814 They are Expert Interrogators
“Wrong choice of weapon?” I asked Victoria.
“Yes. He’s decent enough as a swordsman. But that’s all he is. Why did you pick two-handed sword anyway? And two of them at that?” Victoria asked the summoner.
“Well, I’m good at using both hands. And two-handed sword seems to be longer and stronger than a normal one-handed sword. You said before that it was good for me,” the summoner said.
Right. Back when he and the other master level mages were testing their weapons to find the one that suit them the most, both Victoria and Sonia agreed that he can use two-handed swords in both hands. But now, Victoria changed her mind.
“Yeah. You’re good just because you can use them. But that’s all. In fact, after watching you train today, I don’t think you will grow anymore no matter how much you try. I don’t know how strong the centaur is, but maybe you can still defeat them using a two-handed sword. But if you want to get stronger, you picked the wrong choice,” Victoria said.
“Then what do we do? He will fight the centaur soon. He can’t just change his weapon right now,” I asked.
“We can let him fight with two-handed sword as it is, or get him a weapon that suit him right now and train until the centaur returned. They still haven’t returned yet, right?” Victoria asked.
I checked the surrounding using my Divine Vision and I still didn’t see any centaurs returning here. Seems like their village is so far. Or maybe it take a lot of convincing them all to come here.
Maybe it’s best if we go there. But the centaur said that they don’t let strangers into the village. So we can only wait.
.....
So, while the tamer is making fun of the summoner for his poor choice of weapon, the summoner had Victoria to change into different type of weapon and tested them.
“You can’t laugh at him. We also don’t know if spear is the right choice for you or not. And you also picked two of them,” I said to the tamer.
He’s also an expert level ice mage. He can create a practice target from ice or even create his own weapons.
But since his magic control is not at the same level as Shirley or our other ice mages, he can’t create his own weapon. So it’s best for him to get used to his weapon first before he can make them with magic.
But for the tamer, he seems comfortable with those spears. If he used both at the same time, it will be impossible for him to use the twisting spear technique that I showed him before. But maybe he has some other ideas.
These two are strong. Physically. Magically, there are a lot of things to improve since they haven’t used magic for at least a hundred years And barely learn about magic control.
We need to remind them again that they are also mages. They can’t forget about their own magic. Even if they trained their bodies, their magic is as important for them to get stronger.
I looked at the summoner again and see that he has finally picked his weapon. Nice. Though I don’t think it’s a good time to pick the real weapon from the blacksmith. So let’s get him use the Blobbies as weapons first.
It’s good that the centaur is late. After two hours of waiting, while playing card games with Albert and Sonia who came by to watch and train the summoner and tamer, I finally see the group of centaurs.
As for the horse monsters that Ray brought here, they left somewhere else. If Ray called, they will gather here quickly. But there’s no need for that.
“They’re here. Everyone, get ready!”
Soon after, dozens of centaurs arrived. There are a lot of them. About more than twice the centaurs that previously came here.
The same centaur as before took the role as the leader and told me to start talking. But before that, I need to see if they’re lying or not.
“The enemies are those who can come to this world as well and potentially come to you to recruit you or tame you. So I want all of you to promise me to not tell anyone about what I’m going to tell you,” I said.
“We agreed to that,” the centaur leader said.
“Just to make sure. You can detect lies, right? How about you ask the others if they are willing to keep their promise or not. If there is anyone who lies and can’t keep a secret, or maybe they have been involved with the enemies, then we won’t tell you anything,” I said.
In fact, I would kill them all right away if they have gotten themselves involved with the cult.
The centaur then started talking to each other and see if anyone is telling lies. There don’t seem to be anyone lying. Everyone is willing to keep their promise.
Is what we thought.
They said that they have confirmed that everyone is willing to keep the promise. Everyone except for one centaur.
I have been using Divine Vision to observe all the centaurs here. They have talked to each other, but there’s someone they missed. She acted like she has been asked that question and is checking the other centaurs. So no one knows whether she has been asked or not.
By the way, the female centaurs are wearing clothes on their upper body. So their upper body is not naked. As for lower body, I guess they are not ashamed to show it to anyone.
“You! Tell me that you will not tell anything you heard here to anyone!” I shouted at the centaur.
“It is important for a secret to not be leaked after all. So it shouldn’t be fine for anyone to leak the secret, right?”
Instead of answering, she just asked back.
“Just say yes or no!” I shouted.
“Well, the thing is that, a secret that is leaked can be dangerous for everyone involved. So a secret shouldn’t be leaked at all,” she said.
She’s just speaking nonsense. Trying to not answer me at all.
“Hey. You all can detect lies, right? Then I will tell you all this. If she doesn’t answer me right now, I will kill her and everyone precious to her. Tell me, am I lying or not?”
I also used a bit of pressure as an Aura Master to make them afraid of me. It’s just a bit though, so they won’t be afraid. But they will know that I’m serious about it. After all, I’m not lying.
And the centaur in question also noticed that I didn’t lie at all. She’s the one who is scared.
She looked around her to see that everyone is suspicious at her. Then she turn around and try to escape. But Ray is blocking her way. Ray just slammed his body to that female centaur and stopped her.
“I see that at least one of you has been involved with the enemy who is trying to destroy the world. Just to be safe, I will kill her. I don’t want any tamer or summoner to hear her messages via telepathy,” I said.
“Wait! We’ll do it ourselves. The world is at risk but one of us is helping the group who will destroy it instead of protecting it. And we don’t know how many more centaurs is involved. Let us ask them some questions first,” the centaur leader said.
Well, that’s fine with me. As long as we’re working toward the destruction of the cult, that’s fine. Though I haven’t told the centaurs about anything yet.
Maybe they are the kind of race who is close to nature. I think that they can get along with the elves then.
They brought that female centaurs somewhere else. And I just talked to Albert.
“So, is there no one else other than her who lied?” I asked.
“No. I didn’t sense anyone lying. So everyone is speaking the truth. Anyway, what are they doing?” Albert asked me about the centaurs.
“Well... they brought that centaur quite far from here. I can’t tell what they’re talking about. But Sonia is there following them so you can ask her later. Let me just say this. They are expert interrogators and torturers. It’s far, but I think that female centaur is screaming non-stop,” I said.
What I see is something... I don’t know what to call it, but evil is the closest thing to it. They just tortured the female centaur to talk until she speak the truth. Until they can’t detect any lies from her.

It took a while. And when that female centaur is no longer breathing, they just left her there and return back to us.
...They are so cruel to their own kind. But as a human, I can’t say anything about it.
“Sorry about that. Apparently, she has been in contact with a certain cult. So, is that cult the reason for the world destruction?” the centaur leader asked.
“If that cult is the same cult as what we’re going to talk about, then yes. Anyway, I want to introduce you to this man, Albert. He’s the king of a kingdom in our world. I think even if you can detect lies, you will believe him more than me,” I said.
And so, I let Albert explain to them about what happened that can lead to the destruction of the world.
