The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 40: Human society is in good business, but I want seagrass

The Viscount of Barches was bustling with the boom economy.

This is because the project to cultivate the jungle forest, which was located three days from the town, is proceeding smoothly.

Already strong creatures are almost hunted out, and even if they happen to come out, only one or two orcs will wield a thick tree branch instead of a club, and hired adventurers will defeat them without much difficulty.

Soldiers cut down trees, and the magician's soil-attribution magic flattens the ground, breaking rocks into pieces that are easy to carry.

It has been less than six months since the cultivation began, and the size of the jungle has not been reduced to a quarter of its original size.

Land reclamation continues until snow falls, rich soil is cultivated, wells, ponds and irrigation channels are dug, and preparations for building a number of rural areas are completed.

In the spring, migrants gather, houses are built, and seeds are sown in the fields. Since Makai Soil can be harvested to some extent from the first year, there is little need to help pioneers.

And by the end of the tax exemption, enough tax should be in the hands of Viscount Barches and, in less than ten years, recovering development costs, it should be profitable.

A deputy third son will also be appointed to govern the settlement.

Of course, it's not just the Viscount and his vassals who benefit. Immigrants migrating to the rural villages to be created were forced to retire because of occupational squatters, the third son and fourth son of a farmer who could not inherit their fields due to the order in which they were born, injury and age. Adventurers who still have to work for various reasons.

They have their own homes and fields, thanks to this pioneering business, and they can get married and set up a family.

And the creation of rural areas requires the formation of garrisons to protect the villages, increasing the military budget and posts. Since the temple of the god of life, Arda, will also be built, the number of temple officials will increase.

If the crops, which had previously relied on trade from other territories, were supplied to the town, people would be able to get fresh produce at lower prices.

In addition, supplies such as daily necessities will be supplied to the villages for a while from the town closest to the settlement, so that you will have a good time.

In this way, everyone enjoys the benefits of this boom.

Even non-Valchez Viscounts are helping by recruiting migrants as a way to alleviate the poor.

The exceptions would be adventurers and Military Palpapec. However, the small profits did not mean that they were disadvantaged.

Although the adventurers have lost their earning place as jungle makai, there is still a large makai near the town of Viscount Barches. There are no dungeons, and it is not a problem to lose one little magical border three days on foot from the town.

Sir Thomas Palpapek was sent to the treasurer and decided to resign as a Sir in order to dispel any suspicion that there might be any wrongdoing or back-trading in the settlement.

It is true, however, that the shield government has benefited the country, albeit for some reason. And his failure was due to an unprecedented event, and it did not cost anything.

So it was expected that the settlement business would settle or otherwise return to work in less than a decade.

Originally, the position of the Military was not occupied by the Count Palpapec, but instead three Counts replaced them over a period of several to a dozen years. If you occupy a house, the chief of the army will be absent as soon as the head of the house and the homing son are assassinated.

If you have another house that will serve as a military commander for generations, you can prepare a military commander who is supported by vassals who have accumulated know-how.

It may be reluctant, but he has been at war with his neighbors since the foundation. I can't say sweet things.

Among the three Earl Houses, the Palpapek Earl has produced excellent military commanders for generations, and Thomas in particular of the present generation has wanted to be named as the patron deity of the country.

And in fact, many garrisons serving the Countess of Palpapec will join the garrison to protect the new village. He is also profited.

So no one has lost anything in this pioneering business, and everyone has gained.

Ostensibly.

"Isn't the determination of the route to go over the mountain range yet?"

In one of the finest inns in this town, a red-headed vampire sitting on a chair looks down on Eleonora ... No, apparently looking down on her eyes, Cellcrent bites the worm. It looked like a face.

From the face and body, the brutal wounds caused by the punishment received from Vircain have healed without leaving any trace. However, he seems to be more intolerable than the pain of that torture, the anger brought by the word she is spinning.

"You know how hard you are making a request"

However, Celcrent restrained himself from climbing with maximum patience. This is an inexpensive but free inn, not a vampire-owned castle or palace. You can't just shout out to the next room or corridor.

"Oh, people didn't find it just two hundred years ago."

"It's different from two hundred years ago, why we have to cross the mountains avoiding monsters as much as possible, that's what we are different from humans!"

Celcrent and Eleonora are both noble vampires. Its fighting ability exceeds that of lower class dragons, and is comparable to that of fire dragons and ice dragons.

In addition, it has various special abilities not found in dragon species, and it can stand up dexterously by having the same figure as a human.

Of course, there are weaknesses. A magic item for vampires created by the sun, silver, light-based attack magic, and the god Alda and his followers. But the only thing you need to watch out for when crossing the mountains is the sunshine. Some monsters use light magic, but most of them do not pose a threat to vampires, as they are often blinded by flashes and blinded by illusions, and astonishing by removing light from a certain space to create darkness.

If you don't look for a route that won't be attacked by monsters, you'll miss some dependent species on your way across the mountains, but at worst.

However, Eleonora sighed as if she was stunned.

"Sel Crent ... I'm an insanely fool"

"What ?!"

"It's dexterous to shout in a whisper.

Eleonora's attitude toward Serkrent isn't the lady-like attitude she showed in front of the Birkines.

To show that you are not worth repairing.

"You have forgotten the information you reported? Is the target dampiel a medium?" Couldn't we extract information from the spirits of the demons we killed?

"Oh, it's ... it's possible, but it's usually difficult. I'm sure your findings haven't done much."

Few have a job as a mediator. It is not suitable for fighting at all and cannot produce any items or goods. All you can do is communicate with the spirits of the dead, fortune-telling and a little exorcism.

As a result, the number and the name of the mediators themselves were as if they were crawling on the ground. So Eleonora was going to get information from the adventurer's guild and the psychic medium on her job, using her unique skills, while meanwhile, Sercrent was planning to find a way across the border mountains.

"And do you think the spirit of the demon will go from you to Dumpel?"

The mediator jobs can be performed such as "viewing and talking with the spirits", "summoning the spirits of the dead", and "reading residual thoughts".

It's a great deal that the silent principle doesn't apply to the dead, but not all spirits are friendly to mediators and can't afford to undead.

Elektrona's opinion was different, although Sercrent seemed to believe that caution would not be a significant threat.

"What do you do if you can do a great deal? I looked up the information of an ordinary psychiatrist. Did you ever do anything unprecedented in that damp peel?" Don't you think? "

If you say so, Celcrent will have to growl.

For example, if it would be possible to select and summon only those spirits that meet certain conditions from among the spirits that occurred in a wide area.

If Dumpir can summon a demon spirit that has been killed by an entity that has harm to him, the Border Mountains will be both a solid wall and a loyal guard.

Eleonora thinks that such a thing would not be possible, but that dampile has caused that many times to happen, and the man in front of him is standing on the edge of a cliff.

If you look sweet and proceed, you will stand on the edge of the cliff.

"So be sure to determine the route. If you don't know this, you won't know ... if you don't know, what if you have the obedience to follow without knowing it?"

It is more severely clogged than it is said to be incompetent, and Celcrent bites his fangs.

However, this level of exchange is extremely common among vampires who serve [Evil God of Eternal Life].

Their interpersonal relationships are basically up or down. In the mouth, they say equivalent, companion, brother, and brother, but they actually judge and think whether they are superior or inferior to themselves.

It is simple if the relationship between the species, such as the original species and the noble species, and the noble species and the dependent species, is clear. However, in the case of the original species and the precious species, the fishy smell is immediately obtained.

Then, while obeying the opponent, you will have the opportunity to drag down the opponent and get yourself up.

If your opponent is downgraded, you will always insist that you are a superior and follow it, and keep stepping under your feet so that you do not think strange things.

And if the hierarchy isn't decided yet, they will fight in various ways.

Eleonora, who is a genius but has only been a vampire for just a few years and has lived for some time, Eleonora is a little better in terms of ability, but not a big difference.

However, Selcrent was accused of violent blame by Birkine, leaving a ruthless appearance in front of nearly all community leaders, without any defense or support from his "parent," Goubamon, and being ordered to die if he failed. As a result, the position was overwhelmingly down.

Eleonora has to kick Celcrent as far as it is down. Otherwise, you would admit that you are not above, or below, this downfall man.

"... Okay, I hurry both dependents."

"If it takes time, ask Old Gubamon for advice. Did he bit a piece two hundred years ago?-You might know something?"

"... consider"

Eleonora muttered after the door behind her, blocking herself and leaving her room.

"It's bad, but I don't want to be taken with me."

He has no hunger, has not been polluted, and has the power to fight even dragon species. However, Eleonora's eyes were scared.

If something went wrong, he knew he would be in the position of Serrent.

[Chanting discarded] Training for acquiring skills is also on the seventh day of the last day.

"Oh! I finally gained [Singing Discard] skill, this is also the gift of a warm giving of your child!"

She raised her thick arm with cheers, though Nuaza was supposed to be bone and skin.

"Well, did you go beyond that?"

"Hahaha, for the time being I'm a richer, though lesser."

"I mean I'm a ghoul mage. And it's a magician job."

A specialty Nuaz and an enviable Zadiris. She did not yet have the skill tips.

For the time being, demons have skill correction for each race. However, it is not as remarkable as the skill correction that humans can get for a job, but it is not suitable for at best.

Orcs are proud and Kobolts are agile.

Therefore, the reason that Nuaza was able to learn [Singing Discard] earlier than Zadiris was simply that Nuaza was more suitable for [Singing Discard] than her, or that she had a greater background.

By the way, in this world, it is true that the level of talent can make it easy to rise, rank up quickly, and gain and grow skills faster than average. However, efforts are not denied.

Whether you are a human or a demon, the more you train and train, the higher your level will be. You can acquire skills.

But sometime, surely. Such a story.

Even if the genius of the sword is one year and the level of swordsmanship skill is 5 without any difficulty, ordinary people may not reach the same level without years of bloody efforts and decades. Absent.

A goblin, who is sick and not physically good, takes a little more effort to become a goblin king, but it can.

The adventurer with superhuman talent, after training and experience, defeats the dragon species and completes the high difficulty dungeon and gets the title of A class adventurer.

Inexperienced adventurers may stop at class D even if they learn and experience the same period. However, if you gain 10 times and 100 times the training and experience of a superhuman, you may reach A-class with effort and obsession.

And in most cases, the effort is interrupted before the reward is paid.

Few can stubbornly sacrifice the rest of their lives for the best, and often give up and move on to other fields.

Adventurers and demons in particular often die or suffer severe injuries before their efforts pay off. Even though they are in different positions, it is the same that they eat weak meat.

(I liked when I was on earth, but the hero who beats genius with effort)

Vandalou, who had been providing magical power while making acorn flour, thought that he was not an ordinary man, but a talented person.

Great magic is because it's enough talent.

Although he was ordinary on earth and never paid off at the origin, he couldn't be fully aware.

"Then, if you use magic with [Casting], I think your skill level will go up, so return to normal training."

"Mmm, then it's a little regrettable ..."

"Fufufu, go to dungeons and magical areas."

Zadiris smiles evilly to Nuaz, who is disappointed. Apparently, the magical power of Vandaloo seems to feel very comfortable for those who are under the influence of [Death Attraction].

"No, today is a week off, so I'm gonna dive into the dungeon from tomorrow."

"What is it?"

Surprising Zadiris and Nuaza laughing meanly with "Kukukuku". It has been reversed as before.

"Bo, boy, shouldn't you rest a little longer?"

"I want experience, not a break. There are some materials I want."

Next, Vandaloo plans to capture it at Doran Water Feast Cave. This is a D-class dungeon similar to the Garan valley, but this is a dungeon with a deeper hierarchy, where the difficulty of defeating monsters that appear and the danger and frequency of traps are also higher.

And it is also a dungeon that brings seafood to this Tarosheim.

The Doran Suiban Cave has many layers, such as an underground lake where various small and large islands float, and a cave where an underground river flows next to it. Seafood is inhabited.

Vandalu did not like special marine products since he was alive on Earth, but he had the material he really wanted.

It was kelp, seaweed, or seaweed that could be used as a substitute.

(After making miso with walnuts and acorns, I tried the miso soup, but for some reason it wasn't delicious because there is no soup!)

When she was a student on earth, she had cooked herself and made miso soup, but at that time she had never taken stock. So, if you try the miso soup with lambda in the same way, it is obviously tasteless than when you made it on earth.

Is there a problem with the ingredients, or is miso made with walnuts and acorns unsuitable for soups? When I was worried, I realized it.

The miso used on earth was miso with soup stock!

From the beginning, the miso contained soup stock. On the other hand, Vandalou used homemade miso without miso. There is no way we can make delicious miso soup using it as it is.

He knew that to make delicious miso soup, he had to take it from the stock.

Speaking of dashi, bonito, dried and kelp. They must be obtained at Doran Water Cave. Especially, kelp.

Because there may not be a seaweed-eating culture on this continent. It was not on the Amid empire.

Darussia and Sam said they had never heard of eating seaweed, so at least they weren't in circulation.

There is only a limited area and ethnic group, including Japan, that has a seaweed culture on the earth, so it should be less in this world.

If you are unlikely to be able to get it when you go to the Orbaum Kingdom, get it early and try it.

Since bonito is ready to smoke, I want more and more kelp. After wakame and ... nori! Nori is required, to make sushi, ramen, soba, soumen, and rice balls.

Later, I also want Amakusa. Agar can be made.

"Zadiris, I need kelp. To make delicious miso soup."

"No, I don't think it's good enough right now."

"I think so, but Miko has a strong upward inclination."

"Because it's uplifting, the boys are pretty esophageal."

Apparently, Vandalu's passion for food is not so much transmitted.

However, if you drink miso soup with dashi soup, everyone's opinion will change. In fact, that was the reaction before making the first miso.

(Oh, I forgot about the ingredients)

The next day, Vandalu entered the Doran Water Cave.

The members are Sam, Braga, Zlan, Katya and Vigaro.

Sam tested the transport and new equipment, and Black Goblin's Braga was up recently, to test his power, and Zlan, a former spy who is rare among giant undeads, supervised Braga. Kachia is a vanguard force.

And Vigaro, which is obviously overpowered in D-rank dungeons, is an insurance policy just in case.

And on the first floor ...

"It's a fish, get a fish!"

"Fish sauce, fish sauce!

Giant undead were hunting for small fish with their nets.

"It's a scene I saw somewhere"

"I don't know how, Miko. Because it ’s for fish sauce ”

"I'm making it."

Originally, Tarosheim hunters ignored small fish. Fish less than fifty centimeters in length are too small for giants, have few places to eat, are not eating, and are cheap. If you want to catch such a thing, it's better to aim for a big thing over 2 meters.

It was such an idea.

What overturned the principle of large fish was the fish sauce made by Vandaloo. It is said that giant undead who are fascinated like miso one after another, and even though they were farmers before their birth, those who turned undead and turned to fishermen appeared.

Salt relies on rock salt from the Garan Valley.

The water in this Doran water feast is seawater, so there is no need to make sea salt. However, unlike rock salt, which can be brought home after mining, it takes time to make sea salt.

If dried as it is, no impurities will come off, and no salt can be made in the dungeon. In the first place, the sunlight does not reach here.

Then, it is naturally difficult to take seawater outside. For several water bags, rabbits and horns are needed, and a container like a barrel is necessary to carry a large amount of seawater. If seawater flows when the container breaks, the trouble is water bubbles.

So in Tarosheim, salt is rarely made in the seawater here. In the past, the second princess, Zandia, used to carry out seawater using space magic to make salt.

"That's why we collect seawater before capture"

"Huh ..."

Why do you have rock salt? Before all of these faces, Vandaloo rolls the barrel that he has placed on Sam's bed.

"Get up, put in"

The clear seawater flowing along the side of the road is turned into an aqua golem and put into a barrel. Even liquid golems, which were difficult to maintain shape, could be moved into a barrel placed next to it.

The rest is just carrying ...

"Get up"

Bogon! The walls of the passage begin to move, forming a rock golem while taking in barrels filled with seawater.

"Let's go to Tarosheim."

Then we walked with the wild boar. Tsukuzuku [Golem Training] is a useful skill.

"Vandaloo, what do you do with seawater?"

"Taste is different between rock salt and sea salt."

"Is that so?"

To Vigaro, who leans to me, Vandalou said, "I can tell you by comparison."

The reason why we try to make salt from seawater flowing in the dungeon is not only the difference in taste, but since salt is an important seasoning, I thought it was better to have not only the valley of Doran but also multiple ways to obtain it It is body.

Anyway, miso and fish sauce addicts are in the giant undead. It is important to provide a stable supply of salt, which is a material.

But ... I'd like to see soy and sweet seasoning at least one of them.

"Isn't sugarcane growing anywhere?"

Well, in this dungeon I can't hope.
