Chapter 422: To Athens

In fact, Van Lin didn't have to wait long, and within a few minutes of standing in the airport hall, the air announcement had already urged him to board. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After agreeing to meet his friends at the Quidditch World Cup, Van Lin boarded the plane with a small bag.

In fact, Van Lin brought a lot of things, such as some experimental equipment or magic books, but with the help of Nicolamet, the space crystallization solved this problem perfectly.

The staff was transformed into a necklace wrapped around Van Lin's neck.

This looks really rich, a bracelet of a philosopher's stone, a staff necklace.

If Van Lin is fighting against people, the equipment advantage will become especially obvious.

Players of the two god costumes of the local tyrant.

This sentence is not too much to put here, or if Van Lin took out the Book of Abraham, there is no doubt that the magic in the Book of Abraham is very powerful ancient magic, and it is released with the Book of Abraham......

This is indeed a bit excessive.

Van Lin couldn't help but think that this was his first time doing an airplane, although he had already experienced the feeling of flying, but the altitude of a multinational aircraft was obviously not something that ordinary people could reach.

It's so cold up there that no wizard would ride a broomstick into a multinational plane.

Whether it can catch up is still a big question.

Van Lin had nothing to do, and couldn't help but start flipping through the books about Athens, which he had only seen in pictures before, but he had never been to before.

After leaving England, he only went to China and France, and there was still a considerable curiosity about Greek civilization, especially the Parthenon.

Listening to Nicolème, the focus of his trip was probably the Parthenon.

As for the Parthenon, in the Muggle world, the Parthenon is a valuable gem.

The Parthenon is the main representative of architecture and sculpture in the heyday of Greece, known as the "Greek National Treasure" and a shining pearl in the treasure house of human art. In the middle of the 5th century, the temple was converted into a Christian church and the idol of Athena was removed. After the Turks occupied Athens in 1458, they converted the temple into a mosque. In 1687, while the Venetians were fighting the Turks, artillery fire hit a powder magazine inside the temple, blowing up the middle part of the temple. In 1801-1803, the British nobleman Lord Elgin removed most of the remaining carvings, and the losses were extremely serious. Many of the antiquities that originally belonged to the temple are now scattered in the British Museum, the Louvre, Copenhagen and other places. In the second half of the 19th century, the temple was partially restored, but it has not been restored to its original appearance, and only a shell of stone pillars remains.

The Parthenon was officially inaugurated in 438 BC and was dedicated to Athena on the occasion of the grand Paranathane. The festival of Panatane is an important festival for the Athenians, during which sports competitions, singing and dancing events and parades through the city to the temple are often held. The highlight of the procession is a woolen robe woven by a maiden of the city of Athens hanging from the mainmast of a ship, which is carried on an ox cart and slowly moves towards the temple, where the woolen robe is finally offered to Athena. This was followed by a sacrificial activity, in which the sacrifice to the goddess was either a cow or a sheep. The selection of the animal is extremely important, it must be strong, healthy, free of wounds and defects. There are many scenes of worship to the gods on the many pottery vessels that have been excavated, but the only strange thing is that the scenes of slaughtering animals are always omitted.

The bones and fat of the sacrificed were piled on the altar and burned, and it was important that the smoke rising from here rose above the idol so that the god could fully enjoy the sacrifice. This method of worship to the gods is obviously very special, and according to legend, it was invented by Prometheus, who, after dividing the sacrifice, induced Zeus to choose the part of the bone and the oily flesh, leaving the essence of the flesh to humans.

I have to say that the Greek gods are still very good at playing, and they have also passed down a lot of myths.

It may seem that the Parthenon has been fully exploited, but the secrets hidden by the Parthenon are not limited to this.

The most famous building of the Acropolis is the Parthenon, which is a monument of ancient Greek architectural art and is known as the "temple of temples". The temple stands on the highest point of the Acropolis and is named after the worship of the goddess Athena. With the exception of the limestone foundations, wooden gates and ceilings, the rest of the temple is entirely made of marble quarried from the Panterico Mountains, including the roof. Panterico marble is white in color and slightly rough compared to the fine marbles of the island of Paros, so the Paros marble here is only for sculpture, and its smooth and flawless texture makes it particularly valuable.

What whole pieces of marble have Van Lin seen was simply difficult for the ancient labor force to do.

Undoubtedly, the sorcerers were the driving force behind the establishment of this temple.

The wizards of Greece held a very important position in the wizarding world, and most of them were priests, so to speak, similar to the Holy See.

The magic of a wizard comes from faith and devotion to the gods.

A bunch of dead gods, now that they are dead, what can bless their people?

There may be some who have found the remnants of the gods, but there is no doubt that their power comes from magic.

I have to say that the wizards of Greece are really quite persistent.

Compared to this, Van Lin was more curious about what Dumbledore found in Athens, the ruins of the gods?

Thousands hidden in the city of Athens and never discovered?

And the point of finger is the Parthenon, Van Lin does not think that the Parthenon has anything worthy of the attention of the wizarding world, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Greek wizards to let the Parthenon be managed by the Muggle world.

This proves that the existence of the Parthenon does not have much value to wizards, could it be that the Parthenon has something hidden.

After all, the inscription that exists in Parthenon and the divine pattern on the Heavenly Lock of Van Lin are very exhaustive, as if the Parthenon inscription was reborn and the divine pattern.

Van Lin felt that his mind was a little messy.

He couldn't have imagined what Dumbledore had found in the city of Athens, the ruins of Olympus, the remnants of the gods?

After all these years, it was impossible for the wizards of Athens to allow such a thing to hide under their feet.

The true temple of the gods has long since been destroyed, and with the demise of the dark plane, the world has begun to merge.

This is clearly pointed out to him by Edenn, so Van Lin does not think that the gods of Olympus can be spared, they can't hide at all, they have lost the dark plane, and the rules of the world do not allow them to survive like this.

Then, what Dumbledore discovered was naturally not a superficial thing, and Van Lin did not think that Dumbledore could be stronger than the Greek wizards of the past.

All of this must be connected to the chain, and the things contained in the divine pattern on it can be regarded as the foreshadowing left by Edenne?

Van Lin flipped his palm, and the mark of a chain naturally appeared in his palm.

"What a beautiful imprint. A female voice with a childlike innocence rang out from Van Lin's side.

Fan Lin glanced up a little confused, since he perfected the bloodline secret technique, the heterochromatic eyes that had followed Fan Lin for more than ten years had also become no different from ordinary people.

The aqua blue eyes are extraordinarily clear, like the purest mountain spring, and the nature that exudes is as moist as water.

What catches my eye is a little girl with black hair, just like the cuteness of all Oriental children, and her delicate face is particularly dazzling.

"What do you mean?" Van Lin smiled, and he raised his hand and stretched it out in front of the girl.

"Is this a birthmark? Or is it a tattoo?" the girl tilted her head and thought that she had just sat down, and the child's active personality naturally did not let the girl honestly take it down.

And Fan Lin is such an object, he doesn't seem to be at a beating's age, he looks very kind, and the girl's attention is naturally attracted by Fan Lin.

"That's ...... Birthmark......" Fan Lin's face was a little strange, such a strange birthmark was probably tattooed in his mother's belly.

"Birthmarks?" the girl obviously didn't believe it, but the tattoo was still not suitable for Van Lin's face.

"You're alone, I didn't see your mom and dad coming. The girl said.

"Yes, it's just me. ”

"Where are you going?" asked the girl, "that you can go out by yourself, and my mommy never lets me go too far by myself." ”

"That's because you're still young!" said Van Lin, who couldn't help but put his palm on the girl's head, who looked like a Chinese American, spoke English very fluently, or at least said that there was no problem in communication.

"You don't look much older than me, I'm six years old. The girl pouted, she wasn't very satisfied with what Van Lin said.

"Katie, what are you doing?" a woman walked over from a section of the plane, a graceful Oriental woman, no doubt the little girl's mother.

"Mom. The girl cried out, "This little brother next to me is flying alone." ”

"Alone?" the woman looked surprised, she obviously noticed Fan Lin sitting next to her daughter, she thought at first that the child's parents had gone to the bathroom, she never thought that Fan Lin was alone.

"Hello, ma'am. Van Lin hurriedly said.

"Hello. You can call me Lee. The woman said, "May I ask why you are alone?"

"It's just a flight, my dad still has a job, I don't want to trouble him, and I'm sure my relatives will pick me up at the airport in Athens, just fly in the sky for a while, so I asked my dad to drop me off at the airport and left. ”

"It looks like you're still an independent little guy. ”
