Chapter 430: In Athens
…
In fact, when Fanlin explained everything clearly to Sirius, Sirius naturally felt relieved.
There is no trace, so this matter has no impact on Fanlin at all.
However, even if Sirius is worried, isn't there nothing he can do about it?
No matter what happens, the final decision is still in Fan Lin's hands.
"Why did you come here?" Fan Lin asked, "Shouldn't you be staying in the UK?"
"Dumbledore didn't tell you?" Sirius turned around and said, he was taking Fanlin through the city of Athens.
Everything here seems to bring people back to the Greek architectural complex in ancient times.
Here, Fanlin rarely sees anything like the high-rise buildings in London.
In fact, the architectural arrangement of Athens is very obvious. It is a city located on a hill, and the Acropolis in the center is Fanlin's final destination this time.
The Acropolis is the most outstanding ancient building complex in Greece. It is a comprehensive public building and the center of religion and politics. The Acropolis of Athens covers an area of about 4km and is located on the Acropolis hill in the center of Athens. It was built in 580 BC. The earliest buildings on the Acropolis were the Temple of Athena and other religious buildings. The Acropolis of Athens, also known as Acropolis in Athens, is "Acropolis" in Greek, and its original meaning is "city on high places" or "city-state on high hills".
The Parthenon is located in the center of the ancient castle on the Acropolis of Athens, the capital of the Greek Republic, on a limestone hill. It stands as a towering rectangular building. The temple stands on the highest point of the Acropolis.
Fanlin has searched for traces of the Parthenon in mythology. The Parthenon is also called the Temple of Athena and is dedicated to Athena.
It is said that in ancient times, Athena and Poseidon, the god of the sea, always competed to be the protector of the city. Poseidon gave humans a horse, which represented perseverance and strength; while Athena gave the people an olive tree, which represented prosperity and peace. The people thought Athena's gift was more meaningful, and eventually Athena became the city's patron saint, and the olive leaf became the mascot of Greece.
Fanlin looked up and saw the center of the Acropolis, which is the highest temple. This is almost the ultimate belief of Athens.
Compared with other major gods in Greek mythology, Athena's existence has always been the most widely spread in human life.
The name of Athena, the goddess of war, is naturally based on her superb wisdom and prowess.
What is left that Fanlin is concerned about is Mount Olympus, the residence of the gods.
Coming to Greece always makes people unable to help but recall those beautiful myths.
"Fan Lin... Fan Lin..." Sirius called softly.
"Oh...I'm here." Fan Lin shook his head quickly. His eyes were always staring in the direction of the Acropolis. Unknowingly, his thoughts followed the vicissitudes of the building and recalled his memories. Athens bygone times.
"I didn't find anything there. They were all Muggle buildings, and there wasn't even a trace of magic fluctuation."
"The absence of magic power fluctuations is a very strange thing in itself." Fan Lin shook his head, "No matter what it is, wizards can always find the attributes inherent in the material, either innate or endowed."
"Is this the alchemy you learned?" Sirius asked, "You really know a lot."
"Tell me, why did Dumbledore send you here?"
"I don't know much about some of the tasks." Sirius said, "It's basically asking me to accompany you and protect your safety. After all, I don't have much to do in the UK."
"bodyguard?"
"You speak so harshly." Sirius said, "This is a task assigned by Dumbledore. He should have told you."
"No, in fact, Dumbledore just sent me a letter to Nicolae Flamel, telling me that he wanted me to come to Athens."
"Indeed, Dumbledore is always like this." Sirius said, "I was also called here suddenly. There was no news before that. It seems that Dumbledore discovered something in Athens."
Sirius looked at Fan Lin carefully. He didn't quite understand why Dumbledore wanted to find Fan Lin and come to Athens alone. Moreover, Sirius was not a fool. He really didn't find anything in the Acropolis. Just some Muggle buildings.
Sirius was a little confused as to what Dumbledore was planning, and the task that Dumbledore gave him was not just that. He was not sure whether Fan Lin was really suitable to join them at such a young age.
"You should know something, right?" Sirius asked, and he led Fan Lin into a small road. They couldn't always wander around Muggles.
"If Dumbledore didn't tell you, I don't think it's appropriate for me to say it, and I just have some clues, but I don't understand what Dumbledore found at all. Just before this, I said about Athens The attitude of Acropolis is still the same as yours, in fact, it is still the same now.”
Fan Lin spoke slowly. As he hurried on, he continued to search the surroundings with magic power, expecting to find some clues. However, to Fan Lin's disappointment, there were just some ordinary things here.
"You have really learned Dumbledore's style." Sirius said.
"He always treats everyone like this, so I know very well what to say and what not to say, but everyone trusts Professor Dumbledore, right?"
"He is a trustworthy person, from the beginning to the end." Sirius nodded. Sirius still trusted Dumbledore 100%.
Not every wizard can stand up and organize people to fight Voldemort. At that time, Voldemort had caused too much damage to Britain.
"I think you don't need to emphasize this. If Dumbledore is not trustworthy, or if he has some other ideas, I would not have the opportunity to learn alchemy with Nicolas Flamel."
"He is really hard to figure out." Sirius shook his head helplessly.
The two people quickened their pace. Under the leadership of Sirius, the two people kept turning around in Athens.
Most of the road they passed by still retained the architectural style of Athens in the past, and the winding mountain road was paved with thick stone slabs, and people did not feel too tired when stepping on it.
Perhaps it was a problem of Apparition, Sirius had already taken Fanlin for a long distance, and finally the two of them turned into a small alley, and at the end of the road was a higher level of rock. (To be continued)
