Chapter 163 The Curious Four-Colored Fish
While Aurora and Maleficent were dueling, Rhine went alone to the location of the Middle Eastern witch according to the information provided by the magic mirror.
He still remembered Aurora's promise before leaving:
"I will defeat the black witch Maleficent, or at least hold her back with all my strength!"
Rhine's mission is to find the Middle Eastern witch who cast the curse while the two are engaged in a fateful battle, and ask her to lift the curse of Oz!
As for how to get the Middle Eastern witch to lift the curse on her own initiative, Rhine has his own way.
The scene around me changed rapidly.
In a blink of an eye, Rhine had arrived near a magnificent palace and was in a quiet and beautiful garden.
"This is the Kingdom of Alamed. The old King Mahmud has just passed away. The young prince succeeded to the throne and married his cousin as queen."
"And his cousin, the new king's queen, actually secretly practices powerful witchcraft. She is the Middle Eastern witch from the Witch Society!"
Rhine quickly went over the information given by the magic mirror in his mind.
He transformed himself into a small flying insect and easily sneaked into the palace.
Rhine turned into a small fly and flew into the bedroom. He saw two palace maids having nothing to do and talking quietly in the corner.
I only heard one maiden say to another: “Our king is young and talented, virtuous and gifted, but it’s so pitiful that he married such a bad woman!”
Another maid was also indignant:
"May the gods curse that unfaithful woman! Our king is so careless that he has never checked what the queen is doing behind her back."
The two palace maids exchanged glances halfway through their conversation, and stopped talking as they understood what was going on, knowing that this was a very sensitive matter.
If someone who doesn't know the inside story hears the conversation between the two palace maids, he will definitely not be able to understand the cause and effect, and can only guess something from the limited information.
However, Rhine had already read this bizarre story from One Thousand and One Nights, so he naturally understood what the two were talking about.
It turned out that the Middle Eastern witch, as a witch, naturally knew how to mix anesthetic potions. Every night, she would put drugs in the young king's wine, making her husband fall asleep.
After the king fell asleep, the Middle Eastern witch would put on heavy makeup, sneak out of the house, and not return until dawn.
During this period, she actually went to meet her lover, an ugly black slave.
The Middle Eastern witch is gentle, elegant, and well-educated in front of the king, and she is also a generous and decent queen in front of others.
But in front of the black slave, the Middle Eastern witch was extremely humble, obeyed his orders, served him kindly, and let the black slave beat her and scold her, and made her drink soup and bones, without any complaints.
As for the subsequent development of the story, Rhine also knows:
Finally one day, the young king discovered the affair between the witch and the slave. In a rage, the king hacked the slave to death. Unexpectedly, his wife took care of her lover for three years without leaving him.
Until the end, the conflict broke out completely, and the witch found out that the person who had stabbed her lover was actually her husband.
She used magic to curse the young king, turning his lower body into stone, and then used a terrible spell to distort the kingdom, turning all the people in the kingdom into fish.
Citizens of four different beliefs turned into fish of four different colors.
It was not until many years later that the fisherman who salvaged the devil's bottle presented the four-colored fish to the king of a neighboring country, and the truth was exposed. The righteous king of the neighboring country found out the truth and tricked the witch into lifting the curse.
"No matter from which angle you look at it, this story is too bizarre!"
Rhine couldn't help but mutter in his heart as he quickly recalled the story.
"A witch, married to a cousin she dislikes, secretly having affairs with a lowly lover, and living in fear of being discovered."
"Well, this is a witch whose magic is so powerful that she can wipe out an entire kingdom in an instant..."
Rhine felt an urge to complain.
However, judging from the current situation, the timeline is still at the stage where the king has not yet discovered his wife's secret, the conflict has not yet broken out, and the catastrophe that swept the entire kingdom has not yet arrived.
At this time, Rhine, who had turned into a flying insect, flew across the corridor and saw a woman wearing expensive silk clothes and heavy makeup walking hurriedly.
Her face was exactly the same as what the magic mirror had shown before; it was the Middle Eastern witch!
The Middle Eastern witch did not notice that Rhine had turned into a flying insect and slipped out of the palace.
"I was lucky. I happened to see her on her way to have a private meeting with that black slave."
Rhine found a corner, turned back into his original form, took out the crystal ball, and did a quick divination. He found out that the black slave was now in an abandoned and dilapidated castle.
"Haha, you're in a hurry to see your lover, but unfortunately I'm faster than you!"
Rhine's heels, wearing the magic silver shoes, touched each other lightly, and his figure disappeared in a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye he arrived at the dilapidated castle where the black slave was.
The big black man was lying on a thin layer of reeds, snoring loudly.
He had a fierce face and two thick lips. The upper lip was like the cap of a steep mountain, and the lower lip was like flat ground. His snoring sounded like thunder.

"I don't know why the Middle Eastern witch fell in love with him..."
Rhine knew that the author of the story probably intended to depict the queen's cheating lover as an ugly black slave.
But now that he was personally involved in this story, he couldn't help but grumble to himself.
Seeing that the black slave was still sleeping soundly, Rhine raised his right hand and rubbed the ring on his index finger.
This ring was a trophy seized from Magrido. It has magical powers and can summon a ring elf.
Although the ring elf is not good at fighting, it has many abilities and can be considered a weakened version of the genie of the magic lamp.
In the original story of "Aladdin", after Aladdin lost the magic lamp, he relied on the power of this magic ring to escape the crisis.
A majestic giant shadow appeared in front of Rhine. It was the elf living in the ring.
When the elf saw Rhine, he said respectfully, "Great legendary magician Rhine, do you have any instructions?"
Rhine gave the order to the huge phantom of the god and monster:
"I order you to move this sleeping black man to another place, and do not let him wake up for the next period of time."
"Great master, everything is as you wish." The majestic giant shadow nodded and bowed to Rhine and answered respectfully.
A gust of wind blew by, and the black slave on the straw mat disappeared.
Rhine put the giant spirit back into the ring and took out a bottle of pink pocket perfume.
【Wrong love】
This perfume once helped Aurora disguise herself as the Queen of the White Kingdom, and now it will be put to good use again.
Rhine lay on the straw mat where the black man had just slept, dripped a drop of perfume on his body, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Middle Eastern witch.
Rhine is well aware of the four-colored fish curse that hit the Land of Oz. Even killing the victim cannot end it, and it can only be lifted by a Middle Eastern witch herself.
And in this world, the Middle Eastern witch is only humble and obedient to one person, and that is the black slave lover!
But after a minute or two, the door of the dilapidated castle was pushed open and a cool breeze blew in.
A Middle Eastern witch wearing heavy makeup came in. When she saw Rhine lying on the straw mat, she mistook him for her lover: "My master, here comes your humble servant."
