Once it was decided that they were going to head out to attack the dungeon, Luka and Ex went out to get their equipment in order.
The equipment would change during the journey and the dungeon attack.
Since Ex didn't have much experience in adventure, he decided to have Luka accompany him as an advisor.
Then, leaving Belda at the deputy's office, we went back to Tom's inn for a while.
'Al-san, Al-san! That was a hell of a dragon.
Tom called happily.
The arrival of the Six Pillars of the Ancient Dragon Archduke would have been noticed by everyone in Elkay.
Belda must be working to clear up the confusion in Elkay by now.
'Hmm. Are those dragons friends of the Sigi?
Vivi came in, surrounded by her children.
Vivi seemed to be taking care of the children.
Timisoara replied to Vivi with a proud smile.
'I am not Sigishoora's friend. He is a vassal.
'Vassals? What is a vassal?
The children asked with an innocent smile.
'A vassal is a retainer,'
What? You're on Sigi's retainer? Wow.
Yeah!
As they were talking about this, Luka and Ex returned, having finished their preparations.
Ex seemed somewhat excited as he prepared his equipment.
Maybe he was looking forward to conquering the dungeon.
Ex has easy to move armor and replacement swords.
The torches, robes and emergency food were well prepared.
It's safe to say that Luka, who has a lot of experience, seems to have guided him well.
After introducing Xu to the children and Stef and others, we all had a snack.
At that table, Luka asked Ex.
'Ex, how does the oracle work?
'Incidentally, in Chel's case, the words seem to have fallen out of his mouth. To Chelle and the priest at the same time.
'That's right! Pigii!
Chernobok shakes and agrees with my words.
I've never been an oracle or anything like that!
'I've never received one either. If it weren't for the ancient dragon's magical tools, I wouldn't even know I was an apostle.
I see there are apostles like that: ......
Ex seemed a little surprised.
'So what was it like for you, Ex? Do you feel like the words are coming down on you like Chel?
At Cruz's urging, Ex begins to speak.
'The oracle of the God of Destruction is given to me in a dream.
'So it was a dream. Are you sure it wasn't literally a dream?
Luka asks, staring into Ex's eyes.
If it's a dream, anything goes.
It's hard to determine if he sent the oracle through a dream or if he just dreamed about receiving the oracle.
Luka thought about it.
Ex tells us about an oracle he had received in the past.
It seems that Xu had received many oracles in the past. Every one of them was a dream.
The oracle in his dream told him that he had become an apostle.
He also told me when he was able to use his abilities in a new way.
'The God of Destruction is so caring~'
Cruz nodded yes.
'It is indeed a dream, but I have a definite certainty that this is an oracle.
You see?
Luka nods his head. Luka doesn't know what it means to be sure.
Ex continues to explain to Luka.
'Even when I was able to use my abilities, I understood that I could suddenly do it.
I don't understand.
I can't explain it in words, but as soon as you see it, you understand that it can be 'broken'.
...... I might know if that's what you mean. Sometimes I know I can cut when I see it, too.
Luka is nodding yes.
But that of Luka is a boundary that he has reached after training as a swordsman, and it's different from the oracle.
It seems that I was not the only one who thought so, but Timi also thought so.
'Maybe Luka's is also different.
'Timi's right, but it's the same in that I understood it, not in theory.
If Arla says so, maybe so.
Timi nodded yes. He seemed to agree with something.
Since it was the day before the dungeon-exploration, they took it easy and didn't do any particular work that day.
Xu also seemed to enjoy interacting with the kids, Femme, Morphy, Sigishoara and Chernobok.
In the evening, Berda also came to Tom's inn, so we all ate dinner together and nourished our spirits.
