Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

His slave reminded him: Naxos Chief Executive Stromboli invited him to dinner tonight.

He suddenly remembered the matter, and hurriedly called a carriage and drove towards Naxos City at the fastest speed.

There was of course a avenue between Meyaro and Naxos Town. Just 20 minutes later, Galadmos arrived at the Chief Executive’s Mansion.

Under the guidance of the slaves, Galadmos stepped into the living room, where a couch, wooden chairs and dining table had been placed, and candles were lit all around to make the living room extremely bright.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Galad Moss apologized to the welcoming Stromboli to bow down.

"You came early. Theocassis will arrive later." Stromboli greeted him and said with relief: "There are no other outsiders tonight, just the three of us. The gathering of the Dolaras, so don’t be too restrained and treat this as your own home."

"Huh." Galadmos responded.

"Whether you like to sit on a couch or a wooden chair, you choose." Stromboli said, sitting down on the couch in the middle.

Seeing Galadmos pick up a wooden chair and sit down, he patted the pillow next to him and said, "Since His Majesty and Helps have advocated that "dining on a wooden chair is good for health", it has been more than ten years now. , But I am still used to using a couch."

Galadmos said, "Our people in Amendolara often say,'Only adults, you still uphold the tradition of Amendolara.'"

"Don't they often call me too conservative." Stromboli responded.

Galadmos hurriedly wanted to explain.

He waved his hands and smiled, "I don't like their heads and stones, as long as it is good, I still have to learn to accept it, otherwise I will not be able to manage a building that is hundreds of miles away from Amendolara today. The city of Liyuan. The changes in Great Greece over the past decade have been so great, it would be impossible if people weren't able to adapt..." Stromboli recalled the past with a look of emotion.

Galadmos listened attentively.

Stromboli was satisfied with his move and made a gesture to the slave standing by: "Let's serve."

Galadmos was startled: "Master, are we waiting for Dioccass?"

"He is not like you. He comes here often, just like his own home, so you don't have to worry about him at all."

Indeed, it is said that Dioccass came to Naxos with Stromboli, a year before Galadmos, and as an inspector, Dioccass returned to Strom Directly led by Pori, he is an important support for the Chief Executive to govern the city (Inspector, which means patrol and tracing. A new public office after the establishment of the Kingdom of Dionysia. Its predecessor was the patrol captain. Davis raised this originally The bottom level of public office makes it play a greater role in maintaining urban security. Naturally, it is much more closely related than the external system of Galadmos.

The slaves served up a pot of prepared dishes: there were dried fruits such as almonds, figs, pistachios, dates... there were fruits, pomegranates, peaches, plums... there were meat, steamed pork soup, roasted Made lamb, cooked tender chicken... seafood, grilled cod, steamed oysters... of course, wine, beer and squeezed watermelon juice.After a while, the table was filled with food and drinks.

Galadmos looked at him in a daze and couldn't help saying, "This is too rich!"

"Tonight we are going to eat happily and drink to the fullest, but I specially invited the chef of the restaurant Cristoa to cook for us, I believe you will be satisfied!" Stromboli lay on the couch, His face was quite complacent: "I believe that some of the food on this table may be seldom eaten in His Majesty's palace. Who asked Naxos to be closer to Afrika." Stromboli laughed and turned towards The slave standing in front of the living room made another gesture.

A slender, good-looking female with slightly dark skin walked in, and under the direction of Stromboli, sat straight next to Galadmos.

Galadmos was slightly nervous, and shifted subconsciously to the side.

Seeing this scene, Stromboli smiled: "I remember Galadmos, you don't seem to be married yet, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"It's time to find a wife! Strengthen your family's bloodlines early so that your parents can rest assured at the Elysee!" Stromboli's words moved Galadmos.

"But don't look for it in Naxos, because your roots are in Amendola, try to find the daughter of Amendola or Minister Turiy, it will be more helpful to your future! Wait for me when I go back. Look good..." Stromboli exclaimed.

"Thank you for your teaching and help! I..." Galad Moss was touched. He did feel that Stromboli was really thinking about him.

"Alas, we don’t have many real Amenorara people! Only the two of you who work in Naxos... I still remember when we were imprisoned by the Lucanians in the Temple of Zeus, you Father Esakus finally fell down because of hunger and illness, and I was beside him at the time..." Stromboli recalled the past and murmured.

Galadmos's eyes were a bit red.

"Can you tell me if I don't care about you!" Stromboli said this emotionally, but unfortunately the atmosphere was destroyed by the sudden sound from the door: "You don't wait for me, you have already started eating and drinking!"

With this shout, a young man with a burly figure walked into the living room.

"Diocassis sat down quickly and waited for you." Stromboli did not care about the young man's size and size, and beckoned the slaves to serve him quickly.

"Hi, Gala." Diocassis waved at Galadmos and sat opposite him.

Galadmos nodded in tribute.The two are more familiar because they are not very young, and they are also classmates when they are in Turrii School, but Galadmos performs well, and Dioccass is a tough student, so there is little communication between the two. It was only after adulthood that there were more contacts, especially after coming to Naxos.

Dioccass is different from Galadmos, because when Daveus occupied Amendolara, he also had a mother. Finally, the mother remarried like other Amendolara widows. His adoptive father was Dracos, but the relationship between Diocas and Dracos was not good. He did not recognize the adoptive father. Dracos was too busy training soldiers and fighting, and he didn't care much about him.

Until the end of the Southern Italian War (the Syracuse people called the war ten years ago as the "Great Greek War", but the Dionysians believed that the battlefield not only fought with Syracuse, but also with Samonei, Tower Lantum fights, so it is called the "Southern Italian War"), Draco valiantly died and became a hero of Dionysia, a statue stands on the Hall of Heroes, King Daveus and former mercenary veterans fight against Della The family of Kos has been taking care of Youjia, which is unacceptable to Dioccass. In the end, he found an opportunity to come to Naxos to stay away from the comrades in Drakos.

"Adult, I remember that someone just gave you two Numbian slave girls. You can't be partial!" Dioccass shouted at Stromboli as soon as he sat down.

"I knew that your kid would say that, you are indispensable." Stromboli smiled and scolded.

Then another slave girl entered the hall and sat beside Dioccass.

He immediately wrapped his arms around the female slave's waist and asked the other party's name.

Stromboli coughed and asked, "What the hell happened in the city? You came here so late."

"The Prosecutor of Prosmo came to ask me in the afternoon and said that a registered freeman reported to him that his 13-year-old daughter was missing and hoped I could give him support. I just went to understand the situation. He hurried over and prepared to send someone to start the search tomorrow."

After Diocassis finished, Stromboli nodded and did not care too much. When the city of New Naxos was first established, it was full of exiles, free people, interracial people, and even Campani There are remnants of Asian mercenaries, so there are often cases of fighting and fighting, and from time to time, cases of homicide and disappearance. It has only stabilized in these past few years. He believes that the ability of Dioccas can be handled well.

"Adult, this matter is not easy, I am afraid that it is related to Laodicean's house." Dioccass glanced at Galadmos, and Shen Sheng said.

Stromboli was stunned, put down the glass he was about to lift, waved the two slave girls back immediately, and then asked seriously: "Oh, what evidence did you find?"

With a move in Galadmos's heart, his ears were raised.

"The freeman was recently hired by the Laodicean family to guard the wheat field. According to his wife,'Yesterday her daughter was going to give him food and he never saw him back again,' and the freeman said,'He didn't He didn't see his daughter.'..." Dioccass grabbed a plum and took a bite, and continued: "Adult, you know, Pavgiris was just because of chaos in Turriy. Only then will his father be rushed back to Naxos, and there are often rumors of his'abuse of slave girls' in Naxos. I suspect that this matter cannot be separated from him!"

Stromboli was still pondering, but Galadmos couldn't help but had connected the disappearance of the girl with the suspicious incident he encountered in the afternoon. He immediately interjected: "Sir, today I will go to pull Field inspection of the Odyssey family..."

After listening to Galadmos's account, Dioccass even shouted: "Look, even Gala doubts like this! Master, you have to give me a command, I will take someone to Pavgori tomorrow Search in the house!"

Stromboli looked at him and said extremely seriously: "Dioccass, you have to change your impatience. If you have no hard evidence, just guessing, I will not let you search La Odyssey's mansion!"
