Chapter 16: The God with the Stick and the Golden Sword God

The scenery you see from the train is mostly endless grasslands and boundless wilderness. Along the way, I saw several flocks of sheep grazing on such a large land, as well as shepherds.

Sheep herding is one of the main industries in Sardinia.

In these scenes, you can see the ancient pagoda called Nuragai, which was built of stones. (Note: Nuragai is a defensive conical tower built of large salty dry stone built by the early inhabitants of the area in prehistoric times, the Nuragay.) Some of the nuragai had enclosures, with huge walls connected to smaller towers. The Barummini Nuragai Complex in the province of Cagliari on the island of Sardini is the best-preserved example of Nuragai architecture, and in 1997 the UNESCO World Heritage Committee decided to designate the entire village of Nuragay as a World Heritage Site. Because the architecture of Nuragai in this area represents the ability to use materials and techniques on the prehistoric island in new and amazing ways, as well as the extraordinary ability of humans to adapt to the economic and environmental conditions of the time. The Nuragai stone complex here is also the largest in Sardinia. There are still many mysteries about its origins, and like its builders, it is one of the most mysterious civilizations in history. )

This is the remains of a fortress built by the locals in prehistoric times before the arrival of the Phoenicians. It is now an important tourist resource.

On the way, I changed trains to the city of Nuoro.

This is the capital of Nuoro County, and Olena is a small town on its outskirts.

The departure from Cagliari station is just after noon. The city of Nuoro was arrived after three hours. Then after dozens of minutes of shaking of the bus, we finally arrived in Olena.

Around six o'clock in the afternoon, it was a little late if it was dusk.

Holding a stone slab in his hand, a boy named Kusanagi Godo tries to find his grandfather's friend, named Lukurazia. Zola's woman's home.

Olena is a beautiful town.

There is a refreshing green forest nearby, and there is also beautiful spring water. With a population of less than 10,000 people, it is a small and well-equipped town.

"With such a small town, Lucurazia's home doesn't have to be very hard to find, right? It's just a little unsettling that I didn't make an appointment—"

Kusanagi Godo spreads out a map of the town. Start looking for a place close to the place where your grandfather said you lived.

Ask pedestrians on the road.

Tell the other person where to go in clumsy English, then pull out a map and ask the person how to get there.

Because of the language barrier, it is impossible to convey the meaning in detail.

Even so, the general direction was mastered, and then it was like there. If you don't know the road, just ask pedestrians for directions in the same way.

I repeated this four times, and it was the fifth time that it took me nearly twenty minutes to reach my destination.

Lukurazia. Zola's home is near the forest next to the town.

A stone house with a small courtyard. Very old atmosphere, which emanates from the whole house. And there are no other houses nearby. It has a very bleak feel.

The House of the Witches. Although it is a hut, it is very similar to the word.

Looking into the courtyard, it was overgrown with weeds. I don't know if Lu Dao has no interest in gardening, or is too lazy to tidy up.

All in all, it was for this to come to Sardinia from afar.

He stepped forward and pressed the doorbell button towards the entrance.

- Wait a minute. However, there was no reaction at all.

"No, in that case, just wait until she comes back—huh?"

Kusanagi's eyes widened suddenly.

With a heavy sound, the door opened automatically.

Conscientious. Carefully gazing around, but there was no one in front of or behind the open door. It doesn't look like an automatic door, it's just an old wooden door. For what?

With a little doubt, he stepped out and entered the house. And then. There is a black cat waiting at the entrance.

Meow~~~~ I don't want to pay attention to other people's cries.

The cat with a beautiful fur and a slender body doesn't look cute at all.

The black cat suddenly walked towards the depths of the house. On the way, he stopped and stretched out his paw and shook it, as if calling someone, and then walked on again.

Are you telling me to go in?

Since coming here. Too many strange things have happened, and Kusanagi Godo has surprisingly adapted to it. He swallowed and plucked up the courage to follow.

They were taken to a room that resembled a dormitory.

Medicines – no. It smells of herbs, and the room is very messy. On one of the beds inside, there was a woman sitting up with only her upper body up.

The cat just now was in a clump in the corner of the room, yawning boredly.

"Welcome to my home, blood relatives of my old friend. Whose blood you are, you can understand at a glance. You must be the grandson of Ichiro Kusanagi. I'm Lucurazia. Zola. ”

Suddenly, the woman in the bed talks to herself in perfect Japanese.

Kusanagi Godo jumped.

In front of me is a beautiful woman wearing underwear and greeting guests in a position lying on the bed. The vast eyes reveal an incredible charm, and the long flaxen hair is also very beautiful.

And it's Miao Ling, about a little over 20 years old.

Even if you deliberately dress yourself up as a young man, you will be thirty years old at most, which is completely out of line with the calculation. If it's a generation that has had a lot of things to do with my grandfather, I think it's already an old mother-in-law.

"Oh, boy. Am you hooked? Hehehe, this kind of look seems to be too stimulating for young people. There's been some trouble lately, so you can't get out of bed and you're happy, right? Men are probably like that. ”

Kusanagi Godo swallowed again, and although it was rude to know that it was rude, his eyes were still firmly attracted to the grandfather's friend in front of him.

She nodded at Kusanagi's silent confirmation, "Ahh You're Kusanagi Godo, aren't you? Ichiro has already told me the reason for the incident and the matter of letting his grandson come in the mail, so I've been waiting for you. ”

Although he roughly understood in his heart that the beautiful woman in front of him was his grandfather's friend, Kusanagi Godo still felt that his common sense had collapsed after hearing the other party's words, and his brain stopped thinking for a while.

"It's all now, what else do you have to be surprised about. Keeping your body young is a privilege reserved only for witches whose magic power has reached the purest realm! Compared to this, I think the 'God of Disobedience' is more impactful. ”

"I understand the witch or something, but the 'god of disobedience'"

"Yo, you've met the gods of this island. What a boy with bad luck! ”

"Why don't I know about the gods or something?"

"But the remnants of your aura tell me that you had close contact with the gods. And this kind of pure divine power can't be wrong, only a powerful main god can have. ”

"Could it be him?" Kusanagi Godo couldn't help but think of the man with black hair and black eyes, and his appearance was more shocking than any beauty.

"Looks like you've got it in mind."

Kusanagi's expression made the witch Lukurazia smile slightly.

Kusanagi, who had finally regained his composure, took out the slate from his bag. "I don't know if the boy is a god or not, but in short, I'm going to give this item that my grandfather had ordered to send - Lucurazia to Japan. Please take it! ”

A childish stone tablet carved with a man bound in chains.

After glancing at it, Lucurazia said, "'Prometheus Secrets', this is it." Something I discovered a long time ago from the depths of the Caucasus Mountains. It's something to be missed. ”

However, Lucurazia did not say the phrase that this slate was just a fake, because she felt another wave of divine power on this extremely realistic slate. I really don't know how many gods of disobedience the grandson of my old friend of Lu Dao has encountered, it is a disaster for ordinary people to meet one, he actually met one after another, and he was unharmed, which can be described as extremely lucky!

It's just that no matter how lucky you are, you won't be safe forever.

Thinking of this, Lukurazia waved her hand and motioned for Kusanagi Godo to put down the slate, "Okay boy." Now that you've done your job, it's up to you to go sightseeing in Italy or just go back. As you can see, I can't even move in my current state. It will be impossible to entertain you. ”

"There's no need to entertain anything, it's just this time."

Seeing that it was completely dark outside, Kusanagi Godo scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Hehe, I can't entertain you, though. But before you want to drive out the children and grandchildren of your friends who you haven't seen for many years, just treat this place as if it is your own home, and you can choose the room yourself. Hawkers~ If you want to spend a good night with me, you can also do it. Juvenile! ”

"No, no!" Turning his head with difficulty, Kusanagi Godo blushed and didn't dare to look at this grandfather friend who was obviously old and full of temptation, "I'll just borrow it for a night, and I'll go back tomorrow, there are still some things waiting for me to deal with at home!" ”

After saying that, Kusanagi Godo left in a panic.

Looking at the back of Kusanagi Godo leaving, Lukurazia smiled softly, and then sighed, if the slate-Prometheus cheats hadn't been dropped by the unknown god, maybe he would have been able to achieve great things, but now

Three days earlier, Lucurazia had seen the god Mekar manifest in the form of a large man with a club. (Note: Mecal, the heroic god of Canaanite mythology, was worshipped as an urban god in the Phoenician port city of Tyre.) It is equivalent to Hercules and Meliquertus, the patron saint of navigators. )

In the vicinity of the Sassari columns, there was also a concentration of strange divine power, so he went there to observe the situation.

There she saw the battle of the two pillar gods. One pillar is a mecal, and the other is a warrior's figure, a god holding a golden sword.

The fierce battle between these two gods ended up with both defeats.

Mecal used a club, and the other god used a golden sword to deliver the last blow to the opponent. Both sides were badly wounded, Mecal turned into lightning and flew away, and the god of the golden sword was shattered.

The body of the god of the sword split into pieces, and each of them took on a new form. One was a pig, the other was a phoenix, and there were horses and goats and so on, and these doppelgangers immediately flew away to the sea and the sky.

In other words, the huge beasts that appear in various parts of the island are all clones born from the god who wields the golden sword.

In order to defend yourself on that battlefield, it is necessary to use magic that transcends your own boundaries. Thanks to it, the mana is now empty. It takes about three months to fully recover, and for the time being, you can't use large spells, or even move your body.

Thinking of this, Lucurazia couldn't help but sigh.

Neither Mecal nor the God of Swords could recover in such a short period of time.

However, the two gods who have recovered will definitely fight again to separate the winners. Whether or not this island can survive will be left to fate!

So, for the sake of Kusanagi's protection, it was necessary to let him leave here before the two disobedient gods fought.

Originally, the battle between the two disobedient gods was troublesome enough, and now that other strange gods have joined, Sardinia is really troubled.

Yang Xi's dependents are now all strong people who have stepped into the realm of gods, and if there are more than a dozen gods descending from Lukurazia's Dao, I don't know what the Dao will be frightened of.

While Kusanagi Godo was spending the night here in Lukurazia, Yang Xi and the others, who had met Veleslana, also paid enough accommodation fees at a nearby inn to start resting.

Although it was rest, no one slept. Coming to a brand new world realm, the world where gods are rampant, if you don't collect more information and sort out information, you are likely to encounter a lot of trouble.

The women never thought of being a vase, and with the great increase in strength, they naturally wanted to show their skills.

"Xi, Weleslana, the Eastern God of War, we have already seen it, and we have fully understood his ten incarnation powers from you, but what about the other god? Didn't you say that there was also a powerful god who had lost both sides with Veleslana hiding in a corner and recuperating from his wounds, waiting to fight the Eastern War God again? ”

Collecting intelligence has always been Huang Lingling's specialty, and she was naturally the first to ask questions.

"Well, the other god is the god Mekar. The god king worshipped by the Canaanites, the Phoenicians, and other Semitic peoples, this is Baal. Originally, he was the god of storms, lightning, and the sky, but his authority continued to grow stronger, and he had a lot of power after reaching his peak. The gods who resemble him are Zeus and Odin in the Indo-European language family, both of which you should know. ”

"Well, these two god kings are famous."

The women nodded.

Because the gods of this world were born in myths, and myths have different differences due to different cultural systems in different parts of the world, resulting in the diversification of godheads, and many gods with different descriptions are actually one god. Mecal is a god-king with the name of Baal! (To be continued......)
