Chapter 172 Emperor Ende’s New Clothes
When the Ende Emperor heard this, he immediately became vigilant and summoned soldiers to raid and search the eldest prince's palace overnight.
Sure enough, that night, the emperor found evidence of the eldest prince's rebellion.
"My son, you are obviously the crown prince of the empire. But you are unwilling to wait a little longer and insist on planning a rebellion. You are really stupid." The emperor reprimanded.
In fact, the emperor knew that he had long since made a wish for immortality to the magic lamp and had become immortal. His prince had no chance of inheriting the throne.
"My father, you have become dim-sighted and stupid all day long. You hold a dirty oil lamp and do all kinds of stupid things all day long! Someone should take your place long ago!" the eldest prince argued.
Emperor Ende was furious. He knew that he was now clear-headed and that the prince's accusations were nonsense.
Soon, the prince was sent to the guillotine and executed in full view of the public.
Afterwards, the emperor sighed:
"It is indeed a magic lamp. Even if I don't make a wish, it will remind me.
"This treasure must not fall into the hands of others!"
From then on, the emperor never left the magic lamp and regarded it as more important than his life.
The other ministers didn't know why the emperor was holding an old oil lamp, but no matter how they persuaded him, the emperor had his own way.
Such days have passed for a long time.
One day, the emperor felt that as the master of the world, he should use some great and magnificent gesture to show his authority and power in front of the whole world.
He rubbed the magic lamp again and summoned the djinn.
"My master, you are already the king of the world, do you have any other wishes?"
The emperor made a wish:
"I wanted a dress that was majestic and magical.
"It must be invulnerable. As long as I wear it, even the most heroic and powerful warrior, holding the sharpest legendary sword, cannot hurt me.
"It must be resistant to harmful spells. Even the most terrifying spells used by the most skilled magicians cannot harm me.
"This dress also has special magic power. As long as I think about it, I can go anywhere in the world and show my authority to anyone in the world.
"Of course, the most important thing is that the clothes must be gorgeous enough so that anyone who sees me wearing these clothes will immediately recognize that this is what the king of the world should look like!"
The magic lamp nodded and said: "My master, I will fulfill your wish."
The genie stretched out his hands and shook them in the air, and a piece of clothing that was extremely beautiful and majestic appeared. It has beautiful patterns and beautiful colors. It looks dazzling and is simply the most luxurious clothing in the world.
"My lord, put on this garment."
The emperor then took off his clothes and walked to the dressing mirror, turning around and twisting his waist in front of the mirror.
"This is great. This is the clothes I want! I want everyone to see my new clothes."
He then summoned his ministers and marched in the streets. The attendants held up a gorgeous canopy for the emperor and held up the train on the back of his clothes - that is, the long piece of cloth on the back of the clothes of a feudal monarch.
The emperor just walked on the streets of the imperial city, showing his new demeanor to everyone.
People on the street and in the windows praised:
"What a magnificent piece of clothing. This is the new clothes that the King of the World should wear!"
After hearing such words, the emperor was extremely pleased and indulged in the praise of everyone.
He used the magic of his new clothes to travel to every country in the world and held a grand parade in the royal city of each kingdom.
……
Let's talk about Aladdin.
As mentioned last time, Aladdin always remembered the emperor who took away the false magic lamp, but he didn't know which empire the emperor came from and what kind of magic spell was on the false magic lamp.
On this day, Aladdin was having dinner with his friends, and he asked about whether any major events had happened in the empires on the mainland recently.
Nowadays, Aladdin's friends are no longer those nefarious, sneaky, drunken and gluttonous friends, but rather dignitaries and smart, capable businessmen with extensive knowledge.
A friend told a story about a faraway western country:
"This has to be said. The emperor of Ende in the Western Continent is probably old and confused. He has done a lot of stupid things in the past six months."
Aladdin became interested and asked the friend for details:
"Tell me, what stupid thing did the emperor do?"
The friend drank and said with a smile:
"The Ende Emperor returned from a trip and suddenly believed that he had become the king of the world. No matter what the ministers and princes said, he seemed not to hear them.
"Since then, the emperor has been talking nonsense every day. Today he said that he toured the eastern territories, and the people were in awe of him - in fact, that land was not the territory of his empire at all; tomorrow he said that he had killed an opponent - —In fact, the other party is living well
"The funniest thing is that once, he was walking naked on the street, claiming that he was patrolling the country!"
At this point, Aladdin's friend laughed heartily, and everyone also laughed, treating the foreign affairs as a joke at the banquet.
"It's strange to say that although Emperor Ende is usually dull, once a prince wants to seek power and usurp the throne, he immediately wakes up!" Another friend also knew about this and said with emotion.
"The emperor used to be a warrior far beyond ordinary people, and his physical fitness is extraordinary. He is in good health, and if he is lucky, he can still sit on the throne for decades!"
"Haha. With such a demented and confused emperor as emperor for decades, the people of Ender will be in bad luck."
Another guest at the banquet retorted:
"You don't know, the German Emperor was a careerist in the past. He not only started wars everywhere and invaded many neighboring countries, he also allowed royal pirates to rob other countries' ships and forced the maritime countries to form alliances with him.
"Now that he has dementia, he has not started a war for many years. This is actually a good thing for both domestic and foreign countries!"
When everyone said this, they all laughed again.
Everyone at the table just thought that the emperor was crazy. Only Aladdin, who knew all the inside story, was shocked.
He knew clearly that the German emperor was under the spell of a false magic lamp, which made him stupid, stupid and self-righteous.
"What a terrible curse."
"If I misuse that ring, I'm afraid I will encounter such a tragic situation!"
Aladdin recalled Rhine's handsome but peaceful face, glanced at the ring on his index finger, and was filled with emotion when he recalled the beginning.
"Fortunately, I always remembered the teachings and did not abuse the magic of this ring to harm others."
Aladdin looked at the reflection of his face in the golden cup of wine, his eyes became firmer, and he drank the wine in one gulp.
"By the way, Aladdin, I recently heard a rumor: His Majesty has betrothed the princess to you, and you will get married next month. Is this true?"
"What, there is such a thing. Aladdin, you are too prosperous, but you don't tell your friends!"
Listening to what his friends said, Aladdin smiled.
He raised his glass and admitted:
"This is absolutely true!"
……
Let’s talk about Rhine and Aurora.
After sending Aladdin home just now, Rhine took Aurora and returned to the palace of Rose Kingdom in the blink of an eye.
As soon as the young man turned his hand, the real magic lamp appeared in his hand.
The magic lamp that was originally full of stains has become as clean as new after being cleaned by magic. "Next, it's time to see if the magic lamp can really send me to another world."
Rhine took a deep breath and gently rubbed the surface of the magic lamp.
A ball of air surged out and instantly transformed into a majestic giant monster.
The upper body of the monster was humanoid, covered with white cloth, and the lower body was made of swirling turbulent air. As long as you got close to him, you could hear the whistling wind.
When the monster saw Rhine, he immediately showed awe and bowed towards Rhine:
"My lord, is there anything you want me to do?"
Rhine asked:
"Besides our current world, do you know the existence of other worlds? Can you send me to other worlds?"
Unexpectedly, the lamp god looked confused:
"Master, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know about other worlds either."
The djinn said to Rhine respectfully:
"Although my magic power is powerful, my power is limited after all. I can feel that the master's magic power is like an endless ocean, even better than mine.

"I think there is nothing in this world that I can do that my master cannot do.
"If there is any wish that even the master cannot realize, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the master realize it."
Hearing this, Rhine's expression darkened.
Is that really the case...
He actually wasn't too surprised by this. From the beginning, he didn't quite believe that this magic lamp could really take him home.
"The founder of the Witch Guild really lied to us. Teacher, this magic lamp can't send you home at all!" Aurora said angrily.
"I'll ask her." Rhine took out Maleficent's small mirror.
In the darkness of the mirror, circles of water-like ripples spread out, and the black-haired girl emerged.
This time, the dark-haired girl in the mirror was no longer a blurry sight. Her facial features were clearly and completely displayed in the mirror.
——The unprecedentedly powerful Rhine activated the magic of prophecy and detection, revealing the appearance of the black-haired girl!
The restrictions that had previously prevented him and the magic mirror from detecting the president of the Witches Association failed to take effect now in front of Rhine, who was almost a god.
Rhine finally saw Ye Ruge, the founder of the Witches Association.
She has obvious oriental features, and her black hair hangs down like a waterfall. She is not a stunning beauty, but she can still be considered delicate and pretty. She squinted her eyes as if she was sleepy, with a playful smile on her lips, and a cunning look on her brows.
"As expected, you came to see me, Rhine." She stretched, as if she had expected this.
Rhine said in an neither fast nor slow tone:
"Ye Ruge, that magic lamp doesn't have the function you mentioned at all. The lamp god doesn't know the existence of other worlds, and he can't send me to other worlds."
"Yes. I lied to you." Ye Ruge admitted directly without hiding anything.
"I just want to see if Rhine, the greatest magician in the world, can easily get that magic lamp. Sure enough, it is easy for you!"
Before Aurora cursed, Ye Ruge suddenly opened her slightly narrowed eyes, stared at Lain outside the mirror, and questioned word by word:
"Tell me, Rhine. How did you get the magic lamp so quickly?
"I did a fortune-telling about Aladdin's mother, and I know you have gone to find her.
"Why do you know directly that you are looking for the kid named Aladdin? Do you know that only he can lift the seal of the treasure house?"
Before Lain could answer, Ye Ruge continued to question:
"[The seal of the treasure house can only be lifted by a child named Aladdin in the future.] The method of breaking this sealing spell is only recorded in an ancient book.
"And the only people in the world who are still alive after reading that ancient book are Khalid and Magrido, the magician brothers.
"I calculated that none of them took the initiative to reveal this secret to anyone other than Emperor Ender...
"So..."
Ye Ruge paused and said meaningfully:
"Rhine, you have known this secret from the beginning, right?"
Rhine heard the subtext of Ye Ruge, and actually smiled in Aurora's blank eyes.
Is that so...
Ye Ruge continued:
"Rhine, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I grew tired of this continent many years ago.
"I traveled to the West and founded a witch guild on the way. But I didn't find much fun. The boring life continued.
"It took me many years to finally find a way out of here. But I couldn't do it alone.
"Until today, you showed up."
On the picture in the mirror, the founder of the Witches stood up from the rattan chair, put away his original cynical smile, raised his chin slightly, and his eyes became more serious and longing:
"Come to me.
"You should have successfully located my location and know that I am in the capital of the Far Eastern Empire as you say.
"I will teach you how to open the door between worlds."
Ye Ruge paused for half a second and said solemnly:
"After that, we will return to our hometown together."
"Okay." Rhine agreed neatly.
The picture in the mirror returned to darkness.
"Teacher..." Aurora looked at Rhine and seemed to understand something.
She hesitated for a long time before asking:
"You are leaving this world soon, are you going home?"
She knew that such a day would come, but she was still a little reluctant to let it go.
A strange idea suddenly appeared in Aurora's mind:
She felt that losing Rhineland to this continent was a huge loss!
"Teacher has fulfilled my wish and helped many people. One day he will realize his wish and go home." She comforted herself in her heart.
Rhine stroked Aurora's blond hair: "Yes. But not right away."
"Not right away?" Aurora asked in surprise.
Rhine said:
"Let's go find the founder of the Witches Association together first to make sure her method is reliable enough.
"Then, if there is no problem with her method. I have one last thing to do before leaving this world.
"This is my last gift to this continent. Well, part of it is for you."
The final gift? A gift for me?
Aurora was suddenly a little confused, not knowing what Rhine was talking about.
"Haha, let me give it a try first." Rhine suddenly showed a sly smile, "Let's go to the capital of the Far Eastern Empire first and look for Ye Ruge..."
Rhine grabbed Aurora's shoulders, and their figures disappeared in the silver whirlwind, turning into a stream of light and shooting towards the distant east.
