And these carriages are not just able to drive and carry people, it has a civil organization - the Carriage Guild, the public carriage within the Dionian Union for special management, only the driving skills, carriage equipment have passed the assessment, in order to obtain the qualification to operate, otherwise once the private passenger is discovered, the patrol will come to the door.

Moreover, Dionia also enacted a special act on the situation of vehicles driving on the highway, which is said to have come from Davers's proposal, 'Any vehicle on the highway must drive on the right-hand side.' In this way, the traffic does not interfere with each other, not only is the chance of accidents on the highway reduced, but the speed of the carriage is naturally increased.

Of course, Nick Stratus and they don't bother with these details behind the carriage, they enjoy the speed of the carriage.

After an hour, the carriage entered the marshy area of the Krukoli River. No, it has now been renamed the Krukoli River Plain. After more than two years of hard work, the Dioonians succeeded in transforming the area by building dikes on the low flats of the Krukoli River, digging ditches, draining and filling the soil, drying and burning the wasteland...... The swamp, which was once wet and filthy and infested with snakes and insects, has been developed into fertile and productive farmland, and even the senators of the Senate are coveted.

Davers fulfilled his promise to give part of the land to the freedmen who had participated in the long project, and almost all of them became Dionia's reserve citizens because of this achievement.

There was a proposal in the Senate to build a small city on this land.

This idea was strongly opposed by the then Governor of Crimesa, Scombras, who argued that Crimesa had spent manpower and material resources to support the transformation of the swamp, and that the construction of the Crimesa-Castelon Avenue had enabled Crimesa to manage the new small plain......

At his insistence, the Krukoli Plain was placed under the jurisdiction of Crimea, which made the strength of Crimesa, which was originally only a small city, suddenly jump to the forefront of the Dionian Union cities, which also caused some natives in Crimesa to consciously improve their status, and wanted to get a piece of the land in the Krukoli Plain, of course the Senate would not allow them to mess around, which also became one of the reasons for the disputes among the people of Crimea.

It's also a patch of farmland, but unlike the plains of Croton, the newly developed land is overgrown with weeds and blooms with colourful wildflowers under the blessing of Parsephone, the goddess of spring. In the foggy distance, there was a village with a faint smoke to be seen. The sound of children playing, parents scolding, roosters and dogs barking from time to time come to the ears, a scene full of life......

Lycasus, who had been watching the outside world through the window of the caravan, suddenly focused his gaze on the shepherds who were driving a large herd of cattle and sheep to drink by the river, dressed differently from the Greeks but so familiar to Lycasus.

"That's a Bruti!" With a tingling in the depths of his memory, Lycasus exclaimed. As a child, he saw the Brutis burning, killing and looting on the Croton Plains, so his memory is still fresh.

Nick Stratus leaned over the window and looked out in surprise.

"There is nothing surprising about this, the present Brutis do not only live in the western mountains, but also in other parts of the Dionian League, and even Asphorustum is settled by the Brutis who came down from the upper valley of the Neto River, and here, the Klukoli Plain, is the place where the largest number of Brutis are located, except for the Bruti Mountains, and it is said that there are several tribes." Aifiarte said smugly.

Lycassus looked at the Bruti shepherds by the river who were talking freely, and he couldn't tell what it was like. For the young people of Crotone, the Brutis were the "nightmare" that their parents used to make them obedient and scare them when they were young, but now they are citizens who have been conquered by Dionia.

"I've heard that there have always been some fighting in the Buruti area in recent years." Nick Stratus said seemingly casually.

"There are no battles, but some skirmishes between the various tribes of Bruti over the land, and the governor of Cosenza easily helped them solve them." Effie Alter argued.

Nick Stratus sneered twice, and the silence in the carriage returned to coldness.

In this small space, the Crotone and the Dionians do not seem to have an easy time getting along with.

Before noon, the carriage entered the city of Castron. The driver had to give the tired horses a rest period to recuperate, as well as feed them grass and drink, so the passengers had an hour to rest.

Nick Stratus consulted with Stasipulus about hiring a new carriage to take them to Turiyi, for he could not bear the inexplicable pride of the Ionian citizen Ephiarte who had been in the same carriage.

Caldias watched the three Crotone men rush into the carriage, shook his head helplessly, and turned to walk to the Cristooa restaurant not far away.

Fortunately, there were still empty seats in the restaurant, and as soon as he sat down, he saw that Ephiarte, who was in the same car, had also entered the restaurant with his fiancée, and after greeting the two, he began to order.

Two years earlier, after the invention of the pan by the blacksmith of Turriy (after numerous experiments at the prompting of Davers), Christoia's restaurant soon introduced a series of fried foods made with olive oil, which quickly became popular throughout the Dionian Union.

Caldias ordered a pan-fried cod and two honey-glazed breads. It didn't take long for the golden cod meat and fragrant bread to be served on the table, and he couldn't wait to grab the hot bread and take a big bite, the crisp and fluffy bread mixed with the sweet aroma of honey stimulated his taste buds and whetted his appetite.

He hurriedly picked up the knife, cut a piece of fish, forked it up with a fork, and put it in his mouth......

Caldias quickly finished his lunch, stroked his bulging belly with satisfaction, then wiped the dishes, set them up, and bowed solemnly. It is said that this set of utensils was invented by Davers, the consul of Dionia, and came from the inspiration of Hades. Caldias was convinced of this, and the small iron fork with only two teeth was not Hades' two-strand fork!

The waiter removed the plate, and Caldias asked for another glass of wine, listening to the other diners chatting while sipping tea. Caldias, who had traveled many times to the Dionian League, could tell that most of the diners in this restaurant were native to Castron, and although the Greek pronunciation of the various Greek city-states was more or less different, the Dionian pronunciation was undoubtedly the most unique, since they treated Lucalians, Brutis, Thracians equally...... After they were all incorporated into the alliance and became citizens of Dionia, their respective cultures merged in constant collisions and conflicts, and even the accents of their voices changed a lot, and a few unfamiliar words from Lucalian or Bruti popped up from time to time, which was the basis for the self-proclaimed noble Crotone and Tarantum people to regard them as "barbaric" to the Dionians.

Caldias did not discriminate like this.

Most of what these Castelón people talk about turned out to be not about the city they live in, but about their neighbor – Tourii: what is going on to be a wedding festival celebration! …… How beautiful is Egnes, the second wife of the Archon of Ionia, Egnes! …… How exactly does Davers meet the needs of his two beautiful wives? …… The Dionian Medical Forum is about to be held in Turiyi, which doctors from Castelon are attending? …… Wait a minute

Some people talk mysteriously: according to rumors, Dionia is going to start building the first stone bridge......

Others excitedly talk about the fact that the third arena in Turiyi's new stadium will be dedicated to football matches......

Some boast of how spectacular the horse racing celebrations they saw last autumn in the Cosenza plateau......

Some will retort: Lucaglia's sheep fighting game is more exciting......

And more people will say in unison: the better and more exciting is undoubtedly the South Italy rugby match and the Dionian football match......

When diners talk about their city-states, there are more complaints, and some even declare that it is better to make Casterron part of the Ionian League, rather than independent of the Ionian League as it is now, although more free, will not get more benefits from the Dionian League, and the citizens of Castiron will want more land......

Not only did no one refute his outrageous words, but they were recognized by a small number of diners.

Dionia's influence in Greater Greece is growing! Caldias thought with a sigh, and he estimated the time, and walked out of the restaurant and towards the carriage. Beside the carriage in which he was riding, he saw three dejected Crotonens.

It turned out that the carriages in the carriage had been hired, and many of Castro's fiancés and people wanted to go to Turriy to attend the marriage festival at the Temple of Hera.

So, there were still six people on the same road, speechless all the way.

After three hours of jolting, the carriage finally stopped.

"It's time to stop." The coachman shouted.

When Lycassus looked out, he saw a crowd of people, towering watchtowers, and long wooden bridges.

"This ...... I don't think we have been to the city of Turiyi yet, right? Lycasus said suspiciously.

"This is already outside the southern city of Turii, and horse-drawn carriages are not allowed to cross the bridge, otherwise it will cause congestion. The medical school you're going to is in the Dionian Academy, not far from the bridge...... "Although it is awkward to get along with these Crotonens, as a citizen of Dionia, Ephiarte has the consciousness of being the master. After saying these words, he took his fiancée's hand, got out of the carriage, and walked along the flow of people to the Nancheng outpost.
