Naples, also known as the city of Naples, is one of the few large cities in Italy, and it is also a port street and sightseeing spot.
The beauty and elegance of this ancient capital even gave rise to the saying "you can rest in peace after seeing Naples".
As one of the three major night scenes in the world, the city of Naples will not only be illuminated by various lights at night, but if you look east, you can also see a magnificent volcano ten kilometers away.
Naples, famous for being the birthplace of pizza, is actually a university town as well.
In 1224, the University of Naples was established during the Kingdom of Syria and is still alive today.
Because of this environment, there are unexpectedly many second-hand bookstores in the city.
Especially around Bellini Square in the old city street, where there is a very famous old bookstore street.
In such a city, at the corner of Naples, there is an old city street.
Near Garibaldi Square and the Cathedral, there is a city-style corner in the center.
Right there, there is an old bookstore called "Milly's House".
The shape and design of this store is very neat.
It is obviously a very small second-hand bookstore, but there are all kinds of old books of different sizes piled up in the store. The variety and chaos exude a unique atmosphere.
Noah, Erica and Liliana, who flew directly from London, England to Naples, Italy, are now in front of the gate of this second-hand bookstore.
"It's finally here..." Even Noah couldn't help complaining at this time.
"This is the first time that I have flown so frequently several times in a row. Even though there is no physical problem, I am still mentally exhausted."
Erica and Liliana nodded in agreement.
If you take a closer look, both Erica and Liliana have a trace of exhaustion left in their eyes from running around.
"Lily.
"Erica said to Liliana with a strong spirit.
"Are there people who belong to the 'Bronze Black Cross' like you?"
"That's right." Liliana also cheered up, and nodded to Noah and Erica.
"Wait here, I'll go find her."
After saying that, Liliana went directly into the second-hand bookstore. After a while, the owner of the second-hand bookstore was brought out.
It was a woman of unknown age, wearing a very light and beautiful dress with a lot of lace, and a baby face.
"Diana Milide sends her greetings to the king." The baby-faced woman lifted the corner of her skirt. He saluted Noah solemnly.
"I also ask the king to forgive me for my poor hospitality."
"Miss Diyana is a witch who lives in Naples. Like me, she belongs to the "Bronze Black Cross", and she is also a wise teacher who taught me magic." Liliana also added an introduction.
"Miss Diana is like a teacher to me."
"Teacher? How can I be so old?" Diyana said to Liliana, puffing up her cheeks.
"I do teach you witchcraft for witches. But I'm not your teacher."
"Is...really?" Liliana's eyes twitched a few times, and she laughed dryly.
Seeing this, Noah and Erica also got together and started whispering.
"In other words, this lady named Diyana is actually much older than she appears on the surface?"
"At least that's how I know it. You also know that Lily and I are childhood sweethearts. When I first met her, I was only seven years old. At that time, Miss Diana already had the appearance she has now."
"Nine years have passed since you were seven years old, right? Has this appearance been the same for such a long time?"
"It's not surprising, as long as the spell power is practiced to the point of perfection. Then the witches can maintain their youthful appearance and body. Even so, time will always pass by. If you look carefully, you can still find it. The crow's feet around Miss Diana's eyes."
"Then how old is she?"
"...It's better not to think too much about this kind of thing..."
Having reached such a consensus, Noah and Erica decided to turn a blind eye to this matter.
Then, Noah stepped forward.
"Excuse me, Miss Diana, I believe you already know the reason why we came to Naples from Lily, so, sorry, can you tell me if there is any strange thing happening here first. Is there a "no What about the signs of God's appearance?"
When it came to business, Diana also restrained her smile, and nodded to Noah.
"I see. I invite Wang to come to the shop first. Let's go inside and talk."
Noah, Erica, and Liliana all nodded, and under the leadership of Diyana, they entered the second-hand bookstore in front of them.
...
On the second floor of the second-hand bookstore, there is a place that looks like a living room and a library.
At the edge of a desk, Noah took the only seat, and Erica and Liliana stood behind Noah like guards and entourages. And Diana stood in front of the desk, facing Noah, as if she was about to report to her boss.
This arrangement allowed the status of everyone present to be clearly expressed.
Noah is not the kind of person who likes to enjoy the feeling of superiority, but if he is treated like this, he will not feel that he is superior, so it doesn't matter.
In such a situation, Diana took out a report in her hand and said to Noah while flipping through it.
"Lily contacted me not long ago, asking me to pay attention to whether there is any abnormal phenomenon in Naples. Since then, I have been investigating the signs of mana in Naples, and finally detected it not long ago. There is a great deal of mana gathered in a corner of Naples."
Erica and Liliana, who were standing behind Noah, exchanged glances.
Even Noah narrowed his eyes slightly.
In fact, there is a phenomenon of a large amount of magic power gathering in Naples, and Noah noticed it after coming to Naples.
Erica and Liliana don't have the excessive sensitivity like Noah, and they don't have Noah's keen sense of spell power as a "God Slayer", but the two girls are also very good knights. Noah Wan must have noticed the same phenomenon more or less, right?
That's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that, according to Liliana, the place where a large amount of magic power is gathered seems to be an underground relic under the management of the "Bronze Black Cross" that only witches can enter.
Liliana also entered that underground ruins.
Therefore, Liliana still clearly remembered what was in that underground ruins.
Therefore, Liliana spoke directly.
"Is it the "Hera Pillar" that gathers a lot of magic power?"
——Hera.
In Greek mythology, the wife of the god-king Zeus, a god who shares the same fate as Athena's half-body --- Metis.
Like Athena, who was born in North Africa and worshiped by the whole Mediterranean region, the goddess Hera was originally the mother goddess of the Peloponnese Peninsula. Although she is not the queen of the gods like Athena, she is also the highest in the same rank. goddess of the earth.
However, when the feminist society was denied and men began to monopolize power and revise the myth, Hera and Athena fell to the same fate.
The originally noble and supreme godhead was deliberately belittled, and Hera, like Metis, became a goddess subordinate to Zeus in Greek mythology.
The "Pillar of Hera" is the seal that symbolizes Hera's "snake".
Just as the "Gorgon Stone" is the seal of Athena's "snake", the "Hera Pillar" is Hera's "snake".
Today, this "Pillar of Hera" is stored in the underground ruins of Naples managed by the "Bronze Black Cross".
After realizing that there was a large amount of magic power gathering in Naples, Liliana used the witchcraft of reconnaissance to determine that the magic power came from the underground ruins where the "Hera Pillar" was stored.
In this way, it is not difficult to guess the source of the large amount of magic power.
And Diyana's answer also confirmed Liliana's guess.
"Since the "Stone of Gorgon" was born a few months ago, the "Pillar of Hera" has begun to gather magic power. It was not obvious before, so we thought it was just stored in the sacred tool at the beginning It’s just that the power has been leaked out, so I don’t associate it with the “God of Disobedience”.”
"Athena first, is it related to Hera now?" Noah frowned.
"But, shouldn't it be 'steel' that appeared in Naples?"
"Let's go and have a look first!" Erica made a decisive decision.
"It's better to confirm first!"
Noah immediately nodded in agreement. (To be continued.)
