The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 224: Go to Temporary Registration
While repeating rebuilding and collapsing, Vandaloo gazed happily at the "self" that was being assembled little by little and everyone who helped it.
I feel that the number of people has increased sometime, but now the fun is better than worrying about it.
"Van, I can't get this sticky black thing"
Suddenly, the Pauvinas seem to have discovered something mixed with a block ... Vandaloo fragment.
"Some of the pieces are mixed with something black and sticky ... Husband, what is this?
"I know it's not very good, but it's not a bit like Vandaloo."
Belmond and Eleonora are also confused and looking at something. When Vandaloo looked at her surrounding eyeballs and compound eyes to see the fragment they pointed to, it contained something like a black streak.
You can see something black in the pieces, like a sashimi in fine meat. The moment I confirmed it, Vandalu felt disgust.
Humans have one aspect that no one wants to recognize in themselves, but they have a different sign. But I can't remember what it is.
"Yes, it's encore"
I couldn't remember, so Kanako in the skull dome danced. Every time her leg moves, a groove is cut in the gray flesh, a good stimulus for Vandaloo.
"Muh, I can't lose!
The boner begins to make a cut in the fragment in front of what was inspired by it. May be somewhat stimulating.
But I remembered while doing so. That black thing is three curses on the Rhodocorte.
The three curses, [Impossible to carry over previous experience value], [Impossible job], and [Impossibility to gain experience value] are applied to Lodcorte.
They are still working ... but now they have little to do with Vandaloo.
Rather, the curse may have increased the amount of magic.
"What do you do, boy? It's a pretty bone, but why not take it all?
Asked by Zadiris, Vandaloo got lost. Whether to stop the assembly work and try to solve the curse, or ignore it and continue working.
Of the curses, [I can't carry over my previous experience] is almost meaningless now, more than a decade after I was reincarnated as Lambda. Also, [Existing job unavailable] does not have any inconvenience because there are many new jobs.
[Experience Unable to Obtain Self-Help] is still the only obstacle, but there are [Death Magic] and Familiar King etc. so there is no problem if you are a little careful.
Is it worth stopping the rebuilding of the soul to resolve those curses?
And once you stop, can you break the curse?
Vandaloo cut out a suitable piece using his hands, which had been assembled. Looking closely at the cross section, I found something like a small black spot.
"... It's impossible to remove everything."
Princess Levia unfortunately drops her shoulder.
The only way to get rid of anything black is to cut all the pieces of the soul of Vandaloo and work on them one by one. But Vandaloo's shards range from the size that fits in a child's palm to the size that Vigalo can't hold without using all four arms.
It probably rolls as much as a tall building. The number of people is increasing sometime, but it is still lacking.
"In addition, no matter how much the shaven, even if the pieces are broken up more finely, it will have a bad effect? I'm still in trouble a little now
As Volks says, it's not always OK to shatter the pieces just because they have already fallen apart.
Also, I don't want my hands and feet to stay strong. The reason I infiltrated the town of Morksey was to lure Murakami and Virkine.
"So, do you want to save just what is on the surface of the fragment? It may be a bit better. '
Schneider, who had been in time, suggested so. Even if you can't take all of the black, it's possible that cursing will be less effective if you take some.
Although it is a rest, it is also uncomfortable to leave it alone.
"Do you get it. Let's collect only the part on the surface of the shard, and if you can't peel it off, work with a nearby guy!
Schneider issues the command, and everyone responds… with a subtle dullness. Perhaps because it is a dream, the consciousness seems to be dull.
"Oops"
Knochen brings the mass of black curses that he gathers.
Vandalu who received it could not be attached to anyone, so I decided to break it with [soul eating]. Just crush and extinguish, without eating.
Some of the curses shattered easily with Vandaloo's hands.
Immediately after returning to his sanctuary, Rhodocorte was obsessed with Edgar's soul, a member of The Five Colored Blades, Ash Blade.
"... how much does this work mean?
Originally, Rhodocorte does not repair wounded souls ... no treatment. It doesn't make sense.
By the time the soul is in the hands of Rhodocorte, the body in which it normally resided is dead. In other words, life is already over.
No matter how much you hurt, you just need to put it on the reincarnation system and send it to the afterlife. That will heal the wounds of the soul.
Being reborn as a human may have slightly more unusual behaviors and reactions than a baby with a healthy soul, but that's it. After a few years, the wounds of the soul will heal completely and take a new life.
If you are reincarnate, you won't even have that effect.
The reason why he is repairing Edgar's soul is because he was commissioned by the God of Honor, Alda. If he falls off, the strength of "Goshiki no Hana" will drop significantly, so I want him to do something.
"Indeed, The Five Colored Blades have greatly crushed Vandaloo. The best fight I've ever made against him. I will admit it. "
At least the reincarnations that Lodcorte has sent ... far more than Kanata Kaito of [Gunguniru] or Miyashi Konoe of [Deathsize].
Rodcorte, who saw the record of the series of battles, also saw the possibility that they could beat Vandaloo. …… about one in every one.
In that dungeon, Vandaloo's power was severely limited. Rodcorte saw that it had reached two-thirds, although not to say half.
Moreover, if Curatus, the god of record, did not intrude on the way, not only Edgar, but also Deraiza and the essential Heinz would have been devoured and destroyed.
And that dungeon is so badly destroyed that it's not clear that Heinz could be stronger.
"That's why I close my hand to return this man without cheat ability .... And to order him to do nothing extra to his soul except for treatment. .
I was wondering if they would require them to have the same cheat abilities as reincarnated people. ''
"... I don't think Arda's judgment is right. It's the right answer to stuck your nails because you did extra work, and nothing else. ''
Aran speaks to Rhodocorte while saying so. His gaze is pouring into Edgar's soul, and looks painful.
For Aran, who has sublimated to an angel, a spiritual life form, the deeply wounded soul should not look and feel good.
For example, more than 90% of the whole body is stripped of edgar, transplanted with the skin of the lost Nirtark hero Luke, and then undergoing plastic surgery based on Edgar's records. That is the task.
However, there is no sign of Aran distracting his eyes, whether he is interested in soul restoration work.
Rodkorte asked, as it was not hard to see.
"What else?
"What we don't expect from reincarnations. Except for Murakami and his friends, all of the guys you've sent up to now are all defeated, right? If , Arda would never want to lose the strongest hand they have grown. ''
Indeed, it is. [Gungunil] and [Deathsize] were defeated in brutality, and [Venus] and the other two betrayed. [Noah] escapes from the continent of Bang Gaia and abstains, and [Super Sensation] is trying to follow it.
A few others have not yet achieved results.
From Alda's point of view, it's no wonder that you can't trust reincarnated people who have no track record.
"Well, then I can't understand putting that important hand in your hand. Couldn't you do it with another god? You may be giving blessing, descending angels, or even dealing with your soul. '
This seems to be the case with Aran, who knows only gods other than Rhodocorte by knowledge.
Certainly, giving blessing and temporarily bringing down angels in response to the activation of [Angel Advent] skills are not necessarily soul-related acts.
However, it is different in dimension from what Lodcorte is doing now.
"The Ardas would not have asked me if they could do it themselves. If you still ask, they say they thought it was impossible. '
At any rate, Edgar's soul, on the verge of being a crock, must be restored as close to Edgar himself as possible. He must be able to use his acquired skills, as well as his personality and memory, as before.
As far as Arda knows, the only god who could do that was about Rodcorte.
(Although it may or may be Vida)
It is an unpleasant imagination from Rodcorte's point of view, but Vida has soul expertise in the sense of dealing with the reincarnation system. Herself and her subordinates may be able to repair Edgar's soul.
Most likely, however, Arda will be more unlikely than Rhodocorte.
"For me, it's harder to believe your actions now talk to me. Are you worried about what was decided at the meeting, and the battle between Gandoku no Blade and Vandaloo?
"……No wonder"
"I see, so while you and the other two are analyzing Vandaloo's information from the record of The Five Colored Blades, are you trying to hear from me this way? [Inspector] is more suitable? I don't think there's any guarantee I won't lie
"If it's a spring, you may not answer anything."
"... Hmm, sure."
While treating Edgar, keep the secret while replying to the extent that it is not a lie so that it can not be spotted by the ability of [Inspector]. It is a troublesome act for Rodcorte. Rather, it would be much easier to ignore the questions and not answer a single word.
But at the meeting ... talks with the Ardas had nothing to hide from the Arans. They were just as expected.
"For reincarnated people, if you don't express your willingness to fight Vandaloo, erase your memories. And they were given adult bodies and reincarnated in temples under the influence of the Ardas, or recovered their abilities and reincarnated as babies. "
"I was expecting the former, but what about the latter?
"Because Ardas thought that each reincarnate would be unsuitable. No matter how much memory is erased and tailored as a hero, those who are not suitable for fighting will remain unsuitable as long as their former character remains. '
If you lose your memory until the personality element completely disappears, the person forgets the language and how to walk, and becomes like a baby. Therefore, if you want to turn reincarnated people into a force, you will only erase your memories while leaving basic knowledge such as language. But then, the character of the reincarnate also remains.
If the surviving personality is one that dislikes fighting, or one that distrusts a religion you are not familiar with, you will be in the way.
"If you feel distrusted and escape from the temple after reincarnation, you will be troublesome. It seems that it is more likely that it is better to collect the applied power and give it to others. ''
"So that's it. It might be better. '
Aran thought about his colleagues still alive in Origin and thought so. My memories are erased and my strength is taken away. But it is a matter of death and reincarnation. Nobody knows that their third life is waiting for them.
At least it's much better than being forced into a fight that could be devoured by Vandaloo against his will. … Especially, it would be too happy if you didn't know the [Angel] Narumi.
"Speaking of reincarnations, what happened with Origin? Do you have a strange bias in your thinking?
"What is it?
In between Edgar's treatments, Rhodocorte, who glanced at the records of the Arans, verbally asked, but the Aran was calm.
However, Rodcorte, who sublimated the Aran into angels, saw him hiding his upset. This raises the consciousness that even if Edgar's treatment is slightly delayed, the records of the sub-ranches may need to be scrutinized.
But for another reason, Rodcorte stopped treating Edgar. Because I felt that a part of my power had disappeared.
"... Is Vandalu broken my curse, but only a fraction? Useless things
The curse that Lodcorte put on Vandalu's soul. That's already unsolvable to Rodcorte himself, mainly because of Vandaloo.
As you can see from the record of The Five Colored Blades, Vandaloo absorbs by eating not only crushing the soul of others. That has transformed the shape of the soul.
The only way to remove the curse would be for Vandaloo to annihilate his own soul, or for Rhodocorte to disappear.
However, the fact that Vandaloo tried to release the curse was harmful to his soul, and he seemed to recover quickly if he ate his own soul.
"Can you afford that much time?"
The reincarnations of Origin will start moving in a few years, and the number of deaths of Avalon's Rokudo will lead to more deaths than before, but it may not be possible to wait for it .
In that case, Edgar, now in the hands of Rodcorte, can be a valuable presence against the existing Vandaloo force.
"But it will take some time to recover. I've used all the usable parts of this shard of spirits too ...
"eh? Dude, what is it! ?
Rodcorte picked up a fragment of the spirit of the demon king Gudranis from his bosom, a piece of remnant thought and memory that was not enough to name and classify, and used it to treat Edgar.
"Hey, now I've sprinkled a powder of color that just looks dangerous! ?
"You don't have to know"
It is still a piece of the Demon King's soul, but it is an unprecedented thing to transplant a piece of the soul of the soul where it originally became like a crock. Some side effects will be fine.
An important part of the soul fragment of Gudranis, sealed by Arda .... The nucleus of the demon needed to join the fragments together to revive as Gudranis, and the fragment works as Gudranis itself without parasitizing the host. It may be dangerous if it is linked to [the Demon King's life] that is necessary to do so.
However, the potential for Edgar's soul to be swallowed up by Vandalu is far greater than that possibility and would not be considered.
"This can reduce the time needed for treatment. In the meantime, you'll see the system on my behalf. "
"……OK"
Aran, who apparently gave up saying that it was impossible to hear about the identity of the powder, replied and went away from Rhodocorte.
Without looking back, Rodcorte was thinking.
(The three Arans helped us to be unfaithful. I was able to go to talks with Arda, and now I can concentrate on Edgar's treatment. This is not the case with angels without egos.
You should leave it for a while now. At least, there should be no problem as long as you are watching "Earth" and "Origin". (Because Vandalu is only in Lambda.)
Although Rodcorte prioritized Edgar's treatment over looking at the records of the Arans, he missed the opportunity to know that Vander was there, even though he did not have Vandalu in Origin.
After waking up at the inn, Vandaloo checked his status just in case, but his curse remained the same.
However, the numbness of the limbs was much lighter than yesterday, and when I confirmed that I could move my body, I exhaled.
After leaving Dalcia and the inn, I first bought a stall.
"Vandaloo, are you all right?"
"No problem, mom"
Vandaloo used a criminal intelligence network in which Eleonora infiltrated and identified an old man who retired from stall sales last year, and bought used stalls from him.
"If you clean it a little, you can use it without problems."
An old man who received three times the price of the market with a hush fee and walked away while walking was using this stall carefully. If you clean it, it will soon stand upright.
"Rather, it's about numbness and magic in limbs."
However, Darussia was worried about the numbness that remained in Vandaloo's limbs and the magic that had not fully recovered.
"... Well, skewers aren't that difficult, and their magical power is about half recovered."
Perhaps because the soul is being rebuilt, Vandaloo's magic has only been restored by half.
Even though it is only half recovered, it still has about 3.5 billion magical powers, so it's not a problem, but she is worried about Darussia's face.
"But if it's a fight, it's not dangerous. I guess it's better to call Belmondo and drink blood, right?"
Hiding in the voice, Darussia suggested so. Belmond's blood, which has the unique skill of [Offering], has the effect of rapidly recovering magic power. Usually, if you drink her blood, it will be completely relieved immediately.
"But mom, now Belmond is a criminal boss secretary and mistress, so I'm just calling me a bit ... and this is probably a soul-related issue, so just sucking blood normally It may not go away. "
It wouldn't be enough to hijack a criminal organization without anyone noticing, but without the danger of losing it.
"Yes, I don't know what happens when it's about the soul .... Well, why don't you try drinking your mother's blood? Mother, this is also Vida's incarnation and maybe effective Mr. Verdo also told me not to give any blood to those who plan to resurrect the evil gods of the Remnants of the Demon Army!
As an incarnation of the goddess of life and love. The blood seems to be of great value in a sense.
"And mom, I'm confident in her regenerative power. Even if Vandaloo drinks blood until he's full, he'll soon be back."
And since Darussia has [Super Fast Regeneration] skill at 5 levels, the blood seems to heal immediately.
"... Well then, once I returned to the hotel room"
Now I have a voice, but I felt bad to suck blood outdoors. Therefore, after cleaning the stalls, once returning to the inn, Vandaloo decided to suck the blood of Darussia.
"Don't be afraid to stab the fangs deep. If you're too shallow, the wound will close up quickly."
"Yes, mom"
He bites deeply into Dulcia's neck with fangs, as said. Warm blood spilled into his mouth, and Vandaloo witnessed the moment he felt the taste.
It is rich and rich, yet it comes into the body without resistance. Then, power rises from the bottom of the body.
"Hmm ... I do remember this when I was feeding Vandalu in the past."
Darucia whispers that Vandalu is usually writhing in shame. But there was so much power in his body that it did not remain conscious.
After waking up this morning, the numbness left on the limbs disappears.
[Enhance vitality] Skill acquired!
<< The level of [Life Enhancement] and [Work Blood] skills have been raised!
The effects of Darussia's blood did not stop there.
This is just a sip, so it is likely that one or two seals of evil or evil gods will be lightly opened. The blood of the incarnation of the goddess, fear.
"Mom, it's okay. If you drink more, it's too much power and it looks pretty much like it."
By the time the fangs had been pulled out and Vendaloo finished saying that, the four wounds on Darussia's neck had been cleanly closed.
"That's right, let's take a stall and go to the commercial guild after a break."
"... I can now pull the stall across the horizon and run. However, my numbness has improved but my magical power has not yet recovered."
"It seems like the soul is the cause, but it works for numbness and maybe it works.
Now, let's drink my mother's blood once a day. ''
"... If you temporarily register with a commercial guild, let's rent or buy a house as soon as possible."
This is not as good as the first Starling's Inn, but it is hard to say that the soundproofing facilities and security are strict. Also, it is troublesome if the inn employee comes to clean the room while sucking blood.
Vandaloo has decided to have an earlier schedule to keep the parents and children private.
The commercial guild, unlike the adventurer's guild near the entrance to the town, was in the center of the city ... near the mansion, the residence and politics center of Earl Moxy, the lord.
It is a good location because it is the border between the residential area and commercial district where the commoners live, and the luxury residential area where the nobles and high-ranking bureaucrats led by the lords, successful merchants and adventurers live.
In the meantime, Dalcia and the stall-drawing Vandalu attracted a great deal of attention from the townspeople.
"I wonder if dark elf stands out?"
"Yes, I looked around and saw some elves, but no dark elves."
"But with my [chaos] skill, I can't make my skin white ... I wonder if I should have rounded ears."
To be precise, it was Darussia that the townspeople were watching. Dark Elves are rare in this area of Morxie, one of the trading cities of the Duke of Al Krems.
The beauty of the dark elf is walking, so it's no wonder that the townspeople look inattentively.
"... but it didn't change much"
But even though Darussia has rounded ears and disguised like a race, the beautiful woman with medium brown skin, which is located in the northern part of Bang Gaia continent and has many snow-white people, still attracts attention Will end up.
It should be noted that the townspeople seemed to see Vandalu as a servant or something carried by Darussia, and had hardly ever seen him once turned. No one realizes that they are still parents.
"Is it better to cover my face with a hood deep tomorrow?"
"Well, it's not bad to stand out. Aside from Murakami, who knows where I'm on the radar, Birkine wouldn't notice unless she knew the information that we were there."
It's not just bad things that attract attention, as the Vandalus must be somewhat prominent in the strategy.
But the fact that Darussia stands out also means that troubles are more likely to occur.
"Yo, unnie. Do you want to go with us?"
"I've just finished my work, celebrate it with me, too."
While saying so, a large duo appeared, blocking the front of Darussia. You're probably an adventurer or a mercenary, with your weapons down on your hips.
They grin grinning, showing off arms that are larger than Talsia's thighs and a cloth bag that seems to be full of gold.
"I'm sorry, we're busy. If you want someone to celebrate with, look for others."
Darussia, on the other hand, kept a mild smile, but refused. Standing in front of the men.
"Hey, don't say anything."
One of the men laughs grinning while trying to grab Darussia's arm. Another gazes at her chest and stretches under her nose.
"Yes, we're still known for being a mercenary guild-we've been busy and it's bad. We'll be rude this!"
"What's going on?-It's good in the future ..."
"I'm coming because it's good! Then I'll bother you!"
However, the man who was trying to grab his arm suddenly stopped, and hurriedly grabbed his partner's arm and left to escape.
Darussa, thinking that he would try to grab him back so hard that he couldn't break his arm when he grabbed his arm, looked at him behind him and leaned his head looking back at Vandaloo.
"Vandaloo, what did you do now?"
"I'm still nothing. Everyone is the same."
"... Chase, fertilizer?"
"Aizen, don't chase."
Despite the conversation, neither they nor the people around them knew why the duo fled. The two stopped thinking, "Well, don't care about it," and went straight to the commercial guild, and the people around were the dark elven beauty who was a former adventurer or something, and the man who noticed it took his partner He guessed that he had escaped by himself and was convinced.
In fact, the man who ran away with his partner had [Intuition] skill at 5 levels and was a man who survived the battlefield with good intuition. The moment his [intuition] reached out to Darussia, he sounded a warning bell, saying, "If you reach out to this guy!", And the man escaped accordingly.
Dozens of people saw the sadness of running away from the beauties, but it was a much better decision than a beauties could twist their arms on the streets or be done by Vandaluo.
The commercial guild seemed like a government office at first glance.
"I thought it was more flashy."
"It's fine because you're not doing business directly in a commercial guild."
"Because it's not just ordinary customers who come and go, only merchants, their employees, and tax officials."
With that said, I stopped at the stall and entered the guild, and it was almost noon, so there were few people inside.
If this is the case, the temporary registration will end soon. However, you can't understand commercial guilds more than adventurer guilds, so you'll have to worry about something happening.
Vandalou was preparing a reliable advisor for the day.
It is a ghost of a vampire who is one of the five veterans of the original vampire Tennessia, Belmond and Ira's former colleagues.
He was defeated by Heinz, but has a history of infiltrating human society and serving as a subguild master for a decade in the Duke of Hartner Commercial Guild. It's time that experience and knowledge are useful.
"What happens rarely with temporary registration? It's okay if you respond to the receptionist with the confidence that there is nothing you want to guilty of. "
Chipras assures her with a shy and shiny smile. The large physique produced a record and dependability, which dispelled Vandaloo's anxiety.
"Well ... I'm a little worried about memories of my lifetime because of being killed by being cut in half by Heinz"
I feel a little uneasy again. With that in mind, Vandaloo headed to the counter where the receptionist was.
"I'm sorry, I want to make a temporary registration."
"I was afraid, but I have decided that I must be the business owner to fill out the documents ..."
"Yes, I am the business owner."
"Huh? Isn't that dark elf woman, you are the owner? Isn't it a joke?"
"Yes, I'm really the owner"
"Yes, here is the push!
Only the business owner registers in the commercial guild, and employees do not need to register. So only Vandalu was registered and Darussia was going to be an employee of a skewered stall.
"... Please fill out the documents."
Guild receptionists seemed unconvinced of the claim that Vandalu is a business owner, but there is no law in the Duke of Al Krem that no minor should be doing business.
She offered her papers and a pen as she was compelled to give Van Daloo, who was not able to hear her advice.
"Do you need a handwriting?"
"No, it's okay."
Wandalu writes down his name, age, race, and business.
"If you cannot continue your business for three months during the temporary registration period, your registration will be deleted, so be careful."
"Isn't it necessary to open the store every day without missing a day?"
"No, you are free to go on regular holidays, but we will have you submit your books three months later, so if you decide that it is impossible to continue your business, we will delete your registration."
I didn't say any specific criteria, but I would say that I don't care if I earn as much as I can.
The receptionist who received the completed documents supplements the explanation while checking the contents.
"Is it a stall? The guild will decide where to stall, so please wait a bit."
"I can't decide freely."
"Yes, there seems to be a struggle between the stalls in the old days, and in this town, the stalls are to be designated in the commercial guild. The rest ... Dumpel?"
"Ah, yes.
While saying so, Vandaloo removed the cloth instead of the eyepatch that he had forgotten, and turned the navy blue and red odd eyes to the receptionist.
"This ... can you show me the fangs and claws?"
"Yes"
Show the fangs and claws to the surprised receptionist.
"Well, I see. I'm sure it's Dumpel ... I saw it for the first time."
The publicly existing Dampiel in the Orbaum Kingdom is the only selenium protected by The Five Colored Blades, and it was the first time that many saw it. This receptionist is no exception.
"Is there anything wrong with Dumpel?"
"That's how it is"
Vandalu and Cipras are ready to behave as if they were the adventurers of the Dukes of Hartner's Guild. But the receptionist shook his head, "No, not at all."
"So please wait a moment."
The reception lady went down to the back of the office with the documents. I guess they will go to a place where they can open a stall.
"Vandaloo looks like it's okay."
"I agree"
'I will say what I said'
I was concerned about having a hijacked criminal organization check the rules of a commercial guild. However, they were relieved, as the procedure was almost complete.
However, the receptionist does not come back.
"... Is there more stalls and less vacant places than I thought?"
"Maybe they are taking care not to be next to the Arda followers."
"... I have a bad feeling"
In front of the three people waiting while saying so, a middle-aged man with a good beard came, bringing the young lady back.
"Welcome to the commercial guild. I'm Josef, the sub-guild master of this guild. I have a little talk, so business owners should come to the office."
Hearing Joseph's words, Vandaloo thought. There is no reaction to [Danger Detection: Death], but you have a bad feeling from this middle-aged man.
Not everyone has [intuition] skills. For example, like this Joseph.
