The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 70: A Sharp Rare Beast Flying in the Sky (Seven)
As a result of giving up on the inconspicuous behavior and saving the life of a villager, Ivan, Vandalu was greeted by the village's only shop, a store of everything.
"The shaven, you've saved me. I've died a little more dull, and I couldn't show my face to the second child.
Come on, eat me! "
"I won't do it, it's not a big deal!"
"No, no. I was just hungry. "
Eating so, Vandaloo replies to the Ivans. What he is eating now is porridge.
It is a long grain of rice, similar to the earth's Indica rice, with beans added to remove the peculiar smell or to increase the edible wildflowers and bulk, and a bit of salt.
Not really a big deal. The taste is based on the taste of the ingredients.
However, it is just before the rice harvest in summer. Therefore, only this kind of dish will be served. The seventh reclamation village is blessed with rice porridge.
(If you put dried meat and dried fish in your luggage, it will be more salty and delicious.)
Even so, Vandalu does not do it and eats porridge. There seems to be no concept of "smoked" in this world, so smoked dried meat and dried fish will become Tarosheim's specialty in the future. So keep your secrets.
By the way, there is no menu in the bar space of anything. The sake is muddy sake made by the owner (based on cereals), the appetizer is roasted beans and boiled beans, and even vegetables.
And meals are always the same as the owner's family. It's no wonder that the owner's family offers many dishes.
Vandalou wondered if such a business would work, but otherwise business would not work in this village.
Each home produces its own sake, and there is no difference in cooking skills from a couple. So, every three months there are only three merchants, their guards, soldiers, and Kasims on the road every two months to the slave mine.
Therefore, if a system that can serve a plurality of dishes is prepared, the cost increases. The result is this porridge.
"I don't think it's so good"
The owner is conscious of it, and he says in a timid tone.
"... No, not at all."
"No, it's good. I want to give Ivan's benefactor some tasty stuff, but it's rice grown in this village."
"Dad, that's a promise I wouldn't say. But certainly, the rice I grew up in the Duke of Sauron was better. There was no smell."
In any case, they apparently cultivated a variety of rice close to Japonica rice, commonly known as Sauron rice, in Sauron, north of the Duke of Hartner.
However, the fleeing climate and soil of the Duke of Hartner were not suitable for growing Sauron rice.
Indica rice, which is commonly grown in the Duke of Hartner, is supposed to grow southern rice in the elected kingdom.
"In other words, all empires are bad."
Today, it is Vandalu who argues that it is all due to the empire that he cannot eat rice close to the familiar Japonica rice.
"Oh, it's all because of that dumb empire!"
"Yes, all empires are bad!"
And since this is a reclaimed village where refugees who have been displaced by the Amid Empire have been gathered, everyone agrees with the words of Vandaloo.
"But no way magic can be used."
"I was really surprised. I thought it was a [warrior] or a [fighter]."
The priest of Arda nodded to Kasim who was eating the same porridge as Vandalu.
"Yes, I was surprised that you were so loved by Vida."
He smiled at Vandaloo and said with his hand on his chest.
"You will surely be the gods' thoughts when you appear today on the day of the crisis for Kasims and Ivan.
Arda and Vida, in mythology we pray to God who broke up, but let's work together and do good. ''
As always, she had a faint smile on Vandaloo, but she seemed serious. At least, it's more like a clergy than a high priest.
It may be a surprisingly good person.
"I'm happy if you can say that. I'm not a priest, but
So what happens to the Temple of Vida in the Duke of Hartner? If you go to town, let's go to see it.
"By the way ... why can you speak clearly while eating the porridge?"
"... a special skill"
Actually, she uses a subtle body with a ghost face under her clothes, and speaks with her mouth.
"Oh, please substitute"
"Do you still eat !? No, it's good, but it's already my third cup."
"I'm hungry. Sorry."
Vandaloo is smaller and thinner than a child of the same age, but eats beyond his imagination. That's because he needs more than twice as much energy as the average adult man.
"In addition to strength and sorcery, you're an adventurer until you eat a lot."
However, it is not unusual for leaner gluttony to be found among adventurers who take on fighting jobs, in which their physical abilities are higher than those in production jobs. Kasim, who attended the town's adventure school, was not as surprised as the shopkeeper.
"Mayor of the village! Cain of the 5th reclamation village next to me is a priest!"
"The priest! Come to our village! We are sick in our village, the epidemic is falling, so everyone is falling down! We are coming soon!"
A man full of abrasions rushes in as he rushes at the man who runs into the store. It must have come this far, falling many times.
"An epidemic?"
"How !! However, the day has already passed. It's time to go to the Fifth Reclamation Village ..."
The road that directly connects the seventh reclamation village to the fifth reclamation village looks like an animal trail. It takes four hours on foot, even if you follow the path of an animal trail. Moreover, night is a time when wolves and monsters are active. It goes without saying how dangerous a poorly maintained animal trail can be.
There is also a way to go out on the highway once and proceed to the Fifth Reclamation Village, but that would take a whole day.
"Cain, come out first tomorrow morning. Until then, you should rest your body."
"That's it !? Then everyone in the village has a wife and a daughter!"
"You know, Cain. You can't just go on a dangerous night road. Goblin numbers are increasing these days, and if we collapse before we reach the village, it makes no sense."
"Oh, that's ... like that ..."
Cain drops his shoulders and sobs. There were those who raised their hands, touched by the actions of this mediocre man who came here at risk for his fellow villagers and his wife and daughter.
"Okay, we are escorts-"
"Then, let's fly with that Cain."
People were there, but they couldn't always go together.
"The stars are beautiful!"
"Hi!"
"Tonight is a good moonlit night"
"Now!"
In this lambda world, the only people who can fly in the sky are the wealthy who have some magicians or expensive magic items, those who have a dragon knight and others who can fly, and a new race of Vida with rear wings About.
Therefore, it is only a dream or a delusion for ordinary people to fly in the sky.
Cain had such a valuable experience.
Vandalu is carrying Cain's body tightly with a lifeline, carrying his luggage, flying in the sky with the magic of [flying] and proceeding to the fifth reclamation village. However, Cain is desperate to scream from the fear of falling and hugging to Vandalu, so he seems unable to afford this valuable experience.
"By the way, is it all right?"
"Oh, oh! There's a small swamp along the way and I think it's a landmark!"
"Since the swamp passed a while ago, it looks like it is fine."
Thirty meters above the sky, Vandaloo and Cain were flying. It's as fast as running a horse at best, but it seems to Cain that he can't open his eyes. Of course, even if you open your eyes, you will not be able to see it with Cain's eyes without skill [dark vision].
"Have you passed the swamp?"
"Yes. By the way, my neck is slightly squeezed."
Although the speed of [Flying] of Vandaloo is sometimes faster than that of human legs, flying in the sky can ignore the terrain and move straight distance to the destination.
Probably not enough to get to the village.
Instead, it consumes a lot of magic.
([Automatic recovery of magic power] Thanks to the skill, the consumption and recovery amount is only tongue if only me and luggage, but Cain's weight is ... I also lack training.
(No, let's ask about the disease.)
"So, it's an epidemic ... please tell me what kind of illness you have."
What he was concerned about was Cain's epidemic. It was easy to hear, but it seemed unnatural.
"It's because when I return from the hunt, everyone is falling down, there is heat, there is nausea, and I'm stunned ... even those who vomited blood ..."
"Are there any other people besides Cain?"
"Apart from me ... No, grandfather Joseph was still good. And the baby wasn't sick yet."
"What's that Joseph?"
"I'm a lumberjack. He had a bad cold since yesterday and seemed to have slept until I got home. Now I'm forced to do it because of the care of everyone in the village."
"Is that person not a pandemic?"
"Oh, maybe. There was fever and nose, but I didn't feel nauseous and didn't bleed. So I asked for nursing. I didn't go, and I can't leave the baby half a day even if I'm not sick. ''
(That is, all the villagers had fallen ill with the same symptoms except for the old man and the baby who had been sleeping except for Cain who was out in the hunt and left the village. And Cain was a healthy body.)
He hadn't seen any death since he jumped into the store. I don't think I'm infected with a very dangerous epidemic.
As a precautionary measure, while he panicked and hugged himself, he secretly examined his body with [Embolic], but Cain was a healthy body. It seems to live much longer than Ivan.
Before leaving the 7th reclamation village after hearing the epidemic, I sterilized harmful bacteria and viruses from the village. Is this not a disease but a poison?
However, if you are two or one rabbits, how about poisoning almost all villagers? What is your motivation in the first place?
"Did something change today?"
When asked, Cain replied, "No, it was always the day, at least the day when the peddler came."
"A peddler?"
"Ah, he looked up, crushing his store and trying to start over again from the peddler. He came to a small village off the streets and helped ... Speaking of which, I wasn't in the village.
I have to fall down after leaving the village ...
(That person is the culprit. Well, the motive is unknown.)
But now it's a lifesaver rather than a deduction.
"Is that a village?"
The darkness of the night can be seen through like noon [Dark vision] Skilled Vandaloo finds several tree houses in open land.
"Yeah, maybe!
"I'll treat you at once from here."
"eh?"
"Is the village from here to here? Well, should I use 30 million?" [Detoxification] [Disinfection]
Things like waves of black haze spread throughout the village.
"You were alive!"
"Father-chan!"
"It's good! Hey, it's good!"
For Vandaloo, the scene is a bit of a look, but scenes of joy and excitement like Cain were taking place throughout the village.
When the villagers were suffering, there was no warning, no heat and no nausea, and the stunned consciousness was clear.
And my family was at the same time healed. When you are happy, you hear a voice from outside. There was Cain lit by pale flames.
At first, the villagers believed that Cain's ghost had caused a miracle, but the misunderstanding soon melted and became a moving whirlpool.
"... Well, is this safe?"
[Flying] with an adult (held) also consumed a great deal of magical power. There is no help for it because it is an inefficient technique.
I spent nearly 70 million magical powers. Moreover, it is sleepy because it is late at night. I want to sleep soon as a healthy child, but will I have to return to the Seventh Reclamation Village from now?
For the time being, let's make a remurus and look for the culprit's peddler who has disappeared in time. I don't know much about the geography around here, so if you get off the highway and enter the road, it's likely you won't find it.
He decides that the peddler is the culprit, but he is definitely not ill after the villagers have recovered from the detoxification. And because there is no peddler, the situational evidence is perfect.
"Oh everyone, the poison has disappeared, but my strength hasn't returned so don't get too excited. Please rest."
"You, this child?"
"This child has cured your illness, a village benefactor! Thank you, thank you!"
The word poison was inadvertently heard. Cain lifts her face with a tearful and runny face.
"What ?!"
"Oh, the savior of the village!"
"It's an angel. Al-"
"It's Vida."
"Vida's angel of Goddess Vida!"
I was almost terribly uncomfortable, so I refused only that.
"No, not at all-
It turned out to me, but at that time Vandaloo was being smashed by the villagers. Vandaloo mumbled, saying that he wouldn't know if he couldn't move tomorrow, but would stay in this village today.
The search in Remulus was unsuccessful and escaped by the peddler in question. Perhaps it would have worked if the dead had come out, but there was no clue that no villagers died as a result of Cain's hard work and the treatment of Vandaloo.
According to the villagers, that day was a holiday of God that the peddler had never heard of (existing or suspicious), so he acted out to everyone and he gave in Apparently I got tacha and sweets.
This may be because Cain's wife and son had poison in the confectionery they had left for him out of hunt. It seems that the peddler was getting worse, so he said that only those who are now should eat, but evidence remains.
Well, I'm wondering if the poison has already been erased by magic and has evidence. I don't think anyone else can find any trace of poison that has been extinguished with death attribute magic.
I don't think the peddler who did this kind of thing was carefully registered in the commercial guild.
Well, maybe they went to the nearest stupid town, thinking they had killed all the villagers.
And while calming the shocked villagers who noticed that he had been betrayed by a trusted peddler, Vandalou who stayed overnight in the village said what he was doing with a lookout Remruth around the village ... ….
"Careers are all in."
He was flying in the sky while singing a flat song.
This is to see if yesterday's peddler was doing anything else in the pioneer village.
Of course, you can ignore it and go to the town to give you the necessary adventurer registration, but if you have a village that is poisoned and dying like the 5th reclamation village, it will be hard to wake up Become.
(Speaking of sleeves is also the edge of life, and compassion does not have to be for others)
As for the reward, I decided to have the village build a Vida shrine because I was dismayed to get the money. Like a shrine in Arda, a shrine is a simple stone carved with a holy mark (heart mark) on a suitably sized stone and a simple roof. But because of its simplicity, it's easy to ask.
Thanks to this, Vida's incarnation of angels has become more and more important, but it is no good.
"It's difficult ... oh?"
Right now, I was on my way to the sixth reclamation village. On the way, I noticed that there were about a dozen people on the ground.
At first glance, men in dingy atmosphere, armed with worn-out leather armor, are following the animal trail leading to the sixth reclamation village.
I take out the map that Cain drew on the bark and check it, but I'm certain.
When you call out the spirits on the backs of the men and listen to them, they seem to be bandits. After repeating it to other spirits several times, the same answer was returned, so it looks like a bandit.
Let's get rid of it.
"Okay guys, when you get to the village, kill all the men and kill the women after having fun! I'm not going to hurt a good looking guy who sells well!
"It is bad"
"What !? Temee, against me !? Who is this kid?"
Bandarou was there as he looked back as a scared man. Floating in the air without sound.
"Or head, this is a monster!"
"Suddenly fall from above ... surely a ghost or something!"
Vandalu responds to the bandit bandits.
"No, it's just a seven-year-old flying by the street."
In this world, just seven-year-olds do not fly.
"Chu, the name is over! @ Cain, kill this guy with the power of Teme!"
When the head orders, the grinning grinning skinhead man, the best-built bandit, comes forward.
"Head, can I play before killing?"
"I still like oysters ... I love them!"
"Hihi, forgiveness came out!"
Cain shouts happily and shakes her two-handed warhammer, glancing at her eyes.
"Head, are you going to hit the village now?"
"Isn't that a problem? If it's Cain, it's decided to break it like that."
"Is that so too?"
"Hey, if you're calm, just play with your limbs after breaking them. But if you want to resist, you'll crush your limbs and make them into toys!"
"... Wow, idiot."
"What the hell !? I hate being told that I'm stupid! I don't know!"
"I don't know."
"Dude!
Cain, a bandit who turned red in anger and resembled a boiled octopus, thrust his warhammer at Vandaluo.
"Your kid, this warhammer swing is enough!"
(No, if there isn't enough, you can't do anything, isn't it?)
So instead of putting in a pinch, Vandaloo showed his tongue out.
"Small fish like you, this tongue is enough"
"This gas-"
Before something shouted, Vandaloo's cheeks bulged. Then, even in his expressionlessness, I can admit some cuteness.
However, his cheeks returned flat with a small whine vomiting something.
Cain stiffened, and fell back like a kuchiki. There was no glimmering pupil in the left orbit, just a red blood pool.
"eh?"
"Well, Cain? What happened?"
When the bandits were stunned, something like a slimy red snake came out of Cain's left eye.
"Hey !?"
In front of a bandit pulling his hips, the red snake crawled out of Cain's orbit and floated in the sky, dripping blood, and went straight into Vandalu's mouth.
"... original martial arts, [Toshifeng]. If you shoot with secretion of poison, it's a medium power. The downside is that if you use it once you have to collect or grow it, you will not be able to talk."
Taking advantage of the effect of [poison secretion (tooth tongue)], the tongue that has been cut out by only [spiriting] the root is ejected and attacked while using the [remote control] skill together. .
Of course, there will be only about Bandarou who will come up with these techniques.
"Well, can it be used as a deep hand?"
"What, what are you !?"
"For now, Cain is just a good hunter Cain, so let's handle it normally."
"Let's run away! This kid is really spooky ... what, my legs don't move ...?"
"Oh, my limbs tremble ... what, why, why don't you move?"
Vandaloo approaches the desperate struggling bandits, gliding in the air. At the tip of his small hand was a claw that was too long to cut the throats of bandits.
"I sowed poison normally. Didn't you notice me calling upwind?
So please answer my question? I'll ask again after killing me
