The magician of the fairy tale world

Prince Eric smiled. He raised the mermaid princess's hand high in front of him:

“So, let’s elope to the sea.

“Wouldn’t it be just in time for you to return to your sister and father?

"Your family will see that their princess has returned, bringing with her a handsome prince!"

What? Ariel was stunned:

"But, as a human, you cannot go to the sea! For humans, only the dead who sink to the bottom of the sea can go to the kingdom of the father."

The prince smiled and replied: "Normally speaking, mermaids can't grow legs and come to this shore. But didn't you stand in front of me?"

"..." Ariel was stunned.

"This is why I came to see Mr. Magician!"

Prince Eric bowed deeply to the silver-haired young magician who had been silent:

"Dear Magician, since you have a magic potion that makes Ariel lose her fish tail and grow legs, can you make a medicine with the opposite effect? ​​A medicine that makes human beings' ugly legs merge into a fish tail. Let Let me become a mermaid too!”

Ariel was stunned.

The next moment, she reacted: "Wait, no, how do you know that Rhine is..."

"Yes. I am the magician who gave Ariel the potion in the deep sea." Rhine admitted generously.

When he first met with His Highness the Prince, he needed to maintain an objective and neutral image, so he did not reveal the fact that he had known the mermaid princess Ariel.

——It is as if he is really an extremely objective soothsayer, obeying the king's order to reveal Ariel's life experience.

But now, this disguise is no longer needed.

"As expected." Prince Eric sighed softly, showing a bit of pride as a young man who had "guessed it right".

"When I was watching the divination screen you provided, I discovered that the magician who gave Ariel the free potion looked a lot like you, although his face was blurry.

"Last night, Ariel and I talked a lot and mentioned you many times. She is really bad at lying, because in addition to her beautiful little mouth, her eyes can also speak.

"Thank you, respected magician. If you hadn't given Ariel a free bottle of potion, I wouldn't have been able to hear her beautiful voice."

Rhine nodded slightly:

"Your Highness, as you said, I can indeed refine the magic potion that turns humans into mermaids. Because my alchemy skills are more advanced than the witches in the sea.

"Just like my magic potion can make fish grow human legs, by using several herbs from the forest and inverting the potion, I can fuse human legs into beautiful fish tails and give them the ability to breathe in the sea. .

“This potion only changes the body, not the soul.

"Just like Ariel cannot automatically obtain an immortal soul after becoming a human, Your Highness, after you become a mermaid, you still retain your original immortal soul, and you can also share this immortal soul with Ariel!

"However, even if you use the magic potion to turn Ariel back into a mermaid, the curse that was already on Ariel will not be lifted. It will be much more troublesome to lift the curse."

Prince Eric listened carefully to Rhine's story.

Then, the human prince held the mermaid princess’s hand:

"This is so wonderful, Ariel, do you hear it? Let's drink the magic potion together and become two mermaids in the sea. Let's jump into the sea together and swim freely!

"Last night, you told me a lot about your time in the sea, about your father's palace and the gardens of your sisters, about the pearls and shells used as decorations on Neptune's palace, and about you looking at the stars from the sea. When compared to the sun, they look dimmer but larger; when you look up in the sea, if you see a large dark cloud-like shadow, there is a ship or a giant whale swimming by.

"This is so beautiful, I can't even imagine it! I can't wait to see this scenery.

"When we turn into mermaids and return to the palace in the deep sea, your sister and father will be extremely happy to see their little princess back!

"We will hold a wedding in the deep blue sea, and all the mermaids will bless us at that time. You can be with your family again."

Ariel covered her mouth and was speechless, her eyes filled with mist.

"My Ariel, there is no better ending than this - not even the most accomplished novelist could write a more perfect ending!

"Imagine, even if I have never been engaged, our holy marriage will not be hindered in any way, even if tomorrow a herald rides on horseback throughout the kingdom to announce the good news that we are engaged, even if we finally get married in the presence of a priest. As husband and wife, holding hands and accepting the blessing of the bishop, making eternal vows, is that really the perfect ending for you?

"No, it's not!

"My Ariel, in this hypothesis, you may gain love and an eternal soul, but you will never lose your family and the homeland you once loved. You will always stay in the country on the earth and cannot return. Go to the blue sea!

"Thank you to my father. I am also grateful to the Ender princess who I never knew and who was arranged to marry me. They gave me a reason to escape from the palace on the ground.

"I can follow you to the palace in the sea, I can meet your family and say hello to them. We will dance and sing together in the palace of the sea, and finally turn into foam on the waves!"

Ariel's voice trembled.

She wanted to refuse loudly, but the images of her grandmother, father and sisters emerged in her mind one after another.

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

"But, Eric, you will lose a lot. You will lose your beautiful legs as a human being, become an inhuman monster, lose your noble status as a prince, and leave your father and the Kingdom of West Asia forever, just to... be with me?"

Prince Eric smiled again:

"Isn't this what you did for me?"

Ariel was speechless for a moment.

Just as the two looked at each other affectionately, Rhine handed over two cans of brown medicinal wine without understanding the style:

"The medicine that can turn human legs into fish tails is ready."

"So fast?" Ariel was stunned.

"It's always faster when you are skilled." Rhine shrugged and stroked the big dog who had just taken blood.

"The potion that turns human legs into fish tails is different from the previous potion. It is not like clear water, but like bitter and fragrant wine. Mermaids only need a simple reason to go ashore, but humans who want to become mermaids must have a complicated story that is as bitter but full of charm as this medicinal wine." Rhine introduced.

"Does this magical medicinal wine that can turn into a mermaid have a nice name?" Prince Eric took the medicinal wine and asked curiously while thanking.

"I added mermaid tears as an ingredient, so it is called... uh, Pearl Tears Elegy?" Rhine recalled some things in his previous life and couldn't help laughing, "Just kidding, there is no need for a name."

"Rhine, my human friend, respected magician, you have helped us again! I really don't know how to repay you." Ariel said excitedly.

"I will tell you when I think of what I want." Rhine said.

With another favor, Rhine couldn't help but sigh: As a wish magician, it is indeed easy for him to accumulate favors. I have to think about how to spend these favors in the future.

The two of them each held a bottle of brown medicinal wine, looked at each other, and asked nervously:

"Respected magician and prophet Rhine, you can see the future that we can't see. When do you suggest that we go to the coast, grow fish tails together, and jump into the sea?"
