Xuan Yu'er looked around, and the beautiful scenery along the way raised her eyes.

"Is there anything else you need to go to besides there?" Su Man pointed to the palace and asked.

"I'll take a look......" Zhong Tao opened the small book he carried, which recorded some locations, and then asked Su Man for a copy of the book that had been burned before, and said: "There are ancient palaces everywhere here, because Crete was very rich at that time, and at the same time, according to historical inference, Crete is also one of the earliest birthplaces of human civilization.

These Cretans had close ties with Egypt and Babylon, which were highly developed civilizations at the time, and on this basis, they gave rise to a unique civilization called the 'Minoan civilization'.

In 1500 B.C., the largest volcanic eruption and earthquake ever struck the holy island not far from Crete, and it is recorded that the billowing smoke made the surrounding sky disappear for five days. It is estimated that the resulting tsunami was 50 meters high and soon swept through Crete, flooding palaces, sinking fleets and killing and wounding countless people......"

Reading this, Zhong Tao stopped, then looked up and said to Su Man: "Don't you think this account is very consistent with the incident of the sinking of Minoan that I learned in Atlantis?" ”

Su Man nodded: "Well, I noticed." In other words, Minos is the holy island of Crete, while Atlantis is the holy island of Minos, and only certain times and people can enter it at a certain time. Therefore, the Minoan civilization has been inherited here, but it has been cut off from the underwater holy land. ”

"It makes sense as soon as you say it, and it's really a civilization of the same lineage." Xuan Yu'er seemed to understand what she said.

"Still, I'm afraid there aren't any relics we need." Su Man thought for a moment and said.

"How so? Isn't this a connection to the previous place? Xuan Yu'er was puzzled by this.

"Yu'er, what do you think! Associated ruins may be hinted at. But will there be two relics of the same civilization? It's not that I haven't absorbed it, but it's not that I can't look for it, I'm afraid I can find some other clues here, and maybe it's a hint of the next location. Su Man smiled after explaining to Xuan Yu'er.

"Yes, yes, okay! I'm not interested, though. Xuan Yu'er lost interest in the place where there was no longer any mystery.

"Yu'er, there is a legend here...... Wan Haoqi hurriedly said when he saw Xuan Yu'er's listless look.

"Legends? What do you say? As soon as she heard the story, Xuan Yu'er came and asked with interest.

"I don't know if you've heard of the origin of the Aegean Sea?".

"No, no. Tell me about it! Xuan Yu'er didn't care if others had heard of it or not, so she hurriedly urged.

Wan Haoqi told Xuan Yuer about this mythical story:

It is said that Zeus, the king of all gods, fell in love with the princess Europa. In order to avoid the harm of Hera, the queen of heaven. Zeus turned Europa into a bull.

He crossed the sea to Crete and gave birth to two sons. Later, the youngest son, Minos, became king of Crete, and the country became known as the Minoan Kingdom.

Poseidon, the god of the sea, asked King Minos to worship him with an ox as a sacrifice. King Minos refused the sea god's request because his mother was a bull.

Poseidon was enraged and seduced. The queen who bewitched Minos fell in love with a bull and gave birth to a bull-headed monster: the Minoan.

This monster is cruel by nature and has to eat living people to survive, and Crete has been in a whirlpool of terror ever since.

King Minos was reluctant to starve his son to death in order to bring peace to the country. Build a labyrinth of countless palaces, with twists and turns in the road, and no one can get inside. In the depths of the labyrinth, keep the Minoan in the center. Then let the other subjects conquered by the Minoan kingdom send boys and girls to feed the Minoan cattle at regular intervals.

The city of Athens was also one of the subjects conquered by the Minoan kingdom at that time. Therefore, every year, we have to send boys and girls as sacrifices.

this year. It's another year of worship for boys and girls, and the parents of boys and girls are terrified.

Theseus, the son of King Aegean of Athens, saw people suffer such misfortunes. He decided to set out with the boys and girls, and vowed to kill the Minoan ox.

The people of Athens bid farewell to Theseus and the seven pairs of boys and girls in a cry of mourning.

Theseus made a pact with his father if he killed the Minoan cow. On his return, he turned the black sails of the ship into white sails. As long as the black sails on the ship turned white, it proved that the Aegean king would be able to see his son Theseus again.

Theseus led the virgins ashore in Crete. His handsomeness attracted the attention of the daughter of King Minos, the beautiful and intelligent Princess Ariadne. When the princess learned of Theseus' mission, she gave him a magic sword and a ball of thread to prevent Theseus from being harmed by the Minoan Bull.

When the clever and brave Theseus entered the labyrinth, he tied one end of the ball of thread to the entrance of the labyrinth, then let go of the ball of thread and walked along the twisty and complicated passage to the depths of the labyrinth. In the end, he found the monster Minoan, grabbed the minoan by the horns, and killed the minoan with the sword given by the princess.

Then Prince Theseus took the boy and the girl and walked out of the labyrinth along the path of the ball of thread.

In order to prevent the pursuit of the Minos king, they scuttled the bottoms of all Cretan ships on the seashore. With the help of Princess Ariadne, they escaped from Crete and set sail for their homeland.

After a few days of sailing, I finally saw Athens again. However, Princess Ariadne did not return with him, and the depressed Theseus forgot his agreement with his father and did not change the black sail to a white one.

The king of the Aegean, who was looking forward to his son's return, committed suicide by jumping into the sea when he saw that the returning ship was still hanging with black sails, and thought that his son had been eaten by the Minoan cow.

In honor of the Aegean king, the sea he jumped into has been called the Aegean Sea ever since.

After telling the mythological story, Xuan Yu'er sighed.

Wan Haoqi thought that she was lamenting the tragic fate of the mythical characters in the end, and was trying to comfort her, but she didn't expect Xuan Yu'er to speak: "This king is really a quick temper, can't you wait to come back and talk about it?" ”

Wan Haoqi asked with a black line: "Yu'er, don't you think this story is very touching?" ”

"Okay, right? But I'm interested in that labyrinth. Xuan Yu'er replied.

"It's a pity it's just a myth." Wan Haoqi replied.

"Who said it's just myths and legends, in the archaeological excavations of Crete, there is a ruins of Knossos, which is said to be the mythical and legendary Minoan labyrinth." Tian Xinyu suddenly interjected.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go! Xuan Yu'er said excitedly.

"When it's dark, what else can you wait for? Besides, we don't know where the ruins of Konossos are, so we'll look for them after we've been to the ancient castle of Chania. Su Man replied to Xuan Yu'er with amusement.

"Alright! So who has any stories to tell? Jokes are fine! It's boring to sit like this! Xuan Yu'er sat on the stone and said to everyone.

A few more jokes and stories were told to pass the time.

By noon, they didn't go down, everyone ate a little casually on it, and it wasn't until the evening that the crowd below had returned to the base one after another, and the team came down from the cliff.

The man who had reported to the base's administrators early in the morning went back to report again.

"Didn't find it?" The manager in the seat asked.

"No, sir. Probably they were just passing by, and we searched all the places where we could land. The visitor replied solemnly.

"Well, then don't worry about this matter, let's concentrate on this rat infestation task!" The manager said to the man.

"Yes, then I'll go back first." After the reporter finished speaking, he left, but what he didn't expect was that the team did not take the usual path and climbed the cliff.

As everyone went down the mountain and found a place to eat, the team walked along the city to their destination according to the route they had planned from above.

There are still people on the road, but compared to the dense crowd during the day, there are few now.

kept dodging, and everyone followed through the streets and alleys. Walk through the street garden to the main pedestrian street, and then walk through a building and walk through the promenade, and outside the back door is a quaint lion's fountain, and the water is brought up from the foot of the low-water mountain.

Continuing on, you will see a street entrance, and after turning this street, there are some shopping streets, lined with famous shops. However, zombies are still rare, and the quiet streets are very depressed.

Turning another street, the group stopped at the edge of a house.

"The place I saw during the day should be the front, but there are so many people over there!" Zuo Ning checked the map and whispered to Su Man.

"You wait for me here, I'll go over there and have a look." After speaking, Su Man ran out like a shadow.

"If we can all be as fast as the vines, we won't be afraid of being discovered by others." Zuo Ning said enviously as he looked in the direction where Su Man had no trace.

Su Man came to the front, looked at the roof above, and then grabbed the roof and looked down. I saw a group of people talking about something around a pit, but no matter what Su Man said, he couldn't understand it, so he had to put his eyes into the hole.

Immediately, Su Man saw that there were a lot of gold coins in the pit, but at the same time, it was accompanied by a large number of bones.

I don't know what kind of place it is, why so many people are watching. Su Man thought in his heart.

At this moment, a jar below was pulled up with a rope by a man next to the pit, and then a man climbed up from under the pit.

It was a jet-black clay pot, and then the man carefully wiped the soil off the top of the jar with his hands, and the edges of the jar revealed some symbols.
