Chapter 1: The Kingdom of Sleeping Beauty
A long, long time ago, there was a kingdom called Rose.
One day, a little magician named Rhine came to the forest of the kingdom.
It is said that this magician can make withered flowers bloom again and command harps to play on their own.
He is also good at mixing magical potions to cure diseases and injuries.
Many poor people who cannot afford medical treatment would come to the magician for treatment if they unfortunately broke their legs or fell ill.
Rhine's herbs are extremely magical. No matter whether it is various difficult and complicated diseases or serious fractures and falls, as long as they are treated by him, they will recover quickly.
In this way, Rhine's reputation gradually spread and finally reached the royal palace.
The king and queen had been married for many years but had no children.
They wanted very much to have a child, but were unable to do so.
At this time, the king heard the story of Rhine and summoned the little magician.
…
Sitting in the carriage leading to the palace, the boy looked at his reflection in the glass and couldn't help but fall into memories.
Rhine's face was reflected in the glass.
The young man was wearing a classical robe, his face was delicate and beautiful, and he looked only twelve or thirteen years old.
His silver hair was wrapped in a hood, his pale eyes were filled with a cold light, and his skin was so pale that it was almost crystal clear, like a child who had walked out of a fairy tale book.
"It's been several years since I came to this world, and my appearance hasn't changed at all..."
"Not only have I become a magician, but I have also become an immortal?"
Rhine sighed softly.
Three years ago, he came to this medieval-like world.
The little knowledge he gained after traveling through time told him that this was a fantasy world with real supernatural powers and magic that was almost omnipotent.
Legend has it that a powerful magician can turn all the people in an entire country into animals with just one spell!
It was like a story from One Thousand and One Nights! In the kingdom alone, there were more than a dozen witches with great magical powers.
They have great magical powers and can call the wind and rain and summon the spirits of nature to serve them.
Fortunately, perhaps because he did a lot of good things in his previous life, Rhine became a magician directly after traveling through time.
Travel to a fantasy world and become a real magician.
Such a perfect start made Rhine very happy! However, just when Rhine thought that he was as powerful as those legendary magicians, he found that it was not the case at all!
The newly born Rhine was extremely weak. It could not fly, call the wind and rain, and could not predict the future.
As a magician, his magic power was extremely weak at first and he could only perform a few small tricks.
Apart from this, his only skill is to mix magical potions with herbs - just like the wizards and witches in many fairy tales and myths.
Fortunately, as a benefit of traveling through time, Rhine also learned a way to "upgrade":
As long as you find the "Child of Destiny" and help these destined protagonists realize their wishes, you can absorb the power of will that carries the fate of the world, increase your magic power, and gain new abilities!
Of course, even if you can't find the "child of destiny", you can still absorb a little bit of wish power by just helping ordinary passers-by realize their wishes.
However, the effect is greatly reduced, perhaps only one thousandth or one ten-thousandth of the effect, and a very large base is required to see a significant improvement.
As for what it means to be the "protagonist of destiny", Rhine doesn't know.
Because he didn't know where to find the so-called protagonist of destiny, Rhine just helped others casually, trying to find the legendary protagonist of destiny among them.
Over the past three years, he has tried his best to use his expertise to mix potions, cure illnesses and injuries for the people in the kingdom and fulfill their wishes of "recovering health."
A true magician is willing to live in the countryside, treating civilians every day and collecting only symbolic and small payments.
For poor patients, it is even completely free, without asking for anything in return! Such a good thing sounds like a fairy tale, it is simply unbelievable.
Many people were skeptical when they first heard this rumor.
It was not until they saw with their own eyes that their seriously ill relatives recovered the next day after taking Rhine's medicine that they believed it without a doubt and were moved to tears.
As one miracle after another happened, Rhine's good name and reputation gradually spread throughout the kingdom.
Many people with serious illnesses even traveled thousands of miles and asked their families to take them to the cabin where Rhine lived, just to take the medicine of this legendary little magician.
Three years passed in a flash.
To this day, Rhine's fame has reached the royal palace and he has been summoned by the king himself.
…
On the bumpy carriage leading to the palace.
Rhine turned his palm upward, and a pure white, tranquil light slowly flowed out, as if it could heal everything.
The art of healing.
This is a new magic that Rhine has comprehended after helping thousands of people in the past three years and absorbing their wishes.
"Since the wish to restore health was fulfilled, does that mean the magic I gained is also healing magic?"
"My magic power is much stronger than it was three years ago. Unfortunately, apart from healing magic, I only know a few tricks. I am so far behind the witches in the kingdom's legends..."
Rhine sighed silently as he felt the power flowing through his body.
"Alas, I still haven't found the so-called protagonist of destiny. I don't know what kind of person is the protagonist of destiny?"
For the past three years, Rhine has been secretly expecting that one day the person who comes to see him for treatment will be the so-called "protagonist of destiny". After completing the treatment, he suddenly finds that he has gained an overflowing amount of wish power.
Unfortunately, until today, Rhine has not met the "protagonist of destiny" who meets the requirements.
Thinking of this, the boy glanced at the fully armed soldiers guarding outside the carriage and suddenly found it a little funny:
Although he is a real magician, he can only perform a few tricks and healing magic, and his body is at the level of a child.
Any one of the soldiers in this team could suddenly jump up and kill him with one sword.
"I am a very weak magician. When it comes to fighting, I am no better than any ordinary adult. I don't even have a combat power of 5."
"If I could find the so-called protagonist of destiny, how could I have fallen to this point!"
The young man spread his hands, looking helpless and hopeless.
…
The carriage stopped in front of the palace.
Rhine gathered his scattered mind, walked into the magnificent palace, and saluted the king and queen sitting on the throne.
The old king spoke:
"Sage of the woods, your fame is known among fires and wells.
"I heard that your medical skills are comparable to those of the best doctors and that you have cured thousands of patients."
Before Rhine could ask why he was summoned, the king's face darkened again, revealing his vicissitudes and helplessness:
"The queen and I have been married for many years and have always wanted a child, but have not been able to do so.
"I am getting older, and my vast kingdom needs a successor.
"Sage of the forest, can you fulfill our wish?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The little magician immediately understood the purpose of the king summoning him.
He is here to treat infertility! Rhine was about to think about it, when his whole body suddenly shook, as if he felt an extremely powerful force.
The surging power came from the throne.
It is the power of desire.
An unprecedentedly powerful wish! Far more than any patient Rhine had seen in the past three years! "Such a huge wish..."
Rhine understood the answer in an instant.
"Child of Destiny!"
"The king and queen are the protagonists of fate?"
He had no doubt that as long as he could perfectly fulfill the wishes of the king and queen, the power of wishes he could absorb would certainly far exceed the slow accumulation of the past three years!
Rhine was shocked.
He never thought that the protagonist of destiny, whom he had been waiting for, would actually run into him today.
The king and queen's wish to "give birth to a child" must be fulfilled no matter how difficult it is!
The young magician lowered his head, thinking: He didn't know any other magic, but mixing potions and healing magic happened to be his strengths.
Normally, he could cure the king and queen's illnesses by simply raising his hand.
However, Rhine is concerned about:
In a magical world with extraordinary power, is the birth of a new life a purely medical issue? Seeing the deep expression of the handsome young man at the bottom of the stairs, the old king comforted him:
“The wise man in the forest does not need to be afraid or blame himself even if he cannot do it.
"There are 13 powerful witches in my kingdom. I summoned 12 of them to the palace one by one and raised the same problem.
“But all 12 of them were helpless.
"Even if you can't do anything, I won't blame you."
Having said this, the old king's face darkened even more.
Yes, even those 12 powerful witches couldn't do it.
How likely is it that a rookie magician who looks so young and has only recently gained fame among the common people can work miracles?
It's nothing more than a last-ditch effort, just a last try of luck.
13 witches? Only 12 were summoned? The king's words at this moment made Rhine tremble all over.
He had heard that there were several powerful witches in the kingdom, but he didn't know the exact number.
Suddenly, Rhine remembered something.
An astonishing guess came to my mind.
My back felt slightly numb.
This is a magical fantasy world...
Is it possible that…
He quickly asked:
"Your Majesty, if there are 13 witches in the kingdom, why only summon 12?"
The old king did not notice Rhine's thoughts and answered naturally: "Among the 13 witches, the most powerful Maleficent is a black witch.
"What she is best at is horrible curses and black magic. The princes and nobles are all afraid of her."
Rhine's eyes narrowed.
It is true!
There are 12 good witches and 1 black witch in the kingdom.
A king and queen who longed for children.
I didn't travel to an ordinary fantasy world . This is the kingdom of Sleeping Beauty!
Explain why this book had no chapters before.
This is a mechanism of Qidian. It seems to be called "pre-collection".
To put it simply, you can reserve the title of the book before it is officially released, and big names with fans can also collect it in advance.
Moreover, when the book is officially published, it does not need to be reviewed for a long time.
Since it was free, I tried it.
I didn’t advertise the new book anywhere else. But it seems that many people found this book with only the title directly through my author account.
Originally, after the pre-collection, the plan was to officially publish the book within a month, but it was interrupted by various messy things, so the book is only published now. 5555 (End of this chapter)
