Former General Is Undead Knight

Episode 44: Count Obock

After the raid on the Count Obock residence, Germain headed to the King's Capital to plead guilty to Count Obock.

The evil of the lord of the city of Einsas, Count Obock, was to be known all over the country.

Count Obock was captured alive, but later, in the king's capital, the death penalty was carried out.

Repeated violations of Kingdom law and massacres were also felonies, above all because of the serious importance attached to shoulder placement in the anti-state organisation 'whistle-blowing demons'.

The shock of the fact that Count Obock of the position, a dignitary in the kingdom, had financed an anti-state organization, was enormous.

The kingdom's alertness to the 'whistle blowing demon' also increased, but the 'whistle blowing demon' is massive and some of them just call themselves to put foil on it.

Sometimes people who were supposed to be in a high position in the organization were only informed about the scope under their control, and the reality was not grasped at all.

Where investigations and measures have been carried out, the scale and purpose remain the same, completely opaque.

Speaking of the only thing I've found out, that it doesn't seem like 'just a bunch of people developing magic banned from the country' until now, that's all.

With the death penalty of the Earl of Oboch, the crushing of the Earl, the eyes of suspicion were also turned to other aristocrats who had strong connections with the Earl of Oboch, and the Knights of the King's Capital were sent for an investigation, but it is the present that there are many big men and the investigation is difficult to navigate.

About the second month had passed, new lords had also appeared in the city of Einsas, and the country was finally beginning to regain its calm.

It was also during that period that Germain stopped at the city of Einsas.

Germain was face-to-face at the tavern with a trio of Fiona, Lloyd and Lily, who were key members of the guild, Twilight of the Spirit.

"Long time no see, Guildmaster"

When Fiona bows her head, Germain laughs bitterly.

"... as far as I'm concerned, it suited me better. Raw hate, but I'm supposed to take over the title of the house that was torn down. I'm sorry I'm being selfish."

Germain was originally born in the Baron family, but was blinded to the Earl of Orbok and sentenced to each clan for wrongdoing.

Only Germain, who had left the house and become an adventurer, had managed to escape by throwing away his original name.

Even if he returned the title now, it was Germain's mood, but if he threw it away, this time his family name would really disappear.

Originally, when it wasn't sexually appropriate, it was a house where I had a fight with my parents and jumped out.

Germain nevertheless chose to rebuild the house.

"Uh... guildma... je, mr. jerman, ki, were you a nobleman?

Lloyd, who had not been able to grasp much of the series of disturbances, opened his mouth and asked Germain.

That re-worded Germain name itself, which was only a pseudonym to hide itself from the Earl of Orbok, Germain dared not correct.

"I heard a new lord is coming to Ainsas, but no way..."

"No, that's not it. Einsas here is an important city in the country, even if it rots. You can't leave it to someone like me. We talked about being chosen by royal relatives not to privatize the likes of Oboch."

In response to Fiona's question, Germain shakes his head and answers.

"Seriously... I thought I'd be able to work again when the Alliance Master returns and I didn't desperately eat it..."

Lloyd puts his cheeks on the table and exhales a deep sigh.

Including Lloyd, members of The Twilight of the Spirit don't stand up that far.

Originally, Germain wanted the title of Guildmaster of the city of Einsas in order to gather information about Count Obock.

Strength is at best, except for Germain, under inside, etc.

Re-registering for other guilds isn't creepy and hard to do, and not many guilds want them without a clear handle.

"Lloyd, I told you that on purpose at a time like this..."

Lily tells him like he's stunned and Fiona laughs bitterly.

"As knights of my house, I'd like to hire you in, if you'd like. We need manpower. Even for me, it would be very helpful to have a familiar face"

Lloyd, hearing it, takes his seat with admiration.

"Ho, ho, is that true? Mr. Germain...... No, Master Germain!

In the adventurers and knights of the weak guild, face and treatment are very different.

Naturally, for that matter, there will be more responsible work, but it must be a big one.

"Li, Lily and Fiona are going, of course, right? Huh? Right?

Lily nodded silently.

Fiona shook her head after showing a little thought.

"I appreciate the invitation...... a little more, I'm going to keep the adventurer going. Now again, somewhere else. Sorry, sir."

"Right. Too bad... well, I thought Fiona would say that."

That's it, Germain lowers his brow butt slightly and looks around the tavern.

"That man... he's not in Ainsas anymore?

"... Oh, yeah, if you're an old man from Lambert, you haven't seen him since that day. Flirting... that's what disappeared like a ghost"

"Right. I thought it wouldn't be weird when I was gone because it seemed complicated... but again, I missed you."

"Oh, my God, I want Lambert's old man, and we don't have to do that."

Lloyd tells me to be slightly obstinate.

"It's not like that, because you're a benefactor. Besides, that guy wouldn't be the kind of guy who gets under me."

"If you're on edge, you'll see me again. I'm sure."

After the raid at the Orbok Mansion, Germain told them what had happened at the Orbok Mansion and then was on his way to the Wang Capital.

After Lambert boarded the Aubok mansion and almost went wild on his own to destroy private soldiers in the mansion, he slaughtered and killed Hector after a heavy battle in front of the Earl of Aubok, he said.

Normally it wasn't exactly a believable story, but they knew Lambert was out of standard. After a lot of surprise, I thought calmly somewhere that it must be true,

But on that day, Lambert disappeared from the city of Einsas.

It's as if it didn't exist from the beginning, that's what he called himself a ghost.

Combined with the unrealistic strength of the person, even Germain, who actually saw it and benefited from it, is enough to occasionally think that it was just a dream.

Behind Germain's brain emerged a Lambert slashing a bouncing hector with a big sword that swung down.

There was an emotion as if I had been present at one end of history and a quiet excitement.

Germain looks out the window.

I find a man in the street with armor and look out for him unexpectedly, but knowing that he was a completely different person, I let my licence slip into mockery at my mistakes.

"... maybe it was real"
