Chapter 42: The Glory of the Warriors

A ray of sunlight in the early morning slanted into Mo Jiu's spacious tent, filtered through the curtain, sifted into fine highlights sprinkled on Jiu'er's delicate cheeks, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes slowly opened, the sound of gongs and drums outside the tent came into Jiu'er's ears, clear eyes suddenly flashed, the closing ceremony of the sports meeting will be held today, it will be very lively, Jiu'er from the soft bed, quickly jumped to the ground, grabbed a piece of clothing at random and walked to the door.

Ling'er stepped into the tent in one step, pulled Mo Jiu over, dragged it hard in front of a bronze mirror, looked at Jiu'er funny and said, "Miss, how can you run out without dressing up, today's award ceremony is very important, you can't make any mistakes!" ”

"What could I have gone wrong? I'm an idler who watches the excitement and can't make a mistake at all, right? Jiu'er squinted at Ling'er and asked strangely.

"Little miss, I don't know that General Ptolemy has sent a message saying that your previous prophecy for the Games has come true, and King Alexander is very pleased that he wants to announce to all the Greeks at the altar of Zeus: appoint you as the royal lady of all Greece. I want you to join him in the championship celebration parade that follows! Ling'er's little face flushed with excitement, and the master went further, which was also a good thing for the waiting slaves.

Different from Ling'er's mood, hearing Ling'er's narration, Jiu'er suddenly became nervous, and kept muttering in her heart: If you want me to go on stage, how can this be good? I originally wanted to be an audience at the closing ceremony easily, but who would have expected such a thing, I knew it earlier, and I made a few mistakes about the results of the divination at random.

Let Mo Jiu come to power, as Ling'er said, she really has no confidence in herself, who knows if anything will go wrong, she is a "perfect" troublemaker these days, and she is actually out of trouble.

Still, it's a good feeling to be able to stand on a high platform and look down on everyone.

Thinking of this, the corners of Mo Jiu's mouth raised, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled strangely at Ling'er: "Ling'er, help me comb my hair well today, paint me a standard Greek women's makeup, bring the most beautiful goose-yellow Heaton, emerald green pure tunics, and cloak ......"

"Miss, you finally know how to be cautious." Ling'er interrupted Mo Jiu's words and teased excitedly.

"What's cautious, I just feel that today is the most glorious moment in my life for the Nine Daughters of Moor, and I must go into battle."

"Miss, you are really a natural pistachio and ......"

"And what?" Jiu'er looked at Ling'er curiously, with a hint of expectant smile on the corner of her mouth.

"And the troublemaker, haha.." Fei'er stepped in from outside the tent and said teasingly.

"Two dead girls, no big or small, even the master dares to laugh." Jiu'er casually picked up the wooden comb beside him and smashed it at Fei'er.

Fei'er quickly caught the wooden comb and stuck out her tongue at Jiu'er.

The master and servant suddenly frolicked.

Finally, Ling'er finished dressing up Jiu'er with difficulty in the frolic between Mo Jiu and Fei'er.

Mo Jiu stood in front of the bronze mirror and admired it with admiration: "Tut, this is a beauty in the world, it is clearly a fairy descending to earth!" ”

The two girls covered their mouths and snickered.

In fact, Jiu'er's evaluation of himself is not too much, at this time, Mo Jiu, wearing a goose-yellow Ionian Heaton underwear, a green Shima pure gold coat embroidered with ivy patterns, his face is painted with Persian rouge, and he paints eyeshadow with thin lines, Fei'er also dyed Jiu'er's black hair into the most popular golden yellow, the willow-green ribbon loosely tied the blonde hair behind his head, and a gold hairpin inlaid with carnelian was inserted in the bun, and the jingling bull head style pure gold earrings, The solid gold arm ornament in the shape of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, encrusted with emeralds, was no less luxurious than the dress of a Macedonian princess at the time.

With Mo Jiu's delicate little face with white and pink, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes flashing with long eyelashes, and a pair of seductive lips that exude the fragrance of a girl, even Jiu'er herself wants to kiss it.

Looking at his charming and lovely self in the bronze mirror, Jiu'er let out a long sigh: People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and being rich is capricious.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Jiu'er's mouth, and she walked out with her head held high.

I hated in my heart and said: Look who still calls me an ugly woman today.

"Wait, Miss, you haven't veiled yet!"

In ancient Greece, women wore veils to attend major ceremonies. Ling'er covered Mo Jiu's face with a veil as thin as a silkworm wing behind her ear.

I also wanted everyone to see my true face, Mo Jiu reluctantly tugged at the corner of his clothes, raised his chin and blew the veil hanging down his mouth boringly.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads helplessly.

.........................................................................................

The sacred altar of Zeus stood opposite the temple, and at this time, the sloping stands around the altar were empty, and the men were dressed in various colors of Hima pure tunics, half-naked and toned, and their bodies were coated with olive oil, and their skin was set off more solidly and powerfully.

The athletes wore various fancy belts on their heads, and the screen was full of sports.

There were several women sitting on the third floor of the grandstand opposite the temple, and the women who could attend such an occasion were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and they were naturally dressed in gorgeous clothes.

Mojiu followed the Ptolemaic general, crossed the marble path in front of the temple to the foot of the altar, and walked up the steps with ornate Persian carpets.

Alexander on the altar was seen from afar, the young king was dressed in a golden Doric Heaton, a short cloaked in dark purple wool, a pure gold armband on his upper arm, an armband of Zeus inlaid with ivory, a subtle olive oil sheen on his bare skin, and an angular face like a sculpture, greeting Jiu'er with a smile.

Mo Jiu involuntarily raised her head and returned the gentlest smile to the king, and Jiu'er felt her spring heart sprouting through the tulle, like all Greek women, the king was the male god in her heart at this time.

Next to Alexander was Seleucus, his majestic eyes could not hide the complexity of his heart, and Mo Jiu avoided Seleucus's eyes.

Moving his gaze to Cosimachus on the left side of Seleucus, the same young face, no emotion can be seen, this Alexander's fellow general, deep down in his heart hidden an incomprehensible heart, but one thing is certain, he is Alexander's faithful guardian.

On the right side of Alexander stood an old man with gray hair, wearing a simple bronze Xima pure coat, sharp eyes, and a resolute face, appearing at the altar at this time, it is not difficult to guess that he is the Macedonian national high priest Arestander, at this time he is raising his eyes to look at Jiu'er, his gaze is dignified, so that Mo Jiu can't help but feel cold behind his back, it seems that he is not friendly to Jiu'er, his peers, this glance, exposed Arestander's heart.

Standing beside Arestander, an indescribable sense of oppression suddenly startled Jiu'er, and he had a trace of inhuman aura!

The alien aura awakened Mo Jiu's Heavenly Eye spiritual power, and when he looked sideways, Jiu'er saw a hazy gray halo behind Arestander, and his face seemed to be a little different, and on his left wrist, a black inverted pentagram imprint loomed.

The mark of the Nine Fallen Angels of Hell!

Ahh How could such a big-name figure appear here, and it was even more difficult to take back Alexander's Patronus Beast under his nose than to ascend to the sky!

No matter which of the Nine Great Fallen Heavens he is, his mana is beyond her Mo Jiu's reach! Let's hope he has no interest in the White Tiger.

Momentarily distracted, Jiu'er forgot the steps under his feet, stumbled, and almost fell in front of Arestander.

"Be careful, it's always frizzy." Seleucus stepped forward and grabbed Jiu'er's arm.

Mo Jiu pushed Seleucus's arm away and glared at him angrily, what do you care, even if you fall, what does it have to do with him.

There were just a few people on the altar, a state priest, two royal guards (Seleucus, Cosimachus), and an important person, the royal priestess, Melmer IX.

It's strange to say, doesn't Alexander still have an extremely handsome and extremely important close partner Hephaestion, such an important person, Mo Jiu has been here for so many days, why haven't he even seen his shadow, there shouldn't be no him on such an important occasion now, and I still want to see the heroic appearance of this beautiful man, standing beside the king, Mo Jiu secretly glanced at Alexander, and secretly thought in his heart.

Immersed in his own imagination, Jiu'er couldn't help but smile wickedly at the corner of his mouth, and when he looked up, he happened to meet Seleucus's cold gaze.

The latter winked at him, obviously reminding Mo Jiu not to get into trouble.

Mo Jiu pursed his lips and withdrew his restless gaze in boredom.

"Alright, High Priestess, we can begin." Cosimachus said lightly to Aristander.

High Priest Arestand turned around, waved his right hand to the messenger behind him, signaling sacrifice, and in a moment, the two young priests raised their iron sacrificial broadswords, slaughtered a goat on the spot, and threw it into the blazing altar fire, the cruel scene made Mo Jiu's eyes drift a little, dodging left and right, not knowing how to place her kind eyes.

Arestander beside him recited a prayer and prayed that the god Zeus would protect Macedonia from prosperity, just like the athletes of the Olympic Games, with infinite national power. Bless King Alexander's forthcoming crusade through the Persian kingdoms and their vassals.

It was not until this time that Mo Jiu finally understood why Alexander held the Olympic Games during the Olympic hiatus, and he had to participate in the events in person, it turned out that this was to show his ability and national strength to the Greek city-states and the whole world, all of which were preparations for the Eastward Expedition to Asia, thoughtful, ingenious, and intelligent, this is Alexander before the Eastward Expedition to Asia.

While thinking wildly, Cosimachus pushed Jiu'er and motioned her to take a step forward, Jiu'er took a step forward and walked to Alexander's right, the crowd under the stage was black and oppressive, it was said that there were 10,000 representatives from all walks of life in various city-states, and they all gathered here today, such a big scene, Jiu'er was really a little nervous.

"Representatives of the city-states of the Corinthian League, this king is here today to announce to the whole of Greece that the nine of the nine of the city of Mel are appointed as the royal women of all Greece, the nine of the nine of the nine of the gods of the Olympic Games before the Olympic Games were prophesied to be the winners of the Olympic championships, today's competition, the nine of the nine of the nine of the gods of the United States of Greece of the United States, this is the strength of our Greek royal women, I believe that with the assistance of the nine of the of the two Jiu'er took a deep breath, it turned out that he was also a pawn of the king.
