The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 78 (2/2)
But how could Kanata behave like this despite this fact? How could he carry out such senseless violence without feeling any guilt or fear of being punished?
The answer to these was that Kanata had essentially been ‘transferred’ here, and he couldn’t even perceive any value in this third life of his
Vandalieu had previously thought that A with him wouldn’t be able to lay a hand on him without trouble because when they reincarnated in La birth to them They would have family and friends in Lambda, a society that they relied on They would have to live in La reckless, they would si a noose around their own necks, and they would even cause trouble for their family, friends and lovers in Lambda
But someone transferred here directly from another world wouldn’t have any bonds to the world of Lambda To take extreer and kill innocent people, rob others because he doesn’t havethe as he ensured his own escape, since he would have no concerns for anyone other than himself
Even if he was caught and punished, he wouldn’t cause any trouble… there wasn’t a single person that he wanted to avoid causing trouble for in this foreign world, so nobody would be troubled
Kanata was technically someone who had been reincarnated and reborn, but he had coe as the one he had in his previous life There was essentially no difference between him and someone who had been transferred here directly
Thus, he didn’t have the co and doing things over from childhood would learn Such a person would – for better or worse – understand that the inhabitants of this world were humans, just like them, but Kanata hadn’t learned that Nor did he have any intention to
Most i more than a connection to his fourth life He was also treating the people of this world with utter conte in a world inferior to Earth and Origin
No, he s Statuses, skills, Elves, Beast-people, Dwarves – to hiame; he couldn’t think of this world as reality
“He’s not going to fly off to somewhere else if I head for the capital now, is he? It would be a real pain to have to figure out a way to cross the e,” Kanata murmured to himself
The inforiven hih Kanata knew that Vandalieu’s stronghold was beyond the e, he had no idea how Vandalieu had crossed the hold itself
“Well, if I have this ‘destiny’ or whatever, I’m sure I’ll be able to kill hie and these corpses”
The marketplace of Nineland, the capital city of the Hartner Duchy, was full of liveliness under the hot summer sun
As the duchy was located inland, most marine products were dried, salted or pickled; there were only a few fresh products froic Items to preserve them as they were transported But other than that, there was an abundant assortment of products available for purchase
“That spice, I’ve never seen it before,” said Eleanora
“Yes, it’s a special product of this country! It’s not sold in other duchies!” the shopkeeper told her, ogling at her without any subtlety
“Well then, may I have some?” Eleanora asked with a smile
“Yes! Thank you,” said the shopkeeper “But wouldn’t you prefer to have the powdered stuff?”
“It’s fine; please give me the fruit,” Eleanora requested
“You’re quite the connoisseur for a first-time buyer Here you are”
After receiving a bag of the spice, Eleanora headed towards another store
“Hey, the pretty lady over there,” an accessory merchant called out to her “Won’t you come and take a look?”
Eleanora paid no attention to him The task that Vandalieu had entrusted her as the collection of spices, vegetables and fruit
“Fufufu, your prided special products will lose their exclusiveness to Vandalieu-sah
With death-attribute ic, it was possible to prevent plants that were difficult to cultivate frorow alpine plants in deserts Despite this, in Origin, even if the plants grew, it was difficult to make them produce flowers and fruit in such harsh conditions
But organisin It was certain that if these plants were planted in Talosheim, they would turn into Monster Plants or Immortal Ents and produce fruit
As soon as the bag in Eleanora’s arms was handed over to Vandalieu and taken to Talosheith!
… Although, that would only bewith other duchies
Eleanora herself didn’t actually really understand just howher actions would cause the Hartner Duchy
“It sounds a little empty to say aloud,” Eleanora murmured “Vandalieu-sama did say that he would cause a ‘cala a proper calamity”
Eleanora and everyone else, who had traveled a distance that would take a ht with Vandalieu’s spirit-for of the assault of the o
“Now then, next is… That fruit, I’ve never seen it before”
“Are you a traveler, Ojou-san? This fruit is a special product of this duchy; it can’t be cultivated anywhere else It’s the pride of my birthplace!”
“I see Then I suppose I’ll take some”
“In the end, I do have to reject the society of this duchy”
“Is… that… so…”
“That’s right”
“Is… that… so…”
Though he was facing the Guild Master of the Mages’ Guild, itching with the whites of his eyes showing, Vandalieu was having a conversation that was very close to a ue
As for why the Guild Master of the Mages’ Guild had entered a vegetative state, the reason was that he was an individual with connections to the Pure-breed Vampires
Vandalieu, who had learned this information from the Vampire he had turned into an Undead in the city of Niarki, had attacked the Guild Master on theof his arrival in Nineland
He had asked the Guild Master’s whereabouts from the countless spirits that approached him the moment he arrived in Nineland, and assaulted his mansion
He had covered the entire building in a Magic Absorption Barrier that ran along its walls before defeating the Guild Master The Guild Master would probably have been a powerful foe if allowed to usedistance with his spirit for Mana to create the barrier, though
Braga, Zran and Eleanora had used physical attacks to defeat the uards
After that, Vandalieu had thought hard about how to interrogate the stubborn Guild Master who possessed Poison Resistance, and decided to try using the Mental Encroachment skill
With that said, all he had done was make additional heads and stare directly into Guild Master’s eyes while whispering into both of his ears For a mere hour
As a result, the Guild Master had entered a vegetative state Vandalieu had wondered whether it was alright to si information from him
“Well, he did do a lot of bad things in order to learn forbidden knowledge from Ternecia, so I don’t feel sorry for him at all,” said Vandalieu
“I… am… sorry”
“Hmm, the Mental Encroachment skill is powerful but hard to hold back with I have to practice properly with it,” said Vandalieu
Strictly speaking, the effects produced by the skill were more due to the fact that Vandalieu hi his enemies rather than due to the special characteristics of the skill itself, however
“I suppose it’s fine since I got h,” he decided
Vandalieu had used Spirit Form Transformation on his entire body, used ‘Possession’ on the broken Guild Master and es’ Guild’s forbidden domain
Possession was a death-attribute spell that he had recently invented; rather than ‘taking over’ so their body Normally, it wouldn’t allow Vandalieu to steal control from the body’s owner However, he had been able to manipulate the body of the Guild Master whose will had collapsed
Thanks to this, he had gained forbidden knowledge at a bargain sale price
“Well, it doesn’t seee that will be ih,” Vandalieu said to himself
“Ah, I’ve found a way to create Homunculi,” reported one of Vandalieu’s clones “But it see a contract with an evil God is a requirement”
“A spell that controls the minds of others… Its procedure is troubleso I have the Mental Encroachment skill,” said another
“This poison is… inferior to the poison I can already create, isn’t it? Its Mana cost is needlessly high, too”
Just because it was forbidden knowledge didn’t mean that all of it was useful Much of the infors that Vandalieu was already capable of or inferior versions of things he could already do
Well, it probably couldn’t be helped considering that death-attribute ic had many spells that would themselves be considered forbidden techniques
“But to think that spells artificially creating mutant variations of monsters would be considered forbidden… Wouldn’t I be arrested if people found out about the things I’ve done in Talosheim?” Vandalieu wondered
“No, I suppose it’d be fine as long as I’es’ Guild Well, it just means that I can’t join them,” one of his clones added
“To have to consider how narrow each Guild’s doors are… How sad”
Of course, the Adventurers’ Guild here was the same as it was in the city of Niarki
Ades’ Guild required the approval of an instructor or a letter of recoreater, as well as from a nobleman Alternatively, it required one to possess qualifications certifying graduation froes’ school
The Workers’ Guild required applicants to perform manual labor under an instructor or supervisor
The Commerce Guild required applicants to be prepared to conduct business and to pay an admission fee
The Tamers’ Guild required applicants to study under other members, have a recommendation or otherwise prove that they could indeed tame monsters to a Guild staff member
Though their names differed a little, all of the Guilds required the saistration
A these, the one that Vandalieu could probably apply for was the Tamers’ Guild, but if he were to show off the fact that he had tamed monsters like Eleanora, a noble-born Vampire, he would be noticed by the Pure-breed Vampires’ subordinates ere still in Nineland If he were to show off his Zoa and the other Black Goblins, he would cause an uproar
There was also the option of si a Goleht simply be called an Alchemist
“Registering at an Adventurers’ Guild elsewhere after things have settled down is the most realistic option after all,” Vandalieu concluded “I’ll think about registering for the Tamers’ Guild and Commerce Guild after that”
“Well then, let’s withdraw for now,” said another of Vandalieu’s clones
Vandalieu, who had cloned hiathered all of the forbidden toan preparing to leave with them in hand
He had already used the allies of the Pure-breed Vaes’ Guild, as practice duetables
Still using Possession on the Guild Master, he had su theht the Guild Master’sconfidential, undid the Possession over the Guild Master and extended his narrow tongue into the es’ ears to administer poison and capture them
After that, he had used Mental Encroachetative states
“I always ih,” said Vandalieu
Ordering them to carry forbidden tomes and cursed items outside of the forbidden archives hadn’t been difficult They were all important individuals, after all
“I’ve finally learned the whereabouts of the underground ceht,” Vandalieu decided
