Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

344 Conspiracy and Marriage Festival

Staceus and Nick Stratus looked at each other with shock in their eyes.When Nick Stratus looked back at the group of people still arguing in Xiaoting, the feeling in his heart was naturally very different from before.

He turned back, looked at Stacey Kodas walking in front, and pulled past Stacipus, asking in a low voice: "Who is this man? You respect him so much."

"He is the hospital of the Medical College in Dionysian Academy... well... deputy dean, he is not only superb in medical skills, but also very knowledgeable!" Stacipus said in small praise.

"Higher medical skills? How is it better than you?" Nick Stratus doesn't care about the other's position, only the actual medical skills.

"I can't compare with him at all. The gap is like a child and an adult. After you have seen the patients he treated and listened to his speech, you will know." Stacipus said heartily.

Nick Stratus was completely stunned. He felt that his medical skills were almost the same as those of Stacipus. Is this humble middle-aged man really so powerful?!

…………………………

At night, in a village outside the city of Turiri, in a house in the village, after dinner, Tratus asked his wife to pour a glass of wine and sit alone in the yard, looking at the tea while watching Starry sky pondered, watching the slaves cleaning the farm tools from time to time, and the son's recitation came from the house lit by oil lamps...

How comfortable this life is!Recalling himself a few years ago, Tratus couldn't help but be glad that he made the right choice.Betrayed Crotone, he still feels a little guilty in his heart, but he has done a lot for Crotone and Milon, including risking his life, lurking near Knapetiya and obtaining important information , Made an important contribution to Crotone assisting Trina in repelling the Bruti people...but his life was always troubled until he was counterattacked by Aristilas, after Daveus defeated Crotone, he fulfilled In order to make his promise to bring his wife and children back safely, he began his life in Turrii, and joined the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade under the arrangement of Davos to accumulate war achievements; at the same time, he secretly served Aristi Russ worked to serve the consul.

Until last year, he finally officially became a Dionysian citizen and obtained the "place" that every Greek dreamed of. At the same time, his children also entered Dionysian school and bought two slaves at home. , Responsible for the work in the field... All these happy lives come from the correct choice he made.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should pray to Hades.To realize that he was often troubled by guilt at the beginning, and he could not even sleep at night. Finally he listened to Aristilas' advice and went to the confession room of the Temple of Hades before he was gradually relieved.

As he chanted the Hades carols piously, a knock on the door rang, which was very rhythmic.

"Who?" Terratus quickly rushed to the door and whispered.

"Tratus, it's me!" A low voice came from outside the door, but it was particularly clear in the silent night.

It is the voice of Aristilas!Tratus was shocked.Usually, Aristilas, as his superior, always asked him to report the situation and arrange tasks to his residence. He had never personally been to Tratus’s house, let alone at night.

He hurriedly opened the door, and by the moonlight, Aristilas's long and thin figure appeared in front of him.

Aristilas glanced solemnly at the courtyard behind Tratus, and then walked in softly.

Tratus closed the door gently and made excuses to drive the slave to rest.

Aristilas stood quietly in the corner of the courtyard, and the courtyard walls and tall willow trees blocked the moonlight from the sky, leaving his figure completely enveloped by darkness.

Tratus arranged things properly and rushed over to receive the order immediately.

Aristilas is not nonsense, and said in a straightforward whisper: "Admiral has orders, the matter you are responsible for can start to act."

Tratos was tense again, and the "adult" Aristilas said would only be the first person in Dionysia who made him fearful and grateful.

Then he became excited again: "Boss, where should we start? Is it better?"

The two whispered for a while.

After seeing Aristilas leave, Tratus couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and suddenly slammed his hands against each other. "Slap!" The clear applause in the night ushered his wife out in the room: "Tratus?!" "

"It's okay, you go to bed first!" Terratus said to calm her, and warned herself: calm down!calm!Although this is an opportunity to make great achievements, this matter is of great importance and involves a large number of people, either high weight or very wealthy. You must be careful...think again...think...the whole implementation process has Is there anything wrong?

So, Tratus carried his hands on his back, wandering and thinking, and spent most of the night in the yard...

…………………………

The next morning, the sky was blue and the temperature was suitable.

The residents of Turui got up early, washed their meals, placed the flowers in front of their homes, and sprinkled the streets with clean water.Then the men were dressed neatly, the women dressed up in flowers, and drove out of the east gate in pairs.

The Temple of Hera in Turri was built two years ago, mainly because the Dionysia Marriage Festival has become more and more grand and its influence is getting bigger and bigger.But there is no Temple of Hera in the city of Turiri. Before every marriage festival, you have to go to Heraclea to invite Hera priests, and the venue of the festival can only be in Victory Square, which is a bit nondescript and very incompatible with Dior. The identity of the Nyah Union Center.Therefore, in response to the needs of the people and the development of the city, the Senate approved the construction of the Temple of Hera.

However, the cost of building the temple was not paid from the treasury. At that time, the treasury's money was used for various infrastructures, and it was already stretched.It was a generous and generous donation from Archbishop Daphes. Due to his example, he also received many donations from the elders of the Senate and some businessmen, so that the Temple of Hera could be completed after more than a year of construction.

At that time, the address of the Temple of Hera was also very difficult to think about, because after the Bruty War, Dionysia’s political situation was stable. After several years of rapid development, the number of citizens in the city of Turiyi skyrocketed, and there was not enough empty space to accommodate A new temple complex can only be built outside the city, which is why the senate has begun to put the expansion of the city of Turiyi on the agenda.

The Dionysians, contrary to the Greeks, like the tradition of building temples on high grounds. The Temple of Hera in Turriy was built on the banks of the River Krati outside the city, between the city of Turiy and the port. On the land.

In the early morning, the people of Dionysia gathered from all directions to the Temple of Hera to participate in this annual festival.

The sun in the sky has not yet begun to radiate its brilliance. The Hera Temple is already crowded with people, which has increased the pressure on the patrol responsible for maintaining order.

At the same time, because there are nearly 500 engaged couples who participated in the blessing this year, the temples of the two gods on both sides of the front of the Great Temple of Hera-the goddess of the season Ao Yasi and the goddess of rainbow Iris are crowded by new people.

When the people outside the temple square were crowded and noisy and tossed to death, they vaguely heard the bell from the southwest direction in the city of Turi, followed by a strong sound, they knew that the bell sounded From the huge bell of four tons of bronze cast in the Temple of Hades, it rings nine times in a row.

"One! Two! Three!..." Then the people also unanimously, should ring the bell together, counting to nine (in the folk circulation, Hades birthday is September 9th, so Dionia will not only The annual Hades celebration was changed to September 9th, and every major celebration, the bells of the Temple of Hades were nine rings).

The celebration is about to begin!The people of Dionysian regained their spirits. As for why the Temple of Hades, the Hades, could announce the beginning of the Hera celebration, the Dionysians have long gone into such doubts and have become accustomed to them.For five years, the unremitting efforts of Plesinas and his subordinates have made the Dionysians have long regarded Hades as the guardian deity of the alliance, and the divine giver of stability and prosperity!

The people began to commotion, because they saw a team of musicians holding a lyre, flute, brass, leather drum... came to the temple in front of the temple, standing neatly.A dozen priestess in white robes walked out of the temple and stood in front of the platform.

When the sweet music sounded, the noise became weaker.The priestess began to sing in unison, but this was not a tribute to the goddess Hera, but to her daughter, the goddess of youth Heber, so this new chant was cheerful and lively.

Singing together, in the Temple of Youth, another temple on the front of the temple, dozens of young girls stepped on the light dance steps and jumped into the square. They danced with beautiful songs and changed various queues and shapes from time to time.

Since the inauguration of the Temple of Hades, the spectacular and magnificent dramatic dances have shocked the people of Dionysia, and they have also opened up a new art form, and the priests of various temples regard it as a god. One of the must-have ceremonies for the gala.

Looking at the cheerful dances of the girls on the square, listening to the music with a slightly stronger rhythm, the girls outside the field also couldn't help starting to twist their waists...

After a Hebrew carol, the girls retreated, and the priestess on the temple platform gave a soft resonance, like the sound of nature.

The people all tipped their toes and looked at the temple one after another. They knew: It’s time for the Lord to appear!

A woman walked out of the temple, dressed in plain white robes, wearing a wreath of pomegranate branches, holding a torch lit by a long oil lamp in the temple, with a dignified and calm manner, no trace of flaws could be found in the delicate face, as if the whole Man is the goddess of Hera who has been ceremoniously sculpted and carved by a famous teacher, so holy that he can't bear a trace of profanity.
