Book 3: Chapter 21
Congratulations everybody, you’re going to get to see what takes place as I die once again.
First, I need to preface it by saying that I don’t think I have a main male protagonist’s abilities. I can’t die. My life won’t be “saved” if I die. First, I need an apple stand. Unfortunately, I didn’t buy apples when I came here. Where will I end up when I’m resurrected, a fragrance store or a grilled rabbit store?
Or will I wake up in mom’s embrace? And will I have to then kill Earth Dragons again and pay Castor a visit?
Come to think of it, it’s good that I’m mentally awake so I can think about what’s going on right now. I just got stabbed by somebody even Lucia couldn’t detect. She jumped down from the tree and immediately stabbed the dagger into my chest. What I felt when I got stabbed wasn’t pain, but my heart stop. Perhaps the assailant didn’t go for a direct kill and poisoned me instead.
Lucia probably didn’t know who the assailant was, but I do now know. It was a marvellous fragrance both Lucia and I had smelt before. Further, I suddenly recalled that box. Why didn’t I notice it back then? I have one of those boxes too. I use it to hold my bullets. It’s a box humans use to store lead bullets. An elf who has a box to store lead bullets from humans either must’ve bought the same model or prepared a gun.
So could an elf be revolting?
No, I think it’s got to be a scheme the humans thought up. Humans snuck in. Since I can enter and leave freely using a head cloth, it shouldn’t be much different for other humans. No, there must be an insider-elf assisting them. They definitely must’ve prepared guns. However, the person who killed me didn’t carry a gun. So what’s the gun supposed to be used for?
“Traitors!! Kneel before me!”
The queen extended her hand out and the lead bullets flying towards her stopped in mid-air. The elders were so frightened they were completely pale as they sat paralysed on the ground. The queen looked at a group of people who came from all sides as they drew their guns and violently waved her hands. All of them got tied up as though they were bound by invisible ropes. A second wave of assailants charged out. Their long swords emitted a light. The imperial guards that were engaged in combat with the first group of assassins were too busy to assist, so they could only watch as the second group of assassins charged towards the queen.
