The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 164: Princess and Military Lord, Their Troubles

Vandalu, officially appointed emperor, returned to Tarosheim. "The Trial of Zaccato" has not yet appeared, and there are many things to do.

One of them is the announcement of Pribels and Zadiris who have been simultaneously upgraded during their absence.

Vandalou himself wasn't aware, but he seemed to be dreaming and leading them. At that time, it was interesting that the appearance was different depending on the person, such as being huge like a mountain, being divided innumerably enough to cover the ground, and being a hand-held size.

"Maybe I'm different in soul and mental form from ordinary people."

"Is it a soul created from a piece of the hero's soul? I don't think it's so because dreams change depending on who sees it."

Eleonora says, as Vandalou whispered while pouring a magical attribute of death into Mithril bars. As she says, dreams may be uncertain, so you may not mind.

"I didn't mind that until now, but ...

When I remember my behavior and movements in Vida's sanctuary, I felt that I was obviously not moving.

Vandalu, worried about it, remembered when he was invited to the sanctuary of Mbubrgenge with Budalion and Godwin.

At that time, I feel that Budalion and Godwin did not change from their normal appearance even when they were only souls.

But I was looking down on them from the top ... it was clearly larger than my body. I didn't care at the time, but I thought it was probably after listening to my history.

"While the spirit body has a normal shape, is the soul shape different? That's weird. "

"Sure, the boy deforms often, but when he doesn't do it, it's a normal shape."

To the wondering Volks and Zadiris, Vandalu actually explained and made a ghost alter ego with [Escape].

"Is it easier to compare it to slime? The soul is the core and the spirit is the jelly-like part that wraps it. Usually the soul is always wrapped in the spirit and rarely appears."

"In my case, only the soul is different from the usual, and the spirit body is no different from other people. So nobody noticed just by looking at the alter ego of the spirit body. '

"Bururu Lulu"

"Thank you for your cooperation, Cure"

Volks and Zadiris are convinced that such a commentary was given by the deep blood slime cues.

In the case of the earth and the origin, the nucleus of the cell is described as a soul, but in the case of lambda, it is easier to describe it as a slime.

"Even if the shape has changed, Vandalu is a Vandalu. I don't care. "

Dulcia acts like he strokes his son's head.

"Thank you, mother. But rather than me, I thought everyone was scared when I saw my soul."

"Ah, that's true. Be careful, everyone!

Darussia looks back at Vandalu to everyone around him.

"No, I don't think you'll normally see your soul. That's when you meet Fidirug or Zozogante."

"Well, I'm not likely to be invited to the sanctuary with the shaven."

"If you're invited, it's okay if you're facing down."

"... I want to see it a little bit."

Eleonora and others respond calmly to the call of Darussia. Only Luciliano said something suspicious.

"By the way, could you change Mithril with the magic of death attribute?

Ira looks into Vandalu's hands with a gleaming desire in her dead eyes like zombies.

"I've been doing it a while ago, but it's impossible. Adamantite and obsidian were no good, so it may not be possible to change the magic metal."

Right now, Vandalu is trying to see if it is possible to change magical metals such as mythril and adamantite in the workshop.

Until now, Vandalou has changed the metal into dead iron, copper, spirit silver and raw gold, but he has not tried Mithril or Adamantite.

Although we were busy making dead iron and copper for Luna coins distributed as money in Tarosheim, the biggest reason is that metals such as mythril and adamantite are not easily produced in dungeons. .

They are usually found in the treasure chests that appear or as items that the demon equips. As a result, it is rare to find a cohesive quantity.

It is possible to create magic by consuming magical power with [Golem Creation] skill, but it will take some time. And since dead iron and copper were excellent materials, there was little need to change the magic metal.

The experiment was therefore postponed.

However, the results of the experiment that was finally undertaken were not good.

"Even if left for a while, it does not seem to disappear or move like spirit silver or raw gold, and there is no change in appearance, strength or properties"

"I see. The magic metal is originally made of silver or iron with magic, so it is impossible to change the already changed object even with the magic of the teacher's death attribute."

Lucialiano, Vandalou's apprentice and real research assistant, documents the results of the experiment.

"By the way, why not try Orichalcum?"

"It won't even need to be tried."

Orichalcum is said to be impossible for only God to purify or process. Vandalu is a process that roughly changes the shape, but it has been changed into a mace, shield, stick, etc. with [Golem creation] skill.

At that time, Orichalcum is exposed to a large amount of death-type magic, so if it changes, it must have changed.

"Platinum didn't change when I tried it before, would it stop here?"

"[Protection of the Earth's Hades] was an experiment we did before we got it, so why don't we try it again? With the blessing, there are many things that change. It will be possible to create inexpensive metals, etc. "

"Yes, so far, the effect of blessing is that it became easier to grow pomegranate with [grouping], and there may be more."

Vandaloo, who can grow plants in the body by the effect of [planting] integrated with [grouping], but after obtaining [protection of the Earth's Hades], Cultivation was made easy.

"Hmm ... well, let's do it later."

"Is there any other metal or material in the boy, the earth or the origin? Can it be made with [Golem creation] now?"

"I have it, but I don't know how to make it."

Lambda does not know its existence on the earth or on the origin ... There are metals such as tungsten that may or may not be present. However, Vandaloo was not very familiar with these metals and materials.

When I was a high school student on earth, I had no special interest in metals and minerals, so I didn't remember the properties and refining methods of metals such as tungsten and titanium alloys. …… I was supposed to remember about elemental symbols when I was an active student, but since I was about thirty years ago, I never remembered it.

At the origin, researchers also heard about the metal from the spirit of the researcher, but the researchers said what they were doing about the metal, there was no detailed description of the metal itself .

Even with [Golem creation] skill, it is not possible to create minerals without knowing just by knowing the name.

"If you ask Legion, they don't seem to know much. Well, they're not researchers or experts .... I'm wondering if I can try it. ''

The Trial of Zaccato contains the legacy of the hero Zaccato. Some of the weapons in Vida's Sleeper appear to include military weapons from another world, Earth, which he was trying to use to defeat the Demon King Gudranis. Was.

Even as a Vandalu, it is a thing that gets lost or lost.

"Well, isn't that good? Both dead iron and copper are first-class materials, and the shaven also has a “Devil King Fragment”?

"Yeah, yeah. Now that the experiment is over .... boy, I have something to say."

Zadiris, who forcibly changed the subject, firmly grabbed Vandaloo's shoulders.

"What is it related to rank up?"

Zadiris, like Pribels, was dreaming of Vandaloo's guidance and was ranked up. I haven't heard the details yet, but as you look at it, it looks almost unchanged. Vandalou leaned inwardly as to whether there was any problem.

But Zadiris says, "It's great."

"Zadiris, it's selfish that you are dissatisfied with the ranks as a result of being led."

"I'm unwilling to agree with my little girl, but that's right."

Eleonora and Ira tried to cry Zadiris, but she said, holding Vanderlu's shoulders.

"Boy, I'm grateful for being able to rank up. But ... why is the race name Ghoul Wizard Princess?"

The time stopped unexpectedly on the question of Zadiris with tears.

Princess, princess.

It is often used to describe the royal family and the noble and born children. In some cases, like Iris's two Liberation Princess Knights, it has nothing to do with the place of birth, but in many cases it was also born to some degree to a noble parent, or Used when calling a young woman.

"... I'll retract the previous statement, Zadiris"

"... deserves sympathy"

"I think I'm cute ..."

"Hum ?? There seems to be a change in the third eye and skin pattern ... but no, I feel like I'm a little younger, but be careful!"

Eleonora and Ira, who turn their gaze towards Zadiris and gently poke the pigtail of Luciliano, who put academic curiosity first, into agony.

Volix called out to you, "I don't want to learn you either," to Luciliano, who was defeated by two people who can pierce the torso of a knight in sheet metal armor with bare hands.

Only then did Vandaloo squeeze his words.

"... or cute?"

"I'm already 300 years ago !? There's a grandson! Why is it a princess ?!"

"I'm pleased once"

Zadiris continues to appeal to Vandalu, ignoring Volks' muttering.

"I don't even think that the boy deliberately raised the ranks of the Ghoulwizard Princess. I'm not a race I've never heard of.

Not Jeronimo, Queen or Grandmother, but the princess! "

"... I don't know that unless I ask the gods who control my status."

Vandalu responds by recalling what Rikrent had heard in the sanctuary of Vida. Since Rekrent did not create a god of the rank that only the demon had at the time, maybe there is a rank clerk among the evil gods of the Demon King's army.

"But even if you ask why ... still an image?"

"Zadiris, Queen can't afford to look like that."

"Please calm down, the next time you rank up, your appearance will change and you will rank up as a queen ... the hope that you can do is not zero"

"I don't want to be kind to Islay! I hope you guys are going to be Vampire Princesses, Zombie Princesses, and so on!"

"Stop it! Don't curse a strange curse, what will you do if it's real?"

"I don't have it. In appearance age

Eleonora, who seems to be at the age of twenty and seemingly unlikely to be cursed by Zadiris, twitched her face, and Ira, in her mid-thirties, shook her shoulders quietly. … I guessed that I was thinking about the possibility, but my face seemed a little stiffer.

"Well, I'm not going to be able to be a zombie prince hero at this age ...

As Volks says, new demons and Vida races can be upgraded but not down unless they are undead.

Also, it has not been confirmed that the race name changes without ranking up.

The ranks and race names remain the same, whether the five are impaired or old.

"That's right. If you come this far, you will not be able to rank up so easily, but there is only it."

"Do you make sticks and costumes anyway?"

"... I don't want childish designs. I'm glad I didn't say Queen, but Lady or Mrs."

Vandalu asked while he imagined his inner soul, "Witch Girl Zadiris," but apparently Zadiris, who did not know about Japanese anime, interpreted it as a gift present.

(Design ... I don't have much confidence)

It's terrible to say "I was a joke" to Zadiris, which turned around and was in a good mood.

Clothes can be made by refining and knitting the threads on their own. The wand should be tailored based on [Devil's Horn] and [Exoskeleton], incorporating her wishes as much as possible.

Ira said, gently pulling her hand.

"Vandaloo, what do I actually want? Any rope is fine!

"Ira ... I'm not going to be a rocky hobby, I'm going to put it on a collar, is it?

"Yes, of course!

Van Dal undertakes, “I understand,” to Ira who nods in a double sense. Ira has been working hard lately, and it's natural to give a gift after the collar.

"Vandaloo-sama! Me too!"

"Ira-san, but Eleonora-san should be even more restrained ... It would be impossible to get them, surely."

"I think so, mom.

Is a choker good for Eleonora? More like an accessory ”

"Majesty-kun"

"Is it a little good?

In the meantime, while Eleonora is also lagging behind, a giant zombie, the hero of the former Talosheim and a Volks party member, Gina, the Healing Saint, and Zandia, a Little Genius, enter the underground workshop. Was.

"Maybe you can't even say a collar?

When they hear the fear of Volks, who seems to have a bad sense of timing, they both raise their eyebrows and make a suspicious face.

"eh? What is that? We came to report on the bodybuilding tournament to your Majesty and then talked a lot. '

Gina, who learned about bodybuilding poses such as side chests from Vandaloo, said "this may be interesting" and came up with an idea to hold a bodybuilding tournament using a theater built in Tarosheim.

Even in this lambda, there were many ways in which a bodily beauty could pose to emphasize muscles. Not surprisingly, some of them like the poses of Earth's bodybuilders. Although there are various races, Lambda has a pentagonal shape that is common to humans on Earth in many races.

However, competitions that compete only for physical beauty are rare. In Lambda, a person with good physical beauty is the same as one with good physical ability, and a good fighting ability is required.

In other words, it will be a tournament in which a gladiator slave lives, or a martial arts tournament that is not bloody but occasionally dead.

This competition, which does not require practicality and competes only for beauty, is the first attempt at least in the border mountains.

Religiously, it is a good theme to serve Vida, a goddess of life attributes, so it will be held as a large event as the Vida Resurrection Memorial Bodybuilding Tournament.

"Are there any problems or assistance?"

Of course, I'm also looking forward to Vandaloo. On the day of the tournament, he will participate as a special judge.

"It's okay for now. I had you make costumes for the players. But thank you for the award. "

Elaora exclaims her chances to appeal to Vandaloo and her greed, and Eleonora exclaims, "I can't beat Basdia in the women's section."

"Well, it's irrelevant to me. And what about Zandia and other reports?"

Zadiris asks Zandia, who has become a princess, strangely, who has completely given up on muscle.

"Yeah, first of all, we're ranked up and broken. I'm rank 9, Gina's sister is rank 10.

Later, to celebrate Vida's release from the stakes of Arda and His Majesty's reincarnation of the four heroes, Nuaza says that he will build a giant statue beside the statue of Vida. About what you are doing

"I will stop."

Knowing that something terrible was going on, Vandaloo walked out of Zadiris's arm with a decisive step.

"eh? Stop it? Did you say that Verd might be a subordinate god after death by a great spirit?

"I told you to stop it. I don't intend to be a living god, I just have to put a life-sized thing in front of the statue as before."

He might be a god after his death, but he did not intend to be alive during his life.

The current military commander of the Milg Shield, Count Thomas Palpapek, exhaled when he signed the documents.

He had a military-like strength when tightened, a gentleness that would reassure him if he smiled, and a sense of dependability in either case, but he has been quite old in recent years.

Before it was often seen younger than its age, but now it looks ten years older than its actual age.

But King Milg and the Royal Palace officials thought it was inevitable.

He has been engaged in the hard work of rebuilding the strength of a 6,000-pointed unit lost in an expedition about four years ago, and a country that has dropped significantly.

In addition, he is responsible for defending the border of Sauron before being reinstated in the election of Orbaum, and now returning to its former state.

His work has been acknowledged by the nobles of the pro-Amid empire, who were originally Thomas's political opponents.

Some would say that with his work, in less than a decade, the military power of the Milg Shield would return to the same level as before the expedition.

Each time he heard the praise, Thomas muttered, "I must have this country before."

"... Why did this happen?"

Thomas, who had processed all the documents he had to read, muttered in a bitter tone. At this time, the same question was dominating in his head whenever he was not working alone.

Where did I make the mistake and why did this happen? And what to do now?

Four years ago, when an expedition started by a plot of vampires of the genre ended in a catastrophic failure beyond Thomas' imagination. Thomas worked hard to prevent any further damage to his country.

He calmed down public opinion for retaliation and struggled to rebuild his military power so that he could respond no matter when Vandalu attacked.

At the time he thought it was the best move. Probably Dampel's baby, whose mother was killed by the vampires and his scheme, there is no better way to deal with Vandalu.

The tunnel in the border mountain range collapsed and was completely closed. Vandaloo himself should not be able to attack this anymore.

Of course, Thomas could not cross the mountains from the side of the Milg Shield, so Thomas did not consider revenge on Vandalu with his own hands.

He expected that the vampires would be willing to do it without his hand. Or maybe the Amid Empire, who saw the situation seriously, might move.

However, Thomas' expectations were exhausted.

The death of the vampire Goubamon, the vampire squad leader who was connected to him. The collapse of the fort, headed by Kurt Regston, a man who wanted to take on an important post in the future.

And last year, one of the "Jakuguru 15 Swords", the defeat of Rickert Amid of the "Light Speed Sword".

Thomas was convinced that all of them involved Vandaloo.

As a military lord of the Dependents, he has no intelligence organization as powerful as the Emperor Mashhakzar of the Amid Empire. However, if you look at the connected vampires, you can predict to some extent.

While Thomas struggled to rebuild the military power of the Milg Shield, Vandaloo slaughtered a vampire of the ancestors and accumulated enough power to handle the Amid Empire's mightiest "Evil Fifteen Swords." It was.

Whether Military Shield's military power returns before or before the expedition, nothing has changed. If Vanderlu is concerned, Thomas will be crushed in every country.

"I'm working hard every day to raise a group of only undead material for the most dangerous people in the last four years.

No matter how hard you train a soldier, if you take your own sword to command the army, or if you hire a number of adventurers of Class B or higher, the quality of undead material will only be higher for Vandaloo.

Perhaps the country is no longer an enemy for Vandaloo, but just a ranch to raise undead. Recently, even such a delusion comes to mind.

Too much labor, Thomas smiled snoringly.

"On the palm of a child who has never seen his face, my life is"

Thomas Palpapek has never seen Vandaloo directly. I have never exchanged words, and I do not know in detail what kind of person it is.

I just saw a caricature transcribed from the testimony of an adventurer who saw it through the life dead.

I know that it's a transcendent dumb-peel that leads the ghoul and uses the undead. But I don't know what personality and philosophy they live outside of those abilities.

How much he knows about him ... or does he know that it is the secret of his mother's death? If you knew it, you wouldn't know how resentful you were.

Considering the worst pattern, she has evacuated three wives and children to another house, but ... what happens?

"At that time ... When the testimony of the adventurer revealed the existence of Dumpir, the first thing that was wrong was to make a lonely imitation of forming a subjugation squad. The assassins should be sent more quickly and defeated. No, should I say that when his mother was found in Evbezia, should she have killed both her mother and her child with just her knight?

But I can't go back to the past. Then what should we do ... "

Rely on vampires? It's stupid. Their value is not so great for them. And what can be expected of them, two of the three original vampires already being slain?

Cry on the Amid Empire? No, it's dangerous if you don't know what the emperor intends to do with Vandalu, fight or find a place to drop and sign a secret agreement.

If the emperor considers signing a secret, Thomas and his family's neck will be treated as convenient material.

"I feel like squeezing even at the neck ...?"

Thomas noticed that the door had opened sometime, and nighttime had entered the room. Thomas interrupted the final unanswered question and rose from his chair.

And notice that a letter is falling near the window.

"A message from a vampire? ... this is it!"

When I grasped it and checked the contents, I found a surprising thing.

"Are they moving for me? Is the reward only for fulfilling the request?

Every time I check the written text many times, the glow of hope in Thomas's eyes grows stronger.

"With their power, I can ... this country can survive!"

Gareth's Blessing (NEW!)

Racial commentary: Ghoul Wizard Princess

A tribe whose rank has been raised by Zadiris, who gained the protection of Gareth, the guardian deity of the demon country, by Vandaloo who appeared in a dream. It is also the first race in Lambda.

There is no change in appearance, but his magical abilities are higher than in the Ghoul Elder Wizard.

In addition, while using the wand, the magical power will be increased while using the skill effect of [Enhance magic when wand is equipped: Medium]. (Skills that enhance not only attack power but also healing power when casting recovery magic and sustaining power when casting added magic)

Gareth's intention has nothing to do with this rank-up.
