed. "I'm done."
Albert glanced at Lilith, telling her to do it.
Since that was the case, Lilith ordered the succubus in there to hypnotize the great sage.
The latter followed every instruction the succubus gave and his eyes soon looked empty.
"Please, Your Majesty."
Lilith thought for a mont and asked, "What are the identities of the five braves? Your na and birthplace."
After getting hypnotized, Gin answered with a monotone voice. "The Hero's na is Jack Dredmond. He's from Canada. anwhile, I'm Saruta Gin, my given na is Gin. I'm from Japan.
"The Magic Empress is Natasha Fredmund from the UK. As for the saintess, she's called Hua Mingyue from China. Last but not least, the hunter he's Yesaulov Aleksei Georgiy from Russia."
"Well, diversity" Albert shrugged while stating, "Yes. We're from the sa world."
Lilith thought for a mont and asked, "Why did you co to the battlefield?"
"The three kingdoms had a discussion about sending the braves to the battlefield for the first ti so that we get used to fighting demons. Unfortunately, the Terrai Kingdom refused to send the Magic Empress. Even my Risourin Kingdom didn't want to send originally. Only because of the brave that the king reluctantly agreed."
"Who are you? What is your job? What is your power? How strong are you?"
"I'm Saruta Gin. My job is Sage. My core power comprises of three unique spells, Analyze, Reconstruction, and Magic Engineering. My current strength is supposed to be equal to a 5-Star Magician as long as it's a one on one battle but because my power is more related to research, my current strength is only equal to a 4-Star Magician."
Lilith thought for a mont and asked, "Was the information about your past true? What did you do in your previous world?"
"I was a nerd, who loved books. In school, I always tried to learn anything. After going ho, I would read so more books to imrse myself in it. Because of this behavior, I was ridiculed and bullied.
"If not because of my good grade, the treatnt would have been worse. Everything changed after Jack ca to my school as an exchange student. The treatnt started to beco worse that I gradually beca traumatized and turned into a NEET.
"That was where I truly began to read novels, comics, and anis. I just wanted to get so emotional support from them that I even laughed at bad jokes. Not long after, I started my career as a light novelist, but the haters kept insulting , treating like sh*t, and asking to kill myself even though I did my best to keep writing every single day for a year without a stop just to give them chapters to read.
"Just like the school, I received them every single day and eventually I beca depressed enough to try killing myself. The first attempt failed because the ceiling broke when I tried to hang myself. The second attempt failed because the height was enough just to break my bones.
"So, I continued my life and got hit by a truck when I returned from the hospital." The great sage shared his story with an emotionless face. Even though it was such a tragic story, Gin's expression simply told them that it was the past that he had left behind.
"" Even Albert couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.. Although their story was different, Albert could understand his feeling.
