Chapter 161 The Curse of the Four-Colored Fish
The crystal ball glowed with a deep blue light, and lines of words appeared:
“A powerful magic cursed the Land of Oz. These four different colored fish are the people from the four directions of the Land of Oz.
"The Munchkins of the East liked the color blue and became blue fish; the Winkies of the West liked the color yellow and became yellow fish; the Guetrins of the South liked the color red and became red fish..."
Rhine looked at Oz solemnly and said, "A powerful magician cast a spell and turned your country into this wilderness, mountains and lakes, and turned all the people in the country into fish."
Oz turned pale with fright.
"All of Oz?"
He originally thought that only the Emerald City was affected, but Rhine told him that the entire country was cursed!
"But, the Land of Oz is so big, how come there is only such a wilderness? Everyone is scattered all over the world, how come they are all concentrated in such a lake?" Oz's eyes widened.
Rhine sighed:
"This is magic. It turns big things into small things, even if the object of transformation is an entire country. Even if it would take a long time to cross the entire country, now there is only a wilderness and a lake."
Seeing the scene in front of him and looking at the poor fish in the lake looking at him and Oz eagerly, Rhine narrowed his eyes.
The story replayed in his mind.
"Four Colored Fishes" from "One Thousand and One Nights"! - In this Arabian story, the villain witch was originally the wife of a young king. She was caught having an affair with a black slave. In order to avenge her husband, the witch cast a spell and turned his lower body into stone, and turned all the people in the country into fish!
After being enchanted, space and geography also changed, so that the distance between the two capitals, which originally took a full year to travel, was reduced to a few days! Aurora was also stunned and looked around in the center of the wilderness, almost unable to believe her eyes: "Did Maleficent do this?"
Rhine shook his head:
“No, Maleficent doesn’t seem to be good at this kind of transformation magic.
"I think another witch from the coven might have helped her."
Rhine remembered the code name of a member of the Witch Society -
[Middle Eastern Witch]! The Eastern Witch's malicious transformation technique seemed to be learned from her! Now, he could conclude that the true identity of the [Middle Eastern Witch] of the Witch Society was the villain witch in "Four Color Fish"!
"Teacher, please help me, save this country." Oz was so anxious that he seemed to be crying, and pleaded with Rhine.
Rhine quickly thought about how to solve the current dilemma: "If our enemy is really that witch, there is indeed a solution to the current situation..."
According to the original work, although the witch's magic power was powerful enough to change an entire country and distort thousands of miles of space, she was ultimately a mortal.
Any ordinary warrior could kill her with a sword if caught off guard!
On this continent, there are actually quite a few extreme magicians who have amazing magical powers but lack the ability to protect themselves.
Not every magician can sense danger and teleport and dodge like Rhine; or transform her body into a dragon like Maleficent; or be able to be resurrected after death like the old witch in Endeavour.
"The only other question is, I wonder if the [Middle Eastern witch] has learned any self-protection magic from daily interactions with the witch society?"
"And where is the witch who cast the spell now?"
Just as Rhine was about to try to find the whereabouts of the Middle Eastern witch, he heard the roar of a giant dragon in the sky.
The strong wind blew away the clouds in the sky.
A black dragon as big as a hill flew across the sky, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
The black witch Maleficent! King Oz trembled and shrank behind Rhine.
With a crisp metallic sound, Aurora drew her sword and stood guard beside Rhine.
The terrifying black dragon hovered in the air, and a woman's voice uttered from its mouth: "It seems that you are in unprecedented trouble! "What's the point of turning Oz into this?" Rhine raised his chin calmly.
Now he is no longer afraid of Maleficent!
The boy opened his arms and released the most vast magic power.
All over the wilderness, the trees came alive, uprooted themselves, and became loyal guards. The mountains came alive, too, with human faces appearing on their peaks, and the entire mountain range was moving, with its hands made of giant rocks raised.
In the sky, millions of flying birds appeared out of nowhere, turning into a large black mass that instantly covered the sky. Millions of birds chirped together, making the sky and the earth tremble.
When Hei Long saw this scene, his eyes were fixed, and he obviously had not expected this. Her voice was filled with a bit of malice and resentment:
"I never thought that your magic would become even more powerful in such a short time. I should have killed you that night more than 10 years ago!"
The black dragon spoke loudly in the air to the people below: “I used the mirror as a medium to let the [Middle Eastern Witch] of the Witch Association cast a spell remotely to transform this country.
"No one can remove this curse unless she is willing. Even if you kill her, it will be the same! " "You definitely don't want to see this country cursed forever, and all the people in the country turned into fish forever."
Under the slightly surprised gazes of Aurora and Rhine, Maleficent turned back into human form, floated in the air, and pulled out a strand of black hair with her backhand:
"If you refuse my next request, I will curse that Middle Eastern witch remotely. Once the curser dies, Oz will never be able to return to its original state."
Aurora was startled, and Rhine's calm expression also moved slightly.
Maleficent was so vicious that she was prepared to sacrifice the lives of her colleagues in order to threaten them!
Aurora stared at the air warily: "What do you want to threaten us with?"
Maleficent, who had transformed back into a giant dragon, looked at Aurora and laughed sweetly, with a hint of malice in her cold tone:
"My beautiful little princess, what threats are you talking about? I'm obviously trying to help you and give you a chance to prove yourself!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Don't you want to kill me with your own hands? "Now, I'll give you this chance! "Pick up your sword and fight me in a fair one-on-one duel!"
The black dragon glanced at Rhine next to him and said coldly:
"That pesky magician is not allowed to interfere!"
So that's it. Maleficent is holding the entire country hostage in order to fight me one on one. Is she confident that she won't lose to me in a one-on-one duel? Aurora understood the other party's intention and hesitated.
The black dragon laughed crazily: "How is it? " "My lovely little princess. This is your chance to kill me with your own hands and lift the curse on the Kingdom of Rose!"
"Do you want to miss this opportunity?
"Or do you dare to swing your sword at me only when your teacher has your back to you?"
Aurora snorted.
She knew clearly that the other party was provoking her, but she didn't know how to make an effective rebuttal.
Oz saw Aurora's hesitation and tried to dissuade her: "No! That evil witch must be deceiving you. Don't agree to her terms!"
Aurora looked at Rhine beside her with a little hesitation, waiting for the teacher to say, "Aurora, don't act on impulse, don't trust Maleficent, and refuse this duel."
"Aurora, I think you can consider Maleficent's request."
Rhine's answer surprised Aurora.
Teacher, isn't it?
Shouldn't you advise me?
"Aurora, this is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to kill Maleficent with my own hands. At that time, in the sea between the White Kingdom and the West Asia Kingdom, when I was about to defeat Maleficent, I felt a little regretful because the person who should have killed her with my own hands was you."
Rhine's tone was calm, as if he took it for granted that Aurora would win.
"But..." Aurora hesitated.
She had no confidence that she could defeat the dragon that Maleficent had transformed into on her own.
But the teacher must have a deep meaning behind what he said! …
Note: Different curses have different conditions for removing them. The curse of Rose Kingdom requires "killing the caster", while the curse of Four-Colored Fish requires "the caster must remove it voluntarily", so killing the caster is useless.
My eyes hurt every time I look at the computer these days. I have to close my eyes after just two minutes. On the contrary, it is a little better when I use my mobile phone. I don't know why this is happening. I need to see a doctor during this period.
