Chapter 1219 Trading with the Eye of Darkness

The "elevator" is rising higher and higher, while the statue of Goddess Athena has landed on the ground of the underground palace.

As the "elevator" rose, the torches below quietly extinguished, and a new torch was ignited above Shi Lei's head, which made Shi Lei sigh at the powerful work of the ancient Greeks again.

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

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

Just where the "elevator" was stationary, Shi Lei saw something like a wrench.

He knew that this must be the mechanism to open the overhead passage, and at this moment, there was only a torch above him and still burning. The light was not too strong, just enough Shi Lei saw the location near the wrench.

Shi Lei quickly turned on the flashlight and illuminated the surroundings, confirming that there was no danger. He also found a stone staircase that he saw when he entered the Hephaestus Temple.

Shi Lei did not hesitate and pulled the wrench off. When he saw the surrounding mechanisms start to run, there were still those crackling sounds in his ears. Then, a sufficient amount of light surged in from his head, which made Shi Lei close his eyes in an instant. He had not been exposed to natural light for several hours, and his eyes were really uncomfortable at this moment.

Lift your wrist and look at the watch. It is 7:40. In another twenty minutes, the Parthenon will open the door to welcome tourists from all over the world.

Shi Lei climbed up the stone stairs, and as soon as he pressed his hands on the ground above the stone stairs, he heard the sound of the machine running again from below.

When I looked down, I saw that the stones that had sunk before were slowly rising. It seemed that the stone slabs near the exit ground were like the stone slabs at the entrance of the underground palace, and were all mechanisms that closed the passage.

I don’t care if there will be guards patrolling the hall. At this time, if you don’t go out, I’m afraid you will never go out again.

Shi Lei used his hands and feet to leave the underground palace. Shortly after he climbed up, the ground returned to its original appearance.

In addition, the surrounding sand and stones slowly gathered here, filling the gap at the entrance, making it impossible to see that there was an exit from a passage here.

Footsteps came not far away, and Shi Lei hurriedly hid behind a stone pillar. He saw two guards doing the final patrol before the opening tour. Fortunately, the two guards did not find Shi Lei's presence.

Not long after, the guard left, and Shi Lei sat down behind Shizhu.

He sorted out all the information he had passed by, and was extremely excited. He accidentally found the original statue of Goddess Athena.

Although it was obviously not possible for him to get this thing away, Shi Lei believed that if there were anyone in this world who could hide it from the Greek government and get this statue, it would be the Eyes of the Dark Night.

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

When he returned to the hotel, Shi Lei had a good time. After getting up in the afternoon, he called Wei Bodi directly.

"You really have a very unusual sense of smell. We just found out that the last consortium of the ferrymen was indeed in the United States, so you called?"

Shi Lei ignored Wei Bodi's teasing and said with a very good mood: "I'm not about ferrymen, but I have made a major discovery."

Wei Bodi was slightly stunned and asked, "What did you find?"

"I know where the statue of Goddess Athena is, and it is definitely guaranteed to be the original work."

Of course, Wei Bodi couldn't understand. There were too many statues of Goddess Athena, and she didn't know which one Shi Lei was talking about.

"What statue of Goddess Athena?"

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

Wei Bodi was stunned again. She didn't know much about these things and immediately ordered the people around her to inquire about the statue.

When she saw the information about the statue, she was also shocked.

"Didn't that thing be damaged long ago?"

"If I didn't find it, of course, I could only think it was damaged in history books. However, I discovered its existence. In fact, it was just a coincidence. I originally thought that I had just discovered a small secret, but I didn't expect that this secret would be so big. Moreover, what is valuable is not only the statue itself, but also the place where the statue is hidden has great research value."

“Where is it?”

"Just in the Acropolis Mountain in Athens, archaeologists around the world would never think of it. They believe that the statue of the goddess Athena, which has been damaged in the long river of history, is actually hidden under the Parthenon Temple."

Wei Bodi was also shocked and incredible. Of course she understood that even the statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, which was not many years away, made Bebera, the leader of the Night Eye, so interested. If she could really find the original statue of the goddess Athena in the Parthenon, what an amazing discovery would be.

She asked anxiously: "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

Shi Lei laughed and said, "You think so beautifully. I discovered this thing. Why should I tell you so free? Go and report to your leader Bebelah and see what price she is willing to pay for this statue."

"Hey! This statue is so big, you don't have the ability to get it away, right?"

"It's true that I can't get it away, but if I don't tell you how to enter the lower part of the Parthenon, you can't blow up the Acropolis Mountain in Athens, right? Moreover, this is a place where you can't buy it no matter how rich you have. So, the entrance and the exit are crucial. You can report it first. The price is appropriate, and I will sell you the details!"

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

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

When he got off the plane, Wei Bodi also called. She said that Bebel was very interested in the statue and said that he asked Shi Lei to offer the price on his own, which roughly means that no matter what the price, she must get the statue.

Shi Lei smiled and said, "To be honest, the possibility of getting it is not high, and there is almost no possibility of this thing being taken away. But anyway, you just have to study this kind of thing. This thing is there, and no one can get it away. It will be fine for your leader to study it for a hundred years."

Wei Bodi pondered for a moment and said, "You offer it."

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

Wei Boti took a breath and said, "This is almost impossible! Bebelah has announced long ago that the organization will never show members of the same level as Mr. X."

Shi Lei smiled slightly and said without rushing: "That's the past. In the past, Bebelah was also restricted by some people, such as your elders and the ferryman who rose up later. But now, she has no restrictions. All forces that may oppose her have been wiped out in recent times. So, don't tell me that it is impossible. Bodhi, I can't understand what you are from? You are really adapted to the identity of the member of the Dark Night Eyes!"

Hearing this, Wei Bodi couldn't help but blush slightly. Shi Lei said it right, and she seemed to have made some mistakes in the role.

It's okay for her to treat others with this attitude, but when facing Shi Lei, she shouldn't behave like this.71
