The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

One day later, in the adventurer's guild of Orbaum, the capital of the Orbaum election kingdom, there was a sense of nervousness that felt like a fortress ahead of a major battle.

Anyone with some skill or experienced guild staff is aware of it. They looked to see if the request was urgent, and looked at whether a particular adventurer party was in a severe relationship.

However, the board with the written request written on leaves or bark instead of paper is the same as usual, and there are no dangerous monsters nearby or new dungeons appearing nearby.

And none of the adventurers seemed to develop into a quarrel of intense quarrels and struggles.

However, skillful adventurers who have gained a lot of power in recent years have found themselves at the center of this strange tension.

However, asking them if they have anything, they just get shaken and do not get an answer. Surely, the adventurers and guild officials they knew chose not to go deep, even if something had happened within their peers.

And that was the right answer. The reason is that it is not a content that can be talked about even if it is persistently eaten down .... What exactly is approaching in the first place, they ... Because the hero candidates were not even informed.

"Preparing for a crisis, which could destroy Orbaum ...... I don't know when that crisis will happen or what kind of crisis it is. Is it? "

A young man with a dignified look somewhere sighs as if to exhale.

"Hendriksen, it's not your fault"

"Yes, Hendriksen, don't stare."

Those who gather at the same table as the youth comfort him. Yes, the name of the young man is Hendriksen Hazen. A hero candidate selected and given blessing to the Elder God of the Holy Spear.

He was active as an adventurer in this Orbaum, away from the Duke of Al Krem. And he has met, elected, and sometimes cooperated with more and more God-chosen ones than before.

Hendriksen regretted his actions when he left the Duke of Al Krems and learned that a major event had occurred in which the evil gods who resurrected Al Krem were attacked. However, he was relieved to hear that the Vedist and now the honorary Earl of the Dark Elves had solved the problem.

And, despite making mistakes in the past, Vida reaffirmed that he was a great god who is on par with Aruda, the Holy God.

However, it is not that he did not repent. He had been working in Al Krem and was unable to contribute to solving Al Krem's crisis.

That's why I have honed my skills and built up my strengths to help if something similar happened. Now is the time to exert that power.

Despite that, God doesn't tell you what to do. Should we just wait in the city, or look for criminal movements, or should we focus more on preventing dungeons from running away?

The great danger is imminent, and the oracle cannot be defeated. But I do not know how to follow God's true intentions.

But can we just stay in the city and be prepared to respond immediately when something happens? Is it impossible to avoid or resolve a crisis in advance? No matter how much you think or move, you won't get the answer.

"Somehow, but somehow, I knew that [the devil's shard] was involved, but that's about it."

"Now, a temple with connections in the temple is exploring. Depending on the results, you will know something."

"No, maybe the religion that worships the evil god rather than the temple is planning something?"

The people gathering at the table ... The same hero candidate adventurers as Hendriksen said so. They, and perhaps all of the hero candidates, have been on the same oracle as Hendricksen at the same time.

That's why they were nervous when Orbaum was facing a major crisis.

Each of them has already gained the power of an A-class adventurer. Many other party members have had the same blessing over the past few years.

A minor crisis can be solved by moving one of the Hendricksens. Yet all receiving the same oracle means that there is an imminent crisis that must be met by all.

That was Hendricksen's common understanding.

"Would you like to talk about the Five Colored Blades? Rumor has it that you have been challenged by Alda and have resurrected and resurrected the Heroic God, Bellwood. Maybe from the oracle. ''

And the trends of "Golshoku no Blade", an S-class adventurer of the Orbaum election kingdom, are already well known to Orbaum. Heinz, who has received Alda's blessing long before he has received the blessing of other gods, often sees his hero candidates as his pioneers.

By the way, the hero candidates did not pay much attention to Asagi. For them, the Asagi are just adventurers hired by the Duke of Birgit. Some believe that they may have some kind of divine blessing, just as they did, but none had enough proof to go to talk.

"That's right ... you might have to hear about it. It's not just a coincidence that they came to Orbaum at this time.

But why don't you tell us to cooperate with The Five Colored Blades in the oracle? "

"That's true ... we didn't hear that, right?"

"It's possible. What do you think, Miriam?"

"Wow, me?"

Suddenly talked about, the leader of the Heart Warrior, Miriam, a female adventurer recently called the Legion Leader in the guild, pointed herself in surprise.

It has been in the past few months that she has been attending Hendriksen's gathering. To be clear, it has been about 10 days since Honorable Countess Darcia Zaccato stayed in Orbaum.

Initially, Hendricksen and others were wary of the Miriam and the "Heart Warriors". He was a member of Vida by name, and he did not try to hide his close connection with Darussa Zakart.

But no one looked dangerous. Because the Hendriksens are citizens of the Orbaum election who recognize the Vida religion, and had no idea that they were dangerous because they were Vida.

…… But I was wary of the appearance of Heart Warriors and the oracle from God. At first glance, the giant swordsman, who appears to be a leader, is an extraordinary person who looks more like a bandit's head than an adventurer. The woman of the priest, who looks like her sister, is a beautiful woman, but a priest, not a priest. Dwarf sorcerers are just creepy and scary.

A bearded, single-armed swordsman with a bearded face that seems to have the longest history of adventurers, and a beast race female martial artist with all four limbs are still normal, but the swordsman is somewhat nervous and has a female fight He has a rough tone.

And the real leader, Miriam, is so ordinary that it looks like some sort of trap.

And God has received the oracle that Heart Warriors is dangerous.

However, it is bad to keep the Heart Warriors out of control, and the guild gets scolded for such an attitude when asked to work with multiple parties.

Hendriksen, also from the Duke of Al Krems, took the lead in contacting the Hart Warriors. And Hendriksen knew how they saw them through colored glasses.

"Oh, I'd like to hear your opinion. If you look, you're the coolest of us. If you're aware of anything, whatever. Tell me."

The strong swordsman Arthur is a polite and more polite than any adventurer. Her sister, Karenia, is a woman who is kind and beautiful, suitable for a beautiful saint. Borzofoy, a sorcerer's childhood friend, was a caring sage who helped his friend by pushing his slimness and weakness like a dwarf.

Simon, a one-armed swordsman, and Natania, a female fighter with all four limbs, were also strong and noble spirits who had overcome the handicap he had suffered during the adventure.

Hendriksen was convinced that Miriam, who put them together, was also worthy of respect. He can't even say where he deserves respect, but he thinks it's because of his immorality who still doesn't understand her worth.

Moreover, Arthur protects the goddess of the rain cloud, Bashas, Karynia protects the goddess of the dark night, Zelzeria, Bolzofoy protects the god of shadow, Hamur, Simon and Natania protect the Vida, and Miriam protects the four pillars. They were the same god-selected heroes as the Hendricksens who had all obtained.

Hendriksen therefore began to wonder if Miriam would be chosen by the gods as the leader of not only The Warriors of the Heart, but also of all hero candidates who had God's protection. It would be unnatural for him not to receive the guardianship of the Holy God, Alda, so I haven't told anyone this guess yet.

Of course, Hendricksen's speculation is far from correct. Certainly, the three Arthurs were originally candidates for the heroes of the gods of the same Alda power as Hendricksen, but are now Vida hero candidates because Bashass have turned to the Vida side, and they are now members of Vandalu.

And Miriam, Simon, and Natania are just Vandaloo companions, and were only expected by Vida.

And he used it as a spy in Hendricksen and his hero candidates ... not necessarily. He simply became friends while interacting with the Hendricksens who came together at the request, and was just recognized as a fellow hero candidate.

(I feel so out of place. I seem to be cheating Hendrixen and I want to go back very much!) But I can't teach you the truth, but I just don't think of it Looks like it's bad to tell Hendriksen nothing ...

Miriam thought about it so much and uttered the twisted answer.

"What I felt ... well, it may seem unpleasant, but maybe you don't know what kind of threat is imminent on God?"

Listening to a believer with strong religion is a word that can be taken as disrespect for God. However, there are only adventurers here, even with God's protection. They're not religious, but they're also seeing everyday reality.

"I see. Indeed, it's exactly what I was told."

"The gods are neither almighty nor omniscient. We seem to have forgotten it. At all, I am sorry that I was blessed with God.

"That's why we, with blessing and knowing the effects, were so delusional about the power of the gods. Thank you, I woke up thanks."

"Eh, yes. I'm honored to help you."

Miriam was surprised by the obedient praise that came after her. However, for Hendricksen and others, it was a legitimate point that "something is unknown to God."

If the gods are omnipotent and almighty, the gods themselves should be able to lightly dismiss themselves without giving blessings to the people in the first place to deal with evil gods of the demons, remnants of the Demon King's army, and [Shards of the Demon King].

In the first place, the demon king Gudranis, who emerged from another world, must have repulsed without summoning a hero.

At that point, the gods are not omnipotent. He is far more broadly and deeply knowledgeable than humans, and possesses great power far beyond humans, but he is less than omniscient and almighty.

In the first place, some of the gods who blessed Hendricksen are human beings who have accomplished feats. It's impossible to think you know everything in the world.

"Probably, the gods knew that Orbaum was on the verge of a crisis with a sharper intuition and rule of thumb than we did, but did not know what it was or when it would happen.

That's why we have to find out what it is while preparing for the crisis. Is that kind of thing? "

"Yes, well, I guess that's not the case ..."

For Miriam, it is only recently learned that God is not omnipotent. God, who she knows well, does not think anything unexpectedly, fails normally, or asserts that she is human.

The subgods who fought on the Devil's continent, even better than humans, were not alone in transcending humans.

Of course, not only did he speak of his own experience, but he also wanted to keep Hendriksen from coming in contact with the Five Colored Blade.

"So, is it useless to ask [Five Colored Blades] to provide information ..."

"No, it's not bad to listen just in case. And I want to keep my face connected for time."

However, Hendricksen and his colleagues decided to make contact with the Five Colored Blades because they could not talk about the relationship between Vandalu and the Five Colored Blades.

"The role is-"

"Of course we will do it, please be relieved."

"Oh, there's something wrong with the Miriams."

"Thank you very much. I appreciate it"

Miriam exhaled relievedly, not having to do a face-to-face role with the Heinz. The Hendricksens were more concerned with the Vida fundamentalism of their teacher and friend, Vandalou, and the religious issues of the Ardatism, rather than theirs.

"But Arda and Vida ... we can work together without religious conflicts. At least, adventurers who are not affiliated with the temple alone"

Resting his hand on Hendricksen's shoulder, Arthur said.

"Mr. Hendriksen, you are right. The evil ... When the evil god Folzajivar resurrected, not only us and Darussia, but also the members of the temple of Arda stood up.

Once again, if anyone knows that the crisis is approaching Olbaum, everyone should be up. ''

"I lived, when the city of Moxie was endangered by a runaway dungeon, we all adventurers, knights and soldiers stood up."

"So, be prepared now, just in case."

"That's right. Build up your strength in case of emergencies and be able to move anytime!"

The descending morale returns with the command of Hendricksen, encouraged by the words of Arthur and Simon.

"Is it good? I feel like I'm cheating ..."

However, Miriam was unable to become a friend. Neither Arthur nor Simon is lying. It does not mean that Hendricksen is leading them to their advantage.

The only thing they do is work together to reduce the damage to others in case of an emergency (when the six roads begin to move).

There's no point in not telling all the truth. There is, however, the story of the reincarnates, which is ridiculous for Hendricksen and it is doubtful that they will believe it. And we're not the ones who are plotting, but the ones who are trying to prevent them.

This is not to say that they are trying to get involved in the battle between reincarnations. If Rikudo St. is only targeting Vandalu, that's right. However, given that Rokudo Seiji did in Origin, it is unlikely that he would aim only at Vandaloo and his associates, and be careful not to involve unrelated people.

So it's not bad to ask Hendricksen to cooperate so that innocent people can be in danger.

"Okay, they know the truth ... after everything is over."

`` Hi-hi-hi, the gods who blessed them did not even say we, because they are expected by the gods to move 'without danger to the people of Orbaum' Isn't Miriam bother? "

"Yeah, I'm not saying anything about" Five-colored blade ", and I don't think I'm doing anything wrong."

"That's the same."

Miriam, so preached by Callinia, Borzofoy, and Natania, was convinced, except for a little grievance.

In addition, the goddess of the Holy Spear, who gave blessings to Hendriksen, and the elks who cooperated with them in the Five-Colored Blade, or warned Miriam and the Vandalu behind it, to incite hostility The reason for not giving out is that Vandaloos have not aimed for a hero candidate so far, and are trying to maintain their lull.

The purpose of the confrontation with Vandaloo is its original purpose, but if it is Rokudo Holy behind Telakhanis, it will give the fisherman advantage.

Attempts to prevent it had resulted in Orbaum's hero candidates being merely waiting.

By the way, Asagi and the five-colored blades have already arrived at Orbaum.

However, The Five Colored Blades only came to the adventurer's guild once, and never came to Asagi.

The Heinz and the Five Colored Blades spend more time gathering information and contacting the Arda Temple and the nobles of the Arda Reconciliation than the Adventurer's Guild, and helping to unite the Reconciliation. To be precise, it is demanded by the religious clergy and nobles.

As Vida fundamentalism has become so active, the opportunity for Heinz to emerge from the dungeon has spurred Arda reconciliation to rebound. And Heinz, who needs their power also to gather information, cannot control it.

Asagi and his colleagues thought that unexpected encounters with Vandaloo and his colleagues in the Orbaum adventurer's guild could lead to trouble.

As a result, ironically, hero candidates remained in a position to move for the people.

At that time, Vandaloo was thinking and pondering about gnoronyoro.

Is nyoronyoro an adjective or an action? What is the appropriate thickness and number? Is the surface slimy or terra terra? I have many discussions but only one answer.

"Nyoronyoro!"

Playing in the sea with the tentacles flapping and wagging, Vandalu and Bander, Spura's Privel, the Queen of Lamia's Tanato, and Mari and Yamata nodded.

"Me, you look happy if you move around in a string."

"I don't seem to like it in that sense. However, recently it seems that somebody can understand only by gnoronyoro. "

"Yeah, just looking at the tentacles tells you who you are. It looks like you're using suckers, scales, and movement habits."

"When I was first hit, I was really surprised."

"really?"

"That's true. Even if I transformed, my mom's eyes did not fool."

"Mari's Nyoronyoro is awkward from the beginning"

`` 'It's not' Nyoro-Nyoro, it's like Kunekune '' '

"Kup, because humans don't have tentacles or tails ... Nyornyoro, who always makes mom happy ..."

"Well, Vandaloo, didn't he have any other requirements?"

When Mari decided to further enhance Metamorph's transformation abilities, Vandalou returned to me when he was approached by a half-hearted Hiroshi.

"That's right. She came to Mali and ask for clues to find the six roads."

"So why are you talking about gnoronyoro?"

"No face"

Multiple tentacles from the sleeves ... Haku sighed at Vandaloo, with different types of tentacles stretched on the surface covered with suckers, scales, and mofumofu hair.

"So uncle Rokudo ... what do you want to hear about Rokudo? I don't know so much ..."

"When you hide and do bad things, how do you hide them?"

"Oh, yeah, it's impossible for me."

In Vandalu's words, Hiroshi quickly raised the white flag. At any rate, he knew very little about the true nature and habits of Rokudo, as he was completely deceived and respected by Rokudo Holy until Bander appeared.

"I thought so, but I don't know much. However, perfectionism, or something that seems to collapse at once when something unexpected happens, was a person who would make perfect preparations without it."

"Huh, the preparations at Origin were normally perfect, so it wasn't until my God and the goddess, but after he got up."

Cali, a clumsy man with a tentacle raised in Metamol, and Bocall, who appeared to crawl from the bottom of the sea, replied.

Mari used the metamorphic abilities of Transformation, and was used as a samurai of Rokudo St. In fact, some of the six sacred roads that he knew were her who had turned into a six-way road.

And Bochol is one of the experimental bodies of Rokudo's death attribute magic research. Although he has no personal connection, he knows the cunning and readyness of Rokudo.

"Well, why come out of such a place !?"

"Of course, with my goddess, she cast herself to receive God's blessing. Gabriel and Yukijorou don't seem to have come out yet."

"Wow !? Gabrielle !? Yukijorou-san !? Pash, mash! ?? Why are you?"

"No, it looks fun and just ... take this sucker ..."

"Oh, sorry, it's my tentacle sucker."

The sea of tentacles seemed to involve various people. Because anyone who jumps in is accepted, not just the underworld. Only in the sea.

"So, it's about Rokudo ... but I don't really know much about it, though I can imitate my personal habits, tone, and expression.

Like this "

While saying so, Mari transformed herself into a metamorphic form from a tentacle-shaped hand to the appearance of Rokudo-sei when he was a human.

"Where do I hide my important things and myself ... it's hard to guess. Origins also have a hint of abandoned submarines and small hideouts in Antarctica. But in Lambda, nobody knows more than you ... and when he became self-proclaimed as "Ark Avalon," his character seemed to have changed a lot. "

Mari, who spoke in the form of Rokudo when he was a human, also turned into an "Ark Avalon" ... three meters tall.

"I know as much as you do about the six roads after this appearance. Should I say that my nature has come out, or should I say that the screw has come off ..."

"Of course, the appearance is similar to the way of speaking, but it is not possible to resemble memory and thinking, so it is also so. I do not understand the idea of Rokudo trying to become God at all"

"... well, I guess so"

Mali nodded in the words of Ark Avalon in the words of Vandalu, the god who claimed to be a human.

"Isn't it still going against construction?" I think it's better to give up.

"I don't think I can beat public opinion."

"Of course, we are protesting decisively. Just because we're a minority doesn't mean we can't be silent and silent."

Despite Privelle and Tanat's dismissal, Vandaloo was determined.

Obviously, the result will be the same as when the giant statue was constructed. The will of powerless people without public support has been violated, even though it is known that the construction of the Grand Temple in the theme park of Vandalu will not stop.

"I mean, I guess I built huge statues in the swampy areas where Scylla moved and in Lamia."

"" "

"Huh !? Rokudo !?"

"Oh, sorry sorry, I'll break myself now"

Urulika of [Echo] came to see him and screamed, surprised at the appearance of Ark Avalon, and Mari dissolved himself.

"I was surprised at Mari ... and why were you transformed into him?"

"Actually-"

Urulika was briefed, but nodded. But she doesn't have any information about the six-way hiding place or how to make it.

"The pride remained high, so if Mari danced in that form and learned from Kanako, wouldn't she come out right away?"

"I hate that. I have shame. I'm not an exposed person to dance in that form. I can't stand it."

For Mari, dancing in the form of Arc Avalon, not dance, seems to be humiliation.

"So, all I know is that the Vandaloos are lurking in places they can never find, in an invisible way."

"Aunt Ulrika, isn't that something you can't do?"

"Haku, we didn't realize that we were tricked by Rokudo until we were taught by Bander."

"... Ah, yeah, that's right. I didn't notice at all until I was told by Bander."

They once again realized the completeness of the performance and impersonation of Rokudo. However, it is not surprising that Hiroshi, a child, did not notice.

"... I see. You may find six ways. Thank you, Ulrika."

But Vandaloo seems to have come up with something.

"Well, what? Bander !?"

"Haku, I'm not always connected to my body and my thoughts."

"It's not a strange idea. It's just a matter of numbers."

The protection of Vandalu

Demon explanation: Impmouth by Luciliano

A rat that has been given the blood of Vandalu and has become a demon-type monster. In the sense of a small devil (imp) rat, the monster has low combat ability, but intelligence is quite high.

In addition, since the body size is the same as that of a rat, the stealth ability is quite high.

It has no special ability to secrete poison, so it is very difficult to kill people, not just adventurers, but ordinary cats have physical abilities that are not easily lost.

In addition, because you have a high level of skill enhancement [Vandaloo], you can explode your physical ability by eating the blood of Vandalu. Tadano rats outnumber medium-sized hounds.

However, it is still a monster that specializes in stealth abilities. In addition, fertility is as strong as rats.

It seems that only Tadano rats, the founder of Impmouth, currently have [Conduct] and [Vandalu's Blessing].
