A World of Mixed Fairy Tales?!

A World of Mixed Fairy Tales?!

The hooded boy flipped through the various documents on the table.

His fingertips moved across the World Map, connecting the contents of the documents to the countries depicted.

In this era of backward productivity, the map was terribly crude; the imagery was a chaotic mess, the scale was completely off, and there were vast areas of pure imagination! Yet, when cross-referenced with enough documents and records, it was not entirely unreadable...

When he first began flipping through the documents at hand, Rhine's expression was calm, a faint smile playing on his lips.

However.

As he read on.

The young mage's smile gradually stiffened, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

By the end, the hand Rhine used to hold the book was trembling uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Why is it like this?"

Rhine had originally assumed he had transmigrated into the story of "Sleeping Beauty."

Beyond the kingdom, it shouldn't be anything too special—just an ordinary Western fantasy world.

But after understanding the general layout of the continent, he realized it was nothing of the sort! The known extent of this fantasy world was a single continent.

The Western Countries were numerous, with many small kingdoms scattered like stars.

The kingdom where Rhine resided, that of Sleeping Beauty, was merely one of hundreds of ordinary kingdoms.

The regions to the east possessed a culture similar to the Arab cultural sphere of Earth.

As for the Far East, the records in the court documents were extremely vague.

They only vaguely mentioned that in the distant east, there was a prosperous and flourishing empire with a mysterious and magnificent culture.

Why did that sound so familiar... Rhine's mouth twitched slightly.

What truly shocked Rhine, however, were the details of a world where many folk legends and historical records were mixed together: "According to research, giant castles are built upon certain thick white clouds..."

"In the vast ocean, there is the kingdom of the Mermaid..."

"An adventurer who traveled the world claimed that he once fell into a tree hole and accidentally stepped into a bizarre and grotesque kingdom..."

"A traveler from the deserts of the Middle East recounted the extraordinary things of their land—he mentioned flying carpets, giant roc birds, and massive genies trapped in vessels who promised to grant wishes to mortals..."

What kind of stitched-together world have I transmigrated into!

Rhine could no longer help but complain bitterly in his heart.

One familiar story title after another surged from his mind.

"I wonder what era this is."

"Are those stories I knew so well in my past life already history? Or, like the story of Sleeping Beauty, have they yet to begin?"

"The earlier the era, the more room I have to maneuver!"

"Once I deal with the problems of the Little Princess Aurora and become a more powerful mage, I must go and see what lies beyond the kingdom!"

Rhine made up his mind.

Immediately after, he picked up the Spellbook from the table.

"Book of Transformation and Summoning"

Rhine couldn't wait to flip through the yellowed pages.

What met his eyes were obscure and strange characters and symbols.

According to the Old King, this collection had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Legend had it that only those who understood magic could decipher the words in the book! Because they could not find a true mage to become the book's master, such a spellbook, which recorded what could be called priceless treasures, could only remain long abandoned, forever sealed in the depths of the Library.

Upon discovering that the Witches in the kingdom seemed interested in this book, the Old King proposed to the 12 Witches that they "exchange the spellbook for any one of them serving as a court advisor for a few years," but he was refused.

Clearly, this book held a certain attraction for the omnipotent Witches.

Yet, it was not enough to make them bow their noble heads to serve royal power.

It was precisely this cruel experience of being ruthlessly rejected that made the Old King so cautious when inviting Rhine to become a court advisor, offering the most generous conditions right from the start! The second he opened the book, Rhine immediately confirmed that the legend was absolutely true.

As a true mage, he automatically understood every grotesque and twisted character in the book! After quickly flipping through and browsing, Rhine excitedly discovered that the content recorded in this book was exactly what he wanted! Rhine's magic was obtained automatically after his transmigration; without a Mentor, his knowledge of occult and supernatural aspects was quite lacking.

This book recorded a vast amount of basic knowledge about magic, which perfectly compensated for his shortcomings!

Not only that, but the book also recorded a variety of practical spells.

"Those 12 Witches must be more powerful than I am now, yet they were unwilling to bow down to become the kingdom's advisors, which is why they failed to take this book!"

Reading the spellbook in his hands with insatiable thirst, a brighter smile bloomed on the silver-haired boy's lips.
