Chapter 96 The Story of "Cinderella"
Countless illusory voices sounded in Rhine’s ears:
"I want to be recognized by His Majesty the Sea King and everyone in the Kingdom of the Sea, and no longer be regarded as an ugly and terrifying monster."
"Want to enter human society, want to fall in love with Prince Eric and get married, want to get an immortal soul."
"I hope that every mermaid who falls in love with humans like me will not have to go through the hardships that I have experienced."
"I want to be with Ariel."
"I hope that the kingdom of the sea and the kingdom of mankind can coexist peacefully from now on."
"Hope my sister/granddaughter is okay."
"I hope that the ships of the Kingdom of West Asia can sail safely on the sea forever. I hope that the Kingdom of West Asia can gradually become rich and let everyone live a good life."
"I hope there will be a bumper fishing harvest today so that my family will no longer have to go hungry."
"I hope this trip to sea will be safe and we will not encounter a storm."
"I hope that an ordinary fish like me can also have the opportunity to get an immortal soul like Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel."
"..."
These sounds intertwined with each other, layer upon layer, echoing in Rhine's ears.
After the alliance between the Kingdom of the Sea and the Kingdom of West Asia was reached, the power of these wishes finally gathered together and condensed into new harvests.
Rhine stretched out his right hand and held it in vain. Countless blue light spots converged into the shape of a scepter in his hand. It began to be illusory and then solidified into reality.
"The Scepter of the Sea"!
This is the embodiment of many wishes regarding the sea and the kingdom of the sea.
Just the moment he held the scepter, Rhine could feel the majestic magic power inside, which was far beyond anything before.
"It turns out that multiple related wishes can be put together to exchange for a big reward."
"This is much better than getting a lot of props or magic with mediocre effects."
Rhine was deep in thought, his figure quickly became blurred and disappeared from the spot.
The boy's figure appeared on the sea.
He floated in the air, and the fierce wind summoned by the scepter held him back, preventing him from falling.
The sky suddenly darkened, black clouds covered the clear sky within a few seconds, and silver lightning flashed through the dark clouds. The wind howled. The dark waves rolled up, like a small mountain, crashing down.
Rhine pointed at the sea with his scepter, and a huge whirlpool with a radius of several kilometers formed on the sea. If there were any ships passing nearby, they would have been swallowed up long ago.
"It can directly command the sea itself to create a tsunami that is enough to submerge small island countries."
"At sea, you can directly summon terrifying storms, control strong winds and lightning, and the destructive power is enough to destroy an entire aircraft carrier battle group in the previous life."
"This is too scary!"
Rhine waved his scepter again.
The strong wind died down, the waves stopped, and the dark clouds dispersed.
Before, he had no idea about the powerful magic of the dark witch Maleficent that could directly affect an entire country. Now, he has truly realized it.
"It can also be used on land, but the efficiency is not that exaggerated. It can only control water and currents to a limited extent."
As Rhine thought, his body blurred and disappeared again.
……
Three days after Prince Eric and Princess Ariel got married, the palace of the Kingdom of West Asia suddenly became lively again.
"Eric, your brother Prince Henry has returned to the country!" The king happily said to Eric who was being intimate with Ariel by the window.
"Henry is finally back. He probably won't be here for long this time and will have to run around again."
Prince Eric turned his head involuntarily and sighed.
"Eric, what kind of person is your brother? I seem to have heard you mention it several times?" Ariel asked.
When Prince Eric proposed elopement, he made it clear that he had a younger brother traveling abroad who could inherit the throne.
"Hey. How should I put it..." Eric looked like he had a headache. "He's always a bit unreliable... Well, forget it, I'm not qualified to say anything about him."
He remembered that not long ago he was planning to elope with Ariel. Now Eric, who had changed his ways and planned to seriously study to become the new king, felt that he was not much better.
"Eric, my father, I have finally met you."
Excited voices came from outside the door.
"Brother, I just returned home and heard that you got married. Let me see what the bride looks like!"
A young man who looked somewhat similar to Eric strode in. He looked nothing like a prince.
Henry's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the beautiful Ariel in Eric's arms:
"Wow, Brother Wang, this is your new wife, I'm so envious!"
After spending a long time praising Ariel's beauty, Prince Eric and Ariel only stopped when they both started to feel embarrassed.
Immediately afterwards, Henry showed an expression of great regret and looked at the king:
"Father, look, my brothers are all married, but I don't even have a fiancée."
"Henry, don't think that I don't know your nature. You must have hooked up with a lot of girls during your travels." The king yawned.
"You can't say that, father. What I need is a formal fiancée!" Prince Henry looked aggrieved.
He excitedly emphasized:
"I am serious this time, definitely not just for fun! I think it is necessary for me to recruit a beautiful wife from across the country."
"Okay, okay, what do you want, Henry?" The king waved his hand helplessly.
Prince Henry lowered his head, thought seriously for a while, and put forward his own idea:
"I have a great idea.
"We can hold a huge ball in the palace and secretly reveal that this is the wedding party of Prince Eric's younger brother, Prince Henry. All the rich, distinguished and attractive girls from all over the country can come to participate.< br>
"I will choose the most beautiful, noble and elegant girl from this ball to be my fiancée!
"Hahaha, maybe there will be a mermaid from the deep sea who has a crush on me and turns into a human to attend this dance. Then I will also have a mermaid fiancée, just like my brother Wang."
The king and Prince Eric looked at each other and sighed in unison.
"Are you sure you want to find a serious fiancée this time, not just for fun, right? Okay, it's up to you."
The king had long been familiar with Henry's temper and was too lazy to argue with him. He felt that this was not an excessive request, so he agreed.
"Okay, praise my father!" Henry jumped up excitedly.
In another room in the palace, Rhine, who was sorting out information about the Witches with Aurora, heard the whole process.
"Alas, it seems that Prince Eric's younger brother, Prince Henry, is indeed a bit unreliable." Aurora sighed.
"Let me just say, no wonder the king decided to appoint Eric, who was rebellious and obviously didn't want to inherit the throne, as the crown prince. It turns out that this younger brother is more like a baby." Rhine shrugged with a smile.
"But then again, the prince held a large-scale ball in order to recruit a fiancée. Why is this story so familiar?" Rhine couldn't help but think divergently.
It's a bit like the story of "Cinderella"?
