Chapter 18 The cards of Newt's box!
The wizard holding the shield cautiously approached Newt and the others, and the other two followed behind him, also looking wary.

"Mr. and Mrs. Scamander, hello, we are sent by the Greek Ministry of Magic to welcome you." The man holding the shield said.

It turned out to be here to pick us up!
David breathed a sigh of relief.

But does it take a big battle to meet us?

Still need to raise the magic shield?

David stared at the shield man with puzzled little eyes.

"Now, please leave the box in your hand to us for safekeeping?" The shield man said to Newt, his tone a little nervous.

Newt smiled awkwardly, and put the box in his hand on the ground.

As soon as the box touched the ground, David saw those people tremble very obviously, and then the two people behind the shield flew forward, quickly checked the lock of the box, and saw that it was not released, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned towards the lock. The man squatting on the wall nodded.

The people on the wall disappeared quickly, and after a while, several people flew from the air on broomsticks, and two of them were carrying a large iron box with some runes engraved on it, looking very advanced.

They landed in front of Newt and the others, carefully put Newt's box into it, and then hurriedly protected the big iron box and left.

Such a big battle just for Newt's box?

David was a little hard to understand.

At this time, only the shield man was left in front of Newt and the others. With a wave of his wand, the shield in his hand shrank rapidly and turned into an armband, which was attached to his arm.

David's eyes lit up, silently thinking about how to get one.

"Everyone, you are very welcome to Athens. My name is Pythagoras. You can also call me Goras. I am the Minister of the Protection of Magical Beasts in Greece." After Newt's box left, the shield man, oh no , Golas relaxed instantly, with a bright smile on his face, he said gently: "I hope you can forgive us for our rude behavior just now."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's not a big deal." Newt said generously, his look and tone showed that he was used to such things.

"Next, I will take all the distinguished guests to the Ministry of Magic, do the entry registration, and release the Chimera, and then you can play freely in Athens." Golas said with a smile, and took out the A golden key, exactly the same as the Portkey in David's imagination!
It turned out that it wasn't that the Portkey was ugly, but that the British Ministry of Magic was too poor!
David is a bit disgusted, is it too late for me to join the Greek Ministry of Magic?

But although the portkey has become more beautiful, its user experience has not improved at all, it is all pulling the belly button, and the wind is whistling in the ear.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." The whistling wind stopped, and the gentle voice of Goras came from David's ear.

He slowed down, opened his eyes, and found that they were on a pile of rocks, with only one winding passage behind them, and the rest were steep cliffs.

In front of him, there stood many huge stone pillars made of white limestone, forming a long shape, like a palace, but it was already dilapidated.

There are still many residual walls around the stone pillars, with many exquisite patterns carved on them.

Although these buildings have been dilapidated as a whole, the majesty of the past can still be felt from these remnants.

"What's this place, Grandma?" David asked.

"This is the Acropolis of Athens, the ancient Greek temple in the past." Tina sighed, with a hint of regret in her eyes, "The Greek Ministry of Magic is also located here."

"Then" David glanced at Golas carefully, and said in a low voice: "Then why don't they repair this place, won't such a dilapidated place affect their international image?"

Although the entrance to the British Ministry of Magic is just some dilapidated telephone booths, the surroundings of those telephone booths are not bad anyway!

But this Greek Ministry of Magic is directly in a pile of ruins?
David suddenly didn't want to join the Greek Ministry of Magic again.

"The buildings here were all destroyed during the war. In the past, this place was the most prosperous place in Athens." Although David's voice was very low, Golas still heard it. As the minister of the Greek Department of Magical Beast Protection , There will always be something extraordinary, he explained David's question: "As for why it has not been repaired, some people are always greedy and good at forgetting, and they need something to remind them of the cruelty of war. Very suitable."

David looked at Golas and felt a little strange, not because of his answer, but because of his tone. You must know that Tina, who has nothing to do with this place, will feel a burst of regret when she sees it.

But Golas was very calm when he told it, without a trace of pity.

Are you already used to it?

David thought to himself.

"Of course, it's not that we haven't done nothing. We've also made some efforts to protect these things." Golas said with a smile, "Please come with me now."

David and the others followed behind Geras, and they came to a tall stone wall with some flowers carved on it and an ancient Greek warrior. He was holding a spear, standing sideways, and the spear was pointing straight at ahead.

Goras took a step forward, walked to the point where the spear was pointing, took out his wand and tapped it on the point of the spear, and then slid upwards for a certain distance.

As soon as he retracted his wand, the warrior on the stone wall immediately moved, put away his spear, and stood aside.

A gate appeared at the position where the spear was just now.

Geras stood near the gate and made a gesture of invitation.

David steps into it after Newt and Tina.

As soon as he entered, David's eyes widened in shock, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at Golas behind him in disbelief.

You call that some effort?
Am I misunderstanding something?

Still needed something to remind them of the brutality of war, I almost believed it!

In front of David is a very majestic gate with a complex structure, supported by huge white stone pillars, which is exactly the same as what he saw outside, except that it is complete here. There are many exquisite stone carvings on the door frame of the gate. With some ancient Greek warriors in battle.

Through the gate, you can also see a tall carved stone statue. She holds a spear in her right hand and a shield standing on the ground in her left hand. It is the guardian of the city, the goddess Athena.

Under David's gaze, Golas smiled gently: "Before those robbers came to plunder, we received the news, so we moved the Acropolis here, oh, our current location, just now Under the ruins you see, in the mountains."

"Those buildings outside?" David looked at the surrounding buildings in surprise.

"Those are fakes copied by us. If we don't leave something for them, we will be exposed." Golas said slyly, "Okay, let's go in, you need to register entry information at the Temple of Athena Victory .”

 Please recommend tickets, please collect, thank you everyone, hope to have a good time!
