Bricantes gritted his teeth, his face full of indignation and unwillingness, and he pounded his chest hard, letting out a roar. But no matter how he struggled, Lin Bai's hand wanted to tighten his neck like a steel cable!

"Lord Priest, I'm useless, I'm ashamed of you!" After Bricantes swayed from side to side and couldn't break free from Lin Bai's palm, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, looking at Minerva unwillingly, his voice was full of desolation!

I didn't expect to lose so simply! Minerva looked at Bricantes and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The ancient Chinese martial arts and physiognomy are mysterious, Bricantes, your defeat at the hands of this distinguished guest is not a humiliation, and it is your honor!" ”

"Athena is not only the goddess of wisdom, but also a goddess of war! Bricantes obviously doesn't believe in wisdom enough, so you might as well make him believe in war and killing, so it's more appropriate! Lin Bai looked at Minerva and said in a deep voice: "And the god of war is a symbol of perseverance, how can you easily defeat Bricantes!" ”

Minerva frowned, then a soothing smile appeared on his face, shook his head and said softly: "I have been blinded by the night, but I have forgotten that Athena is still a god of war, stand up, from now on you will be by my side, called the god of war of the temple, and defend the glory of the gods!" ”

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he bowed sincerely to Lin Bai, and then Huo Ran got up, clenched his fists, staring at the distant sky in the distance, and the war in his eyes was rekindled!

By the end of the battle, Lin Bai's strength had been proven, and Minerva was convinced that Lin Bai could indeed become his ally. Shen Xiaoyi, Shang Zhuocai, and Sophia saw the people in the temple for the first time, and they were led by Bricantes to visit the sculptures and artworks that remained in the temple. And Lin Bai and Minerva went to the temple of Athens on Mount Olympus.

It was evening in the city of Athens, and the golden setting sun gilded the white limestone of Mount Olympus with a golden glow. A few birds croaked and flew over the top of the temple, and at the highest point of the Acropolis, the Parthenon stood in silence, even though it was full of years, but it could still glimpse the heyday of the temple!

Lin Bai sat on the limestone steps of the Parthenon, lit a cigarette, then glanced at the Minerva beside him, and sighed: "No matter how prosperous the temple used to be, but now it is in ruins, just as the glory of the gods once shone on Mount Olympus, but now it has entered the twilight age of the gods!" ”

Minerva's incomparably beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, turned her head to look at Lin Bai, and said softly, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Don't worry, I definitely don't mean to blaspheme your goddess Athena, it's just a little emotion that suddenly rises in my heart when I see this once glorious ruins!" Lin Bai said softly.

Minerva turned her head to look in the direction of the setting sun and smiled: "The Acropolis was once the pride of the Greeks, and Athens was once one of the economic and cultural centers of the world, but now it has become a city that is about to fall silent!" As you said, it is already the twilight of the gods, but I believe that the faith in our temple will not be broken, and every Greek will find a home! ”

"I hope so!" Lin Bai said with sincere emotion that today's Greece is very similar to China more than a hundred years ago, both of which have the precious heritage of their ancestors but are unable to forge ahead. Huaxia has awakened now, presumably Greece will not sleep for long, after Lin Bai sighed, he changed his words and said: "Lord Priest, now you should tell me why you are looking for me!" ”

"Actually, I did want to ask you for something when I came to you, but if you think about what I mean, Mr. Lin, you should already know it!" Minerva smiled slightly, and said calmly.

Lin Bai shook his head and said softly: "I don't have the power of a prophet like you, and we are already allies now, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"It's a long story, I'll take you to a place, and you should know what I mean!" Minerva frowned, then turned and walked towards the ruined Parthenon.

Lin Bai stared at the ruined temple, really couldn't figure out what would interest him there, but seeing Minerva's mysterious appearance, he followed her. Walk up the dilapidated stone steps, continue down the perimeter of the Parthenon, and then come to a desolate and remote place halfway up the mountain!

Lin Bai turned his head to look around, it was a cut halfway up the mountainside, and further on, there was a bottomless cliff, but Minerva's figure stopped in front of the cliff.

Lin Bai looked at Minerva and chuckled, "Don't tell me there's another Parthenon on this side of the cliff!" ”

"Not bad!" Minerva nodded, then reached out and grabbed a raised rock on the stone wall, and after rotating it left and right, the stone wall behind Lin Bai slowly moved away, revealing a long corridor paved with ancient marble, Minerva pointed to the corridor and said softly: "The real Parthenon is inside!" ”

A Parthenon built in the middle of a mountain, Lin Bai's interest suddenly hung his wine glass. This is something that no one could have imagined, and if this matter is known to the archaeological community, it will undoubtedly set off a huge wave, and I am afraid that archaeologists from all over the world will flock to study the secrets!

"Your temple is really powerful, such a big secret can be tightly covered. Every year, there are many people from all over the world who come to Greece to visit, and there are no fewer people who come to this Parthenon, but I am afraid that no one would imagine that there is a Parthenon under the ground they are stepping on! Lin Bai looked at the long stone steps and sighed softly.

Minerva walked inward on the stone steps, and said with some pride as she walked: "This is nature, we are the guardians of the gods, we have guarded the goddess Athena for generations, and we have guaranteed that the last glory of the gods will not be cut off in this world, how can such a secret not be hidden!" ”

The Parthenon underneath is actually one with the temple on the ground, and although the part that exists on the top of Mount Olympus has been destroyed, the underground is still intact! After Minerva walked into the corridor, she turned the switch, and the torch in the temple suddenly burst into flames, illuminating the reliefs on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor!

The reliefs on the stone wall are carved with various deeds and legends of the goddess Athena, as on the ground, which records the story of Athena and Poseidon, the god of the sea, fighting for the naming of the city of Athens, but unlike the above-ground palace, this underground palace is more about Athena's exploits in the Battle of Troy!

Legend has it that Athena's active performance in the Trojan War made her a god of war even more famous than Ares. Her Trojan horse scheme was also one of the main reasons for the final victory of the Greeks. But Athena is different from Ares. Ares is war-hungry and fights for war, while Athena, though she is the god of war, loves peace and fights for peace!

"The skills of the ancients are truly breathtaking!" Lin Bai looked at the patterns on both sides of the corridor, his heart was full of shock, and he was shocked to find that from the moment Minerva stepped into this corridor, the aura on her body began to become more and more solemn, and the whole person was even more holy and incomprehensible, and every move revealed a sacred aura!

"This temple must not be easy!" Sensing the change in Minerva's aura, Lin Bai understood that this temple was probably the same as the hall inherited by the Huaxia Physiognomy Sect, and there was a magic circle engraved on the ground, so it could allow the inheritors to increase their internal abilities and show miracles!

"Here it is, this is the most important place in the underground Parthenon!" Minerva turned his head to look at Lin Bai and said softly.

At this time, he had already reached the end of the corridor, here was a huge oval dome space, after estimating the area of this hall, Lin Bai was speechless, this underground Parthenon was probably hollowed out the entire belly of Mount Olympus.

In the center of the main hall is a huge stone sculpture of the gods, surrounded by a statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, wearing golden armor and holding a huge shield. Looking at these huge gods, Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart.

However, this awe is not for the gods in the hall, it is already the end of the era of the gods, and what is there to be in awe of Lin Bai in a temple that is shrouded in no divine will. What he was in awe of was the skilled craftsmen who built this temple back then, and it must have taken countless manpower and effort to build such a huge scale of sculpture in the middle of the mountain!

"This is the underground Parthenon!" Minerva turned his head to look at Lin Bai and said with some pride.

The architecture of this temple is the same as the Parthenon on the ground, the only difference is that the temple has escaped the fire of war and the theft of the crazy tomb robbers of Europe, and it is still intact, as if it had just been built, and each sculpture still shines brightly.

Lin Bai followed Minerva up the stairs and walked to the center of the temple. In the center of the temple is a snow-white marble with a statue of Athena, about 12 meters high. The whole statue is made of wood, decorated with gold and ivory, garments of gold, and skin of ivory.

Athena wears a battle helmet and is in a heroic posture, with her right foot standing upright and her left knee slightly bent, and her posture is dignified and elegant. There are 3 figurines on the top of the helmet, with a Sphinx in the center, flanked by a griffins with the head of an eagle, and a gorgon on the chest. She held the Statue of Victory in one hand and the shield at her feet in the other.

The shield is not only entrenched with a serpent that stalks the priest Laocoon, but also depicts the Greeks fighting the Amazons. The shield is also carved with statues of the sculptor Phidias himself and the Athenian consul Pericles, both of whom are throwing their weapons at the enemy.

"According to historical records, this statue of Athena has not been destroyed in the artillery fire of the Byzantine Empire, why is it still here?" Lin Bai looked at Minerva with some surprise and asked softly.
