Summer in Europe is a rare time for people who are tired from work to enjoy a leisurely long vacation.

Naples, the largest city in southern Italy, is only a little warm because of its proximity to the coast, even when the whole of Europe is in the heat. It has been known as a summer resort since Roman times, and it is natural that it has become the residence of many tourists on vacation.

Across the Bay of Naples, you can see Mount Vesuvius in silence, where the powerful force that buried an ancient city under the ashes is silent, as if waiting for some time to come.

Visitors from all over Europe flock here, and from time to time you can see young travelers in swimsuits walking from here to the beach to cool off on a summer day.

A young girl was walking alone, and she was heading in the opposite direction of the travelers, from the coast to the old street on the outskirts of the city. From time to time, the girl looked around to confirm the direction, as if she was following some specific trace.

Even in the summer, the girl didn't seem to want to wear more refreshing clothes, and her dark blue shirt and somewhat tight trousers didn't seem to notice the current temperature at all.

Her face was a little immature, as if she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but the soft but strong expression on her face, and the somewhat silent expression on her body, made people feel that she was a little unapproachable.

However, if those who know her well see her current expression, they will definitely understand that she is just a little nervous and uncomfortable. That's why there was a stern expression on his face. In the past, the only people who could accompany her were the other four who lived in the castle, and even if they often went to other places, they rarely communicated with people formally because of the short time. Of course, this situation was also noticed by someone later, so she went to the magic temple in Milan for two years to study, and her acquaintance with Erica began at about that time.

"Hmm...... Wearing such shameful clothes outside, it still looks like ...... has nothing to do", the girl was muttering in her heart about the scene she had just seen, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable.

If you dress like this, can you walk out as calmly as they do?The girl suddenly had a question in her heart, and after a little comparison in her mind, her face glowed with a faint red, as if she couldn't bear the too bold and revealing style and felt shy.

"It's too revealing! The girl threw out all the other thoughts in her heart and remembered the purpose of her trip.

"Teacher Diana, it seems that I haven't seen you for a long time. The girl suddenly recalled that when she first turned on her spiritual vision, it was this teacher with rich experience in magic who officially led her into the world of magic and taught her how to master and control her spiritual vision.

And it was the teacher at that time who brought her out of that boring and boring place and exposed her to more things, including of course an unexpected encounter with a teenager.

Time seems to go back to ten years ago, when she was just a girl who had just come into contact with magic and followed her teacher out to study, she accidentally met a teenager on the corner of the street, and was attracted by his strange magical eyes.

"Hmm...... However, Teacher Diana has been busy dealing with the affairs of the association in the past few years...... It seems that there is very little time to spare, but I heard that I have recently been transferred here, so my position should be much easier, right?", the girl scanned the hidden magic words on the street with the corner of her eye, in order to determine the residence of the bronze black cross here.

Naples, one of Italy's most famous metropolises, is not only rich in its economy, but also in its extraordinary ancient ruins and landscapes. There are a lot of tourists coming and going every year, and this year is no exception, and the girl can feel the bustle and prosperity of this city when she walks on the street.

Unfortunately, the girl didn't seem too happy with the scene, and ignored the gaze cast around her a little, and the girl focused on the magic words on the street, and followed the signs to a bookstore.

Perhaps because she had followed these trails for too long, she had unconsciously left the downtown area and walked into this somewhat secluded alley.

Not far away is Piazza Garibaldi and the Grand Basilica, and the alleys are built in the corner of the city, which has a unique market style and is out of step with the prosperity of the outside world.

A humble bookstore

The girl first looked at the warning magic set on the door, and pushed the door open without a trace, but what she saw was a twenty-year-old adult ** who was holding a book and reading it alone, and behind her was a slightly younger girl standing.

And behind the two of them are a lot of cluttered books. It may not be right to say that it is cluttered, because many of the books are of different sizes and thicknesses, and from time to time you can see new and old books mixed together, which gives people the illusion of what kind of books are being bought here.

The girl's movements were apparently noticed by the two women here, and the shorter girl in a maid's costume looked at the figure standing not far away, and asked the woman beside her:

"Aunt Diana, someone's coming. ”

"Ah, Auntie...... Karen, you kid is so ......", the woman holding the book seemed to be deeply shocked, and threw a look of help to the girl standing at the door.

"Hmm...... Karen, if it's Diana...... Teacher's Words...... It seems a bit inappropriate to be an aunt. The girl raised her head slightly, not daring to stare directly at the two people in front of her and said.

"Well, it seems more appropriate to call Granny Diana. The girl in the maid's costume seemed to be saying cruel words with a straight face.

"Woo! no...... Lily, tell me a little bit about her!", the twenty-year-old woman who was revealed to be her real age was looking helpless.

Liliana looked at her teacher with some weakness. Although I haven't seen her for ten years, the original young and beautiful woman still maintains her original appearance, but the details of the corners of the eyes and skin have been exposed. Even with a magic correction, it can't hide that she is close to sixty years old.

"Granny Diana, you have to face the facts calmly, even if you can't be an aunt, it's okay. ", the grimacing maid continued to complain.

"Actually, it doesn't seem like it's right to say it's a mother-in-law......," Liliana muttered to herself, chatting a little with the woman in front of her.

"By the way, Teacher Diana, it seems that there are artifacts unearthed here recently?", Liliana finally calmed down the devastated Diana and asked the crucial question.

"It's a secret temple hidden in the Santa Rucia area.,It's built underground.,Originally, the witches showed it decades ago.,In order to prevent some accidental life, this thing was sealed...... But ......", Diana stern up, because she was talking about something very important.

"There's been a lot of hidden magic here lately, and there's no way to hide any temple, right...... Looks like there's too much mana stored inside. The girl thought about it a little seriously and asked based on the news she had gotten before.

"Indeed, since the spring of this year, the divine apparatus that had not reacted at all has been constantly absorbing the power of the earth and water, and it seems that it is accumulating strength to prepare something. The barrier we have set up is almost impossible to ban, so we ask the king to let him deal with it. Diana pulled some of the photos and words out of the ancient book behind her and handed them to Liliana.

"My brother ordered me to come, so I should have solved this problem, right?", Liliana recalled the thing that the boy had handed her before leaving, a little puzzled, and then guessed.

"Absorb the essence of the earth and the water...... Is it the god of Mother Earth?", Liliana asked, flipping through the information in her hand.

It seems that the temple has the most abundant images of snakes and cows, which are the images of the Mother Earth goddess. Judging by the age, it should be a building after the Roman period, and it is estimated that it was built by ancient witches in order to protect the gods. Diana pointed out some special rune sculptures, explained.

"If you don't handle it carefully...... It's very likely that some divine beast or god will be summoned, ah......," Diana said in an accentuated tone.

She had thought that it would be better for the king, who had lived in the castle for a long time, to come out and solve the problem, but she did not expect Liliana to come alone. Although she is still quite optimistic about the girl in front of her, she doesn't think that she has the power to solve the disobedient gods.

If it is a divine beast, it can be suppressed by relying on the power of a top magician, but even if it is not a god, it has its own powerful power, and it is difficult for even the top magician to deal with it.

"Don't worry, Teacher Diana, since the king sent me to come alone, I must have estimated that I can solve this incident, and there should be no big problem. Liliana smiled confidently, and also made the witch in front of her relax a little.

"It seems that even if it appears, it should be a divine beast, right? If it is a divine beast, then it is not impossible to prepare in advance. The supreme leader of Naples was now estimating what to do with the underground temple.

Liliana estimated her strength at this time, and began to guess what kind of divine beast would emerge from here, while Diana was preparing to mobilize the witch to solve this hidden danger with all her might.

However, many times things don't work out the way people think they are, ignoring the influence of other factors, and the results of the calculations will be completely different. It is precisely because of the many coincidences and accidents that many legends are formed. Of course, there are all kinds of preconditions behind the legend that allow this story to spread.

At this moment, a shimmering jade stone was hiding in the girl's package, and the tiny textures on it were faintly shining.

(PS: Something has happened at home lately...... Very busy...... I'm sorry...... I thought it would be easier to say that the winter vacation would be easier...... ）
