The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 17: It should have been a Ghoul King just because of the skill.

A large orc settlement, led by Noble Orc, who plans to raid a human town, may attack a ghoul settlement before executing the plot.

Vandaloo fought with the ghouls of the family to win the title of Ghoul King.

What he was doing now was alchemy training.

While mashing the contents of the mortar, keep flowing a certain amount of magic power. By the way, the contents are Kobold's bones, Kobold's magic stones, dried poisoned toads, and their own blood.

Draw a magic circle with the resulting thing, and if it functions as a magic item, you succeed. Failure if not done. Repeat for both results until you have acquired the skills.

Even if the contents of the mortar are slightly different, the contents of the training do not change.

A group of about 500 monsters combined with goblins and Kobold, led by a powerful enemy called Noble Oak, a higher species of orc. Even if there is such a powerful enemy, can I get the title of Ghoul King and do this thing?

Even now, the captive female ghouls and female adventurers are still being comforters!

Considering nothing, Vandaloo continued to grind the contents of the mortar.

"In such a case, it is a promise that bad things will happen if you rush or run ahead."

That was Ghoul's policy, including Vandaloo.

Of course, we are collecting information. Vandaloo releases undead insects, seeks the location of Noble Oak settlements and the location of other ghouls, and Zadiris sends messengers to other ghoul settlements in memory.

But you don't have to move until you get the information. It is early spring when the opponent starts to move. And now is the end of December before midwinter.

Oak breeding is half a year gestational age, and born children are also half-years of adult growth, so we will move as soon as information is available so that the number of enemies will not increase too much.

"Even so, skills are not readily available."

I think so sorely. Already months have passed since the training of alchemy. But I haven't gained any skills yet.

"That's it. Rather, the boy is the fastest of the demons."

But Zadiris says so.

"As a human, it may be different."

Skills are basically 1 to 10 levels.

A novice who has acquired technology at one level. Martial arts can only use skills in actual battles, while craftsmen are about the same as amateur hobbies.

On two levels, martial arts is an average soldier, and craftsmen are half a person.

At 3 levels, martial arts is recognized as one of the adventurers and mercenaries. A craftsman has some skill, but his independence is unacceptable.

If you have martial arts at the 4th level, you are called a veteran in the field. If you are a craftsman, the minimum allowed for independence.

At 5th level, martial arts is a top-notch user, average for C-class adventurers.

At the 6th level, martial arts plays the role of a nobleman, while adventurers can see the B class. A craftsman can have a shop in a big city.

At 7th level, martial arts will receive scouts from nations and nobles, and adventurers will be considered to have enough problems if they are not B-class. If it is a craftsman, many disciple applicants come in a year.

A masterpiece known all over the country at 8 levels.

The name remains in history at 9 or more levels. Class A adventurers have acquired skills at this level.

It is a super-human or non-human level at 10 levels.

And, in rare cases, it may change to a higher compatible skill, exceeding 10 levels. If so, you may no longer be the subject of your religion. He is known as a sword king and a fire emperor, and beyond that he is also a god.

Is it Miyamoto Musashi on earth? Surely he wouldn't have been able to fight with his opponent who always moves faster than the sound without drinking and eating for a week, nor could he cut a rock like a mountain harder than steel.

That's how Vandaloo guessed his skills in this world from what he had told Darussia and Zadiris.

With that in mind, it makes sense that it takes months to get alchemy and other magic skills.

But there are elements in this world that neither Earth nor the Origin has.

It is skill correction by job.

People in this lambda world can be compensated for their skill gain by getting a job. This will speed up your skills acquisition and level up.

In just a few years, an amateur can grow into a leading swordsman or craftsman. The reality is that artisans often die before rabbits, and swordsmen die more often before gaining experience.

Conversely, in this world it is difficult to gain skills and level up without getting a job. This is because even if there is an excellent teacher, it is assumed that the apprentice has a job.

In that sense, Vandaloo, who is learning skills and improving his level without getting a job, can be said to be foreign.

The experience of the previous life is not reflected in the skill by the curse, but it is still useful because it has the sense and experience that you have learned, and you can use enormous magic power to practice many times and tens of times than ordinary people.

After that, thanks to the race correction of being a dumpy.

As evidenced, there is no mastery of martial arts that has never been experienced on earth or on the origin.

"In other words, if you could get a job, learning was easier."

"Well, I guess so"

"... I have another reason to hate this country."

Job change requires a special room in a guild or other institution, so in the Amid Empire and its dependents, demonic vandaloos can't get a job.

However, even if Vandaloo can use the room, there is a high possibility that the job change will not be possible due to the curse of [Existing job impossible].

"But even if you grudge, you won't get the skill, so let's study harder."

"Um. Great, boy."

Zadiris stroks his head, but if he learns that the level of Vandaloo's [Condition Abnormality] and [Breakthrough] skills have risen, he will immediately stop this steady study.

Skills have risen because of the abnormal state of overwork and long-term activity beyond the infant's limits.

However, Vandaloo himself does not intend to stop. It's always time to push. That's all since Darussia was killed.

The next day, I found the location of another ghoul settlement. There are ten villages. But only four of them need to go for days, less than half.

The six settlements had already been attacked by orcs.

"Oh, man was killed, oh, woman ... Gururu Lulu!

"Gaaaaaaaa! My swarm, baked! Pig guys rattle! !

"Itai! Itai! Mom was screaming! Itai! Crucily good!

"Oretachi, attacked! Ghoul! Bugoghan, order! The poison of ghouls, the magic of the Oak Mages, we have no effect!

Vandaloo was listening to the ghouls and the repelled Orc spirits that followed the insect undead. Many spirits have passed the bark and squeal after too much time, and others have spoken fragmentarily, but I know what happened.

Noble Oak's Bugogan seemed to have attacked the smaller ghoul settlements in order. Ghouls other than the village of Zadiris were gathered in about thirty to fifty, and seemed to have raided them with their sons, Noble Oaks, as captains, and about 80, including their slaves, goblins and Kobolts.

It seems that ordinary ghoul herds often lack powerful individuals such as ghoul mages and ghoul barbarians. In such settlements, there are some places in Zadiris where rank 4 ghoul warriors, such as middle managers, are longer.

There is a rank 6 Noble Orc attacking it, so it's reasonable to be almost unilaterally done. In addition, some oak mages can use magic that can withstand the venom of the ghoul.

It seems that this magic has been applied to soldier orcs and some slaves in advance.

Nevertheless, the ghouls' resistance is fierce, and many goblins and kobolds are defeated, but if a ghoul woman is available, it is a surplus for the orcs.

And Bugoghan killed more than a hundred ghoul men and took over hundreds of ghoul women. Ghoul women, once seized, are much more durable and durable than races, making them an excellent parent.

Apparently, Bugoghan has used goblin and Kobold females, as well as ghoul females, to increase the orcs to become more powerful.

Kobold Shaman did not know about this because he was not brought to the forefront because of his role as a mediator and was a slave.

"That's why the orcs grow about a hundred each year, and I think they will die quite a bit in the fierce battle of training, but they will still grow at an accelerating rate and live their offal. Let's go and go and sprinkle the brain cord. ''

"Boy, I know you're angry, so calm down."

"Yes, keep calm. If young people get hot, that's it."

"I'm not angry, just empathizing with the spirits."

"Is it worse?"

"Boy, I'm afraid that the leaked magic power is shaped like a skull."

Vandaloo, seemingly being beaten by countless black skulls, was a little scared of his close friends, Zadiris and Vigaro.

The ghouls other than this settlement were nothing else to Vandaloo and nothing special to care about. However, hearing from the spirits, I cannot help but remember my anger at the orcs.

"I think there are some parts of the oak that have only males that can't be helped. Otherwise, the race can't be sustained, and sexual desire is one of the three main needs, so it's hard to put up with it. The evil demon and evil gods created as ecology demons are the worst.

But it can't be helped. "

"... Vandaloo, you don't know if you're calm or not calm. Then you want Sandai?"

"I don't know ... I was relieved that I didn't seem to have lost myself.

So, are there four villages that still survive? Let's send the messenger immediately. ''

Talea gave instructions to the men in the village, and himself sat on a handmade throne and looked down on his family following him.

Her eyes are grayish brown, her nails and purple nails stained purple by secreted poison. However, she was a former ethnic ghoul, as can be seen from the non-lettered names with the punctuation marks.

When he was a human, Talea was the daughter of a good armorer. She had inherited her qualities from a young age and showed her talent and was expected to become a more skilled armorer than her parents in the future.

However, her parents lost the store after the Great Shokai moved into her town. And he made a tough decision. He sold Talea as a slave.

Tarea was certainly a talented daughter, but had two sons under her. At that time, nobles and ordinary people were determined to be the men who would take over the house.

Even though Talea and his brothers had clear talents and skills ... no, the family decided to sell her and get the store back.

And Talea was not only talented, she was well-shaped, and she was a girl, but she already had a body-like body and sold at a high price.

She was forced to work as a prostitute at the point where she was sold, she was deeply wounded by the betrayal of her family and the change in her own circumstances, and she was forced to deal with arrogant customers many times, and could not stand it I chose to flee.

Treasure escaped from the prostitute, escaped the town, and escaped.

He escaped from his pursuers, but was caught by a ghoul.

She was despaired of being killed alive, but she was sought after her as a breeding woman, not meat, because the herd of ghouls lacked a small female girl was.

After being subjected to the ritual and becoming a ghoul by humans, Talea lost her rebellious will and opened her body to the ghoul men with helplessness, and spent every day living according to their instructions.

Since it has become a ghoul, even if it escapes from the flock, it will be killed if it is found by a person.

Moreover, because he is a former race, he does not know how to use the strength and poison that he has acquired as a ghoul.

To survive, Talea has to obey the men in herds. But is there a future that will continue this way of life?

The day when such despair caused the eyes to cloud was changed when the men saw the giant boar fur, a giant boar monster that had hunted.

Treasure stroked the fur and remembered the old days, muttering that it would be good armor. The men who heard the mutter said, "Well, make it."

She made it honestly. Gour leather armor of the same quality as sold in human towns with limited materials.

From that moment on, Tale's position in the group was second only to long.

Treasure made weapons from one to the next using monsters hunted by men. Her talent has not changed her glow, even though her race has changed from race to ghoul.

Shield in Giant Scorpion shell, armor in Iron Turtle shell, spear in Impairer Ox horn.

The warriors in the flock belonging to Talea gained the power to hunt monsters one after another, armed with adventurer-like equipment, and even defeat adventurers.

She regained her energy and captured men with the skills she learned during the prostitutes. The girls who were jealous of it were taught a hand tube to make the man watered down so that they could get under themselves.

And for a hundred years as a ghoul, Talea stood at the top of the flock, weaker than anyone in the flock.

More than a hundred years ago, the group, which was once on the verge of extinction, which once had only a dozen, has grown to more than 60, and Ghoul has visited other ghoul settlements in search of Tale's armor, with food for money. It's coming. Its influence has already surpassed more than a hundred Zadiris settlements.

"Huff, you can control this magical world in ten years."

Sit on a comfortable throne cut from Trent, decorate yourself with jewelry taken from the corpse of the adventurer, decorate yourself with rich black hair, thin and polished iron turtle shell with a fan made The appearance of Treasure hiding his mouth is truly worthy of being called the Queen of Ghoul.

...... It's subtle that everything is her own handmade.

Treasure, unfamiliar with the village of Zadiris and without knowledge of the large settlement of the Orcs led by Bugogan, did not doubt that his ambitions would become a reality.

"I'm just a commoner, and even a slave, I'm the ruler of a monk where monsters are much more powerful than humans ... Huh, I'm excited."

"Talea, make my shield."

"Talea, please give me my armor!"

"Wait a little longer! I'll make it properly even if I'm not told!"

The ghouls who are watching are talking about whether their morning routine is almost over. It was Treasure's everyday to be happy every morning.

"Long! We've all beat the metal slime!"

"What's that!?"

And when the warriors who were out on the hunt come back during the night, they suddenly stand up from the throne and shine their eyes.

Then, a silver slime mucus of the same weight as iron in a leather bag in front of her and a core of silver metal slime are also carried.

The moment he saw it, Treasure dyed his cheeks and twisted his body as if he had met a lover after a long time.

"Well ... a metal slime material that has both liquid and metal properties! What kind of weapon ... No armor? Ah, what to do, how can I make good armor?"

Although Talea says she has no sex appeal while she is dim, she is not surprised because the ghouls in her village are already used to it. It looks rather glad.

Talea is the chief of making good arms, and because of the customs of the days of the commoner, or even the lower ones, even if she retired as a woman after she was over 250 years old, He is a popular patriarch.

Somehow Taleah is also familiar with ghouls and enjoys a more fulfilling life than when she was human.

"Long! The guards report that a carriage is approaching here!"

The young ghoul reports there in a hurry.

"Wow! Adventurer. How many people are there?"

There can be no monsters that use carriages at the Makai. Then there is only adventurer.

As if lying in front of the metal slime material, Talea's expression tightened and her eyes glowed sharply.

"It's ghoul around the carriage, and the carriage seems to be undead."

"... How many ghouls were there? If only one or two, there is a possibility that the ghoul was tamed by a tamer."

Talea placed only the demon that he intended outside the carriage and thought he was camouflaged in the bed, but there were five ghouls outside the carriage.

Ghoul is a race that has roots in the goddess Vida, but it is not unreasonable to be tempted by the blood of the demon. However, it is much more difficult than ordinary monsters. If you're simultaneously taming the five ghouls and the undead carriage, you're a top-notch tamper.

I can't imagine such a top-notch tamer taking the time to disguise.

"The ghouls of other settlements may have tampered with the strange undead ... all the warriors who are left out. Protect me."

With five people and one undead, it is unlikely that even if there are only half of the village's warriors left, they will not come to hit him, but just in case, they raked up the escort and Talea appeared on the surface of the village.

Then, as reported, there are five ghouls around the strange carriage undead.

"Stop, what's in my village?"

When Tale, guarded by a large crowd of ghouls, called out, the carriage stopped.

"I want to talk. There is a common enemy, and the other villagers connected to you agreed to cooperate."

"Common enemies ..."

Ghoul will cooperate with the whole race when a common enemy appears. Former Taleah also knew that it was not just a matter of family consciousness, but the most likely to survive, but she was suspicious only of her.

Maybe they are trying to get themselves involved for the benefit of their settlement.

Talea stared at the ghoul who told her, as she quelled the swarming ghouls with the common enemy word with just the sound of a popping fan.

"Can you give me the details?"

It turns out that it is a ghoul, but most ghouls have a simple character. Not very suitable for belly or conspiracy.

So it's better to ask questions straight and easily.

"Yes. I will explain the details."

A small figure coming out of the carriage's hood. Talea noticed the tiny appearance and voice that seemed to be overlooked behind the ghouls.

No, I couldn't miss it.

Just being there, charismatic enough to make you want to kneel.

Long gray hair, bloody crimson and mysterious purple-blue eyes, and pathologically white skin. Something that makes you convinced that the presence in front of you is still superior, even though it is obviously not ghoul.

When noticed, the other ghouls had already pushed their knees to the ground. When Talea was unable to endure and tried to push his knees to the ground, Vandalou told him to stop.

"Thank you, comfortably. Mr. Treasure? I'm Vandaluo, who has recently joined Ghoul King."

The charismatic Lord was afraid of the ghouls trying to lay down.

Individuals with the name of the king, such as the Goblin King and the Kobolt King, can unconditionally obey their kin and encounter them.

This is due to the instinct of demons who want to strengthen themselves and the whole race by joining them and responding to the skill effect of [Reinforcement].

The same thing happened ... no more happened in the Ghoul settlement that Vandaluu visited. In addition to [Reinforcement of kin], the skill effect of [Enchantment of Death Attribute] is also added, so the synergistic effect seems to be amazing.

"Awesome, King"

"I didn't think I would be prone just to talk."

As the escort Ghoul said, everything was amazing. It was as if I had become a senior prince of a drama.

From the perspective of Vandalu, the spectacle of adults, who are much larger than themselves, feels sorry to the contrary.

The three lives together have been living for almost forty years, but subjectively the spiritual growth has varied at the age of 17, 20 and 2 and 7 months. So, Vandalou, who has no awareness or awareness of adults, was very upset because he thought that the title of Ghoul King was only an honorary job to make effective use of skill effects.

I felt even guilty, especially when I heard of other villages trying to kneel down to Taleah, also known as the Queen of Ghoul, who influenced several herds.

"That's why I'd like to borrow power from Talea's village as well. Of course, I don't know if I can call it a reward, but I'll offer you a reward."

As a result, this waist was low.

The basic policy when dealing with other people with poor communication skills in Vandalu is to “get out of control”, which is further spurred.

"That's right, so what is the reward ...?"

"Not immediately, but we can provide a solution to the declining birthrate and items for long-term food storage."

The rewards given to ghouls without a monetary economy are limited. What Vandalou can promise is something to solve the declining birthrate problem that will be created in the near future, and magic items with magic of [keeping fresh].

"Is that true?"

However, the words to solve the declining birthrate issue, and the ghouls including Treasure are amazed and excused. The issue of declining birthrate, as well as the settlement of Zadiris, was a problem for the entire Ghoul race.

They stare at the worshipers looking at Vandaloo, who says it can be solved.

"Stress is likely to improve condition resistance again ..."

I feel bad to put it out. It's only selfish to say, "Be friendly, but don't overreact."

"Well, we'll gladly get under you, Mr. Vandaloo."

"... It's okay to be more friendly, throw away, stow, or just be a little boy."

Stop dressing. Please at least grow a little more.

"Mah ♪"

Why are you so happy?

"Van, this Treasure, will serve you according to your will."

I don't remember asking for such a thing, but somehow Treasure became an aide. I can't understand.

However, it was the moment when Talea found a new ambition.

This young ghoul's king is enlivened to expand his territory outside this magical territory and reign, and he has the ambition to excel as glory as his entourage.

"Never surpassing age 260, such a chance is coming! Huh, once you got pushed down to the bottom, I'll try to see how far you can go up. Until the moment you die!

So Treasure shines his eyes with ambition. Vandalou turns his gaze to Sam's soul as he loses his eyes.

"Bochan, I'm still motivated by older women."

I was praised, but I felt a little different from the one I wanted.

"But if you become a noble, that kind of person will come and I think it will be a good practice just for you."

Darussia saw through Talea's easy-to-understand heart, but he seems to be watching it for experience.

What saves Vandaloo is that the charisma that the Taleas seem to be feeling now will fall completely under him and join under the influence of [Reinforcement of Kin], and the instinct as a demon will be satisfied and weakened.

<< [Reinforcement of Kin] skill level has been increased!

A strange woman was traveling alone in the makai.

It is not unusual, but rare, to be alone. The Adventurer's Guild recommends partying to keep adventurers safe and complete, but this does not preclude solo activities.

However, if you look closely, the equipment and behavior are strange.

All of the woman's equipment looked brand new and unreliable. A small shield that is as small as her face, with no scratches, small leather armor that only hides the chest and waist, etc., at least not protecting it. What I have in my hand is a sword made of just iron.

However, he does not seem frightened and proceeds through the magical area, slaughtering low-ranking monsters such as horn rabbits and goblins that swoop with a sword swing.

However, he does not try to strip cashable protest sites or materials from the killed monsters.

"Solo Soroka"

A voice that does not make you feel animated leaks from between your lips. Then an oak appeared around the woman. In addition to being completely enclosed, there was a noble oak with golden hair growing behind it, which was twice as large as a normal oak.

Instead of resisting the orcs commanding to throw their weapons out of nostrils, the woman dropped her sword on the spot without showing any signs of loss.

There was no fear or any emotion on his face.

Talea is a special animal that has become a ghoul after a ritual by a human girl who has been gifted with the talent of the night as well as the skill of an armorer. Make weapons used by the warriors in the flock, and then make them more watered. She teaches her other hand female ghouls her own skills and skills, and at the same time teaches her skills as an armorer, so she can clearly understand the hierarchical relationship.

However, she has never hunted her prey, and her level as a demon has not risen. She can be said to be the weakest ghoul. At the same time, however, as a weapons craftsman, he has the skills to be able to make the best of a noble family or a big town.

Of course, this is the result of more than two hundred years of effort and experience, but human society has the latest tools available, a well-equipped environment and a wide variety of materials, and if you return a job from a prostitute to an armorer, her skills Will be even higher.

About forced job change

Special treatment given to sinners and those who fall into slavery. However, this does not reduce your stats or lose your skills, and the effect on your stats is only to increase the level of the job you were in at the time.

However, it is always displayed when checking the status in the guild etc., which has the effect of preventing the escape of slaves.

However, this was a measure taken more than two hundred years ago, and now the mainstream is to wear a collar that can only be removed by the owner due to the development of alchemy.
