Chapter 13: Hermis and Agnes

The openness and audacity of the Dionian woman tended to amaze the Gentiles who first arrived in Dionia, and the conservative would secretly mock the "savage".

But in fact, the formation of this open atmosphere is on the one hand due to the "brute" influence of the Lucanians and the Brutis in the demographic composition of the Union, and on the other hand, it is also the result of the deliberate indulgence of the League's top brass, mainly Davers. Just imagine, even the presiding priest of the temple of Hera allows the couple to kiss in public, and regards it as sacred, what is the point of a woman showing her head and a dew point curve. The Ionians were accustomed to it, and this openness aroused the desire of young men and women in the neighboring Dionian League-states, not to mention Castron, and even the unmarried men and women of Heraclia and Metapontum came to participate in the marriage festival. Davers was pleased to see this happen, and it marked the fact that these "customs" of the emerging Dionian League were leading the fashion and deepening their influence on Greater Greece.

At this time, the people fell into a splashing carnival, and the patrol soldiers in it became an embarrassing existence. A patrol member dodged the splashed water and suggested to Rodom, "Captain, there won't be any trouble here, why don't we go to the splashing carnival?!" ”

Rodom is no longer the Bruti youth who didn't know anything about Dionya a few years ago, and he knows that Dionian citizens break the law and commit crimes the same as tax evasion, once they are stained, whether they want to enter the army or hold public office, it is extremely difficult, and Dioonians generally do not allow themselves to make such mistakes unless they are crazy.

But he still reprimanded: "Let's not take chances, if something really happens, you and I are not in the post, and we will not escape the responsibility!" ”

The patrolman stopped talking, and Rodom comforted the tribesman again: "Marriage Festival is held every year, if you really want to participate, marry a Greek woman next year, and I will give you a holiday!" ”

"How can a Greek woman be so easy to marry?" The team member muttered.

According to Dionian law, there were many incentives for foreigners to marry Greek women, but after the integration of the Bruti region and part of Lucaria (i.e., Picosis) into the Dionian League, a large number of foreigners became Dionian citizens or reserve citizens, making Greek women extremely sought-after. Due to the development of Dionya in recent years, the land distribution has been close to saturation, and the freedmen see that there is no hope of dividing the land in a short time, and the number of people stranded in the territory of Dioonia has begun to decrease, so that many foreign citizens have no choice but to hit the women of neighboring countries. However, most non-Ionian Greek women and families could not accept the marriage proposals of a foreigner who was originally considered a "barbarian", even if he was a Dionian citizen.

"Don't be discouraged, you really can't, you can let Lord Bachilippi come forward." Rodom's proposal made the patrolman's eyes light up.

The leader of Bachilipi is now a member of the Dionian Senate, and as the power of Dionya grows stronger, the city-states of Greater Greece become more and more awe-inspiring towards him, and the senators of the Dionian Senate are naturally respected by these city-states, and with the endorsement of Bachilipi, the hope of a successful marriage proposal naturally increases.

………………………………

While the people of Dionya were rejoicing, there were also Gentiles who participated in the ceremony, but most of them did not participate in the excitement, including Hermes of Syracuse.

He looked at the scene with astonishment, and although the absurdity of the marriage celebration was not as absurd as that of Dionysus, the god of wine, it was more joyful and lively than it.

According to his observations during his stay in Turij, the Dioonians were rigid, conformist, and even a little cautious, and when they encountered patrols when traveling and doing things, they were a little withdrawn, far less free than the Greek citizens of other city-states.

But everything in front of him combined with the fierce and hot rugby games he had seen before, he also had to admit that the Dioonians were also crazy in their bones, and even compared with the current Syracuse, they were also tyrant city-states (he thought Davers was a tyrant), and the Dionians were happier and did not feel any oppression.

Syracuse, on the other hand, may have been driven down by the populace (i.e., the time when the Carthaginian army led by Shimilko approached the city of Syracuse), and then he imposed a repressive rule in the city, hunting down democrats, increasing the number of patrols, patrolling the city throughout the day to check for suspicious people...... These are carried out by mercenaries. He set up several military camps not far outside the city, garrisoned by nearly 5,000 mercenaries. He also granted citizenship to a large number of mercenaries (mainly Campanians) and gave them land near Syracuse to establish villages and towns to consolidate his rule.

At the same time, Dionysius forcibly evicted the people living on the island of Ogitian for his own safety, leaving himself and his family and loyal courtiers to live in. He also continued to fortify the walls around the island of Ortigia, building forts to defend them with 2,000 mercenaries he trusted, completely guarding the people of Syracuse as enemies......

Hermes shook his head, squeezing the dangerous thoughts from his head. In any case, he was now appreciated by Dionysius, who was not only well paid but also promoted quickly, and he did not want to be suspicious of this suspicious tyrant one day because of an inappropriate word.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hermis judged that it was time for Polyxis to return, and he left the laughter behind him without hesitation......

Judging from the situation of Polyxis in the Senate in the past few days, the situation is gradually favoring Polyxis, and Davos's seemingly solid power has begun to waver...... It's funny to say that Dionysius' dictatorial and oppressive rule made his throne as stable as Mount Tai, and the people trembled, and no one dared to oppose him! The young consul of Dionia, who was friendly to the people and gentle in his methods, made him hold back from his work, allowing himself and Polyxis and others to take advantage of his flaw and let him do ...... Of course, Hermis will not feel sorry for Davers, in fact, once this matter is successful, he will be greatly promoted by Dionysius, and it is not impossible to sit side by side with the important minister Felistus!

Thinking of this, his heart burned and he strode towards the mansion of Polyxis......

…………………………

As Agnes walked down the cloister of the mansion, the slaves bowed down to her and greeted her.

The attitude of the slaves towards the two beautiful housewives was different: Christoya was shrewd and capable, and she was in charge of the house, and everyone was more in awe of her; As the priest of Artenis and Hera, although her personality is cold, she has a gentle temper, and everyone respects her.

When she came to the wooden door in the backyard, she gently pushed it open, and heard a shout: "Happy Marriage Day!" ”

Then, a white expanse flew towards her, and she couldn't stand a scream, and the water splashed on her body, soaking all over.

"The sneak attack was successful, yes!" Davers high-fived an excited Adores like a child, while Cynthia snickered.

Seeing this, Agnes also laughed. As the main priest, standing high on the platform, no one will splash water on her, watching the people in the square having so much fun, she sometimes thinks enviously: If only I could splash it!

Now, her wish has come true.

"Mother Agnes, hug me! Love Gnes Mother hug me! ......," little Chloe shouted. For some reason, the child has loved the new mother since Agnes got married.

Agnes bent down to pick him up, but suddenly remembered that her clothes were wet, and hurried to stop him.

Little Chloe yelled dissatisfied.

"Don't make a fuss, kid!" Christoya's words made little Chloe immediately quiet down: "Sister, you go to the shower and change your clothes first, Asuna is ready for you." ”

"Thank you, sister!" Agnes smiled in response.

She went upstairs, and there was a large wooden barrel in the bedroom, and it was misty. She reached out and touched the water to see that the water was just right, and hurriedly took off the priest's white robe and lining, and stepped into the bucket.

After standing in front of the temple for a day, it is impossible to say that you are not tired. The right temperature of the water moisturized her skin and made her feel drowsy.

At this moment, a pair of strong arms came from behind.

She was startled at first, then relaxed again, who else but her husband!

"Egnes, you've worked hard!" Davers said softly, the heat in her mouth spraying softly on her earlobe, making her itch slightly.

"Here, let me see!" There was a urgency in Davers's gentle voice. He put his hands on her arms and easily pulled her to her feet.

Agnes subconsciously crosses her chest with her left hand and covers her bottom with her right hand.

Davers gently opened her hands, and her eyes gradually burned with flames, burning every inch of her skin, making her shudder a little.

"Egnes, my wife, you are as beautiful as Hera!" Davers exclaimed excitedly.

Agnes suddenly smiled slyly and poured the bucket of water on Davers, "Happy Marriage Day!" ”

Seeing Davers's pretended embarrassment, she couldn't help but laugh again, and her trembling delicate body added to the temptation.

"Wow, I'm going to punish you!" Davers said "viciously", picked her up, and gently placed her on the bed.

With Agnes' eyes both nervous and expectant, Davers ripped off Bolton from himself and leaned down towards her.

"My Hera! ......" he whispered, kissing her delicate lips......

If Nick Stratus had some doubts about the rumors of Dionia's superb medical skills, after a day of medical forum exchanges, he was convinced.
