The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 86: The Orchard of the Eccentric King

With better-than-expected immigration policies, Vandaloo decided to capture the dungeons in the Immortal Forest and verify his skills earlier than expected.

"I'm going to have a mother this time too!

Possess Darussia.

"I missed my mother, but if I went to Vandalu ... I think it would be quick to leave my parents."

"No, my mother was still sleeping when I came back."

Weak spirit Darussia spends more time sleeping in the tiny pieces of bone it dwells in. When Vandalu came home, it happened to be so.

However, there is no doubt that Darussia is a little different there.

"So I thought my mother, how could I become a fire ghost like Levia? I also died in the burning of fire and I think I'm sure I'm fit. '

"Wait, wait a little longer because I got the way to make homunculus"

"But if you're a ghost, you'll be able to help Vandaloo and stay with you forever."

"Please wait a little longer, please, because there will be some evil or evil god."

Vandalou thought this had to be hurried.

"Is a bad god or a bad god?"

"... Boy, why do you have a hatchet in one hand? And, as expected, evil and evil gods aren't in the dungeon just made."

"No, I wonder if there is only one hope"

Stopping imitating Namahage, which only Vandaloo knows, Vandaloo looks up at the dungeon that has appeared in the Immortalent forest.

The exploration members this time are the female members excluding Pauvina Juniors and Eleonora + Bones, Vigaro, 10 Cemetery Bee, and Luciliano with baggage.

"I'm a brain worker, teacher."

"I don't really need to carry my luggage. Look at our magic behind and if you have any advice, please."

Luciliano is a special adventurer and has a low fighting power even in the C class. However, he is a half-excused, but learned magician at a regular magician guild. There may be knowledge and different ideas that are almost impossible for our vandaloos.

"That's my apprentice, right? Look at my magic and tell me if there is something that could be applied."

"Let me do that, Master"

As a result, Vandalu hopes that this will not give up.

"But if the inside is narrow or the demon coming out is strong, I will go back and partition again."

"I understand, but it's okay, I'm much stronger than that!"

"Do you cry?"

"I won't cry! I won't cry!"

Entering the dungeon, making fun of Katya, it was a forest. It is not a jungle forest, a broadleaf forest around Tarosheim, or a giant fern forest in Volks suburban grassland, but a coniferous forest such as pine and cedar.

"While the Lord was away, I descended to the first floor to see how the monster would not run away, but this was inside.

The demon is like that. "

At the point where the bone man points, a giant colorful mushroom that destroys the atmosphere of the coniferous forest ... a poison mash of rank 3.

It looks like a giant mushroom with limbs, but it is a ferocious monster that attacks and kills creatures, but leaves its offspring with spores on its corpse, against its charming appearance.

It stands about three.

"Standing."

"... At this distance, the bow and arrow can reach normally, but why is that monster standing?"

"Isn't there a large number of people so we're on guard?

"No, I'll run away. Well, will I try to attack?"

For the time being, Basdia, Zadiris and Katia will each attack with magic. These are all attacks to see the situation, and it seems unlikely to be as powerful.

Poison Mash took them seriously, immobile. The mushrooms are cut by the blade of the wind, leaving a fragrant smell that burns with heat.

"It doesn't work."

"Well, weird"

"In this way. By the way, I also beat some with bows and arrows.

"I threw the ax several times and defeated it. It's a different monster than you are now."

"Did you beat it? ... I'm a little worried, so try to beat that poison mash."

"Okay, let's leave it."

Zadiris receives a wand that Vandaloo brought from the guild master's mansion of the magician guild, and uses the technique of [light blade] to quickly defeat the poison mash.

Vandalou, who had been watching him for a while even after the mushroom fell, tilted his head.

"That poison mash has no soul. Why?"

"I can't see it for sure"

"There is no soul, isn't it because it's a plant?"

"Bilde, plants have souls."

I don't know in other worlds, but in lambda plants have souls. To be precise, all living beings have souls.

It is difficult to tell whether there is a soul in the tiny microorganisms and viruses that cannot be seen without an electron microscope because they are invisible to Vandaloo. However, it is hard to imagine that the monster poison mash has no soul even though the plant has a soul.

"Besides, the poison mash that you defeated elsewhere had a soul."

"So what is it?

"Is it still just inside?"

"No, that's dead, but let's check for the magic stone to confirm."

Magic stones form after the death of the monster's heart. So if magic stones are in the body, it is proof that the monsters are dead.

When the body of the poison mash was torn, it was confirmed that magic stones had formed. This poison mash is definitely dead.

"Hmmm, I don't know. Why can't I exist without a soul, even though it's not broken? Luciliano, what do you think?"

"Teacher, I'm a magician and not a psychic, so I don't know."

"Wow, I didn't mind, but it was strange again. Isn't that because it's a dungeon made by the Lord?

"Yes, I don't know what a dungeon was created artificially until now, but it's hard to say ... I can't see the absence of a soul in the first place, except for the undead, unless it's a boy from"

Hard to say anything. In the first place, it is not clear at all what the dungeon says in terms of the principles and mechanisms that create monsters inside.

"Well, let's ask why we have no soul if we have the opportunity to meet God."

Yes, Vandalu says, but it's not clear if he will tell you. Because the question is stepping into an area that mortal existence cannot tell.

The monsters appearing one after another in the dungeon is a benefit of the Demon King's reincarnation system created by Demon King Gudranis. Because countless souls flowing through the system are used as they are for monsters that occur in dungeons.

The same applies to dungeons created by other evil or evil gods.

However, Vandaloo does not have his own reincarnation system and does not know how to use other systems.

For this reason, the monster generated in the dungeon created by Vandaloo is a living robot that moves without a soul. The only exception is if a monster has entered the dungeon from outside, or if the soul has acquired an empty soul and has acquired the soul.

The same applies to Heinz Skeleton Cave, which is near the town of Niak, and is programmed to move to speak for Vandaloo's hatred. Except for the individual at the head of, it has no soul.

However, such knowledge is known only to the gods, so Vandaloos cannot guess. I had to shelve it for the time being and move on.

"Well, not good. Can I earn experience?

Vandalu responded to Darussia's words by shaking his head.

"I can make money, but just standing like a scarecrow is not a skill practice.

The one who attacks me normally will be helpful. ''

At the moment that Vandalou said so, Poison Ape, a monkey monster with saliva poison that did not move as rigidly as a poison mash as if it were also turned on, shouted "Kiki!" .

After defeating Poison Ape, surprisingly and dangerously, the Bandarloos were testing with other demons why the monster suddenly began to move.

"Stop, prone, hand, wait, hang on, stop after all .. Yeah, only" stop "and" come "are effective."

Each time he directed, he said, checking out the rank 4 poison ent, standing like a doll, swaying the arms of a branch and attacking, and changing his busy behavior.

"I'm surprised ... isn't it different from having a tamer?"

"Yes, no. I don't hear anything else. For example, please turn me three times."

Vuvuvuvuvuv.

The Cemetery Bees grabbed the Vandalu with his feet and flew around, swirling around with Kuru Kuru three times before dropping to the ground.

"On the other hand ... please turn me three times"

Ask Poison Ent to do the same, but don't let it settle.

"I don't react to my words like this."

"Ordinarily, three times?"

"Sure, it's not like you're doing it."

Luciliano's muttering is heard and everyone leans at these strange monsters.

"Isn't it because you have no soul? I don't know how to say a creature without soul"

"I guess it's because you made this dungeon that you hear a little bit of what he says.

"Sure, it's close to a golem if you think about it."

"Is it a golem?"

Luciliano explained, relieved that this time he was not heard.

"Golems are dolls made by alchemists, but in many ways they have no soul. In order to move them, the master alchemist issues a sequential command, or a pseudo-person who has previously entered commands. Must be embedded.

In the days of the Jindai, there seemed to be golems with the same judgment and applied power as humans, but in the modern era, even a few simple commands in response to the voice of the master are luxury goods. Yeah. "

"It's very different from the golem that Van made."

"... the golems made by the teacher have the same performance as any alchemist. If we can make them, the world will be inevitable."

Luciliano, who came to Talosheim and saw a golem factory and a golem monitoring network where a golem moves instead of a machine and tasted several times `` surprise that the common sense is destroyed '', pulled his mouth .

In the slave mines, many beautiful and terrifying ghosts are used, and the magic that uses them to turn one rock mountain into a depression, albeit about 500 meters above sea level, is impressed by the terribleness of exercising without using spell casting Luciliano, but how many times has the magician industry been overturned in Talosheim just a few days ago? I don't want to count anymore.

"Rabbits are the cornerstones of change, and the strange behavior of demons seems to be because they have no soul."

Vandalou, who is slightly sparse with the magician's common sense, nods while thinking about such a thing. And, for the time being, she slashes the poison ent in front of her with a claw.

"For the time being, I will not be trained if I leave this, so let's have it attack me normally."

Since Vandaluu has said so, the demon has attacked as normal as any other dungeon. I don't know how it works, but even if you go down to another level, it's likely that the whole dungeon monster is so.

"I'll have to make sure that it's the same if I come in without Vandaloo later."

"That's right. If you have to give orders to each child, you can use it for training."

"... Why do you raise the level of difficulty in obtaining materials and experience points safely?"

Vitalo and Zadiris, fighting ethnic groups, argue, but Luciliano bows down. A dungeon where you can safely hunt monsters of rank 4 or higher, if you know that you want it in any country.

"What are you talking about, adventurer, Lord?"

"I'm an adventurer, but I'm not the only one who likes adventures."

"Yeah, there's a lot of people who keep going because they can't make money elsewhere, and even if they don't go up in skill level, they go up and ... maybe I'll be happy before I became a ghoul."

Katya agrees with Luciliano. Apparently, adventurers are not all fighting races. That fact surprised anyone except them.

"What is it !? Isn't he always uplifting?"

"I thought they were all dead, I am"

"Is it different? The Talosheim warriors were talking about fighting as daily food, especially Volks. '

"Zhu, the jaws are so surprised ... Lord, pick me up."

"It's hard to believe, but what do Van think?"

Almost all the adventurers encountered were not only Zadiris and Ghoul, who were the enemies who came to hunt themselves, but Princess Levia seemed to think that the adventurers were all fighting people who love fighting.

And while picking up the bone man's jaw, Vandaloo answered.

"The adventurers I know were mothers, Kthias, and Volks ... Kathias are a minority."

After all, if the world is small, it seems that common sense does not grow.

While descending on the 3rd and 4th floors, the Vandaloos checked for monsters and traps to appear.

The interior of the dungeon was basically a forest, although there were differences in conifers, hardwoods, dense forests, and wetlands.

The monsters that appear are mostly plant-based monsters of rank 4 or higher except for the upper floors, followed by insects, amphibian reptiles, animals, and fish in that order.

Many demons have poisons and illnesses, and are likely to be surprised that they have not prepared them in advance. If the capturer is anything other than the undead.

And there are traps. Pitfalls, nets falling from above, vines that catch legs. If you inadvertently walk on a rope that has been stretched, a log with spikes may come in from the side.

In most cases, traps were set up in guerrilla battles, not in archeological sites.

"If you judge by overall difficulty, is it about a C-class dungeon?"

"C-class? Until now, there was only a C-class dungeon in" Volks Sub-Dragon Meadow ".

"Because it was crowded every day. It is not unusual recently that there are more challengers than demons."

"On the other hand, the current D-class dungeon is vacant because there are few people to capture except for masons and hunters.

There are four other dungeons in the vicinity of Talosheim, but only one B-class and one C-class.

"C-class dungeons are crowded!? ... Is these guys monsters?"

Normally, it is unlikely that dungeons of class C or higher will be crowded. This is because the number of adventurers who can get there from the C class or higher will decrease.

In a class D dungeon challenged by a large number of class D adventurers, it is not unusual for the hunting ground to be crowded.

C-class dungeons are crowded because upper-level floors such as the first and second layers, which are often experienced by even D-class adventurers, or the products that can be obtained in the dungeon at some request or the materials of demon that can be defeated are more than usual It's about when it's expensive.

It is no wonder that Luciliano is astonished.

"As expected, two hundred years ago it wasn't that far ..."

"Before Vandaloo came back with Revere, all but me and the kids were like adventurers."

"And I and the Volks undead do not feel tired. You can train in the dungeon like every day, Puyu "

"In addition, I myself train in dungeons, and fish and salt, the ingredients for fish sauce, miso, and soy sauce, can only be taken in dungeons.

Everyone will do their best. ''

As a result, he began to go to dungeons until he was tired of undead and was originally lazy. And as the levels went up, in Tarosheim, the majority of the population had the combat abilities of a Class C adventurer before the arrival of former slave immigrants.

"Besides dungeons, you have to walk half a day from the town to the place where the demons of rank 5 or higher appear. I do not want to leave Jadal too long."

"I think childcare is also hard. But here is in town, can you go a day trip if you are the upper class?

"Afterwards, it's easy to carry out the materials because the exchange is near."

It is a busy conversation between housewives raising children in Basdia, Darussia and Bilde.

"I think the distance to the workplace and the means of transportation are important for working women. When I make a dungeon, I will move closer to the town ... Is it possible to relocate the Valley of the Garang and the Doran Water Feast? "

"It would be useful if you could, but I've never heard of a dungeon relocation."

"Hahahaha, the teacher is too freedom, but who should I talk to?

" It seems that the Lord's disciples have finally realized that they must work in half-life."

After that, I tried to verify my skills as I captured them, and checked if I could use dungeon products and demons.

First of all, [work blood] was simply upward compatible with [blood sucking].

The amount of physical strength and magical power that heals by drinking blood is dramatically higher than that of [blood sucking], the healing of wounds is quicker, and the ability value is also increased by a few percent.

Later, the skill seemed fairly well known, and Luciliano knew the details.

"It's also a skill that shows the depth of the work of drinking a lot of blood so that it changes to a higher skill, and many owners are regularly attacked by a strong blood sucking urge ... The teacher is nervous, is not it? "

Many of the owners are top vampires due to the nature of their skills, and they control humans behind the scenes in order to secure sources of blood.

"I guess you can drink as much as you like if you hunt bloody monsters appropriately."

However, the vampire urge was not a repulsion for Vandaloo. The earth and the origin would have struggled, but lambdas with abundant natural threats can quickly hunt monsters.

In particular, Vandalu, unlike a normal vampire who respects virgin blood, drinks blood regardless of whether it is a middle-age bandit or an orc. There is not much taste preference.

However, the blood of goblin has a strong smell, and the blood of creatures with bad meat feels bad.

"Speaking of which, why is Eleonora and his vampire zombies doing blood? I don't see places that drink too much."

"When we were training in the dungeon with us, we were sucking demonic blood."

"Later, I sometimes drink a little bit of my blood. The vampire zombies are taking it together when eating raw meat?"

"Isn't the undead saying in the country of the people ..."

Luciliano, who was treated as a human being in human society, was appalled by Talosheim that he was a common sense quota and was worried that the two names of [Degenerate] would be lifted.

Next, it was easy to find out how to verify [insect art].

"I'm coming in."

"Is it okay?"

"There seems to be no problem in particular."

A giant earthworm of vivid and poisonous color was halfway into Vandalu's hand. As it is, slowly sink into your hands.

"Well, it's one rank, but wasn't it a pain worm with small venomous needles all over it?"

"It looks like"

"No, why are you fine?"

In front of the slightly voiced Bilde and Kachia, the Painworm completely disappeared into Vandaloo's hands. However, unhealthy white skin, like , has no scars.

"I don't seem to have any problems with my vitality."

"Pyu? Does that mean you ate that bug?

"No, I don't think you've eaten. You'll come out on your own."

The pain worm came out of the opposite hand. Pete jumps out of it and falls to the ground. When Pete jumps out and catches the pain worm, he returns to his hand.

"It's hard to believe, but [insect art] seems to be a skill to equip your body with insects."

"Equip insects ... is something useful? Isn't it possible to hit them with insects?"

"I also solved the mystery of why Pete fits in my hair. It will probably stand in the role. Cemetery Bee, will you put it in me as well?"

When he asks Cemetery Bee, the bees go silently into Vandaloo without any dislike. Although it looks grotesque because it rushes into the head of Vandalu without mercy in terms of size, Vandalu has no particular pain or discomfort.

And, with the Cemetery Bee completely inside the body, Vandaloo was able to control it like a part of the body. It was possible to put only the head out of the hand, or to make only the poison stick appear at the tip of the tongue. Similarly, if consciously ordered, Pete could get in and out of any part of his body.

"I see, you can control any bug-type monsters that you're aiming for.

By the way, what happened? "

Vandalou looked up at all of his disciples, except for his disciples touching their heads.

"No, I just went into my head a lot, so I wonder if it's okay."

`` Lord, the Lord may be fine, but when you look at it by the side, it looks like the Lord is just being eaten by insects.

"... When you use it, try to avoid the public eye.

By the way, Luciliano? "

"I'm fainting there ... but I don't think it's too much."

[Insect art] is a skill to equip insects in the body, and the equipped insects can be freely put in and out of the insects that have been targeted, and it is also possible to put out only a part of the body.

However, if the rabbit is equipped with insects for a long time for a few hours, the nutritionists who need the insects will have to bear the cost as a cost. In other words, you have to eat a lot or reduce your vitality.

It's like that skill.

Following [Death Magic], it will be a good skill for Vandaluo.

"How about entering the town with the bug-type monsters that you have just named and registering with the Tamer Guild?"

"I'm a ghoul, so I don't know about the guild, but it's better to stop it."

"Vandalu, I think it's better to stop my mom. Surely everyone will be surprised

"I'm sorry to be surprised. Luciliano hasn't got up yet."

"Where do the harmless and harmless monsters like Pixie live?"

At least not in this dungeon.

"Is Pixie a bug?

"In the meantime, if there are insect-type monsters that can be used in the future, try to equip them and equip them. It is better to check how much you can enter."

"Um, if you can, make it cute?"

"I will do good"

What is her cute insect? The bee and the hundred feet seem different, is it a dung beetle? He nodded at Katya's request, but he couldn't understand the answer.

And the highlight of this time, [Labyrinth Architecture] skill verification, but this was not immediately visible in full. The more you examine, the more obvious the new skills will become effective.

First, Vandaloo somehow knew the structure of the newly descended hierarchy. The moment you step, a map is created in your head.

Second, Vandaloo was able to change the structure of the hierarchy that he once captured. Only if you have built walls, set up traps, and the lower level has already been captured, you can set up stairs that connect to the upper and lower levels.

"Oh, as you look at the walls of the trees!"

"What can be done to pitfalls and stairs ..."

"I use quite a bit of magic, but for small traps and walls, 10,000, and for stairs, both up and down, about 10 million."

"But is it a cheap thing for a van?"

"Actually it is"

"Wow, Vandaloo. With this, if you make a wall on all sides, you can rest safely in the dungeon. "

Depending on the interior, the dungeon walls may be trees like this dungeon, cliffs, stones, bricks, unidentified metals or creatures of living creatures. Can not do.

It is possible to temporarily cut and destroy the walls of the dungeon, such as the cliffs of the Valley of Garang and the minerals of Doran Suave Cave, but they will return to their original form within a few days at the longest. It is unknown who set the trap, but it has been retried.

Otherwise, advanced dungeons will fall shortly after fighting high-ranking monsters and mighty invaders to defeat them, so it may be natural to have self-healing features.

Conversely, it is more impossible to create walls and set traps. It is sometimes difficult to bring materials into the dungeon, but even if you struggle to install it, the monster will be destroyed or will disappear at any time.

Even in dungeons that are divided into mazes by stone walls, monsters basically do not destroy walls except in the aftermath of battle. However, any walls, etc., artificially installed by the attacker will be destroyed.

Even if the monster is not destroyed, it will be erased in the same way as the damage by the automatic repair function of the dungeon, probably because it is recognized as a foreign object.

Even with Vandalu's [Golem Training] skill, he could mine stones and minerals, but could not change the structure of the dungeon.

However, the walls made with this Labyrinth Architecture are likely to remain as they are because the dungeon itself has changed.

"The demons broke the walls made with [Golem Training], but avoided the walls made with [Labyrinth Architecture]"

"It's really amazing. Your Majesty, if this skill could be used in other dungeons, how much easier everyone's life would be ..."

"No, not so much."

Vandalu, adored and adored by Darussia and Revere. But a bigger discovery came after this.

After all, Vandalou was able to teleport freely to the dungeon hierarchy he and his companions were with.

From the 23rd floor to the first floor. From the first floor to the 17th floor. Whether it's the middle boss or the deepest dungeon boss, he was able to move freely outside the treasure house.

And you can move not only in front of the stairs, which is the entrance to that level. I was able to move to any place where I had captured.

Even dungeons with magical items made by advanced alchemy cannot do this.

"Teleports are interesting"

"The boy is invincible in the dungeon that he captured again."

"Yeah, I think every adventurer in the dungeon wants it."

The materials, the treasures they had obtained, and the monsters that they aimed for were pulled along with Zoro Zoro, and the Vandaloos left the dungeon.

"To possess a spirit that floats around yourself in a monster without a soul ... is it a pseudo-incarnation?"

"Lord, my apprentice is about to blow bubbles now, but shouldn't I have been a little more self-weight?

Luciliano was shaking unnaturally with astonishment and excitement, but Vandaloo thought he was exaggerated.

Subjectively, it was no different from the effort of making a golem or undead. Besides, the demon that is now being dragged was necessary for him.

"Because I want fruits and spices. I can't do my own weight."

The dungeon contained a variety of plant-type monsters, including a large number of ents and monster plants with altered fruit-growing trees.

Wild strawberries, watermelons, chili monster plants, pears, pears, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, coffee, citrus fruits and bananas, mangoes, avocados, or sap syrup.

Some demons produced fruits that Vandaloo did not know. It is unknown if it is on Earth.

"Pyu. Then there's no help. "

The bone man easily followed Vandaloo. He is also looking forward to eating the fruit he sees for the first time. It's a bone but a gourmet guy.

At a later date, the dungeon was named "The King's Orchard."

An unusual researcher-type adventurer. Although it is C class, the actual combat power is D class, and high level magic is specialized in making undead.

The undead he can make is the one that gives corpse magical vitality and moves it, such as the life dead that uses a fresh corpse, and is different from the individuals that Vandaloo makes.

His adventurer qualification expired when he fell into slavery.
