The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 139 (2/2)

In Lambda, it would depend on the society and what kind of position of that society he was in Societies of people… Huamous However, it wasn’t unusual for wealthy merchants and successful adventurers to have numerous mistresses and concubines

For members of royalty and nobility, this was essentially a duty Wedding th and the family’s stability

“The Mirg shi+eld-nation is quite obstinate regarding this, but Ani-ue… the oldest, Alzard-aniue, had three wives,” Kurt explained “It would normally have been suitable for him to have four like our father or even five, but the financial situation of the Legston family of earls is quite bad now, so… no, perhaps he will forcibly take more?”

It seeston fa shi+eld-nation to have four or five wives

“Why would there be a need to push himself to take more wives?” Vandalieu asked

Kurt gave a bitter smile as he answered “Because Chezare-aniue and I, ere supposed to support Alzard-aniue’s children as branch families, have ‘died’”

The fact that Chezare had been killed and Kurt’s death had been feigned were both events that had been caused by Vandalieu

Alzard, the current Duke Legston, had lost both of his uner brothers within a short period of time, so Kurt predicted that he would be driven by a need to produce more children

“… I have done so bad, haven’t I When I execute the plan to have hi as a present?” Vandalieu suggested

“The effects of any virility drug created by you would likely be terrifying, so don’t do that Alzard-aniue is no sexual prodigy, but his first-born son ill succeed him has already been born, and it would be problematic if he were to have too many children,” said Kurt with a pale face “And as for you, Your Majesty… isn’t it fine to have over ten partners?” He shrugged, thinking that it wasn’t anything to be troubled over “Though it depends on the size of the nation, it isn’t strange for the king of the nation to have that many I’ve heard that the previous emperor of the Ah I think that the current Emperor Marshukzarl has less than ten And the now-deceased Duke Sauron likely laid his hands on over a dozen if you include his maids Thanks to that, he had many orphans and caused a lot of trouble for them back then…”

Apparently, Duke Sauron, the father of Rayy

“I think our nation is different to the eh,” said Vandalieu

The populations of the Areater As for econoth, wouldn’t the referee’s hand be raised on the Aht, but it seeht otherwise

“It is indeed different, but… it cannot be codoo unnoticed by anyone if you evenhis cold-sweat-covered face from side to side

Fro nation that had been restored, and aristocratically speaking, Vandalieu was its first king and was in a position where he needed to leave behind es with branch fah to solidify the nation

But Vandalieu’s lifespan exceeded at least three thousand years, so he wouldn’t need to worry about a successor within Kurt’s lifeti as he wasn’t killed

To begin with, alarding aristocracy

To add to that, the citizens were believers of Vida and understood polygas that deeply and others didn’t possess the concept of e at all

And the nation’s econoood nobody kneould be in several thousand years froht that there wouldn’t be any economic slumps in the next few hundred years at the very least

He even said that we should learn by example from Zanalpadna and this Ghoul nation, and that he will create low-class Dungeons to use as eency shelters, farms and fisheries… Normally, a nation would need to cultivate uncultivated land or invade other nations to acquire land, but this king can simply increase the nation’s land within a matter of hours

Vandalieu, who could create new Dungeons with the Labyrinth Creation skill, would adopt the way that Dungeons were utilized on the inside of the Boundary Mountain Range That would eons would be the same as extra land

And Vandalieu could even roughly control the eons that he created He didn’t normally do this because he wanted to increase the levels of his skills, but for Dungeons being used as shelters and production, he would likely leave the still

Resources were certainly necessary to wed ain any resources he needed at any tiue response

“Is that right?” said Vandalieu in confusion, blinking several times

It seemed that he was unaware that he could create land from thin air

“Hey, oi,” said Borkus, poking Kurt’s shoulder

Not feeling like explaining these things endlessly, Kurt decided to ignore this “The i is what His Majesty wants to do, isn’t it? In other words, his own feelings What are those like?” he asked

“Well, I think that’s right as well, but…” Borkus muttered

“My feelings… I’m very happy to be liked by everyone,” Vandalieu said

If he were to express his e other than happy

There was no way that he wouldn’t feel happy abouthim And unlike on Earth, he was now in a position where it wouldn’t be a problem for him to date multiple people

So then, ould be inconvenient about accepting that?

Vandalieu, whose goal was the pursuit of his own happiness, was a very worldly-minded person

“Then there won’t be any problems,” said Kurt

“Hey kid, Kurt doesn’t see?” Borkus asked, see bewildered

“I think it’s because Zozogante is over there,” Vandalieu said in the direction of Borkus and Zozogante

He had been consulting Kurt partially for the purpose of diverting his attention away fro the Mental Encroachment skill to treat him

This was the deepest part of Zozogante’s Great Forest The treasure chamber, which could only be reached by those who defeated the Dungeon boss

Borkus, by clearing Zozogante’s Great Forest on his own to kill time, had cut down all of the ante, the evil God of the dark forest, guardian of the Ghouls who lived in the southern region of the continent within the Boundary Mountain Range, had descended before him

And then Zozogante had said to Borkus, “I’m sorry, but could you please ask your boss to come here?”

Having been requested this, Borkus had brought Vandalieu and Kurt, as Vandalieu’s lieutenant general

At first glance, Zozogante appeared to be a large, twisted tree, but if one looked closely, the fruit hanging fro branches were all eyeballs, and he had numerous mouths that looked like rips in the tree’s trunk This appearance had caused a huge shock to Kurt’s mind

That hat Vandalieu had been treating

When Fidirg, the Dragon God of Five sins, had descended in the deepest part of the Scaled King’s Nest, Vandalieu himself had been a little shaken but still fine, just like Basdia and everyone else except for Darcia, as a powerless spirit Thus, his perception of danger whena God had become fainter, but it seee effects on human minds

Apparently, even the chief of Zozogante’s Great Forest kept his head down and never looked up when ante

“He didn’t have to risk himself to try and prove that he was normal,” Borkus muttered

“Were you alright, Borkus?” Vandalieu asked

“Well, I was a little scared, but that’s all”

As for Borkus, he wasn’t affected too much because he was already an Undead, possessed the Mental Corruption skill and because as a Rank 11 monster, he hiend and myth

“Excuse ante, whose voice sounded like the creaking of a tree, in a reserved tone of speech

“Ah, yes Kurt, you mustn’t turn around,” said Vandalieu

“Oi, oi, Your Majesty, don’t treat me like a child… if I just squeeze my eyes shut, cover my ears and hunch over, I’ll be fine,” said Kurt

“Is that really fine?” Vandalieu asked, but there was no reply fro on his knees, eyes shut and ears covered

Thinking that it was best to have Kurt sleep for now, Vandalieu secreted a volatile sleeping drug and put Kurt to sleep

Once Kurt’s sleeping breaths could be heard, Zozogante began speaking

“Ah, first of all, I offer youthese Ghouls They are not only my important believers, but they are likethem trampled down by Ravovifard’s servants,” he said

“Not at all I a, after all, so please don’t worry about it,” said Vandalieu “But if you can make various accommodations for us in the future, it would be very helpful”

“Ah, yes Well then, you hters as your attendants –”

“I don’t want those accommodations”

“Does it not make you happy to be liked by ender?”

“Their feelings are the problem here”

With the reason for those feelings being because the God they believed in them told them, Vandalieu wouldn’t be particularly happy

“I’ll leave the blood-relationshi+p-deepening exchanges to Vigaro,” he said

“I see… Well then, perhaps in a few hundred years when you feel up for it,” said Zozogante, see been refused, but it seemed that he intended to patiently wait out the centuries “Well then, how about accommodations in the for else I can do in gratitude I can bestow it upon your Ghoul companions and that plant-type monster”

“Are you talking about Eisen? Yes, please,” said Vandalieu

The divine protections of Gods could increase Attribute Values, provide bonuses to the effects and acquisition of skills and even raise the lirowth They were equivalent to talent being given after birth

Thus, it was best to accept divine protections unless they were from a God with extremely incompatible qualities

Zozogante was apparently on equal standing with Fidirg… in other words, in a low position a Gods, but one would expect the divine protection to have an effect

“I arateful for your divine protection, but if you wanted to protect the Ghouls so badly, why did you do nothing until now?” Vandalieu asked “I don’t intend to blaeon that you created Could you not have done so more?”

“That’s right If you’d sent the Dungeon boss or the mid-boss at Budirud, even if they didn’t win the battle, couldn’t they have reduced the losses that the Ghouls suffered?” Borkus added

Zozogante hadn’t been sealed away like Fidirg Perhaps he ht not have been able to descend onto the world and take part in the fight himself, wouldn’t he at least have been able to send the eon as reinforcements for the Ghouls?

“I wanted to do that, but… My hands were occupied with ante said

The Gods in the southern region of the continent ere on Vida’s side had a painful circumstance to deal with

It was the maintenance of a barrier that prevented the intervention of Alda, the law of God and fate, the one who had wounded Vida and the Gods on her side including Zozogante in the war a hundred thousand years ago, as well as the intervention of Rodcorte, the God of reincarnation, anted to deny the existence of Vida’s races

Immediately after the wounded Vida had raised the land of the continent with the last of her power to create the Boundary Mountain Range, she ordered Zozogante and the other Gods ere still capable of action to surround the inside of the Boundary Mountain Range with a barrier

Because of this barrier’s presence, Alda could not dispatch his familiar spirits directly into the area enclosed by the Boundary Mountain Range, nor could he ‘call out’ to entice people to become his followers In order to have any influence here, he needed to have his believers physically enter the Boundary Mountain Range from the outside

This effect of the barrier applied to the entire area enclosed by the Boundary Mountain Range, including Talosheim

Rodcorte could not look at the records of the people living in Zanalpadna or the other cities that were protected by the Gods on Vida’s side He couldn’t directly interfere with the world, but it was possible that he would cooperate with Alda by sharing the inforained, so the barrier prevented this

But this effect of the barrier did not apply to Talosheim, which was supposed to be protected by the Sun Giant Talos, nor to the , the Dragon God of Five Sins, as both had become incapable of action

This hadn’t proved to be a proble in Talosheim and the marshlands respectively, and Vandalieu’s Guidance: Demon Path skill was there now

This barrier that even interfered with Rodcorte was powerful, but it was special and required a vast aante and the other weaker Gods were spending most of their power on it

And the Gods ante had been entrusted with the sealing of the Dements instead

On top of that, there were still many Gods whose wounds froo hadn’t healed

“That is why I a e of myself like this to liante “The Pure-breed Vampires are all also fully devoted to the maintenance of the barrier, or to the protection of Vida and the healing of her wounds Zanalpadna and Mububujenge were freer, but with Ravovifard… who knohere he got that inally a God with about as much power as myself”

Zanalpadna, the evil God of carapaces and compound eyes, hadn’t appeared before Vandalieu, and this was apparently because she was busy interfering with Ravovifard

And Ravovifard had apparently been a God of equal rank to Zozogante and Fidirg, but he had soe and Zanalpadna, ere supposed to have possessed more power than him

“I see That itas and have Prince Budarion take the throne, but also do so about Ravovifard… I wonder if I can? He is apparently quite strong, even for a God,” said Vandalieu

“I believe that you can ante

“I’m sure you’ll be fine, kid And you’re close to your next Job-change, right?” said Borkus

“No, I don’t think it will be that simple,” Vandalieu said back to them

Zozogante and Borkus didn’t change their opinions, however
