Chapter 154 Shocked Dorothy

What?

Aurora was stunned after hearing the soldier's words.

This answer was totally beyond her expectations.

Not only Aurora, but her companions were also stunned.

The soldier opened his arms and said vividly: "Not long ago, the Great Oz's teacher, the magician Rhine, also came to the Emerald City to meet his students. The two magicians have been together all day recently."

Aurora was confused. She asked the soldier, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course," the soldier said vividly, "all the soldiers in the city know it!"

"What does Oz's teacher, the magician named Rhine, look like?" Aurora confirmed again, fearing that there might be a duplicate name.

The soldier answered quite naturally, with awe in his tone:

"As an ever-changing magician, the great Rhine must have many different appearances, but this time, he appeared as a handsome boy with silver hair."

It really is the teacher! Aurora was horrified.

Why have I never heard the teacher say that he has a student? She was confused.

"However, the teacher was already a magician long before I was born. Maybe he had a student at that time?" Aurora couldn't help but think of this possibility.

Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, Pinocchio, and the Lion all looked very shocked as they watched the soldiers walk away.

Several companions all looked at Aurora and surrounded her like a group of stars surrounding the moon.

"It turns out that the great magician Rhine, who gave me life, has this identity as well." Pinocchio exclaimed.

Dorothy tilted her head and thought for a long time before she figured out the relationship between Aurora, Oz, and Rhine.

She widened her eyes, looked at Aurora in disbelief, and said in an admiring tone:

"Aurora, you never told us that your teacher is also the teacher of the Great Wizard Oz!"

I didn’t know that before… Aurora also looked confused.

"Well," said Dorothy, " that means, Aurora, that you and King Oz are of the same generation! Oz is your elder brother, isn't he?"

Dorothy was pleased with herself for having been able to work out this relationship.

This was not an easy thing for Dorothy—

She had to rack her brains to connect Aurora, a girl of the same age as herself, with people with titles such as "Monarch of Oz" and "The Great Wizard", and regard them as brothers and sisters.

Dorothy made a quick deduction: "Since Oz is your teacher's student, and your teacher is a great wizard, then Oz must also be a real wizard!

"So that means the brown-skinned evil wizard was lying to us?"

Aurora scratched her head in confusion: "Maybe."

Everyone was very happy.

"Since Oz is a real great wizard, he can definitely give me a smart brain." said the Scarecrow happily.

“And my heart,” said the Tin Woodman.

He thought of the Munchkin girl he loved and whom he could marry if he only had a heart.

"And my courage," said the Lion.

Aurora suspected that they thought the magician was an omnipotent person, but she didn't point it out.

Although Aurora was reluctant to admit it, after learning that her teacher was also Oz's teacher, she felt a little proud and complacent when she saw the surprised expressions of her companions.

She made a bet with the Witch of the North out of anger, saying that her teacher's magic was better than Oz's, and she won the bet! "In fact, I just said a few angry words at that time. There is no need for the Witch of the North to really apologize to me."

Aurora thought of the kind old woman and muttered to herself, planning to pretend to forget about it the next time she saw the Witch of the North.

In this way, everyone happily returned to their respective rooms and waited for Oz's summons.

This little room is so pretty and lovely! There is a soft and comfortable bed, beautiful silk clothes in the closet, and a small green bookshelf on the windowsill.

Dorothy took out a book at random and found it was full of all kinds of beautiful pictures, as well as many strange and interesting stories, which made her laugh out loud.

"I love it here so much!" Dorothy threw herself on the soft bed, reading a book and laughing.

Aurora was assigned a similar room.

But unlike Dorothy's peers, she had no interest in the things in the room, whether it was a soft bed or a picture book with a bizarre story.

Her journey itself is much more exciting than those picture books!

Aurora lay on the bed, feeling the softness and comfort from behind, still thinking about what she had just said.

"Did the teacher really have an apprentice wizard named Oz before I was born, or at least before I grew up?"

Aurora turned over while thinking, and suddenly saw Rhine sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at her with a smile.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Teacher? You are here? You are really in this palace with Oz? Is he really your student?"

Rhine smiled and said, "Come with me to see Oz, and then you will understand everything."

He placed his hand on Aurora's shoulder, and the two of them quickly faded away and disappeared into the room.

Not long after, when Aurora returned to the room, she already knew the whole story.

…

A few hours later.

The soldier who had just left came back and told Dorothy, Aurora and their companions that Oz was going to summon them.

So, everyone followed a girl in green clothes to a spacious and magnificent hall in the palace.

This was an empty and beautiful Emerald Hall, filled with ladies and gentlemen of the court, dressed in gorgeous and expensive clothes, sitting in their respective seats and chatting with each other.

"Are they the members of the Court of Oz?"

Dorothy thought about it and turned her head to ask a noble lady who was drinking tea: "Excuse me, have you seen the great Oz? What does the king and great wizard look like?"

The lady put down the green tea in her hand and shook her head. "No, I am like most people here. I have never been allowed to go to the Great Oz, but we still have to come to the morning court every morning."

Another minister added: "Even at court, only a few people have ever seen Oz. It is said that the terrible Oz appears in different forms to different people - after all, he is a magician with a thousand changes."

Another gentleman lowered his voice and said to them in disbelief: “Are you really going to see the Great and Terrible Oz?”

Dorothy listened to the ministers' words, her thoughts in a tizzy.

If she knew nothing and heard these words, she would definitely think that Oz was very scary and strange, and even the ministers of the court had never seen him! But now, Dorothy remembered Maglido's words and suspected that Oz's scaryness was just a disguise.

"Forget it. Whether Oz is a great wizard or not, he and Aurora have the same teacher."

"Since Aurora is so cute, I hope Oz is also an easy person to get along with."

Dorothy prayed silently.

At this time, a bell rang.

The girl who led the way said to Dorothy and her companions, “This is a signal from Oz that he wants to see you. You may go in.”
