“Destroy the curse.”
“Holy bearer.”
“The wheel of fate has seven spokes.”
The oracle comes from Taula’s mouth.
She says something every time her finger stops leafing through her scripture, and it ends up being these three phrases.
The light of magic elements enveloping Taula’s body suddenly vanishes.
“Holy bearer… Seven spokes on the wheel of fate? So this is the oracle related to Seilook? Interesting…”
Says Kalin, sounding pensive.
Spokes are those rods sticking out of an axle, aren’t they… As I think about this, I ask two questions.
“Destroy the curse means Seilook will take down the shaman, right? What about the wheel of fate?”
“It probably refers to something necessary to the course of events that leads to the shaman being defeated. I guess.”
Says Kalin while thinking.
That reminds me of something. Is it those lines of letters I can’t read on the half-transparent plate?
Taula listens to us talk, with a very serious expression on her face.
“But why did you even think to ask Taula for an oracle related to Seilook?”
“It ended up being a big success, didn’t it? It looks like the shaman really wants to go after Seilook, and an enemy appeared just as Seilook got bigger. And above all else, there was that attack on the church of Araysla where Taula was. It got me thinking if this is all connected.”
“Thank you, Kalin. This is a big clue. But yes, I see… Is this oracle power being targeted? It’s such a shame I was the one who survived. There were others whose oracle power was much stronger…”
Taula clenches her fist tightly.
Kalin walks towards her, and slowly places her hand on Taula’s fist.
“No, that’s not true. It’s because you were the one who survived that you met Rust, and you’re here right now. There’s no doubt about that.”
And the main topic of this conversation, Seilook, wakes up and raises its head after nodding off in the corner of the room.
It’s looking right this way.
And suddenly, half-transparent plates appear in front of us.
“Contracted dragon=Seilook: Conditions met. Quest released.
Is what’s written here.
