"Ah, Crassus, you know the news of my captivity, I don't know how happy I must be!" - Caesar's cry as a young man when he traveled to Asia and was captured by pirates

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Sacred Treasury is in the garden on the side of the temple - on the other side is the house of the virgins with fifty rooms, the dormitory, the good guys, two fountains, two cisterns, splendid statues, a dining room on the ground floor, and a garden with a walk and study, which are also large enough for the virgins. Calabis dripped the key, and walked into the Holy Curry, which was actually a large secluded circular hollow pavilion, in the middle of which was an open space overgrown with flowers and plants, with a canopy to shield from the sun and wind and rain, and was surrounded by rows of rooms, three floors, no less than twenty, and a single room was very small, and a bed in it took up half of the space. The other half is full of warehouses, locked, and labeled, treasures given to the gods by the Roman citizens, and a warehouse full of cabinets, which are said to have been made by dignitaries during their lifetimes. When the dignitary died, he was taken out by the consecrated woman and read it out in front of his family to show his authority and justice.

Here, Calabis sincerely felt the majesty and elegance of God. He felt that the whole person's soul had been purified and sublimated.

The task of Calabis was to take the keys every day, check the holy vessels, the tributes, and the cabinet of wills one by one, and then mark them on the parchment book, and after sending them to the temple, he could return to his own duty room, a table, a couch, and a small bookshelf, and rest in a daze.

It seems that the biggest feature of this work is that it is idle, so idle that it can no longer be idle, although the virgin over there is considered to be his own colleague, he cannot set foot in the house of the virgin at all, unless he is not afraid of being stoned to death by the Roman citizens. There was no communication with colleagues, and there was no creative labor, and it was almost suffocating, no wonder his predecessor washed his hands and ran out to go on an adventure in the East as a tax collector.

Karabis thought so, but he didn't think long before he saw a man in a knight's cloak hurrying in, "This is the Holy Vault" Calabis got up and just wanted to stop him, the man hurriedly threw down ten dinars of silver, and said, "Okay, quick, give me the key to one of the rooms." ”

"Huh?" Calabis was suspicious, and when the man saw Calabis like this, he became angry, and shouted why the guy was gone before and replaced with a new duck! Then he threw out five more dinars, and Calabis thought that he would not let him touch the warehouse over there anyway, so he accepted fifteen dinars and gave him the key to a small room.

The knight took the key, and went impatiently, and after a while a veiled and well-dressed woman hurried in, and asked Calabis softly if a knight with a garland had just come in and where the room he had purchased was, and Calabis pointed without asking anything. The woman bowed her head and hurried into the room.

Then, Calabis clearly heard a fierce oh, oh, oh oh sound coming from the room, and he trembled slightly as he held the keychain in his hand - "This Nima, this Nima, this Nima is what Lucuras and Claudia said, the benefits of the Keeper of the Hallows?!" ”

Before the ecstasy was finished, another fat man and woman came in, and threw to Calabis thirty drachmas, with a lot of money, and said that he would arrange a spacious room for us—Calabis smiled and handed him a key a foot long, the largest room.

After a while, two men came in! Also asked Calabis for the keys

At dusk, Calabis's eyes widened, and he fell on the couch in his room, swallowing a mouthful of spit, and remembering what he had gained as a holy treasurer today, renting out six rooms, and earning one hundred and forty-two silver coins, which should have been one hundred and fifty, and a fellow pretended to be eight copper coins mixed in it, and he did not recognize it.

The implication is that in a month, he will take three or four thousand drachmas, and the problem is not big at all

What a concept, no wonder Lucuras would recommend him for this position, what a great kindness! Thankfully, his brother Marcus liked me. Roman nobles and citizens cheated on each other, and actually liked to rent the temple's vault room, thinking that it was also a secluded and private place, and it was the only place to do this. Unexpectedly, on one side is the dusty holy fire virgin, and on the other side is the holy treasury that hides filth and dirt, is this the city of Rome, a shijie where two poles coexist?

Also, it's no wonder that the previous guy quit his job and went to work as a tax contractor, if he messes around here for three or five years, he can make 100,000 drachmas, and the nerd will continue to nest here.

It turns out that the Roman aristocracy is the main consumer force of the city, and their corrupt and debaucherous life has brought us free people, what opportunities and profits! Whether they raise pet fish or come to the Holy Treasury for a tryst to cheat, they are just spending a lot of money, and they didn't say anything.

In the apartment at night, Calabis woke up laughing several times, and Potty pinched his nose and asked him what he was laughing at. "Porty, starting tomorrow, you'll be in charge of procuring something for me." Calabis didn't answer, just asked.

One bazaar-day day, Calabis sat calmly behind the table in the duty room, and on the wall behind him hung a picture of the room of the Holy Treasury made of aspen boards, and there were rows of corresponding keys hanging below, and a pair of lovers looked left and right, and slowly walked in, and discharged seven or eight drachmas, and Calabis glanced at it, and thought that it was so little, so he handed them a key, and then painted a small pennant in chalk in the smallest room on the plan. Then another couple came, throwing twenty drachmas, and Calabis immediately drew pennants in the huge room that had been "transformed" from the warehouse on the floor plan, and watched each other leave with a smile.

A noble boy and a beautiful boy came, and after handing over the keys, Calabis whispered, "Do you want a lubricating plaster?" ”

The nobleman stayed for a moment and said yes.

"One bottle, plus two drachmas." Calabis took a bottle from the cupboard and handed it to the other party, and when Porti bought it, it was only a Sethreus.

A pair of young and beautiful men and women dressed as nobles came, and Calabis asked in a low voice, "Do you want a few sheep fat candles, there is a feeling of Cupid, the god of love, under the light circle." The pair of young men must have come to taste the sweet forbidden fruit in advance before they got married, so they nodded shyly, "Two Sesquires each, full of six branches, ten Sesces together." Add some olive oil, right? "Calabis skillfully took these things out of the cupboard, and when Porti bought them, they were only one of them.

A pair of young and beautiful ladies dressed as nobles came, and Calabis looked at them for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want a little Priaps with two heads, leather, with embossed ribs, which can be filled with warm water, and the rental price is not asked all day, two drachmas?" ”

"Hey, you guy, it's a copper coin, take it back! Get out of here, don't let my brother see you two here, or I'll let you taste my brother's fist. ”
