"Though the thumb general has a small mouth count, he was a very kind and very good man.Just like Princess Emmel, she lost her life in the battle just before the final duel to protect the Braves.At that time, the finger doll was not recovered, so I think maybe I managed to recover it afterwards.General Schwarzene may have searched for the artifact because everyone liked it.I couldn't collect anything immediately after the battle..... "

Fumina, the Shielded Mourning God, looked back at the time and clouded his expression.

General Schwarrone, nicknamed General Thumb, seems to have been killed in battle just like Empress Emeraldia in order to protect the Brave One.

"Um... that thumb general was" Hommunkurus, "but was he the same" Hommunkurus? "

I asked you something that bothered me a little.

"No, General Schwarzene was the only survivor of the Third Generation Artificial Life Form, which was discontinued a long time ago.Niko-chan is quite different because she is a fourth-generation type that was created with a completely new idea after the research and production of "Homuncrus" resumed. "

Emeraldia answered.

"Does that mean General Schwarzen was born a long time ago and has lived since?"

"Yes, General Schwarzene was created about 400 years ago from that time.From now on, it will be about 3,400 years ago.He wasn't just active all the time, he was a test subject for cold sleep technology.So I woke up 400 years later. "

"I see... so you just happened to be a subject of a cold sleep device, so in Emeraldia's time, it was just there?"

"Yes, Cold Sleep technology was established when Labyrinth technology was developed, and the final challenge seemed to be to actually wake up on schedule or live without problems after hundreds of years.It was a dangerous experiment without a guarantee of awakening, so I guess Homunkurus was chosen.... "

"When I woke up, was there a problem?"

"It seems so, but it was quite difficult to keep him alive afterwards.After he became a subject, Homunkurus production technology and research at the time was frozen and the technology was almost lost over time.At the end of the empire we were working on, the development of Homuncrus was restarted, and the fourth generation of the technology was rebuilt and designed, but at the same time, the culture tank was redesigned and reproduced to repair the cells.It was repeatedly verified and adjusted for the General, and it was managed to maintain it regularly.From the first to the third generation, it was a specification that required regular maintenance to repair cell degradation. "

"I see. Regular maintenance was the most important point.Just because you had the most powerful knight in the Empire, was Homunkurus still quite talented? "

"Yes, especially the third generation Homunkurus, whose philosophy of Homunkurus development was twisted and developed to fight on behalf of people, had particularly high physical abilities, starting with various statuses.From the beginning, it was born as an adult with a status value of about level 20, and since the actual level is 1, it becomes much stronger than normal by simply raising the level from there.But in our time, all those materials were lost, and there were just rumors like that.The appearance of the general confirms that the legendary content was almost true.Naturally, it seems that the military wanted to create the same "Homuncrus" as the general, but it could not because of the loss of its technology and materials. "

"I see... your physical abilities were high, so you were pretty strong in actual combat?"

"Yes, they have demonstrated exceptional skill in combat tests.Therefore, he was appointed a knight to defend the Empire and was immediately granted the status of General.A Champion was then summoned and chosen as a support member of The Champions.In addition to the stats, it seems to have a high natural healing ability and a body that is susceptible to skills and magic.This seems to be due to the fact that various species of cells were also incorporated in the design stage.Either way, I think he had the same or more power as the hero who summoned him. "

Emeraldia said emotionally.

"The Braves loved the silent thumb generals."

Fumina smiled nostalgically.

Looks like he loved General Thumb.

Incidentally, Niko-chan from Homunkurus became Homunkurus, a fourth-generation artificial life form.

It was newly designed to resume the development and production of Homunkurus, which had been suspended for a long time.

Instead of producing as an adult from the beginning, it was designed to be produced as a five-year-old and grow from there in the same way as a human family.

However, after the age of majority, it was designed with the same characteristics as the fairy clan that appearance would grow for one year in ten years.

By making it a specification that grows slowly in a way that incorporates the characteristics of people and even fairies, it is designed to live in normal life for a long time without the need for regular maintenance.

That's why Niko-chan can live a normal life without going into the culture tank regularly.

Third-generation technology has been lost, so it is not exactly the same, but since it reproduces similar technology and is enhanced by incorporating cells of other species, it also means that it is significantly more capable than the human race.

Niko-chan will be pretty strong from now on.
