Carol, your sister is here!

But it didn't make her mood better, and she fell ill several times. After that, they also regarded her as a fragile doll and only held her at home. After the inexperienced brother Ryan found out, he first reprimanded Roddy and Carol, feeling sorry for her being bored at home, but sensible enough to never mention going out, so he bought her a lot of travel brochures and magazines.He often hugged her sadly and apologized: "I'm sorry, Kathy, my brother is busy with work and can't be by your side often." How could she blame her brother who loves her so much?

Her wish since she was a child was to be healthy, so that she could travel around the world alone, be a donkey friend, climb the mountains, cross the rivers by boat, and enjoy every detail of the magnificence of the world, and taste those things comfortably. Attractive food, know how to cherish the beauty of life and experience the value of happiness.Unexpectedly, the first step of her journey to view the scenery turned out to be on the ancient sea of ​​the Qinqin, Minoa, the last lost bright pearl in the mysterious and ancient Greek civilization, and its supreme temple.

Finally, she arrived at the Aoyuan on the top floor of the temple at the slow speed of her stepping back and forth.Seeing that she was very interested, she couldn't stop looking at the big bull's head decorated at the door, but she didn't know that as soon as she turned her head, the secret military port was on the right.She is like this, always only focusing on what she likes, but can't grasp the key points.However, during this period of observation, she also had a rough understanding of the beliefs of some Minoans: they believed that the world was composed of three major elements, namely the sea, the sky and the land, and they believed in the god Zeus and the goddess.And they like to arrange religious buildings in the north.But more details, she is not clear.

Minos didn't disturb her ecstasy, and only asked the leading priestess to wait for a while, and couldn't help but suggest: "If you like it so much, why don't you stay in Minoa?"

Casey replied absent-mindedly: "Well, this place is very beautiful, but I still want to find my sister." The ancients were amazing, how could they find so many suitable stones to carve this giant herd of cows, and the head of the bull? Statues are much better than those murals.

"I can send someone to find it for you. Send more people to Egypt to inquire. Wouldn't it be safer and more efficient than you looking for it alone? You stay here, okay. My mother and I will definitely take care of you .”

Knowing that Minos was serious, Kathy replied sincerely: "You are right, but besides looking for her, I have to find my way home, and the only clue is in Upper Egypt. No one can do it for you, thank you for your kindness." If you guessed right, the key lies in the Nile River, and she couldn't just say that she came from thousands of years later, right?I am afraid that he will be killed as a sacrifice.This secret about her identity, even if she trusted Minos, she did not dare to challenge the power of the deep-rooted belief in his heart.

But she didn't know that the other party had already given her the identity of the daughter of the river god.Although she was vague, he was even more sure of her extraordinary background.It turned out that she wanted to go back to her mother!Then you can't let her go.

Minos didn't ask any more questions, anyway, he had already made up his mind.

The author has something to say: In order to avoid being ugly, I moved half of this chapter to the empty 31

This is the leading priestess

奥院

32 Go to Aoyuan

Following behind the priestess who led the way, Casey suddenly remembered something, and asked Minos in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing the spirit of Vulcan living under the island: "Shouldn't we go to meet the Queen Mother first? I remember you said Here she is."

"After the mother opened the Aoyuan, she ordered someone to receive us, and then she went to the palace at the bottom to discuss political affairs with the ministers. After all, the ceremony is not over yet. We will not bother her." Minos lied without changing his face, In fact, he knew in his heart that the topic of discussion between the empress mother and the confidential minister was probably his marriage with Casey.

The various palaces of the Aoyuan are separated by layers of thick doors. When each door is opened, there is a surprise like unwrapping a Christmas gift.Walking through the treasure house excavated from the huge rocks excavated when the palace was built on the mountain, even the feet are full of trophies of the Minoan kings of the past dynasties. The most striking thing is the golden head, decorated with pure gold Became a bull. "You guys really have a soft spot for the bulls," Casey said. "That's amazing!"

"That's because both the bull and the eagle are symbols of Zeus, the lord god who guards Fire Island."

"Yeah, I know this too. I read Greek mythology," Casey quickly added, "I remember that you also built a temple in the Dikty Cave where Zeus was born, right?"

"That's right, there was a god sacrifice ceremony a few days ago, but it's a pity that you were sick and didn't go."

"Hey! It was the time when I sprained my ankle. Don't mention it, I feel heartbroken when I think of missing that great event." Cassie made a joke, and Kathy realized Minos tonight The mood seemed to be particularly good, and the smile on her face never disappeared, but she didn't know why, she always felt creepy.

Who cares, what's there for her to do?The most valuable part of the whole body is the clothes, which they changed for themselves when they first came up.The second is the golden pot filled with coffee beans, which was also given by Minos.Or it was the little dagger and watch she brought from modern times, which never left her for a moment.But these are very few people who know the real function, at most they think it is a very rare thing; secondly, the other party can't covet her little things, not to mention anything else, just roll and place in this treasure house at will The objects are enough to reflect the wealth that Minoa collected from the seaside countries.Her worries were unnecessary, just as absurd as a beggar worried that a passing king would snatch his bread.Thinking of this, she felt relieved again.It really is too much to worry about.

Passing by several treasure houses of the same size and similar size, Casey found that there was no light on the road ahead.She grabbed Minos' hand holding her with some fear, and before she had time to ask, she saw the priest who had just led the way out of the next doorway.Her attire is the same as before, except that her hands are now half-raised to the sides of her shoulders, the left palm is holding a dish containing incense, and there are four burning lamps on her head, and she asks for instructions with a solemn expression: "Please allow I will lead the way."

Minos gave her a slight nod, and she walked forward slowly.

Although Kathy doesn't believe in any religion, the atmosphere is so solemn that even she can't help feeling a sense of awe: the faint candlelight dimly reflects the strange statues carved on the wall And the golden animal statues that can be seen faintly around, what smells from the end of the nose is the faint fragrance, so quiet that only the 'rustling' sound of the clothes slipping across the stone floor and the shallow breathing of the two people can be heard, everything is in harmony. It looks mysterious and sacred.Reminiscent of Sith bringing her to this era with the magical power that cannot be explained by scientific theories, she faintly felt that there really seemed to be that ancient mysterious power in it.

Sensing that Kathy was deeply shocked, Minos quietly explained to her: "This is the vow road for exchanging vows." Use * to cherish, support and protect each other.It's just that it's inconvenient to explain the deep meaning to her now.

Although Kathy thinks the name of this corridor is very romantic, when Minos explained the vibration of Fire Island as "the god of fire is blessing our Minoan people", she deeply realized how romantic the ancients were. Broad, so I didn't pay special attention to this special name.Before Minos could speak again, she was attracted by a golden candlestick with a unique shape and exquisite inscriptions. She pulled Raminos's sleeve excitedly, and she pointed to it quietly: "Look , this candlestick is so special." Minos quickly grabbed her who was about to get closer, "Be careful that there are dark steps under your feet, don't fall." Fortunately, he moved quickly, otherwise she might really have to fall in front of the dimly lit steps. After a fall, the sprain will be healed by then, and a new injury will be added.

Realizing the little danger just now, she stuck out her tongue guiltily, she was really carried away.Somewhat annoyed by her impulsive behavior, she lost the interest to take a closer look, and then just continued to follow obediently, no longer thinking about making moves.At most, I would look at the exhibits in various shapes under the hospitable introduction of Minos, who was not used to her being completely quiet and looking listless.Minos used to come to the temple here with the Queen Mother to pray for blessings. He is very familiar with the history and sacred objects of these royal families, and he can talk about them casually, which is also the result of countless times the Queen Mother instilled relevant knowledge in him. .

It's like being in an ancient museum!Thinking of this, Casey couldn't help but sneered and glanced at Minos who was next to him. This is really the most expensive tour guide and commentator.

After Minos explained the origin of the golden tortoise just now, the guide stopped, and saw that she didn't know what mechanism she was fiddled with, and easily opened the bronze door inlaid in the rock wall at the end: "Next This is the treasure hall of the royal family, please come in."

"Ah, from now on, it's the palace of treasures of the royal family." Casey was really shocked: "Then those just now don't count?"

But how could Minoa, a country as rich and beautiful as it is with a brilliant and complete civilization, be so completely wiped out in the dust of history?In the twentieth century, the only ruins of ancient Greek civilization she saw were those broken tiles and pillars that fell to the ground like building blocks kicked over by children, and the huge palaces all disappeared.
