"Possibly."

"So what do we do?" Anna asked.

The Great Elder was very calm.

"Yasha," he asked, "are you sure you have to pay the price and live on land?" ”

Yasha: "At what cost?" ”

"Equal price." The Third Elder said, "Whatever you want, you will lose what you have equally. ”

"Drink this potion and you'll get what you want."

"But what we have to lose, we don't know."

The Great Elder added calmly with a look in his eyes, "If you go to the land, don't come to the deep sea again." ”

"......," Yasha bowed, "Okay." ”

"Then you take this bottle of potion and go to land."

"...... now?" Yasha looked up.

"Why is there such a hurry?" Anna asked.

"We've got to limit the wizards." The second elder said.

"Restrictions?"

"The wizard's purpose is clearly Yasha. Maybe he wants Yasha, and we need to get Yasha out of their control. ”

"The best thing to do is to use magic against magic." The four elders said with a smile.

"Use the witch's magic to sabotage the wizard's plans?" Anna doesn't seem to understand.

"That's what it means."

"So Yasha, if you decide, do it as soon as possible."

"Okay."

……

At this time, the wizard once again stayed in the prince's mansion.

The prince brought the wizard into the palace and eagerly began to buy strange items as the wizard had instructed.

Such an act has attracted the attention of many people in Wangcheng.

The prince was anxious to regain the attention of the merfolk, and he did not care about the affairs of the state, and every day he watched his subordinates buy what the wizard needed.

"Why haven't you found it yet?!"

The prince walked agitatedly from side to side.

"Go find me again!"

His temper was getting worse and worse.

The subordinate resignedly responded and hurriedly ran out.

"Your Royal Highness. The king summons you. ”

The prince's recent actions reached the king's ears, and the prince's negligence in state affairs also made the king resentful.

He summoned the prince and scolded him severely.

The prince came out of the palace with a gloomy expression.

was scolded by the king in front of the palace people, which made the prince lose face.

He began to hate the king in his heart.

It doesn't matter, when I get the mermaid, I won't need a king.

I am the king recognized by the god of the sea.

Thinking so, the prince hurried back home.

"Wizard! Haven't made a potion yet? The prince pushed the door open.

"Why is it so slow!"

Wizard: "......" was disgusted by the prince every time, which made the wizard's expression darken.

"It's almost ready." He endured.

After the mermaid is caught, who knows if this prince is still a prince or not?

When the time comes, hehe......

He will make the prince repent of his present deeds!

"Then hurry up." The prince urged impatiently.

"Give me three more days and I'll be able to finish the potion." The wizard said.

Three days......

The prince received an exact answer and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Three days later.

The prince had borrowed a potion from a sorcerer.

He looked suspiciously.

"This is the potion that will allow me to save the mermaid?"

"I'm trying to save the mermaid, what's the use of you giving me the potion?"

The wizard smiled hoarsely, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, if you drink this potion, you will be able to grant your wishes." ”

"Whatever the desire."

"Really?" The prince looked at the bottle of potion in his hand, which was indistinguishable from anything other than its strange color.

"Of course, that's the true power of wizards." There was no lack of arrogance in the wizard's tone.

"Prince, use it."

The prince opens the potion.

He grunted.

The moment he swallowed what he was about to say, he felt that the desire for mermaids in his heart had reached an unprecedented intensity.

In the next moment, he felt something.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." The wizard said.

……

On this day, something big happened in the kingdom.

The prince was bewitched by the sorcerer and poisoned to the point of stupidity.

The king was alarmed and sent for the arrest of the sorcerer.

Divide the day by burning to death.

The prince was in league with the sorcerers, and he had lost his mind, so the king had to order the prince to be kept in the palace and his inheritance revoked.

On the day of the execution, the shaman was tied to a pillar.

The citizens standing below looked at the embarrassed wizard and whispered.

"This is the wizard."

"Is it that he misled His Royal Highness the Prince? His Royal Highness the Prince, who was harmed, went crazy. ”

"Wizards are really terrible, you must catch one and execute the other."

"Yes, yes, who knows how many people the wizard has bewitched, and the creature of the wizard should not exist!"

"That's right! Burn him! ”

"Burn him! Burn him! ”

The shouts of the people rang out to the sky.

The wizard hung his head, a look of confusion in his eyes.

He muttered, "It shouldn't be...... Why didn't it work......"

"...... shouldn't be"

Why didn't you get the mermaid?

"Set fire."

The wizard came back to his senses and saw the man with the torch approaching, and his sanity was slightly clearer.

He used his powers to get out of here, but was surprised to find that his magic didn't work.

The man with the torch was getting closer, and he felt the threat of death.

"Let's go! Why not go! The wizard's hoarse voice was dry and hysterical.

"Let's go! Let's go! ”

No one knew what he was talking about, and no one cared.

Torches fall on the pyre.

Flames rose into the sky.

Everything calmed down.

The last scene in the wizard's eyes was the burning flame, and the hazy black shadow outside the flame.
