Chapter 57: The Lost Book (16)
An hour ago, the mirror world.
Giant birds flew through the sky, and owls carried Qiu Yue straight to Mirkor's castle.
They are forced to carry out a plan arranged by Jerry, the leader of the rat guerrillas.
Qiu Yue closed her eyes, the owl's betrayal made her feel uncomfortable, she wanted to lose her temper, but this temper was suppressed by herself. Think about it, I just feel that I am too deep into the play, that owl is just an NPC pieced together by the technology of base technology, the plot is interpreted like this, so what can I do?
"Why do you think Jerry betrayed Mirkor?" The owl asked, a hint of embarrassment in his words.
Qiu Yue pondered for a moment and replied: There must be some special reason why a leader was betrayed by his strongest troops. Didn't you say that the rat named Mirko had mastered the northern frontier because of the lost book he had? Could it be that Jerry betrayed him because he lost or stole his book? β
"Possibly." The owl said.
Stolen books?
This thought piqued Qiu Yue's interest, and she opened her mind slightly, and threw out another question: "If Mirkor's book is missingβthen why does Jerry, the guerrilla leader with the same name as the protagonist of Cat and Mouse, ask us to help eliminate Mirkor?" He's a lot more powerful than Mirkor, right? β
"Who knows?" The owl said, "Let's do what the opportunity is." β
Qiu Yue heard the owl's perfunctory, and she didn't know what the bird was thinking. Silent as a man and a bird, they flew in silence until they came to the castle that was said to be Mirkor.
They descended slowly.
Mirkor's castle was bigger than Qiu Yue had imagined, but it was also bigger than she had imagined...... Be depressed. The marble castle was full of smoke and ruins, and below it were a few raged rats that ran away when they saw the owl, just as a mouse in nature meets a predator.
Qiu Yue's conjecture was a little more certain.
When they landed at the castle, they immediately recognized the rat named Mirkor, the leader of the area, who was much stronger than the other rats. He was wearing a luxurious golden dress, but his eyes were red, with heavy bags under his eyes, and he looked tired and depressed.
Mirko saw the fallen owl and Autumn Yue at a glance, and he only glanced at them before looking away, not at all as interested in them as Jerry had described.
The Rat King didn't ask them why they were here, nor did he reveal his intentions, his tone was flat, "Get out of here, Demon Eagle." Do not set foot in my kingdom again, and depart before I am angry, and perhaps avoid the prophecy that you will die here. β
Qiu Yue could hear the owl's giant beak creaking with anger, and she knew what the bird was thinking.
What a good old man! This is not your kingdom at all! This is what my father laid down!
But the owl smiled stiffly, and now he needed to lie dormant in order to actually stab the arrow of vengeance into the heart of the mouse in front of him.
"Your Majesty," said the owl, with a distinguished salutation, "I have not come to seek revenge against you. The Northern Continent has always been ruled by the strong, my father is missing, you inherit the throne, I have no complaints. β
"Oh, really?"
Mirko looked suspicious, and although he knew that the owl must have come here for his own purpose, praise always made people let their guard down, "Then what do you ask for?" β
"I'm here to solve your problems." The owl said.
"Solve my trouble?" Mirko laughed when he heard this, "It's good that you don't want to be my trouble!" Still solve the trouble for me? Joke. β
Despite being ridiculed by Mirkor, the owl was not annoyed, but only lightly provided information: "I met a fierce and huge mouse named Jerry. β
Hearing the name, Mirko's face changed, and Qiu Yue heard his fur crackle, and his eyes lit up with hatred.
"Where is he?"
"This is exactly the information I am going to provide, Your Majesty Mirkor," said the owl, "for some unknown reason, he has approached the castle with an army. But as I walked through the jungle, I saw the little beasts lying on the ground groaning, poisoned by the miasma, lying less than five kilometers east of the castle! If that's all I wouldn't bother Your Majesty, in the spirit of being a member of the mirror world, I flew over to see what was going on, but I didn't expect that the group of rats would shoot me with bows and arrows! And scolded me for being the same bastard as Your Majesty! I don't think it's an exaggeration to say what happens to this kind of beast. β
"There's no better chance to annihilate those brutes! Your Majesty," continued the owl, "lead the army, and I will take you to destroy these brutes!" β
The owl knew that this was an outright lie, and that Jerry had taught him to do so. But he wasn't sure if Mirko would believe it.
Cunning by nature, Mirko himself is a master liar and a repeat offender, preferring to believe nothing rather than believing what others say. However, Jerry was at odds with him for some reason, and Mirko was delighted by the fact that he was in a helpless situation, and he decided to investigate despite the possibility of a trap.
Out of some consideration, Mirko still pretended not to be interested, squinted his eyes and said "um", "I already know the matter, but do you know that Jerry is the leader of the most elite guerrillas under me, and you slander him like this, isn't it a wedge between me and him!" β
The owl's brain rattled, and a cold sweat fell.
Does he know......
Qiu Yue, who was standing next to her, sighed, took a step forward, and said her conjecture: "The relationship between Your Majesty and Jerry, do you still need us to break up?" Your castle is so dilapidated, is it his masterpiece? And the Lost Book......"
"Shut up!"
Mirko snapped at her.
He turned to the owl and asked, "What is this human imp .....?"
The owl coughed a few times: "She is my retinue." β
Qiu Yue squinted at him, and scolded in her heart: Who is your entourage!
Mirko turned his head and glared at him sternly, "Listen, human imp. The guy who stole the Lost Book and the tragedy that caused this castle was not Jerry, but an acolyte named Paul, who ruined everything I had built for decades. If you find him, you must cut him with a thousand cuts. β
"Jerry is one of those who fell into the trap. He was not guilty of the first sin. But living crimes are inevitable, capital crimes are inevitable, and he must be held accountable for his actions. Mirko said to the owl, "If you help me get rid of him, you will be the new guerrilla leader." β
"Let's go, lead the way."
