I... shit, that does make sense.Albert realizes he's a honey trap for a hag.
>Mm. That it does, but not all parts to becoming a Hermit necessarily involves such things. Truthfully, the term 'Hermit' is just an umbrella for people who have become extraordinary compared to others by acquiring many different kinds of powers.>She seemed pleased by how you genuinely accepted her own information of Hermits readilyHuh, thought hermits were intrinsically linked to Taoism and that they are beings endowed with supernatural abilities acquired through religious training, not the other way around like she said. This setting might be different, though. Or it's because Kasen knows shit all about Taoism and chose the title of a hermit to explain her longevity and is giving Albert bad info, which is highly amusing. Slightly surprised she didn't mention Celestials since they are basically the end goal of being an earthly hermit eventually.
Magic or Hermit Training. On the one hand, I want to get Albert a magical gun, but on the other, we can eventually get the ability to eat mist if Albert lives past 500 years and wrestling skills.
We might be able to ask Kasen to introduce us to other hermits so we can learn more about their experiences before going down the path.
