"Maximus!...Maximus!..." a shout came from behind him.
Maximus looked back blankly, but Gorgion was the one calling him.
Maximus was surprised. Although he had been in and out of street taverns frequently for more than ten days, he knew this well-informed Gorjian, but he didn’t think he knew enough to be able to chase him out alone. Be concerned about yourself.
With vigilance, Maximus asked indifferently: "Is something wrong?"
Gorgion walked up to him and said solemnly: "I want to talk to you about your job search."
Masimus is not one of those refugees who are penniless in his hometown and traveled across the oceans to seek a better life in Dionia. He was once a nobleman in Rome. He not only has many years of government experience, but also more He participated in the war this time. If it weren’t for Rome’s conquest, it would take him steadily to enter the Roman Senate, and his political experience was fairly rich. He always felt that every time he saw Gorgion enter the tavern, This person intentionally or unintentionally led the diners to argue and spread certain news... This kind of practice reminded him of some tricks of the Roman elders to fool the people, so he thought that Gorgon was not easy, and he did not usually follow He has too much contact.
At this time, Gorgion's active contact aroused his vigilance, and he immediately refused: "I'm sorry, I have to go home quickly now, there is no time."
Gorguian raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed a hint of unpleasantness, and then he returned to calm, calmly said: "Five days ago, you suffered on the way to the Dermo Administrative Office in the West Outer City. When a Roman was attacked, if the patrol team hadn’t arrived in time and arrested the gangster, you would still be lying in the hospital for treatment."
For fear of the family’s worry, Maximus didn’t say anything to anyone, but he was told by Gorgion. He immediately changed his face: "How did you know?"
Gorgian sneered coldly: "Do you think the patrol team happened to be there? You probably don’t know it yet. Yesterday your youngest son was playing by the pool in the middle of your rented building, if not Some people stop it, I'm afraid it has been taken away by a Roman...Now do you have time to talk to me?"
Masimus’s face changed drastically. He didn’t expect that the Romans who hated his “rebellion” had targeted his family members. He almost wanted to rush to his family immediately, but he was abruptly pressed Stopped this impulse, looked directly at the person in front of you, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you anyway?"
Gorgian constricted his face with a sarcasm smile, his temperament suddenly changed, and he solemnly said: "Re-introduction, my name is Gorgion, in order to be in Dionia The kingdom’s intelligence department works!"
The intelligence department of the Kingdom of Dionia? ... Hearing this term, Maximus instinctively produced a kind of fear, which was the consequence of being interrogated by them in the slave camp overnight. He subconsciously stepped back and whispered: "You... think What are you talking about?"
Gorgian glanced at his back foot, as if he could see through his mind, looked at him sharply, and said softly: "You should be very clear that your report has already attracted some Romans. The resentment towards you, you and your family have become the targets of their revenge. The reason why they are safe until now is because of the secret protection of our intelligence department, but this protection is not indefinite!"
Maximus stared at him, but his eyes showed a little weakness. He could hear the threat in Gorgion’s words, but Gorgion’s words also said what he was most worried about. .
Gorguian nonchalantly shifted to another topic: "Master Tratus, the director of the Turiy region of the intelligence agency, once wanted you to join us, but you refused. You just got free at the time. I must think there is a better way to go, but now?
Maybe you have the patience to work hard for more than 10 years in the kingdom to obtain a full citizenship? Or you can settle in the southern region of Iberia, but the place is not very stable. When the indigenous people strike, can you escape safely with your wife and children? Or is it that you finally decided to leave the kingdom and live in other strange places? ……"
Every word of Gorgion impacted Massims’ psychological defenses, causing his eyes to flicker, before he squeezed out a sentence: "...what are you trying to say?"
"Join us!" Gorgion said not loudly, but loudly.
In the past, there was no intelligence agency in Rome, but many aristocrats had a group of diners who were responsible for inquiring about privacy, inciting the people, robbing the people’s land by insidious methods... etc. They were doing some dirty things, so Ma Sims believes that the intelligence department of the Kingdom of Dionia is also doing this kind of humble business. Of course he dismissed the noble background, but now he seems to be in a desperate situation.
Masimus' face was uncertain, hesitated and struggled for a while, and tentatively said: "...what are the benefits of joining you? Can I become a full citizen as soon as possible?"
Gorguion said sternly: "Even if our intelligence service directly serves His Majesty Daves, it is impossible to directly become an official citizen under the restriction of the "Dionia Law", but We have more opportunities for meritorious deeds, which can make you a full-fledged citizen faster——"
"I remember you don't seem to be an official citizen yet." Massimos said slightly mockingly.
Gorgian smiled slightly: "Actually, I am already, because of the needs of official business, I deliberately made the diners in the pub think so."
"So, you are from Epirus and came to Dionia 5 years ago... These information is also false?"
"These are true, but not long after I came to Dionia, I joined the intelligence service and was ordered to perform missions at the Brindisi naval base in Puchetti. During the invasion of the former Apria region of the Lobonnes peninsula, the fugitives won their trust and acted as guides, but in fact they secretly told the Ninth Corps every time they marched, which eventually led to their destruction. For this reason, I He made great achievements and became an official citizen two years later, and he was transferred back to Turiyi to take up the post..."
Gorgeon said with great pride: “Don’t look at our intelligence department, it seems insignificant, it’s actually very important. Once something important happens, let alone the city chief, even the wartime governor Commanders have to take the initiative to ask the intelligence directors in our various regions for help. All their military exploits and political achievements have our credit. As His Majesty Davers said, we are the heroes of the kingdom hidden in the dark. Guarding the security of the kingdom with conscientious work!..."
Seeing that Maximus was in deep thought, Gorgion continued to say, "Not to mention that you joined the intelligence service. Although you are not a citizen, you have become one of us, and your family will get it. We do our best to protect. Your life will also be greatly improved, because you may perform tasks in another capacity, and you can receive double pay..."
Maximus listened, so it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while. He hesitated and said, "Let me go back and think about it..."
Gorguian saw that he was a little moved, and then he said: "You'd better make a decision as soon as possible, because the arrest of the suspect for the conspiracy to assassinate His Majesty King Davers is almost over. We will tell you The protection of the home is about to end."
When Maximus heard this, he became anxious and blurted out: "I...I...I decided to join you."
Gorgian smiled triumphantly: "This is a wise choice! Tomorrow morning, report to the white courtyard next to the West Outer City Inspection Station!"

Also on this evening, the residence of Lucias, one of the five rotating chairpersons of the Senate and the newly retired Chief Executive of Turíy, welcomed a distinguished guest-Chief Executive Milon of Katane ( Milon is the chief executive of Katane after Cypros was transferred to Turri. He has just expired and returned to report on his duties).
Lycias and Milon were a pair of political enemies when they were in Crotone. They fought fiercely for their own interests. Later, Lucias won and Milon was expelled from Croto by the citizens’ assembly. Inside, he hated Lycias very much at that time. It was not until Dionysius led the army of Syracuse to invade Great Greece that Miron was recalled to Crotone.
For the survival of the city-state, the two temporarily relieved their previous suspicions and worked together until Crotone was merged into the Kingdom of Dionia. The two had no conflicts of interest. Instead, they were both born in Crotone. The veterans of Dionian need to support each other even more in the unfamiliar Dionian political arena, so the hostile relationship between the two finally improved. After more than 10 years of exchanges, the two have different personalities and were once enemies. The Rotones eventually became friends.
"Milon, you came tonight. Aren't you worried about debriefing tomorrow?" Lycias asked with a smile.
"What is there to worry about about the work report? Katane has developed more prosperously in recent years. The veterans will not know it. I have a lot of credit for this!" Miron was quite confident and said straightforwardly. : "Okay, don't pretend, you know why I came to see you tonight! District chief! I want to be the chief executive of Dongxili region and need your support!"
"The chief executive of the East West Siri region..." Lycias was not surprised. He touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "It really does not belong to the chief executives of the districts that His Majesty needs to personally designate (Dai Firth proposed in today’s Senate meeting, “Because the southern regions of Iberia, the Roman regions, and the western regions of Sicily are located on the border of the kingdom, the situation is more complicated. For the security and stability of the kingdom, he must personally determine the regional administration. In addition to the candidates for the chief executive, all the candidates for the chief executives of other regions are freely selected by the elders, and he does not do any interference. In fact, Daves used the rights and interests of the election of the chief executive in exchange for the passage of the other three resolutions. Everything is as he imagined), and since you became the chief executive of Naxos, you have many years of experience as the chief executive, and your political achievements are also good, especially in the last war. The situation in eastern Sicily is very familiar. It stands to reason that if you want to be elected as the chief executive of the eastern and western regions, there should be no big problem..."
