Auden’s Blessing
Dealing with someone like me was likely as simple to him as one plus one equals two.
So it was better to treat him the way I always had: purely, simply, as an idol.
Even ambiguity was not allowed.
Thinking this, I quickly finished crafting the wand.
Looking at the staff soaked in the spring water, the enormous Tear of the Moon Goddess set upon a snow-white diamond mount, I felt that this must be the most valuable wand in all the Nine Worlds today. Perhaps I would never again have the chance in my lifetime to work with materials this fine.
After wiping the wand gently with a soft cloth, I stood up and turned around—only to find that Lan had already fallen asleep.
