"The Stone of Gorgon, discovered a few months ago, is a seal for the goddesses Medusa and Athena. And the temple of Hera discovered this time is the seal of the goddess Hera. Legend has it that Hera was the goddess with the curly hair of a snake and the eyes of a bull – and these seals showed the divinity of Mother Earth. ”

In Greek mythology, Hera was the wife of the god-king Zeus.

However, this goddess was originally the Earth Mother Goddess of the Peloponnese.

It was invaded and conquered by the Indo-European horse-riding peoples who worshipped the god of the sky, the prototype of Zeus. After that, Hera was forced to become a goddess subordinate to Zeus.

Soon, the two reached the depths of the underground temple.

There was a dark stone pillar, and next to it stood two witches - Diana? Milito and Karen? Yankolovsky was waiting there.

"First meeting, Wang. It may be out of place, but I sincerely ask you to listen to our pleas—"

"Don't worry, I'm here to solve the problem."

Interrupting Diana's greeting, Yang Xi looked at the stone pillar in front of him.

It was a cylinder made of obsidian-like black stone.

In the riverbed of the quarry of the underground temple from a long time ago, it grows like a tree.

On that surface is carved a line drawing that resembles a shrunken serpent. Although it is only a young carving, it has an incredible power to attract the eyes of the viewer.

The height is about twenty meters. This is what the Pillars of Hera look like.

"It's a good power, and it's still growing. I'm afraid it won't be long before we reach the level of attracting the disobedient gods to the present world. ”

"That's right. The person who discovered this pillar and moved it to this place with great difficulty was the Neapolitan witch of hundreds of years ago, our ancestors. ”

Diana said solemnly.

It was a completely different appearance from the messy posture in the second-hand bookstore just now, and she was also the leader of the Neapolitan branch of the "Bronze Black Cross".

"It happened to be the spring of this year—the time when the Stone of Gorgon was discovered in Calabria, so echoing it began to store mana. Thankfully. It wasn't that strong at first, although we weaved the 'Hidden' barrier and hid it—"

Recently, it has begun to be impossible to completely suppress.

Sighing, Diana explained, and at this time, Diana suddenly remembered that the matter of the Stone of Gorgon was also solved by the king in front of her. Although the process is a bit terrifying, even the strongest goddess of darkness, Athena, can defeat the king, so it should be easy to solve this matter, right?

"If Hera's stone pillar is here, if you let it go, then Hera may also appear, right?"

"Well, I hope it's very unlikely." With a confused expression. Diana replied.

Originally, it was not easy to bring this stone pillar out.

The pillars should be tied from the ground and then transferred.

In order to do this, we had to prepare personnel and equipment, and it would be terrible if something happened to Hera's pillar while doing so. This is too risky.

As for what he just said was related to dragons, of course, Yang Xi also knew that the dragon mentioned here was not the eastern dragon, but the western dragon.

Because judging by the results, the Western dragon is the transformation of the snake. At the extreme, it is appropriate to put parts of birds and lizards, horses and lions on snakes. It became a dragon.

In order to prevent the sacred shrine maidens from being relegated to "witches", the incarnation of the Earth Mother God, the snake, has changed into a "dragon" with the accumulation of the times. In the process, they acquire a menacing form and powerful abilities.

In short, it is to adapt to the changing times. Some snakes evolved into dragons.

A black column with a height of about twenty meters, and it also grows out of the ground.

Looking at the Hera Stone Pillar, which was much taller than himself, Yang Xi smiled lightly, "I can sense it." There's a dragon in it, so let's let it out. ”

"Put, let go? King. What do you want to do? ”

"How? For example, destroy this shell and release the dragon inside. ”

"Destroy the Hera Pillars!? This is a very important artifact!? ”

"This—It's too rude to say this!"

Diana shouted, and even Kalian, who was usually very calm, was so frightened that her face changed.

Forget about the Stone of Gorgon, the Pillar of Hera is a sacred sacrificial instrument for witches in Europe. Even if it is a "king", this suggestion is too meaningless.

"Then what do you say if you don't destroy it? It's a very important artifact, but can you use it? ”

Glancing at the two witches who were still emotional before, but now they were speechless, Yang Xi smiled slightly, "In my opinion, what can't be used is waste." No matter how precious it is, forcibly trying to harness something beyond one's ability will only bring disaster to oneself. If you want to keep this pillar, why do you ask me to come and solve the problem, wouldn't it be easier to tell me what to do? ”

"No, we don't mean to instruct the king, it's just that it's just too important to me."

"Oh, okay then, Lily, let's go back."

Seeing that Yang Xi turned around and was about to leave without hesitation, Liliana hurriedly took his hand, "Wang, please wait a minute!" ”

"Lily, they won't let it be resolved, why do we continue to stay here?"

"But, but the king, we have promised before"

Liliana's voice became lower and lower, but she was holding Yang Xi's hand harder.

Ay~

Yang Xi, who had long seen that the relationship between these two witches and Liliana seemed to be very close, sighed, and he turned to look at the two witches who were kneeling on the ground in fear but did not dare to speak.

"I came to Italy this time because there was something unsolvable in my subordinate association, the Bronze Black Cross, and this time the operation was to fully fulfill my obligations as a 'king' without receiving any remuneration. It's up to me to judge how to solve the problem. You say that the Pillars of Hera are important to you, but they are only for symbolism, so what can you do if you stay? Let it continue to store mana and attract the gods of disobedience? And then, in order to deal with these disobedient gods, will I always stay by this pillar?! ”

Yang Xi was not afraid of fighting against the god of disobedience, but looking at the appearance of these witches, it seemed that he wanted to ask him to be his bodyguard, or a pillar bodyguard that exuded divine power.

"Calm your anger, king, we really don't mean that. It's just that now the Pillar of Hera has stored a lot of mana for earth and water. We rely on the enchantments we've created to keep our mana from leaking, but if the king uses his power here, things will become unpredictable! In the worst-case scenario, the accumulated mana will explode at once, and the whole of Naples may be blown away. So you should avoid acting rashly! ”

"So you mean to watch the situation now?"

"Yes, that's right. I hope that I can use the wisdom of the king to think of the most suitable way. ”

Although she was terrified, Diana gritted her teeth and said it.

"Okay, then let's go back and rest today. It's late, so maybe I'll wake up early tomorrow morning and think of a good idea. ”

There is indeed no reason to refuse this royal command.

Even staying in front of the Hera Pillars is just a waste of time, so of course it's right. In this way, the three witches and Yang Xi returned the same way.

Liliana and Yang Xi stayed in an arranged hotel in the city.

In the evening, holding Liliana's hand, they walked through the city of Naples at night.

Although he came to Italy this time to solve the problem, the more important purpose was to cultivate feelings, and then have a super friendship relationship with this shy dependent, Yang Xi naturally would not let go of this excellent opportunity.

In Europe in the summer, especially in such a metropolis, this time is by no means very late, so there is quite a lot of traffic. At night, now is the time for those who want to play to go out.

The security in Naples is not very bad, this area is a relatively safe area, if it is in the old street, even if you encounter a thief gang or a robber or something, there is nothing to say.

That said, Liliana doesn't have a habit of going out at night.

Even if you're confident in your abilities so there's no danger, it's still a bad feeling.

If it weren't for the king's invitation

Young men and women walked down the street holding hands, especially Liliana, who kept her shy, frequently attracting the attention of pedestrians around her.

What a combination of golden boys and girls.

Yang Xi always kept smiling, he was not moved at all when he had adapted to this kind of look, but Liliana, who had received this kind of treatment for the first time, felt uncomfortable.

"Hehe, Lily is so cute!"

A little hard pinched Liliana's chin, and Yang Xi kissed her lightly on the cherry mouth.

Although more passionate kisses have been done, this kind of intimate behavior in front of the public still stimulates her to the point that she can't do it.

Not only did the heart pound as if it were about to pop out of the chest, but the brain was also congested and the eyes were dizzy.

Even my hands and feet are starting to go numb!

It's so exciting!

Lily is the kind of reserved character, although no matter how embarrassing things are in private, as long as you grit your teeth, you can do it, but in front of others, especially strangers, you can't bear it.

Originally, it was just one after another, and with the relationship between the two of them, this is a normal thing.

Now grab a mysterious magician and ask the other party if they know Liliana. Whoever Kranitzal was, the other party would reply that he was the lover of the Seventh King.

That's right, a combination of allegiances like this one of the opposite sex is a legitimate lover above board!

Even Liliana herself knows this. (To be continued......)
