The monster tells the master that he never sleepswalks. The master says that he must have used a spell to control him. The monster says that the master must have said that he could control human life, death, and consciousness. He says that if he could do this, he would have killed the villagers when they first came to the village. He wonders if he is too weak to control human behavior. He imagines that he would be able to control consciousness even if it were useless for ordinary people. He asks the master if he can detect shifts in the divine order. He thinks that he will not have to wait until he sees the god to reach his goal. He has found nothing from his experiments, and wonders why the master was willing to let him take them. He wants to sneak the furnace out of the master's sight. He notices that the baby spirits look like they do not feel pain. He copies the map on the dice and marks out one of the spots where the furnace could be found. He goes back to the master to get his medicine.
