The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 281: Not Building or Building a Statue
Originally, Gardland dungeons were only E-class and D-class dungeons with low capture difficulty.
That's because the povas who created the dungeon, "Evil God of the Viscera", intentionally created it with a low level of difficulty. Because if you create a difficult dungeon and it runs out of control, Garutland can perish because of it.
Garutland is about one-third the size of the Demon King's continent. But about half of it is underground salt lake. As a result, if monsters flood the land due to runaway dungeons, there will be no escape for residents.
In addition, since it was built at the bottom of the ground, there was little inflow of magic elements from other areas, and there was no need to collect and consume magic elements in dungeons.
That's why I created an E-class dungeon as an emergency shelter and training ground, and a D-class dungeon to get various resources and food.
He created only one C-class dungeon in order to raise warriors who could defeat strong monsters rarely appearing from ceilings and walls.
This would have been enough, but later Zosa Ceiba and the Giants added, and the need for resources increased, so the dungeons increased.
And, due to the measures of Nine Road, the elements of the world are gathered on the continent of the Demon King and the pollution becomes intense. The effects reached Garutland, and all dungeon grades were raised one step.
"According to the records of our ancestors, it seemed a mess at the time."
A beautiful woman with brown skin, a lower body of a horse, and a scorpion tail speaks to Vandaluo on his back, making noises with crackles and hooves.
"Yeah, you have to get the resources you need for your life from the dungeon, so it's not something you could endure."
A myriad of monsters that are as strong as brown bears suddenly appear in a workplace that was only safe to watch out for as few monsters as wild dogs. If you imagine that, you can infer the confusion of those days.
"It is difficult for the gods to lower the difficulty of a dungeon once it has risen, but our ancestors still fought violently and got used to the environment.
The gods now recognize our work and strength, and encourage them to hone their skills in the B-class dungeon, "The Fortress of Five Gods."
That is here. "
"I see. Thank you for the commentary."
The Vandalus were capturing this "God's Citadel" to show that the monsters appearing in the process of digging a tunnel in Garutland were capable of defending them.
The beautiful woman with a scorpion tail and a half-man and half-horse with his back on him is Sarzalit, the head of Glastig, who accompanies him as a patron.
She was a reincarnation of the Glastig, originally a goat's lower body, showing the characteristics of its ancestors when tied to Andros Scorpion, so she was born with a scorpion tail on the lower body of a horse.
Because of that, the race displayed in the status was not Palustrus, but Palustras.
"I'm honored to have helped."
Salzalit concluded the conversation by saying so, and the two other elders who were together spoke instead.
"Then, let's take a look at the history of our ice and snow giants. It's a sad history."
"No, this is the history of the tribe of Andros Scorpion. Tell us the story of our tragedy that has stopped spit."
"What are you talking about! You androscorpions wrote in their history for just a few years and they made a fuss about their stringiness, and they adapted quickly!"
"What are you saying, there's no reason to say that! You're in the history book that you've lived on an ice land since you were on the ground!"
Zork, the chief of the ice and snow giant, and Feltonia, the chief of Andros Scorpion, have begun a dispute at Vandaluo.
Zork is like a snow man because of its long white hair, beard, and body hair, but if you look closely it looks and feels the same as humans except for body hair and size. With armor on top of your clothes, you won't be mistaken for a monster, such as a snow giant, from a distance.
Feltonia, on the other hand, is a dark-haired woman with a shiny chocolate-like skin, dressed in gold jewelry. And since the lower body is a low body scorpion, the line of sight is closer to race than Arachne.
Androscorpion does not have small or large varieties, only one.
"You and Andros Scorpions have been brilliantly adapted to the Gardland desert and are claimed to be faster than Centaur in the desert! And they have succeeded in farming with oasis water! The magic of sand to sandstone To create a golden city in the desert! ”
"Isn't your ice-snow giant adapting to the cold regions of Garutland and building a kingdom of frozen soil and ice! It's definitely not good for agriculture, but domesticating huge reindeer and snow bears, You defeat the monsters, get the meat and fur, and live rich in the city of ice!
"What's up! Andros Corpion is a magic warrior who uses his lower body scissors and tail poison needle as weapons and uses his upper body to spell sorcery!"
"The ice and snow giants of yours have excellent physical abilities, and many magicians are good at water-based magic, and their bravery reaches the desert!"
"... Is this a quarrel? Well, it's interesting to hear the reputation of each race."
With a bitter smile, Zalzarit guarantees, "What they say, the truth is."
Zork and Feltonia apparently want to show their struggle and have Vandaluo come to the city or settlement where they live. However, the quarrel began, and it seemed to be a strange quarrel complimenting each other.
By the way, the village of Glastig, headed by Sarzarit, who has not participated in the quarrel, exists along the wall of Garutland. The lower-goat goats seem to be moving their walls dexterously to mine ore resources and farming in terraced fields and terraced fields using groundwater seeping from the walls.
And as a warrior, there are many light warriors and bowers, and there are not few users of spirit magic. It seems to be a powerful race that is as competitive as ice and snow giants and Andros Scorpion.
… In fact, even if humans attack Garutland, humans will be defeated if they do not have enough strength.
The place that becomes the battlefield anyway is the place. Ice and snow giants are frigid snowy mountains, and Andros Scorpion is a desert. And up to Glastig it is a steep wall that humans cannot walk. You won't be able to fight decently.
With the exception of towns on the banks of saltwater lakes, it is only necessary for residents to escape to their respective settlements.
Coincidentally, Gartland seems to be strategically superior to non-standard entities such as war heroes and subgods.
"It's our house to have Vandaloo come first!"
"Mr. Zalzarit, do you know why both of you want me to come this far?"
Seeing the two never stop quarreling, Vandaloo asked him. He wanted to stop this invitation battle before it escalated.
Because they may say "build a statue of Vandalu". Although statues have already been set up in the village of mermaids and in the town on the shore of the underground saltwater lake, it cannot be tolerated.
However, he did not seem aware of the asked Zalzarit.
"I don't particularly know. I haven't heard of anyone with an incurable disease, and I shouldn't be in need.
There should be no one parasitized by [Demon King's Fragment] like Dolaneza. "
Doraneza, the head of the mermaids, took the Dedilia and the Demon who had allied with the clan to break the seal and parasitize himself in order to escape from Bang Gaia Continent to Garutland. It is becoming increasingly known throughout Gartland that Vandaloo removed her without dying.
However, there was no Demon King Fragment in Garutland until Dolaneza came.
The four gods of the Povaz former Demon King's army flee immediately after the demon King Gudranis, who was the source of [Shards], was torn. After being beaten, the Bellwoods had no time to obtain the sealed pieces of meat.
In the ensuing battle between Vida and Arda, the Povaz were not involved in the battle itself, so they had no opportunity to take away the Vida-defended fragment.
However, even if they did, the Povaz would have abandoned the Fragments before creating Garutland.
He doesn't want to resurrect Gudranis, but he does not intend to build his own powers, like the evil god of evil Jilyshkaka or the evil god of liberation, Lavovifard, and remain hostile to all the gods in this world.
The Povaz waited to be greeted by the Vida faction and, until then, chose to keep the new race of Vida secretly protected. As such, [Fragments] are just dangerous goods that cannot be used as weapons.
It was the same for Zosa Ceiba and the giants who later joined.
Therefore, there is only [Shard] in Garutland.
Another thing that Zalzarit can come up with is that the sub-gods of the Ardians on the ground are not in such an urgent situation that they have to do something now. They are not aware of Gartland's presence and will attack them tomorrow today.
And there's no point in taking Vandaloo to himself.
When Zalzarit was worried, Zork and Feltonia spoke about why they wanted to attract Vandaloo himself.
"The venue for the next concert will not be transferred!"
Apparently, they didn't want to invite Vandaloo to do anything, but wanted to have a concert in their village.
"The Kanakos seem to be more engaging with the audience than expected."
That said, Zand and Feltonia have not become serious idol fans. They are trying to bring the guidance accompanying the concert to their clan as quickly as possible.
Your physical abilities will increase, your level will increase more easily, and you will also gain skill correction. Moreover, Vandaloo's guidance is broad and useful for warriors and sorcerers as well as the general public.
If physical abilities are improved and skills are more easily acquired, non-combatants can work more efficiently and lead to a better life. The economic benefits are immeasurable, as a craftsman apprentice honed his skills many times faster than usual.
"But shouldn't that be said to Kanako more than me?"
“That ’s right! Why do you treat me to something you do n’t have ?!” [Continuous shooting!]
Saying that, Kanako fired a number of arrows at the Tyrant Madmans.
Vandalus were capturing the B-class dungeon, "Fort of the Five Gods," but Kanako and others who were fighting the demon were not participating in the conversation.
"Why don't Van fight in the first place !?"
"Speaking of which, there's no Volks or Gina. Well, I'm glad I'm having fun fighting demons for the first time."
"Then, can you leave everything to Madman?"
"Yes, thank you, Doug."
A humanoid monster with mud-like skin and a round mouth with fangs. Among them, Tyrant Madman, which was considered the strongest until 50,000 years ago. Its strength is rank 5, and it is out of specification as a monster that appears in the B-class dungeon. And it is not a great enemy for Kanakos who already have more power than Class B adventurers. However, it constantly secretes high-viscosity fluids from the skin, and those fluids have the same bad smell as sludge.
"No, it's really ... shit, can you beat it quickly? [Hecaton Kale]!"
"Even if it's the same slimy, Van still smells better. I'll go breath."
"Okay. I won't prevent returning blood."
Kanako who did not want to be contaminated with body fluids were fighting mainly with long-range attacks.
The Tyrant Madman approaching with a large body of about 5 meters is held down by the absolute defense barrier made with Melissa's Aigis.
Meanwhile, Kanako's bow, his arm previously received from Doug's telekinetic vandaloo, and the breath of ice spewing out from the dragon's head on the tip of the plebel's tentacles, caused damage and defeat. Go.
Tyrant Madman, who has strong vitality and has [Physical Resistance] and [Water / Soil Property Resistance] skills, cannot withstand the onslaught and will reduce the number of animals to one and one again.
"No, I didn't call out to Kanako because I thought it would be annoying to talk to me during the battle, I didn't ignore him ..."
`` Yes, the words left by the brave are that the way to shoot the general is from the horse first, and to invite Kanako-san, I think that you must first invite Mr. Vandaloo. ''
Apparently, Vandalu is a horse.
"Hihi"
"Don't imitate the voice you don't want to imitate!
"But it's pretty good. If Van decides where to hold the concert, it will be."
Opening a concert requires the decision of Vandaloo. Although it was not called at the first concert held in Garutland the other day, Vandaloo's cooperation is indispensable for the operation of the demon king who performs lighting and accompaniment at Knochen in the mobile venue. In addition, the costumes, which are costumes, are by his hand.
Of course, the stage that can be used for the venue, the time and materials for setting up the stage, and if you can arrange the performer, you can open it alone, but ... Is there a stage in the cold zone where the ice and snow giant live and the desert where Andros Scorpion lives? Is subtle.
And Kanako's time is limited because she can't open the town of Moxy for too long.
Though we haven't come to terms so far, Zork and Feltonia nodded "again" and looked again at Vandaloo on Zalzarit's back.
"Is it true? Then, a splendid statue in my hometown-"
"Yes, a big statue in the desert where we andros corpions live-"
"Oh, that's not an invitation."
`` "I won't build a statue.
"Kanako, are you free on schedule? If you're full, I'll sing and dance alone."
The two heard Handaru's reaction when he knew that his statue would be built from the mayor of Yurak, and used the invitation not to build the statue as an invitation.
"Van has fallen in an instant !? And you still sing and dance?"
"... I want to see that on the other hand, that stage. It's going to be a recitation rather than a song, and it's full of familiars and it's going to be like a concert or a horror show."
Surprisingly, Privels beat Tyrant Madman. Doug stabbed one of the last birds with Vandalu's arm covered with [Devil King's Claw] and [Exoskeleton], and the battle ended.
"So the answer to the question is why we're just fighting, haven't you?"
Asking him in a slightly rough tone, Sarzarit responded to him instead of Vandalou trying to start adjusting his schedule.
"It's to make sure you have the power to deal with the monsters that will appear during tunnel construction.
The construction will continue even while Vandaloo is away, so I wanted to know the skills of anyone other than him just in case.
By the way, we don't have the Volks because we heard they were above rank 10, so we thought we didn't have to prove it. "
Worm-type, ant-type and mole-like monsters emerge from the rocks on the walls and ceiling of Garutland, and unidentified monsters like Madman emerge from wet soil. And the soil and rocks themselves become golems, and the fossils of a long time go undead.
Their ranks are low, and ranks 1 and 2 appear on a daily basis. For the new races of Vida, who are routinely trained, they are only small fish that can be easily beaten.
Rarely, however, a herd of rank 5 Tyrant madman and a giant gluttonous caterpillar, the grit worm, appear once every several hundred to a thousand years, with demons of rank 7 or higher.
This "Five Gods Citadel" is a dungeon to fight high-ranking monsters that appear in Garutland. Currently, the difficulty level has increased from class C to class B, and monsters of rank 7 or higher have come out. However, it is still good for rehearsal practice to fight monsters that appear during tunnel construction.
"I see, I guess. So, I was fighting only on Vandalu to the 5th floor, but the reason I changed from the middle was not because I was too fond of insects and I could not capture it."
Insect-type monsters appearing in this dungeon were handed down to Vandaloo one after the other.
When climbing the slope, a giant dung beetle and gart ball appeared from the wall and hit it, and when I thought it was, I gave a nectar from the ant type monster, Galt ant, and gave me nectar, wrapped around the galt worm, and forced from the gart spider I was invited to the nest. All monsters are found only in Garutland and rank one rank higher than similar monsters found in Bang Gaia Continent.
…… When they appeared, they did not respond to [Danger Detection: Death] at all, so the bugs were arbitrarily tamed before they appeared in front of Vandaloo and jumped out like dogs playing with their owners May have just come.
That's a horrible story, but now they're all in the shadow of Vandaloo.
"Well, yes, but I'm sure I've proved my power enough, and will you take over soon?"
"No, we'll do it until the next middle boss because it's poorly cut.
Doug declines Vandalu's proposal, but not only him, but Melissa and Privel seem to agree.
"It's easier than a concert, so it's good"
"I'm still a little unsatisfied. And Van! I don't think the four legs are bad, but I have eight!"
Privelle pierces nails in the sizzling Salzallit. Hearing her words, the three Zalzarits looked surprised at Vandaloo.
In the outside world, isn't the shape and length of the legs, but the number of legs leads to attractiveness? ? The thought is put.
"Yes, I know."
Vandalu does not deny! ? Is her word true? ? The three were sharing such a startle.
"I think the word you said was definitely misunderstood.
Kanako said, following the Dougs.
Then they regret.
After this, the absolute king madman of rank 8, the true madman breed over Tyrant Madman, emerged as a boss in the dungeon with a terrible amount of mucus.
Vandaloos, who showed their abilities in "God's Citadel", started tunnel construction.
The size of the tunnel was set to be large enough to allow three Volks and other giants to fight without difficulty, considering the possibility of fighting the demons that appeared. The two-lane road is likely to become a tunnel that can be easily laid, but since it was a battle with monsters and it was unreasonable and collapsed, we had room for the area.
However, he was unable to do the work alone, so Vandaloo returned to the Al Krem when he was ready to join the Kure and Darussia, who served as shadow warriors.
He and Takkad Al Krem held a conference on the Temple of Bolgadon, which was rebuilt on the site of the "Sacred Land of the Wild", which has now become just a wilderness.
The appearance of the temple remains the same as before, but it has already been decided that the interior, decoration and religion will change significantly. Not only the settlements, which were the nests of the Goldi's mimic humans, but also the usual temples where ordinary members came to pray.
In earlier temples, Bolgadon was enshrined as the god of the Ardians. In addition to the statues of Bolgadon, there were also statues and reliefs of the great god Botin and other gods of the earth attribute of the Ardians, as well as the gods of Arda and the hero god Bellwood.
It turns it into a temple that honors Bolgadon as a Vida god.
It is the same until the celebration of Botyn, but erected a divinity god attached to the Vida religion, a statue of Vida instead of Alda, and also a relief of Rikurent and Zuluwan.
Then build a statue of Hillwillow, a hero chosen by Botyn, not Bellwood.
Until now, not only Zacht, who has been described as the "Falled Hero", the production heroes have never been celebrated in the temple. At best, the temple of the great god who chose each hero is decorated with reliefs and paintings that depict myths 100,000 years ago.
Perhaps because of the widespread religion that worships Alda and the heroic god Bellwood, he avoided the religion of production heroes who tried to introduce knowledge and technology from another world.
Building a statue of Hilwillow in a temple is a British decision for the Vidas and a historic violence for the Ardas. The reactions of the gods can only be imagined by a child living on the earth, but the reaction of the same child can be assumed.
Many of the people of the Duke of Al Krem will be surprised, and aristocratic aristocrats will treat them as good resources to use in political strife. And even though the members of Alda are moderate, they feel good. An opportunistic duke who is not a priest has decided that he intends to follow the Vida faction after the Arda Reconciliation.
If you're an individual Duke of Takkar Alkrem, you'll never judge. However, he seems to have renewed his hair and skin tone recently and has rejuvenated, and he accepted two requests from Vandaloo.
Because, unofficially, Vandaloo, and convincing himself that he has the backing of the Vidal Empire, can expect various forms of assistance.
And it was speculated that ordinary people of the Duke's extreme religion would soon adapt to their surprise. The Bolgadon temple has changed a lot, but the rest of the temple has no apparent change and is not forced to do anything.
And the most rebellious clergy in Borgadon are all dead because they were all mimics.
Therefore, there were two issues at the meeting. One was the design of the Hill Willow statue. Until now, no one has created a statue for at least the last 10,000 years, so there is no routine image like a god or a great man.
You can ask Borgadon and Vida, who you know, what they look like, but no matter how close you are to the real thing, there is no point in knowing that the viewer is a statue of Hill Willow.
He decided to create a statue of Hill Willow, equipped with the legendary depictions left behind by Bellwood, equipped with the exclusive mythological equipment that Botin gave him.
And another problem is that the gray meat steak that Vandaloo served for lunch during a break during the meeting was the meat of the god of the cannibalism, Zezolegin.
The Duke said, "It was very delicious, but I wanted you to say it before serving."
And the band, including Arthur, departed from Al Krem, who had been staying longer than expected, and returned to the town of Moxy.
It was a few minutes after the carriage carrying the Vandalu came off the road and disappeared into the forest. On the coast of the Demon King's continent, the Rock Giant Gone stared at the sky as if he had bitten a worm.
"... had you come again?"
Flying in the blue sky, the Quattro ... And beside it is a huge sphere made of meat and a demon man riding it. And ... a vampire who doesn't care for sunlight.
"Gone! Bratheo! Madrosa! ! "
"I'm afraid I'm not going to stand! I'm finally turning around! I'm going to be as crazy as possible!"
"Speaking with people as a foothold, at all"
Godwin, a monster king inside the border mountains, has attacked Legion on the already pumped up Zod.
"Zodme ... It's not enough for Mad Vida alone to become a Bandaruu running dog who collects pieces of the Demon King and eats even the soul of God! We can't forgive us!
"Do not protrude, Brateo. First of all, we need to determine whether the ship is real or fake like the last time. "
"But for that, you have to set it up. Go, don't forget to watch out for the explosion until you know it's real!
In this way, the third match was opened.
