Chapter 539
(Thank you very much for the reward of ‘Yuhuang ^_^’, ‘Condensed’, ‘Crystal Closed Moon’!)
Napoli was originally a colonial city of the ancient Greeks.
At that time, Ruins, which was built by the Rus, the quarry of the slaves, and the sewers and water storage tanks built by the Romans of the later generations, still exist, and existed in this era as the underground Ruins in the vicinity of the old city street. Even the underground warehouse sites that store food and alcohol left in the Middle Ages still exist here.
Although many places, such as the underground Ruins of Old City Street, have become tourist attractions in Naples, some of them are more important, and the Ruins with Magecraft meaning are not made public, but they are sealed by the Witch of Napoli. And hide it.
This part of Ruins is basically concentrated in the Santa Lucia area.
It is an area facing Napoli Bay, including tourist attractions such as Santa Lucia Port and Egg Fort.
Under the leadership of Diana, Noah, Erica and Liliana entered the old clothes shop in this area, and the Boss mother, who matched the store, was silently brought to the depths of the store.
This Boss is also a Witch belonging to the “Bronze Black Cross”.
In the depths of the store, there is an entrance to the underground Ruins.
On the uncovered ground, a four-corner cave leading to the underground Ruins is displayed in front of the Noah entire group. The stone-built ladder extends to the ground. No matter who can see it clearly, it can also vaguely detect the fluctuations. Magical power traces in the cave surroundings.
Needless to say, it is caused by the barriers placed in the surroundings of the Ruins entrance.
“Here is the temple of Hera, where the entrance to the underground Ruins of Heraneion is stored.” Diana explained to Noah as she walked to the entrance where the Boss went to work.
“Original, the Temple of Hera is a place that people other than Witch can’t enter. Even Lily has only a few experiences of entering. It is usually guarded by Witch, which belongs to “Bronze Black Cross”. The surroundings are also equipped with barriers to protect intruders and prevent magical power from leaking. Please wait for the moment, and wait until we unlock the barrier.”
originally. Barriers like this have the ability to identify enemies, and those who are approved by Diana can pass.
However, “God Slayer (Campione!)” is a foul Magic Resistance is not flexible enough to choose whether to resist the magical arts touched, whether it is beneficial or unhelpful magical arts, once touched, no matter three Seventy-one. Will be erased by Supremacy.
If Noah is approached without first releasing the barrier, then the entire barrier will collapse due to Noah’s physical touch, and then the barrier can only be rebuilt.
Instead of this, it’s better to unpack some of them and let God Slayer (Campione!) pass. In this case, if you want to rebuild the barrier, you only need to fix the unlocked part.
After Witch, who served as Boss, untied the barrier, under the leadership of Diana, Noah, Erica and Liliana went along the stone steps of the entrance.
After the Noah entire group entered the underground Ruins, it saw a path that was as slender as a waste tunnel.
If it dates back to BC, it should have been a quarry. Therefore, it will be very similar to the waste tunnel.
However, a lot of murals carved around the walls are not the same thing.
It is a mural painted with simple, simple lines.
If this is carved by the humans of the Stone Age, some people may believe it.
There are many creatures like Snake that are portrayed on this.
Some are Orochi that curls up the long body.
Some are nine Snakes with several heads.
Some are Snakes with wings like bats.
There are also some with sharp claw and Fang. Rather than Snake, it is better to say that it is a dragon creature, but in the final analysis, the dragon is also Snake.
The variety of Snake is portrayed on the wall.
In addition, there are some line drawings such as cows, birds, pigs and lions.
Just let someone who is a little Magecraft cultivate here to see it, then you will be able to recognize it. These creatures are all symbols of Earth Mother Goddesses.
The period in which these murals were engraved was estimated to be the era after the Roman Empire’s domination period.
“Before. This underground Ruins is the secret temple of the Mikos who serve Earth Goddess underground.” Liliana, who walks next to Noah, whispered to Noah.
“After the Christianity of male ideology became the state religion, Earth Goddess who used to serve feminist ideology. Mikos who have Holy Power are regarded as Witch, they are chased, they fled underground, built their own wisdom for Guard, built Out of this category of underground shrines for the purpose of conveying information.”
“The murals on the wall portray Witch’s beliefs, the attitude of Earth Goddess?” Erica whispered as she looked at the murals here.
“In the ancient World, Miko, who served the great Earth Mother Goddesses, was the prototype of the modern Witch. Europe lost the belief of the thin ancient times with the popularity of Christianity. It can also be said that it was suppressed by suppression. In the process, it should have been sacred. The Mikos were persecuted and became feared and jealous, that is, Witch, right?”
Liliana’s expression is somewhat complicated, nodded, and I am saddened by the experience of my ancestors.
Then, Diana, who was at the forefront, suddenly spoke.
“Arrived.”
Almost at the same time, Noah entire group walked to the end of the stone steps, set foot on the flat ground and reached the depths of the underground shrine.
What appeared in Noah’s eyes was a vast open space like an altar.
The ground depicts the same Snake and dragon as the murals.
In addition, some ancient texts and patterns that symbolize the meaning of Magecraft, like a huge Magic Array, fill the entire open space.
In the center of the open space like this Magic Array, there is a dark stone pillar.
It is a thin cylinder made of black stone like obsidian.
The height of the cylinder is about two meters, and the surface is engraved with a line drawing similar to the Orochi dish. Although only the poor carving, there is a magical power that attracts the viewer’s attention.
On such a cylinder, whether it is Noah, Erica or Liliana, it can be perceived that a huge amount of magical power is gradually condensing.
“This is the “Hera stone pillar.”” Diana shook hands like a pilgrimage, and her expression was quite devout.
“Hundreds of years ago, Witch of Naples, our ancestors discovered this stone pillar in Greece, and moved it to this place, so that we can intuitively symbolize the gods we used to serve.”
Hear this, Liliana also shook hands and prayed like a devout believer, even Erica, who was not Witch, closed his eyes.
Only Noah, looking at the constant “Heraneion” of the magnificent magical power, frowned.
“嗡————!”
At this moment, in Noah’s pocket, an object suddenly and violently vibrated, and also released a huge magical power, echoing like a ripple in the entire space.
“Buzz ———— !”
At the same time, “Heraneion” is also like a response, the whole body is shocked, and the huge magical power that originally converges on the stone pillar is like a boiled boiling water, which fluctuates frequently.
“How…what happened?!” Erica, Liliana and Diana were three startled.
Noah quickly took out an item from his pocket.
Like the “Hera stone pillar”, it is made of obsidian and depicts a coat of arms that is made up of a woman’s head made up of Snake.
Prescribed 『Gorgoneion』.
“嗡————!”
At the same time as the Snake of the Earth Mother Goddesses, at this moment, Athena’s Snake and Hera’s Snake resonate violently, letting Gorgoneion and Heraneion simultaneously release extremely large magical power, turning into a substantial ripple. , echoing in the space of surroundings.
“That is “Gorgoneion”?!” Diana is an old Witch, and at a glance she recognizes the body of the badge in Noah’s hand and exclaims.
“Not good!” Erica and Liliana understood what they were, and shouted.
“Athena’s Snake resonates with Hera’s Snake, so go on, not just Athena, maybe even Hera will show up!”
Noah looked at him and shook hands with “Gorgoneion,” with the slightest hesitation.
“We will withdraw first, Diana, you can find a way to press the magical power on the “Heraneion”!”
“Yes…yes!” Diana replied quickly.
Noah, this time with Erica and Liliana, the tip of the toe, the extremely extremely fast retreat, jumped up, jumped on the stone ladder, and rushed to Ruins.
