SECRET N° 321 The Shell Wars 05

Chapitre 5 : La Conspiration du Noyer Noir

(Où des taupes en toge complotent, un hibou parle en haïku, et un espion se cache dans une théière.)

L’OMBRE DES CONSEILS SECRETS
Alors que la forêt entière retenait son souffle (et surtout ses narines, après la bataille fromagère), dans les profondeurs du vieux Noyer Noir, un conseil très discret se réunissait…

Les Taupes de l’Ordre de l’Œil Clos, taupes aveugles mais visiblement au courant de tout, s’alignaient autour d’une table taillée dans une racine fossile.

Leur chef, Grand-Maître Creuse-Fouille, tapa de sa canne :

— “Mes frères. La guerre éclate. Il est temps de sortir… la Loupe.”

Un frisson parcourut la salle. La Loupe. L’antique artefact capable de lire les plus petits caractères des traités de paix. Ou de brûler une feuille sèche à vingt mètres.

Une taupe murmura :

— “Et si… on restait planqués ?”

— “Trop tard. Les Sphinx-Chats sont déjà au courant.”

Silence. Puis panique. Et des hurlements en braille.

UN HIBOU ET UN PLAN
Pendant ce temps, perché sur une branche de l’Arbre-Monde, Maître Hululith, le vieux hibou stratège, rédigeait ses ordres en haïku sur des feuilles de hêtre :

“Trop d’odeur de brie
La paix sent le champignon
Parlez aux serpents.”

Il convoqua une réunion avec ses agents : des corbeaux ninjas, une belette déguisée en branche, et Charly, un caméléon paranoïaque persuadé d’être suivi par une fougère.

— “Nous devons infiltrer la Coquille. Trouvez leur point faible. Peut-être leur comptable.”

Charly, camouflé en tasse de thé, répondit :

— “Ils ont… un problème de facturation. Des noisettes en double…”

— “Parfait. Une brèche administrative. C’est là qu’on s’engouffre.”

CASTAGNOR DOUTE… ET REÇOIT UNE VISITE
Dans son quartier général (un tronc aménagé avec goût), Castagnor mangeait une soupe de glands, l’air sombre.

— “Ils ont des roqueforts volants. Des putois fous. Et nous, on a Jean-Rasoir…”

Au même moment, une silhouette encapuchonnée entra discrètement. C’était Belladone, espionne belette, ex-amante de Castagnor et actuelle responsable des relations troubles avec les reptiles.

— “Salut, vieux gland.”

— “Belladone ? Par toutes les feuilles mortes !”

Elle jeta sur la table un rouleau de parchemin gluant.

— “Les serpents se préparent à bouger. Ils ont un plan. Et une recette de soupe au crapaud.”

— “Ça sent l’embuscade.”

— “Non, c’est le parchemin. Je l’ai trouvé dans un marécage.”

UN ESPION NOMMÉ BEIGEBLATT
Pendant ce temps, infiltré dans le camp des skunks, un espion tamarin beige, connu sous le nom de Beigeblatt, récoltait des informations en se faisant passer pour un coussin d’appoint.

Il avait entendu Pestorius dire :

— “Demain, nous marchons vers la Grande Claireière. Pour y installer notre frigo géant.”

Et plus loin :

— “Et je veux une catapulte à camembert. Double portée.”

Beigeblatt griffonna ses notes sur du papier toilette recyclé, puis s’enfuit dans un sac de linge sale.

FIN DU CHAPITRE : UNE TENSION QUI MONTE
Alors que le jour déclinait, dans toutes les clairières et sous-bois, on sentait l’approche d’un grand bouleversement.

Les taupes murmuraient.

Les hiboux haïkutaient.

Les beignets de vers se faisaient rares.

Et quelque part, Jean-Rasoir aiguisait une fourchette en chantant “Pyro Pyro Petite Flamme”.

Chapter 5: The Black Walnut Conspiracy

(Where moles in robes plot, an owl speaks in haiku, and a spy hides in a teapot.)

THE SHADOW OF SECRET COUNCILS
While the whole forest held its breath (and especially its nose after the cheesy battle), deep inside the ancient Black Walnut Tree, a very secret council was taking place…

The Moles of the Closed Eye Order—blind, but somehow always in the know—lined up around a table carved from fossilized root.

Their leader, Grandmaster Deep-Digger, tapped his cane:

— “Brothers. War is upon us. It is time… to bring out the Magnifier.”

A shiver ran down every spine. The Magnifier. The ancient artifact capable of reading the tiniest font in peace treaties… or setting dry leaves on fire from twenty meters away.

A mole whispered:

— “What if… we just stayed hidden?”

— “Too late. The Sphinx-Cats already know.”

Silence. Then panic. And screaming… in braille.

AN OWL AND A PLAN
Meanwhile, perched atop the World Tree, Master Hululith, the wise owl strategist, scribbled orders in haiku form on beech leaves:

“Too much smell of brie
Peace reeks of moldy fungus
Speak now to the snakes.”

He summoned his agents: ninja crows, a stoat disguised as a twig, and Charly, a paranoid chameleon convinced a fern was stalking him.

— “We must infiltrate the Shell Brigade. Find their weak spot. Maybe their accountant.”

Charly, camouflaged as a teacup, replied:

— “They have… invoicing problems. Double-billed acorns…”

— “Perfect. A bureaucratic crack. That’s how we slip in.”

CASTAGNOR DOUBTS… AND RECEIVES A VISIT
Back at HQ (a tastefully renovated log), Castagnor brooded over a bowl of acorn soup.

— “They’ve got flying roqueforts. Insane skunks. And we’ve got Jean-Rasoir…”

Just then, a hooded figure slipped through the door. It was Belladonna, stoat spy, Castagnor’s ex-lover, and current head of shady reptile relations.

— “Hey there, old nut.”

— “Belladonna? By all the fallen leaves!”

She threw a sticky scroll on the table.

— “The snakes are on the move. They’ve got a plan. And a toad soup recipe.”

— “Sounds like an ambush.”

— “No, that’s just the scroll. I found it in a swamp.”

A SPY NAMED BEIGEBLATT
Meanwhile, deep inside the skunk camp, a beige tamarin spy named Beigeblatt posed as a decorative pillow to gather intel.

He overheard Pestorius grumble:

— “Tomorrow, we march to the Great Clearing. To install our giant fridge.”

And later:

— “And I want a double-range camembert catapult. Non-negotiable.”

Beigeblatt scribbled notes on recycled toilet paper, then escaped inside a laundry sack.

CHAPTER END: RISING TENSION
As the sun dipped behind the tree line, a sense of change hung heavy over the forest.

The moles whispered.

The owls haiku-ed.

The worm-donuts were running low.

And somewhere, Jean-Rasoir was sharpening a fork while singing, “Pyro Pyro Little Flame.”
