The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

In a room where the beautiful moonlight shines through the window, the vampires of the original species who serve [Evil Evil God], Hihiryshkaka, were gathered.

However, one of the three chairs is empty.

"Well, there's been too much noise these days. Don't you think so, Goubamon?"

"I'm the most fond of being called by the Lord, Vircain."

A young aristocrat, Birkine, and an evil old magician, Goubamon, face each other at a table where three people would normally arrive.

"Don't be so offended. The collections you love don't care if you leave a little bit. Your feet are at stake. "

In the case of Birkine's example, an information leak by the guildmasters of the Nineland magician guild, Kinaps.

According to the information they had, not only the Tenesians who had dealt with Kinnapu, but also those under Vilcain and Goubamon and their co-workers, could not be ignored.

They are deeply rooted in the Amid Empire, but equally as prominent in the Orbaum election.

Virkine have been around for 100,000 years. If you consolidate power in only one country, you have experienced that the damage you receive when that country is destroyed can cause severe burns. In an era where there are two great powers, we reach out behind both great powers.

That's why it is painful that those who have sneaked into the Orbaum kingdom are hunted.

"Where are our feet? Kikiki, are you timid, Vircain? It is unlikely that we could endanger ourselves when the minions and their collaborators were hunted.

If you leave it to the hunt, everyone will be happy. There is no one who can reach us, and even if we are there, we just need to kill them. "

There's a good thing that Goubamon laughs at with his wrinkled face. No matter how much your minions are ridiculed, the darkness they cover is deep. If not fortunate enough, humans are at best able to play with their tails, and never reach their heads.

And even if there are heroes among the heroes among those who have reached, it is only necessary to return them.

If only one party is an A-class adventurer's party, or if an S-class adventurer challenges, or if a party of S-class adventurers and multiple A-class adventurers supporting it comes, the possibility of losing even the original vampire is reasonable. high.

But they are not alone.

Vilkines usually compete with each other, but they have signed a covenant to cooperate against common external threats.

Thanks to that, he escaped when he was attacked by Bellwood, who became a hero god 90,000 years ago, and heroes who were protected by Nine Road, and 5,000 years later, there was a conflict with the original vampire who followed other evil gods He survived and survived the crisis.

And the fact that the [Evil God of Eternal Delight] group has not fallen apart and is still being operated by a colloquium of three original vampires is thanks to that experience.

… In the last 50,000 years, the common threat has not appeared.

So Goubamon's statement is correct. If they work together, they will not lose against all troops in the Orbaum election. Even if [Five-colored blade] is added to it, the result will not change so much if it is a little tough.

Minions will be reduced, but it is only necessary to increase as many as possible. Even the noble vampires are the only viable pieces for Virkine.

Survive and build power in the new darkness. As long as the three original vampires survive, the organization can be rebuilt.

"That's true. No matter how bad it is, it does not pose a danger to ourselves, but will it be troublesome if there are too few subordinates and collaborators? For us who live long, daily moisturization is indispensable. Goubamon "

"HM……"

That being said, Goubamon must also consider moving. Certainly, he is a powerful person, but he alone is not enough to enhance his hobby, "Undead Collection Using the Dead Body of Heroes".

You need lots of eyes and ears to gather information, and moving limbs.

"But what exactly are you going to do? It's already information and it's too late to erase those you know. Even if you let your minions hide behind you ... Are you going to make that into the mastermind of this case?

Vircain, what time does Tenesia come? "

"Oh, Tenesia won't come."

"What the hell !? That little girl, I was so sorry to say that I came out!"

"No, Goubamon. I didn't call Tenesia originally. I called you, you're the only one from the start."

"What? What are you going to do, Birkine. No way ..."

Birkine told Goubamon with a tender expression.

"This is a misstep in Tenesia."

Did Bircain go to Goubamon to give Tenesia to humans? A 100,000 year old ally?

Goubamon was so surprised that the centerpiece was about to spill ... but soon realized the true meaning of Vircain and warped his mouth to laugh.

"I see, you're going to hit and weaken Tennessia by hitting people together, right?"

In pure combat abilities, Tenesia has the highest. However, Vircain had a special trump card. A trump card that can force others to be under control.

It's powerful, but it can be defeated if used against top noble and vampire opponents with high regenerative power in any case against humans. And when you use it, Birkine also needs to do the work, so it's full of gaps.

If you fail in trying to be more than equal, you will be in trouble. Such a trump card.

But, if your equivalent is too weak to resist, isn't it time to pay huge risks and use them to get huge returns?

"This is the responsibility of Tenesia. She should take responsibility."

"Isn't there a way of thinking that it's because the people who leaked the information were the people used by Tenesian minions?"

"Oh, and I did something in the tunnel that connects Tarosheim and the Dukes of Hartner."

"What's that? It's a new ear, but what is it?"

Their evil deity vampires had sent several minions to dig into the Duke of Hartner, bordering the new Amid empire. The focus was particularly on Tenesia, but Vircain and Goubamon also dispatched some men.

"Actually, adventurers called 'Five-colored Blades' who are mainly hunting under the control of Tenesia are doing interesting things. They're looking for Eleonora."

Through his subordinates, the trends of Heinz were transmitted to Birkine.

"Eleonora, then?-Stupid, why are you looking for a traitor in the kingdom that should be beyond the border mountains?

No way ...? When the castle tilts and the seal of the Demon King is broken! Then, is there really a fragment of the Demon King in the hands of the puss! ? "

To the excited Goubamon, Vircain once denied, "No, not at all."

"Because I'm a former owner, I'm sure she knows what she's doing. No matter how she grows in the past year, she'll get caught in a piece of the Demon King. If Eleonora breaks her seal, Would have been rampaging like a beast in Nineland.

The seal has been broken ... Eleonora's current master. "

"Don't you say your master now? That dumpy. You've already come out ... and finally, what about Kinapp?"

"I guess. Eleonora's [Magic Eye of Fascination] has an effect only when the eyes are aligned, so I probably used other means."

There were other major incidents where dungeons broke out in the town of Niak, slave mines became skeleton dens, and the mines themselves were vacated.Birkine and others were also involved in Vandaloo. I suspected that.

But I couldn't guess what the intention was.

People measure others with their own rules. In that sense, Virkines are very human.

I can't imagine that Vandaloo wanted to be an adventurer and went to see the undead's relatives who were only pieces or collections of their own, resulting in a series of incidents. .

Among the original vampires, it was speculated that Vandalu's aim was a fragment of the Demon King, which caused a series of incidents.

Supposedly, he released the pieces of the other demon kings in the southern continent and obtained information in search of other evil gods besides Hihilyshkaka. Perhaps there was a seal we did not know near the slave mine.

And, in fact, did Tenesia know everything? In particular, Vircain even suspects that he may already have access to Vandaluo. The damage is the most under her control, but that also seems fake.

It's a bad idea because I completely plan to trade with Vandalu and bring it to my ally, but if you were 100,000 years ago tied with a family-like bond that divided blood, rabbits are also horns, only with current interests The trust of the original vampires in the relationship is fragile. Once cracked, the rest just spreads and does not stop.

"I see ... it's not in Tennessee that broke the tunnel. If they're up, it makes sense to blame Tenesia for it."

"That's right ... then, let's get into the main subject, Goubamon."

The Duke of Hartner suffered from the recession caused by the occupation of the Duke of Sauron by the Amid Empire, but due to the recent physical crash of the castle due to the `` accident '', huge repair costs or castle rebuilding costs Were worried that would be added to taxes.

Of course, repairing and rebuilding the castle is a public business, so it is also a business opportunity. However, those who work in agriculture or dairy will not benefit from the benefits.

A couple who had managed to make a living in a small field was talking with a sad face at midnight when their only son slept.

"If the tax goes up any more, I have to sell Tom ..."

"Wait, wait, you're still five, and if you sell it, you'll be sent to the mine."

If the age is not suitable for manual labor, boys are overwhelmingly sent to places where they can be used up, such as mines.

It is his wife who stops her husband from hurting her stomach and giving birth, but he does not want to sell his child. He said his face was crumpled.

"But if you don't eat the seeds or squeeze all the goats, you won't be able to survive the winter ... rather than starving to death with the whole family, you have to bet on those who have little hope. I suppose some husband will buy and work for me. "

"Well, rice must be sick ..."

Poor farmers who could not harvest enough rice seem to have decided to sell their sons. However, miracles occur there.

"Wait ... Azan ... If I don't sell that girl ..."

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached the couple's ears. But that voice was what I thought I could never hear.

"She, mother !?"

A husband called Azan opens his eyes and is surprised. There was a figure of his mother who was found in the body the next day this summer when he went to get wild plants.

An uncertain figure that shows through the wall.

"Oh, your stepmom !?"

"Huh, make me a Buddha!"

The spirit of her mother told her son and wife who embraced and hugged that their dead mother had turned into a ghost.

"Don't sell Tom ... or rather, connect the goat in the house outside the barn door. And close the window until the morning sun comes up, and I can't step out of the house. ''

"Goat?"

"Azan, listen to my mother. Okay, and put the paddy outside the barn door. And don't leave home until the sun rises. Then there's a good thing ... because of the grace of Goddess Vida. "

"Vee, Vida ... wasn't she converted to Arda?"

Not answering his son, Azan's mother's spirit was gone, leaving nothing behind. The couple stared at the place where the spirit appeared stunned for a while, but they looked at their faces and nodded each other.

"Your mother-in-law loved Tom."

"Yeah ... it's a goat that's no longer milking soon anyway, so let's believe my mother."

As they were told, the Azans laid bags of seed paddy, tied the goats in front of the barn doors, and waited for the morning.

Then an amazing thing was happening.

"This is ...!"

What a life-size doll made of clay stood where the bag of rice seeds was. If I knew the history of Japan, I would have tilted my head to "Dogu?", But Azan was more concerned.

An unknown wooden club was placed at the foot of the clay figure. Azan smashed the clay figurine with a club.

Then, bags and boxes containing food and treasure came out one after another from Pakan and the cracked clay figurines.

"It's salt, salt is so ...! I have one year's worth! And this is wheat!" This bottle is ... oil and vinegar!

"You're a silver coin !? Gold coins are mixed! It's probably a jewel ..."

The value of the food and treasures in the clay figurines was dozens of times greater than the money that the Azans could get by selling their only son. Rather than having to sell Tom, it's more than easy to buy a new young goat after winter.

"Oh, thank you mother! Thank you, Vida Goddess!"

Vandalu, surrounded by a human-sized clay figure-shaped golem on a meadow full of long grass, slightly away from the village, was hoping for results.

"Goats, rabbits, southern rice seeds, several types of beans not found in Talosheim, fruit seeds and seedlings that are so painful that they don't go to town ... well."

Looking at the pleasures of several farmers, including the Azans, it is not surprising that it would have been better to save a little more, but it would not be a major problem and would be better.

Vandaloo heard from Hannah's Flame Ghost, killed by Kanata, in some of the poor rural areas of the Duke of Hartner, and flew away to gather nearby spirits to secure negotiators. He then approached the poor couple through a spirit that became visible to ordinary people through [visualization].

Although some families ignored the deal, many religious rural people believed in the words of the spirit to get on the deal.

Thanks to this achievement.

There were no farm horses or cattle that could help farming work, but there were some livestock such as goats and rabbits that grew if they were fed by weeds and that dung became fertilizer. Among them, the old class was the one who got the deal, but if it is [younger], there is no problem.

The price paid for the transaction is not a loss in Vandaloo's subjectivity, as it is all that is obtained from the dungeons and the treasures of bandits who have cleared up the streets.

"I'm not in a position to buy livestock and crop seeds normally."

If you are not a farmer or ranch owner, you are very prominent when you try to buy livestock and seeds. So Vandaloo took this step.

`` Kichikitikikitichi ''

"Peat, I can't eat now."

Stopping Pete, aiming for the rabbit with his body halfway out of his head, said Vandalou.

"Because I've increased it ... simmering rabbit meat with tomatoes ... with goat cheese ..."

Rabbits who are afraid and unable to move toward Vandaloo who is not Pete and do not hide his appetite are housed in the hollow body by the clay figure golems.

"Now, let's move to the dungeon we made yesterday. I want some goats later."

Vandaloo left the meadow with a clay figure golem, which was convenient for carrying luggage.

And the same was repeated in several villages. This led to the introduction of various livestock in Tarosheim.

In addition, the religion of the goddess Vida became popular mainly in the village of Duke Hartner, and at the harvest festival, believers provided the dolls of the earth with the grown crops, and on the next day everyone destroyed the dolls and protected the debris at home. It is said that customs to take home have spread.

Heins and others [the five-colored blade] were sighing after an unsuccessful investigation.

"After all, it doesn't go well."

"It's absolutely. Where did it go? ... It's superstition that vampires can become fog, right?"

"It's almost superstition. In the past, there seemed to be vampires with such unique skills."

Heinz and his colleagues follow Eleonora, defeating vampires who may have known her information and interrogating them, but with no consequences.

There have been no traces of Eleonora since sighting in Nineland. The vampires, whom the Heinz hunted on the basis of Kinap's information, knew that Eleonora was a traitor, but did not know where or what he was currently doing.

On the contrary, I was surprised why Heinz was looking for Eleonora.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult for them to catch top vampires like Chiplus, so only the lower end can be interrogated as a result. [Medium medium] In search of the owner of the job, I tried to hear from the spirit, but for some reason the vampire's spirit could not be demoted by any medium.

Limited information has shown that the vampires have been ordered to report if they see them, rather than looking for Eleonora, and that her master is more important than herself. Was.

Instead of getting information on Eleonora from the vampires, the Heinzs were instead telling Vircain that Eleonora had appeared in the Duke of Hartner, because the Tenesians restricted the information to the bottom.

He continued to search without realizing it, but did not get any clues.

"It's a weird story. No matter how precious vampires can fly, they can't fly all day. Why aren't there clues?"

As Jennifer says, neither Eleonora nor Vandaloo have descended into their search area outside of the royal capital and the town of Niak, so it's no wonder they don't find any clues.

If the Heinz had visited the reclamation village in the south, they might have been able to know Vandalu and connect with Eleonora, but when the incident of the slave mine was known they were around Nineland and had the opportunity to visit I was not blessed.

"Well, I couldn't get the clue of the culprit who unlocked the essential hero's seal and freed the Demon King's shard, but it's not wasteful, both as an adventurer and to protect Selenium."

The number of vampires defeated by The Five Colored Blades is well over a hundred, including subordinate species. Thanks to him, he was recognized as a saint by the temple of Arda.

The bounty from the adventurer's guild and the loot from the vampires are quite warm. Especially in Heinz, the promotion to the S-class has become a reality.

And if vampires are reduced, the lower the number, the safer the selenium Dumpel girl protected by Heinz.

So it's not a complete waste, but ...

"We should change the way we investigate. That lack of clues seems to mean we're overlooking something."

And while discussing future investigations at the adventurer's guild, he also read reports that had already been suppressed and investigated the site, but plans to go to the site of the slave mine with his own eyes, others who have already been confirmed A plan to check the seal of the hero was issued.

However, I did not notice that such a conversation was taking place behind them. You may have noticed and been interested, but you probably thought it had nothing to do with what you were investigating.

"Did you hear that it was also a village of Yoda, the goddess' clay doll?"

"What is a clay doll? A dead parent or brother's spirit comes out, and when you supply old livestock and seeds to the outside in the evening, a clay doll stands in the morning instead. And you have food and money inside? "

"Yes, that's what I really want to do. I guess it won't come to us?"

"... you are your parents and brothers?"

"Oh, everyone was alive. Both grandpa and grandma are pinning."

"I don't think you'll come. You're a shoemaker in the first place. What do you offer?"

"Is that so too?"

"Huh, I'm swinging again. When I go to exterminate bandits, all the bandits have been killed by monsters and my treasure is gone."

"Whether you were a crush or a revenge by someone before, they were all cut off their throats. That's a professional job."

"Is that too? We were too empty. Well, prey is ghoul, not bandits."

"The poison of the nails turns into a medicine, and the mane of the male becomes a good material lately and the purchase price is rising ... I'm not finding it recently."

"Is there anybody hired by a slaver? It seems that females can sell high if they train."

"What about those guys? They killed males and took magic stones. But there were no male corpses left in the settlement."

"... Well, don't you smell something? The smell of conspiracy. Surely, many recent incidents are connected behind the scenes. I know."

"Roger, are you already drinking? Please moderate the conspiracy Ueto."

In fact, as the adventurer named Roger says, it's all the work of Vandaloo.

Goddess' clay doll case is natural, but many bandit destruction cases are to be used as training tables for [martial arts] skills by himself, in order for Vandaloo to obtain baum coins as a trading material in addition to the clay doll case , Is the prey of Pete's experience gain.

The bandits that the adventurer's guild embarks on defeat are disappearing one after another, as the evil bandits who have killed more often can be found in the spirits.

And the ghouls are disappearing one after another from the magical area of the Duke of Hartner, Aria who was a receptionist of the guild burned and killed in Kanata, and a magical area where ghoul lives from Luciliano who was active as an adventurer Vandalu, who heard about the place, was soliciting, "Would you like to come to our country?"

It began because the ghouls were hunted by the adventurers of the Dukes of Hartner, but the ghouls prone to kneel down just looking at Vandalu.

Apparently, the ghouls look at Vandalu and feel as if God had descended.

It seems that two names, [Gul King] and [Vida's Son], are working on [Enchanting Death Attributes], which is leveling up.

All you have to do is use the tricks from the tiny dungeon created inside the Makai to take you to Tarosheim. The head of the group and Vigaro battling each other or performing a magical comparison with Zadiris, and after deciding which is the superior, they will follow not only Vandalu, but they will be fine even after immigration.

Many of the ghouls didn't even know that their race was a new race of Vida, and were surprised throughout the day after they knew the truth.

It seems that the problem is that it is isolated from the outside in a state where it is divided at each demon boundary.

By the way, there is no settlement of another new Vida tribe in the Duke of Hartner. Although it seems to be in the former Sauron territory, the security of the border seems to be severe now, so when it loosened, Vandalou planned to infiltrate the old Sauron territory to obtain rice seeds.

Thus, as he told the Kasims, Vandalu obtained livestock and crops, the "necessities of life," and went on to visit the ghouls of a new tribe of Vida, the "distant relative of his mother."

By the way, Heinz and his colleagues learned that dungeons in the Duke of Hartner had recently discovered strange dungeons, but they also found a series of small E-class objects.

Although not a departure, all of these dungeons were created by Vandaloo as a means of transportation with [labyrinth construction] skills, and all discovered objects are left unused after being used, and almost empty swings are decided.

Only Vandaloo can transfer from one dungeon to another.

By the end of the winter, Vandaloo headed to the reclamation village to see if he could go over the winter.

"Is the equipment loaded?"

"No problem!"

"Okay, let's go!"

On a horse, Kalkan left the town of Niaki with his squadron, Froth, and two carriages.

First head north, then turn south on the highway.

Then he falsified his destination and headed to the reclamation village in the south to attack as a bandit.
