Chapter 153: Aurora and Oz are senior and junior brothers and sisters?
The palace of the Emerald City.
Over the past few weeks, servants have occasionally heard strange incantations and various inexplicable noises coming from deep within the palace.
However, the servants did not find this strange.
The great Oz is an unfathomable and ever-changing wizard, and any noise coming from his palace is understandable!
What they don’t know is that inside the room, the great wizard Oz has actually just started learning magic!
When Rhine first met Oz in the palace of the Emerald City, he quickly performed a divination to confirm whether Oz had the talent to learn magic.
Soon, he came to the conclusion: Oz did have talent in this area, although it was far inferior to his own. Compared with most outstanding magicians, he could only be regarded as dull.
But with careful instruction, at least becoming a magician is no problem!
"He is indeed a child of destiny. He does have his strengths," Rhine thought.
So, in the following time, Rhine, the great magician, taught Oz hand in hand.
As a "wish magician", even if Rhine learns new magic by fulfilling wishes, he can understand the corresponding principles and knowledge, and can also teach this magic to others.
Rhine even took out the "Book of Transfiguration and Summoning" which he had used when he first learned magic, as a teaching material for Oz to learn.
With the careful guidance of this powerful magician, Oz, who is already quite old, made rapid progress.
In just a few days, he was able to make a book float in the air. Later, he began to practice more complex spells.
"Oh my god. I can't believe this is something I can do!"
At this moment, Oz was waving his hands rhythmically like a conductor of a music band.
All the furniture in the room came alive and started dancing at his command.
The feather pen wrote on the paper by itself, the unmanned piano played by itself, and the flowers in the potted plants withered and bloomed again.
Oz swiped his finger in the air again, drawing out colorful, harmless flames.
"This is incredible. I never thought that I could learn magic!"
"In the past, I could only rely on magic tricks and various sleight of hand to achieve similar effects."
This skinny old man is now as excited as a child who has got a new toy.
Looking at the magical scene in the house, Oz thought of his past in the Kingdom of Rose and his brother who was a court craftsman.
He remembered that he hated the fate of his family being craftsmen for generations, and he had longed for the powerful magicians in the legendary stories since he was a child. He remembered how he imagined himself to be a powerful magician, like the 13 witches in the kingdom, with the magical power to distort reality! He also remembered how he realized that he was just one of the common people when he grew up, until his old dream was finally buried by reality.
He remembered why he had studied magic - because it was the closest thing he could do to being a magician.
He thought back to the days when he performed in the circus, and how he used chemical reactions, stage lighting and special performance techniques to invent hundreds of new magic tricks, gradually becoming the best magician of the time.
He recalled that when he was standing on the stage, watching the male and female audiences below praising him and screaming for his magic show, watching the flowers thrown at him and the thunderous applause, Oz could not help but think of his childhood dream: "At this moment, I am like a real magician."
"This is probably the moment in my life when I feel most like a magician."
And now, my childhood dream has come true.
Oz's nose felt a little sour.
The elderly man giggled and announced happily, like a child showing off to his parents: "I am a magician now. I am a real magician!"
Seeing Oz's rapid progress, Rhine nodded with satisfaction: "From now on, you are no longer a liar. You are indeed a real magician, and indeed a disciple of the great magician Rhine.
“I once heard a famous saying: The only way for a lie to remain undetected is to make it true.”
Oz nodded excitedly and expressed many words of thanks to Rhine.
Rhine knew that the reason why Oz had made such rapid progress in such a short time was not only due to his teacher's teaching, but also because of his passion for magic. And interest is the best teacher.
"Come to think of it, I do seem to have a talent for teaching people magic. I never realized it before."
"After killing Maleficent and lifting the curse on the Rose Kingdom, and having enough time, I can consider teaching Aurora magic systematically."
"In the past, Aurora has always focused on melee combat, which she is better at, but in the field of magic, her talent is actually not bad."
"If I find the founder of the Witch Society in the future and really learn from her how to return to Earth, it means that I am destined to leave this world. I can completely let Aurora be my successor in magic..."
At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door outside the house, pulling Rhine back from his thoughts.
"Oz the Great and Terrible, a strange group of people have arrived in the Emerald City and want to visit you!"
Oz used his ventriloquism skills as a magician, pretending to have a deep, heavy, layered and ethereal voice: "Tell me, who are they?"
"This team includes: two little girls who claim to be from the Land of Oz, a scarecrow, a tin man, a wooden man, and a lion."
"What a strange team." Oz couldn't help but complain in his heart and looked at Rhine beside him.
Rhine smiled and said, "Oz, please agree to their visit request as soon as possible."
"Do you know them? Who are they?" Oz looked puzzled.
"Your junior sister - or maybe senior sister, and her new friend." Rhine shrugged with a smile.

…
At this time, Aurora, Dorothy and their group were walking on the streets of the Emerald City.
They, including the lion, all wore green glasses, and through their emerald green eyes, they were immediately attracted by the dazzling light of this magical city.
Everything here is green.
The houses lining the street are all built of green marble and decorated with sparkling emeralds. The windows are also made of crystal clear green glass that emits a faint green light.
The store is filled with a wide variety of merchandise, including green candies, green lemonade, green shoes and green hats.
They walked on the sidewalk paved with emerald green stones and jade, watching the jade on the ground sparkling in the sun and seeing that passers-by were all wearing green clothes.
"Ah, lion, there is a lion here!" A child saw the lion and ran away in panic.
Aurora and Dorothy could only go up to comfort him and tell him that the lion would not bite anyone and might be even more timid than him.
There were no horses or other domestic animals on the streets. People pulled goods on green two-wheeled trucks, ate green biscuits, and children waved green toys in their hands. Everyone's face was full of satisfaction and happiness.
"This is such a peaceful and happy city!" Aurora exclaimed.
And the King named Oz - no matter if he is a great wizard or not, he can manage this city in an orderly manner and make everyone live happily. At least he is an excellent king, Aurora thought.
"The Great Oz has promised to see you."
In front of the palace gate, the soldier who led the group through the Emerald City said.
"According to the usual rules, others who want to visit the great Oz must take turns, and only one person can see him every day. Because as an ever-changing magician, Oz will appear in a different image in front of each person." said the soldier.
"But today, the Great Oz has made an exception and agreed for all of you to meet him together!"
Dorothy jumped for joy.
It would definitely be much more convenient to go to see Oz with my companions than to spend several days.
"Great, take us to see Oz." Pinocchio said impatiently.
He had long forgotten the fact that Magredo had previously said that Oz might not know magic at all.
The soldier led them to some beautiful rooms.
"You rest inside for a few hours. The great Oz will summon you soon." After saying this, the soldier was about to leave.
Aurora was not really interested in meeting Oz. She followed her companions to the Emerald City mainly to find her teacher. She stopped the soldier who was about to leave and said, "By the way, has a magician named Rhine appeared in the Emerald City recently? He probably looks like this..."
Aurora was about to describe Rhine's appearance when she saw the soldier's eyes light up: "Are you talking about Rhine, the teacher of the Great Oz, the even greater magician?"
