lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

The consul of "Daves’s clerk, because he often came to the team to convey Davers’ orders, and many people knew him well, so Asistus stood on Tiankan and shouted, Izah Mu immediately dropped the farm tools and ran over.

Asisters looked at this maverick Dukya and couldn't help but laugh: "I said Izam, what are you doing so **** farm work, and you still have your own wife?!"

"The first city-state military training will be conducted in two days. I heard that this training is very strict, and after the training, the consul will teach everyone to play an interesting game! I have to finish the farm work quickly , So I can devote all my energy to training." Izam said as he wiped off his sweat with a short lining.

Asisters said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "That's right, you look like you are doing farm work, more like Greeks than us Greeks!"

Izam chuckled, taking Asistes' words as compliments: "It's easy to work, but it's more troublesome to fetch water. It's a waste of me, a slave who specializes in fetching water!" he complained.

"I heard Master Daves asked Alexis to call a carpenter to discuss what kind of "waterwheel" to build. After it is built, you can place it by the river so that the water from the Sinne River can flow directly to a terrain like yours. In a relatively high field." Asistes whispered slightly coquettishly.

"Oh, there is such a magical thing! What does that ‘waterwheel’ look like?!" Izam asked curiously.

"Master Daves said that it is roughly like a wheel. You can ask Master Daves about the details." Asistes shrugged, saying that he was not very clear.

"How dare I ask Lord Archon!" Izam said in awe. When he first served as a mercenary guide, Daves was often seen. At that time, he was so young that he could become a mercenary. The leader is more curious, but as the mercenary led by Daves has won victory again and again, the weight in his heart has become heavier and heavier, and the army has always been circulating about "he is a goddess." Some rumors even say that "Daves is the blood of Hades left on earth." This made the more ignorant and god-worshiping Dukya Izam look at the young leader in awe. In Byzantium, when Daves called for mercenaries to go with him to Great Greece, even if he was thousands of miles away from his hometown, Izam did not hesitate to follow, because he firmly believed that following the "Son of God" would never suffer. .

"Now you have a chance, Master Daves wants to see you." Assistus laughed.

"Really?!" Izam asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true! Don't I dare to use Master Davers's name to joke with you!" As soon as Asistes finished his voice, Izam cheered, his face was not wiped, and he didn't shoot any dust. , Yelled to his wife a few times in Lucanian, and then ran towards the city of Amendorara.

…………………………

"Izam, let's meet again! I heard that the Senate also divided a house and a field for you, and married a wife. How's your life? Are you still used to it? Did you cry because you missed your hometown? ……"

As soon as we met, Daves greeted Izam with concern, which made him relax. He excitedly told Daves of his experience during this period of time. Daves listened carefully. Finally, he said: "Look, the Greeks, Dukyas, and Lucanians can live together very well, like a big family, right?!"

"Yes, Lord Archon!" Izam boldly said, "As far as I know, many teammates who have married Lucanian women say they have found a good wife, even though they still They don’t speak Greek very well, and they don’t know how to weave, make bread, or direct slaves to work... But they are studying hard, and they can take the initiative to help their husbands with heavy tasks, and they express their feelings in a very warm way at night. I dare to try various things with my husband..."

Izam said later, although it was a bit vulgar, Daves laughed loudly: "Yes, our Greek women are too traditional and conservative. Both parties should learn from each other and communicate!"

Izam saw Davers being so easy-going, and he was more courageous, and said: "It's just...but these Lucanian women miss their relatives very much, and hope that their relatives can be free soon!" /

Davers's happy expression has not changed. In fact, he is very happy to see such a situation: "Don't worry, the city state did not abuse their relatives, and they took good care of them, as long as they can abide by the agreement. They will be free after the deadline we set, and as long as they behave well, this deadline will be shortened. You can go back and tell your wife that she will tell other Lucanian women, and the city-state will arrange them after a while Meet their loved ones!"

"I will, Lord Archon." Izam nodded.

"I called you today to ask if you are willing to complete a task?" Daves finally stepped into the subject. He stared at Izam and said in a deep voice: "We need to understand the Lucania region. , And now we don’t know anything about what happened there. I need someone to sneak in there to find out the news. Assistus recommended you to me."

"I'm willing to go!" Izam answered without hesitation.

Davos did not expect that he promised so quickly, and reminded him: "This is a very dangerous task, even life-threatening, you don't think about it anymore?"

"I'm sure!" Although Izam yearns for the prosperity of the outside world, the strict regulations in the army make him feel a little uncomfortable. He likes the feeling of running freely in the mountains and forests, quietly approaching his prey. Exciting, and now there is a good opportunity in front of him: "However, Lord Archon, please give me some time to prepare."

"Don’t worry, you can prepare carefully. As long as you successfully return from Lucania, I will set up a mountain reconnaissance team, and you will be the captain. In addition, after you leave, I will also let Kerry Stoya pays attention to the situation in your home, and solves the difficulties in your home at any time!"

Daves’ commitment and care made Izam both grateful and excited. He said loudly, “My lord Archon, don’t worry! I will successfully detect the news of Lucania and come back smoothly! Investigation Please keep me the position of the team leader!"

"Okay!" Daves likes self-confident subordinates. The establishment of a reconnaissance team is his consideration in the past few days. After all, there are many mountains in the Apennine Peninsula, which makes the reconnaissance cavalry subject to many restrictions. The observing mountain reconnaissance team will give even more help to the Amendorara army.

……………………

Bagul is leading his people to build warehouses and hotels for Amendorara. They are divided into several groups: one group is responsible for cutting trees, one group is responsible for grinding stones, and the other group is responsible for tamping the foundation.

A dozen artisans in the city-state, some are instructing Lucaria slaves to lay foundations, and some are making surveys.

Alexis and Heraclyde are on the construction site while monitoring the progress of the project while looking at the drawings.

Hera Clyde, the apprentice of the famous engineering master Hippodamus in all of Greece, used to follow the teacher to participate in the design and construction of the city of Turiy when he was young. His biggest regret was that he could not stay in Turi at that time. Yi, then he will be the first citizen of Tury. But he returned to Athens with his teacher again. After that, the political opponents of Pericles accused Pericles’ mistress Aspasia of accepting bribes during the construction of the Parthenon. Hippodamus was involved inexplicably and his teacher was implicated. In custody, he was also expelled from Athens, and he returned to his hometown frustrated. As a result, the Peloponnesian War broke out, his hometown was plunged into chaos, and life began to be difficult...

Twenty years later, with his wife and belt, he fled from his hometown already occupied by Sparta, and came to the relatively war-torn mainland of Greece, and came to the relatively peaceful Great Greece, where he used to contribute to Turriy. . But at this time Turiyi was no longer the Turiyi who needed a large number of immigrants and talents when the city was just built. The city hall refused to accept him as a city-state citizen. The penniless Heraclyde had to get down at the port. It is more than twenty years. In the past twenty years, he took his children to build houses and repair the city walls for others... for a living, he gradually gained some fame and saved some money, but he was still a freedman under the fence, living in In the crowded and humid shack, there is no land and no status. At this time, he is old and his wife passed away due to illness a few years ago. He no longer has much demand for life. The only regret is that his son Heraclyde is still young and has completely inherited his skills. There should be a brighter future...

While he was worrying about the future of his child day and night, one day, a stranger walked into the simple wooden house he shared with others, because in the past few days, he still clearly remembered the conversation at that time.

"Who is Heraclyde?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"I heard that you used to be an apprentice of Hippodamus and repaired the city of Turiyi?"

"Yes, this is a fact, I never lie."

"Then you are willing to accept the employment of Amendorara, responsible for supervising the construction of some projects, and the salary is fifty drachmas a month."

"What project is it?"

"I don’t know this very well. When you go, Alexis, the construction manager of Amendorara, will tell you. At the same time, he also asked me to tell you, "If you do well, there is indeed a building. Talent, he will recommend to the consul Daves, let you become a citizen of Amendola."

Immediately, he heard the envy of the people behind him.

Note: Hippodamus, a native of Miletus, a friend of Pericles, the most famous architectural planner in ancient Greece, the Athens trade center-the port of Piraeus is his handwriting.
