The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 286: Dragon Emperor God

Writing a reply to a letter from Selene, a girl from Dumpel protected by The Five Colored Blades, the task that Vandaloo struggled mentally. He wrote it with sincerity and launched it through a commercial guild.

The reply spells out why she couldn't understand Selenium, a normal little girl other than being a damper, but she doesn't think she's mature.

(Because there is an adult of the Ardha Reconciliation anyway, that person should translate it)

Feeling unloaded, he left the commercial guild for a vacant warehouse used by Kanako for lessons. There he promises to meet a strange elf bard who has come to cover himself.

In fact, Vandaloo had already been interviewed by bards several times. The bard ... Rudolph's coverage was without problems for him.

Today is the day following the alleged return to the town of Moxy, not the day of his return. That's because the day was called by the county of the city of Moxie, Count Isaac Moxie, explaining what had happened in Alcrem.

As a matter of fact, it could not be overtaken by the request of the local lord.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Rudolph. Thank you for your coverage today."

Rudolph, bowing down, greeted Vandaloo with a favorable impression. He felt that he was polite and respectful of himself among the minstrels he had been interviewing.

"Thank you very much, but wouldn't it have been better to be my mother than me in the interview? Or maybe you just wanted to know about Basdia and Zadiris?"

Fame in human society is higher in Dalsia than in Vandalu. Zadiris and Basdia are known to be the followers in fought to protect the town of Moxy.

Many of the bards who have so far applied to him have only applied as intermediaries to find out what the mother is from the son's point of view and to hear from Zadiris and Basdia. There were many.

Vandalu does not remember the frustration and shock of the bard's attitude. I just know it's natural because I know how ostensible cases are handled. Rather, it's a pleasure to hear him talk about his mother, Darussia, and his companions, Zadiris and Basdia.

"That's not the case. The songs of the shrines and the ghouls of the followers have been written by any other bard. I want to make your own.

Also, I'm interested in the incident that happened in Al Krem ... "

Having said that, Rudolph's interviewers wanted to hear what Vandaloo thought and thought at that time, rather than information about the case itself.

It was a bit strange for Vandalu, but he was convinced that he would write a different song from the other minstrels.

However, Rudolph, the interviewer ... Randolph was not worried when his identity would be revealed.

(Don't you realize that my identity is "True" Randolph ??) And that's too hard to keep watch on. I only know the sign, but I don't know what it is. …)

Randolph was aware of Gufadogan's lurking in the space behind Vandalu. I don't feel any kind of murder or vigilance ... I'm just impressed.

It felt creepy for Randolph. I don't think it's a sign of the same person.

Vandaloo, protected by such an entity, cannot be an extraordinary entity. I knew it wasn't just that. When Tamer, who claimed Hellhound, realized he was.

But as he infiltrated the town, he learned that Vandaloo was surrounded by A-class adventurers or better. He found that he was not only strong but also dominated the entertainment and slums, donated to orphanages and interacted with orphans, and for some reason was passionate about music.

To be honest, when Randolph knew that, Randolph wanted to sneak into the city and look for Vandalu, to make sure he was the cause of the destruction that would destroy this country. With the answer.

For Randolph, the collapse of the country was not the replacement of a king or a noble by a coup, but the physical destruction of a town or village.

But Vandaloo is unlikely to do that. On the contrary, poor villages are likely to assist and rebuild, and if a criminal organization has a dominant town, they are likely to shatter and free the town.

They are good practices in the world, and there is no reason to disturb Randolph personally.

It may be a big problem for the royal nobles to rule and maintain the country, but no matter how much their ancestors owe, there is no way to take care of them.

Randolph does not serve the state, nor does he intend to respect the guardians of the election kingdom. There is no reason to take care of royal nobles for free.

In the first place, it is the government's job to prevent and improve poverty and insecurity. There is no reason Randolph has to deal with the revolutionary if he is not a vicious slaughterer or a commissioner.

Leaving Vandaloo open has improved the social status of new ghouls and Vida races, and Randolph has no inconvenience when more Vida followers are added. …… unless the new race of Vida persecutes humans, just to return, but it's too timid to move because of uncertain dangers.

So Randolph considered pulling out of town when his purpose was fulfilled, but just in case ... and out of curiosity, he decided to leave town after meeting Vandaloo.

(Curiosity, kill the adventurer. I'm retired and relaxed.)

But Randolph regretted it now. Vandalou does not turn his murder, hostility, or malice on him. He has no expression but is friendly and understands that he answers questions as accurately as possible and with all his vocabulary to make it easier to convey.

His voice is flat but pleasant to his ears, and when he is listening, his power is likely to loosen from his shoulders.

There is no light in his eyes, but he stares at it deeply ... he wants to look into it.

(It's dangerous to feel this happiness, but once you soak it, you'll never be able to leave it again. It's like a bottomless swamp. The atmosphere suddenly changed in Kanako the other day ... but that's not the ratio.)

Being wary, Randolph continued his caution, keeping distance from Vandaloo.

Randolph watched him and chose words because he assumed he was respected.

"Thank you. I'm going to make a good song."

"This was a great help."

Randolph finished his interview ... Rudolf shook hands with Vandaloo and stood.

All you have to do is get out of town. Of course, it will be noticeable to go out with the foot after the interview, so I will arrange myself.

(After all, I don't seem to notice my identity. Some people were on alert, so I may be followed for a while after getting out of the city ...

(Suppose you leave the Duke of Al Krems, pretending to be a bardless bard.)

"Oh, so what time do you plan to stay?"

Randolph stopped unconsciously, asking Vandaluo's question on his back as if he had read his thoughts.

"... No, I'm going to say hello to Kanako this week and go to another town."

"I see. I was planning to participate as a performer on next week's stage, so I wanted to see the performances ... And Rudolph asked me to try a general-purpose makeover for the performers. I want to.

Can't you just extend your schedule? "

Is that so. I'm honored, but I have a plan, so I will decline.

"Yes, I have no plans to hurry, and only for a week ..."

When he noticed, Randolph uttered the opposite answer to what he had thought inward.

"[Instrument performance] skill level has been raised!

Vandaloo is supposed to have returned to the town of Morksey, but he has not been there. He has returned to the Vidal Empire and interacted with the migrants. He supervises the construction in Garutland and is busy moving around.

Of course, you could leave that to the alter ego, but he was reluctant to do so.

"If I leave everything to the Master, my independence may be jeopardized."

You may not know for yourself what is the body and what is the alter ego. Vandalou remembered that fear.

"I think you think too much?"

"Pauvina, I think so, just in case."

"... I don't understand why I don't feel more critical."

"Levez, do you brush?"

"Please understand"

Vandaloo was at the tunnel construction site in Garutland with the pauvinas. Located on the side of a cliff in the land governed by Glastig, this area has been transformed into a little square by Vandaloo's [Golem Creation] skill.

It was created because it was necessary for construction, such as providing a staircase for the golem to descend to the ground, but it was also an excellent place for an observation deck.

Looking to the left and right, you can see the greenery of the terraced fields and the steep cliff rocks created by Grastig, and from afar, you can see the blue sea where the Doranese Mermaids live and the town governed by Yurak.

Farther away, you can see snow-capped white mountains and cliffs, home to ice giants, and desert and pyramid-like buildings where Andros Scorpion lives.

In the future, it may be a good idea to develop this area as an observatory in earnest. In order to make the offer to the Salzalits, Vandalou thought while brushing Ruvezfor with Pauvina.

"Quy"

"I don't need compassion. I'm not just being pleasured. ''

Paine, who has risen from the Painworm to a monster of a larger moth than Wyvern, touches Levezfor's head as if he cares, but is shaken off.

"Cute good?"

However, Levezfor's words, lying on the ground because he could not stand on his hind legs, seemed only to be strong. Touch his head many times with the antennae.

"Is true! I'm persistent, Pain! “Can't you be honest? I don't know what it is!

"I don't think it's persuasive even in this position."

"I'm honest, Revez"

"Oh oh oh! Forgive me ~!

Levezfol shouts, shaking his tail and wings in a convulsive manner, but it was inevitable that he would be, as long as Vandalu and Pauvina were together.

He knew it himself. That's why he came to Garutland without difficulty, because it was a relatively comfortable place for him.

The gods here, Povaz and Zosa Ceiba, were either gods who fought during the war as Demon Kings, or turned to Demon Kings. The exception was Maris Jaffar, which made Levezfol a comfortable place where no weak god existed.

However, after Marduk's death, he was punished by Tiamat, the highest class dragon belonging to the Vida school, and apologized to other dragons, and above all became a follower (friend) of Pauvina That's why they are not persecuted in the Vidal Empire.

Simply because Levezfor is not good at other Vida dragons.

Furthermore, even in this Gartland, the gods gave a glance of generous mercy to him who is a pet of Vandalu's sister-in-law.

(Zosa Ceiba's kid, he says, "If you make a mistake, I might have been like Revezfor." .

But I will not end this way! Unlock the Wyvern seal and make sure to return to the original dragon shape and look back! )

It may not be possible for him, who is determined to be confidential, but is now in a progressive form, crawls on the ground and is struggling.

…… He is originally a dragon with a mix of water and soil attributes, a dragon who likes marshes, small and medium-sized rivers and lakes rather than the sea. Although it was not impossible to fly in the sky, it is not as good as the current body that can fly freely at high speed.

In other words, while you are in Wyvern, your true form is a dream and a dream.

An earth golem and a clay golem pass by him. Levezfol asked Vandalou to divert the pleasure of running from the mane-grown area.

"But is this a tunnel construction?

At the cliff at the construction site, there was an entrance of a tunnel that was eight meters high and ten meters wide.

On the way from Garutland to the ground, it is expected that monsters will appear many times from underground. Therefore, it was necessary to have enough space for fighters.

With ordinary tunnels, it is difficult for Volks and Giants to fight with large weapons, and monsters that specialize in activities in confined areas have the advantage.

However, digging a large tunnel means that the labor required doubles. The amount of simple digging, and the effort to transport the sediment resulting from the digging, increase. In addition, it is difficult to reinforce the tunnel.

It was solved by Vandalou with the [Golem Creation] skill.

The golem is made of soil and stone, and the golem itself walks out of the tunnel, solving the labor problems of excavation and earth removal. To reinforce the tunnel, the shape of the golem made of stone has been changed to pillars.

"It's construction. Originally, we should recruit workers from the locals, pay them, and make economical exchanges, but that would take a long time and be dangerous."

"No, I haven't thought about that."

"In this way, if a monster suddenly comes out, it's safe because the first attack is not a human but a golem."

"Even if the rock is dug, only part of the rock is a golem, so work efficiency is good."

In response to Pauvina and Vandalu's explanation that this is a good thing, Levezfor has abandoned his own common sense.

"Actually, there are faster methods and methods with romance. There is a method of shooting and digging [world destruction cannon], and a method of creating and digging a giant drill type demon king with [fragment of devil]

Whether it's a bedrock, a mythril or Orichalcum vein, or a monster lurking with hundreds of monsters along the way, it will easily dig through it.

In the case of a giant drill-type commander, it takes more time to remove earth and sand, but it should go faster than the golem drilling method.

"But it's going to collapse soon after digging if it's a [world destruction fake gun]"

"Yes, you'll be digging a long distance at a stretch, so you won't be able to reinforce. In addition, you can't correct the direction or the digging distance, so if you do something bad, you will hit the sealed botine."

The seal of the Demon King, who the Arudas couldn't solve for more than 100,000 years, is probably too strong ... There is no guarantee that they will.

Furthermore, there is a risk that the Ghoons may be noticed by the enormous magic that is released if you shoot the [Kill of Destruction] many times deep underground.

In the case of a giant drill-type familiar, there is a possibility of being noticed by sound. In addition, considering the time and effort, the golem excavation work that was currently underway was selected as a result of repeated studies.

"It's enough for us to sell the minerals from the drilling work."

Salzalit, the head of Glashtig, a tribe with a cliff on the territory where the tunnel construction site is located, ran up from under the cliff.

"I brought lunch. I prepared vegetables and fruits harvested in the morning, and fish pickled in rock salt."

She, a papyrus sag, points to the basket lowered on the scorpion's tail. Following her, several Glastigs appeared up the cliff.

"Thank you. Let's take a break and have lunch."

A roar resembling a lion resounded from the tunnel in response to Vandalou who called out.

When all of them turned their eyes, they scattered the other lands and stone golems from the entrance of the tunnel, and the lion's head and five arms ... one of which was a translucent ghost arm A ghoul with ……, Vigaro has jumped out.

"Vigaro, what happened?"

"Sorry, just me was hard!"

Following Vigaro, five golems with silver-glowing bodies emerged from the tunnel. Unlike a golem that Vigalo kicked away and walked calmly, it raised his arms and resonated with a squealing roar of metal.

"Golem is running away !?"

"No. Van's golems do not move on their own, so I think they are good in many fields."

"It's not an alchemy, it's a golem that has been created by contaminating minerals with magic."

Vandalou and Pauvina show no particular upset against Sarzarit, who is pressured by the power of the golems and involuntarily prepared.

It's not because the golems are weak. In Vandalu's view, the five golems are strong enough for Vigaro to withdraw.

"The material is not iron. Is it mythril or adamantite?"

Nora: Naturally-occurring golems have basically low intelligence, and naturally use magic but do not use martial arts. Only strength and toughness are weapon demons. Its strength depends on the material from which the golem's body is made.

Among them, Mithril and Adamantite golems are considered the strongest, except for the Orichalcum golem, which can only be refined by the gods.

Mithril is an anti-magical defense, and Adamantite is a physical monster with a physical hardness equivalent to rank 10.

"That's right! In Garutland, a flock of iron golems has emerged from mines, but there are five mithril and adamantite golems appearing at the same time! How much is it?"

A powerful golem that does not appear as a dungeon boss in "The Fortress of the Five Gods", and Zarzarit who can not suppress the upset. But the battle began sooner than Vandaloo answered her question.

"Drill, rocket, punch!

Lapiesage, standing by the entrance of the tunnel in preparation for the appearance of a demon, fired both fists. A high-speed spinning fist hits the golem's flank, side, shoulders and chest, causing it to fall.

"'Goooooo! ]

Golems struggle to get up with a roar of anger. Lapiesage retrieves both fists and observes where Golem's own fist hit.

"I have a scar, Mithril. I don't have it ... Adamantite

Looking at it, the golem, called the Mithril, had a sharp mark on the temporal region with a reduced fist, while the Adamantite had only a slight dent.

"" "I understand."

“[Thunder Spear]!

"[Ice ball]!

In response, Yamata fires sonic cannons and magic. The mithril is attacked with a sound gun, and the adamantite is attacked with magic.

Originally a zombie that was a jumble of multiple corpses joined together ... Lapiesage is a female magician's torso, a female warrior's head, and other parts of the monster such as the auger's limbs, and Yamata's dragon species Among them, based on a variant of the lower class Orochi, the head was connected to the upper body of a beautiful woman of a different race, and the intelligence was not high.

The two will attack to determine the nature of the enemy, and will be able to spontaneously perform an operation that divides the type of attack according to the result. Yes, Vandalu was impressed.

"It's easier to understand thanks to you!

Vigaro swings an ax for three golems, other than the two that are held by Lapiesage and Yamata.

"Vigaro, how many were you originally?"

"I don't know the exact number! The tunnel collapsed a little as the tenth body was defeated!"

Apparently, the golems were too strong to keep fighting on the special battlefield, "the tip of the tunnel that has not been reinforced."

Indeed, as he moved out of the battlefield, Vigaro wielded a demon king's shard of axe, launching a one-sided battle against three golems.

"Vigaro seems to be OK, but Lapiesage and Yamata are likely to take longer. Pauvina"

"Yes, let's go, Levez, Payne!"

"Muh, obviously, I'm not good at it, but I can't help!

"Cool!"

Following Pauvina's command, Levezfor and Paine flutter their wings and wings, soar into the sky and follow her.

The devil's piece Mace is reduced to an Adamantite golem, and the body of Mithril Golem, who is at the mercy of Levezfor and Paine, is shaved by a fist of Lapiesage and a sound gun of Yamata.

Vandalu doesn't need to take his hand, so he keeps watching. Have been.

In this case, the golems who have only strength and toughness and can not cooperate with friends of the same kind have no way to do it.

All you have to do is think about repairing the tunnel. Levezfol, slapping his tail on the back of Mithril Golem, suddenly screamed, as Vanderlus thought.

[That! ? Hey! ? Oh, forgive me! Forgive me!

"Revez !?"

Pauvina was surprised and saw something white-bone-like in the tail of Revezfor.

"It seems that something that was in the mythril vein was taken in when the golem was made."

"I'll hit you anyway!"

Levezfor, who panicked, was left to Payne, and Pauvina and Lapiesage concentrated on the Mithril Golem.

The Adamantite Golem was silenced by a mysterious ray emitted by Vandaloo.

"Kyuii ... Kyu !?"

Bathed in calming scales, and pulled out the bone-like thing that Pain had stabbed from the tail of Levezfor lying on the ground.

However, he was surprised at something and immediately dumped it.

"let's see"

"Vandaloo, it's dangerous! We! If you panic, no one can stop!"

"No, there's no reaction to [danger detection: death], and I'm [invalid of abnormal conditions] and [multiple souls]. Oh, but keep the Zalzarits away just in case."

"Hello! Everyone is temporarily evacuated!"

Responding to Vigaro's warning, Vandaloo picked up something. The Salzalits and others go down and observe Glastig.

Something was like a piece of bone. It is not fossilized ... It is a white bone that maintains its strength and viscosity as a bone.

However, the tip of the tunnel is deep underground, far from the ground. It is a place where ordinary bones cannot be found without becoming fossils. It is unlikely that the Mithril Golem that occurred on the ground has dug more than 10,000 meters underground.

Above all, the magic contained in this bone fragment was extraordinary.

"Apparently, it's like the bone of a subgod that's so incomparable to Valfaz and Radatelle, do you know anything?"

Asked by Vanderlu, Revezfol replied lying down.

"It's the bones of all the dragon's fathers," Dragon Emperor Marduke "
