《Epic of The Demonic Sage 》Chapter 61: Wine And A Few Grains Of Epiphany
Advertisement
Alcohol had always been a substance that has entranced mankind. It has been brewed since ancient times and even animals were not averse to it, feeding on rotten fruits to gain the same effect.
Lucius had seen the dietary habits here and knew most people drank wine, along with their meals. He had also seen the servants eat and even they drank wine with it, unlike something like beer.
Lucius read more and realized that beer production, or rather any alcohol that was made from grains, was not produced in the region. What little amounts did come here was from the other regions.
'Is the grain production really this low here?' Lucius wondered.
He searched this up and discovered his guess was indeed true. While the soil in the territory was decent for growing fruits and vegetables, the amount of grains that grew here were less relative to them.
The meager amount that was produced was only enough to feed the people of the territory, but not enough to stockpile as surplus. There were even times when the territory had to import grain from other lands.
The chief grain that grew here was wheat with a few coarse millets that were mostly used as animal feed. Though poor peasants still ate it sometimes. Another thing that caught Lucius's eyes was the type of wheat that grew here.
It was especially mentioned that the wheat that grew in the land of Etara was of a tougher variety and was harder than other types that grew outside the territory. It was now that an idea suddenly stuck Lucius.
"Can it be?…" Lucius muttered to himself.
"NO! I need to see it for myself." Lucius said out loud.
Kiana was startled by this and looked in shock.
"What's the problem, Asher?" She questioned.

"Quickly, take me to the kitchens. I need to check something." Lucius said.
"O-okay, but why?" Kiana said, as she opened the door of the library.
"I'll explain to you later," Lucius said before rushing out.
Kiana took him through the many corridors before they finally reached the kitchen of the mansion. The kitchen was rather big and was able to handle the food production of a thousand people easily. But right now it only fed a couple hundred, which included the guards and the servants of the Inanis family.
Lucius saw the large ovens that were built in the walls themselves and the sacks of grains that were kept near it. The servants who were working in the kitchen were also a bit surprised upon seeing him and wondered what their young lord was doing here.
"Do you need food, my lord?" A woman who was wearing a long apron covered with stains asked.
Lucius paid her no attention for now and just went to the sacks of grains and opened one of them, finding wheat seeds lying in it. Lucius narrowed his eyes upon seeing them and picked up a single grain from it.
He looked at it closely and could see the faint Grey specks that were present in its normal wheatish brown color. He then looked at a floured pan on one of the counters and saw that its color was also a bit different from normal flour.
Finally he grabbed a few seeds of the wheat and put them in his mouth, chewing them.
"Y-young lord! Why…" The cooks and the servants were confused by the actions of Asher and did not know why he was behaving like this.
'Why is he eating raw wheat? If he wants food, he can just tell us.' They all thought.

Asher though, was thinking something completely different. As soon as he chewed the wheat seeds a few times, he realized his wild thought was true.
"Its… stone wheat… but how… in this world too?" Lucius muttered to himself.
Lucius's mind went to his past world's memories. It wasn't of any significance to him back then, and it was just some interesting fact that he had learned.
In the world of Revelia, the various powers would often go on expeditions to the other planes and worlds that they discovered. Whenever the coordinates were discovered and they were considered to be stable, the first priority of every power was to check it out.
Lucius himself had been part of a couple of such expeditions, but it wasn't to any significant worlds. They were just some minor planes that had been discovered by the Barrom clan that were said to contain some useful herbs and plants.
It even had a native population of humanoid creatures living which looked quite similar to humans. These creatures were surprisingly welcoming to the people who came for the expedition and even went back with them later on.
They became one of the many races that joined the world of Revelia. But it was not those creatures that Lucius was thinking of, but rather their food. These creatures also did agriculture and grew grains.
One of these very grains was none other than the stone wheat that Lucius ate. For him, this discovery was massive as it added another link between his old world and this world.
Lucius's brain started firing and he quickly analyzed the possible reasons behind the existence of this grain.
'That plane was not the only one where the stone wheat was found, if I remember correctly. Even the Tharian theocracy found a few small worlds that had the presence of the same type of wheat.
Even this information was only revealed to the world, including the Barrom clan, because it was deemed to be of little importance. Considering this, there is a great chance stone wheat is a type of multi-world plant species.' Lucius thought.
Lucius finally came to the conclusion that even if his old world and this world were not directly connected, there was probably another world that formed a common link between those two.
Otherwise, there was no way the stone wheat would propagate to different worlds. But after all this was done, Lucius suddenly smiled.
"This will work... It will need time and planning… but it will work… I'll make sure of it."
