This Hogwarts is not normal

Chapter 822 Athena's Status in Greece

Outside the Administration of Magical Sports and Games,

The agent was asking the boy questions with concern.

"Victor, what happened to you just now?"

"Nothing. I just thought the girl passing by was very pretty, so I looked at her a little more."

The agent patted his chest thankfully, "Fortunately you didn't say anything nonsense just now, otherwise things would be very serious."

The boy looked puzzled, "It shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Not really?" The agent looked around carefully, and after making sure no one was around, he leaned close to him and whispered:

"You are Viktor Krum, the Seeker of our Bulgarian National Quidditch team, and the man most likely to win the title of World's Number One Seeker in this tournament.

What do you think would happen if your fans knew you were interested in a girl from nowhere? "

Krum patted his shoulder disapprovingly, "Come on, how can I be interested in her when I don't even know her name?"

The agent twitched his lips. "Victor, you looked like you saw a Veela just now."

To be able to become a player of the national team at such a young age, in addition to talent, one naturally needs to put in many times more effort than ordinary people.

It was reasonable to worry that he would be distracted, but what the Veela said was a bit exaggerated.

Krum pouted, "If she really is a Veela, then why aren't you affected?"

The agent shook his robe lightly, "I have seen the world, how can I be so easily influenced by her."

Krum rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Don't worry about me. I promise that I won't focus on anything other than the game until the World Cup is over."

The agent seemed to have something else to say, but Krum had already raised his hand and knocked on the door of the Magical Sports Administration.

After all, he is not a child anymore, and it is time to let go.

Returning to the ground, Vincent and Hermione walked into an empty alley.

After the black and white vortex, the two appeared in Athens, a city in Greece surrounded by the sea on three sides.

It's still early now, so you can go for a good walk after lunch.

However, just as the two of them walked into a small restaurant near the Roman market, Aurors from the Greek Ministry of Magic arrived.

After all, without a pass, it is reasonable to be investigated.

Vincent handed them Minister Astrid's reply and revealed his identity to them.

"Hello, I am Vincent Wayne, the chairman of Wayne Enterprises."

The Aurors from the Greek Ministry of Magic had naturally heard of him, and after making sure there was no problem with replying the letter, they quietly left.

After this little episode, neither Vincent nor Hermione wanted to go shopping in the city anymore.

Even the table full of Greek food didn't taste very good.

But Obransk is obviously much better than Umbridge. At least he doesn't look ugly, his taste is normal, and he doesn't speak in a hoarse voice.

With this comparison, miraculously I no longer feel nauseous or vomiting.

The seafood and vegetable salad is colorful and very rich in taste.

The grilled eggplant was also delicious, the softness of the eggplant and the aroma of the grilled meat combined particularly well.

Greek grilled lamb chops are tender and juicy, and are very unique when paired with spices and olive oil.

With the help of delicious food, Vincent and Hermione's good mood returned completely.

By the time the two walked out of the restaurant, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Although it was a pity that I couldn't properly stroll around the city, the entrance to the Greek Ministry of Magic made up for it.

On the Acropolis Hill in the center of Athens stands a complex of ancient buildings, the Acropolis.

It was built in 580 BC and was originally a fortress to prevent foreign invasion. Later, it gradually developed into a hill city guarded by solid walls.

This magnificent Acropolis houses four of the greatest masterpieces of classical Greek art: the Parthenon, the Portico, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike.

They illustrate Greece's prosperity, civilization, mythology and religion over more than a thousand years and are regarded as a symbol of the concept of World Heritage.

The entrance to the Greek Ministry of Magic is at the highest point of the Acropolis, inside the Parthenon, which is known as the "Temple within the Temple".

People can see this temple built to commemorate the city's goddess Athena anywhere in the city of Athens.

The temple, built of white marble from Mount Pentelicus, has many sculptures on both sides. The east side depicts the birth of Athena, while the west side depicts the battle between Athena and Poseidon for the protection of Athens.

In principle, temples are generally not open to the public.

However, Vincent and Hermione are wizards, and after repeated confirmation by Greek Ministry of Magic employees disguised as security guards around them, the two were finally able to successfully enter the temple.

The afternoon sun shines into the temple through the colonnade. At the end of the breathtaking light and shadow, stands a 12-meter-high full-length statue of Athena made of ivory and gold.

In the eyes of Greek Muggles, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, war and art in mythology, and is also one of the twelve gods of Olympus.

But in the eyes of Greek wizards, Athena is not just a fictional existence.

Like Merlin in Britain, Athena has been a symbol of magic since ancient times.

Some wizard scholars who study ultra-ancient history even believe that she was one of the first humans to come into contact with magic and one of the ancestors of wizards.

Muggles who cannot understand magic may worship her as a god because of this. As for what the truth is, it is probably a mystery that will never be solved.

As Vincent and Hermione approached the statue, the floorboards in front of it opened up piece by piece from the inside, revealing a deep corridor leading to the Greek Ministry of Magic.

The beautifully carved marble steps could be clearly seen under the flickering torches on the wall.

Like most of the magical government, the corridor leads underground.

The huge relief at the end slowly opened automatically in front of the two people. The circular hall like a temple was extremely majestic and spectacular.

The Greek Ministry of Magic gave the two people the only feeling of "shock".

The rotunda is home to 96 huge, exquisitely carved columns, whose layout is carefully designed to support a palace that seems to reach straight into the ground.

Busy Ministry of Magic staff were walking around, some of them were holding thick documents, some were holding bottles and jars, and some were even wearing a thick suit of armor.

Vincent and Hermione found a staff member who was not too busy. After explaining their purpose, they followed her lead into the magnificent palace.

The space inside the palace is very large, and the reliefs on the walls are similar to the facade of the Parthenon on the ground, all of which are about the deeds of Athena.

For example, she led the centaurs to fight against a group of giant magical creatures, and she also rode a fire dragon and soared in the sky.

The office of the Minister of the Greek Ministry of Magic is on the top floor of the palace. The two declined the staff's offer to take the lift and instead walked around admiring the magnificent palace.

Such a profound sense of history and art is rare even in the wizarding world, let alone the Muggle world.
