Chapter 117 Henry is the Prince Charming?
The Eastern Witch recited a spell.
Bang, bang, bang, clouds of black mist surged up.
All the men, women, young and old who were talking and laughing just now turned into fish.
The fish lay on the streets of land, unable to breathe because they had no water, their gills trembling, flapping their bellies and tails, their eyes filled with fear, and they thrashed and rolled on the ground.
"Why? Where are my hands? Where are my feet? What's wrong with my body?"
"I turned into a fish!"
"Witch! This old woman is a wicked witch!"
"It hurts so much, I can't breathe!"
"Mom and Dad, where are you? I just ran out to play for a while, why did this happen? I feel so uncomfortable, why can't I breathe in the air? Save me, Mom and Dad!"
"It hurts so much, my lungs are about to explode, who can save me? Will a protagonist with supernatural powers from a story pass by and save me? For example, a magician like the Sage Rhine will definitely appear suddenly and save me!"
"Why? I have endured all the darkness in the White Kingdom over the past few years. The lords who exploited the people and the lackeys who bullied others did not kill me. Now the kingdom has finally welcomed a learned sage, and the queen has finally awakened. The dawn is about to come, but I am going to be killed by an unknown evil witch? This is unfair. At least let me see what the kingdom will be like next year!"
"It's so painful that I'm losing consciousness! Will the wise man and the queen avenge me?"
“…”
All kinds of thoughts flashed through the fishes' minds.
"Hahaha."
Looking at the fish floundering on the ground, their bulging eyes and painful postures, and their desperate struggles but smaller and smaller movements, the Witch of the East laughed out loud like a child pouring boiling water on ants.
She laughed and laughed until the last fish stopped moving.
"I feel a little better now. It's time to go meet the Queen and that annoying Sage Rhine. If they make me unhappy, their fate will be no different from that of these fish."
The Witch of the East made the heels of her silver shoes clink gently three times.
A strong wind blew and the witch disappeared.
At the street corner where the Witch of the East left, the curse was lifted with the death of the cursed person.
Bang, bang, bang, balls of black mist burst out.
The colorful fish turned back into human form.
But now they are motionless.
They could no longer gather together as they had before, chatting happily, discussing the affairs of the kingdom, and marveling at the rapid success of their neighbors.
"ah!"
In less than half a minute, several passers-by saw more than a dozen bodies lying on the street.
They include both men and women. The oldest is over 70 years old, while the youngest is only four or five years old.
Without exception, they all had bulging eyes, twisted bodies, purple faces, and facial features crowded together - it was clear what unspeakable pain they had experienced before death.
"Wow, murder, murder!"
"Who did it?"
"I have never seen such a death! What happened to them before they died?"
People screamed in horror.
Some people ran around and told others the news; some went to find the sheriff; and some timid children fainted after seeing the tragic scene.
Guards, sheriffs, and the royal city guard all arrived to maintain order.
"Please rest assured that we are contacting the family of the deceased. We will definitely find out what happened. Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen, and the Sage will definitely give everyone justice!"
A dashing man who looked like a Master Chief said.
He lowered his head, staring at the tragic deaths of the people, clenched his fists, veins bulged, and his teeth chattered.
He is the protagonist of our conversation just now, Karen, a craftsman who was promoted exceptionally by the Queen a few days ago.
The dozen or so passers-by who died tragically were all his neighbors, with whom he lived every day. He knew everyone here, from the youngest child to the oldest person.
"What happened?"
"Some time ago, I suddenly welcomed the best days of my life. I became very successful. Just when I came back to brag about it to my friends and neighbors, something like this happened to them!"
"A brand new White Kingdom will never allow such murderers to go unpunished."
The Eastern Witch might have just been following her usual habit and killed a few passers-by without realizing the seriousness of the problem.
What she didn't know was that if it were the previous White Kingdom, the death of a few dozen civilians would not cause much trouble.
But for the White Kingdom, which finally saw the dawn, established a new order, and everything was moving in a good direction, it was impossible to tolerate such a tragedy. This was a blatant provocation to the new order of the kingdom! The guards and sheriffs surrounded the scene, identified the identities of each of the dead, and found their families. The family members cried one after another.
"Stop, Pinocchio, stop, Pinocchio. You can't go there, there's a case going on there!"
The old carpenter Geppetto and his adopted son, the hunter Angus, ran breathlessly, chasing the puppet in front of them.
The puppet running wildly in front is Pinocchio, who was brought to life by the Rhine and given the ability to move. The old carpenter Geppetto had just carved his limbs, giving him the ability to walk, and he couldn't wait to run around.
"Hahaha, you can't catch me, you can't catch me!"
Pinocchio ran away laughing.
A soldier stopped Pinocchio and grabbed the puppet's big nose: "Little friend, there's a big murder ahead. You can't go over there... Wait, this is a puppet? A puppet that moves?"
"Thank you for catching him."
The old carpenter Geppetto caught Pinocchio who was running around and forcibly took him home.
"What is a major murder?" asked Pinocchio, who had just come back to life.
"A lot of people died. They are all dead and can't move at all." The old carpenter Geppetto and the hunter Angus told the puppet.
Pinocchio, who was carried home, turned his head and looked at the people gathered behind and the guards who were maintaining order. He heard intermittent crying and sobbing coming from there.
…
The Witch of the East arrived at the palace gate and told the guards her purpose.
"Tell Her Majesty the Queen that the witch [slave owner] is here to see her."
The guards were still unaware of the major events that had taken place in the city, and conveyed the message normally.
Looking at the departing soldiers, the Eastern Witch narrowed her eyes.
"[Queen], will you invite me in politely and host a banquet to welcome me? Or will you refuse to let me in?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The Queen hasn't said a word in the daily interactions with the Witches' Club for more than two months. I want to see if she has forgotten or is deliberately distancing herself from the Witches' Club!" The Eastern Witch thought.
Inside the palace.
The table was piled with densely packed documents and the smell of paper scraps filled the room.
Rhine and Aurora are attending to matters of state.
After all this time of experimentation, they also discovered that the magic power of the magic mirror has a limit after all, and it is not omniscient.
For example, for talents outside the White Kingdom, there is no way to display various attributes and other detailed information. Rhine tried to teleport the magic mirror out of the kingdom, and the result was the same.
For another example, when it comes to powerful figures like the witches in the Witch Society, the magic mirror doesn't dare to look too closely, for fear of causing problems like last time and triggering the opponent's defense mechanism, so it can only provide brief intelligence.
"Teacher, has Prince Henry, the second prince of the West Asian Kingdom, not returned yet?" Aurora asked, looking at the information in her hand.
"Yes," Rhine replied, "He was very sorry that he didn't see Snow White, and said he wanted to wander around the White Kingdom for a while."
"God knows what he'll run into when he wanders around," Aurora sighed.
She was deeply impressed by the previous crystal slipper incident and the unreliable second prince.
More than a month ago, Prince Eric of the West Asian Kingdom’s younger brother, the unreliable Second Prince Henry, suddenly came to the White Kingdom.
When he heard that the magician Rhine had just left the West Asia Kingdom and entered the White Kingdom, and was hired as a high-ranking sage in the White Kingdom, he was so surprised that his jaw dropped to the ground.
"Master Grand Magician Rhine has become the sage of your country? It's only been a few days."
At that time, the reform of the White Kingdom had just begun, and Rhine was too lazy to meet him, so he asked His Majesty the King to simply host a banquet for him and send Prince Henry off.
During the entire process, neither Rhine, Aurora nor Snow White showed up.
Before leaving, Prince Henry was still muttering that it was a pity that he did not get to meet the beautiful Snow White from the neighboring country.
"Hey, that guy Henry is riding a white horse and wandering around the White Kingdom. I wonder if he will cause trouble again." Aurora said worriedly.
Thinking of Henry and his white horse, Rhine suddenly had an idea: "Prince Henry, could he be the Prince Charming in the story of Snow White?"
“The only thing Prince Charming ever did was… uh, kiss a beautiful corpse in a crystal coffin?
"White seems to be capable of doing such a thing!"
"That's good. The queen came up and was killed by us. Snow White is not hurt at all. Prince Charming has nothing to do either."
"God knows if he, as the child of destiny, wandering around will trigger some other plot?"
Thinking of this, Rhine used a small magic to block the sound of their conversation, and said to Aurora without being heard by the magic mirror: "The magic of that drop of [Wrong Love] perfume will naturally end in a few days.
"According to the plan, we should find a suitable time to go to the dwarf's cabin and wake up the real queen!"
Theoretically, if Aurora and Rhine wanted, they could add one more drop of perfume and pretend to be queens for another two months.
But they had no intention of staying in the White Kingdom for long.
The last step of the plan is to wake up the real queen! "Will it be okay after the queen wakes up?" Although Aurora already knew the whole plan, she still said with a little worry.
The queen's insidious evil and pettiness were deeply imprinted in her mind!
"We can't stay in the White Kingdom forever. After completing the final work, it's time to set off for the Land of Oz in the heart of the desert," Rhine explained.
He could feel that the power of wishes of the entire White Kingdom, including the hunter Angus, the old carpenter Geppetto and Pinocchio, was gathering together, and it would probably condense into corresponding rewards when he left.
"To enter Oz and find Maleficent's castle, you need to cross the desert. This is a bit inconvenient."
"What a pity! If we could get the silver shoes of the Witch of the East, we could go directly to the Land of Oz without having to cross the desert," Rhine thought.
Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.
It's His Majesty the King of the White Kingdom!
"My dear, the great sage Lord Rhine, are you free?"
"There's an old woman dressed as a witch outside, saying she's a witch [slave owner] and wants to see the queen of the White Kingdom!"
The chapter schedule was set incorrectly. I don't know why, but this chapter is scheduled for tomorrow.
