The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 85: The King Who Can Go to Meet
Corfu, a group of caravans merchants delivering goods to the slave mines, remembered a strange commotion.
Recently, a lot has happened in this Duke of Hartner in rapid succession.
First, a dungeon appeared in the town of Niaki, causing a monster runaway and a fuss.
The monster runaway and the dungeon named "Heinz Skeleton Cave" were resolved by an A-class adventurer party. As a result of the search, the dungeon was announced to be a C-class dungeon of thirty levels, and it is said that if the demons were thinned out regularly, no monsters would appear.
There are many insect-type and plant-type monsters with undead and poison, and many of the hierarchies are composed of caves, swamps, and dense forests.
At the time of the runaway, all monsters were stronger than the rank, but the current monster seems to be as normal as usual.
However, only when Heinz of [Blue Flame Sword] enters the dungeon, a monster floods him.
This is an opportunity for Niak towns, especially adventurer's guilds, where there were only a few small and medium scales and nearby D-class dungeons. The demons that come out are special, so they won't receive it.
For the caravans' merchants, they hoped that a rare drug could be made from the poison of demons. It was all right to say that the remnants of the Demon King brought out the dungeon to kill the hero, The Five Colored Blades, especially the leader Heinz. At best, I thought it would be a seed for chatting.
Next, the castle of Nineland, the capital of the Duke of Hartner, leaned. It is not a metaphorical expression of the financial crisis, but rather a physical lean. It was hard to believe because the merchants did not look directly, but it is surely broken. Everything seems to involve an outlaw who was rampaging in the north, but details have not yet been communicated.
Either way, they knew that they wouldn't have a direct relationship with themselves, who would do business in the frontiers. I don't want to raise taxes when it comes to rebuilding the castle.
However, I left the town of Niaki and stayed overnight at the reclamation village, and then headed further south to the slave mine, where it turned out not to be the case.
"Master ... After all, one count is not enough, no matter how many times you count."
"Yes, do you see that?"
Every day or two after leaving the settlement, I approached my destination, the slave mine, and came to see the rocky mountains lined up ... but the scenery I saw many times changed.
One rocky mountain has been reduced.
"What do you mean? Was it a big earthquake?"
"If a big earthquake hits the mountains, I'm sorry to be in the town of Niak. People in the pioneer village should know. First, then, the other mountains would also crash."
"So, do you say that the mine has collapsed and the mountain has collapsed?"
"This must have been a terrible monster, surely the devil who tilted the castle did it!"
"I said it was a hoax, calm down!"
"I'm not upset! If you hurry, you're going to say that if you lose, that's what you usually do!"
Corfu, the chief of the caravans, scolds his subordinate merchants. But he knew it was an emergency.
But I can't go back to town here.
"Everyone has a weapon at hand. Escorts should be able to fight at any time."
"Are you going like this?"
"Naturally, let's get away without knowing what's going on. We're merchants!"
It's an emergency, but there's no visible threat or danger right now. No volcanic eruptions or terrifying monster roars have been heard.
If the corfs turn back in this situation, it would be a breach of contract. Their carriages carry the groceries, daily necessities, and luxury items that go into slave mines.
If there were any disasters in the slave mines and the survivors were waiting for help, the corfes could be annihilated if they escaped without confirming the location. Instead of being fined, the worst of Corfe's head physically flies. Otherwise, the coward who says, "I'm just afraid and turned back because something is happening," is not eligible to form a caravan in the frontiers.
So the corfs have to see what's going on in slave mines.
In this world, merchants can't survive only with money accounts. You need to live for trust.
On the third day, the approaching slave mine's wall was severely collapsed and destroyed, centered on the gate. However, there is no sign of a ferocious monster or a watch on the occupying armed groups.
In this case, there will be no sudden annihilation. With that in mind, when approaching with caution ... the corfs saw a terrible thing.
"But it's a skeleton! A soldier ... No, all the slaves are skeletons!"
A monster with only white bones that makes a sound each time it moves and makes a rattle and jaw instead of a laugh.
A skeleton armed with soldier's armor and weapons, a giant skeleton of over 2 meters with a crane or scoop in one hand and a rag cloth instead of clothes hanging on the body ... over a hundred of them It seemed to the Corfs that they were.
"Run away, run to the town, you have to let the town know this!"
There will be no survivors, and if they do, they will escape and soon escape and report that the mines of slave mines have disappeared in the town of Niak, and soldiers and slaves have turned into skeletons. Brought back.
The third major event, which shook the Dukes of Hartner, was so widespread.
Edgar, one of the members of Goshiki Blade, noticed that the leader of Dark Night Fang had been replaced with an undead, and their success also eliminated the Vampire Zombie. Later, when they arrived at Nineland at the nomination of the Duchess of Hartner and the Temple of Arda, they returned to Tarosheim and paused.
Congratulations on your fulfillment of the oracle! Permission to build a new statue of the Son!
"Your Majesty, now has the opportunity to introduce your own currency!
"Vandaloo, I told you on the telecommunications equipment that a new dungeon has been created. When will you capture?"
We are thrilled to explore new adventures, including Nuaza worshiping Vandalu, who has won the two names of [Son of Vida], like a living god. Vigaro.
The three of them whisper to Vandalu at the castle, but Vandalu was far from responding.
"This smooth and comfortable stroke is comfortable, don't feel like it's been a long time."
"It's absolutely. By the way, do you withhold a little bit? Otherwise you will feel like you are hugging."
"If you think so, let's lose a little meat. You guys have less fat than your upper arm, boy?"
"Wow, the King's tongue stretches so much! Look mommy, like a worm!"
"That's really longer than Verbi's back. King, what's in his mouth?"
"Kikiki Chikichi ..."
"Huh? This is not a tongue but a centipede?"
"Uh?
"No, your tongue doesn't stretch .... it doesn't stretch, right?"
Because women were flooded.
The Nuazas could only see the limbs and tongues seen between Vandaloo, who reunited with him for the first time in about a month, and the women taking the skinship.
"I heard it, but it really makes me motivated."
"Yes, that's Vandalu-sama."
"Fufufu, were you surprised?"
"Hey, why are you proud of Eleonora and Rita? Isn't it usually a little different?
Eleonora and Rita are somehow proud of Princess Levia, who is surprised. And Saria cannot do much with Basdia because she did something similar.
By the way, Volks guided the town to Gofas, and Sam somehow went to practice flying. Inspired by the fact that Vandaloo is able to fly in the sky in the form of a monster, can the carriage be able to fly in the sky when practicing?
"Can you settle down soon?-Don't pull again because the tongue doesn't stretch anymore."
Vandalou said he was trapped between warm, soft and smelling human skin.
"Everyone wasn't so aggressive so far, and wouldn't have been able to meet for a few days?"
There were many times when I couldn't meet anyone other than the capture members, such as while capturing a dungeon during training. However, at that time, he was not so passionately hugged after returning.
"That's right, boy. It's been a bit of a hard time. It's a good thing that the Volks giant undead got out of Tarosheim more than half at a time."
"Oh, Van is making the walls well, and he usually captures dungeons and hunts in the surrounding magical areas.
"It was really hard to get new residents and those who came back, especially to teach and understand other ghouls about the marriage system."
"Yeah, really. I lectured all day in the former ethnic group of me and Talea. There was no rebound, but it took me time to get it understood."
Gofas The most anticipated trouble in bringing new inhabitants to Tarosheim is their sexual relationship with the ghouls. Since ghouls originally had little marriage culture, there was a possibility that they might be in trouble because they would call out whether they had children or spouses.
Recently, the effects of magic items distributed by Vandalou have dramatically improved the birth rate of children and stabilized the daily life, so the nights of ghouls are not as popular as they used to be, and natural and random search for opponents I didn't do anything like that. Because ghouls do not have no preference.
In addition, Vandaloo and Nuaza have long explained that "in the outside world, men and women are like this in other ethnic societies." This has led the Ghouls to perceive marriage as "particularly in close cooperation with certain partners while having and raising children."
However, there are still times when I say something like "I don't have a partner right now. When you have a child, you know, "Okay, I'll help you until you're an adult," so it's not completely irresponsible.
If you have a firm view of marriage, your worst afflictions can lead to bruises.
That's why Ghoul's elder Zadiris, his daughter, Basdia, his future Vandalu, and the former races of Taleah and Kthia who lived in human society, educated them well.
By the way, the marriage system in Lambda is not as robust as the earth, and ordinary people do not send documents to government offices. When you are married, greet your parents, relatives, neighbors, and workplace and end.
The only thing left on the paper is the royal nobleman who leaves the family tree.
However, in the new Tarosheim, everyone will leave it in documents.
"Everyone is having a hard time, thanks for your help. How about Cesare, family register?"
"Documents are already available. The rest is complete if you fill in. "
In Talosheim, the family register system was introduced at the intention of Vandaluo. It is more convenient to have a family register to operate a food distribution system.
It is now managed by the Cesares. ...... He is not a civilian but a general. Perhaps you have not forgotten yourself?
"So what about the dungeon?"
"I'm just looking around and watching around, but no monsters are coming out.
"Thank you. Perhaps the dungeon was the one I made and it might be different from a normal dungeon."
The new dungeon that emerged in the Immortal Forest of Talosheim was clearly influenced by the Labyrinth Construction skill given the timing.
However, it is usually surprising ...
"I thought it was."
"I wonder"
"All the people thought so"
No one was surprised.
"... Everyone's reaction is thin."
"Everyone knows that Van was pouring a lot of magic in that forest, and they all told him that it could grow in dungeons."
"I can't usually create it artificially, but the boy's magic is in the hundreds of millions.
"Oh, that's great. If you create a lot of dungeons in a hostile country and make monsters runaway, you can win without fighting!"
"Hey, if the monsters that came out weren't undead or bugs, we would be destroyed!"
"If you can freely adjust the terrain in the dungeon, I'd like to see" the sea "a little, but can you?"
Anyway, it seems that it is accepted that dungeons can be made. Talea is a bit dangerous, but Kachia is shy.
By the way, Vabi, Jadar and Pauvina are playing with Vandalu's tongue grabbing the eel.
Since the skin-friendly lotion-like secretions are emitted from the tongue, there is no problem with hygiene.
"In the meantime, let's allocate a place to live in Gofas, immediate food and daily necessities, decide on treatment for criminal slaves, and then start with dungeon capture and verification.
As for the currency, I gave Datara coins brought from the Duke of Hartner, so it was only after I understood the distribution of precious metals. But be sure to consider the currency names, if you come up to Cesare.
About my statue ... please when you like "
`` 'I understand (I got it)' ''
For security, dungeon capture and verification have the highest priority. The currency has since increased, and the statues have been increasing one by one every year, so I'm glad.
"Let's just leave the dungeon's lookout over to the bones and Knochen, and let the new people get used to it.
I don't know if it's at the origin, but the conflict between new and old residents everywhere on the planet. Distortion, light and shadow caused by immigration policy.
Bring it in and let it live, and that's not the end.
"So, let's get away soon."
"Eh, let's play more!"
As a result, they all came to see the Gofas.
However, the new inhabitants are more likely to adapt to Tarosheim than Vandaloo imagined.
"At first I was surprised a lot. It seemed like I was back 200 years ago, and when I go inside, the buildings and roads are more gorgeous than 200 years ago."
Gopha says, hitting the snap and reversi pieces. The townscape of Tarosheim is the one that was destroyed by the collapse of Vandaloo and repaired with [Golem Training]. So it's basically the same as before.
However, the faces and eyes of humans and birds and beasts, made by the hands of masons of the giant undead, are mounted everywhere. In fact, they are all golems to find intruders, but they look artistic and look like mysterious streets.
As a result, the townscape of Talosheim was as good as Nineland, the capital of the Duke of Hartner.
"And you're generous."
Gofa, in a faint honey-colored robe, points to the cloth and says. They only had clothes made of tattered linen, and were distributed to Tarosheim.
Everything is a trouser made of honey silk from Cemetery Bee. Wear it several times. In addition, I pass on shoes, hats, minimal furniture, and even the house.
"... it's pretty cheap, right? The fabric is not dyed and it will be hard in winter. Furniture is more than half of the thing I made, and I just allocated my home. I mean, the house is originally yours. "
"Yes, but you repaired the house from the rubble, aren't you, your Majesty, you're telling me?-The ex-pioneer villagers were in a fuss."
In Lambda, no matter what the blessing of a pioneer, there is nothing to provide pioneers with everything from daily necessities to homes. In particular, the provision of high-quality silk clothes and furnished solid stone houses that only a noble or wealthy person can wear is far from being a royal business of a great power.
The ex-pioneers of the former settlement screamed, "Is this a dream?", Worshiped ghouls to distribute supplies, and were chaotic.
It may be natural that the mine slaves have reached the level of living beyond their former status at once.
"A little. But for some reason. All of them were former slaves and only the necessities of life were taken from slave mines, so they would not be able to live without them.
Also, there are so many vacant houses in my house that I need to live instead. "
The former slaves, Gofas, had little to do with property and had to pay. And as long as it was paid, the defective product could not be handed over. …… In the first place, there are no defective products.
As for the cloth, beeskin can be made most stably. On the other hand, it is troublesome to demand hemp cloth or cotton which has a small production amount. Furniture was made by more than half of Vandaloo, but it did not use special materials. I just shaped the piece of wood around it with [Golem Training].
There is no point in allocating an empty house. I shuffled it a little so it didn't get stuck in one place.
"On the contrary, if you say that you live properly without paying, what kind of devil is it? I don't have a hobby of collecting unoccupied houses. "
Hitting the snaps and black pieces, says Vandaloo.
"Oh, but I'm glad to be grateful."
"Yes, thanks."
"More than that, what about life? For example, about religion, or about undead or demons ”
"Oh, that's right. Everyone is calmer than you imagine. Nobody is refusing."
Most worried at the outset were rejections of new slaves, such as undead, ghouls, and black goblins. However, according to Gofa, there is no such concern at the moment.
"When we saw Levia and his dads, they were all prepared to some extent.
I was a little surprised by the black goblins, oaks, and Kobolts, and I was stunned by the movement of the fields and the forest plants ...
Seems more forgiving than expected. After all, is it a resident of the world where different races with different shapes and ecology exist?
One of the reasons is that there are many members of Vida who are originally tolerant of the undead.
"It goes without saying about religion. I didn't like Arda originally and worshiped him. There is also a [Son of Vida] here."
"Huh. That's right. "
But the biggest ones are the two new names of Vandalu's newly acquired Son of Vida.
Having these two names in Vandalu is equivalent to the goddess Vida's endorsement of what he is doing. In fact, not all goddesses will see it, but they are interpreted.
For this reason, Gofas from Talosheim, who originally worshiped Vida, and the former pioneer villages from the former Sauron territory, where Vida's religion flourished, are treated like saints and prophets.
From the perspective of Vandaloo, if you did something you could do or want to do, that would just be the result. But since we are the only god in this world who is friendly to ourselves, we would be glad if we were recognized.
"That's kind of like the hero Zaccato, you should use ridiculous magic."
And Gofa and the others already knew the history of Vandaloo, which he announced when he was crowned at Tarosheim. I did not put a gag order separately, so anyone can hear about this.
"It's slightly different"
Hitting a snap and a black piece, turning white over to black, while saying there is no cheat ability.
Every time people come to Tarosheim, Vandaloo's past will be known. If you start trading with foreign countries in the future, rabbits will be well known throughout the corner continent.
I don't particularly feel a sense of crisis.
Being exposed to reincarnated people or being exposed to the Amid Empire or Ardians is meaningless.
There are so many different world products that are recreated in town, such as miso, soy sauce, mayonnaise and ketchup, so I'm wondering if you think it can be hidden.
If reincarnates hear that there is a country exporting miso or soy sauce abroad, you will first notice that they are in the same country, and Alda has banned the knowledge and skills of another world. You will also notice those religions and the empires that make them state religions.
Therefore, it would be more mentally sound to announce that "I am a different world from before," than to create a secret around you and accumulate stress. I thought so.
"Than that--"
"Oh, are you a criminal slave? We will have them take a job assigned to each appointment for a while and release them according to their work. '
Many of the criminal slaves brought are those who do not fall into the category of thugs in terms of Japanese values, but they are suddenly innocent and irresistible.
Therefore, I listened to the wishes of the person himself, and I was asked to work for manual labor, masonry, blacksmith, armorer, potter, etc., and agricultural work. This also serves as employment training, so it will be useful for life after liberation.
Incidentally, treatment was worse than in Japanese prisons. This is because if you do not have liberty, you will have a better life than lambda lower-tier workers or middle-class workers.
Eat three meals a day and a nutritious meal, work eight hours without overtime, and have a weekly guarantee. In a lambda world where there is no Labor Standards Law, it is a high treatment with drooling.
Therefore, in Tarosheim, meals are provided in sufficient quantities and nutrients, but two meals a day, and the rest is ten days a day.
Still, it is hardly bad treatment compared to subordinates and servants who have only a few days a year, and it is like heaven compared to the life of mining slaves.
"No, not really-"
"Is it about children? I learned to read and write arithmetic for a while, then worked in exchanges and temples for various purposes and wishes. Some say they'll be supposed to make me do it in the future, but I don't plan to do that. "
"Everyone thinks I know you won't have that much time looking at you. What I want to hear is, over here and over, which one is real."
Gofa is a phantom body that moves the piece by materializing only the fingertips in front of the eyes and other things, listening to the resident's story somewhere else, examining something, baking something on an iron plate and cooking Other vandaloo. A little further away, I compared and heard the physical Vandalu, surrounded by a beautiful girl from Ghoul, Princess Levia, and a little girl larger than a giant child.
"Everything is real"
"... The only thing I don't understand is, after all, your Majesty."
"Mmm, after all communication is difficult"
Why not, a frank, at-home-to-meeting king who is so secretive at home. It was Vandaloo who thought so.
Two name explanations ②: Son of Vida
Indicates that the owner is a specially loved and recognized person by the Goddess of Life and Love Vida. In the past, these two names have only been acquired by Vida's immediate descendants, such as vampires and dark elves, or those who have fulfilled the oracles and trials given by Vida.
For this reason, Vida's followers and new races receive the same respect as saints.
Increases understanding when receiving an oracle from Vida, and is compensated for Vida's [priestly] skill.
Normally, you can receive correction for life attribute magic, but you can not receive it because it is not suitable in the case of Vandaloo.
