Chapter 5 A mixed fairy tale world? !
The hooded young man was flipping through the many documents on the table.
Move your fingertips on the world map to connect the content of the document with the countries on the map.
In this era of backward productivity, the map is extremely crude, the picture is a mess, the scale is a mess, and there are a lot of imaginary areas!
But with enough documents and records, it is not impossible to read...
When he first started browsing the documents at hand, Rhine looked calm and had a smile on his lips.
But.
Read and read.
The little magician’s smile gradually solidified, and his expression became more solemn.
Arrived at the back, Rhine’s hand holding the book couldn’t help trembling, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Why is this so?"
Rhine originally thought that he had traveled through time in the story of "Sleeping Beauty".
Beyond the kingdom, it’s not too special, it’s just an ordinary western fantasy world.
But after understanding the general situation of the mainland, he realized that this was not the case at all!
The known range of this fantasy world is a continent.
There are many countries in the west, and many small kingdoms are dotted here and there.
The kingdom of Sleeping Beauty, where Rhine is located, is just an ordinary kingdom among hundreds of kingdoms.
The culture in the eastern region is similar to the Arab cultural circle of the earth.
As for the further Far East, the records in palace documents are very vague.
It was only vaguely mentioned that in the far east, there was a prosperous empire with a mysterious and magnificent culture.
Why does it sound so familiar... The corners of Rhine's mouth twitched slightly.
What really surprised Rhine was the many details of the world that were mixed with folklore and real records:
“According to research, there are giant castles built on some thick white clouds... "
"In the vast ocean, there live mermaids..."
"An adventurer who traveled around the world claimed that he had fallen into a tree hole and accidentally stepped into a bizarre country. …”
"A traveler from the deserts of the Middle East spoke of the extraordinary things of his country - he spoke of flying carpets, giant eagles, and giant monsters trapped in vessels promising to grant wishes to mortals..."
"The old man from the far eastern country said that in their empire, there are immortals living in the mountains, and the speed of time in the immortal cave is different from that in the outside world..."
What kind of suture world have I traveled to!
Rhine couldn't help but complained bitterly in his heart. One familiar story title after another poured out of my mind.
"Jack and the Pea", "The Daughter of the Sea", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Fisherman and the Devil", "Aladdin's Lamp"...
"I don't know what era we are in now."
“Have those familiar stories from past lives become history? Or are they just like sleeping? The story of Beauty has not begun yet?”
“The earlier the age, the more room I have to play!”
“Wait until the problem of little Princess Aurora is solved! , when you become a more powerful magician, you must go outside the kingdom to see!”
Rhine made up his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the magic book on the table.
"Book of Transformation and Summoning"
Rhine couldn't wait to open the yellowed pages.
What comes into view are obscure and weird words and symbols.
According to the king, this collection of books was inherited hundreds of years ago.
Legend has it that only those who know magic can understand the words in the book!
Because no real magician can be found to be the owner of the book, such a magic book that contains a priceless treasure can only be abandoned for a long time and sealed in the depths of the library forever.
After discovering that the witches in the kingdom seemed to be interested in the book, the old king proposed to the 12 witches to "use the magic book in exchange for any one of them to serve as a palace consultant for a few years", but was rejected.
Obviously, this book has a certain appeal to witches with great magical powers.
But it is not enough for them to lower their noble heads and serve the royal power.
It was the cruel experience of being ruthlessly rejected that made the old king be more cautious when inviting Rhine to become a palace consultant, and gave the most generous conditions from the beginning!
The first second he opened the book, Rhine was immediately sure that the legend was absolutely true.
As a true magician, he automatically understood every weird and twisted text in the book!
After flipping through it quickly, Rhine excitedly discovered that the content recorded in this book was exactly what he wanted!
Rhine's magic is automatically acquired after time travel. Without a mentor, his knowledge of occult and supernatural aspects is quite lacking.
This book records a lot of basic knowledge about magic, which just makes up for his shortcomings!
Not only that, the book also records a variety of practical magic.
“Those 12 witches must be more powerful than me now, but they were unwilling to become the kingdom’s advisors, so they failed to take this book!”
Reading the book in my hands eagerly The magic book, the smile on the silver-haired boy's mouth became brighter.
There will be more in the evening, two chapters every day (very short)
