Chapter 130 The Confident Witch of the East
Today is the day when Sage Rhine leaves.
The herald blew the horn, the sound of flutes floated down from the tall buildings, the honor guard sang farewell songs, and the sergeant major waved a bright flag.
Rhine and Aurora rode horses, escorted by a large group of soldiers, to the eastern border of the kingdom.
The bright and bright sunshine shone on the street. Both sides of the street were full of people paying farewell. Some children threw crimson flowers to them, some women wiped their tears with handkerchiefs, and the birds sang beautiful melodies.
"Is that the Sage Rhine? He looks so small."
"A magician's age has nothing to do with his appearance!"
"Thank you, sage of the kingdom!"
"Lord Rhine, we are waiting for your return."
"..."
People watched as Rhine and Aurora, who were riding horses, were escorted by soldiers and left the royal city, entered the forest path, and finally disappeared into the green woods.
The old carpenter Geppetto and the hunter Angus were also among the farewell crowd.
However, their voices were drowned out among the singing, fluting, crying and cheering.
"Thanks to the Sage for coming to the White Kingdom..." Geppetto, the old carpenter, thought about the past less than three months, as if in a dream.
He felt like a witness to history. It will be recorded in history books and bard legends:
How did a wandering magician come to the White Kingdom, awaken the dim queen, and rewrite history!
"By the way, the murderous witch not long ago has not been caught yet?"
The old carpenter Geppetto suddenly remembered the murder case some time ago and the neighbors who suffocated to death on land.
"It seems so. I guess that witch must be hiding!" Hunter Angus scratched his head and said.
"What a pity." The old carpenter Geppetto sighed, "I thought I could see that witch captured by the Sage and receive the punishment she deserves!"
Even witches who master powerful magic cannot escape the sanction of the law - if such a scene happened, it would be so exciting and inspiring for the new White Kingdom and the new order of the kingdom!
"By the way, Dad." The hunter suddenly thought of Pinocchio running around at home, "Where's Pinocchio? Where did he go?"
"It was included in the 'talent list' by Her Majesty the Queen's magic mirror and was summoned to the palace."
"That puppet is considered a talent. What abilities can it have?" Hunter Angus looked surprised.
In the past two months or so, ever since Pinocchio learned to move, he has been a completely restless kid who can't take any time off and causes trouble everywhere!
"The herald said that moving and talking puppets are very rare. Just in time, Her Majesty the Queen is going to visit the Kingdom of West Asia by ship, so she can perform a puppet show with her."
"Huh?" Angus was stunned.
Let the puppets perform a puppet show?
A puppet show where the puppets move by themselves, right?
What kind of idea could the devil come up with!
……
On the road between woods.
Rhine lowered his head while riding on the horse and played with the three scarecrows in his hands.
They are magic props formed by gathering the power of wishes of the entire White Kingdom.
Each scarecrow can only be used once and is a consumable item, but extremely powerful. At the same time, it combines the two functions of cursing and saving life. It can be regarded as a combination of "Voodoo Doll" and "Stand-in Doll".
As long as Rhine obtains other people's hair, blood or other body tissues, he can make a scarecrow into a "voodoo stand-in" for the corresponding target.
At any time, if the holder of the scarecrow encounters danger, he can consume the corresponding substitute scarecrow and exchange fate with the character corresponding to the substitute.
The situation, injuries, spells suffered, and positions of the two people will all be exchanged!
For example, if Rhine obtains a hair of the dark witch Maleficent, he can make a voodoo double corresponding to Maleficent.
Later, if Rhine is stabbed through the heart with a knife, he can actively activate the Scarecrow.
In this way, Rhine and Maleficent will switch places. And the person whose heart is pierced will also become the dark witch Maleficent.
【Substitute of Destiny】!
This is the name Rhine gave to the three scarecrows.
It is like the embodiment of the two bizarre fates of "Aurora takes over the role of the original Snow White" and "Aurora pretends to be the queen".
"In this world, the foundation of a powerful magician comes not only from the magic he masters, but also from many powerful tools that transcend common sense!"
"Ordinary magicians may have to work hard, go through hardships, and risk their lives to collect two or three practical magic props. But I only need to continue to realize other people's wishes!"
Rhine thought.
In addition to the new props, Rhine can feel that after absorbing the power of wishes from many ordinary people and children of destiny in the Kingdom of Sea, West Asia and White Kingdom, the magic power in his soul is now stronger than when he left the Kingdom of Rose. too much.
The majestic power gathered in the depths of his soul and reached a certain bottleneck, bringing him closer to a new and completely different stage. "As long as I get another magic weapon equivalent to the White Kingdom level, my magic will undergo a qualitative change and reach a new realm!"
"What level will it be?"
However, there is no strict hierarchy in this fantasy world, only vague titles such as great magician and legendary magician.
——For example, many people call Rhine the great magician, while the black witch Maleficent and the Middle Eastern witches of the Witches are recognized as legendary magicians within the organization.
Therefore, Rhine didn't know what the new realm he was about to reach would be.
……
"The two main targets have left the royal city and are walking on the east path! They are escorted by about a hundred soldiers."
Among the woods, on the hillside, a lean man wearing a black cloak was hiding in the woods, looking at the team consisting of Rhine and Aurora from a distance.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting the man's cloak, revealing the armor under the cloak and the emblem of the Ender army.
"Report the situation to Lord Magrido!"
The man turned around and gave a stern order to the woods behind him.
Behind him, in the woods where there seemed to be no one, suddenly the leaves trembled and made a sparse sound.
……
Swish, swish, swish.
The green branches swayed, and there was a rustling sound in the woods.
Maglido walked out of the bushes and walked towards the Witch of the East who was standing in the clearing with her back to him.
"Everything went well. I received a report from the spies: The magician Rhine and the girl with superb martial arts skills have approached the eastern border of the White Kingdom and are about to leave the kingdom."
"It's incredible. They just walked away like that. No one can protect the queen anymore."
The Witch of the East Shrugged:
"Indeed, it went so smoothly. It was like a trap. To induce us to attack the queen."
Maglido smiled:
"At this point, it is meaningless whether it is a trap. We have made the most complete preparations, and there is no possibility of failure."
"Yes." The Witch of the East also showed a hideous smile. Her wrinkles were squeezed together, making the witch look even more terrifying.
They are fully prepared and there is absolutely no possibility of failure.
After today, both the magician Rhine and the queen of the White Kingdom will be dead!
"By the way," Maglido asked confirmingly, "Have you convinced her to take action?"
"It's considered convincing. She is also very interested in the sage from the Kingdom of Rose." said the Witch of the East. "She said she would watch my actions. If we really can't handle it, she would step in to help. .”
Maglido smiled:
"Then I'll feel relieved."
The Witch of the East snorted coldly:
"She always likes to put on airs. In fact, it's more than enough to get rid of the target with us alone, and we don't need her help at all!"
After saying that, the Witch of the East took out a gorgeously carved gourd from her pocket and threw it to Magrido:
"Don't forget your mission."
When throwing the gourd to Magrido, the Witch of the East showed an expression of obvious pain.
"This treasure can only be used once. I got it from the founder of the Witches' Guild in exchange for it. I have kept it for many years and never wanted to use it. It is a treasure at the bottom of the box!"
Maglido took the gourd and left with a smile amidst the songs of the birds.
His targets are the magicians Rhine and Aurora!
The Witch of the East also jumped up, flew into the air, and flew towards the sea.
Her target is the ship that Queen White is sailing on.
In this forest glade, only the birds were chirping and singing cheerful songs tirelessly.
Neither the Witch of the East nor the magician Magrido realized:
The scenes where the two met, talked, passed things around, and laughed wildly were all reflected in the beautiful eyes of the singing bird.
