The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 281 Senior Sister Renee
"Senior!"

Renee, who was making breakfast, twitched her ears and said with a smile:

"Living alone is so lonely, I can even hear the voices of my female classmates."

It's only the first week. Even if some third-year female students have started exploring the inner area, it's impossible for them to have arrived in the mountain forest area now.

It will be even harder for them to find me.

"Are you home, senior?"

Renee: "???"

Why did I hear that again?

Could it be that picking morning glories yesterday damaged their ears?
She stopped what she was doing and listened intently.

"Senior!"

Renee immediately looked towards the door. Was a junior really calling her?
She quickly went to open the door.

“Senior Renee! It really is you!” Sylph exclaimed.

Renee was even more surprised than them: "Come in and tell me, how did you find my place?"

Renee stopped making new dishes herself and used cooking magic to cook the dishes she was most familiar with. She then pulled Moran and the others to sit down and chat.

"How did you manage to get here from the mountains and forests outside the desert?"

“Senior, we didn’t come from the desert,” Sylph said.

Moran thought to herself, "It seems that beyond the yellow sand is also mountainous terrain."

"So you were planning to use the antidote and fly directly from the Green Swamp?" Renee was extremely surprised when they shook their heads again. "You didn't ride flying broomsticks and barge in from Lonely Peak Forest, did you?! You're truly amazing, even in your third year!"

Moran and the other two shook their heads again: "We flew here from the grasslands."

"What? Green meadow? How is that possible! No matter how fast you fly, you can't fly over a green meadow in a single day. A place like a green meadow is so dangerous that even an adult witch can't withstand the night, let alone you!" Renee was skeptical.

Until Moran and the others took out their academy map.

In the inner area shrouded in gray fog, a green line running straight through the grass is clearly visible on the paper, proving that they had indeed crossed the grass.

Renee was shocked: "How did you do that? The minefield at night is so terrifying, so many little witches have fallen victim to it."

“When you dig a hole underground, the lightning disperses when it hits the ground,” Moran said.

"Digging a hole? It's not like no one has tried it, but if there's even a small gap, you'll get an electric shock. If you completely seal it off, it gets more and more uncomfortable, and then you'll faint. How did you guys dig the hole?"

Renee was eager to know the answer.

Her place is wonderful in every way, but it's not easy to get to the Academy Castle.

She always had to leave a week in advance, detour to the other side of the yellow sand, and fly from the desert to the core area.

Although sandstorms are severe in the Yellow Sandy Land, you can escape them by building a small shelter using the Earth Wall spell.

Other areas are even more difficult to traverse; one wrong move and the headmaster will have to come to your rescue, and all your previous savings will be gone.

Otherwise, the previous year's seniors wouldn't have looked down on this spot, and it would have been her turn to occupy it.

If there really is a safe way to cross the grassland, things will be much easier for her in the future. "Of course, we need to leave ventilation openings, otherwise she'll suffer from oxygen deprivation and shock. We just need to put a wire mesh in the ventilation opening to guide the current." Moran took out the wire mesh she had made earlier to show Senior Renee.

Renee's focus, however, was on: "What is hypoxic shock? What does electric current mean? Lightning?"

Sylph and Vasita looked at her in surprise: "So that's why you opened the ventilation vents? I thought it was to let the smell of the barbecue get out!"

Moran: "..."

She then realized that the witches had no concept of oxygen, but obviously, most creatures in this world also need to breathe, otherwise there would be no drowning spell.

On second thought, it makes sense. The creatures of the Valen world are too busy researching magic to keep up. Magic solves everything, and the technology tree hasn't developed at all.

Even the technological products all came from the Sky Well, and were otherworldly specialties brought back by the Valen warriors.

Their ventilation is exactly what it sounds like—it's for dissipating odors, not for survival.

It took Moran a lot of effort to explain to them why people would faint or even die after a period of time in a confined space.

Renee, Sylph, and Vasita were shocked: "Is that so? We're only breathing one component of the air, and we'd suffocate without it?"

Moran nodded.

"Molan, would it be convenient to summarize this knowledge into a book? The clan will offer a reward." The dean's voice suddenly rang out.

They finally understood how Moran had so easily found a way to avoid the Thunder Night.

“Of course,” Moran said.

This also reminded her that when she had time, she should organize the knowledge from Blue Star's memories and hand it over to the clan council, regardless of whether she thought it would be of great use to the witches.

Sometimes, depending on the perspective, she can't find the value in it.

Spreading the civilization of Earth was something she, as a soul born from Earth, was meant to do.

If the speculation in "The Witches" that the world's consciousness originated from the souls and consciousness of intelligent beings is true, then the immortality of civilizations and the eternal life of planets will not just be empty talk.

"Senior Renee, do you know where Senior Lilith lives?" Moran asked.

“She lives in the mountains outside the border between the Green Swamp and the Yellow Sands, near the century-old Vampire Vine. If you want to find her, it’s easier to go from the Yellow Sands side,” Renee said.

Moran found it increasingly strange: "Beyond the snowfield of the green grassland are mountains and forests, beyond the isolated peak forest are also mountains and forests, beyond the boundary between the green swamp and the yellow sandy land are still mountains and forests. Could it be that beyond these four terrains, all the terrain is mountainous and forested?"

"You guessed right. Some are high mountains and forests, some are gentle mountain forests, and some are lakes and forests with abundant water resources. They are all places with lush vegetation, but the plants growing there are different due to the terrain and climate."

In the early stages of the Divine Descent Era and the Magic Era, most of the witch predecessors hid in various mountains and forests to protect their lives. Our witches' magic system is also very suitable for surviving alone in the mountains and forests. The continent of Valen has the most various kinds of mountains and forests, so wilderness survival training is mainly based in the mountains and forests.

Asking questions and seeking help from experienced forest dwellers is also part of survival training!

Renee puffed out her chest; she was now playing the role of a seasoned witch who had adapted to life in the wild.

"How about it, do you want to choose this area to build a residence?"

I've explored most of this area, and I can give you some information! I know a few other relatively livable places nearby, though of course, none are as good as this place.

Moran and the other two: "Yes!"

Whether or not I live nearby, I shouldn't pass up the information from my senior; I'll keep it as a backup option.
