The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

"A bridge to Vida?

The story of the three gods of Bashas was surprising to Bandarou.

Although it is a vandaloo who knows directly from the gods that do not match the image held by the gods, such as Gufadogan and Fidirug, etc. that deviate from the image of evil gods in various ways, Zuluwan looking forward to curry and cola, etc. However, the gods who give to the "Homei god" Arda did not break the old impression.

Self-righteous, saying that repression and persecution of anything that violates his doctrine is good. Vandalu recognized the gods of the Ardas, as if they were a real example of God's bad image.

It was a battle with the God of Records, Cyratos, and the God of Thundercloud, Fitun, which turned bad but did not turn around.

That's why I was surprised and puzzled by the words of Bashas.

"I understand that there is no hostility, unlike Fitun, and I don't think I'm lying. But why would you want to be a Vida until you betray the Holy God Arda?

Because he didn't know what the Bashas were thinking.

I can tell from the atmosphere that they are somehow influenced by their guidance. I understand, but I don't think it's a good idea to just be "guided".

When asked, Bashas did not show any particular ill feeling. On the contrary, it looks relieved.

…… In the worst case, the situation was worthy of relief, as they weren't even heard from Vandalu and thought they could be killed.

"Of course I answer. The reason we want to turn to Vidaism, betraying their respective gods, such as Nine Lord and Arda. that is……"

Bashas replied, pointing a dim, greasy glance through the gap in her bangs to Vandaloo.

"Because I was looking at the picture drawn on the building in that town and looking at it, I was attracted to you."

And a while passed.

"……that's all? Not because you can't keep up with Arda's thinking these days, you've been cold-hearted, you've been thinking close to the Vida for a long time, or you woke up in the recent incident of Fitun. ?

Asking Bashas, who doesn't talk about it at all, repeatedly, in deep confusion, they nodded, "Yes," and stepped forward one step closer to Vandaloo.

"Yes. I used to be a wind attribute, so I didn't have much to do with Arda before, and I was discovered by Nine Road, but I wasn't special. Cold treatment ... I think it was done, but it may not have been.

And since I started seeing the pictures on Tarosheim, I was thinking of turning to Vida and sacrificing under you. "

"We are the subordinate gods of Arda-sama ... I guess he was cold-hearted, but he didn't care because his original characteristics as a god are characteristics."

"Zelzeria is a dark night, I am a shadow. It doesn't have a glorious history like Fitun, so it's inevitable that the shadows are thin. '

The gods of the Bashas and the Three Pillars were not well-reputed among the gods of the Ardaites because of their governing and divine nature.

If you call Niltak, the god of condemnation, or Fitin, the god of thunderclouds, Bashas are shady.

Few temples are enshrined on their own, and in many cases reliefs and statues are placed as pillars of the subordinates of the temples that honor Nine Road and Arda. Naturally, the number of followers is small.

However, he was not persecuted. However, the gods have a role to play, and in the case of the Bashas, that role was not suitable for being active on the stage.

The three gods were so convinced that they had never complained about their position.

And, of course, the former humans Bashas and Zelzelia, as well as Hamul, who sublimated to God from the angels created by Alda, never questioned the teachings, values, and standards of good and evil that Aldas preach.

The three-pronged god spoke at a glance, without giving the timing for Vandalu to pinch his mouth.

If you look at it ... Perhaps Zurwan, you might have noticed that today's Bashas are like a temper, when someone who isn't used to talking is suddenly talked to by someone they like.

"It's not just that there was no doubt."

"Are you in doubt?

"It may be trivial in itself. It may be our indiscretion ... or our vision is narrow. There is no direct connection with this opinion.

Still ask?

"I want to hear if I can speak. It will help you know what God you are. '

Vandaloo was a bit confused by the tension of Bashas, but he didn't think he was offended. He was a little happy to know that the Aldaite gods also had gods like them, and did not intend to cut the conversation short.

He knows all about the gods. Vidas, Ardas, and evil gods, not only names but also qualities of known gods such as Fidirug, Zozogante, and Gufadgan.

However, they know little about Bashas. Zelseria and Hamul are even first names. Because he was a young god who reached God after the battle 100,000 years ago, little was known of the Vida gods, and Rikrent and Zuluwan had never met.

Therefore, we need to know them before deciding whether to accept or reject the bridge.

"Then ... you may have already guessed, but in recent years, among the gods of the Alda faction, Alda has instructed blessed and active humans who are capable. To raise a hero to defeat you ”

"Well, I'm sure."

Until then, they were just guards and ordinary adventurers, but suddenly, with the protection of the gods of the Ardas, they are called active heroes or hero candidates that they could not have thought of before The rumors of young people have been heard by Vandaloo.

I knew that it was Arda's scheme ... probably to defeat him. Until now, there have been countless believers who have been blessed by God.

However, it is unnatural to get more than ten blessings at the same time. It is natural to think that the gods are giving blessings for some purpose, unless they are the result of direct contact with God, as in Vandalu.

"In the scheme ... did Arda and others have doubts about the strategy?

It was Zelzeria, not Hamul, who spoke to answer that question.

"Yes. Because ... I felt like I had been ordered to train the believer as a soldier or assassin.

Blessing is the grace that God gives to believers and aid. A vicious war god, a god of justice fighting evil, a knight god, or a hero god, it is a good idea to bless believers and guide them to fight. Many believers will have the mission of God and will rejoice in honor.

But because many of our followers are different ... even if they are told to pick the prospect and guide them to fight ... "

Zelzeria's main followers are harlots and prostitutes, bards, healing pharmacists, and a small number of craftsmen who make bedding, and few have a connection with combat. In some cases, assassins and assassins are praying over the doctrine, but there is resistance to giving blessing to those who make them hero candidates.

Few believers in Bashas and Hamul live in battle, as do Zelizeria. Not at all, but quite a few. If you want to give blessing to that few, you don't have much.

Some believers who live a life unrelated to battle are unaware that their combat and magical talents are asleep. But giving them blessing and telling them to "fight with the Devil King Vandalu and do his best" is a terrible test of God.

Their doctrine does not particularly value non-violence, does not prohibit the use of weapons to defend itself, and teaches that standing up for justice is precious. But it doesn't value Valor.

'So at first I and Hamul did not choose a believer to be a hero candidate. We knew so few that we knew that other gods knew that we simply couldn't find a talented person, and we couldn't be blamed. '

"It may just have been forgotten."

That's Zelzeria and Hamul, but they should have given birth to Arthur's younger sister, Calinia, and her friend, Borzofoy. Then Bashas opened his mouth.

"... As Arda advocates, our question is small if it really is a crisis for the whole world. It may be an act that goes against contributing to the survival of the whole world, because it depends on your teachings.

At that time, I thought so, and blessed Arthur, a young man who was a huntsman in a remote village, but watched over without giving any specific instructions. As Arda advocates, Arthur would fight with other hero candidates on his own volition, even if I did not guide me in a world crisis. '

"So that's it. I understand your questions. '

His doctrine was inconsistent with Arda's operations. The Bashas' questions and answers were very positive for Vandaloo. …… including what is being targeted by the operation.

Bashas's judgment is just a rebellion, compared to an army or organization. But they are God, not people. Believers are not realities, but ideals, and should be guided by life.

It is up to humans to break or bend teachings with real problems. After the problem has been resolved, including the followers seeking forgiveness.

Of course, if the world is destroyed by it, there is no source or child, but Vandaloo thinks that the judgment must be made by the believer, and that it is enough for God to watch that judgment.

"Anyway, didn't the question have anything to do with this story?

"Yes. Seeing the picture drawn on Talosheim, I want to fold your knees and serve you. In other words, I wanted to turn to Vida, and I couldn't control it. ''

It didn't really matter.

`` I invited Zelzeria and Hamul, who all share the same thoughts, and asked Arthur to make contact at the Al Krem, where I heard you were going. ''

"And I gave blessing to Callinia and Hamul to Borzofoy."

"Because we were unable to enter the interior and have no direct contact because of the barriers in the Border Mountains, we had no choice but to do so ... notice the gods Alda and Rodcorte. I had to make contact before I was

After deciding to change to Vida, he seemed to move quickly. There would have been an option for Bashass to head to the Deviant Continent, which is not covered by the barriers, but not to the Boundary Mountains ... but from Bashass it seemed still safer to contact Vandaloo via Arthurs right.

Vandalou wondered if it would be better to risk and contact the target, despite rebelling against the Ardas' operations, but it was Bashas's own belief.

`` I thought Arthur would be more dangerous if he was considered a blessed believer of the god of the Alda power like Fitun. ''

"Muh, sure."

Vandaloo himself has no idea of killing the hero candidates raised by the gods of the Ardas now.

Certainly, they are likely to be hostile in the future, but it is possible for knights and soldiers, adventurers, and all mercenaries praying to the gods of the Ardians. Before the encounter, the guard kest and the alchemist Jesse, who had become good friends with Tamer Guild's Bachem and Simon in the town of Morksey.

For that reason, if you thoroughly perform "Kill those who are likely to be enemies", it will be no different from performing the killing with "Kill the pagans!"

And, in fact, the Bandarurus have no way to accurately select the hero candidates.

The percentage of hero candidates who promote "God's blessing" is small overall. Those who do so have no special features other than their recent prominence. There is no such intelligible sign that the emblem appears on the forehead or back of the hand.

Large numbers of people have to spend a lot of time researching to find hero candidates. Or maybe all those ridiculous people will be killed, but ... regardless of blessing, they will kill even young people with talent.

That wouldn't be good.

Also, hearing from Bashas earlier, many of the hero candidates are now only believers who have been blessed by God. If you're not actually hostile to the Vandalus, persecuting the new race of Vida, or planning on doing so, there's no reason to kill them.

However, Bashas and his colleagues do not know Vandalu's thoughts, so it is not surprising that he wants to keep in touch for the security of his followers.

"And ... I'm sorry, but I thought about the worst case, but I was convinced that Callina and Arthur wouldn't."

"Why is that? Looking back on my actions, I'm pretty cruel to the enemy. Lately, you've been stripping off the faces of criminals alive, using them in human experiments until you die, and using them as golems and undead after laboring as labor.

It seems that it would still be better to work alone before hanging out to the authorities or hanging out in the mine as a criminal slave. The spirits of the victims are good, but that doesn't mean they aren't aware that it's a devil outing from the side. … Just not really focused.

Bashas did not get upset when he told him he was such a dangerous person.

"Because Arthur is not a criminal"

"I told the Karinians that they wouldn't take hostile actions, and I was convinced that they were well transmitted."

"Above all, you're cruel to the enemy, but only to those who perceive it as the enemy."

The Bashas and others were attracted by the painting on the roof of the building in Tarosheim with the effect of the Mental Erosion skill, but nothing by itself determined to convert to Vida.

Alda says that if Vandalu would indiscriminately kill the Aldaists who are the gods of God and make all the people undead, they would never turn if they were attracted to any threat to the world I would.

Otherwise, he came to a conclusion with three pillars, so he invited him here after making various preparations.

"So that's it. I understand. I don't have a say in bridging, but I'll tell Vida about you. "

Vandalu decided to believe in Bashas and others to say that much. There is no certainty that they are not spies, but it seems that God has few good at such belly.

And there's no end to suspicion.

"If you just want to enter the barriers, you just have to ask Gufadgarn, but you can't afford it, so you'll have to wait for a while ...

Arda has no power to destroy the gods, unlike Vandaloo. However, there is a deity called the "pile of law" that hurt, steal power, and block movement.

Bashars replied, "I'm probably fine."

"Because Rodcorte is crafted to prevent the memory of the four Arthurs from being read ... Arda must not know who the blessings of the gods are all about."

A few people can prevent information from passing on to Rhodocorte and other gods without having to form a barrier.

However, it's like disguising a surveillance camera with a cloth, so Rhodocorte keeps a close watch on Lambda's human race, and if a good watchman would have noticed it right now ... Absent.

"It may be suspicious, but ... we've already separated our sanctuary from where it originally was, so we can follow soon."

"Because the maintenance of the world can be done in a separate sanctuary, will it be a demon for a while?"

Apparently, the Bashas came out of their own sanctuary ... together with their workplace and residence. The important work was going on, so that even if the Ardas were already suspicious, it would take a while until they noticed, and it would take some time to find them even if they were referred to them.

"The last thing I want to ask is ... who is that Miriam-san?

The last thing Vandalou worried about was his friend Miriam. Bashas is blessing Arthur, Zelseria is blessing Calinia, and Hamul is blessing Borzofoy. Then, I was wondering why the fourth Miriam became an Arthur companion.

Miriam is a friend of mind to Arthur, but it may have other meanings to the gods.

"Is God not here giving blessings?

In response to the question, Bashas involuntarily increased his body, turned his gaze away from Vandaloo, and finally opened his mouth.

"In particular, I have never said so ... completely by chance and in the end. You can paraphrase it as fate, but

`` It seems that when she was attacked by a monster and was in danger, Arthur happened to be nearby and to act together when she was helped. ''

"For Arthur who had never left the village, she was a good leader and a leader, knowing the outside world."

"……So that's it. Even the gods were unexpected mischiefs of fate. '

It seems that Arthur and Miriam met by chance and nothing. He isn't particularly talented, he's just a newcomer who is a little older than Arthur.

(But it's probably a good person because he has been trusted by Arthur in such a short time that he can be called a heart friend.)

However, Vandaloo considers such personality to be more important than having some talent. So I appreciated Miriam, Arthur's heart friend, and respected her.

One day I want to acquire effective communication skills for living human subjects like her.

"I understand the story. So what do Arthurs do after this? If I have any instructions, will I tell you?

Asking Vandalu, Bashas shook his head.

'I'll leave it to their autonomy. But they will choose to remain adventurers. '

The outside world is full of danger and astonishment for three of Arthur's closed villages, which are also separated from the same villagers. But you should feel free and above all exciting.

Even if Bashas did not give a new mission, Arthur would not choose to return to the village and live as before.

"I understand. Then I tell them that way. "

A few seconds after stopping, Vandaloo said, "Please wait," and talked to the elf girl who suddenly appeared from behind him.

That was all he knew, but he was told that God's mission to them was over.

"I met God and exchanged words in that few seconds ... Is you a saint, not a demon king?"

"I'm like a true hero and a legendary hero, as they exchange words directly with the gods."

In spite of the surprising Arthur and Borzofoy, Gufadogan remained as expressionless as he could, but was proudly distracted.

"Like the Serving God, humans with sights. Honor the great Vandalou Zaccato."

"" Haha "

Vandalou conveys the intentions of Bashas to Kariana and Miriam, and the two who praise them obediently.

"It's up to your independence. You're trusted."

"Huh? Isn't he just thrown round?"

"No, we don't have to speak ourselves. It's okay to believe and leave. Because we trust so, probably Bashas and others have left us free."

If they could not trust the believers, Bashas would have given instructions to Vandaloo on this occasion. Otherwise, Arthur is trusted by God.

"That's right ... Arthur is amazing to be trusted by God."

Karynia puts her hand on Miriam's shoulder.

"That's not, Millie. You too. We've come this far, we've been able to fulfill our mission, because we have a heart friend who says you. God must know."

"No, not at all. I have no blessing and the gods didn't say anything about me, right?"

"The three-pronged gods valued you as" a good leader and leader of Arthur. "

"I see. Look at me ... yeah yeah yeah !? Does God say me that way?"

When Vandalou shared the words that Bashas, or precisely Hamul, described Miriam, she was surprised.

Vandalu, who has recently become accustomed to meeting and exchanging words with the gods, nodded to Miriam, remembering that this was a normal response.

"Wow, I'm a good leader and leader ..."

It seems that the nuances differed slightly from the time when Hamul stated when it was transmitted, but it seems that it was transmitted well.

"Huh? Is that like you'd like to ask Arthur in the future?"

However, Miriam, who has been swayed by them on a daily basis, did not soar. The gods don't even ask that much, but they foresee it.

"Well, thank you in the future. As a friend."

"Oh, yes"

On this day, the Miriams became friends with Demon King.

While Vandalu met Arthur, an incident occurred in which a Duke was hired by a duke to search for "The Face Stripper," and a man who was hired by a bubble blows and collapses.

He wakes up and says that Al Krem is now surrounded by a horrible horde of spirits.

There are spirits everywhere, staring at them.

"It's like an old battlefield ... No, it's the world itself! It's filled with more spirits than the population of this city! It's not enough to look for the spirits of victims of" The Face Stripper. "

"Well, is this some kind of conspiracy ?? No, even if you can communicate with the soul even though you are [the mediator], you should not be able to manipulate it ...?

Bravaille, the Knight of the Flame, growls like that, but it is Vandalou who, of course, sheltered countless spirits into the city of Alcrem.

And the purpose was to find out that the spirit of the victim of the fake “face stripping demon” was not found at all, so he decided to release the spirit in the town and watch for suspicious people.

However, there was still no clue to the fake “face stripper”. Are they hiding and stopping the crimes after the arrival of Vandaloo, or do they know any way to deceive the spiritual eyes?

"... It's good for a while with" The Face Stripper. "Is there a spirit that speaks more about Vandaloo Zaccato?

anything is fine. Personality, personality, habits, relationships ... I don't care about anything that goes down. "

Brabatille, meanwhile, seems to have decided to give priority to research on Vandalu from Facelifter. However, even if he asked, he couldn't hear a good answer from the man.

"Well, then ... As soon as I asked, there was a spirit glaring at me silently, and there was a spirit that praised it as" great "or" great "... and in the end I couldn't get the point."

"... That! We mean we were stupid trying to open the dead!"

"I think you used your head flexibly, but ... where did Baldilia and Gordi go?-Lalmeier woke up, but I didn't know what to ask here either I'm doing it. "

When Sergio of The Knight of the Thunderstorm asked, Brabatille said without reflection.

"I don't know. Both seem to be important requirements."

"... It's an important requirement. I don't think there is any more important requirement than a monster equivalent to an S-class adventurer tomorrow."

"Alcrem Five Knights" and Vandaloo. Both had an informal tea ceremony with no progress on the survey.
