Chapter 64: The Temple of Hera Underground
Beaches in the Bay of Naples
In a window seat at a restaurant by the sea
A young girl in a silver dress was sitting here, looking at a young man in front of her in surprise.
The figure of the young man was blurred, like a phantom created by the distortion of some kind of force, lacking a real sense of existence, and there was no breath on his body.
"The concubine is very curious why you are doing this, since you have come here, isn't your purpose to sleep in this place the dragon and snake dependents?", the girl stared at the phantom for a long time with her pure black eyes, and then asked slowly.
"That's not what I'm trying to do...... Lily can solve the matter here alone, even if there is a guy in the volcano over there, she can't stop it. The hand of the young man's virtual image pointed to the north, and the girl saw a volcano hidden by vegetation and gathering strength.
Hearing the young man's instructions, she vaguely felt something, frowned and asked the young man:
"The enemy of the concubine body is hiding here, what is your idea?", a certain is a little familiar but also
"He just happened to wake up. Using the power of the dragon and snake dependents to awaken the sleeping 'steel' is someone's plan. The young man's phantom slowly read out these words.
"By such humble means...... Use the deployment of the concubine's body as a sacrifice to awaken the 'steel' ...... You arranged this?", the girl asked with some suspicion and anger.
"I don't have the time, these things and arrangements started decades ago, and I guess someone wanted to wake up the sleeping steel. The image of a white woman was reflected in the boy's eyes, as if he had sensed the premeditation of this one.
"Then you should know who did it?" the girl's anger narrowed a little, and she continued to ask.
"I advise you not to go to that person, although her current strength has not yet recovered when she was once the Mother Earth Goddess, but the vessel in her hand can bring you back to mythology...... No, even the question is a little stricter. The boy gave her a hint flatly.
"You'll be useful until I solve the problem, and if you insist on dying, you'll have to go back later. Now, all you need to do is sit here quietly. The young man's words sounded again, but at this time his phantom had disappeared, and the girl opposite him was also gone.
The restaurant that was originally built by the sea was empty, and even the staff on duty disappeared. At this time, these people were standing outside, unaware that they had come out because of spiritual interference, and had given up their business for the day.
"If I was directly exposed here, I would be able to appear at once with Lily's spiritual vision...... Really...... It's much stronger than before. A certain boy hidden in the void focused his attention on the girl walking in the underground ruins, and muttered like this.
............
Naples was originally a city built by the ancient Greeks, with large quarries built at that time, as well as underground waterways and cisterns built during the Roman period, as well as underground warehouses and other facilities that have survived from the Middle Ages.
It is also known as the underground Naples, and many places have been cordoned off because there are so many ancient ruins and artifacts. Of course, another reason is that there is an underground temple here, and the witches of the previous generation used magic to close this place in order to prevent accidental birth, so as to avoid the influence of external factors.
In the depths of a mundane hut that resembled a clothing store, a small entrance suddenly opened on the unobscured masonry floor, leading down the stone steps deep underground, making it impossible for ordinary people to see the darkness below without lighting.
However, the witches who serve the Earth Mother God and have a considerable connection with the earth and darkness are able to have dark vision.
Three or four women walked slowly down the staircase, constantly exploring and observing the runes and line drawings in the corridor.
The large snakes that curl up together, the long snakes with wings that look like they fly into the sky, and the snakes with several heads, spitting fire and rain, are all painted on the walls.
The snake and the cow are all symbols of the Earth Mother Goddess, but if you want to choose a more suitable symbol for the Earth Mother Goddess, it is understandable that it should be the snake. The symbol of the ox is vigorous vitality, productivity and food, which represent the earth's endowment and love for human beings, and the snake represents life and death, the snake will fall into hibernation but will be revived by the arrival of spring, which in the eyes of the ancients they are the holy beasts that have passed through life and death.
Being able to give life to humans and bring death is the most important nature of the gods, and the characteristics of the Earth Mother Goddess are life and death. Compared to the cow, which can only show life, the snake that connects life and death is more suitable as a symbol of the goddess Earth, because the belief of the gods is not only admiration, but also fear.
"According to the totem carved in the center of the temple, it is almost certain that this is the place where the ancient witches worshiped Hera...... The totems here are also dominated by snakes and cows. Diana, who was walking in front, pointed to the mural beside her.
Liliana also nodded at this time, she could also feel the very little divine power stored here through her spiritual vision, and the image of the spiritual vision returning was also a goddess with the curly hair of a snake body and the eyes of a cow, and there was a strong earthly aura on her body.
As they slowly walked into the depths of the temple, they finally saw the pitch-black stone pillar in the center, and Liliana could feel the faint mana reaction from above.
"It's a hidden spell, isn't it...... Now it seems that the mana is forcibly restrained to avoid the arrival of the disobedient god......", Liliana, who has studied countless magic books, judged the current situation in a very short time.
"It's really Lily, now the attainment in spells should have passed me, right?", Diana sighed, the girl in front of her not only has quite high achievements in swordsmanship and martial arts, but also spells and spiritual vision.
"Teacher Diana, you're laughing...... But...... At present, this artifact is still very difficult to deal with. Even now, at most, I'm just reinforcing the spell...... I can't think of anything better. The girl carefully observed the divine tool in front of her, and finally said these words.
"Well, even Lily is like that...... If only the king had come...... It should be easy to solve, right?", Diana seemed to be a little troubled as she recalled the boy's terrifying dimensional magic.
"If it were the king, he would have had a way. The girl said without the slightest hesitation. She knew very well that the young man had mastered the magical dimensional magic, and it was estimated that it would be a matter of time to take away the magic tool in front of her in an instant.
"And ...... Lily now?", Diana asked Liliana, knowing full well that her former disciple might even be more skilled in magic than she was, so she wanted to consult her.
"Let's reinforce it first...... But it's not the best way, if there is too much mana stored in the artifact, it will always explode. Liliana estimated the magic power in the artifact and said with some concern.
"That's exactly what we're worried about...... Well, but there's no better way to do it now, come, Karen, let's strengthen the spell first. Diana hesitated for a moment and said to the maid-dressed girl beside her.
"Okay Aunt Diana. The expressionless maid walked in different directions with Diana and Liliana, and began to reinforce the spell.
At this moment, the black jade in the girl's package slightly emitted a faint breath, and it rushed into the pitch-black stone pillar in a way that no one could detect.
This is the god of the Earth Mother God, gathering the essence of the earth and water in this place, if it is released at will, it will definitely cause ** annoyance, even if you don't provoke it, it may cause a big explosion, and the underground building in Naples is likely to be destroyed. It was precisely because the witches of Naples knew the danger of this matter that they wanted to ask the king for help.
This strange aura was hidden in the darkness and wrapped around the black stone pillars. The stone pillar flickered slightly, as if there was some strange change, but this qiē was not noticed, and the three witches were all concentrated on strengthening the power of the spell, and they couldn't tell their minds.
At this time, Liliana seemed to feel that the magic on the stone pillars here was getting stronger and stronger.
"Is it because you have too much mana......? The previous spells are no longer controllable. Liliana estimated in her heart, but she couldn't notice the change in the depths of the stone pillar.
When the three of them had finished reinforcing the spell and the temple was at peace, two different voices sounded again in the void.
"The concubine understands your intentions a little, but you will be idle and have nothing to arrange these things, do you need to borrow her power?", the ethereal and tactful voice recalled.
"It's just...... What would you like to be able to do...... With her qualifications, if she doesn't have enough power, she can only rely on other people's protection, but I hope she can stop worrying about these things. I will definitely do what I promised. The young man's indifferent but deep voice responded.
"You actually care about her situation?The storage you are waiting for is even higher than the concubine's body, and the fragile life in the eyes of the concubine's body is worth such a lot of trouble?", the girl seemed to laugh a little.
"That's the difference between you and me. You don't even know who you are, let alone your promises and oaths, and if you don't want to return to mythology like this in the future, think about it. The boy didn't seem to care about the girl's sarcasm, and only left such words.
(PS: Aha...... It seems that the recent updates have become unstable...... Ay...... It's better when you're in school...... )
