Chapter 329: The Impermanent Ruler (Part II)
The inhabitants of southern and northern Italy are completely different.
But this is only a general theory, the north is a wealthy city, and the south is relatively poor, so some people say that the people there are more rustic and warm.
Milan is a large city in northern Italy and has a reputation as the fashion capital. In addition, it is also an important transportation point in southern Europe, and is famous for sightseeing, fashion, and architecture. It is the most densely populated and industrially developed region in Europe. It is rich in cultural monuments and heritage, with a vibrant nightlife and unique cuisine, and is famous for its traditional opera.
The story takes place in the summer of a year after Japan gradually fell into the hands of the Demon King.
Meet Erica. Everyone in Brontree knows that she is the number one girl in Milan.
The ancestors were the eldest lady of the Milanese famous Brontri family.
Beautiful, noble, baptized by deep upbringing since childhood, full of wit and talent.
It's like a rose.,A gorgeous beautiful girl.γ
"Of course, this superhuman beauty of mine is an undeniable fact-"
Erica smiled gracefully.
But her smiling face definitely didn't look like a pathetic flower.
The arrogant and powerful queen of beasts, so that she can describe her inferior appearance.
"It can also be said to be the chocolate on the cake. It's just what makes Erica. Brontree was ten percent, so I flatly refused. β
"If you say that, naturally no one will refute it."
Paul. Bnuttree replied with a wry smile. He was the patriarch of the Brontree family and Erica's uncle and only blood relative.
His figure can be likened to a statue of David.
It's almost four, but it's still bouncing like a young man. The appearance of the beautiful type is full of intellect and temperament.
Because of his skills and body that have been trained to the extreme, as well as a series of exploits that rival the ancient heroes, he was named the highest knight.
The strongest knight in Italy was the king of the sword - Salbatore. Tony.
But it was Paul who held the title of the highest knight. Bnutstree.
No one will question this.
Although the uncle humbly denied it, the other party, the King of Swords, admitted this fact with a smile.
"Honestly, thank you very much. But what fool came up with me as the shining point of Milan. There is no need to publicize your beauty, it makes no sense to just look good. The beauty of the outside must be matched with the inner intelligence, so that the real Erica is. Bnutstree. β
"I knew you would refuse, so I would come in person."
They were in a cafΓ©.
The family was supposed to live together in the Brontree's house, but recently he didn't come home because of his uncle's busy schedule. I haven't seen each other in weeks.
And then suddenly. Got in touch with someone I hadn't seen for a long time, and we met here -
Too idiot, those people.
Although it is indeed beneficial to make a name for yourself, I am not afraid that someone will say that it is not worthy of the name.
But this kind of cozy attitude made Erica very uncomfortable.
"Uncle, let's talk about something more meaningful. Did you hear about the events in Sardinia? β
"Hmm. There is a high probability that the gods will not descend. Our leader Salbatore is on his way to South America. It will take a while to come back. Let's gather some information first. Let's take a look at the local situation. β
"Then please give me the task of scouting. Uncleβno, Commander of the Bronze Black Cross] Bwinner, Knight Erica is here to petition. β
The Knights Templar rampant in Europe during the Middle Ages.
He is a knight and a son of a god and a descendant of a magician who serves the demon god Bafengt. That's Erica and them.
Although there are many magic associations that inherit the Templar secret rites. But the only thing that can match them is the fierce rival in the same city, [Bronze Black Cross].
The island of Sardinia, at the southern tip of Italy, is a volatile event.
This report was delivered to the Bronze Black Cross two days ago.
It was reported by a member of the group who happened to be in the local area.
This information is not known to a few associations in mainland Italy.
That's why Erica came up with this idea and applied for it herself.
However, Uncle Paul shook his head with a stern expression.
"I'm sorry Erica, I believe in your potential, you will one day be a genius standing at the apex of association. But you don't have any experience with God, right? β
"That's right, but it's because I don't have it that I have to gain experience this time."
Erica asserted nonchalantly.
Because I have absolute confidence in my own ability, I will use this attitude.
When she was young, her uncle taught her martial arts hand-in-hand. From ancient Rome to medieval Europe, the various magic tricks inherited in the genealogy linked to the Templars.
Very few people have mastered all of this, let alone fifteen years old.
In Italy, there is only Liliana of the [Bronze Black Cross]. Kranica was the only rival of her generation whom she identified with.
"My uncle and Princess Alice, who ruled the Council of the Magi, were awarded the title of 'Red Demon'. If I am going to inherit the title of my uncle, then it is necessary to show my extraordinary ability. β
"I was twenty-five years old at the time. Ten years older than you are now, don't worry, you have more to learn. It's not too late to get involved in God's events, even years later. β
The far-sighted uncle said sincerely.
But Erica didn't accept it.
"It's too late. If I don't get merit now, the title of 'Red Demon' guarded by my uncle will be inherited by that rough Gennaro. I definitely don't want to give that man the title of the noble [Red Bronze Black Cross] commander-in-chief. β
Paul. Twenty years ago, Brontree was given the title 'Red Devil'.
This is the second title held by the knight representing the [Bronze Black Cross].
Three months ago, the uncle was ordered to return the title.
Because he can't hold the two positions of chief knight and commander-in-chief at the same time.
Other words. He retired from the title of active knight.
Originally, the title should have been returned a few years ago, but the rookie at that time was too uncompetitive for anyone to inherit the title.
Until now, although Erica is called a prodigy, her experience is still too shallow.
The merit of inheriting this title is insufficient, and the prestige is not enough.
In contrast, Gennaro. Ganz.
The Grand Knight to which the Magic Society [Bronze Black Cross] belongs.
Ganz was born in the southernmost state of Reggio Calabria on the Italian peninsula, a rough and unrestrained but kind-hearted good boy.
A hard-working genius who achieved the position of Great Knight at the age of nineteen.
After several years of accumulation of experience in various aspects, he has become the first candidate for the chief knight.
Erica's relationship with him is like fire and water.
If this continues, sooner or later the title of 'Red Demon' will be taken away.
Just when Erica was secretly anxious. Good news from Sardinia.
- Divine beasts infested.
I'm afraid that there will be a god of disobedience.
If you can make a contribution to the greatest calamity that has ever appeared in the world. The result is different.
It can definitely turn the situation around in one go.
"Erica, do you want to be another god killer?"
"I'm not that egotistical. Of course, I wouldn't mind being like Salbatole if I had the chance. But that's just a wish. I'm not as naΓ―ve as some people. In less than five years, two god-killers were born successively. Therefore, it is a matter of course that human beings can defeat the disobedient gods. But sealing or suppression, I'm still sure. β
"Really, since you said so. You're all ready for it! β
Paul asked, frowning.
Erica nodded as a matter of course.
"I knew there would be such a day, so I diligently studied the mysteries of Golgotha's words and callings. If I could, I would be able to show that now. β
"The holy spear of sighs and prayers. It's learned at this age, it's a scary little ghost. β
The uncle, who sighed as he spoke, suddenly changed his expression.
"Alright, Erica. It is the knight's task to travel to dangerous places and show courage and might. At one point, the words that came out of my mouth were definitely going to complete this challenge, understand? β
"Yes. Elektra. Bonetree, go to Sardinia now, and investigate the local 'god of disobedience'. I will seal this godhead as much as possible, so that the island can be restored to peace, and you will wait for good news. β
Facing the niece who replied respectfully, the uncle shook his head gently.
"It seems that being born in this peaceful era is too difficult for you, and I really hope that you can distinguish the difference between courage and resourcelessness in the future. I hope you have friends and companions and go to the royal road of knighthood. I hope you can make this trip a success and I hope you can put me at ease. β
"Ahra, uncle. You think I'm Hannibal? β
Erica smiled.
Once upon a time, the famous general of Carthage who broke the Roman Republic and entered Italy.
The supreme tactician of antiquity, before the decisive battle, was praised by the famous Roman general Scipio: "It is too difficult for you to be born in this peaceful age." β
In the Battle of Zama that followed that session, the Rare Wise General was finally defeated.
"I think I'm more like Scipio the Victor than the defeated Hannibalβ"
"I'll talk about that until the next time we meet. I'm leaving. Pray that you will survive the day when we will meet you again. β
Uncle Paul got up from his seat and left in front of Erica.
*****************
The southern tip of Italy, a resort island floating on the Mediterranean Sea.
This is Sardinia. The island is about the same size as Shikoku and has a population of about 10,000 people. And most of them are concentrated in Cagliari, the largest city on the island.
Surrounded by crystal clear water on all sides, the surrounding nature is beautiful.
The island's biggest industry is tourism, and in the summer, it attracts many tourists who want to spend their holidays in Europe. In particular, the emerald coast in the northeast is famous as a resort for the noble.
"After showing the majesty of the king and completely dismissing the arrogance of those who resisted. I thought I could make a drastic move to renovate the 'territory', but I ended up running to Italy for a vacation without saying a word, and there should be a limit to my whims! β
"Is this your attitude towards your master?"
"As long as you can come back, don't say you kneel down and apologize, even if I am asked to apologize with death."
Only on the sandy beach where the sea breeze blows, seagulls fly by from time to time in the sky.
In front of this beautiful landscape painting, the black-haired young man showed an expression that he couldn't stand it.
"Okay, everyone has bowed down to Chen Chen. The rebel forces under the banner of 'expelling the demon king who is not from your country' were also defeated by you a few months ago, and now the entire Japanese spell world is in turmoil, for fear of being targeted by the brutal demon king. Let's be honest. That's not a good thing for me. In China, there is an idiom called 'grace and power', and the seeds of fear have almost been sown, and the next step is to put things in order and select talented people from various forces. β
"What are you going to do?"
"Be gracious. Win people's hearts. β
"That's pretty straightforward. It's easy to see through. β
"It's all about being straightforward. I've dominated the Japanese jujutsu world, and I'm going to do something that might anger some ethnic elements soon, so I'll have to be well prepared. If a hundred people have eighty people who revere me. Then the rest of the outlaws are nothing at all. Whether it's a magician, a witch, a monk, or even a young master or eldest lady of a family who has no talent, I will gather for me, and I will adopt centralized rule and establish the Japan Magic Association, and those who are unwilling to cooperate will be disposed of, and those who are willing to cooperate will be rewarded. β
"It's a really concise plan."
"That's the benefit of power."
"I understand, I'll start preparing right away."
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
A year ago, he had become a godslayer.
In less than a month, the feat of dominating Japan was achieved.
It sounds mysterious, incredible. In fact, it's not complicated to say, the status of the four great families in the spell world is like that of the uncrowned king, even they are all subservient to Ling Yi, even if there are some resistance forces, there is no need to worry.
Even the Japanese Cabinet is no exception.
The Cabinet is the highest administrative body and consists of the Prime Minister and other ministers of state.
The cabinet, which was already hiding filth and all kinds of dark insiders, is much cleaner now.
Just kidding, who would dare to put his hand on the territory of the Demon King of the Godslayer.
In addition, since most of the domestic chaebols secretly have an entangled relationship with the Magic Society, Ling Yi relied on his influence in the spell world to achieve absolute domination on both sides of Japan, both inside and outside, which was completely natural, and there was no obstacle at all.
Having said that, none of those magic associations, family chaebols, politicians, etc., can say whether they are sincerely surrendering to Ling Yi.
Therefore, the rectification plan is urgent.
But this kind of thing can be left to Kusla to clean up, because the four families will definitely not dare to betray Ling Yi, and with their assistance, I believe that they will soon be able to catch a lot of ill-intentioned guys. Then, the Orthodox Compilation Committee was brought to the forefront, and a supreme organ was established on top of it as a good foundation.
The time to completely dominate Japan is just around the corner.
"Well, then, it's time for me to get down to business."
Ling Yi muttered to himself, and couldn't help but recall that familiar aura.
There is no doubt that it is the divine power of Prometheus.
He had a hunch that as long as he could regain that divine power, his power would become more and more mature.
The true power of impermanence.
A magical means of negating the existence of things in the form of zΓ i.
But it can only be used on 'his own possessions', so this general ** restriction, he is quite distressed.
It's the same when Asuka Naga is given.
negates the existence of the possibility that she 'can't see'.
This gave her the opportunity to learn spiritual vision.
In this way, it can be concluded that Asuna is his own property.
However, Ling Yi couldn't protect Hui Na, and he couldn't use his power to do anything to her.
It's a concubine but it's not a possessions, and this power is sometimes too difficult to understand.
Ling Yi sensed the divine power of Prometheus two days ago, as if he was in Genjin in the Wenjing District.
He deliberately sent someone to investigate and found the person who held the divine power of Prometheus.
The other party is an old man, who is also a folklore scholar and a celebrity in field research. He specializes in the study of traditional art and culture in various places, and always goes to various settlements to conduct investigations.
Ling Yi cared more about the true face of the divine power, disguised himself as a student of the old man's past, and then came to visit.
A folklorist named Ichiro Kusanagi used to be a professor at a certain university.
Former students came to visit, and he was very welcome.
In between the conversations, I couldn't help but bring up some adventures. Although it always gives people an incredible sense of 'this is a novel' when it comes out of his mouth, he himself speaks eloquently and vividly.
Later, when talking about his family, he said that his grandson was going abroad soon.
In his place, he returned an old object to an old friend who lived in Sardinia
