《The Riddler's Handbook: "Lorem Ipsum"》What's in the Box?
Advertisement
After waiting for the ice to melt, the Knight was finally able to open the pakage.
"Should I even open something sent by Jester?" He mumbled to himself. After a couple tugs, the lid finally opened. "A mouse!" He exclaimed as he picked it up.
"It's still alive after being frozen? Must be Magician's work...Still have I seen this before?" He asked himself while gently picking up the mouse.
"Brown fur... huge eyes... only 4 whiskers? It stands on 2 legs? Ah I remember now!" He exclaimed while tossing it down and slamming the lid back on.
"This mouse is the one His Majesty was talking about!" He eyed the box suspciously and recalled the details the King warned him about.
Earlier......
"This speices of mice," the King said, "Is very well known for it's cuteness but is feared for it's reproductive abilities. Do you know Earl Benson? He's our court's magician remember? Learn the names of my court Knight. Anyways, He placed 2 mice in a large cage and by the next month 8 mice were in the cage. A month after that, 64 mice were the cage. He noted that every month the number of mice increases by a certain rate. He hypothesized that their reproductive rate is even faster than goblins! Eventually, he ran out of cages after half a year and released the mice. Many mice were sickly because the basement was overcrowded so in reality, not many were released successfully. He is restarting the experiment but this time using a field instead of a basement. Remember Knight if...."
*BANG*
"He he he he Your majesty! I just thought of a riddle and I am sure you will enjoy it," the jester giggled.
"I will tell you later," sighed the King as he turned his attention to the jester.
Back in the present.....
"I don't know what His Majesty wanted me to remember but you look harmless enough." The Knight said to the mouse. "Alright, I'll keep you." He declared. He grabed a cage used to hold chickens and placed the mouse inside. He estimated that 14 mice could live comfotably in this chicken cage and he could always buy more if they exceeded that amount. After one year, how many cages would the knight need?

In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.
