Witch containment diary

"I want to reach an agreement with you so that I can complete the 'ultimate solution'." Princess Otohime said.

"Do you know what a connection is?" Zhang Su was helpless.

"I know, according to the records in the stone book, although it looks like a dragon or a fish tail, it doesn't seem to match a human. In fact..." Princess Otohime demonstrated.

Zhang Su's eyes were opened.

He asked Princess Otohime to close the entrance first, and then turned around.

Zhang Su has some complicated conjectures in his mind, but he can't express them yet, and he doesn't know how the "Princess Otohime" in front of him will understand them.

"...Are there any records about the 'Stardust Bricks' on those stone tablets?" Zhang Su asked.

"Stardust brick? Ah, that's something that can seal walls and stop big monsters. I know, I know, it's somewhere in our palace... follow me!" Princess Otohime was very happy.

She patted the jade face with her tail again, her body bounced to the ground deftly, and then she leaped forward with her tail patting, leading Zhang Su through the lifeless palace.

Along a path similar to a "slide", Princess Otohime jumped down and then slid down the water. She looked back at Zhang Su and was startled: "Ah - I forgot that you can't -"

Her voice quickly disappeared into the distance, and her whole body slipped.

Is the fast passage of marine life just a slide? Zhang Su's armor was full of thorns, and he had no choice but to squeeze down.

There was a sound of water all around, and fish could drift with the current in an instant. It took him several times longer than Princess Otohime to get to the bottom.

Princess Otohime sat at the exit of the landslide, turned around and waved to Zhang Su: "We are almost there!"

"Have you been here since you were born?" Zhang Su asked.

"Yes." Princess Otohime jumped forward with brisk movements. Zhang Su felt more and more the devil's aura radiating from a distance.

Princess Otohime finally stopped, and Zhang Su looked up and saw a vast, towering barrier.

He took a deep breath, feeling a little excited.

Dragon Palace cliff! It is made entirely of stardust bricks. There are all the stardust bricks he needs here, more than all the floor tiles in the Red Flame Tunnel, and probably similar to the storage in Dongming Kingdom and even the entire Pacific Theater!

It is enough to block an entire passage and seal the smaller gate to hell.

Stardust bricks are so beautiful, just like their name. The bricks look like they are made up of stars, with blue tiles and blue tiles. But behind it, there are traces of thousands of knives and axes, revealing a bloodthirsty red light. It seems like something is trying to break through these. Stardust Brick, come to Zhang Su, come to the real world.

"This is the Stardust Brick from Dragon Palace...do you have any others left?" Zhang Su stepped forward.

"No more." Princess Otohime raised her head, "The slate said that all of our stardust bricks, 900 pieces, were all used to build this wall. Our Dragon Palace is built here to stop the invasion of demons. The mission of the whole clan is This is what is passed on from generation to generation.”

Zhang Su stared carefully.

Each Stardust Brick itself cannot be destroyed and remains in its original state. Even so, the Sea Dragon Clan did not take it lightly and still maintained a defensive posture here.

The devil probably started attacking a long time ago. Zhang Su thought. This kind of terror can still be faintly penetrated through the wall.

He noticed that there were many gaps on both sides of the Stardust brick wall, and some crazy eyes were peeking out from there. After seeing Zhang Su's presence, they cast evil or ferocious looks.

Perhaps due to immature craftsmanship during the original construction, the stardust bricks did not completely fill the gap. The devil was trying his best to polish the surrounding gaps in the hope of "squeezing in".

Zhang Su looked carefully and found that the gap could actually accommodate some smaller demons to enter, and the Dragon Palace was no longer safe.

Fortunately, he is here now, otherwise a natural disaster will break out three years later, all demon entrances will be strengthened exponentially, and Princess Otohime will be captured and slaughtered in an instant!

Both sides were covered with huge knife marks. He thought of the stone statues in the Dragon Palace courtyard that had half of their bodies chopped off and fell into the pool. He also thought of the entire barrier and the broken garden landscape. Those hard-trained warriors united. The sea clan, the now empty palace and the alone "Princess Otohime"... He sighed.

"Your Highness Princess Otohime, what is your mother's name?" Zhang Su turned around and knelt down on one knee.

"She's also Princess Otohime," she said.

"Then how long have you spent here? How many years?" Zhang Su couldn't help but say.

"Nian?" Princess Otohime didn't know.

This is about 1,200 meters deep on the bottom of the North Pacific Ocean. There is no light, no sun and moon, and no age.

Princess Otohime was jumping around alone on the bottom of the sea, reading the stone book, listening to the contents of the bluestone echo wall, hoping that outsiders would arrive and take her to the spirit world and live a carefree life.

"Do you know Hongyan Bodhisattva?" Zhang Su nodded slowly.

"Hongyan? Bad guy, big bad guy." Princess Otohime clenched her fists, "Hongyan is a particularly annoying person. She is very hateful. If she can make orange rice cakes, she can go to heaven? Why can't we, the Hailong clan who deserve the most credit, can do the same? ?Just leave us here to suffer?"

"Have you seen her?" Zhang Su looked at Princess Otohime.

"Have you seen it? Hmm... no." Princess Otohime shook her head, "It's all written in the stone book."

"The records in the stone book are not completely reliable. Let's go back." Zhang Su returned with Princess Otohime.

Under the slide, Princess Otohime leaned against the slide, waved to Zhang Su, and then pulled down a stone lever.

A surge of sea water surged out from underneath, ejecting her back to the heights of the palace. Zhang Su could only climb up along the pipe.

"You don't have slippery scales like us." Princess Otohime said with a smile.

Zhang Su is the first life other than herself she has seen, and she has a lot to say.

"Is there any stone book that records how strong the demon underneath is?" Zhang Su climbed up.

"I read the Stone Book from beginning to end over and over again and kept it in mind." Princess Otohime sat on her dragon's tail and gestured, "The demons all have terrible swords, and those swords are not from our sea. In order to repel them, almost all the bravest warriors of the Sea Dragon Clan died. The most desperate thing is that after eating the soul of the Sea Dragon, the demons absorbed the power and became stronger. They were finally defeated. The wounds also healed quickly... The sea tribe became extinct in the sea, and many races no longer exist. The most powerful demon, wielding a magic knife that can separate everything, is recorded as the 'Blade Herald'."

A messenger-level demon! The source of fear behind it is the "blade".

For a demon as sharp as a knife, its combat prowess and tactics cannot be underestimated.

They are all elites directly under the root demon. At the level of hell, they are equivalent to legion commanders or warlords of a separate faction. In short, they are about as powerful as Nazmi.

Zhang Su felt troubled. It took everyone's efforts to defeat Nazmi, but now they may have to seek help.

The Demonic Emissary may also have an entire legion with him. For example, the puppet demon that occupied the Centipede before was probably the auxiliary soldier of that legion. It survived and was waiting for an opportunity to devour the ancient dragon. It's just that he was defeated by Zhang Su now, otherwise it would have caused a catastrophe.

"Come up." Princess Otohime helped pull Zhang Su up, smiling, "Your hands are so big!"

"Thank you." Zhang Su climbed up, but was still thinking of a way.

If you take away the stardust bricks used to block the door of Dragon Palace, the devil here will come out. Zhang Su thought.

What's worse is that if the Dragon Palace itself collapses or is destroyed, the earth's sea will flow directly into the other world along this crack... I don't know how much sea water will be lost, or where it will be flooded.

"Now you basically know where I live." Princess Otohime nodded to Zhang Su, "Tell me where you came from?"

"I was entrusted by the Red Flame Bodhisattva." Zhang Su said, "We used to live on land and in the mountains."

"Not the spirit world? The stone book says that I must try my best to wait for a chance to be taken to the spirit world." Princess Otohime said.

"Did you say why you went to the spirit world?" Zhang Su felt regretful.

"If we go, we sea dragon witches won't have to live in the Undersea Dragon Palace City to guard this stardust brick wall. We can eat and drink every day, enjoy eternal life, and drink precious things called 'immortal delicacies' without going hungry." ." Princess Otohime was very happy.

"Then what are you eating now?" Zhang Su asked.

"Not much to eat." Princess Otohime took Zhang Su to the palace kitchen.

There are many jars here, and fast-growing algae are cultivated in each jar. There is also a fish pond with not many fish in it.

"The jar for making rice cakes..." Zhang Su saw an empty rice cake jar in the corner that had not been used for hundreds of years.

He walked over and saw some dusty stuff inside. He couldn't tell whether it was glutinous rice or rice cakes.

Hongyan once made orange rice cakes for everyone on the seabed here and fed everyone.

"I originally followed the instructions in the Stone Book and the Echo Wall and ate a fixed amount of food. One day I was hungry and ate one more fish, and then another one more fish. The number of fish became unsustainable and became less. If If you go to the spirit world, you will have a lot of food to eat, and you don’t have to count the number of seaweeds and fish to eat..." Princess Otohime was lying next to the fish pond.

"Have you not eaten for a long time?" Zhang Su asked.

"Well, if you continue to be hungry, you will eat your own tail." Princess Otohime lowered her head.

Zhang Su opened the armor's carrying bag, took out a chocolate energy bar, opened the package and handed it to Princess Otohime.

"This is for you." Zhang Su squatted down.

"Oh? It's a wonderful thing." Princess Otohime took it and smelled it carefully, "It smells like nothing I've ever smelled before. It's a bit fragrant."

"It's delicious, give it a try." Zhang Su supplemented her nutrition.

"You really don't look like the bad guy described in the book on stone, and you don't want this or that." Princess Otohime raised her head and smiled at Zhang Su, "I'll just listen to you!"

She ate the little snack, her cheeks bulging. After chewing it, the aroma melted, and her eyes widened.

"I've never tasted such a wonderful thing. It's so sweet! It's delicious!" Princess Otohime said excitedly, the dragon's tail slapping on the ground.

Zhang Su felt pleased.

"Did Princess Otohime hatch from an egg?" Zhang Su asked, "Finally, would you please take me to the incubation room to have a look?"

"Okay!" Princess Otohime was very happy. She had never been so happy since she was born. She met outsiders, had enough food, and could still chat.

She took Zhang Su to the room at the end of the palace. There was a square pool with broken dragon egg shells at the bottom. The pool was soaked in green liquid. Zhang Su remembered that it was very close to the dragon hatching pool of the Mancias family. .

There are 16 bluestone walls lined up around it, showing content from different angles. When Zhang Su stepped forward, they made sounds and reflected blurry images.

"Princess Otohime, Princess Otohime, Princess Otohime..." The first stone wall statue repeats itself endlessly, like an echo from ancient times.

Zhang Su walked along the statues, and they repeated simple syllables. The content was enough to teach an ignorant baby pronunciation and basic language, and tell her where to go.

Next to it stood a huge grain storage urn, now dry.

"Are you going to grow up alone like this?" Zhang Su took Princess Otohime for a walk.

"Huh? Not bad. Every stone is my friend, this is Mr. Talk, this is my teacher, and this is my reliable reading partner." Princess Otohime stroked each stone with words that could be pronounced and reflected images. , "They will call my name over and over again, over and over again, over and over again, and tell me about my life, telling me that I must find a way to go to the spiritual world, go to the spiritual world, get immortality, everything is solved, and there is no need to stay here. Alone."

All things considered, but still alone...forced to stay here and face responsibility.

"Are you bored?" Zhang Su asked.

"It used to be, but not now. You have brought about a lot of changes. You can say unexpected things and move. You also defeated the Centipede. It is the only one that is different from what is recorded in the book and also scares me...I I like you so much." Princess Otohime said.

"Is there any record in the stone book about what this water is?" Zhang Su couldn't bear to say any more and turned to look at the water in the hatching pool.

If these can help Princess Otohime hatch, it might also help Kati's dragon egg.

Princess Otohime suddenly became alert.

"It's the dragon vein potion." Princess Otohime turned around, "I can't tell you about this! Because it's written in the stone book, if anyone inquires about the water in the hatching pond, that's a bad person!"

"Sorry." Zhang Su raised his head, this room is really big.

"But if you can take me to the spirit world, write it off. I will tell you the formula of the dragon vein potion. I will tell you everything. I want to go out. I don't want to stay here anymore. It's so lonely here." Otohime said the princess.

Now that things have come to this, Zhang Su tries to figure out the order of events.

In ancient times, the Sea Clan was almost destroyed due to the invasion of demons. As a royal family, the Sea Dragon Witch fought hard and sealed the demon entrance at the bottom, and was forced to stay here to guard it.

During long-term confinement, generations of "Princess Otohime" were close to madness due to loneliness and isolation from the world. The previous generation of Princess Otohime was even more desperate and angry because her friend Hong Yan could go to the spirit world, and finally committed suicide together with the ministers of the sea clan. In the human world, the Dragon Palace City civilization eventually collapsed about 300 years ago.

But a witch's egg was left behind.

When everyone is no longer alive, this egg is stored and will hatch on its own in a recent era.

This child, who grew up under the guidance of the blue stone wall and the stone book, inherited the name, identity and all memories of the previous generation Princess Otohime, and finally appeared in front of Zhang Su!

"I want to go out, I want to go out!" Seeing Zhang Su's silence, Princess Otohime emphasized again. She took a deep breath and raised her voice, "In the worst case, we will leave another dragon egg in this room until she grows up. Finally, she will patrol this place for me, this is the ultimate solution..."

Zhang Su held her hand.

"Princess Otohime, let me take you out of the loop."
