"She...she kicked again!" Kristia shouted, with a happy smile on her face.

Asuna hurriedly ran out of the garden, wiped the dust from her hands on her clothes, and sat down with Cynthia and supported Kristia.

After the three women played and tossed, Kristia felt a little hungry: "Cynthia, your brother has returned. He is playing with little Klo upstairs. You go up and tell them to come down. Let's prepare Dine."

The "brother" Kristia referred to is Cynthia's own brother Adonis. He is eight years old and he is also studying at Turriy School.

Cynthia gave a "Oh", got up to go upstairs, but saw a plate of dark things on the wooden table next to him, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"This is your Aunt Andrea, according to your father's proposal, dried meat smoked with beef and salt, specially sent from Grumentum, let us taste the taste first." Ya said.

Cynthia grabbed a small piece and took a bite: "Somewhat hard."

She chewed hard for a while, and after swallowing it, she said: "After chewing for a long time, the taste is not bad, but it is salty, suitable for snacks."

"Your father intends to use this jerky as one of the soldiers' rations." Cynthia's unintentional words made Kristia's eyes brighten. She only cares about the taste. As for using too much salt, she doesn't care. Since Davers asked the people of Dionian Academy to figure out a way to improve the salt drying method, the production of sea salt has greatly increased, and the price of salt has been extremely cheap.

Cynthia stuffed the whole piece of jerky into her mouth and walked around the garden.

On the other side of the garden, there is a small altar, a stone statue of Artenis with a bow and smiling, the stone statue is exactly one person tall, and the carvings are lifelike. After Lijim's pearl, Aegnes, married Daves, she couldn't forget the years when she was the priest of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, even though Daves changed her to be the chief priest of the Temple of Hera. After obtaining the consent of her husband, she built a small altarpiece of Artenis in the backyard. Unexpectedly, Cynthia became a believer of this goddess. Perhaps it was because the Greeks regarded Artenis as the goddess of the moon, and the night was her world, and the name "Cynthia" originally meant the moon, so naturally there was a sense of intimacy. So Cynthia walked into the main building after praying devoutly to Artenis.

Asuna saw Cynthia entering the building, and hesitated to say to Kristia: "Madam, let's not wait...Will you wait for Mrs. Agnes to come back and have dinner together?"

Christoya was stunned, and immediately smiled: "She is going to prepare for tomorrow's Marriage Day celebration. It is estimated that she will be busy in the temple until late at night. We don't have to wait for her. With her temperament, she won't care. "

"What about the master?"

"Don't wait. The Senate has been meeting and discussing these two days, and I don't know when it will end. It is all due to the nobles and merchants who made trouble in the square...and the **** Pollux!" Kristia was a little irritable about the matter.

……………………………

"Dear elders, not only in Turri, but also in Crimea, Picosis, Amendorara and other cities, there are many people protesting in the square. Please open the door and listen to them. The voices of-listen, they are yelling,'Convene a citizens' assembly!'"

Pollux’s passionate speech was immediately interrupted by Antonios: “As far as I know, Turriy and Crimissa are actually only a few people protesting, and there is no “majority” as you said. ! Moreover, there is no such thing happening in Amendolara and Picosis!"

"Yes, as an Amendorara, I can confirm that what Antonios said is true!" Scombras said.

Polyxis had expected that someone would say this, and immediately sneered: "If you didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that no one has any objections to it. Citizens just hid this kind of dissatisfaction in their hearts and did not dare to vent it. It's funny to think of it. Their request can be said to be very simple, but not too much. Do we have to be so nervous? You know, as long as the city-state established by the Greeks, there must be a citizens' assembly! Even if the time goes back to hundreds of years ago In the age of kings, the citizens’ assembly still exists when there is a king! Only the city-states under the rule of tyrants, because they are afraid of and suppress the people, dare not have a citizens’ assembly, such as Syracuse."

Polyxis said, turning to face Davers, who was seated ahead, and asked courageously: "Excuse me, Archon, are we...were our alliance ruled by tyrants?!"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was shocked.

Davers was calm, as if he didn’t know that Pollux’s words were pointing at him: “Of course not. The Dionian League is under the common management of the senators of the Senate.” Daves said indifferently. There is no trace of smoke in it.

"So, is there a provision in Dionian's law that "prohibits the convening of citizens' assemblies"?!" Pollux grew bolder and continued to ask.

"Of course not." Daves replied unhurriedly.

In this case, it is reasonable and reasonable for the people to call for a citizen meeting. I hope that the Senate will consider this matter carefully and not let the citizens down!" Pollux saw Daves falling into the language trap he had constructed, and said loudly. .

"Master Pollux, convening a citizen assembly is not an easy task." Kunogolata got up and said, "The situation in the Dionian League is very different from other Greek city-states. Our citizens are not concentrated. In a city-state, but all the cities in the alliance, just summoning them is a big problem that takes time and energy! In addition, Dionian citizens are not only Greeks, Lucaria, There are a considerable number of Brutis. They still don’t understand what a citizen assembly is, and they have never participated in a citizen assembly. Holding a citizen assembly rashly will not only make them at a loss, but also may cause the order of the citizen assembly to fall into chaos. , Become a joke for neighbors..."

Kunogolata has counted the difficulties of Dionian’s convening a citizens’ assembly. In fact, he still has a private thought in his mind: as the real power of the Dionian Senate, he does not want a citizen’s assembly to be held, because He is tired of having to please citizens and attack political opponents in the past in Turriy in order to be elected generals...and so on, doing something against his will, and doing anything after being elected, if he is not careful, he may be incited by political opponents to instigate citizens. , Forcing him to step down is far worse than being able to do things steadily now, only to be responsible to the Alliance, to...Davers.

There are actually a lot of people who have similar ideas, such as Cornelus, Scombras... etc., some veterans who have always been the top priorities of the alliance.

"Master Kuno Gorata is right! We, Bruti, don't care about any civic assembly. As long as there is food, women to sleep, and alcohol to drink, it is enough!" Sedorum pretends to be rude Said loudly: "We Bruti believe in whoever is strong and who has big fists, and they will serve them!"

"It's the same with us Lukaria. The citizens' assembly is too troublesome and we are not interested!" Hermon said immediately.

The explicit opposition from the other two major forces of the Senate, Lucaria and Bruti, made Pollux’s face a little ugly, but he still didn’t plan to give up, and continued: “Convening a citizens’ assembly is difficult, but because of We have to give up the difficulties. Is this the style of our Dionians! The construction of the Turiyi-Laos Avenue has to climb over the mountains and mountains, and there are many difficulties. We have not also worked hard for several years, and finally built it. Already!

Citizens have been looking forward to the convening of the citizens’ assembly for a long time. If Dionia was faced with an existential threat at the beginning of its establishment, he had to unify the people’s minds and concentrate on defeating powerful enemies. Therefore, it would take a lot of time and energy for the citizens’ assembly. Stop temporarily, this is completely understandable. But now Dionian is stable and prosperous, and the people are rich and laid-back. As a Greek with a strong tradition of participating in city-state politics, Dionian citizens’ request for the convening of a citizens’ assembly will only go by over time. More and more intense! As the most distinguished representatives of Dionian citizens, I hope you can deeply realize this point and make the right choice in time. Don’t wait until the citizens’ dissatisfaction has accumulated to a dangerous level and then make a hasty decision. That would be detrimental to the Senate and the Alliance of Dionia! "

Polyxis's emotional and implied threatening remarks made many people here slightly discolored.

Davos looked at Polluxis thoughtfully.

"Now, it is up to everyone to vote whether or not to pass this bill to convene a citizens' assembly!" The rotating chairman Cornellus announced loudly.

As usual, the veterans of the Legion family expressed their opposition, and the same was true of the elders of the Lucania family. Most of the real power among the elders also disagreed. Most of the elders of the Lee family. But among those who approve, Daves saw Burkos, Petaru, and even Dionian’s navy commander Enanilus...

Daves squinted his eyes, and a cold light flashed between his eyes.

……………………………

When I came out of the Senate, it was getting late, and it was still cold in the spring night, but the Bolton that Pollux was wearing was basically wet. It was the result of a cold sweat that was scared when I questioned Daves.

Although his motion was rejected again, Pollux now has confidence because he has seen an increase in support for him.

Daves did nothing more than that, next time... he thought excitedly, his steps became stronger, and his conversations with the elders who were traveling with him became louder.

"I don't know why, this timid guy is getting more and more rampant now!" Mariji stood on the steps outside the Senate, looking angrily at Pollux, who was talking and laughing in the distance, and then a little worried. Said to Davers: "My lord, you can't let him be so arrogant anymore!"
