It seems that when this tunnel was originally designed, it still left the function of being an escape channel.

The reason why a few people would fall down the stone gate after the past was that when they escaped, the few people on their side would pass through the stone gate as soon as possible. Even if the pursuers behind found this place, they would never know how to pass through the stone gate. Not only did they play the role of escaping themselves, but they could also trap the pursuers in this tunnel.

However, after the design of this underground palace was completed, it was obvious that there was no incident where this passage was needed to escape.

Shi Lei didn't have much time to think about these things. He has now come to the real underground palace.

This underground palace is smaller than Shi Lei imagined, and is not that large in area.

It was about three or four hundred square meters in size. When Shi Lei shone it with a flashlight, he could see all kinds of mechanisms.

Shi Lei walked to the edge of the underground palace and, with the light of the flashlight, saw that the mechanisms were really exquisite, and each component was different.

There are metal, wood, and rock.

The key is that all parts are in a commendable state, even if measured by the mechanical thinking of modern people, this is still at the top of physics.

However, this was created by the ancient Greeks more than a thousand years ago. In terms of its craftsmanship alone, ancient Greece was not listed as one of the four ancient civilizations, because it was completely because its inheritance was broken.

Shi Lei raised his head and shone the flashlight in his hand towards the top of his head, but he almost didn't see it at all.

Acropolis Mountain is not high, and this underground palace obviously leads directly from the ground and even underground to the top of Acropolis Mountain, which is a height of 200 to 300 meters, which also makes Shi Lei unable to see the situation at the top clearly.

Shi Lei changed the flashlight mode to the strong light mode, but as soon as he adjusted it, the flashlight flashed a few times and then became dark.

The power of the flashlight is no longer enough to turn on the strong light mode, which shows that even if it is used as an ordinary flashlight, it can only last for dozens of minutes.

Shi Lei must find the exit of this underground palace immediately, otherwise, even if there is enough oxygen here, he will not be able to survive. After the light is gone, Shi Lei can only be blinded by his eyes here.

Following the surrounding mechanisms, Shi Lei began to search for them.

As he walked, Shi Lei suddenly felt a garlic mixed under his feet and almost fell to the ground.

But just as he barely stood firm, he felt a lit up in front of him, and then he saw an amazing scene.

A lamp...

No, a torch burned itself, and then, about two meters away from the torch, another torch also lit...

The torch is about two meters above Shi Lei, and normal people have almost no way to get to those torches.

Then, in the entire underground palace, torches were ignited one by one and soon formed a circle.

Not only that, after a circle of torches was lit, another torch was lit about three or four meters above it.

Similarly, around a circle, the torches were ignited in sequence, and soon, the lights were brightly lit in this not-so-large underground palace.

Shi Lei sighed at the exquisite design of the ancient Greeks and lowered his head. He saw that under his feet, what he had tripped him just now was something similar to a wrench.

This thing is a bit like a switch on the railroad tracks in the past. Obviously, this is left by the people who designed this underground palace to allow them to have sufficient light after entering the underground palace.

Shi Lei extinguished the flashlight and finally saw the whole picture of the entire underground palace. What he had seen before was only partial.

The entire underground palace is indeed only three or four hundred square meters in size. Those mechanisms around it occupy more than half of the area. However, the mechanisms are exposed, and are connected by ropes and chains in the middle, which looks like standing inside a super bell.

Then, Shi Lei looked up and noticed that there was a huge object above his head, hanging in mid-air.

From Shi Lei's current perspective, I can't see what it was, but from the bottom it looks a bit like an extremely large statue.

Above the head, along the inner wall, there are also various mechanisms, dense and delicate. It seems that these mechanisms are used to hang the extremely large statue and be responsible for raising and falling it.

After creating such a huge mechanism, just to hide such a statue, Shi Lei suddenly had a strange thought in his heart.

This statue is not the original work of the statue of Goddess Athena, right?

Shi Lei retreated to the side of the mechanism, and still couldn't see the statue clearly, but he could see that it was bright and bright, and it seemed that many parts were inlaid with gold.

This made Shi Lei feel more and more that this was the original work of the statue of Athena.

However, when he found that the original work of the statue of Athena did not last long, Shi Lei quickly realized that what he needed now was to find a way to leave the underground palace, rather than to care whether the statue was originally hidden in the Parthenon Temple.

Shi Lei immediately searched in the underground palace. He walked to the other side and soon saw something like an elevator.

It is called an elevator, but it is actually more like a cage, and more like some machines that can be temporarily built for construction in construction sites that can be vertically up and down.

At the bottom is a fence that is half a person tall, the upper part is simply built with a few woods, and at the top is connected with metal chains.

Shi Lei knew that it was right. This was an elevator from more than a thousand years ago. Obviously, in addition to being able to hold that statue, these mechanisms also have another function, which is to start this "elevator".

Walking in front of the "elevator", Shi Lei saw an object similar to a wrench again. As long as someone stood in the "elevator", he could easily pull it off.

Shi Lei climbed into the "elevator" without hesitation, and then he pulled off the wrench.

With a sound of mechanical operation, Shi Lei felt the "elevator" under his feet swaying slightly, and then began to slowly rise.

At the same time, the huge statue began to slowly land from Shi Lei's head. Shi Lei soon saw the soles of the statue's feet and then the waist...

Ivory, gold...

Especially with his hands stretched out, there was a small statue in his palm. How consistent is this the smaller version of the statue of Athena he saw in the Parthenon? The difference is only the difference in size.

Shi Lei rose higher and higher, while the statue was getting lower and lower. Shi Lei finally saw his face.

He completely confirmed that this was the statue of Goddess Athena, originally located in the Parthenon Temple. Shi Lei used an opportunity to use the identification card without hesitation. A hazy light appeared in front of him, and it flashed with a dark purple.

This made Shi Lei easily judge that the statue is an antique that dates from at least 2,500 years ago, and, judging by the brightness of the glory, the value of this statue is at least tens of billions of dollars.

There is no doubt that the original statue can only be the one who has such a high value.

At the beginning, Shi Lei was just coming to the mechanism here, and he couldn't help but think that maybe there might be the twenty-three calligraphy and paintings needed for the black card.

But now, he realized that this place was originally where the original statue of the goddess Athena was hidden.
