The arrogance of the city

Chapter 699 The Battle of the Gods
The eighth day of the new year.

After spending the first week of the new year with Xiao Shu at home, Li Futu was ready to fulfill his promise and took He Caiwei on the flight abroad.

It's just that the destination of the two of them did not choose country M where the Statue of Liberty was located and country F where he and Qin Yuyi stayed for a day. The destination of their first stop was the birthplace of Western civilization—— Greece.

He Caiwei chose this place, because she watched a TV series when she was a child, and the story all revolved around the Aegean Sea, so she always wanted to visit the Aegean Sea, and the Aegean Sea is located on the east coast of the Greek Peninsula.

After more than ten hours of flight, the two landed in Athens, the capital of Greece.

Arriving at the hotel with a suitcase of luggage, Li Futu didn't shy away from anything, and only booked a room.

Originally, he planned to let He Caiwei rest for a while. After all, the flight of more than ten hours was very hard, but He Caiwei was in good spirits. It may be the first time to go abroad, and it is such a romantic and classical country. It was clear that she was very excited.

Li Futu didn't force her to stay in the hotel either.

Perhaps the whole of Greece does not have as many people as a city in the East China Sea, but this country has a very high status in the West. It is known as the birthplace of European philosophy and has had a major impact on European and world culture. It also gave birth to Socrates, Plato and a large number of famous historical figures have been passed down through the ages. It can be said that the democracy advocated by the West originated here.

As the capital of Greece, Athens has a history of more than 3000 years. It still retains many historical relics and a large number of works of art. Walking on the streets of Athens, looking at the completely different style of architecture from China, He Caiwei's face The smile never broke.

"It turns out that this is Greece where so many myths and legends were born."

"In fact, if you study architecture, you should come to other countries to see their buildings. Although you can find pictures on the Internet, the feeling is still quite different from witnessing it with your own eyes."

It was dusk.

There are many Greeks on the streets.

Li Futu and He Caiwei with black hair and black eyes are very eye-catching.

But the people in Greece are very friendly, and they will nod and smile friendly when they look at them.

Li Futu and He Caiwei also responded with a smile.

When you come to Athens, you can't miss the Acropolis, which is listed as one of the new seven wonders of the world.

The two didn't invite a tour guide, but rented a sightseeing car and came to the most outstanding ancient buildings in Greece.

"You have to take a closer look, even in the whole world, you can't find such a great place, which can definitely inspire your architectural inspiration."

Standing in front of the Temple of Zeus, Li Futu expressed his feelings.

The Acropolis of Athens was built in the 5th century BC. It is a collection of ancient Greek architecture and sculpture art. The main buildings that exist today include the Mountain Gate, the Parthenon Temple, the Erektheion Temple, and the Erechtheon Temple... These ancient buildings are unquestionably called human heritage and architectural masterpieces. They have an important position in the history of architecture. It can be said that it is a blessing for all mankind that they can be preserved to this day. For people who study architecture like He Caiwei, they are especially precious. ,
Zeus is the god of the gods in Greek mythology. His temple is located in the southeast of the Acropolis, in the middle of a vast flat land by the Irisos River. This place is full of yellow hills.

And on the left, there is the Dorian Parthenon, the marble gate Propylaia, the Temple of Elekutei...

Walking around the Acropolis, Li Futu introduced He Caiwei one by one, as if he had lived in Athens for many years.

"How do you know the origin of these temples so clearly?"

He Caiwei couldn't help being surprised.

"I am erudite and know everything."

Li Futu smiled and said, "There's a saying that goes, if you know astronomy and geography, if you know how to raise children, it's me."

He Caiwei gave him a blank look.

"rogue!"

Li Futu smiled brightly.

Walking and walking, the two unknowingly came to a pile of ruins.

After a long period of time, the other temples have been damaged to a certain extent, but they are generally intact, but only this place has become a ruin.

He Caiwei couldn't help but stop.

Li Futu said softly: "This is the temple of Apollo, the sun god."

He Caiwei turned around.

"But why is it the only one here that is completely destroyed?"

"Because, back then, there was a battle of the gods here."

Li Futu stood in front of a ruined wall, facing He Caiwei sideways, causing He Caiwei to not be able to fully see his expression.

"Battle of the gods?"

He Caiwei's eyes were puzzled, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Gods also have desires. Apollo, the sun god, is a vivid representative of them. Greece is too small. After he became a god, he felt that Greece was not enough to accommodate him, so he chose to deviate from his beliefs and his country, so Naturally, he is not qualified to enjoy the offerings of the Greek people."

He Caiwei asked in a daze, "Is there such a word in Greek mythology?"

Li Futu turned his head and his expression returned to normal.

"No? Maybe the version we've seen is different."

He smiled, "Let's go."

He Caiwei frowned and looked at him, thinking he was a bit strange, but didn't think much about it.

Passing by the completely destroyed Temple of Apollo, and moving forward, you will come to the very center of the Acropolis.

Here stands a tall stone statue made entirely of Pontelic marble. She stands at the highest place in Athens, with long flowing hair and deep eyes, overlooking the whole of Athens.

"You should know who she is?"

This statue is very tall, about thirteen meters high, equivalent to a four-story modern building. Behind the statue is a sacred veil looted from a temple in Jerusalem.

When the statue was built, the architect planned the surrounding changes very precisely, including the light shining on the statue. In order to make the face of the statue more beautiful and bright, a large and shallow one was built in front of the statue, which was inlaid with black The marble olive oil pool uses olive oil to reflect light. Even when dusk is approaching, the face of this statue is full of divine brilliance.

Standing at the foot of the statue, Li Futu looked up slightly to see her face.

This posture made him look up at each other.

He couldn't help touching his nose.

"I know."

He Caiwei didn't feel any discomfort, she raised her head and admired the other party's demeanor.

"She is the patron saint of Athens, Athena."

Athena.

Gods in ancient Greek mythology.

Known as the goddess of wisdom.

It is also the patron saint of the city of Athens.

In Dragon Country, everyone calls it... Athena.

"Then you definitely don't know that she destroyed the temple of Apollo herself."

The corner of Li Futu's mouth was playful.

Nothing he said was a myth.

He was present at the battle of the gods that took place in Athens that year.

Originally, he just came to watch the battle, but he didn't expect that that battle would engulf him by mistake, so that it became his... Battle of the Conferred Gods.
