The arrogance of the city

Chapter 704 Athena
Because it was dark and the distance was too far, although He Caiwei felt that it should be a person, she was not sure.

The scene before her couldn't help but remind her of the story of the ancient legend of the Dragon Kingdom, the story of Bodhidharma breaking a reed to cross the river.

But this is in reality!
Facing the vast sea, can anyone really cross it with a single reed?
The black shadow gradually drifted away and gradually disappeared from the field of vision.

Although it rained last night, the weather tonight is fine, the moonlight is soft, and the Aegean Sea is calm, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

"……Did you see it?"

He Caiwei turned her head in a daze.

Li Futu asked calmly, "What did you see?"

"Just now, there... there was a person, just like that, floating past..."

As He Caiwei spoke, she felt like she was talking in her sleep.

"You may be dazzled."

"But……"

Although she finds it unbelievable, He Caiwei is sure that she is not mistaken, even if it is not a person, there must be something floating past.

"On the sea, the light is refracted, which can easily cause visual misleading. Some sailors who have been at sea for a long time have seen ghost ships."

One person may have hallucinations, but two people can't see it wrong at the same time.

He also saw it just now, and he saw it very clearly, but he certainly couldn't admit it.

It's not that the more you know about everything, the better. Sometimes ignorance is a blessing.

Nodding to admit that it is indeed a person, what good does it do He Caiwei?
It will only destroy her worldview.

If a person's world view suddenly collapses, the effect will be terrible.

He Caiwei frowned, apparently still unable to fully accept Li Futu's explanation.

She turned her head to look at the sea again.

But the sea was already empty.

"Okay, go take a bath, the sea breeze has been blowing for most of the day today, you are full of the fishy smell of the sea."

Li Futu closed the window.

He Caiwei's attention was successfully distracted.

She raised her arm and sniffed.

"Have it?"

"Of course you can't smell it yourself."

Li Futu smiled.

"Okay, let's go take a bath, it's getting late, why don't we save some time and take a bath together?"

He blinked.

"Aegean Sea, the Holy Land of Romance, let's flirt for a while."

"do not want!"

He Caiwei's face was rosy, and she didn't want to think about the shadow in the deep sea any more, so she hurried to the bathroom.

Li Futu didn't force others to do anything, he watched He Caiwei run into the bathroom, and had no intention of catching up.

Seeing He Caiwei lock the bathroom door, he turned around.look out the window.

On deck, Scorpio has also disappeared.

His eyes flickered slightly, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out his phone and looked at the date.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth raised slowly.

"It's interesting."

……

After all, the Triumph still failed to sail out of Greek territorial waters according to the established route, and stayed at a place two nautical miles from the border for one night, and then began to return.

outside of Athens.

The mayor of Athens personally rushed to the coastline to express his apology and deep condolences to the frightened passengers,
Tourism is the pillar industry of Athens, and the Athens government naturally has to pay attention to it, and it is also related to the issue of international image.

I went through a thrilling trip on the Aegean Sea. Although it was not as beautiful as I imagined, but as Cheng Caiwei said, it was a little more exciting, and at least it helped her realize a dream she had since childhood.

"Why is it so lively today?"

Returning to the city from the sea, He Caiwei found that Athens is a little different today, as if there were more people.

Li Futu didn't seem surprised, and said with a light smile, "Most people from all over Greece rushed over, so it's naturally lively."

"Why?"

He Caiwei looked puzzled and blinked her eyelashes: "Is today a holiday?"

Li Futu did not respond.

"Go back to the hotel and change your clothes. I'll take you to see the world later."

He Caiwei was startled, looked at the man who was pretending to be mysterious, and didn't continue to ask questions, and began to have expectations in her heart.

The two returned to the hotel and changed their clothes, and then had lunch at the hotel.

When they came out of the hotel again, they found that there were almost twice as many people in Athens than in the morning!
shoulder to shoulder.

Empty alleys!

Almost all of them travel with the whole family, and many children are carried on the shoulders of their fathers.

Although the flow of people was huge, they were heading in the same direction. He Caiwei remembered that it should be the direction of the Acropolis she had been to.

Moreover, these Greeks kept yelling something while walking,
Like gathering water to form a river, the shouts are like tides and waves.

The whole city of Athens seemed to be boiling.

Because there were too many people, He Caiwei hugged Li Futu's arm tightly, afraid of being scattered by the flow of people.

"What are they shouting about?"

She was curious, but she knew nothing of Greek.

Before Li Futu could speak, a luxury convoy came from the west on the road, all in black, solemn and deep.

He Caiwei was a little lost.

Seeing this convoy, she reacted belatedly. After walking out of the hotel, she didn't see a car on the street!

The hotel they booked was close to the Acropolis, and starting at noon, all streets within a five-kilometer radius centered on the Acropolis were prohibited from traffic!

This is an order issued by the Supreme Administrator of Greece.

And this convoy can ignore the ban, and its identity is naturally ready to be revealed.

This is the motorcade of the leader of the country, President Karpas!

Seeing the presidential convoy, the Greek people on both sides of the street stopped at the same time, waved enthusiastically to the convoy, with respect on their faces.

The window of a car in the most central position was lowered, and a man smiled and waved to the people on the street in response.

President, Capas!

The presidential motorcade passed by Li Futu and He Caiwei quickly, but when it reached an intersection ahead, it suddenly stopped inexplicably.

"Da da da da..."

In the south, there was a steady sound of horse hoofs.

Immediately, a gorgeous carriage appeared in He Caiwei's sight.

The shape of the carriage is ingenious, with a long sword and shield carved on the body, and the outside is covered by a layer of silver-white curtain, mysterious and profound.

The moment the carriage appeared, time seemed to freeze, and the originally noisy scene became strangely quiet.

In front of the carriage, there are four white horses without any variegation, covered in snow, tall and handsome, with thick hooves, like heavenly horses.

The carriage was driven by a man and a woman with outstanding looks. They ignored the flow of people all over the city and drove the carriage towards the east.

After the carriage passed by, the presidential motorcade resumed driving.

How could a carriage make way for the presidential motorcade?

He Caiwei's eyes were slightly in a trance, and she opened her mouth.

"...Who is... in that carriage?"

Li Futu looked at the direction in which the carriage was going away, and spoke softly.

"Guardian of the country."

"Goddess of Wisdom."

"...Athena."
