《Epic of The Demonic Sage 》Chapter 178: Opportunity To Visit The Grand Repository Of Etara
Advertisement
With the revelation, Lucius and Kiana had a lot to think about now. Even priest Maleck didn't know what the next step should be. But after about five minutes of silence, he decided to speak up.
"I know Young Lord Asher does not want his gift to be revealed as of now and wants to keep it a secret. But I do recommend that the Young master let his gift be recorded in the grand repository of Etara." Priest Maleck said.
Lucius thought over it and didn't know if it would even be worth it. But he still decided to inquire a bit more.
"Priest Maleck, if I were to record my gift at the Grand Repository, will I get a chance to look at the other gifts? I've heard that the records at the Grand repository of Etara are vast and contain a lot of knowledge." Lucius replied.
"Of course, Young Lord Asher. The Grand Repository of Etara has one of the biggest, if not the biggest library in the world. The records contained within it are not something that could be found elsewhere.
And if Young Lord does chooses to record his gift at the Grand Repository, I'm sure the overseers would not mind rewarding you. If it is just the knowledge about gifts you want, it should be given to you without much problem.
Though you would have to record your gift at the Grand Repository first." Priest Maleck answered.
Hearing this, Lucius was intrigued. There were a lot of mysterious things about the Grand Repository of Etara that he did not know of. The Grand Repository was basically the headquarters of the faith of Etara.
All the high leveled clergy of the church lived and worked there. Every scholar in the world was considered to be a follower of Etara and wished to pay a visit to the Grand Repository.

It was a shame that vesting the Grand Repository was easier said than done. A place as sensitive and important as this was not something even the clergy of the church could access easily, not to mention outsiders.
The security there was probably the hugest in the world, similar to that of the other cathedrals of the gods or even the royal palace of the Grantz kingdom. One must not forget that the artificers guild was technically affiliated to the church of Etara and a lot of high level members of the clergy were also the members of the Artificer guild.
One could imagine the number of defensive artifacts that would be present around the Grand Repository, protecting it from any harm. Lucius had been wanting to go to the Grand repository as well and had asked Gabriel if it would have been possible.
At that time, there was no way for him to do so, but now an opportunity had presented itself.
"I'll think about it, Priest Maleck. If I feel like the time is right, I'll record my gift at the Grand Repository of Etara." Lucius spoke.
"As you wish, young lord. Whenever you want to get there, just inform me and I'll send an official message to the Grand repository about a new gift." Priest Maleck replied.
Lucius nodded his head and gave the official greeting of a noble.
"Thank you for your help, Priest Maleck. I shall take my leave now." Lucius said before turning around and leaving the Appraisal hall along with Kiana.
They quickly boarded the carriage and set off for the Mansion. While in the carriage, Lucius looked at his hand and spoke.
"Do you think Priest Maleck is trustworthy with this information, Kiana?" Lucius questioned.
"Yes, he is. Not only is he an honorable man, but he is also bound by the oath of goddess Etara. While the Goddess has dominion over knowledge and wisdom, lying goes against the doctrine of 'truth' and thus he will not be able to lie." Kiana answered.

Lucius nodded his head, pleased with the answer he got from Kiana. He had already known that the Priests of Etara cannot lie as they are bound by oath, but he still asked Kiana to see what the perspective of a second person was like.
Plus, learning that there can be new gifts that the church did not have recorded made Lucius wonder if he could take further advantage of it. He knew that he could upgrade a gift and keep on doing it till he was limited by the gift itself, or the lack of resources.
He also knew that there were millions of gifts in the world, the majority of which were at the common rank. If he could keep on upgrading the common gift, Lucius wondered if it would eventually become a unique gift like his too, that was not recorded in the grand repository of Etara.
With a myriad of thoughts running through their mind, Lucius and Kiana reached the mansion and got down. Both of them had felt changed after the visit to the appraisal hall. Lucius had gained a better perspective on gifts, while Kiana had felt her faith in Lucius deepen.
At first, she had just been happy that Lucius had managed to awaken a gift after all these years, but now she learned that his gift might be the rarest gift in the world and seeing how its uses were varied and how it could control other beings, its potential was definitely high.
If before Kiana had some doubts about whether Lucius would be able to keep up his objective of letting the Inanis family rising to the top, now they were all wiped away. If Lucius with such a gift was unable to do so, then perhaps no one else in this world would be able to do something like that.
With newfound determination, Kiana decided to do the best she could to assist Lucius.
'I need to get working on other people… we need trustworthy allies…' Kiana thought to herself.
While Kiana was worried about having trusty allies, she didn't know Lucius had already found a way to overcome that.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
