The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 208: A Peaceful Week for the Devil
The current Earl of Moxie, Isaac Moxie, was grumpy.
Yesterday, a communal shrine that happened just after noon the day before yesterday .... The statues of multiple gods and dependent gods with many worshipers were enshrined, and they were busy all day to investigate the mysterious incidents emanating from the facilities where the worshipers pray and to take future measures. Because.
Suddenly a part of the statue of Alda shatters, and the priest of Alda, a religious priest, screams and faints. One of the people who dealt with him is him.
Requested cooperation were priests of each deity other than Arda, the guildmaster of the magician guild, the guildmaster of the adventurer's guild, and the magician with the Earl family who requested cooperation. It's not an exaggeration to say that Moxie's brains were brought together.
But the results of their joint investigations and meetings were not very fruitful.
The cause of the incident was not the town, the county of Moxie, or the election of Orbaum, but probably something in the gods ... especially in the god of law, Arda and his subordinate, the god of record, Cyratos It turned out that this was the cause.
I understand ... but at the same time I realized that there was no way to take countermeasures.
Isaac is the most powerful of the nobles of the Duke of Al Krem. He has one of the trading cities as his territory and is confident in his economic strength. Its army is also strong as such.
But after all it is a person. He is not a hero who can intervene and solve problems of the gods, and he does not even know it.
So I don't know if the same thing will happen in the future.
What the Isaacs can do is announce to the public that no further incidents will occur and calm them down. And in the event of a similar incident, be prepared to get rid of the situation quickly.
And just keep a spare statue in case the statue is broken. It seems that the statue of God is not just an idol, but serves to deliver the religion and prayers of people to God via the statue.
So if something happens to God's body, it seems that the statue will have an effect. Scriptures, bas-reliefs, and scriptures of the doctrine also play the same role, but it was speculated that the statue was most likely to have an effect.
It's just a guess, but it's really just a guess and rule of thumb. There is no way that God can understand the circumstances of God.
However, guesswork and rules of thumb indicate that a deity without the religion or prayer of its people is unlikely to be harmed whatever happens to God.
Therefore, Isaac had the masonry carve a reserve of all the statues enshrined at the communal temple in case the same incident would occur in the future, and when it was completed, put the cloth in the warehouse until the turn came and put it in the warehouse. Decided and finished the meeting.
If the same thing was happening during the election, or even on Bang Gaia, the masons and sculptors were time to make money. While thinking about such unscrupulous things, I got to the late floor.
Ask your family to wake up late tomorrow.
"... Is it still early in the morning?"
Isaac, who was awakened at the same time, said that he was grumpy and glanced at his family.
"I'm sorry, man. It was a big deal."
"Is it important?-Did this time break the Vida's statue?"
"No, the report came up ... Dumpel appeared in the town of Moxy."
"Well, did Dumpel appear? That's what's important ... what ?! Is Miss Selenium staying?"
Isaac's eyes, which had left the maids dressed with their eyes asleep, opened wide.
I wondered if Selenium, the only known survivor in the Orbaum kingdom, was staying.
She herself is a rare race, born of a strange fate targeted by Arda militants and vampires, but in many ways she feels sympathetic but only a commoner.
However, the guardians have been in the dungeon for more than a year, but are Heinz, an S-class adventurer and honorary aristocrat, and friends.
If you have trouble during your stay and something happens to her ... just thinking about it is horrible.
If she stays in town without permission of her lord, it is certainly important.
"No, the dumper in question is not Miss Selenium. A commercial guild official reports that she is a boy named Vandaloo Zaccato."
"What? What else was there? ... Wait, I don't know a lot. Do you have a last name anyway? And that's Zaccato?"
In many nations of this world, only the royal family and nobles give their last names, not the commoners. The Orbaum kingdom does not prohibit ordinary people from giving their surnames, but it's only a scammer, except for a painful aristocrat or a descendant of an aristocracy who can't be seen to have fallen. Things.
But why did the Dumper claim the surname of the Fallen Hero Zackart as a surname?
"Why? No, it's not even the status, and it might be dangerous if you're a fanatic Zacht worshiper.
Why wait, why did the Dumpel go to a commercial guild in the first place? "
"It seems that he and his mother, Dark Elf, have visited for temporary registration. No one has confirmed their status for temporary registration."
"I was a little surprised that my mother was a dark elf ...
"Well, everything seems to be selling skewers at the stalls and living."
"Skewer with my mother ... Dark elves and Dumpel's mother and her child ??????????????" Is there no sex? "
"No, the receptionist in charge confirmed that the claw was extended from the boy's fingertip. There is no doubt that it is a dumpy."
"Well ... what did the Dumpiel do after he tentatively registered? Did he enter or leave the adventurer's guild? Did she ever ask for protection?"
"According to the report, he purchased charcoal and meat for use in the stalls at the store. After that, he purchased a house from the commercial guild and said that he was operating a stall in a back alley connecting the designated entertainment area and slum area.
There seemed to be no signs of seeking protection from the adventurer's guild or anyone. I'm just in touch with the example, Hungry. "
"... I don't know why it's strange other than the last."
When Isaac heard of Vandalu's actions yesterday, he was frowned upon. I can't catch my understanding and feel sick.
Isaac understands that the children of D'Ampeel are the victims or vulnerable to others. In fact, after being protected by the Five Colored Blades, selenium was also often targeted by vampires, as well as assassins from slave traders dealing with illegal slaves and noble nobles.
So if Dampel's boy comes to the city of Moxie, the most likely option is to seek protection from the lord, the temple, the adventurer's guild, or any other organization you can rely on, or to hide and conceal its identity. I thought so.
In fact, they seemed to be silent when they entered the town. But Vandaloo is revealing his identity in the commercial guild.
The commercial guild is a hotbed of crime ... but it's not an organization that doesn't want to seek protection to protect itself from vampires and other threats.
And instead of asking for protection, D'Ampeel has entered a temporary registration and started selling stalls. What's more, she had enough cash to buy a house for some reason. No matter how cheap the house is, if you have enough money, you can live in a cheap hotel for a few years.
"In other words, the young boy of Dampir, who should have been able to give Zachart's last name and not have any trouble with his immediate living expenses, started running a food stall with his Dark Elf mother.
So do you know why Hungry Wolf came into contact? "
Michael, who was recently prominent in the backstreet of the town, thought that Isaac was a vigilant lord. It's not because I'm thinking about something big, but because I'm too short.
Analyzing the information collected under him, Michael's ability is more than a B-class adventurer. That's why such a powerful person is housed in the boss of the thug. If you want, you can be recruited by a knight, get an honorary baron, or get a job at a nobleman or a big business bouncer.
Even if your shin has a wound that makes it impossible, if you hunt a few demons a month in a magical dungeon or dungeon, you'll make more money than heading thugs and rolling up Shoba.
Such an influential person suddenly came to the town without any signs of dropping into the surrounding towns and villages.
An unfamiliar spooky person who has passed the role of thug boss. That was Michael of Hungry Wolf.
What does that guy do when he comes into contact with the mysterious Dumpel?
"According to the people hiding in the red-light district, they seemed to be persuading Dumpel's mother, Dark Elf."
"... Well, that's just a pick-up.
In fact, is it possible to say that Michael of Vandaloo and the recently appearing "Fantasy" had been known for a long time? "
`` No, it was Joseph, who instructed him to place his stalls in the territory of 'Fantasy', so I wonder if that would happen. "
"Chip, uncle?"
Uncle Joseph, one of the commercial guild sub-guild masters, was a subtle hindrance to Isaac.
The relationship isn't good, but it's not as good as Isaac's enemy. He regularly repeats harassing unfavorable members in a manner that does not violate the rules, but is not enough to punish them because they are within the rules.
However, although they cannot be punished, their reputation in the guild drops. So no matter how many years pass, you won't be a guild master. … Of course, the lack of appropriate abilities and vessels is also a reason why he cannot be promoted.
Joseph has a remorse for Isaac's hand turning his hand in the way, making his relationship even worse. However, there is no real harm to Isaac, and there is no excuse for punishment, so there is no choice but to leave. It was in such a barren spiral.
"What do you think that shit is?-It's just a commonplace to say dampir ... but that's only for now. According to the record, it seems like a race that shows high talent when you grow up, Our Duke of Al Krem is opportunistic, and he will continue to look good on his renowned Five Colored Blade.
But do you think you might do something hated by Dumpel, and that a few years later your neck might be physically decapitated? "
Vandaloo is a commoner, but Joseph is also a commoner. With the power of the Duke, the proper sin would be nothing more than decapitating a commoner who was hated by others.
Isaac left his troublesome Joseph alone because he did not want to set a bad precedent that the lord had forced his sub-guild master's affairs without authority.
"Well, I don't know what he's thinking ... but maybe he's thinking that the people of The Five Colors are dead in the dungeon. After they entered the dungeon, This is my second year. "
"Hmmm ... Isn't it possible to understand the Arda reconciliation?"
"After that, please refrain from the word 'Kuso Danuki'"
"I see. But I don't know anything in the end. I'm definitely planning something."
There is no doubt that Vandaloo is plotting something. The series of actions from temporary registration in commercial guilds should have some speculation. But Isaac has no idea what it is.
But it will be too fluent to wait until you know something.
"Let's just get the knight to contact me with my letter. I'm not involved in my uncle's case and I'm as peaceful as possible if I'm ready to protect if I wish."
"I'll tell you if we're aware?"
"It would be unnatural if I didn't notice it forever, especially if I didn't seem to mention the dumb-peel, but I just said it was a dumb-peel in a commercial guild with my uncle.
Investigation continues. Inform your adventurer and guild guilds to be careful of vampires just in case. After that ... basically I'm just waiting for something. "
"Understood"
"Then I sleep-"
"Okay, breakfast is ready. Your wife is already waiting in the dining room."
"... I can't help getting up."
This is how the day of Isaac Maukey began.
One week since Vandaloo opened the stall. Rebuild your soul with your dreams and run a stall when you're awake. During the holidays, peaceful days continued, and no major events took place, such as holding a strategy meeting and dinner party with Eleonoras brought by Gfadogan in [Transfer].
On the other hand, the gods of the Ardians, who watched Vandalu's actions, were not sure of his intention and were just embarrassed, and the Murakamis were moving on towards the Duke of Al Krem.
In Talosheim, Luciliano conducted a preliminary investigation of the mutated race, including herself, and gave Melissa a report.
According to it, first, the Hidden races have higher magical abilities than races, and have [state abnormal resistance], [high speed regeneration], and [night vision] skills. No particular racial weakness.
Next, Dwerg also had higher magic and intelligence than the original dwarf, and his skill gained fire and light resistance in addition to what the dwarf was born with.
And it was presumed that the veterans mainly have the skills that vampires have, and those who have the beasts have very rare [beastification] per race.
[Beastization] is a skill that becomes a humanoid beast. It is a skill with enhanced abilities and equipped with weapons such as claws and fangs.
The girl who was originally a wolf-based race was mutated, but this is all I know because there is only a magic wolf-based beast.
And the lifespan and ecology of the various races are still unknown. It is unlikely to be shorter than the original race, but fertility may be slightly reduced.
Luciliano will be convinced that there will be some who will mutate in Tarosheim in the future.
What Vandaloo does is to inform the public that more people can mutate than those details, so that the people do not panic. … The main source of blood potion that flows inside the border mountains and on the Demon Continent is the blood of Vandaloo, which is undoubtedly his shard.
With that in mind, it doesn't matter who mutates. However, it seems that the possibility of mutation is not as great as drinking unprocessed blood directly.
And among the friends, it turned out that Knochen and the bone man, who had incorporated fragments such as [Demon King's Bone] into their bodies, had mutations.
Knochen had previously had to return to the herd of disjointed bones when flying in the sky, but can now fly with the bones assembled.
It sounds like a small change, but it's a great addition to Knochen's unprecedented hauling capacity, allowing it to move in the form of a citadel or concert theater.
If a large number of enemies or natural disasters are approaching while deployed on the ground, you can simply go inside and fly away.
And ... combining the bones into a gigantic sphere like a fortress, you can also take nonstandard attacking means of hitting the target at high speed.
He wouldn't want to do it because his bones hurt.
The boner was still standing on the rank 11 Skeleton Blade Road, so he concentrated on honing his skills, but he suddenly rose in rank yesterday.
The race that went up was a race called Skeleton Blade Emperor. What an excuse to say to the Lord! I want to cut if I have a belly! ].
"I don't care ... that my Lord is any vessel beyond the emperor. Duo ... I see!
For the time being, Vandalu's appreciation and persuasion through the Familiar King replied.
In addition, the face-down characters that had hidden the protection of Vandaloo were completely released. It seems that Nuaza has started a project to build a huge statue of Vandaloo at the Tarosheim Temple.
Vandalu wanted to make a stone statue and be an adult, but he didn't know if it would take decades to wait, so he gave up. …… a condition was set out that it was a stone statue, not a statue.
In private life, one friend has increased.
Dalcia asked, gazing at a dog eating soft, fluffy, desalinated dried meat with hot water and rubbing his lean back.
"Vandaloo, what's the name of this child?"
Darussia omits the common wisdom, such as "Why did you pick it up?" Or "Can you take care of it?" The reason is--
"Wow, amazing! It's a normal dog!
"There's a day when a bot picks up an ordinary dog that's neither a spirit, an undead, a demon, nor a person ..."
This appears in the words of Rita and Saria.
"I sometimes pick up a normal dog. I was going to do it in a mouse at first."
Nominal Vandaloo picked up the dog behind him, but on an experimental bench. An animal born from an undead-creature cross-breeding experiment was transformed into a monster by licking a small amount of blood potion before he entered the job.
Now, what happens if you raise a normal animal that has become a [granted monk] in this Moxy town instead of Tarosheim, which is in an environment equivalent to a paranormal environment?
To confirm it.
Later, I think it might be a good idea to sign up for a Tamer Guild if you keep them.
"In other words, I couldn't resist deserting a hungry dog that was within reach."
"Mm, Chipras has been able to see through my hidden chest."
"I was lucky, this kid. Eat well and you get bigger. "
"I'm so thin ... By the way, is it OK to have this kind of child eat meat?
"... Princess and Olbia's sister, I think this dog is an adult."
"Welcome, new brothers, everything is at the heart of Vandaloo."
The dog who eats meat for the first time in a long time while being watched by him and her had a strange sense of security and tension besides meat.
I am relieved because no one is in the house. Inside the house are the undead, the evil god, and the incarnation of the goddess, something that is not everyone for dogs.
And I'm nervous that there's something that looks at me as priceless over Vandaloo.
The source of the line of sight is the planes equipped on Vandalou, such as Eisen, Quinn, Pete, and Cule.
The dogs were keenly aware that they had joined the bottom of the new herd.
"That's the name ... the highs and grays are easy to match with the hair color ..."
After finishing the dried meat and looking up at the gray fur dog looking up at him, Vandaloo seemed to decide after a while thinking.
"I'm biting sweet when I first meet, so let's name it Fang."
The dog screamed sadly, but the name was Fang.
One week after opening, the management of the store was surprisingly good. The customers were Miles, Michael from Hungry, and his minions, but occasionally smelled by customers who came from the main street and bought them.
And there were high-ranking prostitutes in high-class prostitutes, which should have nothing to do with street food, or those who came to buy from high-end bars.
...... Well, many of them came to buy as an excuse to see the woman whose Michael from "Haruki" was arguing.
Apparently, a woman trying to call on Michael, who reigns in the backstreet, and a store owner who wants to socialize, were interested in Darussia, who was rumored to be arguing.
"You aren't ... huh!"
"Don't get in the way, she's not worthy of a bumpy woman like you."
There were some women who came to Darussia and came to say.
"Well, the rumors are already spreading. Michael is more motivated than expected."
"Thank you very much. Could you go a little further from the front of the stall if you didn't place an order?"
Of course, Darussia and Vandalu did not deal with these women, and with little care they did not mind any more.
"It disappears in front of him calmly-no, nothing. I'm sorry."
A woman-like bouncer who is selling only one person suddenly escaped in the middle of words, but he probably possesses [intuition] skills. Promising, she told Miles of her appearance.
Other than that, there were some customers who were annoying or misunderstood. A trio of a man who seemed to be mature and two escorts who secured both sides.
"How much is it?"
"Yes.
"Well, how much extra money can you buy for you?"
"Eh, me?"
To Darussia, who blinks his eyes, Seijin pats his chin with his finger, which has many jewelry and gold rings.
"Yes. Is this a prostitute's retreat or something? Have a woman stand in the name of a stall seller and the customer pays with the skewers to buy the woman. There is no reason for a good woman like this to sell at a stinky stall. ''
When I speak so proudly, I catch the edge of my mouth. Then, he asked him to say "I'll tell you the price as soon as possible."
Before that, Fang, the guard dog of the stall, stands and grunts with grururu.
"What is this filthy dog? Hey, it's in the way, huh ... huh !? u ah ah ah ah ah ah! ?? ah ah ah ah ah !?"
Seijin didn't care about the skinny Fang at first. However, she suddenly screamed and fled like a rabbit when it became deep blue.
"What? Husband, what happened?"
"Well, please wait!"
Seeing behind the escort men who rush after the money, Darussia visits Vandalu, behind the winning Fang.
"Did you use the [Mental Erosion] skill?"
"No, the effect was likely to remain if it was [Mental Erosion], so I just stared at it with [Maou's Demon Eye]"
The skill gained by absorbing the fragment of [Maou's Demon Eyes], the effect of which says that if you look at the land, you will contaminate it with magic and if you are a creature, it will give you fear.
For Demon King Gudranis, it would have been a useful ability. Just looking at this world will widen the territory where monsters are born one after another, and many of the confronting humans will be shattered with a glance.
But it was a subtle effect for Vandaloo. I didn't want to spread the magical territory, and the effect of fear was too severe for ordinary people, but it was only enough for the five-colored blade, of course, not to be used by adventurers with some ability.
I used them to make money because it was troublesome to persuade them with words.
"It didn't look like I was listening to people, and I didn't seem to know about Michael in Hungry ... I wonder if my evil eye wouldn't notice anyone."
As Vandaluu said, the people in the back alleys were surprised at the screams that Kim made when she fled, but no one was aware of his evil eye.
He sneers at the wealthy abuse of fear that the dog might have been scared to die.
"But if you don't adjust it a bit, you may have a trauma."
"I saw it with my half eye, but ... it's difficult."
"Well, it's okay. It's a good medicine."
As Darcia said, it was a really good medicine for Kim, and he never saw them in the red light district.
On the second day of the opening, two knights who served Earl Moxy came and handed a letter from Earl to Vandaluo. At that time, it was suggested that she would be protected by the Earl's family if she wanted to, but she was politely refused and had to return.
"Why did you send a messenger with surveillance?
"Olbia, the stakes aren't necessarily earl spies."
"No, it's limited. It's only the lord who sticks the spies of living human beings, which are likely to be trained as such, to me. "
`` I think Murakami is too fast for people, and Bilcain who knows the power of Vandaloo will use more skill, so I think that is exactly what Olbia says. ''
"I see ... well, let's leave the basics. Just be careful not to get inside the house."
By the way, Isaac Maukey was also firing a spy at home at this time, but she had escaped because she was unable to unlock. Vandaloo had turned the house into a golem, including the key to the door.
No one master of unlocking can absolutely open the key because it changes the structure with will. At least as long as you don't break the keys and doors and try to break them in.
Although she was lucky for a spy, she would only be captured or killed without entering Rita and Salia, even if she entered the house.
Because of that luck and Vandaloo's hate to mess with the Earl family behind the scenes, the Earl's spies remained intact.
On the third day of the opening, the priest of Vida and the restored priest of Arda came from the communal temple. The aim was to protect D'Ampeel and his mother, trying to persuade them more eagerly than the knights, which were polite, but only formally suggested.
"It's bad for those who live here, but it's insecure. It looks like you've been spotted by the recently emergent thug," Haruki "... a villain or vampire thug sneaking up I don't know if I will come.
We should be protected by the temple. ''
Vandalu, of course, rejected the priest of Arda who appealed so.
However, Vida's female priest had a surprising development.
"I would like to give a lecture once! Knowing the religion of the Dark Elves is a great opportunity for the believers ... No, it is a good opportunity to spread the insights of the people!"
"No, I was not specially involved in rituals in the village."
"Please do not hesitate, please!"
"Well, even if you say that ..."
While she was speaking, she felt something from the incarnation of Vida, Darussia, or was eagerly begging him to speak once in the temple.
The requested Darussia has little experience in ordinary sermons, and even if he can not hold a solo concert at the communal temple, he tries to refuse, but the female priest does not give up.
"What should I do? Should I just talk?"
"I think it's good. Mom is okay."
Vandalu's push against Darcy's roots led to a Dalcia lecture at the communal temple. If Vida's religion can be raised and the number of followers increased in this town, the recovery of Vida itself, enshrined in Vida's Sleeping Place, will proceed slightly.
And I refused protection, but it's good to have more allies in the town of Moxy.
On the fourth day of the opening, a little boy, about the same age as Vandaloo, was trapped in a Fang trying to steal his sales and was caught.
When calm down and listened, he seemed to have tried to steal the orphanage in the slums, a child who had just left the orphanage and had no work.
"Why were you trying to steal from us? Even though there are guard dogs."
"I thought it was easy to steal a skinny dog, a sweet woman and a hazy child!"
It seems to be said.
But as he talked, the orphanage's sister, who was looking for a boy, came to pick me up.
"I'm sorry, this child leaves the orphanage and does this ..."
"I guess I've already left the orphanage! I'm ten years old, I can work outside and I don't care!"
"I can't read even if the earthworms graffled on the wall!-Stealing is not a job!
Apparently, the boys have tried to leave the hospital and try to reduce their mouths, as donations from the orphanage have decreased and children, as well as sisters, cannot eat satisfactorily.
The respectable but reckless boy was taken to a sister who repeatedly apologized. Vandalou muttered while seeing it off.
"Mom, I'm going to donate to the orphanage tomorrow. Ingredients packed in a box with Vida's seal."
"Yeah, that's good .... Well, what kind of gods do they believe in? The girl who came to pick me up was like a sister."
The bad guard Aggar, who bribed Bridal from Vandaloo, came several times and tried to approach the stalls, especially Darussia, but each time she was glared at Miles and his minions and fled.
Kest, a serious newcomer guard, came once and bought a skewer. "Because I understand the situation, let me just say a word from a standpoint. Don't lie too much."
One week had passed, and Vandaloo's operations were proceeding generally well, except that Murakami and Virkine were not caught on the information network.
It had nothing to do with the original purpose, such as Darussia's lectures and donation of orphanages, but it also had an unexpected harvest, including the opportunity to increase the number of Vidas.
On the eighth day, after rebuilding his soul, Vandaloo went to the Tamer Guild with his tame Fang before the meat was purchased.

Demon Explanation: Skeleton Blade Emperor
The highest-ranking monster among skeleton-type monsters, the Skeleton Emperor.
A terrifying skeleton emperor who directs the skeleton undead. However, in the case of a boner, since his master, Vandalu, is an emperor, he states that he is a knightly position to serve it.
It does not attempt to command or reign the skeleton undead. Previously, he commanded the Undead Army in the former Scylla Autonomous Region, but it seemed shocking that he became an emperor.
The only exception is his fellow Knochen, who fights before anyone else in battle and struggles to find a new race name as soon as possible.
Of course, it is a new species in lambda.
