The king finally found the hermit, who, despite being frail and weak, was kneeling on the ground, digging in front of his hut. How does this sentence impact the plot?

This shows how weak the hermit is, juxtaposing the powerful king without an answer to a recused hermit with an answer that the king does not understand as he does not often do work.
