The Archon of the Archon "Davers's clerk, because he often went to the ranks to convey Davers's orders, and many people knew him, so Assistes stood on the ridge and shouted, and Izzam immediately dropped his farm implements and ran over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Assistes looked at the maverick Dukeya and couldn't help but laugh: "I said Izzam, why are you working so the farm, and you still pull your own wife?!" ”

"The first city-state army training will be held in two days, and I heard that this training is very strict, and after the training, the archon will teach everyone to play a fun game! I had to finish the farm work so I could devote myself to training. Izzam said as he wiped his sweat with his sweaty short liner.

Assistes said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "yes, you are already very decent in your farm work, more like Greeks than us Greeks!" ”

Izzam laughed, and took all the words of Ashistes as a compliment: "It's easy to work, but it's more troublesome to get water, and it's a waste of a slave of mine to carry water!" He complained.

"I've heard that Master Davers has asked Alexis to gather carpenters to discuss what kind of 'waterwheel' to build, and when it is completed, it will be placed by the river, so that the water of the Sinni River can flow directly into a field like yours." Arcises whispered a little playfully.

"Oh, there's such an amazing thing! What does that 'waterwheel' look like?! Izzam asked curiously.

"I heard that Lord Davers said that it was roughly like a wheel, you can ask Lord Davers what it looks like." Arcistes shrugged, saying he wasn't very clear either.

"How dare I ask the Archon!" Izzam said in awe that when he first served as a mercenary guide, he often saw Davers, and at that time he was more curious about this person who could become the leader of the mercenaries at such a young age, but with the mercenaries led by Davers, winning again and again, the weight in his heart became heavier and heavier, and there were always rumors in the army about "he is a god", and some rumors even said that "Davers is the bloodline left by Hades in the world". This made the more ignorant and god-worshipping Dukia Izzam look at the young leader in awe. When Davers called on mercenaries to go with him to Great Greece, even if he was thousands of miles away from his homeland, Izzam did not hesitate to follow, because he firmly believed that following the "son of God" would never suffer.

"Now that you have a chance, Lord Davers wants to see you." Arcises laughed.

"Really?!" Izzam asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true! How dare I joke with you in the name of Master Davers! As soon as Assistes finished speaking, Izzam shouted for joy, and without wiping his face or dust, shouted to his wife in Lucanian language, and then ran away in the direction of the city of Amendolara.

…………………………

"Izzam, we're meeting again! I heard that the Senate also gave you a house and a land, and also married a wife, how are you doing? Still used to it? Do you cry because you miss your hometown? ……”

As soon as they met, Davers greeted Izzam with concern, which made him nervous and uneasy, and he excitedly told Davers about his experience during this time, Davers listened carefully, and finally said: "You see, the Greeks, the Dukeas, and the Lucanians can live together very well, like a big family, right?!" ”

"Yes, Lord Archon!" "As far as I know, many of my teammates who have married Lucanian women say that they have found a good wife, even though they don't speak Greek very well, and they don't know how to weave, make bread, or direct slaves...... But they are all studying hard, and they can take the initiative to help their husbands do heavy work, and the way they express their feelings is also very warm, and they dare to try all kinds of ...... with their husbands at night"

Izzam said that although it was a little vulgar, Davers laughed: "Yes, our Greek women are too traditional and conservative, and the two sides should learn from each other!" ”

Seeing that Davers was so easy-going, Izzam became a little bolder, and said, "It's just...... It's just that these Lucanian women miss their loved ones very much and hope that their loved ones will soon be free! ”

Davos's expression of joy remained unchanged, in fact, he was happy to see such a situation arise: "Rest assured, the city-state has not abused their relatives, and has taken good care of them, and as long as they can keep their promises, they will be freed when the deadline we have set has been set, and this period will be shortened if they behave well." You can go back and tell your wife that she is telling the other Lucanian women that the city-state will arrange for them to meet their relatives in a while! ”

"I will, Lord Archon." Izzam nodded.

"I'm calling you today to ask if you'd like to complete a mission?" Davers finally got to the point, he looked at Izzam and said in a deep voice: "We need to know about the situation in the Lucania region, and now we don't know anything about what's going on there, I need someone to sneak in there to find out the news, and Asistes recommended you to me." ”

"I'm willing to go!" Izzam replied without hesitation.

Davers didn't expect him to agree so quickly, and reminded him again: "This is a very dangerous task, even life-threatening, you don't think about it anymore?" ”

"I'm sure!" Although Izzam yearns for the prosperity of the outside world, but the strict rules in the army, he always feels a little uncomfortable, he likes the feeling of running freely in the mountains and forests, and the excitement of quietly approaching the prey, and now there is a good opportunity in front of him: "However, Lord Archon, please give me some time to prepare." ”

"Don't worry, you can prepare carefully. As soon as you make it back from Lucania, I'll set up a Mountain Scout Team, with you as the leader. In addition, after you leave, I will also ask Christoya to pay attention to the situation in your family and solve the difficulties in your family at any time! ”

Davers's commitment and care made Izzam both grateful and excited, and he exclaimed, "Don't worry, Lord Archon! I'm going to find out the news of Lucania and come back with a bang! Please keep me the position of the Recon Team Leader! ”

"Good!" Davers likes confident subordinates, and the establishment of a reconnaissance team is his consideration in the past few days, after all, the Apennine Peninsula is mostly mountainous, which makes the reconnaissance cavalry subject to many restrictions, and a mountain reconnaissance team that can easily climb the mountains and mountains and lurk and observe will give Amendolara the army greater help.

……………………

Bagul was leading his people to build warehouses and inns for Amendolara, and they were divided into several groups: one to cut down trees, one to polish stones, and one to lay the foundation.

A dozen craftsmen from the city-state, some instructing Lucalya's slaves in laying the foundations, others doing measurements.

Alexis and Heraclide were on the site monitoring the progress of the work while reviewing the drawings.

Heraclydes, the apprentice of the famous Greek engineer Hippodamus, who had been involved in the design and construction of the city of Turiyi with his teacher when he was young, had the greatest regret that he did not stay in Turiy, so he would have been the original citizen of Turiy. However, he returned to Athens with his teacher, after which Perikles' political enemies accused Perikles' mistress Aspasia of taking bribes during the construction of the Parthenon, and Hippodamus was inexplicably implicated, his teacher was imprisoned, he was expelled from Athens, and he returned to his homeland in disheartened. As a result, the Balloponnesian War broke out, and his hometown was plunged into war, and life began to be difficult......

Twenty years later, he fled from his hometown occupied by Sparta with his wife and children, and came to the relatively war-torn Greece itself, and to the relatively peaceful Great Greece, for which he had contributed to Turiyi. But at this time, Turriy was no longer the Turriy that needed a large number of immigrants and talents when the city was first built, and the city hall refused to accept him as a citizen of the city-state, and Heraclyde, who was already penniless, had to come down to the port, which was more than twenty years. For more than 20 years, he and his children built houses and repaired city walls for others...... He gradually gained some fame and saved some money, but he was still a free man under the fence, living in a crowded and damp shack, without land or status. At this time, he was already old, his wife had died of illness a few years ago, he no longer had much demand for life, and his only regret was that his son Heraclyde Jr. was still young, and had fully inherited his skills, and should have a brighter future......

While he was worrying about his children's future, one day a stranger walked into the humble wooden house he shared with someone else, because he still remembered the conversation vividly after a few days.

"Who is Heraclyde?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"I heard that you were an apprentice of Hippodamus and built the city of Turiyi?"

"Yes, it's true, I never lie."

"Then would you be willing to accept Amendolara's employment to oversee the construction of some works, and pay fifty drachmas a month."

"What kind of project?"

"I don't know much about this, but when you go, Alexis, the builder of Amendorala, will tell you. At the same time, he asked me to tell you, 'If you do a good job, and indeed have a talent for architecture, he will recommend to Lord Davos, the consul, that you become a citizen of Amendolara.' ”

Immediately, he heard the envy of the people behind him.

Note: Hippodamus, a native of Miletus, a friend of Pericles, the most famous architect and planner of ancient Greece, and the port of Piraeus, the commercial center of Athens, was his handiwork.
