Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 190 Love Sacrifice
In the flagship of the Zhengtian flying ship, in a room near the back, is the library of the Kingdom of Weiser.

Poro looked up and saw that the books on the bookshelf were covered with dust. It seemed that no one had read or taken care of these books for a long time.

"Mr. Poro, could you help me get that book... um, the one on the far left in the second row?"

Poro looked up and used object control magic to take the book off the bookshelf.

It is not a magic book, but an ordinary book that records the governance of the Kingdom of Weser.

"You've already won, why don't you take a break? You've been watching all day and all night."

Poro placed the book on the desk in front of the Happy Prince.

"Thank you."

The Happy Prince took the book and quickly opened it. His two eyes, one blue and one blue, scanned the pages quickly, and at the same time, he made rapid notes in a notebook in front of him.

After writing a few lines, he looked at Poro, pointed at his own face and smiled:
"Do you think I need a break in my current state? I'm just a moving sculpture."

"But statues can't read books, and they won't be worshipped as leaders by the people."

Poro replied.

"Yes, just like I did countless years ago, I can see the suffering, but I can't move, I can't change anything."

The Happy Prince nodded and continued to look through the books on the desk.

A large part of them are various geographical records related to the Kingdom of Weser, as well as some historical documents.
"I have never experienced or participated in any war, nor have I learned how to govern a country.

When I was an ordinary person, I grew up in the 'Wuyou Palace' and had no contact with the outside world. I could get anything I wanted, and my ears were filled with praise and blessings from the people around me.

I know nothing, so I am happy."

As the Happy Prince spoke, he inserted arrows between several books as bookmarks, pulled out a map, and began to sketch something. "It was not until I saw suffering and began to decide to bring happiness to everyone that I realized how difficult such an ideal was.

I need to learn from books, summarize, think, and gain experience from failures...

I have devoted countless days and nights to revive my homeland Goethe, and I have also tried my best to face the sudden war.

The same is true now.”

Poro looked at the pages of the book in the Happy Prince's hand, the words written in the language of the Kingdom of Weser. He knew what the Happy Prince was doing now and why.

"Are you preparing for the Kingdom of Weiser?"

"Yes, I took over this war-torn country and its people from the hands of the Kingdom of Weiser. So, I have the responsibility to make this country a better place and to make the people live a better life.

Now, with my inhuman abilities, I can do more—and I must do it!"

"That's it..."

The Poro nodded, and a light flickered in his eyes as he looked at the Happy Prince.

Along the way with Lake, he has seen many kings, but the one in front of him is the one he respects the most.

"But... Poro, thank you for your help. The king always has to give some rewards to heroes. Uh, what do you want?"

The Happy Prince looked at the Poro staring at him beside the bookshelf, thinking he had misunderstood something and looked a little apologetic.

"Although the Goethe Kingdom doesn't have much money right now, if you like anything, you can take it directly. As for the rest, I can decide what you want..."

"It's okay, we don't need those things - after all, we are not mercenaries."

Poro shook his head and turned away. "As for the reward, keep it for now. Just pretend we haven't decided yet."

This flying ship was indeed well built, and it didn't even shake much when it was suspended in the air.

Poro walked down the stairs towards the top deck.

In the corridor, you can see many Gothic soldiers patrolling and cleaning, and there are still bloodstains in many corners.

On the upper left, there is a small platform.

The sea of ​​clouds in the distance undulated and flowed around the spaceship like waves in a fairyland, and at the railing, Lake stood quietly on the edge, her golden hair like flowing silk threads, dancing freely with the wind.

"Hey, Poro, there you are."

When Lake heard the voice, she turned around, her pink lips slightly raised. The sunlight sprinkled on her fair face, outlining a soft contour and a faint golden halo.

"Well, the war is over, and we can rest for a while. How does it feel to be at such a high altitude?"

The Poro smiled and walked to the girl's side. He put his front feet on the railing and looked down.

The Zhengtian flying ship was not flying at a very high altitude. At this position, Poro's vision was still enough to see the battlefield below.

Those dense black dots represent the soldiers of the Kingdom of Weser.

"This height is different from when we were in the Giant's Garden."

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then pointed downwards and continued, "When we were in the Giant's Garden, the height and the clouds obscured my view, so I couldn't see anything on the ground.

But this time, even though it was higher, I could see more things... including this area, the previous battlefield."

Lake said, turning to look at Poro, "Puro, the Goethe Kingdom has won the war, and King Weiser, who only knew how to conquer, is dead. Does that mean that the war here has finally stopped?"

“Many of humanity’s greatest conflicts have ended after war.”

Poro also responded, his eyes looking into the distance, a red light flashed in the depths of his eyes, but the power of the circular return still couldn't let him see everything clearly. The scenery in the distance was obscured by milky white clouds.

"But now, even though I'm at this high position, I still don't know where the final battle will be."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Poro's eyes. After Lake's words, he thought of many things.

From the Kingdom of Bru, through Sri Lanka to Goethe, and in the rumors, the wars that he had not yet witnessed, he understood that in this twisted era, the flames of war would never cease even after this.

"Polo, are you referring to the Kingdom of Sri and... the Kingdom of Bru?"

“Yes, wars are always fought for something. Human wars will stop after achieving certain goals, but I don’t know what the real purpose of the Sri Kingdom and Bluebeard is.
And King Weiser, just war? Killing?"

Poro shook his head, "Just like the Sri Lankan Kingdom's claim of 'fighting the enemy on behalf of God', which is an inevitably false excuse, and Bluebeard's claim to his own soldiers of 'purging the rebels'.

Did they really wage war for something greater than what they claimed?
I’m afraid only they themselves know.”

"You mean to say that the king of the Sri Kingdom did not wage war for what they claim—for God's justice?"

"I'm not sure, but now, at least there is a king who is fighting for justice."

"The Happy Prince?"

"correct."

The Poro smiled, and from his hand emerged a page of a book, which was shining with golden light.

[Circular Return: The Happy Prince: Sacrifice of Love]

[Complete the unsealing ceremony and gain fairy tale power! ]

[Fairy Tale Power: With strong faith, you can sacrifice or give up any item or ability you possess in exchange for a short period of super-limited power!]

[Unsealing Ceremony: The Shining Prince uses self-sacrifice to dispel suffering. Such beauty should not disappear. Help the Happy Prince and dispel the villains who erode hope!]

[Description: When he finally stood above the city, possessing the power to look down on the world, he could no longer be happy] [He discovered that his body, made of pure gold, was so powerless at this moment - unable to fill any hungry stomach, unable to warm even a homeless child with no clothes to wear]

"Whether it's from this page or from what he did, he was indeed a good leader."

“Sacrificing oneself so that others can live better—that is truly what a saint does.”

As Poro spoke, he looked at another flying ship parked in the air next to him. On the ship, the flag of the Kingdom of Weser was being replaced by a new flag by two Goethe soldiers.

The pattern on the flag of the Kingdom of Goethe is a tearful eye on a golden tower.

“And King Weiser, he had the power to build such flying warships, such a huge army and soldiers, but he only thought about conquest.

War itself should never be the goal.

This flying ship, born for war, reminds me of a fairy tale called The Evil Prince.

//Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales: The Evil Prince
Poro loosened his hand, and a second golden page appeared, on which was a picture of a huge crashed spaceship with flames and black smoke.

[Return of the Ring: The Evil Prince: Tiny Attack]

[Fairy Tale Power: Even the most unimaginably powerful opponent will suffer immense pain when you hit their weak spot.]

[The unsealing ceremony has been completed, and the fairy tale power has been obtained! ]

[Unsealing Ceremony: Defeat the cruel dictator's fantasy and put an end to his ambition for conquest!]

[Description: He covered his head and screamed miserably. His savage nature and murderous desire were blurred by the unbearable stinging pain. He never imagined until his death that he, who always dominated everything, conquered everything, and abused everything, would die from the bite of a mosquito or fly.]

"You're lucky! You guessed it right again?"

Poro looked at the description on this page. The content of the fairy power seemed a bit broad, and its effect made Poro a little difficult to understand, or in other words... what does a powerful opponent refer to?
He tried to imagine the flying ship below, the Goethe soldiers in the distance, or Lake as his opponents in his mind, but he was unable to trigger the effect of this circular return.

"Never mind, there will always be some use for it."

Poro put away the pages of the book, and following the orders of the Goethe soldiers in the spaceship, the spaceship began to fly slowly in the direction from which it came.

The kingdom of Weser fell, in the tyrannical conquest of their king.

Goethe's army, as well as the incorporated army of the Kingdom of Weser, passed through one city after another. Some of these cities were originally owned by the Kingdom of Weser, but most of them were occupied during the war.

In many cities, people heard that the Goethe Kingdom had won and that this place would become the territory of the Goethe Kingdom.

Some citizens and workers showed joyful expressions.

During the reign of King Wether, they shed blood and sweat, but did not get much of what they deserved. They only felt the pain of separation again and again in the war.

But more people still looked terrified when they saw the soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords.

Not everyone believes in the Happy Prince as much as Goethe does.

In their view, most kings do not care about the feelings of their subjects - the wars they launch will only make people more miserable in the end.

"Under the tyranny of a tyrant, these people are truly pitiful..."

Lake looked to the side, at a house that looked half-collapsed.

Judging from the traces of the ruins of the house, the cause of its collapse was an explosion from a high altitude, and the origin of such an explosion is already obvious.

The tip of an iceberg destroyed on King Weiser's path of conquest.

And in the ruined house, a ragged woman, holding an equally dirty child, was shivering and hiding in the shadows, avoiding the flying ships in the sky.

"But fortunately, the Happy Prince won."

Poro smiled and said, "With his ability, he will change everything. In a world like today, a saintly leader is truly rare."

Lake held her Star-Killing Sword and looked at the other side. The golden Happy Prince was walking out of the team, bending down and extending his hand to the woman hiding under the house.

The Happy Prince moved his lips slightly, but I couldn't tell what he was saying.

The fear on the woman's face gradually disappeared. She hesitated for a moment, stretched out her bony hand, held the Happy Prince's, walked out of the shadow again, and stood in the light.

Lake retracted her gaze, looked at Poro and said:
“The warriors of the Goethe Kingdom also respected me very much, but that respect was different from the respect they showed me for the Happy Prince. I used to think that I had helped many people by killing those evil men.

Now, I understand that most of the time—

Only people like the Happy Prince can help more people.

I can kill King Weiser, but I don’t have the ability to help the millions of people who have suffered so much because of the war to live a happy life again…”

"Yes, most of the prosperity of mankind is created by people like the Happy Prince, who are far duller and more ordinary than him. Compared with destruction, creation is always silent."

After hearing what Lake said, Poro smiled and continued:

"But don't lose heart, Lake. What we can do is equally important, just like ending a tyrannical regime. In the dark night of chaos, we also need a sword to restore order."

While Lake and Poro were talking, a messenger from the Goethe Kingdom anxiously pushed through the crowd and rushed towards the Happy Prince.

He half-knelt on the ground, reporting something quickly.

Afterwards, the Happy Prince's expression became somewhat serious. After a brief thought, he walked towards Lake and Poro:
"You two, I'm so sorry, but... could you do me one more favor?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Lake and Poro looked at each other.

"Help me stop a war that should never have happened."

The Happy Prince said, "In the territory of the Kingdom of Weser, a resistance army composed of laborers, slaves, and citizens of several countries invaded by the Kingdom of Weser seems to have mistaken us for conquerors like the Kingdom of Weser..."

Following the Goethe soldiers, Lake and Poro also arrived at the front line.

Not far away, at the foot of a city, everyone was fully armed. Many riders and soldiers were on high alert with their swords drawn, standing opposite the Gothic soldiers here.

In the center of the team stood a girl in a battle skirt. She was riding on a heavily armored bear, holding a long sword and making a provocative gesture towards this side.

"Uh, didn't you have a proper talk with them about this misunderstanding? And... who is that? It looks like that girl is their leader?"

Poro asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That girl should be the last princess of the Bell Kingdom. She is called the Bear Princess. She is very powerful.

When the Kingdom of Weser attacked our Goethe, this bear princess united many people, commanded a poorly equipped army, and defeated the heavily armed defenders left by the Kingdom of Weser.

The Happy Prince answered without hesitation that he had roughly understood the details of the opposing army. His words revealed his admiration, but then he changed the subject and became a little helpless.

“But although this princess is a capable leader of troops, her personality is somewhat…stubborn.

She has detained over a hundred Weser people I sent who had already surrendered, and she also believes that I am as ambitious as King Weser. She also detained the envoys I sent."

"So, what you mean is..."

"I don't want to go to war with her. I heard that the bear princess prefers to talk to powerful warriors, and my army... doesn't have any soldiers with particularly outstanding martial arts skills."

The Happy Prince looked at Lake and Poro seriously and said, "Can I ask you to be my messengers and help me persuade the bear princess?"
