Chapter 107 The Visit of the Witches
"Mom, what are you doing?"
The queen, who was poisoning the apple, was startled by her daughter.
Standing behind her was Snow White, who looked confused. This child was only seven years old now, so she was really ignorant at that age.
Looking at her daughter's snow-white skin and long black hair, the queen couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
"Fortunately, the person who is more beautiful than me is not you. Otherwise you would definitely be dead by now."
"It's nothing, my good daughter. Step aside and play." The queen put her daughter away.
Although not as good as other members of the Witch Coven, the Queen is a witch who is proficient in black magic after all. Soon, after spending some precious materials and accumulated toxins, three evil props were produced!
They are, respectively, a beautiful ribbon with black magic attached to it that will tighten the neck and make people breathless, a comb with poison, and a basket of poison apples.
The queen also played a trick and poisoned the front of each poisonous apple, but the other side was not poisonous.
In this way, if Aurora suspects that there is something wrong with the apple, she can deliberately eat the non-poisonous half and trick the other party into eating the other half.
This terrifying poison can even make elephants faint!
"Hahahaha, in that basket of apples, the outward-facing part is poisonous, and the inward-facing part is not poisonous. Remember that. Don't make a mistake."
The queen went out to use the restroom, reminding herself all the time as she went.
"Mom, these apples are so plump!"
The queen, who had just returned to the room, saw the young Snow White looking curiously at the apples in the basket and poking the apples with her fingers.
"Ah ah ah wait, don't touch those apples!"
The queen was startled and quickly grabbed Snow White's hand.
"I didn't lock the door when I went to the bathroom. Why did you run into my room again, Bai Xue? You didn't eat those apples, did you?" the queen confirmed hurriedly.
"No," Snow White said obediently.
"Phew." The queen breathed in relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, Snow White did not eat the poisoned apple.
"Wait, why am I so worried about Snow White? I'm not her biological mother!" The queen suddenly thought.
"Hmph. I'm not worried about her."
"I'm just worried that if my daughter dies suddenly after eating an apple in my room, things will be unclear. Maybe the old king will doubt me and wake up from my charm!"
The queen was full of thoughts.
She had to admit that after discovering that the person who was more beautiful than herself was not her daughter Snow White, her years of hostility, vigilance and jealousy towards Snow White had long since disappeared.
The relationship between the two now is not much different from that of a normal stepmother and daughter.
After sending Snow White away, the queen left the palace.
She cast another spell and turned herself into an old woman. She rode a broomstick and flew over the hills, over the river and the woods, to the home of the seven dwarfs.
……
Not long after the queen left, the palace welcomed a strange guest - an old woman dressed as a witch and wearing a pair of silver shoes.
"Snow White, do you know where your mother is?"
The strange witch leaned down and asked the confused Snow White. She was already quite old, her face was full of wrinkles, but her eyes were sharp, and she looked quite scary.
Snow White was very surprised.
Because this aunt suddenly appeared in front of him, suddenly appeared in the palace! How could she run to the palace without being stopped?
Snow White shook her head: "I don't know. My mother went out early in the morning and didn't say where she was going."
"It's really annoying." The old witch frowned and glared at Snow White again, "If your mother comes back, just say that the [slave owner] came to see her."
The witch from the Witch Coven left after saying this.
She went to the queen's room again and saw the gorgeous full-length mirror, which was the queen's magic mirror.
"Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me, some time ago, between the Kingdom of West Asia, Ender and the mermaids in the sea..."
"Wait a moment." The magic mirror said, "I am a loyal magic mirror. My only, eternal, and great master is the noble Queen of the White Kingdom! I will not answer other people's questions."
"Damn magic mirror." The witch from the Witches' Coven was very dissatisfied.
She cursed secretly in her heart:
"Hmph, your so-called great master is just a bad witch who is not good at magic. If there is not a magic mirror that answers all questions, how could he stay in the witch guild!"
"If this damn magic mirror hadn't recognized only one owner, I would have killed the queen and snatched the mirror away!"
Magic Mirror added:
"And it's useless for you to ask me. I can only give answers when my dear master asks me questions. No one else can use me. The queen doesn't ask me questions. I'm just an ordinary mirror and can't actively detect anything."
The witch [slave owner] from the witch guild suppressed the anger in her heart and asked the magic mirror again:
"I am your master and friend. Then can you tell me where your great and dear master has gone? You always know this, right? She told you!"
"The master said before leaving that her whereabouts must be kept secret." The magic mirror spoke righteously.
The witch was so angry that she almost wanted to break the mirror, but thinking of using this magic mirror in the future, she could only swallow her anger down her throat. "That's all, I'll just stay here and the queen will come back. Only she can use this magic mirror."
……
The dwarf's home.
Aurora clapped her hands, and the broom automatically swept the floor, the rag automatically wiped dust on the table, and even the dishes after the meal were cleaned by themselves.
"Wow, what a magic!" x7
The seven dwarfs exclaimed in unison.
After the words fell, the seven of them complained about each other again:
"Why do you want to learn how to speak like me?" x7
Seeing the surprised looks of the dwarfs, Aurora smiled with satisfaction, looking extremely proud.
What Aurora cast just now was the magic she learned from the 12 good witches in the Kingdom of Rose.
Although Aurora's talent is not in magic, she can still do a little trick. Although it cannot be used in combat, it is still no problem to use magic to light lamps and handle some household chores.
Unfortunately, during the previous journey, Rhine, a powerful magician, always accompanied her, so she had no chance to show off her little magic. Now she finally has the opportunity to show off her skills, which makes Aurora quite satisfied.
"Thank you for helping us keep our house clean. You are such a great and kind boy! Goodbye, we are going to the mountains to mine."
The seven dwarfs bid farewell to Rhine and Aurora and went up the mountain to mine.
Before leaving, they reminded:
"By the way, be careful of the queen. Although I don't know why you angered her, everyone says that the queen of the White Kingdom is an eccentric, violent and paranoid guy. Since she sent hunters to attack you, after one failure, she will definitely I won’t let you go easily.”
Rhine nodded gently and watched the dwarfs disappear into the forest.
He already had a guess as to why Aurora was targeted by the queen.
Rhine took out the crystal ball and asked softly:
"Is the queen sending hunters to attack Aurora because Aurora is more beautiful?"
The blue light burst out, giving a positive answer.
"It's true."
Rhine shrugged.
Fate is really wonderful. It seems that because he and Aurora came to the White Kingdom, Aurora now took away the Snow White script by mistake.
The queen didn't seem to know that they were just passing through the White Kingdom, not living here permanently. After all, cross-border travelers like them are still too rare on this continent.
"Why don't we just leave the White Kingdom? But in this case, the most beautiful person will become Snow White."
"Having the failed experience of assassinating Aurora, the queen will definitely be more careful. Snow White probably won't be able to escape from her stepmother's murderous hands like the original!"
"And the hunter Angus has not completed the queen's mission. I am afraid the queen will not spare him. And before leaving the White Kingdom, I also plan to meet his carpenter adoptive father..."
As a person who likes to take care of things, it’s okay if I didn’t participate before. Now that he has been attacked once by the Queen's men, Rhine has no intention of leaving just like that. He must put an end to this matter!
"Just in time, I also want to see that magic mirror and ask it a question or two."
"Is there any way to bring a new happy ending to this story?"
The silver-haired little magician looked at the blue sky outside the window, pondered for a while, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and came up with an interesting idea.
Just then, an old woman - disguised as the queen, of course - came to the dwarf's cabin.
"Selling groceries, selling groceries," shouted the queen pretending to be an old woman.
Just by seeing the old woman at a glance, Rhine guessed that she was the queen in disguise.
"As expected, you're here again. You're so unwilling to forgive me..." Rhine was speechless.
no. Are you dressed as a sundry seller in the middle of nowhere? Does anyone really believe it?
"Why are there people selling things in this forest? Old lady, what are you selling?" Aurora leaned out of the window and asked.
The queen pretended to be an old woman and shouted again:
"I sell many beautiful things. For example, ribbons of various colors, beautiful combs, and big, plump apples."
Without waiting for Aurora to respond, the queen handed over a beautiful ribbon and a comb:
"Try it. Wear this ribbon. Comb your hair with a nice comb."
A little girl of this age should be interested in her own beautiful gadgets and always want to try them! The queen thought in her mind.
She had almost seen the innocent little blond girl taking her things out of curiosity, putting the ribbon around her neck and suffocating to death, or the tragic scene of her dying of poisonous hair after combing her hair.
"Old lady, I'm sorry, I don't want to buy it, and I'm not interested."
Aurora said coldly, slamming the window shut.
