Chapter 14: Danger!
"What do you mean. I did not see the body flinch when I picked it up. Dead bodies don’t flinch. Maybe it was the accumulated fatigue that affected your judgement.
I would understand too, nobody wants to be in the shoes that we are currently in, but the good news is that the storm is finally over and we can resume with our lives peacefully." Otto said, as he dismissed the possibility that the elf was alive.
"No. this cant be fake. I truly saw the body move. If the elf is suddenly alive, we can’t just leave it inside the dungeon.
So, nobody saw the body move?" Marat asked with a worried expression.
She looked at the remaining members of the group but they all shook their head indicating that they did not catch sight of the body flinching.
Although the rest of them did not catch site of what happened, Lazar actually did.
Lazar clearly saw the supposed corpse move even when Gunt threw it to the ground but he did not say anything.
He confirmed again when the body was picked up that it was possibly alive when the body was picked up by Otto. He clearly as bright as day saw the body move.
But he had no intention of saying anything or being a second witness to what happened.
There was no way that he was going to return the golden knife to the body after he had kept it for himself.
The grouped had agreed that the elf was dead and it would be better if the elf was truly dead or died again.
