Chapter 52 Forbidden Land of Light and Shadow

The middle-aged man walked towards us staggeringly, holding a thermos in his hand, and the water system in it told me that it was unsweetened espresso now.This man had some neutral marker pens pinned to his chest, his face was a little swollen, and his eyes, which seemed to be caused by severe bags under the eyes from lack of sleep, stared straight at me and walked over—then turned from the gravel on the ground A bend went in another direction.

With a long sigh of relief, I just relaxed.A chuckle came from beside me, I raised my head, and a serious but gentle face faced me—Tian Ye nodded to me, and a faint smile floated in his eyes as deep as the night sky.

"As expected of the king of the Empire of Shadows, he is good at hiding himself in darkness," the Sea Emperor said without admiration: "Hehe, although he has the power to calm the world, he always likes to hide in the shadows to avoid the limelight. Like a bat in hiding."

Hearing my knowing laughter, Tian Ye, who had already walked a few steps, turned his head and looked at me with a cold face: "Are you still in Na Luo's body? When will you go back?"

"Hmph, the more he said that, the more I wanted to return to my physical body." Narumi sighed leisurely in my heart: "My goddess, if I regain my physical body, I will restore everything in this world to you." Bring it to you. And that guy can only give you a graduation defense certificate every six months...Think about it, and stay with us in the future."

Smiling wryly and shaking his head, these two guys are always competing.But there is something more intriguing to me ahead.The moment I opened my eyes from the teleportation discomfort, the Parthenon Temple suddenly appeared in front of me. It was much taller than I imagined, but it was even more dilapidated than my impression.The toppled white boulders fell scatteredly on the ground, and on the still standing Corinthian stone pillars, the grooves carved thousands of years ago are still perfect and clear.I know that in this temple known as the Diamond of Western Classical Architecture, which seems to be composed of straight rectangles and triangles, there is actually no real straight line. Every sideline of it is an arc. When they stand here, they run through the past and reach my eyes.

The pure white temple stands quietly and grandly, using the most simple charm to show the indescribable sense of holiness, and each huge stone pillar exudes the unique reverence and nobility of the gods.

Perhaps, I am the only tourist in this century who entered the Acropolis at night, and I was invited by the goddess Athena herself.Thinking of this, my mood became extremely excited.Across the field ahead, I ran briskly towards the holy land of my dream. I wanted to take a good look at this place where the purest aesthetics gathered.

"It's so dilapidated." Compared to my excitement, Narumi's voice was extremely disappointed: "During the time when the Protoss was asleep, the Venetian attack in 1687, and the British garrison in the 19th century Those two sabotages by Ambassador Elgin of Tandinople almost completely destroyed our temple..."

Knowing that he was feeling sorry, I tried my best to change the topic: "Narumi, have you been here before?"

"Here... once, when they placed my altar."

"Ah?" I couldn't figure it out, isn't this the holy place of Athena, how could there be altars of other gods, I stopped, and I started to look around: "Where is it?"

A line of water suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, and then it fell straight on the ground, smashing out a layer of dust.Crouching down, I struggled to discern this soon-to-dry image in the night—the water drew a rough arrow under my feet, toward the north wall of the temple.

With a heartbeat, I suddenly realized the ultimate purpose of this trip.

The Acropolis is not a place that I subconsciously think is only dedicated to Athena, it is also dedicated to other gods, I heard about that place when I was studying classical aesthetics, and this fact will always be in the Parthenon Ignored under the dazzling light - there is a comprehensive temple on the north side of the Temple of Athena!

Erehetho, the temple with the perfect statue of the priestess as a colonnade.It fully demonstrates the democratic, or smooth, place of the Athenians. In this temple, other gods including Poseidon are enshrined. As an accessory building of the Parthenon, it will not affect Athena's Dominance, and showing favor to other gods with a friendly attitude.

And what made me so enlightened was an abnormality in the temple's architecture. I remembered that it was mentioned in the literature that the roof of the temple was missing, not because of war or lightning strikes, but because of...

Below it is planted the first olive tree that Athena gave to mankind!The entrance to the Sea of ​​Olives must be in that place.

As if urged by Athena, I started to trot, and Tian Ye followed me, and I looked back at him: "Tian Ye, I think I know..."

"Well, slow down, Nalo." He handed over the branch in his hand: "Hold this, the key to the city within the city."

I stretched out my hand, and the moment I took the olive branch, I touched his fingers, which gave me a slight chill.Among the pillars that were turned orange by the warm light, the gentle and firm eyes of Pluto, whose black hair fluttered, looked into my heart.

Turn around and continue running to the agreed place, Athena, here I come.

Entering the north, I immediately feel that I have stepped into a strange place. This obvious feeling suddenly appeared when I was running, as if I stepped over and found that I came to another space.

"I feel it, it's Athena's protective enchantment!" The dormant god in the body felt the abnormality of the space together with me: "Naro, this is here."

Standing in the empty field between the temples, there was nothing but gravel here, I stopped and looked around, Tianye rushed over and stood beside me. "Nothing..." As I said this to him, out of the corner of my eye, the olive branch pattern on my arm seemed to stretch on the skin, and before I could move my gaze to it, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

"Close your eyes!" Haihuang yelled in my ear.

"Ah!" I turned my head and turned my body as fast as I could. The intense light almost burned my eyes. Suddenly, a hand held me, and then, the light seemed to disappear suddenly.

A warm and fresh musky smell was floating, and then, a pair of solid arms tightly protected me behind my back, and pressed my cheeks against something.

Field, field?

"Don't open your eyes! This ray of light is the God's Realm Stone that can blind humans!" Tian Ye's voice came clearly through his chest. He pressed my face against his chest and blocked the light with his body. Dazzling light: "This is the edge of the goddess' enchantment. If humans trespass, they will be deprived of their vision."

Being hugged by him vigorously, I could barely breathe, struggling to breathe through: "What should I do now?"

Covering my face with one hand, Tian Ye said softly, "Don't worry, the light will gradually fade after about 20 seconds..."

My limbs were stiff and held in the arms of Pluto, and my mood could no longer be described by the simple word "chaos".This is the second time, and the more I try to avoid him, the more new situations arise that push us together.

However, this hug is very warm...

Pluto... is someone Nalo can trust.

The Emperor of the Sea suddenly became courteous, and reminded in a low voice like a waiter: "Just to excuse me, the light should stop... Do you need a long time? 172, 174, 175..."

"Narumi, what are you counting?" My eyes were blocked, I couldn't see anything.

The Sea Emperor said in a relaxed tone as if he had just stretched his waist: "I'm counting your heartbeats, my goddess."

Black line... This guy, I found that under his noble appearance, he also hides a mischievous heart: "Narumi, what are you talking about?"

Pushing Tian Ye away vigorously, my face was very hot, and Tian Ye's face was also slightly red.

"How dare you... go away, kid!"

"What are you thinking again?" Tian Ye grabbed my shoulder and shook violently, "I didn't do anything to you with such an expression..."

"Okay, I didn't say anything!"

"The change is so great, have you all learned to think wildly?"

"What's the change, young man, you won't be able to crawl when I can walk, don't talk to me like an old man!"

"It's such a touching scene~~~My goddess, you two really love each other right now, if you don't doubt it yourself, others will gossip about it..." There were still people making trouble on the sidelines.

I was about to organize the most vicious language to fight back against them, but I was stunned by the situation in front of me.

"Trees... woods! Olive groves!" I grabbed Tian Ye by the shoulders and turned him around: "Look, the sea of ​​olives!"

Trees, clumps of trees suddenly appeared behind the field, and there were hundreds or thousands of dense trees.No, they are not real trees, but a forest of nothingness intertwined with light and shadow - every leaf, every branch, every root system is composed of faint light, but has no substance, and can be seen through them In the distance, there is a temple taller than Parthenon standing in it.

"Quick, Nalo, enter Athena's holy place!" Tian Ye urged, but stood still.

I looked at him in confusion: "What's the matter, Tian Ye?"

Tian Ye stretched out a finger, as if touching a piece of transparent jelly, the space between us became turbulent, blocking his hand from the outside.

"What's going on?" An invisible isolation zone appeared between me and him at some point, and I took a step back. I could come in and out freely, but he couldn't.

"This is a place where only girls are allowed to enter. Poseidon, you must protect her, and I will be on guard here." Tian Ye's tone at the moment was commanding, with an irreversible sense of determination, and he put his hand in the air. on the partition: "Be careful, Nalo, no matter what you face...be strong!"

I don't know why, but I always feel worried under his hesitant expression.

I stretched out my hand and patted his palm lightly. I turned my head, passed sideways through the trees of light and shadow, and ran towards the temple in the distance.

"Got it, don't worry."

Goddess who protects me, I have come to my appointment.
