Cunogolata waved the slave girl out, then looked at Lycias, and said solemnly: "The Senate is the most important institution in the kingdom and plays an important role in balancing the power of the king. If the senator of the Senate It was...why...who else would dare to oppose your majesty’s proposal...cough cough cough..."

"Stop talking, take a good rest, I understand, I will try my best!" Lycias promised.

………………………………………

The Palace of Dionia is located at the confluence of the Krati and Koseni rivers, below the hill of Kings, and above the hill is the residence of King Davos.

The palace is located in the southwest of the Senate, and the distance between the two is less than 300 meters. Although it is not as grand as the Grand Chamber of the Senate, it has its own unique style.

It sits west to east, backs on the hills, and lies on the side of the river. It is a two-story, boxy building. The wall is made of large regular blocks of ashlar, and the walls are quite flat. There are hardly any big gaps in sight, because "Davers Cement" is poured to make it into one body, and at the same time, the inner side of the ashlar is reinforced with an "H" type fixture to make the boulders stronger.

There are dozens of simple and practical Doria-style stone pillars supported by the outer eaves around the wall, and a section of eaves extending outward from the center of the east-facing wall is owned by eight. Ionian stone pillar support with foundation and spiral stigma. A triangular roof was added to the eaves, and a gold sculptured disk was inlaid in the center. On it was the symbol of the Kingdom of Dionian—the double-stranded prongs with long hair entwined against the crown of pomegranate branches.

The foundation of the entire palace is more than one meter high, so there are stone steps in front of the Ionian Pillar, which has 20 levels. In front of the stone steps, there is a circular platform made of white marble similar to a small altar. A long flagpole stands high in the center. Hair, double-stranded fork, diamond and crown".

Two heavily armed court guards stood upright under the flagpole. Every morning, there will be 50 court guards lined up in an orderly square, stepping on a neat pace, marching from the palace to under the flag stand, and then raising the national flag in an elegant posture. At dusk, they are in the same queue and posture. Lower the flag. This unique and solemn ceremony attracted many people from the Kingdom of Dionian and even Gentiles to stop and watch every day.

The palace was not built when I came to Turei last time. This time Gherny was summoned by the king and came here to stand in front of this palace that best reflects the architectural skills of the Kingdom of Dionian. The majestic and heavy wall made of stone made him marvel at the divine craftsmanship of the Dionians, and the solemn and solemn appearance of a temple made him unconfidently restrained and held his breath. Stepping on the white steps, he looked up and could see the National Emblem of the Kingdom of Dionia, hung above the door lintel, emitting a dazzling golden light. An invisible pressure made him feel his insignificance and awe.

After walking the steps, behind the eight Ionian pillars, a team of court guards guarded the gate of the palace. They carefully checked the warrants of the messengers who brought him before allowing them to enter.

The ground in the palace is closely arranged and inlaid with polished pebbles. It uses black as the background color and white as the main embellishment, supplemented by other colors, and is decorated into exquisite geometric patterns, such as flowers, sea waves, Squid... This made Gailny feel strange, if he didn't want to meet Daves quickly, he would like to hang around for a while.

"Your Majesty originally planned to paint murals on the walls and put sculptures on both sides of the aisle, but because we did not find a good painter and sculptor, we did not implement it for the time being." The soldier saw his thoughts and was proud Said.

Gerney hurriedly retracted his gaze and nodded pretendingly.

When he came to the king’s office on the second floor of the palace, after the messenger went in to report, he saw the master of the Kingdom of Dionia greeted him with strides, and smiled and said loudly: "Guy Erni, the warrior of the Samonaites, the leader of Abeni Rum, welcome you to Turri again!"

"Your Majesty King Daves!" Gailney hurriedly bowed and saluted respectfully.

"Please come in! Come in!" Daves greeted him enthusiastically into the office, and told the messenger: "Go and inform the kitchen, prepare some fruits and syrup, and bring them right away!"

Daves asked Gellney to sit down on a wooden chair near the large desk, and instead of sitting behind the desk, he sat on another wooden chair on the opposite side. , In order to show his respect for the weak Abeni Rum.

This little detail touched Gailny a little. He turned his head unnaturally and looked behind the desk. On both sides of the desk, there were two writers burying their heads in copying documents. There was a pair of black and white on the wall. It seems that the mosaic fresco of the map of Italy caught his attention.

"I remember the last time I saw you was seven years ago." Daves said.

Gerney looked at Daves hurriedly and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"At that time, the palace hadn't been built yet!" Daves smiled and sighed as if chatting with a friend: "This time flies so fast, seven years have passed! I haven't I thought that you would send a team to the competition this year, so when I received a letter from Kesimah, I was really happy! What's more, your Aberum team performed very well in this game. My surprise also exceeded the expectations of the people. It is estimated that many fans have remembered Abeni Rum from then on..."

Gerney said modestly: "Your Majesty, it was just luck. In the second game against Vig, we simply lost the game."

I can see that Gailny still has some regrets in his heart. Davers smiled: "Yes, your performance has caused many fans to make mistakes in judgment. They also protested to the city hall, saying that you and Pixis were playing counterfeit matches. ."

Delney smiled bitterly, just trying to explain.

Daves said again: "I watched these two games. Actually...Picosis lost to you because they underestimated the enemy and were unfamiliar with your play. Rugby learned from me. …Hades enlightened me, and then taught it to the public. It has been more than ten years. Due to frequent matches and training, the sport of rugby has developed rapidly. As far as I know, many strong teams now only use offensive tactics. There are dozens of types, and the tasks of the players on the field are getting more and more detailed. The game is no longer just a contest of strength and speed, but more on the execution of wisdom and tactics. When you play against Vig, they use complex The tactics obviously inhibited the display of your characteristics, so you will lose quickly..."

Davers seriously analyzed the reasons for his failure, and finally said: “It’s not enough to practice **** your own. You have to play more games and learn from other teams. I suggest... Abbe The Rum team should participate in the Lucania region every year, and of course Turri will continue to invite you to participate in the finals!"

"Uh..." Gailney hesitated.

"Why? Difficulties?" Davers asked.

Gerney said hurriedly: "Thank your Majesty the King for your concern! After I go back, I will discuss this proposal with my people."

"If there is any difficulty in participating in the competition, tell Kesimah, he will try his best to help you solve it." Davers said seriously.

Gerney should be repeated.

The two chatted for a while about rugby, football, and even the Hercules match established for the sacrifice of Hercules.

Seeing Davers's high spirits, Delney said: "Your Majesty, I'm here to Turie this time. In addition to watching the performance of my team, there is one more thing I want to tell you--"

"Oh, what's the matter?" Daves smiled on his face.

"At the beginning, the Kingdom of Dionian signed a covenant with our Shillpini tribe. The two sides formed an alliance. Except for "non-aggression, one side encounters an enemy, the other must provide assistance...", the covenant It also requires'not to restrict the free movement of the people of both sides, strengthen trade, exchange beliefs, and serve as hired workers...'

But in fact, only Abenirum, led by Beneventum, Aequum, Tuticum, and Aeclanum, can do all this. ), Aquilonia... and other towns and tribes that obey on the surface, but secretly forbid the tribesmen from contacting your Dionians, otherwise they will be severely punished by the priests of the tribe. Nine years have passed since the signing of the covenant. Your Majesty, you have to admit that, apart from the free movement of the Dionyans in the territory of Abeni Rum, it is basically difficult to set foot in other areas of Samona.

But our Abenirum people have been dissatisfied with the great leader Lesguk and other leaders for these kind actions of Dionia. I believe you, Your Majesty, also know about this. And as the deadline for the covenant approached (At first, although Dionia won the war, the three tribes of Samona were unwilling to become Dionia’s vassals, and their attitude was relatively tough, and finally reached In order to compromise, the alliance agreement has a ten-year period, and the contract can be renewed after expiration), and Leskuk and other tribes have suppressed Abenirum even more severely. They disregarded the traditions of the Samoneites and forcibly divided our grazing areas. Once people and livestock crossed the line, they would be detained by them! ……"

Gerney squeezed his fists, and said with an emotional hatred: "Les Guk also contacted other tribal chiefs and high priests, and obtained the award of the **** Savoni held in Beneventum in the early spring of next year. The power of sacrificial celebrations. According to tradition, all the leaders of Samona will go to Beneventum to participate in the celebrations. Someone secretly told that Lescuk wanted to perform the sacrifice of the entire Samoneite tribe. I allow the priests of Hades to preach in the territory', let the high priests of Samona condemn me for the crime of blasphemy, and will impose divine punishment on me (that is, cut off the limbs and still worship the top of the mountain, Let the wild wolf bite to death)... If I don’t participate, I will be sentenced to two major crimes of “contempt of tradition and blasphemy”. Not only will I be executed, but also the people who support me in Abeni Rum. Severe punishment!

His Majesty, I, Gailny, acted in accordance with the covenant and kept friendly with you Dionia, but I did not expect to be hated and framed by my fellow tribesmen. I hope to get your support from your Majesty, for me! For Abeni Rum! Win response to some fair treatment! "
