Chapter 12 Your Excellency Rhine has another chance to bless you!
Rhine pulled up his dusty cloak and walked slowly behind the king.
Although this is a familiar story.
But actually experiencing it personally and witnessing everyone's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy gave him a different feeling, which made the young man feel a little sad.
Compared with the more popular version of "Sleeping Beauty", the curse imposed by the black witch is much crueler. It will not only kill the little princess, but also bring the end of the entire kingdom.
The little princess's fingertip was pricked by the spindle and she died miserably. This was just a prelude to the curse coming true and disaster to come, and it was just the prelude to the grand ceremony of destruction.
But thinking about it, such a curse is reasonable.
According to the development of the original work, it was the 12th witch who took advantage of the last blessing opportunity to weaken the curse and change "death" to "sleep".
Even though the curse was weakened, after the little princess pricked her hand with a spindle, the magic of the curse still put the entire kingdom into sleep.
Later, the entire kingdom was filled with malicious thorns, thistles and vines, becoming a cursed place where travelers dare not set foot.
It was not until a hundred years later that the destined prince cut through the thorns, broke into the cursed land, kissed the Sleeping Beauty, and lifted the curse.
Since the weakened curse can make the entire kingdom sleep for hundreds of years, the original curse can certainly destroy the entire kingdom!
Is this magic?
Powerful magicians can bring shame to monarchs and collapse powerful kingdoms on a whim.
Will I also master such powerful magic in the future?
Rhine was quite emotional.
He had gone all out just now, but he did not pose any substantial threat to the black witch.
In fact, the black witch is clearly in the most tired state after just releasing a powerful curse!
If she were in her heyday, she could crush all of us to death in just a few seconds...
The dark witch Maleficent is indeed much more powerful than I am now. She is indeed a legendary witch who can easily destroy the kingdom... I don’t know how long she has lived. This gap is definitely not enough to help three or four fateful protagonists. What can be made up for... Rhine sighed softly.
The old king seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant, and there was no trace of color on his face.
He forced himself to stand up, looked at the 12 embarrassed witches behind him, and almost begged:
"Save my daughter and this kingdom!
"There are so many of you, you all have powerful magic!
"You must have a solution, right?
"You must be able to break this curse, right?"
The 12 witches looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"The black witch's magic is a hundred times more powerful than ours, and her spell cannot be broken by us..."
One of the witches spoke tremblingly, her voice getting lower and lower as she spoke, and finally she fell silent.
silence.
A deathly silence lingered in the palace, which was filled with flying dust, debris strewn on the ground, and a mess.
Whether it was the monarch of a country or the witches with superb magical powers, they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Suddenly, the Violet Fairy, the leader of the 12 witches, spoke and broke the silence!
"No, things can still turn around! We still have a way!"
The Violet Fairy looked at the silver-haired magician beside her who was wearing a pure white cloak and looked too young:
"We still have Mr. Rhine!
"The sage of the kingdom, the magician of the court, Your Excellency Rhine, has not yet given his blessing to the little princess." The king looked confused and seemed not to understand what the Violet Fairy meant.
When are you still thinking about blessings?
Princess Aurora will not live to be 15 years old!
The Violet Fairy became more and more excited as she talked:
"The curse was placed on Princess Aurora. When she pricked her finger on a spindle and lost her life, the disaster in this kingdom would begin!
"We can ask Mr. Rhine to offer blessings to the little princess to offset the magic of the curse!"
When the other 11 witches heard the Violet Fairy's speech, their eyes froze at the same time, as if they saw hope.
They understand the magical power of blessing better than the king!
"Yes, there is another way."
"I almost forgot, Lord Rhine is also an excellent magician."
"Although all 12 of us have given blessings, Your Excellency Rhine has not given blessings yet."
The original desperate atmosphere was suddenly diluted.
Whether it was the witch or the king, hope appeared in the original helpless look again.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lain.
The old king's eyes shone, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he hurriedly asked the Violet Fairy:
"So, as long as Lord Rhine offers Princess Aurora the blessing of 'curse removal', the curse of the black witch will disappear, right?"
At the same time, he stared closely at Rhine, who was bowing his head in thought.
The boy's short figure, leaning against the wall and meditating, cast a long shadow under the flickering light.
Minutes earlier, this seemingly soft child had turned the tide and saved everyone.
Now, he has once again become everyone's last hope.
The Violet Fairy shook her head:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
"Not even the power of blessing can remove the powerful curse of the Black Witch.
"Every powerful curse has only one way to break it.
"This curse can only be lifted by killing the Dark Witch. And Maleficent has just proved that she, even if we put them together, are too different from her."
A look of despair reoccupied the old king's aged face.
The Violet Fairy hurriedly said:
"However, the blessing of Rhine can weaken the curse! As long as we modify the wording of some curses, we can turn the destined disaster into a crisis that can be resolved!"
Rhine, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke:
"Yes. I have one more chance to give my blessing to Her Royal Highness.
"Fairy, what blessing do you think I should offer to resist this dark curse?"
