Holistic Fantasy - 528. Chapter 528

(Thank you very much for the rewards of’Youhuang^_^’,’Ning Mingshang’, and’claustrophobia’!)

Naples was originally a colonial city of the ancient Greeks.

At that time, the remains of the quarry where the slaves worked and the construction remains of the water and sewer and water tank built by the Romans of later generations still remain. They are regarded as underground remains in the vicinity of the old city and exist in this era. Even the ruins of underground warehouses for storing food and wine from the Middle Ages still exist here.

Although many places such as the underground ruins of the old city streets have been turned into tourist attractions in Naples, some of the more important and magical ruins were not made public, but were sealed by the witches of Naples. And hide it.

The remains of this part are basically concentrated in the Santa Lucia area.

It is an area facing Naples Bay, which contains tourist attractions such as Santa Rukia Port and Egg Fort.

Under Diana’s leadership, Noah, Erica and Liliana entered an old clothes shop in this area, and were silently taken to the depths of the shop by the proprietress who matched the shop. .

This proprietress is also a witch who belongs to the “Bronze Black Cross”.

And in the depths of this store, there is an entrance to the underground ruins.

On the uncovered ground, a four-cornered cave leading to the underground ruins was unfolded in front of Noah and his party. A scene where the stone staircase extends to the ground can be seen clearly by anyone, and the fluctuations can also be vaguely sensed. Traces of magic power around the cave.

Needless to say, it was also known that it was caused by the enchantment arranged around the entrance of the ruins.

“This is the temple of Hera, the entrance to the underground ruins where the “Pillar of Hera” is stored.” Dijana explained to Noah while the proprietress walked to the entrance to perform some kind of work.

“Originally, the Temple of Hera was inaccessible to anyone other than the witch. Even Lily had only a few experience of entering. Usually, the witch belonging to the “Bronze Black Cross” guarded this place. There are also barriers around here to defend against intruders and prevent the leakage of curse power. Please wait for a while, and then enter after we unlock the barrier.”

Originally, barriers like this had the function of identifying friend and foe, and anyone who was approved by Dijana could pass it.

However, “God Killer”‘s foul spell resistance is not flexible enough to choose whether to resist the touched spell, whether it is a beneficial or unhelpful spell, once touched, no matter if it is touched Twenty-one will be wiped out by the domineering.

If Noah is allowed to approach without lifting the barrier beforehand, the entire barrier will collapse due to the touch of Noah’s body, and the barrier will only be rebuilt at that time.

Instead of this, it is better to untie a part of it first and let the “God Killer” pass. In this case, if you want to rebuild the enchantment, you only need to repair the unlocked part.

After the witch acting as the proprietress unlocked the barrier, under Diana’s leadership, Noah, Erica and Liliana walked down the stone steps of the entrance together.

After Noah and his party entered the underground ruins, they saw a long and slender passage like a waste tunnel.

If it goes back to BC, this place should have been a quarry, so it is very similar to the abandoned tunnel.

However, the large number of murals carved everywhere on the wall is not the same thing.

Those are some murals drawn with simple and plain lines.

If this was carved by humans in the Stone Age, some people might believe it.

And on this, there are many snake-like creatures portrayed.

Some are big snakes that curl up their long bodies.

Some are Hydras with several heads.

Some are snakes with wings like bats.

There are also creatures with claws and fangs. They are more like dragons than snakes, but in the final analysis, dragons are also snakes.

Such various snakes are depicted on the wall.

In addition, there are some line drawings of cows, birds, pigs, and lions.

As long as people with a bit of magic cultivation come here to take a look, they will definitely be able to recognize that all these creatures are symbols of the Earth Mother God.

The period when these frescoes were carved is probably after the period of Roman Empire dominance.

“In the past, this underground ruin was a secret underground temple for the witches who served the goddess of the earth.” Liliana, who was walking next to Noah, said quietly to Noah.

“Since patriarchal Christianity became the state religion, the goddesses of the earth who served feminism in the past, and the witches who possessed the sacred power were regarded as witches and were hunted down. They fled underground to protect their wisdom and build Out of this kind of underground temple for the purpose of conveying information.”

“These murals on the wall depict the witch’s belief object, the attitude of the goddess of the earth?” Erica said in a low voice while admiring the murals here.

“In the ancient world, the witches serving the Mother Earth God were the prototypes of modern witches. With the popularization of Christianity in Europe, they lost their beliefs since ancient times. It can also be said that they were suppressed and boycotted. In this process, they should have been sacred witches. They are persecuted and become feared and taboo beings, that is, witches, right?”

Liliana nodded with a complicated expression, thinking that she was also saddened by the experience of her ancestors, right?

Then, Diana who was walking in the front suddenly spoke.

“arrive.”

Almost at the same time, Noah and his party reached the end of the stone steps, stepped onto the flat ground, and reached the depths of the underground temple.

What appeared in front of Noah was a vast open space like an altar.

Snakes and dragons like the mural just now were painted on the ground.

In addition, there are some ancient words and patterns that symbolize magic meaning, like a huge magic circle, covering the entire open space.

In the center of such an open space like a magic circle, there is a pitch-black stone pillar.

It is a thin column made of black stone similar to obsidian.

The height of the column is about two meters, and the surface is engraved with a line drawing that looks like a large snake entwined. Although it is only a poor sculpture, it has a magical power that can attract the viewer’s attention.

And on such a cylinder, no matter it was Noah, Erica or Liliana, they could perceive a huge curse power gradually condensing.

“This is the “Hera Pillar”.” Diana shook hands and prayed like a pilgrimage, with a very religious expression.

“Hundreds of years ago, the witch of Naples, our ancestors, discovered this stone pillar in Greece and moved it to this place with great pains. Only then can we visualize the symbols of the gods we once served as we are now. ”

Hearing that, Liliana also shook hands and prayed like a devout believer, even Erica, who was not a witch, closed her eyes.

Only Noah frowned as he looked at the “Hera Pillar” that was constantly fluctuating with huge curse power.

“Om————!”

At this time, an object in Noah’s pocket suddenly vibrated violently, and also released a huge curse power, echoing in the entire space like ripples.

“Buzz————!”

At the same time, the “Hera Pillar” also seemed to respond, and the whole body was shaken, and the huge curse power that was originally concentrated on the stone pillar fluctuated frequently like boiling water.

“What…what’s wrong?!” Erica, Liliana and Diana were taken aback.

Noah quickly took out an item from his pocket.

One, like the “Hera Pillar”, is made of obsidian on the surface, with a badge depicting a woman’s head whose hair is made up of snakes.

It is the “Gorgon Stone”.

“Om————!”

The “snake” who is also the mother goddess of the earth, at this moment, Athena’s “snake” and Hera’s “snake” have a violent resonance, making “Gorgon Stone” and “Hera Pillar” at the same time An extremely huge curse power was released, turned into a substantial ripple, echoing in the surrounding space.

“That’s the “Gorgon Stone”?!” Dijana is worthy of being an ancient witch, she recognized the body of the badge in Noah’s hand at a glance, and exclaimed.

“Not good!” Erica and Liliana yelled out of their voices even more understanding.

“Athena’s “snake” resonates with Hera’s “snake”. If this goes on, not only Athena, but Hera may appear! ”

Noah condensed his eyes, shook hands in the “Gorgon Stone”, and said without hesitation.

“Let’s withdraw first, Diana, you find a way to suppress the curse on the “Hera Pillar”!”

“Yes…Yes!” Dijana responded quickly.

Noah, along with Erica and Liliana, hit the ground on his toes. The figure retreated quickly, jumped up the stone stairs, and charged towards the ruins.
