Chapter 429 – Rest
As we decided to attack this dungeon, Luka and Ecces went out to get some things in preparation.
First, you need to dress appropriately in order to attack a dungeon.
Since Ecces was still new at adventuring, Luka went with her to give her advice.
Then, Belda went back to her office while I and the others went back to Tom’s house.
?Mister Al! Those dragons were really something!?
Tom ran out and shouted.
I’m pretty sure everyone in the town noticed the entrance of those dragons.
Also, Belda would probably have to go around and smooth some nerves after all the ensuing ruckus.
?Yeah, were those dragons friends of Shiggy??
The kids surrounded me and asked.
Vi-Vi was tasked with watching over the kids, apparently.
Timi puffed her chest out in pride and said,
?They’re not Shiggy’s friends, they’re her servants.?
?Servants?! What’s a servant??
The kids asked innocently.
?Servant…like a helper…?
?Wow, Shiggy has helpers like that? Wow!?
?Ryaaa!?
After we had talked quite a bit about it, Luka and Ecces returned from their preparations.
Now that Ecces was ready, you could tell she was very anxious to get started.
She had chosen easy-to-move-in armour and a lighter blade.
Also, a torch, rope, emergency rations, everything she needed.
It was clear that Luka in her experience had gotten her everything she needed.
After introducing her to Steff and the children, we all sat down for snacks.
There Luka asked Ecces,
?Ecces, what does an oracle usually look like??
?In the case of Chel, the words just came to them, Chel and the priest.?
?Yeah! PigGi!?
And hearing that, Chel jiggled in agreement.
?I’ve never gotten word from any oracle!?
?I haven’t either, Cruz. I wouldn’t even know about this lord stuff if it wasn’t for that magic map from the dragons.?
?Wow, I never knew of lords like you…?
Ecces was quite surprised to hear what I had said.
?So how did it feel to you, Ecces? Was it like words coming to you??
Cruz asked, and Ecces began telling the story,
?The oracle came to me in a dream.?
?A dream? Like literally appeared in the dream??
Luka said, looking at Ecces closely.
There were many kinds of dreams.
Did the oracle just appear in the dream, or was it like some kind of trance that she was forced into? That’s probably what Luka was thinking.
Ecces talked about the dream she had received.
It seems that she had seen it over and over. This was everything she saw.
As soon as she became the destruction lord, she was given messages from the oracle.
And the powers she was given were revealed through the dreams as well.
?That destruction god watches over you closely.?
Cruz said with a nod.
?It’s true they are dreams, but I’m 100% sure they are from the oracle.?
?I see??
Luka looked a bit confused. I guess she wasn’t sure why Ecces was sure that it was from the oracle.
So Ecces continued explaining it to Luka,
?And when I was able to use these powers, I was instantly aware of it.?
?Aware…okay…?
?I can’t explain it with words, but when I saw it, I understood the “destruction” element of it as well.?
?…I think I can understand that. Like understanding when and where you can slash.?
Luka nodded along as she said.
However, Luka was a woman that trained in the art of the sword, and was different from someone bestowed with an oracle.
Not only was I thinking this, but Timi as well,
?Maybe that’s a little different, Luka.?
?I think so too. It’s like understanding without logic or something.?
?Alra’s right in saying that.?
Timi said with a nod. I guess she understood.
Since we had some things to talk about the day before entering the dungeon, we took it easy and didn’t do any work.
Ecces and the kids, the others, and the beasts all got along and enjoyed time together.
When evening came Belda joined us at Tom’s and we had a happy dinner together.
