The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The lectures at the Darussa communal temple were very successful.

(It was really nice, not expecting too much talk .... So much thick scripture, something I can't remember in a few days.)

The usual preaching practice at the communal temple is that the priests of each god talk about the doctrine on a daily basis, narrating relevant anecdotes, and telling stories of past heroes, combining religion and entertainment.

As a result, no one, including the female priest of Vida, had asked Darussia for a history of the religion of Vida or for the interpretation of the "right" doctrine.

The female priest seems to have felt something from Darussia, but what many people today have come to expect is to see the "rumored beauty dark elf" and hear unusual stories.

In fact, the proportion of men and women gathering at the communal temple today is biased toward Oita men.

While some may lament that listening to religious talks in the temple may be impure, it is only natural that the beauty of the clergy's preaching is actually popular.

…… Darcia sighed in the middle, noticing that there was an unguarded Aggar and the same fellow face he brought the other day. But when I find Kest, the customers of the stalls, and the faces of Serris, Vestra and the orphanage's children away from him, I'm glad they're interested.

And she didn't know her face, but among her audience, there was an adventurer's rock brought to a friend of the Rock and Rock, and a wife of his wife, Tamer Guild Master Bachem.

And, among the audience, the spy that the lord has fired is also mixed in.

"Hello everyone, my name is Darussia. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk to you today."

Yes, when Darussia greeted him, he heard a small exclamation from the audience. Much of it is for Darussia's good looks and his clear, clear voice.

The voice training I received from Kanako has been helpful.

"But I'm not a true priest ... I'll tell you about the goddess' faith in the village where I lived and the legends of the heroes involved."

And Darussia began to revise and reiterate the religions and legends that were not transmitted to the Dark Elves in the Amid Empire, where they lived, but were transmitted within Tarosheim and the Border Mountains. .

I hope that Vida's original teachings will be transmitted in a way that does not sound radical.

Because they did not want their teachings to be considered close to a faction friendly to Aldaites, the dominant Vida religion in the Dukes of Al Krem.

Darussia is, of course, anti-Alda against Vladimir Arda, an anti-Alda ... Vida fundamentalism.

However, if people say, "I should admit the existence of the undead," or "Alda is a true enemy, outside of reconciliation," etc., people will not get support. On the contrary, I understand that it only causes rebound.

For that purpose, the festival was religiously revered within the border mountain range, and stories about heroes of a new race were added to make the sound softer and more interesting to the audience.

And when we finished talking, the audience's reaction was decent, especially if we did the first thing a normal priest would do.

"And finally-"

However, Darussia decided to do a bad push.

(It's a bit gaudy, but it's okay if you keep it down. The Murakamis should have been informed by Rodcorte, and if Vircain intends to hostile with my son, it's not going to get weak even if I'm a little stronger Not sure.

I'll do it! )

Aroused, Darussia prayed to Vida and sharpened her consciousness.

"[Angel descent]!"

A light pillar comes down on her. And something that is not yourself, but not a foreign body, comes in.

Darussa in the light spoke openly to an astonishing audience.

"Bless the goddess to you"

The audience immediately froze for a moment, after a brief freeze.

God does exist in Lambda, and no one has doubted it.

The first thing you need to gain faith in such a world is more than a thankful doctrine, charisma, or the beauty of a clergy.

Something visible is most effective.

For this reason, clergy travel around the country, called training, to save people from everyday troubles and demons, and to provide treatment and education like adventurers. Temples may also send priests' warriors to demons and outlying areas to defeat scary demons.

However, since it is impossible to do it in a single lecture, Darussia decided to show the angel using [Angel Advent], which makes him descend on his body.

She has mastered the [Goddess Advent] skill, which is originally a much higher skill than [Angel Advent]. However, it is too conspicuous to wish the goddess to come down. It has become a hot topic that you will be stuck if you are invited from the Temple of Vida during the election of Orbaum, or if messengers from the Duke of Al Krem and other dukes come.

That is why he wished for the advent of the angel, the goddess's kin. Just because you own a higher skill doesn't mean you've forgotten a lower skill. It is the same thing that you can use [Death Magic] or [Non-Magic] even after Wandaloo wakes up to [Magic Magic] or [Imaginary Magic].

And in large-scale temples of Arda, it is not unusual for clergy to use [Advent] at the end of the sermon.

Some priests of Arda seem to be dissatisfied with such acts as seeing the kinship of God as a show.

"Mr. Darussia ... No, let me be called Darussia!"

However, this response seems to have been favorably received by Vida's female priest.

"No, um, I'm just a stall clerk, priest."

However, I didn't think that the gathered audience would receive the female priest anyway.

"Please call me Paula, Dulcia!"

Darussia was a little impatient, grabbed by a priest, Paula, who was shining like a girl.

He should have been accustomed to turning the audience's enthusiastic gaze and cheers in concerts so far.

(I guess the distance is too short? Kana-chan was trying to keep the guests from getting on the stage .... I'm now grateful to the bone guards and Michael who guarded me.)

With that thought in mind, the lecture was over, but when I looked at the front row of the remaining audience, there was Vandaloo there.

His expression is still as usual, but his thumbs up on his fist and his thumbs up. Perhaps, including the cling to the priest Paula, he thinks that he is "Mr.

…… When this was the other way around, Darussia also watched it, thinking that it was a true Vandalu, so it might be a similar parent and child.

"Darusia, please make me a disciple!"

"No, that's ... what the priest teaches me ... well, what should I do?"

It is impossible to teach the inside of the border mountain range suddenly, and the [Advent] skill is not a skill that can be taught. It is a skill that can be gained by increasing religion, bringing daily activities closer to the doctrine of God, and keeping in sync with God.

In other words, devout followers can only say, "Keep working hard."

But this is an opportunity to turn the Priest Paula, and the Vida believers in the town of Moxy, into anti-Arda.

"Okay, but I'm not a formal priest ... Is it okay to be a friend? I'll continue to talk about my faith."

So I decided to accept him as a friend. In this case, the temple of Vida, whose subtlety is unclear about the organizational power of the Orbaum election, will not make a fuss.

"Friends ... yes, I'm honored. Mr. Darussia!"

"You don't take me."

To the priest Paula, who was impressed and embraced Darussia, she thought that it was really good to be able to hold her to [Angel Advent].

If it was not the angel but the goddess who wanted to come down, I wouldn't know what the fuss was about.

At the communal temple, a large audience praised Vida.

In fact, in the town of Moxy, Pria had already gained a reputation for Vida religion in the case of the recent collapse of part of the statue of Alda.

While the priest of Arda screamed and stunned, the priest Paula was present to calm the people and report them to the guard, spearheading them to prevent panic.

Of course, the command itself soon returned to the lord of the count, but the priest Paula continued to struggle to calm the people. In addition to his sincere personality, many people were impressed with the work done for the town in an emergency.

And it was exciting at today's lecture in Darussia.

From the raised communal temple, there were those who went out fast with blue faces. One is one of the spies spawned by the lord.

(…… it was terrible. However, it was right that the lord did not actively move up to the parent and child enclosure so far.)

While muttering in his heart, the spy hurried his way to deliver the report as soon as possible.

If you listen carefully to the contents without being deceived by the charisma of Darussia, the unusualness of the content you talk about, and the production of [Angel Advent]. She is not a faction in favor of the Arda Reconciliation, but rather the opposite.

All new Vida races should be recognized as humans, advanced technology should be adopted, and the idea of living adaptively rather than fighting the evil spirits.

Everything is anti-Arda.

And she showed [Angry Advent]. It was too much to convince the spies that Darussia could be the leader of the anti-Arda reconciliation.

From the standpoint of a dark elf who sells skewered food stalls, even if you can use [Angel Advent], it may be vulnerable to the flag leader. However, her weapon is that she will be Dumpel's mother when she starts.

If Isaac Moxy had already had a close relationship with Darussia and Vandalu, the duke of Al Krem, who was friendly to the Arda Reconciliation, would have been suspected of saying, "The Earl of Moxy is planning something." .

The spy hurried on the road, proud of the master's wisdom.

Apart from that, there are those who go forward with determination in their eyes.

"I'll do it ... I can still do it. I'll do it!"

The man in the rags walked towards the slums, murmuring repeatedly.

"Don't you talk differently?"

"[Advent] is a different story. You can't go any further with Joseph."

And the last pair is guard Agger and his friends. They were gathering at the communal temple at their own will, not by someone else's orders.

Not because they are devout followers who regularly listen to the sermons of the priests. The aim is, of course, Darussia.

Within the communal temple, Vandaloo could not bring in the demons, and thought that Michael and his minions in Fearful Wolf would not appear.

Of course, Aggah has already received close attention from her boss after Isaac turned her hand. The first time in the morning, the captain of the guard came to the house and was scolded. Finally, he was advised, "Don't get involved with that parent and child anymore."

If anything unnatural continues, he can't help but feel the human being above the captain.

For this reason, I knew I would lose my job if I continued to use it a little bit. But Agger is a guard who repeatedly bribes, saying, "If you don't, you'll be fine."

Again, he did not choose to listen to the captain's advice.

But he couldn't hide the shock of Darussia's descent.

"If you go bad, you'll get back."

"Rumors, it seems that if you bring down an angel, your stats will be scumming. No matter how many women, if we do, we will not be able to compete"

Yes, as the bitterness of Aggar's friends is zero, [Advent] is a skill that enhances the ability value of the user. The most notable of this is magic, but it also increases power and agility.

In that case, the Aggers, who only have the average fighting power of the guards, can't beat the strength of gathering dozens of them.

… In fact, in Darussia, there is no need to drop an angel, and even a hundred knights can be beaten easily, not just guards.

Aggars, who did not know it, had to accept the fact that they couldn't use the means of "emergency when they came to them ..." and rather that Darcia wouldn't do anything if he turned back.

It's an assassin's mindset, not their purpose, if you hit it suddenly and hit your head or stake shortly before you could use your skills.

"Isn't it dangerous if you reach out? God's punishment goes down ..."

And the trouble is mental pressure. If there is no harm to the user, [Advent] is a divine miracle and a great opportunity to see the power of the gods.

But when it's harmful to the user, like Agger, it's only pressure. Moreover, they even evoke the fear of God, the absolutely strong man who usually forgets.

"Bibi, don't be scary! I won't give up. I've also received the money from Joseph!

As expected by the Vandalus, the Aggers were hired by subguild master Joseph. As expected, the work was harassing him, but it was a bit too much to say.

Aggar planned to take advantage of it and reach out to Darussia.

"That's right, Agger. How do you think we can manage someone who can use [Angry Advent], even if it ’s a good woman? I'm stronger. "

"What the hell !? Why do I say I lose to a woman !?"

"Do you think you can win !? [Angel descent] !?"

It is generally recognized that only the priests and heroes who have undergone rigorous training can use the [Advent] skill.

These people, when applied to the adventurer's guild class, are no less than class C, no matter how low.

On the other hand, Aggers are lower ranks of E-class to D-class if they are adventurer guilds. No matter how much you underestimate Darussia's abilities, there is no excuse.

"Let's give up, Agger. There were so many women we couldn't help. That woman was one of them."

"Let's think about it," Fantasy "is a woman whose sick partner is just messing around. I was glad I didn't put my hands down and be in danger."

"I was warned by the captain ... Joseph's husband got the money, but he wouldn't be helping him until he was fired."

"Kuh ..."

In the head of Aggar who was utterly disturbed by his friends, the thought "maybe" came to mind.

If you give up here and stay calm for a while, you will be able to return to a life where you can continue to work as a guard while earning a reasonable income and extraordinary income like pocket money. There is no reason to return the money received from Joseph.

I didn't lose anything. Just give up what you can't get and that's it.

(Whatever you do, I can't even touch me ... no, wait.)

However, Agger has found a clue to the strategy that might have worked.

"That woman, donated to the slum orphanage? — About a decade ago, the priest of Arda went to the orphanage where we stepped in, arguing what the trafficking was like."

"Oh, that's what happened. We were still newcomers at the time, but we didn't know what happened because we were just watchmen and carrying luggage."

"Surely no one was caught, in that turmoil. Maybe I couldn't find anything, so the captain of the guards at that time was taken responsibility, and the priest of Alda silently assumed nothing. "

He recalls the memory of those days when his friends were vague, and said so. Agger's memory is not much different from them. The guard broke into the orphanage and searched, but found no evidence and the case closed with insufficient evidence.

It is an incident that most town residents have forgotten.

"What happened?"

"Actually, at that time, I stole the orphanage's duplicate key. I thought that it could be used for something. I use this duplicate key to enter from the back of the orphanage and take some kid.

And she calls the woman's kid's dumpling, saying, "If you want to return the orphan safely, put the monster and come alone." And if you catch it, then to that woman-''

"Oh, hey hey Agger, I'm sorry for anything!"

"Yes, as long as the coins are wound up, you can fool yourself as long as you can't hold back the place, and you can humble the woman. But it won't fool you!"

Aggar did not listen to the voices of his companions trying to stop in a hurry.

"I'm not bivily! When I'm done, I'll put all my charges on Michael from Hungry! That's it! I'm a thug, after all, I'm going to build up with a filthy entanglement or something.

So what do you do? I'll be alone. ''

In Aggar's words, his colleagues didn't think, "Is that really going to be so convenient?", But again, the sense of danger was loosened because the evil that had been repeated many times had not been revealed. Would.

"That's right. I understand. I'll cooperate."

I guess it will work well if I do not even make a mistake this time. I rethought that.

"Hehehe, I have to come."

Aggar smiled, and went to her room to discuss the details of the operation.

That night, the stalls in the filthy back alleys had changed.

"... what is this?"

As usual, she finished her meals before going to work and her eyes widened. The stalls we were used to yesterday were clean, and somehow the bright pink heart symbol was so large that it was natural to be confused.

"... Well, come on."

But she was relieved because the shop owner with a slightly twitching smile was the same person.

"What's your dad? What happened to this store? I wondered if another stall had entered the stall."

"No, there is a little situation ..."

"What's the circumstance? The stalls have been cleaned, and this heart mark is not the Vida's holy sign.

"That's what you say ..."

"Hahhh !? Is it really imitating?"

"Let's eat it!"

The shop owner calls the patron woman over the soup. The woman was embarrassed, but when she received the container as usual ... she frowned at the contents.

"Dad ... The scent looks better than before, but what is this purple-colored ingredient?"

Until yesterday, the meat dumpling soup that had been sold at this stall had turned into a purple soup.

"I'm tasting. Eat and think you've been deceived."

"Then ... it's not as bad as it looks !? Rather, it's better than before !? This purple color is more normal than I thought! What's this?"

"It's goblin meat. Anyway, that moth ... what the boss says is gob gob in ghoul cuisine."

"Sister, this is Kobolt's sandwich! Please think that you were deceived and try to eat! I am surprisingly delicious!"

"This is a roasted meat. It's the same bag and baum as yesterday, but from today it's a goblin or Kobold gut.

"Cho, hey. How many times have I been deceived overnight?"

"Hey, this customer is still drinking our soup. Get back a little later!"

It sells slam-style dishes such as meat dumpling soup mixed with chopped goblin and kobold ears in the back alleys, sandwiches of scraps of meat and pieces of meat, slam-style grilled meat fried with rats and small fish etc. The restaurant was reborn as a gob-gob soup, a sandwich of kobolt meat wrapped in kobol leaves, and grilled meats of offal.

Goblin meat tastes bad and smells. It doesn't change whether the roast is boiled or not. If you use a lot of expensive spices, you will be able to eat it like ordinary meat, but if you are not a millionaire, it will be very hard to reach.

However, the goblin meat, which is soaked in the juice of Gobub grass, a magical plant that grows everywhere, turns purple in color, loses its smell and taste, and its surface is slimy The texture becomes subtle, but it is a preserved food that can not be eaten.

It is more suitable as a soup ingredient than a meat dumpling whose goblin or Kobold ears are chopped and whose taste is forcibly deceived.

Kobolt meat is also wrapped in Kobol tree leaves that grow only in places where Kobolt lives nearby and steamed to eliminate odors, and the muscular and hard meat becomes soft and changes. Originally, using not only leaves but also cuts of Kobol fruit would make it more delicious, but it would be very expensive to reach the slum dwellers, so it was just wrapped in leaves.

However, the softened kobolt meat is well suited for sauces and other ingredients, making it an excellent tool for sandwiching hard and heavy black bread.

In fact, goblin's internal organs are gob gob, and Kobolt's internal organs are steamed, so that they can be eaten without the taste and smell by following the same process.

If you cut it into pieces that are easy to eat and then bake it with more sauce, it will be much more delicious than slum-style grilled meat ... and it will actually be a nutritious dish.

These dishes are the same in price and quantity as before, and are slightly cheaper than Vandalu skewers. In this case, not only slum dwellers, but also those who have lost their way into the red-light district due to their unusualness may buy them.

"But, Vandalu, could I squeeze a little more out of them?

Chipras asks Vandalu, who cooks skewers. The price of food from their stalls is the same as before, which means that Vandaloo has received only the same price of gobgob and kobolt meat as proof of subjugation and the same amount of scrap vegetables and meat pieces. .

"Goblin and Kobold meats are only worth refusing to buy at a regular butcher. The processing is done only for the first time, and they will be done by themselves in the future."

"Money is a promise to get a little out of it when it makes a profit, so it's okay, Chipras."

“… In general, in such a case, we will pay the top payment from the sales. From the net profit excluding the purchase price and other expenses from the sales, I think that only 1% is fine, but ... Well, the purpose is not profitable, is there any problem if it is missionary? ”

Drawing the Vida holy sign on the stalls made it possible for the slum dwellers to see at a glance that the stalls had an association with Vandalu and the Vida religion.

The effect is great.

On the other hand, I don't think that this alone will win a passionate follower. If you can pray for a short time after having a meal, just remember and remember Vida at an accident.

If such delicate religions increase, it will be enough for the goddess.

"Beyond that, the spread of Gob Gob and Kobolt meat steaming as a ghoul culture is a step in creating a groundwork to announce that ghouls are not demons but new Vida races.

...... Well, there's no more ghouls at this magical area. "

"Because I asked the spirits of the adventurers and the Miles and examined them, and my Majesty asked me to move to Tarosheim."

As Princess Levia said, there were no more ghouls at the magical area around the town of Moxy.

"After that, will Van's influence expand in this town?

When asked by Olbia, Vandalu exhaled small.

"... It was a good thing not to do it originally. If it was planned, it would have been good just to open a stand without being noticeable for three months."

If you think about it, you should just sell skewers that are a bit more tasty than normal, with meat that you normally buy from the wholesalers on the street.

But it was likely that Joseph's attention in the commercial guild was the forked road of destiny.

"Yeah, but my mother was glad I was here. I just thank Joseph for that. I was able to meet Fang and get along with the orphanages. There are more good things. ''

Darcia smiles at Fang, who keeps a watchdog in the shadow of a stall today.

"Well, I've done more, but I don't regret it too. Fang, Marol, Urumi, Suruga, dinner."

After baking, pull out the moderately cooled meat from the skewer and throw it on the skewer, and the fangs catch and eat with dexterity in the mouth.

Visitors who came to buy the skewers enjoyed watching the smile with their eyes.

The large Great Giant Rats Marols are still rank 2 and are not uncommon and will not be repelled in the trading city of Moxy, where the Tamar Guild branch is located.

A rank 3 black dog fang, about the same degree of danger as a brown bear, would normally have been repelled by all means, but ... because it suppresses the [aura of darkness] that incites the fear of others, it is an ordinary large dog It seems to the people not to change.

"I'm gonna go hunting with me tomorrow. Should I save the goblin and Kobolt meat for a while?"

"Yes ... I hope the Kobol tree will grow."

"won!"

I can only do it, I can't ask. If we decline, we're done, only you can count on.

The man heard so deafly that he said. And most of the time, it was just something other than myself.

This time, it should have been possible to solve the situation without him.

"The minotaur kings and their swarms that the adventurer guild missed. It's clear that the" five-colored blades "are all over the gods' trials, but we'll be lucky if we gather A and B class adventurers.

The Minotaur is a monster that tends to stay in one place even if the king makes a herd. There must be no time to gather strength. ''

The man walking alone mutters while remembering the greasy face of the Duke of Al Krem who sent the request.

About a month ago, a village near the Makai was destroyed. From the way the houses were burned, it was speculated that they had attacked a notorious "hyena" Gozolov, a village with a gang of intellectuals in this area, and a squadron of knights serving the duke was defeated by the "hyena". Apparently he was dispatched to do so.

However, the dispatched Knights did not return, and instead they found that there was a herd led by the Minotaur King at the magical area near the annihilated village.

And the Knights are led by the youngest daughter of the former Duke of Al Krem, a sister who is now as old as the daughter of Duke Al Krem.

"The Duke wouldn't have been willing, but he did feed the hungry beasts."

The Duke of Al Krem, who knew it, asked him who had contacted him by chance.

"No way to contact you ... This must be God's pity. Please defeat the Minotaur King and herds, and if my sister is still alive ... dispose of it in any condition. "

The Knights aren't bad, but the Minotaur is a top auger. When it comes to the herd led by the king ... it's too different from "Hyena" defeat.

And if you haven't heard about it for a month, you can hardly imagine what's going on.

"He's taken care of his ancestors, and the hurdle is a lot of money. It's not a bad story ... Is it so cheap that my sister who abandoned her right to inheritance was conceived in Minotaur and hurt? What is the name of the duke who cares? "

Anyway, you can buy expensive potions for yourself, hire a first-rate healer, produce and treat rare magic items that can forget your painful memories.

Still, if you're worried, maybe you're going to a monastery away from the world, and there are many other things.

I do not think so.

"But ... is it another person anyway?"

On the face of it, it's supposed to retreat, and the S-class adventurer who wants to seclude himself, Randolph, "True," carries a bow and arrow, a slim sword in his hand, and a flock of minotaurs whispering himself. He steps into an existing demon.
