Chapter 369 The Roman Patriarch in Turii (Continued)
Latest Website: Tibrus hurriedly said, "We're leaving right now! We're leaving right away!"
"Wait! Where did you come from? What are you doing in Turii City?!"
Facing the stern gaze of the inspector, Tibrus quickly took out the official document issued by the Rome City Hall and handed it over.
After reading the official document, the patrol officer was very surprised: "You are officials of Rome City, and you are here to participate in the Kingdom Conference?!"
"That's right, Lord Asistes, the chief executive of Rome, did not intend to attend this meeting because of his busy business, but later considered that the Senate and the town councillors may be eager to know the current details of the city of Rome and the Latinum area. , so I was sent to replace him to attend the meeting. At the same time, the new senator Publius was also represented at the meeting on behalf of Rome. Because it was a bit late to make this decision, coupled with the long distance, I only arrived in Tutu today. Riley."
After Tibrus finished speaking, the inspector hurriedly punched his right fist on his left chest, gave a military salute, and said solemnly, "My two adults, I'm so sorry! Now is the time of war, in order to ensure the safety of the assembly, the Senate asked us to inspect During this time, the Ministry is strictly checking any outsiders who enter Turii, so you have to delay your time."
"This is your duty, we should cooperate." Tibrus said indifferently.
"Good, you Tibrus!" Asikalus pointed at him in surprise and dissatisfaction, and shouted, "You are able to attend the Kingdom Convention, yet you are still hiding it from me!"
Tibrus explained embarrassedly: "Master Asistes is too busy to attend the meeting, and the officials of other departments are also busy with business, only the Roman Ministry of Agriculture has enough labor because the land has been allocated. The people here are very cooperative with us, and the spring sowing is progressing smoothly, I am relatively free, so I gave this task to me."
"That's pretty good too!" Asikalus said with both envy and regret: "You are now a city farmer, and I'm a Demo farmer. If I knew this, I should have been with you in the first place. Go to Ladum!"
"You can't compare like that." Tibrus hurriedly comforted him and said, "What you are in charge of is Demo in the central city of the kingdom, Turii. Neither level nor influence is comparable to that of Rome."
When Publius heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, my lords." The patrol officer interrupted their conversation loudly and reminded: "Turii City Hall issued an announcement this morning, in order to ensure the smooth holding of the Kingdom Assembly tomorrow, the inner city gate will be advanced at sunset. Closed, time is running out now.
"Speaking, he also pointed to the sky.
Tiblos immediately became nervous, and cast a reproachful look at Asikalus.
Asikalus immediately defended: "It's not my fault. I went outside the city early in the morning to supervise the slaves' work, so I don't have time to read any announcements!"
"Don't worry, I suggest you get on your horses, speed up, and get there in time." The inspector returned the official document to Tibrus and suggested, "If you encounter another inspector on the road, show this to them quickly. In addition, please be very careful to control the horses so as not to injure pedestrians!"
Tibrus immediately expressed his gratitude, and then instructed Asikalus: "Go back and tell my parents that I will go to the inner city to attend the conference first, and then go home to see them after the conference is over."
"Don't worry, I'll bring the words to you, you guys hurry up and go."
After Tiblos, Publius and the rest of the entourage said their goodbyes, they immediately got on their horses, got into the middle of the avenue, and hurried to the inner city.
In normal times, pedestrians walk on the sidewalks on both sides. Horses and carts, trucks and riders run on the avenue, which is relatively smooth. However, on special festivals, not only the flow of people but also the traffic flow increases sharply, causing road congestion. Before various celebrations and festivals, the Turii Town Hall always sends an additional patrol. At this year's Kingdom Assembly, the traffic in the outer city of Turiyi was much better than in previous years, and the number of carriages and trucks on the avenues was significantly reduced, which was due to the impact of this long war. If it weren't for the news of victory during this period, the confidence of the people of the kingdom and the merchants continued to increase, and the vitality of the commercial market was also rapidly recovering, otherwise Publius and the others would see a depressing scene.
Publius and the others finally arrived at the west gate of the inner city before sunset. After the city guard checked the official document, they let the two enter the inner city.
When passing through the outer city, due to time constraints, Publius took a rough look, but he also gave him a deep impression: although the city of Turii is very large and has many people, the streets are relatively clean and tidy, with various The buildings and houses are planned in an orderly manner, and the former Roman city cannot be compared with it at all. It is no wonder that the Dionians soon began to rebuild the city after they occupied Rome. Obviously, they could not stand the dirty and narrow streets of Rome. and dense.
However, compared with the inner city, the outer city of Turiyi is one grade worse. When Publius was walking on the eight-horse avenue paved with square and uniform stone slabs, the ground was extremely flat, so clean that no rubbish could be seen, and there were tall street trees and emerald green on both sides. Herbaceous plants, the guttering gutter beside it, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but they are all leisurely, walking and talking in a low voice... Just a road makes Publius feel shocked, because it embodies the A civilization higher than Rome, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling that Rome was destroyed by Dionia.
"That is the main temple of Hades in our kingdom. It is a double temple that is rarely seen in the entire Mediterranean, and the temple also enshrines statues of sages and heroes who have made great contributions to our kingdom. There are heroic spirits of warriors who died in battle, you must take the time to go up the mountain to worship...
There is the Palace of Dionia! Let me tell you, a year ago, I followed the commander Burkes to the palace to be received by His Majesty...
This is an elevated water bridge, which diverts the clear river water from the Xubari Plain into the city, so that people in the city can have clean water without leaving the city. It is said that its original design was that His Majesty Davos was inspired by Hades..." As Tibrus walked, he proudly introduced the landscape of the inner city to Publius.
Since Publius entered the city, he has been dazzlingly watching the scenery of the inner city, and the surprise on his face has never faded for a moment.
"Look, that's the Great Council of the Kingdom!" Tiburius' shout drew Publius's gaze from the elevated water bridge that towered across half of the city.
A huge circular white building stood in front, immediately attracting Publius' attention.
"How is it? It's grand enough?!" Tibrus said enviously and proudly: "That's where the Kingdom Assembly will be held tomorrow! That's where you will work in the future, Lord Publius!"
"It is indeed bigger than the Roman Senate!" Publius calmed down and strode forward.
Although the sky was already dark, the main hall of the Great Hall was still open and the candles were lit. After the two identified their identities to the guards at the side door, the guards led them to the duty room in the central hall and saw a man who was writing on the wooden table. , Tibrus hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Respected Lord Antaoris, Roman agricultural officer Tibrus salutes you!"
A few days ago, the Senate received a message from the Roman messenger, so Antaoris stood up and looked at the two in front of him, not surprised at all: "It can be regarded as waiting for you, it's just you Two! It's been hard work all the way!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Publius and said with a smile: "You are the Senator Publius from Rome, right? It's nice to meet you! My name is Antaoris, the Senator of Dionia. One of the five rotating chairmen of the
Publius had learned a lot about the political affairs of the Kingdom of Dionia with Tibrus along the way, so he roughly knew what the position of the rotating chairman of the Senate meant, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Master Antaoris, you it is good!"
Antaoris saw that the Roman was a little nervous and restrained, so he did not continue to show his enthusiasm, but said sternly: "I originally wanted to have a good chat with you and learn more about the current situation in Latium. But Considering that you have traveled all the way and traveled a long way, you must be tired and hungry now. You need a good rest and nourish your spirits so that you can better participate in tomorrow's Kingdom Conference. I will not delay your time. In the meantime, we will find time to talk in detail.”
Before the two could respond, he then shouted, "Prosanus!"
"Sir, please instruct." An ordering officer of the Senate appeared at the door.
"This is the newly promoted elder, Lord Publius! This is Tibrus, the Roman agricultural officer who came to the kingdom meeting in place of Lord Asistes! You take them to the Kingdom Hotel, and you are responsible for making arrangements!"
"OK."
"Lord Publius, I really welcome you to Turii! Here—" Antaoris pointed to the top and said sincerely, "It will be your new home, and I hope we can do well in the future. Work together!"
"Lord Antaoris, Turii is a beautiful and magnificent city, I already like it!" Publius said solemnly, salutes Antaoris goodbye.
On the way across the Victory Square to the Kingdom Hotel, the order officer Prosanus also introduced to Publius the place where Hades performed the miracle, the Turi Spring Pool.
After listening to this magical story, Publius took some time to walk around the pool.
The Kingdom Hotel is a hotel funded by the Kingdom of Dionia. As the name suggests, it is used to receive guests from the Kingdom, such as envoys or VIPs from other countries.
