Chapter 85 The prince turns into a mermaid
Rhine's words were calm, yet exuding confidence that made people trust him unconditionally.
"Why? Rhine said nothing would happen to me? Why did you say it so quietly?" Ariel couldn't understand Rhine's words, but chose to believe it.
"Teacher!" An anxious Aurora looked at Rhine, "Now I am at a loss. Please help me!"
Rhine said calmly:
"At that time, when I was trying to see if I could successfully prepare a potion that would turn human legs into fish tails, I suddenly received a revelation of fate - fate is so unpredictable, and occasionally it will prompt something randomly..."
……
In the mirror world, inside the replica temple.
The music of celebration filled the air, and behind the bride and groom, many oil lamps emitted a warm light, like the stars at night.
Everyone looked at the prince and princess on the altar and sincerely blessed them.
——Today's wedding was too hasty, and many people who were supposed to witness the marriage of the prince and princess were not able to arrive in time. The people at the wedding were mainly the musicians who played the music, the temple priests who were responsible for presiding over the ceremony, and some noble guests who were brought in by the old witch to make up the number.
"Next, let the bridegroom and bride drink the celebratory wine," the priest announced.
Eric was still confused and had not yet recovered from the mental shock caused by losing his memory. He was acting almost on instinct. He poured the brown wine into the glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Wait a moment, Eric." The little princess suddenly discovered the problem and kindly reminded, "You seem to have brought the wrong wine."
"I took it by mistake..." The ignorant Prince Eric muttered this word,
He looked at the empty wine bottle on the table.
The bottle, which originally contained brown medicinal wine, was now completely empty.
Prince Eric didn't remember who gave him this wine, but as soon as he saw the bottle, he felt an inexplicable warmth and familiarity.
"If something happens to me, I should drink this wine..." Prince Eric instinctively thought so. It was this instinct that made him drink the medicinal wine.
Suddenly, Prince Eric failed to stand firm and stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"What happened to Prince Eric?"
Panic shouts rang out from the crowd.
Even the priest responsible for reciting the blessing turned pale with fear.
When he found that everyone was looking at him in surprise, the little princess from Ender also screamed in surprise and looked horrified. Prince Eric was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked under him.
His legs disappeared at some point, and his lower body turned into a fish tail!
He looks absolutely no different from the legendary mermaid.
"Monster, monster!"
"Merman? Why did Prince Eric become a mermaid?"
"Oh my god, what happened?"
The musicians stopped playing, the best man and bridesmaid hid in the corner, and people looked at Prince Eric who had turned into a monster with fear.
Only the little princess of Ende still stood there, her eyes frightened but still as gentle as before:
"Eric, what's wrong with you? You... must be hiding some secret, right?"
Prince Eric trembled and grasped his fish tail with both hands, feeling the smoothness of the fish scales and the touch of his hands when they touched the fish tail - which convinced him that it was his own tail.
He just stared at the beautiful fish tail, completely stunned. It wasn't until his vision became blurred and the world seemed to be filled with a hazy fog that Prince Eric realized that his eyes were filled with tears at some point.
He remembered!
He remembered it all!
In the past, people on earth also viewed that girl and her kind in the same way, right?
Prince Eric thought of another girl with the same fish tail, and he recalled what he had seen in the crystal ball - the girl walked around the cracked bed planks and masts, completely ignoring the risk that she would also be hit. Saved him from the wild waves; I thought of that What consciousness did the girl have when she swam into the coral forest and asked for the magic potion from the Sea Witch? Thinking of the girl's hand she was holding, walking in the corridor of the palace, every passerby praised her. I have never seen such a light posture, because the legs are exactly what the fish tail has become.
All the forgotten memories came back.
Because those memories are not traces on the beach, which will disappear after the ebb and flow of the tide, but the bitterness and joy engraved on the hard rock, which can only be covered up, but cannot be erased!
"Ariel, my Ariel!"
Prince Eric screamed uncontrollably.
"Where is Ariel? Where am I? Why am I here?"
Confused and frightened, he looked left and right.
Disorienting memories of the past hour or so came flooding back - mainly of this hasty and ridiculous wedding, they were like a horrible dream.
Listening to Prince Eric calling a stranger's name, and thinking of the prince's strange behavior and inconsistent words before, the little princess vaguely guessed something, and the corners of her eyes felt slightly sore.
"I think about it, I understand it all." Prince Eric shouted loudly, "I have been cursed, someone made me forget my lover, just to let me attend this wedding!"
Prince Eric squirmed with his unfamiliar and difficult-to-control fish tail, and moved a few steps toward the little princess on the ground.
He half laughed at himself and half said to the Ender princess:
"I'm sorry. As I said before, the one I love is another girl, the other girl who saved me with you. She is a mermaid.
"For me, she drank the medicine that split the fish's tail into legs, abandoned her familiar homeland, and met me on the ground.
"In order to be with her, we found a great magician and asked him to refine a potion that would allow us to turn into mermaids and go to the sea together."
The little princess was stunned.
She could barely process the sheer amount of information contained in Prince Eric's brief statement.
This sounds like something out of a fairy tale book.
Even more bizarre and weird than those stories!
The little princess murmured:
"As expected, the witch added a drug to the wine that disrupts your mind and memory."
She suddenly rushed in front of the prince who had turned into a mermaid, straightened Eric's body that could not stand upright, and stared into the prince's dark eyes with shame:
"I'm sorry, Eric, I really didn't know anything about it, so I let you drink that ecstasy medicine!"
"So that's it. This is a scam, a huge scam." Prince Eric clenched his fists. "I would rather modify my memory than get the two of us married. There must be some conspiracy hidden in this!"< br>
He tried to stand up, but without his legs he was unable to do this simple thing.
And then Eric thought:
Ariel may have encountered the same situation when she first wanted to come to land. Therefore, when Ariel pushed him, who was unconscious like a dead corpse, to the coast, the little mermaid could only watch from a distance in the sea. Looking at him. Land and ocean are the natural chasm that separates humans and mermaids.
The little princess covered her mouth, her eyes were complicated, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"No, I can't stay here anymore. We have to leave here and end this ridiculous wedding farce!" Prince Eric pulled the ground with his hands and tried to move his body towards the door of the temple.
At the same time, other people in the temple were too panicked to listen to Eric's story.
Someone tried to open the temple door and escape, but found that the door was welded shut.
"It's so weird, the door can't be opened!
"We're all trapped in here!"
