The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 27: At Xintiandi. Apparently it is a child of the oracle
The spy, fired to follow the ghouls, returned shortly after entering the Border Mountains, as expected by Military Palpapek.
The report was strange, saying, "There was a trace of a carriage on a steep mountain range that could not be climbed by a carriage."
Did Dumpir transform the carriage into a special magic item? No, not at all.
"But I'm sure you've tried to cross the mountains, so I can't really follow it any more."
Upon receiving a report, Thomas Palpapek gave up on the dumping request of the vampire.
Originally, Dumpel's cleanup did not mean he had to succeed at all costs.
Vampires will not cut themselves if they fail, nor will they lose their lives. Both the army's chair and the Earl's rank are solid.
It's just a matter of responding to vampires' requests on another occasion, enduring the hate of the Treasurer, and hurting their heads when dealing with political opponents.
Of course, Danpeel was angry and his pride was hurt. However, the man named Thomas Palpapek was not young enough to try to get rid of the profitability.
"That's why, bad, I can't help you anymore in the care of Dumpel."
So he told the vampire familiar who came into the room as usual, with a calm face. Over there, he predicted that he would give up on Dumpel's pursuit, while ridiculing himself.
For vampires, it doesn't mean they have to defeat that dampel anyway.
"... You guessed that Dumpel was a Ghoul King, and he still pulled the ghoul across the mountains?"
I was surprised when I returned the question in a bitter tone, not a ridicule.
"Yes"
"Chill, it's troublesome. Hey, can't you really help anymore? What's going on?"
Contrary to Thomas's expectation, the vampire's voice was fraught with frustration, which was clearly evident even through familiarity. I just said I had done something terrible.
"Whether you ask an adventurer or fuel the fanatics of the past.
"It seems like you're impatient to say that you think you can't do it."
Certainly, there is enough money to make a request in the adventurer's guild without moving soldiers and knights. However, what kind of thing lovers can not survive just normal, but cross the mountains where you do not know how many magical areas, defeat Dampir who is working with hundreds of ghouls, and again cross the mountains Do you want a request that you can't come back without?
Even if the Earl's family prepares a commission that is inclined, no one will receive it.
Even the Gordan High Priest, who was called a fanatic, would have wanted to chase D'Ampiel himself, but had been persuaded by the temple and had already left this area for the next sanctuary.
"What happened? Did you say that there was something in that dumpile?"
"... I have nothing to do with you!"
He shouted at it without trying to hide his frustration, and the familiar jumped out of the window. Thomas looked suspicious in that appearance, but once guessed it was irrelevant to say nothing if he had nothing to do with it.
Although you are dealing with a vampire, you do not want to share all the secrets separately. On the contrary, it is often better not to know.
I guess that dumpile is something. If not, the nursing child will survive and cannot mimic the ghouls.
But such "something" is not worthy of extra caution for Thomas as a military commander. A powerful demon in the Orbaum election kingdom. The country is constantly under such threats. Just join one.
It's not a happy event, but it's not enough to turn pale and panic.
We will gradually increase our military power while watching the balance with our economic power and maintain vigilance. If you do it, you are not afraid.
No matter how much the swarm of dumples and ghouls grow, they won't be able to destroy the fort in a flash like a high-ranking dragon.
Military Palpapek notices that the tea in the cup is completely cold, calls on his servant and asks him to re-brew, and if he drinks, he doesn't care about that vampire who is likely to be busy in the future. did.
The vampire who took his familiar away from the house of the army lord ... Cercrent Ozba was Dateo, who looked like a noble in a vampire society.
Now, however, he repeatedly tongues, scraped his head, and violently agitated the red liquid in the glass.
"I'm sorry, shit!"
The appearance of Celcrent, which bites his teeth and makes the sound of bruxism sound, was suspected of being dignified when seen by other vampires, but he could not afford to care about manners.
As Thomas Palpapek had imagined, the occurrence of a dampir was not a threat to the evil deity vampires. It's an event.
If one parent is the original species, the rabbit is also a horn, and if it is a precious or dependent species, the children are not so threatening to them, so both parents will execute the show with success, and those who succeed will get praise from those who reign at the top of the faction .
It's just such a game.
But there are still some exceptions.
It's about Dampiel's adulthood, building his own power, and heading to the hammer's handle, separated by the mountains, south of the Barangay continent.
Serclent had been ordered from his "parent", the original, which had to be prevented.
An adult dampir is likely to be an annoying enemy with the same combat abilities as its parent vampire, but with few vampire weaknesses.
And when you build your own power, you can create a powerful organization with that power. Once a country was destroyed, the vampire community in the shadow of that country was destroyed. The fact that the leader of the mercenary corps who achieved this was actually a dumper is a story that is not known to the table society but is famous in the vampire society.
In addition, vampires still worship the goddess Vida in the southern continent, separated by the border mountains. It is whispered that a small but large number of the original vampires have survived, some of whom fought against the gods and heroes of Arda with the vampire ancestors 100,000 years ago.
If you join the Vida, it may be the worst war with your group. Incredibly, they don't know what to do because they are shameless to admit that they are children of Vida, even if they are mixed.
But Celcrent would have had no need to worry. Only the traitor's ability to withstand the sunshine killed the subordinates. His mother, Dark Elf, sent intelligence to Military Palpapek, which was eventually burned by the fanatic.
I failed to get rid of the important dumpies, but I can't survive a baby who can't eat on her own.
But it turned out to be a magical zone, which also seems to be leading a group of ghouls. Still, at that time, the Military had moved the army and thought that it would end.
So there was no going on their own or dispatching their subordinates.
But the outlook for Celcrent was weak. Dumpir led his ghoul, and overwhelmed the mountains.
Perhaps he was scrambling down the eyes of a military officer's dispatched spy and moving along the mountains, but he realized that it was dangerous to cling to its potential without ascertaining.
"Suckling cheeky mixed-breeds, the order is usually reversed!"
Why did you build your own power before you grew up and cross that mountain range, which is extremely dangerous! Speaking to Vandaluh that he would be compelled to shout, "Because you will hunt down!", Celcrent stood up first to report to the superior noble vampire, and trimmed his disturbed hair. Was.
I didn't really want to report a blunder, but Sercrent is dominated by magic so I couldn't ignore it.
Serkrent, a stringer behind Milk Shield Military Count Earl Thomas Palpapek, is, after all, just a cadre of vampires.
"Oh, why are you doing such a sloppy treatment? Wyvern's skin has a piece of meat, and the needle wolf's fur is full of holes! Did you forget to use a knife when peeling? "
When I got off the mountains, Taleah was very well. It's almost like another person recovering.
Perhaps Vandalou thinks that debilitation may have been just altitude sickness. However, since Talea is old, there is no change.
"Okay, we'll be looking inside the Makai."
After resting overnight and restoring their magic, Vandaloo decided to go reconnaissance before entering the magical area. You can scout with Remulus or the insect undead, but you can often see it with your own eyes.
And we need to see how much the undead in this ruined paradise will follow him.
Apart from Vandalu, members include Sam, Thalia, Rita, Bonebird, Zadiris, and several ghouls of rank 4 or higher.
The defense is left to the Ghoul warriors, led by Vigalo, and the undead monkeys.
"Everyone can leave it to us!"
"Van, you're coming home. The man has to go out to hunt, get his prey, and come back to where the woman is waiting."
"Yes. Basdia, please take care of her."
The Vandaloos set out to take care of the life dead. He seems to be on an excursion, but he realized he wasn't told that the responsibilities were significant.
This is because the ruins of the ruins where you can set foot must secure the feeding of about 600 ghouls and demons. It's nothing more than a vandaloo who brought them here.
Because it can stop corruption by death attribute magic, there is no cost other than magical power to save food, and since the clear stream flowing from the mountains seems to pass through the waterway in the ruins, it will not be inaccessible to water, so it is difficult There will be none, but the responsibility is still heavy.
"I'm not so nervous, my shoulders are getting stiff ... I'm really stiff, boy."
"Ah, so, uh ... paradise"
A young child who is about to be three years old who is rubbing shoulders at 293 years old (rejuvenated) this year. Speaking of which, Vandalou closed his eyelids too comfortably, saying that getting people to rub their shoulders might be the first experience.
"No, I can't sleep even though I'm leaving. Sam, leaving."
Instantly wipes out drowsiness with Passive Skill [Condition Abnormality Tolerance].
"Understood"
And the Vandaloos set foot in the ruins of the ruins.
The ruins of the ruins were a mixture of those of different natures. A magical area where life is not felt except for the ivy and moss in the center, and a ruined magical area that is being swallowed by a forest that covers the outside of that magical area.
Despite the same ruins, it is highly likely that the demons that appear will be different because the environment is obviously different.
And it was quickly proven.
"Zugaaaaaaaa!"
Raising a strange roar, a monster resembling a wolf, about three meters long, with countless needles on its back, came in. A monster that appeared even when crossing the mountains, the Bandarurus called it "Needle Wolf."
At rank 3 or equivalent, when it appears to make a flock even though it is wolf, it is almost alone.
"Eh!
"Gubi !?"
And they are ferocious but have low intelligence. Ordinary adventurers will struggle with the fangs and claws, and the needles with altered fur over their backs, but Rita, a living bikini armor, is an enemy that can easily be defeated.
By the way, Needle Wolf is wolf-like, but the meat is rich and delicious. Later, the belly fur is fluffy and soft, making it ideal for clothing and rug materials.
"I just thought, isn't this a hedgehog-like wolf, but a wolf-like hedgehog monster?"
"Maybe, I don't make herds"
Well, in any case, if you include the internal organs that need to be processed by one animal, you can get close to 200 kg of food, which is still a good prey.
When I tried to drain the Needlewolf, this time a river ... water splashed from the waterway.
"Shaaaaaaaa!"
What a shame, three sharks over two meters long, jumped out of the waterway and opened their mouths full of zorori and fangs.
"Wow!"
"Fish doesn't fly!"
Zadiris strikes one of the sharks with a fist of the air, singing [air strike], ahead of the ghoul warriors surprised by the sight of the sharks flying and attacking.
Next, Vandaloo exploded the head of the second animal with [magic bullets] that squeezed the magic to the limit, and Rita knocked down the third one with Grave's [flash].
"Dad, I saw this big fish for the first time."
"This may be a dolphin I heard or a whale."
"Well, Sam-don't know. Because the magical area where we were, we didn't see too big fish or aquatic monsters.
What are you upset about just because a whale flew! Your rank is up and you're loose! ? "
"Suu, Sama Elder"
"Gurul, exposing himself. Next time, he is not surprised if the whale flies."
"No, I think it's a shark, right?"
Vandalu who explained to Sam who did not know the story heard from humans about the marine creatures in the inland living without the sea for a long time, and Zadiris who only knew the river fish that this monster was not a whale but a shark creature. (Speaking of which, I saw this terrestrial broadcast of a B-class movie.) I named this monster "Flying Shark."
"For now, let's stop bleeding near waterways"
Because sharks are sensitive to the smell of blood, bleeding prey nearby may require you to fight endlessly against the flying sharks that live in the waterways.
Blood bleeding is just a matter of lightening the weight of the prey, because you can stop corruption with the magic of death.
The individual who blew his head off the rocks was dismantled away from the waterway and brought only the fins and liver. After that, he threw it into Sam's carrier along with Needle Wolf and took it as it was.
"Bochan, why do you bring fins?
"If you process it correctly, I think it will be a good food for beauty."
Should a shark fin be peeled and then dried? Vandaloo was in a good mood for the feeling of luxury ingredients. ... I didn't expect liver oil to be a deep-sea shark.
Then, when passing by the collapsed building as you are heading for the area where the undead appears, behind the magical area-
"Oh, enemy attack from inside the building"
After Vandalu said, several creatures with giant scale-covered skin came out of the building.
The same vertically split eyes as reptiles, a mouth with sharp tusks growing like a shark, and a hind leg with a knife-like claw, standing just two meters high, is just a dinosaur.
However, because Glow warriors responded immediately and were unilaterally defeated, they were surprised to find out where they were lurking in advance.
"Oh ..."
And Vandalu stared at the immovable dinosaur with impressive gaze.
When I saw Wyvern for the first time, I was impressed, but this is definitely a dinosaur ... a creature that is extinct on Earth and the Origin and can only be found in fossils.
Dinosaurs are a symbol of ancient romanticism for Vandaloo, who had been forced to cancel his chance to go to the museum on a school excursion at an elementary school on earth, and the dinosaur was a symbol of ancient romanticism. Seeing was one of the goals I wanted to live.
"Boy, I'm thinking about going forward ...?"
"King, is that big lizard good?"
"Finally, it doesn't look like a dragon,"
However, for the Zadiris, they were only a monster of a rank 3 or 4 lizard, not a dragon, so they were just confused by Vandaloo's appearance.
“… Is it okay to make a skeletal specimen and create a private museum once we have enough material to use?”
It was only after he had dreamed for a while that he became aware of the confusion surrounding him.
Dinosaurs ... Vandaloos were attacked several more times after the raids.
The goblins are everywhere, large fish such as the dragonfly of the huge carnivorous dragonfly, and the enthusiasts who hardly encountered Bugugans in the dense forest, because their movements were slow, beware of the branches and vines wandering It wasn't a struggling opponent.
Against a rather strong opponent, they fought again with a small group of raptors, a giant saber tiger five meters in length, and a hornbear, such as a horn bear, that shoots out a thirty-centimeter horn growing all over the body.
The result was understood.
"This monster seems to have a lot of monsters."
"For real. It's good to have a lot of prey, but I can hardly proceed
There are too many demons, and almost all of them are ferocious. It is convenient for the ghouls to attack from the demon because it makes hunting easier, and a platoon led by individuals of rank 4 or higher can win without problems if they are of such strength.
However, the raids were so numerous that the band had not progressed a kilometer since entering the ruins. The search is far from progressing, given that there were roads that could not be reached with collapsed buildings and overgrown trees.
"After all, demons are increasing because no adventurers come?"
"I think it's there, but maybe this magical world doesn't have the same ghouls as we do, so we have more heads than the timid goblins and appearances other than the evil monsters like Needlewolf. A good-looking raptor-like monster will attack you.
I don't know our ability. ''
Adventurers who thin out monsters do not come to the ruins of the ruins, which are sandwiched between the left and right sides of this border mountain range. That's why demons are increasing.
In addition, since no ghouls are inhabited, the monsters may be attacking aggressively just as "intruders" because they do not know the power of the ghouls.
If the guess is correct, settle down if the ghouls settle down a little while after the ghouls hunt for monsters on behalf of the adventurers and refrain from attacking monsters who have learned the strength of ghouls. But it might just be a good environment.
"Well, the monsters have almost stopped attacking me."
Zadiriz said Zanderozoro and a row of living dead walking behind Sam-glanced at what Vandaloo had undead deadly on a prey that Sam could no longer carry.
Many of the demons are ferocious, and in some cases they do not hesitate to kill each other. However, if you are too hungry or hunted down by a superior opponent, or you will not strip your fangs unless you have an advantage.
The sight of killing and undead demons of the same kind proves that the monsters are clearly superior to the vandaloos.
However, Needle Wolf and Goblin still attack recklessly.
"After that, let's not go near the waterway."
"Yes, that seems sensitive to the smell of blood."
Watching for the Flying Shark, they went to the center of the ruins of the undead's nest.
The center of the ruined demon lands reached was a good sight that could be said to be a kind of art even though it was ruined.
A huge castle still rises, and there are a number of buildings around it, reminiscent of former glory.
And there were humanoid monsters all over the place, such as a barely felt life.
"Skeleton, it's the size of the giant I heard in the story. Apparently this was a giant country. '
The skeletons were all well over two meters, and those around three meters were not uncommon. It's not just taller, but the bones are generally thicker and stronger than those of race.
And while he was not aware of the perimeter where the building was severely damaged, all of the ruined buildings and furnishings were large. The floor-to-ceiling height of a heavy stone building is typically four or five meters high, and the little buckets picked up by Ghoul warriors now seem to be broken cups.
If the ex-adventurer Katya was in the party, you might remember that some 200 years ago there was a giant nation that attempted to annihilate and invade the Milg Shield in the order of the Amid Empire. Absent.
Giant race. It is the first new race created by the goddess Vida after the battle with the Demon King.
Among the kins of the heart-broken giant god Zeno, a race born from the crossing of the sun giant Talos and the goddess, who did not become evil or evil gods, but kept the noble spirit and goodness.
A robust and strong body, a giant shield is more reliable than any wall, but it is a warrior tribe that claims to break any wall if they turn to attack.
"Well, this is my first time seeing the real thing."
Born in the Mirung Shield under the influence of the Amid Empire, which discriminates against the new race of Vida, Vandaloo, who has lived out of town seriously, has never seen a giant race.
Not only him, but also under the influence of the Amid Empire, adventurers from the new races of Vida are rare, so not only Sam, who had been servants of the nobles before life, but also Zadiris and Ghoul, for the first time.
"... the real thing is only bones, King"
However, there seems to be some objection that "I saw the giant race" with only bones as expected.
"There are more than just bones."
But as soon as he saw a giant zombie who appeared from the back of the building, he pointed to him, he silenced. Well, you may not have been convinced and thought it was just useless.
On the contrary, it was no problem to be able to relax at a glance over hundreds of undead, just like in previous dungeons.
Many of the undead were armed with rusted swords, axes, and spears that lacked the tip, but without setting them up, paved the way to the Vandaloos, followed by a series of those who hung their heads with their knees.
The attitude is the same for Zadiris and Ghoul other than Vandaloo, and does not show any hostility.
"I guess the undead, who haven't really tamed, will grow up. If you just don't attack, the rabbits will be surprised, and you'll be surprised to see this defenseless figure."
"Yes, I was surprised at first."
For the time being, I was preparing magic so that I could attack anyone other than myself and fellow undead like Sam, but it seems that I do not need to worry about that.
It's a bit restful, but just to make sure, do a [discrimination] of non-attribute magic-
[Skeleton Warrior (Giant) Rank 3 A monster whose giant warrior who has been killed is undead. I hate all living beings, especially those who killed me]
At last, information came out unexpectedly. The level of non-attribute magic is 1, and I was surprised when I checked out the corpse of Raptor yesterday, because she only showed [the corpse of a dinosaur-like monster], so I never expected it at all.
By examining other skeleton soldiers and skeletons that stood on the knees, I was able to know the rank, a simple description of the demon, as well as the name.
However, if you use [Appraisal] for a suitable weed, you will only find [Weed Weed].
Apparently, Vandaloo's [Appraisal] seems to be able to obtain information beyond the skill level and the knowledge of the caster only for undead.
"So how are you, Bochan?
"Yes, I think they will listen to me, so let's ask if there is any undead coordinator and talk about migration."
Considering the result of the information obtained in [Appraisal]. Unlike the bones made by Vanderlu, they seem to have the corpse's original spirit in it.
Vandalou thinks that the story might be there, but usually no one wants to negotiate with the undead.
But Zadiris and Ghoul, who are used to the undead who can speak and communicate fluently like Sam, did not disagree with the policy and, indeed, Vandaloo was right.
Temples, especially those that have been demolished and partly collapsed in the ruins, have revealed demons that look different from other undead.
"Oh ... what ..."
The undead, dressed in a priestly garment with a torn hem and a discolored yellow stomach on a bone-like mummy-like body, was walking straight towards the Vandalus.
Oh, oh, approaching with a voice that is unclear whether it is impressed or not, the ghouls are puzzled by the undead near 3 meters, but they are holding their weapons, and Saria and Rita face the puzzled face ... To
But if they weren't in the sight, Undead struck his knees in front of Vandaloo, crouching, and said:
"Son of the oracle, you have come down to this" city of the sun, "Talosheim. Give us salvation just waiting to return to the dust!
The Zadylis were more confused by the words of the undead, but Vandaloo looked at him silently.
However, the eyes are always dead with no expression, it just seems to calm down, but in fact it is too embarrassed and just consciously skips consciousness as `` I feel like I have two more names '' However.
[Death attribute fascination] level has been raised!
Demon description @ Anubis
A variant of Kobolt, born because he was immersed in the magic of the death attribute as a fetus. Basic rank is 3
All physical abilities exceed Kobolt, and intelligence is no exception. However, there are no claws on the limbs in Kobolt, but the fingers can be used dexterously.
Many individuals have innate [dark vision] and [condition anomaly tolerance] skills, and have a higher magical status and are more suitable for magic than ordinary Kobolts.
Sexual desire and fertility are inferior to normal Kobold, at most about three at a time, and the time required for a born child to become an adult is three months, compared to three months for a normal Kobold It takes about a month.
The figure looks like a dark-skinned human with a black-haired dog's head and tail. If you can successfully hide your head and tail, you may be able to impersonate a human.
The life expectancy is estimated, but it is estimated that ordinary Kobolt is more than twice as long as about 30 years.
Since it was just born as a race, it is unknown what kind of superior species exist.
If you report the existence of Anubis to the adventurer's guild with evidence, you can get a small reward because it is a report of an unknown monster, but at present it is difficult.
