Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After passing through the checkpoint, the carriage drove straight north and crossed the east side of the port market. The shops and crowded people on both sides did not attract the attention of Isocrate and Lucias. After they learned about the busy port of Turui, they also had a preliminary estimate of the market situation, but even if they prospered, how could they compare with the famous Agora market in Athens, which is famous all over the Mediterranean.

However, the direction of the carriage caused the attention of Lucias: "Hey, the city of Turui is in the west, you are going north."

"Don't worry," Sperry said. "Because the carriage goes straight west, not only goes through a more crowded, longer-distance market, but also to the west of the Temple of Hera and the map not far from it. The Iraqi Arena (With the increasing popularity of rugby and football matches, the arena in the city of Turai is not enough. The Turley citizens collectively raised funds the year before, and built an arena outside the city, due to the arena in the city. It is the venue for the finals of the teams in the Dionysian, so it is named the Grand Arena of Dionya, and this is called the Turai Arena. It is now in May, and the football game is In the most intense time, because the new Turui champion team will be selected to participate in the final finals, so many people go to watch every day, the road will not only become very crowded, but also may cause trouble. We would rather reach the city of Turui around the distance, and it will be much faster than going straight west."

"It turned out to be the case." Lucias nodded. He had heard about a unique ball game in Dionya. He had heard about it, but he had experienced hardships and had been busy with his livelihood, plus he was old. Not very interested in this kind of sport that is said to be very violent.

But Isocrates’ eyes brightened and said, “Can you tell us about this kind of football game in Dionia?”

Lucias looked at Isocrate a strange look and felt that it was not in line with the hobby of Isocrate, and it must have its meaning.

His words were scratching to the itch of Sperian, and he immediately rushed to the two men from the origin of football, the rules have been to the establishment of the Dionysian football finals.

Isocrates watched the truck drive onto a new avenue (Tua Avenue) and then turned to the west. Apart from the narrower road surface, the road facilities were not much different from the port avenues; while listening to Sperian Describe the history of the football game in the development of the Dionysian League.

From the short time that the passenger ship was on the pier to the port, he had discovered a characteristic of the people of Dionia. To the bad, it is called stagnation and dullness; to be good, it is said to obey the order. The port is the most chaotic place in the city-state. The port of Turui is also relatively prosperous. There are few phenomena of noisy, fighting, and fighting, and there are few scenes of loud talk and noisy. This is impossible for the Athenians. Because they are always passionate, unrestrained, proud, like to debate and boast of the history of the city.

Listening to the porters, the whole people liked such a brutal and rough movement, and realized that there might be some kind of tyranny in the seemingly introverted character of the Daonians.

"We are the first time to come to Turui. Is there any fun place here, is it worth visiting?" He suddenly interjected.

Lucias looked at him again.

“Worth visiting?” Sperian glanced, and then laughed: “I said two guests, to Turui, you should not say that you are visiting, but should come to enjoy the entertainment, here is for you. There are too many things to play.

First of all, Cristoya restaurant, you have to go! There is the best food in all of Greece and even the whole Mediterranean.

Secondly, take a bath in the hot spring bathing area on the Tirol River in the west of the city, so that you can not feel the benefits of taking a bath.

As I said earlier, I went to the Tuliyi Arena to watch rugby and football matches, but it is hard to say that you can still buy tickets this season.

Also, you can go to the Tulare Hospital to see the disease and discover the diseases hidden by you. You must know that Dr. Turui’s medical skills are very high because they have been taught by the gods.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot, you must go to the Temple of Hades in the city to pray! That is the only man in Hades that is in the world, and it is very magical! Every time I went there to worship, talked to the priest, and after I came back, I felt very relaxed, just like taking a hot spring bath..."

Isocrate and Lucias listened to Sperry's inexhaustible introduction to Turui, and they exchanged eyes from time to time.

At this time, the truck had arrived near the north gate of Tuli, with a tall arch of white marble standing in front.

Lucias recalled some of the information she had heard about the city of New Turui, and said uncertainly: "Arc de Triomphe?"

"Yes, the Arc de Triomphe! The second Arc de Triomphe!" Sperry said excitedly: "This is the Arc de Triomphe that was built the year before. The army that has returned will take this as a starting point to enter the city of Turui and accept the Dionya. The cheers and review of the citizens, that is the greatest glory in the life of every participating citizen! I have participated once, after the conquest of Brudy, we also sent part of the light infantry (that is, the two thousand free people) that we temporarily recruited. The outstanding people followed the army to the city... Hey! All the people of Dionia are cheering for us, the beautiful girls are throwing flowers to us, and the excitement of our respected consuls. The speech, the scene I have never forgotten in my life!...and I also met my beautiful wife after the triumphaling!..."

Sperian looked intoxicated, and after a long while, he sighed: "Unfortunately, these years have been too quiet, there is no war, of course, there is no triumphal, oh..."

"Listen to what you mean, you actually want to have a war?!" The sharp Isocrate asked immediately.

"Of course, no war will happen, we will not be able to participate in the war. If we can't participate in the war, we will not be able to shorten my inspection period and become a formal citizen of Dionia as soon as possible, and we will not be able to obtain a fertile 'partition'" Sperian does not Hesitantly blurted out, and then he saw the strange expression of the two people, and immediately explained: "But we Diaonians seldom take the initiative to invade others, all others take the initiative to invade us, will us usher in our counterattack... ..."

Isocrates apparently did not believe the porter’s words.

"But the war will lead to death, in which there may be your friends... or relatives..." Lucias said in a warning tone.

"Of course I know that the priests of Hades have warned us, 'Any good thing is never easy to get.' We are not afraid of death, because this is the land that Pluto is blessed, if my heroic war is dead, my wife The child will receive the rich pension and care of the Alliance, and my soul will return to the Hall of Heroes of Hades, guarding our alliance!...” Sperian’s face is a little calm, a little firm, and even a trace Oh, there is no fear.

This gave Isocrates and Lucias great shock.

"Arc de Triomphe, I am coming!" Sperry drove to the front of the Arc de Triomphe, shouting excitedly, as if he was winning.

Isocrates frowned, looking up at the numerous reliefs on the arches and the statue of the flag of the Legion. The voice of Sperry was ringing in the ear: "The sculpture was led by Davers to lead the army. Tum defeated the scene of the Meip coalition... That was the third army's defeat of the Lucania rebel and the recapture of Picosis. (There was propaganda by the Senate, and the people thought that Picosis was a Greek city. So it's 'recapture', not capture...) And the scene where Davers led the army to conquer Bruty, the one I attended. There is also a funny story about this relief~www.novelmtl.com ~ According to others, the elders of Bruti in the Senate have protested the embossing of the original Brudy war, which is not conducive to unity. But the elders of Lucalia retorted, 'We Lucanias have already I was engraved three times and didn't say anything. You Brutus are anxious. 'Haha, just like this, the Brutus protests will not be able to..."

Listening to the smile of Sperry, looking at the Arc de Triomphe, Isocrates could not laugh at all.

.................................

"Lucias, since you received your brother's letter and rushed to Athens, we haven't seen it for nearly 20 years?" Kunogora looked at Lucias, who was too old to recognize. Said with emotion.

"Yeah, my father died that year, I rushed back to Athens to mourn, and caught up with my brother's business in trouble, had to stay to help him. Then... Athens suffered a fiasco in the war against Sparta, 30 The lord came to power, my brother was persecuted, the property was taken... There have been so many things in these years that I have not been able to come back to attend his funeral when the teacher died..." Lucias looks like a calm face I can't stop the confession and sorrow in his low voice, and there is still a bit of exhaustion.

"You know everything about you. At the time, Turui was also facing difficulties and could not help you. It was just that the teacher kept chanting your name before he died. Who told you that he is his most proud disciple!" Nogorata said, seeing the tears flashing in Lucias's eyes, he turned the subject and joked: "How did you make a fortune in Athens recently? Such a valuable Athens black painted ear pot is delivered. Four or five?"

"I don't have the talent to be a businessman. Of course, I can't be a rich man, so my father gave the weapons workshop to my brother to manage." Lucias laughed at herself.
