Chapter XXIV
Belch...... The renegade pleaded with tears in his eyes because of his reluctance to the old boss, or because the new boss was treating me too badly? Either way, we're now in a tangled mess. Hearing Aiola calling out to me, I went into the depths of the treasure vault and came to an iron cage with a scarred crow in the cage.
"Aha...... It's you! The crow ghost woman looked at me with excited and excited eyes, but my feelings were quite embarrassing - it was not a happy thing to be known by a crow ghost woman who had never known her life, and it was not clear if she was now down like this or the result of my inadvertent "vibration of wings".
"Do you know me?"
"The last banquet was all because of you, and I messed up!"
The crow ghost rebuked me angrily, and it seemed that I had done the harm. Last banquet? I guess it was the night I was kidnapped by King Didra and rescued Flotra. Delphine caught the attention of the party attendees from the other side, and I took advantage of the chaos to rescue Flora and escape.
"That's right, I did make a big difference in messing up that party. But now that you've become a prisoner, do you still have the kung fu to complain about me? ”
"Ahem......"
Hearing my taunt, the crow ghost woman coughed angrily, and Aiola quickly beat her back. The crow ghost woman slowed down and continued to speak to count me.
"Do you know what that banquet means? I messed up the banquet and lost the trust of the host ever since! Now even my palace has been usurped! ”
"Is that the one named Petra?"
"That's her!" Hearing the name of her enemy, the crow ghost woman named Mekar looked weak, gritted her teeth, danced with her hands, and cursed excitedly, "I will bite off her neck and gouge out her eyes!" ”
The Raven Ghost Woman was immersed in hysteria, and I shook my head helplessly and asked Aiola beside me, who was comforting the Crow Ghost Woman who was being held inside through the iron bars of the cage.
"Iola, what do you think?"
"I feel we should help Lady Mecar," Aiola lowered her voice and handed her insights to me, "After rescuing Lady Mekar and retaking this palace, Lady Mekar will thank us and thus give us many favors." The temple is within reach, and we can even borrow her strength to clear all obstacles in our way! ”
"That's right, but with her current state and appearance, how likely do you think she will be able to succeed in counterattacking?"
"Absolutely!" Hearing my distrustful question, the oathbreaker beside me spoke, "We prefer to follow our old master!" Overthrow the tyranny of Petra! ”
"And what were you doing when this palace was usurped by Petra?"
"We ......," replied the apostander with a dejected and remorseful look at my questioning, "there is nothing we can do, Petra is strong, she easily defeated Lady Mekar, and we can only acquiesce in her usurpation." ”
Easily defeated Melca? The Raven Ghost Woman is already a powerful creature, and on top of that, I don't have enough confidence to fight against her, so I have to refuse.
"You are no ordinary people, and with the help of the two of you, we can definitely kick Petra off the throne she usurped!"
The avoidant wants to continue pleading with me, but I don't bother with him anymore. Originally, I lacked enthusiasm for participating in the civil war of the crow ghost woman, but now that I know that the other party's strength is very strong, there is no need for me to wade into this muddy water and die. But Aiola seems to have an old crow ghost, and I have to find a way to convince her too.
"Aiola, you should know more about the circle of crows and ghosts. Do you think we should help her recover the palace, or should we act as if nothing happened? As you can imagine, with us, a frail old man, and a bunch of cannon fodder we can't count on, our odds are very low......"
"Help me! This is the best choice for you! Before I could finish the reasoning, the caged ghost woman suddenly stood up, poked her head into the gap, grabbed the iron bars of the cage with both hands and shouted at me, "I know that you are afraid of her." But you don't need to be afraid at all, she has only a dead end in front of you! ”
"This ...... Although I don't know what information you based on this ridiculous conclusion, the stronger combat power on our side should be on Iola, right? And ......," I said, holding out my hand to stop the Raven Devil from trying to argue again, continued, "and just because I'm capable of doing something doesn't mean I have to do something!" ”
"Nope! No! No! The crow ghost woman laughed angrily, and her tone became a little softer, "You're right! But you only have this one option! A discreditless old woman who usurped power, do you think that after coming to the castle with such a precious sacrifice, she will be able to get rid of her ambition unharmed? ”
The crow's laughter was sharp and piercing, but I couldn't feel disgusted at this time. What she said also made sense, I was in a dilemma, either take the initiative to find death, or be yin in my back.
The solution...... There are two, one is to kill Petra, the current owner of the palace, and the other is to bet that Petra will not forcibly attack Flotra for the sake of everyone who is also a believer in Didra. Do you believe in yourself with limited abilities or believe in a crow ghost woman who may harbor evil intentions? I'd rather go with the former.
"Aiola, what do you think of the odds?"
"Since Lady Mekar has prophesied that you will be able to defeat Petra, then you will be able to do it!" Aiola looked confident, and there was no suspense in her eyes about the outcome of this conflict.
"That's right, Lady Mecal is a well-known prophet of Rich, otherwise we wouldn't have gathered under her name! She said okay, you can do it! The oathbreakers on the side echoed in to show their presence.
Okay, now that you've made up your mind, let's go for it. Hopefully, as Mecal's prophecy goes, "She will die before me," I will be able to defeat Petra in some unthinkable way. For example, Petra happened to come to the eldest aunt today, and the "full attribute" dropped by 90 percent...... Stop, does the crow ghost woman have this thing?
Don't think about these egg pains just yet, let's get this guy out of the cage first.
