Former General Is Undead Knight

Lesson 42 Spinning Hand of Truth •

Lambert, who defeated Tony Rail, vice president of the Alchemy Division, "The Angel of Death," had taken the six boys who were his slaves and the Kreutz clan back to the hitherto passageways of the underground research facility.

On the road, it hits the last check to see if there are any hidden magicians.

"Armored swordsmen, I've seen it with my men, but the passage on this side is empty."

The Kreutz, who were partnering and hitting the exploration, encounter Lambert and shake their heads.

"Right..."

Lambert listens to Kreutz's report and asks Robic, a boy who was one of Tony Rail's slaves.

"Besides Tony Rail, there's got to be someone in charge of this place."

Robic nods small.

"Yes... beside that man, there was this weird guy who disappeared every now and then, wrapped around a robe. It's wider on the side than human, with a beastly silhouette...... He said... that's what makes him one of the Eight Wise Men," Spinner of Truth ", the leader of The Angel of Death... It's just, no one, including me, had ever seen that weird guy talking or doing anything. Maybe it was just a lie and no one like that from the start..."

Lambert often arms and thinks.

Now Lambert is taking the Robics.

It has been confirmed that they have the strength of a ranked soldier in the current situation, but now they are protecting.

If we're looking any further, we should ask Kreutz and the others to escort them and move on their own.

But in Tony Rail's dying words, it was as if 'spinners of truth' were watching Lambert from somewhere.

'The will of that one is immeasurable even for me... I only risk my life and obey its instructions. What I say here must not be what he meant. Just don't worry. I'm sure Master Spinner of Truth will choose you as his playmate.

It was as if to suggest that the 'Spinner of Truth' was already lurking close to Lambert.

Until then, if that word was just a lie to confuse, but at that time, it's a little hard to think about letting it have inclusions and mouth that there are no roots or leaves.

I don't see how the Spinner of Truth could have escaped the facility first.

(If you're not here, think that there was some other reason to temporarily take off the underground facility besides running away...)

Lambert stood still for a little while, but eventually shook his head wide and untied the hand he was putting together.

"You're just wasted thinking. such as the thought of a race of magicians."

The magician's idea of crossing the line is clearly different from that of a regular person.

That was what Lambert had been taught during the War of the Eight Kingdoms.

When killing a sorcerer, don't leave your brain. It was sporadically said among the soldiers during the war.

The magician, headed by his country's alchemist Domillione, who puts his body under study, as it were, his thoughts also deviate from human logic and becomes a monster itself.

... Whether or not, although I didn't hate harming others in any way on a 10,000-person basis, there is also an exception like Gairov's that he avoided embedding one sorcery ceremony in his own body, so it's not generally possible...

"If you look at the people here, you'll want to throw up words like that, but you'll be pissed off by the authentic magicians."

Zero with a bitter smile from Kreutz.

"Mm... no, so is that"

Lambert even wanted to argue a little bit, but swallowed up the words and decided to keep quiet.

It wasn't specifically defined, but in the Age of the War of the Unification of the Eight Kingdoms, there was a tendency to call magicians by those who were too inclined to witchcraft to cross the line as someone else.

Behind it is the treatment of people who can only use magic.

At the time, it was difficult to be a magician in a class that would serve the war properly if you weren't that prepared.

There, a soldier who was exploring another place flies in.

"Master Kreutz! I discovered something suspicious. The stone wall seemed to be a hidden door, behind it, something odd... no, a creature...!

"I'll be on my way, show him around."

Before Kreutz could answer anything, Lambert responded quickly, chasing soldiers.

Kreutz stopped for a moment, distracted, but rushed after Lambert's back.

"What is a strange creature?

Running but Lambert asks.

"Uh, that's..."

"Clearly. If you're stuck in words, say what you see. How's the danger? In some cases, Kreutz and you will be asked to take those boys back."

"There is no danger…. Well, he jumped on me, so if I slashed him, keep going..."

The soldier says in a spicy way, holding down his licence to nauseate about what he remembers.

"You knocked him down? Well done."

"For once...... yes"

"Did you crush your head?

"What..."

As the soldiers guide me, I dive into the stone door and go inside.

Surrounded by lots of paperwork and drugs, strange corpses were rolling with blood paint.

The corpses had two human upper bodies, joined together from the line of the hips.

The two heads on the left and right were both, the ears and nose were shredded, the eyes crushed, the mouth had no teeth left, and there was no tongue.

They say the soldier slashed him, and there's blood all over the center area.

The bloody robe had been peeled off to the side.

After the soldier slashed him, I would have liked to have stripped his robe for fear.

Sure, this doesn't make a man's silhouette, even if he weaves a robe because he can't stand up.

There is no doubt that what was dubbed the 'Spinner of Truth' who was acting with Tony Rail is this.

But at the same time, I can clearly see with one eye that this is not a magician.

A magician can't imitate leaving his body so lightly defenseless before his enemies.

"Dummy......? No, but..."

I don't see why you're so thorough and hiding yourself even within the organization at all.

When I get here, I can only think of one way or another that the 'Spinner of Truth' was pretending to be another magician, or that he wasn't stepping into an underground facility at all in the first place.

Even if it was the former, the research should have led to suspicion from the surrounding area.

As Lambert destroys the two heads of the carcass just in case, he turns back and faces the other soldiers and slaves.

"I want to ask you guys a few questions. It's about Spinner of Truth."

Lambert asks Robic and the others.

"What is it? Actually, I don't know much about the facility..."

"Often I get to be alone... do you have any idea of a magician who was deeply involved with Tony Rail? Whatever he's doing in an underground facility, it's like no one else knows."

"... I was often on the side of that man, but there was nothing like putting my shoulder in a particular sorcerer"

Robic tilts his neck.

"Because that man was brutal, selfish, and always a bad mouth. I don't have a better idea of a magician who doesn't talk in a curse. Sometimes it's just like us or Mr. Alante talking in a spooky cat stroke.... That guy was a young magician with a neat face, so maybe..."

When the other boy continues, the other five snort quietly to indicate their consent.

"Alante......?

"Oh, that's not who he is. He was the one who was forced to bring him here...... naturally he didn't even seem familiar with the sorcery research he was doing here. Sure, it always seemed like they were making me do something in a separate room, something about not handling the human body, experimenting with a forg..."
