The magician of the fairy tale world

Chapter 3 Naming Sleeping Beauty

From then on, the queen would go for a walk by the river every evening.

Whenever she walked to the river, she would lean down and observe the fish in the water.

Or turn your ears to see if the fish are whispering in human language.

Or take the initiative to ask Yu'er if she can have a child of her own.

It's like this every night.

Every day, only the sound of gurgling water responds to the queen's call.

The fish was silent.

The king, who had long since given up hope, followed his wife every time, not understanding what his wife was doing.

Or maybe they vaguely guessed it, but didn’t point it out or stop it.

It’s another drunken evening.

The sun is fading.

The queen squatted by the river as always, watching the bloody setting sun dye the river water crimson, and watching the fish shuttle in the sparkling river water.

The queen, as usual, whispered to the fish swimming in the water:

"Can I have a child of my own?"

Day after day of fruitless attempts made the queen already regard the process of "squatting down and asking the fish in the water" as part of her daily routine.

She didn't even realize that she was already numb in the completely fruitless process, and she didn't expect anything to be gained today.

As usual, only the sound of running water as clear as silver bells responded to the queen's inquiry.

"It's still the same as before..."

The queen got up and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a golden fish swam into the water in front of the queen and stopped.

The queen's eyes narrowed.

A surprising scene reflected in the queen's increasingly dilated pupils——

The fish opened its mouth and mouthed human words:

"My dear queen, your wish will soon come true.

"You and the king are about to have a lovely daughter."

After saying that, the fish shook its tail and disappeared into the school of fish in the Queen's stunned sight.

The queen's expression was frozen on her face, and she was stunned in place, like a stone statue.

After several seconds, she suddenly realized what had just happened.

What I just experienced was like a dream.

"The fish spoke!"

"The fish spoke in human language and gave me a blessing!"

The queen was surprised and happy, dancing excitedly, and ran to tell the king what she had seen.

Seeing his wife running towards him excitedly, the king looked puzzled and thought the queen was hallucinating because she longed for a child.

But then, several loyal guards around him said:

"Your Majesty, we just saw with our own eyes that a fish spoke and blessed Her Majesty the Queen!"

Soon after, the queen turned out to be pregnant.

"What the magician said is true. He didn't lie to me!"

The king was surprised and delighted to see his elderly wife giving birth to a child for the first time.

"Summon the magician Rhine and summon him into the palace!"

In fact, there was no need to wait for the king's attendant to send another message. Rhine, who was far away on the edge of the kingdom, already knew that the wish had been fulfilled.

In the forest cabin, Rhine's body trembled, and he immediately felt the majestic power of wish coming towards him.

The magic power deep in the soul was boiling like boiling water, rising at an extremely alarming speed, and it took a while before it calmed down.

Feeling that the magic power in his body was much more powerful than before, Rhine was surprised and happy.

Sure enough, Sleeping Beauty's parents, as important characters in the fairy tale, are the "protagonists of fate". If they realize their wish of "having an heir", they will naturally receive a lot of benefits.

Although this was an inevitable fate that would have happened, Rhine cured their old illnesses, prescribed useful medicines, made correct predictions, and accelerated the course of their fate.

The king and queen did not know the fate, and believed from the bottom of their hearts that this was Rhine's contribution.

Therefore, you can still obtain the corresponding willingness!

"It seems that I have learned a new magic!"

The young man walked out of the house, waved his little hand, and the emerald green light bloomed.

The fallen leaves in the forest seemed to come alive, flying up on their own without wind, and rolled up into hazy human shapes.

The little man made of fallen leaves bowed respectfully to the little magician.

This is the magic that Rhine newly acquired after realizing the wish of the king and queen to "get an heir", which can give life to dead things.

The simplest way to use it is to temporarily activate surrounding objects and turn them into servants and soldiers that obey you. In addition, there are more complex functions to be developed.

"It's pretty easy to use, and it has some self-protection capabilities. Let's call it 'giving life'."

Rhine waved his hand gently, causing the little figures made of fallen leaves to disperse and turn into broken leaves on the ground.

He was convinced that although his current level of magic power was probably not as good as the 12 powerful witches in the kingdom, it should not be too different.

There is only a relatively large gap in the experience as a spell caster and the type of magic learned. One or two more similar wishes would make up for it.

Rhine couldn't help but daydream:

“Just helping the parents of Sleeping Beauty come true has such a great benefit.

"Right now, Sleeping Beauty has not yet been born. Otherwise, if I help the Sleeping Beauty herself, as the real protagonist of the story, will there be greater gains?"

After gathering his thoughts, more doubts and curiosity emerged in the young man's heart:

"Did I travel back in time to the story of "Sleeping Beauty"?"

"But the story of Sleeping Beauty only has one kingdom, and it doesn't mention what the world outside the kingdom is like."

"But here, I can often hear the legends of other kingdoms, and the stories of magicians and warriors from other countries."

"Besides the kingdom of Sleeping Beauty, what is this broader fantasy continent like?"

Rhine was summoned by the king again.

The handsome boy, dressed in a magician's attire and wrapped in a robe and hood, was escorted by guards to the splendid palace.

The robe was a bit too long for Rhine's petite body and hung to the ground.

The sun is shining brightly today, with pure white clouds lining the blue sky.

In the palace, the old king was smiling:

"Praise be to you, sage of the forest. Your prophecy has come true. The fish has given its blessing to my wife, and we will soon have a child of our own."

Rhine returned the favor to the king:

"No need to thank me, Your Majesty. It's all fate. I just played a small part in it."

He then asked:

"Does Your Majesty have any other requests for summoning me this time?"

The old king's eyes suddenly shone, and he said the line he had wanted to say for a long time:

"Sage of the forest, I heard that you live in a wooden house in the forest. The dilapidated house cannot protect you from the wind and rain.

"There are warriors with amazing strength in my palace, but there are no outstanding wise men and superb magicians like you.

"Your Excellency Rhine, I sincerely invite you to live in the palace and become a consultant to the palace in the next ten years!

“You will be regarded as a sage in our Kingdom of Lolth.

"You will have countless gold and silver, the people of the kingdom will revere you, and fully armed soldiers will guard your safety day and night.

"You will have the power second only to me. No matter what kind of request you have, as long as it is within a reasonable range, the whole kingdom will try their best to meet it!

"By the way, my palace also has an ancient magic book that records rich magical knowledge and a variety of powerful magics. If you are willing to become a sage in the palace, that magic book will also belong to you!

"Your Excellency Rhine, what do you think? Will you consider my proposal?"

Seemingly fearing Rhine's rejection, the king tried his best to offer the most generous terms.

As far as he knew, most magicians had eccentric personalities and liked to live in remote forest huts or dark ancient castles, preparing potions or studying ancient magic alone.

They may be summoned temporarily by the king, but they are not willing to serve the royal authority for a long time.

This is true for all 13 witches in the kingdom.

They might occasionally follow the king's orders, but they would never consider becoming advisors to the court.

Now, a new magician suddenly appeared in the kingdom, and his talents seemed to be as good as or even better than those of the existing witches in the kingdom!

Naturally, the king tried every means to win over.

"..."

Rhine was silent for a moment, seeming to consider the king's proposal.

The old king swallowed.

Even if he proposed generous terms, he was already mentally prepared for Rhine to refuse.

This continent is huge.

There are countless kingdoms, large and small.

The clouds are a kingdom of giants, mermaids swim in the sea, mysterious doors in the forest lead to unknown secrets, and there is a prosperous and powerful Eastern Empire in the Far East.

There are many kings like him in the world.

The vast majority of kings are not worthy of the long-term loyalty of a magician.

The next moment.

Under the steps of the throne, Juan Xiu looked like a silver-haired boy walking out of a painting, bowing gently.

"I agree to your request, Your Majesty. It is my honor."

Rhine put a hand on his chest.

"From now on, I will be the sage of the palace!"

The old king was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

He agreed!

Rhine couldn't even think of any reason for him to refuse.

10 years may be a long time to others, but to him, who will no longer age, it is just a passing cloud, a small fragment of thousands of years to come.

Maybe most other magicians are weird and lonely, but for him, why not enjoy the comfortable life of the palace.

Moreover, compared to reputation and material rewards, he was more interested in that ancient magic book!

The types of magic he masters now are too limited. Perhaps that magic book can teach him more practical magic and let him know more about the supernatural powers of this world.

In addition, after discovering that he was not in the ordinary fantasy medieval times, but in the kingdom of "Sleeping Beauty", Rhine became full of curiosity about this world.

What is it like outside the kingdom?

What kind of continent did I come to?

It is difficult for ordinary people in this era to understand things beyond the one-third of an acre of their own home. The legends learned from the surrounding civilians must be more false than true.

But not kings and nobles.

They must deal with foreign countries.

Perhaps, relying on the palace, I have the opportunity to understand the full picture of this broader fantasy continent outside the kingdom!

The king was still immersed in the joy and shock that the magician Rhine had agreed to his request, but the queen beside him could not wait to ask:

"Your Excellency Rhine, you said before that the child I will give birth to will be a smart and cute little princess, right?"

"Exactly."

Rhine replied.

The unborn princess is the future Sleeping Beauty!

The queen smiled happily and said:

"In that case, Sage of the Kingdom of Rose, Magician of the court, I would like to ask you to come up with a name for our lovely daughter."

Alas, I haven't written for a few months. It will take me some time to slowly return to my normal writing state and speed.
