Chapter 89: The Chessboard of the German Emperor
Rhine sometimes teleports, disappears and reappears suddenly; sometimes he suddenly sings a song like Ariel, driving the fish in the sea to surround the tuna that the old witch has transformed into; sometimes he transforms back to his original form, takes out the crystal ball, and finds the old witch who has transformed into a mouse and is hiding in an abandoned house.
As the two chased each other through the streets of the imperial city, the old witch changed back to her original form several times and tried to command the nearby soldiers to fight against Rhine. However, due to the riot caused by the mermaids in the port, the place was already in chaos and no one obeyed her orders.
Many thoughts flashed through the old witch's mind.
"Damn it! There's no way I can get rid of it."
"I ambushed a large group of zombies and skeletons near that alley, but they were easily crushed by the giant dog he summoned."
"Someone come quickly, I need support, isn't this the imperial city of Ende?"
"Why?"
"Why haven't they come yet?"
"I just sent out a signal! Why didn't anyone come to help me?"
"Where are the other court magicians? Where are His Majesty the Emperor and his warriors?"
'Where did they all go?'
“…”
As time went by, the old witch, who kept running away and trying to delay time, felt increasingly cold and desperate in her heart.
On the streets of the imperial city illuminated by the silver moonlight.
The old witch changed back to her original form and stared fiercely at the young magician who was walking leisurely from behind. In her eyes, besides unspeakable indignation, there was more anxiety that could not be concealed.
She was exhausted.
She believed that the little magician chasing her must have consumed a lot of energy. But that damn magician had three terrible dogs besides herself! "You seem to be stalling for time. Who are you waiting for?" Rhine came over with a smile and rubbed the tinderbox several times. "You seem to have very bad luck today. No one is willing to help you."
With the sound of whooshing, three big dogs surrounded the old witch.
The largest of them had eyes that were almost as big as the dome of a tall tower. Even a powerful spell could not make such an exaggerated behemoth lose its combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
"No, no, no! Why?"
The old witch cried out at the top of her lungs, preparing to make her final struggle.
The ugly witch's eyes reflected the scene of three big dogs rushing towards her.
"Your Majesty, did you not hear my cry for help?"
…
Inside the palace.
The man with a thick beard, imposing and heroic appearance stretched out his strong and powerful right hand, picked up a black chess piece that had been eaten on the chessboard, and threw the black bishop aside without hesitation.
He was the emperor of the German state of Endeavour.
Unlike his strong and powerful hand, the other hand holding the chess piece on the other side of the chessboard was obviously more slender and whiter, like a woman's hand.
"Your Majesty, won't you send someone to rescue the court witch? She is the number one witch in Ende."
Said a gentle voice from across the chessboard.
"What are you talking about?" The Emperor of Ende said calmly, "From the beginning to the end, wasn't it just her personal behavior?"
"I sprinkled my daughter with bewitching spices, hoping to turn the foreign prince into a puppet who would obey me. I tricked Prince Eric into drinking a drug that erased his memory. I secretly imprisoned the bride and groom along with other princes and nobles..."
"These heinous crimes are all committed by the old witch for her own selfish desires."
"That old witch wanted to use the prince of the West Asian Kingdom, the future king, to control the entire West Asian Kingdom and gain the qualification to join the Witch Society. She naively thought that she had kept it from me."
Across the chessboard, there was laughter.
"As expected of you, Your Majesty."
"I don't know what she is expecting?" The monarch of the empire moved the knight on the chessboard again. "Does she want me to kill a powerful magician whose background is unknown, a super warrior who looks like a little girl but has infinite strength, and the prince of the West Asian Kingdom and his boatload of followers, and not let them leave the imperial city?"
"To your majesty, the Kingdom of West Asia is just a small country that can be destroyed with a flip of the hand." said a slightly slender voice from the other side of the chessboard.
"I never fight meaningless battles," the man said coldly.
"It's impossible for the two countries to form an alliance. It's a pity to lose a strategically important maritime kingdom as an ally, but it won't affect my career."
The man turned his head and looked at the guards waiting on the side:
"Tell the Middle Eastern magician named Magredo that the monarch of Ende has agreed to summon him. Summon him.
"He said he had an important secret to tell me, right? ...
Prince Eric, Ariel and Aurora have returned to the West Asian Kingdom's flower ship docked at the port.
In the riot just now, many ships in the harbor were damaged and sank, but all the sunken ships were warships of the German Empire without exception. This flower ship belonging to the Kingdom of West Asia was still intact.
The crew members were extremely surprised when they saw the prince's lower body turned into a fish tail.
Prince Eric explained to his entourage why he had become a mermaid, and briefly recounted the absurd and hasty wedding and the entire conspiracy he had experienced.
The people on the ship cursed the old witch for her shamelessness and were extremely relieved that Prince Eric had finally returned.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Crash.
The beautiful ship raised its anchor, set sail, and headed towards the Kingdom of West Asia under the light of the stars and the moon, leaving a trail of white water behind the ship.
Ariel's sisters and her grandmother poked their heads out of the sea one after another, waved to Ariel on the boat, and dived back into the sea before the servants saw them, leaving behind only a cloud of white foam.
"The moon is beautiful tonight. Don't you think so, my Ariel?"
On the deck of the flower boat, in the gentle and cool sea breeze, under the bright and holy moonlight, the prince of the West Asian Kingdom and the princess of the Sea Kingdom hugged and kissed each other tightly.
They have been through so much and faced countless difficulties and obstacles.
They crossed the chasm between land and sea, broke through the prejudices between humans and mermaids, survived the arrangements of their stubborn father, and defeated the conspiracy of the terrifying witch and the powerful empire. In the history of land and sea, there has never been such a touching love.
Now, no one can stop them from being together!
"After this incident, the West Asian Kingdom will no longer be able to form an alliance with Ende. My marriage is also free. I will never let my father use me as a bargaining chip to marry a princess from another country!"
"No matter what, my bride can only be you, my Ariel!"
Wait, that's not right... Prince Eric suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Ariel." Prince Eric held the girl's hand, looked into her sapphire-blue eyes, and asked tremblingly, "The sun will be out soon, will you be okay?"
Despite the extreme haste, despite the fact that the priest only uttered some symbolic blessings, despite the fact that the wedding was broken up halfway through, despite the fact that neither the bride nor the groom now approves of the wedding, Prince Eric did experience a wedding in name only.
According to the curse, "On the first morning that the person she loves marries someone else, the mermaid's heart will burst and turn into sea foam."
Aurora also became extremely worried after hearing this.
"Ariel, you..."
She grabbed her mermaid friend's hand, as if Ariel was about to disappear.
When they first met in the sea, Ariel was still a mermaid, but now the girl's lower body has become human legs.
In the distant east, a touch of white snow is faintly visible.
The sun is rising! I found that I had been focusing too much on gorgeous words and descriptions, as well as lyrical texts, and I felt that the direction was a bit off.
Try to turn it around slowly. These things are icing on the cake for online literature after all. You still have to focus on the twists and turns and development of the story itself.
…
Oh my god, I really don't understand how to use this writer's assistant. Every time I want to write the writer's words, I accidentally send out the later chapters (such as the wedding a few chapters later), and then I quickly change the chapter urgently, and then the original chapter disappears again, and another chapter is lost.
