Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

The Starfall City's Starry Barrier was once again enveloping the city, but the starlight seemed much dimmer than before.

However, within the city, one could still look up and see the illusion-like sky formed by magic.

"Poro, look at those few stars, connect them, and they look like a hunter."

On the rooftop of Lake Palace, Lake hugged Poro, pointing to the starry sky and saying.

In Starfall City, all the stars appear very clear, without any clouds or fog obscuring them, making them distinctly visible.

"That is the Orion constellation. Many hunters pray in the direction of that constellation before hunting."

Poro tilted his head to look at Lake, the starry river reflected in the girl's eyes, equally clear.

These stars are not just magical light spots, looking closely—

Many of them can correspond to the star charts in the sky.

"I know too, Poro, the star next to it seems to be called Sirius."

Lake listened, pondered slightly, and pointed to a star not far from the Orion constellation, saying to Poro, "Every wolf is blessed by Sirius!"

"Haha, but now, all the stars will bless you."

"No, Poro, the Star Slayer Sword tells me that the stars want to protect everyone who looks up at the sky, and I, along with the Star Child, are the representatives of the stars."

Lake shook her head, looking at the Star Slayer Sword beside her, "So, it's not that the stars will bless me, but that I will use the power given by the stars to protect more people."

"It's okay, you've already done very well."

Poro buried his head in the girl's arms, the girl's body was very soft, and the starlight sprinkled around, like a dream.

"Poro, what do you think those stars really are?"

Lake suddenly asked.

"They might be many suns, or they might be moons, because they are small, they appear as stars—of course, this is just my guess."

"Guess? Why would you guess that?"

"The reason I say it's a guess is because in this world, it's not necessarily true, they could also be something else."

"Something else? Like what?"

"God's eyes, glittering gems, or perhaps kind souls…"

Poro smiled, "But at least for now, they are one of the few things left in this world that are still beautiful."

"Yes, because there are stars, we finally defeated King Serei."

"King Serei is dead, and his sword is broken, but the Serei Kingdom has not stopped its actions."

"But today will be the beginning of the counterattack."

"War has caused so many people who should have been living happily to die like this, and relatives don't even have time to mourn."

Speaking of this, Poro paused, he opened one hand, and the book page [Circular Return: Star Child · Starry Sky of Suffering] emerged.

At this time, the Fairy Tale Authority within it had also emerged.

[Fairy Tale Authority: You can open the Starry Barrier anywhere you look up at the sky]

[Unsealing Ceremony: In the upcoming war, ensure the survival of more than thirty percent of the residents of Starfall City, their suffering will end because of this, and the starlight of tomorrow will still shine in the sky]

[Description: Perhaps life is always full of suffering, but the dark clouds will not stay forever. The next day, when you look up, the starry sky will still be as bright as ever]

"But this is a good ability."

Poro thought for a while, and handed the book page to Lake, "With this, we can also do many things in the war."

… …

In the Royal Garden of Starfall City, a forest formed by dianthus flowers.

Lake and Poro walked along the stone path into the forest. In a cluster of red and pink dianthus flowers, Lake and Poro saw the Queen of Starfall City, the Astrologer Witch.

She stood in the flowers, and in front of her was a silver stone tablet, which looked like it was made of broken city bricks.

"My condolences, Madam."

Lake and Poro knew that the Star Child had just been buried here.

"My child, he once said that he was a child of the stars and would not marry an ordinary woman like a mortal."

The Astrologer Witch did not answer, she was full of sorrow, only like an ordinary mother who had lost her child, whispering to herself, "He said that when he grew up and possessed stronger power, he would turn the most beautiful mangosteen flower into a pure and beautiful girl."

Speaking of this, the Astrologer Witch looked at the camellias and fell silent.

"His Majesty the King…"

"He didn't come. Compared to the people, our child may not occupy a more important position."

The Astrologer Witch shook her head, shifted her gaze, and looked at the two of them, "The reason I called you here this time is actually about my matter."

"Madam, is there anything you want us to help with?"

Lake and Poro exchanged a glance, and then asked again.

"I am not a witch who is good at fighting. The war magic circle that gathered starlight in the city earlier was a great burden for me, so I may not have the ability to cast spells for a long time."

The Astrologer Witch looked at the two of them calmly. Poro noticed that the palm of the Astrologer Witch, which she had cut open during the battle, was not completely healed at this time.

"And you are also people who have been in contact with magic, so I want you to replace me and become members of a secret society…"

"Secret society?"

Lake and Poro were stunned, they heard a familiar feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Astrologer Witch took out an invitation letter with twelve familiar magic patterns on it.

"This society is called the Witches' Tea Party."

After the Astrologer Witch finished speaking, she saw the strange expressions on Lake and Poro's faces, and raised her eyebrows, "Have you also heard of this society?"

But then, she saw Poro also take out an envelope that was exactly the same as the one in her hand.

"In fact, we have indeed encountered members of your society, and may have… killed a few of them."

Poro hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, another witch made an invitation letter for us."

"Ah?"

The Astrologer Witch listened, her eyes fell into a daze. She looked at the envelope in her hand, then looked at the envelope in Poro's hand, and finally, locked her gaze on one of the magic patterns—the one representing Poro's magic power.

"Okay, I was just saying… spellcasters like you must not be unknown people. I was also saying that the magic patterns of several people have changed, and I can too."

After speaking, she somewhat dejectedly put away her invitation letter again.

"So, you should also know our purpose?"

The Astrologer Witch thought for a while and said.

"Actually, we don't know."

Poro and Lake exchanged a glance, and then replied, "Wuhua Witch didn't tell us, and the other witches didn't have any chance to communicate with us.

We thought this might be a secret, maybe we'll only know when the time comes."

"That's right, this matter is very important. If it is used, the consequences may be extremely serious."

The Astrology Witch thought for a moment and said, "But since you are already members of the Witch Tea Party, and both Flower Dance Witch and I acknowledge your membership, there's no harm in you knowing these things."

Hearing this, Lake and Polo stopped speculating and quietly looked at the Astrology Witch, waiting for her to continue.

"As for this society, I am actually one of the founders. This plan was initially proposed by me."

Hearing these words, Lake and Polo were both stunned.

One of the founders?

They had never imagined that one of the founders of such a large magical organization wouldn't seem to possess overly powerful strength.

"Unlikely, right? But the formation of our organization wasn't for money or increasing power, but for magic and the world itself—common interests, but very loosely connected."

As the Astrology Witch spoke, she lowered her head again, looking at the grave of the Child of the Stars at her feet. Although that child, favored by the starlight, was once high above, now, his grave is still incredibly simple.

The latest novels are first published on 6 9 Shu Ba!

"But now I feel that perhaps our plan isn't necessarily correct."

"So, what did you do?"

"A god-making ritual."

The Astrology Witch said directly, "Just like the Child of the Stars who possessed the blessing of the stars, after we discovered the absence of heaven, we had this idea. We wanted to create a god belonging to magic with our own hands, but the initial attempt was stalled by the obstruction of a traitor."

As the Astrology Witch spoke, she led Lake and Polo through the garden, walking to an inconspicuous small house.

Inside the small house, there were many magical tools of unknown purpose.

It looked like it was where the Astrology Witch used to live.

She took out a map from a bookshelf. On the map, a location was marked after Starfall City.

"This is the Rose Kingdom. Have you heard of it?"

Hearing this, Polo recalled records and descriptions he had seen in a book, but these things were very vague, just some ambiguous rumors, "A country sealed off by roses and thorns?"

"Yes, those roses and thorns are real, caused by our failure."

The Astrology Witch said seriously, "The specific content is that twelve witches will bestow the strongest magical blessing they can upon a newborn princess.

And the magic she possesses will become stronger and stronger as she grows—

Magic is the miracle of this world.

In the process of growing up, she will not have any shortcomings, be able to use all the magic in the world, and will not be harmed by any factors, until she becomes the God of Magic, replacing God's position."

As the Astrology Witch spoke, she looked at the sky. This time, it didn't seem like she was looking at the stars, but at the magic represented behind that starry sky, "After that, we will usher in an era of magic.

We are spellcasters. Compared to God, we trust a god created by our own hands more."

After saying this, a hint of disbelief flashed in Polo's eyes.

Create a… God of Magic?

A fairy tale that sounded somewhat familiar to him, created by more witches from fairy tales?

While Polo was pondering, Lake asked a question:

"So, how did you fail?"

"In the beginning, the Witch Tea Party had thirteen witches, but the thirteenth witch, when she should have given her blessing, instead cast a vicious curse."

The Astrology Witch shook her head, "This curse caused the newly born 'Goddess of Magic' to fall into a deep sleep along with the capital of the entire Rose Kingdom, and the day she awakens is less than a year away."

"So the second Witch Tea Party is also to complete this plan?"

"If it were before, I would be unwavering in this plan, but now…"

The Astrology Witch looked at the starry sky again, "I think this might be wrong."

"Wrong?"

"Yes, just like the Child of the Stars, we gave a child endless power, but we can't control her mind—morality, personality, thoughts, goals…

These, all we can give are blessings and teachings."

The Astrology Witch shook her head, "The human heart will be influenced by magic, but now I think it shouldn't be defined at birth."

Speaking of this, the Astrology Witch looked at Lake and Polo, and suddenly asked again:

"Earlier, you said that you might have killed several witches, but I can see that your character isn't that bad. Then, the witches you killed should also be among those few…"

The Astrology Witch thought, thinking slightly, as if recalling, "Witches are not gods, and they also have their own loves, hates, and desires. The only consensus we have in establishing the Tea Party is to create an era belonging to magic.

Therefore, in the Tea Party, many of us have opposing positions, but we will not attack each other."

"I seem to understand what you mean."

Lake widened her eyes, "Are you saying that those bad witches…"

"Yes, we have never seen a god, so we certainly don't have the experience of raising one."

The Astrology Witch said firmly, "I can't even teach my own children well, how can I teach a… God of Magic? What if that powerful child is influenced by those other witches?"

"Should a god be destined to be a god from birth, or…"

"Climb the steps step by step during growth, gradually acquiring the qualities of being a god?"

The Astrology Witch said, taking a deep breath and falling into a long silence.

"Madam…"

Lake opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the Astrology Witch.

"You should leave first."

The Astrology Witch came back to her senses and looked at the two calmly, "The King is still waiting for you. There's nothing else here. Thank you for the Starfall City matter.

As for the Witch Tea Party, it's not time for it to begin yet."

"Understood, Madam."

Lake and Polo saw that the Astrology Witch had no intention of continuing the discussion, so they had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

When they passed by the tombstone of the Child of the Stars again, they saw someone unexpected.

The Leprous King was also silently looking at the tombstone in front of him, with no entourage beside him, and his armor had not had time to be taken off, as if he was silently thinking about something.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and looked at Lake and Polo, with a hint of apology in his eyes:

"Ah, you've come."

"Hello, Your Majesty."

"You came from thousands of miles away to save Starfall City, but now, there is nothing in our city that can be used as a reward. Whatever you ask for, I can grant it…"

"Your Majesty, we are not here for money or profit."

Lake quickly said.

"But no matter what, the people of Starfall City will be grateful to you. They should know who truly saved them in the prophecy."

The Leprous King nodded, his voice becoming a little lower, "But our war is not over yet. The Kingdom of Sweden lost, but they are not destroyed—their old king, who should have died, has reappeared and commands the army.

No matter what conspiracy they have, we must take today as a turning point and launch a counterattack."
