Aurora said this, not worrying that anyone in the Ender country's delegation would recognize her.
When fighting against the invaders, she wore a helmet and mask, and asked the witches to give her some illusion disguise.
Aurora is worried that Rhine's identity has now been made public.
Many people in the palace have heard that the fortune teller recruited by the king is a magician from the northern Kingdom of Rose!
As a sage of the Kingdom of Rose and a famous magician who once fought against the invaders of Ender, he might arouse the hostility of the delegation from the bandit country.
"There's no need. We're not afraid of them." Rhine shrugged.
"I think so too!" Aurora agreed with the teacher, raising her fist and waving it fiercely in the air a few times. "If they cause trouble for us, we will fight back!"
The two then walked back to the luxurious room Prince Eric had arranged for them.
Sitting on the soft bed, Rhine put his hands in his pockets and checked his recent gains.
The heavy, hard object in the spacious pocket was the reward for fulfilling the prince's wish.
It was a small bottle of pink perfume.
Looking at this magical item formed by the power of wishes on the table, Rhine couldn't help but think:
"So, after fulfilling the Child of Destiny's wish, the reward you receive can actually be physical. How many secrets does my [Wish Magician] talent hold that I don't understand?"
"According to the knowledge that emerged from my mind after my wish was fulfilled, anyone who wears a drop of this perfume will no longer appear to others as their true self, but instead will appear as their beloved."
"Whether it's temperament, demeanor, or voice, it will be modified in the observer's mind, just like the person they love."
"For example, if I put a drop on myself, in the eyes of Prince Eric now, I would look like Ariel, but in the eyes of the King of the Summer Kingdom, I would probably look like the Queen... Uh, no, the person the King truly loves may not be the Queen. They are just married for political reasons."
"So, this perfume also has the function of 'detecting who someone's true love is'!"
"What if there's no one you love? Will the perfume lose its effect?"
"It reminds me of a Foundation artifact. But it also looks like a prop from a fantasy fairy tale world."
"If the scene is right, it will definitely be useful!"
"What should we name it? This is the part I'm worst at."
Rhine told Aurora the function of the perfume and asked for her opinion on naming it.
Aurora didn't ask Rhine where the magic perfume came from. In her opinion, it was normal for a magician to always come up with strange props.
After listening to Rhine's introduction, Aurora did not directly name the magic perfume, but sighed:
"What a magical prop!
"It's like the embodiment of the twisted love and fate between Prince Eric, the mermaid princess Ariel, and the human girl who awakens the prince on the shore."
Rhine's heart moved:
Indeed.
The reward for fulfilling my wish this time is like turning that twisted fate into reality!
"Fuzzy memories, loving the wrong person, recognizing the wrong face, the mockery of fate, a substitute for love." Rhine stared at the small pink bottle that was not much bigger than a thumb and muttered to himself.
He recalled their tortuous love story again.
Prince Eric mistakenly regarded the human girl who awakened him - Rhine knew that she was the princess of Ender - as the only one who saved him, and forgot about Ariel; but he used Ariel as a substitute for the human girl who awakened him.
"Let's call this perfume [Wrong Love]," said Rhine.
Its name was thus finalized.
Leaning on the sofa, the little magician's thoughts wandered:
"It seems that there is still a lot to be studied about the [Wish Magician] talent!"
"The only thing that is certain is that the reward received may be related to the content of the wish, or it may be related to the wisher himself."
"So far, I've only fulfilled the wishes of five or six children of destiny. That's still a very small sample! Alas, it's a pity that Ariel's relatives don't seem to be children of destiny."
As Rhine thought about it, he took out the memory bubble that the sea witch had given them before - it contained many of the sea witch's memories of Maleficent.
On the first day they obtained the memory bubble, Rhine and Aurora read it carefully.
"Although, in theory, this memory only contains personal information about the black witch Maleficent, and does not contain any information about the witches' coven. But we can also vaguely infer some information about the witches' coven from the conversation between the sea hag and Maleficent," Rhine thought.
Judging from various fragmentary words, the Sea Hag is a marginal member of the entire witch group and the one with the least presence.
One of the most important pieces of information is what the black witch Maleficent once said to the sea hag:
"Remember, Sea Witch, you are always an unqualified member. We can kick you out at any time if we want!
"According to the rules, if you want to join us, you must first destroy or control a kingdom! Just like the dozens of kingdoms I have destroyed before!
"You have never completed this initiation mission. It is only by providing some useful potion recipes that we have reluctantly acknowledged your value, and only then have you retained your qualification until now."
If you want to join this witch group, you must first destroy or take over a kingdom!
Rhine was deeply aware that, apart from the sea hag, every other member of this witch coven must be extraordinary!
"Unfortunately, there are simply too many kingdoms, large and small, in the Western Continent. Furthermore, some members of this gathering may have lived for a very long time, joining the gathering hundreds or even thousands of years ago. With just this one clue, it's impossible to identify the specific members of the gathering."
At this time, Aurora stared at the starry sky outside the window and became worried about her mermaid friend again.
"By the way, could you use magic to see how the banquet at Prince Eric and Ariel's place is going?" Aurora said. "It feels strange to me that they're hosting the bandits from Ender."
"sure."
Rhine smiled and placed the crystal ball on the table. He placed Ariel's fish scales in front of the crystal ball and began divination.
After a while, tiny stars emerged from the crystal ball, like the vast universe.
The starlight moved and gathered into a detailed colorful picture. This was the main hall of the palace of the Summer Kingdom.
The king, Prince Eric, the little mermaid Ariel, the envoys from Ender, princes and ministers... one image after another appeared in the crystal ball.
