At this time, the staff on the platform on the middle ridge also started to get busy. They scooped water from the pools in the platform with buckets, and then poured it on the horses passing by…

“Why do you want to break the water on the horses? ”

That’s because the temperature of the horse’s body will gradually increase during vigorous running. If the body temperature is too high for a long time and cannot be lowered, the horse will get sick and even die… So pour water on the horse to help it cool down. , can protect the horse from getting sick after the race.”

“Oh, so it is! Why is the animal in the middle indicating the number of laps the dolphin and not the other animals? I like elephants and hippos.”

“No, I prefer Yu Aunt Ness’s black cat.”

“That’s because this arena is a racing or horse racing competition, and the main object of the competition is horses, and the god Poseidon is the patron saint of horses, so who can tell me, Poseidon What is this animal messenger?”

“I know, I know, it’s a dolphin!”

“By the way, it’s a dolphin. The silver statue of a dolphin is used to mark the number of laps run by a racing car and a racing horse, in the hope of getting Poseidon. It is a good wish to protect the horses participating in the competition.”

“Oh, so it is! Uncle Apox, does the statue of Poseidon placed in the middle of the arena also hope to bless the horses?”

“Yes. , that’s right.”

“Is that why the grandpa’s statue is also there?”

Apox, who answered the children’s questions patiently like an encyclopedia, was stumped, but he wisely put this The question was thrown to his father: “Chris, you should ask your grandfather this question?”

While watching the game, Davos listened to the chattering of his children and grandchildren in his ears. At this moment, he did not have the majesty of a king at all. Instead, he looked like an old man enjoying the joy of his family and said with a smile: “I don’t know either. Why, Chris, you have to ask your father, he is responsible for building this stadium.”

Clotokatax saw his father’s intention, and then jokingly said: “I don’t know why, because the stadium The entire pattern of the mid-ridge was designed by your Uncle Alex, and of course I approved the construction.”

When the children looked at Alex sitting beside Eunice with questioning eyes, the The master sculptor, who is usually taciturn, but speaks bluntly as soon as he opens his mouth, said perfunctorily: ”

Don’t you think this design is beautiful, children?”

When the children nodded in agreement, Antebris snorted. Laughing, he couldn’t help but say: “Brother-in-law, I usually see you as honest, but now you have learned to lie. You might as well just say that you are flattering your father by designing this way.

” It is very imposing, but the statue of Davos riding a horse and swinging a sword is obviously larger than the statue of Poseidon who rides the waves, and the position is higher, giving the audience a feeling that the descendants of Hades are more Poseidon, one of the three main gods, is also powerful.

“What nonsense!” Eunice glared, reaching out and hitting the back of her brother’s head lightly.

“Mom, did you see it? Eunice hit me!” Antebris immediately complained to Cristoia.

“How old are you, you are still like children, and you are not afraid of your children’s jokes!” Kristoa laughed and scolded.

“Father, mother, and everyone… It’s almost noon, you are all hungry, first drink some syrup and eat something.” Axikus smiled and walked into the royal stand, followed by four slaves, All were holding silver plates in their hands, filled with sumptuous food.

“I said Axicus, Ribazzo is in charge of preparing the lunch, don’t follow along, sit down and watch the game together as a family.” Cristoia kindly persuaded.

Axicus smiled and said, “I can’t be idle, help Ribazzo—”

“Sit down!” Agnes gave him an impatient look.

“Hey!” Axicus nodded quickly and sat down. Facing this mother-in-law, who always spoke little, he was always a little nervous.

When he sat down, he immediately picked up a jar of slurry and handed it over: “Aviya, here’s it for you.”

Ivia took it with a smile.

“Everyone, pay attention, there is still the last half lap!” Antebris’s shout focused all the eyes of the royal family on the arena.

After the last corner, the Egyptian car was still at the forefront, followed by Procris, these two cars Away from the other cars.

There is a 500-meter straight ahead, and the staff has already pulled up the red cloth at the finish line. The winner of this round will be chosen among the two of them.

Procris was anxious, he looked at the Egyptian racing car on the inside, and his racing car was still a horse head behind him.

The Egyptians are so stable. Since the first lap, they have been in the first place and have never been surpassed, but Procris is not willing to admit defeat: there is still the last half lap. when!

He raised his whip and hit the mare in the middle with a moderate force, shouting at the same time: “Ephra! Ephra! Run! Run! Run!”

It seemed It was after he understood Procris’s words that the beautiful mare shook its slender neck and let out a crisp and pleasant neighing. Its tired hooves moved faster, and the decayed speed suddenly increased again.

The stallions also speeded up and neighed, all trying to show their strength in front of their beloved girl.

Procris’s racing car not only caught up with the Egyptian racing car, but also slightly surpassed it.

Seeing this, the Egyptian driver also tried his best to speed up the car.

The two cars raced side by side on the wide track, galloping fast.

The enthusiasm of the audience also reached its peak. Almost all of them stood up and danced. The cheers erupted from wave to wave. This warm race atmosphere not only injected great strength into the riders, but also the horses.

The horses hoofed their hooves into the air, their originally soft manes and ponytails floated straight in the air, and the sweat on their bodies stretched out as their muscles contracted and stretched, and swayed all around…

“It’s so beautiful! It’s so beautiful!” Arik Once again, Sis revelled in front of the railing.

The distance of 500 meters is just a short moment for a racing car at full speed.

too fast!

When the two cars crossed the finish line, many spectators couldn’t even tell who had won until the race staff handed the flag of the Holy Kingdom of Dionia to Procris, who wore it and drove the carriage , When walking around the field slowly, the audience applauded him desperately: Can you not be very excited?

Because the winner is the Turiyi player, who is the real one!

Procris kept waving to the audience around him and smiled very happily. Although the car race is not over, he will participate in the next races in the next few days, and he may not even win the final championship, but at the moment he completely enjoys it. With his own glory.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

July 15, the last day of the Dionysian Games, according to preparations The latest medal list announced by the group, the first place is Athens, the second place is the Arcadia Alliance led by Mandinia and Alice, and the third place is the Kingdom of Dionia. Region and Thebes led the Pioxia Union.

According to the rules set by the Dionysian Games, in the finals of each event, three points are awarded for the champion, two points for the second place, and one point for the third place. One or two points, it can be seen that the competition is fierce.

Athens can be ranked first, which is expected by many old spectators of the Games. After all, it has a long-standing sports competition culture, a sufficient population and abundant financial resources to cultivate outstanding competitive talents. There is no shortage of Athenians winning the championship. It is a veritable sports powerhouse. It is not surprising that it performed well in the traditional competitions of the Dionysian Games this time.

On the other hand, the performance of Sparta, another native Greek sports power, has been disappointing. They have only scored a pitiful two points so far, and the sport it used to be best at – heavy equipment racing, did not even rank. get.

Of course, this is understandable, because since Dionia conquered Sparta and rebuilt the new government, the new government of Sparta has long been proud of the original Spartans during the past five years. , and implemented the regime reformed by Lekugu for hundreds of years and thrown into the garbage heap. Naturally, the military tradition of surviving the fittest from infancy to the youth and still insisting on intensive training that Spartan citizens have long insisted on is naturally cancelled. The former Spartans either farmed the fields or learned to sail and trade in the port. Their physical fitness and skills have been abandoned, and they are completely unable to compete with the strong players.

And it is naturally the players from the Kingdom of Dionia who have replaced Sparta and monopolized the heavy equipment race. Not only in the heavy equipment racing, these Dionia players also include the top players of the newly created 5 military events. 8, and also showed strong advantages in archery, javelin, horse riding, racing, and rowing, which attracted the attention of the invited envoys from friendly city-states and forces, because these competitions are closely related to the military. , from this side can show the strength of Dionia’s military power.

The Dionysian Games are underway and there is still one last event left – the marathon.

There was a lot of controversy when the preparatory team for the Games set up the marathon running route.
