The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

On the third day of his vacation, Vandaloo, while the giants undead were busy working as if to reclaim the time they had previously spent in vain.

"Kill a lumberjack!"

"Good, good, good!

Hit the ax with both hands against the trunk of the big tree. Then, a large tree ... Ent, a monster that turned into a monster, exclaimed.

The ax continues to shake regardless of the zugsgun and the ent who swings the branch to the last resistance, and logging is finally completed.

"Master! What about this tree?"

"Place it in a lumber yard! The child is off for a while!

"Wow wow!"

The giant undead cut down the fine branches of the cut ent and transport them to the lumber yard. They have been "lumberjacks" since their birth, and their work is good and delicate, even if their work is only bones or the meat is a bit rotten.

"I have to get rid of the monsters other than us from Tarosheim!"

"Oh, Miko Orizumi has come!"

"Oh, go get the salt soon!"

They were trying to return Tarosheim, which had been eroded outside of the center by the forest demon, to its ruins. The oracle son, Vandaloo, told me that he would help me repair the Tarosheim building.

"Show me how I work!

Beginning with a former lumberjack, the giants fell down one after another to attack the monsters without cutting the territory, cutting down trees.

Talosheim is a city-state that was isolated from the outside world by the Border Mountains until a tunnel was discovered that led to the Duke of Hartner of Orbaum.

The population is about 5,000 in the royal capital and there are three hundred villages. Except for skillful adventurers like [Sword King] Volks and Temple Warriors led by [Saint] Gina. There were no dedicated professional soldiers or combat technicians.

All the soldiers, including the guards, were part-time workers and seemed to be usually miners or fishermen.

From that, it seems that the military power is low even though it is a giant country with a strong body and a strong body. However, the situation was different.

Tarosheim's main industry, all but agriculture, relied on magical dungeons and dungeons.

A lumberjack cuts ents, torrents, and high torrents at the sakai and dungeons to get wood.

Fishermen hunt for aquatic monsters with a three-pronged spear.

Miners also fight and eliminate obstructing monsters by themselves to dig up metal from the monsters and dungeon veins where monsters can be found.

Yes, most of the 5,000 people in Tarosheim were skilled combat skills owners.

Even the farmers who are supposed to be some exceptions can't laugh, because they have the combat ability to beat and kill dangerous beasts targeting crops.

Knowing the actual situation at that time, the Vandalus thought, "The Milg shield country often sold fights to such countries."

Because more than 90% of the 5,000 people are fighters who can kill their own soldiers with a single blow. It is waiting in a robust fortified city.

It is evident that if you try to capture such a country, your army will cost several times more.

Due to the characteristics of the giants, which have few suitable attributes, there will be few users of magic, but even the Milg shield army does not have many magicians because it is composed of many knights and soldiers.

Surely, the Amid Empire, who issued orders under or behind the Milg Shield, decided to dispatch troops without further analysis, looking only at the top of Tarosheim. As a result, despite the victory, the Milg Shield has caused historical damage, including the national treasure spear.

What a silly story, regardless of the past, monsters other than the undead were hunted one after another by the giant undead from Talosheim.

At that time, Vandaloo was reading a book in the ruins of the Adventurer's Guild. The archives of the temple of Vida and the branch of the little magician guild were destroyed by fire or looting, but the archives here have been abandoned for two hundred years and there are still many safe books there were.

Perhaps the religion was the name of the war, and the temple's library was set on fire, and the library of the magician's guild, who was small but could have done his own research, was plundered. The adventurer's guild's library with no factor must have been left alone. Perhaps you just had to withdraw before doing anything.

One of the giant undeads told me that there would have been a book about Dumpel in that safe book.

By the way, there was a magic item that could be issued by the registered person in the adventurer's guild, but it could not be moved. It seems that nothing can be moved except by the guild staff.

If you can register here, you can become an adventurer while hiding titles, skills, and magic, but life does not seem to go so well.

But for now, it's up to you to investigate things about your race.

"Now I can finally understand myself."

Until now, except for being born between the dependent vampire Valen and the dark elf Darussia, I wanted to know if there was a chance because I was refreshing.

For now, I want to know how long I will live, about my average life expectancy. To think about the future life plan.

Because if it is shorter than one kind, it will be hard. You can extend your life with magic and you can [rejuvenate] yourself, but it is not ecological to say that "Dampir will die suddenly on his 30th birthday without aging while maintaining his youth." I don't think it is, but just in case.

"... I can't read it properly."

Follow the letters while smelling the smell of old paper. Then, it turned out that Dampir had the property of inheriting the qualities of both parents.

This is especially true if the other parent is from a new Vida race.

"In other words, do I have some fighting and bowing talents? Just like my parents."

May be suitable for Darusian archery and Valen's claw-based martial arts. Spirit magic wouldn't work because of the lack of attributes.

Unless a spirit belonging to the death attribute that did not exist before suddenly occurs. Remulus is not a genie, as it is a familiar created by Vandaloo with magic.

"Hmm? Did you mean ... inherit your father's resistance to the sun? If so, isn't it okay to be a vampire with [Vampire]?"

The book states that a newborn dampiel does not have any vampire weaknesses, but by repeating [vampire] it becomes closer to the parent's vampire and gains the parent's weakness at the cost of gaining power.

However, Vandaloo's father is a man who was spotlighted for his resistance to the sun. Moreover, dependent vampires seem to have only the physical abilities of vampires, but have no weaknesses other than the sun.

That's why Vandaloo can gain vampire power at no risk.

"Okay, let's drink a lot of blood from now on"

Until now, every time you bleed monsters, you were tempted to suck blood. You don't have to put up with it, and there is no reason to hesitate if you get the power.

Mothers will be glad if they can fight like a father with claws.

"So the life expectancy is ... depends on the parent's race who is not a vampire?"

It was written so. The life span of dampirs, which differ greatly in ecology between parents, varied among non-vampire parents.

A race with a lifespan of 100 years would have a maximum of 300 to 500 years, a dwarf of 200 years would have a maximum of 600 to 1000 years, and a elf of 500 years would have a maximum of 1,500 to 2500 years.

Apparently, they can live three to five times the lifespan of their parent's race.

By the way, this is a bit suspicious because it is an guess of an old sage who looked at some dampiles with life attribute magic. However, he seems to be able to live long. ... unless killed.

"Speaking of which, how many years do dark elves live?"

Asking Darussia she is now sleeping in her bones. I was wandering around the library looking for a book about Dark Elves, and fortunately found the book I was looking for.

I couldn't read about a third of the mold, but fortunately I knew I wanted to know.

"The Dark Elves are a race created by Goddess Vida's desire to make the Elves tribe stronger and outperform the Elves in all abilities.

Of course, the life span is long, and the elves live 500 years, but live a thousand years longer. "

…… at least 3,000 years, at most 5,000 years. If you survive, you will be a witness to history in your later years.

"It's more than the year ... I can't imagine"

I can imagine that it may be painful if the sense of time remains human. At least, Rodcorte's forthcoming fourth life is likely to be far ahead.

"What did that god think that reincarnates me as a dumb-peel? Well, he cursed me up to commit suicide in despair and didn't think about lifespans."

In fact, he was jammed when Darussia was killed if he could not use death magic. He would have to starve to death, not to commit suicide.

The book also wrote that most dumpies often die before they reach their end of life. With that in mind, it's no wonder that Vandalou has been reborn as a dampir.

"So, is there a book about adventurers next?"

The Tarosheim Adventurer's Guild branch was introduced from the Adventurer's Guild in the Orbaum sect. So it should be almost the same system as the adventurer's guild of the elected kingdom.

The material here is about two hundred years ago, but there are many races that live more than two hundred years, such as dwarves and giants, so it will be the same except for the details. ...... If the system had been radically revised in the last two hundred years, it would have to be a bad idea.

"It was .... it's almost the same as the Guild of the Milg Shield."

Institutions and regulations were not much different from information received from Katya and the spirits of the killed adventurers. Is it the same guild even if the country is different?

Two things are different. About the treatment of Vida's new race and adventure schools.

In the Orbaum Kingdom Adventurer's Guild, Vida's new races, dark elves and giants, are treated as humans. However, the races Vida was born with in connection with the demons, such as Lamia and Scylla, Arachne, Demon and Demons, and Vampires are basically treated as demons.

These races are often harmful to humans, and there is a past that has historically fought violently against human lands.

However, there are also friendly tribes, so it is stipulated that tribal members who have been designated as friendly tribes by the state must not be hurt.

"... Hmm, isn't it just the opposite of Vida's new race just because he's hostile to the Amid empire?"

However, given that he had traded with Tarosheim, I don't think he had a strong hit against the goddess Vida. And it is possible that the relationship with the various tribes has changed over the last two hundred years.

Let's listen to this area after coming to human society.

"Next is adventurer training school ... I never thought that I would start school again in a different world."

Although not found in the adventurer guilds of the Amid Empire and its dependencies, the guilds of the Elbaum sect have educational institutions for training adventurers.

This is because the electoral kingdom has more adventurers and more magical and dungeons that need to be active.

Of course, the fact that adventurers are all self-responsible occupations does not change in the election. If an inexperienced adventurer dies at the end of a reckless adventure, no liability comes to the nation or guild.

Become an adventurer who is not so confident in their skills, or who is a bitter, who are orphans, those who have lost their jobs in their youth, and the third and fourth farmers and merchants who cannot succeed in the family business or the homeland. They are bad people, but their absence will not cause a great loss to society.

However, it seems that the majority of adventurers who had just registered in the past died within one year, and most of them retired before they became D-class or higher.

If you go to that point, you will not hear well, and if you do not increase the number of excellent adventurers, you will be troubled as a guild. If the bitter people are pessimistic about adventurer employment and become more criminals, it will be a big problem for the country.

In addition, if there is no one who thins out monsters that occur in magical areas and dungeons, there is a possibility that valuable monster materials and products will not be available, as well as a flood of monsters.

The state subsidized and organized a training school for adventurers. The idea here is to build up some knowledge and, above all, fighting power to reduce the death rate of newcomers.

The attempt was a huge success, with the death rate of newcomers within a year of registration falling to less than one-fifth of the worst times, and the proportion of adventurers who were promoted to D-class or higher was more than several times higher.

The country was also able to hire talented adventurers as dedicated escorts and sorcerers, and it was all good.

Reading up to that point, Vandaloo looked up.

"I'm suspicious here, I guess I have a bad personality."

We know that the mortality rate within a year has fallen, but what is going on from the second year? How many times has the percentage of adventurers who have been promoted to be D or higher has increased?

Why don't you get any specific numbers in the first place?

"whatever"

You don't want to be an adventurer because you have an ideal or a pure dream. Simply because it's the easiest way to get a status guarantee, and what you've done so far is that you can earn money just by hunting demons and bandits.

And above all, adventurers are more likely to pay off in other jobs.

So, ignoring the darkness of the adventurer's guild, which faintly appears and disappears, Vandaloo glanced down at the part of the book about the adventure school system.

Schools are credit-based and can last from one to three years. Students can earn a minimum number of credits and graduate at any time with the permission of the principal.

There are no special admission requirements, as long as you can pay the entrance fee and tuition. If you can not pay in advance, there is also a postpayment system that returns after graduation while working as an adventurer.

And most importantly for Vandaloo is a statement about minors.

"However, minors cannot be promoted to Class F or higher unless they have graduated from Adventurer Training School."

The Adventurer Guild divides adventurers into eight grades based on their abilities and achievements. The G class at the bottom is a newcomer who only has a guild registration card, and the only requests that can be made are that there is no fighting in the town ... There is only a day labor job in Japan. Moreover, the price of the reward is considerably cheaper than in Japan.

Requests that may cause a fight cannot be received unless the class is F or higher, even if the herbs are collected outdoors.

"In other words, do I have to go to an adventure school if I want money and achievements to go up?"

Vandalou, now three years old, is of course a minor. He decides to go to the election kingdom after reviving Darussia with a resuscitation device underneath the royal castle, but he is not going to spend more than a decade.

Therefore, it should be a minor even when registering as an adventurer's guild.

"School ... will you be able to have a fun school life next time?"

I had no confidence.

When I was a boy on the earth, my uncle also gave me compulsory education, and even in high school, I was terribly pressured when I took the exam, saying, "Non-public, work if you fell," but I was able to attend .

However, when I was in elementary school, I was not able to invite alumni to my house because of such a home environment, and I could not go to play because my uncle's fist was scared. In the first place, I couldn't make any friends because I was suspicious of behavior due to mental factors.

In addition, the teachers were poorly received, and their grades were normal, but for some reason they had the image of a problem child. Even in junior high school, the situation remained the same, and in high school, when he was able to revolt against his uncle to some extent, Vandaloo himself gave up on "a bright and fun school life".

Can I make friends at school? I'm not confident in my ability to communicate with undead and ghouls.

"I was suddenly noticed as a user of the newly discovered magic, and I can't imagine the aspirations of alumni ...

Conversely, you can only imagine a scene that is heretically viewed and set a distance.

"... Okay, Bocci. There's no gorgeous school event, and it's a credit system, so if you're uncomfortable, take the minimum credits and graduate."

After that, you should earn money and achievements by defeating demons and dungeons with Sam and others. I have many friends. Because it's a ghoul king.

Rather it's a winner.

So I set a precautionary line and closed the book. Oh, I don't want to go to school.

He wanted to go to the bones to distract him from the darkness, and when he returned the book to where he was, he came across a book.

"What about the undead?"

Vandalu picked up the book and decided to continue reading.

Handmade undeads, including the bones, play and train near Sam when not fighting.

Mock fights among friends, avoid rocks thrown by bone monkeys, and bone birds perform acrobatic flights in the air.

"Yuyu ..."

Meanwhile, Vandaloo called out to a boner who had been left alone as a rank 3 and could not be upgraded.

"Today I've found a way you might be stronger, and I want to try it."

……?

A bone man with a bow on his back, a sword on his waist, and a shield in leather armor is a fine skeleton warrior, but it is the spirit of a mouse that actually lives in the bone.

Perhaps because of this, the boner could not raise the level of his swordsmanship and shield skills to 1, and could not raise it any further. After reading the book, Vandalou thought that it could be the same reason that the level reached 100 and still remain in rank 3.

"There are several conditions under which strong undead can occur. The most common is that the corpse and the spirit that dwells in it are the same or compatible. '

In this lambda, even if the corpse is undead, the spirit that resides in the corpse may not be alive.

Instead of being a different person, the spirits of animals rather than humans often reside. However, in that case, it is said that they usually result in only a weak undead of rank 1 or 2.

Even if the human spirit dwells in the dead body of a beast or a demon, it does not mean that the beast's reflexes and fighting instinct will be suddenly provided, and moving the body with a different skeleton in the first place will do its utmost.

There are organs not found in the race ... long tails, wings, and a second head are all you can afford.

The same is true even if animals live in a human corpse. If you are not a very smart animal, you will not be able to use your hands, and if it is a quadruped beast, you can not even walk on two legs. It is out of the question to use tools.

Is it easy to imagine that it's like transplanting the human brain to a beast and the beast's brain to a human?

Considering that point, the spirit of the mouse that dwelled in the bones can be said to be out of standard. It's no exaggeration to say that he is a mouse genius.

Rats use their forelimbs dexterously, but they still use swords, shields, and bows and arrows. Clearly smarter than average goblins.

Unfortunately, there are limitations. Well, because it is a spirit, it may be able to surpass if it takes hundreds of years, but I can not wait so much.

So, Vandaloo thought. "Isn't it possible to solve the problem by further loading a human spirit body on a bone human with a rat brain transplanted into the human body?"

The spirits to be added are carefully selected from the hulls that have passed away from the soul for a long time and have no personality, emotion or memory. Fortunately, this is also an ancient battlefield, so the spirits of those hands easily gathered.

"Then we'll add a spirit body."

"Wow ... wow wow ..."

When you put the shards into the ghost, you'll get into the sponge as if it were sucking water.

The bone man does not seem to be suffering, but rather, he is comfortably ringing his jaw bone and blinking the blue flame lit in the orbit, so that Vandaloo is going more and more.

"Guruguru?

"Gae-ee-ee ..."

As the bone wolves and bone birds watch the state of their friends with interest, the number of spirit bodies dwelling in the human bones of the bone humans is accelerating.

And it happened suddenly.

"Yup!?"

I felt like something was clicked on. It feels as if the puzzle pieces that were thrown into the box were accidentally bitten and completed.

"I'm sorry ... lord ... lord ..."

There was no such flashy production, such as the body glowing or the evil sign released, and the figure was still a skeleton warrior, but the bone man who only emitted a muddy rattle until then, I started speaking words.

"Maybe you rank up?"

Monsters can dramatically increase their intelligence by ranking up. In many cases, adventurers mistakenly learned that they learned better as a result of gaining experience and learning in the process of leveling up, but some use magic and suddenly speak words. There are also monsters.

Many are undead.

This is because the ranks up allow the soul to adapt to the body of the immortal and recall memories and techniques of his lifetime.

"Lord, Lord"

Instead of answering yes, it cried in a muddy, cloudy voice, and the bone man nodded.

"By the work of the Lord, I was upgraded to Rank 4, Skeleton Night"

A boner who speaks fluently in a rich baritone that would be powerful if shouted. The ending is a bit disappointing.

But where did the tone come from? The behavior is strangely refined. Perhaps there is a knight or something from the Milg shield army mixed with a fragment of the spirit body that was put in the boner.

He intended to carefully select a shell like a shell so as not to be dragged by strange grudges and hatred, but his memory may have revived at the time he was combined with the bones' spirit.

It seems to be under the influence of Enchanting Death Attribute, but if you act as a knight of the Milg Shield, you may be in trouble with the Giants undead of Volks and Tarosheim.

"So, did you remember the memories of the previous life?"

When I checked, the boner nodded, "I see, I remember."

"It was when I brought home food for my family. He hit my surprise and attacked me. He was swung around without any means to make it, was blamed, and was left without stabbing. He was already full after eating my family, and it was only "play" that teasing me.

That evil cat! !

"... Yeah, cats do that."

Experienced people have learned that it is fantasy that only humans take their lives without need.

It's okay for rabbits, and it's okay because only the tone was affected and there is no memory of Milg Shield.

By the way, Vandalu loves both dogs and cats, and one of his dreams was to keep a pet sometime.

"But don't kill the cat meaninglessly"

"Wow, Frightened, Lord"

She was a good child and helped. The future of the mass murder of cats in the election of Orbaum in the future has been avoided. I don't know if there are any cats in this lambda yet.

It was already a good day, so I spent time playing with the bones. Bone wolves and bone bears compete for the demons' bones thrown by Vandaloo, go and take them back, hold them back, stroll in the sky caught by bone bird claws, groomed by bone monkeys and have fun He spent time.

"Doooooooooooo!

Rita and Saria, returning from the hunt, may have tilted their necks ... as they screamed and saw the bone man sprinting. Not physically or visually.

"Bochan, there's a boner running ... but what?

"It won't be any kind of training ..."

Cardiopulmonary function cannot be exercised even if bones sprint.

"Oh, if you make it with a little thought, you seem to like it unexpectedly"

"……why?

"Probably because of the hamster-like habits of the rat spirit, which is the basis of bones."

"Ham ... star is a star?

The bone man had been running happily for a while in the wheel made by [Golem training] from the lumber that Vandaloo unexpectedly survived.

A boner who ranks up with the addition of a spirit body. Normally a skeleton knight is a monster that was undead by a human who was a knight before life, but in the case of a bone man, it is based on a rat's spirit but added `` swearing allegiance to a specific person '' Due to the inclusion of things, it was upgraded to this race.
