C262 The Daughter of Heaven

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was bright blue.

The Parthenon was surrounded by an exclamation of hereditary statues. However, at this moment, Shen Xiaoyi and the rest were not in the mood to appreciate the buildings left behind by the ancient people.

Sophia still hadn't completely recovered from the shock. Her small hands were tightly clenched, and her pure blue eyes were full of tension, as if she was afraid that another bullet would fly in from somewhere or someone would suddenly take her away and lock her back in the dark villa.

"Sophia is fine, don't worry!" After Lin Bai threw the gun to Shang Zhuo Cai, he patted Sophia's head and softly comforted her.

Sophia nodded. At this moment, the sound of countless footsteps came from the surroundings of the godly temple. Although the rocks beside them blocked their line of sight, preventing them from seeing the appearance of this person, Lin Bai and the others knew that these people definitely had ill intentions!

Shang Zhuo nervously gripped his handgun tightly and placed himself in front of Sophia, aiming the muzzle toward the outside of the rock!

Just when everyone was feeling incomparably nervous, a silhouette suddenly appeared behind them. After which, an incomparably cold voice rang out, "All of you, follow me!"

That person's figure was incomparably tall. He had a shaved head and was wearing a white robe. He looked extremely strange!

Hearing this voice that came from nowhere, without even thinking, Shang Zhuo turned around and pointed the gun at the person, and said angrily: "Who are you? Why the f * ck should we go with you? "

"Someone wants to see you, and if you want to know about the Athenian temple, you must come with me!" The bald man was not afraid of the firearms in Shang Zhuo's hands as he stared at Lin Bai and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, the front of the temple was in chaos. When the people who came to capture Sophia saw the miserable state their companion was in, they tensed up and pointed their pistols at the surrounding rocks, ready to discover where Lin Bai and the others were hiding at any moment!

"You guys don't have much time to wait. Follow me or don't leave. Make your decision now!" The bald man continued as he looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai gritted his teeth as he looked at Sophia and Shen Xiaoyi, who were tightly holding onto his clothes. He knew that these two women had been tortured by all kinds of unexpected incidents for the past few days. If he continued to stay here, even if he could take care of these people, they would suffer a lot of psychological trauma!

"Alright, I'll go with you!" Lin Bai frowned as he looked at the bald man. "But if I find that the place you're bringing us to is strange, I won't be able to avoid you!"

The bald man didn't say anything. He turned around and walked toward the side of the boulder. Lin Bai and the rest gritted their teeth as they looked at the shattered rocks beneath their feet, before following behind the bald man.

As he continued forward, a small path appeared on the previously rocky ground. As the path continued forward, he arrived at the entrance of a cave. Around the cave were several men and women dressed in white like the bald man. These people were currently staring in Lin Bai's direction with incomparable nervousness. When they saw the figure of the bald man, a smile instantly blossomed on their faces!

Seeing this, Lin Bai felt slightly relieved. If this person's heart was deceptive, then this peaceful scene wouldn't have happened. However, Lin Bai could feel that these people had a strange expression on their faces. To be more accurate, the calmness in their eyes was so thick that it was strange. They were like monks from an old temple deep in China!

"Now can you tell us why you brought us here?" Lin Bai looked at the bald man and asked in a deep voice.

The bald man didn't respond. Instead, he walked to a white-robed woman among the crowd and knelt down before her. He kissed her feet lightly and said, "Holy Priest, I've brought them back!"

"You brought that ice face over again. Luckily, the guest I invited was skillful, otherwise, I wouldn't have followed you back!" The white-robed priestess smiled at the kneeling bald man.

The bald man's ice-cold face instantly revealed a bashful expression. He turned his head to look at Lin Bai and the others before lowering his head in silence. Shen Xiaoyi and the others were extremely surprised by his actions.

Along the way, the bald man was like a dull oil bottle. He could not produce three fart at once, and was incomparably cold. At this moment, he had the appearance of a child. It was truly strange!

"My esteemed guests, please forgive me for taking you to the holy land at the foot of the Olympus!" The white-clothed priestess walked up to Lin Bai, placed both hands on her chest, bowed, and said with a smile.

Lin Bai was slightly shocked as he hurriedly said, "There is no need to be so presumptuous in saving my life. But the bald young man said that I would know the secret of the Athenian Temple's seal once I arrived here. What is this secret?"

"Is this the purest seed of the royal family of Europe, Princess Sophia?" The white-robed priestess didn't answer but stared at Sophia silently and asked softly.

Sophia rubbed her nose and whispered, "I am Sophia, who are you?"

"You are the daughter of an Emperor in Europe, the most respected princess in the world! I am the chosen one of Mount Olympus, as well as the consecrate of the gods and the guardian of the flames of Olympia, Minerva! " The priestess bowed to Sophia and replied.

The white-robed priestess' words caused Lin Bai and the rest to be thrown into confusion! The priestesses still existed in Athens, but they were the people who lit the torch once a year. According to the reports that Lin Bai had read before, these priestesses were actresses chosen from the Greek National Theatre. As for the earlier priestesses, they had long since been removed from their duties.

This woman's name was also very shocking. If Minerva was not a special name, then everyone in the world would probably find it very familiar when they used her alias. For Minerva was the guardian of Athens: Athena!

In Greek mythology, Minerva was one of the twelve gods of Olympus, the goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology, corresponding to Minerva in Roman mythology.

Legend has it that it was born of Zeus and the Goddess of Wisdom, Mortis. Zeus swallowed her up when he predicted that his son would overthrow Zeus. Who knew that the headache would be so great that he could not bear it any longer? He summoned the Fire God, Hewitos, to chop open the head. The goddess, clad in armour and holding up her golden spear, appeared from the brain of Zeus.

Minerva was the most revered goddess of the Greeks, especially the Athenians. The city of Athens was named after the goddess, and it was her own city. She taught the Greek skills of spinning, weaving, shipbuilding, metallurgy, and ironmaking, as well as inventing ploughs and taming cattle and sheep, so she was also the patron saint of agriculture and gardening. She is also the patron saint of law and order.

Now, there was suddenly a woman standing in front of everyone, claiming that she was Athena. Moreover, no matter if it was her appearance or aura, this woman was extremely fresh and refined. This was too strange. Could it be that the world had truly changed? Even the gods of legends had begun to descend upon the mortal world?

"Minerva is just a name. This is the name of all the inheritances and Priestesses of the church. That's why I'm not the honorable Goddess of Wisdom!" When Minerva saw the suspicious look on Lin Bai's face, a faint smile blossomed on his face as he softly explained.

Although this fallacy had finally been explained clearly, Lin Bai and the rest still felt somewhat apprehensive. They were filled with curiosity about Minerva. They had seen all sorts of mysterious things in the Greek mythology. Now that the legendary priest of the temple had appeared, why didn't they want this goddess to explain the doubts in their hearts?

"I wonder why the Priestess wants me here?" Since Minerva had already explained it to him, there was no need for him to be nervous anymore. Lin Bai released the seal he was tightly holding on his finger and softly asked Minerva.

Minerva smiled and looked at Sophia, then said softly, "In fact, what I want to see is her. Every generation of Emperor's Daughters in Europe will be blessed and baptized by the gods. "Furthermore, Princess Sophia's every move and gesture is related to the changes that will happen to Europe in the future. As the guardian of the temple, I have to meet you, the protector of the daughter of Emperor's Mandate!"

"How did you know we were in Athens?" Lin Bai frowned as he stared at Minerva and asked in a deep voice. He had just been ambushed and this woman sent someone, this matter was truly strange. Although he understood that the other party did not have any ill intentions, he still had to be on guard, so Lin Bai wanted to confirm the other party's motive!

"There is a grandmaster in China, how can there not be someone with the same ability in Athens? Moreover, with so many years of inheritances in the godly temple, how can there not be some mysterious inheritances!" Minerva looked at Lin Bai and said with a faint smile,

"From the darkness of the night, I saw the flames that were burning Mount Olympus, and I knew that Emperor's Mandate was about to set foot on my land! Seeing the gigantic dragon from the east lying on the European continent, he knew that his respected guest was about to arrive! From the black light that I revealed from the pure white and flawless temple, I knew that someone would appear to obstruct the daughter of Emperor's Mandate! "

Looking at Minerva's bright eyes, Lin Bai's heart was filled with fear. At this moment, he finally understood why the woman in front of him knew they had appeared in the temple, and why that baldy had appeared at such a critical moment. All of these things had probably been calculated by this woman in front of them the moment they had set foot on the soil of Athens!

He finally understood why this woman called him the daughter of destiny!
