Chapter 1217: Transaction with the Eye of Dark Night

The "elevator" rose higher and higher, and the statue of the goddess Athena had already landed on the ground of the underground palace.

As the "elevator" rose, the torches below quietly extinguished, while new torches were lit above Shi Lei's head, which made Shi Lei once again sigh with emotion at the power of the ancient Greeks.

When the "elevator" finally stopped, Shi Lei saw that the roof of the underground palace was at most three or four meters above his head.

And here, it is much smaller than below. There is only about a dozen square meters of space around it, most of which is still covered by those mechanisms.

Just where the "elevator" stopped, Shi Lei saw another wrench-shaped object.

He knew that this must be a mechanism to open the passage above his head, but at this moment, there was only one torch left burning above him, and the light was not enough, just enough for Shi Lei to see the location near the wrench.

Shi Lei quickly turned on his flashlight and looked around to make sure there was no danger. He also found a stone staircase similar to the one he saw when he entered the Temple of Hephaestus.

Shi Lei didn't hesitate anymore and pulled the wrench. He saw the mechanisms around him starting to operate, and there was still the clicking sound in his ears. Then, enough light flooded in from above his head, which made Shi Lei close his eyes for a moment. As for his eyes, he hadn't been exposed to natural light for several hours, and his eyes were really not used to it at the moment.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The time was 7:40. In twenty minutes, the Parthenon will open its doors to welcome tourists from all over the world.

Shi Lei climbed up the stone ladder. As soon as he pressed his hands on the ground above the stone ladder, he heard the clicking sound of machinery running again from below.

Looking down, I saw that the previously sunken stones were slowly rising. It seemed that the stone slabs near the exit, just like the stone slabs at the entrance to the underground palace, were mechanisms to close the passage.

He didn't care whether there would be guards patrolling the hall. At this time, if he didn't go out, he might never be able to go out again.

Shi Lei used his hands and feet to leave the underground palace. Not long after he climbed up, the ground returned to its original appearance.

Moreover, the surrounding sand and stones are slowly gathering here, filling the gap at the entrance, making it impossible to tell that there was once an exit of the passage here.

There were footsteps not far away, and Shi Lei hurriedly hid behind a stone pillar. He saw two guards doing the final inspection before the tour started. Fortunately, the two guards did not notice Shi Lei's presence.

Soon after, the guards left and Shi Lei sat down behind the stone pillar.

He sorted out all the information along the way and was extremely excited. He unexpectedly found the original statue of the goddess Athena by accident.

Although it was obviously not something he could take away, Shi Lei believed that if there was anyone in the world who could hide this statue from the Greek government, it would be the Eye of the Night.

After a while, the Parthenon opened its doors and tourists entered one after another. Shi Lei mixed in among the tourists and left calmly.

Back at the hotel, Shi Lei first caught up on his sleep. After getting up in the afternoon, he directly dialed Wei Puti's phone number.

"You really have an extraordinary sense of smell. We just found out that the ferryman's last consortium is indeed in the United States, and you called?"

Shi Lei ignored Wei Puti's teasing and said with a smile in a very good mood: "I'm not doing it for the ferryman, but I have made a major discovery."

Wei Boti was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What discovery?"

"I know where the statue of the goddess Athena is, and it is absolutely guaranteed to be the original."

Of course Wei Puti couldn't understand at once. There were so many statues of the goddess Athena, so how could she know which one Shi Lei was talking about.

"What statue of the goddess Athena?"

Shi Lei explained with a smile: "It's the statue of the goddess Athena in the Parthenon built in BC."

Wei Puti was stunned again. She didn't know much about this, and immediately asked the people around her to inquire about this statue.

She was also shocked when she read the information about the statue.

"Isn't that thing damaged a long time ago?"

"It was not found. Of course, the history books can only think that it was destroyed. However, I discovered its existence. In fact, it was an accident. I originally thought I just discovered a small secret, but I didn't expect that this secret would be so big. . Moreover, it is not just the statue itself that is valuable, but the place where the statue is hidden also has considerable research value. "

"Where?"

"On the Acropolis Hill in Athens, archaeologists around the world would never have imagined that the statue of the goddess Athena, which they thought had been damaged in the course of history, was actually hidden under the Parthenon."

Wei Puti was also shocked and incredulous. Of course she understood that even the statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, which was not many years old now, was so interesting to the leader of the Eyes of Darkness, Bebeira. If she could really find the Parthenon, The original statue of the goddess Athena, what an amazing discovery it would be.

She asked eagerly: "What's going on? Please tell me in detail!"

Shi Lei laughed and said: "You have a good idea. I discovered this thing. Why should I tell you for free? Go and report to your leader Beibera and see what price she is willing to pay in exchange for it." This statue."

"Hey! This statue is so big, you can't take it away, right?"

"It's true that I can't get it away, but if I don't tell you how to get under the Parthenon, you can't blow up the Acropolis in Athens, right? Besides, no matter how rich you are, you can't blow up the Acropolis here. It is possible to buy the place. Therefore, the entrance and exit are very important. If the price is right, I will sell you the details!"

Wei Puti obviously wanted to say something more, but Shi Lei simply hung up the phone.

After checking the air tickets, there was another flight back to London that night. Shi Lei booked it immediately and went straight to the airport.

By the time he got off the plane, Wei Boti had also called. She said that Bei Bella was very interested in the statue and asked Shi Lei to set the price. This probably meant that no matter what the price, she must get it. This statue.

Shi Lei said with a smile: "To be honest, the possibility of getting it is not high. There is almost no possibility of this thing being taken away. However, you just want to study this kind of thing anyway. This thing is there and no one can take it away. Your leader can study it for a hundred years."

Wei Puti pondered for a moment and said, "You can make an offer."

"Upgrade my membership level to the same as Mr. X's." Shi Lei offered his psychological price without hesitation.

Wei Puti took a breath of air and said, "This is almost impossible! Beibela has long announced that there will never be a member of the same level as Mr. X in the organization."

Shi Lei smiled slightly and said calmly: "That was before. In the past, Beibela was still restricted by some people, such as your elders and the ferrymen who rose up later. But now, she has no restrictions. All the forces that might oppose her have been eliminated in recent times. So, don’t tell me it’s impossible. Bodhi, I don’t understand, who are you really? The identity of Hitomi member!”

Hearing this, Wei Puti couldn't help but blush slightly. Shi Lei was right, she seemed to have mistaken the role.

It's okay for her to treat other people with this attitude, but she shouldn't behave like this when facing Shi Lei.

That’s all for today, the updates I owe will be made up tomorrow.

Author's Note Yesterday, it was very similar to the situation Shi Lei was in after entering the tunnel. He had no way to go to heaven and no door to the earth. It took him until after five o'clock to finally smash the door. Now in the author's study, there is a huge hole where the door lock is, and the door is considered scrapped.

Yesterday someone said to hire a locksmith, but it was really useless because the lock was broken and the locksmith could only remove the damn lock while the door was open.

Of course the study has windows, but the author's house is on the sixth floor, and I am not a trapeze artist after all.

In order to kill this door, the author's hands and feet are still sore and numb to this day, and he has not been so tired in how many years.

I have tried my best to write these four chapters of updates today.

Damn door.
