Chapter 296: Princess Otohime's Bedroom

Hearing Princess Otohime's words, Zhang Su immediately planned to deny it, he has always been an honest person.

"I really want to go to the spirit world." Princess Otohime has big shining eyes.

At this time, Zhang Su realized that the legend of the beautiful mermaid princess was not a lie, and her eyes did have a sweet light, like stars.

"What's good in the spirit world." Zhang Su said.

"This is not like what a spirit messenger should say, you must have been there for too long, and you are used to all the miracles there. But if we ordinary witches want eternal life, we must go to the spirit realm! Princess Otohime said with a smile.

Her voice is young and immature, her posture is tactful and youthful, and when she speaks of excitement, her tail swings and her tail fin hits the ground and pops.

After all these years, Princess Otohime still longs to go to the spirit world...... Zhang Su thought silently.

"Are all the spirit messengers like me?" Zhang Su looked down at his black armor.

"Of course not, I know, their armor is white or gold, with a pair of wings on their backs, and the men are handsome and the women are elegant, in pairs. But you came alone, with a black helmet on your side, and it was serious. It seems that the spiritual world has undergone a lot of changes over the years, and it is very different from what is recorded. Princess Otohime said curiously.

At least 500 years have passed. Zhang Su thought to himself.

How did Princess Otohime persist for such a long time?

"There are a lot of bluestone mirrors in this room." Zhang Su noticed the boulders scattered around the room again.

"They're not just mirrors, they're sound bars that record events. I have brought you here to rest, because this is also the place where our warriors train. The Whale Killer Fist was 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.

Bluestone resembles a video recorder used in the Middle Ages, and as soon as he gets closer, he is reflected in a glimpse of the giant mermaid warrior wielding an iron fist and practicing boxing.

He began to practice according to the martial arts described on the stone wall, and soon felt the subtlety of it.

The extremely fierce sea divine fist can punch out the air and kill people hundreds of meters away.

If there was such a boxing technique when fighting against the monster Mo centipede before, I am afraid that it can be killed in three or two clicks.

This greatly complemented Zhang Su's shortcomings in the remote, and he was immediately attracted by this peerless martial arts, and devoted himself to recording the video released in Qingshi.

Princess Otohime smiled lightly when she saw Zhang Su like this, she had never felt like this kind of companionship.

The Enchanted Sea Dragon Mo Centipede outside had also been ambushed, so she temporarily left the lounge and went to the outside passage.

Through the barrier, Princess Otohime hung on the ancient dragon species that was said to have guarded the underwater dragon palace for thousands of years, hoping that its spirit in the sky would be calmed, she knew that these were all things that should be done, and when they were done, they would have to be crossed out or thrown away, and she was happy 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 her talent was very high, and her every move and style she put forward had reminded her of the ancient portrait of the royal mermaid guard, as if she had practiced for many years.

If he had appeared 500 years ago, the entire palace would have been shocked at that time, and perhaps it would have been recorded in a book. Princess Otohime watched carefully, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.

I thought that such a martial art would always be sealed at the bottom of the sea, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when it would be discovered and brought to the outside world to carry it forward! Princess Otohime continued to look at Zhang Su, feeling that the "outsider" was really worthy of the name and full of mystery.

Zhang Su carefully felt this kind of martial arts.

Very ingeniously, the Undersea Man punches by using the conductive properties of liquids. They threw a punch on the spot, pushing the sea forward, and on the other hand, they also moved along the water itself, as if they were on a fast train, hurrying to crash into the opponent, so that one punch could cover a huge distance in front of them.

If you go back to land and use it properly, you can also bombard the enemy from a wide distance, which 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.

"It's rude." Zhang Su saw Princess Otohime return again, "Venerable Princess Otohime, can you take me on a tour of the world in the sea?" ”

"Of course." Princess Otohime smiled slightly, "Please allow me to take your guests to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Ryugu Castle." ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Lao will lead the way." Zhang Su returned to his standing posture and saluted Princess Otohime, and then followed.

He still knew his purpose, which was to find the Stardust Bricks in the Dragon Palace, so that he could stabilize the spatial passage and facilitate their travel to other worlds, and also help fill the cracks in the world and prevent the demons from breaking in.

This kind of precious material can probably only be discovered in a rare location like Ryugu Castle. I just don't know how much there is. Zhang Su thought silently.

And although Princess Otohime met for the first time, she was also beautiful and kind, almost simple, not as rude as Hongyan said.

I don't know if I can figure out where her obsession with the spirit world comes from, and whether other people in the Dragon Palace have an impact on 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 behaves decently, neither humble nor arrogant, and now she is silently following behind, so that she has great satisfaction, as if she is a little tour guide, this is really the first experience.

Following Princess Otohime's dragon tail, Zhang Su saw the resplendent Dragon Palace City.

Passing through a corridor full of echo wall stones, and then there is a vast landscape, with exquisite underwater gardens spread out, full of pools, separated by stone bridges, interlaced with pavilions and attics, and the roofs are tiled with coral, reef and pearl oysters, extremely vast, like a classical garden under the sea, which is pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately there are cracks in the outer parapet to the ground, as if cut by an earthquake or a huge weapon, and many of the pools have leaked out of seawater.

Princess Otohime took Zhang Su up to the stone bridge.

He saw that the pools on both sides were quiet, and about forty or so calcite crystal fountains were stagnant, but the stone carvings in the water were still beautiful, carved with the appearance of mermaid warriors, fish-headed people, seahorse riders, nautilus, and noble dragon-tailed ladies.

However, some of them were broken, and half of their bodies were smashed into the water, entangled in aquatic weeds, and the gaps were flat, and it was hard to imagine anything that could neatly split the big stone in two.

"This is the vestibule of Dragon Palace City." Princess Otohime introduced with a little pride.

"Isolated at the bottom of the sea, what is life like in Ryugu Castle?" Zhang Su asked.

"We basically have a republican system, with the council made up of representatives of various races, crabs, salamanders, fishmen, dragons, sea dragons, fishmen...... They all send a number of people to Parliament on an equal footing to speak for the rights of their race. Princess Otohime is the leader of everyone! The assistant is the Golden Squid Minister, the smartest man in our seas. Princess Otohime said.

"Dragon-blooded?" Zhang Su listened.

"In the final analysis, we are dragon witches of the sea devil dragon bloodline, our ancestors often reproduced, but the children born are not necessarily witches, there are also ordinary people and other races, but if the blood of our dragon witch is flowing, it is the dragon blood. But they will not be privileged by this, this is the bottom of the sea, which is said to be the most equal place in the world. Princess Otohime said.

"Sounds so good." Zhang Su said.

It seems that the previous Whale Slaying Fist was also developed by powerful dragon-blooded warriors, and they must have been a martial race in ancient times. I didn't expect the Sea Dragon Witch clan to develop such a colorful civilization underwater.

"The great princess Otohime will make them do what they are good at, the mighty lobster tribe digs for pearls and metal at the bottom of the sea, and the clever squid clan records what they see and hears at the bottom of the sea with ink. In my palace, the cubs of all races grow up together, and the plan is to let each of them learn each other's language and culture from an early age, so that when they grow up, they will fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of each other's races, and will not despise or worship each other excessively. Princess Otohime crossed her hands and spoke in a pleasant tone.

"That kind of life must be colorful every day." Zhang Su said.

"If you read a lot, you will know, those huge fish, amazing, the musicians in the court use the fat belly of the catfish as a drum, when the market is open, the sea fish from all directions gather, under the light of the jellyfish lamp, do business, gather together to chat, this is the prosperity I want, do you have such prosperity on land?" Princess Otohime said proudly.

He saw that Princess Otohime was probably going to take him to the main palace.

The entrance to the main hall is covered with a layer of elaborate carpet woven with some kind of white silk thread, and the "grass" on both sides is cultivated with seaweed planted in the seawater, which has grown to 5 or 6 meters in height after breeding, which is very spectacular, a bit like a plantain forest.

"Can't wait to see inside, is it Her Royal Highness the Princess's 'ministers'?" Zhang Su asked.

"Yes!" Princess Otohime nodded vigorously.

"There's still no life detected inside." Lydia reports 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 tabletop, eight wrecks of different shapes sitting on eight high-backed giant seats, from which Zhang Su could discern traces of a mixture of humanoids and aquatic animals, lobster people, dragon people, fish people, and mermaids......

It's been a long time since I've died.

They bow their heads through their hollow eye sockets, or they simply drop their heads to the ground.

Among them was a huge hollow skeleton of a squid, half of the bones were golden, and it held its body on the back of the chair, as if it would keep its balance and become a skeleton after death, as if it had seen its own fate.

Princess Otohime seemed to not see the eight dead, and she slapped the tail of the fish forward and moved on her own.

Zhang Su silently stepped forward to observe carefully.

The table was littered with empty plates and food scraps, which had congealed into a colorless and odorless mortar over time, as were the various silver and stone cups of the seabed, which seemed to have died after a sumptuous Last Supper.

The dusty clothes wrapped around their bodies, and Zhang Su could imagine how beautiful and intact they were hundreds of years ago.

He noticed that the eight Sea Clan ministers all had an open empty box in front of them, and those boxes were similar in style, but there was nothing inside.

And at the end of the throne sat a masked dragon witch, she sat with her back against the huge throne, also holding an open empty square box in her hand, her hands were dried into white bones, and the long dragon tail hung down, and the bones were also clearly recognizable.

Zhang Su saw that her face was covered with a thick gold cloth, as if he didn't want people to see her dead face.

"Princess Otohime?" Zhang Su looked at her, and at this time she was happily walking towards the side hall.

"I'm about to take you to the side hall, where I usually rest." Princess Otohime pointed to her fingers, and a rare shyness appeared on her face.

Zhang Su wanted to find out what happened in Dragon Palace City, why the dragon princess and the eight sea clan ministers here all died, and who was Princess Otohime......

He came to the side hall.

There were coral plants, mahogany dressers, and a huge jade bed, and her dragon tail slapped the ground, bouncing herself like a spring, and then turned to the side and smiled back at Zhang Su.

"Come up and sit with me, or the bottom of the sea will be too boring and lonely, and no one will talk to me." Princess Otohime said.

"Then how does Princess Otohime usually spend her days?" Zhang Su inquired.

"Just look at these things." Princess Otohime happily picked up a stack of stone slabs on the bottom of the sea, these slabs were carved with dense sea Chinese characters, "This is the book, it records everything, all the things I need to know, I still have a lot of things to read, as long as I do what these slate books say, I am the best and most well-behaved Princess Otohime, the ruler of the Dragon Palace!" ”
