Chapter 3 Blue Parrot (2)
"This is the game Ismanor is using to play us! Well, we will have revenge no matter the cost. But we must be careful not to let him know that we have seen through his plot, and his magic is stronger than I am strong, so I must be very careful. First of all, I must leave you first, and if the false king asks, you answer that I will deal with some frontier problems. In the meantime, treat him very politely, arrange some banquets, and let He feels happy. If he has any doubts, you can even hint him that as long as you are married, I will give up the throne to your husband. Now, goodbye!" Saying that, the swan fairy beckoned, A cloud floated down and hid her.No one could have imagined that this white cloud flying so quickly from the sky was a chariot, carrying the swan nymph to the tower of Ismanor.

Ismanor's tower was deep in the forest, so the Queen thought that with the cover of the dense forest, it would be easy to descend quietly to the ground.But as every part of the tower was enchanted, the closer she got to the ground, the more powerful she felt pushing her back.At last, with all her strength, she descended to the foot of the tower.By this time she was exhausted, and she felt weak and dizzy as soon as she cast the spell.She could no longer use her own spells, and the only way to defeat Ismanor was to rely on the gems in Guas' ring.But how would she get the ring?The magic book said that Ismano regarded it as the most precious treasure and guarded it day and night, but she had to get it no matter what; at the same time, she had to go to see the imprisoned king first.So she took out a small slip of paper and wrote:
"The bird that brings you this letter is the Swan Fairy, transformed from Princess Hermosa's mother. Hermosa loves you as much as you love her!" After writing these words, the Swan Fairy He went on to tell how he had become the victim of a conspiracy.Then, in an instant, she turned into a swallow, and circled the tower until she found the window of the room that closed Lino's.Lino was shut so high that even the window bars were unnecessary, and four soldiers guarding him stood outside on the porch.The swan fairy flew in with ease, even jumping on his shoulder.Prince Lino, however, was so engrossed in gazing at the portrait of the princess that he did not notice her for some time as she flew in.Finally, she scratched his cheek lightly with a corner of the letter paper, and he looked around in surprise, and finally found the swallow.He suddenly realized that someone was coming to save him. He opened the letter, read the contents of the letter, and couldn't help but shed tears of joy.He asked a lot of things about Hermosa, but Yanzi couldn't answer, but kept nodding, motioning him to look down.

"Must I pretend to marry that ugly Ricket?" he asked after reading the letter, "so I can get the gem from the magician?"

The next morning, Ricket came to visit Lino as usual, and this time Lino was no longer as indifferent to Ricket as before.Seeing the change in Lino's attitude towards her, the magician's daughter couldn't contain her joy!What made her even more happy was that Lino said to her: "I had a dream and learned that Hermosa was a capricious woman. There was also a fairy in the dream, and she told me that something made me feel sick." Bound to that unfaithful princess, if I wish to break free from this bondage, and turn my affections to Ismano's daughter, I must possess for a day and a night the jewel of the ring of Guas, which is now in Your father." After hearing these words, Ricket was ecstatic.She threw her arms around King Lino's neck, and embraced him tenderly.Lino felt so disgusted that he might as well have been clubbed by a soldier.But this is also a last resort, he can only pretend to be happy as much as possible, until Rickate let go of him, saying that he must hurry up and go to his father to ask for the gem.

Hearing his daughter's request, Ismano was very surprised and immediately became suspicious.But no matter how much Ismano thought, he could not imagine that the closely guarded king would get in touch with the swan nymph.But he still didn't dare to act hastily. He concealed his worries and said to his daughter nonchalantly that his only hope was to make her happy. Since you want that gemstone so much, I'll go and get it for you.So Ismano went into the secret room and performed his magic, and soon he found that his opponent, the swan fairy, was in his palace at this time.

"I see!" Ismano sneered, "Well, since she insists on gems, I'll give her one! Give her a gem that will turn into marble if anyone touches it." Manno put a small ruby ​​into the box and went back to his daughter.

"This is the gem, it will allow you to win King Lino's love." Ismano said, "But you must not open the box, you must give him the box, otherwise the gem will be invalid." With a cry of delight Kate snatched the box from him, and ran straight for the jail, her father following her, holding the magic handkerchief so tightly in his hand that no one could see him, He was going to see how his spell worked.Sure enough, as Ismano expected, the swan fairy was standing under the tower, and she was waiting for the prince to throw the gem to her because she accidentally revealed her true form.She eagerly caught the box that King Lino had dropped, but as soon as her fingers touched the ruby, a strange stiffness went through her body, her limbs became stiff, and her mouth could barely move. Spit out a few words: "We are exposed."

"That's right, you were indeed exposed!" Ismano shouted in a terrifying voice, "And you,"

He dragged King Lino to the window, and said, "You will become a parrot until you can persuade Hermosa to smash your head flat."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a blue parrot flew out of the window and into the forest.The magician then rode to Swan Island in his winged chariot and turned all the people on the island into statues.They remained motionless in various poses, not even Rabo.With the exception of Hermosa, Ismano ordered her to sit beside him, and soon they were in the Enchanted Forest.The magician got out of the car and dragged the sad princess out of the car.

"I have turned your queen into a stone statue and your lover into a parrot," said Ismano, "and you will become a tree until you turn the world's most beloved The head of the person is smashed, but I want you to keep all the memories and emotions, and let you suffer a thousand times the pain."

Ismano is truly a powerful magician. It took him hundreds of years to invent this vicious magic.The poor princess lived like a year, and she longed for a woodcutter to end her misery with an axe.How can they escape their bad luck?Even if Lino flew past her, and there were thousands of blue parrots in the forest, how would she know which one was him?And how could Lino recognize her?Alas, and her mother, all this made her dare not even think about it!Is this the life of a woman, the princess thought endlessly.

At the same time, blue parrots are flying all over the world, making new friends no matter where they fly.Until one day, he accidentally flew into the castle of an old wizard who just married a beautiful young woman.Her name was Grenadine, and she lived a dull life.She was very happy to suddenly have a flying playmate.So he was given a golden cage to rest in, and delicious fruit to eat.The only thing that disappointed her was that the blue parrot couldn't talk like other parrots.

"If you knew how happy it would make me for you to talk, I'm sure you'd try it," she always liked to say to him, but the blue parrot didn't seem to hear her.

One morning, when she went out to pick flowers, the blue parrot found himself alone in the room.He jumped on the table, picked up a pencil, and wrote a few lines of poetry on the paper.He heard a voice just after he finished writing. He was startled, threw away the pencil, and flew out of the window.

The moment it threw away the pencil, the old wizard opened a corner of the curtain and walked in.Seeing a piece of paper on the table, he picked it up, and to his astonishment, it read:

Fair princess, to win your favor, I would like to talk to you; it is better to keep silent than to talk like a parrot.

"I have some doubts that he was bewitched by someone." The old wizard said to himself.He picked up the magic book to check, and found that the blue parrot was not a real parrot, but actually a king, who had been enchanted by a magician, and that magician was the person the old wizard hated most in the world.He couldn't wait to keep searching, hoping to find a way to break the magic.Finally, he found a way and was very happy.He hastened to find his wife, who was lying on a cushion under the tree where the blue parrot used to be.The old wizard told her that the parrot she loved was actually the king of a great country.If she would whistle to call the blue parrot back, they could go to the Enchanted Wood together. "When we get there I can help him back to his original form. Just make sure you don't panic and yell no matter what I do," he added, "otherwise everything will be messed up." The old wizard's wife jumped up for joy, and she So happy was she that she began to whistle the blue parrot's favorite tune.The blue parrot had actually heard their conversation, but he didn't want them to know.So he waited until the old wizard's wife had turned her back before flying down from the tree and landing on her shoulders.Then, they got into a golden ship.The golden boat carried them to a clearing in the forest, with three big trees standing beside it.

"I will light the magic fire with these three trees," said the old wizard to his wife. "Put the blue parrot on the branch, and he will be safe, and stand a little far away yourself. If you stand too close , the tree will smash your head when it falls."

Hearing this, the blue parrot suddenly remembered Ismano's prophecy.When he was ready, his heart pounded when he thought that one of the three trees was Hermosa.At this time, the old wizard used a shovel to loosen the soil at the roots of the three trees, so that the three trees could fall together.Seeing the three trees start to shake, the blue parrot immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the most beautiful tree in the middle.Only a "bang" was heard, and Lino and Hermosa stood face to face, holding each other's hands tightly.

The old wizard was rejoicing in his success, but the newly restored princess thought of her mother right away.So she knelt down before the old wizard, and begged him to do them one more favor, and change the Swan Fairy back to her original form.

"It will not be so easy," said the old wizard, "but I will try as best I can." So he went back to his own palace, and took a little bottle of poisoned water.As soon as it was dark he set off for Ismanor's tower.Of course, if Eastmano could look up his spellbook and find out what his enemies were doing, then he could protect himself too.But that night, he ate too much and drank too much wine, and he was already lying on the bed and sound asleep.The old wizard turned himself into a bat, flew into Ismano's room, hid behind the curtain, and poured all the poison on Ismano's face, so that Ismano was too late to say anything One sound and one dies.At the same time, the swan fairy became human again.This is because no matter which magician, no matter how strong his ability is, as long as the person dies, his magic will be invalid.

So, when the Swan Fairy returned to her capital, she found all the ministers waiting at the gate to welcome her, and among them stood Hermosa and King Lino, with happy smiles on their faces.Behind them, but at a distance, stood Rabo, whose dirty clothes had been replaced by clean ones.His greatest wish was fulfilled, for the princess had made him head of the stables.

Here we have to say goodbye to them, and we trust that after these terrible trials, they will live happily ever after.
