The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 76 (1/2)

After being betrayed by her stepfather and sold to a slave trader, Marie was stricken by despair

Marie’s real father had died while she was young and herthat he couldn’t raise a daughter that he wasn’t related to, he ignored Marie’s mother’s final wish and sold Marie

Betrayed by soave up hope in living

A girl in her early teenage years like her wouldn’t be purchased by a brothel unless she had been blessed with exceptional looks It was coht at cheap prices and worked to death perfor harsh manual labor in a mine

nobody could bla into despair

“Fufu, what a beautiful bride Please tell me your name…”

That hy she actually felt relieved to learn that she had been given to a Va that it would all be over soon

Even if by soood buyer and set free one day, she no longer had a family that cared about her

Living out her re but pain

“So, you are unable to speak… Itwith these fangs and this tongue”

As the Vas were revealed, his well-featured face twisted into a beast-like expression

As those fangs closed in on Marie’s neck –

The hich contained glass unlike most other s in the city of Niarki other than the s of the lord’s house, shattered and glass scattered across the floor

“What?! Guah!”

Black shadows flashed past his back and his sides, each of the a spray of blood to erupt from his body

Marie si in front of her was a Vampire, an embodiment of evil that was supposed to be defeated by cha into pieces in a one-sided fashi+on

“damn you, you coward!” the Vampire cursed “Wounds like this will soon…!”

“They won’t heal,” said a voice “These are kunai that apply the Holy Son’s Healing Negation”

“There’s also deadly poison on them that works on Vampires,” said another

“W-what?! That can’t be… Gobuh!”

With blood spraying from his

The Varant Marie an end to her life had perished

His corpse had even been carried away by a masked titan

Vaguely wondering ould happen to her now, Marie was overwhellass

“Wait”

Before Marie could bring the piece of glass to her throat, the srabbed her arm

“Why are you stoppingyou, please let me die!”

“No!” said the assassin “It would be problematic if you were to die!”

“Why?” she asked “You can find people who can replace me if you look just about anywhere!”

“There’s nobody who could replace you!” said the assassin, with a forceful tone to his voice

“– Eh?” Marie instinctively let the strength flow out of her arm

Braga used this opportunity to seize the piece of glass and throw it aside

And then he began to treat Marie’s hand that had been cut by the glass

“Everyone cares about you,” he told her “Don’t go and die so easily”

Braga and the others had been asked by Vandalieu, their king, to protect as many of the Vampires’ victims and captives as possible

That hy they had been careful to protect victims like Marie and keep them safe

Braga wasn’t lying

But in this moment, for the brokenhearted Marie, he was like a prince on a white horse

“So that’s how it is, King This is a announced

“Please give your blessings for our e”

You really never knohere you’re going to ht as he looked at the proud-looking Braga and the girl standing next to him, who looked to be around twelve or thirteen years old

“I don’t really a is a Black Goblin Are you alright with that?” Vandalieu asked

Black Goblins were far ular Goblins, and they had good personalities like Braga’s Though Vandalieu could understand being friends, he had to wonder, wasn’t there still a barrier that would make most normal people hesitate to choose a Black Goblin as their spouse?

“Of course,” Marie replied, despite Vandalieu’s doubts “The only one who cared about me is a and the others savedkilled by that Vampire!”

“I-I see,” said Vandalieu “You won’t be able to come back to this country for at least ten more years Do you still feel that way?”

“I don’t mind!”

“Then I don’t have anything to do other than give you ratulations’”

If Marie herself was satisfied, then it was probably fine In fact, Braga, the vice-captain of the ninja unit, was the most successful of the Black Goblins and a fine individual There was nothing to object to

And Marie would probably be able to live a more luxurious lifestyle if she came to Talosheim

“Ah, Holy Son, about the prostitutes that the scoundrels held captive and the woan For some reason, his words were rather inarticulate

As Vandalieu turned to look at hi troubled

“What is it?” Vandalieu asked “I’ to use the Mental Encroachive them some money and then release them”

He only planned to use the Fangs of Dark Nights that he had taken over for a few e to pull out right away, so he was planning to dispose of the wicked fe to be prostitutes and silence the rest before releasing them

“About that,” said Zran “After seeing Marie-jouchan, they seem to have misunderstood and are under the impression that they won’t be killed if they suck up to us… They’re having a e interview over there with the Black Goblins”

“… Wow”

“And none of thes have turned out quite interesting”

“… Women are sturdy, aren’t they”

“So, Vandalieu-sama, e do with those women?” Eleanora asked

Indeed, what should Vandalieu do with them?

“First of all, let’s conduct interviews and physical examinations,” he said

“Honey, you have to tell him about me as well,” said a woman

“Ah, that’s right King, I have a lover, too,” said another Black Goblin

“… Congratulations,” said Vandalieu

Around the same time, those who had conspired to destroy the cultivation project led by the next lord of the Hartner Duchy, the second son Belton, had gathered to report the situation

“So, youbecause of this Dhampir boy?”

“Precisely, Karcan-dono!”

Karcan, a knight of the Hartner family’s eldest son, Lucas, seeuising himself as a priest of Alda “That is what you say, but… No, I do not mean to say that I distrust you people But still, it is a little…”

nobody could blaoatee with a suspicious look in his eyes The contents of the report of Froto and his companions were simply too bizarre

A Dhah the sky towards the Fifth Cultivation Village to save all of the villagers from the poison that had been distributed there

In addition to appearing fro the village, he created a well in the blink of an eye, providing an abundant source of water to the village that had been suffering froe

Karcan hihts under his command to deliver poisoned fertilizer to the Second Cultivation Village; it was supposed to beco But apparently the Dhaers how to use Goblins as eency rations

And Froto claimed that there was no doubt that the Dhampir was involved in the fact that the bandits dispatched by the spies in the city had gone

Karcan’s le Dhampir boy

It wasn’t unreasonable for Karcan to think that all of this was ‘suspicious’

“At the very least, Karcan-dono, I saw the incident with the Orcsdefeated by the Dhampir in an instant!” said the man who had tamed the Orcs

He was a Beast Mage – a Job that allowed the creation of ic in order to control them

Considering his words in addition to Froto’s, it was difficult to believe that these reports were lies

“And to counteract the poison that I distributed… That poison takes tined to look like a disease, but it cannot be counteracted by normal anti-poison spells or antidote Potions That Dha uise hi merchant

The men’s words were too unnatural to assu in their work Thus, Karcan decided to take their reports as truth

He was in charge of an entire order of knights He had seen with his own eyes that there were e and appearance if they served as knights for long enough

“That child was a Dhampir, was he? As difficult as it is to believe, if he is indeed a Dhampir, it is a feasible story,” said Karcan “But in other words, it sie with the strength of a D-class adventurer in those villages,” he concluded

The fact that the Dhampir had defeated three Orcs was impressive, but he had essentially defeated one with a surprise attack and used his momentum to defeat the other two This would likely be possible for anyone with the strength of a D-class adventurer

“Most ie as a base for activity like the refugee adventurers You said that he was si by towards the city to become an adventurer, didn’t you? In other words, it sis done while that child is not in the villages,” said Karcan

“Will that really be alright?” Froto asked

Karcan laughed “You worry tooup guards to watch over the villages,” he said

“I suppose you are right”

In reality, Vandalieu had stationed his Familiars, Lemures, as well as dozens of Stone Golee

“If that Dha to become an adventurer, he should be forced to attend the adventurers’ school for at least a year,” said Karcan “During that time, ill pretend to be bandits and destroy the cultivation villages… I will lead the men myself”

The men stirred at Karcan’s announcement that he and his men would act as bandits

“Is that really alright? If it were to be discovered, even if our victied or turned into slaves!”
