"Storo, I just baked some bread with freshly ground flour and it's still hot! It's very fragrant! You can bring a few pieces back and try it!"

"Storo, have all Aventine's houses been demolished? I heard that the city hall will build larger and better-looking houses. Is it true?"

"Storo, I saw someone from the city hall come to your house in the afternoon, maybe something is wrong."

……

A warm and caring word warmed Storo. When he was claustrophobic by the Dionians, these neighbors still provided all kinds of help to his family as much as possible, which is why he did this. Nian is willing to provide them with legal help at a low price or even free of charge.

He responded with a smile, and speeded up the pace of going home again.

"Storo, you are finally back!" As soon as he entered the house, his wife Konya rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Isn't this good for me, what happened?" Stolo asked softly, stroking his wife's back.

"A visitor from the city hall in the afternoon emphasized that you must go to the city hall after you go home to meet with the chief executive of Yassi...Stace. Stolo, this...nothing will happen. Isn't it?!" Konya looked at him worriedly.

"We have all experienced the worst things, and we all survived smoothly, what else can be bad!" This time of experience made the originally innocent and lovely wife of the nobleman almost turned into a frightened bird. Stolo squeezed her nose, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It is likely that the Dionian sees me doing well and is ready to give me more important tasks."

"Really? That's great!" When Konya heard this, she seemed to take it seriously, and hurriedly said: "Storo, you will go to the city hall to see the chief executive in a moment. You must give it to him. Tell me, can you... can you let my mother and sister go home?!"

Storo was taken aback: Since the family members of the Romans who had fled to Capitoline Mountain were forced down the mountain, except for a small number of civilian family members who were verified by the city hall and released home, most of the other noble family members, Some were imprisoned in the city, and some were escorted to Sartnikum to persuade the defenders to surrender. Stolo’s mother-in-law was the wife of the famous Roman veteran Ambustus, and the husband of Konya’s sister was still leading the army. The stubborn Roman general Servius of Sartnikum, so the city hall will not release them easily.

Storo asked about this a few days ago, but facing his wife’s expectant gaze, he nodded and said: "Okay, I will go to the Chief Executive to make a request."

Conya smiled like a flower and went to serve the dinner in person, serving Storo very thoughtfully.

……………………………………

During this time, even at dusk, Rome City Hall is still very busy. The allocation and delivery of food and materials for the two armies, land allocation and housing arrangements for newly relocated Dionian citizens, supervision of the autumn harvest and subsequent taxation, and the upcoming Hades celebration and The emergency organization and preparation of the rugby game...A series of complicated and urgent administrative affairs are placed in front of Asistes and his subordinates, urging them to complete day and night. So when Stolo walked into the city hall and saw all the officials working hard and walking like flying, he couldn't help but sigh.

When Stolo was taken into Asistes’ office, Asistes had just sent off the officials from the inspection department. He was also almost 50 years old. After working at the desk for a long time, he couldn’t help feeling a backache. Pain, he stood up, stretched out in the room, pacing back and forth, saw Stolo come in, motioned him to sit down, and he continued to stand and talk: "Listen to Maiinas, you have done a lot these days. Excellent, especially in helping the engineering team resolve several major conflicts in time."

"They didn't have any contradiction in the first place, just because there was a communication problem." Storo said cautiously.

"Different customs, differences in ideological concepts, coupled with language barriers, inability to communicate normally, resulting in conflicts between old and new citizens...This is now the most troublesome issue in maintaining order in Rome. This is not a trivial matter!" Assistus rubbed his forehead and said solemnly: "The inspector ran here just now and complained to me that there are too few Roman citizens who have joined their inspection office and can speak Greek, and Less literate always results in them being unable to stop and persuade the two parties in the conflict well when performing their tasks, and sometimes it is easy to arouse greater conflicts. If this goes on, it will not be conducive to the stability of Rome, so I decided to let You go to the inspection office.

As far as I know, you used to be proficient in Roman law and often helped the civilians to defend. So I want you to go to the inspection office, first follow the inspection team to deal with various disputes in the city, and gradually become familiar with our Dionian Law, what do you think about becoming an inspector in the future? "

Storo did not immediately agree. He thought for a while, with a hesitant expression on his face, and tentatively said: "I heard that Dionia also has the post of a civic officer, which can help the people fight for their rights and protect their rights. Interests, I want to... take up this position in the future."

"Guardian?!" The city of Yasisk was a little surprised, and he persuaded: "You may not have figured out that the guardian of Dionia is very different from the former Roman guardian. As far as I know, your Roman patrons are a great way for civilians to enter the top of the city. You can even participate in the senate. The Dionian patrons seem to be more powerful and can sue officials at all levels, including me. The chief executive, and even the elders, can also meet with the king to point out the flaws of a certain law... But once you become a Dionian guarantor, it means that you will not be able to take over other administrative positions in the future. The kingdom’s political arena is insulated. This is to ensure the independence of the guarantors and not be affected by administrative officials. Therefore, the guarantors of Dionian are basically composed of those who do not intend to develop in the political arena and want to do something for the people. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly citizens. Young citizens who want to make a difference hardly want to become civil servants."

Stolo really didn't know the details of the Dionian Guardian. He was a little stunned when he heard this.

Asistes looked at him and understood some of his psychology, so he continued: "In fact, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Dionia treats all races in the country as equals, and will not deliberately be biased. Of course, if you really want to do something for the Romans, serve as an inspector or a judge, make outstanding political achievements, and become a veteran of the kingdom in the future, you can truly protect the rights and interests of the Roman citizens of Dionia in the Senate!

As far as I know, you and Sextus are good friends. Now he has repeatedly made warfare and has served as the captain of the captain. It is likely that within a few years, he will be the captain of the Roman legion, not even Are you willing to become the veteran of Dionia at the age of 40? "

Storo's heart was shocked.

Assistes saw his face change suddenly, knowing that his words had an effect, he walked back to his desk and sat down again: "This matter is related to your future development in the kingdom. Go back and think about it. Two Just give me a reply within the day. I am looking for you this time, and there is one more important thing for you to do."

Speaking of this, Asistes looked directly at Stolo, and said in a deep voice: "I just received the battle report from your majesty, and the Sartnikum defenders have descended!"

Storo was taken aback and asked involuntarily, "Sartnikum's defenders surrendered?!"

"It was not only Sartnickum who surrendered, but Villitre also surrendered after only one day."

Asisters’ words gave Stolo a heavy blow, leaving him stunned on the spot: Although he didn’t agree to go to Sutnikum to persuade him to surrender, he knew his father was also against Card. Mulhouse knew something, and thought that even if they were in a disadvantaged position, they would definitely resist to the end, but unexpectedly surrendered! As soon as Satnikum fell, the resistance of the Romans disappeared, and there was no possibility of restoration in Rome!

Assistes saw Stolo sitting on a wooden chair with a fluctuating expression on his face, so he coughed softly, "Although the last time you climbed to Capitoline Mountain to persuade you to surrender, you were refused. But I hope you will go up again. I think the surrender of Camilos’ army will affect them on the mountain to a certain extent."

For a long while, Stolo replied feebly: "...I will try my best, but I have a few questions to ask."

"You said."

Stolo asked eagerly: "My father...is okay now?"

Asistus pondered for a while, and solemnly said: "I don't want to deceive you, but you must swear to the gods not to divulge what I said, I will tell you."

Storo looked at Asistes in surprise, and then vowed to Jupiter.

"Actually, the plague occurred in the city of Satnikum, and the Roman generals had to—"

Asistus hadn't finished speaking, Stolo exclaimed: "What?! The plague!" He then covered his mouth with his hand, but the hand trembled involuntarily.

Assistus immediately relieved him and said: "The plague is the most terrible disease in your Romans' eyes, but we have developed Dionian medicine and have quite in-depth research on the treatment of plagues. Your Majesty is summoning doctors. Treating sick soldiers, I believe that many people will be able to recover after half a month."

Stolo calmed down a bit, and asked eagerly: "Then my father...Is there—"

Asisters said calmly: "Your father has been infected and he is receiving treatment in a camp near the city of Sutnikum. I suggest you better not visit him now to avoid contracting the plague. In addition, Before the surrender of Sartnikum's defenders, Camilos had died of illness... Oh, and also, your brother-in-law, Servius, was also infected."
