The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

The QUATRO, which flew a bit as a performance, landed at the port when it landed again.

People gathering at the port cheer, saying, "It's the oracle!"

"Welcome, brothers from the earth! We welcome you-what's the face !?"

But the moment he sees the people on the Quattro, the words of welcome change startlingly.

"I think the right skin has been shaved and the bones are bare! I need to treat it quickly!"

"Wait, mayor! These people have only bones !? And everyone has a bad complexion and their eyes are empty!"

"Bring as much potion as possible! Gather those who can use healing magic!"

"No, no, calm down. Don't worry about my face. '

"I'll just give you your feelings"

The right half of the face tells us that Volks, whose skull is bare, and bones, who are not only the face but also the bones under the armor, are not injured to calm the people of the underground world.

People from the underground gathered to greet the Quattro, a ship flying in the sky invited by the oracle, Dolaneza. However, he did not realize that riding the Quattro was almost undead.

From a distance, the Quattro looks a bit creepy, but it looks like a normal ship except for its huge size, and giant zombies and undead sailors look like living people from a distance. He wears armor and clothes, and his movement is unnatural.

"That's why most of the people on board are undead, but don't worry; on earth, they're god-like undead who have faced giant true giants and dragons, but they're very intelligent .

Mayor of Yurak, concubine guarantees "

Explaining Dolaneza, the mayor of Yurak, the town's mayor, recovered from surprise and nodded with a calm look as before.

"That's right. If Dolaneza says so, it's okay."

There was no objection to the mayor's judgment from the people who gathered. Apparently, she seems to be very trusted.

"But what is the undead ... though you were so young, you too would have had a hard time."

"... I'm sorry, I'm alive."

"Hmm? Is it? I'm sorry. It's like I'm dead, so my skin color is so clear. Then, is that Scyra's younger sister? There are so many tentacles."

"No, that's the tentacle of Tama and Gyoku. I'm Dumpel's Vandaloo Zaccato. I'm a man."

""queue""

"Wow! It seems like you are in a special position to inherit the name of the brave Zakart. This was repeated and rude."

Vandaloo, who was mistaken for an undead or a scylla, corrected it, and the Mayor of Yurak scratched his head, saying, "No, I came."

"Is it okay to go to the temple immediately? We call it Gartland, but those who came here should be guided to the temple first, There is a custom from.

In the meantime, we will be preparing your accommodation and welcoming, so we will ask for other caretakers. Oh, so can the undead also eat? "

"I understand. Later, everyone in the undead will be able to eat, so thank you."

Volks and boners can also enjoy meals. Because it is not as indispensable as a living person, it is only entertainment. But it's just entertainment, and it's a pleasure to have a feast, and it's an opportunity to interact with the people of this underground world and get to know one another.

However, Vandaloo thought that the story was a little too fast.

Until now, countries inside the border mountains and the city of the Demon Continent have explained and understood the undead. However, it took more time to be satisfied. … But before we explained, the time it took for Vandaloo to gain credit from the people, to be guided, and to gain understanding for that reason was incredibly short.

However, it took about a dozen or so minutes for the mayor of Yuraku and other people to convince. The new race of Vida alone can be thought to have increased the effectiveness of Vandaloo's guidance, but the mayor of Yurak is a race as far as the eye can see.

Unless he is so desperate in his life, he can hardly be said to have been led despite having little conversation,

"But it's good? Most people should have a sense of repulsion for the undead."

When asked, he was concerned only with confirming his concerns immediately, Mayor Yurak nodded, "Yes, good."

"The oracle didn't have a clear indication of the existence of the undead, but it said," The abyss is coming to death. "

And I, like the undead, are what Arda defines as evil. ''

"You also?"

When asked back, Mayor Yurak replied with a smile that only humans could see.

"Yes. I'm Yurak Simon. Just like race, it's homunculus. Not only me, but all the races, elves, and dwarfs in this underground world ... no, just a few people are homunculus, and others. Mixed race of

Homunculus. It is a pseudo-creature created by evil life attribute magic. However, many individuals fail and cannot get out of the container used for culture and grow only to the size of a baby or infant.

Homunculus, created by those who have gained the power of evil gods and magicians who have learned long and evil magic, is said to have human-like appearance and high intelligence.

The Temple of Arda defines homunculus as a type of demon, not a human, but of course it is not found in evil spirits or dungeons. The human-like homunculus was half-legendary, and on Baan Gaia continent was only documented in documents stored in the sorcerer's guild archives.

Whether it's really a demon ... whether there's a rank item in the status, whether it's going to rank up, or not being able to get a job, isn't well-documented in the literature and it's been unknown.

Once upon a time, Vandalu looked into Homunculus as one of the ways to make Darussia's new body.

However, there was not much material and I did not know the specific way to contract with the necessary evil gods, so time passed on hold and I forgot recently.

"I didn't think that most of the residents, including the mayor, were homunculus."

Such a mystery is likely to be solved at once in this Gartland.

"Yeah, even if you look at it, you can only see it by race. That's why ... there were dozens of people just gathered, right?

Despite being surprised, Vandalu and Zandia nodded the demon woman who was appointed as caretaker, "Yes."

"I was surprised when I first came to this Gartland with the Dolanesa. I never made Homunculus, but I knew it as knowledge, so it was superfluous."

Then he looks up at the sky with his distant eyes and continues.

Her name is Dedilia. It is a beast demon, called Vander, a demons with various beast characteristics. Marriage between different races, unless you see the horns and dark skin on the head, which are common characteristics of the demon tribe, such as a large body, a lion's tail, clawed feet, fin-like ears, etc. Looks like a woman born during a beast race.

He is the head of the Demon Clan, who has allied with the Dolaneza clan, and on the continent of Bang Gaia, he claims to be the Dark Lady.

"It takes about a million baums to create a normal homunculus, but that number of people ... and a wide variety of ethnic, elf, and dwarf types.

I can't imagine how much money and facilities would be needed to create one. ''

She walks straight and tries to enter the narrow path between the buildings. Privel called out and stopped it.

"... Well, the temple is that big building, isn't it?"

"Mmm, I'm sorry.

With an excuse, Dedilia returns while deceiving her obsessed with money accounts. This Gartland also has its own currency, Garut, which is her habit since she was on Bang Gaia continent.

The Vandaloos and others left the Quattro and the Four Dead Sea Captains in the harbor, and guided her to the temple. The Quattro could be stowed in the shadows, but people gathered at the harbor were still curious and staring at the Quattro, so we decided to leave it.

At this time, the port is hosting a show that we are not bad undead by boners, undead sailors, and Princess Olbia and Levia.

Bone puzzles, bone man sword dances, flames, water and space shows are improvised to help people in the underworld know that there is a familiar presence in the undead.

"Why are we not participating? I was even involved in the space ''

"Yes, Lord. Show them off in our light show and make them want to be like!

Berkert of Mad Dog and Darouk of Fighting Dog emphasize this, but Vandaloo shook his head.

"No, especially Darouk," Do not confuse them "or" Send you. "

They had a ghost-like habit of trying to make the living their own. It doesn't matter if the target is heading for the enemy, but keep an eye on it because it tries to be the same as the enemy.

... These are bad examples of how not all personalities change when guided by Vandalurou.

"Such! ? What is wrong? ?

Moreover, there is no awareness.

"Because you are such a thing, it is placed only in a place where Vandaloo-sama can reach! Good, keep it up!

When the Darouks run out of control, Chiplass of the “Chug Dog” was also present to take over immediately. However, he seems to be glad to be able to follow Vandaloo.

"Assuming that we didn't hear any disturbing words ... none of the races, dwarves and elves here are homunculus, nor are the mayors of Yurak created with pure homunculus and alchemy.

As the mayor said, they were born during a mixed race between parents with a new race in Vida. Born and raised in the mother's belly, not in the incubator. It's very different from ordinary homunculus. ''

"I see. That may be why you can't distinguish it from ordinary people."

Emotions and emotional expressions, empathy for others. If it is not a common artifact, it may seem like a normal human, even if it looks a little different, but a human.

"But there are various things in the saint."

"Hmm? Volks, did you say something?

Looking at Dedilia, Volks murmurs. When she notices her gaze, Gina, who has two names, "Healing Saints," tilts her head.

A demon saint who is absorbed in the money account and makes a mistake on the road. A giant zombie saint who knocks down a rock that is larger than herself with a shield.

Neither of them is as pure or holy as a typical saint.

"Well, even though I'm a saint, I'm a self-proclaimed 'dark saint.' I've only claimed myself more than halfway with the irony of Arda. But he can use healing magic, but he's restless. It's different from Gina. "

Mercenaries, adventurers, and criminals sometimes claim to have two names that they don't own to put themselves on the map. It seems that Dedilia's two names were recognized as well as appearing in their statuses.

"I don't have that. It's not a saint's condition to be able to use healing magic, so I don't need to give my two names "healing"

"Yes, and you have gathered the survivors of the clan from the continent and reached such a long distance. I think that, even with the blessings and oracles of God, is a feat that is more than enough."

Gina, who deviates from the image of the saint in general, and Vandalou, who supports her, argue so.

What they are saying is correct. Many clergy who serve the temple can certainly use recovery magic. Because he is received by the people. But that alone is a magician who only wore a vest and hung the holy mark. We cannot preach the teachings of God.

"I'm glad to say that, but I've reached this point thanks to Dolaneza and the gods they serve. I haven't contributed so much ... It's our demonic responsibility. ''

According to Dedilia, they originally lived in the Duke of Fazon in the election of Orbaum.

But he did not just live in peace. It was not the assigned autonomous region that settled, but worshiped evil gods and stashed the Demon King's Fragment.

And there is dark interference with human society.

"I'm not hiding anymore, but honey traps and bribes against influential people, such as the clan of local lords and masters of the Adventurer's Guild Branch.

The Succubus, our clan's lewd man, has become a human being and approaches him, grasping his weaknesses, and securing his family's security by bridging his body and bribes. Just hiding behind you will find you someday. ''

Some of the evil dwellers hiding in human society plan radical conspiracies, such as overthrowing the nation if large and hijacking remote villages and towns even if small, but the Dedilia clan seems to have been less so.

"... isn't it in the category of hiding in peace?"

Vandalu and others think so, but Duke Fazon did not.

"I won't go in. If we bother, it's easy to do all the wrongdoing with those involved, and it's easy to get rid of inconvenient humans. .

And our existence is inconvenient for nobles who care about their lineage. Even if you look like this, we and Dolaneza are mixed with the blood of the Duke of Fazon.

Setting up a honey trap meant having an overnight relationship with an important person, which sometimes resulted in children. The resulting children were raised and lived as members of the clan. Then he married a close demon and his allied mermaid ... blood spread.

Dedilia and Dolaneza draw the blood of the nobles of the elected kingdom.

"And whether it's now belief that we've been betrayed or betrayed by anyone who has been involved, our presence has been revealed. We send a destruction squad, composed of duke knights and adventurer guild adventurers. Instead of fighting back, we were forced to escape with the help of the Dolanese.

At first he did not intend to leave the continent, but ... Dolaneza received the oracle from Maris Jaffer. `` Please aim at the new world and point to the direction. ''

It seems that he has fortunately raided a pirate ship, hijacked the boat, and sailed so far for those who could not swim.

"Is it a fierce adventure?"

"Once I left the continent, I was mostly thanks to Dolaneza. I am alive."

Dedilia was heavily involved in fighting adventurers with subdued squads. Dolaneza would have died if she had wrapped the wound with mucus secreted from [Maou's mucous glands] and had not controlled bleeding.

"But what happened to Flying Kraken?

"I don't think I've won the fight, so did you come across a course you didn't encounter by chance, or did you come across an oracle?

When Gina and Volks asked, Dedilia nodded, "Is it your guardian?"

"Guardian?

"Oh, it's a monster or a descendant of Gartland's gods. We knew it because we arrived here and were taught by the Yurakus."

Apparently, the Flying Kraken was a monster located at the entrance of the cave and placed by the gods of Garutland in an attempt to prevent sub-gods and other Ardas from approaching the Demon King's continent.

The Flying Kraken was a rather large object ... a deliberate habit of coming out into the shallow water and attacking only when a true giant or dragon is swimming near the water or flying in the sky. Apparently, the mermaids and the Dedilia, who used medium-sized pirate ships, were not attacked.

Conversely, the Quattro was a super-large ship made by connecting four large ships, which seemed to greatly stimulate the fighting instinct of the Flying Krakens.

"You did not know when your Majesty asked the spirit?

"We are the descendants of the Flying Kraken, created by the gods here, because they have no language, unlike subhuman demons, so they cannot inherit history and culture. So you probably didn't know their origins.

And what I don't know is irresistible even if I'm fascinated. ''

Vandaloo answers Zandia's question. The Gartland gods chose Flying Kraken when they created the guardian monsters, probably because they wouldn't leak their presence to the Ardians.

As he talked, the temple he was aiming for approached.

This town seems to be like the capital of the underground world Gartland. There are separate towns and villages where the tribes live, but they also have a stopover for gathering and discussing and trading with each other. When the base was established, it was apparent that it had developed into a town sometime.

For this reason, the temple was also enshrined with all the gods of the various races, Vida, the goddess of life and love, and Zanták, the war god of fire and destruction. The overall impression resembles the communal temple in the town of Moxy.

The design is a bit ugly.

"This is the temple. Probably the gods will be here for the oracle. It was when we emigrated."

"No, maybe in the case of a shaven man, I'm going to talk directly?

"Directly?-What exactly does that mean?"

Vandaloo was invited to the sanctuary of the gods when he thought that Dedilia's voice was interrupted.

"I see."

And after seeing the gods, Vandaloo understood that they were former evil king evil gods. I expected that it would be so because I created a human-like homunculus, placed a flying kraken as a guard in the sea away from the continent, and did something not like a god born in this world .

The gods who appeared were the two-headed sharks from the base of the neck, the gods of a strong male upper body, and the monkeys who covered their whole body with white hair ... a giant. Conversely, a god who has no hair, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, and only the skin is glossy, and a god who combines all guts into a humanoid, countless bones in the shape of a beast A god like a dragon made of only meat, similar to a god like Knochen. And a god like an aggregate of mushrooms with eyes and mouth on a shade.

And they were all in a banzai-like position, raising their arms.

(Is it a greeting from Gartland?)

Vandalu, who thought so, raised his arm and followed him.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Vandalu Zakart. I was invited to take a dangerous place and was saved. "

Then he greeted him, and for some reason, the gods shook his body and seemed scared. The god with the lower body of the two-headed shark decided and opened his mouth.

"I am honored to welcome you here. I am the god who has guarded the family of Doraneza, Maris Jaffer, the gods of the Red Sea. Other gods have been protecting the new race of Vida for about 100,000 years.

So please calm down, stay calm and listen to the end. '

"Yes, I'm calm and cool, as you can see. And listen to the story to the end ... is something strange?

"Then, how many arms did you lift up?

"This is just imitating you. I think it's a sign of greeting or welcome. "

"No, we are raising our hands to show that we are surrendering and not hostile."

"……Oh really"

Apparently, the meaning of Banzai was different between the two. Vandalou quickly dropped his arms, and Maris Jaffers followed it with relief.

"But why do you do that? I don't mean to hurt you anymore. … And I don't remember becoming a soul-eating beast, no matter who he is.]

Vandalu, wondering if he was frightened by eating Radatelle's soul, said that, but the Maris Jaffers were frightened of Vandalu for other reasons.

"No, Son of Vida, heir of the brave. We fear you because we are not Vida gods.

We are gods classified as remnants of the Demon Army. '
