Naples was originally a colonial Greek city.

At that time, the ruins of quarries where slaves worked and of buildings such as upper and lower sewers and cisterns built by future generations of Romans remained in this era, where the ruins of underground warehouses for food and alcohol were found near the Old Town Street.

Although many places, such as the underground ruins of the Old Town, have become attractions in Naples, some of the more important and magical remains have not been made public, but have been sealed and hidden by the witches in Naples.

This part of the ruins is basically concentrated in Santa? Rukia area.

It's a face to the Bay of Naples, including Santa? Tourist attractions such as the Port of Rukia and Egg Castle.

Led by Diana, Noah, Erica and Liliana entered an old clothing store in the area, where the owner's mother, who matched the store well, took them to the depths of the store without a word.

The boss is also a witch belonging to the Bronze Black Cross.

And deep in the store, there's an underground ruins entrance.

On the uncovered ground, a quadrangular cave leading to the ruins of the underground appears in front of a group of people in Noah, and a staircase of stone stretching underground can be seen clearly by whoever sees it and implicitly detects traces of the curse fluctuating around the cave.

Needless to say, it was caused by a junction arranged around the entrance to the relic.

“This is the temple of Hera, which houses the entrance to the underground ruins of the Hera Column.” Diana explains to Noah as she walks to the entrance to do some work.

“Originally, the Temple of Hera was inaccessible to people other than witches, even Lily had only a few experiences of entering, usually guarded by witches belonging to the" Bronze Black Cross ", surrounded by boundaries to defend against intruders and prevent spell leakage, please wait a moment before entering until we unravel the boundaries. ”

Originally, borders like this all have the function of recognizing enemies, and people who have been approved by Diana can pass.

However, the resistance to what is called an offensive spell of the Goddess is not flexible enough to choose whether or not to resist the spells touched, whether beneficial or useless, once touched, whether three or seven or 21, will be obliterated by hegemony.

If Noah were to be approached without a prior lifting of the junction, the entire junction would collapse due to the touch of Noah's body, and then the junction would have to be rebuilt.

Instead, it would be better to unravel a part of it and let the God-fearing pass, so that the only way to rebuild the boundaries is to repair the unraveled part.

Until the witch acting as the boss unraveled the junction, and led by Diana, Noah, Erica and Liliana walked down the stone steps at the entrance.

And when Noah walked into the ruins, what he saw was a passageway as long as an abandoned pit.

If it had gone back to BC, it would have been a quarry, so it would have resembled an abandoned tunnel.

However, this is not the case with the large number of murals carved all over the walls.

Those are murals drawn with simple lines.

If this was carved by stone age humans, maybe some will believe it.

And there are lots of snake-like creatures that are carved out on it.

Some are serpents that curl their long body plates.

Some are HYDRA with several heads.

Some snakes have wings like bats.

There are also claws and fangs, not so much snakes, but dragon creatures, but ultimately dragons are snakes.

The walls are engraved with snakes of all kinds.

In addition, there are lines like cows, birds, pigs, and lions.

Just let some magical cultivators come here and see it, and you'll be sure to recognize that all these creatures are symbols of the goddess.

The period in which these murals were engraved is presumably after the reign of the Roman Empire.

“Previously, this underground relic was the secret temple of the witches who served the goddess of the earth underground.” Liliana, walking next to Noah, whispered to Noah.

“Since patriarchal Christianity became a state religion, the goddesses of the earth who had served feminists in the past, witches with divine power, were regarded as witches and pursued, and they fled underground to build this type of underground temple for the purpose of conveying information in order to defend their wisdom. ”

“These murals on the walls are the object of the witch's faith, the posture of the goddess of the earth, right?” Erica looked over at the murals and whispered.

“In the ancient world, the witches who served the Mother Earth were the prototype of modern witches. With the popularity of Christianity, Europe lost its beliefs since ancient times, or was suppressed. In the process, it was supposed to be sacred witches who were persecuted and turned into fearful and taboo beings, witches, right? ”

Liliana nodded sophisticated, thinking she was sad about what happened to her ancestors?

Then, Diana, who was in the front, suddenly opened her mouth.

“Here we are.”

Almost simultaneously, Noah walked to the end of the stone steps, to the flat ground, to the depths of the underground temple.

In front of Noah is a vast open space, just like a altar.

The ground was engraved with snakes and dragons just like the mural.

In addition, there are ancient texts and patterns that symbolize magical significance, like a giant magic array, that fill the entire empty ground.

At the center of such an empty space as a magic array, there is a pitch-black stone column.

It's a thin cylinder made of black stone like obsidian.

The cylinder is about two metres tall and has a line painting on the surface that resembles a large snake tray. Although it is only a poor sculpture, it has a magical power to attract the attention of the viewer.

And on a cylinder like this, whether it's Noah, Erica, or Liliana, you can see a huge curse coming together.

“This is Hera Stone Column.” Diana shook hands and prayed like a pilgrimage, and her expression was quite devout.

“Hundreds of years ago, the witch of Napoly, our ancestors, discovered this pillar in Greece and painstakingly transferred it to this place, so that we could visualize, as we do now, the symbol of the divine one who served. ”

Even Erica, who was not a witch, closed her eyes when Liliana shook her hand and prayed like a devout believer.

Only Noah wrinkled her eyebrows as she watched the immense spell of "Hera's Column" fluctuate.

“Buzz ————! ”

At this point, in Noah's pocket, an object suddenly vibrated violently and also unleashed tremendous spells, like ripples, all over the space.

“Buzz ————! ”

At the same time, "Hera Column", like in response, fluctuates as frequently as boiling boiling boiling boiling boiling water with a massive curse that converges on the columns.

“What... what's wrong?!” Erica, Liliana and Diana were surprised.

Noah quickly pulled an item out of her pocket.

One, like the "Hera Stone Column", is made of Obsidian and depicts a crest with a female head full of snakes.

It's the Stone of the Gorgon.

“Buzz ————! ”

Also known as the "Snake" of the Mother Earth, at this moment, Athena's "Snake" resonates violently with Hera's "Snake", allowing the "Stone of the Gorgon" and "Hera's Column" to simultaneously unleash a tremendous amount of spell, which turns into substantial ripples, echoing back into the surrounding space.

“Is that The Stone of Gorgon?!” Diana was an ancient witch who recognized the identity of the badge in Noah's hand and shouted.

“No!” Erica and Liliana said, losing their voice.

“Athena's" Snake "resonates with Hera's" Snake, "so that more than Athena, Hera may even show up! ”

Noah glanced and shook "The Stone of Gorgon" in his hand without hesitation.

“Let's get out of here, Diana, and find a way to keep the spell on Hera's Column down! ”

“Yes... yes!” Diana responded hastily.

Noah, with Erica and Liliana, is pointing her toes, retreating very rapidly, jumping on a stone staircase and heading up the ruins.
