Chapter 63: Conditions for joining the Witches’ Guild
Aurora said this, but she was not worried that anyone in Ender's mission would recognize her.
When fighting the German invaders, she wore a helmet and a mask, and had the witches add some illusion disguises to herself.
What Aurora is worried about is: Rhine's identity has now been made public.
Many people in the palace have heard that the fortune teller recruited by the king is a magician from the northern Kingdom of Rose!
As a sage of the Rose Kingdom and a well-known magician who had fought against the German invaders, he might have aroused the hostility of the bandit country's envoys.
"There's no need. We're not afraid of them." Rhine shrugged.
"I think so too!" Aurora agreed with the teacher, raising her fist and waving it hard in the air a few times, "If they cause trouble for us, we will fight back!"
The two then walked back to the luxurious room that Prince Eric had arranged for them.
Sitting on the soft bed, Rhine put his hands in his pockets and inspected what he had just harvested.
The heavy hard object in the large pocket is the reward for realizing the prince's wish.
It was a small bottle of pink perfume.
Looking at the magic props made from this bottle of wish power on the table, Rhine couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts:
"It turns out that after realizing the wish of the Child of Destiny, the reward you get may still be physical. How many secrets does my [Wish Magician] talent hide that I don't know about?"
"According to the knowledge that came to my mind after I realized my wish, anyone who drops a little bit of this perfume will not appear as they are in the eyes of others, but will look like the person they love most."
"Whether it is temperament, manners or voice, it will be modified in the mind of the observer, and it will be the same as that of the loved one."
"For example, if I put a drop of it on myself, in the eyes of the current Prince Eric, he will look like Ariel, and in the eyes of the king of the West Asian Kingdom, he will probably look like the queen... Uh, no, the person the king really loves Not necessarily the queen, they are just based on political marriage.”
"So, this perfume also has the function of 'detecting who the true love of someone's heart is'!"
"What if there is no one to love? Will the perfume lose its effectiveness?"
"Reminds me of a certain Foundation containment object. But it also looks like a prop in a fantasy fairy tale world."
"If the scene is suitable, it will definitely work!"
"What name should I choose? This is the part I am least good at."
Rhine told Aurora about the function of this bottle of perfume and asked for her opinion on the name.
Aurora didn't ask Rhine where the bottle of magic perfume came from. In her opinion, it was normal for a magician to always be able to take out strange props.
After listening to Rhine's introduction, Aurora did not directly name the magic perfume, but sighed:
"What a magical magic prop!
"It's almost like: Prince Eric, the mermaid princess Ariel, and the human girl who awakened the prince on the shore. These three people are the embodiment of twisted love and destiny."
Rhine's heart moved:
Indeed.
The reward for realizing your wish this time is like turning that twisted destiny into reality!
"Blurred memories, loving the wrong person, recognizing the wrong face, the mockery of fate, a substitute for love." Rhine said to himself as he stared at the small pink bottle, which was not much bigger than his thumb.
He recalled their tortuous love story. Prince Eric mistakenly regarded the human girl who awakened him-Rhine knew that he happened to be the princess of Ender, and regarded him as the only person who saved him, forgetting Ariel; but he regarded Ariel as the human girl who awakened him. Substitute.
"Let's call this bottle of perfume [Wrong Love]." Rhine said.
Its name was decided.
Leaning on the sofa, the little magician's thoughts wandered:
"It seems that there is still a lot to be studied about the talent of [Wish Magician]!"
"The only thing that is certain is that the reward obtained may be related to the content of the wish, or it may be related to the person who made the wish."
"So far, I have only fulfilled the wishes of five or six Destiny Children. The sample is still too small! Alas, it is a pity that Ariel's relatives do not seem to be the Destiny Children."
While thinking about it, Rhine took out the memory bubble that the previous sea witch gave them - it contained many of the sea witch's memories of Maleficent.
On the first day they obtained this memory bubble, Rhine and Aurora read it carefully.
"Although, theoretically, this memory only contains personal information about the Black Witch Maleficent, and does not contain information about the witch coven. But it can also be vaguely inferred from the conversation between the Sea Hag and Maleficent. Get some information about that witch coven," Rhine thought.
It can be inferred from various words and phrases that the sea hag is a marginal member of the entire witch group and the one with the least sense of existence.
One of the very important pieces of information is what the black witch Maleficent once said to the sea hag:
"Remember, Sea Witch, you are always an unqualified member. We can kick you out at any time if we want!
"According to the rules, if you want to join us, you must first destroy or control a kingdom! Just like I have destroyed dozens of kingdoms.
"You have never completed this recruitment task, but you only relied on providing some useful potion formulas to make a few of us reluctantly recognize your value, and we have retained your qualifications until now."
To join this group of witches, you must first destroy or take control of a kingdom!
Rhine deeply realized that, except for the sea hag, every other member of this witch coven must be extraordinary!
"Unfortunately, there are too many kingdoms, large and small, in the Western Continent. Moreover, some members of this assembly may have lived a very long life, and they may have joined the assembly hundreds or even thousands of years ago. It is impossible to determine with this clue alone. Specific members of the assembly ”
At this time, Aurora stared out the window at the stars, and became worried about her mermaid friend again.
"By the way, teacher, can you use magic to see what's going on at Prince Eric and Ariel's banquet?" Aurora said, "I feel weird when I think of them hosting bandits from End Germany. ”
"Of course."
Rhine smiled and put the crystal ball on the table, placed Ariel's fish scales in front of the crystal ball, and started divination.
After a while, dots of starlight emerged from the crystal ball, like the vast universe.
The starlight circulated and gathered into a specific colorful picture. This is the main hall of the palace of the Kingdom of West Asia.
The king, Prince Eric, the little mermaid Ariel, Ender's envoys, princes and ministers... images appeared in the crystal ball one after another.
