While Daimon was recovering his breath, Aisha sat on the ground next to him, she extended her arm and a little rune that resembled a circle with two vertical lines ? appeared on her hand which she proceeded to apply to the sword her son was using for training before handing it to him.

"Here you go darling", Daimon took the sword and then stabbed it on a nearby tree, this was an idea Aisha had not too long ago, the weapon on which the rune was applied could drain vitality and stamina from the things that were hit with it so she was using it as a way to help her son recover from the harsh training he had to do and at the same time the skill leveled up each time she used it.

After about 10 minutes Daimon looked way better than before, his breathing was stable and he looks as if he was brimming with energy, on contrast the tree looked a bit yellow it wasn't dying but certainly it will take some time to recover the vitality that was drain from it.

Aisha nodded satisfied with the results of this double benefit training method she thought.

"This tree is quite big and it was affected quite a bit so the draining ratio is really good, although your enemy won't stand still to let you stab it each touch with a rune enhanced weapon is quite dangerous, now let's go take a bath before I call my friend".

They both stood up and went inside the cave before taking off their clothes, Aisha filled the bathtub and entered before inviting him to accompany her, Daimon sat on her lap and his mother hugged him, since she obtained the Record of the War Goddess, they have made a silent agreement to have as much physical contact as possible for "AP farming" purposes, or at least that was the excuse they decided to use.

"Darling, you will be meeting her later but I think it's a good idea to tell you more about the person that will come for us, her name is Elizabeth Revy, she is the younger sister of the current head of the Twilight Alluring Fox clan mmm, more accurately she is a sun alluring fox while her older sister is a moon alluring fox".

Aisha laughed a bit as if she was remembering some funny things from her past.

"Mm, if you need to know something before meeting her it that she is quite… "lively" but she is a troublemaker so try to not learn anything from her hahaha".

Daimon had a hard time imagining how was this godmother of his, once they finished bathing Aisha dressed him before doing the same, she decided to call Elizabeth today because she already gathered enough mana to extend the range of her sigil lector to reach her as long as she was on Lykos.

A sigil lector it's a magic device that was similar to a phone but instead of a number it used a sigil created by the other part to stablish communication at long distances, Aisha only had a couple of sigils registered on her lector so it she selected one that looked like a sun before she started pouring her mana on the device.

A moment later the sigil illuminated which meant that the connection was correctly stablished, not even a second later an exalted female voice was heard speaking from the sigil lector.

"Aisha!!!, is that you, are you two, okay? I heard some stupid news that you rebelled against the Naktis and were executed at the spot".

… Aisha waited until Elizabeth stopped screaming before answering.

"Are you alone Liz?".

The woman on the other side seemed to calm down a bit before continuing with the conversation.

"Yes, it's safe to speak, what happened… I tried to go and declare a war against that Victor asshole but my sister stopped me saying "we are already at war with the vampires, blah, blah, blah", and then she told our mother to not let me leave Lykos, sigh".

Aisha shook her head.

"We are okay, it's a long story to be discussed in this way, due to some circumstances I… am not an Archmage anymore so I need you to come for us, the coordinates of the place we are staying are 40o 52' 51'' N; 73° 56' 19'' O".

"Mm, okay, don't worry I won't be taking anyone else with me, I will be there in an hour… also I will bring a gift for my cute godson ?".

Aisha turned to see Daimon and gave him an apologetic gaze, although he didn't know about Elizabeth, she sent some portraits of him to Elizabeth in secret once before.

"Okay, be careful I had to fight against an Archmage level manticore when we first landed on Lykos".

After saying that the call ended and Aisha kept the sigil lector on her storage ring before laying down on the bed next to Daimon.

"Ahem, I'm sure you will get along good with her darling".

They both used the remaining time to rest, although the renovation rune helped Daimon almost fully recover, the mental fatigue didn't disappear so the only option was to rest, he decided to explore the shop in the time being while Aisha gently hugged him.

He entered the book section of the shop and started navigating through the options that were currently available.

[Magic forge fundamentals]

[Alchemy fundamentals]

[Potion master fundamentals]

[Appraiser fundamentals]

[The way of the sword fundamentals]

There were a lot of books available but all of them had one thing in common they were all the fundamentals of their respective subject, Daimon thought about for a second before clicking on the appraiser fundamentals to see the description of it.

[Appraiser fundamentals]

,m [An appraiser is someone that has good eyes to identify any material be it herbs, rare ores or magic beasts etc. this book will allow the user to develop the job skill "Truth seeker eye" once its knowledge is assimilated]

[Price: 30,000 coins]

"Mm, I still have two million coins so a mere 30 thousand won't really make a difference, I need to earn some money to buy a fragment of Laplace for me in the future, still I wonder what does it mean by "knowledge assimilation" but I guess this is a good chance to find out how it works".

*Ding*

[Thanks for buying the "Appraise fundamentals", do you wish to learn it right now? Y/N]

Daimon clicked yes and the book turned into light particles which entered his body.

*Ding*

[The knowledge assimilation has started, current progress: 1% (remaining time 24 hours)]

"Well, I guess there is no other choice but to wait".

Daimon changed to the item section of the shop, the other day he saw an item which could come handy for them later and he wanted to know what were the requirements to buy it.

[Bracelet of the god of mischief (Restricted due to the current level of the host)

[A magic bracelet which allows the user to change his appearance, its effect is infallible for anyone that is at most two greater realms above the user (required level to use: one-star mage]

[Price 1,000,000 coins]

This was the goal Daimon has set for himself at short term, he didn't want to stay down so the obvious option was to disguise his true appearance but when he assists an academy on the future there will be strong people who would be able to see through a normal disguise and since he will for sure stand out then his characteristics will spread to other planets which could lead to the Naktis finding him.

So, this item was a need for both Aisha and him.

"Well seems like I will have to work my ass to get more coins, Evangeline what is the most effective way to get coins?", he asked.

… "Hunt beasts and sell the corpses to the system, advance on your cultivation, defeat strong enemies, achieve things that are hard for other people and other tasks like that, this applies for both you and your mother, since she is your soulmate, her achievements will also count as yours".

Daimon suddenly got a good idea, "since I don't meet the requirements to use the bracelet then… I can buy it for mom and she can use it to go hunt magic beasts to sell their corpses to the system, besides the fights will also count as training for her to light her life spark".

Evangeline agreed with his plan.

"Sounds good to me, just remind her that she needs to be the one killing the beasts or they won't be accepted by the system".

[Thanks for buying the bracelet of the god of mischief]

He took it out from the inventory, the thing had quite a modern design, it was made out of some kind of jade with black and green colors mixed to form a cloud pattern, "at least it's not too flashy", he thought.

"Mom… I have a present for you", he handed the bracelet to while he explained what was its use and the idea, he got to take advantage of the fact that she needed to fight a lot to light her life spark.

Once he finished his explanation, Aisha nodded.

"It's a good idea darling, I was actually struggling to find a solution to hide our true appearances from curious eyes and this is perfect, if what the bracelet states is true then me a one-star mage should be able to trick an Archmage, later we can confirm it with Elizabeth if it works".

When Daimon was about to answer, as if being mentioned had summoned her a flying carriage approached the mountain where they were staying which made Aisha smile.

"She is here, let's go out to greet her".
