And the third brother Edmund is the biggest change among the four, in the ** head, he is full of complaints, cunning, greed and lies.
One day, Lucy and Edmund split up and discover a mysterious wardrobe that leads to a white wizarding world. In this world, there are talking animals, flying eagle people, and living tree people.
The world of Narnia is ruled by the cold white witch all the year round, covered with ice and snow, talking about lifeless, everything is covered in impersonal, desolate, and bitter cold ice and snow, she turns the oasis world into an ice and snow continent, regardless of the life and death of small lives, just to satisfy her ambition to rule.
The younger sister Lucy and the third brother Edmund have traveled to different corners of the Narnia world. The kind-hearted Lucy meets the half-sheep Tunus after coming to the world of Narnia, and Tunus wants to confuse the human Lucy to take her to the White Witch to deal with secretly, but is moved by Lucy's kindness, he says:"It's the only warmth I've felt in a hundred years. ”He decides to disobey the White Witch and smuggle Lucy back.
On the other side, the third brother Edmund met the White Witch directly, the White Witch saw through Edmund's human identity at a glance, concealed his true face, slowly pried Edmund's mouth open with warm actions, conjured up the Turkish happy candy that Edmund wanted to eat, and warmed his cold body with a scarf and drink, under the "care" of the White Witch, Edmund honestly explained the fact that his sister Lucy was at Tunus's house, and told the family's information in one go. In order to further seduce Edmund, the White Witch promised to make Edmund the king of Narnia on the condition that he bring his siblings to Narnia, at this time Edmund was only worried that the arrival of his brother Peter would rob him of the throne, "Will Peter also be king?".He replied. "The king also needs servants. The White Witch said. The friendliness and warmth of the White Witch are, in essence, a lie of the devil.
After confirming that Tunus is safe, Lucy meets her third brother Edmund on the way back, and she is glad to have Edmund testify to the existence of Narnia for him, but Edmund, who harbors selfish desires, denies what his sister said, saying that she is lying, until the four siblings enter the world in the closet together, and the truth is revealed.
Returning to Narnia, Lucy hopes that her brother and sister can join her to see Tunus, the half-sheep, but she realizes that Tunus has been captured by the White Witch. At the same time, the beaver couple appears to guide the crowd, and the beaver tells the four siblingsThere is a prophecy that has been circulating in Narnia- The arrival of the four sons of humanity will help them overthrow the rule of the White Witch, and Aslan, the king of the forest, will return. Hearing this, Edmund snuck off to the White Witch's castle, where he tried to sit on the icy throne with a smile of success on his face. The White Witch was angry when he saw that Edmund was the only one coming, and Edmund defended himself by trying to bring his siblings with him, while they were at the beaver's house. The White Witch ordered her secret police to go to Beaver's house to capture the three siblings, and backhanded Edmund as if he were in a dungeon awaiting execution. Frightened by witnessing the freezing of Tunus the Half-Sheep in the cold dungeon, Edmund began to think about what he had done.
On the other side, with the help of the Beaver couple, the siblings evade the pursuit of the secret police and are planning to meet Aslan to save the captured Edmund. On the way, they meet Santa Claus, who hasn't appeared for a long timeSanta Claus gave each of the three siblings a gift: Lucy gets the juice of the Flame Flower to give her a drop that can ** any wound from the undead, and also a talisman dagger that tells her that war is ugly;Susan was given a bow and arrows and a trumpet, and at any time it sounded, someone would come to their aidPeter was given a shield and a sword to guard love and justice.
The three brothers and sisters who crossed the glacier came to the territory belonging to the lion king Aslan, and met Aslan at the stone platform. As they arrive, the snow melts, dead wood sprouts, flowers bloom, and the White Witch's magic fades away in the frozen land, and Narnia's prophecy is being fulfilled.
Aslan sent an army of centaurs to rescue Edmund, who was about to be frozen by magic in the dungeon, and the four siblings were reunited. The White Witch chased to the bank of the glacier and wanted to kill the fox who had saved the four brothers and sisters, but Edmond couldn't bear to be moved by compassion in his heart and explained the fact that Aslan was on the stone platform, which did not kill the frozen fox, but betrayed Aslan. The White Witch demanded that Aslan hand over Edmund, because Edmund was her traitor, and it was stipulated in the Code of Creation that all traitors should be handed over to her and must be executed on the stone platform, otherwise Narnia would be destroyed, and Aslan could not disobey the Code of Creation, but secretly signed a secret agreement with the White Witch, and he would be executed instead of Edmund, and the great god of the forest would pardon the rebellious son. The White Witch rejoiced in her heart, because as soon as Aslan died, Narnia would be her world.
On the night of Aslan's execution, Lucy and Susan found out that Aslan had been secretly taken away by the White Witch and secretly followed him to the stone platform, where Aslan was humiliated by the White Witch and her men and executed by a sharp blade, and the White Witch said contemptuously to Aslan"You buried yourself in vain, but no one can save you." The grieving sisters decided to keep vigil for Aslan at the stone platform, and used flower petals to spread the news that Aslan had died and that the White Witch was going to war.
Despite the many methods used, Peter was clearly no match for the old White Witch, and just as Peter's army was retreating, suddenly a golden light appeared on the stone platform, and the dead Aslan walked out of the stone platform in a golden light to meet the sunrise. The White Witch ignored the spell from the Code of Creation:If the faithful are willing to die for the betrayer, the platform will crumble and the dead will be resurrected
On the battlefield, Peter let Edmund go first in order to protect Edmund, but just as the White Witch pointed at Peter, Edmund stepped forward to protect his brother. This is also a reversal of Edmund's state of mind, he has grown from selfishness and greed to kindness and bravery, knowing how to protect his family. Just as Peter was out of the White Witch, Aslan arrived with Susan Lucy and reinforcements, defeated the White Witch, and breathed the breath of life on the frozen soldiers, giving them a new lease of life. At this point, Narnia was liberated, and the four brothers and sisters became the true kings of Narnia, and the Most High was the true ruler of life.
