The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want a Fourth Time

Chapter 13 Episode 12: Carnival in the Ghoul Community

"Cheers! Cheers to elders and benefactors!"

"Umepu, the meat from the benefactor!"

The Ghoul community, rescued by the eldest Zadiris and recognized and welcomed by warrior chief and next patriarch Vigaro, was deep inside the Makai.

The settlements of the ghouls were much wider and civilized than Vandalu expected.

A pit-type house with a roof made of woven leaves is lined up in a plaza made by cutting through the walls of a magical forest rather than a forest.

I'm wondering if the humidity is OK because of the shape of the building, but it's probably not a problem because it's not a real Amazon or subtropical climate.

After that, a well is dug to secure water, and the area is primitive and the size of a vegetable garden, but there are also fields. It seems that there are even warehouses that ferment the plants obtained in the surrounding dense forest to make sake and process and preserve the prey obtained by hunting.

T r a nslat ed by ｊp mtl .ｃo m The life of the ghouls is like a minority living in the forest, as seen by Vandalu on a television program on the earth. At least it's a more cultural and productive community than demons such as goblins and Kobolts that rely on complete hunting and gathering.

"And I think I'm living a more human life than I've ever been."

Vandalu, who continues to rely on hunting and gathering, including looting from bandits, reaffirmed the ghouls after all when it was important for a stable living base. It is said that people can live a personal life for the first time with clothes, food and housing.

And the ghouls were having a banquet with the meat provided by Vandalu and the bandit's wine that he did not use more than expected.

About a hundred of them. There are about 10 other warriors hunting goblins over the next few days, so it seems more. Although it is not very familiar with the ecology of monsters, it is not difficult to imagine that it is the largest monster settlement on the demon boundary.

Incidentally, the leader of the goblin hunters seems to be the youngest daughter of Zadiris. She is a woman, but she is more talented as a warrior than magic.

And a ghoul man with a lion-like head and arms longer than his legs, and a ghoul woman who is not much different from a human woman except for gray-brown skin, praise Vandalou who helped Zadiris and provided meat and sake. , I have a taste for cooking. That was enough to calm down Vandalu, "I did a good job."

Even if you know the identity of the meat, that impression does not change. Tra n s l at ed b y ｊpｍtl .ｃo m

After all, it is better to eat with everyone.

"Vandaloo, eat you too"

Vigaro offered a skewer of well-baked meat, but Vandaloo shook his head.

"Because there is some resistance to eating human meat"

Yes, Vigaro's skewers, grilled and boiled with herbs, etc. eat the meat of five adventurers killed when Vandaloo saves Zadiris. In other words, it was human flesh.

Although it is not an undead, it is a ghoul different from the image that Vandaloo has, but the feature of eating human flesh was applied.

"Is that so? It's better than the poisoned feet?"

Vigaro leans his head when he sees a roasted hind leg of the poisoned toad being eaten by Vandalu, but Zadiris, sitting next to him, scolds him.

`` Don't invite me too much, I guess Vandalou is a damp peel, so he drinks blood but eats meat. ''

"Well, how about sake?"

"Vandaloo is only one year old, alcohol can only be poisoned. Will you give him resistance skills at a party?"

"One year old !? Is that so?I thought I was older because I was quite small."

Although Vigalo opens his eyes and is surprised, it is no wonder that he looks at the behavior of Vandaloo and seems to have lived much longer than he would seem. No, it's more natural to think.

"Well, a boy who uses magic to take several undead and defeat five adventurers. It's no wonder that he is just an adult with a small body ..."

"Is that so? I'm still a young one-year-old." Tran sl a t e d b y Jpmtl .ｃ om

"I can't see you"

Zadiris and Vigaro shake their heads in line with their voices. I don't mind because I thought "I'm sure".

In fact, nobody would look at today's Vandalu and consider it an "innocent one-year-old" except for magic and undead. An expressionless, dead-eyed dead eye, a sparse presence in front of you. Her hair is unlimited, because Darussia was killed in the latter half of her birth. What she wears is more than a rag and less than clothes.

No matter how favorably you look, it's a ghost.

"Elder, can we greet our benefactors too?"

"Please by all means"

But the impressions of the Ghoul women did not seem to be the case. Several ghoul women star at Vandalu with their yellow eyes shining.

In response, Vandaloo blinked his eyes. I'm amazed that I've never been popular with anyone other than the spirit in my life.

"Um, boy, these are the youngest women in the village, I'm teaching a lot now."

The women introduced by Zadiris certainly looked young. Most appear to be in their mid-teens to around 20 years of age. However, although they have a younger appearance, Zadiris, who is called elder.

"Cute, your hair looks like a mane."

"Beautiful eyes, the colors are different on the left and right."

But mentally they seem to be younger than Zadiris. As soon as they are introduced, they take on a vague alternative to Vandaloo.

"Oh, hey, don't be too violent."

T r ans l a t e d by Ｊp m t l .ｃ om It was pretty rough to grab a leg, lift it upside down, and make it a one-year-old. Vandalou was fine because he was already stronger than an adult man, thanks to Dumpil.

However, it is natural that you will feel uncomfortable if you receive such treatment normally. But Vandalu was not angry at all with their rough welcome.

"that? Maybe this is ...

I have never been so shiny in my life so far. The third time in my life, is it the first mote period? ? Evandalou's thoughts had stopped there, so he couldn't be angry with the violence of his treatment.

The Ghoul women were all beautiful girls or beautiful girls, and all of them were well-exposed because they had settled in a magical forest-like settlement. Even human men will stretch under their nose when they are tied up by them.

Unless you notice the fact that they were also eating meat.

"I say Vandalu. Thank you."

And Vandalu didn't even care about the shards.

If you think about it, the adventurers weren't trying to rape and enslave human girls and sell them off as slaves. They were attacking Ghoul Zadiris, a socially demonized monster.

Of course, selling her as a slave is an illegal act, but it's a crime of saying, "I put a monster in the town, which I didn't even aim at," so it's different from the law that prohibits illegally selling a human girl.

And by the time Vandalu was attacked, they were just trying to rape a monster female. It's not a crime. Which country enforces the law, "Never rape or humiliate a demon female?" No, maybe it would mean that weird illness wouldn't become epidemic.

Ethically, female adventurers and guild receptionists will frown and despise. But they have not violated the rules.

In the first place, adventurers exist to exterminate demons and protect people. Ghoul has roots in the goddess Vida, but is defined as a demon in the Amid Empire and its dependencies.

So rape before killing is legally no problem.

Thus, the act of killing an adventurer by Vandaloo is merely a raid, and the act of stripping equipment from a corpse is a bandit itself.

Tra n sl at ed by Ｊpmt l .c oｍ However, if you think further, you can say, "So what happened?"

Because Vandaloo is a dumpy. The Amid Empire and its dependents are defined as "monsters" that are neither human nor anything.

In other words, it is the same as ghoul. It attacks humans and does harm.

Then attack a group of guarded adventurers, kill them all, plunder their equipment, and act on the flesh to find out what's wrong.

After all, Vandaloo is like a goblin or poison toad for that adventurer. Where you need to worry.

If Vandaluu is going to do some human rights work on Dampir in the sphere of the Amid Empire, he may have to worry ... but he did not. I'm sorry to be asked, such a troublesome thing.

The welcoming people feel more familiar with ghouls than humans. If you are so pleased, should we save the bandits of bandits?Let's do it now.

Thinking like that while floating.

"I hope my child will be as strong as Vandalu. I'm 30 years old and I still can't leave my parents."

"Hey, can you pat me my stomach?-I hope your baby will be born a strong child like you."

"I say Bilde. If my newborn child is a man, can I get your name?"

It fell at a stretch. All of them seem to be mothers or mothers soon. I didn't notice because my stomach was still flat.

I didn't think I could have that kind of relationship with them, nor did I really hope. Anyway, I'm still a one-year-old, so it can't be done. However, I couldn't help feeling the mood.

At the same time, what is your personality that disappoints you? At first, he was frustrated by the self-hatred that he did not remember when he killed the adventurers.

"Yes! I'm not tired and limp, let's release the boy!"

When viewed from the side, I could only see it loose.

Ghoul, at least a rank 3 undead monster. It has higher intelligence and sociability than subhuman demons such as other goblins, oaks, and kobolts, and its appearance differs greatly by gender.

Commonly has grayish brown skin with yellow eyes, strong power, secretes paralytic poison from nails, and prefers carnivores. It is also strong in poison and pain, and has a strong vitality.

Males have a lion's head and excel in warrior abilities, especially those with greater power and paralytic poison than females.

On the other hand, females generally have the appearance of beautiful women, and although their physical abilities are lower than males, many of them have magical qualities and often use simple magic.

But it's not that there are no female warriors or male sorcerers.

Ghouls may also perform special rituals that turn human corpses into family members.

Ghoul Warrior, Ghoul Berserker, Ghoul Mage and the like exist as higher species, and higher Ghoul Tyrant and Ghoul Elder Mage have been confirmed in the past.

"This is information I know about ghouls ... are you going to spend the spring in that ghoul settlement?"

"Yes. And mother, Ghoul is not an undead but a vampire, and seems to be a race with roots in Vida."

Vandalu responded to the worried face of Darussia with his usual expressionless expression.

"So I'm too worried. If you are undead, you will be friendly with Vandaloo's skill, but is it different? What if they get hungry and try to eat Vandaloo?

For Darussia, who had just woke up and did not look directly at the Zadiris, the worries were extremely legitimate.

"I think it's ok. Maybe. At least, I don't feel the 'sign of death' here, just like sneaking into Ebbezia."

Vandaloo was tolerant of some, if not all, of their friendly attitude.

Neither Darussia nor Vandalu himself have noticed yet, but his skill of mesmerizing death attributes worked well for the ghouls.

"And I still have to spend some time in the right place until spring. The Zadiris say they can stay forever."

Vandalu was asked by the top of the community to ask if he could stay until spring. Enchanting skills and meat are great.

"I'd like to have Zadiris teach you a lot later in the spring."

"That's good about the election of Orbaum ... isn't it?

"Yes, I knew I had a guild card problem."

Vandalou glanced at the five guild cards on the carriage, which had become rather wide because of the sake. It is the property of the adventurers who attended the feast, with their names and the fact that they are D-class adventurers.

Of course, I'm going to get rid of it later, but I've heard some very important information from the spirits of the adventurers, so I've been looking a bit before that.

Guild cards have the ability to display your status to others. Other people's stats that can only be seen by using special magic and magic items.

However, it seems that the owner of the card can adjust how far the status is shown. Whether to show only the name and current job, the job history up to now, or the ability values and skills. It is the owner's freedom.

However, when you first create a guild card, all information is displayed to guild staff.

"That's why the moment I become an adventurer, my skills and curses are broken."

"Well, it's awkward. Usually, I'm glad I can get a reward. "

The Adventurer's Guild pays rewards to adventurers who show or gain unknown jobs and skills.

And the skills that Vandaloo has already acquired, Death Attribute Magic and Death Attraction, were unknown skills.

It was first heard of Darussia when Vandaloo described his premortal and premortal lives. To be precise, when I heard my son's skill structure, I realized that there was a skill that was first heard.

"The moment you register with a guild, you become a celebrity. The magician guild will definitely pay attention.

I think there will be a curse about the curse later. ''

"But now I can't forget my skills or get rid of the curse in advance, so I want to gain some knowledge, skills and power before registering in the guild."

In this world, without any parents, living in human society requires a guarantee of identity, which requires registration with some guild. And since every guild has a guild card, Vandaloo's skills and curses are apparent.

However, since the guild is basically an organization to protect members, it does not unfairly restrain or abduct Vandaloo's own personality, even if it is to elucidate unknown skills and curses. No other member or non-members will be able to manage Vandaloo just because they have an unknown skill or curse.

Ostensibly.

I know that everyone in the world is not just good people who follow the rules and ethics.

"Can't you help? Zadiris seems to be able to use magic and people are taught a lot. Even if you can't master the magic itself, you can definitely apply it to death-type magic. ''

"Yes, mom"

Thus, Vandalu lived in the ghoul community for a while.
