Chapter 168 Aladdin’s “uncle”?
News of Maleficent's death and the lifting of the curse soon spread throughout the Rose Kingdom.
In the streets and alleys, people were cheering and lights were decorated everywhere.
The old king held a grand banquet in the royal city, and all the famous people in the kingdom came to attend.
Civilians were also allowed to participate in this grand celebration. Because this is the most celebrated day for everyone in the kingdom.
At the celebration, in the center of the square, the old king introduced Princess Aurora to everyone:
"Today, all the gentlemen and ladies in the kingdom and almost everyone in the capital are here. I want to introduce a hero to you in front of everyone.
"She is my daughter—Princess Aurora!"
People widened their eyes and stretched their necks, and sure enough they saw the beautiful princess on the stage.
"Oh, it's the legendary beautiful princess."
"She is so charming. As beautiful as the legend says."
"I have heard about Her Royal Highness the Princess. She has been in the brass palace deep in the palace, and no one is allowed to see her."
"I have also heard of this legend. I think everyone in the royal city has heard it more or less."
"..."
Different from everyone's imagination, Princess Aurora did not wear a gorgeous big skirt or expensive and fancy silk clothes. Instead, she wore casual clothes that were easy to move around. She had a pretty face and a sword on her waist. She was extremely graceful and heroic. So cool.
The old king paused and continued, while Rhine used magic to amplify the king's voice so that the entire royal city could hear:
"What I want to tell you today is that that legend is false!
"That was just a trick devised by the clever sage Lord Rhine to deceive the dark witch Maleficent!
"My daughter has never lived in seclusion deep in the palace. The brass palace deep in the palace is still empty.
"You may remember that more than a year ago, Ender's army invaded our kingdom. A god-like warrior led the army and defeated the invaders!
"That godlike warrior is my daughter!"
The people in the audience were astonished, and everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
It was difficult for them to connect the invincible hero with the legendary frail little princess who lived in seclusion deep in the palace.
The old king's tone was full of pride:
"My daughter is a super warrior blessed by the witches.
"In the past few years, my daughter has teamed up with the great magician and sage of the kingdom, His Excellency Rhine, to travel to foreign lands, kill the black witch Maleficent, and lift the curse of the kingdom!
"They are the heroes who saved the kingdom!
"Please allow me, on behalf of the kingdom, to pay the highest respect to the two heroes!"
In the expectant eyes of everyone, the old king told people the whole story - it was the legendary story of the sage and the king.
He started from the baptism ceremony more than ten years ago and continued to talk about how Aurora killed the dark witch Maleficent in the green fields of Oz.
Compared with the original experience told by Rhine and Aurora to the old king, the old king added more details, dramatic elements and epic color to the story because of his own imagination.
Bards, historians and writers recorded the story and compiled it into books.
To this day, this story is still circulating on the mainland.
In order to make it easier for children to read, some people simplify the stories, draw exquisite and beautiful illustrations, and compile them into fairy tale books. Later, in many kingdoms on the continent, children would have such a fairy tale book telling the journey of two people next to their pillows.
After telling the story, the old king announced:
"Now, in order to celebrate the return of the two heroes and to celebrate the lifting of the curse in the Kingdom of Rose, I announce that this celebration has officially begun!"
So, in the royal city of Rose Kingdom, this grand banquet lasted for eight days and eight nights.
People drank, sang, and danced all day and all night, from dawn to dusk and then to dawn.
The city's lights stay on all night long, illuminating the night as well as the day.
……
Compared to the Kingdom of Rose, which was immersed in festivals and joy, the king of the Kingdom of Alamed in the Middle East encountered a little trouble.
The young and promising young king has been looking sad in recent days.
His queen, his cousin who was lovingly married to him, suddenly disappeared overnight!
"Where has my beloved wife gone? She is a weak woman, and she is missing. I'm afraid it's very bad."
Seeing the king so distressed, a brave maid, convinced that the queen would never come back, told the king about his wife's infidelity.
"What? You said that my wife would mix narcotics in the wine every night to make me sleepy, and then sneak out by herself?"
"That's nonsense!"
The king was furious and did not believe the maid's words at all, and even wanted to put the maid to death.
But as a virtuous king, he immediately changed his mind and felt that he should not be so arbitrary.
He took out the gold cup he usually drank from and asked the pharmacist to examine it carefully.
"Your Majesty the King, there is indeed an anesthetic agent remaining in this cup."
"Are you telling the truth?" The young king was shocked.
"That's absolutely true, Your Majesty."
The king asked someone to reward the maid who revealed the truth, but he himself was worried:
"Where will my wife go after she faints every night?"
That night, the young king had a dream.
In the dream, he learned many things that he didn't know——
He learned that his wife was a powerful witch who could turn his kingdom into ruins in an instant; he saw his wife helping another witch from the witch guild to cast magic on a distant kingdom and turn all the people into He became a fish; he saw the magician Rhine pretending to be a black slave, tricking the witch into lifting the spell, leaving the disgusted Kingdom of Alamed, and traveling far away, thus avoiding a catastrophe in the kingdom...
When the light of dawn shone on the gorgeous silk bed, the young king woke up from his dream.
He was sweating profusely, his clothes were soaked inside and out, and he was patting his chest and panting.
"It turns out that without my knowledge, the Kingdom of Alamed escaped from a disaster!"
"Okay, okay, fortunately the witch left."
The king trembled with fear at the thought of his wife's terrifying power in the dream.
"Thankfully, the silver-haired magician deceived my wife. Otherwise, I don't know one day, she will cast a spell on my kingdom and turn all the citizens into fish."
"Thank you God for giving me a dream and letting me know the whole truth!"
The young king was extremely happy.
He opened the window and saw the bright sunshine shining on the land of the kingdom.
Fortunately, there are no what-ifs in the world. In this world line, disaster has not befallen his land.
What he didn't see was that in the clouds in the distance, a majestic phantom of a god and monster was looking at him.
It was the ring elf driven by Rhine, who had just entrusted the dream to the young king.
……
There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.
In the capital of Rose Kingdom, the grand celebration finally came to an end.
People dispersed.
The aroma of wine and food filled the air, and the cheerful singing seemed to linger in my ears.
"The story of Rose Kingdom is over." Rhine looked at the leftovers after the grand banquet in front of him, half relieved and half confused.
Finally fulfilling the wishes of Aurora and the Rose Kingdom, Rhine felt the power of desire like sea water pouring into his soul.
Today, his magic is no longer limited to specific areas. He himself was like a wishing lantern, with thousands of different spells echoing in his mind.
"Teacher, let's go." Aurora didn't take any notice, her eyes were filled with determination.
"Teacher, you have fulfilled my wish. Next, it is my turn to fulfill your wish."
To find the magic lamp and return to the earth is the wish of the wish magician himself.
Rhine smiled happily, grabbed Aurora, and lightly bumped his heels.
The silver wind swept the two men away, and their figures disappeared.
The world spins and the scene changes.
The two appeared in the palace of White Kingdom and met the former evil queen and her magic mirror.

"I heard about the grand banquet in Rose Kingdom and the good news of your success!" The queen congratulated Rhine and Aurora.
"Have the witches not come to trouble you recently?" Rhine asked with concern.
"No." The queen shook her head.
Then, she said in an extremely shocked tone:
"Strange to say, I just received a message a few days ago, from the president of the Witches Association who barely spoke. Guess what she said?"
"She said that the witches will be disbanded from now on?" Rhine asked.
"Ah?" The queen was even more surprised now, "Your Majesty, Sage, you know!"
The founder of the Witches' Association actually disbanded the organization. It was as easy as disbanding a group chat... Lain muttered in his heart, feeling more and more that Ye Ruge, who founded the Witches' Association, had a weird personality.
He told the purpose of his visit:
"Your Majesty the Queen, I have something that I need your magic mirror to help with. I want to find someone."
"Looking for someone? Of course." The queen agreed immediately, "Who are you looking for?"
Rhine smiled and said:
"The person I'm looking for is probably a child, he should live in a country further east.
"His name is Aladdin and his father's name is Mustafa..."
……
In the far east, in the western region of the Far Eastern Empire and the eastern part of the Middle East country, there is a small city called Kassala.
On this day, a silver-haired boy and a blond-haired girl came to this small town.
They are not locals at first glance, and their appearance is handsome and delicate, like children walking out of a painting. Anyone who sees them will fall in love with them.
"Is there a tailor named Mustafa in this city?" the silver-haired boy asked several passers-by.
A passerby replied with a little regret: "There used to be such a good tailor in the city, and I used him to sew clothes. Unfortunately, the poor tailor passed away a few years ago."
"Does that poor tailor have a son named Aladdin?" the silver-haired boy asked again.
When the passerby heard this name, he said angrily:
"Yes, he does have such a son. Then Aladdin is really naughty!"
The silver-haired boy asked a lot more about Aladdin's family.
So, everyone started talking one by one.
It turns out that Mustafa, a tailor, came from a poor family and worked all day long to support his wife and children.
But it is precisely because of this that he neglected to discipline Aladdin and let the child hang out with bad friends outside all day long. Aladdin developed bad habits at a young age, being playful, lazy, and idle.
Mustafa also thought about sending Aladdin to school, but because of his low status and lack of money, it was impossible to send his son to school. He wanted to teach Aladdin a trade, but Aladdin didn't want to learn it.
A few years ago, after Mustafa passed away, Aladdin's child was left undisciplined and hung out with a group of bad friends all day long.
When mentioning Aladdin and his dead father, everyone felt a little regretful:
"What a pity. Mustafa is a good tailor, and his craftsmanship is famous in this street! Although he is not rich, he will help his poor friends. When he was still alive, he had good relations with everyone in the neighborhood. ”
"Now that Mustafa has passed away, his son Aladdin and his mother are orphaned and widowed. They can only sell the shop and survive with this little money."
"Hey, that kid from Aladdin, it would have been great if he had learned a trade from his father!"
"Yes. How long can mother and son live on just the money from selling the tailor shop?"
"That little money alone is definitely not enough for them to survive. I heard that Aladdin's mother also spun threads all day long and took the spun threads to the market to sell them in exchange for a little money. In addition, she used to sell the threads in the shop. Those who can barely maintain the lives of their mother and son until now.”
"Hey, how much money can a woman make just by spinning thread? How can two people eat? I think their family must be unable to make ends meet, so they are just relying on their little savings to survive."
"Hey, if Aladdin had learned his father's craftsmanship and inherited the tailor shop, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
Mentioning the Aladdin mother and son, the neighbors couldn't help but lament and shook their heads with regret.
In their view, the little money saved from selling their father's tailor shop will be exhausted sooner or later. Aladdin's mother is also old and cannot spin for a long time. Sooner or later, mother and son will be poor and live on the streets.
"Sure enough, it is this Aladdin. He is the person we asked for!"
Rhine recalled the story of "Aladdin's Magic Lamp" he had seen in his previous life, and was convinced that the descriptions of Aladdin and his son by the neighbors were consistent with the original work, but from a different perspective.
"Thank you." Rhine took out a few gold coins and gave one to each passerby who provided information to him.
Some of them had never seen gold coins in their lives, but their eyes lit up when they saw that the gold coins given by Rhine were big, bright and in excellent condition.
One of the kind passers-by said to Rhine:
"Son, it looks like you must come from a wealthy family. Why don't you help Aladdin's family? We are all neighbors. Aladdin's father also helped me a lot back then. I can't just watch their mother and son starve to death. ”
Rhine nodded and agreed.
He came to Aladdin for help, so of course he couldn't treat their mother and son badly!
After a while, Rhine and Aurora arrived at Aladdin's house and knocked on the door gently.
The door was opened by a tired-looking woman, none other than Aladdin's mother.
"Hello, madam, we are Sage Rhine and Princess Aurora from the Kingdom of Lolth in the West."
After saying that, Rhine handed a few gold coins to Aladdin's mother.
Aladdin's mother was surprised and happy when she saw the gold coins.
The gold coins given by Rhine were of excellent quality and sparkled in the sun. They were worth the money they paid for selling the tailor shop!
She took the gold coin and suddenly seemed to be dreaming, a little unbelievable:
"Oh my God! You are big shots from a foreign country. Why would you come to me, an ordinary poor man, for someone like you?"
"We are here to find your son Aladdin. Where is he?" Aurora glanced inside the door and found that Aladdin was not at home, and asked immediately.
"Aladdin?" Aladdin's mother was quite surprised, obviously not expecting the two of them to come looking for his useless son.
Aladdin's mother recalled it and said:
"Aladdin was taken away by his uncle. His uncle said he wanted to take him to see the world. He said it would help him become a businessman in the future."
Upon hearing this answer, Rhine's eyes narrowed and he was slightly surprised.
