Chapter 157 Pinocchio's Wish

The next day.

In the Emerald City.

The bright sunshine once again shone on the city. In the eyes of people wearing green glasses, the city was simply inherited by emeralds and emeralds, sparkling.

People on the street were walking around in green clothes, with smiles on their faces. Children were eating green popcorn, and couples were chatting on chairs.

The disguised Magrido was also hiding quietly in the city at this time.

After some inquiries, he learned that Dorothy and her companions had already visited Oz.

"Great! I told them about Oz's tricks in advance. They will definitely find out that Oz is just an ordinary person who can't do magic, a big liar!"

"When these outsiders uncover Oz's deception, I will make a big fuss about it and let the people in the Emerald City know that the king has deceived them for too many years!"

"Haha, I really can't imagine what the angry public will do then."

…

At the same time, in the palace of Emerald City.

The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Lion, and Pinocchio were summoned by Oz and came to his palace again today.

This time, in the originally spacious and magnificent hall, waiting for them was not only Oz, but also a silver-haired boy in a pure white cloak.

While others were still wondering who he was, Pinocchio recognized the boy at a glance and smiled happily:

"Rhine, the great magician who gave me life!"

Oz introduced Rhine: “Yes, this is my teacher, the great magician Rhine! “Your wish is not easy to fulfill, so I consulted my teacher Rhine for this.

"After hearing that you are Aurora's friends, this great magician is willing to personally come forward and help me fulfill your wish!"

Everyone had heard Aurora introduce this knowledgeable magician along the way, and they were all very happy to finally see Rhine in person.

"Great! Oz's teacher must be a more powerful wizard than Oz. I can immediately feel wonderful ideas popping out of my mind." The Scarecrow's voice was light-hearted and cheerful.

Rhine and Oz first took out a brain made of nails and needles and stuffed it into the scarecrow's skull.

Several nails were sticking out of the Scarecrow's head, and the Lion said this showed that he had a sharp mind.

The two of them then took out a beautiful heart that was carefully woven with silk thread and stuffed it into the Tin Man's chest.

Finally, they took out a bottle of potion and asked the lion to drink it, telling the lion that this magic potion would give him courage and bravery.

The wishes of these three partners were fulfilled.

The Scarecrow felt that he was now full of wisdom, and new ideas kept popping up in his mind.

The Tin Man tried walking down the hall, and when he heard a thump in his chest, he happily announced that he finally had a heartbeat.

He felt that this heart was now even kinder and more loving than before.

The Lion feels that he is filled with endless courage and strength, and declares that he will not retreat even if faced with an army.

Now, only Pinocchio's wish has not been fulfilled.

Oz smiled with relief when he saw Dorothy's companions leave happily.

"They believe that my teacher and I are great magicians and that we can do anything, so their wishes can actually be fulfilled very easily."

Oz thought about it and gave Rhine another approving look—it was this clever magician who came up with such an idea! Rhine shrugged his shoulders.

The idea he came up with was exactly what Oz would think of in the future. So when he proposed this idea yesterday and was amazed by Oz's genius, he told Oz, "In fact, as long as you calm down and think about it, you will come up with such a solution sooner or later."

Pinocchio saw that his companions had all realized their wishes, so he left the palace and ran to Rhine and Oz impatiently:

"It's my turn, it's my turn, it's time to make my wish come true!"

His carved eyeballs were wide open, staring at Rhine eagerly:

"Great magician, since you can make me move, you can surely make me flesh and blood and become a real boy."

Rhine nodded slightly:

"Yes, I can indeed do such a thing."

After traveling through several kingdoms, absorbing many powers of wishes, and combining several types of magic, Rhine was convinced that he had the ability to achieve a miracle of this magnitude.

Rhine knew that "becoming a real boy" was exactly what Pinocchio would end up being.

The moving and talking puppet no longer exists, and Pinocchio finally gets the fairy's blessing to become a flesh-and-blood human being.

At the end of the original work, "becoming a real human being" is seen as a reward given to the puppet and a perfect ending.

But Rhine sees it a little differently.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"But before I grant your wish, I have a question for you, Pinocchio."

The little magician changed the subject: "Can you tell me why you want to become a real, flesh-and-blood human being?"

Pinocchio was stunned.

He had never thought about this question carefully.

Pinocchio scratched his head: "I... I don't know.

"But I thought a real boy would be better than a puppet.

"Because most of the people on this continent are flesh and blood. I'd better become like everyone else."

Rhine smiled:

"Look, among your companions, there are the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. Aren't they very happy now? Aren't they worse than those humans?"

Pinocchio tilted his head: "It seems so?"

He hesitated a little.

Rhine added:

“You see, you are a puppet that can move and talk, and that is what makes you most special.

“When you fall into the water, you can float up easily; when your feet are burned, you can ask a carpenter to build you a new pair of feet.

“When you were in the White Kingdom, the Queen saw your potential and invited you to become a puppeteer - this must be the most special puppeteer in the world because you are the puppet.

"If I turn you into a real boy, everything that's special about you will disappear, and you'll be no different from many other people on this continent.

"So I want to confirm with you one last time, have you really become a real boy?"

Pinocchio hesitated.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the magician who had given him a new life said made sense!
