Gerney was shocked, and said: "I am from Samona, from Abeni Rum, north of Potentia."

The Sicilian envoys around who were secretly watching them talked in mind the words "Samonet" and "Abenirum", quietly thinking about this one that had hardly appeared in Turei before. The significance of the presence of the indigenous Italians in the Hades celebration.

As the two were chatting, the people entered the arena one after another. The ring-shaped arena was soon filled, and the atmosphere inside the venue became noisy and lively.

And behind the rostrum, veterans began to appear one after another.

"That is the chief executive of Lucias and Turriy! I heard that he has served as the chief general of Crotone many times before..."

"This is Sir Cornelus. He is the most important senator in the Senate, and he is very friendly to the people! Look, he is greeting the surrounding audience!"

"Listen to the cheers of the audience so enthusiastically, you don't need to look at it, you know that this should be Lord Precinus, the priest of the scepter, is here!"

"Look at that cold face, that is Ombudsman Sesta, who frightens the veterans and officials, but the people of Dionia respect him!"

"Who is this? Fat like a pig."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense! Don't underestimate him, she is Merses, the finance minister whom King Daves relies on, and holds the money of the kingdom."

"Who is that again? It doesn't look like a Greek."

"He is indeed not a Greek, he is a Persian, Mariji, Minister of Commerce of the Kingdom of Dionian. Hear the cheers of the audience, I heard that Turri is so prosperous, he has a great Thanks to him, so the people of Turiyi are very grateful to him."

"Who is this again?"

The elder who came out of the passage did not wave to the audience or talk to the other elders, so he sat down, but the cheers of the people were not a lot, and his every move was revealed. The temperament made Gailny feel that this man must have led the army to fight.

Sure enough, Seacropps said: "That is the hero of the Yugoslavia War, the veteran of Hiros. He led the army to conquer Lockley and its allies, and he has just served as the Minister of Military Affairs of Dionia... …The veteran who appeared behind him, regardless of his ordinary appearance, each of us has benefited from him!"

"Oh, who is he?"

"He is the Minister of Construction, Heraclid Jr., and he is responsible for the construction of the avenues and stone bridges we walk in Dionia."

"And who are those two? They don't look like Greeks either."

"Wesba and Hermon, of course, are not Greeks, but Lukanians, but they are also distinguished senators in the Senate. Think about the Lukania region in Dionia The size of the kingdom’s territory can be understood...This one is not a Greek, but he is equally distinguished. He is the veteran of Sedorum from Bruti and the only one who has served as the Governor of Dionia. The veterans of. Behind him are Saru and Krelu...... They are all veterans from Bruti......"

Gerney listened to Sikrops' introduction and looked at the faces behind the rostrum that were different from those of the Greeks. Suddenly, he felt a little touched in his heart.

Sikrops, who introduced him to the veterans of Dionia at the opening ceremony, gradually became confused, because although the veterans behind the rostrum had already appeared a lot , But apart from King Daves, the few big figures who are most familiar to the messengers of their Sicilian city-states have yet to show up.

Antonius-the hero who conquered the east coast of Sicily, and served as the chief executive of Naxos for many years. Cycrops and the others have dealt with him most, while Lao Dixian and Lacey Perato Si... These veterans from Sicily used to treat the Sicilian envoys who were invited to Turei every year. However, they neither held a banquet this year nor have they appeared on the court so far.

According to Seacrops, Raodixian likes lively occasions the most and also likes to show off the most. What happened? Have to cause Sikrops to think deeply.

At this moment, "Oh!!!..." The whole arena was boiling like a violent wind.

"Wan Sheng, Your Majesty King Davers!!!"

"Your Majesty the King!!!"

……

There were cheers in the arena one after another.

The King of Dionian Daves wears a black Clementine Bolton and a crown of pomegranate branches made of gold. He smiles and waves to the surroundings. Beside him are Kristia and Agni. Silk two beautiful princesses.

Gerney suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at a young man following Davers, and asked anxiously: "Who is he?!"

"Hey, let go of your hand, this is disrespectful to King Daves! Don't arouse the anger of the audience!" Sikrops hurriedly pressed his hand, and then said: "You said It’s the eldest son of King Davos, Croto Kataks. Don’t look at him when he grows up. In fact, he is less than 18 years old and he is still a teenager."

"Are you sure he is the eldest son of King Daves?!" Gailny asked again in disbelief.

"I participate in the Hades celebration every year, and Prince Croto Kataks has appeared many times. How could he be mistaken!" Hearing his doubts, Sikrops was a little angry, in order to show that he was right According to the understanding of the royal family of Dionian, he said: "King Davos also has an adopted son named Adoris. It is said that he has already been with the army to conquer Dawn, and Cloto Cataxes is indeed Davos's birth. The eldest son. The beautiful girl beside him is the king’s adopted daughter Cynthia. I heard that she is 20 years old and has not yet married because there are so many proposers that King Daves doesn’t know how to choose. , That’s why it’s been here..."

Sikrops whispered these gossips to Gellney, showing off her well-informed meaning: "The little girl holding Cynthia’s arm is Eunice, the eldest daughter of King Daves. The little boy talking to her is the king’s second son, Apox, and the little boy looking around is the king’s third son Briantes. Oh! His youngest daughter is also here, and she is led by Princess Aegness. The little girl Ivy who is watching, this is the first time she has appeared in the opening ceremony of rugby! Your luck is really good, this is the first time that King Daves and his family have all appeared on the rugby field, no wonder Dio The people of Nigeria will be so excited!"

Gerney was unheard of what he said to the Tindaris, and stared at the podium blankly. He did not expect the gentle, lovely, helpful, and very helpful person two days ago. The grateful young Turye turned out to be the distinguished Prince Dionia. Could this be King Dafus's special regard for my Abenirum? ! Thinking of this, Gailny became excited, maybe this time the purpose of coming to Turri for help can be achieved.

In fact, he thinks too much, Croto Kataks just happened to be in the round on that day to meet the team from the north.

When he returned home, Kristonia was shocked when she learned that her son had been alone in long contact with the rumored and fierce Samonais.

After Daves knew about it, he praised his son for doing well, and said: As the bloodline of Pluto, the prince of Dionia should have such courage and belly! He also encouraged his son to continue to entertain the Samonais.

For this, Daves and his wife had a little quarrel.

But at this moment, the Daves family is enjoying themselves. After sitting down, Daves nodded to Lucias in front of the rostrum.

Turiy Chief Executive Lucias said: "Start."

The trumpeters on both sides of the rostrum immediately raised their long copper horns diagonally, and the high-pitched horns resounded through the arena.

The teams from the towns of Dionia have begun to enter the field.

I saw eight priests wearing white robes first coming in from the east entrance. They carried a wooden statue of Hades holding a football. Its image was similar to the bronze statue outside the arena, except The size is small, but its surface is covered with gold leaf, and under the sun, it shines with gold.

Following behind the eight solemn priests is the Turye team. Under the leadership of a guide holding a wooden sign engraved with "Turye", they have just stepped onto the track outside the field, on the sidelines. The audience cheered loudly. Since Turyi is the center of the Kingdom of Dionia and the venue for the finals, the audience who watched the opening ceremony is of course the largest number of people in Turyi, so every year the Turyi team is at the forefront.

Turiy’s rugby players waved to the audience, and the audience also cheered for them. Interaction on and off the court pushed the atmosphere in the arena to a climax.

But the strange team that came out next made the audience dumbfounded.

"Abellinum?!" The spectators sitting closest to the track opened their eyes wide, seeing the name of the town on the facilitator's wooden sign, still at a loss: What place is this?

It turns out that there is a rule for the entry order of the teams in the opening ceremony of the Kingdom of Dionian Rugby Finals, except that the first and last teams must be Turíy and another specific town team. Other teams, including the invited teams from the Kingdom of Dionia, enter the arena in alphabetical order of their town names. This demonstrates Dionia’s principle of fairness and impartiality regardless of relatives and estrangements. Contradictions and quarrels are reduced.

This team started with the letter "A" and naturally walked ahead, but except for a very small number of spectators from the north of Lucania who knew about it, everyone else knew nothing, but watched the game all the time. They still gave the strange team courtesy applause and cheers.

Until the team passed the VIP area, Gailney, who had been taciturn, suddenly stood up, pointed to the team walking on the track, and shouted excitedly: "Abeni Rum! This is from Samo. Chennai’s Abeni Rum team! They are the warriors in the mountains!" He also shouted the names of the players in Samona.
