It seems that when this tunnel was originally designed, it still left the function of being an escape route.

The reason why a few people will fall down the stone gate after passing is that when they escape, a few people on their side will pass through this stone gate as soon as possible, and even if the pursuers behind find here, it is absolutely impossible to know how to pass through the stone gate, which not only plays a role in their own escape, but also traps the pursuers in this tunnel.

It's just that after the design of this dungeon was completed, it was obvious that there was no incident that required the use of this passage to escape.

Shi Lei didn't have much time to think about this, he had now come to the real underground palace.

This underground palace is a little smaller than Shi Lei imagined, and the area is not so huge.

It is about three or four hundred square meters, and when Shi Lei shines a flashlight, he can see all kinds of mechanisms.

Shi Lei walked to the edge of the dungeon, and by the light of the flashlight, he saw that those mechanisms were really exquisite, and each part was different.

There are metal, wood, and rock.

The point is that the parts fit together to a commendable degree, even if measured by the mechanical thinking of modern people, this is at the top of the physical state.

And this was built by the ancient Greeks more than 1,000 years ago, and in terms of its craftsmanship alone, ancient Greece was not listed as one of the four ancient civilizations, entirely because its inheritance was broken.

Shi Lei raised his head and shone the flashlight in his hand towards the top of his head, but he almost didn't see his head.

The Acropolis Mountain is not high, and this underground palace is obviously directly leading to the top of the Acropolis Mountain from the ground or even underground, with a height of two or three hundred meters, which also causes Shi Lei to not see the situation at the top clearly.

Shi Lei changed the mode of the flashlight to the strong light mode, but as soon as he turned it over, the flashlight flashed a few times and it dimmed.

The power of the flashlight is no longer enough to turn on the bright light mode, which means that even if it is used as a normal flashlight, it can only last for dozens of minutes.

Shi Lei must find the exit of this underground palace immediately, otherwise, even if there is enough oxygen here, he will not be able to survive, and after there is no light, Shi Lei can only have a black eye here.

Along the surrounding mechanisms, Shi Lei began to look for it.

As he walked, Shi Lei suddenly had garlic under his feet and almost fell to the ground.

But just when he barely stood firm, he felt a slight light in front of him, and then he saw an amazing scene.

A lamp......

No, it was a torch that ignited on its own, and then, about two meters away from that torch, another torch was lit......

The torches were about two meters above Shi Lei, and there was almost no way for normal people to reach those torches.

Then, in the entire underground palace, the torches were lit one after another, and soon they formed a circle.

Not only that, but after a circle of torches was lit, another torch was lit about three or four meters above it.

Similarly, around a circle, the torches were lit in order, and soon, the dungeon, which was not too big, was brightly lit.

Shi Lei sighed at the exquisite design of the ancient Greeks, lowered his head, and saw that under his feet, what tripped him just now was something similar to a wrench.

This thing is a bit like a trigger on the railroad tracks in the past, and it is clear that this was left behind by the people who designed this dungeon in the first place, so that their own people can have plenty of light after entering the dungeon.

Shi Lei extinguished the flashlight, and then finally saw the whole picture of the entire underground palace clearly, and what he saw before was only a part.

The entire underground palace is indeed only three or four hundred square meters in size, and the surrounding organs alone occupy more than half of the area. It's just that the mechanisms are all exposed, connected by ropes and chains, and it looks as if you're standing inside a super bell.

Then, Shi Lei looked up, and he noticed that there was a huge object above his head, which was suspended in the air.

From Shi Lei's current angle, he couldn't tell what it was, but from the bottom, it looked a bit like a huge statue.

Above the head, along the inner wall, there are also various mechanisms, densely packed and exquisite, and it seems that these mechanisms are used to hang the incomparably large statue, and are responsible for raising and falling it.

created such a huge mechanism, just to hide such a statue, Shi Lei's heart suddenly gave birth to a strange thought.

This statue can't be the original statue of the goddess Athena, right?

Shi Lei retreated to the edge of the mechanism, and still couldn't see the statue clearly, but he could see that the gold was shining on it, and it seemed that many parts were inlaid with gold.

This made Shi Lei feel more and more that this was the original work of the statue of Athena.

However, the joy of discovering the original statue of the goddess Athena did not last long, and Shi Lei soon realized that what he needed now was to find a way out of the underground palace, rather than caring about whether the statue was originally hidden in the Parthenon.

Shi Lei immediately searched for it in the underground palace, he walked to the other side, and soon saw something like an elevator.

It is said that it is an elevator, but it is actually more like a cage, more like a machine that can be built vertically for construction in some construction sites.

At the bottom is a fence about half a man high, the top is simply built with a few pieces of wood, and the top is connected with metal chains.

Shi Lei knows that yes, this is an elevator more than a thousand years ago, these mechanisms, obviously, in addition to being able to hang the statue, also have a function, which is to start this "elevator".

Walking to the front of the "elevator", Shi Lei once again saw an object similar to a wrench, this object, as long as someone stood in the "elevator", it could be easily pulled off.

Shi Lei climbed onto the "elevator" without hesitation, and then he pulled down the wrench.

With the sound of clicking machinery, Shi Lei felt the "elevator" under his feet swaying slightly, and then began to slowly rise.

At the same time, the huge statue also began to slowly descend from the top of Shi Lei's head, and Shi Lei soon saw the soles of the statue's feet, and then the waist......

Ivory, gold......

Especially with the hand stretched out, in the palm of the hand, there is also a small statue. How much was this the same as the miniature version of Athena he had seen in the Parthenon?

Shi Lei rose higher and higher, while the statue got lower and lower, and Shi Lei finally saw its face.

He was completely sure that this was the statue of the goddess Athena that was originally located in the Parthenon, Shi Lei did not hesitate to use a chance to identify the card, and a hazy light appeared in front of his eyes, and it flashed dark purple.

This made Shi Lei easily judge that this statue was an antique from at least 2,500 years ago, and judging by the brightness of the brilliance, the value of this statue was at least tens of billions of dollars.

To have such a high value, there is no doubt that it can only be the original statue.

At the beginning, Shi Lei just came here for the mechanism, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, maybe it was really possible to hide the twenty-three calligraphy and paintings needed for the black card here.

But now, he realized that this was the place where the original statue of the goddess Athena was hidden.

It seems that more than a thousand years ago, the architect who rebuilt the temple of Hephaestus hid the statue of the goddess Athena in the belly of the Acropolis in this way, but for some reason, this secret was not passed down. 10
