Chapter 704
Tossing and turning back to Neon again, this time Kaneki brought the Stone of Gorgon, but Erica did not follow again, but returned to Sardinia's master Paul's side, saying that he wanted to consult Paul, and he was happy to see it, it was a good thing that his assistant became stronger, and even if she didn't follow, there was Ariana who took care of his daily life, so there was nothing inconvenient.
Returning to the hotel where she stayed before, the room did not return, and knocked on the door of Ariana's room, and the maid girl looked surprised, "Your Highness, are you back?" Hey, why didn't you see Miss? ”
"Erica went back to Sardinia, and I'll come back after a while, but you gave me a big surprise, I didn't expect that I really cultivated my fighting spirit." Kaneki looked Ariana up and down, how could he not feel the vindictiveness? After all, the ontology had cultivated this kind of system, but she didn't expect that she would be able to cultivate her fighting spirit in just a few days, it seems that God is indeed fair.
Ariana showed a hint of shame on her face when she heard this, but there was also a hint of smugness in her eyes, after all, she was indeed very talented in martial arts, "If it weren't for your reminder and gift from Your Highness, I'm afraid I'm still an ordinary person now." ”
"This is your own chance, since you have already started, let's step up and consolidate."
"However, Your Highness always needs someone to take care of him, right?" Ariana really wants to continue cultivating, and when she first gains strength, she always hopes to make persistent efforts to become stronger, and she likes the feeling of cultivation very much, but if there is no one to take care of Kaneki, she can't say anything.
Jin Mu waved his hand, "Your cultivation with peace of mind is that there are people around me who don't need to be taken care of for the time being." ”
Ariana bit her lip, is it really because she is too weak? After all, she is just getting started, and she has not even left the category of ordinary people.
Thinking of this, she nodded heavily and stopped insisting.
After Ariana returned to the room to practice, Jin Mu, who was holding the Gorgon Stone, planned to find someone to take a look at the Gorgon Stone and try to see if he could figure out the identity of the silver-haired Lori, although he guessed in his heart whether the other party would be 'Medusa', after all, it matched its charm and was related to the Gorgon, but it was just speculation before he was completely sure.
Seven Shrines.
Compared to Kaneki, Maritani Yuri and Kusanagi Godo came back earlier, the latter is a student after all, and has her own home, so she spends most of her time with her family, while the former is also a student, but she spends most of her time in the shrine.
Since Rome and her party, she has also confirmed the identity of the followers around Kusanagi Godo, which can be regarded as half of the task assigned by the committee, and as for the other half, she can only take her time.
Today, Ganji Dongma visited, even if he didn't tell him what he meant, Wanli Gu Yuri was also clear about it.
Tell me everything about the current situation of Kusanagi Godo, and when he heard that Kusanagi Godo can only be regarded as a half-god killer, Ganji Fuyuma frowned obviously.
"This matter, there is some trouble, there has never been such a thing since ancient times, and I don't know if the incompleteness of the transformation ritual will have an impact, although it is true that I have obtained the power of the god of disobedience, but I don't know if I can do it under the condition of continuing to conquer the god of disobedience, or even if I can defeat the god of disobedience, can I get the power?"
As if asking a question, as if asking herself, Yuri Wanri didn't answer, because she didn't know, although what she said to Kusanagi Godo was that maybe she could complete the ritual by killing the gods a second time, but who knows what she hadn't tried?
Gan Ji Dongma thought for a while, and finally sighed slowly, "This matter, it seems that it can only be reported to the committee and the four families to see if the specific plan can come out." It's hard to get a god-killer who belongs to your own country, and it's a shame to give up so easily. ”
Yuri Wanli Gu didn't express any opinion on this, in her cognition, protecting the shrine, protecting her sister, and protecting the people was what she had to do, and as for other things, she didn't care.
"I've been bothering for so long, it's time to leave, thank you very much for Miss Wanligu's cooperation, please keep it up." The winter horse said goodbye and slowly got up.
Coincidentally, at this time, Kaneki came to visit outside the shrine, and once again face-to-face, the two of them smiled separately, and said hello, passing by like strangers.
Ganji Dongma can treat Kaneki as an ordinary person, but Wanli Gu Yuri cannot, when she sees Kaneki coming again, the expression on her face is very complicated, but there should be a lot of etiquette.
"Greetings to Your Highness!"
Looking at the prostrate gift, Jin Mu waved his hand, "There is no need for this kind of boring red tape, I came today to find you something." ”
Yuri Wanli looked up in confusion, but saw that Kaneki took out a badge made of obsidian with a portrait of a gorgon, and handed it to her.
"This is something I got by accident, and I want you to take a look at it for me."
Wanli Gu Yuri took it, and his spiritual vision looked through the surface to probe the inside, and the expression on his face became pale and frightened as he saw it, "This... This is a holy seal with a very ancient Godhead sealed in it. The serpent god, the seal of the great serpent, no, it should belong to the more rooted, the spiral mark that surrounds the mother earth... Although it was only my intuition, such a coat of arms should have been excavated from North Africa, and the names of Egypt and Algeria inevitably appeared in my mind. ”
"The name of this badge is the Stone of Gorgon, do you know it?"
Yuri Wanli handed the badge back to Kaneki, and slowly shook his head, with a certain amount of fear in his eyes, "No, I'm not familiar with the civilization and theology in Europe, but I just vaguely express my feelings through spiritual vision and inspiration. ”
"If you don't know each other, it doesn't mean that others don't." Kaneki smiled, a hint of banter flashing in his eyes, "For example, the Formal History Compilation Committee." ”
Wanli Gu Yuli was stunned for a moment, and then his color changed, "You are..."
"I know you're complaining to me in your heart, why did you bring the god of disobedience to neon, because it would cause unimaginable disasters, right?"
Wanli Gu Yuli, who was poked in the center, changed his face and lowered his head, "How dare you do it down." ”
Kaneki smiled indifferently, "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you think so, I'm afraid that the existence of the Stone of Gorgon has reached neon." I've met her before, she's a very powerful being, and it doesn't seem like she's got all of her power back, I'm here to figure out the role of this thing and the identity of the other party, and only in this way can I be sure that I'm ready to fight her, so you'd better think clearly, if you're willing to help me, after all, only I can stop her..."
As Kaneki said, he is the only one who can stop the disobedient god, and Yuri Wanri Tani didn't consider the possibility of Kusanagi Godo in the slightest, how could a half-hung god killer defeat a powerful and ancient disobedient god? Yes, she can only rely on the golden wood in front of her.
Slowly got up and took a deep breath, "Please also ask Your Highness to give me the badge again." ”
Jin Mu handed it to her again, with a playful smile on his face, he knew very well that Wanli Gu Yuri had a way, but if he didn't force this witch to comply, she would definitely not help herself, so he had the previous words, to put it bluntly, it was actually to scare and scare her, of course, there was no real idea, then only he knew.
Yuri Mori, who was holding the Stone of Gorgon again, slowly closed her eyes, and a pale green light appeared outside her body, which was a manifestation of spiritual power, and her mouth began to murmur as she 'saw', "I saw the night... I don't know what kind of god the other party is, but she belongs to the night..."
Think back to those key words, the goddess of the earth, the serpent, Medusa, the stone of Gorgon, and connect them all, "Night, the eyes of the night, the young goddess with silver hair, no, not young, but the goddess who has been deprived of age and status, so she is young, so she will become the true name of the other party, the honorific name of the god of disobedience..."
The moment she saw the name, the expression on her face instantly became shocked.
"You know the name?" Kaneki frowned, looking at Yuri Mori's reaction, she knew that she must know, and there were only a handful of European goddesses who knew regardless of region.
Wanli Gu Yuri didn't answer, but muttered to himself with a look of shock on his face, "Is there something wrong, obviously this goddess should be Gorgon... The enemy of the snake god is right, and this is not only for me, but also for everyone. ”
"Tell me, what's her name?"
"Athena, her name is Athena..."
Athena, one of the twelve main gods of ancient Greek mythology, represents the goddess of wisdom and war, there are legends about her, almost all over the world are familiar with it, no matter what kind of posture it appears, television, movies, etc.
Athena chasing the Stone of Gorgon? To retrieve her power from the Stone of Gorgon?
It's just why, even though she is a goddess, she has something to do with 'snakes'?
......
Sea cucumber Poseidon is her arch-enemy.
But she didn't hate the sea because of it, because both the sea and the earth were deeply connected to the very nature of her deprivation, which was the source of life.
What she really hates is the sun.
The sparkling light and the dazzling Sky Throne are what really make the Queen of the Night unpleasant.
Forget it, it's just unpleasant, not unbearable.
The sun is also the fire of life, an indispensable element that connects life and death, and it is the queen's duty to accept this light willingly.
No. This sentiment is not appropriate, and it is even more incorrect. Because she is not yet the 'god of disobedience', Athena, and has not yet regained the status of the Trinity Queen.
What remained in her ethereal memories was her mother's sigh, the queen's shame, and the old woman's wisdom.
In her mutilated glory, only the memory of rebellion against the sun ruled by her father, Zeus, the king of the sky, remained.
It's not close. As long as she retrieves the Stone of Gorgon, which represents the ancient 'serpent', she can become the real Athena.
Standing in the sea breeze, she searched for the breath of the 'snake'. Where is it? Where are you waiting for yourself? Westside? In the Far West, with that person?
She smiled faintly.
The Stone of Gorgon is near that familiar aura.
Sure enough, it was he who took away the 'snake', the last time I met the Godslayer, it was a long time ago, and the guy I last met was hundreds of years, no, thousands of years.
In the face of the approaching enemy, Athena's part as the god of war began to cheer.
After Kaneki learned that the name of the god of disobedience was Athena, the expression on his face began to complicate, not only because of the childhood feelings brought by the name Athena, but also because he knew Athena's power very well, although he didn't know how strong she was when she regained her power, but she was definitely the strongest enemy he had ever encountered, there was no doubt about it!
With the Stone of Gorgon in hand, he knew that Athena would inevitably follow the breath of the Stone of Gorgon to find herself, so he chose a place and waited here with peace of mind - Tokyo Tower!
At the same time, the Orthodox History Compilation Committee, Tokyo Branch.
When he first met Kaneki, he was very curious about his identity, and he also thought about checking the identity of the other party, but because of all kinds of busy things, he finally couldn't do it, but this time he met Kaneki again, and remembered the things that he had left behind, yes, he didn't go to the director's office to report the situation for the first time, but found the person in charge of the intelligence department.
"Mr. Gansu, it's really rare to come here, is there anything going on?"
The head of the intelligence department is a middle-aged fat man, although he looks ordinary, but he is also a well-known spiritual power in the neon world.
The composition of the Formal History Compilation Committee is very mixed, but the main body is mainly sorcerers and spiritual powers, and the rest are capable people recruited from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the National Diet Library, the Imperial Household Agency, the Shrine Agency, and the Metropolitan Police Department.
After greeting this person with a smile, Ganji Dongma explained his intention, and at the same time drew the image of Kaneki through sketching according to his memory, "Hirata, help me check this person." ”
Taking the portrait of Kaneki, Hirata looked at it, and then asked with a puzzled expression, "It's the first time I've seen you care so much about someone, is this one of your missing relatives?" ”
Ganji Dongma shook his head, "Don't be kidding, I always think there is something wrong with this person, he should be from the inner world, but I've never seen him in Neon, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Hirata also realized the problem when he heard this, and nodded, "Okay, I'll start arranging, there should be a result soon, even if he is from abroad, our database should also have information about him." ”
As Hirata handed over Kaneki's portrait to his subordinates and began to compare them one by one from the database, almost all the people in the inner world were included, but there were still no qualified people.
"Minister, all the comparisons have been completed, but no match has been found."
Hirata and Ganji Winter Horse are confused, and there is no match in the database? Either there is no such person in the world, or this person's information is not within the scope of authority.
"Using advanced privileges?" Hirata asked.
Ganji Dongma hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Check it..."
Open the match again, including the S-class database, this time it was very smooth, and within a few seconds, Kaneki's information appeared on the big screen.
However, when these materials appeared, everyone was shocked with no blood on their faces.
"Seventh..."
