The magician of the fairy tale world

Listening to the conversation, seeing Maleficent in the mirror showing various expressions, Rhine, whose guess was finally verified, was thoughtful and muttered the word:

"Witch Society..."

He had a hunch that with the influence of this organization, he would have to deal with this organization in the future.

"That old witch is a reserve member of the Witch Society. When the news of her death is known to the Witch Society, Aurora and I will definitely be noticed by them."

"The sea witch living in the coral forest is in danger. Find a chance to tell her this news."

Rhine tried to trace back to the earlier communication information, but failed after all.

The information that can be obtained by divination is limited after all.

After putting away the mirror, Rhine pulled a hair from the old witch's body and saved it for subsequent divination. His figure disappeared into the air.

The light of dawn shone on the street he left.

...

The sun was rising slowly from the sea level in the east.

On the deck of the flower boat of the Kingdom of West Asia.

Prince Eric hugged Ariel tightly, repeating words of love over and over again, as if he believed that as long as he loved her more during this last moment, the immortal soul would grow from Ariel's body and avoid the ending of his lover turning into foam.

"Ariel, when we return to the Kingdom of West Asia, as long as you are safe, we will hold a grand wedding!"

"The wedding will be held on a ship in the center of the ocean, where the human world and the Kingdom of the Sea meet, so that your grandmother, your sister and your father can also see how happy you are."

"I won't let my father stop us again. If he still disagrees and wants me to be a bargaining chip for marriage, then we will go to the world in the sea together."

"..."

Ariel stroked the prince's face, which was trembling with anxiety:

"Don't worry about me, Eric, I think I should be fine."

Next to the two, Aurora turned her head every once in a while to look at the increasingly bright east.

She looked at the light bursting out from the sea level, and watched the whiteness of dawn dispel the darkness of the night and melt the stars, and she was also very nervous.

Aurora walked around uneasily, worried that the final ending would not be good.

They had gone through so much, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, Ender's conspiracy was exposed, and the old witch should have been defeated by the teacher. Everyone was about to usher in a happy ending! How could Ariel fall before dawn?

Finally, the golden sun rose completely, and the bright sunlight was sprinkled on the sea, warm and pleasant.

The sea breeze blew, and the golden and purple flags on the ships fluttered in the wind. The cries of seagulls rose and fell in the distance.

"Ariel, you're okay, you're intact!"

Both Aurora and Prince Eric confirmed with their own eyes that Ariel was safe.

The light of dawn did fall, but Ariel did not turn into foam on the sea.

"It seems that such a hasty and interrupted wedding does not meet the triggering conditions of the curse at all."

Prince Eric said with a smile. He hugged his girl by the waist and kissed her again to celebrate her safety.

Aurora finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed with the prince's guess:

"Indeed, it should be as Prince Eric said.

"This wedding lacks true love, is too hasty and simple, and was only halfway done. Even the nominal bride and groom do not approve of it. It is not considered a marriage with others at all, so Ariel is still safe and sound."

Just as they wanted to celebrate, the boy's clear and peaceful voice came from behind:

"It's not like that.

"This nominal wedding is still valid, which is enough to trigger the curse on Ariel."

The three were stunned.

I saw that Rhine had returned to the boat without knowing when, and was leaning on the edge of the boat with his arms, looking at the golden sea in the distance under the sun, letting the cool sea breeze touch his silver hair.

Rhine turned his head and smiled:

"There is only one reason why Ariel is still safe and sound.

"Long before this flower boat arrived at the port of Ende Imperial City, long before the old witch started this plan, Ariel had already obtained an immortal soul!

"As early as when the ship was on its way to Ende, I quietly boarded the ship, approached Ariel, and performed a complex divination for her, and came to the above conclusion."

The three people's eyes froze, and they were stunned at the same time.

"That is to say..." Prince Eric opened his mouth in surprise.

"Yes," Rhine said calmly, "the old witch's conspiracy had no chance of success from the beginning."

"For a mermaid who has obtained an immortal soul from a human who loves her, this curse is equivalent to non-existence."

Everyone thought of the old witch's smirk before, and combined with the truth that Rhine said now, everyone suddenly felt that the old witch was like a complete clown.

"But, but," Aurora was stunned, "Teacher, didn't you say before that it was only a few days after Prince Eric knew Ariel's true identity, and the time they loved each other was too short to give her an immortal soul?"

"Prince Eric's love alone is indeed not enough." Rhine paced slowly on the deck, and did not continue to talk, but turned his head to look at the golden sea in the distance:

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

“Love in the world comes in many forms, far more than love between a man and a woman, far more than love.

“When a human being is emotionally invested in a mermaid without an immortal soul, cares about her, thinks about her, and worries about her, a trace of his soul will split off and merge into the mermaid’s body.

"When enough soul threads are shared, the quantitative change will turn into a qualitative change, and an immortal soul will grow in the mermaid's body."

Aurora lowered her head, already understanding what the teacher meant.

Ariel also covered her mouth and looked at the silent Aurora.

"Me?" Aurora murmured softly.

"Yes," Rhine smiled, "Except for Prince Eric, there is more than one human on this land who cares about Ariel. Compared to Prince Eric, who only knew Ariel's true identity about a week ago, you and Ariel It’s even earlier to get acquainted.”

Aurora understood.

In addition to Prince Eric, there is another human love that together gives Ariel an immortal soul.

And that human being is her.

When the three of them got acquainted for the first time in the ocean, when Ariel told her wish to her new human friends, when she defended Ariel in front of the sea hag because of her simple sense of justice, when she fell in love with the blue When the beautiful seabed wanted to say "I feel sorry for the mermaids", when she ran anxiously for Ariel's safety in the dark night...

In every such moment, a trace of soul is splitting out of her body and integrating into Ariel's body.

"Aurora!"

Ariel could no longer contain her excitement.

She rushed over and hugged this little blond girl who was much shorter than herself but had extraordinary abilities.

"Thank you, my human friend. It was you who saved me! It was you who always worried about me and thought about me, which saved my heart from breaking and my body from turning into foam on the sea.

"I remember, in front of the Sea Witch, you once said that besides the prince, I can obtain an immortal soul because of the love of another human being.

"When I heard your thoughts, I was shocked.

"Now, it's true. Thank you!"

Aurora felt a little embarrassed to be thanked like this and held like a child, and a blush appeared on her face.

"I'm sorry, Aurora. I didn't tell you the truth last night, but tried to create a tense atmosphere."

Rhine smiled and explained:

"That's because the newly born immortal soul is too fragile. If it suddenly loses the water of love, it is not absolutely impossible to dissipate.

"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong when Prince Eric may lose his memory, I want to create a sense of crisis, to ensure that you are always worried about Ariel, and that your emotions for Ariel are always there."

Aurora nodded, completely understanding the teacher's intention.
