The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The voice of a woman who suddenly resonated with her heart, harsh but as merciful and warm as her mother. I didn't doubt that because I believed that Smith was Botin's voice and a divine trust received from God.

And serving the Botin Temple, he immediately reported that he had been commissioned by the superior priest. And within that day he was to be summoned by the temple chief to tell a detailed story about the temple.

That would be so. This is a large temple among the Botin temples in the territory of the Duke of Zectoa in the Orbaum-elected kingdom, because the contents of the temple were immediately incredibly large. He also had the anxiety, 'Perhaps I have misinterpreted the temple'.

For that reason the call to hear from the temple chief, an experienced clergyman, was a ship for him to cross.

But as soon as I drank the tea served in that seat, I was drowsy, and when I realized it, I was trapped in some basement.

"What the hell is this?!? Listen to me! I am not sarcastic that I will be treated like this!

I sued him that way, but he didn't even know if anyone would have heard it.

And life in captivity lasted so long that it was unbearable for Smith.

"Didn't you care what I was commissioned for, or both?!? Is that why it is for those who live on the path of faith to whisper the Word of God!?

Every day since he got locked up, he kept suing at the person who might be across the door. It was because of his disobedience to the temple chief, who had locked him up with medicine, and his outrage at the upper temple, who had decided to bury the temple in darkness.

But it was also to distract Smith himself from his sense of powerlessness towards himself, who was unaware but unable to escape and continues to be imprisoned, and his anxiety and fear of being trapped until he died like this.

"Lambda" Those who find themselves in temples in the world are trained to fight in emergency situations… in case of demons and bandit raids on the way to the pilgrimage or when towns and villages with temples are attacked by a herd of demons.

That was no exception to this Smith, and he had mastered magic because he was so blessed with his magical qualities.

It was the magic of fire attributes, not the earthly attributes that Botin presided over, that had aptitude, but there is no doctrine that those who have no aptitude for earthly attributes should not serve the Botin Temple. There are as many priests in the Temple of Alda as there are unsuitable for light attributes.... although the vice of not being able to emerge in a temple where authoritarianism is widespread without the same aptitude of attributes as the God to whom it is served seems to pass.

But neither his fire attribute sorcery nor his forged martial arts arm made any sense to the door. Because the door wasn't just iron, it was made of obsidian iron.

Alloys made by mixing trace amounts of misrills and adamantite with iron, obsidian iron, the only demonic metal a person can create, is a lower compatibility of misriles and adamantite. But it's too much as a door to keep him locked away from the average priesthood.

I also thought about digging the walls, not the doors, and getting out. But the wall bordering the door was useless to dig with a brick stranded on the back of Obsidian iron. The other side would have been able to dig it, but you'd be noticed before you finished digging the tunnel that leads to the ground.

Then when the meal was served, I thought I had to attack the caretaker and let him open the door, but they knew who was holding him. It was the stone golem, if you look closely, that was supplying the meal. The watchman handed the meal to the golem every tray when he was serving it, and the received golem opened the door shutter further and gave him the meal.

I didn't know a direct watch was a golem. Probably can't do much except give him a meal, etc., but now he has no hope of escaping.

To be rated a dungeon, the room was in order. Except for the lack of windows, it might be better than the room in the dorm where the two of us used one room for enough size to have a bathroom and a magic item to serve hot water.

Meals are also supplied by three meals, shutters of doors where the same thing as usual only opens from the outside.

But the sense of obstruction gradually hunted him down.

But the goddess didn't abandon him like that. I got [Botin's protection].

"Thank you, my goddess! We need to get out of here as soon as possible to reward this grace."

That was Smith renewing his determination, but unfortunately gaining protection in this situation did nothing.

Whether you screamed for protection from Botin or wrote and told the tray instead of ink some of the meals served, there was no response from those who were holding him captive.

"Damn, for a man who tries to bury a shrine in the dark, is that something Botin gave me protection and so on...!

The protection given by the gods is simply an addition to the cost of growth stretches. By virtue of the divinity that gives protection, the walls of the growth limit are lower and only require less experience to level up. Some effects, such as giving protection, make it easier to acquire and level skills in specific areas, but the main effect is that.

It makes no sense to gain protection in a state of incarceration because there is no opportunity to level up or change jobs. However, when I thought of the goddess who gave me protection, I could not imitate that I had abandoned myself and had lost my life.

Now is the time for patience. Don't give up, wait for the opportunity, and one day be sure to preach the Word of God. That's what he told himself and spent his days enduring incarceration.

I didn't know such a smith, but telling those who were incarcerating themselves that they had gained protection from Botin was helping to maintain the status quo.

The temple chief of the Botin temple to which he belonged seemed to be a seemingly devout clergyman but was in fact a treacherous man who fattened his personal belly by connecting himself with the Temple of Alda and those in power. If you're going to learn to treat politicians as politicians, you deserve to be called a clergyman.

Because he's such a man, he doesn't believe in Botin wholeheartedly anyway if it's just the tip of his mouth. Naturally, it is absolutely impossible to be entrusted. From Botin himself, he is "a man who names his followers, but not his own".

Pure of faith and unaware of politics, "Do you scorn God's will!?" There's nothing to be afraid of but a young man calling out.

But even if there is no faith, there is a heart that fears God. With Botin giving Smith protection, the temple chief, who understood that Botin was watching over him, feared that a divine punishment would be inflicted on him by putting his hands on him.

In fact, God in this day and age still has little means to punish rooted treacherous, or hypocrites like the temple chief, if they have made mistakes.

If a devout believer who can grant protection and wholesale his Messenger has stepped off the path and corrupted him, he can punish him by stripping him of protection and not sending him if he is asked to. It is also possible for some people to speak directly in a trust.

But none of them, like the temple chief, can carry out any of them who have neither shelter nor [descend] skills from the beginning. To punish a treacherous man like him, it is necessary for God to descend directly to earth and lay down his hands.

No matter how great a god you are, you cannot do it, even if you are consuming enormous power every time you punish just a treacherous man. That's what we're making a covenant with an evil God to work out a plan for the extinction of mankind, or else the gods won't punish us directly.... Urgen Terkatanis is that these days, but that was Vandaloo moving before Alda noticed.

So what do the gods do when these treacherous people come out, they don't get their hands on it directly? Believe in the purity of your own followers, while supporting and watching those who expect to be right from their teachings.

So normally, the temple chief couldn't kill Smith out of fear, and Smith didn't choose to succumb to the temple chief or harm himself out of his faith and sense of purpose, and time should have flowed with things glued.

There may be some opinions about whether it is such a long and good thing or about the people who will be sacrificed over time... there is nothing I can do about it, so there is nothing I can do about it.

Everyday somewhere in the world, human beings who are followers of either God are deprived of their possessions and loved ones, they are offended or killed.

However, there is an unparalleled presence in history today in the Orbaum-elected kingdom that travels to and from the divine domain, the dwelling place of the gods, and is free to exchange large amounts of information and opinions that are incomparable with unfettered divinity.

Its presence appeared untouched before the priest, who had finished his meal and began to lay down his arms in order to eliminate the lack of exercise and the voidness with which he had nothing to do.

"Excuse me all of a sudden. My name is Vandaloo and I have been used by God to help you."

"What? Huh? Or God's?

"Yes, it's God. in this case from Botin."

"Yes, how the hell from where?!? Besides, this room shouldn't come in with spatial attribute magic, so the junction should be stretched out!?

"From my home in Orbaum, I have [transferred] with my friend's spatial attribute magic. It should be noted that this Tadano helped us determine where to [transfer]."

"Chew."

A mouse I recently saw in the corners of the room and in the vents made a face out of Vandaloo's hair.

"As for the connection, it seems to be easier than twisting a baby's hand, such as crossing this level of disability."

The [transfer] measures prepared by the person, Temple Chief Botin, seemed to be equal to a house made of straw for Gufadgaan, the evil god of spatial attributes.

It was Smith's appearance that understanding could not be driven down even though he was explained so, but he was recovering from surprise.

"Are you Vandaloo? I unsealed the Demon King that was sealing Botin, the Savior's!?

"Yeah, it's that Vandaloo. I'll check, but you're Mr. Smith Willow, aren't you?

Smith Willow, who was called by his own name… Smith looked up to heaven in a way that was impressive.

"Oh, God still wasn't letting me go!

In fact, Botin was just as concerned about Smith as the other believers who gave him protection. But at the same time, I was hesitant to help.

It's not an easy problem to solve, like in the days of God, where you can reach out and help a little bit. Besides, I wondered if I, God, had to move lightly and let the humans themselves make an effort to solve it.

So Vandaloo says, "Well, if I move, who's a human, isn't that a problem solved? He asked," Soudattane, Antaha human datane, "and asked for Smith's rescue.

By the way, then Perrier has asked me to do the same.

"Now let's get out of here."

"Wait, I have a duty to tell people about the trust!

Yes, Smith insisted by burning a flame of passion in his eyes.

"I respect that will, but don't you have to tell me anything from this temple? Shouldn't we get out of here and tell them from a safe place?

Besides, you'll need to do something about the head of the temple and the people who will give it to you to announce Botin's trust here in the temple. "

But when Vandaloo told him so, he dropped his shoulder by saying, "Indeed you are right".

"Besides, the temple chief is not publicly arranged at the moment, so I can stop beating him. I don't care if I gather all the evidence and secure the persuasion material to persuade other temple officials and the Duke."

"That... indeed. I'm also concerned about my training and my efforts to connect with the people around me… I must have missed the effort to increase my allies."

Vandaloo told me that Smith noticed his failure. There is also the reason that he believed purely in priests and temple chiefs who are superiors, but he is imprisoned for serving medicine as a result of pure belief.

If Smith had made truly trustworthy colleagues, powerful priests and high priests in the temple, and friends he could count on outside the temple, he would have had more other options.

"It's a theory of results, and I think it's tough to demand that younger people, like you, be perfect, so don't blame yourself."

"... when a minor boy younger than me tells me, I don't have a position"

"I'm an emperor, but Mr. Smith is a cleric. I'm sorry to say this, but it's a different position."

It should be noted that the status of the so-called "clergy" in many temples is the initial position of those who live in or serve from the temple, that is, the Heijian employees.

Because he is a priest who serves God, his social position and credibility are highly called "clerics," but he is in a lower position within an organization called the Temple.

On top of that, it varies from temple to temple, but if there is an apprenticeship period of clergy apprenticeship under the clergy, or if the samurai festival is the chief or assistant chief, the priest is the section chief to the chief, and the high priest is the equivalent of the executive or branch chief. The Cardinal is a position that exists in the Great Temple that binds multiple temples, like the Great Temple of Alda in the Amid Empire, which, in the company of the Earth, amounts to the executive role of a large company.

Incidentally, adventurers and "clerics" who do not belong to the temple and patrol the border are those who do not work for a particular temple simply because they are conveniently called. Adventurers and patrolling clerics can gain social credibility and some temple assistance. And in exchange for aid, the Temple can be redeemed for the achievements of those who serve the same God in fighting demons and patrolling villages.

That's the kind of relationship you have.

From that standpoint, it would only be harsh to blame Smith, who is only a young peacekeeper, for not building a wide variety of connections that can be relied upon for emergencies.

"It would be counterproductive for anyone who suspects that I would vouch for the content of the trust you received, and even if Mother said she would vouch for Vida in her name... too much will rub it"

The voice and credibility of Darusia, the incarnation of Vida, is immense in the Orbaum voting kingdom. If Vida, the same great god, communicates the will of Botin, there will be no one who can deny it publicly.

However, I don't really want to do it because in that case it will crush the faces of the Botin believers.

"That's why let's just get out of here. Hands."

"Yes."

Smith, who held Vandaloo's hand wondering if he was going to [metastasize] and escape, stood in the meadow for the next moment.

"Huh!?

It's a sense of emancipation that I didn't want in the basement where I was incarcerated until then, but Smith, stunnedly eye-opening, couldn't even afford to notice it.

"This is a special space, made of my unique skills. Wait here for a while."

When Vandaloo, with his hand in his hand, says so and makes his gaze swerve, there are giant trees like castles there, with tables and chairs all around him. I saw a few people spending time doing thoughtful things sitting in that chair or worshipping giant trees for some reason.

"Those people...?

"Believing gods are different from each other, but they are the same people you have seen"

Smith remembers once again his surprise and his outrage at the temple, wondering if he wasn't the only one imprisoned or confined to bury the shrine in darkness.

And I convinced Vandaloo, who rescued us, that he was the right person to instruct Botin to take his side.

"Try talking to them while you have the snacks you have prepared. They'll want to talk to Mr. Smith, too."

"What will you do now?

"I'm going to help people who are sighted just like you. Because we leave it to everyone where security is too tight to be rescued in peace. There are seven more in charge of me."

At the same time, while [transferring] by Jane Doe, the ghost of spatial attributes, his fellow masked Vandaloos were turning to help those imprisoned for the same reasons as Smith in each temple outside the Duke of Fazon territory and its associated facilities.

The modus operandi was more forceful than a break-in robbery, and for those who did not know the circumstances, he said, there was no other way to commend it as "a people-shaped disaster with the conviction of immortality has penetrated while destroying the temple".

Stun or restrain the stubborn without question and render them incapable of action, destroy the stubborn walls and floors with fists and sorcery, and still kick those who chase them away.

Multiple temples in the Duke's territory will be attacked simultaneously, but so far they have not received any prominent clues leading to the killer.

The people of the Duke of Jahan did not welcome the event at first.

"They seem to mistake the hymn for a spectacle or something"

"Who wants to see things like Dark Elves and Ghoul songs and dancing. What the hell happened to the Duke?"

"I'm sure years of intense duty have accumulated hard work. It's hard work."

They seemed to say scattered. Most of them are either Alda followers or Botin followers assuming that Alda is the head of the gods, followed by followers such as Nine Road and Pharmaun, so I can say it's still better if it's just criticism.

"Hmm, funny. Let's see what the music of the barbarians is like."

"I've never seen a dark elf or ghoul before. Rumor has it that Scylla and Arakune are here!

"They're not coming out tonight. They say ghosts and vampires come out."

And those who go to see the monuments were also musicians and bards who go to be identified rather than looking forward to it, as well as some of the youngsters who are in the mood for a sightseeing amusement mountain.

But that didn't bother them. Because no one thought you'd be welcome from the start. And because I was convinced that once the stage curtain opened, things would change.

"An unprecedented rhythm of change, a new way of playing a new instrument I've never seen... that music can shape what I wanted to express!

"I'm converting to Vida. Convince your father and mother, never."

"Cute. He's cute anyway. There's nothing else to say."

"The rhythm of the drum and the deep, unique singing echoed in my chest. Nice......"

"I've been dreaming about that stage every night since then. It was glowing on the stage...... they call it a mirror ball, but that's what sparkles in my dreams...... kind of, I feel like they're watching me. This is what I do, and I still do."

Those who saw the offering once became obsessed as if they had returned their palms. Then those who heard rumors and were interested, or saw something scary, people get to the monster. I am suspicious and join those who have come to find out if they are doing anything suspicious.

On the other hand, there are a certain number of people who have seen the stage many times and there is no change, but it means nothing. Because they're just performing music, song and dance on stage.

No suspicious sorcery, vaporized medication, or replacement by daemons or undead has been performed. It's not against any law.

No way. "It's very popular, so we should ban it! It can't even go through the rambling argument." And the curtain of the stage goes up today.

"It's over... my life... I can't fix the track anymore"

And after the curtain came down, Miriam was poking around at the edge of the dressing room where the stars were taking a shower and breathing.

"No, I don't think it's over."

"Um, don't be so pessimistic. Life is not coming. It doesn't matter now, does it?

From its left and right, Kanako and Zadiris comfort him so much, the mirror ball...... the king of lighting demons also looks worried. But Miriam doesn't show how to get back on her feet while she's depressed.

"Even I know this is an important job. So I worried about a lot of things, but I also got a job as an [English mentor], and I did my best. But the result is' Princess Hero '!? How the hell does that happen!?

Idol live operation to absolutely guide the audience, to keep public opinion of the Duke of Jahan near Vida. As a result of all our cooperation, many of them, especially the famous knights, advanced adventurers, magician guild fans, mercenaries of war, and their reputation in Orbaum combined to earn them two names: "The Hero Princess".

"Mr. Zadiris, I'm sure this is also due to your curse! What can you do for me Thank you!

"No, that's not just for the mouth, it's for Miriam's own hard work. I don't care if she blames me or thanks me."

Even after the ceremony, the dressing room was busy.

Protecting Vida

● Job Description: by Luciliano, English Instructor

A mentor who guides heroes. … It is a common pattern in the hero biography that the companions led by the mentor become heroes sooner or later, but this job seems to target those who have already become heroes, those who possess the qualities to become heroes, and those who aspire to become heroes.

Miriam herself has said many times that she is not a person who can get a job like this... but I think it could be enough given her track record so far.

● Description of two names: by the heroic princess Luciliano

[Instructor Ying] It's not like the two names that were given to me from being... but rather the two names that were given to me at some point while I was singing and dancing on stage.

Probably because her fans have many advanced adventurers and famous knights.
