Chapter 108 This poisoned apple is really delicious.

"It's too suspicious to sell things in this remote place." Aurora thought, "Besides, it's not something I need. It's not a necessity, why should I buy it?"

The queen was anxious.

What's wrong with you, little girl? Can you please not be so vigilant?

Can you be more curious like a little girl? The queen knocked on the window nervously, making a crisp sound.

"Just try it. Little girl, you are so beautiful, I will give you a ribbon for free."

"Giving it away for free makes it look even more suspicious..." Aurora thought with narrowed eyes, looking suspiciously at the old woman disguised as the queen.

Rhine, who was in the room, heard the conversation between the two and almost laughed out loud.

After quietly performing a divination, his strange sense of humor came to him and he came up with a new idea.

"It's okay. Then I'll buy a ribbon and try."

Rhine opened the window, spent some copper coins to buy the ribbon from the old woman, and tied it around Aurora's neck with his own hands.

When the queen saw this scene, she was so excited that she almost jumped up, and she tried her best to suppress the joy on her face.

"Great, silly boy. You've been a great help to me."

"The ribbon is around Aurora's neck and is strangling her to death!"

"When this girl named Aurora dies, I will become the most beautiful person in the kingdom again!"

The queen laughed wildly in her heart.

However, she waited patiently for a while, but found to her regret: nothing happened.

The blonde girl and the silver-haired boy were still chatting and laughing, showing no signs of being affected at all.

"What's going on?" The queen was confused and muttered in her heart, "Is there something wrong with the magic?"

She looked closely at the ribbon around Aurora's neck - according to the magic she had set, the moment the ribbon was wrapped around her neck, it would immediately tighten and strangle the girl to death.

The ribbon was currently tied perfectly around Aurora's slender neck, and it did seem a little tighter than before.

But that's all.

There was absolutely no strangling effect at all, and the girl's skin showed no signs of being sunken due to contraction.

The queen cursed inwardly:

"Oh no, the magic on the ribbon must have failed to trigger properly! Alas, I haven't practiced magic for too long, and my spells are rusty."

"It's okay, I still have one last trick!"

She placed a large basket of plump apples in front of the window:

"Thank you for buying my ribbon, little girl. Would you like to try another apple?"

Aurora looked at the old woman selling things in the wilderness with caution: "You not only sell ribbons and combs? You even sell apples? Isn't that too much? And you say you sell groceries, but you don't have anything else except a few ribbons, a comb and a basket of apples. Isn't that too strange?"

The queen lowered her head and explained somewhat strainedly, "Well, everything else is sold out."

Before Aurora asked, "Who did you sell it to in this forest?", the queen handed another apple through the window: "Try it quickly, I just picked the apple, it's big, plump, fresh and juicy. Since you bought my ribbon, I'll give you an apple for free."

Aurora looked at the apple doubtfully, then glanced at Rhine. After receiving a response from the latter's eyes, she finally took the apple and took a bite of it.

"She ate it, she ate it!"

The queen was so excited that she almost shouted for joy.

She was sure that Aurora had eaten the outside of the apple.

The poisonous side! "If I wait a few seconds, she will die of the poison," the queen thought, staring at Aurora's face.

Suddenly, Aurora frowned and her body trembled violently.

“This apple…”

"It worked?" The queen took a deep breath and felt delighted.

"So sour." Aurora finished the second half of the sentence.

"Uh..." The queen was silent.

"Maybe the toxin is taking effect slower than I thought?" She waited patiently for another minute or two, but still nothing happened.

"Although it's sour, thank you for the apple, old lady." Aurora put down the apple she had taken a few bites of, and once again looked at the queen who had been standing there with a suspicious look, "So, is there anything else? Why are you staring at me?"

The queen's head was already covered in sweat.

"No, that's a terrible toxin that can make an elephant faint."

"Why is it ineffective?"

"How is it possible that there is no reaction at all?"

She tried to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Old lady, it's almost winter and the weather is very cold. Why are you sweating so much?" Rhine asked with concern.

"Maybe... uh... I've been running around outside for too long. Haha, hahaha." The queen, disguised as an old woman, laughed awkwardly.

"Maybe one of the apples was poisoned? Try another one?"

Just as the queen was thinking this, she saw Rhine take out a copper coin:

"Give me a few more apples. I'll see if every one of them is sour."

The queen was overjoyed, and her favorability towards the silver-haired boy increased dramatically! "Oh my God. You helped me a lot again. It's a good thing to have an ignorant child like you." The queen thought.

She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, "That little girl named Aurora looks so innocent, but she is so alert that it's inconvenient for me to kill her."

"It would be great if she could learn to be as pure and innocent as this silver-haired boy!"

Rhine bought a few more apples, grabbed one and took two big bites - and he actually bit the poisonous side.

"Aurora, this apple tastes really good. It's not only sweet, but also tender and juicy. It seems that the only sour one is the one you ate." Rhine praised the apple in his hand and took several big bites with an extremely satisfied expression.

"Is that so?" Aurora was skeptical. She also picked up an apple and took a bite. "Well, this one is really good."

The two began to discuss the taste of apples. Rhine praised the taste of apples and turned to the queen outside the window:

"Old lady, your apples are really good. Please sell me the whole basket!"

The queen's eyes almost popped out of her sockets when she saw the two children talking and laughing.

What is going on?

Wait a minute, I’m selling poisonous apples, right?

How come you two are eating so enthusiastically?

Looking at the queen who was as dumbfounded as a stone statue, Rhine showed a confused expression:

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What's wrong, old lady? You don't want to sell it to us? It's okay, I can add more money."

"Ahem." The queen finally responded, "Nothing, nothing."

At this time, the queen keenly realized that both Rhine and Aurora had bitten the three apples so far, eating the poisonous side of the basket facing outwards.

Could it be that...

"I must have turned the apple basket the wrong way around!"

"Oh, by the way, Snow White touched my apples while I was away. She must have put the apple basket in the wrong direction!"

"What they eat is actually the non-toxic side."

Rhine looked at the queen, whose face was covered in sweat, and asked with concern:

"Old lady, it looks like the weather outside is really hot. Your face is all sweaty. Otherwise, I'll treat you to the remaining apples and give them to you, old lady."

After saying that, Rhine handed over an apple.

"Come, old woman, have an apple too."

"Okay, okay." The queen nodded nervously, looking at the boy's expectant expression, she knew she had to eat it.

"I'll just eat the sour apple that girl just threw away."

The queen picked up the sour apple that Aurora had taken one bite of and put down at the window, and looked at the half that had been bitten off, unable to eat it again.

"It should be fine. I must have put the apple on the wrong side. This side is the one the girl bit, so it must not be poisonous!"

As the queen thought about it, she took two more bites of the side that Aurora had already bitten.

"Well, this one is indeed quite sour," the queen admitted.

The next moment, her eyes bulged out and her whole body trembled.

The poison has taken effect!

thump.

The queen fell to the ground.

The magic she used to disguise herself was also lifted, revealing her original beauty.

"What is this?" Aurora was surprised.

"Solved. This is so easy."

Rhine smiled and briefly explained the whole story to Aurora.

Just now, the silk ribbon's strangling magic actually worked normally, but it could only strangle ordinary people to death. It was useless against Aurora who was invulnerable to swords and guns.

Honestly speaking, Rhine couldn't be completely sure where the limit of Aurora's blessing of "invulnerable to man-made and natural weapons" was, because he felt that whether a strangling belt could be considered a "weapon" was a gray area, so he deliberately used divination to confirm it once to ensure that there was no mistake.

As for the curse issued by the black witch, "the spindle will pierce Aurora's finger and kill her", the reason why it is effective, Rhine suspects, is because the spindle can only be used as a weaving tool, which is in the gray area of ​​blessing judgment, which is ambiguous, but the existence of curse magic chooses an unfavorable judgment method, allowing the spindle to take effect. Of course, it is also possible that this curse cannot take effect at all.

Anyway, the blessings in epics, fairy tales and myths always highlight the needs of the plot, so there is no need to be literal.

As for the poisoned apple, Rhine was not worried at all, because he and Aurora had been immune to all poisons since they ate the precious plant roots given by the sea witch.

"What a pity," Rhine thought as he looked at the unconscious queen lying on the ground, "The queen is not immune to all poisons. She won't be so lucky after eating the poisoned apple."

Aurora walked over and observed the queen on the ground:

"She was clearly still breathing and not actually dead."

Rhine was not surprised by this.

He knew that according to the original story, after Snow White ate the poisoned apple, she only fell into a coma. After Prince Charming kissed Snow White, she woke up.

Wait, why is it so similar to the original fate of Sleeping Beauty Aurora!

There are many similarities between fairy tales.

"So, what should we do with this bad queen?"

Aurora looked at the unconscious queen on the ground and was suddenly in trouble.

"Since she wants to kill us. How about we just kill her like this?"

Insomnia is particularly serious, I need to find a solution
