The young King Alexander and his generals walked to the center of the field, and the glittering body of the field made the spectators in the stands enthusiastic, and the stage resounded with enthusiastic drumming and shouting.

The stadium is surrounded by "cheerleaders" armed with harps, transverse flutes, and drums and horns.

Ten black-clad referees, as well as representatives of athletes from various city-states, quickly stepped up the steps and swore aloud to the audience on the steps of the temple of Zeus, the original text was too long, which probably meant to promise Zeus, the father of all gods, that he would definitely show his true strength in the competition, never violate the rules of the Olympic Games, and pledge in the reputation of the city-states that he would never bribe the referees and play in a civilized manner.

I didn't expect the games in ancient Greece to be so formal, and after the athletes took the oath, the audience played the representative music of the winning city-state in the last games.

A black-clad referee stood on the starting stand and announced: The morning of the 111th Olympiad has officially begun, with wrestling matches in Arena 1, boxing matches in Arena 2, and pentathlon first running in Arena 3.

Ancient Greece had more than 100 city-states in its strongest period, among which Athens, Sparta, and Thebes were strong in the ancient Greek city-states in terms of economy, military, and sports, but since Alexander's father Philip II, Macedonia occupied the position of the leader of the league with strong military strength, and now the Greek League must have at least dozens of city-states, after the pre-game referee's evaluation of the athletes' qualifications, some players have been eliminated, even so, the number of today's games must be a lot.

"Sister Mercer, let's go to Arena No. 3 to watch." I don't know when Bal Xin sat behind Mo Jiu, and today she wore a scarf scarf inlaid with carnelian just like Jiu'er.

"Sister, when did you come? Why didn't I see you? Mo Jiu asked in surprise.

"How can you see me, my eyes are all over the men on the playground." Bal Xin teased Mo Jiu.

"Isn't it the same for my sister, saying that she went to Arena 3 to watch the game, when I don't know who you are for?" Jiu'er looked at Bal Xin with a wicked smile.

"yes, I'm going to watch Alexander, so we're going." Barzen was blunt.

Bal Xin took Jiu'er's hand, walked from the back side of the stands to the No. 3 arena, the two of them bent on their waists, for fear of blocking the view of others, the ancient Greeks' obsession with the Games was close to the point of madness, as long as the Flame Warriors carried the flame to the city-states to announce that the Olympia Games were about to be held, even if it was invaded by foreign enemies, everyone would immediately stop fighting and flock to the host city of the Olympics to participate in the games, if anyone disturbed the men watching the games on the field, there would be serious consequences.

Jiu'er and Bar Xin moved lightly from the first stand to the third arena, where Alexander was participating in the short robe competition, as a woman Jiu'er understood Bar Xin, who doesn't want to see the demeanor of the big hero.

The new Corinthian League lord - King Alexander, tamed the wild horse at the age of 12 - Pusfilu, went to the battlefield at the age of 16 and made many military exploits, inherited the throne at the age of 20, conquered the surrounding countries at the age of 21, Thebes, Athens and other major Greek city-states except Sparta surrendered one after another, becoming a veritable Corinthian League lord, the main family is still a charming, youthful and invincible twenty-year-old handsome young man, which woman does not love ah.

It's just that this sister Bal Xin is also a twenty-** year old person anyway, no matter how beautiful she is, is there a slight gap in age, Jiu'er muttered in her heart.

There are already nine athletes standing on the starting line, the ancient Greek race is 200 yards long, 182 meters, rounded up to count as a 200-meter track, Alexander stands on track 2, the referee holds a palm branch, "Ready, run!" ”

Nine athletes rushed to the finish line like wild horses, the ** body coated with olive oil, showing the beauty of the man to the fullest, only 200 meters of the track, Alexander took the lead in reaching the finish line with a distance of about ten meters ahead of the second place, cheers in the stands resounded throughout the venue, the referee awarded the palm branch to Alexander, because it is a five-skill competition, he will also have to bid for the gun, throw the discus, jump, wrestling four competitions, the five competitions take the way of elimination, the last one is the wrestling competition.

Having already predicted the outcome of the game, Mo Jiu was not interested in watching it any further, so he turned to Bal Xin and said, "Sister Bal Xin, let's go to another venue to have a look, isn't there an exchange market on the periphery of the No. 3 Arena, let's take a look." "Women naturally love shopping, and Jiu'er has to go shopping in the ancient bazaar that is rare in a lifetime.

Bal Xin was reluctantly pulled down from the stands by Mo Jiu.

"Sister Nine of Moore, you said Alexander can win the all-around competition, he is also too sexy, the sexiest man I have ever seen."

Jiu'er smiled bitterly at Bal Xin, nymphomania, this can be regarded as the initial period of love between this sister and brother.

Although Barshin was the wife of Memnon, in the ancient Greek period, most of the relationship between men and women was only the relationship between family and birth, especially in Sparta a century ago, the national law stipulated that men should marry at the age of 30 and stay in the barracks until they were 40 years old, not only for military considerations, but also because the cities of ancient Greece were mountainous, arable land was small, and the population pressure was high, so in order to control the excessive increase in population, this "ascetic" way lasted for a long time, The family relationship under this system can be imagined, so Jiu'er guessed that Balxin and Mennon had no relationship at all.

As he spoke, he had arrived at the southeast corner of the Olympia venue where the city-states displayed their goods, which was crowded with more people than in the stands, and it was not only a dazzling array of goods that caught his eye; There are also poets who recite poetry; philosophers who make philosophical statements and foam at the mouth; Historians tell aloud about the events of Greek history from the sixth century BC to the millennium BC; There are also various artistic creations of artists placed on the marble platforms on both sides......

Jiu'er remembers asking her teacher a question when she was in middle school, why there were so many philosophers, writers, historians, thinkers, and all kinds of scholars in ancient Greece, and today I can figure it out.

Emotional people are trained from real swords and guns in life, looking at the few philosophers in the northeast corner wearing the pure wrapping cloak of Hima, the posture of the debate is by no means easier than a war; In order to convince the listener of their speeches, historians danced and demonstrated various movements.

An old man in the middle of the south to do experiments attracted Mo Jiu's attention, he was doing scientific experiments, this person should be Alexander's teacher Aristotle, with the funding of Alexander University, Aristotle opened an academy in Athens, Alexander's clear logical thinking, non-negligible oratory ability, and a high degree of understanding of science, the world, geography, and astronomy, are inseparable from the cultivation of this old man, he shaped Alexander into an all-encompassing king.

Unfortunately, the teacher-student, who once admired each other, eventually became enemies, mainly because of Alexander's friendly attitude towards the Orientals, and the teacher's advocacy that the Oriental barbarians should be treated by barbarians.

Mo Jiu walked to the old man's side, "Hello, respected teacher Aristotle, I am Mo Jiu from Syria, and I have a question for you. ”

The old man looked up at Jiu'er, "Say, child, I will tell you what I know without reservation." ”

"You are the teacher of the King of Macedonia, do you support King Alexander's plan to start the Eastern Crusade" Jiu'er smiled faintly, this old man is a well-deserved thinker today, I don't know what he thinks of his beloved disciple's expedition to Persia.

Aristotle first froze for a moment, and then looked at Mo Jiu kindly, "Alexander will become the king of kings in this world." ”

Jiu'er smiled, the teacher's prediction was really accurate.

Jiu'er bowed to the old man, the great thinker of ancient Greece, the most knowledgeable old man in the classical period, worthy of her Mo Jiu bowing for him.

Leaving the learned thinkers, Mojiu and Barcin wandered into the mercantile area, where barley bread, apples, cherries, figs, melons, mulberries, pears, and dates from Mesopotamia; Sumerian king's fruit cake, this cake is made with a cup of butter, a third cup of cheese, three cups of first class coconut, and a third cup of raisins, mixed together with refined flour, and it makes your mouth water just thinking about it.

"Boss, I want this cake, how much does it cost?"

"A silver coin."

"Silver?" Jiu'er forgot that in ancient Greece, they used gold and silver coins with the heads of kings and Zeus, but Mo Jiu didn't have these things.

"Sister." Mo Jiu looked at Bal Xin flatteringly.

Bal Xin shook her head and signaled to Mo Jiu that she didn't bring any money either.

"Sister, the wife of a dignified leader, you go out without money?" Mo Jiu looked at Bal Xin reproachfully.

"I just cared about taking a seat early, and I came out in too much of a hurry, so I forgot to bring it, and said that I, didn't you bring it too?" Barshin retorted.

Jiu'er looked at the fruit cake thousands of years ago, and he had to eat a piece of it anyway. Jiu'er looked at Heaton on his body, and suddenly his eyes lit up, there were more than a dozen gold pins on Heaton, which could be used for money, as well as the carnelian inlaid on the cloak of the head, which could be used for money.

"Boss, I didn't bring gold coins, can I exchange the gold pin on my body for a cake?" Jiu'er looked at the stall owner selling cakes with expectant eyes.

"Sister Moer, are you stupid? How much cake can a pin change, besides, if you take off the pin, won't the clothes be loose? Bal Xin picked up Jiu'er and wanted to leave.

Mo Jiu broke free of Bal Xin's hand, "It's okay, isn't there a dozen pins here, not bad for this one, boss, can you exchange one pin for two fruit cakes and a few cherries?" ”

The owner of the goods was really refreshing, and without saying a word, he packed all the things Jiu'er wanted in a linen bag.

Mo Jiu and Bal Xin admired the goods of each family while walking, eating delicious food in their mouths, and they didn't expect that this time they would enjoy the crossing.

A faint fragrance wafted in the wind, and a spice stall caught Mo Jiu's attention, with a stove on top of it with different ingredients, and the stall owner was demonstrating the process of refining spices, next to cedar, cypress branches, myrtle plants, and benzoin.

"Boss, bring me a bottle of incense, cedar-scented one." Mo Jiu skillfully untied a pin and exchanged it for a red, white and black faience vase, which was filled with cedar incense.

There are also colorful cosmetics from Egypt, colorful Heaton clothes, and some trinkets... Mo Jiu, who should have bought and shouldn't have bought, bought it.

"Sister, look at you, I just said don't buy so many things, you see that none of the ornaments on our cloaks are gone, and there are only two pins left on Heaton, this dress doesn't need to be dragged by hand, I'm afraid it will fall." Bal Xin complained, but she was more energetic than Jiu'er when it came to shopping.

Bal Xin really regarded herself as a sister, always blaming Jiu'er, Mo Jiu pursed her lips and said, "Didn't you buy it too, and still say me?" The game should be over at this hour, so let's get back to the tent. Sister, don't forget to bring silver coins tomorrow. Mo Jiu doesn't have silver coins, but as the leader's wife, Bal Xin should have a lot, sisters, Jiu'er should spend her a few silver coins, Mo Jiu smiled at Bal Xin's sister, and reminded again, "Don't forget to bring silver coins tomorrow." ”

Separated from Sister Bal Xin, Mo Jiu walked towards her tent like a thief, don't run into anyone, now she has lost the image of a woman, let alone the royal priestess.
