The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 56 (1/2)
Other than those ere absent as they were clearing Dungeons, Vandalieu had gathered his main companions in the hall of the royal castle
They had to discuss what to do now that the invasion of the Mirg shi+eld-nation and Vampires had been confirmed They also had to taste-test the mayonnaise trial product
“Delicious! It’s ridiculously delicious!” Borkus exclaimed
“I think it needs a little ested
“I see,” said Zadiris “I think it is quite acceptable as it is…”
“This is…! I have never tasted a flavor like this! Vandalieu-sama, what did you use to create this?!” asked Eleanora
Bone Chiroan
“Eh? Wha –” There was a scream
“Ah! Rapiéçage is getting a hold of Tarea-san to get the mayonnaise stuck around her mouth!” Saria exclaimed
“Please stop her instead of just watching!” Tarea shouted
“Ahah~♪ We can’t hear the words of Tarea-san who gets to try out delicious foods that we can’t eat~☆” Rita told her
“Nooooooo! You heartless fool!”
“It cannot be helped, here, I will give you this, so stop –”
Zadiris offered Rapiéçage the er in her
“… Boy, this Zoth”
“Hence of the Undead really does drop if I don’t use the body’s original spirit,” Vandalieu observed “Adding more spirits turned out to be quite pointless as well”
Militaryto be the current topic nobody could win against their appetites
Well, Rapiéçage wasn’t intelligent enough to have discussions or anything like that Other than listening to Vandalieu’s cole word
Vandalieu had tried adding more spirits to her like with Bone Man, but it had no effect at all Maybe Bone Man was a special case, or perhaps a suitable a and life experience(?) was needed? Vandalieu decided to assume that it was the latter and wait for her to develop
Zombies and Skeletons, like children, could not be raised hastily
“Rappie, release Zadiris’s finger from your mouth,” Vandalieu ordered
Rapiéçage groaned as she released Zadiris’s brown-gray finger fro between it and her blue tongue The color of Rapiéçage’s lips and tongue had changed for some reason after Vandalieu had turned her into a Zombie He had properly stopped her decomposition with Preservation, however
Zadiris let out a disgruntled noise “She even went and licked my claws It is not my fault if she is paralyzed”
“She is an Undead, after all,” said Vandalieu
“I am aware of that Her stitches are clearly visible”
Tarea let out a sigh of relief “I alht before Van-sama’s eyes”
“We uards or show any weaknesses,” said Eleanora
Both Tarea and Eleanora hastily wiped their mouths Zoht but a sharp sense of smell to make up for it, but this wasn’t the case for Zombies in Lambda
In Rapiéçage’s case, since her head was that of a human, her senses were almost identical to those of a huained as an Undead Wiping the e fro it
Taking that into account, the Zombies in Earth’s fiction could actually be considered to have quite high specs
“Now then, about the Mirg shi+eld-nation’s aran
“It’s obvious that we’re going to slaughter them all, isn’t it?” Borkus interrupted “More importantly, isn’t there any more mayonnaise?”
“It was an experimental product, so there’s no more,” Vandalieu told him
“What?! Then let’s make some more!”
“Vandalieu, how do you aro demanded
“Wait, I aredients,” said Zadiris “Boy, what do you need for it?”
“… I’ll make it, so just listen to what I have to say,” said Vandalieu
It seemed that the Lambda-made mayonnaise was a success
After that, excluding Rapiéçage and Knochen, everyone including Vandalieu exchanged infor shi+eld-nation whilemayonnaise
This would later co of Talosheim
While Vandalieu was creatingto the Mirg shi+eld-nation were destroyed, and adventurers and Va from the contents of their conversation:
·The Vampires orshi+p Hihiryushukaka, the Evil God of Joyful Life, were utilizing the E shi+eld-nation in order to repeat the Talosheio
·They had used Magic Items to determine Eleanora’s location and concluded that Vandalieu was in Talosheim
·However, it seemed that they currently had no plans to conduct reconnaissance in Talosheim Vandalieu and the Ghouls had previously escaped fro, so they ary that the saain They were also wary of the risk that that if casualties were suffered during reconnaissance, Vandalieu would gain information from their spirits
Eleanora lookedmy blood on nuic Items existed…”
“Well, don’t worry about it,” said Vandalieu “It’s convenient because they’re coht here So now the four uarding the tunnel’s exit The other two Vampires have returned to their co shi+eld-nation has been contacted through Magic Items”
As to be expected of a community of Vampires with Pure-breeds who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years standing at the top It seeic Itee about With that said, those Magic Ite of thes of the Evil God of Joyful Life and Birkyne’s personality
Did they find Valen’s… Father’s location with this ite that aside…
“So when do you think they will arrive?” asked Zadiris
“It seems they haven’t come to a concrete decision yet”
Judging frohts would coh the tunnel to confirm its safety and protect the exit The adventurers would then return At the same time, a war council led by the Amid Empire would take place to discuss the tunnel’s discovery and the upco invasion
In that war council, things like budgets, the nuhts that needed to be mobilized and where they were to be mobilized from would be decided
There were plans to dispatch priests of the Church of Alda to scatter holy water around the tunnel, under the pretense of ‘re ancient, evil spirits’ In reality, this was likely a ainst Vandalieu as assumed to be a Spiritualist
And then the Arand announceant ceremonies and festivals to increase the citizens’ morale
And then a party would be held in the Amid Empire in anticipation of General Mauvid’s victory in this expedition The Order of Prodigal Knights would depart the Euise themselves as hts would be gathered fro shi+eld-nation, more ceremonies would be performed, and…
“Considering the above processes, I think that they’ll be here around winter no s,” said Vandalieu
“… Would it kill humans to hurry it up? They don’t even live for a hundred years, so how coaro wondered
“Indeed, they should coreement
For Ghouls like Vigaro and Zadiris, the cere indiscriminately would likely seem pointless
Though Vandalieuparties, the ceremonies did indeed seem like a waste of tihts and soldiers ht decrease
“Humans like those kinds of ceremonies,” said Tarea
“It’s easier to think of them as creatures with those in their nature and way of life,” Eleanora added
Both of them were former humans, after all
“A long tireat they are,” said Darcia
Well, that was hoas Vandalieu was ai to become a noble to do those kinds of things would be a problem
“Then I’,” said Borkus “It doesn’t snow around here, even in winter, but it’ll get cold”
Just as he said, winter was harsh in Taloshei no snow, it was ridiculously cold
The snoould stop on the mountains to both the east and west, but the cold would coht over the mountains and blon on the city
It would be harsh on an ar pace, it would take five days to reach Talosheih there would be no snow, the roads weren’t maintained and even with the records of Talosheio, it would al the Devil’s Nests that had spread across everywhere
Considering the terrain that the ar winter, they would be greatly weakened before even reaching Talosheim
“Well, I’uys won’t be very familiar with the climate in this area,” Borkus added
“But I think they’ll be cautious because they’re unfamiliar with it,” said Vandalieu “I’m sure Vampires don’t care about the cold of winter, but they’re planning to make use of a human ar the winter”
“Indeed, if they were going to push in during the winter, the Va forces with the humans,” Eleanora added
Everyone present was discussing things with serious expressions However, they all had a hand-mixer-Golem in one hand and a container of oil in the other They were adding oil to a bowl andthe contents to create mayonnaise
It was a very surreal sight
“So they’ll co after all,” Vandalieu concluded “Ah, Borkus, you’re adding the oil too fast”
They surely wouldn’t drag things on all the way up until su
“Hmm, this is quite troublesome,” Borkus remarked
“Making delicious things is a troubleso these things”
“We’rethem e can’t even eat them yet, so please don’t complain,” said Saria
“So what are we going to do about the adventurers and Va the tunnel? Should we dispose of thearo
“Though that is an attractive option, we’ll leave them be,” replied Vandalieu
There were nu to be gained by doing so Even if a few adventurers and Vaain no information and there would be no point
The eneather an expedition arine that Riley or the Vae The sa forces It was also iine that those ould be stationed as lookouts would be in important positions
It would be quite troublesome to travel to the tunnel entrance where Riley and the others were in the first place There were no roads or anything of the sort, and they would have to traverse et there as well
Borkus and the others had gone there once last year and defeated quite a lot ofthe way, but since a year had passed, other monsters would have replaced the the tunnel while fighting thoseback would be quite a lot of effort There was also a high chance of failure
And even if they succeeded, it ht only make the enemy warier
“When you say that it’s an attractive option, did you mean there was someone notable there?” asked Darcia
“An adventurer called the Green Wind Spear Riley,” replied Vandalieu “I’ve heard his voice before”
