The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

"... I don't ......... I really ... Hirahi ..."

Vandaloo groaned, as the head of a bandit with eyes like a dead fish drooled down from the end of his mouth and muttered.

"Don't you really know, then the timing is strange?"

The day after the attempted poisoning of villagers by peddlers, bandits were trying to attack another pioneer village. Too weird to think by accident.

However, neither the bandits' heads nor the minions had any clues.

Bandits who have moved to change their territory purchase the location of the pioneer village at the nearest town called Niaki from an information store at a low price, and there are no adventurers other than the seventh pioneer village so they can easily attack It seems that he came to here.

I know the inside of the pioneer village where only some people including the peddler come and go, the information shop is suspicious, but no bandits know the name, and the face is hidden from the eyes with cloth under the eyes Appearance.

This can't be followed.

"Do you want to inject a little more just in case?"

"No ... no ... no ... no ..."

"I would consider if you stopped killing, committing, or selling those who so begging, is there?"

"Well, uh ... oh ..."

"I knew"

Vandalu puts the tip of the claw, which is dripping with liquid, into the open mouth of the leader. Then she drips the liquid secreted from her nails.

The liquid is a so-called confession secreted by [poison secretion (nail tongue)].

The [poison secretion (nail tongue)] skill acquired in the [poison manual] job is a skill that can literally secrete poison, but unlike the ghoul skill, there was no designation of the poison that can be secreted as paralysis poison.

So, before I got into [Poison Maneuver], when I tried the idea, "Isn't this job going to be good at handling poisons and drugs?" Although it is less toxic than making it, it can secrete various effects of poison from nails, fangs and tongue.

Vandalou has become a living pharmacy that can secrete sunscreens, eye drops, and even vitamins to confessions, disinfectants, anesthetics and gastrointestinals.

…… The disadvantage is that it is not magical power, but is a nutrient that the body has in the body, so it can not be as aggressive as magic.

He repeats the same question he had asked before, but before he answers, he begins to cramp and dies.

"And the answer to that question?"

"I don't know ... really ... I don't know ..."

Encouraging the leader's spirit to answer as if nothing had happened, and not disappointed that it was the same as before, Vandaloo grabs on the body of the just dead leader and bites into his neck.

And perform [blood sucking]. He sucks in the confession ingredients remaining in the leader's body, but has no effect before his [Condition Tolerance] skill.

"Wow, I was hungry for animal protein since yesterday, so it was just fine. The rest ..."

Quickly search for bandits' pockets, get some cash, and collect their weapons. And the corpse is thrown away in the hole made by [Golem training], rotted until it becomes white bone by [rot], and then buried.

"This is good"

And Vandaloo [flighted] again and headed to the sixth reclamation village.

There seemed to be nothing special in the village, so I heard from the villagers who were surprised at the white-haired dampir coming down from the sky, and after some treatment, decided to go to the next village.

"Wait for your angel! I can't help thanking you for healing my father's eyes!"

"No, not really?"

After performing a simple [ghosting] operation, they secrete eye drops and just made a small bottle to put the medicine with [golem training].

"Thank you for healing his son's burn! Thanks to him, his son's finger is fingering."

After all, it was just a simple [spiriting] operation and assimilation and a [fast healing] skill to heal the wound and restore the finger.

Well, it will be a big thing in the village of Mu-I-Mura (Mura-Mage Village). However, it is tempting to get money for money. This reclamation village is, of course, somewhat poorer than the seventh reclamation village and also the fifth reclamation village.

"Then build the shrine of the goddess Vida, so you can do it during your work. It's enough to carve a sacred mark on a stone and put on a simple roof."

This time he headed to the next reclamation village.

"[Surgery] skill level has been raised!

The village was a poor but good village where the villagers spend their days working hard.

"Buggyagyu!"

"Bufu!"

"Buggigigigi!"

Until you break the poor wooden wall surrounding the village and three oaks enter.

"Now, escape, oak!"

"Hi!"

The villagers rush ahead. The familiar enemy orcs of adventurers are also a major threat to poor refugee villagers.

A single hunter or a young crowd in the village might be able to manage to get rid of it, but if you have three, you can't help.

You may think that it may be possible to turn around if the village men are out in total, but the village is reasonably wide if you include farmland. Everyone could not be rushed to the orcs, which appeared without warning, with farming tools instead of weapons.

The orcs proceed with a smooth and light step, looking around as if they were deciding from the escaping villagers.

"Kyaa!"

Ahead of his gaze, a girl trying to escape fell. It may take a year or two to grow up, but it is old enough to satisfy Orc's dirty desires.

"Buffy"

Three orcs approaching the girl ahead.

"Bess! I'm going now!"

Running there is a beastman, a wolf-eared and tailed creature of the same age as the girl with the hoe.

"Morris! I couldn't help you anymore, I ran away!"

"I don't want to! Pass Beth to something oak!"

She rushes under her childhood friend, perhaps her favorite girl, to break through the restraint of a father-like wolf beast man.

"Maurice, come on!"

Beth stops Maurice. He knows he can't beat the orcs. Of course, Maurice knows it.

If a child like you can get rid of it with a hoe, adventurers will have no difficulty. I'm sure he'll be beaten and killed by Orc's club just to gain some time before Beth gets dirty.

But Maurice couldn't stop his actions.

"Thank you, I'm your opponent!"

The orcs welcomed the boy who raised his hoe at the bottom of his burrow, saying "Bukyakya ♪". A young male, still tender in meat, came near the female.

"Buhoho!"

The orc raises his club to kill him.

"Wow!"

On the other hand, Maurice's swinging hoe hit the thick fat of the oak and the muscle beneath it without being pierced.

Desperate in Maurice's face.

Suddenly, blood splatters.

Beth thought it was Maurice's and closed his eyes. Maurice also thought he was dead.

"First, one, then [Shiken]"

But the villagers did. A white child descending from the sky at a blazing speed exploded the orc's head with a single blow.

"Bug !?"

There is a weak point in the head of the second orc that the movement is large and easy to avoid, but it strikes and kills by attacking with [Martial Arts] martial arts with high power.

"Bug !?"

The third swings the club back to me, but it's too slow from the eyes of Vandaloo, who was training with Braga.

Inject a neurotoxin that exceeds the lethal dose with a pomegranate and a claw.

After a large spasm several times, Orc broke his knees and fell down.

"Ah ... that?"

And Vandalu looked back at the boy, Morris, who opened his mouth.

"I don't know if I'm reckless, but because I'm a human being, I understand that emotions sometimes run ahead and I remember.

I was grateful for what I wanted to say. ''

"Oh, oh, thank you"

Maurice reflexively thanks a boy who speaks smoothly and floats in the air with his half-body dyed in blood and one arm bent at an odd angle.

"So don't be afraid of me"

As always, he was not confident in personal luck. Even though I helped her where she was being attacked, she is worried that she might say, "Hey, another monster!"

"Um, arms ..."

Vandalu pointed out his broken arm because he could not withstand the acceleration of the fall and the shock that killed the orcs, straightened his arm casually with the other hand, and only the lower part of the clothes [ghosting]. Ensure that bones and blood vessels are properly positioned and healed immediately.

"Healed"

"What's healing?"

Beth was surprised with her eyes open, but then Maurice and herself completely returned to me with the words told by Vandaloo.

"Would you like to dismantle the oak? If you have three, all the villagers can eat their stomachs."

There were Maurices nearby, but they had squeezed their magic to kill them in a way that would allow them to recover the meat. There is no reason not to eat.

When asked why the oak spirit had attacked the village, the boss replied that he had said, "Let's go rampant in this village."

"And the boss?

"I let go and went somewhere"

"Boss is oak?

"No, human"

"Do you know your face and name?

"He was a boss. The face has the nose in the same shape as a human. '

"The ears were not sharp. The color was darker than you. '

"The horns and wings did not grow"

That was all I knew because becoming a spirit did not make me wise.

If you guess, maybe a racial tamer somehow urged three orcs to this reclamation village. After all, I made a remurus and looked for suspicious people around me, but I still couldn't find it.

Isn't it sold somewhere considering the land?

Lamenting, Vandaloo dismantled the orc using his claws.

Vandaloo doesn't have the [disassembly] skill he usually has if he is a solo adventurer. But instead, he had the Cooking and Surgery skills, so he could do almost the same thing as Demolition.

So he dismantled the oak more quickly than any of the villagers, and then started cooking with perishable offal.

However, villagers say that they can't use a lot of water for cooking because of the recent lack of water. Then the internal organs cannot be processed. However, I do not want to show the villagers where to use skills such as death attribute magic and [Golem Training].

So Vandaloo stole the villagers' eyes and went behind a house where no one was, and quickly dug a well with Golem Training.

[Escape from the body] Exploring the ground, discovering underground cavities and groundwater veins at a depth that is difficult to dig by hand. The earth between the ground and the groundwater vein is used as a material to make an earth golem or rock golem, and if the golem is moved to the underground cavity, groundwater will come out.

If the side of the hole is hardened with a rock golem, the well is complete. Of course, it has been confirmed that groundwater is suitable for drinking.

"Oh, there's a well here!"

And a certain body imitates a child detective and guides the villagers.

"Such an idiot, a well in such a place ... a well! There is a well !?"

"What ?! Poko, this is ...?!?"

"Water !? What about water?"

The rushing villagers. Vandalu returns to cooking with the water he has already pumped.

And carefully process the internal organs.

"How much [sterilization] or [disinfection] does not mean that the contents of the internal organs are physically lost."

Nobody wants to eat the contents of oak offal, even though it's harmless to the human body. So is Vandalu.

"Thank you, angel! I have not only helped my sons, but also gave me such a rich well, how to thank him ...!"

"Thanks to this, the village will continue to flourish for years and decades! Thank you, thank you!"

By the way, the villagers noticed that the well was the work of Vandalu.

Of course, he did not expect to completely deceive him. The point is, if you don't know you're using unknown magic and skills. If you just dig a well, earth and water magic will be enough.

"Um, a little while cooking ... um, thanks are enough to build a Vida shrine."

"I understand! When the village prospers, we will build a temple!"

"No, a shrine is enough."

However, it seems that the water shortage in the village was more serious than Vandaloo imagined. If it could not be improved within a few years, he would have to consider abandoning the village.

"And where are you now, Vandalu?

"The last second reclamation village."

At the dried-up neck of the goblin, a magic item for communication, Vandaloo was talking to Eleonora while flying.

"I'm sorry, why is Vandaloo helping the reclamation village? The purpose of this time is to register in the adventurer's guild, right?

Apparently Eleonora doesn't know why Vandaloo is helping the reclaimed village.

"Don't say that. Isn't it good to help people? "

"Great, King. By the way, my encounter ---

"If you stand out too much, you'll notice the vampires who serve Hihilyshkaka. I don't think you should do too much. '

Zlan is favored by the Duchess of Hartner, who had originally traded. To be precise, the pioneers are refugees from the Duke of Sauron, but they have no intention of distinguishing.

However, Eleonora argued that he should register with the Adventurer Guild earlier.

It's a very common-sense claim that you should not take risks to help those who are not Tarosheim's people and do nothing.

In fact, if you pass by the usual way, you will pass by, thinking "it's hard". Of course, a magician who can use healing magic may have helped Ivan in the Seventh Reclamation Village.

But did he go to the fifth reclamation village afterwards? Do you intend to visit other reclamation villages after that? There is no obligation, just passing by, not an adventurer.

In fact, Vandaloo hasn't profited from helping the villagers. The result was gratitude and respect from the poor, poor inns and meals, and a promise to build a Vida shrine. They do nothing to help him achieve his goals.

Adventurer registration can be done independently of the pioneers, and there is no denial of registration for not helping the pioneers before registering.

There is no need to consider the desires of the lower people of the general public to become an aristocracy, so there is no problem.

It won't help you resurrect Darussia or kill the Heinz enemies.

So on the contrary, Eleonora seems to only increase the risk of noticing the enemy evil god vampires.

"That's right, but if you can help it, you should help."

However, this is what Vandaloo says.

"I say that compassion is not for the sake of others. If you do good things in this way, you will come around and return good things."

"Is that so?

Vandalou's theory is a stupid, friendly theory, given Eleonora's values and half-life.

"That's right"

However, Vandaloo makes no mistake.

Because he believes in ugliness, stupidity, malice, and evil. Even thinking that it is human enough because of having it, I do not deny that I have it.

But ugliness is beauty, foolishness is clever, bad intentions are good intentions, and evil is good only if goodness exists. Everything in the world is ugly, stupid and wicked, and if evil, there is no word for them. All negatives can be expressed as "normal", "average", "normal", and "average".

Therefore, it is no doubt that there is beauty, wisdom, good will, and goodness in a person.

Thus, Vandalou can be said to believe in human beauty, wisdom, good intentions, and goodness.

"I don't mean the duty of those with power. I don't like the idea of saying that. I just want to be happy and just make everyone a little bit happy."

"But vampires ...?

Elonora, who spoke up to that point, interpreted that Vandaloo was practicing the idea of teaching a young child, "If you smile everyone, you can also make yourself smile," other than enemies and enemies. .

Then I can understand it. I think it's nice, but she was originally an assassin sent to kill Vandaloo. She is now thanks to that friendly way of thinking.

However, Vandalu replied comfortably, appealing that he would still want to consider the danger of being noticed by the vampires.

"It's still okay. Even the most powerful vampires on the continent, the Guvamons who serve Hichryshkaka, will not have enough organizational resources to have a resident in the freshly pioneered village.

The peddler is far from coming to the village, and knowing me to the town is much further away. ''

"That's good, but ..."

"Well then, will we also go near that reclamation village?

"Hmm, don't let the villagers find it."

"King, myself-"

"And if you can do things about our offspring and Revere, please ask me."

"Yes, but I don't think the villagers know."

There was no attempted poisoning by peddlers, no sneaking bandits, no tamer to urge the orcs, at the second settlement, the last village.

But instead of a sudden crisis, a chronic crisis seems to have been going on for a long time.

"It was good in the first year, but while the rice yields are dropping year by year. We are also improving the land. But instead of paying the tax three years later, we will die of starvation this winter. The angels of Arda, please save the village! "

Below the head of the dwarf village, Vandaloo can bow down to the villagers. What happens when you come down from the sky while raising the village and praying for good harvest?

"Well, I'll try it ... and I'm Dumpel, a follower of Vida, not an angel of Arda."

Like the former settlements, the second settlement has an Arda shrine for some reason. Did Arda's priest meet at the Seventh Pioneer Village eagerly propagate?

Rabbits are also horns, and what can be done in Vandaloo is just limited. For now, let's go to see the soil in the rice field. By the way, rice fields are dry fields without water.

[Agriculture] At a glance, my knowledge and intuition from my skills seemed to suggest that the rice had weakened.

There is plenty of water and it doesn't seem sick. So when I licked the soil and tried to check the ingredients by taste, there was a weak reaction to [danger detection: death].

"Maybe it's poison?" [Disinfection]

The reaction disappeared from the soil. Apparently, the soil contains harmful ingredients. Applying [detoxification] to the rice worked, so that would be the reason for the failure.

"But why poison the soil?"

Strange. The quality of the soil in this village and the soil in other pioneer villages look the same. If poison is mixed in the agricultural water, [danger detection: death] should react to the irrigation canal.

Are they using special fertilizers? When I heard that, everyone shook his head, including the mayor.

"The fertilizer uses plant ash and manure made from human dung, but other pioneer villages should do the same."

"Father, once the Knights would have brought pest control medicine along with the training."

"That's right. That's why Prince Lucas, the eldest son of the Duke, was the chief of the Knights. But he seems to have delivered the same medicine to other reclamation villages ..."

Listening to the conversation between Mayor Dwarf and his son, who could only tell whether the hair and beard were white or black in color, was not clear.

No matter what you think, the medicine to avoid the pests is suspicious, but I don't know why the Knights poisoned only the rice fields in this reclamation village.

Unless you have a weird house turmoil, though.

(The pioneering business is certainly led by Berton, the second son, and the Knights' commander is Lucas, the eldest son. There is only a bad feeling about the rice fields in this village to peddlers, bandits, and Tamers.)

Why are you doing a conspiracy drama in a poor reclamation village at the edge of this territory, saying that there is a house turmoil? The fight for bloody bones and meat should be done by ourselves in the castle or mansion.

"For the time being, the poison of rice field soil and rice was erased."

Perhaps they have erased the evidence, but if so, it would be useless to preserve them because there is a powerful person behind the culprit.

The villagers cheered, but it was a subtle achievement for Vandalu. Even if the poison disappears, starvation in winter will not change if it becomes bad crops due to cold damage, pests, diseases, etc.

Is there any way to improve the food situation in this village? If the magic is scattered in the rice fields, the beans that are planted in the river may become monster plants, so besides that.

When I thought so, I remembered it suddenly. Goblins are still more common around the pioneer village, probably because of the Goblin King. And gobubu grass can be obtained as soon as you look for it.

"Then I'll teach you how to eat goblins that don't taste bad as emergency food."

Let's make ghoul's emergency food, gobgob.
