Witch containment diary
Chapter 298 Princess Otohime’s Palace
After hearing what Princess Otohime said, Zhang Su immediately planned to deny it. He had always been an honest person.
"I really want to go to the spirit world." Princess Otohime opened her big shining eyes.
Only then did Zhang Su realize that the legend of the beautiful mermaid princess was not a lie. There was indeed a sweet light in her eyes, like stars.
"What's so good about the spiritual world?" Zhang Su said.
"This is not what a messenger from the spirit world should say. You must have stayed there for too long and have become accustomed to all the miracles there. But if we ordinary witches want to gain eternal life, we must go to the spirit world. !" Princess Otohime said with a smile.
Her voice is young and childish, and her posture is graceful and youthful. When she talks excitedly, her tail swings back and forth, and her tail fin slaps the ground and makes a popping sound.
After so many years, Princess Otohime still longs to go to the spirit world... Zhang Su thought silently.
"Are all messengers from the spirit world similar to me?" Zhang Su looked down at his black armor.
"Of course it doesn't look like it. I know that their armors are all white or gold, with a pair of wings on their backs. The men are handsome and the women are elegant, and they come in pairs. But you came alone, wearing a black helmet, so serious . It seems that many changes have taken place in the spirit world over the years, which are very different from the records." Princess Otohime said curiously.
At least 500 years have passed. Zhang Su thought.
How did Princess Otohime persist for such a long time?
"There are many bluestone mirrors in this room." Zhang Su once again noticed the huge rocks scattered around the room.
"They are not ordinary mirrors, they are echo walls that can record things. I specially brought you here to rest, because this is also the place where our warriors train. The Whale Killing Fist is practiced here." Princess Otohime said lively.
Zhang Su's heart moved when he heard this, and he walked to one of the mirrors to watch.
The bluestone is like a video recorder used in the Middle Ages. Once he gets closer, a fleeting image of a giant mermaid warrior will appear, waving his iron fist and practicing boxing.
He began to practice the martial arts according to the description on the stone wall, and soon he felt the subtleties of it.
The extremely powerful Divine Fist of the Sea can punch out the energy in the air and kill people hundreds of meters away.
If he had had such boxing skills when fighting against the monster Mo Centipede before, he would have been able to kill him instantly with just a few hits.
This greatly complemented Zhang Su's shortcomings in long-range disadvantages. He was immediately attracted by this peerless martial arts and devoted himself to recording the video on the bluestone.
Princess Otohime smiled softly when she saw Zhang Su like this. She had never felt this kind of companionship.
The possessed sea dragon Mo Centipede outside had also been killed, so she temporarily left the lounge and headed to the outer passage.
Across the barrier, Princess Otohime paid homage to the ancient dragon species that was said to have guarded the Dragon Palace under the sea for thousands of years, hoping that its spirit in the sky could be peaceful. She knew that these were things that should be done, and she had to cross them out or throw them away after they were done. It's nice to have one less thing to worry about.
After a while, when Princess Otohime came back, she found that Zhang Su was still concentrating on martial arts and was very talented. Every move he performed reminded her of the ancient portraits of royal mermaid guards, as if he had practiced for many years.
If he had appeared in the era 500 years ago, everyone in the palace would have been shocked, and maybe he would have been recorded in a book. Princess Otohime watched carefully, feeling more and more happy.
I thought that such martial arts would always be sealed under the sea, but I never thought that one day it would be discovered and brought to the outside world for promotion! Princess Otohime continued to look at Zhang Su, feeling that the "outsider" was truly well-deserved and full of mystery.
Zhang Su felt this martial arts carefully.
Very cleverly, the undersea people use the conductive properties of liquids to punch. They punched on the spot, and the force of the punch pushed the sea water forward, while also moving along the sea water itself, as if they were on a fast train, hurriedly trying to hit each other, so one punch could cover a huge distance in front of them.
If you return to land and use it properly, you can kill enemies from a wide distance. It is really exquisite.
Zhang Su used the recording function of the helmet to record the videos on these large bluestones, hoping to improve them carefully.
"I'm sorry." Zhang Su saw Princess Otohime returning again, "Dear Princess Otohime, can you take me to visit the underwater world?"
"Of course." Princess Otohime smiled slightly, "Please allow me to show you the grand view of Ryugu Castle."
"Your Highness, Princess, please lead the way." Zhang Su returned to his standing position, saluted Princess Otohime, and then followed.
He still knew his purpose, which was to find the Stardust Bricks in the Dragon Palace, which would stabilize the space passage and facilitate their travel to other worlds. It would also help fill the cracks in the world and prevent demons from intruding.
This precious material can probably only be unearthed in rare places like Dragon Palace City. I just don’t know how much there is in stock. Zhang Su thought silently.
And although Princess Otohime is the first time we meet, she is also kind, almost innocent, and not as unruly as Hong Yan said.
I wonder if we can figure out where her obsession with the spirit world comes from, and whether other people in the Dragon Palace have influenced her.
Princess Otohime also has a good impression of Zhang Su. The book says that such warriors and reckless men are generally informal, but Zhang Su is very polite and decent in doing things, neither humble nor overbearing. Now he is following behind silently, so that she can I am extremely satisfied, as if I have been a little tour guide. This is really my first experience.
Following Princess Otohime's dragon tail, Zhang Su saw the splendid Ryugu Castle.
Passing through a corridor filled with echoing wall stones, there is a vast scene. Exquisite underwater gardens spread out, with pools everywhere, separated by stone bridges, intertwined with pavilions and lofts, and roofs made of coral. , reefs and pearl shells are paved with tiles. It is extremely vast, like a classical garden on the seabed, which is pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, there are cracks from the outer protective wall to the ground, which look like they were cut by an earthquake or a huge weapon. Many pools have lost all their sea water. .
Princess Otohime took Zhang Su to the stone bridge.
He saw that the pools on both sides were quiet, and about forty calcite crystal fountains had stopped. However, the stone carvings in the water were still very beautiful, carving the appearance of mermaid warriors, fish-headed men, seahorse riders, nautiluses, and noble dragon-tailed ladies. .
However, some of them have been broken, and half of the body was smashed into the water, entangled in water plants, and the gaps were flat. It is difficult to imagine what could neatly split the big stone into two.
"This is the vestibule of Ryugu Castle." Princess Otohime introduced with a little pride.
"Isolated under the sea, what is life like in Dragon Palace City?" Zhang Su asked.
"We basically adopt a republican system. The parliament is composed of representatives of various races. Crabs, salamanders, fishmen, dragonbloods, sea dragons, fish tribes... They all equally send some people to attend the parliament to represent their own races. Princess Otohime is the leader of everyone! Her assistant is the Golden Squid Minister, who is the smartest person in our sea." Princess Otohime said.
"Dragon-blooded one?" Zhang Su listened.
"In the final analysis, we are dragon witches with the blood of the Sea Demon Dragon. Our ancestors often reproduced, but the children we gave birth to are not necessarily witches. There are also ordinary people and other races, but if the blood of our dragon witch is flowing, it is dragon blood. But they will not get special privileges because of this. This is the bottom of the sea, which is said to be the most equal place in the world." Princess Otohime said.
"Sounds really good." Zhang Su said.
It seems that the previous Whale Killing Fist was also developed by the powerful dragon blood warriors. They must have been a martial race in ancient times. I didn't expect that the Sea Dragon Witch clan could develop such a colorful civilization underwater.
"The great Princess Otohime will let them use their talents, the strong lobster tribe digs for pearls and metals on the seabed, and the clever squid clan records their experiences on the seafloor with ink. In my palace, the cubs of all races grow up together , this is the plan, so that they can learn each other's language and culture from an early age, so that when they grow up, they can fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of each other's races, and will not despise or worship each other too much." Princess Otohime crossed her arms and spoke happily.
"That kind of life must be colorful every day." Zhang Su said.
"If you read a lot, you will know that those huge fish are so amazing. The musicians in the palace used the fat belly of the catfish as a drum. When the market was open, sea fish from all directions gathered here, and under the light of the jellyfish lamp We go down to do business and gather together to chat. This is the prosperity I want. Do you have such prosperity on your land?" Princess Otohime said proudly.
He saw that Princess Otohime was probably taking him to the main palace.
The entrance to the main hall is covered with an exquisite carpet woven with some kind of white silk thread. The "grass" on both sides is cultivated with seaweed grown in seawater. After selection, they all grow to a height of 5 or 6 meters, which is very spectacular. , a bit like a banana forest.
"I can't wait to take a look inside. Are Her Royal Highness the Princess's 'officials' there?" Zhang Su asked.
"Yes!" Princess Otohime nodded vigorously.
"Still no life has been detected inside." Lydia reported on the helmet panel.
"As long as Princess Otohime is alive." Zhang Su said.
Zhang Su followed Princess Otohime to the hall under the canopy of the atrium.
He saw a slender basalt table with eight remains of different shapes sitting on eight high-backed giant seats. Zhang Su could distinguish traces of a mixture of humanoid creatures and aquatic animals from them, including lobster men, dragon men, and fish. Humans and mermaids...
Has been dead for a long time.
They lower their heads through empty eye sockets, or simply drop their heads to the ground.
Among them is a huge hollow squid skeleton, half of the skeleton is golden. It puts its body on the back of a chair, as if it can keep itself balanced, and it will not collapse when it becomes a skeleton after death. It seems that it has gained insight. own destiny.
Princess Otohime seemed unable to see the eight dead people, and just moved forward by slapping the fish's tail.
Zhang Su silently stepped forward and observed carefully.
The table was covered with empty plates and food scraps, which had condensed into colorless and odorless mortar over the years. Various silver and stone cups on the sea floor were also empty. It seemed that they had died after a sumptuous last supper.
Gray clothes were wrapped around their bodies. Zhang Su could imagine how exquisite and intact they were hundreds of years ago.
He noticed something. Each of the eight Sea Clan ministers had an open, empty square box in front of them. The boxes were similar in style and had nothing inside.
And sitting on the throne at the end was a masked dragon witch. She was sitting with her back against the huge throne. She was also holding an open empty square box in her hand. Her hands were withered into bones, and her long dragon tail was hanging down. Coming down, the same bones are clearly identifiable.
Zhang Su saw that her face was covered with thick gold cloth, as if she didn't want others to see her dead face.
"Princess Otohime?" Zhang Su looked at her as she walked happily towards the side hall.
"I'm about to take you to the side hall, which is where I usually rest." Princess Otohime pointed at her, a rare shyness appearing on her face.
Zhang Su wanted to find out what happened to Dragon Palace City, why the Dragon Princess and the eight Sea Tribe ministers here all died, and who was Princess Otohime...
He came to the side hall.
There were coral plants, a mahogany dressing table and a huge jade bed. Her dragon tail slapped the ground hard, letting herself bounce up like a spring. Then she turned sideways and turned back to smile at Zhang Su.
"Come up and sit with me, otherwise it will be too boring and lonely at the bottom of the sea, and no one will talk to me." Princess Otohime said.
"Then how does Princess Otohime spend her days?" Zhang Su asked.
"Just by looking at these things." Princess Otohime happily picked up a stack of stone slabs on the sea floor. These stone slabs were all engraved with dense Chinese characters. "This is the book. It records everything, everything I need to know. I still have a lot of things to read, but as long as I follow what these tablets say, I will be the best and most well-behaved Princess Otohime, the ruler of Ryugu!"
