Chen Kangjie and the others were wandering outside happily. Mao Xianping, who was staying in the hotel, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Chen Kangjie and the others sneaked out and didn't tell him in advance. There was a hospitality event organized by the local official in the evening. The other party asked Chen Kangjie to participate with him, but Chen Kangjie could not be found at the moment.

Although I knew that Chen Kangjie had several security personnel around him, so there was no danger. Moreover, the security in Olympia was good and the people were simple, this could not stop Mao Xianping's worry. If Chen Kangjie went out privately and had any accidents outside, then his team leader might be in a big trouble.

Now that I saw Chen Kangjie not only safe, but also returned with a full load, Mao Xianping wanted to say a few words of criticism, but the critical language that I had thought about in my heart many times was stuck in my throat and couldn't come out.

"The local government invited us to a banquet, but no matter how we looked for it, we couldn't find you. Everyone was worried about you." Mao Xianping squeezed for a long time, but this kind of concern was squeezed out of his throat.

"Mayor Mao, sorry, I don't know there is such an arrangement. There is no such item in the schedule given to me." Seeing Mao Xianping's gloomy expression changing on his face, Chen Kangjie also knew his mood, so his tone was quite gentle.

Indeed, the delegation did not have to attend the reception dinner after visiting Olympia. This is why Chen Kangjie went out privately.

Mao Xianping and the others came to Olympia for visiting and exchanges as the Olympic bid city. Because of the Olympic bond, the local government would like to express it anyway. However, in the original arrangement, Mao Xianping and his leaders had a meeting with local officials, without saying that there was a banquet, nor did they ask Chen Kangjie to attend. Those were the temporary requests from the other party later.

"I only found out half an hour in advance. When I was looking for you, I didn't know where you had gone. We sent someone to look for you on the street, but I didn't see you. I was worried and anxious." Seeing that Chen Kangjie's attitude was quite correct, Mao Xianping really threw away his unhappiness completely.

"Haha, we're in the alley. Sorry, I'll ask you for instructions next time I go out." Chen Kangjie apologized and smiled.

In fact, Chen Kangjie no longer needs to say hello to Mao Xianping or ask for instructions. Their trip to Greece is not much time left. After visiting Olympia tomorrow, they will return to Athens, and then Chen Kangjie will fly to Bucharest, where they gather with the staff of the International Red Cross and enter the South by land.

Early the next morning, Chen Kangjie visited the Olympia archaeological site under the arrangement of the local government. The Olympia archaeological site is Olympia's business card and is also a place for tourists who visit here. Its location is two or three kilometers east of Olympia today. You can walk or take a tour bus.

As a government inspection team, Chen Kangjie and the others could not walk, and time was not allowed. Chen Kangjie thought that he did not attend the local dinner yesterday and would be disliked today. As a result, Mayor Olympia, who accompanied him, was still very enthusiastic about him, especially after hearing Chen Kangjie's private tour of the small town and its praises, the mayor and the accompanying officials were even happier.

The central area of ​​Olympia is called Altis or Zeus Saint Garden, which is irregularly quadrilateral, with each side length of 182.9 meters. It is bounded by Mount Clohons in the north. The remaining three walls are built. Inside the wall are the Temple of Zeus and the Temple of Hera, as well as buildings such as altars, treasure houses and management offices. Outside the wall are sports facilities, hostels, bathrooms, etc. Of course, these sports facilities and hostels are completely different from today. They are from thousands of years ago.

The Olympian archaeological site was finally formed after more than one hundred years of archaeology and excavation from the 18th to the 19th century. The center of it was first formed around a tomb mound from the Bronze Age. It is said that this mud mound was built by Heglis for Peropus, and it is also an altar for sacrifice for Zeus. The center of another sacrament is a crack in a hill. There was an oracle here. At first, this oracle was a goddess in charge, but later it became Zeus' oracle, and this oracle still exists until history records exist.

There were many temples and altars in the holy land. These temples and altars worshiped different gods. Paulsanias counted 69 gods. On the hillside in the north, there were many warehouses for sacred artifacts built by Greek city-states. To the west of these warehouses was the city council hall in Olympia. Gradually, Artis accumulated many dedications, mainly to commemorate and thank the statues of victory and other monuments. In the 4th century, Artis was surrounded by a wall, which may have five doors.

There are many other buildings that manage and serve the holy land, as well as arenas. The largest building in Olympia is a hotel built in the 4th century BC. This hotel was renovated in the Roman period. Athletes trained in the gymnasium built in the 3rd century and competed on the sports field. There is also a brilliant gate in front of the sports field in Olympia. On the edge of the baths that had been built in the Greek period, the Romans also built several warm baths. Through the garbage found nearby, a 5th-century building can be identified as a workshop for shaping the giant statue of Zeus for the temple. The huge racing yard has disappeared after being washed away by the floods of nearby rivers.

What people are familiar with Olympia is that the torch collection of every modern Olympic Games is carried out here, and the specific location is in the Temple of Hera. Standing in the square in front of the Temple of Hera, Chen Kangjie felt that if he hadn't been following many people around him, he would have a wonderful feeling as if he was in history.

The marble pillars standing for thousands of years and the stone steps that have retreated in color around the square are all telling the glory of here thousands of years ago. Those solemn pillars are like sacred guards, protecting the goddess Hera. They are green grass under their feet, and green forests in the distance, covered with olive trees, cypress and osmanthus trees.

The one who serves as the tour guide for Chen Kangjie and the others here was the newly elected Supreme Priestess Thalia Prokopiou. She is now twenty-six years old, with brown-yellow hair, big eyes, long eyelashes, high nose, sexy lips, fashionable clothes. She is the kind of beauty that can't be forgotten at a glance. It's less than a month since she was elected as the Supreme Priestess. At this time, Talia Prokopiou was not famous, but in 2000, she learned that she was not famous. The completion of the collection of the sacred flames of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and the 2004 Athens Olympics, he became one of the most dazzling female stars in Greece and the most "star-bright" among the highest priestesses in history. Until later, when the Beijing Olympics, when people mentioned the highest priestess, people thought of Talia Procorpio, but the highest priestess at that time had become Maria Nafpliotou.

Because Talia Procopio is proficient in English and French, Chen Kangjie can have a better communication with her. The most important thing is that Chen Kangjie has seen her on TV more than once, which has given rise to the urge to chat with her "friends".

"Miss Procopio, you are so beautiful, very Greek. Are all the supreme priestess like you?" Chen Kangjie asked in English with a charming smile on his face.

In fact, since Chen Kangjie appeared, Talia Procorpio had been peeking at him. After glances, Talia Procorpio felt a little throbbing in her heart. She felt that the LONG standing in front of her was more gentlemanly and handsome than what she saw in newspapers and posters. She was tall, with a wide forehead, a straight nose, and her eyes were like two stars. She always exuded a sense of maturity that was very disproportionate when talking and laughing. Now when Chen Kangjie asked her questions directly, Talia Procorpio was a little nervous. It was all because Chen Kangjie was too famous.

Talia Procopio, who was just talking about the explanation, became a little twitchy, but the mayor of Olympia saved her.

"LONG, let me explain this to you. Miss Procopio is our ninth supreme priestess. You can see that one of her ladies with a very Greek flavor. The average height of our priestess in history is 1.74 meters. It requires deep eyes, straight nose and sexy lips. This represents our Greek image. Because at the collection ceremony of the Holy Fire, the supreme priestess needs to pray and recite chants to the sun god Apollo before igniting the holy fire. Therefore, the supreme priestess must have a loud voice, magnetic, and infectious voice. The collection of the holy fire is attracting attention worldwide, and the technical operation standards are rigorous, so she must have strong psychological quality, a healthy figure and elegant demeanor." The mayor explained from the side, but he did not know how to speak English, so Chen Kangjie only needed to translate the translation beside him.

When she heard the mayor say that the priestess must have strong psychological qualities, Talia Prokoppio, under the sun, showed flushing on her white cheeks. She was ashamed that she was unable to deal with Chen Kangjie calmly.

Chen Kangjie nodded to the mayor with a smile and expressed his gratitude. Knowing that the supreme priestess in front of him was still a little nervous, Chen Kangjie did not make things difficult for her, so he simply started chatting with the mayor. He asked the mayor how the supreme priestess was born.

As a result, Talia Procorpio, who had adjusted her status, took the lead and she wanted to show off her skills. This was the first time he participated in an event as the Supreme Priestess. He couldn't just mess it up and moved back the lost points.

Talia Procopio told Chen Kangjie that each class of Supreme Priestess is an actress selected from the Greek National Theater, or from the top graduates who graduated from the theatre schools under the Greek National Theater. He is now an actress at the International Theater.

"Haha, no wonder, many people envy you. This is a noble job, how did you think of doing this?" Seeing that Talia Procorpio became calm, Chen Kangjie wanted to chat with him for a few more words.

"I was recommended by my teacher, Ms. Maria House. She is over 80 years old and is the general planner of the Olympic torch collection ceremony. In fact, I didn't expect such a good thing to fall on me. The main reason is that the last supreme priestess Pembucchi was pregnant and she could not participate in the Athens Olympics' torch collection ceremony." Talia Procorpio seemed to have forgotten that this was a formal occasion. There were many people who completely introduced Chen Kangjie as a friend.
