The magician of the fairy tale world

Aurora felt that the sea hag's question was simply baffling.

"Since it is eternity, how can there be a concept of length? This is a completely contradictory question."

Why does this sea witch always ask such strange questions?

Aurora replied with the mentality of giving it a try and not losing money:

"Eternity is infinite time."

The sea hag smiled:

"Yes, then eternity - that is, infinite length, how long is it?"

The sea ghost woman's sarcastic smile made the young girl a little angry.

Seeing Aurora's angry but helpless expression, Rhine smiled and said:

"Have you noticed? When the sea hag just told us about the specialness of the immortal soul, she used a poetic description. Just like the previous puzzle, it is also like a poem.

“I think that represents the direction of the answer she wants.

"Future King of Rose Kingdom, most things in the world cannot be completely covered by logic and dialectics. Try it and use the way of thinking in fairy tale books to answer the second question."

Using the way of thinking in a fairy tale book... Aurora pondered the teacher's words.

While Aurora was still meditating, the silver-haired boy stepped forward, like a bard sitting in a campfire telling stories, and spoke:

“Above the sea, deep in the land where humans live, in a place far, far away, there is a mountain of diamonds.

"This Diamond Mountain is huge. If you want to go up, it will take a year to climb to the top; if you want to go sideways around the mountain, it will also take a year; if you just go straight into the depths, It would also take a year to walk everywhere, even to the back of the mountain.

“Every hundred years, a bird will fly from afar, peck at Diamond Mountain with its beak, and then flutter its wings and turn away.

"Many of the humans who live at the foot of the mountain will never see a bird come this way in their entire lives.

"Only the oldest centenarians can witness the miracle of birds flying twice in their entire lives, and take this experience as a source of pride."

The sea hag sighed softly:

"Yes, human lifespan is so short compared to us.

“This is indeed a beautiful story about life and time.

"But what does this story have to do with my question?"

Rhine smiled and told the end of the story:

"When the entire Diamond Mountain is pecked out by that bird, the first second of eternity will end."

The coral reef forest fell silent.

Everything was silent. The only sound was the gurgling of water bubbles emerging from the cracks, and the sound of fish swimming in the distance.

Aurora suddenly understood:

"I see. The second puzzle is not a literal question, but allows us to describe the weight of 'eternal immortality' in the 'eternal immortal soul' in some way."

How cunning.

The sea hag burst out laughing:

"Haha, interesting answer.

"As expected of a human with an eternal soul, he personally told me the weight of eternity. How did you come up with such an interesting answer, human?"

Rhine said truthfully:

"The answer wasn't something I thought of. It was a story told in a book I'd read before. The best I could do was add a little detail to it."

This is the beautiful story told by the little shepherd boy in "The Grimm's Fairy Tales" when he answered the king's question.

Of course, what made Rhine deeply interested in this story in his previous life was that it was mentioned in an episode of Doctor Who.

Unexpectedly, here, in another completely different story, the same answer can be used!

At this moment, Rhine heard Aurora lower her voice behind her:

"Teacher, I'm thinking about something.

“Today, after learning such a big secret from your conversation, I finally figured it out.

"Teacher, I am eternal just like you."

…

The sea hag suddenly remembered something and said coldly:

"To the last question, I would like to add a rule.

"According to the rules, it is the two of you who answer the questions. But the previous two questions were answered by the silver-haired boy.

"So, I think the last question should be answered by the blonde girl first. That way you two can answer it, not one person!"

Ignoring Aurora's cry of "This is unfair", the sea hag asked word by word:

"Well, now comes the third and final question!"

Just as the sea witch was about to ask the question, Rhine suddenly felt a blazing energy coming from the distant sea water, penetrating the belly of the big fish and radiating to his skin.

The power of the Destiny Child's wish!

Rhine understood instantly:

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

"Getting the answer to this question" is the sea hag's wish!

If anything, the first two questions are just a test of the questioner.

So, the answer to the last question is what the sea hag really longs for.

Only those who know the secret of the immortal soul and clearly understand the weight of eternity are qualified to answer this question!

"Now, please tell me. How can we, non-human beings, obtain an immortal soul like yours?" asked the sea hag.

"Is this actually the problem?"

Rhine almost couldn't believe his ears.

Didn't you know?

Rhine certainly knows the answer.

The answer is "love".

If humans love a mermaid from the bottom of their hearts, they can give the latter an immortal soul. And the original immortal soul of humans will not disappear.

There are too few descriptions about the sea witch in the original work, but from the fact that she can instantly guess the intention of the little mermaid in the original work, she should know about it.

"Could it be that in this world, the sea witch came into contact with the black witch Maleficent and the witch gathering behind her, and studied the terrible black magic, so that she was completely rejected by the kingdom of the sea, and was unable to come into contact with this secret and beautiful knowledge?"

Rhine guessed, and glanced at Aurora who was thinking hard.

Of course, Aurora didn't know the answer.

- Today she just learned that humans have an immortal soul, how could she know how non-human creatures can obtain an immortal soul?

The young magician suddenly had an idea, pointed at Aurora, and said to the sea hag with a smile:

"My friend has already given the answer.

"According to the rules you set, all three questions have been answered, which should tell us everything about Maleficent."

What?

When did she say that?

The sea hag looked confused.

Since she finished reading the questions, Aurora has not said a word!

Rhine glanced at the extremely confused sea hag and the mermaid princess, and reiterated the sea hag's rules:

"The last question should be answered by the blonde girl first.

"According to this rule, as long as she gives the answer before me, it will be fine. Even if the answer is before the question is asked."

The answer is before the question is asked? Ariel didn't understand what the boy said at all.

What does this mean?

How can the answer be given when the question hasn't even been asked?
