Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Do you mean he is lying?" Celisius blinked.

"There is no doubt! But I did not send someone to the address of Katana that the freeman said to continue the tracing. According to the law, he has canceled the report, and the patrol has no need to continue the tracing, and I don’t want to alarm some. Some people..." Dioccass whispered secretly: "It's possible to pay so much money to make a father forget the disappearance of his daughter... Celisis, don't tell me, you can't guess this Who is the man behind the scenes."

"Pavgiris!" Celticus blurted out.

Dioccass finger Celisis, said excitedly: "I also think this is the guy you have told us his'abuse of slave girl' many times!"

At this time, the door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in with the dish, and the two immediately stopped talking.

"Selicis, try this before drinking." Dioccass couldn't wait to grab a large oyster with a slap in his hand. Regardless of how hot it was, he carefully inserted the white flesh in the shell with an iron fork. In the mouth, chew it carefully, then drink the remaining soup in the dry shell at one bite, and pick up another one.

"It's so soft, I can't get used to it." Celisis said, grabbing a roast leg of lamb, and biting off a piece.

"You don't understand this, do you know who invented this "steamed oyster"?"

"I'm not interested in knowing."

"Hehe..." After eating several times in a row, Diorcassis showed a satisfied expression, and then pretended to say mysteriously, "Your Majesty!"

"Really?" Celis Weston was surprised.

"Do I still lie to you! Seven years ago, when Davis went down to inspect the military harbour under construction in the large port of Tarantum, he saw these things all over the reef beach, and the workers were still smashing them , With mud and volcanic ash, ready to be poured into boulders to facilitate the construction of a pier. His Majesty immediately stopped their behavior, saying they were spoiling good things, and asked the guards to collect the oysters, please ask the navy general to inspect together that night We had an oyster dinner, and they told them that eating this would enhance the man’s ability...Since then, the restaurant Christoia has added one more dish—steamed oysters, coated with oyster meat. Soy sauce, boiled in boiling water, the taste is really beautiful!"

The intoxicated look of Dioccass made Celisis stunned: "It turns out that "eating oysters can improve the ability of men" is said by His Majesty. I thought it was made up by restaurants to sell this kind of stuff."

"Otherwise, how can your majesty easily cope with the two beautiful princesses and have so many children. Besides, without this thing, I would not dare to go to the brothel frequently." Dioccass said jokingly.

Celisis didn’t dare to take the stubble. He turned to look at the closed door and said in a straightforward manner: “Don’t joke, talk about the business. You want me to check Chapavgres for you ?"

"Not for me, but for yourself!" Dioccas nodded with his finger and smiled slightly: "Don't you want to go to Turri at the end of the year?"

Celisis heard this and opened his eyes.

The "go a trip to Turri" mentioned by Diocassis is not to go to play, but refers to attending the Dionysian General Guardian Conference at the end of each year, but not every city There are places to participate. There are three places for escort officers in a city like Naxos. Only escort officers with outstanding performances can be elected.And reflecting the suffering of the people, safeguarding the interests of the civilians, exposing violations of the law, corruption and fraud are the main duties of the civil protection officials. The main jurisdiction of Celissis is because of the constraints of the Laodicean family. Most of the problems have not been solved well, which has affected the public's perception of him. Naturally, none of the three escort officers elected by the Naxosian people every year has him.

According to the law: the escort officer is mainly responsible for the Demos where he is located. Of course, he can also participate in the affairs of other regions when other Demos escort officials do not act or need assistance.This time, if Celissis could seize Pavgris' braid by this matter, deter Laodicean's family and avenge his grievances for the free people, it would surely attract the attention of the Naxos people.

Thinking of this, Celisis had a little more blood in his eyes. He leaned forward and leaned forward, saying, "You inspectors have given up this case. I am a escort officer. In addition, what role can it play, I do not have the right to forcibly search the public houses!"

"Celisi, as a Procurator of Prosmo, the people there are close to you and can get some news that I can't get. You are familiar with the environment there and can avoid the family's attention and reach The purpose you want..." Dioccass talked eloquently, then he lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Tell you an important news, one of my friends watched in the field of Laodixian's house yesterday afternoon When two slaves from the Laodicean family appeared from behind the mountain in their field, they were very panicked when they saw my friend and turned to escape... This situation is very suspicious. I am afraid it is related to the missing girl. The girl is imprisoned somewhere in the mountain or—"

"Kill her!" Celisis squeezed the leg bones in her hands: "Do you remember I once told you that'Pavgrís abused slave girls and possibly even killed slave girls'? ?"

Dioccas nodded: "Now you have a chance to confirm this rumor."

"Is your friend Galadmos?" Celissis asked cautiously again, seeing Dioccass slightly surprised, so he said: "Because I know that only he went to Laodi yesterday afternoon The village where the Xi’an family lives is inspecting the fields, and since he said it, I am relieved."

Celisis resolutely said, "I'm in charge of this matter!"

"Great, let's have a drink! Good luck to you!" Dioccass raised the wine can.

………………………………

For seven days in a row, Prosmo was as calm as usual.The farmers carefully took care of the wheat field that was about to mature, waiting for the harvest to come.

The city of Naxos is much more lively. Stromboli participates in the farewell banquets organized by colleagues and businessmen every day, while the people in the city are cheering for the final football team of Naxos and heartily. Bless this team for their excellent results in the Kingdom of Dionysia Rugby Finals after going to Turui for the Hades celebration on September 9.

At dusk on the eighth day, three people trek through the mountains west of the town of Meyaro.The man in the middle was Celisis, who carried a pickaxe on his shoulder.The slender man in front could not help observing the surroundings, and at the same time, using the long stick in his hands, he kept plucking away the grass and branches that almost covered the mountain road.

"Uh, Afitis, we have been walking for so long, how come we haven't found it! Wouldn't you have forgotten the place?!" the man behind couldn't help complaining.

"Provalles, I tell you, my memory is very good. I still remember clearly what happened 10 years ago, not to mention just a year ago, let’s say the situation is so special that day, How could I forget!" Afitis retorted.

"But what if you read the wrong place? You see, the dense trees here make me dizzy." Provalles said unconvincedly.

"I am the best archer in the 8th Legion Light Infantry Brigade. My eyes are very good. I can see your face clearly within a mile!" Afitis said confidently.

Provalles snorted, and wanted to say it again, Celis in the middle asked, "Afitis, how far is it from where you said?"

"It's about time, Captain." Afitis pointed to the front with a wooden stick. "Bypassing this mountain beam, I reached the back hill of Laodixian's field."

Celisis looked forward, the thick trees blocked the view, and could not see the road at all. The sunset light penetrated the next beam of light from the gap between the leaves, making the surroundings look a little dark.

He asked with a little worry: "Will the sun set when he gets there?"

"No, this season will not be dark until 21:00, so it's too late!" Afitis said confidently.

Just after crossing the mountain beams, Afitis motioned the two to stoop down.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the line of sight immediately became very wide, and the scenery of the forest in front was panoramic.

Afitis pointed to the front and whispered: "I went to the mountain to hunt a year ago, and it was here that I saw something burying Paphogris and his slaves opposite..."

"Why didn't you dig at the time?" Provalles asked.

"That's Pavgris! His father is a veteran of the Kingdom of the Elders, his brother-in-law is also a veteran of the elders, and even a former Catania conqueror. I won't be contaminated by these troubles! If you were not the captain I have asked many times, and I will not come today!" Afitis had some fear in his eyes.

Celisis patted his shoulder as an encouragement.

Afitis observed it for a while, and said, "There is no one on the mountain in front, let's go down."

"We have been observing for several days, just because we have confirmed that there are no more slaves of the Laodicean family on the mountain opposite these two days!" Provalles said.

"Stop talking as little as possible after a while!" Celisis reminded.

The three of them walked down the narrow mountain road and finally came to the mountain.

"Just right in front." Afitis said with a little excitement, he was walking forward with a little difficulty under the almost one-height tall grass.

The trees in this area are more lush and leafy, so the light is darker, and the faint sound of flowing water can be heard. Only after careful observation can a small stream flow into this crooked stream under the cover of mountains, fallen leaves, and dry grass. In Pianshan'ao, the dense red insects in the black and red streams are dancing nonstop, making people feel creepy, but also let people understand why this piece of vegetation grows so fast, the land is too fertile.

The three stepped on the soft soil, one foot deep and one foot, struggling forward.

"Ah!" Provalles exclaimed.

"What's the matter?" Celices asked back quickly.

"Something...something climbed onto my feet!" Provalles shivered all over.

Circus carefully plucked the grass and saw a huge toad lying on his feet.
