Chapter 330: The Impermanent Ruler (II)
Strictly speaking, this is not the first time Ling Yi has come to Italy.
When it comes to Italy, the classical and magnificent Rome, Milan at the forefront of the times, Florence in the Renaissance, Sicily, and Naples are all well-known tourist destinations.
Sardinia, as well as the surrounding islands, make up the Autonomous State of Sardinia.
Cagliari, the capital, is a port located in the south of the island. The city was originally built by the Phoenicians in the eighth century BC.
In Europe, where there are more ancient capitals than Japan, there are still very few long-standing old towns.
Kusla's words must be fine.
The day after using this excuse to convince the grand knight, Ling Yi arrived in the capital of Sardinia by plane. Cagliari.
"You're going to Sardinia on an errand? It so happened that my grandson Godo was planning to visit an old friend for me. If you don't mind a little abruptly, let's go along. In this way, my elderly family can also feel a little more at ease. β
Faced with the request of Ichiro Kusanagi, a folklorist with a unique personality.
Ling Yi, who temporarily regarded himself as a student, naturally had no reason to refuse.
At the end of the day, he was aiming for the slate.
"The Secret of Prometheus" - a rare book of demons that has been handed down from the gods to the present day.
Contains the divine power of Prometheus, the ancient sage of fire stealer and god of deception.
When he was in the Kusanagi family, Ling Yi saw through the secret of the slate at a glance.
Still, he didn't intend to take it by force. Because Ichiro Kusanagi claims that the owner of this slate is a man named Lukurazia. Zola's female old friend.
Ling Yi also knew that the great magician, known as the 'Witch of Sardinia', was called by this name.
Of course. It's one thing for Ichiro Kusanagi to be knowledgeable, but magic has always been a secret of another world, and ordinary people may not be able to access this mystery in their lifetime.
Although you have made up your mind to get your hands on Prometheus Secrets, you don't have to rush it.
Rather than taking it directly without saying a word, Ling Yi was more inclined to ask for it in person.
If the owner of the slate was Ichiro Kusanagi, he might have gotten his hands on it a long time ago.
Money? Or something else?
He is actually a businessman in his bones, and he may not be able to say.
"Mr. Phoenix is obviously here to run errands in Sardinia but doesn't know how to go, I suddenly think that grandpa should be worried about you."
The boy who walked over with the map was Ichiro Kusanagi's grandson, Kusanagi Godo.
Judging from the appearance alone, with bright facial features and a height of 1.8 meters, no one will believe it if he is fifteen years old.
"Instead of complaining, try to worry about the future."
"Prospects?"
"Someone once said. Danger lurks all around us. You can't do it without being 100 per cent vigilant all the time. β
Pretending to be a posture and pretending to be deep Ling Yi is easy to do.
"Even if Mr. Phoenix Yuan says so, is it dangerous?"
Kusanagi Godo sighed as he propped his forehead and nodded in agreement.
"It's really dangerous, if we continue like this, we'll have to find a hotel to stay in for a while."
"Wait. After asking for a long time, did you get nothing? β
It was as if the image of the philosopher collapsed in an instant. Ling Yi's eyes widened as if shocked.
"I don't know Italian. Although everyone was very welcoming, unfortunately I was not very proficient in sign language, so I could only guess a rough idea. That being said. The destination is Olena, a remote town in the interior, and few people know the specific route. β
It was almost like saying, 'How could this be', Ling Yi frowned and was silent.
Seeing that he finally began to think seriously about countermeasures, Kusanagi Godo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The man in front of him, who had no sense of the season, was wearing a cheap black shirt on a hot sunny day, claimed to be the fierce and true of the Phoenix Academy, and was the student that his grandfather once taught. But he has graduated for several years, and he looks very young when he goes to work, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a recent high school graduate, of course, high school students will not have the mature temperament he has. But on the other hand, this man may really have the spirit of a high school student, because he will say something philosophical from time to time.
Like what:
"Review? Meaningless behavior, too ignorant. At the end of the day, exams are all about testing students' abilities, so there's nothing wrong with using clever cheating techniques to get good grades. β
"It is an incredible thing for human beings to have wisdom, and to be able to invent a car that does not require them to walk is a crystallization of wisdom beyond ancient and modern times!"
"I'm right, those guys must be spying on me, otherwise how would they know my name? Hmph, low-level flaws, just let me pretend I don't know and make them happy. β
It's just that he accidentally said his name, and then when the flight attendant asked if he needed a drink, the honorific brought an extra 'Phoenix Temple', which can be regarded as professionalism.
But when it came to him, it almost caused a nonsensical conflict.
Grandpa Fei's students have the idea of being victimized, and Kusanagi Godo occasionally has it.
But except for that occasion, he did not express any strong uneasiness, but wandered around with ease, without the slightest restraint or discomfort of setting foot in a strange country.
Including the name of the Phoenix Courtyard Fierce Truth.
The young man with a strange aura muttered for a while, just as Kusanagi Godo thought, 'Is there finally a way?' In anticipation of this, he said, as if determined:
"Call the police!"
Honestly, it's a viable approach. No matter what country you are in, it is not uncommon to call the police because you get lost.
But
"Anyway, you're a man with something important! It stands to reason that there should be a better way, such as having an acquaintance to entertain him at his house, or preparing a car, introducing a place to stay, etc. After all, what exactly is your 'important business'? β
After the fierce complaining, Kusanagi Godo had some doubts.
"An In-Depth Survey of the Habitat of Races with Alternative Intelligence."
Although Ling Yi replied seriously.
But what is this nonsense?
"Please speak in a way that a normal person can understand."
"It turns out that the nursing hall is a secondary school disease?"
"I don't want to be told about it!"
Wait a minute. Secondary 2 disease?
I see, I feel inexplicably familiar, as if I have experienced a sense of immediacy.
Kusanagi thought silently.
"Anyway, what did Mr. Phoenix Yuan do abroad?"
"You're not welcome to ask. Since you are so sincere in your inquiry, I have no reason to be stingy. To be honest, I'm here to travel, and by the way, I can relieve the pressure of work, and there are also some things I am interested in. β
"Is it really a tour!?"
However, Kusanagi always felt that his smile was a little subtle.
Before he could think about it, a mutation had happened.
The square where the Tama Church is located.
From here, you can see the port of Cagliari at a glance.
Looking from afar. The beautiful emerald sea is endless. Such a beautiful sea. You can't see it in Tokyo.
The Great Chapel stands there.
A place of worship to pay homage to the Holy One, a place of prayer.
Next to the building, which is full of silence and piety, a giant beast is standing. It is tens of meters high, and it is as huge as the Tama church. Black boar.
The burly and strong body is about forty or fifty meters tall.
Very strong limbs. Very scary teeth.
Compared to the beast in the eyes of ordinary people. It's completely out of the ordinary.
No matter how angry the pig is, it will not be as fierce as it is, as vicious as it. Such ferocity. It feels like you're seeing a god! I've never encountered something so dreading!
Compared to this stone sanctuary, this wild boar is the truly sacred being.
The god of wrath, the god of destruction, the god of darkness.
Its roar silenced the world.
It transcends the scope of sound waves, penetrates deeper into people's hearts, and burns the seeds of fear in people's hearts like a divine sound.
"Wild boar? Is there such a big one? β
Kusanagi's mouth was wide open.
"I remember cases of genetic variants exposed in Russia."
"No, no, no, this is clearly beyond the limits of genetic mutations. Anyway, wasn't it okay just now? When did that big guy come out? β
Although Ling Yi calmly made an analysis, Kusanagi Godo looked unacceptable.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted:
"Two stupid guys over there, don't get out of here now! Want to die? β
The two reflexively followed the voice.
Rightfully attracted to the person who spoke.
By European benchmarks, height is not very high. But it's just over 1.6 meters. But how to describe this sense of majesty? Standing there proudly like a queen.
I seem to be accustomed to the incredible scene in front of me.
It looks like waist-length hair made of pure gold, and it is a beautiful appearance made of slenderness. More upright than any doll.,More domineering than any model and actor.,Full of nobility and confidence.,Never forget a face of jΓ¬.γ
Bright red shirt, and black leather pants. It's so beautiful, but the clothes are very ordinary, the taste is very good, and it looks very chic. The peerless beauty and figure may also be related to this matching costume.
But now is not the time to pay attention to that.
This girl is very aware of this, although she is coming for the divine tool that is suspected of being the Demon Dao Book, but in the case of the appearance of the divine beast, as a knight, she naturally takes the lives of the people as the first priority.
"Who are you?"
Whatever it is, it's all about asking.
But Ling Yi didn't say a word, and looked at the figure of the girl who hadn't been seen for a long time.
- I did grow up.
The chest is not as bad as it was back then.
The most important thing is that her temperament seems to have faded away from impurities and has been qualitatively sublimated.
has grown from a wealthy little princess to a heroic female warrior.
In contrast, Asukina will only look like a knight when she draws her sword.
Usually, it is more appropriate to describe it as a caring and virtuous girlfriend.
"Now is not the time to talk about such things, if you want to be trampled to pieces by the beasts, just stay here, I hope you will take my advice to you, because you don't seem to be very witty."
Mythical beasts?
A word that makes people care.
But the girl walked away quickly, her target was the raging beast.
As for the guy who holds the Divine Demon Dao Book, it doesn't hurt to deal with it later, in short, he can't let such a dangerous thing fall into the hands of ordinary people.
No, it is not yet possible to assert the identity of ordinary people.
Maybe it has something to do with the appearance of the mythical beast.
The girl's thoughts were spinning and she got into a red car on the side of the road.
It was her maid Ariana who drove the car.
"Miss Erica, where are you going?"
"It's still in the harbor, so let's go south of Via Roma first."
Not surprisingly, the beast was planning to rush directly into the city from the port.
Take Knight Erica. The name of Brontree.
- It has to be stopped.
*****************
The boar, which can be proud of his compatriots even in the age of mythology, is essentially one of the incarnations of a god.
When this conclusion was reached, Ling Yiren was still in Japan.
Just for "The Secret of Prometheus", you don't have to go to Italy in person, you just need someone to help with a word, and the witch will take the initiative to offer it.
After all, anyone who knows the goods knows what this thing means to the demon king who killed Prometheus.
What really piqued Ling Yi's interest was a recent incident that was rumored to be in the uproar.
- Mythical beasts have been sighted on several islands in western Italy.
This is information that cannot be falsified.
Because the existence of mythical beasts is like a disaster, and the ravaged city is the best proof of this.
Most of the mythical beasts are beasts that are protected by the gods, or the guardian gods who are believed to appear in the form of beasts, and so on
But the latter is no longer strictly speaking, a divine beast, but a manifestation of a god.
Or rather, an incarnation.
Whether it's an incarnation or a divine beast.
Their appearance is no accident.
Ling Yi faintly felt a strange feeling of strength filling his whole body, which made people anxious and eager to vent it.
Although it is a divine beast that makes ordinary magicians stare dryly and gives the great knight a headache, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the god killers, at best, it is just a Cheng dΓΉ who can support it for a while longer.
"So, take a good look, last descendant of the Templars."
In the opposite direction of the wild boar infest, on the roof of a building that is not tall or conspicuous.
A sofa is enough.
Ling Yi leaned on the back of the sofa, his bipod was on the guardrail, if there was another bucket of popcorn, he would really be enjoying an American blockbuster.
Kusanagi Godo or something didn't know where to go for a long time.
Anyway, with the aura of the divine power of "The Secret of Prometheus", it is not difficult to find him.
No way, it's a great moment.
Fighting against the divine beast alone, there is no doubt that he must have the level above the great knight.
It is said that Paul. Brontree can overturn a divine beast in one go, and he also has the brilliant feat of not falling behind in the face of multiple divine beasts.
Although Kusla's overall strength is not as good as Paul's, when it comes to fighting against divine beasts, he is undoubtedly an expert.
So, what about Erica?
As the 'High Knight' Paul. How can Brontree's niece do it?
"It's boring to lose too quickly."
This is Ling Yi's personal opinion.
To be honest, he didn't think about what would happen to the city and its people after Erica's defeat, and he didn't care about it.
Cold-blooded and hot-blooded.
That's who he is.
The seventh god-killer in the latest records of the Council of the Magi as the 'Ruler of Impermanence'.
