The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 69 (2/2)

The truth was that the Ghouls and Undead titans had only known because Vandalieu used “俺/ore” as a pronoun for hihters referred to hiht that he was a boy fro

TLN: 俺/ore is a pronoun pretty much exclusively used bymaster” that also only refers to males

In a siender by the fact that his pronoun for hi, his unfes rather than the appearance of his face

Well, I’rowth period Once ain so to be able to make that mistake, Vandalieu told himself to recover from the shock

If one were to ask what Vandalieu was doing right now, the ansas that he was currently offering topics of conversation

“Huh, so this child is a Dha one”

“Ohproperly?”

“I touched the Dhampir!”

“Heheh, I’uy”

“Hey! You guys are being rude!”

He was being treated just like some kind of rare anie that offered the inhabitants feays of entertaining themselves, the “Dha of a spectacle to behold Because of this, the villagers ca area, one after another

It was far better than being treated as a ghost Vandalieu himself didn’t ers talked to hiers didn’t hold back

“I see, so you’ve had soh times as well, haven’t you?”

“It’s going to be hard, but you’ve got to do your best”

The villagers generally treated Vandalieu favorably Vandalieu figured that they could syees, they had suffered themselves, and they had the freedom to feel sye But there were two other reasons

The first was that the villagers had seen Vandalieu’s expressionless, dead eyes and assuh incredibly hard times

The other was that Vandalieu was someone they could sympathize with at no cost to themselves

If Vandalieu were a ers had for his they could do for hi and were still capable of doing plenty of work in the future, but even so, they weren’t prospering

For now, they were still exe taxes, but in two ers wouldn’t be able to take him in and raise him

But Vandalieu was so to be an adventurer, and if even half of the stories of Kasim and his companions were to be believed, he already possessed at least enough strength to exter with hi him to a meal was plenty

Still, this was far better treatet in a city

“I’uy came from behind and cut off the Goblin Barbarian’s head in one hit!” Fester exclaimed

“H you,” said Lina, “but it’s just a little too unbelievable…”

“No, you’re doubting ht! Believe me, Lina!”

“Fester, ith our own eyes and still can’t believe it, so isn’t it too much to ask for Lina to believe it?” Zeno pointed out

They were talking behind Vandalieu, but considering that he could slay Rank 3worth convincing anyone of, so he stayed silent

In fact, he had rendered a Rank 4 Goblin King completely helpless without any difficulty, only yesterday Killing a Goblin Barbarian wasn’t a significant achievement compared to that

Also, Vandalieu couldn’t register at the branch that Lina ed on her own

Apparently, the only thing that could be done here was the exchange of exterister, Vandalieu would have to go to a proper Guild branch in the city

Despite Borkus and the others having told hiistration had been possible even at branches in ses

It seeh a decline in the past two hundred years; the Adventurers’ Guild in the Orbauh a decline as well

“This child is the Dhampir child who saved Kasim and his friends?”

Twothis question

These tere the rare elderlypeople; it looked like several years had passed since they were in the pri si behind him was dressed in cotton clothes that had been properly colored using dyes, and there was a necklace with an orna from his neck

“Chief, Priest-sama, has your discussion finished?” asked the storekeeper of the jack-of-all-trades store

“Yes, it is done,” the village chief replied “More importantly, we must thank this child,” he said as he took Vandalieu’s hand and bowed “Thank you veryKasi to be an adventurer, I ae to attract the Goblins’ attention”

It seeers was, “Vandalieu attracted the attention of the strong Goblin while Kasim’s party made a counterattack to exterminate the Goblins”

Vandalieu was sers who didn’t know much about Dhampirs, this was probably far easier to believe than the truth of, “Vandalieu cut the head of the Goblin co the small unit from behind”

“I alad to have been of help,” replied Vandalieu, not particularly interested in correcting him

“But you s,” the chief told him “Adventurers must survive”

Now that I think back, I think the people here are nicer than anyone on Earth

Vandalieu felt a littlethat humans aren’t that bad However, there was the “Priest-sae chief, so he couldn’t let his guard down

“To think that I happened to be staying in this village to preach and uidance” The priest-saentle tone as he touched the cross-like holy symbol of Alda on his chest and offered a short prayer of thanks

Vandalieu’s gender had been ht now

“Priest-sama, this child is a –”

“Hahaha, Chief-san, there is nothing to worry about Alda only punishes the wicked Those who perform just deeds will not be unjustly punished, even if they are Dhampirs I heard that you lived in a secluded forest or mountain You have not yet been baptized, have you? Would you like me to carry out the ceremony?” the priest offered

He wasn’t releasing any intent to kill orVandalieu feel unpleasant, but the smile on his face looked shallow in Vandalieu’s eyes The constantly-active Danger Sense: Death gave no reaction, either

“No thank you Though it was an informal ceremony, my mother baptized me in Vida’s name,” Vandalieu replied Even if it wasn’t a trap, he didn’t want to be baptized in Alda’s name, so he told yet another lie

“I see What a good mother she was”

With nothingthe baptism in Vida’s name, the priest of Alda stepped back

The Orbaudom was a collection of smaller countries that had united in order to protect themselves from the threat of the Amid Empire

With this being its origin, the religion of Alda, the God of law and fate, the priion of Vida was allowed, but there were no restrictions placed on the religion of Alda, either This is because there was a considerable number of people in the smaller nations who believed in Alda and his subordinate Gods

But this religion couldn’t be said to be exactly the sas of Alda in the Empire

There were s in different ways A them was the harmonious faction who believed that “Virtuous individuals who uphold the law should be forgiven, even if they are members of Vida’s races” This would be considered heresy by the clergymen of the Amid Empire, but it was this faction who had allowed Dhadom

This wasn’t particularly strange or unnatural Everyone in Lambda knew for certain that Gods existed, but those Gods had only existed in the world itself a hundred thousand years ago, during the age of the Gods

Now, through Divine Messages and such, they could only convey their ith limited methods to a limited number of people

Because of this, each God’s religion was interpreted in various ways depending on the nation, region and person, and these interpretations often had strange differences between them The most prime example was the harmonious faction of Alda

But then, the reason the harmonious faction spread is because there were more me dukes ere Beast-ion in the Orbau the war, so this was probably a political decision made in order to survive

Even on Earth, it wasn’t unusual for there to befro, but there’s no way that he would descend to the world, send Divine Messages or dispatch Familiar Spirits to all of his believers and point out which of their interpretations are wrong Well, as long as it doesn’t cause me harm, I don’t really care

He didn’t really like the condescending way he had been “forgiven,” but Vandalieu accepted that he couldn’t afford to care about things like that if he wanted to survive in society

“Priest-saave me… It seems to be rather ineffective”

“That e doses, so please take it in double the dose that you have been doing up until now”

“Priest-sama, could you please have a look at our fields?”

“I do not mind Alda is also the God of life, after all”

One by one, the villagers approached the priest with their troubles and requests It see how shallow his smile was

The stories of saints and heroes told by clergymen were probably one of the few sources of entertain that he was an educated man who could even mix medicine, it made sense that he was adored, even if he was a little suspicious

Suddenly, there a voice came from outside

“Priest-sama, please come! Ivan has fallen from a roof!”

It appeared that a villager had accidentally fallen fro from the tone of the voice, it seemed to be quite a serious injury In fact, when Vandalieu used Detect Life, there was one person with an unnaturally weak reaction

“That is not good, we must tend to hi up

Vandalieu quietly left the jack-of-all-trades store Perhaps because their attention had been drawn to the priest, nobody noticed him leave

If he’s not dead, I think I can do so about it… Ah, it’s here

Using Flight to rush to the place where the spell’s reaction had coround and a woer than the man There was also a child, smaller than Vandalieu

“Honey! Hold on, the priest is co now!”

“Daddy!” Daddy!”

Though his wife and son were clinging onto hi looked labored There was a thick shadow of death on his face

This is a serious injury; it’s not his bones, it’s his organs… in the worst-case scenario, soht have even happened to his brain

In such a situation, with Laht be able to do soe Vandalieu judged that he would likely die before the priest arrived… though that priest would likely be able to do anything other than shake his head unless he was a first-rate practitioner

Of course, if Vandalieu used death-attribute h chance that he could save the life of this man named Ivan The ouldn’t have to lose her husband, nor would the child in her abdomen and the child by the man’s side have to lose their father

However, Vandalieu’s current objective was to “register at the Guild without attracting any attention, and then dash back to Talosheim”

A child saving a life that could not be saved without high-level ic That would attract plenty of attention

To follow ive into ive up

“Excuse me”

With these words, a child quickly approached Ivan’s side and touched his body

“Hieh?!”

“Uwah! Who are you?!”

The woman and child who hadn’t noticed Vandalieu’s presence were surprised, so Vandalieu said, “I’e; my name is Vandalieu,” to introduce himself as he cast Spirit Form Transformation In a way that they couldn’t see, he produced tentacles fro with Ivan and extending his spirit form into his body

It was indeed the brain that was the proble, and the blood that was pooling inside his head was creating pressure on his brain

Absorb the accuenerate the broken blood vessels with Healing Power Enhancement After that, repair the cracks in his skull… This person has an aneurysm in the blood vessel near his heart I suppose I’ll fix that while I’e intestine It seeht as well cure that as well

“Hey, what are you…”

“Mo better!”

“Y-you’re right Could it be that you’re healing him?”

“Ah, yes Please wait a little longer,” said Vandalieu

The e of a si a healthy one wasn’t true, at least in his case

Vandalieu had done all of the medical treatment he could, so he returned the tentacles back to his body and undid his Spirit Form Transformation

“Things will be alright now He’ll likely open his eyes soon,” said Vandalieu

Vandalieu had even fused his own stamina and nourishment with Ivan’s and expended it in order to heal him, so there was no way that he would stay unconscious Vandalieu had taken up the blood that had accumulated in Ivan’s skull, but he would consider that as the treatment fee

“Ugh, what… happened to me?” Ivan opened his eyes in the next moment

“Honey!”

“Daddy!”

The woht This hat a household, a family, should be like

“What is theof this? Why are you here?” Ivan asked his family

“I-Ivan?” said a round, looking like you were going to die! How are you looking so lively now?!”

Just as Vandalieu began feeling respect for Ivan for having built such a good household, the priest, village chief and the others had finally arrived

Now if they could be fooled into thinking that Ivan’s condition had actually been nothing serious and that theconclusion, everything other than Vandalieu being present could be resolved

“This child, this child called Vandalieu, healed him! This child saved his life!” Ivan's wife exclaimed

Madam, honest women are well-liked

“Now that you rabbedmy head instead I see, so that must have been this child,” Ivan concluded

Who are you calling a Goddess?

And so, Vandalieu saved the life of a villager he had nevera lot of attention to himself
