Alien world

Chapter 1140 Chapter 62. Mirror of the Sky
The most urgent task is to find where the "upside-down place" that was predicted is.

Annan thought that the descriptions of "mushrooms blooming, flowers bearing fruit, and vines growing in clusters" were conspicuous enough, but still no elf knew where this was...

"There is no such place in Evanath," said Elder Seran.

"It seems to be another place that humans know about but the elves don't."

The most urgent thing was to find a Paem person...Annan first thought of Prince Aidan. Asking him to help could also clear some suspicion.

But... Annan couldn't be sure whether Prince Aidan would choose to cover up after knowing that the murderer was from the kingdom.

If it was just a trouble in the royal court, Annan wouldn't mind asking Prince Aidan for help, but now that Irilanze was missing, he didn't want to take any risks.

Annan said, "I have an outside helper, but I have to go back to the Messenger Village first."

"The human prince?"

"No, it's a 'friend' who just helped me."

The Rat King is not a Paem Rat, or even a Wilhelm Rat, but it has rats.

Although I don’t know why the royal court allows its rats to run around, but since it has so many spies... the Rat King should know something.

Now that they had a clue, the elves rushed to the Messenger Village without stopping.

Annan played Kael'thas and followed the team of the Night Elf, not attracting attention. When passing by the residence of himself and Prince Aidan, Annan glanced at it inadvertently.

It's quite novel to see your own residence from someone else's perspective, especially when you see Skeleton King looking over here.

It was like Cathy sneaking out of school and standing outside on the street watching her classmates on the playground.

Because of his size, the Rat King lives in the largest wooden house in the Messenger Village.

It sat in a mountain of fruit, with the mixed juice of the crushed fruits flowing beneath its body, and enjoyed the service of its servant rat.

The elves expressed disgust at this dirty and ugly scene, but Annan alone remained indifferent.

"Thank you for your help earlier, Rat King." He said in the Rat language.

"It's too stuffy here." The Rat King's muttering was like thunder in the barn-like house. "You need to find the murderer quickly."

"I will... I just happen to need your help with something."

Annan told the Rat King the preview directly: "Mushrooms are blooming, flowers are bearing fruit, vines are growing in clusters... The elves don't know where this is. Do you have any clues?"

"Um……"

The Rat King pondered for a moment, and even when his servant rat brought fruit to his mouth, he did not open his mouth.

"There is a place..." It opened its mouth and chewed the fruit beside it, with juice flowing out. "There, the ground is the sky, and there are clouds everywhere..."

"Mirror of the Sky." Elder Seran suppressed his disgust. "There is a mirror-like lake and cloud-like mist, but there are no mushrooms blooming or flowers bearing fruit..."

"Indeed not, but the things are the same, just the other way around."

Annan suddenly woke up and wanted to call the Rat King a wise man.

The size of the Rat King is not in vain... The bigger the body, the bigger the brain. The bigger the brain, the smarter it is.

Although the ogre had something to say about Annan's reasoning, Elder Seran could not refute it.

Annan turned around and said, "Let's split up. You go and pretend to ask Prince Aidan, and I'll take people to the Sky Mirror."

"me and you togather."

"No. The attackers are arrogant enough to tease you with a warning, which shows that they are confident. Maybe we have been in their sight all along, and they will become suspicious if you disappear." Elder Seran nodded and said to the female elf: "Fiona, protect Kael'thas with your life."

"I will." The female elf gripped the wooden bow tightly.

"We'll go out the back door."

Annan said, and a four-man team consisting of Fiona, an elf captain and an elf wizard came to the back door, used the power of nature to sneak out of the Messenger Village, and quickly rushed to the Sky Mirror.

The Verdant City is very large. After all, there are millions of elves living here. However, because it is a real "forest city", the elves live in three-dimensional trees and there are very few elves on the streets.

The Elf Ranger named Fiona was in charge of planning the route, and she was the most agile and nimble, and when they reached the outskirts of the Verdant City, she confidently stated that no elves had spotted them along the way.

However, at the edge of the Sky Mirror, the forest gradually became sparse, replaced by a tranquil lake in the distance.

Annan was sent to the dark night in the evening and escaped after dozens of minutes. It was still a few hours before midnight.

The starry sky outside the canopy of the World Tree fell on the lake without any obstruction, and even the clouds were clearly reflected on it. Some deer and elves were playing and chasing on the lake, like a fairyland.

The attacker's attempt to detonate the Sky Mirror was an outright evil act...

Not to mention that the elves couldn't accept it, Annan also didn't want such a beautiful place to be destroyed.

Annan and the three elves explained: "Murderers usually stay near the crime scene. And murderers who make warning behaviors will admire their masterpieces from a close distance. I will go to the lake to attract his attention in a while, and you will find a way to find him... I will call someone to help you."

Destroying the Sky Mirror is a good idea. What could be more likely to arouse the wrath of the royal court than destroying the landscape of the Verdant City one after another?
But at the same time, this was also a trap the attacker set for himself.

The Sky Mirror has an unobstructed view of all directions. If you want to see the beautiful scenery clearly, you can only stay by the lake.

Annan activated one of the amulets and a magic circle quickly appeared.

"what's up."

Mr. Swarlow, wearing a professor's robe and holding a teaching stick in his hand, had a blank expression on his face.

"Are you still in class so late?" Annan was stunned.

"It's just evening in Liberty City," said Mr. Swarlow.

After a brief moment of regret at not being able to see Mr. Swarlow in his nightgown, Annan quickly explained the situation: "I am now approaching the center of the lake to look for clues. You and the others should observe any existence approaching the lakeside during this time."

"I'll come with you," Fiona said.

"Need not."

"Elder Seran asked me to protect you." Fiona was persistent.

"Ok."

Annan agreed to her under Mr. Swarlow's increasingly unfriendly look and walked to the lake with Fiona.

The Sky Mirror consists of only a thin layer of lake water, with unknown light-colored crystals underneath.

Annan and Fiona walked on it, with the bright moon, starry sky and clouds under their feet, as if they were walking on the clouds.

The herd of deer in the distance looked at the intruder here curiously. One of the deer was attracted by the breath of nature. It walked over on the ripples, arched against Annan's chest, and tried to find the branches of the ancient tree of wisdom. Annan smiled and gently pushed it away.

Fiona went over and asked the elf if there had been any suspicious-looking people before.

They surrounded Annan and Fiona, making pleasant and crisp sounds like wind chimes.

Annan didn't understand, and neither did Fiona. The elf became more and more anxious, holding Annan's hand and leading him to the center of the lake.
