The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Vandaloo was digging out Olbia's corpse in a swamp they were using as graveyards, led by Scylla's guards at night.

"Wandering spirits!"

He casts an appropriate spell like that, but the one who actually dug the corpse was a mad golem made from swamp mud with the Golem Training skill.

"As if the mud in the swamp is alive ...!"

"I can do something like this.

The guard scyla breathes in as the mud of the swamp wriggles and a muddy corpse comes out. I heard that here too, [Pharmacy] is unusual and seems to have been there in the past, but it seems that [Pharmacy] has not been out of Scylla for the past millennium. Therefore, there is no Tsukkomi who says "No, it is different."

The good news is that Vandaloo, who falsified his use of an unknown skill, has begun autopsy of the corpse of Olbia. Nevertheless, it is a corpse that has been sunk for a few days after it has been sunk in a muddy, a funeral of the Syuras, and since she was buried, her residual thoughts have diminished and she is rarely seen. ... Even if DNA or fingerprints remain, there is no technology to detect or collate, so we do not expect any evidence from them.

However, the condition of the excavated Olbia corpse itself was good. Corruption appears to be under control and remains in the same state as when it was sunk. I think there were cases where corpses stored in mud on the earth were found in mummy form, but it may be similar.

"This is badly done."

I just took the cloth that was rolled up, and the corpse looked terrible. The body is full of cuts, especially the chest and lower body. The breasts were both left and right shredded, not in their original form, and all lower body tentacles were severed.

In addition, the branding of Alda's holy seal stamped on the body.

"In this state, he was tied to the trunk of a tree growing near the swamp and was exposed. Most of the cut off parts could not be found or taken to the beast. Fortunately, I was somewhat bitten ...

Breasts are an important part of the symbol of life for women who worship Vida, and their lower tentacles are a symbol of Melebebeil, Scylla, who became a god during mythological times.

In other words, the perpetrators are intentionally doing the destruction that damages the dignity of Scylla.

The burnt-in Alda's holy sign, and the arrow stuck in the corpse, appear to have been used by the Amid Empire subdue army.

(If it's a criminal on Earth, it's so suspicious that there is too much evidence ...)

This is obviously a murder for show or provocation. If the culprit does not intend to hide his identity, he does not need to worry that the evidence is too large.

"How do you understand something?"

"Well, let's do it."

Touch the corpse and scan the inside with the ghost body extended from that part by [ghosting].

(No fatal injury to the skull. The wounds do not hurt the vital organs ... Is any of the cuts the cause of death?)

Surprisingly, the cause of death is not clear. Life reaction ... I wish we had known whether he was hurt before or after his death.

"How is it? Do you know something?"

"We were honestly relieved to see Olbia you met, because we thought she was going to be in such a bad situation alive.

But I was relieved to see the same energetic Olbia as she was alive ... "

Various guard scylla talk to Vandalu, who remains silent. I was a little distracted, but I realized suddenly.

"Speaking of which, Olbia did not remember when she was killed ..."

At first I thought it was just a shock that made me remember, but it was too hard to remember. Even if you forget it due to a mental shock, the unnatural behavior appears such as distortion of the spirit body or fear of something, but she does not have it at all.

The experience of observing living humans is still a few years, but the experience of observing the dead is about thirty years of Vandaloo, including his second life. no doubt.

Then Olbia doesn't forget her mental killing, she doesn't really remember when she was killed.

The first thing you can think of is that your head is attacked and your consciousness is reaped in an instant, but you already know that there are no deep scars on your skull or brain.

(In addition, the heart, intact, cervical vertebra, intact. The other internal organs are somewhat injured, but they are organs that do not die instantly. The lower body has nerves and muscles, but it is at the base of the tentacles There are no internal organs other than those that seem to be sub-brain.

Well, I can't find it because I don't know Scylla's ecology? )

"I'm sorry, just touch my head and stay still for a while."

"In your head?

"Should I stay still?"

The two guards, Syura, who seemed a little confused, put their hands on Vandalu's head, as said.

"Yes, just as it is. You may feel sick, but be patient."

"What?

"What, what's coming in?"

Then, the ghosts are intruded into the body of the guard Syura from where they are touching.

They will work together to find out the physiology of Scylla, which differs in shape from humans on Earth and Lambda more than ghouls or beasts.

(The upper body is still close to the basic homo sapiens, and the work of the internal organs is also the same, except that the formation of the lungs has changed. Is the right sister's stomach rough?

While providing a little service to the writhing scylla, he quickly learns the physiology of life, but finds no clue to the cause of Olbia's death.

Examining Olbia's corpse again, he noticed one unnatural wound.

"finger?"

Olbia had a small wound on her left ring finger as if by a needle.

A small and shallow wound ... before Olbia died, she had received a ring from her secret lover.

"To be on the safe side……"

Read the remaining thoughts left in the corpse. Perhaps I was so glad there was a clear image, even though it was not preserved with curse ice or magic.

An image of your own hand with a ring on the left ring finger.

The secret lover's appearance was unclear and could not be seen, but it turned out that the bangs were characteristic.

"I can't say anything unless I look at the ring of evidence ... I feel like a truth that seems to be regurgitating is waiting."

Olbia's lover who passed the ring is suspicious. There is a strong suspicion of poisoning her by poisoning her ring.

However, the poison has not been found in Olbia's corpse because it has passed too long. It is not clear whether the ring of evidence has been crafted from the video of the residual thought alone.

Perhaps Olbia's lover is innocent, and the wound on her finger just accidentally stuck that day. The cause of her death is not that the homicide who was hiding fired an arrow sewn with a quick-acting poison.

I'm worried about telling Olbia at this point.

"I wonder what you did"

"Wow, what did you do? I feel like my stomach is warm ..."

"Is it over? Is it over?"

Immediately after sighing, Vandalu noticed that two guards, Scylla, had fallen behind himself and dropped in.

Kurt Legston from the Milg Shield, headed by the commander of a fort bordering the boundaries of the Scylla autonomous region, is depressing and has heard reports from Captain Murdoch Zett, who has been staying for a while. Was.

"In other words, are you trying to escape the Resistance on purpose and swim, and continue your strategy to find the hideout?"

"That's right."

To Kurt, the third son of the Earl of Regston (now the eldest son, and now the split family of his own), Murdock is polite in words only, and his expression is disgusting to look at. answered.

A dexterous man. In fact, they'll do their jobs too.

"The target's resistance is less proficient, and figuring out the hideout will probably destroy it in a matter of days."

Murdoch is the commander of the anti-resistance suppression unit appointed by the Occupation Command. The occupation forces are staying at the fort to defeat the burning Sauron Resistance organization.

Although Kurt's parenthood and military rank are higher, Murdoch looked down on him for some reason. And while Kurt is uncomfortable, he gives up that it's not too bad.

Because Murdoch is expected to be active from the upper army, he is the captain of a flower squad that has already destroyed several resistance organizations.

Kurt, on the other hand, is the third but relegated commander of the Legston family, a former military lord of the Milg Shield.

An expedition to the border mountain range, which ended in great failure. To the one whose older brother Cesare did not return-at least fortunately considering that more than half of the expeditionary forces came back undead-Kurt himself became a member of the expeditionary force I wasn't involved.

So, ostensibly there was no disposition. However, again due to solidarity and tightening against other soldiers, Kurt decided to leave his country and relocate to this less important small fort.

Before the election of the Orbaum kingdom, a governor at that time, who was not a Duke but a kingdom of Sauron at the time, said, `` I have granted the Syura autonomy, but let's build it at the fort as a sekisho just in case. '' This fort was built for that reason.

Unless the Scura rebels attempt a reckless rebellion, their military value is equal to nothing.

The rebellion is unlikely to happen, as negotiations are underway among the aristocrats of the Amid Empire.

In other words, Kurt is about the size of a guard who is placed just in case.

However, I received a letter from my home country, Military Palpapec, saying, "I want you to think that it is a holiday and endure it until the temperature cools down." ….

(Military Lord, I don't need a vacation to spend with such an unpleasant man)

I feel like Kurt wants to change jobs because she can be a graduate from the front line right now, but she can't afford to take that attitude.

"But no matter how many of these people are captured, it would be meaningless without capturing the new Sauron Army and the Sauron Liberation Front?"

However, an extra word came out of my mouth. Murdoch, however, goes deeper than a grinning smile.

"Certainly, the new Sauron Army's commander, Paris's secret daughter of the Duke of Sauron, and his brother's deputy commander, Rick. Capturing the Princess Knight of the Sauron Liberation Front would be a great Venus.

But the important thing is to tell this Sauronian herb that the Resistance has been captured one after another by our occupying forces. ''

This lessens the public's expectations of resistance and lessens the rebellion.

Teach them that it's better to be calm and graceful than to useless rebellion.

"And there's information that the main resistance organizations have recently gathered here. Perhaps Scylla wouldn't want to give up our negotiations with the Empire.

It will only be a matter of time for our troops to seize and execute the Duke's secretary and princess knight. ''

Kurt wants to see him as Gahun, as Murdoch insists on narcissism.

"It's fine, but now it's an important time for negotiations to come to an end. Regardless of how much you want to defeat the resistance, please give due consideration to the Syura Autonomous Region."

Kurt, originally from the aristocracy of the Milg Shield, a member of the Amid Empire, is an Aldaite. But before being a member of Arda, he was a soldier. The command of the upper management is absolute.

Having determined that the senior management will engage in the negotiations, not a decisive battle, against the Syuras, there is no objection to following them. It is out of the question to get in the way.

It was concerned that Murdoch's squad would make a fancy move near the Syura borough, and that they would be confused at the bargaining table as being interpreted as a threat from the Occupation Army.

Of course, Murdoch, a member of the occupying army, was just supposed to know that he wouldn't know about negotiations with the Scula.

"Oh my god, the Milg shield country soldier, who is known for his strength, is on the other side of the octopus girl?"

But that's what came back. An octopus girl is a terrible insult to the Syura.

This isn't a good word for a soldier in negotiations to speak while on duty.

"Mr. Murdoch, please be careful."

I don't know what values Murdoch has and what he thinks about Scylla, but if he does something, Kurt and his men will get a great deal. Again, Murdoch only heard, "I'm not worried."

"If the negotiations break down and the Scuras come out of the autonomous region and attack, the occupying troops can win. But what if I get angry in the middle and do it at Kagojo? Why don't you put a reins on a mad dog who only thinks about raising it? ''

Kurt, who should be younger than Murdoch, had a bitter old face, so poisoned after Murdoch left.

The Syura had lived in this mountainous swamp long before the kingdom of Sauron, the predecessor of the Duke of Sauron, was founded. They did not make the slopes, which were inconvenient for them, a terraced rice field, made a living through agriculture and gathering, and did not try to expand their territory on comfortable flatlands outside.

That was the Scylla survival strategy.

Temples of Arda-led holy wars, invasion wars that wanted territory, and some nations that set out to fight slaves of beautiful scylla.

Each time, Scylla fought in the swamps where the human army was not good enough, and when still unbearable, fled to the mountains in families.

And they waited for years and decades, attacking and reclaiming land while the enemy was also treating the land of Scylla.

The first king of Sauron acknowledged the autonomy of Scylla for the first time, brought the daughter of the then patriarch to his concubine, and sent his last son to a son-in-law.

`` The great-grandson of the youngest son of the king who came to his son-

"Are you Perivert?"

"Unnya. My newest husband and Olbia there."

"That's right !?"

While Vandalu was performing an autopsy of Olbia's corpse, the pauvinas were told by the village's chief, Peribert, of stories telling the history of the Scylla.

"In other words, I am the granddaughter of a princess, and Olbia is my aunt."

"Hey, your father and me are not siblings! Because they are cousins! It's not an oba!

Scylla is a long-lived race that lives for about four hundred years, so for them, talking about hundreds of years ago is only about the story of their ancestors.

And while Syura marries a man of another race because she is a monosexual race of women only, it seems that children are born 50% of the time as her husband's race. It is easy to understand that a girl is a scylla and a boy is a race of her husband. In other cases, it happens at a miraculous rate of about once every thousands of years.

"So Olbia and Pribel might have been princesses if the world was the world."

When Princess Levia said, Perrier's smile was sarcastic.

"Well, if the reign of the first king continued,"

Although the Syuras were guaranteed autonomy and became kin of the royal family, the daughters of the patriarch who was a concubine a few years after the demise of the first king and the daughters she gave birth were decided by the new king, the Syura autonomous region Has been returned to. The right to succeed the throne has also been abandoned.

Since then, if the Kingdom of Sauron has been converted to the Duke of Sauron, the Syura has been granted autonomy but has been banned from leaving the borough.

Admit presence but no more. It was such an attitude.

"Thanks to the autonomous region coming out of the borough are the caravans of the merchants who have the permit, the adventurers who have been commissioned, and the civilians who come to the post-inspection. I'm sorry. "

"Isn't the Vida religion so popular in Sauron? ?

"Is the great one again suffering from Alda?"

To Princess Levia, who was shocked, and Pauvina, tilting her head, Peribert replied, "Well, there are various things in the Vida religion."

"Some religions discriminate against tribes that aren't as sparse as Arda, but have blood from demons like Scylla and Lamia. Well, the sudden change in attitude was political, not religious. I guess the reason was when I was a kid, when I was talking to me when I was a kid. ''

At the time of the second king's reign, his leading supporters seemed to have rejected the fact that the long-lived former Scylla's princess had disliked the royal palace's long influence.

Although the second-generation King did not intend to treat his half-sister and his clan, he supported various autonomous regions at the time as proof, but it seems that the third generation and later went away.

If a coup or political change took place, the Syrian kingdom would be able to carry the Scylla that drew the blood of the first king and, on the contrary, be assassinated because he was worried about it, but the reign of the Kingdom of Sauron was stable. Even when a giant enemy called the Amid Empire was born and changed from a kingdom to a duke of the election of Orbaum, the replacement of the ruler itself went smoothly.

Now occupied by the Empire, the treatment has not changed since no one has found value in the lineage of kings hundreds of years ago.

"In addition, it was not a bad treatment for us other than looking for a son-in-law."

"Is it trapped, isn't it bad?"

Privelle nodded greatly at Pauvina who looked back.

"Yeah, I'm lame because I'm trapped, but I've been peaceful for hundreds of years."

Syuras were severely restricted from leaving the borough, but instead they were not recruited. While the Duke of Sauron was fighting the invading army of the Amid Empire, he lived leisurely and hunted alligators and fish, cultivating rice.

During the war, taxes are slightly heavier, but conversely, the burden is about that. You can't get a worker, so you can always hunt or fish for more prey and you're done.

From the point of view of Scylla, it was fine regardless of the human society that was not busy, and it was just right because if you paid taxes, you would not be attacked by settlements unlike in the past.

"Um, do you want to go out to society or think about that?

"No, not much. I've heard about it, but isn't it a racial-sized town that seems inconvenient?"

"I'm interested, but I'm going to have a hard time."

"He is going to bury his bones in this territory in the future ... and this was a secret!

As you can see, he didn't care much outside. Apparently, the Syuras are generally tribes that tend to prefer slow life.

The Duke of Sauron and the Scylla Autonomous Region have been in a dry relationship, like urban landlords and shopkeepers, so even if they are occupied by the Amid Empire, there seems to be no sign of fighting for neighbors!

That's why Vandaloo wondered, somehow the attitude of HR. Periverts say that it does not matter who controls Sauron if they do not have sparks.

By the way, the people of Kasim Tatsumoto reclamation village from the Duke of Sauron did not know the above circumstances. They came from a small village and knew that there were Syura boroughs in their territory, but they didn't know the history of the Duke of Sauron and the Syura.

Except for studying history books in the town's library, the Kasims, who became adventurers and stayed in the city for a while, only fled as refugees and fled to the Duke of Hartner.

"Resistance people come often these days. I want them to fight together or help with food and supplies."

However, as the Syura, the Dukes of Sauron, who have a long track record of guaranteeing autonomy, are more desirable as a government, they seem to have negotiations with the Resistance.

"I'm good enough to secretly provide food and supplies, move around the borough and build hideouts, but I hate participating in the war, according to me and other village heads.

It doesn't mean that it's not justified, and it's the request of the same Vida believer, but even if he puts his clan at risk and wins, it seems that we have little benefit.

Well, some have said that I can't trust what the occupying army is saying because of the case that Vandalu is examining right now, but I'm also lost. ''

"Um, mother? Can I talk to that? I'm the first to hear-"

"I have Pauvina with me, and it's a bad story to tell outsiders, right?

Privel and Princess Levia, who were initially curiously asking Peripera, who spoke with Perapera and important information, asked a question so involuntarily.

However, Perivert said with a cool face, something ridiculous.

"It's good, that Vandaloo will be the son of a Privelle, and we're all relatives."

"What, why ?!"

"Is your Majesty the son of Pribel! ?

To the surprised Privelle and Princess Levia, Perivert asked, "No, you did a court ceremony?"

"That's right, that child is still a child!"

"Maybe you forgot the oath of the shrine maiden? I would have sworn to Melebebeil to fulfill the courtship ceremony."

"That's right!"

Apparently, for religious reasons, Privel has to make sure that he or she is the son-in-law of the court ceremony.

"Van, I don't live here. I can come sometimes. There are many people who like Van later?"

"It's okay if you come from time to time. Unlike races and beasts, we get married and we have a child who has been born for about ten years, and we have a fixed number of wives and husbands. There is no problem here because there is no. ''

Syura is a race of women only, so she is always different from her husband. Then, naturally, the life is different. So the Scylla marriage is to be divided until the child is born and grows to some extent.

Furthermore, since there is not always the same number of husband candidates as Scylla, the number of wives and husbands is not particularly determined. It is up to them.

However, since the number of husbands has never been greater than that of wives, it is essentially polygamous.

Even if you say that you will make a further break, you are a good partner, so it is more likely that you will achieve it until one dies as a result. Conversely, a traveler who lost his way into the autonomous region had several times said that he traveled again with Scylla for a few days.

Perivert finished explaining Syura's view of marriage, but when she was done, she said she would worship Pauvina and Levia together.

"Why can't you do that?"

"Good"

"No problem"

And Pauvina and Princess Levia nodded. On the contrary, Perivales were surprised.

"Well? Is it good? Is it really?"

"Hey, it doesn't mean you have to be the son-in-law, but if you don't, Melebale will take a few days ... maybe over a month, but if you pray and forgive me, that's fine ..."

"Can I make a contract? That girl looks as mote as that person of me. Something strange aura is coming out

Pauvina and Princess Levia again answered, "No problem."

At the moment, Vandaloo is almost as polygamous as it is, so it doesn't change even if one Privel joins it. Syura's view of marriage is quite loose, like Ghoul, so it won't be a dispute.

Eleonora and Belmond may have an opinion, but will not object in the end. Undead Rita and Salia should not be opposed. In their eyes there are always countless spirits rubbing around Vandalu.

(And it's a plus for Her Majesty to be related to Peribert, the head of this settlement!)

And Princess Levia was also working that way. She is not political, but she even thinks about this.

"That's okay!"

"Well, let's check with the person for the time being!"

"what? Are you dissatisfied with that girl, Privel? In the future you will be as good a man as that person, surely

"Mr. Olbia, I can't guarantee anything without telling me about that person. Well, some years later ..."

The pribells are not as good as the spiritual Olbia, but they are affected by [Magical Attraction]. So it didn't seem like the pribell was full. Which way were you going to make someone a son-in-law?

"But your Majesty is Dumpel, is that OK? You are negotiating with the Amid Empire right now. After a few years, it may still look younger than Privel. ''

In the empire to which the occupying troops that the borough is negotiating now belong, the dampeel is treated as a type of undead and is therefore to be defeated.

"Dampire. If you know it, the occupying army will be troubled ... but if you don't know it, you should keep it secret. And not now, but a few years from now."

But it doesn't matter.

"Even if it's a lifetime, it's just better if it's several times the race. I live for four hundred years."

"No, your Majesty is half-dark Elf"

"Oh, there's no problem and no problem with dark elf ... dark elf !?"

When Princess Levia took care of it and confirmed her, Perivales were scared and surprised.

"Is Van's parent a dark elf !? I thought it was a dumpy with a race of blood of the beast race or giant race, small body, no beast ears and tail "

"I didn't think I was a dumb pier with the dark elf. I saw it for the first time. "

Apparently, Privelle and Peribert did not think that Vandaloo was a dark elf dumpy.

It's impossible to be aware of that sick skin.

The life expectancy of a racial dampir is between 300 and 500 years old, close to Scylla. However, it is 3,000 to 5,000 years if it is a dampir with a dark elf who lives a thousand years. The difference is overwhelming.

"Is it a dark elf? Well, isn't it good?"

"Yeah"

However, it doesn't seem to matter much after all.

"If you don't like a boy who finds Olbia's enemy just because of the seeds, ducks, or giant capybaras, that's why Vida and Melebebeil will punish you.

I'm glad to ask Olbia with Privelle. ''

"Yeah, leave it to me!"

"Cho, a little! Chief, Pauvina-chan, I will return to the ring of Rinne after confirming that the person is safe!

"Olivia, wasn't that child treated like that of Levia? If so, let's stay together."

"I would recommend returning to the ring of circles if it was normal, but it would be okay if you could be undead like Levia's.

"That's so easy, so I've got people in my heart."

"Oh, Olbia, not every person named by His Majesty must be a lover or lover of His Majesty."

When people were excited about such a girl talk, some people from outside said "Long, are you good?"

"Because you are visiting now, don't say anything from there."

The one who called out to Perivert, who had a long face in the moment, replied a little hesitantly, and answered, "Tomorrow, guests will come."

"CUSTOMER? If you were an occupying army, we'd be out by then--"

"No, just when I say 'customer', it's resistance."

It was shortly after that Banda Lou returned with his two guards, Scylla, who had taken a seat.

Demon commentary: Scylla

"Goddess of Life and Love" A race with a beautiful upper body and a lower octopus, born between Vida and the Demon (no specific record is kept).

As other appearance characteristics, many individuals have green hair and eyes.

As perceived as a tribe adapted to the water, it prefers the waterside to a lesser extent than the mermaid, and prefers to live in ponds, lakes, marshes, and riversides. Just say you like it and it's more dry than it looks.

Because of its ecology, Lizardmen often compete for territory more than race.

The elementary rank is 3, and there are almost always ranks of 5 or more in groups that live in village units.

The main weapon is the lower arm of the tentacle, and often learns [Martial Arts] and [Whip Technique] skills. In addition, since it has acquired [bornness] skill by nature, the thin arms of the upper body have hidden strength that does not match the appearance.

Ink can be applied like an octopus from the tip of the tentacle or the finger of the upper body, and it may be used for blinding.

Many people have learned the magic of life, water, and soil attributes because of their origin.

When fighting Scylla, the waterside is likely to become a battlefield, so it often becomes a strong enemy above the rank.

In ancient times, they acted drowning in the waterside and were feared as monsters who took the man who jumped into the water to help. It has been known among researchers that they only invited a man to become a husband by dancing.

The largest habitat is the autonomous region at the southern end of the Duke of Sauron (now occupied by the Amid Empire) on the continent of Bang Gaia, but is dotted with other small settlements.

By the way, in the mythological era, the founders of Scylla and their daughters were described in manuscripts of the literature at the time as the tips of their tentacles were heads of wolves, dragons, snakes and the like. In modern times, however, the majority of researchers support this claim that the temple of Arda is false in order to image the evil Syura, a new race of Vida.

The subjugation certificate is a specially shaped tailbone. The bile and bones of the upper body are made of alchemy, and the tentacles of the lower body are made edible. In addition, the ink in the ink bag becomes a material for ink and dye.

However, it is known that the majority of scylla are cheerful and understandable enough to interact with people. Not issued.
