The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 99: Changing Signs and the General Soldier
In celebration of Sam and Knochen's rank-up, Vandaloo, who was dancing in a circle with the skeletons that Knochen manipulated, was being carried by a flock of flying Cemetery Bee.
"I want to eat breakfast soon."
Vuvuvuvuvuvuv.
He seems to be in a hurry, and Cemetery Bee is hungry.
Although Vandaloo can understand the intention of the insects that have timed to some extent, he cannot always communicate perfectly. It is possible if assimilated using the spirit body.
"The Queen is calling you"
"Calling the Queen"
I only know what she is called by the queen bee.
Only bee monsters think that each worker bee is too simple to speak.
By the way, Sam and Knochen waved their hands and said, "Welcome!"
I was hungry, and when I was eating leafy vegetables grown from my arms with [planting] skills, I arrived at Cemetery Bee's nest, which seemed to have grown larger.
Vuvuvuvuvuv.
Immediately, a Cemetery Bee Soldier nearly three times the size of a worker bee ... A soldier bee flies.
Cemetery Bee has a normal bee and ant-like ecology, but experience and levels are not shared by the entire flock. So even if you hunt an enemy, only one bee gains experience value.
The rank-up of the worker bee to a soldier bee, Cemetary Bee, occasionally leaves Vandalu and defends his nest. It seems instinctual, so it can't be helped.
It is understandable that the defense of the nest and the queen is the highest priority for bees, so Vandaloo also equips his body only with worker bees with [insect art].
The problem is--.
"That's why you shouldn't live with it."
The soldier bees hold caterpillar dumplings on their forefoot.
Vandaloo doesn't hesitate to eat worms, but he doesn't like life.
I was hesitant to use fire in the nest, so I ended up receiving the caterpillar dumplings without eating.
"What about making your hair dreadlocks?"
Darucia blinked his eyes as he uttered what he thought.
"Vandalu, mothers don't know where to go, so I don't know what face to look at."
"This is my hairstyle."
To this age's mother Darussia, who was killed by the burning of torture and turned into a spirit dwelling in a few bone fragments, Vandaloo shows her hairstyle as dreadlocks with [filtration]. Originally there was a lot of hair, so it would look good with dreadlocks.
The hair is comfortable and the hair around the ears and the sharp ears are comfortable. Vandalou thought that he would use this hairstyle until autumn was near.
"Wow, it's like a really white caterpillar. Does dread mean caterpillar in the earth's language?
"... maybe different."
I had the feeling that a misleading misunderstanding was likely to spread, and Vandalou quickly returned her hair.
In doing so, a queen bee of Cemetery Bee, much larger than a soldier bee, brought her bees around.
The situation doesn't seem so impatient that Vandaloo needs to be called in a hurry.
Vuvuvuvuvuvuvuvuvuv.
"Kirigichi Gigi"
A queen bee that spins its wings and dances around its chin and exoskeleton.
"I see. So?"
Vandaloo nods and encourages him to continue.
Dalcia, who saw the conversation repeated several times, muttered with horror.
"I don't know why. Well, what should I do for my mother! ?
I don't know what my son and his friends are talking about. What should I do?
Perhaps it's not uncommon for parents raising children, but what are the answers if your friends are giant insects?
"She says she wants to be reborn with new eggs to lay now to evolve more."
Answer, ask your son for an interpreter.
"Was it so. But why not rank up? Is there still a lifetime?
All demons in Lambda gain experience and reach level 100, and can be upgraded if they meet the conditions.
So of course, Cemetery Bee Queen should be able to rank up. And yet, is there any reason to ask Vandaloo for a simulated reincarnation before giving up the rest of his life?
"I heard that, but he got [guidance]."
"Maybe it's [Guru]?
Vandalu nodded to the astonishing Darussia, saying, "I don't remember that."
With Sam and Knochen affected immediately, it is no wonder that Cemetery Bee was affected.
However, it is strange that Bandarou, who led them, had no awareness.
In legends and heroic tales, [Guide] Those who have experienced such events as heroes who have gotten jobs, teaching skills, preaching the way of people, checking friendship and bonds, crossing the dead line together, etc. It is said that the effect of [guidance] skill is that the person grows rapidly.
In the case of Vandaloo, the first day was just a banquet.
"If everyone goes up in this way, we could have a banquet every day for a while."
Vuvuvuvuv
"Eh, dream?-I saw it unusually."
"Oh, I was saying I would never dream. What dreams did you have?
"I'm walking alone in a dark place and I'm lonely.
Riding around the star-free night sky with a vandaloo, you will be guided to a reliable fortress, and many more.
When I remember again, it might have been Sam or Knochen.
"I'm glad I had a good dream."
Darussia smiles at his son, but the result is the birth of Nightmare Carriage and Bornfort. It would be a nightmare rather than a smile, given the view of the Temple of Arda, which is hostile to the undead, and the adventurer's guild, who will be rushed out on bequests.
"Once I lead, I can't help stopping the one who responded. I'll do what I want."
"Gee!"
The queen beeped happily and laid down an egg on both palms offered by Vandaloo.
"Then let's meet again"
And pull out the soul of the queen bee. I thought it would be difficult to pull the soul out of the living body, but either because of the Queen Bee's consent, or this was also an effect of Guidance: Mage, and I was able to slip out.
The queen bee's soul dwells in an egg that is almost the size of a human baby, resembling a white translucent rice grain, and the body of the queen bee that has lived before falls to the ground.
"By the way, Vandalu, who takes care of the eggs?
"It's Cemetery Bee ... that?"
Suddenly, the other Cemetery Bees returned to their daily work.
After stopping the spoilage of the queen bee with [keeping fresh], Vandaloo decided to raise it with eggs.
"No way to raise my second child so quickly"
By the way, the first time was Pauvina.
But Pauvina, Jadal, Verbi and Lapiesage seem dissatisfied.
"I'm not asking you to do that."
"I'm sorry"
"I want you to do it"
"Wow wow"
Pauvina, now five years old, is already as tall as a human. Even if the size is ignored, it looks like an eight-year-old child. Girls aren't growing fast ... it's the blood of the Noble Oak, which can grow up to three meters when grown up faster than the race.
Birde's daughter, Vabi, and Basdia's daughter, Jadar, are five and four years old, respectively, and Lapiesage remains the same. Naturally because it's a patchwork zombie.
What they mean by "the wind" was to stretch their tongue and lick the licking eggs of the beeper and the queen bee.
"... This just keeps the eggs from getting moldy."
Vandaloo, who for the time being imitated what the insects were doing when caring for the eggs, was very confused by the appeals of Pauliners.
"Then, I lick it so that mold doesn't grow!"
"No, you're taking a bath. You can't grow without licking."
"Well, lick it!"
"It's so funny"
[Body expansion and contraction] The appearance of Vandaloo's tongue swelling up to about 4 meters with skill seems to be interesting for them to see. It may be the same as cats like cats.
I'm worried if I should be smiling as a child.
"Ah?
"No, you really don't need Lapiesage."
Vandalou looks up at Lapiesage, saying that he would be misunderstood from around.
Lapiesage with a pterosaur wing on the back and a snake tail with a cemetery venom needle on the waist, and the elbows and knees are replaced by an auger object, respectively, but the body is a sensual woman The face is that of a beautiful woman who has left her childhood.
It is natural to hesitate to lick her.
It is this Talosheim that is not an excuse for being undead or having seams all over the body.
"I'm sorry during the talk, but is it okay my husband?"
Belmond, who had been told to come to a private cellar in Vandalu under the Royal Castle, for some reason, was not upset when he saw his master, who was taking care of a giant bug egg surrounded by a younger group.
For Belmond, this seems to be acceptable. No, maybe it's because there's something more interesting in the immediate vicinity.
"Oh, Belmond, it ’s hard. I ’m going to see your surgery plan today.”
"Belmond!"
"Hello!"
"Hello, young ladies.
So my husband, what's that surgery plan? "
Belmond's gaze at "that" is that of a life-dead former master, Tennessia, placed next to a capsule immersed in a mysterious liquid.
It resembled a white stone female mannequin. With elaborate construction, there is no face but limbs seem to move at any moment.
It is the same height as Belmond, has the same length of limbs, and the bulge and waist around it look almost the same as the Tennessee life dead.
"Yes"
In particular, Belmond suppressed his heart, as Vandalou nodded that there was nothing to look back.
"... husband, what are you going to do to make me that over-colored body?"
"No, it's just difficult to mold the breasts, so I'm just trying to stick them together."
"I'm my husband's servant. My body is fiddled with fun and I am prepared to accept it as fate-
"I don't hear well. I'm confident in the level of welfare."
"I understand. Please leave it to my husband."
He seemed to be convinced in the end, but Vandalou thought that this was likely to be said in many cases when putting on the tail.
However, there seems to be no serious dislike. On the contrary, she looks happy.
"Van, are only vampires like Eleonora?"
"……No Comment"
Pauvina was seriously asked, but refused. I think it's different, but maybe ... I couldn't deny myself thinking like that.
`` Vandaloo, you're going to hurt the girl before marriage, so you have to take responsibility ''
"Um, Darussia, wouldn't it be that her Majesty couldn't operate on a woman?
"No, not until blame ..."
Belmond stalks Princess Levia and Darussia to see if a little evil has passed. In fact, she was looking forward to receiving surgery from Vendaloo.
I didn't hesitate, but I was more than happy to receive anything from Vandalu.
Like that dream.
"I'm glad if you don't make it so vulgar."
The former Belmond master, Tennessee, was a beautiful woman in her eyes. But the beauty was not of an elegant nature.
Most of it is caused by his behavior and his usual appearance, but he always looks like a prostitute. … I don't care about it, not to mention others, so that impression didn't last long.
"I'll do it well, but I think it's OK."
In fact, the impression of Vandalu, which is just a few minutes face-to-face with Tenesia, is faint, but I thought it would not be vulgar if the whole under Belmond's neck was replaced with her.
"Is Belmond becoming a whip?"
"What kind of kinnik do you like King?"
"I think it will be whip, but we won't be transplanting muscles. We already have enough."
"I'm too heavy ... if my fingers and tongue move freely, I'm fine."
"How is it?
"Well, it's going to be the kind of splicing ..."
Verbi innocently compares himself with the model after the operation, and Belmond smiles bitterly at the Lapiesage, tilting his head to "friends?" I noticed a person.
"By the way, what is he doing?"
"Luciliano? He's researching meat chunks."
A mysterious flesh with cramps and bones that has no bones or internal organs, as a result of trying to revive Darussia with a resuscitation device that has become imperfectly moving.
When the same mass of meat was attached to each other, it changed into a larger mass of meat by fusing, but the mass remained unchanged no matter what time passed.
There was no change even if Vandalu gave [Demon King's Blood] as a trial.
However, it seems that the movement has started to increase this morning.
"Maybe it's a birth of a new life."
"A new life?"
At the gaze of Vandaloo and Belmondo, there was a chunk of meat wriggling in a device resembling a huge pot placed in front of Luciliano.
The meat mass that has changed like a muddy meat soup swells and bulges as if it were boiled, and a fluffy projection similar to human hands and a snake's head grows from its surface, and it collapses when it extends to some extent Return to
This was repeated.
"I look like a dead suffered by being boiled in a hell kiln."
"It's strange, I am too."
"Sometimes things come out like people's heads ... but I feel like the outline looks like me. What if my head grows a lot? "
Apparently, it was no objection that it was not a "birth of a new life" but a figure of a deceased crawling out of hell.
At this time, Vandaloo still can't see the status, and even if he uses the magic of [Appraisal], it only shows up as "mysterious wriggling meat mass", so it's still delicate whether it is a living thing.
"Her Majesty, why can he survive in the first place? I still have bones, but I have no internal organs
"I was cooking rice sometimes."
"If you raise the meat, you will be happy to eat it!"
It seems that Pauvina and Jadal were feeding.
"Eat"
He seems to eat rice even though he has only meat and no mouth and stomach until Vandaloo gives blood. Probably the mechanism is the same as eating a single-celled organism.
It's extremely dangerous if your habit is to take in the things you touch without care. Enclosures should be made around the children so that they do not accidentally fall.
"But they don't eat vegetables."
"If a frog stays alive, it's terrible. If you like or dislike it and get scolded it won't grow up, it won't listen."
"I see, I don't seem to eat creatures."
There is no ear or head to listen to the sermon, but it may be surprisingly safe. You may simply have hated frogs, so check later to see if you eat live rats, fish, or the undead.
"I'm being fed to children. And frogs ... "
Dalcia was a little swayed by the fact that his chunk of meat, which was her failure, was being fed.
"Okay mother, frogs are delicious."
But despite Luciliano's enthusiastic research expectations, the flesh was not yet a new creature.
"It seems that there is still not enough to be a creature, whether a monster or a person."
When Luciliano concludes, he reverts the meat chunk's study to the original follow-up.
At the end of September, when it was time to cool down, the road connecting the southern Onuma swamp to Tarosheim was completed. Since it is necessary to transport dairy products, fish, lotus root, etc. in the future, open the forest of giant fern plants in between using human naval tactics, squeeze the ground, lay a stone pavement made with [Golem training] made.
In the event of an emergency, cobblestones stand up to deal with the danger, and even if it breaks somewhat, it is a maintenance-free road that absorbs debris and regenerates itself.
There is no worry about bandits, but it is a highway that crosses the magical area where dangerous monsters appear more than bandits, so that kind of equipment is necessary.
Of course, as early as the monsters in the southern forest have been greatly reduced in number, ten or more years later, ordinary roads may be sufficient.
This is what Vandalou has done after completing the necessary work for post-processing and future development of the cream expedition. that is…….
"Now we're about to launch a general soldier campaign
It was training to gather non-combatants in Talosheim.
"As I explained earlier, the meaning of this campaign is to say," I want all the people to have enough fighting power to kill only one ordinary soldier. "
"The meaning is different from all the soldiers I know."
Former adventurer's guild branch staff is a non-regular employee, a receptionist at the current exchange, and a muttering of Fina's lover Lina, but Vandaloo continues to care.
"As you know, Talosheim is surrounded by magical boundaries, and the Milg Shield and the Amid Empire may be attacking. I want a little training in preparation for that."
"I heard that ... but we don't get too strong when we level up."
As Ivan, who has more family members and is working vigorously as a mason again, says that the average level of ordinary people who are in production jobs does not increase very much even if they raise their level. This is because production jobs are largely devoted to correcting production skills.
In addition, those who are engaged in production jobs also have less experience points in battle training and demon elimination than those who are engaged in battle jobs such as [Warriors] and [Magicians]. Just as it's strange that a warrior upgrades as a mason trains, a mason doesn't level up as much in exterminating demons.
"Yes, I know, so you get the skills."
That's why Vandalu focuses on skills, not abilities. Unlike Lambda, this Lambda has a skill system that is useful.
And once you have acquired the skills, there is basically no loss. If you don't use it for too long, your intuition may be dull and your body may be dull, but regular training will keep you usable to some extent.
"I see, let's take one level of skill for now."
Cain, a huntsman who has flew on the back of Vandaloo, a former villager of the fifth reclamation village, has three levels of [bowing] skills, so he is not the trainee but the supervisor.
As he said, there are many other governments besides Vandaloo to train the general public to have poor spears, bows and arrows, and only one level of skill.
An average person with one level of combat skills will be able to protect himself to some extent when attacked by bandits. Also, when a monster enters the village, if it hits in total, it can be turned away if it is about one rank 3 monster.
You can also enter a normal wilderness mountain that is not an evil spirit, collect nature's bounty, hunt beasts for food, tan your fur and earn cash income.
This gives the government a variety of benefits, including reducing the number of resident soldiers.
Of course, it is a problem if you are revolted or if the villagers become bandits because of their poorness, but if you are not confident that you will not cause it, you will not train from the beginning.
In the case of Vandaloo, the goal is purely to improve the national defense.
"No, it's about 2 levels because I can't understand 1 level. Of course, it would be helpful if you could use martial arts."
"Isn't the level you want a little higher?"
By the way, the combat system skill level 2 is the [Swordsmanship] skill level of Festa when he first met Vandaloo.
Although it is an apprenticeship, it is a level where a boy who decides to eat on the way has studied at an adventure school for about a year and has gained experience with goblins every day.
"But if your skill level is 2 and you can't use martial arts, you won't be able to gain time with this magical monster opponent."
However, what Vandalou says is also possible. He didn't expect Cain to enter through the overly-lined Talosheim walls, but he couldn't refute if he said, "Everything can be unexpected."
"But two levels, do we have to do hell spartan training now?"
"Okay, we have a skilled instructor."
In a few days, there is no skill correction, but two levels are not possible. In front of Lina who strengthens her face, Vandaloo arranges instructors prepared.
The instructors who appeared with a rattling noise were armor that Lina and Ivan were familiar with.
Yes, only armor.
"This is a living armor that uses people from the former Red Wolf Knights. You will wear this living armor and learn while experiencing combat skills."
Train in undead with spirits in armor.
Lina and his colleagues stiffened at Vandaloo trying to implement a new training method.
"Let's start training soon! I have to get to the second level of skill quickly and return to the job of machining Van's horns."
Talea, who had been trained with Lina and others, was quick to find an instructor to wear, with all those who were stiff.
Skill explanation, [guidance: mage]
Skills that lead people who want to walk, roads that don't want to walk, and those who walk on such roads.
Those who benefit from this skill will move away from the right path instead of being encouraged to mutate, rank up, or grow.
It's not evil, but just becomes a "different" being before good and evil.
From the point of view of a normal person, the owner of this skill and the ones guided by the owner will feel terrible, feel repellent, and their walking appearance will look like a hyakuki nocturnal.
[Reinforcement of kin] is a skill that has been changed due to the job of [Mage], and the effect of [enhancement of kin] has been further enhanced.
Skill commentary, [Magi attraction]
Attract those who are already on the mage or who have stepped on. A skill that invites you to the mage, even if you are on the right path.
It is a so-called magical nature, and beings who are fascinated become addicted to the owner of this skill as if they were addicted.
[Enchantment of Death Attribute] The skill that has changed when you enter the [Mage] job. The range of effect of the skill expands more, and it becomes difficult to resist once it is affected.
Skill commentary, [Abyss]
A unique skill that indicates that you are not the peer but the peer.
The owner of this skill does not have to worry about becoming a monster when fighting a monster. Because it's a concern that there should be a fighting owner of this skill.
