The Wizard of Fairy Tale World-Chapter 119: The Depths of Three Thousand Shallow Waters
Chapter 119: The Depths of Three Thousand Shallow Waters
To be honest, when the Queen sought her out, the Eastern Witch was completely stunned.
At that moment, the Eastern Witch had been discussing with her loyal servant how to destroy the Kingdom of White.
This short servant was a mixed-blood, half Munchkin from the Kingdom of Oz and half foreigner. He had served the Eastern Witch as a household servant for many years, helping her with her wicked deeds.
"That Queen, how dare she be so arrogant!"
Just thinking about the words the soldiers relayed to her made the Eastern Witch angry.
"She actually said that we witches had taken too much advantage of her in the past, and then claimed to be magnanimous and forgive everything! But she told me not to contact her again, and to leave as far away as possible!"
"How dare she!"
"Even the Emperor of the mighty Kingdom of Endog would treat me with courtesy and make me a guest of honor once he knew of my abilities!"
The Eastern Witch’s anger grew as she spoke, her hair standing on end, her eyes bulging out.
"That Queen is too audacious to speak to me like that!" The short servant echoed. "Master, you must not let her off lightly."
"My loyal servant," the Eastern Witch asked, "how should I destroy the Kingdom of White in a way that will hurt the Queen the most?"
"Why not turn everyone in the country into fish? Let them suffocate to death!" the servant suggested.
The Eastern Witch shook her head.
"My transformation magic is something I learned from that Middle Eastern witch. She can cover the whole kingdom in an instant, but I’m not capable of such a thing yet."
"Then let’s use a weather-controlling magic ritual and summon a hurricane to destroy their royal city!" the servant suggested again.
"That’s a good idea, but it seems a bit too ordinary," the Eastern Witch shook her head again.
"This is so troublesome. How about I just storm into the royal palace of the Kingdom of White, capture the Queen, torture her to death, and worry about the kingdom’s destruction later?" řά𐌽𝘖𝐁Εṥ
Just then, ripples like water spread across the surface of the mirror on the wall. In the dim light, it seemed like an image was about to appear.
This meant that a member of the Witches' Association was trying to contact her!
"Who is it?"
The Eastern Witch clapped her hands, connecting to the magical communication.
The Queen's face appeared on the surface of the mirror.
"Slave Master, hurry up and use your magic shoes to teleport to my side. Take me to another place."
"It’s just a few steps for you, right? Do it quickly!"
Having grown accustomed to being flattered by the Magic Mirror and the King, the Queen still spoke with an arrogant, commanding tone, even now.
The Eastern Witch was stunned.
I was just thinking about how to kill you, and you dare to contact me first!
And you’re using me as a transportation tool!
Seeing that the Eastern Witch remained silent, the Queen assumed she hadn’t been given a reward and added,
"After this is over, I’ll allow you to ask the Magic Mirror one question as a reward. How about that? Will that satisfy you?"
Satisfy me, my *ss!
The Eastern Witch was so angry that steam seemed to rise from her head.
She spoke sarcastically,
"Queen, I’ve just taken a few steps and in return, I’ve earned the precious opportunity to ask the Magic Mirror a question. Am I taking advantage of you?
"After all, I, along with the others in the Witches’ Association, have taken so much advantage of you, haven’t we?"
The Queen, seeing the Eastern Witch being so polite, naturally accepted the kindness,
"That’s true. Since you want to send me off for free, even better. Hurry up, I’m in a hurry!"
With that, the Queen ended the communication, her beautiful but harsh face disappearing from the mirror.
Used to being flattered, the Queen rarely participated in the daily interactions of the Witches’ Association and assumed others treated her with utmost respect, so she didn’t even notice the sarcasm.
The Eastern Witch was fuming, jumping out of her chair.
"Fine, I’ll send you off for free!"
...
In the forest of the Kingdom of White.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept across the clearing, lifting fallen leaves and grass into the air, spinning them around.
When the wind died down, the Eastern Witch’s figure appeared before the Queen.
"Hahaha, you really came."
The Queen walked up with a smile.
"Quickly, I need to go to the royal city. I’m too slow on my own. Can you give me a ride?"
The Eastern Witch sneered, speaking sarcastically,
"My dear Queen, you must think that the Witches’ Association has taken advantage of you for too long, right?
"We only used a few bottles of cheap, beauty potions that many ordinary witches can make, and from you and the Magic Mirror, we exchanged for the priceless opportunity to ask a question."
The Queen agreed with the Eastern Witch’s words, nodding.
"Yes, that’s how it is."
She always felt that the few witches in the association had taken great advantage of her!
But in her mind, she was puzzled,
"Why is the Slave Master being so polite today? Not only offering to send me off for free, but also apologizing for this?"
At this thought, the Queen couldn't help but feel a little moved.
She hadn’t even blamed the other party for taking advantage of her, yet here the Eastern Witch was, so sincere, even apologizing first!
"So, from now on, we won’t take advantage of you again," the Eastern Witch’s voice grew increasingly cold. "We won’t need you to ask the Magic Mirror questions anymore."
"That’s great!" The Queen said, her face brightening with joy.
"Because today, I will kill you!" The Eastern Witch’s expression suddenly changed.
She raised her magic wand, and purple-black magic gathered around it.
"I won’t let you die easily. I’ll rip your soul out and imprison you forever!"
The Queen was horrified.
With a thud, she fell to the ground in fear.
What is wrong with this witch?
How did she change so suddenly, without any warning at all?!
"Wait, stop!"
The Queen, terrified, scooted backward across the grass.
She knew very well that the four core members of the Witches’ Association were far stronger than she could ever hope to be!
"If I die, you and the other witches won’t be able to ask the Magic Mirror anything ever again…" the Queen said, trembling.
"Hmph! After I kill you, I’ll find a way to make the Magic Mirror obey me!"
The Eastern Witch ignored the Queen's pleas, pointing her wand at her, ready to unleash a terrifying burst of magic to extract her soul.
"No, no!"
The Queen shut her eyes, as if she could already see her inevitable death approaching.
"Slave Master, I was wrong about you, wrong about your Witches’ Association!"
"Why did I ever accept the invitation to join such a mysterious and dark organization?"
"With my abilities, without the Magic Mirror, I never had the right to join them."

"I should have just stayed an ordinary Queen, never got involved with these eccentric, powerful beings… Today’s outcome would have definitely been different!"
Countless thoughts flooded the Queen’s mind, endless regret washing over her heart.
In this critical moment,
A hawk suddenly swooped down from the sky, diving straight for the Eastern Witch’s magic wand.
The Eastern Witch furrowed her brow and dispersed the magic aimed at the Queen, flicking her hand lightly. The hawk was immediately set on fire, turning to ash in an instant.
"Who?"
The Eastern Witch raised her head.
The sky grew dark.
No, it wasn’t the sky darkening.
It was as if the sky was covered by a vast swarm of birds, blocking out the sunlight. Thousands of shadows were cast, making the clearing in the forest seem like it was already night.
The deafening sound of thousands of wings flapping, like a storm made of birds, filled the air.
"A magic that commands such a large number of birds? And of a very high level?"
"Is there a skilled mage nearby?"
The Eastern Witch’s gaze became more serious.
This magic reminded her of another evil witch from the Kingdom of Oz, the Western Witch, who also had a spell to control crows. But now, the Eastern Witch had far surpassed this colleague in magical prowess.
Thousands of birds circled above the clearing, ready to swoop down like arrows and attack the Eastern Witch.
—This was a reinforced summoning magic learned by Rhine from the Book of Transformation and Summoning. After helping Cinderella gain the "magical power to control birds," the magic’s power had increased exponentially, allowing Rhine to even "give birds the ability to speak."
"Quite impressive," the Eastern Witch sneered, her ugly grin showing. Then, she coldly snorted,
"But compared to the core members of the Witches' Association, you're still far, far behind!"
Her eyes narrowed, and she swung both her empty left hand and wand-holding right hand together.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With each burst of black mist, birds in the air were transformed into frogs, toads, rabbits, fish, sheep, and other non-flying creatures. One by one, they fell from the sky.
—This was a "Mass Transformation Curse"!
A magic the Eastern Witch had learned from the Middle Eastern witch in the Witches’ Association.
Unlike Rhine’s transformation magic, which could only be used on herself and allies and didn’t work on enemies, the Eastern Witch’s cruel magic was essentially a curse that transformed others into weaker creatures.
The sound of animals falling to the ground and splattering was deafening.
It was a bloody, brutal downpour—grisly and grotesque!
The Queen was terrified, dodging to the side to avoid being hit by the falling animals.
However, after this wave of birds was cleared, the sky cleared for a moment before more birds appeared, endlessly coming from the far distance.
"Do you think an endless tide of birds is useful?"
The Eastern Witch sneered, watching the direction from which the birds were coming, and uttered another incantation.
The birds were flying toward a large lake.
Under the effect of the Eastern Witch’s curse, the lake suddenly became dark and mysterious, as if it could suck in one’s soul.
As the lake changed, the birds, flapping their wings toward the Eastern Witch and Queen, suddenly lost their ability to fly, plummeting to the ground with a loud crash, falling into the lake.
"Waters of Inevitable Sinking."
This was a black magic that altered the properties of a body of water.
Above the dark, ominous water, anything would lose its ability to fly and fall into the water.
Even swimmers or boats could not float on the surface of the water; they would continuously sink until they drowned.
This was a magic the Eastern Witch had learned from the Sea Witch of the Sea Kingdom during a magical exchange in the Witches’ Association!
It was said that certain places on the continent had natural "Waters of Inevitable Sinking," creating impassable rivers and death seas, legends of which were passed down.
The Eastern Witch still remembered that during the demonstration of this magic by the Sea Witch, when the corresponding scene was shown to all members of the Witches’ Association, something that shocked her happened—
The founder of the Witches’ Association, that mysterious and unpredictable president, actually spoke up for the first time, personally commenting on this magic.
At that time, the president had said something about the dark, deep waters that the Eastern Witch still didn’t fully understand:
"Three thousand shallow waters deep. Goose feathers can't float, reed flowers will sink to the bottom!"
