At this time, the staff on the mid-ridge platform also began to get busy. They scooped water from the pools in the platform with buckets, and then poured water on the horses passing by...
"Why break the water on the horses?"
"That's because the temperature of the horse's body will gradually increase during vigorous running. If the body temperature is too high for a long time and cannot be lowered, the horse will become sick or even die... So pouring water on the horse to help it cool down can help Protect the horse from getting sick after the race."
"Oh, that's what it is! Why is the animal in the middle indicating the number of laps a dolphin and no other animal? I like elephants and hippos."
"No, I prefer Aunt Eunice's black cat."
"That's because this arena is a racing or horse racing competition. The main object of the competition is horses, and the god Poseidon is the patron saint of horses. So who can tell me, what is Poseidon's animal messenger?"
"I know, I know, it's a dolphin!"
"By the way, it's a dolphin. The silver statue of a dolphin is used to mark the number of laps run by the racing car and the horse. It is a good wish to be blessed by Poseidon and protect the participating horses."
"Oh, so it is! Uncle Apox, does the statue of Poseidon placed in the middle of the arena also hope to bless the horses?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Is it also for this reason that the statue of grandpa is placed there?"
Apox, who answered the children's various questions patiently like an encyclopedia, was stumped, but he tactfully threw the question to his father: "Chris, you should ask your grandfather this question?"
While watching the game, Davos listened to the chattering of his children and grandchildren in his ears. At this moment, he did not have the majesty of a king at all. Instead, he looked like an old man enjoying the joy of his family and said with a smile: "I don't know either. Why, Chris, you have to ask your father, he was in charge of building this arena."
Clotokatax saw his father's intention, and then said jokingly: "I don't know why, because the entire pattern of the middle of the arena was designed by your uncle Alex, and of course I approve it. built."
When the children looked at Alex who was sitting beside Eunice with questioning eyes, the master sculptor, who was usually taciturn, but spoke bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth, said perfunctorily: "Children,
Don't you think this design is beautiful? "
When the children nodded in agreement, Antebris burst into laughter and couldn't help but said, "Brother-in-law, I usually see you so honest, but now you've learned to lie, you might as well just say that your design is just filming. Daddy's ass."
Indeed, the composition and construction of the ridge in the entire arena looks very imposing, but the statue of Davos riding a sword and wielding a sword is obviously larger than the statue of Poseidon riding the waves, and the position is also higher, giving the audience a sense of It seems that the descendants of Hades are more powerful than Poseidon, one of the three main gods.
"What nonsense!" Eunice glared, reaching out and hitting the back of her brother's head lightly.
"Mom, did you see it? Eunice hit me!" Antebris immediately complained to Cristoia.
"How old are you, you are still like children, and you are not afraid of your children's jokes!" Kristoa laughed and scolded.
"Father, mother, and everyone... It's almost noon, you're all hungry. First drink some syrup and eat something." Axikus smiled and walked into the royal stand, followed by four slaves, All held silver plates in their hands, full of sumptuous food.
"I said Axicus, Ribazzo is in charge of preparing the lunch, don't follow along, sit down and watch the game together as a family." Cristoia kindly persuaded.
Axicus smiled and said: "I can't be idle, help Ribazzo-"
"Sit down!" Agnes glanced at him impatiently.
"Hey!" Axicus nodded quickly and sat down. Facing this mother-in-law, who always spoke little, he was always a little nervous.
When he sat down, he immediately picked up a can of slurry and handed it over: "Ivia, here's it for you." ok Composition Network
Avia took it with a smile.
"Everyone, pay attention, there is still the last half lap!" Antebris's shout focused all the eyes of the royal family on the arena.

Turning the last corner, the Egyptian car was still in front, followed by Procris, and the two cars opened some distance from the other cars.
There is a 500-meter straight ahead, and the staff has already pulled up the red cloth at the finish line. The winner of this round will be chosen among the two of them.
Procris was anxious, he looked at the Egyptian racing car on the inside, and his racing car was still a horse head behind him.
The Egyptians are so stable. Since the first lap to the present, they have been in the first place and have never been surpassed. when!
He raised his whip and hit the mare in the middle with a moderate force, shouting at the same time: "Ephra! Ephra! Run! Run! Run!..."
Seeming to understand Procris's words, the beautiful mare shook its slender neck and let out a crisp and pleasant neighing. Its tired hooves moved faster, and the decayed speed suddenly increased again.
The stallions also speeded up and neighed, all trying to show their strength in front of their beloved girl.
Procris's racing car not only caught up with the Egyptian racing car, but also slightly surpassed it.
Seeing this, the Egyptian driver also tried his best to speed up the car.
The two cars raced side by side on the wide track, galloping fast.
The enthusiasm of the audience also reached its peak. Almost all of them stood up and danced. The cheers erupted from wave to wave. This warm race atmosphere not only injected great strength into the riders, but also the horses.
The horses hoofed their hooves into the air, and their originally soft manes and ponytails floated straight in mid-air, and the sweat on their bodies stretched out as their muscles contracted and swayed around...
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Arex again intoxicated in front of the railing.
The distance of 500 meters is just a short moment for a racing car at full speed.
too fast! When the two cars crossed the finish line, many spectators couldn't even tell who had won until the race staff handed the flag of the Holy Kingdom of Dionia to Procris, who wore it and drove the carriage , When walking around the field slowly, the audience applauded him desperately: Can you not be very excited? Because the winner is the Turiyi player, who is the real one!
Procris kept waving to the audience around him and smiled very happily. Although the car race is not over, he will participate in the next races in the next few days, and he may not even win the final championship, but at the moment he completely enjoys it. With his own glory.

On July 15th, the last day of the Dionysian Games, according to the latest medal list announced by the preparatory team, Athens ranked first, followed by the Arcadia League and Love led by Mandinia. Leith tied, and the third place was tied for the Turii region of the Kingdom of Dionia and the Pioxia League led by Thebes. According to the rules set by the Dionysian Games, in the finals of each event, three points are awarded for the champion, two points for the second place, and one point for the third place.

On the other hand, the performance of Sparta, another native Greek sports power, has been disappointing. They have only scored a pitiful two points so far, and the sport it used to be best at - heavy equipment racing, did not even rank. get.
Of course, this is understandable, because since Dionia conquered Sparta and rebuilt the new government, the new Spartan government has long been proud of the original Spartans during the past five years and implemented it for hundreds of years. The political system reformed by Lekugu was thrown into the garbage heap, and naturally the military tradition of survival of the fittest from infancy to the youth, which was long adhered to by Spartan citizens, and still insisted on intensive training until youth was naturally cancelled, and the former Spartan warriors or Farming in the fields, or learning to sail and do business in the port, the physical strength and skills have been abandoned, and it is completely impossible to compete with the strong players.
And it is naturally the players from the Kingdom of Dionia who have replaced Sparta and monopolized the heavy equipment race. Not only in the heavy equipment racing, these Dionia players also include the top players of the newly created 5 military events. 8, and also showed strong advantages in archery, javelin, horse riding, racing, and rowing, which attracted the attention of the invited envoys from friendly city-states and forces, because these competitions are closely related to the military. , from this side can show the strength of Dionia's military power.
