Chapter 85 The Truth of Many Years

At this moment, Spitz and the dwarves came to the basement together.

"You wretched elves, you've come to steal the fruits of our labor again! This is outrageous!" the easily angered man roared angrily.

Sipoz looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the little elf he had asked earlier.

The elves' faces were no longer as innocent as before; instead, they had become fierce and wicked, like demons with goat horns and snake tails.

Their laughter was full of sarcasm and mockery, and one of the pretty little elves even pointed at the easily angered big nose and laughed.

"Look! It's those poor, ugly dwarfs! Everyone, fly away quickly! We mustn't let their filthy claws touch us!"

Schertz instantly understood both the positive and negative aspects.

Just then, a little elf noticed Sipez standing at the back of the dwarf group. She spoke to her in a tone full of concern and sympathy.

"Ah, it's Your Highness. Please come over here quickly and get away from these annoying fellows."

The elf deliberately spoke in a high-pitched voice, trying to lure Spartz towards them.

Schubert frowned, feeling a chill run down his spine. Goosebumps immediately rose all over his body, and he couldn't help but say, "Disgusting!"

The little elf was deeply shocked. It couldn't believe that such a beautiful face could utter such vulgar words, and even more unbelievable was that it would despise itself.

Its beautiful face was contorted in anger, its eyes flashing with rage and despair.

How could you say that? I am the most beautiful being in the world!

The elf shouted angrily, "You ungrateful prince, you must be in league with the dwarves and witches to deliberately harm us! Go and suffer with them!"

After saying that, a group of little elves flapped their tiny wings, preparing to take flight and quickly leave this place.

Just then, Sleepyhead swiftly grabbed his sharp pickaxe and blocked their path with astonishing speed and accuracy.

Pistachio shouted excitedly, "Well done, Sleepyhead!"

The sleepyhead proudly gave a thumbs-up, indicating that he had done a good job.

He was easily angered and unwilling to back down. He stretched out his strong, powerful hand and grabbed the legs of a little elf, holding them tightly in his palm so that the little elves could not escape.

The captured elf screamed in panic, "Let me go, you wretched elf dwarf!"

He was easily angered and showed no mercy. He used powerful magic to conjure countless soft branches and leaves out of thin air, which wrapped tightly around the elves' bodies like ropes, rendering them unable to move.

The Foolish Egg was in charge of taking each of the iron cages and applying a layer of mysterious magic to them, ensuring that the cages could effectively trap the elves and give them no chance to escape.

Finally, Clever Baby began to carefully count the little elves, and then carefully put them one by one into the cage to avoid missing or making a mistake.

The shy ghost, masked, brandished a pointed pickaxe and pounded on a group of panicked elves.

With each tap, he would say apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, please forgive me."

Meanwhile, the sneezing monster kept sneezing, while Pistachio and Sleepy stood at the front, blocking the little elves' path and leaving them nowhere to escape.

……

After some effort, Clever Baby finished counting and said, "Okay, this is the last one, making a total of twenty-one."

Then the dwarves put the elves into seven cages, one cage for each dwarf.

Pistachio excitedly said to Spitz, "Alright, Your Highness, we're going to hand the elves over to the witch now. She has powerful magic! Would you like to come with us?"

Schertz nodded in agreement, "Okay."

The dwarves used their magic to leap lightly into the air.

The shy one lagged behind and asked Spitz with concern, "Do you need my help, Your Highness?"

Schuberts replied, "No need."

He skillfully stepped on the pebbles stuck to the wall, walking lightly as if dancing, and soon reached the ground.

The shy boy followed behind him with admiration, his eyes sparkling like stars: "You're so amazing, Your Highness."

Spoelstra maintained a certain distance, taking off his dust-proof robe as he walked, and said in a light tone, "Thank you for the compliment."

They continued on foot toward the heart of the Enchanted Forest—where the witch's house was located.

"Why don't you use magic?" Spitz asked curiously.

She glared at him angrily and said, "You pathetic prince, do you think our magic is inexhaustible?!"

Pistachio patiently explained, "Your Highness, in fact, consuming magic power requires a lot of our physical strength, which cannot be replenished by eating alone."

"Only the witch who lives in the magic forest has magical potions that can help us quickly restore our magic, but only if we help her complete some tasks."

The sneezing monster chimed in, "The witch is very kind; she always goes to great lengths to heal those corrupted elves."

Spoelstra asked in confusion, "A corrupted little elf?"

The sneezing monster nodded heavily and sighed helplessly, "Yes, these little elves have all been corrupted by dark magic and turned into bad guys. They weren't like this before; they used to be such gentle and beautiful creatures, but now they've become so irritable and rude."

As they were talking, a little elf suddenly shouted angrily at the sneezing monster, "Hey! You big-nosed dwarves, don't you dare talk bad about us! We are elves, symbols of beauty!"

However, before the little elf could finish speaking, the sleepy bug next to it flicked its forehead with its finger and it instantly fainted.

At this moment, Shy noticed that Spitz was clenching his fists tightly, as if he was hiding something in his hands.

She asked softly, "Your Highness, what is in your palm?"

Upon hearing this question, Sporz clenched his fists tighter, while a barely perceptible sense of vigilance and threat flashed in his eyes.

But outwardly, he maintained a gentle tone and replied, "This is my lover's gem."

The shy guy asked in surprise, "You already have a lover?"

With a warm smile, Spitz answered firmly, "Yes, once I have mastered powerful magic and successfully resolved all the troubles, I will be able to live happily ever after with my beloved."

Soon, they arrived at the witch's dwelling. The hut was surrounded by lush trees and entwined vines, making it exceptionally secluded.

The walls of the cabin were made of rough stone, and it was surrounded by pumpkins and all sorts of magical plants.

At the entrance of the cabin, several snow-white unicorns were leisurely grazing.

You can feel the powerful magic contained within those spiraling horns.

Pistachio walked to the front door, knocked, and shouted, "Witch, open the door! It's us! Dwarfs and elves, we've captured them!"

"I'm coming."

Contrary to expectations, it was a gentle young female voice.

"Hi, my little dwarfs, I'm so glad you could come."

Her image is not that of an ugly, terrifying witch living deep in the forest, but more like a fairy godmother.

Witch: "Oh, look, who is this beautiful person?"

She looked up at the conspicuous Spoelstra and asked curiously.

Pistachio: "This is Sipoz, the prince of the Kingdom of Sotoa."

The witch exclaimed, "What? The Kingdom of Sotoa? Then you must be my sister's child! Good heavens, I'm your Aunt Anna!"

At this moment, a truth from several years ago is being revealed.

The witch's sister, the former queen, was once a beautiful and kind woman.

She met the young king in the enchanted forest, and the two fell in love at first sight.

However, because witches have always been seen as unfriendly figures by humans, the people of the Kingdom of Sotoa did not accept the witch as their queen.

Nevertheless, rumors circulated that the Magic Forest would become the territory of the Kingdom of Sotoa if the king married the witch.

This news greatly moved the people, who eventually relented and offered their blessings.

After the former queen became queen, the Magic Forest welcomed a large number of human residents.

When the late queen left, a human child abandoned in the Enchanted Forest, Eric, also departed with her.

Eric is a child abandoned by his parents in the Enchanted Forest. He lives a lonely life, but under the care of the former queen, he feels warmth and love.

As time went by, the former queen gradually won the love and respect of her people.

With her wisdom, kindness, and courage, she became the pride of the Kingdom of Sotoa.

Her image of loving the people is deeply ingrained in people's hearts. As time goes by, people gradually forget her original identity and only remember her as that great queen.

As time went by, Eric grew into adulthood, becoming increasingly robust and powerful.

Finally, one day, at the young age of twenty, he successfully became the queen's personal knight.

At that time, the prince had been born, and the whole country was immersed in joy.

However, this period of good fortune did not last long. Due to her long absence from the magical world and her reproduction with humans, the late queen's magical power continued to deplete, and her health deteriorated.

The only way to restore her strength and magic was to return to the Enchanted Forest, but this decision brought her endless pain, as she had to leave her child.

On the way the former queen traveled to and from the Enchanted Forest, a terrible disaster struck.

Eric witnessed a sharp sword mercilessly piercing the Queen's body, and he watched helplessly as his childhood friend, the one he had sworn to protect with his life, fell into a pool of blood.

At that moment, blood stained the earth red, and roars echoed through the sky, as if all the sorrow and anger had been condensed into that moment of swirling snow.

Ultimately, the queen's body was taken away by the people of the Enchanted Forest, and Eric pointed out that the murderer was human.

Since then, the Enchanted Forest has closed its gates to humanity, declaring that the land has been shrouded in dark magic.

Humans are forbidden from entering this mysterious forest.

Anna slowly finished telling the story.

After a long silence, Spitz finally spoke: "So my mother didn't die of illness, but was murdered?"

Anna said angrily, "Someone must have been dissatisfied with my sister's status, so they killed her when she was at her weakest!"

Anna sighed and said softly, "Come on, child. I'll show you something."

After saying that, she led Spartz to her back garden.

In the back garden, a magnificent sea of ​​flowers came into view, with blooming emerald green stamens emitting a faint fragrance.

In the middle of this flower garden, there is a tombstone with the words "Anbei" engraved on it.

Spartz stood there, staring at the tombstone, and murmured to himself, "It's my mother's name..."

He stared blankly at this person he had only heard about from others, his biological mother, and for a moment he didn't know how to face her.

A complex emotion welled up inside me, a mixture of sadness, anger, and confusion.

Anna: "My dear prince, as long as you are here, we will find a way. You have the purest wizard blood in your veins."

Spitz: "Aunt Anna, Mother left behind a magic mirror."

Anna: "I know about that cursed magic mirror." She pulled Spitz closer, gently stroked his face, and whispered, "My child, the Magic Forest has been quite turbulent lately. Dark magic does exist there, and we need to deal with these evil things as soon as possible."

Spartz: "So my father..."

Anna: "Your father passed through the Enchanted Forest, but that was strictly forbidden. All we know is that he was attacked by dark magic. We don't know what happened after that, but we heard that he returned safely to the Kingdom of Sotoa, didn't he?"

Spitz: "So, is there any way to stop black magic?"

Anna: "Listen to me, my child. All you need to do now is unleash your potential, learn to listen to the voice of nature, and feel the magic flowing within you. Don't worry, my child, it will take some time. And don't be afraid, you are in a place where magic is most abundant, and those dark spells cannot harm you."

Spitz: "Hurry, Aunt Anna, my love is still waiting for me there."
