The magician of the fairy tale world

"Selling things in this wilderness is too suspicious." Aurora thought, "Besides, it's not something I need. It's not a necessity, why should I buy it?"

The queen was anxious.

What's wrong with you, little girl?

Can you be less vigilant?

Can you be more curious like a little girl!

The queen knocked on the window nervously, making a crisp sound.

"Just try it. Little girl, you are so beautiful, I'll give you a ribbon for free."

"Free gift looks even more suspicious..." Aurora thought with narrowed eyes, and looked at the old woman pretending to be the queen suspiciously.

Rhine in the room heard the conversation between the two and almost laughed out loud.

After a secret divination, his strange sense of humor came up and he came up with a new idea.

"It's okay. Then I'll buy a ribbon and try it."

Rhine opened the window, spent some copper coins, bought the ribbon from the old woman, and tied it around Aurora's neck with his own hands.

When the queen saw this scene, she was so excited that she almost jumped up. She tried her best to suppress the joy on her face.

"Great, you stupid child. You helped me a lot."

"The ribbon is tied to Aurora's neck and will strangle her to death!"

"When this girl named Aurora dies, I will become the most beautiful person in the kingdom again!"

The queen laughed wildly in her heart.

However, she waited patiently for a while, but regretfully found that:

Nothing happened.

The blonde girl and the silver-haired boy were still talking and laughing, with no signs of being affected at all.

"What's going on?" The queen was confused and muttered in her heart, "Is there something wrong with the magic?"

She carefully looked at the ribbon on Aurora's neck - according to the magic she set, the moment the ribbon was wrapped around her neck, the ribbon would immediately tighten and strangle the girl to death.

And this ribbon, which was currently tied perfectly on Aurora's slender neck, did seem to be a little tighter than before.

But that's all.

There was no strangling effect at all, and even the girl's skin did not show any signs of being sunken due to tightening.

The queen cursed in her heart:

"No, the magic on the ribbon must not be triggered normally! Alas, I haven't practiced magic for too long, and the spells are all rusty."

"It's okay, I still have one last trick!"

She placed a large basket of plump apples in front of the window:

"Little girl, thank you for buying my ribbon, do you want to try another apple?"

Aurora looked at the old woman who was selling things in the wilderness with caution:

"You not only sell ribbons and combs? You even sell apples? Isn't this too much? And you say you sell groceries, but you have nothing here except a few ribbons, a comb and a basket of apples. There is nothing else. Isn't it too strange? "

The queen lowered her head and explained somewhat far-fetchedly:

"Well, everything else is sold out."

Before Aurora asked "Who did you sell it to in this forest", the queen handed another apple into the window:

"Try it quickly, I just picked the apple, it is big, plump, fresh and juicy. Since you bought my ribbon, I will give you an apple for free."

Aurora looked at the apple doubtfully, and glanced at Rhine. After receiving the latter's response, she finally took the apple and bit it.

"She ate it, she ate it!"

The queen was so excited that she almost shouted out with joy.

She was sure that Aurora ate the outer side of the apple.

The poisonous side!

"Just wait a few seconds, she will die of poison." The queen thought, staring at Aurora's face.

Suddenly, Aurora frowned and her body trembled violently.

"This apple..."

"Did it work?" The queen took a deep breath and was delighted.

"So sour." Aurora finished the second half of the sentence.

"Uh..." The queen was silent.

"Maybe the toxin takes effect slower than I thought?" She waited patiently for another minute or two, but nothing happened.

"Although it's sour, thank you for the apple, old woman." Aurora put down the apple she had taken a few bites of, and looked at the queen who had been standing there with a suspicious look again, "So, is there anything else? Why are you staring at me?"

The queen's head was already full of sweat.

"No, that's a terrible toxin that can make an elephant faint."

"How can it have no effect?"

"How can there be no reaction at all?"

She tried to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Old woman, it's almost winter now, and the weather is very cold. Why are you sweating so much?" Rhine asked with concern.

"Maybe... uh... I've been running around outside for a long time. Haha, hahaha." The queen, pretending to be an old woman, laughed awkwardly.

"Maybe one of the apples was forgotten to be poisoned? Try another one?"

Just as the queen was thinking this, she saw Rhine take out a copper coin:

"Give me a few more apples. I'll see if every one is sour."

The queen was overjoyed and her favorability towards this silver-haired boy increased dramatically!

"Oh my God. You helped me a lot again. Fortunately, there is an ignorant child like you." The queen thought.

She couldn't help but mutter in her heart:

"That little girl named Aurora looks so innocent, but she is so vigilant that it's inconvenient for me to kill her."

"If she could learn to be as pure and innocent as this silver-haired boy, it would be great!"

Rhine bought a few more apples, grabbed one and took two bites - and he really bit the poisonous side.

"Aurora, this apple tastes really good, not only sweet, but also fresh and juicy. It seems that the sour one is only the one you eat." Rhine praised the apple in his hand, took several bites, and looked very satisfied.

"Is that so?" Aurora was skeptical, picked up an apple, took a bite, "Well, this one is really good."

The two began to discuss the taste of the apples. Rhine praised the taste of the apples and turned to the queen outside the window:

"Old woman, your apples are really good. Sell me the whole basket!"

The queen looked at the two children talking and laughing, and her eyes almost rolled out of her eye sockets.

What's going on?

Wait a minute, I'm selling poisoned apples, right!

How come you two are eating so enthusiastically.

Looking at the queen who was stunned like a stone statue, Rhine showed a confused expression:

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"What's wrong, old woman? You won't sell it to us? It's okay. I can pay more."

"Ahem." The queen finally reacted, "Nothing, nothing."

At this time, the queen keenly noticed:

Whether it was Rhine or Aurora, the three apples they had bitten so far were all eaten on the poisonous side of the basket facing outward.

Could it be that...

"I must have turned the apple basket the wrong way!"

"By the way, Snow White moved my apples while I was away. She must have turned the apple basket the wrong way!"

"What they ate was actually the non-toxic side."

Rhine looked at the queen with sweat on her face and asked with concern:

"Old woman, it looks like the weather outside is really hot. Your face is full of sweat. Otherwise, I'll treat you to the remaining apples and give them to you, old woman, to eat."

After that, Rhine handed over an apple.

"Come on, old woman, eat an apple too."

"Okay, okay." The queen nodded nervously, looking at the boy's expectant expression, knowing that she had to eat it.

"I'll just eat the sour apple that the girl just threw away."

The queen picked up the sour apple that Aurora had put down after taking a bite from the window, and looked at the half that had been bitten off, and couldn't eat it.

"It should be okay. I must have put the two sides of the apple in reverse. This side is the one that the girl bit, so it must be non-toxic!"

While thinking, the queen took two more bites on the side that Aurora had already bitten.

"Well, this one is indeed more sour." The queen admitted.

The next moment, her eyes bulged out and her whole body trembled.

The poison took effect!

Plop.

The queen fell to the ground.

The magic she used for disguise was also lifted, revealing her original beautiful appearance.

"What is this?" Aurora was shocked.

"It's solved. This is too simple."

Rhine smiled and explained the cause and effect to Aurora in a simple way.

Just now, the strangling magic of the ribbon actually worked normally, but it could only strangle ordinary people to death, and it was useless for Aurora who was invulnerable.

To be honest, Rhine couldn't be completely sure where the boundary of Aurora's blessing of "cannot be harmed by man-made and natural weapons" was. Because he felt that whether the belt that strangled people was considered a "weapon" was a vague area of ​​judgment, he deliberately used divination to confirm it once to ensure that it was foolproof.

As for the curse issued by the black witch, "the spindle will pierce Aurora's finger and kill her", the reason why it was effective was that Rhine suspected that the spindle could only be used as a weaving tool normally, which was in the vague area of ​​blessing judgment, and was ambiguous, but the existence of curse magic chose an unfavorable judgment method, allowing the spindle to take effect. Of course, it is also possible that this curse cannot take effect at all.

Anyway, the blessings in epics, fairy tales and myths always highlight the needs of the plot, and there is no need to be literal.

As for the poisoned apple, Rhine was not worried at all. Because he and Aurora had been immune to all poisons after eating the precious plant roots given by the sea witch.

"What a pity," Rhine thought as he looked at the queen lying unconscious on the ground, "The queen is not immune to all poisons. She is not so lucky after eating the poisoned apple."

Aurora walked over and observed the queen on the ground:

"She is obviously still breathing and is not really dead."

Rhine was not surprised at all.

He knew that according to the original work, Snow White only fell into a coma after eating the poisoned apple. After Prince Charming kissed Snow White, the latter woke up.

Wait, why is it so similar to the original fate of Sleeping Beauty Aurora!

There are many similarities between fairy tales.

"So, how should we deal with this bad queen?"

Aurora looked at the unconscious queen on the ground and was immediately in trouble.

"Since she wants to kill us. Otherwise, we just kill her like this?"

Insomnia is particularly serious, I have to think of a way
