Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 73 Road to the Palace
Snow White opened her red lips and took a light bite of the red side of the apple.

Just like in a fairy tale, her eyes closed and her body slowly fell into the crystal coffin.

But her body was not dead and her temperature was still normal.

It's like... falling asleep.

"It turns out that being as beautiful as Snow White is also a misfortune..."

Lake said blankly as she looked at Snow White lying in the crystal coffin.

"Hmm... maybe it was her kindness that made her feel guilty about the deaths of so many people. If someone with this appearance were like the witch hunter or Prince Boren... someone who had no reverence for life.

They will not feel the slightest compassion for the death of others, and may even actively instigate others to kill each other."

Poro stared at the bitten apple in his hand and said with some emotion.

"So after that...what should we do?"

Lake looked down at the dead Red Witch and the four motionless vine monsters beside the crystal coffin. "Give the other half of the apple to anyone who wants to switch bodies?"

Poro put the apple back in his arms and began to bend down to search the equipment on the Red Witch.

"No, not to mention that 99% of people want Snow White's body, let's talk about the Kingdom of Sinuo - the queen who owns the magic mirror is not dead yet!
Judging from the current situation, she will definitely not let Snow White's body go!

And...with the power of that magic mirror, I doubt Snow White's body would be hidden from the Queen even if she were to hide it at the ends of the earth!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his claws gently, and touched a thin grass stem on the ground. The grass stem was still swaying in the wind without any contact!
"So what should we do? How can we stop her?"

Lake said with some difficulty, "After all, she sent so many people from the Sinuo Kingdom just for this body... She doesn't care about their lives at all.

If she really had Snow White's body, how much would she do with her beauty?!"

"With our current strength, we are not yet strong enough to completely confront the queen."

Poro shook his head, "So... we don't just stop her from getting this body, we also... help her!"

"Ah? Help her?"

Lake looked puzzled.

The Poro slowly walked to the body of the Red Witch, opened the clothes that had been stripped off, crawled in, and then changed his body shape, gradually propping up the clothes.

The Poro's face twisted, and finally, it turned into... the appearance of the Scarlet Witch.

He picked up the cane that the Scarlet Witch had dropped, and his voice became exactly the same hoarse.

"We will take Snow White back... and perform a body-transforming ritual on the Queen, and then—kill her!"

Poro said.

"But, that ritual, and the magic of the Red Witch..."

Lake's eyes widened. "Wait, is that the [Spiral Beacon: Witch]?"

"Yes, it's the spiral beacon."

Poro nodded. In his soul, he digested the magical experience brought by the fairy power of [Spiral Beacon: Witch].

This is an extremely complex body of knowledge.

And this knowledge cannot be used directly. It requires more... practice and absorption before it can be fully used.

"So... you can do magic? Poro?"

Lake's eyes flashed with excitement, and she said excitedly, "Can you show it to me?"

"Of course, I still need to practice in the forest for a while, at least... learn the several types of magic I'll need later, and also... prepare some plans.

I've never seen the queen, but with what we have now, killing her should be very difficult!
But nothing is guaranteed to succeed, I can only choose the safest option possible.

Of course, the magic mirror may be very powerful, but the queen is not omniscient.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be alive today!”

As the Poro spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the vine monsters near Snow White's crystal coffin. The next moment, the vine monsters began to twist strangely! Then, like drunken people, they took a few steps and fell to the ground.

"Well, I think I need to at least make sure...that Snow White doesn't fall down the road and break an arm or a leg or something."

Of course, this is also the description of "partial experience" in fairy tale power.

Wouldn't it be better if... it was all experience?

But all we can do now is... work hard day and night!
……

Another day has passed and the sun is rising.

Outside the forest, in the Kingdom of Sinuo, in the royal palace, in a hidden tower.

"Mirror, mirror, please tell me what is the current situation of those dwarves and Prince Boren?"

The queen stood in front of the magic mirror. The dim light shone on her enchanting face, and the shadows flickered, making it seem dark and unclear.

"Your Majesty, they are all dead!"

Immediately afterwards, the image on the magic mirror began to twist and change rapidly, and colorful images emerged from it. These were the images of those targets that the queen was concerned about... several threatening targets in the forest.

The corpses of dwarves appear in different environments.

It shows what these dwarves looked like when they just died.

Most of the dwarfs' bodies had wounds so deep that the bones were visible. Among them, the body of the big dwarf, Danglang, who caught the queen's attention the most, was strangled to death by several vines.

The scene changed, and Prince Boren's body also appeared before his eyes.

His face was gray, with a twisted look of despair and confusion, and some special characteristics of death flashed in it.

The queen could easily see that it was the characteristic of death caused by her own wooden comb!
"Yes, what the Red Witch did this time... was quite smooth."

The anxiety in the queen's eyes gradually eased.

As she recalled Snow White's appearance, she couldn't help feeling impatient.

As a witch with a magic mirror, she knows a lot of knowledge that others need to pay a huge price to obtain. The moment she saw Snow White, she knew that she had been tricked.

Like other ordinary women, she felt extremely jealous of that appearance!

She knew that this was an extremely dangerous mental distortion, a... very dangerous curse!
In order to eliminate such influence.

She did not ask the magic mirror, but... made a decision to obtain Snow White's body!
Ordinary women can't do it. Their minds will be twisted into a state where they will be destroyed if they can't get it!
But the Mirror Witch, that is, the Queen, is different.

She knew that there was a Scarlet Witch in this world, and through the magic mirror, she also knew the Scarlet Witch's abilities, weaknesses, and lifeblood!

She designed an ingenious trap to make the Red Witch sign a contract and use it for her own benefit.

At that time, she knew that she could truly transform that perfect body into...

Take it for yourself!

"Patience, a little more patience...it won't be long!"

The queen was talking to herself in the empty palace.

Previously, the ribbon that sensed the aura of the Blue and Red Witches was disconnected for a short period of time, but it was quickly reconnected.

But since the prince and the dwarf are dead, there shouldn't be any problem.

Maybe... it's the influence of the Red Witch's method of death-by-substitution?

"Identity transfer, and... matters with the Boren Kingdom, all need to be dealt with."

The queen put the matter of the ribbon behind her and looked thoughtful.

After a while, she opened her arms, looked at the golden and luxurious dome of the palace, and laughed sharply:
"Then I will possess the most beautiful appearance in the world, the most knowledge in the world, and the wealth and manpower of an entire kingdom will be at my disposal!
By then, everyone will kneel down at my feet, prostrate themselves, and worship me—

Mirror Queen!"
