I have to admit that compared to the screen and photos, when she saw the seventh king in front of her up close, Liliana couldn't help but show an expression of wonder.
The other party is indeed a rare handsome man, especially his incomprehensible and noble temperament, like a god walking in the world, which makes people unconsciously feel heartbroken.
'Simply, more noble than the domineering president and the powerful prince in the book! '
For some reason, Liliana's mind was a little wandering, and she felt that the male protagonist she had been writing (dreaming about) these days had a character prototype.
Her thoughts began to wander unconsciously, but the girl quickly tightened her mind and nervously saluted immediately.
"Knight Liliana Glenichal, pays an audience with the "King"."
In this square, the beautiful girl with silver hair knelt down on one knee and put her right hand on her chest. She was very attractive.
"Get up."
Takema Kirizhi stepped forward and helped him up personally. Under Liliana's somewhat flattered gaze, he took a half step back and said with a smile:
"You don't need to salute like this when you see me, just a simple greeting. Erica has often mentioned you, you are a very good knight."
"Yes....."
Seeing the gentle look of the other person with a lowered eyebrow and a slight smile, Liliana was stunned, and suddenly felt that those rumors about the tyrant were too false.
Erica on the other side couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed secretly when she saw this situation.
Seeing Liliana's look, Erica knew that her long-time rival would definitely fall into the scumbag's trap.
"Liliana, without further ado, let's take us to see the rumored Temple of Hera."
Volume 213: Chapter [-] Perseus, the Teaching Girl
Naples was originally a colonial city of the ancient Greeks.
The remains of the quarry where slaves worked at that time, the sewerage and water storage tanks built by later Romans, and even the remains of underground warehouses left in the Middle Ages for storing food and alcohol.
Those buildings are still near the old city street, and they exist as underground relics.
Naples Sutrania—a place known as "Underground Naples".
"...Although the underground ruins of the old city streets and other places have become tourist attractions, the ruins in this area have not been made public, but have been sealed and hidden by the witches of Naples."
Liliana, who was guiding in front, said.
Santa Lucia area.
It is a tourist attraction that faces Naples Bay and includes the port of Santa Lucia and the Egg Castle.
They entered a second-hand clothing store in that area and said hello to the lady in the store.
Even to put it mildly, it couldn't be called a beautiful shop. The fat lady who matched the store's appearance wordlessly took Liliana and Kirie Takema deep into the store. She was actually Diana's witch.
In the depths of the store——a place that is absolutely impossible for non-witches to see.
There is the entrance to the underground ruins.
On the uncovered ground, a four-cornered cave suddenly opened, with stone steps extending underground. Liliana and Takema Kirie could be seen clearly even in the dark, without even a flashlight. Went down the stairs with him.
"...I always feel like there are more elements of 'snake', and then there's 'cow'?"
Erica, who was walking behind Liliana who was leading the way, revealed the value brought by Takema Kirie during her trip and began to make assumptions based on clues.
A group of people walked along the underground ruins passage that was as long and thin as an abandoned tunnel.
If it goes back to BC, this place was originally a quarry, so it is natural to look like an abandoned tunnel, but with the large number of murals carved everywhere on the walls, this is not the case.
They are all simple and unadorned line drawings. If it is said that they were carved by humans in the Stone Age, some people may believe it.
There are many snake-like creatures painted on the walls, including large snakes with their long bodies curled up, hydras with several heads, and snakes with wings like bream bats. There are paintings on the walls. Various kinds of snakes.
Other line drawings of cows, birds, pigs and lions can also be seen.As long as anyone with some magic training can see it, they will know that these are all symbols of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. The period when these murals were carved is probably the era after the dominance of the Roman Empire.
"Because this used to be the location of the underground secret temple..."
Liliana answered in a low voice because she didn't want to disturb the tranquility of the sanctuary.
Ever since a certain patriarchal monotheistic religion became the state religion, the witches who possessed divine power in the past were regarded as "witches" and hunted down.So they fled underground, and in order to protect their wisdom, they built these underground temples for the purpose of conveying messages.These murals are all engraved with the objects of belief of witches, trying to simulate the posture of gods.
"So, the snake seems to be the patron saint of witches, why?" Takema Kirie looked at it curiously and asked.
Liliana was a little at a loss when this question was suddenly asked.
In the ancient world, shrine maidens who served the Mother Goddess of the Earth were the prototype of "witches".With the spread of Christianity in Europe, it lost its ancient faith and was suppressed and boycotted. In this process, the witches who were supposed to be sacred were persecuted and became feared and taboo beings.
Most of the ancient earth goddesses were goddesses of life and death who dominated both the earth and the underworld.Athena, Ishtar, Isis, Tiamat, Cybele, etc. are too numerous to mention. Aphrodite, who is famous as the goddess of love and beauty, was also originally a powerful earth goddess.
And the sacred animal that represents the cycle between death and life is the snake.Therefore, the snake became a symbol of the Earth Mother Goddess, the guardian of witches.
She was a little hesitant to explain her knowledge about occultism in such a place, so Liliana decided to leave the troublesome matter later without comment.
"Because it will take time to explain, please allow me to explain it later. Please wait a moment."
"It's nothing. There's no rush for this kind of thing, not to mention there are ways to learn quickly."
Takema Kirie softly comforted the other party, but the words behind her made Liliana wonder. Is there a way for the God-Slayer to learn quickly?
Before she had time to think, Takema Kirie's question interrupted her thoughts.
"So, is the place where your companions are hiding called the Temple of Hera?"
"Yes, the Gorgon Stone discovered a few months ago is the seal of the goddesses Medusa and Athena, and the Temple of Hera is the seal of the goddess Hera. There are such legends in ancient times. Hera has Goddess of curly hair and cow's eyes—each of these seals reveals the divinity of the Earth Mother."
In Greek mythology, Hera is the wife of the god-king Zeus.However, this goddess was originally the Earth Mother Goddess of the Peloponnese Peninsula.After there was invaded and conquered by the Indo-European horse-riding people who worshiped the sky god, the prototype of Zeus, Hera was forced to become a goddess subordinate to Zeus.
Soon, the three of them reached the depths of the underground temple.
Over there, there is a very conspicuous pillar standing in the center.
It was a column made of black stone similar to obsidian.Growing like trees from the floor of the underground temple that was once a quarry long ago.On the surface are carved lines that look like a coiled snake. Although it is just a poor carving, it has a magical power that attracts the attention of the viewer.About two meters high, this is what the Pillars of Hera looked like.
"We found this stone pillar in Greece and the person who worked hard to move it to this place was the Witch of Naples hundreds of years ago - our ancestor." Liliana explained.
"It happened to be the spring of this year - the time when the Gorgon Stone was discovered in Calabria, and I started to store up the magic power as if to respond to the other party. Fortunately, it was not so strong at the beginning, so we were able to weave "Escape" The barrier hides it, but... recently it has begun to lose its complete control."
"Speaking of which, as I said just now, there may be dragons coming out. What's going on?"
Liliana was about to speak, but Erica had already taken the lead. Her plump butt pushed Liliana away. She hugged Takema Kirie and explained:
"That's because, from a practical point of view, dragons are the transformation of snakes. To take it to the extreme, if you put parts of birds, lizards, horses, and lions into snakes, they will become dragons. In order for the sacred witches to be demoted as "witches" ’, the snake incarnated by the Earth Mother God also turned into a ‘dragon’ over time, and in the process, gained a ferocious form and powerful abilities.”
"I see, so the divine power gathered by the Hera Pillar will give birth to divine beasts like dragons."
Takema Kirie recalled what Salvatore did in the original work, took out the silver holy sword, looked at the Hera Pillar, which was much taller than himself, and asked seriously:
"If the pillar is cut off from the root, will the dragon come out directly?"
"Cut down the Pillar of Hera!? This is a very important sacred tool!?"
Even for the "King", this suggestion was too much. Liliana quickly spoke:
"Absolutely not! Now the Hera Pillar has stored a large amount of earth and water magic power. Although the magic association relies on the barrier to prevent the magic power from flowing out, if you use your power here, the situation will become unpredictable! The worst-case scenario is that the accumulated magic power explodes and blows up the entire Naples, so you should avoid acting rashly!"
"So, I can only wait..."
After all, Takema Kirie was not the kind of person who had no taboos like Salvatore. When he saw the silver-haired girl in front of him, he was about to cry anxiously, so he did not ruthlessly chop her into pieces and detonate the terrifying curse that could shake the entire city.
However, just waiting like this would be too random.
Takema Kirizhi stared at the Pillar of Hera in front of him. After exploring the essence of the other party for a long time, he suddenly remembered another existence that was very similar to it.
Although Takema Kirie didn't care about that thing, her own Athena was so proud that she wanted to get it back with her own hands.
Therefore, the ancient snake is still in the hands of Zhujian Wuzhi!
As Takema Kirizhi took out the "Gorgon Stone", both the stone pillar and the object in his hand were vibrating frequently at the same time, releasing ripples of spell power at the same time. The two spell powers echoed each other, and As if fused together, even the "Gorgon Stone" itself became extremely hot.
Seeing this situation, Zhujian Wuzhi's eyes immediately lit up!
Sure enough, both sides are the essence of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and both are some kind of condensed symbols of the huge earth essence.
This [Ancient Snake] can indeed stimulate the [Pillar of Hera],
The mantra in Takema Kirizhi's body is like a river flowing into the sea. Through the palm of his hand, it blends into the "Gorgon Stone" and resonates with the mantra, causing the earth essences of both parties to vibrate together.
Finally, like a volcano exploding at an accelerated speed, the huge mantra and earth essence violently rioted in the Pillar of Hera.
As the "Gorgon Stone" stopped vibrating, the opponent not only did not stop but accelerated even more. The two girls except Takema Kirie felt inexplicable fear at the same time.
The entire underground was enveloped by the extremely rich earth essence and curse, and finally...
"boom------!"
The curse power in the Pillar of Hera erupted like a volcano. Under the surprised gazes of the three people, the earth essence and the majestic curse power condensed into an extremely huge existence that frightened everyone.
Takema Kirie felt extremely joyful in his character of [Hero of Steel] as a god, and his instinct as a [Dragon Slayer] made him unable to help but draw out the Demon-Destroying Holy Sword.
The reason is that what was born from that huge essence and mantra was...
-------dragon!
.......................
.......................
At the same moment,
At the moment when the mythical [Dragon] was born, an unobservable divine light descended on the earth like fate.
Humans - especially those who think they are smart, such as magicians, call each other the "God of Disobedience".
How did these supernatural beings come into being? No one knows this fact. All they can do is talk about them, or set up some sharp assumptions about their existence, and then worry about it.
Because even the gods who are so called can't give a clear answer, and it can't be their fault.
When the "God of Disobedience" was noticed, he had already appeared on the ground and became an independent existence, unable to even recall the process of his own birth.
"...I...why was I resurrected here? Even if I ask myself, I can't get an answer. I don't know whether I should be sad or happy."
It was a blond man who responded with confusion.
He is a handsome man second to none.
Blonde hair reminiscent of a dazzling sun, eyebrows that are beautiful but not weak.Strong as a god—
The white clothes and cloak on his body are obviously not modern attire.
He looked around at his surroundings.
Although the surroundings are surrounded by the darkness of night, it does not cause any hindrance to the vision of God.
This is a mountain, and it seems to be a volcano. There are very few green areas that can be seen, probably due to the relatively high iron content, and there are some red volcanic rocks around.
- Mount Vesuvius.
Not knowing the name of the land called by humans, he continued to observe the land in front of him.
This is probably the hinterland of the volcano. If you look into the distance, you can see that the ocean and the cities where humans live are not far away. With my eyesight, which is stronger than that of a famous archer, I can easily see it.
"...Hehe, it's really interesting—"
In a corner of the city, near the sea, a powerful spell spewed out from there.
The essence of the earth and water turned into emerald-like flashes and stood there.
Like an erupting volcano—the moment I thought about it, I suddenly understood why I had appeared.
The spirit of the earth.Probably the snake of the Mother Goddess, the power that belongs to the Queen of the Earth.
And where are you standing now?
On top of the stone mountain that produced fire and iron!
So who are you?
Be a hero.He is a warrior who burns fire and holds iron in his hand to conquer the earth!
"Are the spirits of the earth and the soul of steel calling me? If so, it should be the one that appears next time."
He frees the divine power that resides within himself.The green divine power jetting up echoed his divine power, forming a new shape.Then he gathered the essence of earth, water, fire and wind to refine the huge life energy.
The basis of that giant body is the serpent.It is no less than the length of the basilisks that he defeated in the myth - the sea beasts. People who look up will probably be frightened by the huge and terrifying face and scream.Then there are bat-like wings, with huge ominous wings growing out of its back.The body then develops short limbs reminiscent of a lizard.The head is shaped like a crocodile, and its huge mouth has sharp teeth arranged like swords...
——The dragon was born here!
In the sky above the seaside city, a huge dragon spread its wings and circled leisurely.
He smiled contentedly.
