Chapter 521 Chapter 522. Pilgrimage and sightseeing

The Port of Piraeus is an important hub for communication between Athens and the outside world.

The air here is full of odors: the smell of sailors' sweat, the stench of feces, the aroma of bread and snapper in the oven, and the intoxicating aroma of wine, all mixed together.

Soldiers dressed in blue and white uniforms lined up neatly, shuttled up and down the densely packed warships in the harbor, while carts loaded with grains used pulleys to unload bags of grains from Egypt and sent them to the port. White flag on the pier.

Wow. Fubai, wearing new shoes, followed Lan En and looked around at this prosperous port. "There are so many people here!"

Indeed. Lan En was looking around freshly from the front.

Athens, ancient Greece, who has studied history wouldnt want to come and have fun?

According to statistics, there are thirty to forty thousand citizens in this city-state alone, and there are countless slaves and foreigners.

The number of citizens alone is much larger than the population of Temeria's capital in the magical world.

But why are you so shocked? Suddenly, Lan En turned his head and looked at Fu Bai in confusion. "Aren't you from Athens?"

The little girl suddenly made a cross face: "I am only twelve years old, and I have been living in Kefalonia for several years. What do you expect me to remember?"

So Lan Ens plan to get a local guide for nothing came to nothing.

Fauber, a local, can only learn about his hometown by following a foreigner.

The city of Athens is a sea of red tile roofs, and the Acropolis is like a marble island. Together with the breathtakingly magnificent temples and monuments on it, it has become a prominent presence on the sea.

The Parthenon shimmers: the silver-white stone carvings and glossy paint in the temple radiate a dazzling light under the sunlight. The statue of Athena made of red copper is solemn and proud. She holds a spear and stands like a sentinel, and the luster on her body can be said to be as blazing as a flame.

Lan En looked at the huge bronze statue of Athena whose head could be seen standing on the edge of the port.

Although he had already seen the huge Zeus on Cephalonia Island, the statue of this size still made him twitch the corner of his mouth inadvertently.

One finger of this statue is almost the size of an adult, which means it is basically 50 meters long!

It belongs to the type that does not lose the special film when it comes to the activity.

The [Spiritual Vision] in his mind was also slightly inspired by Lan En's emotion.

Two people, one large and one small, went deeper into the city, and they got to know the city better.

Lan En looked down and saw that Fu Bai's palms were clenching unconsciously, as if silently cheering the little boy up.

But just when the sardines were about to come out of the fish basket, the fish that was not dead yet shook its tail.

The wicker fish basket made a soft 'snap' sound.

The owner of the stall immediately drew his attention away from the debate at the side and discovered the little thing with dirty hands and feet.

He seemed to be used to it, so he put a rough linen handkerchief on his hand and pulled the sardine out of the boy's hand.

Because the speed was too fast, the fin cut the boy's palm open and blood flowed out.

Immediately afterwards, the vendor who threw the sardines back grabbed the frightened boy who was trying to escape and slapped him without mercy.

The thin and small boy was instantly slapped to the ground. The vendors around him burst into laughter, and the fishmonger hung his handkerchief around his neck again.

Seeing that the fishmonger didn't take any further action, the little boy thanked him and quickly ran away.

Under normal circumstances, the street vendor will beat the thief until he can't get out of bed or vomits blood.

"Let's go, Lan En." Both of them were watching this farce, but it was Fubo who first tugged on Lan En's clothes and asked him to continue walking.

The surrounding vendors and passers-by were accustomed to returning their attention to the wonderful debates of the Athenians.

Children, thieves, being caught, being beaten. All are common things in life.

Lan En obeyed Fu Bai's slight force and left.

Apart from the fact that there are statues all over the place that require a lot of manpower and material resources, these scenes are in line with Lan Ens knowledge established when studying history.

Athens was a dynamic and progressive civilization, but at the same time, it was also a civilization built on slaves.

Pericles's speech claimed that the "noble", "supreme" and "I serve you, not the other way around" citizens only refer to the more than 30,000 people in this city.

Lan En continued to walk on the cobblestone roads and sandy roads in Athens, but after seeing this, he still knew clearly in his heart: Socrates, Pericles, Alcibiades, etc. are now living in this city. A figure who has appeared in history books and textbooks.

But he no longer viewed the city with a "pilgrimage" mentality.

Its touristy at best.
