Antikalos didn't think much about it: "It's the second year of the 108th Olympic Games, and the governor of Athens this year is Lord Thea."
"What?" Luo Wei looked confused.
"You should have heard of the Olympic Games. They are held every four years and have been held for hundreds of years since the time of Iphitus. We all use this calendar here." Anticarlos said.
Luo Wei felt a little sore.
He suddenly remembered that this must be BC, and there was no way to date it to AD.
Of course he knew about the Olympic Games, but let alone the ancient Olympic Games, even the modern Olympic Games, he couldn't tell which year it was. It seemed that there was no way to directly determine the year.
Luo Wei thought for a while: "I heard that there was a philosopher in Greece named Socrates?"
"Yes, but Socrates has been dead for many years. The most famous person in Greece now is his disciple, Mr. Plato, who runs a school in the city of Athens." Anticarlos said.
Plato.
Hearing this name, Luo Wei couldn't help but nod secretly. He finally had a more specific understanding of the age of the earth.
In his previous life, due to some accidental factors, he was deeply impressed by Plato's birth and death dates, and he has not forgotten them to this day. He knows that this sage was born in 427 BC, lived a full eighty years, and died at a healthy age.
As long as you know Plato's current age, you can determine the current AD year... Of course, the Marvel world is definitely not the same as the world in his previous life, but it is still an important reference.
Luo Wei asked: "I wonder how old Mr. Plato is this year?"
"Eighty years old, he is one of the most virtuous and respected elders in the city of Athens." Anticarlos said.
Luo Wei sweated.
So now it should be 347 BC, and Plato will die soon.
"I am preparing to go to the city of Athens to see if I can join the Akademi Academy founded by Mr. Plato. Do you want to go with me?" Antikalos said, "A brave man like you will definitely join the Akademi Academy.
Very popular.”
Luo Wei nodded without thinking too much: "Okay, I also want to pay my respects to Mr. Plato."
Plato was going to die soon. Of course he wanted to see such a famous cultural relic, and it wasn't far anyway.
Andikalos couldn't help but smile. There was no doubt that traveling with someone like Luo Wei would ensure a high degree of safety.
The two of them hit the road immediately.
Andy Carlos noticed the shield behind Rowe: "Are you a warrior?"
"yes."
Andy Carlos: "Frankly speaking, I have never seen anyone as strong as you. I even doubt that you are a gladiator in the Spartan Arena."
Luo Wei smiled and said nothing.
Along the way, Rowe and Andy Carlos walked and talked.
It has to be said that Andy Carlos's desire to enter the Akademi Academy was not just a fantasy, but he did have a lot of experience and needed further improvement.
After talking all the way, Luo Wei could feel that Andikalos' knowledge, cultivation, and language ability were all extraordinary.
He couldn't help but wonder whether this Andikalos might be some famous figure in history.
However, his knowledge of ancient Greek figures was limited to the big names like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle that everyone knew about, and the others were all covered in black.
Through the conversation with Andy Carlos, Rowe gained a more specific understanding of the situation on the earth.
As we learned before coming here, Egypt under the rule of Apocalypse is currently the most powerful force on Earth. Even if other countries are not vassals of Egypt, they will inevitably be influenced by Egypt.
Egypt now is like the American empire in later generations.
However, just a few decades ago, some turmoil occurred within Egypt, which directly led to the outbreak of a series of wars around the world. Egypt's power entered a period of decline, and the situation around the world became much more restless.
"What happened?"
Andikalos hesitated for a while and whispered: "You saved my life, so I'll tell you straight."
After a pause, he continued: "That year was the year of Apocalypse's rebirth. But as far as I know, there seemed to be an accident in his rebirth ceremony, which caused him to fall into long-term weakness."
"What accident?"
"I don't know about that. However, all the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were killed as a result, and they were vacant for several years before they were replenished."
Luo Wei thought for a while: "How much do you know about Apocalypse's rebirth ceremony?"
Andy Carlos shook his head: "This is the big secret of Apocalypse's rule of the world. No one knows except his priests and the Four Horsemen."
Rowe: "Are there any Egyptian troops around here?"
"No, Athens is probably the most independent city-state within a thousand miles." Anticarlos said, "In the Peloponnesian War decades ago, Athens lost the war, but won its independence."
"Sparta won the war, but was still a vassal of Apocalyptic Egypt."
After walking for a while, Andikalos stretched out his hand and pointed: "Athens, we are here!"
Luo Wei looked up and saw a tall city gate suddenly appeared in the distance. It must be the city of Athens.
"Let's hurry up." Andikalos was a little excited and quickened his pace.
The city gates and walls of the city of Athens are made of snow-white rocks and have an ancient and elegant shape, showing the heritage of this ancient civilized city.
As the distance shortened, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the traffic was busy, coming in and out of the gate of the city of Athens, and the atmosphere was prosperous.
Entering the city, the flow of people is even denser, and there are rows of classical-style buildings. People are walking around in the peaceful city of Athens, and most of them are smiling.
"Well, this is the most beautiful city in Greece, Athens." Antikalos said.
Luo Wei nodded: "Not bad."
"If this place would have been prosperous a hundred years ago, it would be a pity that we had to go through that war." Andikalos said with emotion.
Rowe asked: "Where is Mr. Plato's Akademi Academy?"
Andy Carlos: "It's in the northwest corner of Athens. We should be there soon."
The two then headed northwest. Unlike other locations in the city of Athens, the northwest corner of the city was a sparsely populated place with a quiet atmosphere.
It was probably for this reason that Plato established his academy here.
After a while, walking through a tree-lined avenue, a group of college buildings came into view, especially a bell tower that was very conspicuous, with a huge copper bell standing on the top floor.
"This is Akademi Academy." Andy Carlos said.
Luo Wei nodded while carefully looking at the surrounding scenery.
"Stop!" At this moment, a scolding voice suddenly came.
The two of them turned around and saw a young man in a robe looking at Shilute with an evil expression: "You, take off the mask."
Do you want to eat watermelon?
