Chapter 375: Two Witches Shaped Like Fire and Water
When it comes to Gorgon, the first thing that comes to mind is the well-known three Gorgonne sisters in Greece, whose names are Sisina, Eury Ellie, and Medusa. Of the three Gorgons sisters, only Medusa is mortal, and her sisters Essina and Yuri Ellie are demons. It is said that Medusa was once a beautiful maiden who was robbed of all her beauty by the goddess of wisdom for boasting that she was prettier than Athena, leaving her with only an ugly monster body.
Gorgon's blood, though poisonous, possesses special powers that have given Erictronias the ability to bring the dead back to life. Perseus killed the sea monster Setus with the severed head of Medusa, and when he returned, he gave the head to Athena, who fixed it in the center of her shield and breastplate. The heads of the three Gorgons were often used by artists on symbolic coats of arms, architectural ornaments, and even on Athenian coins, as well as on soldiers' shields.
Just half a year ago, a historical artifact was unearthed in North Africa.
After investigation, it was known that its name was the Stone of Gorgon.
It contains a divine power that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and a divine tool with genuine value.
As far as Erica knew, the obsidian medal-like artifact was like a container filled with water at first, and although it gave people a very heavy sense of pressure, the sealing process was incredibly smooth.
Until last week, the sealed divine tool seemed to resonate with something, and the overflowing divine power was like boiling water, which ordinary magicians could not approach, and finally invited several professional first-class magicians and sacrifices who were good at praying to the gods, and finally put a lot of effort into suppressing this momentum.
But. It's just a momentary move.
It won't be long before the owner of the artifact will come to the door.
It's a pity that the King of Swords, who has high hopes for the Italian association forces, does not know where to go, although the Marquis of Vauban intends to intervene, and the commander of the [Bronze Black Cross] also agrees with this matter, but what kind of 'king' the Marquis of Vauban is, they all know it.
Winning or losing is not the outcome they want to see.
If you win, it means that the old-timer has one more strong hole card.
Henceforth Salbatore. If Tony tries to challenge his authority again, he will most likely be defeated.
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. If the owner has no deterrent at all. So what is the 'dog' to do?
The King of Swords is not like the Lord of Men. This has become the consensus of the magic world, but without him, no matter how powerful the Italian magic association is, will it still be arrogant in front of the national power with a 'king'? The taller you stand. The more you can see the situation. They can't do this stupid thing like an egg touching a stone.
Of course. Surrender is also a good option.
Can it be compared to the status of the past?
Once most people have tasted the benefits, they can't help but indulge in them. Let the rich be willing to give up their wealth, and let the superior take the initiative to give up power. It's a dream.
So, they were in a hurry.
But at this moment, the 'king' of the Far East, the best friend of his own alliance leader, appeared.
This is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.
As for the duel? It can only be said that it is a helpless move. In addition, it is not so much a good realization of failure, but rather a failure!
In fact, Erica, who had seen Ling Yi's strength, had no intention of winning, her thoughts were very simple, just like wanting those guys to polish their eyes and take a good look at the methods of the new Demon King. In addition, she also wanted to see Ling Yi's stunned expression, anyone who was tricked would be angry, and she was naturally no exception.
Although Erica is not a pedantic knight, she thinks she knows Ling Yi's strength better than anyone else.
It was this strength that made her deeply understand that intrigue and intrigue would not work.
In this case, the only way to win is on the battlefield.
Can't beat that's for sure.
But for her, as long as Ling Yi can be calm and calm, no matter what happens, no matter what happens, at most the face with raised eyebrows showing a look of surprise, that is victory!
He was tricked because he was slighted, and since that was the case, let him pay for his contempt at the beginning.
Erica specially invited her former teacher for this purpose, the experienced old knight was her respected senior, and with the tacit cooperation between the two of them, she should be able to cause some trouble to Ling Yi.
That's what she thought.
outcome
"Although the fight was very enjoyable, it completely went against the original intention."
Erica is a little listless in a rare way.
The place where she is currently located is a luxury hotel carefully booked by the [Female Wolf] Commander for the king who has come from afar.
But--I wrapped up the whole floor, and I was really sorry for the old man.
If you think about it, that king is not as loose as Salbato Leiqing. On the contrary, although he did not know his thoughts, the king was extremely powerful in the Far East, and both the ostensible government and the secret magic forces were under his control.
The fact that the feat of purging was accomplished so easily in one year is due to the Compilation Committee of the Official History.
They are a secret organization that rules all of Japan, a sorcerer, a psychic power, and a manipulator of news. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the National Diet Library, and others from the Imperial Household Agency, the Shrine Agency, and the Metropolitan Police Department are also recruited. Like shrine maidens and clergy who possess spell powers, they have an obligation to assist them.
When she first learned about this, Erica sighed, this is the real king.
Perhaps her views are biased.
However, it is a matter of course that the powerful stand on a high place and are respected.
It is not a religious obedience, but a duty of loyalty to the people under his command.
-- This is the biggest difference between magicians and modern people.
Getting back to the point, Erica rarely got up early, in order to welcome Ling Yi to the [Female Wolf] headquarters. Although it was promised that someone would bring things to the door, the old fellow of the [female wolf] sent away the hot potato in celebration and held a banquet to invite many Italian association leaders to come.
Of course, it would be an exaggeration to celebrate Rome's freedom from the baptism of the gods.
However, Ling Yi's arrival is the perfect reason.
After the title of "Ruler of Impermanence" spread all over the world, he killed the two pillar gods, and his own strength was unprecedentedly improved.
Now, the king who was in the limelight and a loyal ally of Italy had arrived in Rome.
Whether out of respect for its prowess, or as a welcome to its allies.
Hosting a grand banquet is essential.
"Forget it, while helping Ling Yi become famous, he can also convey the message of 'the new Demon King protects us' to the Marquis of Vauban . Now, they should be able to settle down a bit. Erica thought boredly when she suddenly noticed a figure in front of her, and almost at the same time, the other party also sensed someone approaching, and their eyes collided.
Erica was stunned for a moment, and then greeted with a smile: "Ah, Lily, were you invited by that old man?" It's too much to say hello to me beforehand. ”
"Please don't use this kind of affectionate term for me that is too intimate. Moreover, the encounter here is not accidental, but it should be said that it is inevitable. I've heard that you've been pestering the Seventh King, but it's true, Erica. Where did Brontree's reserve go? ”
She has a silver-brown ponytail hairstyle and a beautiful face that is as hard as a Western doll. Moreover, there is a beautiful fairy-like slender body.
It doesn't match the cute face, and the tough way of speaking.
This is also due to Liliana's character, and Erica accepts it with a smile.
With a flawless appearance and intellectuality, the silver-haired childhood friend lacks the ambition to become a noblewoman or something. She will be a good knight, a good wife, and a good mother, but she will never be the flower of the court like the mistress of the salon.
"Well, as you said, Lily."
"Hmph, I just finished talking but still didn't care about the intimacy, and I actually admitted it shamelessly!"
Ignoring the glare of the silver-haired girl, Erica smiled and asked:
"Lily, why are you here? It's the [female wolf] commander who sent out the invitation, and although it's a bit of a confused girl's nature, it's not like you're in the wrong place. ”
"Who do you say is a confused girl!"
"Don't digress, Lily."
Liliana froze when she heard this, and felt the seriousness of Erica's words, she suppressed her anger and replied with a blank face:
"I don't have anything to do with you anywhere, besides, I didn't say I was invited."
"I see, is it the Marquis's order?"
"Don't take it upon yourself to explain it for me!"
"Really, Lily is just shy, and if Lily comes in some other name, even with malice, then I can't sit idly by."
"What do you want to do?"
In the face of Erica's rhetoric, Liliana asked vigilantly.
"Don't worry about it, just do what needs to be done."
Erica waved her hand and said disapprerovingly.
But Liliana can't let go, and since they got acquainted, she has been teased by Erica countless times.
No matter how vigilant and absorbing the lessons, this blonde lioness will always have more options. Sometimes, Liliana can't help but wonder, could it be that this woman is her natural enemy?
If so, you can't run away from it, but what if you can't do anything?
In the end, she found a reason for herself to 'out of sight is clean' and drew a line with Erica to stop interacting.
Erica is right.
It's been a long time since they've seen each other.
How many years ago was the last time you saw each other?
Liliana doesn't remember anymore, she doesn't want to remember about Erica, it's a humiliating past! There is no need to take it to heart, and even if there is, it is the feeling of humiliation.
As a knight, you should take this as a warning and always spur yourself.
But now Erica's words reminded her of a lot of trembling memories.
"Gollum"
Liliana subconsciously swallowed her saliva, forced a calm turn of her head, and put on a dead face that no one could approach, and made up her mind not to pay attention to her.
Just then, the door opened. (To be continued......)
