Chapter 37 The Opening Ceremony of the Dionysian Rugby Finals (4)
Unexpectedly, the complicated situation faced by Sedorum's envoy Samonay at the time. Poulet's words made Vesba sigh, and Hermon admired in his heart: Davers made the 'letter in the Senate'. How wise is the suggestion that the captives of Abenirum are finally released'!
"Although Garni became the leader of Abenerum, this matter is not over." Polert sneered again and said: "Although Shirpini has to face our great strength, he has to Signing the alliance agreement, but Gaerni invites outsiders to interfere in Shilpini's internal affairs, which violates the taboos of the Samona tribes, just because in our shelter, Leskuk dare not do what to Gaerni, but However, he can make other tribes reduce their trade, exchanges, and gatherings with Abenerum, and even let the tribes that moved in have withdrawn from the Abenerum area, wanting to force the weak and weak after the war. The Abene Roma voluntarily exiled Garni to better survive in the mountains."
"Stupid Shilpinis!" Hermon interjected.
"Yeah, the Shilpinis also follow the old ways of punishing tribal leaders who violate traditions, but they don't know how to do this, and they only push the Abenerums toward our Dionysus." Poulet One by one, "we wear the numbernia", and already regard himself as a part of the kingdom of Dionia, although Potentia is actually just a free city belonging to the kingdom of Dionia: "Abenirum had to cooperate with the kingdom of Dionia. Copsa, we Potentia, and Enona have strengthened contacts. During the last two years of particularly cold winters, most of the Shilpini livestock froze to death, and the Abenerum people depended on us Dionia. It was only with our aid that they were able to get through this difficult time, so they became more dependent on us, and even the temple of Hades was allowed to set up on the borders of Abenirum.
However, it is said that the Beneventoum people and several other Samonai tribes have a lot of opinions on Abenerum's approach. It seems that the situation in the Samonai area is calm now. In fact, the two sides have been in constant conflict, especially in the This year, I heard a rumor that the high priests of the four Samonite tribes collectively proposed to hold a savonian ceremony for the whole Samonei people. Discussing the blasphemy of Gellny, the leader of Abenirum..."
"blasphemy?" Vespa was a little surprised.
"It was Gaerni who allowed the people to accept Hades' beliefs and allow Hades' priests to operate in the territory..." Paulette's mood was slightly complicated when he said this. In today's Potentia, most The ethnic group of people not only believe in the god of Mount Asinus, but also the belief in Hades is also very popular.
"Did you mention this when you met His Majesty before?" Hermon asked.
"Do you need me to say more?" Polert pointed to the Abenilum team in the arena: "I heard that Gellney has also come to Turui. I'm afraid he's not just here to watch the ball!"
…………………………
Stromboli, who had returned to Turii, sat behind the podium,
While watching the teams from various towns enter the field, while sipping wine mixed with water from time to time, his expression is quite comfortable.
When he saw the Naxos team passing the rostrum, he applauded and cheered hard. Although he had stepped down as the chief executive of Naxos, the years of life there still made him have a certain affection for Naxos. , looking at the Naxos players on the field waving to the surrounding with joy, he suddenly remembered something and fell into thinking.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Raphias who was beside him change seats with the others, and then a voice sounded in his ear: "Lord Stromboli."
Stromboli turned his head and nodded, "Hello, Lord Tolilaus."
"Well... Thank you for taking care of the people of Naxos in the past few years!" Tolilaus complimented a little unnaturally. He is not good at talking about people, but Stromboli and the elders of Sicily are very good. There is less contact. Although the two are in the same senate, the two sides are unfamiliar. If you don't do this, you can't shorten the distance between the two to facilitate the next conversation.
"That's my duty." Stromboli did not smile because of his compliment: "To be honest, Naxos is not easy to manage."
Tolilaus was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly: "Sicily is not the same as Great Greece after all..."
"What's the difference?!" Stromboli interrupted him and asked rudely: "Doesn't Naxos belong to the kingdom of Dionia?! Isn't it the people of Dionia who live there?! "
Tolilaus was stunned again. Before, he had heard other Sicilian elders say that Stromboli in Amendolara was a stinky and hard stone in a horse dung heap, and it was difficult to get along with. Today's contact is really like this. Tolilaus is also a person of character, he simply did not go around in circles, and asked bluntly: "Lord Stromboli, there are rumors in the past two days that after Miron arrived in Naxos, he sent a patrol team to search. I visited the house of Lord Laodishian, captured some servants, and then searched the houses of Icadas... and other adults. I also heard that the governor of Catanay, Lord Cypros, also searched immediately. The residence of Lord Lacey Peratus in Catane, and... what happened?! Without the approval of the Senate, how can you break into the residence of the elders, search and arrest people at will?!"
Stromboli looked at him with a strange expression on his face: "Dionysian law does not stipulate that the mansion of the senator cannot be searched or the servants arrested, but only the arrest of the senator must be approved by the Senate. As the elder of the kingdom, haven't you carefully understood the laws of the kingdom all these years?!"
Tolilaus was a little embarrassed, how could he remember Dionia's legal articles so many, he coughed dryly: "Lord Stromboli, I want to ask Laodician what crime they committed? "
Stromboli shrugged: "Miron didn't send a letter to the Senate explaining the situation, and I, like you, know nothing about it. But you can ask Lord Terry Todemus, he Maybe know something."
Tolilaus said in a deep voice, "Lord Terry Todmos is in Sicily!"
"Oh... Yes! Yes! I forgot all about it. I'm old, but I don't have a good memory. I still remember them being the ones I entertained at Naxos City Hall." Stromboli patted his head mockingly. , and then said: "Since Terry Todemus himself went to Sicily, what Laodysian and the others have committed will never be trivial!"
Tollylaus was silent, and that was what he was worried about.
"Lord Tolilaus, has your mansion in Naxos been searched?" Stromboli suddenly asked.
Tolilaus shook his head.
"Then what are you worried about?" Stromboli said meaningfully: "I heard that you and Laodicien have always been at odds, and you have scolded him in public several times, 'Every day he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he has no ability at all. !' The Naxos elders headed by Laodyssian don't like to associate with you, and now it seems that your choice is right..."
Stromboli's words lit up Tolilaus' eyes.
…………………………
The last team to enter the field is the Amendolara team. Turii is the center of the Dionysian kingdom, and Amendolara is the beginning of the kingdom. This is what Davos put these two town teams together The purpose of Ichiao's appearance.
There are also many spectators in the arena of Amendolara, and most of the former mercenary soldiers settled in Amendolara. At first, Amendolara was the main source of troops of the First Army. After more than ten years, Amendolara The citizens of Dolara accounted for nearly half of the senior officers in the various legions of the Kingdom of Dionia, which made the small town of Amendolara a very special town in the kingdom, commonly known as the "City of Officers". Citizens of the town all have the experience of serving as soldiers under the Amendolara team officer, which made the audience really applaud and cheer for this team, which is even more popular than the Turii team .
When more than 50 teams stood in the center of the arena, the eight priests carrying the statues in the front chanted the Hades hymn in unison, and then the players and the audience joined in the chant, even Ben did not believe in Hades. Some foreign players such as Abenerum and Pompeii were also led and opened their mouths.
After the solemn and majestic singing ended, Davos walked to the rostrum and said passionately: "Players from various towns in the kingdom, as well as players from friendly neighbors who have accepted the invitation, welcome you to the map. Rey, to the 7th Dionysian Kingdom Rugby Finals!"
After more than a dozen voice transmitters spread the words of King Davos to the audience, there were huge cheers on the field and on the sidelines.
"You've been through so many games and being able to stand at Hades Arena today shows that you are the best rugby players in your city this year! Starting today, in Turii, you will be at Hades Under the watchful eyes of you, continue to exert your superb skills and brave and intelligent minds, unite and cooperate with your teammates, and compete for the strongest rugby team and the best rugby player in the Kingdom of Dionia this year after every fierce game. Title! I wish you excellent results! …”
The players were so excited that they could not wait to hold the game immediately.
At this moment, the drum horn blared, announcing the official start of the finals.
There was thunderous cheers from the audience, who couldn't wait to see the game.
The teams began to withdraw, and only two teams remained on the field, and the game of Turii VS Kopsa officially started.
