The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

It took enough for Princess Cunelia to calm down.

"I'm sorry that I'm sorry that I'm upset before the guest. The concubine is the ninth child of Zanarpadna's queen, Donneris, and the first princess, Cunelia.

Princess Kounelia bows eight legs with elegant gestures, although the details differ from the courtesy of the aristocratic daughter. The gesture was definitely dignified.

"Princess, can't you repair it?"

"... after all?"

However, when Muse told me, she shouted sadly with Henna Henna.

Certainly, even though a real sister who was unknown in life after returning as a decoy of the Noble Orcs to escape ourselves came back, a flying body attack with a weight of over 100 kg with his lower body included. He was bitterly hug in front of him, which would be seriously injured if he was involved.

Even if you try to refurbish it now, it is impossible.

As expected, no one below Vandalu said.

"Princess ... While it was postponed in the wartime, it should be calm down soon because it should be a shelter soon."

"Because my mother had to block negotiations with Lizardman and only have to continue negotiations or hope for Zanarpadna's descent ... so if she was convinced with Darling that she couldn't afford to lose her now, I heard that Gizania was back, and I was happy ... but I'm glad it was safe! I'm not missing my arms, legs, or compound eyes! "

"Princess, please stop!"

Princess Counelia touches Petapeta and Gizania around to see if she has been hurt.

Gizania was shy, but eventually turned away.

"It looks like Princess Counelia and Gizania are on good terms."

"I think it's too good, but I knew that the common sense here and my common sense were different."

Basdia nodded with her sisters and nodded that nothing was more important, and Eleonora said to hold her eyebrows and moan.

Eleonora remembers the relationship between the "princess" who is common sense in human society and "its sister without the right to succeed", and seems to be unable to wipe out the sense of incompatibility.

In a human society, everyone wouldn't be as open-minded in front of the guests, and everyone would think that their sisters in such a relationship couldn't be better off in the first place.

Because she is a princess who marries the first prince who was supposed to be the next king of an important ally, and her sister who is never called a princess because of her birth.

"Perhaps because here there was no diplomacy or war that I and Eleonora thought of. Outside of the recent coup of the Noble Oak Empire."

It was originally a tribe who served the same Vida, and after Kenji Boogie, friendship and solidarity continued to increase for a long time.

It must have been free of the dire and complex strange diplomatic struggles and power struggles that exist in human society.

This is due in part to the fact that the rulers of the existing city-states were monsters like Noble Oak and a new race of Vida.

No matter how intelligent a demon is, its strength is an important criterion for itself and others. And the hierarchy by strength is not always inherited by the existing ruler's lineage.

Therefore, authoritarianism based on human royal aristocracy would not have strengthened. Of course, a stronger parent is more likely to have a strong child who inherits his qualities, so it is somewhat respected.

However, there is still no such idea as “noble blue blood”.

"In addition, since Muse said" politics and rituals, "the royal family of Zanarpadna and the Noble Oak Empire also played a role in religion other than a political role."

"I'm sure that's right, but would a king be such a person? A shrine maiden is a shrine maiden and a king at the same time."

Muse agreed with Vandalou's words for granted. The kings of the city states, including Zanarpadna, seem to be both rulers and chief priests.

Although it is not unclear whether separation of politics and religion is not necessary, Vandaloo does not think that God is real and does ridiculous things, he is reprimanded by oracles etc. Will be taken, so there will be no problem.

"Sure, I'm the Son of Vida."

And so was Vandalu himself. Because the two-name effect is delicious, there is no alternative but to refuse even if "separate politics and religion".

"By the way, can I leave Vandalu-sama soon?"

"Oh, this is rude! I was so strangely comfortable that I forgot."

A muse that passes Vandaloo to Eleonora. Eleonora, who received it, immediately dropped it without holding it up.

(Vandaloo-sama hardly moves when being held by someone, so if you don't talk it looks like a doll)

Vandaloo, whose expression is poor and his presence is sparse, gives a stronger impression of a doll if he does not move himself.

And it is very unsightly for Tarosheim's representatives to be taken casually to Zanarpadna people and royals who have not yet formed an alliance.

This is another country that is friendly but without diplomatic relations.

From there, an old man of a race in the form of a magician appears from inside the gate.

"Everyone, the princess looked very unsightly and thank you for helping Gizania. I'm Bakota, the chief magician serving Queen Donanellis.

Eh, I want Queen Donanellis to bring guests from Tarosheim to the castle ... and later, Muse will bring her stupid daughter. "

"Let's go like that!"

"Princess, this is also my deceased.

Chief of magician ... Perhaps based on the message of a person who is a court magician in a human country, a princess from one country raises a miserable voice and is taken to Muse. In front of guests from other countries.

"... I don't care so much."

"Please be careful, please. I can't help alone."

Among the members this time, Eleonora, who was a common sense person, leaked that way, and definitely Kurt, a common sense person, was asking.

"I don't think it's better to have a shoulder than to negotiate with an ordinary human royal nobleman."

It was Vandaloo who said to them.

By the way, this time no one seemed to believe Eleonora was Vandalu's mother.

Nobody noticed that she was a vampire in the sun with a calm face, and she found that it was strange if she was a mother and child, she would call her Vandaloo.

The total population of Zanarpadna is about 100,000. The breakdown is about 10,000 Arakne, about 7,000 Empusa, and about 1,000 Noble Oak, Hygoblin, Haikobolt, Ghoul, etc. who have been married to other city-states. The remaining 82,000 people are called people.

And inside the walls, there were many strange structures compared to ordinary cities.

There are countless large towers lined up, and it is a private house. Vandalu, who thought that there were [Samurai] and [Knoichi] and that there were buildings similar to Japanese houses, was surprised.

Inside the tower, Aracune and Empusa, who are larger than humans, and races, dwarves, beasts, giants, and heterogeneous tribes from other countries live together.

By the way, there are almost no elves. Instead, they seem to live more in other city-states.

"So that's it. Arachne and Empusa are women-only races, so they usually live together with other races and maintain their races. ''

He finds races and dwarves where the boners cross the avenue and convinces. By the way, he naturally wears a helmet deeply.

There are some Noble Orcs who have fled with Prince Budalion, and the Orcas of the Knights of the Black Fang below Goba are fine if they are with Gizania, Muse and Princess Counelia. Demons, such as the Diatrima, which they have named, are rarely seen from a distance, but are not afraid.

But the undead is unlikely, the boner continues to pretend to be a human in armor. It is only Gizania that knows him and the Volks, who are also wearing full-face helmets, are undead.

Once he returned to Tarosheim, he consulted with the five evil dragons Fidirug and the sludge and tentacle evil god Melebbeil. They came to the conclusion that it would be good.

"Maybe Zanarpadna could receive the oracle from Vida unlike me?"

"As far as I can tell, there seems to be enough power to be active right after the battle 100,000 years ago."

"Even if he misses the oracle, he must have received one pillar if there are many other gods."

Melevebeil continued with Fidirug's story.

"But you won't know what happened outside the border mountains ... at least in the tens of thousands of years. Arachne outside the border mountains seems to believe in Vida, but not in Zanarpadna. Perhaps they couldn't protect Arachne and Empusa outside the mountains as they wanted, and they intentionally abolished them. '

`` A tribe who worships a weak evil god is a good prey for those on the Arda side. ''

"If only Vida--"

"Watch out"

"Huh! ? I'm sorry Merebeil's sister! I wonder if Vida alone could still escape the harm of Arda!

"That's why I think that if you get a seal from the queen who will be receiving the oracle from Zanarpadna, you will be convinced otherwise!

As a result of consulting while knowing the power relationship between the rollover groups, the current policy was established. It is God's request when in trouble. …… but the meaning is different from the proverb of the earth.

Princess Kuneria, who does not know these circumstances, explains in a line including the bone man.

"There are circumstances like Kotsujin's, but it also means that the concubines Alacne and Empusa protect the people."

In the battle between Vida and Arda 100,000 years ago, Zantag was the war god who united with Vida's subordinate gods and the evil gods who turned over from the Demon King's army. And new Vida races fought under Vida. But there were also races, dwarves, and Elven Vida members.

And those who survived the battle fled inside this border mountain range with a new tribe of Vida.

"In the meantime, in the area where Zanarpadna is located, the ethnic groups also had independent settlements. Even if they were friends, the ecology was different, so it was better to have a separate home despite trade. Right.

At first it turned around ...

Yes, Bakota will take over from Princess Counelia.

"According to the record, the boundaries of the monsters suddenly spread inside the mountain range, and powerful monsters began to rampage. Perhaps Vida's last force raised the mountain range to protect children and others from Arda. It was filled with intense magic, which would have caused multiple dungeons.

The recurring monster runaway from the dungeons has transformed this into a world of shura that can't survive.

The gods, including Zanarpadna, also created dungeons for children who serve themselves, but dungeons that spontaneously occurred outside of settlements could not be managed, and the number of demons increased, and the demons rapidly expanded due to the demons. The old people guessed that.

"... If you say, there are too many monsters even though they should be shelters."

Until Vandalu heard about Bakota, he never doubted that the mountains, which are walls that cut off the inside from the outside world, and the sky above it were full of haunts, with rabbits horns and monsters rampaging inside. "Is this a stop thinking?"

"Well, I didn't feel very uncomfortable."

"Because we have never lived outside the Makai, how about Volks?"

"On the contrary, because of demons and dungeons, we flourished from settlements to nations. Well, at first it seemed to be tough. "

"Hahaha, indeed, Makai and dungeons are a blessing for those who can hunt monsters."

Monsters that grow faster than normal beasts can be used as food, clothing, weaponry materials, and magic item materials and fuel if magic stones are caught. Plants grow fast, and fruits and wild plants are available all year round.

Furthermore, in dungeons, it is possible to mine metal resources that can be processed directly into metal products without refining, or there may be magic items and potions in treasure chests.

An environment surrounded by magical areas and dungeons is no better grace for the strong.

In fact, Arachne, Empusa, Noble Oak, etc. hunted monsters, captured dungeons and obtained various supplies like the old Tarosheim giants.

But races and dwarves did not.

"Nobody believes that races, dwarves, elves, giants, and beasts are weak. In fact, before Bakota's magic, I wouldn't be competing. But races and dwarves were my own. The proportion of non-combatants is higher than the others, and it takes time to be able to defeat the monsters around here, so it seems there was no help for it. ''

"Yes, suddenly it's rank 4"

Speaking of rank 4, it is a monster that can be defeated by a D-class adventurer or a veteran alone. And a D-class adventurer is a class that most people can reach with the same level of talent and effort.

However, there is no shortage of young people who have not experienced actual battles in a short time.

Giants and beasts, new Vida races and physical abilities, must have years of experience in adulthood before they can compete with the rank 4 demons ... with many casualties.

"So the concubines and darling's ancestors, who had the power to fight the demon, decided to accept and protect them respectively."

"Since then, we have been called co-people and have co-existed and co-prospered by supporting tribes, asylum seekers."

In other words, Arachne and the Noble Oaks keep their duties, and those who are guarded support them with production activities. It seems that such a status system was naturally formed.

In Zanarpadna, there is a maternal society in which each tower has a family of Arachne and Empusa, under which several families live.

And Arachne and Empusa seem to share the wives and husbands of the people.

"... Buff? Harem?"

"I can't tell you that Kasim is emigrating."

"No, I don't think it's so good, I am."

"I understand what I want to say, but I don't think it's exactly what Vigaro says, and I don't think the outsider is enviable. The work of the son-in-law is to make children with the women first. It's the same as the women of the people.

In Zanarpadna, the lead job is basically the work of Arachne and Empusa. Races and dwarves will not be able to use monster-hunting warriors or national defense soldiers unless they become at least mid-sized adventurers.

In addition, Arakune and Empusas who are more likely to be protected by the god Zanarpadna in their religion are given priority.

Therefore, men are required to engage in housework and production jobs.

"If you have a large number of women to join, you may not be able to work outside, because it is difficult to raise the children born."

So-called full-time husband.

"That's also ... I would be pleased if it was normal, but I would be disliked if that was Kasim or Zeno."

It is only necessary to be surrounded by women and raise children without working. In a sense, it is an ideal way of life. However, it is not a welcome environment for Casim and Zeno, who are still going to climb high as adventurers.

"A sorceress like me can be useful to men, and can join the battle line in case of an emergency. Empusa and Arachne are not very good at magic in large or small breeds. You are just as good as your race. ''

Bakota, who is a man but climbed up to the chief magician, is said to be an exception except for himself.

"But it's true that men are weaker than the Noble Oak Empire, but they are really cherished, otherwise no one will be able to marry from another country and the country cannot be maintained I from"

By the way, in this Zanarpadna, almost all the children born of Aracune and Empusa and their other husbands are born of their mother's race.

Originally, even if the new race in Vida is a single parent, there is a half-and-a-half chance that children of the mother and father race will be born, and in the case of Noble Oak, children will almost certainly be born as Noble Oaks.

However, in the urban nations, including Zanarpadna, south of the swamps, children are born 100% of races that have roots in the gods served in each country.

The same couple in Arachne and Noble Oak would only have children in Arakune if they made a child in this Zanarpadna, and Noble Oak in the Noble Oak Empire.

"If that person is looking for someone, I think it's better to look for a woman to get married instead of getting married."

"Yes. I'll ask you when you return. By the way, the story will change-"

Because the story of marriage is progressing without himself, Vandalu decided to forcibly change the topic. I don't know Kassim's intentions (this would be the case if Kasim turned out to be a woman with eight legs or four arms after a matchmaking was decided), and I wasn't even asked Because there is a doubt as to whether you can take care of it.

"The story changes, but the people in the town aren't very dark and lively. It's wartime and the flag colors should be bad."

As Vandalou says, people's faces are not so dark, regardless of race. Although somewhat nervous, frustrated, and tired, there are some who look at the Vandaloos with a look that they expect, and cheer and applause to express their willingness to welcome.

He must have been cornered enough to send a messenger to Lizardman, who had been negotiating before, to seek reinforcements.

However, not only Bakota was asked, but also Muse answered, "Thanks to the shrine maiden."

"What's ours?"

"That's not true. It is clear from the shrine maiden that it is apparent that the desperate Gizania's survivor and the reinforcements of the requisite rope were obtained."

There is no Lizardman among the Vandaloos. But weird people who don't seem to be from Zanarpadna or other city-states.

And in Zanarpadna, the "weird ones" would have been interpreted as "unknown reinforcements", as they only travel between certain city-states.

"It's lively ... probably because the princess screamed at me and sprinted all the way from the castle to the gate, so it's attracting attention."

"Oh ... it gathers up for something."

"I'm sorry? But no one is running! I ran from tower to tower with a thread!"

"Princess, it's commonplace"

Zanarpadna's castle looked like a collection of towers. Just seeing a number of Arachne and Empusa going up and down the wall, it looks more like an anthill than a tower.

"Maybe this castle can't move without walking the walls or the sky?"

"Can I wait at the table?

Vigaro and Volks seemed to have a bad feeling for the unique Zanarpadna architecture.

"Speaking of that ... maybe you can't do both?"

And that's right. The tower, which is an ordinary private house, also has stairs and slopes because people such as races and dwarves live there.

But the castle didn't care. Most of the workers are those who can use magic like Arachne and Empusa or Bakota.

"Is it okay for the Knights of the Black Fang to wait? The Volks will be carried by the castle."

"I understand Fugo."

The Gobabs had to wait near the castle with the demon they were trying to name. Because there are only monsters that we do not see in Zanarpadna, we do not know how to handle it unless the Tamer himself is nearby.

If it is a spider or mantis monster, it seems that there is a dedicated tamer in the stable.

"Then the shrine maiden is--"

Vandalou, who can use magic and can crawl on walls and ceilings without using it, tried to tell it.

"So then,

However, for some reason she was taken to the Muses.

"No, I think Van can move on his own, whatever we carry ..."

"Bassdia, leave this to Muse. There seems to be something to ask for."

"Is that so? I knew that."

"Why do you know ... I could fly with it."

Vandalu is carried to the Muse while listening to such a voice behind.

"The shrine maiden, in fact, has a consultation ..."

"What about Ninja?"

"Well, why did you know that?"

A muse who is dexterous with a small voice while climbing a wall using her sickle arm and legs.

"But if you know, the story is early! I'd like to tell you about some Ninjas who are in Tarosheim! I hope you can teach me how to practice ..."

Not only for Muse, but also for those who are working on [Knoichi], reaching Ninja one day is a goal and a dream. He couldn't help jumping to the clue.

"It's not a job, it's a race name, and I can't turn into a big frog, but if that's okay, I'll tell you how to practice it, but maybe it's not too big?"

"That's enough! I'll do this.

With a wide smile, Muse put out a familiar necklace from her bosom and gave it to Vandalou.

"" Dear necklace? "

"It's an Empusa version of it. It's not a compound eye, but a sickle, polished, and the thread is from Arakune, who lives in the same tower."

After all, Empusa seems to moult.

"Thank you very much."

Connect, get the second. In fact, unlike Gizania, who was the sister of a princess, it is unknown how useful the connection of Muse, who is only the captain of the gate guard, is.

I'm glad to show my affection even without such a deduction, so I don't really care if it doesn't help me.

"Then, here is the Queen's meeting. One day, if you give Princess Counelia to Queen Donanellis, you will return to the gate, so please ask him to remember his promise."

"I understand"

The strange place was Japanese-style during the Queen who was carried to the Muse. The floor was folded.

For a moment, Vandalu remembered nostalgia, thinking that it was a real tatami mat, but soon realized that it was different. Arachne yarn is knitted in a tatami pattern and dyed with dyes made from plants.

Vandaloo, named "Itomata" in the heart, is the most prominent of the Arachne and Empusa lined between the queens. He lost his one eye and one arm, but kept his dignity and turned his eyes to a gentle noble orc.

There are a few other races that we see for the first time, but they are probably the most important ones here.

They are both staring at Vandaloo, especially the queen of Arachne, who is surprised and stared at the two dear necklaces he is hanging from his neck. The connection effect seems to be outstanding.

Then, poke his knees into the tatami mat to greet him.

"I'm the king of Tarosheim, governing the northern land, including the swamps, and I'm Vandalu of" The Son of Vida "as the" Eating King. "

"Well, wait!"

Suddenly, she was greeted with a greeting by Queen Donanellis, and she reflexively looked up.

"... Oh, it's Seiza. It's a tatami."

"That's not true! If you give thanks to yourself, to the benefactor of your daughter's life, and to the king who is king of a nation, you will be in a position of a concubine! But don't rub your forehead against a tatami mat in front of everyone! "

It was my first diplomacy, so I thought I would give my thanks. Looking at it, other Arachne and Noble Oaks are in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the Kings shouldn't easily bow down."

"Please say that first. I was not a king before becoming a king."

"... I know what I mean, but no matter where the king is before the coronation."

Vandalou, who was disappointed by the Kurt climbing in Arachne, reappeared, and Queen Donanellis exhaled and reopened, apparently relieved.

"Thank you for helping my daughter. My concubine is Donanellis, a man who serves this Zanarpadna and reigns in this country. He knows himself as a child who challenges great trials, known by the oracle received from God."

Demon commentary: Empusa

The following is a description of ancient documents compiled by a magician who has repaired the manuscript of "The Manuscript of Ancient Literature" stored in the magician guild of the Amid Imperial City.

It is a female monster with a mantis characteristic. The basic rank is 4. It has a high intelligence but is violent, and unlike a mantis insect, it behaves in a swarm.

In addition to the normal arm, there is a pair of sickle arms that change from a wrist to a sharp sickle, and skillfully manipulate them with [martial arts] skills.

It has wings on its back, but its flying ability is low like mantis. Mostly used to glide.

Also, like some mantis, you can perform [mimicry] that blends into the surrounding landscape.

Although ecology is a monosexual race, it requires males of other races to mate, but Empusa only targets humans and new males of Vida. For this reason, it is said that the risk is higher than that of oak.

The drowned man is killed as a source of nutrients for laying eggs after mating. The Empusa then lays one or more eggs, which hatch about a year later, and the laying child grows to the same shape as an adult in about ten years, with repeated molting.

In addition, there are individuals that are long-lived as demons and have lived for more than 200 years.

Eggs sometimes give birth to children of the male side, but girls will kill them immediately and boys will keep them until they can mate.

The existence of higher-ranking species such as Empusa Berserker, Empusa Slayer, and Empusa Assassin has been confirmed, and it is a dangerous monster.

Fortunately, Empusa Mage rarely exists, just like a demon who is not good at magic.

The sickle can be used as a weapon out of the box, with its strong shell and bones being used as armor material, and its wings as powdered alchemy materials.

Also, magic stones collected from the heart go well with magic items with wind attributes.

However, no Empusa has been identified on this continent for several hundred years. The continent seems to have succeeded in eradicating Empusa.

It is fortunate that we have succeeded in eradicating such evil demons. Because Empusa is a monster that is not created in dungeons, it will not be seen in Bang Gaia unless a stupid tamer from another continent is brought in the future.

However, it is undeniable that the monsters may have survived in the southern continent beyond the border mountain range.
