The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 28: Initial Objective Can Be Achieved
"Son of the oracle, you have come down to this [the city of the sun] Tarosheim. Please give us salvation just waiting to return to dust!"
Vandalu was worshiped by the mummy undead, and was stunned for a while. It was when Darcia called out to return to sane.
"Vandalu, hey, are you okay?
"Wow, yes, it's okay, just a little surprised.
May I have a story? Well ... "
"Of course, Miko. I'm Nuaz of Rich."
rich. Nuaza, who claims to be an undead monster with the knowledge and skills of a man with magic skills after his death, continued.
"Exposing the remnant figure to the child now is Talosheim, a giant fortified city state proclaimed and prospered as [the city of the sun. As you can see, it is now a magical territory due to the sudden invasion and destruction of the Milg shield country about 200 years ago.
Please wait just to return to the dust-"
"I'm sorry, can I tell you a little more detail?"
Conversation with the undead requires patience, but sometimes it is important to interrupt and guide.
To sum up Nuaz's account, it appears that this was a city-state made up of hundreds of thousands of years ago, the battles between the goddess Vida and Arda, who were defeated but survived giants.
Although it was a location between the border mountains where there are fewer parts that are not magical, the secret of the hero and the knowledge that the hero Zakart left, the land where the sun shines shortly, succeeded in obtaining the rich blessings of the sun. .
And the giants cultivated the land with their own strong bodies, cleared them, created rich fields, named their founder, [the city of the sun] Talosheim, worshiping the goddess Vida and the brave Zacht Was alive.
He trained his body, honed his martial arts skills, challenged dungeons in search of the shortage of supplies, obtained abundant stones, and built strong and beautiful white forts.
The rocks, the metal, and the meat, the giants have obtained in battle with the demon.
After discovering an ancient tunnel in the eastern mountains, he embarked on a highway to the eastern Orbaum Kingdom and commenced trade.
Dungeon-produced products sold well in the Orbaum royal kingdom, bringing wealth and prosperity to Tarosheim.
But prosperity was eroded by the sudden emergence of the Milg shield.
"Without any notice, one day a force suddenly emerged across the mountains and stormed Tarosheim."
From here on, a story I heard later from Sam's father and daughter who was serving the noble of the Mirung shield country and Katya, a former adventurer waiting for the return of the Bandarurus, and a story of Nuaza from speculation from there Is described supplementally.
About two hundred years ago, the Milg Shield was ordered to subdue a giant nation under the names of the Amid Empire and the Temple of Arda.
It had a religious meaning to maintain master-slave relations with the Milg shield nation, which at that time had increased its power, to cut down on the power stored against the giant nations, and to fulfill the belief of the hero Bellwood. .
At this time, for the first time, Vandalu knew, but Bellwood, a representative of the three brave men who fought on the side of the god of law, Arda, said, `` We came from a different world and mischievously transferred knowledge and skills The consequences seize the opportunity for people in this world to make progress on their own, and even if they seem like good things in the short term, they will always be a disaster in the long term. "
For this reason, Zakart, who was trying to spread the skills, knowledge and culture of another world by searching for the original rice species in this lambda and cultivating varieties by magic and recommending rice cultivation, was before he was revived as an undead by the goddess Vida They seemed to have collided frequently.
At the time of the battle between Arda and Vida at the time, the Bellwoods seemed to have destroyed as much as possible the technology and culture of the different worlds that Zaccato had built.
It lives in the Amid Empire, which claims to be a descendant of Bellwood, and the Temple of Arda, who calls him a saint. Of course, besides the heroes and the gods who called them, it is impossible to tell whether their knowledge and skills came from another world or were the result of their development in this world. He seems to be making decisions based on certain criteria.
By the way, the cause of the Amid Empire's invasion of the Orbaum election kingdom with rice culture also comes from here.
Well, for that political reason and religious significance, the forces of the Amir Empire led by Milg Shield struggled to find a route that would cross the Border Mountains safely and direct more than 10,000 troops to Tarosheim. Dispatched.
Surely, the Amid Empire had a purpose other than to take away Tarosheim's wealth.
And even the soldiers of the Milg Shield who reluctantly dispatched, for them, the giant is not a human but a race inferior to the humans created by the filthy goddess. It must have done merciless looting and murder.
Talosheim, whose villages were burned and robbed, was not the only brave and talented warrior against monsters.
Although he had no experience of large-scale pvp battles, the warrior's wielding sword easily slaughtered the soldiers of the Milg Shield, and the shield protruded forward by the knight of the Milg Shield was a flesh and bone with a thin spear. Crushed until.
Above all, there were many heroes in Tarosheim.
[Sword King] Volks has defeated any powerful monster with a single sword.
[Healing Saint] Gina, a young head of the Vida Temple and a master of life attribute magic.
Ogburn, who loves loneliness and captures all dungeons in Tarosheim solo.
Hold halberds on both arms. A barrage of [Twin Spear Ax] that kicked enemies like a storm.
Despite being born into a giant who is not good at magic, a young second princess [Small genius] Zandia who has aptitude for all attributes.
"Is there no name without a cloud point because it is a new race of Vida like Ghoul?
I thought so, but I read the air and didn't say it.
These heroes helped prevent Talosheim from marching on the Milg Shield, but the hero was the same as the enemy.
The hero of the Milg shield country who participated as reinforcements, the A-class adventurer of the next S-class promotion candidate, Michael of [Hikami spear]. With his participation again, the balance of the battle leaned toward Milg Shield.
`` The warriors who fought with the heroes are the legendary magic items that Michael wields, the national treasure of the Milg shield country with the anecdote that the ice god who served the goddess of water and knowledge trained for the brave, the magic spear of ice I was defeated one after another before [Ice Age].
Eventually, the walls were breached and the savage Milg shield army avalanche came into town. ''
All he could do in Talosheim was to evacuate the unfeasible girls and children and the elderly by the First Princess and his SS to escape from the tunnel to the Orbaum election, where there was trade.
"I, as an apprentice, also fought to the end as one of the priests of the goddess Vida.
However, he died because he could not reward the hatred Michael and protect Gina and Zandia. ''
Even after Nuaza's death, the Milg Shield did not stop the destruction and looting, and Michael attempted to destroy the goddess Vida's hidden treasure, hidden deep beneath the castle of Tarosheim.
However, under the basement, there is a dragon golem created by the goddess himself to protect the treasure, and even Michael, whose S-class promotion was regarded as certain, could not be destroyed.
On the contrary, the dragon golem's right arm and wings are destroyed, the tail is cut in the middle and the head is crushed, but his friends are annihilated. Michael himself was seriously injured, and he could only throw an evil spear into the still-moving golem, trapped it in the ice for a short while, and escaped into that gap.
Despite the victory, the military resistance of the giants was exhausted, and the hero of the flaghead was also dying. The Milg Shield was unable to occupy Tarosheim and withdrew.
Even if they defeated the Tarosheim giants, there was no limit to the number of monsters coming from the surrounding evil spirits, being lured by the smell of blood.
Nuaza didn't know what happened to the winning nations, the Milg Shield and the Amid Empire, but they seemed to have lost much of their victory.
Michael died in a few days after returning to Milg Shield, despite his hard work. Many of the elite troops of the Mirung Shield were wounded and injured, and many survivors could no longer work.
Moreover, the value of the precious goods that could be looted because the first princesses who had escaped on the Talosheim side had all the valuable treasures and assets, compared to spending huge battle expenses, It was low.
In addition, because the first princess fled to the election of Orbaum, the elected kingdom who obtained information on the invasion of Tarosheim attacked the friendly nation without a cause, and sent Tenchu to the Mirung shield country and its lord, the Amid Empire. He dropped the soldier.
An unexpected struggle against Tarosheim, Milg Shield, which had breached the marginal defenses that had been sending reinforcements, had its forts dropped and its town occupied.
The Amid Empire had to dispatch troops in a hurry to defend the country, which was originally a shield.
Until then, the Amid Empire had been expanding its territory by invading the Orbaum election kingdom, but in this defeat the territory that had been taken away was quickly retaken. It is said that most of the last two hundred years of the war have been used to retake the territory that was retaken at that time. In the last war, he finally got a new territory.
In addition, the monsters in the Border Mountains, which had been decimated by Tarosheim adventurers until now, have rapidly increased due to the destruction of Tarosheim, and monsters have begun to overflow from dungeons where there are no more captures.
As a result, the mysterious territory has spread, and it seems that Milg Shield has not been able to return to the national treasures again by using a safe route, but it has become difficult to approach the border mountains.
In other words, the invasion of Tarosheim was a historical failure for the Amid Empire and especially for the Mirgu Shield.
Knowing that, Nuaza is a mummy face but a full smile-.
"Zama!"
She seemed to be ascended and seemed to be ascending unintentionally.
In fact, the nation has been destroyed, including yourself, so it is natural to think so.
Nevertheless, Vandalou thought that he was amazed by the Amid Empire and the Milg Shield.
There was a tunnel in Tarosheim that safely crossed the eastern mountains, so instead of suddenly invading the brute force, we made a break-off work between Tarosheim and the election of Orbaum and went until he turned over If not, they would have to conclude a non-aggression treaty and then surprise the Orbaum kingdom through a tunnel.
I would have been able to fight in favor of purchasing supplies, including food, from Tarosheim, while maintaining supply lines.
Nevertheless, giving priority to a strange national policy or religious meaning, the military power of the Milg shield country is cut down too much from the plan and allows the enemy country to fight back. Even in Vandalu, who has no experience in military simulation games, isn't this a stupid thing to come up with?
I do not agree with Rodcorte, but it is an empire of the poor world.
"Yeah, neither the Milg Shield nor the Amid Empire do anything really good. I wish I could die."
"Boy, I guess the Sams were from the Milg shield country ..."
"Bochan, there are some people in the Milg shield country like Kati, so it's a little killing."
"that's right. Well, I was chased by the mysterious territory because of the Milg shield country, but not everyone is a bad person. '
"We were born in the Milg Shield, but now we are ready to run over and kill even the country's own. But don't forget your wide view, Bochan. "
"My Son, we are also resentful of the Mirgu Shield and the Amid Empire two hundred years ago. In our giants, our parents and grandfathers, and in humans, we are already too close to our great-grandfather. The goddess says that he should not turn to his offspring. ''
"Yes, Vandaloo. Don't forget the kindness of Evvezia. Mother is happy if you don't forget kindness. '
When he departed with hatred like a dreg at the bottom of his heart, he was told from all directions. I can't understand. No, actually I can understand, and you know what everyone is saying is more correct.
"Yes, moderately.
By the way, what is the Son of the oracle? "
He covered his hatred of hearts and urged Nuaza to continue, and he told us what had happened to them after the war.
Of the giants that died due to hatred killed and not buried, half died within a month, and when they met with the undead militia soldiers, they died immediately but killed each other. Developed.
And win. However, even though he was undead, he had a strong desire to protect his homeland, and did not go on an expedition to the Milg Shield to take revenge.
But she was worried that the First Princesses had safely let the people escape to the Orbaum election, and some went to the tunnel.
However, the tunnel had already collapsed and the entrance was closed. Originally, if the party passed through the tunnel so that the followers of the Milg shield would not go, they were going to close it with a secret device.
When the tunnel is closed, the princesses have left the tunnel. I don't know what difficulties they face in the election of Orbaum, but I decided to believe in Duke Hartner, who had a direct deal with the election, a friendly nation.
We are undead and we do not know for certain if we intend to keep our reason, nor how long it will last. In such a situation, chasing the princesses will not help but will pull the legs.
That's because the majority thought.
Still, some left to cross the mountains and did not return. Dozens of those who did not chase the princesses disappeared and disappeared.
And the remaining Nuazs returned to Tarosheim, where there were no living people, and spent days protecting the ruins.
"It was a path to destruction slowly"
Surrounding Tarosheim were a number of mages, and there were dungeons where adventurers dived for supplies every day.
However, the undead Nuazs gathered in the center of the ruins, at and around the Royal Castle, did not go outside, and of course did not hunt monsters themselves or dive into dungeons.
As a result, the number of demons continued to increase, and the contaminated magical powers and magic elements emitted by the monsters accumulated, and the magical boundary continued to spread over two hundred years, finally reaching into this Tarosheim.
Nuazas are exterminated if monsters other than their giant undead enter the center of Tarosheim. Their skill ... the demonic rank is quite high. It is an undead created by the corpses of elite giant warriors and the spirits of the warriors dwelling in them.
For them, the hundreds and two hundreds of monsters that have spilled over from the magical territory and the dungeons that they have been hunting are only killers.
However, nobody was active enough to purify the demons that had entered the ruins themselves, perhaps because of a mental problem.
In the first place, they are demons, so they cannot be completely purified.
On the other hand, in the evil spirits that gradually erode, demons continue to increase at a rate that is incomparable to ordinary creatures. And it is consumed in the fierce competition for survival, but as a result of the competition for survival, strong people increase.
Talosheim's undead, on the other hand, can be reduced in number but not increased.
Normally, the undead hordes are also undead, even if the adventurers and demonic corpses returned are undead, and the number of victims increases, but no adventurers come here.
And many of the undead monsters are not recognized as similar because many of their nuazas maintain their personality before life, and it seems that they were defeated from the edge where they began to move.
The Nuaz and Tarosheim undead will return to the dust when, at some point, more than a thousand powerful monsters rush from the outer evil spirits.
"We thought it was right. As time passes, we gradually decrease. There is no point in having a stray undead that has forgotten both skill and resentment. I just waited for the time of destruction while praying to the princesses and their children with happiness while guarding the graves of my homeland.
But one day I received an oracle from the goddess. '
It was at that time that Nuaza had completed fifty years of restoring the statue of a goddess destroyed by soldiers in the Milg Shield.
"A white child comes in with his children, etc., forgotten from the west. He will guide you to prosperity and glory. '
Hearing a deep, loving voice, he intuitively recognized it as a goddess oracle.
At the same time, I remembered a legend from my ancestors. The founder of the vampire, born between the goddess Vida and the great hero Zaccato, left a prophecy when slain by the hero Bellwood.
"I will be revived once I am destroyed, bring up my brothers and rise to arrogant apostles of God!
And I was convinced. The white child in the oracle must be the founder of the legendary vampire.
More than a hundred years later, Nuaza met a white child who emits a divine aura (the effect of death attribute enchantment), attracted by a ghoul that is a new race of Vida, but which is completely recognized as a monster in human society. It is.
"Oh, you are the white child in the oracle, the return of the goddess and the son of the hero. Stand up with us, prosperity and glory-"
"No, wait a minute, oracles and prophecies are mixed."
Vandaloo hurriedly stopped Nuaza in a state of excitement.
He was confused when he was called the Son of the oracle, but it is dangerous to continue to be confused just by adding strange predictions. If this is the case, it could be celebrated as the leader of God against Arda.
Although Vandalu dislikes Alda and his followers and is basically hostile, this is a force hesitant to fight against a high priest and a few or more of his subordinates.
The undead, no matter how cool and rational they seem to be, are basically driven by desire and urge. If you get badly excited, it can be like "I'm going to attack Milg shield country as it is!"
And while the oracle was still in doubt, Prophecy was doubtful.
The oracle may be a delusion that you believe you heard of Nuaza's undead, but the content is consistent with those of Vandaloo. I did not intend to lead to prosperity and glory, but what Vandaloos may do in the future could lead to prosperity and glory for Nuaza.
If you were living on earth, you wouldn't believe it was an oracle, but it was actually a bastard, but as long as there were gods, there were gods in mythology in Lambda, and oracles were given to believers. It is not strange.
But why does the oracle and the prophecy left by the vampire ancestors mix? It seems to be completely unrelated.
"Well, Vandalu is certainly white and we are a race with roots in the goddess Vida, but the oracle thinks that rabbits have nothing to do with the reincarnation of the founder in the corner prophecy."
Zadiris agrees, trying to dissuade Nuaza, but he seems to be all right.
"I don't care. I couldn't lose my patience and return to the dust, but I couldn't burn my soul to hatred.
It is not unpleasant to expect the first person (?) To be that much, but he is more confused. I understand, prosperity and glory are here, even though there are no plans or strategies to guide you.
However, it's a good thing Nuaza and others have a good impression here to do what they originally intended to do.
"So, can I move about 600 people, including the ghouls I brought, to Tarosheim?"
"Oh! Are you moving to our city, Miko !? This is a ruin of a deceased, who can disagree, everyone !?"
Until then, the giant undead, who stood silently on their knees, shouted "Uoooooo" and shouted like a scream when they were heard by Nuaza.
"Welcome Miko and her party!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !
"Kill! Kill! Kill those who get in the way!
"A killing fern!
The ruins, which were just as quiet as a cemetery, are filled with delight and murder. Giant undead raise their weapons, step on their weapons, and make them feel as if they are going to battle.
It's a transformation that makes you want to ask where you've gone before, but it's also the nature of the undead that once it catches fire, it doesn't stop.
Most undead are on fire from the moment they occur until a moment before they disappear, so few know.
"Boo, boy ?? It seems like there is Onito who is saying something crazy ...?"
"It means it's killing everyone who disturbs our migration."
"I agree, but sometimes there is too much momentum ..."
"Dad says, it's compelling."
"Well, then please come with us to help me."
Hundreds of giant undead rushed to flatten the makai separating the center of Tarosheim, where they were, and the temporary camp where the ghouls were waiting.
He slaughtered the attacking Needlewolf and Raptor, cut down the trees, and although it was only two kilometers away, it was a safe ruin without a single mouse, even up to the front gate of the fortified state.
Is the Vandalu who moved them amazing, or are they amazing enough to be able to do so simply by presenting uncertain hope?
"I think the latter"
After a safe passage, the Bandarloos emigrated to the heart of Tarosheim, with the surprising ghouls in a frenzy of undead.
The reason why we chose not the residential area but the central area where many buildings were public institutions such as the royal castle, the temple, and the government office was because the building in the central part where the building condition was robust was better.
The building in the center was exposed to the fierce battle of two hundred years ago, but the Milg shield was trying to destroy the temple of Vida and, above all, the heritage of Vida, located under the Royal Castle. So it wasn't enough to destroy a solid stone building.
In addition, the center protected by the undead has been inhabited by other demons for 200 years and has not been devastated, so it can be used by cleaning.
The giant buildings are large for ghouls, and the furniture and furnishings are decayed except for those made of stone, and the remaining ones were not the same size as the ghouls. Although it was necessary to renovate and make the necessary furniture.
However, there are a lot of materials.
First, line the magical trees that the Giant Undead have cut down.
"[Death] Get up, sawn, get out"
Vandaloo removes moisture from the trees with the death attribute magic of [death], drys it, turns it into a wood golem, saws it out with [golem training], and pulls out the soul that last dwelled.
In this way, the magical trees turn into lumber. The ghouls make room partitions and furniture. Originally living in an indigenous community in the jungle of the jungle, this preparation took only a few days because it did not require much elaborate furniture.
In addition to this, Vandaloo healed around the cracked part and broken place of the building with [Golem training], and seemed to be inspired by that figure, a giant undead who was a living craftsman said, "We can not lose! ] "Only the child, do not work! It was a nice miscalculation to let go of the weapon and start working.
Speaking of miscalculations, as said Nuaz was an apprentice of a priesthood, only giant undead were representatives of the temple (because more than priests could not be undead or had already disappeared). It was not in a position to decide the whole decision.
So, there are quite a few remaining in the building besides the undead who cooperated with the emigration, especially one of the heroes of Tarosheim in the castle, [Kenken] Volks was undead and still protects it Seems to be.
By all means, the human resources I want to be with you ...
"If he had the undead coordinator, the chance of trouble between races after I went to the Orbaum election would be reduced."
There's plenty of room to live in and there's no need to have the castle overhauled, but in order to attach Volks to his side, Vandaluo has commissioned Nuaza to intervene, and head to Zadiris and Thalia who didn't come to why. I went to the Royal Castle while tilting.
<< [Reinforcement of Kin] has been raised to 5 levels!

Demon description @ Orcus
A variant of oak that was born because of being immersed in the magic of the death attribute since fetal life. The basic rank is 4.
Muscle strength comparable to orcs, but better than orcs in endurance, endurance and agility, especially intelligence.
By nature, he has [dark vision], [power], [physical tolerance] and [eating] skills. Therefore, in adulthood, their attack and defense are greater than armed orcs, even without any weapons or armor.
However, there is a case where the skill level of [Energetic Infinity] and [Propagation] is lower than that of the orc, and they may not possess it. They only have a slightly higher fertility than humans.
The figure is the body of a fat man with a head resembling a wild boar with black or gray hair, and only males exist at present.
Life expectancy is estimated but may be of the same level as race.
Since it was just born as a race, it is unknown what kind of superior species exist.
If you report the existence of Orcas to the adventurer's guild with evidence, you can get a small reward because it is an unknown monster report, but it is difficult at present.
