41. Suspicious potions
The suspiciously colored green potion exudes a smell very similar to that of the wind oil essence, and the crystal clear texture is not much different from the wind oil essence.
"What is this?"
Rijki is skeptical about its effectiveness. Although she had been mentally prepared for the strange color and smell of the potion, it was difficult to swallow the green liquid in front of her.
"The specially developed formula for witches who like rock climbing can make the body tougher, but the limbs are more flexible than before drinking potions, and the physical exertion is greatly reduced, and there are also witches who like to take it on their wedding night to enhance their endurance. Essentially, the effects of this [Strength Potion] and that bottle of potion are two completely different concepts. ”
It's not the first time that Moon has drunk a potion of strange colors, green is just the most basic one, much more normal than rainbow and sludge colors.
"To reassure you, I'll drink it first."
In front of Ruiji, Moon raised her head and poured half a bottle of potion and gave the rest to her.
"It's not poisonous, and it can't drink the dead. It has been personally certified by Garner Stuart, the chief potions master of the United Nations Potions Division and the Grand Witch, and has been patented. If you have a problem drinking, I'll be arrested by the police witch immediately. ”
"Uh...... I try. ”
Drinking potions for the first time in your life is always a bit difficult. But since the partners have drunk it generously, they can't be too hypocritical.
Think of it as a Coke or Fanta, close your eyes, and aim at the mouth of the bottle to suffocate it all at once, and it doesn't seem that difficult. The cool, slightly sweet liquid runs down the throat and into the stomach, refreshing along the way.
It's neither delicious nor unpleasant, and it doesn't work out.
waited for half a bottle of potion to be swallowed, and then realized that he and Yue shared a bottle. I didn't show any dislike for this, so there's nothing to worry about.
Only fourteen or fifteen-year-olds would react strongly to such minutiae, and Ruiji happens to be more nervous in this regard. She burped and returned the empty glass bottle.
The potion began to take effect one minute after ingestion, and a light warm current rose from the stomach, circulating in the blood and muscles, and significantly strengthening the body.
The moon jumped slightly, and her hands steadily climbed up to a bulge on the rock wall of Wailing Mountain.
The vertical cliffs stretched from the bottom upwards into the sky, and without the dutiful assistance of Lady Yoshino, they would have taken many detours.
Everything is a choice of fate.
After the moon climbed up about five meters, Ruiji followed the path she was moving to climb up. The negative effect of the downward vertical gravity of the body on the arms was reduced by the potion, and the difficulty of the rock climbing was directly reduced by several levels, and it was not difficult at all.
It's no wonder that Yue Neng boasted that he could conquer the world's tallest Mount Everest at the age of 18. All difficulties have become pale in the face of the witch's power, and in the last world line, Mount Everest will always be a moat that prevents human beings from challenging their limits.
Countless climbers died on the way to the summit due to factors such as thin oxygen and cold, and physical exhaustion, and the most famous climber died at an altitude of 8,500 meters, suspected to be the "green boots" of climbers from India.
In the world of witches, the height of 8,848 meters obviously cannot have any fatal effect on witches, and they can even create conditions for hot pot barbecue on the top of the mountain, and enjoy it while overlooking the world.
In the time that Ruiji was slightly distracted, the moon had climbed more than thirty meters.
Looking up from where I was, I could only see a pair of black canvas shoes moving, and white safety pants looming at the bottom of the skirt.
Safety pants can only make people feel boring, but they are a must-have for witches who often have to fly around in the air. Almost all witches buy themselves a batch of safety pants, unless they don't like to wear skirts.
The timeline in the regional weird story is late autumn, and the sky in late autumn is dark early, and there is no sunlight before six o'clock. Because the mountainous area of Kansai is far from the metropolitan area, there are no brilliant neon lights around, and there are no conditions to make the entire area as bright as day, so it was not long before it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see objects.
Beforehand, Mrs. Yoshino told them not to panic because of this. When night falls, the silver bell grass that grows on the cliff face will gradually appear, providing a light source for climbers.
There are silver bell grasses everywhere on the Sorrow Mountain, and the silver-white halo has a dreamy and ethereal feeling. The cliffs, which can barely be seen, are illuminated by the light of the stamens and petals of the silver bell grass, which is not dazzling, but faint, like a nightlight for the night.
The glowing position of the silver bell grass looks like a wide band of light wrapped around the mountain, bringing some comfort and peace of mind to those who move on moonless nights.
When the lights were lit up in the town of Asahina, Ruiji and Tsuki successfully reached the top. It is said to be a "small hill" of several hundred meters, and the height is almost 800 meters.
Mt. Akabane next door is about 200 meters lower than Mt. Sorrow, and through the cracks in the rocks, you can faintly see witches patrolling the airspace above the shrine in full gear on motorized broomsticks with a roaring sound.
The witches are dressed in Showa costumes, most of them wear kimonos, a black witch hat on their heads, and lanterns hanging from their brooms.
Hanging some signs and banners on a floating platform between Mt. Akabane and Mt. Wai prohibits tourists from climbing and flying, and it seems that strange stories have penetrated into the hearts of this group of superstitious people and become the consensus in their hearts.
Riji only thought it was ridiculous, silently laughing at their narrowness and ignorance.
The two of them took a break at the top of the mountain to observe the flight path of the witches. Maybe it's because the patrol work is too boring, plus there hasn't been a big situation in these years, and the patrol team's work is not very detailed, and it seems that the shrine god didn't pay them overtime, otherwise they wouldn't be lazy to this extent.
"I saw them playing shogi and some people playing cards, and with such loose security, it always felt like they were playing around."
"Who will be motivated in a job that is not beneficial? This makes it easier for us to get people out. The shrine is closed to the public tonight, and the attention of those people is focused on the main hall, so it's hard to start, otherwise I wouldn't want to wait for a day. ”
There are at least 20 people at the entrance of the most ornate building in the center of the shrine, and the shrine witch and the ordinary witch make up half of the door, which can be regarded as a well-guarded one. By tomorrow evening, Asahina Shrine will open to visitors, and as the population density rises, the difficulty of sneaking in will plummet.
Since becoming a witch, many seemingly impossible things have become simpler.
"If we can use invisibility magic, we might be able to go home tonight, and maybe enjoy a signature tonkotsu ramen at the ramen shop."
Rydge let out an unrealistic exclamation.
