"So far yes. Make sure the eyeball stays in your pocket and don't lose it. Apparently, the system will detect it automatically. Now, we just need to get into the palace and find out what their plans are, and how they drove the beasts from our dome. That's our only job and after that, we get out of here as fast as we can. Understand?" I asked.
Rex was silent. He already knows we won't save his father now. It is too reckless to challenge the palace without a mature plan. But I promised to find out how his father was doing by entering the palace.
"I hope the team that entered from the South gate can join us soon," I said.
“I will give a sign to Danila so that she will follow to this place immediately,” said Rosanda.
"Will it attract attention?" I a
I don't know if this is a good idea, but while it's still dark I think we can do this more safely."Yes, General," they said.We immediately came out of our hiding place and walked like we were on patrol. I was in the front row and everyone followed me. I kind of forgot the way to the palace myself, but once we got to the main road, we could see the tower of the palace which was very high, so we knew where to go. I felt my heart pounding, afraid that the people of the capital would find out.With quickened steps, I continued towards the palace. Our journey was quite far, but luckily the road was getting quieter. I tried not to attract attention by walking the small, quiet streets. There are many roads leading to the palace and of course there are many side streets. We continued walking without speaking
When the time came, I woke up Dil to replace me on guard. The man woke up instantly, or maybe he didn't really sleep. No one can really sleep in a situation like this. When I rest and even close my eyes, my brain keeps spinning and I don't really fall asleep. I even know when Dil takes shifts with the others.When we all thought we had enough rest, I got up and tried to see the situation by peeking at the door. Someone will break into the warehouse sooner or later, so we have to get out of here quickly. With great care, I opened the door very slightly, so that I was only peeking through the thin opening. It was still very early in the morning so the sun was still shyly shining. I saw several palace maids getting on duty. Seeing the female maid, I immediately came up with an idea.Quickly, I closed the warehouse door and returned to my prepared team."You guys, each take one of these bags to put in the eyeballs you took," I said, showing the plastic bag I found last night.They immedia
"Something is really wrong," I said.'I think so. Do you have any other ideas?’ Rex asked in my mind.I have absolutely no idea what to do now because I have no ideas. This door is the only entrance to the palace library I know of. I used to enter through this door. Even if I want to find another way, it's not necessarily a safer way."I thought we should just go in. I don't know what will happen next, but we don't have much choice now,” I whispered.'Do it,' replied Rex.I took a deep breath, preparing for something that might be very dangerous after this. However, I still stepped my foot closer to the big door. With a pounding heart and a bit of hesitation, I finally touched the door handle and went inside.I closed the door and my heart felt like it was about to drop at that moment because I thought there would be a surprise inside. However, my estimate was wrong. Nothing happened in there. Everything looked the same as I remembered before.'This is really weird,' said Rex who also
Now we just need to find a way to get out of this place. The Black Cloud must be very angry because Noe and I managed to go in and out many times and now I'm back in while carrying the prisoner. However, Noe had said something about having a prisoner's mark keeping him from getting out of this place. Noe and I didn't have those marks so we could get out safely. Unfortunately, I just remembered now. How can I get Rum Hito out of here? I have not thought about it."Let's go from here!" I called out to Rex's dad.I don't know what will happen next, but I should at least try to get him out of here. However, now the situation is getting more difficult because the black cloud has surrounded me from all directions and the light from the golden tree is getting narrower. I screamed and groaned, trying to let out more light, but I couldn't. The more I tried, I even spewed fire from all over my body and it didn't help at all.“You have grown so much,” said Rum Hito. His eyes were full of adorati
“Finally you are back, General Rex Hito. I've been waiting for you. I didn't expect that you could walk into a trap this easily. You selfishly tried to save your father and let your friends get caught too because of the commotion you created. What an extraordinary general,” said the King.'We've really run into a trap,' Rex said with a soft chuckle.Somehow I found Rex's words so funny that I chuckled too. I tried to hold back my laughter but I laughed until my body was shaking, as if something was really funny. Everyone looked at me with different expressions. Dil and the other totem warriors looked at me with scared and worried looks, while the soldiers probably thought I was crazy. The King glared at me angrily."You laugh at me?" he asked in a rising tone.I was about to answer, but somehow I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe it's because I'm so depressed, maybe it's true that I've gone a little crazy. Rex was laughing inside my mind. We both found it very funny that we actually walke
“There is some sort of weapon that can be found with that totem codes book. I heard that with this weapon, all tribes inevitably have to become slaves to the kingdom and can no longer disobey," said Rum Hito."What about the Grand Flaming Core?" I asked.“I don't know what about the totem. When I was caught by the palace soldiers, they took it from me. I never saw him again,” answered Rum Hito.I then sighed and looked at the totem codes book in front of me, it seems I really have to repair this totem codes book. With a very heavy heart, I'm trying to remember how I can improve this book. From the few pages I've fixed before, I can see that they've been read many times and maybe some people have tried to fix them like I did, but they haven't been able to.I tried to fix a few pages until my strength ran out. The Golden Tree's light had completely dimmed and I was barely able to stand up any longer."I need food!" I shouted.I'm sure they can hear me because now this library room is un
The soldier was about to leave me, but suddenly he saw the tray Rosanda and Danila had brought earlier."What's that?" he asked.I gulped. I'm sure Rosanda and Danila got into the library by tricking the guards somehow. They shouldn't have come in here just now and now they've gone somewhere. I don't know what's in the tray because I can't open it and now I don't know what to answer.“H-How should I know?” I said a little perfunctorily because I really had no idea what to say.“We've delivered beast meat before. Then who delivered this food?” he asked again while approaching the trays that Rosanda had delivered.My heart was pounding as the man drew closer to the completely unopenable tray. I don't know what Rosanda and Danila are planning. Even Rais, Rum, Dil, and the other two totem Warriors probably didn't realize that the two women who had entered were Rosanda and Danila.I tried to avert my gaze and immediately started repairing the totem codes book. There's nothing I can do othe
After several minutes of running, we finally came out of the tunnel and saw a beautiful scene before our eyes. In front of us stretched a vast meadow, and in the distance, we could see towering mountains. Apparently, there was a way out that didn't require entry and exit that existed within the eyeballs of the capital's residents."We did it!" cried Rosanda happily."But we have to get out of here quickly before the royal troops find us," I said.We ran as fast as we could away from the capital, but from a distance, I could hear the hooves of horses chasing us. I figured they might still be some distance from our location, but there was a sudden thump on the ground in front of us. We were thrown back several meters and fell to the dusty ground.I felt my ears ringing from the sound of the explosion and my body ached all over. However, there was no time to think about the injuries on my body, I immediately looked around for my team."Father! Dill! Rosanda! Daniela! Rais!” I shouted hoa
