Chapter 76: Deceiving Fate

At the port of the Ende Imperial City.

Two children appeared on the street at some point, one was a silver-haired boy and the other was a blonde girl.

"I have a question, teacher."

Aurora asked, looking up.

"Since you don't want Prince Eric and Ariel to really elope into the sea, why do you still want to make a medicinal wine that can turn humans into mermaids?"

During this journey, Aurora gradually discovered that although she was very talented in theory because of the blessing, she was still too young and had too little social experience. Even if she learned a lot of textbook knowledge, it was just dead knowledge and could not be applied in practice. The blessing only improved her memory ability and did not seem to have the function of directly improving her IQ.

It seems that I still have a lot to learn... Aurora thought.

"The medicinal wine was not really meant to let them elope into the sea, but it had other uses," Rhine replied.

"Huh? What does this mean?" Aurora asked.

"If you talk too much about fate, it won't work." Rhine smiled. "In a country far away, there is an old saying that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

He was telling the truth. Divination and prediction are inherently subject to great limitations. Not only do they require a medium, and only vague fragments are obtained, but some predictions involving the future may also affect the accuracy of the results if revealed to others.

"Come to think of it, fate is a wonderful thing." Rhine looked at the clouds in the sky.

He still remembered that he had proposed that the King of Rose invite the Black Witch, thinking that this would lead to a change in the fate of "the Black Witch barging in angrily because she was not invited."

But the black witch Maleficent was furious about something else and still issued a curse.

Similarly, when Granny Rosa was looking for the tinderbox, she did not inform the person in advance, so that he missed the opportunity to remind her and the soldier successfully got the tinderbox.

Everything seems to be destined.

These two events made Rhine, who thought he could easily change his fate, feel a strong sense of frustration.

Having recently acquired this crystal ball, his prophetic ability has been enhanced, and Rhine finally vaguely feels that -

For a visitor from outside this world like me, fate has a powerful ability to correct itself.

Some important and critical scenes in the original work - those fateful nodes that would almost destroy the entire story once they were changed. Even if you try to prevent the change, the world may force it to happen!

"But this definitely doesn't mean that fate cannot be changed," Rhine thought.

With the experience of previous failures, he has mastered a better way to deal with it:

There is no need to forcibly prevent the corresponding destiny nodes and corresponding scenes from happening. That will only backfire and make the destined future come true by accident.

The key is to make the corresponding scene happen "on the surface", but in fact it is completely different from the original! For example, changing the content of the blessing given to Aurora is a suitable idea.

"Destiny can also be deceived!"

Rhine suddenly felt emotional.

"I guess it won't be long before we get the news that Prince Eric and Princess Ender are getting married," Rhine said.

"What?" Aurora was stunned. "But this is impossible! Prince Eric will never agree to the wedding. And there is no reason for Enderman to force him, right?"

"Why no reason?"

Rhine flipped his hand, and a small amount of fine powder appeared in his palm.

“Just now, I turned into a bird and secretly touched the makeup products of the princess of Endeok, and found something wrong.

"I used divination to check. These spices are made from magical herbs and are attached with powerful spells. This magic is only effective on men: if Prince Eric smells their fragrance for a long time, he will become a puppet of the caster."

Aurora's expression suddenly became serious.

"It turns out that Ende's marriage is actually a conspiracy. We must tell the King of the West Asia Kingdom as soon as possible!"

Rhine shook his head:

"Others, including magicians with average divination skills, cannot detect the hidden magic in this fragrance. Even I, without the help of a crystal ball, cannot discover the hidden danger.

"This is not enough evidence of a crime. Ender can accuse, but this is just one magician's one-sided statement. Deny that there is any problem with these spices. The alliance between the two countries will continue."

Aurora looked worried and thought: "What should I do?"

"Just think about it. Prince Eric will definitely refuse the marriage. But that old witch Ender will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen." Rhine laughed, "They will soon reveal more clues and take the initiative to provide us with new evidence."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"If our plan succeeds, we will not only destroy the alliance between the Kingdom of West Asia and the Kingdom of Ende, but also eliminate the prejudice between humans and mermaids!"

…

The old witch found the sad princess hiding in the room and crying.

"My little princess, don't be sad. I have heard that Prince Eric of the West Asian Kingdom is a rebellious teenager.

"Maybe he is deceiving you? Maybe he just made up a non-existent lover to reject his father's arrangement."

The princess stopped crying, raised her head, and stared at the court witch with her crystal blue eyes, half believing and half doubting: "Really?"

"You can give it a try." The old witch handed a bottle of wine to the princess. "People often say that only when you are drunk can you tell the truth. Let the prince drink some of my treasured liquor, and when he is drunk, ask him if there is really such a lover?"

"My little princess, I guess you are the one he loves most in his heart!"

The princess of Endeok took the wine.

"Well, I could certainly give it a try."

She then left the little room and went to look for Prince Eric.

Looking at the princess's departing back, the old witch grinned.

She added an amnesia potion to the wine, which could make a person forget something forever.

As long as the prince drinks the wine, he will completely forget Ariel!
