The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 88 (2/2)

Vandalieu had only been a high school student back then; although his conduct hadn’t been bad, it hadn’t been particularly good, either He had seen quite a few things in places such as the lost-and-found center

That hy he planned to arter belts and stockings in particular As for swiin work on those once he found a fiber that wouldn’t turn transparent et

Also, as so to achieve physical beauty equivalent to that of a Hollywood action star, he needed to find the right time to make men’s boxer underwear as well

“It’s really pretty, isn’t it? I’ with other nations in the future, I think everyone will buy them,” said Darcia

“Yes, I think they are very wonderful,” said Princess Levia “But it wasn’t that… I ondering what that is…” Her gaze was directed at thecarried out of the resurrection device

It was an ars and no head There were throbbing blood vessels running along its red exterior surface,was alive

“Ah, don’t pay that too an

“That’s my seventh failed recreation of Mom,” said Vandalieu

“NOOOOO! DON’T SAY IIIIT!” Darcia cried

“I’ that that’s your true form, so calm down,” Vandalieu told her

Vandalieu had thought of the idea of using Golem Transmutation to manipulate liquid Death Iron and Dark Copper to replace the resurrection device’s daed parts As a result, the resurrection device had started working again, but… when he tried to recreate Darcia’s body with it, the device produced only lumps of meat

He had gone through a lot of trial and error, but no matter what he did, the device only created lumps of meat that bore no resemblance to Darcia

“As you can see, there is only ans, I would add an Orichalcu unnatural, temporary repairs to a resurrection device that was incoh to recreate Mom,” Vandalieu concluded

He had used thehe could do to stop the device froend, the device was supposedly capable of creating bodies that were complete apart fro close to that

“But you know, it’s kind of… You say that, Vandalieu, but it’s like I’ told that this really is what I look like, so it’s hard,” said Darcia

“I’an

“It’s alright, it’s just so I’m sure that it’s because the device is incomplete,” said Darcia

“Well, it does function, so I’ to make it more and er, Mom”

I suppose it doesn’t ithout the dainally-used materials Unlike other materials, I still can’t make detailed shapes out of Orichalcum, so… Should I make a Homunculus after all?

The level of Vandalieu’s Goleh for him to be able to create precisely-shaped components from Orichalcum The work needed to repair the device wasn’t on the level of hand- to write letters on grains of rice It wasn’t simple to do

Perhaps it was better for Vandalieu to find an evil God, make a contract and create a Homunculus to use as Darcia’s body

He had gained the knowledge he required to do that at the Mages’ Guild in Nineland Things like sacrificing virgins would be a tall obstacle for Vandalieu, but perhaps he could discuss this requirement with the evil Gods

I wonder if you can negotiate with Gods? I probably wouldn’t be able to threaten them

In reality, he had already eaten an evil God, but as Vandalieu was unaware of this, he was under the i to him

“I’ll find the perfect evil God for the job,” said Vandalieu

“Levia-san, it seeion; what should I do in this situation?” Darcia asked

“U-umm, I-I think it will probably be fine!” said Levia

Vandalieu had only been trying to reassure Darcia, but it seemed to have only made her more anxious He hadn’t said that he would necessarily join the evil Gods, so as she so worried?

『You have acquired the Blacks and Enhanced Physical Ability: Hair skills!』

『The Clothing skill has been co skill and the Enhanced Physical Ability: Hair skill has been coue skill!』

『The levels of the Cooking, Enhanced Physical Ability: Hair, Claws, Fangs, Tongue and Thread-reeling skills have increased!』

Time passed, and it was now October

After finishi+ng creating his currency and treating Gopher and the other former slaves with Youth Transfore’s harvest festival

He treated the villagers ere in poor health, and in return, he was treated with not the thin porridge iven before, but a dish reseredients, which had beenwith southern rice

“You’re eating a lot; how many bowls is that?”

“This is my third”

Vandalieu had given the villagers three Horned Rabbits and a sack of walnuts as presents, so he wasn’t holding back

“Man, things were really crazy after you ca happened at the slave-run mine, you see The outer walls were destroyed, the mine turned into an empty area of land and all of the soldiers and slaves turned into skeletons”

“What did you say, is that true, I can’t believe it,” Vandalieu said with his usual expressionless voice and flat tone; he was the perpetrator – the main perpetrator at that – of this incident

Both his expressionlessness and flat tone were nothing out of the ordinary, so it seemed that the others hadn’t noticed

… The fact that Vandalieu’s expression didn’t change and reveal his true emotions unless he put conscious effort into it came in handy at times like this, too

“Yeah, the as apparently destroyed from outside, so it was probably monsters that appeared They didn’t find any footprints or tracks, though”

“So the soldiers and slaves killed by the monsters probably turned into Undead”

It seehts’ Order that had investigated the incident Vandalieu’s effort of using Golem Transmutation to make monster bones resemble titan skeletons had paid off

“Fortunately, it seems that the monsters that destroyed the outer wall h”

Those investigating seeht that monsters were the culprits since there were no traces of ar moved in the area, and since there were no monster tracks, the monsters had simply flown off somewhere else

I’m sure that there will be some who have made the connection between this event and the fact that the De’s seal was removed, but… I’m sure they won’t know

nobody would dream that Vandalieu simply happened to have removed the cha (his blood) during his quest to rescue the slaves at the mine

In fact, Heinz’s party and members of the Church of Alda were just as perplexed about the incident at the slave-runthe ti of the incidents, they probably weren’t unrelated, but they wondered, why had the second incident occurred there?

For the Hartner Duchy, it was quite an important location, as it was the duchy’s only source of eons However, it was doubtful as to whether it would be a likely place targeted by the one who had undone the Dement itself

It wasn’t as if there had been other sealed frag, nor were there other evil Gods involved As long as they didn’t realize that the one who had re’s seal was soees of Talosheie it all was

And it seemed that they hadn’t realized this fact yet

The fact that this cultivation village had gone unchecked was proof that those investigating the incident hadn’t come anywhere near the truth

Vandalieu’s fae, confirmed that no lookouts of spies had been stationed here

“Thanks to that, the adventurers and knights passed through the highway from Niarki, so Oyaji-san was all excited about it,” said Kasim “Now he’s downhearted about the fact that we don’t know if traveling h”

Kasis happening behind the scenes, were being carefree and enjoying the festival Seeing them was truly therapeutic for Vandalieu

“Things are hard on Lina though, since she has more work to do now”

“Coroup sent to exterminate the Skeletons in the mines?” Vandalieu asked

Actually, because of the Lemures, Vandalieu already knew that Kasim and his friends had been a part of the exterht that it would be unnatural if he didn’t

“Of course ere Just by participating, ere paid a reward that we can use for so other than food”

“Skeletons are Rank 2 They’re enemies that even we can defeat, and there were lots of people in the extermination force”

“And the e… and even so Goblins to roups of five and hunt them with handmade spears and bows, so there haven’t been any Goblins appearing near the village lately”

Vandalieu had been watching through the Lee were sturdy In fact, it was their sturdiness that had brought them this far

“But there was so different about those Skeletons,” said Kasiuys nor us, they were like…”

“It was like they were training with us No, both our weapons and theirs were real, so we did defeat them properly,” said Fester

“It was supposed to be a real battle, and even though it was a real battle, it kind of felt like training as well Also, I felt like there was so over us from somewhere as well,” Zeno added

How to fight ene weapons, enemies faster than them, enemies that outnumbered them, enemies that included both Archers and shi+eld-bearers? Kasim’s party felt that they had been tested on these subjects one after another

Of course, this had been the result of Vandalieu having given the Skeletons instructions, using the Lemures and Undead insects that he had left behind He had used a countless nuive orders to the Skeletons

“I’ve heard that Undead tend to repeat the actions that they performed when they were alive Perhaps those Skeletons were previously instructors for new adventurers?” Vandalieu suggested

“I see,” said Kasim He and his friends seemed satisfied with this explanation It seeaze that Zeno felt was also that of one of the Skeletons

The truth was that none of those Skeletons had been good people while they were alive, however

“Come to think of it, what happened to that priest-san?” Vandalieu asked “I haven’t seen him around”

The priest of Alda’s peaceful faction who had left the village, saying that he was heading for the city of Niarki… or rather, the siuised as a priest, Froto This e that was croith people for the harvest festival

“We have no idea, either It’s not just this Seventh Cultivation Village; it seees haven’t seen him, either,” said Kasim

“I asked the people in the extermination force, and they said they didn’t know of any priests like that How about you, Vandalieu? Didn’t you see him when you went to the city?” Fester asked

“Fester, it’s aard for me to approach the Church of Alda,” Vandalieu told him “Unfortunately, I didn’t see him there”

“I see… I hope nothing has happened to him”

The three young adventurers looked worried

Vandalieu nodded in agreeh,” he said

He still didn’t know that Froto had been a spy Even the Leot too close no matter how transparent they were, at most, they could only watch people’s movements from afar

The Fangs of Dark Nights in the city of Niarki had been eliar, one of the members of the Five-colored Blades, faster than Vandalieu had expected, leaving hiather further information

As a result, Vandalieu was under the iy a believer of Alda

“By the hat are you going to do now?”

“Starting froo around all of the cultivation villages and indulge myself in the harvest festivals,” said Vandalieu “After that, I was thinking of going to the city to get some essentials and visit some distant relatives of my mother”

“Distant relatives of your mother, do you mean –?!”

“No,my parents”

“Ah, is that right? No, I was sure that…”

If Eleanora had been present, thereVandalieu knew that this bothered her quite a lot, so he was glad that he had come alone

“Oi, thesoon,” said the oyaji fro Vandalieu over “The stone statue is going to be put in the shrine, so come over here!”

And so, that day’s conversation ended there

Incidentally, the quality of the statue of Vandalieu created by the for was made of stone, it had failed to portray the color of his hair, skin and odd-colored eyes, so it was possible that nobody would know that it was a statue of Vandalieu unless they were told

Skill explanation:

【Automatic Mana Recovery】,【Increased Mana Recovery Rate】

Those with the Automatic Mana Recovery skill recover Mana auto When they are resting, exercising or even in thethe incantation for a spell

The Increased Mana Recovery Rate skill is a skill that increases the rate at which Mana recovers while resting

Their names are similar, but they are separate skills

Autoe of the skill owner’s total Mana pool, while Increased Mana Recovery Rate reduces the aardless of the amount of Mana that needs to be recovered Thus, those with large Mana pools often desire the Automatic Mana Recovery skill

However, the Auto difficult to acquire, and even after acquiring it, it requires training by expending all available Mana to increase the total Mana pool In addition, the rate of natural Mana recovery is dependent on one’s health andis a way of drastically increasing it, so they tend to be fixated on the environment in which they sleep and the number of hours they sleep
