The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 248: Relatively Decent Skill of the Reincarnation
Vidal Demon Empire. The name of the new country proposed by Vandaloo and others was accepted by almost everyone.
"I was expecting that it would be more resistant than when I built the giant statue, but that day I will be approved to change to a new country! Now, let's go through the process and prepare for the ceremony before your Majesty changes!
"It was earlier than I thought. I was convinced that I would do some protest for a while."
It seems that Cesare and Kurt accepted the reason not for the new country itself, but for what he had proposed.
For them, the name of the new country was not important.
Of course, many people welcomed the new country in the correct sense. After all, it seemed good to get the names Vida and Vandalu.
And those who were a little nervous before accepting were also reasons not related to the new country name.
"Why are there no tournaments? I'm not convinced!"
"Dad, don't tell yourself! You're drunk!"
Iris scolds the spoiling Godwin, but the effect seems to be poor because of the sake.
"So, let's all work together instead. Please be convinced."
"Is it true? I was interested in how strong I was at defeating the war god!"
"Oh, that looks interesting!
"Uoooooo! All the free guys gather!
For some reason Volks and Vigaro also joined, Battle Royal Kumite. Everyone has bare hands, but every time a fist hits, a shock wave is generated, and a fierce battle in which afterimages distract the eyes of the audience.
During that time, the process of renaming proceeded quietly, and Talosheim was documented as Talosheim, the capital of the Vidal Empire.
The winner of the Battle Royale was Braga.
"Everyone is too warlike. If the strong guys crush each other, Battle Royale won't win. King is too shy."
"Because [The Demon King's Fragment] and [Soul Extermination] are not suitable for Kumite."
However, the ceremony to celebrate the renaming of the country will be at a later date. Preparations were not being made, as they had just completed the victory parade the day before and everyone expected Vandaloo to stay for months or years anyway.
Therefore, the ceremony was to be held in conjunction with the ceremony for the completion of the giant deities.
The construction of a cola manufacturing plant by Golem is still in the planning stage. Golems can move with the power of Vandaloo, but cannot be increased like a machine. Once created, you need to command and master the actions you need.
This is a particular problem with the Vandalu golem, which uses the mineral humanoid as a substitute for the corpse.
However, using magic and spirits, a method of creating carbonic acid-rich cola was established.
"I knew about carbon dioxide at Kanako's [Venus] ... but it's hard to extract just that."
"It may be easier to manipulate liquid with [fluid operation]"
Zadiris collects carbon dioxide in the air using wind magic, and Olbia manipulates the liquid.
You can't make as much as a golem factory, but this will allow you to secure enough to drink.
The rest was surgery for Celis and Vestra, but they didn't do it this time because they seemed uneasy about the surgery, so they decided only to prepare the skin and blood potion to be transplanted after seeing the condition of the burn. .
In the meantime, they were given guidance to hear from the vampires, who were the original abyss, not from Belmond, who had experienced surgery.
The Elpels were eager to understand that they wouldn't be afraid to become abyss, and that they wouldn't be sorry.
The rest was to make artifacts that contained the spirits of the gods, but because of the lack of time, he returned to the town of Moxy and prepared to head to Al Krem, the territory of the Duke of Al Krem.
[Ability Strengthening: Reign], [Ability Strengthening: Faith] Skill level has been increased!
[Enhanced ability: Vidal Demon Empire] acquired the skill!
"So a horse, not a carriage?"
The Vandaloos returned to the town of Moxy at Gfadgarn's [relocation], and in order to prepare, they consulted Edmund, a peddler, for a horse.
Edmond was approached and had a slightly embarrassed face. He told me that the next day and two days after receiving the medal, Vandalou, who seemed to heal his tiredness at home, came suddenly and tried to buy a horse that was not a product he was mainly dealing with, so it was impossible. Absent.
"Yes, at least one horse, and preferably three horses. Of course, this does not mean that you should bring in the horses used by your caravans."
Edmund is a peddler with no fixed stores, but is the head of the Edmund firm that moves from town to town with a caravan of about ten carriages. In addition to horse-drawn carriages, there are dozens of horses, including escorts and spare horses.
But it's not a commodity, but a means of transportation that Edmonds and others need to keep their business.
"It's a good thing, but it's a matter of luck to get a horse in the next few days. If you wait for the market next month, you should get a good horse ... You may only be able to collect.
Is there a problem with hiring a carriage with everybody? "
Some of the Tamer Guilds have no fixed employer. It is not a monster but a horse that draws a carriage, but it is strong and has good stamina. And his arms are certain. Guild union members Vandalu have connections, and they should be able to hire as long as they have the money.
But they say they don't.
"Yes, my Vandalu and my follower's Fang are shy.
Edmund recalls Darusia's gently smiling words with a sticky smile.
"Your son is shy and you know the carriage and the rider but you don't have a horse?"
Vandalou conveyed the request to Edmond in a calm tone without breaking his expression next to Darussia. He didn't seem to Edmond very shy.
"Yes, I don't have a horse alone. I can get Fang and Marols to pull the carriage, but if they can't move out of the carriage, they'll hinder the guards along the way."
Edmund shouted, "Don't you lie!" In particular, it's a lie that your son is shy.
"I see. It's a way to make the guards on the road a tamed monster. You'll have a lot of mobility, and you'll be safe even if a bandit on a horse attacks you."
However, Edmund did not question Vandaloo. He is a merchant, not a journalist. It is not the truth but the profit that we seek.
Finding the secrets of the Vandaloos will definitely benefit. However, Edmond realized that he was not trusted. If you try to find out now, you will be cut off.
Secrets should not be known until eventually a confidential relationship can be established. So Edmond restrained himself.
…… It is true that Vandaloo is shy.
"It's okay with a donkey. If you're trained to pull a car, the people we hire will be able to work without problems."
And the carriage and the person whom the Bandarloos are aware of are, of course, Sam, a dimension load carriage that is undead because the spirit is possessed by the carriage.
I want to use various convenient Sam as a means of transportation to go to Al Krem. But it has a big problem. Sam's body is the carriage itself, and the figure of the man sitting on the platform and the three horses pulling the carriage are all part of Sam.
The appearance of the man on the pedestal is the same as that of Sam before his life, except that his skin is pale and has no blood and he has red eyes. If you are wearing a hat, you will be misled.
However, horses are more difficult. A pale horse with red eyes like blood does not breathe and cannot feel its body temperature even when touched. It would be a big problem if you noticed that the horse was not breathing at the gatekeepers of this town and the town of Al Krem, and that there was no temperature.
So they needed a living horse to pretend to be dragging a carriage.
Any damas, or even donkeys, were fine. The wagon, which is Sam, can turn the wheels on its own without being pulled by something. All you need to do is fix the appearance.
"Hmm, I don't know how much the carriage is, but ... don't you think any donkey would be too heavy to pull? Anyway, if it's a cart you use for stocking."
But as Edmond pointed out, donkeys couldn't seem to improve their style. As you can see, the sight of a donkey drawing Sam, a three-wheeled carriage, should look strange to many people.
"Once again, let's get a spare horse for my caravan. Please rest assured that it's only a spare to sell and will not affect the peddling."
"Well, I can't do that. Selling spare horses to us is bad if there's something."
"No, I don't care about" whatever happens. "We are dealing with our customers with sincerity and sincerity.
"Well. I think it was only a month since you brought me that story."
"Hahaha. From that one, I'm like," Replace your heart. "
"That's a good thing, but I will withhold it. If anything happens, it's bad."
Edmund suddenly asks him to make use of his horse in his caravans, and Darussia fixes it.
Edmund plans to lend to Vandalu by lending their horses. Whatever he says is not a flexible horse. That means that even if Edmonds who have horses are inconvenient, they may feel inconvenient.
If Vandaloo later knew it, he read that he shouldn't be bothered by his personality.
"Dulcia reads and affirms these thoughts of the kid."
Vandaluo nodded, "I see." I think that a merchant is something to think about.
"Is it possible to find a sick or injured horse or an old horse? I will buy it at the same price as a normal horse."
During the negotiations between Darussia and Edmond, Vandalou whispered, and Edmond withdrew his idea of accommodating his horse, saying, "If you say that much."
"But if you need a horse so far, you might want to take the horse out of bandits, and why not try to take on the horse monster?"
"Mr. Edmond, I rarely see bandits in this area. Later, there aren't many horse demons around here."
Instead, his exclusive escort Rodriguez, a former B-class adventurer, shuts his mouth to the proposal he had spoken.
As he said, security around the town of Moxy has recently recovered dramatically. …… by the Ninja squadron of Braga and Black Goblin, ordered by Vandalu. As a result, bandits rarely appear.
And to try the horse demons, there weren't many horse demons around here. There are Shine horses that are timid but have the magic of light, and when they encounter an external enemy, they dazzle with light and try to escape into that gap.
"That's true, but if you're a Vanderlu-savvy tamer, can you take it easy?"
"No, it's difficult. Tamers aren't liked by all demons. They just taste good monsters and work well with them. I'm no exception."
I had encountered the Shine Horse before when I went to the Makai to hunt skewers, but ... it was hopelessly incompatible with Vandaloo.
There was absolutely no appearance of a time.
"I see .. Isn't a good tamer who is not a tamper with many kinds of monsters, but a man who can get along well with monsters that go well together?
Now, let's talk to your acquaintance. Please wait a moment"
Edmond then brought a story to an acquaintance's merchants opening a shop in the city, and immediately glanced at one of the horses, probably because of the exceptional conditions proposed by Vandaloo.
"Our horse is the one I can introduce right away. He said he was going to let go after the current business."
An old horse tethered to the stables in the guided stable is quietly staring at the Vandaloos. He and Marols nodded with satisfaction.
"It's a bit daring to look back and keep your eyes on you. Experienced horses are a must."
"" "Chuchu" ""
"Vandaloo, I think I'm just scared. It's a bit rough."
The old horse instinctively realized the threat of the demons, Marols, and could only move with fear. … By the way, Fang was waiting outside because he was too big to enter the stables.
The old horse might have panicked if he had come to Fang.
Vandalu reached out to such an old horse.
"Oh, it's dangerous, you'll bite your hand!"
The seller's man shouts, but the old horse, frozen in fear, couldn't afford to bite Vandalu's hand.
He repeats a rough breath, staring at his white hand on his chin with bloodshot eyes.
"It looks like this horse goes better with me than Shine Horse. It's so quiet."
As he was stroked by Vandalu's hand, the old horse's breathing became calm and his gaze calmed down. It was as if the carnivorous beast had bitten the throat, realizing the fate of death and giving up on life.
"Huh?-Was he such a friendly person?-Well, it would be good because if you could get a good one, it would be better for the person you would like.
By the way, is it really OK to sell at the same price as a young horse? As you can see, she is thin, she has no hair and looks bad. Moreover, both horsepower and physical strength are lower than young horses. ''
"Yes, it's okay. He'll be good with us. Do you have a name?"
"No, I haven't heard anything since I bought it a few years ago."
Vandalu nodded, looking up at the mane of an old horse with a bad coat and a little baldness.
"Now, let's name it Mene."
Vandalu named the mane in the word "Origin" the name of the old horse.
Rhodocorte, waking up from a faint, was worried while resuming Edgar's treatment.
(Now that the Murakami have disappeared, no reincarnates have killed Vandaloo according to my instructions ... what can I do?)
Rhodocorte has a greater power to transmigrate the world. You can reincarnate in other worlds, give the body of an adult at that time, or give special abilities-so-called "cheat abilities".
However, living humans cannot do so. It is impossible to disregard a person's will and force them to obey orders.
You can order in the form of an oracle, but ... you really just order. Even if you command "kill Vandaloo," it is ignored because the recipient is not willing to do so because he has no force.
Murakami had prepared for the fourth reincarnation as a reward, so they followed Rodcorte's request ... but for reincarnates who are not fascinated by the fourth reincarnation, it has no meaning.
So he has already refused his request and cannot use the remaining reincarnates to kill Vandaloo.
(Asagi Minami is cautious about Vandaloo but doesn't seem to intend to kill him yet. I left him thinking that he would cut his power ... Is there no point to make it fight?)
Asagi who are conducting research on [Shards of the Demon King] have yet to produce results. Well, we have achieved results other than research, such as newly sealing the runaway [Shard of the Demon King], but still our current ability is lower than Murakami.
The number is three like Murakami and others. Fighting Vandaloo will only return.
(In that case, there is no choice but to wait for the new reincarnate to die in Origin and reincarnate in Lambda ...)
Unfortunately, there is no sign.
Rhodocorte has no power to blow out the flames of candles that indicate its life or to force a truck accident to kill a living person. Whether it's an accident, sickness, or murder, whatever it takes, you have to wait to die.
At Origin, the battle between Bravers and Eighth Guidance has now ended, and a seemingly peaceful state continues. [Avalon] 's Rokudo-sei seems to be in a plot while continuing to study the death attribute, but Rodcorte saw that the effects would still appear shortly.
I tried to keep the reincarnates from dying easily, but I didn't think it would be an enemy.
"Even if you tell them to kill each other in the oracle, probably no one will follow. Is it the same even if you tell her to commit suicide? If she has a metamorphosis, she may want to follow her ... No, it's not good news in the current situation. "
It is better to have a debilitating death. With that in mind, I look roughly at the incarnated people, but none of them seem to die soon.
At this time, Rhodocorte was only a quick glance, so he did not try to find out more about the condition and background of those who were protected by Vandaloo, such as Metamol and Druid.
Furthermore, since he was only interested in reincarnated people, he did not intend to investigate Hiroshi Amamiya and Hades' siblings.
If I had checked it then, it would have been terribly troublesome.
The reason he can't go directly is not only Lambda but also Origin.
(St. Rokudo is doing an unsightly study, but he can't get the death attribute. It's good, but there's still time before he starts moving.
No way, I can't wait for the reincarnations to kill each other and the resulting dead ...)
Reincarnates can send messages in the form of oracles, but no one dies saying, "Die fast." If you pretend to be the voice of the Almighty God, you will be able to guide it well.
Conversely, you may be distrusted and be in trouble when the reincarnates die.
That being said, it is unbearable to just look at your finger. So Rodcorte considered two strategies. Both are what he can do now.
One is to create a new reincarnation. There is no time to prepare a new cheat ability, but again the `` Earth '' and `` Origin '' including `` Lambda '' who appeared in the world where he is in charge of reincarnation, the dead who are likely to be the force to kill Vandaloo again Send it to Lambda.
(But I can't afford to gain experience across another world like Hiroto Amamiya. I have to be someone already strong in my first life. It is troublesome.
A reincarnation from a world with no status, no skills, no magic, like Earth, would not be able to beat Vandaloo or his subordinates.
"Lambda" is a world where you can defeat a rank 3 monster, a so-called grizzly bear, a so-called grizzly, with swords and spears, if you are a man with the same level of motor skills. . Even a genius martial artist in the world like Earth, Lambda is as good or less than a mediocre adventurer.
Even if you give birth to reincarnation and strengthen it, considering that Murakami did not compete with Vandaloo for more than a year, it would be impossible to train for a considerable amount of time.
There are other worlds, such as the Origin where magic exists, and some worlds where status and skills exist, in which Rodcorte is in charge of reincarnation. If you can send those who are strong in those worlds as reincarnates, you may have a chance.
"But there can never be a world where the strong enough to compete with the Vandaloos die frequently"
The strongest person in the world cannot die for good. This has to wait for the time to come, but it can distract you from helplessness.
"But, distractions do not change the current situation. Again, another measure ... Is it realistic to give blessings to the heroes trained by the gods of the Arda faction? "
The blessing of the gods has the effect of alleviating the height of the so-called "growth wall" and shortening the time when it is difficult to raise the level in "Lambda". Rodcorte's blessing is no exception.
"By giving my blessings to the heroes of the gods of the Ardas, the heroes are further strengthened. You could then lend them to them and ask them to give blessings to those who relocated to Lambda in the near future.
Unlike cheat ability, blessing only gives the power of God. I can give dozens of blessings. …… I need to devise something so that it does n’t look like I was eating the soul of Murakami. ”
The worst situation where dozens of hero souls are eaten by Vandalu at a time is hard to imagine ... but not without.
You should magically create angels or spirits that act as alter egos to provide blessing and take damage in the event of an incident. But before that, there are steps you need to take.
"Before that, is it necessary to negotiate to give blessings to the heroes and get them to know my existence?"
It is God's authority to provide blessing, but humans who do not know God's existence cannot be blessed. Rhodocorte is known as the enemy of Vandaloo in the Vidal Democratic Empire, but has no reputation in human society.
To provide blessing, the heroes need to be known through the gods of the Ardas.
"You may be told something about Hajime Inui, but that is also the work of the Thundercloud God on Arda's side. And if you say something, "It's not the case you're just saying what's gone now," or "you should work together to overcome the differences in doctrines," you'll be fooled.
They must also be afraid of Vandaloo and want power. '
Preparations from the town of Morksey to Al Krem, the territory of the Duke of Al Krem, have been completed except for one.
There was no problem registering commercial guilds, and adventurer and magician guilds. He was wary of the Duke of Hartner, but there were no events involving thug adventurers in the town.
However, the adventurer's guild was grade F because the adventurer's school was put on hold. According to Belard, the chief of the branch of a slightly larger town cannot bend the rule that a minor must be out of an adventurer's school to be promoted to a class E or higher.
"I know you have E-class or better, or even B-grade or better. I know ... there are rules that cannot be broken as long as you are an organization.
And at our adventure school, you're pretty much left. After that, talk to the Master of the Guild HQ of the Adventurers of Al Krem. ''
"No, I don't care because I'm going to school. And even if I can't get a dangerous request in the adventurer's guild, I can go into the magical area and dungeons."
Veranda replied to Verard, who said sorrowfully. He doesn't think he often learns at adventure schools.
However, for institutional problems, I thought I should just enroll to work in human society, earn credits, and graduate in a short period of time.
In the meantime, you can do various things at the same time, such as doing missionary activities in human society, secretly returning to the Vidal Demon Empire with [Transfer], exploring the trend of Heinz and others coming back.
And there's the possibility of meeting up-and-coming talent at adventure schools.
So I don't think it's a waste of time.
There are many other things, such as meetings with the stall owners on Vida Street, the purchase of goods by Vandalou while the absences are being made, and the guardian guard staff including orphanages. …… I do not forget to set up a Demon King in a company building or orphanage that is secretly guarded by Hunger Wolf.
After ...
"Whether a dungeon has appeared at the magical area near the town, and if so, is it an internal investigation?"
"If you were attacked by a monster swarm of that size, it would be normal to think that a dungeon had appeared ..."
A dungeon runaway caused by Hajime Fitun. Count Moxie commissioned a survey of the dungeons used by nominating Kanako, Melissa, Doug, and Simon and Natania.
"Usually, would such a request be given to a C-class or a higher-class B adventurer? I wonder why he appointed us a D-class. Well, I know the answer."
"Oh, I know. I can't appoint an F-class Vandaloo or a non-adventurer Darussia, so I just asked my acquaintances."
"Don't be sorry. From the Earl's point of view, I think it's inevitable to submit a request for investigation. You may think that the skills of the Kanakos are above D-class."
So calming the Kanakos, the Vandaloos enrolled in the Tamar Guild, and the next day, they had Mene, who had been a rank 2 Lesser Evil Horse, draw Sam and head to the Makai.
○ Skill description: Ability enhancement: Vidal Demon Empire
Ability values while inside the territory controlled by the Vidal Empire, with the people, when in government or military service as an emperor, when doing something for the benefit or security of the empire. Skills that will be enhanced.
○ Demon explanation: Lesser Mama
A monster whose horse has become a monster. It has a rank of 2, and small horses such as ponies and older horses are the monsters.
Horses with high physical abilities, such as war horses, almost become rank 3 evil horses, and occasionally transform into horse-shaped monsters of other races.
