Chapter 151: Advice of "Good Will"

Aurora and Dorothy met Pinocchio yesterday.

After this poor puppet was stranded in the Land of Oz, he was unfamiliar with the place and extremely sad, and he burst into tears.

He thought of his father, the carpenter Geppetto, and the magician Rhine who gave him life.

"Why am I so unlucky that I was dragged into this mysterious country for no apparent reason?"

After crying, Pinocchio was exhausted and could only grope around to find his way home.

He talked to the crows in the sky, the field mice on the ground, and other small animals in the green field that seemed to be able to talk, hoping to find a temporary place to stay.

Under the guidance of the little animals, Pinocchio sneaked into the home of a Munchkin.

It was raining outside and the weather was very cold, so Pinocchio put his feet on the kang to keep them warm, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, after waking up, Pinocchio found that his wooden feet were burned.

He was shocked and scared, but couldn't stand up, so he could only lie on the ground and cry loudly.

"Why am I so pathetic?"

"It must be because I am a puppet, a moving piece of wood carved by a carpenter, not a real boy."

"If I were a real boy, my feet wouldn't be burned so easily without me noticing."

"I will not participate in a puppet show and be dragged here for no apparent reason."

The more Pinocchio thought about it, the harder he cried.

Fortunately, not long after, Aurora and Dorothy happened to be passing by and found Pinocchio with his foot burned off.

"I know that puppet, his name is Pinocchio. He was accidentally dragged into this place just like me." Aurora exclaimed.

They commissioned a Munchkin carpenter to make a new foot for Pinocchio. The new foot was stronger and more beautiful than the previous one, which made Pinocchio very happy.

In this way, Pinocchio joined the team and went to the Emerald City together.

On the way, Pinocchio thought that the Tin Man and the Scarecrow were very similar to him - they were both made of different materials. Of course, the Tin Man said that he was once a human being with flesh and blood, unlike Pinocchio.

Pinocchio also gradually learned that the Tin Man and the Scarecrow wanted to get a heart and a smart brain respectively from Oz.

The puppet then thought of his own wish: "When I see Oz, besides asking him to send me home, I also want him to turn me into a real boy!"

This is what happened before.

Dorothy listened to Aurora's words, looked at the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Wooden Man and the Lion behind her, thought carefully and said:

"I don't think any of the new members of our team are special? " "Well, it should be the lion? Because it is the only one with flesh and blood, or an animal? The other new members are either made of straw, steel, or wood.

"But don't forget that Toto is also a small animal."

Toto was the name of Dorothy's dog.

Aurora thought that what Dorothy said seemed to make sense.

Although she vaguely felt that Pinocchio did not belong to this team, she could not find a reason - maybe it was because Pinocchio, like her and Dorothy, came from outside Oz, who knows?

"As I said, you two should pray to Oz to become a real, flesh-and-blood person," Pinocchio said to the Tin Man and the Scarecrow. "Wouldn't such a wish give you both a brain and a heart? Well, if Oz is only willing to grant one wish to each person."

At this moment, a cloaked figure blocked the way forward.

"It seems that you want to visit Oz in the Emerald City? Ask him to fulfill your wish?"

"It's a pity that your wishes are doomed to be impossible to realize. That liar will just make up a random excuse or simply drive you away."

said the cloaked figure.

Aurora's eyes froze rapidly after seeing the brown skin and mustache under the hood of the visitor.

Magredo!

"Why is it you?" Aurora placed her hand on the sword at her waist and reminded her teammates:

"This guy is an evil wizard from outside the Land of Oz and is in league with the Wicked Witch of the East!"

Previously in the White Kingdom, Rhine had been secretly monitoring the Witch of the East with birds, discovered her cooperation with Magredo, and informed Aurora.

The subsequent appearance of the German battleship also confirmed this statement.

Pinocchio was startled, the Tin Man took out his axe, the dog Toto yelled at Magredo, and the lion tried to hide - but it was too big to hide behind anyone, so it could only muster up its courage and pretend to be calm.

Magredo saw the alert people and smiled: "It seems that you are very wary of me. But it doesn't matter at all. I came here purely out of good intentions.

“I have come here to tell you that the Lord of Green, the self-proclaimed Great Wizard Oz, is a complete liar who does not know any magic.

"There's no way he can fulfill your wish. Don't be fooled!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Dorothy and her friends were stunned, not knowing whether to believe the stranger in front of them.

How could the great wizard who was revered by all the people in this land be a liar who had no magic? "It's impossible. People say that Oz is so majestic and terrible that the magic of several witches combined cannot match his!" Dorothy questioned, "If he has no magic at all, why do people think he is a great wizard?"

Magredo looked confident:

"I come from outside the Land of Oz, and now I am a wizard in the great empire of Ende, not far from Oz's homeland.

“I checked, that liar named Oz was just a circus magician and balloon pilot, who entertained the audience with his performances.

"His so-called magic is nothing more than some magic tricks. He uses those tricks to make others think he is really a great magician, but in the eyes of people who really know magic, those are all ridiculous things."

Dorothy found this explanation credible, for she had seen circuses and magic shows in her hometown, and those shows looked like magic.

Magredo pursues the victory:

“It just so happens that you are going to visit Oz in the Emerald City and ask him to fulfill your wishes.

“But he definitely doesn’t have the ability to do that, and he’ll probably just make up an excuse to put you off.

"From what I understand, Oz himself will hide behind a screen and use all kinds of magic tricks to deceive you, pretending to be a very scary monster or something else. If you don't understand, you might really be fooled.

"But now that I have reminded you, you will definitely be able to expose his deception!"

“Why are you telling us all this?” asked Dorothy, puzzled. “Do you want anything from us? I have nothing to give you.”

She remembered Aurora said that the other party was an evil magician, so she didn't believe that this magician would do purely good things.

"I don't need anything." Magredo said, "But if you finally uncover Oz's trick, you must tell everyone in the city that they have all been deceived by Oz!

"All you have to do is tell us everything that you have seen!"

The Tin Man, the Scarecrow, Pinocchio, the Lion, and Dorothy looked at each other, apparently beginning to believe what Magredo said.

——They all have wishes that need to be fulfilled by Oz! If Oz is really a liar, then he can't help them.

"Are you done with your nonsense?" Aurora said coldly, glaring at Magredo and drawing the sword from her waist.
