The monster is so powerful that it cannot be killed with brute force alone. The monster warns the hero not to worry about the payment, since it is the towns hard earned money, so he hopes that the monster can be killed first. The hero tells the monster that he will see this as part of his training. He feels ashamed after hearing the monster's warning, but he must go help the people. The seer warns the young man that he is covered by darkness, and that his face shows signs of death. He says that he got startled by the hero and stepped into dog poop, which is a sign of misfortune. He tells the seer that stepping into dog poo means bad luck follows you everywhere, and chances are that you will die as a result of bad luck nine out of 10 times. He also says that if people think he is a lucky dog, then they are ignorant of the fact that dogs are very lucky. He adds that if he comes with him and reads his face, he will be a fortune teller.
