419 419. The Moment Of Truth

"How did he die, exactly?" Sylvester inquired. 

Bishop Lazark started speaking in detail. "Our mentor was a brilliant necromancer, as he taught it to me and EX10. He was too old by the time I was an adult, but his power was still in his prime. His demise was not sudden, as he had been sick for a long time. He spent his last few days in bed. That's all I know. This has to be another man with the same name, Lord Bard." 

Sylvester understood that Bishop Lazark was not a very talkative man. What he said about his teacher was not very helpful, but it was enough to raise some doubts. 

"Did you see his dead body?" Sylvester asked. 

"No, I had to leave for my church examination when he was too sick. It was my brother who gave him company during his last days. I don't like my brother, but even he won't lie to me about our teacher." 

"Unless he was a part of the plan." Sir Dolorem interjected.
