Chapter 10 Alexson

Eunice and Ivia came to the Hill of the Gods this time because Cristoia had a cold and her condition was serious. Although they had received active treatment, it had been five or six days and she had not fully recovered. Eunice hopes that her mother's illness will recover sooner, so she decides to ask Hades for blessing.

The main temple of Hades is being rebuilt. In order not to be disturbed, the priests have already told the believers to try their best to worship in other Hades temples in the outer city of Turi. However, in the past, when her parents fell ill, Eunice came here The main temple prayed, and she was quite experienced, so she stubbornly chose to come to Tianshen Hill.

A group of people went up the mountain and immediately alerted the Priest of Wands, Precinus.

Rebuilding the main temple of Hades is the top priority of the kingdom, especially for the priests of Hades. Plessinas stayed on the construction site almost every day, supervising the construction process and helping to coordinate some The difficulties encountered have even pushed back many Senate meetings for this reason.

After understanding the intention of the two princesses, Plessinas dared to neglect, and immediately arranged for the priests to take care of the temporary temple for them to worship and pray.

After Eunice and Ivia devoutly prayed for their mother, Eunice's interest did not diminish, and she wanted to visit the entire construction site.

Plessinas murmured a little about this request, King Davos only came and gave a speech when the project started, and then visited the site in the next few months, so he was not sure that Eunice made this Whether the request came from Davos's behest.

What's more, as far as he knew, Eunice was deeply favored by Davos, so he didn't dare to neglect, he personally accompanied the two princesses, showed them around, and explained the whole project to them in detail.

Plessinas has served as a Hades priest for more than 20 years. Not only is he eloquent, but also has a very rich theological knowledge about Hades (mostly from the compilation of Hades priests), so the boring temple building The process was lively and interesting, making the princess and the guards listen with great interest.

In the mural painting area, Ivia stopped for a long time, watching carefully that the painters used various mineral powders to prepare paints, and then drew sketches of Elysee Paradise and Hell on the wooden boards. Even under the instigation of Eunice, Ivia shyly picked up the brush and tried to draw some patterns, which was praised by Plessinas and the painters.

The construction site is full of men, and two beautiful girls suddenly appeared, and their status is so noble. Of course, it caused waves among the craftsmen and laborers, but under the strict supervision of the foreman and the imposing force of the palace guards. Underneath, they only dared to peep quietly, but they were more energetic in their work.

For Eunice and Ivia, even though most of the men in sight were shirtless men, they didn't feel any discomfort. They had seen them a lot in various competitions in Turii since they were young. Get used to it.

The group chatted and laughed, and turned around the construction site. Eunice suddenly stopped and asked in front of her finger, "Who is that person?"

On the steeper side of the cliff on the west side of Mount Tenjin, there was a man standing motionless, like a statue.

Compared with the hot construction site where everyone worked hard, this person's behavior was too conspicuous, and even Eunice showed a dissatisfied look.

Plessinas hurriedly explained: "His name is Alexson, he is a Tarantum, not a craftsman or laborer who participated in the construction of the temple."

"Tarantum people?" Eunice was a little puzzled, and still questioned: "A temple is being built here, aren't ordinary people not allowed to enter?"

Plessinas explained patiently and patiently: "His Royal Highness, he is a candidate to sign up for the design of the statue on the top of the mountain.

And passed the first test, but he made a request, saying that he had never been to the Hill of Tenjin, and hoped to go to the mountain to investigate and find inspiration to design a perfect mountaintop statue... At first we did not agree, but he actually trespassed in the palace , wanted to petition His Majesty, and was arrested by the guards as a gangster. As a result, after His Majesty heard about it, he actually agreed to his request, so we had to allow him to enter. He has been here for two days, but he has not Wandered around and spent most of the time there quietly. "

The biggest difference in rebuilding the main temple of Hades this time is that a huge statue of Hades needs to be erected on the hill and in front of the temple. Even people, tourists, and pedestrians in the entire plain of Obari, as well as in the nearby mountains, ports, and coasts, can see its light shining, thus demonstrating the supreme power of the patron saint of the Kingdom of Dionia.

King Davos and the Senate required that the statue should not only exceed the Colossus of Athena in front of the Parthenon in size, but also be otherworldly and outstanding in the design of the artistic image of the statue. Under the proposal, the Temple of Hades and the Kingdom Sculpture Union jointly held an unprecedented selection competition. All sculptors and painters in the kingdom can design the colossus on the top of the mountain, so that the best and most perfect works can be selected.

However, candidates must first pass two rounds of primary selection assessment. The judges are all famous architects and painters of the Kingdom of Dionia, so 90% of the candidates were eliminated, avoiding the need to make up for themselves. This person can pass the preliminary examination. Election, obviously capable.

After listening to Plessinas' introduction, Eunice became interested, walked straight over, and came to the man, only to realize that he was a young man in his early 20s. Eyes, let the mountain wind blow loose clothes, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"What are you doing?" Eunice asked curiously.

The young man still stood motionless as if he hadn't heard her speak.

Eunice was a little angry and said loudly, "Hey, I'm asking you something!"

The young man named Aleksson turned his head slowly and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm sorry, please don't disturb my thinking. Also, please go away, you blocked the sun for me."

Eunice has been favored by her parents since she was a child. No one has ever dared to speak to her in such a tone. She immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted sharply, "Hey, do you know who I am?"

Ariksson didn't speak, but waved his hands impatiently, motioning her to leave quickly.

Eunice was really angry: "I am the daughter of King Davos, I order you to get out of the Hill of the Gods immediately, or I will let the guards drive you out!"

This time, Alexson looked directly at Eunice standing in front of him, but there was no fear on his face, but a stern expression that was neither humble nor arrogant: "It is the will of King Davos that I can stand here, I just want to know Does His Majesty's order work? Or your words?"

"You!..." Eunice's anger was suppressed by these words, and she didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Sister, it's time for us to go home!" Ivia's timely shout gave Eunice a step down, she responded immediately, and then said bitterly: "Your name is Ariksson, I remember You are here, we'll see!"

Alexson ignored her threat at all, turned his head, and continued to quietly overlook the mountain.

Eunice stomped her foot hard and turned to leave.

After sending Eunice and her party away, some of the men asked anxiously, "Priest Plessinas, that Tarantum humiliated our princess so much, do you want it?"

Pleshinas shook his head and said, "It's just a farce between young people, don't worry about him. As the faithful believers of Hades, we should have a broad and benevolent mind, otherwise how can we convince the people."

"You are right, I was wrong." The priest immediately admitted his mistake.

Plessinas rubbed his forehead and said, "I'll go to rest for a while, and when Lord Heraclid arrives (the minister of the kingdom), come and tell me immediately that I will also inspect the progress of the whole project with him. "

"Yes."

……………………………………

Davos ended today's political affairs early, hurriedly left the palace, rushed back to the mansion on the mountain, and then came to Cristoia's bedroom, and asked with concern: "How is it? Are you better today?"

Cristoia, who was lying on the bed, hadn't spoken yet, and Agnes, who had not been to the Temple of Hera in order to take care of her these days, said, "Helps came again just now to give My sister underwent diagnosis and treatment and said that her physical condition is much better than before, and she should be able to recover in two or three days."

"That's great!" Davos sat on the edge of the bed, stroked Cristoia's hand, and said seriously, "The weather is good during this time, I suggest you, let the maids support you until The more you walk in the garden, and the more sunshine, the better."

Cristoia cast a glance at him, pulled her hand back sharply, then turned around and lamented, "Don't worry about me, I'm not good, let Persephone pick me up to the Elysee!"

"Sister, don't talk nonsense--" Agnes hurriedly persuaded her, Davos waved his hand secretly, motioning her not to worry, and then said: "Kloto is busy with politics now, and you are not seriously ill, so I didn't call him. return--"

"Oh, I can't do it..." Cristoia immediately lamented again.

"However, he agreed to send Chris back." Davos's next words stopped Cristoia's lamentation abruptly, and she turned around suddenly: "Really?!"

Davers smiled narrowly: "Are you ill now?"

Cristoia hit him and asked anxiously, "Is it true?!"

"The king has no jokes." Davos said with a smile: "It is estimated that our good grandson will be home the day after tomorrow."

"That's great!" Agnes had a rare look of excitement: "I wonder how tall Chris is now?! The last time he left, he was less than a year old, and he couldn't even walk. Take it to Rome..."
