Result of Divination
"I have seen your future."
"What!? You can do that!?" Veldora was shocked.
Lucas nodded. He got up from his place and dusted his clothes off firstly.
Lucas walked close to the crystal and said looking Veldora in the eyes, "do you wish to know whether you'll be trapped here forever or be released?"
Of course he did. Why would he not want to know this? Veldora nodded his head hurriedly to answer Lucas's question.
"Alright then. So from what I saw from my divination was that, on one fine day, about six months from now, you'll meet a slime." Lucas said in a calm and unhurried tone.
Veldora tilted his head in confusion. "Slime? Why would I meet a slime?"
Lucas shook his head. "I have no idea. But, this slime would be very helpful to you. Make sure that you don't scare him away."
Veldora nodded his head. "Okay. If you say so."
Lucas continued, "that's about it that you should know for now. Once you meet the slime, you'll understand things on your own. And yes, don't forget to give that slime a name and get attached to him. This is a very important task, alright?"
Veldora nodded. "Okay, consider it done as well."
Lucas then said, "yes, and also, make sure you tell that slime that you met me and relay this message of mine to him. Ask him on my behalf, 'did NGNL get a season 2?'. Okay?"
Veldora got confused again. "What does NGNL mean?"
Lucas shrugged and said, "who knows. Anyway, that's about it from my side. I am gonna leave now."
"Wait! Wait! You're leaving already?" Veldora stopped Lucas again.
Lucas looked at him and said, "obviously. I've got work to do since I am free and not sealed like you. Yeah and also, try to control your magicules leaking out. They'll come in handy later."
Veldora became dejected as he heard that. He tried to make a sad puppy face on his ferocious dragon one but failed miserably. Yet he still continued and looking at Lucas, he asked in a shy and sad tone,
"A-are you really going to l-leave?"
Lucas felt cringed looking at this but controlled himself from making any exaggerated expression. He simply nodded his head.
He then looked at Veldora in the eyes and said seriously:
"Veldora. Listen to me."
Veldora's attention was raised as he heard the seriousness in Lucas's tone.
Lucas said, "you've been in this cave for 300 years. I know they've been very lonely but just bear with it for 6 more months until you meet that slime. After meeting him, in just a year or two, you'll be out of this seal. I know this crystal is made due to a unique skill of a 'hero' that trapped you. So yes, just bear a bit longer and you'll be out."
Veldora was shocked when he heard that. "How did you know it was a Hero!?"
Lucas smiled and said, "I told you, right? I can do divination. While I was doing this divination of yours, I saw you mentioning this in the future. Anyway, what I was saying was, just bear a bit longer and you'll be out. Once you do come out, we'll both do many fun things together, okay?"
"Fun things?" Veldora was like a child and everything Lucas said felt new to him.
Lucas knew how gullible this dragon in front of him was. He was taking advantage of just that.
Lucas nodded and said, "yes, fun things. You'll know what they mean in the near future. Until then, bear with this loneliness for a bit more. I'll be leaving now and will meet you directly at the time when you get released from this prison, okay?"
Veldora was slightly sad watching Lucas go but he didn't speak it out this time since Lucas had already made him understand why he was leaving.
He nodded his head and then said, "alright. I'll bear with it a bit more. I'll see you later then."
"Later." Lucas waved his hand and went away from the crystal prison.
He wore the hood again and masked himself. He moved towards the exit of the Cave of Imprisonment and reached there for a few hours of walking.
Lucas put his hand on the big metal door like before and causing the vibrations, he got out of the cave.
When he got out and saw the surroundings, he noticed that it was going to be night soon, in roughly two to three hours.
Lucas hurried to get out of the Jura Forest. He didn't want to spend the night here again like before.
He used the magicules in his body and glided through air with his top speed. This ended up costing him double the magicules but in just two hours, he was back in Bulmund and close to the Free Guild.
'Show status,' Lucas said in his mind. He wanted to see how much MP of his was expended.
<Status>
Name: Lucas Astaroth
Age: 19
Race: Human
Title: Smooth Talker
Class: F
MP: 4627
Lifespan: 100
Physique: Mortal
Soul: (???)
'Oh my…' Lucas was surprised when he saw the MP consumption.
Almost 4000 magicules were consumed just for flying. That was such a huge amount!
But it was worth it. At least he got to Blumund before it was dark.
Lucas walked towards the Free Guild and on his way, he tried to look for any inn that may be present.
As he did so, he noticed the condition of the place he was walking through.
He was walking on a stone paved road and around him, all the houses were built of wood and stone as well. There was no concept of cement present in this world yet and there was also no proper drainage or water system.
The place definitely seemed like it was taken out from the mediaeval era from Earth. There was hardly any difference.
The people also wore simple clothes and since they were in the mainland area, it was warm throughout the day and night since it wasn't winter yet.
Lucas kept walking while watching the people and surroundings around him. A few seconds later, his vision suddenly blacked out.
He then heard a sweet and melodious voice right after, saying:
"Guess who?"
