Chapter 66 The Arrival of Hippocrates

After listening to Crotokatax, he also realized something, and asked humbly: "Father, how can I control my temper well?"

"The main thing is to have self-confidence! This self-confidence comes from your ability and your strength. Ability, you can get it when you keep learning and practicing, and I believe you can handle any problems that arise. And strength, you see—" Davos turned around, pointed to the towering royal palace, and said in a deep voice: "The powerful Dionysian Legion stands behind me, with millions of people who love me, and the insults of those elders are like dirt dogs. To the male lion, you can't hurt me in the slightest, so why should I care, I can also take the opportunity to show my kindness and generosity..."

Davos taught his children unreservedly, and Clotokatax was thoughtful.

After walking for a while, Davos suddenly sighed: "Time flies fast, you are all grown up, and Cynthia is married in a blink of an eye, it's really lively!... Think about when I was your age, I was still herding cattle and sheep for others in Thessaly. At that time, there was a girl a few years older than me in the neighbor's house, and she took good care of me. I...I like her better..."

"What about later?" Crotokatax asked hurriedly with a move in his heart.

"What later?" Davers deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"That girl!"

"Later..." Davers pretended to remember, thinking, and said, "She married my employer's son, and I married your two mothers... Now that I think about it, I was too young at that time to be able to She is the only young girl I have come into contact with, liking her is just a young impulse and gratitude. In fact, she never liked me, and the real marriage that Eros gave me did not come until I met you mother..."

Davos finished the story he was making up with a pretense of emotion, and Crotokatax fell into silence.

The father and son walked up the hill quietly, but Davos did not walk straight into the mansion, but turned around and overlooked the city of Turii under the hill, and Crotokatax had to stop.

It was already late at night, and it was almost impossible to see the lights in the city. In the night sky, the bright moon hangs and emits a bright silver light. Under the shroud of the moonlight, the high and low, large and small houses extend into the distance, quiet and serene, with a few barks occasionally echoing in the night sky.

"What a wonderful city!" Facing this situation, Davos said with emotion: "Kroto, do you know how your name came from?"

"I know! When I was born, the Crotone army attacked. Father, you led the army to defeat them and forced them to sign a covenant, so I have this name!" Crotokatax replied. At times, the words are full of pride.

"My king was elected by the people, and they hoped that I could lead them to defend their beautiful homeland! One day, when I get old, this position will be inherited by you! To protect the security of the kingdom and the interests of the people, let the king All cities in the country can always be as peaceful and peaceful as Turiyi tonight... These will be your responsibilities!" Davos pointed to the city down the mountain with his left hand, and pressed his right hand on Crotokatax's shoulder. , said in a deep and earnest voice: "This responsibility is very important! It is related to the lives and happiness of millions of people in the Dionysian Kingdom! My child, you don't have much free time, you must always be prepared for it!  … "

Davos's words made Crotokatax feel extremely heavy. He looked at the quiet city under the mountain...

For a long time, some perseverance gradually increased in some confused eyes...

…………………………

In April in Turii, the people are happy. After experiencing the lively Hera celebration and Princess Cynthia's marriage, the All-Greek Scholars Conference was held.

Although most of the hard-working and hard-working ordinary people of Dionysus did not care much about this, it was undoubtedly a problem for scholars, teachers, students, and even the knowledge-loving Greek people in the whole kingdom and even in Greece. An unprecedented academic event. They poured into Turii from all sides of the kingdom, and even from all sides of the Mediterranean, making the entire Turii area lively again. Not only the hotels in the urban area and the port were full, but many Turiyi people also accepted the accommodation of outsiders in their homes, thus earning a small sum of money.

Consumption has grown, and business taxes have skyrocketed, and Turiyi has enjoyed the benefits of being the central city of the kingdom.

Eulopes, a merchant from Agrigento, often came to Turii to buy a large number of wines, and then pulled them to the southern coast of Sicily to sell them. He was very familiar with the port of Turii, but today he went After the pier, I found that the surrounding situation was very different from before.

On the west side avenue exiting the pier, there are many young people in white robes looking towards the pier, holding a wooden sign in their hands that reads "Dionysian Academy". A small number of people almost blocked the west entrance and exit of the wharf. There was an inspection team nearby, and they did not stop them to ensure the smooth flow of the road. Instead, they directed the laborers who transported the goods to bypass the avenue on the east side of the dock.

Eulopes, who has been doing business in Turii all the year round, has a good understanding of the situation here. He knows that there are only two types of people in Turii who often wear white robes. One is the temple priest, and the other is the school teacher and the academy. (the outstanding young students of Dionia Academy are required to teach at the school). And these people in white robes in the port obviously do not have the solemn and peaceful temperament of Hades priests, the biggest possibility is the teacher.

"Excuse me, what's going on in Turii recently? Why are so many teachers coming to the pier?" Eulopes curiously asked a citizen on the side of the road who was also looking at the pier. As a businessman, curiosity is an essential quality in order to discover business opportunities.

"Aren't you a Dionysian?! Who in the kingdom doesn't know that the Dionysian Academy in Turui is about to hold the All-Greek Scholars Conference, which is a major event that will shock the whole of Greece!" This Turian is extremely proud He said: "In the past few days, many famous scholars from various city-states have arrived in Turii, and those young people are here to meet them. Yesterday, I also saw Lord Ancitanos personally come to meet the people from Thebes. Corbis and Antisthenes of Athens, do you know which famous scholar will come today?  …”

As he was talking, he suddenly showed surprise: "Why are the respected Lord Helps and Lord Stacey Cordas here?!"

At this moment, these two Dionysian elders who have saved countless lives and are highly respected (Stacey Cordas was also elected to the Senate after being proposed by Davos a few years ago) and they are both old people over 50 years old. With a group of doctors hurried to the pier. It not only made the public curious, but even the young teachers who were tasked with welcoming scholars were amazed: If these two adults could spend their precious time for medical treatment and research to come here, who would the scholars they want to welcome? !

Hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes looked at the pier trestle that Helps and others rushed to.

I saw a white-haired old man who got off the passenger ship that had just docked, and walked slowly towards the shore with the help of others.

Helps looked at the visitor with a lot of emotion in his heart: back then, it was because of the old man's inspiration that he decided to pursue medicine, and he planned to go to Kos Island to learn medicine from him. He met Davos, but instead he became who he is today.

But even today he has achieved success, and his heart is still full of respect for the old man.

Helps hurried up to meet him and shouted excitedly, "Mr. Hippocrates!"

The old man opened his turbid eyes and looked suspiciously at the group of people who hurried towards him: "Who are you?"

"My name is Helps, this is Stacey Cordas, our doctor of Dionia!" Helps introduced loudly.

Hippocrates closed his ears with his right hand, and after listening, he smiled knowingly: "Oh, you are the writers of "Human Anatomy". You are amazing! Please don't call me teacher, you are me teacher!"

"Mister Hippocrates, don't say that. In the tradition of our Dionysian Academy of Medicine, any doctor with extensive medical experience and unique ideas in medicine should be respected as a teacher, not to mention you are Let us get rid of the ignorance and use careful thinking to explore the source of the disease. The pioneer and pioneer of the "Doctor's Oath" written by you have been remembered by all the doctors in Dionia. You are our well-deserved teacher!"

After Helps finished emotionally, the doctors behind him recited in unison: "I will keep my oath, and I will never change my mind!

I have the same respect as my parents for the teachers who taught me medical skills.

To my students, I want to impart medical knowledge with care.

I will do my best to take medical measures that I think are beneficial to the patient, without causing pain and harm to the patient.

I don't give poison to anyone, and I never authorize anyone to use it.

I want to practice medicine and live a clean and innocent life, no matter who I enter, it is just for the sake of treatment, I will not do whatever I want, I will not accept bribes, I will not seduce the opposite sex, and I will never disclose any private life I see or hear that should not be spread..."

The resounding voices of the doctors rang from the pier, reaching the ears of the onlookers. Some of the teachers shouted excitedly: "I know who he is! Hippocrates! He is Hippocrates!"

Among the students of the academy who are on the task of meeting today, they are mainly students from the School of Philosophy and the School of Mathematics, but the academy does not restrict them from auditing courses in other colleges, and even allows them to discover their true feelings after a period of study. After acquiring the knowledge you are interested in, you can change the direction of your own learning.
