Chapter 167 Invitation from the Witch Club President
Rhine stood up again and bowed respectfully like a sage:
"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, or rather, Her Majesty the Queen."
"Thank you too, Sensei."
Aurora smiled and nodded, completely relaxing and closing her eyes.
The gentle breeze blowing past her ears, the clear singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers and grass - the beauty of the world that Aurora had not noticed in the past years, made the little princess drunk and slowly fell asleep.
Countless memories of the past flashed by in fragments, forming a dream. She felt that she had experienced everything again at an incredible speed: the hard training in her youth made the swordsmanship master marvel at her talent and strength; she defeated the sinful soldiers, took back the tinderbox with her teacher, and received praise from Granny Rosa, feeling like a little hero for the first time; she learned about the curse of the Kingdom of Rose, understood her noble identity, and resolutely took on the mission that she should not have to bear at this age; she embarked on a journey with the sage of the kingdom and her teacher...
He met the mermaid princess Ariel in the deep blue sea and became friends with her. He defeated the old witch's conspiracy, overcame all difficulties and obstacles, helped Ariel and Prince Eric get married, and gave Ariel an immortal soul with his love. He witnessed with his own eyes the alliance between the Kingdom of the Sea and the Kingdom of Humans, and witnessed mermaids get rid of their stigma and turned from terrifying monsters in the sailors' legends into friends of the sailors...
He defeated the evil queen, disguised himself as the queen, governed the country with a magic mirror, personally initiated a major reform of the White Kingdom, and witnessed the reconciliation between the queen and Snow White...
She met her destined enemy on the sea and chased him all the way to the Land of Oz. She killed the Witch of the East and experienced interesting adventures with Dorothy and her friends. She witnessed how Oz changed from a big liar to a real magician, and saw the Scarecrow and Pinocchio realize their wishes, and Dorothy was able to return home...
Finally, on this green field, she killed the black witch Maleficent and settled all the grudges! Aurora woke up from her half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
"The story between me and my teacher is quite epic," she thought with a smile.
"Aurora, you have too many things to bear at your age."
Rhine sat on the grass beside the girl, looked up at the bright starry night, and said in a relaxed and easy tone: "Thank you for your hard work along the way."
Aurora was about to say "nothing" when she suddenly felt her nose sore and her eyes a little warm. The starry night sky suddenly became blurry and hazy.
After a while, Oz also ran up to them.
The short old man looked delighted and excited: "Great, everyone has turned from fish back into humans, and my kingdom and city are back. This beautiful country has returned to its original appearance.
"I really don't know how to thank you! You saved this country!
"How on earth did you do it?"
Rhine looked at Oz, who was almost jumping for joy, and answered calmly:
"I found a witch from the Middle East and somehow got her to lift the curse of Oz on her own initiative."
He turned to Aurora, who was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and said, "Now, with Maleficent killed by you, the Witch Society has lost 5 members, and the entire organization is destroyed.
“According to the information from the Sea Hag, of the only two remaining members, Red Heart’s magic is far less powerful than Maleficent and the Middle Eastern Witch, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Now that the curse of the Rose Kingdom has been lifted, the only thing I care about in this world is finding the founder of the Witch Society."
Aurora agreed: "Yes. Now we have finally killed Maleficent. I promised you that I would go with you to find the founder of the Witch Society and find a way for you to return to your original world!"
“No rush.” Rhine’s tone revealed an unprecedented sense of ease—obviously, the death of the black witch Maleficent also made him feel relieved.
"We can go back to the Kingdom of Rose first and tell your father, mother, and all the citizens that the curse has been lifted! We will also hold a grand banquet to celebrate."
At this point, Rhine let out a long sigh and laughed to himself, "Haha, I'm not sure if the founder of the Witch Society can really help me return to my hometown. It's just a wish."
"It will definitely work, teacher." Aurora clenched her fists and said seriously.
"It just so happens that Maleficent died here. From her belongings, I can find information about the founder of the Witch Society..."
Rhine stood up and walked to Maleficent's body. He moved his finger towards the body on the ground, and an exquisite makeup mirror flew out of his pocket and fell into Rhine's hand.
The members of the Witch Society communicate with each other through mirror magic!
"It's time to check the communication records."
Rhine felt more relaxed than ever before and joked in his heart.
He took out his crystal ball and prepared to divine the content of the communication between Maleficent and the founder of the Witch Society.
Suddenly, circles of water-wave-like ripples spread out on the mirror, and a hazy figure appeared on the mirror.
Although the face cannot be seen clearly, judging from the outline and color blocks, it seems to be a girl with long black hair.
"【Dark Witch】Maleficent, are you there?"
A girl's voice came from the mirror.
Different from Aurora's slightly sharp and tough voice, the voice of the girl in the mirror is gentle and sweet, like a beautiful calm and windless lake, but beneath the lake, there seem to be countless undercurrents surging.
Rhine's heart trembled.
As one of the few great prophet masters in the world, his intuition told him who the person was.
The founder of the Witch Society! How should I respond to him?
Tell her Maleficent is dead?
According to the Queen and the Sea Ghost, the president doesn't care much about the lives of other people in the organization, but is that really okay? Just as Rhine was thinking about it, the girl behind the mirror seemed to suddenly sense something and said:
"Oh, the [Black Witch] is dead? You killed her."
The black-haired girl's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
"Yes. We killed Maleficent. She deserved it." Rhine admitted.
The black-haired girl with a hazy face paused, raised her slender right hand, rubbed her index finger and thumb a few times, as if calculating something.
Counting with fingers? Lai Yin's eyes widened, and he immediately realized what the other party was doing.
This is a completely different divination method from mine! "The Middle Eastern witch is also planning to withdraw from the Witch Society." The black-haired girl in the mirror instantly learned what had just happened.
She looked at the two people outside and smiled sweetly:
"You must be the magician Rhine and the warrior Aurora, right? I know you have done a lot of great things, and I have always been interested in your journey!
"I've asked Maleficent several times about you guys before. If you don't believe me, go ask her if I care about you guys - oh, sorry, it seems the dead can't talk."
The black-haired girl was halfway through her speech when she suddenly giggled.
Weird guy... Rhine remained extremely vigilant against the founder of the Witch Society.
The black-haired girl stretched, leaned back in her chair, and said in a rather disappointed tone: "The [Sea Witch], [Queen], and [Middle Eastern Witch] have left, and the [Black Witch] and [Slave Owner] are dead. Thanks to you, the Witch Society can be declared disbanded. In this case, I can only..."
"Are you going to avenge the two witches we killed?"
Aurora, who was standing next to her, was startled and put her hand on the sword at her waist, worried that the founder of the witch association would suddenly rush out of the mirror.
Rhine also narrowed his eyes and remained on high alert.
Today, he is a legendary magician who has surpassed Maleficent, and Aurora must have become a mythical warrior after her fateful battle with Maleficent.
Behind them, there are the White Kingdom and the Sea Kingdom, as well as the Rose Kingdom and the 12 Good Witches! "In that case, I can only invite you to join the Witch Society and fill in the gaps!"
The black-haired girl yawned and said something that surprised both Rhine and Aurora.
"I don't think I'm suitable." Rhine refused calmly, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Isn’t your organization called “Witch Society”?
"If you care about gender, there are many ways to solve it. After all, this is a continent with supernatural powers." The black-haired girl was very relaxed and smiled. "Whether it's changing you or I change the name of the Witch Association, it's not a problem."
Is this a continent with supernatural powers? Rhine was shocked and felt that the words of the Witch Association President were strange.
"I refuse too. I don't want to join such an evil organization!" Aurora also refused fiercely.
"Don't be so heartless," the black-haired girl held her chin up, "It seems that you have a lot of prejudice against me. I don't think I have done anything bad, right?"
"Since both of you are unwilling to join the Witch Society, I will have no choice but to do it with reluctance..." The voice of the girl in the mirror suddenly turned cold.
Rhine and Aurora's hearts suddenly rose, and they were ready to fight again.
"I have no choice but to inform Heart that the Witch Society has disbanded. With only two people left, there's no need to call it an organization."
The black-haired girl in the mirror said with a smile while admiring the instantly nervous expressions of Rhine and Aurora.
At this point, the black-haired girl clapped her hands, "Congratulations, you two, for successfully destroying the mysterious, terrifying, and powerful evil organization I founded!"
What a guy with a bad taste!
Rhine grumbled in his heart.
The personality of the founder of the Witch Society was completely different from what he had imagined! Rhine tried hard to recall:
In the fairy tales and oriental strange stories that I have read, is there such a girl who loves to play jokes but is extremely powerful? But I have not found any suitable person.
Who is the founder of this Witch Society?
"You don't seem to care about the survival of the Witch Society at all, just like what the Queen and the Sea Witch said." Rhine said.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Yes. The Witch Society was just a gathering I organized on a whim when I traveled to the West. I haven't been involved in it for a long time." The black-haired girl said with a little self-pity, "Who made me a person who gets excited after three minutes?"
Seeing that the other party did not look like an enemy, Rhine said politely:
"Miss, some of your assembly members are not good people. They have hurt many people."
"It doesn't matter," the black-haired girl shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm not a good person anyway."
She smiled and squinted her eyes at Rhine: "Unlike you, you are a complete good person. I have heard many stories about you and know that you have helped many kingdoms along the way."
Rhine didn't want to argue with the founder of the Witch Society anymore. He said seriously, "You are the founder of the Witch Society. You must be a knowledgeable and legendary magic master. I have a question for you."
“Tell me what you want.” The black-haired girl leaned lazily on the back of her chair and tilted her head. “I can’t promise to answer. I can’t promise to tell the truth either.”
Rhine paused, not caring about the strange personality of the black-haired girl, and asked the president of the Witch Association the question about his own pursuit of desire: "In the Kingdom of the Sea and many places in the world, people believe that the human soul is immortal and will be reincarnated after the death of the body, and may even be reincarnated into other worlds..."
"There is such a saying." The black-haired girl raised her eyebrows, still speaking in a casual tone.
"Excuse me, sir, do you know how to travel to other worlds?"
Rhine deliberately asked in a very tactful way and did not directly mention the existence of the earth.
"Oh, I know."
The black-haired girl spoke in a very calm tone, showing no shock at all at Rhine's question.
"Legend has it that there is a magic lamp in the Middle Eastern countries. If you get that magic lamp and make a wish to it, you can go to another world."
Does Aladdin's magic lamp really have such great magic power? Rhine has no doubts about this, but still thinks he should give it a try.
"It's just a pity, what a pity."
Halfway through her speech, the black-haired girl suddenly sighed with regret, her tone tinged with a hint of loss:
"That magical lamp was lost many years ago.
“Legend has it that it is sealed in a treasure house that no one knows about.
“A seal has been cast on the treasure house. Even the most omnipotent magicians and warriors must follow specific methods to open the seal.
"Now, I'm afraid no one in this world knows how to open the seal of the treasure house and find the magic lamp."
I know! Rhine thought.
As long as you find the boy named Aladdin, you can open the seal of the treasure house.
Now that Magredo is dead, he may be the only person in the world who has a chance to obtain the magic lamp!
"This is the way I know to go to another world."
The black-haired girl finished speaking, and suddenly changed her tone, revealing a playful smile: "Guess, is what I said true?"
This guy is so boring, who is she? Rhine was puzzled.
"I'll just take it as true." Rhine looked at the blurry black-haired girl in the mirror and asked casually:
"Excuse me, sir, what is your name?"
"Ye Ruge." The black-haired girl said her name without any hesitation. "If you need anything, you can use this mirror to contact me. Or you can come to the Far East Empire to find me directly."
After saying this, the image in the mirror gradually disappeared and returned to darkness.
Ye Ruge? I have never heard of this name.
"The founder of the Witch Society said that as long as we find the magic lamp, we can travel to other worlds." Aurora recalled everything that happened just now. "Is she lying to us?"
"Let's try it first." Rhine said.
This was his last hope to return home. Besides, he had also intended to obtain the magic lamp.
"Let's go back to Rose Kingdom and tell everyone the good news that Maleficent is dead and the curse has been lifted!"
Aurora also smiled excitedly: "That's great! Father, mother, and everyone else will cheer for us."
Rhine gently touched Maleficent's body - this would allow him to summon the body to his hand at any time as proof of the black witch's death.
Then, Rhine took Aurora and said goodbye to Oz and the people of the Emerald City.
The people in the city cheered for them, knowing that they were heroes who had saved this beautiful country.
Amid cheers, Rhine gently bumped the heels of his magic silver shoes together, and a silver whirlwind swept over the two of them, turning them into a stream of silver light that shot toward the horizon.
The sky was spinning, the wind was howling, and countless scenes were changing.
Rhine brought Aurora back to the Kingdom of Rose.
What we saw head on were none other than the 12 good witches of the kingdom.
"Granny Rosa, Violet Fairy, Lilac Fairy..." Aurora called each witch's name affectionately.
"We did it! Maleficent is dead! The curse on the Rose Kingdom has been lifted!"
Although they had expected the result, the witches were still ecstatic after hearing Aurora's words.
Aurora hugged each witch in turn, and everyone praised Aurora's courage and tenacity.
"Hurry, let's tell the King and Queen the good news!"
Rhine and everyone else arrived at the palace of the Kingdom of Rose in the blink of an eye.
Rhine saluted to the old king, waved his hand, and Maleficent's body appeared at his feet:
"Your Majesty, Princess Aurora and I have successfully killed the black witch Maleficent. Let's quickly tell the ministers and the people of the kingdom this news!"
The old king and queen received the good news and saw their beloved daughter again. They cried for joy and picked up Aurora respectively.
"Excellent, great sage Rhine. The Kingdom of Rose will always remember your achievements."
The old king shed tears, as if he was back to the night of his baptism more than ten years ago, remembering the promise he made when Rhine gave his blessing.
"The kingdom will erect a statue for you, so that your great achievements will be passed down forever!"
