The two were moved by what Daves said in his letter that "a grand and unique sports meeting will be held", and they came.

In order to show respect for them, Davers invited them to the royal stand.

As soon as the two came in, they were attracted by the band entering the arena.

"What's the name of this music? It sounds very good." Xenophon, like many Dionian allied audiences, was moved by this light and powerful melody and asked curiously.

Daves hasn’t answered yet, Plato took over: "The March of the March", this is a piece that must be played during the march of the Dionian army. It was composed by King Daves.

Xenophon was surprised: "I didn't expect Davers that you still have this talent!"

Xenophon still used to use the common name in Persia when he talked to Daves in private, and Daves never cared. At this moment, he humblely said: "These are all from the great Hardy. A little bit of enlightenment from Si, and the final completion of them is the credit of the palace musicians."

"The tune is great! But how is it possible to bring so many different instruments and so many musicians together to play such a harmonious and beautiful melody instead of creating a chaotic and noisy sound? !"

Not only Xenophon was surprised, the Greek people in the audience were almost surprised, because traditional Greek music is mostly played by a single instrument, occasionally in ensemble, but also between a few instruments and a few musicians. It’s a big ensemble with such a huge band and so many instruments (some of which come from other races, and the Greeks don’t know them yet). It’s completely beyond their understanding of music. They are all curious: Dioni How does Yaren control such a huge band and let it emit a grand, heavy and layered melody?

"Do you know Ferosanus?" Plato asked Xenophon.

"Of course I know that I used to be a music poet in Syracuse..." Xenophon hesitated for a moment, and did not continue.

Ferosanus is quite original in the format and melody of musical poems, so he has a lot of fame in Greece. He has also published poems at sports games in Greece. After he joined Dionia, he made a greater breakthrough in musical poetry, but because of the passages in his poems praising Hades and King Daves, he was once publicly condemned by several priests of the Holy Land. Not to be seen by the senior leaders of the Greek city-states, but many Greek scholars cherished his poems in private, and experienced the improvements in the format and rhyme of music poems in detail.

"Ferosanus is a teacher at the Faculty of Arts of Dionian College. In addition to teaching students how to write poetry, he is also studying how to make different instruments play a harmonious melody. I have seen He organized students to play music, just like now, you see, the old man standing at the front of the band is Frosanus!"

The reason why Plato is so familiar with Ferosanus is that after he was expelled by the Athenians during the Greek War, he took the students to Turíy, accepted Daves’ invitation, and served as After working with the teachers of Dionysia Academy, he also carefully visited other teachers and students outside of teaching time to study the operation mechanism of the whole academy, hoping to learn from it and improve the teaching of Akademi Academy.

At this time, the band had already circled the field and entered the center of the field near the royal grandstand to line up, but the music continued.

"So it is." Although Xenophon also treasures the poems of Ferrosanus, he has not seen him. He stared at the old man in front of the band who kept pointing with a stick. Suddenly said: "If you want such a huge band to play a harmonious melody, you need a commander, just like an army commander, who is responsible for arranging troops and arranging who will attack first and who will attack later. Only in this way can the strength of the soldiers be fully utilized to achieve victory..."

Xenophon is worthy of being the civil and military scholar who wrote "On the Cavalry", using war as a metaphor. But the orchestra conductor is not so simple to be able to serve, Ferrosanus has studied for so many years and has only achieved little success... But Davers is not prepared to explain more, to sweep Xenophon's interest.

Although Olympia did not send priests to participate in the training and selection of the referees of the Dionian Games, but because Dionia promised that the Games would not specifically sacrifice Hades, Olympia still accepted the invitation and sent As a representative, a priest came to watch the sports meeting.

The priest of Olympia, Persias sat on the VIP table with a critical and prudential attitude. When the other VIPs were surprised by the grandeur and excitement of the Hades main arena, and moved by the band's performance, he But he sneered at this: The Games are the Greeks' respect for the gods and their love for sports. These grandstanding things are useless!

At this moment, he heard the host's shout: "Now, please enter the referee team of this sports meeting!"

He immediately cheered up.

The band's performance has also changed from "March of March" to "Song of Hades".

Along with the quiet and solemn melody, more than 200 priests in white robes entered the arena in loose columns. Walking in the front is a teenager from the Turiyi School. He held it solemnly. Wooden sign engraved with the words "Judges".

Behind the young man was an old priest with a nice smile. When he looked at the auditorium, the Dionian audience in the stadium suddenly became excited: "It's the priest of Cardias!!!"

10 years ago, Cardias was transferred back to Turíy to serve as a priest in charge because of his outstanding missionary achievements in Rome. He took over the affairs of the Temple of Hades in the Riy area, and Plessinas also recommended him as his successor. With Davers's consent, he would be promoted to the priest of the scepter at the end of the year.

At this time, as the chief referee of the entire referee team, he walked in front of the team.

As the referee team moved forward, the Dionian audience sang the hymns of the gods loudly, because more and more temple priests were recognized by the people outside the court.

The Greek audience was surprised that there were many priests in the referee team who were obviously different from the Greeks, and through the singing of the nearby Dionian audience, they learned that these aliens were partly from the Temple of Hades , Part of it comes from other foreign temples, such as the Savoni Temple in Samore, the Maharashtra Temple in Bruti, the Balhamun Temple in Carthage, the Temple of Diana in Rome...

Although Olympia also received a notice from Dionia about "the priests of various temples form a judging panel", at this moment Persias saw so many priests of different gods and different races so quiet and obedient. Walking in the same team, he couldn't help but breathe in his heart, and suddenly felt a trace of anxiety about being isolated: weren't we the only Olympia and Delphi priests who didn't participate in it? !

At this moment, he suddenly heard a Dionian veteran next to him say in surprise: "The young man holding the sign seems to be Christod, the grandson of Majesty Daves?"

"It doesn't seem to be, he is! My youngest son is classmates with him. This time he was not selected to participate in the opening ceremony of the sports meeting. He went home and cried with me."

……

The hot discussion of the Dionian officials on the VIP table naturally attracted the attention of the Greek city-state envoys. After Dionian became the overlord of the Greek world, they certainly had a detailed understanding of the Dionian royal family: Hades Daves Christod, grandson of King Dionian Daves and son of Crown Prince Cloto Catacs, according to the eldest son of Dionian royal family, he is very likely Become the next king.

In the early days of the establishment of Dionia, when the royal family members of the generation of Cynthia and Klotokatax were studying at the Turíy Inner City School (the school was located on the easternmost side of the Krati River Delta, next to Dio Niya School). At that time, the population of Turiyi was not very large. The children of the citizens of the inner and outer cities were all enrolled in Turiyi Inner City School, so most people in Turiyi knew members of the royal family. By the time Christod was studying, because of the expansion of the population of Turiyi and the complete establishment of the royal family’s prestige, not only was it difficult for children in the outer city of Turiyi to enter the inner city school, but also when Christod was attending school, there was also a court. Guards protect, so it is normal that most of the Dionian audience didn't recognize him when he first entered the field today.

When his identity is exposed and the eyes of thousands of viewers are focused on him, the young Christod will inevitably feel nervous. Fortunately, Calcidis has been calmly comforting him: "Child, don't be afraid! The audience is not malicious. On the contrary, they are happy for the successor of the Hades royal family. Listen, they are cheering for you! You should give them a smile and thank them!"

Christod’s character is more like his father, and he was taught carefully by his grandma when he was very young, and he was very particular about dealing with people, so even though he was still a little nervous, he still held tight. Holding the wooden sign, he turned his head and squeezed a smile to the audience.

The cheers of the audience grew louder.

Soon, he walked to the front of the royal grandstand, and clearly saw his family standing in front of the railing at the front of the stand: kind grandparents, gentle father, strict mother, gentle grandma The aunt (Cynthia), the more lonely second uncle (Apox), the boyish uncle, the beautiful sister... all waved to him and smiled at him.
