Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1061

[Chapter 10 Alexson]

Eunice and Ivia came to the Hill of the Gods this time because Cristoia had a cold and her condition was serious. Although they had received active treatment, it had been five or six days and she had not fully recovered. Eunice hopes that her mother’s illness will be cured soon, so she decides to ask Hades for blessing.

The main temple of Hades is being rebuilt. In order not to be disturbed, the priests have already told the believers to try their best to worship in other Hades temples in the outer city of Turi. However, in the past, when her parents fell ill, Eunice came here The main temple prayed, and she was quite experienced, so she stubbornly chose to come to Tianshen Hill.

A group of people went up the mountain and immediately alerted the Priest of Wands, Precinus.

Rebuilding the main temple of Hades is the top priority of the kingdom, especially for the priests of Hades. Plessinas stayed on the construction site almost every day, supervising the construction process and helping to coordinate some The difficulties encountered have even pushed back many Senate meetings for this reason.

After understanding the intention of the two princesses, Plessinas dared to neglect, and immediately arranged for the priests to take care of the temporary temple for them to worship and pray.

After Eunice and Ivia devoutly prayed for their mother, Eunice’s interest did not diminish, and she wanted to visit the entire construction site.

Plessinas murmured a little about this request, King Davos only came and gave a speech when the project started, and then visited the site in the next few months, so he was not sure that Eunice made this Whether the request came from Davos’s behest.

What’s more, as far as he knew, Eunice was deeply favored by Davos, so he didn’t dare to neglect, he personally accompanied the two princesses, showed them around, and explained the whole project to them in detail.

Plessinas has served as a Hades priest for more than 20 years. Not only is he eloquent, but also has a very rich theological knowledge about Hades (mostly from the compilation of Hades priests), so the boring temple building The process was lively and interesting, which made the princess and the guards listen with great interest.

In the mural painting area, Ivia stopped for a long time, watching carefully that the painters used various mineral powders to prepare paints, and then drew sketches of Elysee Paradise and Hell on the wooden boards.

Even under the instigation of Eunice, Ivia shyly picked up the brush and tried to draw some patterns, which was praised by Plessinas and the painters.

The construction site is full of men, and two beautiful girls suddenly appeared, and their status is so noble. Of course, it caused waves among the craftsmen and laborers, but under the strict supervision of the foreman and the imposing force of the palace guards. Underneath, they only dared to peep quietly, but they became more energetic.

For Eunice and Ivia, even though most of the men in sight were shirtless men, they didn’t feel any discomfort. They had seen them a lot in various competitions in Turii since they were young. Get used to it.

The group was chatting and laughing, and they turned around the construction site. Eunice suddenly stopped and asked, “Who is that person?”

There was a person on the steeper side of the cliff on the west side of Tianshen Mountain. He stood motionless. , like a statue.

Compared with the hot construction site where everyone worked hard, this person’s behavior was too conspicuous, and even Eunice showed a dissatisfied look.

Plessinas hurriedly explained: “His name is Alexson, he is from Tarantum, not the craftsmen and laborers involved in building the temple.”

“Tarantum?” Eunice was a little puzzled, still questioning Said

: “The temple is being built here, isn’t it not allowed for ordinary people to enter?”

Plessinas explained patiently: “His Royal Highness, he is a candidate to sign up for the design of the statue on the top of the mountain,

and he passed the The first test, but he made a request, saying that he had never been to the hill of the gods, and hoped to be able to go to the mountain to investigate and find inspiration in order to design a perfect mountain top statue… At first we did not agree, but he actually trespassed in the palace, wanting to Petitioned to His Majesty and was arrested by the guards as a gangster. After hearing that, His Majesty agreed to his request, so we had to allow him to enter. He has been here for two days, but he has not wandered around. Most of the time it was quiet there.”

The biggest difference in rebuilding the main temple of Hades this time is that a huge statue of Hades needs to be erected on the hill and in front of the temple. Even people, tourists, and pedestrians in the entire plain of Obari, as well as in the nearby mountains, ports, and coasts, can see its light shining, thus demonstrating the supreme power of the patron saint of the Kingdom of Dionia.

King Davos and the Senate required that the statue should not only exceed the Colossus of Athena in front of the Parthenon in size, but also be otherworldly and outstanding in the design of the artistic image of the statue. Under the proposal, the Temple of Hades and the Kingdom Sculpture Union jointly held an unprecedented selection competition. All sculptors and painters in the kingdom could design the colossus on the top of the mountain, so that the best and most perfect works could be selected.

However, candidates must first pass two rounds of primary selection assessment. The judges are all famous architects and painters of the Kingdom of Dionia, so 90% of the candidates were eliminated, avoiding the need to make up for themselves. This person can pass the preliminary examination. Election, obviously capable.

After listening to Plessinas’ introduction, Eunice became interested, walked straight over, and came to the man, only to realize that he was a young man in his early 20s. Eyes, let the mountain wind blow loose clothes, with an intoxicated look on his face.

“What are you doing?” Eunice asked curiously.

The young man still stood motionless as if he hadn’t heard her speak.

Eunice was a little angry and said loudly: “Hey, I’m asking you something!”

The young man named Alexson slowly turned his head and said dissatisfiedly: “I’m sorry, please don’t disturb my thinking. Also, please You walked away, you blocked the sun for me.”

Eunice has been favored by her parents since she was a child, and no one has ever dared to speak to her in such a tone, she immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted sharply: “Hey, you Do you know who I am?”

Ariksson did not speak, but waved his hands impatiently, motioning her to leave.

Eunice was really angry: “I am the daughter of King Davos, and I order you to get out of the Hill of the Gods immediately, or I will let the guards drive you out!”

This time, Alexson looked directly at Eunice standing in front of him, but there was no fear on his face, but a stern expression that was neither humble nor arrogant: “It is the will of King Davos that I can stand here, I just want to know Does His Majesty’s order work? Or your words?”

“You!…” Eunice’s anger was suppressed by these words, and she didn’t know how to respond for a while.

“Sister, it’s time for us to go home!” Ivia’s timely shout gave Eunice a step down, she responded immediately, and then said bitterly: “Your name is Ariksson, I remember You, let’s see!”

Alexson ignored her threat at all, turned his head, and continued to quietly overlook the mountain.

Eunice stomped her foot hard and turned to leave.

After sending Eunice and her party away, some of the men asked anxiously: “Priest Plessinas, that Tarantum humiliated our princess so much, do you want it?”

Pleicinas shook his head and said, “That’s not enough.

It’s a farce between young people, don’t worry about him. As the faithful believers of Hades, we should have a broad and merciful mind, otherwise how can we convince the people.”

“You are right, I am wrong.” The priest Immediately admit your mistake.

Plessinas rubbed his forehead and said, “I’ll go to rest for a while, and when Lord Heraclid arrives (the minister of the kingdom), come and tell me immediately that I will also inspect the progress of the whole project with him. ”

Yes.”

Davers ended today’s political affairs early, left the palace in a hurry, rushed back to the mansion on the mountain, and then came to Kerry In Stoya’s bedroom, she asked with concern, “How is it? Are you feeling better today?”

Cristoia, who was lying on the bed, hadn’t spoken yet. She has not been to the Temple of Hera in order to take care of her these days. Agnes said on the side: “Helps came again just now, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com gave my sister a diagnosis and treatment, saying that her physical condition is much better than before, it should be within two or three days. It will heal after that.”

“That’s great!” Davos sat on the edge of the bed, stroked Cristoia’s hand, and said seriously, “The weather is good during this time, I suggest you, let the maids support you until Going around in the garden and basking in the sun will get better faster.”

Cristoia cast a glance at him, yanked her hand back, then turned around and lamented, “Don’t mind me, I am Well, let Persephone take me to the Elysee!”

“Sister, don’t talk nonsense–” Agnes quickly persuaded her, Davos waved his hand secretly, signaling her not to worry, and then said, “Claude Tor is busy with politics now, and you’re not seriously ill, so I didn’t call him back—”

“Oh, I can’t do it…” Cristoia immediately lamented again.

“However, he agreed to send Chris back.” Davers’ next words stopped Cristoia’s lamentation abruptly, and she turned around suddenly: “Really?!”

Davers smiled narrowly: ” Are you ill now?”

Cristoia hit him and asked anxiously, “Is it true?!”

“The king has no jokes.” Davos said with a smile: “It is estimated that our good grandson is acquired the day after tomorrow. I’ll be

home.”

“That’s great!” Agnes had a rare look of excitement: “I wonder how tall Chris is now?! The last time he left, he was less than a year old, even walking. No, they were taken to Rome…”
