Chapter 420: Fall of Gold (4)
By the time I opened my eyes, the sun had already set.
“…….”
I was lying on the floor of Brother Zepar’s room. I could hear an owl hooting from the slight opening in the window. I stayed there motionless for a while as I listened to the sound of birds crying out to the night sky. It almost felt like my entire sense of hearing was being occupied by their cries.
“Ugh.”
My sense of sight and touch gradually pushed my hearing away. For starters, there was a prickly sensation pressing against my cheek. It was probably because I passed out with my face shoved into the carpet as there were acutely visible marks left on my face. I rubbed my cheek with my right hand as I pulled myself up. After coming this far, the first thought to go through my head was simple.
‘……Everything is going according to plan up to this point.’
That’s right. This was all a part of my plan.
As soon as that thought went through my head, my thoughts chained one after another like catching multiple fish with one hook. Mountain Faction, Sitri. Plains Faction, Barbatos. Internal conflict and instigation…….
A sacrifice.
