The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 245: The World Is Round

A tube is used to connect a barrel filled with liquid that generates countless fine bubbles to another barrel filled with black liquid. In doing so, the gas emanating from the bubbles dissolves in the black liquid.

While performing such work in a dungeon created under the house, Vandalu thought about the content of the oracle that Juliana had received.

"The land equal to the north and south from here is probably the continent or island on the other side of Bang Gaia continent."

"Well, yeah. North and south, opposite directions, but equal."

"Sure, people in this world knew that their world was a sphere. Even though they had a map, they didn't see anything like a globe, so I thought they didn't know exactly."

Kanako said to Darussia, who nodded to Vandalu's speculation, was slightly surprised. By seeing the lambda world from the sanctuary of Rhodocorte, they know that lambda is a spherical world similar to Earth and Origin.

I only saw Lambda, so the size might be different from Earth or Origin, and the movement of the celestial body might be reversed ... The sun and moon might be rotating around Lambda is there. But there is no doubt that the world is a sphere.

But that's because you can see it from outside the world. The Kanakos had never seen anything called a lambda rite equivalent to a globe since their reincarnation, and so naturally the inhabitants of this world had always assumed that the world was not a sphere.

Though surprised at Kanako, Darussia corrects her to "not everyone knows."

"Precisely, when I was a child, I was taught at the same time I learned myths, legends, reading and writing, and arithmetic. But I'm not so conscious anymore. Whether the world is a sphere.

I also forgot until I was taught again in the sanctuary of Vida, and it seems that Juliana also forgot. ''

"Oh, don't look at me! Don't look at me who had forgotten that he was a highly educated person in this country!"

"I don't mind. Even if I hear the world is round, I don't understand it."

"Yes, Yuri-chan. Good."

"I'm sorry, I didn't blame you."

Zadiris, Pauvina and Darussia comforting Yuliana writhing in shame. Apparently, saying "I don't understand!" To the worshiper Vandaluu seems to have caused mental damage.

"Because we, who lived locked up in the Makai, did not have the opportunity to gain knowledge of the world's geography.

"Humans are similar to ordinary households. I only learned once in the past, and I'm not so conscious afterwards. I'm the one I had forgotten until Vandalu-sama said.

In my case, more than two hundred years ago, my education seems to be similar. Hey? "

Talea asks for consent, and Simon and Natania are nodded with a confused look.

"Yeah, the world is round, and if you ask me, I remember I learned when I was a kid ... I can only see the world straight."

"No .... the world looks flat even though there are mountains, hills and depressions ... but it was like I had never learned about it before ..."

Simon and Natania also knew that the world was round, but their knowledge seemed to be completely dusted.

"Does this mean that Alda and Bellwood believers did not teach much because of the knowledge from another world?"

As Doug says, it is unnatural to teach that "the world is round" as a part of basic education, even as a child.

As she was talking, Princess Levia appeared behind Vandaloo and opened her mouth.

"No, the world should not be from a different world. The world was also written as a sphere in the part of the temple of Tarosheim, which was the creation of a mythological lithograph world. "

"... boy, it's a temple that the Lord has fixed."

"I fixed it about nine years ago. [Complete recording] did not exist at the time, but thanks to Princess Levia, why everyone knows that the world is round, I'm pretty sure it's not settled as

This Lambda is clearly different from the Earth because in Lambda there are gods before humans. And for a while after the gods created humans, there was a God-era in which the gods taught and guided humans on earth and lived together.

The gods were still young and did not teach techniques and wisdom that were too young for immature humans to use, such as attacking magic that was too powerful to use for hunting, and how to make torture tools that would cause deep physical and mental damage.

But he would have taught about the shape of the world. The world is round.

Or perhaps the people at the time realized themselves while learning from the gods.

The goddess of map, Warn Liza, is a subordinate god of Zuluwan, the god of space and creativity, and currently a patron deity of the state of Higoblin. She would have given those people knowledge of surveying and taught how to draw maps.

In any case, the people of this world knew that the world was round before the heroes came from another world. The world at that time had no dangerous monsters, no nations, and the relationship between the gods who were all over the people was much more modest than it is now. The journey would have been much safer.

However, the battle with the Demon King, led by Demon King Gudranis, has changed the world.

The terrain changed as a result of the fierce battle, and the map before the demon kings appeared was inaccurate. In addition, magical areas where dangerous monsters nest, magical seas, magical sky, etc., occur. Some continents, such as the entire continent has become a magical boundary, also exist.

After losing power after the battle with the Demon King and the battle between Vida and Arda, the gods of the Ardas have left the ground and are in the sanctuary. Vida gods were also trapped inside the border mountains and on parts of the Demon Continent.

We are not in a state where we can teach people about the geography of the world.

Humans would not have been able to travel long distances on their own or to conduct surveys over a wide area. Indeed, the continent was considered undeveloped in human society until the arrival of the Storm of Violence, led by Schneider of the Thunderstorm.

It is not a situation where you can make a world map or lambda rite.

And now, many ordinary people end their lives in and around the towns and villages where they were born and raised. Few people live in a way that travels repeatedly over long distances. The geographical knowledge they need is minimal.

Therefore, the knowledge that "the world is round" remains, but it may have been a halfway situation that it has not been established as knowledge to the people who were taught.

Upon hearing the story of Vandalu, who guessed it, Darusians nodded.

"I knew it ... but what about it? It would be very difficult to measure a land equal to north and south."

The mystery was solved, but just because it was solved did not make it easy to unravel the oracle.

"I don't think there is a world map in the country of Hygoblin where Warn Liza is the patron deity. Warn Liza himself has not been outside the barrier for more than 100,000 years. ''

"How about asking Schneider? They made a round trip to the Demon Continent, so you should be able to measure to some extent from the stars, right? Maybe a clue.

You don't know Gufadogan?

Princess Levia and Olbia, who appeared after her, suggested so, and then asked Gufadgan.

"Sorry, not in my knowledge"

But Gufadogan shook his head. She is the only Vida god who has traveled out of the Boundary Mountains and into the dungeons of The Trial of Zaccato. However, during that time she concentrated on managing the dungeon, so she seemed to be less conscious of what the outside geography would be like.

"If I could better understand the goddess, I would have received the oracle in a more understandable way!"

"No, don't worry, Juliana. Probably you don't need to measure so strictly north and south. The other clue," Just a bad chin, "is a landmark that measures finer places. I guess.

Perhaps it points to a terrain shaped like a beast's jaw, an oddly shaped and poisonous valley, a valley or a cave entrance. In any case, it should be noticeable. ''

"The oracle is a mystery, but it should not mean that Peria-sama is also mean and obscure. I guess it's the form that Juliana received, trying to make it as easy to understand as possible. "

Zadiris and Princess Levia are comforting Juliana, who says so. Vandalou put his hand on her shoulder and said,

"Yes, you don't have to worry. Nobody can talk to God from the beginning. I've been around for about eight years since I was born."

It was at the age of eight that Vandaloo first encountered the god, The Five Evil Dragons, Fidirug, and had a conversation. … By the way, I first ate the evil god about a year ago when I was seven years old.

"... Teacher. I wonder if it's a good idea to join Juliana with me."

Natania was half-eyed and said, but Vandaloo couldn't understand what she wanted to say.

"Well, isn't it true that you're eight years old and you can't necessarily talk to God? Let's aim for Juliana, Rank 13 or higher. Will be. "

"Yes I will try my best!"

Juliana made her eyes shine and nodded immediately. However, rank 13 is not an area that can be reached by aiming. It's not an area ...

"I feel like I can do my best around the van."

"Yes, I was Rank 4 when I first met Van, but now I'm 12 like my moms."

There were no ranks, but Pouvina, who had high-ranking monsters such as Lapiesage and Yamata, and Basdia, who had reached rank 12, nodded.

And those who have roots in the new demons of Vida have jobs as well as ranks. Considering that he has been double-adjusted for growth and skill correction, Basdia should have already outperformed Rank 13 demons.

If she is now she would be fine to meet Fidirug directly.

"So, it's the" Jaw with a disgusting color ... "

"For the time being, why don't you get on your dad and look for a place where everyone is likely to be? If you're a father now, it's faster than migratory birds!

"Because you can dive into the subspace when it happens, it is safe to encounter demons by accident"

Rita and Thalia's father, Sam, is a dimension road carriage. If you move on his bed, you will be able to get behind the star as fast and safely as they say.

"That's why it's called by the Duke of Al Krem to the city. I want Sam to be near me."

"Um, Van? Are you intending to do business from the oracle and the Duke at the same time?"

"Isn't it okay for you to postpone?"

Talea and Basdia show a disturbed appearance by Vandaloo. In the Orbaum royal kingdom, the duke that governs each duke territory has equal power to the king of a small country. Putting other requirements above the Duke's will is unlikely.

However, the story is different if it is an oracle given by the goddess. In particular, Darussia is called the Virgin or the Virgin, and Vandalu herself is the "Patron Saint of Transformation Brace".

Speaking of an oracle, even the Duke cannot do nothing.

"And the Duke and Guild headquarters aren't going to have to go right away, because only Vandaloo should have a ride on Bachem's Wyvern.

You should have at least two weeks to walk from this town to the capital. "

That's what Darussia says. In the last two weeks, you just need to find the place designated by the oracle, and head to the capital by Legion or Gufadogan [Transfer].

This is no problem since the Dukes do not know that there are [transitions] in the Vandaloos.

But, Vandaloo shook his head.

"Maybe it's not going to happen easily at the oracle's command, so I think it's better to keep the dukes away.

And while the oracle may fight for a year and two, it is not a matter of fighting for a moment. Well, this is when I go to the temple and ask the gods directly. Even if you are not the oracle, you can listen to various stories. ''

"……so. By the way, what do you want to ask ... what is in the barrel?

The legion, which had been lying just like a piece of meat, wriggles and asked, so he answered, preparing a glass for each person.

"This is an instantaneous mechanism that generates carbon dioxide and produces carbonated water. You need to taste it before you can make it as a souvenir.

Let's have a tasting party. ''

Based on recipes learned from God of the Earth, a cola prototype made with caramel made from gehenabie honey and blended with several herbs and fruits to make the taste look good is served to everyone. It was.

That night, Tarosheim exclaimed. To celebrate the return of the emperor for his purpose, he praised the result of defeating Fitin, a thundercloud god who specializes in combat, among the gods who follow his enemy, the god of law, Alda.

He also welcomed the growing influence in human society, the growing presence of nobles, and the addition of new friends.

There was a parade, a variety of dishes, and people from all races. It is said that its size was several times as lively as what was done in the town of Moxy.

"Giiiiiiiiiii ~"

At midnight that day, a boat sailed from the Tarosheim canal. This is the ghost ship, Quattro, built by Vandalu assembling several shipwrecks.

A large ghost ship, rarely seen in the "Lambda" world, was expanding its sails and heading south.

"A bastard! It is a departure order from your Majesty after a long absence from Demon Continent for over a year! Energy and tears!

"Yesser, captain!

"However, this mission is only reconnaissance and preview. You have to act quietly so that you don't notice. Did you understand?

"Okay, captain."

Four Dead Sea Sea Captains in command of the Quattro, and their dead seafarers. Except for the noises they make, you can only hear the wind.

What, the Quattro was flying in the sky.

"This is a real airship! Moreover, it is definitely higher than the airship of the world where His Majesty the Emperor and the brave came! We have surpassed another world!

One of the sailors talks to the captain of the former Mageboat, who overtakes the saber and wins.

"But, Captain, Doug's story is that an airship in a different world is a vehicle with a big bag on the roof, not a flying ship."

"Um! It has a structure that obviously has mobility problems! In addition, it seems that it will crash just by opening a hole in the bag! Obviously our Quattro is superior!

"No, I guess what I want to say is something like a comparison ... no, it's already good, yes"

The crew noticed that the captain of the former mage was just high, and gave up Tsukkomi and moved away from him.

However, it is clear that the Quattro has actually set itself apart from ordinary ghost ships.

Some time ago, she met Sam, who trained, and as a result, she was able to fly. As a result, the number of weak points increased, such as the occurrence of blind spots that are directly below the structure, but the range of action was expanded at a stretch.

And mobility. Until now, the Quattro was able to navigate the sea on its own in the absence of wind, but the sky is clearly faster in the sea and sky.

As expected, Sam is not fast enough to run in the sky.

"But you have to watch out for sudden battles with demons. We must be vigilant of the raids of the hands of the gods, albeit with little possibility. '

One of the last captains of the Dead Sea Captain, the captain of the sailboat, supervises the inspection of weapons himself. The Quattro is equipped with a barista, a giant crossbow that shoots a giant arrow that can also shoot dragons. In addition, a new artillery was built with Doug and others.

The gunpowder is stored in a waterproof magic item to prevent it from getting wet with water.

And the Quattro and the captains and the sailors themselves are reasonably high undead. When you first arrived on the Demon Continent, you needed to be led by a bone man and his rider, Dragon Zombie Rio, but now you can cope with the monsters that you suddenly encountered.

However, if an incarnate god or hero, such as Hajime Fitun, or a hero with God's blessing, appears, it is no wonder.

"I asked at that time, Michael. And the Knights of the Dark Night "

"Leave it to you"

"Oh! At that time, the Imperial Majesty's dog indicates that he is above the god's running dog!

"GOA ...!

For that purpose, Michael of "Hikami Spear" and the Dark Night Knights, composed of zombie giants made from vampire corpses and vampire corpses, were on board.

With them, the gods will be able to fight off heroes and their fellow heroes.

"But, captain, we're ready for an emergency. Basically, don't forget that it's an escape. "

However, it will not fight if there is an enemy of the same level as Hajime Fitun's strength. Therefore, basically, in an emergency, they call Vandaloos, and they have the means to [transfer] and escape.

"I know. Of course, the gods won't even notice us. "

The gods are much less omnipotent than humans think. They can only see the earth directly from the sanctuary, much above the clouds, or only through the eyes of believers.

It is unlikely that you will notice the Quattro sailing aboard a storm from the southernmost mermaid land inside the border mountain range, where no members of the gods of the Ardas exist.

And it is unlikely that a ship from a country of human society will notice this ship moving through the dark night.

"But it can happen. Don't be alert-- ''

"The guys are sunrise! Get ready! Carry your cargo into the cabin so that it is not drowned in the sea!

As Michael cautioned, the horizon began to whitish. The sunrise time has come. At the same time, the sailors begin to move fast.

Carry the barista's arrows and gunpowder on board and quickly fold the sails.

"Sora go, start the dive!

Then, the Quattro, under the command of "Captain of the Dead Sea," began a dive with the bow facing the sea. The still dark sea surface approached the bow and collided with large splashes of water. The quattro sank from the bow at once .... Dive to a depth that was invisible from the surface of the sea, the bow returned to horizontal.

"Dive until the sun goes down! Husband ! While the quattro prevents some water flow, it is not perfect, so be careful not to drop it!

The captain of the former pirate ship advises while leaking air remaining in the skull from the orbit.

Yes, the Quatro is a ghost ship that can not only dive but also dive.

No matter how far you fly, the Quattro can't fly higher than the clouds, so other ships may find it unobstructed in the daytime. However, you will never notice it in the sea.

It is very unlikely that the gods will detect the Quattro in the sky at night and in the sea at the expense of speed during the day.

"At that time I would swim on my own. Let's take care of the legendary sea monster around the land indicated by the oracle. ''

However, it is no wonder that the hands of the gods are watching around the land of the oracle, where the goddess is sealed off.

Having found such a place, the Quattro was to wait in the sea.

"Then, is the enemy anyway a legendary sea monster? It seems that all the sailors who witnessed are so terrifying that there are mysterious monsters that go crazy, and that the ships they encounter are huge monsters that can sink any boat, but are they really deep?

"However, no matter how terrible he looks, it's like a kitten compared to the Majesty the Emperor! And we're already under the sea!

"Hahaha! No! When the legendary sea monster comes out, let's drop it into three pieces and use it as a curry ingredient!

"... Why curry?

"In any case, in a different world, a good ship has jinx that curry is delicious."

Those who have noticed its existence have lost much of their insane fear, and the ghost ship Quattro, which would have drowned any boat into sea debris if it stood, calm down the dark sea.

A big city with a population of one million. He is from a small mountain village and is a big city that he cannot imagine.

Even though he says he hasn't entered the town yet, even looking at the wall seems to be overwhelming.

"... Fufufu"

In front of a long line of people waiting to enter the city, he was introverted and couldn't stop shaking. I'm sorry. He was about to shake his finger, so he made a fist and squeezed strongly to show no more pity.

"Alcrem. Our destination."

My sister's voice is shaking, but it's no wonder. He is more shy than he, and slightly male phobia. She is about to drop from anxiety, but her roots are strong and she is looking straight at the city.

"... the goddess ... the oracle"

His childhood friend, a dwarf sorcerer, is muttering with a slapstick and opening his eyes with a pale face. It seems that the fatigue of the first long journey and the impact of the poisonous herb mixed with wild plants have not yet been eliminated.

I want to get an inn for him as soon as possible ...

"Um, everyone. Why are you like that ... what are you suspicious of ?! The people around you are very scared !?"

A recently added fourth companion, archer and bandit Miriam, appealed with a crying face.

"Are you scared?"

The leader of the party, Arthur, a large man with long dark hair and a spooky shadow on a deeply carved face, looks back to Miriam with a distorted face and grunting voice.

"Who are we? Who are you?"

Callina, an Arthur's younger sister who has no eye-catching beauty except black hair, cast a sharp glance around her.

"Baboon, say something weird."

A bald, slim dwarf Borzofoy with an open eye smiles sickly.

"That's why your attitude looks scary and suspicious!"

And Miriam looks like a novice adventurer who just came out of the countryside, I can not think of those three friends.

Needless to say, the four of them were stopped by guards to enter the Al Krem city, the capital of the Duke of Al Krem, and were asking for questions many times longer than usual.
