Chapter 20 The legend of the magician first spread

Hearing Rhine's request, not only the king was confused, but even the 12 witches who were proficient in magic were also confused.

Is it some kind of ritual to define a multi-part title and have others recite it?

But it seems that this kind of story about chanting the name to make your wish come true does have a somewhat mysterious charm.

"Of course it's no problem, it's easy. Your Excellency Rhine, everything is as you wish."

His Majesty the King did not refuse this request.

It couldn't be easier for him!

Rhine smiled and thanked the king.

This is also a way of using the power of prophecy that he invented. The inspiration naturally comes from novels.

"Unlike other magicians in this world, I have many novel ideas from another world and another era. As I realize my wishes and receive more and more supernatural rewards, those elements come from earth's entertainment works. , can be copied one by one. ”

Thinking of this, Rhine couldn't help but look forward to it.

After the battle with the black witch, Rhine deeply realized that he still had a long way to go compared to the truly powerful magicians in the world.

……

That night, the king's soldiers rushed into the old craftsman's residence. They were ordered to capture the counterfeit craftsman and hang him!

However, when they opened the door, they found that the old craftsman had hanged himself from the beam.

After learning about the tragic situation at the banquet, the old craftsman committed suicide out of fear of crime!

The old craftsman left a suicide note asking for mercy from the king and the sage Lord Rhine to let them spare his family, including his wife and his brother Oz, who worked in the circus.

……

In the blink of an eye, several weeks have passed since the battle in the palace.

The version of this incident that circulated in the public became the following:

The notorious black witch, Maleficent, was invited to attend the christening ceremony of Her Royal Highness the Princess. However, she suddenly went crazy at the banquet and attacked the king's guard, causing many casualties.

Fortunately, Lord Rhine, the palace's magical advisor, the sage of the kingdom, and the great magician, had great powers and protected the king and queen safely. The court magician also led 12 witches to turn the tide and defeat Maleficent.

Now, the dark witch Maleficent is suspected to have fled to another country.

As for the key fact that "the witch cursed the little princess and even the entire kingdom", it was deliberately hidden.

The sun still rises.

No one knew that the shadow of death had already shrouded the sky across the entire kingdom.

During this time, another magical legend began to spread among taverns and campfires.

"Have you heard? The story about the wish-granting magician? Is it true?"

"Come on, Jerry, you're not a three-year-old anymore. How could this kind of fairy tale be true?"

"But I heard someone say that the magician in the story who can grant people's wishes is the great magician Lord Rhine who once treated thousands of patients in the south and later became the sage of the kingdom!"

"It's normal that the story is based on a real person. Moreover, as a distinguished court magician, how can Lord Rhine listen to the wishes of common people like us?"

There are many different versions of the legend, but they all involve a mysterious magician boy who can grant people's wishes.

And almost every circulating version will mention a strange name.

It is said that a hungry and cold child recited the corresponding name and made a wish when she fell into despair. Soon after, a colorful bird brought her bread and water.

After several instances of its fulfillment, the legend spread rapidly and became a pillow story for many children, and even tended to spread outside the kingdom.

But most people who just make wishes with a "try it" attitude fail to witness any miracles.

Some people doubt the authenticity of the legend, while others believe that only a particularly sincere wish has a small chance of being answered.

.........During this period, Ozzy was not in good condition.

The circus's balloonist and signature magician was in a constant state of fear and confusion.

"Oz, are you in big trouble? I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?"

A colleague in the circus comforted the gray-faced Oz.

"No, no. Leave me alone."

Oz waved his hand and pushed his colleague away.

Only Oz knows that he cannot mention his fears to outsiders!

A few days ago, his brother, the old craftsman who had served the court for many years, committed suicide because he had adulterated the gold plate.

What's even more frightening is that, according to the rumors that Oz inquired about, "adulteration of the gold plate" seems to be the reason why the dark witch Maleficent suddenly launched an attack at the princess's christening ceremony!

"It's over, it's over. It was my brother who provoked the black witch, which led to this disaster."

"What's even more terrifying is that my brother seemed to have the idea of ​​making a lie because of my unintentional teasing!"

"If His Majesty the King finds out that this matter is related to me, I will definitely die!"

"No, even if His Majesty doesn't find out, he might still be angry with me."

The more Oz thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was trembling and on the verge of crying.

"Mr. Oz, although I don't know what big trouble you are in, I have a suggestion - you can try it and make a wish to the magician in the recent legend. Legend has it that only a particularly strong wish can be granted. Come true. In your current state, maybe your wish will be effective.”

The colleague who was sent away just now ran back again at some point, stuck his head out of the door frame, and suggested.

"Make a wish to the legendary magician?"

Oz was stunned, his eyes glowing slightly.

He has also recently heard the legend of the "magician who grants wishes".

It doesn’t cost any money anyway, why not give it a try?

But the next second, Oz gave up this idea.

Are you kidding me?

The prototype of this legend is said to be Rhine, the only sage in the kingdom, the king's advisor, and the great court magician.

I have offended the king and prayed to Lord Rhine, the king's advisor and court magician. How unthinkable was it?

If this great magician could really hear my prayers remotely and not drop a thunderbolt to kill me, it would be a mercy!

Oz's heart was filled with despair, his expression was gloomy, and his face was filled with gloom and gloom.

……

As the saying goes, you have something to think about every day and something to dream about at night.

That night, Ozzy didn't sleep well at all.

He dreamed that the king's soldiers were coming to arrest him, and that he would be sentenced to death by hanging.

In the terrifying nightmare, Oz, who was frightened and crying, read out the name in the legendary story with the attitude of "treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor":

"The sage from beyond the world, the prophet who knows the future, the wizard of miracles and wishes..."

"Please, I want to live and escape this kingdom safely!"

When Oz in the dream uttered these contents, Oz in the real world also uttered the same dream.

On the road in the distance.

After packing his things and leaving the palace with the little princess Aurora, Rhine heard distant calls for prayers on the bumpy carriage.
