Witch Containment Log

Chapter 265 Gathering at the Peak
Half a year has passed since the battle at Mount Kaguraku.

"Hey-" Hayho stood on the edge of the cliff and shouted into the valley.

The snow-covered mountains are filled with her echoes.

"Put on the cotton hat." Zhang Su patted a hat with wool felt and a drawstring on top of Zaosui's head.

He couldn't hand it to her, Saho would definitely shake it off and run away. He had to pat it directly on top of her head before she could put it on.

"It's really cold here." Hayho put on his hat and breathed out like frost.

She has grown taller.Zhang Su thought.Short people generally can't tell how tall a tall person is, but tall people can tell the difference between a short person and a short person.

In Zhang Su's eyes, Saho already looks respectable. Thanks to nutrition, healthy routine and adequate exercise, she has turned from a little kid into a young girl.

"This is the top of Kagura Mountain. Of course it's cold." Zhang Su looked far away.

An'in looks like a coin from this distance.

"Have you really fought a tough battle here?" Hayho was curious.

"Of course. The snow under your feet was once barren and dry, allowing demons to trample on it. On the day of the decisive battle, 4 people died, and all the remaining troops lost their combat effectiveness. Many people retired due to physical and mental disabilities. On the main peak of Kagura Mountain, the most elite battle The decisive battle between the personnel and the most powerful figures and the leader of the demon army, Nazmi, was extremely brutal. Everyone tried their best and paid a huge price to win. Even the mysterious man in black armor disappeared. The Shadow Witch was among them. He has contributed a lot," Zhang Su said.

"Everyone is a hero. I want to be a witch so that I can become famous." Hayho wiped his nose.

She has grown a lot since meeting her mother that day.The only problem was that she would sometimes replace her mocking words with a look of contempt that was even more offensive than the words she said.

"Letting you go up the mountain is not to let you show off as a hero, but to let you understand that victory is hard-won." Zhang Su said.

"The road is so slippery. I'm following you because I'm afraid you might stumble and fall! I care about you, Da Su." Zaohui disagreed.

I really am not as flexible as I used to be.Zhang Su thought.The wounds left on my body that day are still aching, and there are always flaws in the movement of the breath, and I always feel that it is not as perfect and skillful as before.

"Let's walk around the mountain one more time and then go down. It's Lian Yang's birthday." Zhang Su said.

"Yeah!" Hayho smiled.

Her face has also grown. It used to be a round face, earthy, and a bit silly.Now she looks like a young girl, more skinny, more delicate and delicate, with a self-righteous air and smile on her face, exuding an unrestrained temperament from the inside out.

Saho took long strides in the snow, leaving a trail of footprints along the way.

There are many tree species transported from remote counties and towns on both sides to be used in the afforestation project on the main peak of Shenle Mountain to smooth out the impact of the erosion area as much as possible. The soil also comes from other mountain peaks, layer upon layer, blocking the blackened soil below. bedrock.

"Where is the Gate of Hell? It's the one you took me hunting to show me when you first came here," said Saho.

"It's right there." Zhang Su pointed to the top of the mountain.

"Ah!" Hayho raised his head, "This is..."

"That's right, the Gate of Hell." Zhang Su looked up at the ruins.

It was originally an arched structure with a height of hundreds of meters, but now only the towering black building materials are left, completely sealed with mud. After drying, it becomes gray and completely inconspicuous, like the ribs of some prehistoric creature, standing on the earth. .

The strange legacy of demons and hell is properly addressed, which is the best outcome for everyone.Zhang Su thought.People no longer have to worry about demons and save a lot of money.

"The door seems to have many traces of battle damage, and there is also a ditch on the ground." Hayao touched the snow.

"This door was not very harmful at first, but the big impact was because the Shadow Witch opened it with force ten years ago in order to leave Dongming Country to practice in other worlds." Zhang Su said.

Saho was very excited when she heard it and planned to imitate her mother.

"Take my kick." Hayho rushed forward enthusiastically and kicked the pillar with his right foot, "You are the one who calls the Gate of Hell, right?" She covered her right foot and jumped back on one leg, "Ouch - it bites people!"

"The wind is too strong. Do you feel cold? You'll catch a cold. Go down the mountain quickly." Zhang Su stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking everything around him.

Mountains rise and fall, far away from human habitation.

"I'm not going down there. I'm very strong and won't catch a cold!" Hayho walked around, inspecting the remains of the Gate of Hell with great interest. Perhaps his curiosity overshadowed the feeling of coldness.

"The air here is very clean." Zhang Su breathed the air of the mountains.

"The mountain breeze is so refreshing. You will live a long life if you live here." Hayho stretched.

"It's hard to imagine that Kagura Mountain was eroded into a wasteland before." Zhang Su said.

"By the way, Da Su, what happened next? After the war, where did everyone go?" Hayho asked.

"Of course the war has a reasonable ending. Chloe and Jiangqu made great achievements and were transferred to other parts of the world to protect peace and fight against demons. Dongming Country is just one of the achievements of the angel sisters in their careers. They are now dealing with the Finnish country. The Gate of Hell. Yoshiyo Akazawa went to Hokkaido to fight against the devil, and gradually adapted to the rhythm and pursued more results. Katie built a nest in the mountains, and we will visit there next time we come." Zhang Su said.

Sister Katie is going to lay a big egg.Hayho found it interesting.

She also knew that the Shadow Witch had slipped back into hell before the gates closed, leaving endless new worlds to explore.She asserted that her mother was the most adventurous person in the world.

"What about you? Everyone has left, but Da Su has come back to be with us. You really can't do it without me." Hayho asked again.

"My level has jumped up a bit from here." Zhang Su raised his hand in the air, and then raised it higher, "Official mobile supervisor, senior supervisor will be replaced soon."

"Where are Stinky Feet and Shorty?" asked Hayho.She still remembered how annoying those two were at Ansin Home Supervision last summer. "Edith helped seal the Gate of Hell on Mount Kaguraku and was transferred away from Dongming Kingdom to go to the South Pacific War Zone. The South Pacific is the sea to our south, and there are many small islands there. And the dwarf Kazama Yoshikaei you mentioned , he is now the director of the Witch Countermeasures Bureau." Zhang Su looked into the distance, the sky was almost gray.

"Why don't you beat the chief?" Hayho put her hands on her hips, "We can take care of ourselves -" Her face suddenly wrinkled.

"Sneeze—" Hayho sneezed.

"This is what happens when you linger at the top of the mountain for too long. It's time to go down the mountain." Zhang Su led Zaosui down the mountain.

"If you become an invincible and powerful witch, you won't even be afraid of the cold, and you can do whatever they want." Hayho said nonsense.

"You are an older boy now, so you should speak more politely." Zhang Su took the path down the mountain.The landscape of Mount Kagura is now increasingly restored, and Koi has left behind a permanent ritual to bridge the space cracks, making Ansinin and even the nearby town of Gozenmachi feel at ease.This time he went up the mountain and once again tested the mountain's resilience.

"Oh? You all speak with the same virtue. Only when I speak like this can I show my greatness and uniqueness. Otherwise, I will become as mediocre as you." Hayho said.

"What should you do if others hate you because of this?" Zhang Su asked.

"I don't need others to treat me well or anything, I am powerful enough on my own." Saho's magic power has improved more and more, and she can almost reach the mature form of a witch at a young age, making her the first among all children.

"Then I'll go down the mountain first." Zhang Su felt funny.He had been holding down his pace, but now he was going down the mountain at a normal speed.

"Hey!" Zaohui was shocked. He saw Zhang Su appearing 50 meters away almost in the blink of an eye. After a while, he almost lost sight of his back, "That's so fast, Su!"

She looked around and saw tall mountains and treacherous trees on both sides. Because it was a temporary terrain restoration project, the trees that had been roughly transplanted were all arranged in neat rows. Also, it was late winter and they were leafless. The trees looked like wooden corpses planted upright. She immediately woke up. A chill.

Saho couldn't help but sweatdrops as he thought about the legends about demons and the grand decisive battle at Kagura Mountain that Zhang Su mentioned.

"Wow -" she trotted forward, "That was all nonsense. I need others very much! Help!"

She ran out of breath for about a few hundred meters, walking down a snowy slope.

The snow was slippery, but luckily Zhang Su changed her into bigger boots before setting off.

At first she complained about the cumbersome shoes, but now she was just glad that they were durable enough and were very stable when running.

"I personally measured every step of this mountain. At that time, under the influence of the devil's power, the area of ​​​​the mountain almost doubled." Zhang Su leaned against a tree and saw Hayho coming panting. , "But now that the landscape has returned, I can't recognize anything about this mountain. I don't know which one is the real Kagura Mountain."

"Don't worry about that mountain." Hayho put his hands on his knees and gasped for air, "Quick, Da Su, carry me down the mountain."

"You have grown up, and no one is carrying you." Zhang Su walked down the mountain, "You are sweating now, so you shouldn't be cold anymore."

"Why can't you carry it when you grow up?" Zaho was angry, "Dasu, you and I should always be good brothers, right?"

"Where did you learn the words?" Zhang Su measured the distance of each step in his heart, "A mobile phone? I shouldn't have given you a mobile phone."

"Why do trees lose their leaves in winter?" Zaho was afraid that Zhang Su would confiscate his phone, so he changed the topic.

"Because winter is cold and dry, the leaves of trees will accelerate evaporation and water loss, so they simply fall off to save water." Zhang Su looked at the bare trees around him.

"Da Su, you are so good at bragging. There is snow all over the ground. Snow is just water. How can it be dry?" Saho shook his head.

"Snow is solid water and cannot be absorbed directly. You can only wait for some to melt into snow water, but it is too little. Moreover, melting snow water will absorb heat, which will be colder for plants and more likely to cause frost damage." Zhang Su said.

"Some of the leaves are still alive, and they are still very green in winter," said Saho.

"Those are evergreen trees, their leaves are smaller and narrower, and the trees are more cold-resistant." Zhang Su explained.

"Why was it so cold on the top of the mountain just now?" Hayho aroused his curiosity about the world.

"For every 100 meters of elevation, the temperature drops by 0.6 degrees Celsius. The altitude of Mt. Kagurura is 800 meters, and the temperature drops by approximately 4.8 degrees Celsius, which is 0 degrees at the foot of the mountain. It is already below zero on the mountain, so of course it is cold," Zhang Su said.

"Why pinch?" Saho felt that the strategy was successful and continued to ask blindly.

"Because the sun warms the earth, the earth warms the atmosphere, and the atmosphere returns the earth. This is a formula taught in class. And the higher the mountain, the weaker the ground heat source it receives." Zhang Su said.

"Oh! I remember these formulas. And what Rena said in math class is that odd changes to even, and the symbols look at the quadrants." As Saho said, she started to cry, and was so moved by her own wisdom, "Oh my god Ah, I'm so smart..."

"There is still more to learn." Zhang Su said.

"The words you said are so amazing, and the textbooks I studied, they all talk about another world." Hayho couldn't help but said, "It's solar radiation, physics, and... Mathematics, this and that, makes it seem like the world is scientific, but it sounds incredible to me.”

"Then what do you think?" Zhang Su was amused.

"Why don't we have enough magic spirit? For example, the reason why it gets cold in high places is because the Sun Witch is not working hard and there is not much sunlight. The reason why the trees fall off their leaves is because of the witch in the plant path. It's hard to see why the plants are still green in the winter." Hayao have a bee in one's bonnet.

"Well, this is also a side view of things. The important thing is to accept viewpoints from different angles. Don't be black and white. Don't use science to deny fantasy, and don't use fantasy to deny science. In our world, everything coexists. , harmonious." He took Saho back to Anxinyuan.

On the way back, Zhang Su recalled the Battle of Kagura Mountain again in his mind.From breaking through the sea of ​​​​jail trees to the decisive battle with Nazmi, everyone tried their best to win a great victory.

This war changed the fate of too many people. Witches, humans, the spirit world, human defense plans and Dongming national affairs, each force has its own gains.Zhang Su thought silently.

Everyone went their separate ways, gained honors and merits for their participation in the war, and became great people.Nazmi's remains were also recovered and processed for a long time to create the most terrifying treasure in history.Zhang Su is looking forward to it.A demon army leader level material, the Creation Furnace can process them into legendary items.

Then, it is time to conduct research and investigation into the new world "Flame Vase Seven" behind the Gate of Hell. The Red Flame Bodhisattva has already begun to dig the tunnel leading to the Flaming Vase Seven. It is estimated that the digging is almost done now. It is time to have a good chat with the Bodhisattva about this. thing.
