Chapter 152 Magredo’s Conspiracy

Unlike the others, Aurora went to the Emerald City to find Rhine.

As for whether Oz is the real great wizard…

What does that have to do with her?
It would be better if Oz really had no real knowledge! This shows that the bet she made with the Witch of the North out of anger was a win.

“Enough of the nonsense, just get yourself killed!”

Aurora raised her sword and rushed directly towards the magician!
Her speed was so fast that she left a long trail of afterimages in the air.

“Aurora is amazing!” Dorothy’s eyes widened in amazement at her companion’s performance.

This was the first time she saw Aurora use her full strength.

Obviously this girl looks the same size as her, but her abilities are much higher!

The Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man all marveled in their hearts at how great the girl was.

The lion remembered: before it joined the team, it roared and wanted to scare the two girls, but Aurora picked it up like a kitten, making it scream with fear. Everyone then realized that the lion was actually a coward.

“Hey, hey, hey, little girl, why are you so rough?”

Magredo was so frightened when he saw Aurora rushing towards him like lightning that he stumbled back and fell to the ground.

He is not actually a very powerful magician, he only has a few miscellaneous skills.

In this split second, Magredo quickly rubbed the ring in his hand and muttered:
“Quick, get me out of here!”

This ring is Magrido’s most powerful treasure. There is an elf living inside it who will obey his orders.

With a bang, Magredo’s figure disappeared in a cloud of mist.

“You ran away just like that. I thought you were going to fight me. What a coward!”

Aurora looked at the empty ground in front of her and muttered a few words, feeling helpless.

After her previous battle with Maleficent, she felt that her strength and fighting skills had reached a new level.

Even if she meets Maleficent in her prime again, it will still be difficult to win, but she will definitely not be as passive as before!
She also hoped that the magician would transform into a giant dragon or a giant beast and fight with her, just to test the improvement of his strength.

Unexpectedly, this guy ran away directly!
Just as Aurora was feeling a little lost, she noticed that the expressions of Dorothy and others around her had become much darker.

“It looks like he is indeed a wizard – although he is an evil wizard, but at least he is a real wizard. He is not like me, just an ordinary little girl.” Dorothy said, recalling the scene just now, “So could what he said be true?”

In Dorothy’s opinion, people who can do magic must be more knowledgeable and know almost everything, although she is not sure whether this perception is correct.

The Scarecrow became sad: “If Oz were just an ordinary man, wouldn’t he be able to give me a brain full of wisdom?”

“And my heart,” said the Tin Woodman dejectedly.

“And my courage,” said the lion dejectedly.

“And my… uh, and I want to be a real boy!” Pinocchio followed suit, not caring that his speaking format did not match his companions.

Everyone was dejected and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely depressing.

“Everyone, cheer up, there is no need for you to be disappointed!”

Aurora encouraged everyone and said seriously:
“Don’t forget, my teacher, the great magician Rhine, is also in the Emerald City now. If Oz is really just a liar, an ordinary person without magic power, I ask my teacher to fulfill your wish!”

After hearing Aurora’s words, everyone was refreshed and excited again.

“Yeah, I almost forgot that Aurora’s teacher is also a magician.”

“We don’t have to put our hopes on Oz alone.”

Seeing everyone cheer up again, Aurora was in a much better mood. To be honest, she was not sure whether Rhine could really give the Scarecrow a brain and the Tin Man a heart.

——All the way she did not feel that the Scarecrow had no brains, nor that the Tin Man had no heart, and she did not understand why her two companions were so sure that they did not have these things.

With different wishes in mind, everyone set out on the journey to the Emerald City again.

But as they walked, they couldn’t help but think:

“Is Oz really just an ordinary person who can’t do magic?”

On the hillside in the distance.

Magredo watched Aurora, Dorothy and the others go away and disappear on the horizon.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and a wicked smile appeared.

“Hahaha, Oz, you little old man from the circus, just wait to be exposed!”

“I want to see how the people of Emerald City will vent their anger after they know that they have been deceived by you for so long!”

As Maglido thought about it, he took out a mirror, stroked the surface of the mirror, and chanted a spell.

On the dark mirror surface, ripples spread out.

The majestic face of Emperor Ende appeared in the mirror.

“Your Majesty, I am so sorry.

“The Eastern Witch who was originally scheduled to cooperate with me was killed. This caused our plan to be delayed a little.

“But this does not affect the overall situation.

“It won’t be long before I expose Oz’s true identity and tell everyone that he is a liar who has deceived the world and stolen his reputation!
“And I, who revealed the truth—a true magician, am more qualified to be the king of this land!

“At that time, I will submit to your Majesty’s empire as a king, and Oz will fall into the hands of the empire.

“This unknown green field in the desert will become part of the empire’s territory and a strategic bridge connecting the east and west of the continent!”

In the mirror, the Emperor of Ende Country nodded, his voice calm:
“Then as soon as possible.”

His eyes suddenly became sharper, containing a hint of anger:

“Many warriors of the empire have died because of your wrong decisions. If you fail again this time…”

The emperor said no more.

But Magredo outside the mirror was already sweating profusely and could only nod stiffly:

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission this time! I will never fail again!”

The heroic and majestic emperor’s expression softened, and he turned to ask:
“Have you found the location of the wishing lamp?

“You said that the magic lamp has great magical power, far greater than your ring.

“Ancient books record that the magic lamp is buried deep in a treasure house. Judging from the map, it is near the Land of Oz.”

Magredo wiped the sweat from his forehead:
“I’m searching hard. By comparing the nearby scenes with the descriptions in ancient books, I will definitely find the exact location of the treasure house as soon as possible!
“After all, I’m not the King of Oz yet. I can’t send out a large group of soldiers to search for you in a high-profile manner. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous!
“When I replace Oz and become king, everything will be much easier.”

Emperor Ende nodded slightly, and the image in the mirror returned to darkness again.

“Magrido, I’ll give you a month. Remember, you can’t fail…”
