After [6] sending out the items, I hung around a bit more instead of leaving directly for bed. I have something I needed to ask these gods and goddesses after all.

“Excuse me, I have something I need to consult with everyone.”

…….

Wait, where’s everyone?

“Excuse me? Can anyone hear me?”

……

Eh, don’t tell me you’ve all run off the moment you got the offerings! Are you that irresponsible?!

“Excuse me! Anyone there?”

“Ou, sorry, sorry. I was in the middle of enjoying the whiskey you just gave us.”

“Aah, same here.”

… aside from these two, there were no other voices, does that mean-

“Aahh, the goddesses ran back to their temples clutching their offerings.”

… oooooiiiiiii!!!

“Well, what is it you want to know?”

Whatever, whatever! Let’s forget about those irresponsible goddesses and direct my questions to Hephaestus and Vulcan.

“Anyway, you know about my plans to visit the Avering Dungeon, right? I just want to know a bit more about it.”

“Ah, is that all? I think War God knows more about that place,”

“Oho, well, [4] first off the Avering Dungeon has 27 levels. Unlike Doran, Avering’s dungeon is the classic bricks and wall type of dungeon. It won’t transform into fields or marshes like the one in Doran. So, in theory it’s less difficult than Doran. However, the last time anyone reached the bottom level was about 200 years ago, so it can’t be looked down either.

Its treasure chests often yield Magical Items, so that makes it even more popular. Even if you don’t get a Magical Item, whatever comes out of the chest tends to be quite valuable too. However, there’s a reason why people don’t generally make it all the way down to the lowest level.”

Argh, I want to ask why, but I’m afraid I’ll really hate the answer…

“The Avering dungeon is also famous for its Undead population. There are at least 3 Undead Monsters Floors.”

Ugh… Undead?

“As you should know, physical attacks do not work on undead. As for Magic, only high powered Fire or Holy Magic works on them.”

“Eeeh? What should I do about this? Also, I don’t think Holy Magic is one of those things that Fer has either. Wait, what about Sacred Magic?”

“Eh, that’s a completely different thing [TZ 1]. A person with Holy Magic is called a Saint thanks to their powers against the Undead. An Undead is basically helpless in the face of Holy Magic. By the way, most Heroes from another world would have Holy Magic granted to them.”

…. Is that so?

Then, for the rest of us ordinary mortals, we’ll have to make do with high level Fire Magic?

“I~diot, you want to use high powered Fire Magic in the narrow passages of a dungeon? You’ll be roasted like a chicken.”

Guu… he’s right.

“That said, it’s not impossible for ordinary humans to fight against Undead. All they have to do is get the church to engrave a Holy Seal on their weapon. All the Undead attacked by this weapon would be instantly eliminated.”

A Holy Seal? That sounds promising. I’ll have to pay the church a visit once I reached Avering.

“Hold it right there. There are too many problems attached to that Holy Seal thing. First, the Seal’s effectiveness would disappear after 10 attacks. Second, the Church charges a lot of money to engrave a seal onto the weapons.”

What the-

This is why I hate religious bodies.

“Just what kind of religion is that?”

“Well, not a follower of ours, I
