Chapter 51 The City Within the City

Athens at night, under the grand black sky, there are still lights.

The city known as the land of stars can't see a few stars - just like every international city, when human beings develop superb lighting technology, they also lose the opportunity to look up at the faint stars in the starry sky.

An old-fashioned taxi passed me slowly, and the driver inside cast a questioning look at us, and I shook my head at him--Greeks take shaking their heads as an affirmative answer, but in the cosmopolitan Athens, Shaking your head still means it means globalization, negation.

This is Syntagma Square, known as a transfer station for tourists. It is already the darkest night before dawn. Although the nightlife of the Greeks only starts at 10 o'clock, it is already this time, and some tourists are still sleepy. Sleepy eyes are dangling.From here, you can see the hill that is only more than 150 meters high, and the white temple on it is turned into bright colors like Easter by colorful searchlights.

The Acropolis in the city of Athens, the city within the city.

Pulling his eyes back from the colorful buildings in mid-air, he sighed.I know that in ancient Greece, the extension of the temple was not the pure white seen today, but also decorated with many bright paintings.However, although such a modern lighting effect is beautiful, it loses the true meaning of the Acropolis as a model of classical beauty and becomes a nondescript city symbol.

A tourist in the distance yawned unscrupulously after stretching, and I subconsciously followed him and opened my mouth wide.

"What, are you tired, my goddess?" Before the words finished, a gust of cool rain and mist sprinkled on my face.

"Ah~" My spirit was lifted, and I shook my head: "No, I'm much better... Narumi, why did we come here?" The Acropolis is still far away..."

"Because more people are awake and working there than here."

I turned around, and the man standing behind me looked at me with concern, his eyes as deep as the night sky were so pure and penetrating that one couldn't bear to look away from his handsome face.Staring at him for a while, gently blowing away the hair that fell in front of her eyes, and then turned her eyes to his face again after moving her eyes elsewhere.

"Tch, I'm still here...Tian Ye, go back, rest assured that His Majesty the Sea Emperor is with me." Turning around and striding towards the hill, the voice called me weakly from behind.

"Naro..."

A little distressed - when he saw my cold eyes, he always had hurt innocent eyes, and I knew he would not leave.

Forget it, I'll always be soft on people with mild personalities.

Looking back again, Tian Ye smiled knowingly, and ran a few steps to my side. I turned my head, and he also squinted at me, looking very happy.Suddenly I felt very relaxed. When he was walking by my side, I realized how afraid I was to face the unknown by myself just now.

thank you.

The fresh air blows across the sea, and the long hair of the field flutters and intertwines with mine.It's all as black as the night sky.Fingers passed through the black silk, and it was cool for a moment.

"Athena...was there a hostile relationship with you? What kind of god is she?" Realizing that I am in the middle of the two camps, I can't assume that if I recognized them a few years ago, On whose side will he stand; and after everything is over, what kind of expression will he use to face them... Kang Cheng can do it, but I can't.

Tian Ye didn't answer right away, we walked side by side for a while, and he suddenly said to me: "The first time I saw you was the day Athena was born."

"Huh?" I stopped and blinked—that was something in the age of mythology.

Immersed in remembrance, a gentle smile flickered in Tian Ye's eyes, he also stopped, put his hand on his chin and recalled: "I remember the first sentence I said to you was: 'You, you should also Take a few steps, God of Hope'."

"A~~~" I was stunned. Could it be that, as Thanadus said, I was lured back by putting it in his pocket?

Seeing me in a daze, a smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth. "You know, Nalo, your current appearance is changed according to my wishes. When I first met you, you were just a diamond clasp without a real body. So I hope you are a girl , and have fair cheeks and black hair like mine..."

Black hair, and a body by the will of Hades.What is he talking about... I'm confused.And Tian Ye also seemed to realize that he was leaking my past life memory, and after making a gesture of silence, he kept silent.

But this guy's expression is obviously very proud and he said... By the way, do you think you are Snow White's mother?

Going forward, the towering hills are like a barrier in front of you, and above it is the holy land of Athena.I ran my finger across the pattern on the arm, and I looked at the handsome man: "Tian Ye, you said we are friends, is it like this before?"

"Yes." The man next to me will always use the shortest words to answer what I need to know.Pluto has a delicate face, soft and quiet.When he is silent, it feels like he is silently guarding the mountains of the winter lake, but in the next second his smile will be full of hyacinth-like flowers.He was always gazing at something, surrounded by that gaze, and felt his intense emotion.

Smile, even if I forget everything, I will remember this sentence - we are friends.

There is only one mountain road to reach the Acropolis, and the daily visit ends at 3 pm. In such a late night, the only access has been closed.Not only that, I learned from the news that a large number of archaeological experts are working day and night in the Acropolis to restore those historic sites.

"There seems to be no reason... All the bricks here have been turned over and marked..." Biting my fingers, I tried to recall the relevant records of the Acropolis in my brain: "Athena's temple is the only one in Greece. Where?" The theater on the other side of the mountain seemed even less like the place I should go.

"If it was thousands of years ago, that girl's shrine could be seen everywhere," the Sea Emperor smiled softly: "There are even ports. But now... the world has changed a lot during the time we were sleeping. Most of the things were destroyed, and the rest were moved to the museum. If she wants you to go to her temple, this is the only place."

After thinking about it for a while, I continued to ask: "Then is there any possibility that she will build her own sanctuary in a hidden barren mountain, exactly the same as here, and let some soldiers protect it..."

"That's a cartoon." Tian Ye, who was walking in front, turned around, shook his head slightly, and briefly interrupted the only feasible hypothesis in my poor IQ.

"What manga?" Narumi asked.

"Oh, by the way, there is also Narumi's chapter in it, saying that you locked Athena in a pillar, and then poured water into it to drown her..."

"Hmph, such a slow way of killing...I wouldn't do that to a child," Haihuang's voice was full of nobility, he paused and then smiled: "Is my image handsome? Have a chance to see it .”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, guessing that if Lord Neptune saw himself dragging Athena to drown in the comics because he became angry from embarrassment because the proposal failed, I don’t know how he would feel... It seems that my thinking is off topic again ...

"It's not just Poseidon, it seems that I'm one of her fighters...and then betrayed?" Tian Ye pointed at himself with a finger.

I nodded: "He is a very weak person, always crying, and will call his brother to help him solve his troubles. Later, you put Athena in a jar to bleed..."

"Really... Anyway, I read it many years ago, I didn't pay much attention to it, and I forgot."

This guy is clearly avoiding the facts.

"So complicated?" Narumi said with great interest, "Pluto is a double agent? What is the jar?"

"No, no, that guy is the host of Pluto's soul, a warrior from Athena's side. And Hades possessed him because he cherished his body, and controlled the jihad, and later..."

Black line, I feel like my IQ is dropping drastically.

"Stop, what are you talking about! We didn't come here to travel and relax and complain about it, be careful that I exploded you with the Milky Way!" Oh my god!What am I doing, how can these guys take my limited thinking farther so easily?After a loud roar, someone in the distance glanced here, and the two guys stopped talking.

Chaos, I'm sure Athena is going to tell me something, but at least give me a place to listen to the oracle.

"Wait a minute," Tian Ye still held the bunch of olive branches in his hand, he frowned and walked towards me after thinking about it: "Naro, did Athena mention the name of her temple?"

Shaking his head: "No..."

"These olive branches are newly grown, but according to the current month, there should not be such fresh and tender new branches, unless they are from that place."

"By the way!" The Sea Emperor's ability was also stirred up: "I see, you mean that place..."

"Poseidon, do you still remember the rumors we heard back then—the city within the city of Athena." Pluto looked at the plant in his hand: "The holy place where olives grow..."

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" I waved my hand to stop the two voices: "What is a city within a city, Narumi, tell me."

The Neptune's voice was a little excited: "I think I and Hardy should be talking about the same place - olive trees are planted in front of Athena's temple, but there are rumors that there is actually a barrier hidden among the green leaves , Some people walked into the grove and found that there were as many olive trees as a forest, and there was a temple taller than Parthenon standing in it. I think the place she wants you to go is this city City of the Sea of ​​Olives."

Could there be such an incredible place?I looked at Tian Ye, and he nodded affirmatively.

"But where are there still olive trees on the Acropolis?" I shook my head. Although I had never actually been there, I couldn't see the trees in the photos of the documents I had read.

Narumi seemed to feel my disappointment, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, my goddess, although the bushes are gone, the barrier will still exist, we just need to find the door to enter."

"Ah, the door to enter?" I looked at the Parthenon surrounded by scaffolding - if there was an obvious door there, the archaeological community would have kicked the threshold.Besides, how can I find the door hidden in the void...

Tian Ye looked at Athena's Acropolis with certainty: "Go up and talk about it."
