Chapter 178 The finale and the final farewell!
Rhine tells the story:
"First, and most simply, destruction is much easier than creation. A magician who can turn an entire kingdom into ruins often cannot build a city out of thin air and provide homes for thousands of people.
“More importantly, even if we have the ability, directly using magic to produce will have a huge impact on society.
"Imagine that you conjured up a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk and gave it to a hungry child. That child would have a chance to have a good meal and be very grateful to you for it. There would be nothing wrong with that.
“However, if you use magic to create enough milk and bread for the entire kingdom and give them away for free to everyone in the city, then the original bakers and milkmen will be unemployed. They will lose their original place in the world and become insignificant.
"Similarly, if you use magic to build a city, the workers who build the houses will lose their jobs; if you use magic to create tens of thousands of warm clothes, a mother working at a loom will lose her important income. They will all become insignificant to the world and the country.
“Perhaps, you can be kind enough to keep using magic to conjure up bread and milk, but if everyone in the entire kingdom becomes insignificant because of the existence of magic, the next magician who takes over from you may not look at them normally.
"The new magician might think that the other people in the kingdom are worthless and meaningless, and he or she has no obligation to support such a group of useless people."
Aurora thought about what Rhine said.
"Using magic directly to help thousands of people does raise many problems..."
A hint of tenacity immediately appeared on the girl's pretty face: "But, I believe that these problems are not unsolvable.
“Maybe we will face many problems along the way, but this direction is definitely correct! ” “Isn’t the queen of the White Kingdom using magic to govern the country today? ” “As long as magic is used properly, the entire Rose Kingdom and the entire continent will become different.
"People will live a better life and more 'little match girls' will not have to walk the streets on cold winter days! This is far more important than helping one or two people."
Seeing Aurora excitedly say this long list, Rhine's mouth curled up and revealed a gratified smile.
He stroked the girl's head slowly and said, "This is what you need to think about, Aurora.
"No matter how powerful I am, I am still just a magician.
"And you are not only the new 'Wish Magician', but also the future monarch of the Kingdom of Rose! "I have said that there are always some things in this world that magicians cannot do and must be accomplished by the king."
Rhine stood up and saluted to the future queen with the attitude of a sage: "Your Majesty, you have learned my spells, inherited the characteristics of the 'Wish Magician', and hold the magic lamp with infinite magic power.
"After copying my specialness, you will no longer age, and will be forever frozen in youth.
“You will inherit a prosperous kingdom, with the White Kingdom, the West Asian Kingdom, the Sea Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Oz as your allies.
"The future of this continent is in your hands!"
Rhine smiled.
"This is the gift I give to this continent before I leave!"
Aurora was stunned.
She remembered what her teacher had said before, that she would leave a gift for herself and the entire continent! The blonde girl nodded firmly.
But Aurora immediately became more sentimental.
The teacher said this because he was really leaving.
"Teacher, after you go home, can you come back?" she asked.
"I don't know." Rhine shook his head. "I don't know if this journey is one-way or if I can return in the future."
At this time, a cloud of green smoke emerged from behind Rhine.
The black-haired girl walked out of the curling green smoke and looked at Rhine lazily:
"How's it going? Have you learned the ritual to open the door between the two worlds?"
"I know it by heart." Rhine responded calmly.
"So let's go back to Earth now? I've been away from home for so many years, and I still feel a little homesick."
"Give me a few more minutes." Rhine looked at Aurora with a smile, then looked at the blue sky outside the window.
"I want to take one last look at the world!"
"Okay." Ye Ruge agreed.
Rhine's figure disappeared in the silver whirlwind.
…
The palace of the Kingdom of Rose.
The old king and queen were discussing Aurora's succession to the throne with the 12 good witches.
The witches were very pleased to think that the child they blessed more than ten years ago might soon become the queen of Rose Kingdom. Especially Granny Rosa, who loved Aurora the most, was filled with mixed feelings.
At this time, the figure of the silver-haired boy appeared in the hall.
"Sir, you are here too!"
The old king greeted Rhine.
"I am leaving this continent and heading to a faraway place," Rhine said, something he had told the old king in advance.
The old king was a little reluctant, but still blessed Rhine respectfully:
"You are a hero of the kingdom. The Kingdom of Rose will always remember your immortal deeds!"
…
In the Emerald City.
Pedestrians wearing emerald green glasses walked on the streets, talking and laughing, and a peaceful and happy atmosphere filled the air.
In the magnificent palace, Oz sat on the throne, instructing the ministers below who were dressed in beautiful clothes.
Ever since the great Oz publicly revealed his true image, the ministers in the palace could be summoned by Oz normally, instead of having to rely on messages passed down by others as before.
Oz is no longer arrogant because he is no longer a liar but a real magician!
The ministers called him "The Great Oz" instead of "The Great and Terrible Oz" because their king was not terrible at all.
At this time, a light breeze of silver hair swept through the hall, and a young man emerged in the wind and walked slowly towards them.
"teacher!"
As soon as he saw Rhine, Oz waved at her in surprise.
"I'm going to a place far, far away, farther away than the Kingdom of Rose and your country." Rhine said calmly.
Oz was quite lost, and the little old man's head drooped.
Rhine pulled out a silver hair, blew on it gently, and handed it to Oz.
“This strand of hair is imbued with my magic power, linking the two places. You can return to the Kingdom of Rose at any time, and you can also come back here at any time.
"If you want to see your hometown again, you can go back anytime."
Oz took the treasure with joy and put it away carefully.
“Oh, let me tell you one more thing.
"In the near future, the girl Aurora who was by my side before will become the new monarch of the Rose Kingdom!"
Rhine smiled and admired Oz's surprised expression and wide eyes.
…
The back garden of the White Kingdom Palace.
Although it was winter, thanks to the queen's magic, the garden was still full of flowers. Bright red, blue, and pure white flowers bloomed.
The Queen held Snow White's hand and walked in the garden.
Since the reform of the White Kingdom began, the Queen has been using the magic mirror to handle various state affairs most of the time. This is one of her rare moments of relaxation.
"Mom, what kind of flower is this?"
Young Snow White pointed at a flower that looked so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood, and looked up at her mother and asked.
The queen squatted down and observed for a long time. Finally, she said helplessly: "Mom, I don't know. I will ask the magic mirror later."
Neither the stepmother nor the daughter noticed that a bird was perched on the treetop, quietly looking at them.
The bird didn't speak so as not to disturb the peaceful and harmonious time enjoyed by the mother and son.
…
In the palace of the West Asian Kingdom, inside the prince’s bedroom.
The mermaid princess Ariel danced gracefully, her toes touching the ground and her dance moves as light as a fish swaying in the water.
Ariel danced and sang at the same time. Her beautiful voice was a unique treasure on the sea and land, which made people cry.
When the song and dance were over, Prince Eric clapped his hands vigorously: "Ariel, your singing is more beautiful than before.
"Everyone in the world will envy me, envy that the crown prince of the West Asian Kingdom married a beautiful princess!"
Eric's words made Ariel's cheeks turn slightly red, and she looked away a little shyly.
At this moment, the silver wind lifted the curtains, swept across the room, and transformed into the figure of a handsome young man.
"Rhine!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Mr. Magician Rhine!"
Princess Ariel and Prince Eric shouted excitedly to the magician at the same time.
Rhine had a peaceful smile on his face and said neither fast nor slow:
"I want to go to a place far, far away, to another world further than the end of the continent.
“In the not too distant future, Aurora will inherit the throne of the Rose Kingdom.
"In the future, I hope you can get along well with her as the King and Queen of the West Asian Kingdom."
When Aurora was mentioned, Princess Ariel smiled brightly, and fond memories of the past came flooding back:
"I'm looking forward to meeting Aurora again!
"After all, half of my soul comes from her!"
Eric also put one hand on his chest, his appearance solemn, and saluted with the etiquette of a crown prince facing a great wise man:
“As you wish, Lord Rhine.
"Aurora will surely become a smart and upright child, and she will surely become an outstanding queen."
Rhine's gaze lingered on Prince Eric for a moment, and he felt quite emotional when he saw that this once rebellious boy had become much more calm and composed than before.
The two young and impulsive boys and girls will now become monarchs of two kingdoms! They have experienced the enemy's conspiracy together and written epic stories together. In the future, the monarchs of the two kingdoms will jointly lead the continent to go further.
Rhine said goodbye to the two of them, and his figure faded away, appearing high in the sky above the sea, overlooking the vast blue ocean below.
Under the shining bright sunshine, ships are sailing out from the port of the West Asian Kingdom. Groups of mermaids gather on the sea, guiding the sailors in front of the ships and showing the direction for the long journey.
…
"I'm back……"
Rhine returned to the Brass Palace of the Kingdom of Rose, and his figure appeared beside Ye Ruge.
"You're finally back. These few minutes were quite long." Ye Ruge complained a few words.
Rhine took off his silver shoes, stepped on the ground barefoot, and handed them to Aurora: "I give you this pair of shoes as well. With them, you can go anywhere in this world."
Aurora remained silent and nodded slightly sadly.
"Now that everything has been explained, let's start the ceremony quickly." Ye Ruge yawned impatiently.
Rhine and Ye Ruge walked outside, lit a fire, threw spices into it, chanted obscure spells, and together cast a magic that spanned two worlds.
When the spell was chanted to its climax, the sky became dark, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and a strong wind swept across the sky, dispersing the clouds in the sky.
A shining door was outlined in the air.
Rhine and Ye Ruge walked forward and were about to push open the illusory door.
"Teacher..." Aurora looked at Rhine who was about to leave, and her voice suddenly choked.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to wave goodbye: "Goodbye, teacher!"
"Goodbye, Aurora!"
Rhine also waved to Aurora, with a happy but reluctant smile on his face.
Aurora watched the silver-haired boy push open the door, and his figure was completely lost in the bright light behind the door.
"The teacher left."
“The rest of the journey depends on me.”
"I am the future king of Rose Kingdom and the new 'Wish Magician'."
Aurora picked up the magic lamp with a little sadness, chanted a spell, and flew into the air.
The girl stood high in the sky, watching the clouds floating past her, overlooking her kingdom and taking in all the households.
…
Many years later.
"Your Majesty, the route to the Eastern Empire has been opened. The Sea King of the Sea Kingdom has promised to send the mermaid guards who are most familiar with this sea route to escort the ships traveling back and forth."
"Your Majesty, thanks to you and the magic of the magic lamp, we have become the most prosperous kingdom on the continent, and the first kingdom to solve the problem of food and clothing for all the people!"
"Your Majesty, the magician academy you founded has begun recruiting students. Everything will be in accordance with your Majesty's arrangements. All children with relevant talents, regardless of their social status, can enroll for free, and subsidies will be given to poor families. Within ten years, we will have a team of world-class magicians!"
"Your Majesty, just yesterday, the Ende Empire also agreed to our alliance request and accepted all the conditions we proposed - perhaps because their emperor has dementia. Now, all the countries in the entire Western Continent are our allies."
"Your Majesty, King Eric and Queen Ariel of the Kingdom of West Asia would like to meet with you soon. Please see when you are free..."
“…”
In the palace of the Kingdom of Rose, the young queen is busy with many affairs.
However, what outsiders don’t know is that even this resolute and wise queen still has things she misses deep in her heart.
"The teacher said at the beginning that he didn't know if he could return to this world."
"Will he come back?"
"Perhaps, one day in the future, the teacher will be able to invent magic that allows one to freely travel between the two worlds, shuttling between his hometown and our continent..."
Lying on the bed, looking at the bright silver moon in the night sky, Aurora fell into deep thought.
On every similar night, she hoped that one day when she opened her eyes, the silver-haired boy would appear in front of her again.
Under the moonlight, Aurora fell asleep with longing in her heart.
Until the sun rose, the dawn light shone through the veil onto the queen's face.
Aurora opened her sleepy eyes.
The next second, her eyes widened.
The smiling face of the silver-haired boy was reflected in Aurora's green eyes, until the reflection became hazy and blurred due to the moisture in her eyeballs.
"Long time no see, Aurora! I'm back."
Rhine greeted the new king of Rose Kingdom with a smile.

P.S. I will update a very long (not longer than the main text of the book) final remarks next, focusing on the mental journey of writing this book, the flaws of this subject matter, the various obstacles encountered during the writing process, and my thoughts on whether to write a book in the future and what changes I will make when writing a book.
