The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

For a while after the retirement of the former Scylla Autonomous Territory and the screams of the now deceased Bravaille, the body of Vandaloo, along with Darussia, was in Orbaum, the capital of the Orbaum election.

Population about 5 million. Despite its history, it is the most populous metropolis in the Orvaum election. It is more than one hundred and sixty times as large as Moxy with a population of about 30,000 and about five times as large as Almrem with about one million people.

When the twelve small nations gathered to form the Elbaum election in order to go beyond the great threat of the Amid Empire, the independent city that became the capital of the election was originally based.

"Fifty years ago, it was said that A-class and B-class dungeons were nearby, and it was an independent city of 10,000 people that had developed as a base for top adventurers who challenged it.

It's amazing that it will become the capital of the election of Orbaum, and money and people will flow in from other dukes, and it will evolve to this extent over 500 years. ''

"Awesome, Van"

When Panda talks about Vandalu, who holds her arms tightly, she nods around the city.

Talosheim, which is evolving (changing) every day with golem architecture, has not lost, but Olvaum, which has a large population, is still higher in size and vigor.

In addition, the technical ability of human society to build a big city so far, even though there was no user of [Golem creation] skill, exceeded Pauvina's imagination.

"Yes, absolutely. At that time there were some small cities in every country. The Telcatanis and Dolmados, who were only celebrities in the small city, were given aristocratic status instead of abandoning the city's autonomy, and now the Marquis ... That's it. "

"The characteristics of humans that increase in a short time are probably the most obvious places."

"Kiihihi! How humorous those who claim to be the rulers of this country? I do not realize that their reign is due to the great mercy of Mr. Vandalou ... "

And ghosts of light attributes waiting around Vandalu. He was a vampire who lived for more than tens of thousands of years, and Tipras, Darouk and Beerkert, who knew when the Orbaum election was founded, were sarcastic and ridiculous.

"Chipras, don't mix irony too much with tourist information. Darouk, I'll say many times, I, my mother and Pauvina are all human.

Beer Celt is in good shape today. ''

"Haha, sorry"

"Hahaha, Vandaloo-sama has a great sense of humor!

"Oh! praised! I'm honored! To wear! Excess !

Darouk doesn't recognize Vandaloos as humans, even though Chipras apologizes. And Beer Celt whose behavior is disturbed by joy.

"... By the way, can I walk on my own foot now?"

It wasn't because Panda had been carried around by Panda that he was a punishment for having trouble with the judging that his followers were able to take over.

"No good"

Vandalu rejected by Pauvina with a soft voice. The voice is soft, but the power is strong. If ordinary people were being grabbed, they would have quickly crushed the bones.

"At the time of the judging, I asked you in advance to say," It's impossible to suppress, so please stop with force "."

"But no good"

However, it is not ordinary people that are being grabbed, but Vandaloo, so he doesn't even look painful.

Because of that, there was no sympathy for Vandaloo.

"That's true?"

"Yes, that's right. It's too much for my mother to stun all the gate guards except the captain."

`` The prosthetic hand made a bad sound and squealed to hold down the master, and even so far it sprinkled a great deal of killing, my gall was cold. ''

"I'm glad the stunned guards noticed right away, but I think the people behind us were annoying."

Darussia scolded her finger with a light scream, and Simon and Miriam smiled bitterly. However, because he thinks he's better than the last time he entered the Alklem for the first time.

In the past, he was silent and silent, and tried to attack the guard from behind. What prevented this was the fine play of the Prebell, which would have had a hard time hiding the situation.

However, this time, he voluntarily asks to hold down in advance. In fact, he was also a power and killer.

If Vandalu gets serious, he has the physical ability to fight close to a true giant, 100 meters long, and injure him not too shallow. Aside from Darussia, in Simon and Miriam, when he gets serious, he is just tossed like a leaf. He did not use Demon King's Demon Eyes.

But the bigger reason is resignation.

In the future, Vandalu may be a little better for this judging. Maybe you can do better.

But it won't work out. Because there is such a resignation.

…… Because of the noise at the gates, there is a reason that one pedestrian can walk smoothly because of the distance between other pedestrians.

Nevertheless, there are many curiosity gazes on Pauvina and Eisen, so it would have been quite crowded if they had entered the city without incident.

"That baron is full of modoki!"

Pauvina doesn't mind, and Eisen seems to be layering with Baron Cuoco Lux, who is fascinated by the syrups made from his sap by gastronomic passers-by.

The association with the Baron family seems to have strengthened her resistance to others.

"I'm afraid we've apologized to the people behind us."

"Everybody ... I feel like I was pulling a little, but he smiled and forgave me."

Arthur and Karyna, who had been responding to the surroundings instead, had no place to hold down because the body was small, and nodded to say so.

"Kuhihi. How about that ...?"

But, as Borzofoy said uneasy, those who stood behind the Vandaloos who were apologized to Arthur were a strong man with muscular bones and a beautiful glowing woman with a somewhat eerie atmosphere If you apologize, you may only feel intimidated.

"Well, okay."

"I agree"

As Arthur's personality becomes known, small bad reputations will turn into laughter.

Instead, you must first complete your purpose of coming to Olbaum before entering adventurous school.

Its purpose is to buy a house to live in Orbaum, just like when you first arrived in the city of Moxy.

This time, however, Darussia was the Honorable Earl, and because it was not a trading city but a royal city, he decided to buy a noble residence instead of a detached house.

Although it is an honorary noble for a generation, many people still buy a mansion. And there are a number of mansions in Olbaum that are for sale for various reasons.

One of them is purchased and remodeled like a house in the town of Moxy, and used as a base.

To that end, the Vandaloos visited the Senoba firm, which is also famous for Orbaum.

The visiting Senopa Shokai was famous, but it was also a famous real estate agent who bought a house from a noble faller and sold it to its customers, rich nobles and matures.

We buy and renovate any kind of house, and sell it in exchange for a high price for the house as requested by the buyer.

The secret of this business is that it is connected to the Temple of Arda by a powerful pipe.

The royal aristocrats are not all innocent princes, and many of them sell the “Iwakutsuki Mansion”, a haunted house that appears in ghost stories, which has become a habitat for ghosts and demons.

To deal with red-billed bills that ooze out no matter how much you clean and dishes that don't fly around in the air, ghosts appear and try to kill intruders directly, get training for undead. You need a group of light magicians and clergy from the temple of Arda.

The Senopa Shosha then pays the Cardinals of the Temple of Arda and sends priests, the apostles of God, to turn the evil mansion into a second-hand property.

Of course, if an undead occurs in the city, it is the duty of God's followers to purify without receiving a grant from a real estate agent.

However, the ghosts from the mansion often do not leave the mansion premises. Because it is a so-called terrestrial spirit, the magic can spread outside the premises, the spirit enters from outside and becomes undead, and if you seal a gate or fence with a guard to prevent such a situation, the adverse effects may spread Will prevent it.

Therefore, in many cases, it is determined to be a "low urgency project" and is postponed.

Also, because of the location of the noblemen, the priest who practices God's teachings, with or without giving, tends to be less involved in the cursed mansion. … In fact, it is irrelevant for the people of Ichii who can't afford expensive payments.

Of course, that's a problem if you leave it alone. Since the amulet's effect is neither eternal nor absolute, the undead inside the mansion may increase in strength and number and break the seal between decades and hundreds of years.

Therefore, the government of the elected kingdom asks the temple to purify the old cursed mansion. On the contrary, the temple raises a heavy waist saying, "You can leave it until the government of the elected kingdom asks." There is no trend.

Some have whispered that purging may be deliberately delayed in order to make Cardinal's children successful.

By the way, adventurer magicians who do not belong to the temple can purify in the same way. You can, but you don't have to think about the bad news of the owner in front of the house from the mouth of the ghost.

Therefore, it is an implicit understanding that these projects are dealt with not by the adventurers but by the shy temple officials.

That's why the strong connections of Senopa Shokai can be a weapon for business.

Employees of the Senopa firm were therefore surprised when the honorary Earl of Darussia Zaccato appeared as a guest. I never thought she would be a new tribe of Vida, a Vida saint, who would come to this store, which has a close relationship with the temple of Arda.

They knew from a network of merchants that Darusia's son, Vandaloo, and his sister, a girl named Pauvina, would come to the elected capital of Olbaum to enter an adventure school.

At that time, you may buy a mansion instead of a luxury inn. If so, he said that the real estate agent who brought them to the customer was lucky ...

"This is the only property that meets your requirements."

A young Senopa Shokai employee pointed at the property with his sales smile, sticking to his cold, sweaty face.

"The floors and walls are large enough for even those over 3 meters tall to be able to use them. There is a basement and a large garden.

Just ... as you can see. "

The employee pointed to a fine mansion by hand. It boasts the size and facilities appropriate for a noble home, which cannot be lived in a baron or baron.

But he was obviously cursed.

The walls are all-you-can grow ivy, and the uncovered walls are eerie. Also, today's Orbaum looks unnaturally dim only around the mansion, although it should be sunny.

And beyond the expensive glass window, you can see a person who shouldn't be there.

If you have everything up to this point, on the contrary, laughter will come up. If you don't have to enter the house, though.

"But it's a nest of demons and ghosts that even the priests of Arda couldn't cleanse. And there was a problem with the previous owner ..."

"Is it a problem?"

"Yes, I can't say the name, but the Duke's brother, who lived about a hundred years ago, lived here ... but he seemed to have a hobby that wasn't very noble."

He continues to explain that he may be a minor, and that he does not seem to be a child as an individual, but that he cannot be heard by Pauvina, but only by Darussia and Simon.

"They reported that not only criminal slaves but also illegally bought slaves, tramp children and street prostitutes from slums were taken to their homes and tortured and killed in basements.

It seems that the crime was erased with power, but finally he reached out to a child of another noble family, was dismissed by the parents' house, fell from a noble to a commoner, and was beheaded by a decapitation stand as it was But ... the rest of the mansion suddenly became undead. "

"But it's been a hundred years? Did you ask the temple to purify?"

Natavna asks an employee to change the Vandaloo number from Pauvina. Surprisingly, she is not good at scary things like ghost stories.

"Yes. We purchased this property about thirty years ago, but the priests and priests of Arda, Peria, and the Temple of Recrent have tried several times before purifying. However, it seems that the previous owner built a number of hidden rooms and hidden passages in the mansion, and even set up traps ... The inside of the mansion was as dangerous as a real dungeon.

Thanks to that, purification work is very difficult ... It seems that no nucleus that evil spirits and ghosts occur has been found yet. "

"Oh, that's awkward. Many traps in dungeons are simple, but what people set up ... it's difficult to spot and trap, especially to hide something."

As Miriam agrees, traps set up in dungeons are often simple traps set up for the simple purpose of interfering with or eliminating an intruder.

A so-called booby trap, a pit or a treasure chest that emits poisonous gas when opened with a relatively elaborate object.

There are almost no hidden dungeons in ordinary dungeons, such as hidden rooms intended to be invisible to intruders, and hidden passages in which doors cannot be opened without manipulating the decoration of furniture or part of the walls in the room.

Adventurers and priests are not used to seeing such tricks. That would be a thief's skill.

However, it is impossible for a thief to survive against the undead opponent in the house. It is meaningless for adventurers and priests to escort unless they have the courage to search for a mansion while ignoring their fellow fighters nearby.

"Yeah, and with every resurrection, the undead has become stronger, and now there is no effect with average light magic."

"That's right ... Vandaloo, are you almost there?"

"Yes, it's almost there, mom."

Employees turn their faces confused, but for Vanderlu, his explanation has already been heard.

Who we heard from is, of course, the evil spirit or the grudge.

"This is a terrible mansion. I was just stealing, but I was killed by demons ....! Be careful of the stairs

"I was killed just because I came to the garden to bury the corpse. I guess if you bury it here, you'll be convinced that even if you find a corpse, it's the evil spirit of the mansion! I was hiding in the garden well , and I was killed by a monster.

"Pass with the buried corpse! I'm going to be a monster soon! Transfer to the tree in the garden Give your blood, your blood! A little, a little !

"Don't be fooled by the baboons and the guys, this real estate agent kills the inconvenient living and throws it away in this mansion. Watch out, for the Pomyaders! ……eh? Is this a Senopa Shokai? Pia, I guess the chairman of Pomjadel was dead ten years ago. e? Thirty years ago, this mansion has been handled by Senopa Shokai.

In front of the iron gate with the amulet, there are many undead spirits. Most are spirits that have been dead for a few years, before they have yet to be undead, but some have drifted for centuries and have spoken to Vandaluo about themselves.

An employee of the Senopa firm didn't say it, and he wasn't actually aware of which duke's brother was the man who caused this mansion to be cursed.

Employees turn their terrifying faces toward the mansion beyond the gate, but Vandaluo's ears hear the voices of the spirits rushing from inside the gate.

Furthermore, since approaching Orbaum, the spirits of Orbaum have flooded around Vandalu and are speaking.

Unlike the seven-year-old who visited the Duke of Hartner, he has skills such as [super-fast thinking], [group thinking], and [complete recording], so if time is spent, information from countless spirits will be collected and analyzed. It is also possible to do.

(The owner in front of this mansion is the brother of the Duke of Jahan ..... I was glad it wasn't Al Krem)

Apparently it was the residence of the Duke of Jahan, known for being a giant.

The House of the Duke of Jahan is a home of giant ancestry, whose head is a reincarnation and a complete giant, but centuries ago the head was a large and relatively long-lived race, and has already passed away.

However, he punished his brother's work without hiding it and did not enter the duke's tomb after being beheaded, so he made enough compensation for the crime, so Vandalou will do something to the current head I'm not going.

The fact that the Senopa firm did not mention the name of the Duke of Jahan is also a result of his self-interest. In both the Amid Empire and the Orbaum Electoral Kingdom, the royal nobles and the commoners are separate creatures, and it is only the priests who dedicate their lives to discipline and religion apart from the secular, that the idea that "all people are equal" Is the fact.

(My country is also aristocratic, but ... I want to make the status gap even more calm.)

Because it is an absolute monarch, it is difficult to completely equalize. With that in mind, Vandalu told Natania, holding herself, and approached the gate.

"" "Hy !?" "

Immediately after that, the windows and doors of the house, which can be seen in the back of the garden, make intense noises, and the unmaintained and unlimited garden trees and grass wriggle like animals, and the gate, which should be sealed, Trembling and harsh metal sounds.

Involuntarily, Natania and Miriam scream, employees scream, Simon and Arthur reflexively hold, and Darussia smiles.

"It's so cute that Vandalou is just so happy."

"Yes, I don't feel bad"

"I'm fine, despite the bad sunshine"

However, it appears to Darussia and Vandalu that it was a sign of the joy and welcome of the cursed mansion. ...... Vanderu says that's true.

In the craze, I am impressed by the movement of the evil plants in the garden.

"Oh, well, if that's the case ..."

"The doors and windows that open and close violently may resemble the movement of a friendly dog's tail."

"That's right, brother. A dog shakes its tail like that when it's happy."

Simon and Arthur return their hands to the weapon reflexively, releasing their attitude with a relaxed expression. In particular, Arthur and Callinia are relaxing with their cheeks loose, chewing the cursed mansion on top of a friendly dog.

"What are you happy about?"

"Oh, I was surprised."

Natania and Miriam are also sighing relief.

"Why do you think that's it !? Isn't it a terrible cursed house !?"

Those who cannot be convinced or relieved are the employees of Senopa Shokai. His face is now blue and his knees are shaking like a newborn fawn standing for the first time.

"This is dangerous. Let's get away now. That's it!"

"Oh, great tongue and vital capacity."

The next moment Vandaloo was impressed by the employee's tongue and vital capacity, the sealed gate was opened to flip.

And the ivy that grows like a snake is entangled in Natania holding Vandalu, and she drags him together.

"Gee ah ah ah ah !?"

"Natania, in such a case, I think people who scream more like that will be more exciting."

And he was pulled into the back of the house door.

"That's hard!"

Employees who could only see off the sight managed to endure their faintness.

Cenopa firms certainly have the temple of Arda and a thick pipe. He pays a large sum to the temple of Arda and often goes to hear the sermons.

However, many of the members of the firm, including the commercial chairman Senopa, are not ardent Arda members. Because it is the temple of Arda that is useful for business, it only has a deep pipe with the temple of Arda.

For this reason, he has no intention of hostile to Darussia and Vandalu. It simply introduces the most troublesome cursed mansion of any property he has as a pose to the temple of Arda.

After refusing to buy the property, they simply introduced other firms and responded carefully, trying to make it easier.

(In this state, my ... no, my future!)

Nevertheless, it would be a serious liability if one of the Honorable Earl's sons was injured because of the property he introduced.

Ardaists with radical ideas may applaud, but that does not mean they will protect the Senopa firm and its employees who have inadvertently hurt their noble children.

The Commerce Chairman will protect you, but you will end up firing yourself.

Employees seemed to see their future leaving Olbaum to escape with their family, relying on some cash and a letter of introduction given by the chairman when he was fired.

"Even though the seal has never been broken, why is it ...?"

"Maybe, if the cursed mansion becomes serious, could that seal be broken at any time?" I didn't do it just because I had no reason to do it. '

"But, the appearance of demons trying to break out of the seal and go outside has been confirmed many times ..."

"It's probably a priest who challenged the mansion and was defeated, and a demonic that the burglar who sneaked in has become undead. I think I wanted to escape from the house where I killed me.

But they're not led by the mansion, so they have nothing to do with the mansion's will. '

"Well, the intention of the house. Are you familiar with the undead ...

The employee turned around, noticing that the person he had been talking to was not Dalcia or Callinia, but a crampon with a slave collar, and lost his words. He thought that it was a highly intelligent monster, but he did not think he had any more insight than he did and was astonished.

"Certainly, the house cannot move with or without a seal, and even if it is sealed, thieves and criminals will sneak in and the victims will not be bothered."

"Huh, then there's no reason to break the seal in the mansion. Rather, a sealed intruder is too strong to be able to handle ... Prevents the intervention of a top adventurer who can clear the mansion from outside You can do things. "

"That's right! Then, were we used properly !?"

"Kukukuku, you seem to have been deceived. You're not bad at all. It's like a little accident."

"Oh, oh, oh oh!"

"It's okay if you don't look like that, my employee's brother. Arthur and Callinia only supplemented the guesswork of Eisen's sister, and Borzofoy tried to reassure you in shock and felt guilty. I wasn't trying to inspire him. "

Simon calms down an employee who has begun to scream with a desperate face. By the way, it's easy to forget when you're with Arthur, but Simon himself is strong. About a year ago I have improved my consciousness and life and shaved my shave.

"But the mansion seems to like Vandaloo and let's go here. Employees, can you show me the contract? Am I ok to pay now?"

"Mr. Darussia, I think it's better to return to the Senopa firm once and pay. Perhaps it will cost millions of baum, so it will be too heavy to take alone."

And Darussia and Miriam seek to buy a terrifying cursed mansion that breaks the seal, without worrying about the safety of their son or Natania.

Various mentally shook employees shook their heads like broken dolls. It was a property that was originally refused and is not going to sell. You can't have a contract.

"Is that so? I can't help. I go to Senopa and Senopa Shokai to buy this house.

Eisen is treated as a follower, so please wait at Tamer's Vandalu and the mansion. Miriam waits in front of the gate, explaining that the seal is broken when people come in, so as not to make a fuss. ''

"Yeesss……"

"Please choose for me!"

They all start moving apart. The employee, if he noticed, was seated alongside Simon on the carriage and returned to Senorpa.

Then, at the Senopa Shokai, the CEO said, "I can't sell that dangerous property," but Darussia said, "Okay, there's no danger anymore. I swear to the goddess Vida and the brave Zacht." As much as I thought she was put on, a leather bag full of platinum coins, gold nuggets, jewelry, and about 10 million Baum were shown off with a possible treasure.

As a three-story house with a large garden and historic paintings and furnishings, he purchased the house for an exceptional 300,000 Baum.

Thus, among the nobles, merchants and temple officials of Orbaum, information circulated that "Honored Earl Darussia Zaccato of the Duke of Al Krem purchased that cursed mansion."

○ Demon commentary: Cursed mansion From literature in the Adventurer's Guild Library

Precisely, the undead inhabit and manipulate the doors, stairs, and furniture, and the building itself is not a demon, but it is a demon for convenience.

It often happens in a noble or large merchant's mansion, where the owner has been killed by the entire family or, conversely, the owner has tortured and killed a servant or mistress.

There are countless undeads on the grounds of the mansion, and since it is a group around the mansion, it is not counted as one or two animals, but it is collectively called "cursed mansion".

The difficulty of subjugation depends on the size of the house, the tricks applied, and the strength of the undead that has occurred.

Merchants' residences have some hidden rooms to protect their hidden assets, but in the case of nobles, there are many tricks, such as escape routes to escape in case of emergency. Some aristocrats set up a number of gimmicks in their homes that they would never use in everyday life.

Since many monsters generated in the mansion are undead by servants, prostitutes, and children who have been taken away, there are few undead that use magic like rich.

However, ghosts that are difficult to physically attack, living mails with cursed armor and paintings on the house, cursed paintings, cursed weapons, etc. attack from the blind spot, so it is absolutely necessary to be careful.

A mansion that has been left for more than a few hundred years and has become seriously contaminated with magical elements has become almost the same as a real magical environment, and the insects and rats that inhabit the garden plants and the mansion become monsters, further increasing the risk .

In the case of a lower-class noble mansion such as a baron, the mansion is small and there are few gimmicks. If there are five priests equivalent to class D adventurers, it can be purified. However, in the case of the Duke's mansion, high priests equivalent to A-class adventurers are often required.

In Orbaum, the cursed mansion is often not delegated to the adventurer's guild, but in other Dukes' capitals, the adventurer may deal with it rather than the temple.

In that case, it is recommended that you talk with the client carefully, such as whether monstered works are destroyed and do not require reimbursement, or whether walls and doors can be broken during subjugation.

By the way, if you can hit the assault magic from the outside of the premises toward the house and destroy it, or if you can spray oil and burn the entire house, the difficulty of defeating will be much lower.

However, in many cases, there is no permission from the client, so give up. Even if permission is granted, if the bullet hits the house of the next noble or the fire spreads, in the worst case, it will be tied up with the client and beheaded. At best, you will be paying a large amount of compensation, so be careful.

According to the hero Fermaun Gord, "living humans are scarier."
