Chapter Seventy-Four: The Governor's Residence

The explorers looked at each other uneasily, whispering, and the forest was filled with a low hum. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of them couldn't understand the meaning of the two titles, but at least, they knew very well that they were the heads of the cavalrymen and knew what they meant.

"What you have in front of you is a precious ancient ruin, which belongs to Theros. ”

The lion-man's mount is a giant lion, a feline that jolts the rider on his back until he gets dizzy and vomits when he runs. Still, the terrifying oppressive force is impressive as it walks past explorers at a leisurely feline-like pace.

"Please get out of here in an orderly manner. ”

This phrase almost created a riot among the explorers.

Unfortunately, the explorers had no confidence in front of the knights, and they just bowed their heads and muttered about turning around to leave.

"Che, I really thought it would be great to ride a lion, but if you don't have an army, you're nothing. ”

That's what all explorers are saying, but no one can hear it.

The order created by the army with blood was beyond imagination, and the explorers not only did not resist, but did not even make a small move, they turned a blind eye to the opponent who had just been killed and died, quietly passed the avenue where the cavalry rushed in, and left honestly.

The knights watched the scene quietly like sculptures on the side of the road, until only the last group remained on the hillside.

"Professor Magellan. ”

The young lion man jumped off the lion's back, and he walked towards Magellan with a smile on his face.

"It is an honour to meet you, Your Royal Highness. ”

"Call me Aladdin. ”

The Lionman made no secret of the excitement on his face, he was the younger brother of Caliph Ajani, but the two had many differences.

"That's the statue of Athena...... Incredible!"

Magellan carefully observed the expression on the young man's face, doing his best to see a little more clearly, but not wanting to make himself appear rude.

After losing his memory, he began to do a lot of things that he wouldn't have done before. Many times, he is indistinguishable from before, but the difference is not non-existent.

"I know you, Professor Magellan......" the smile on the lion's face was sincere and warm, "It's a pity I couldn't see you that time, I'm an admirer of Byron......"

The prince pulled out a booklet from his pocket.

"This is the manuscript of the Earl of Byron. ”

He seemed to be trying to keep his actions from showing off, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Magellan completely ignored this, he took the thick booklet, read only the first page, and returned it to the lion man with emotion.

"Breathtaking......"

"Haha!" the lion man smiled, he was visibly happy, and the shock on Magellan's face was visceral, "Actually, the reappearance of Athena's statue in the world is the real thrilling thing, I really, countless times have imagined it......"

Eventually, the prince looked at the goddess from afar and ended his exclamation with a sigh.

"You saved the statue, I dare say, the explorers will blow it up in order to snatch it. ”

"I'm not going to let that happen...... I won't. ”

It seemed to be a proclamation, and with that, the lionman walked towards the ruins of the temple, and he seemed to be impatient.

Covertly exchanged glances with Edward, and Magellan followed.

"Can you tell me how you found this place, Professor Magellan?"

"It's a long story, but it's short if it's short, and I dug up some clues, and that's the end result. ”

"Athena......" exclaimed as the lionman walked, "the most striking and glorious city-state of the ancient Theros gods, the guardian of Athens......"

Eventually, they stopped on a hillside, where they could get the most clear view of the statue.

"Great legacy. ”

"Can you tell me what you're going to take with you?"

Magellan looked up and looked at the lionman's calm gaze.

"Statue of the goddess of victory. ”

"The one on the shoulders of the goddess Athena?"

"No, the statue on the goddess's shoulder is no longer there...... Nothing made of gold is gone. ”

Aladdin's golden mane danced in the wind, and he looked at the tall statue, his tone full of emotion: "All the gold in the city of Athens was used for the statue of the goddess, and even the enemies of Theros, the Setessa, had countless merchants who transported gold into Athens. The goddess wore armor made of pure gold, adorned with precious stones, a wonderful white treasure was her skin, and some people even fell in love with statues......"

But now, the goddess in the ruins of the temple in front of them was a simple marble statue, no gold, no precious stones, and nothing as wonderful as a girl's skin.

The goddess was dressed in a simple white dress, and although she stood in a quiet posture, she looked like a warrior with terrifying powers, and she had only a flawless marble white, no armor, or even no weapons, but she was still a beautiful and majestic goddess.

"So you know where that gold went?"

"After the army of Settsa entered Theros, the Athenians financialized Yellow to buy weapons and armor for the warriors of the Alliance. And other things more valuable than gold have not been spared. ”

"Doesn't anyone know that a complete statue is more precious?"

"At that time, the Theros could not find many trade partners, and unfortunately, they all disliked Athena very much. ”

The young lion man shook his head and sighed lowly, his regret was heartfelt.

"And what do you want to take with you?"

"The records of the temple, there were many scholars among the priests and followers of Athena, who left valuable records in the temple, including the appearance of the goddess of victory. ”

"I'll let the army dig up the ruins for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness. ”

"But can you accompany me to Athens for a while before you find me?"

"Yes. ”

The lion man looked at Magellan and smiled: "I was really afraid of your refusal just now." ”

"You...... It's really different from your brother. ”

"Well," Aladdin looked up with a smile, "that's true. ”

......

Athens.

The Governor's Mansion of Theros is a place with little character on the outside, and the decoration is not ornate, except for the fact that it does not look good on the outside, but the interior of this building is not like that.

Magellan's current residence is a place decorated in the style of Alpha, opulent and comfortable. He was joined by Edward, Medea, and the Count.

A few days earlier, the Lion Prince's army had seized the ruins of the temple and began to excavate, and Magellan and the captain followed the prince himself back to Athens.

And here, the Count and the Witch had been waiting for them for a long time - the Governor's men had brought them here.
