Chapter 19: The Sacrifice of Priapus (Part I)
"My dear little Calabis, what are you doing? At this time, you should stay by your master's side. ”
This sentence startled Calabis, and behind him, the old man Obisius appeared gloomily, followed by several tall armed slaves, "Are you trying to save the slave girl in the car?" ”
"No, it's not, I'm just going to the princess's car to see if I can find herbal pills to treat Bixia's injuries, those were given to me by a Hebrew friend of mine, and they work." Calabis was in a hurry and made a fool of himself.
Suddenly, Obisius's withered claws grabbed Calabis tightly, "Son, don't lie in front of me, you must have wanted to save that slave girl—look at her, with her wheat-colored skin and black hair, how beautiful and plump, if I were thirty years younger, I would be as impulsive as you." Then he made a "shh ”
"What conditions." Calabis knew what the old guy was going to say, but he pretended to be stupid. Obisius's withered claws tightened, and he was about to burst into tears, "Don't be stupid, little Calabis, you know - how did the royal sister Naisa die?" Tak Schiller and Pytuita may not come out to testify because of their identities, but you are different, you are Adina's personal slave, as long as you take a word as a testimony, you can do it. I can easily get that guy out of Porti, and I can give you freedom and enough money to start a family. ”
It seems that this old pig dog is trying to use my testimony to bring down Adiana. By the way, now that Naissa is also dead, the entire Mitra family, only Adiana and Stratonis are left with two rivals, once the Adiana East Window incident happens, then Stratonis will succeed, she will be able to monopolize the top of the Pontus court, and the heirs she will give birth to in the future will definitely inherit the empire.
"I don't know, I haven't even seen the dignity of Sister Naisa." Calabis replied calmly.
Obisius sighed regretfully, let go of Calabis, slapped his face twice, shed two tears, and said, "It seems that it is really a deep love between master and servant!" Naive child, do you think I have only one trick for Your Excellency the princess? You are, Sososo. He laughed dryly, "As long as I say a word, you will be castrated tomorrow, there is no god to save you, and I will inform Timosius that he will use a knife and saw very carefully to castrate you beautifully, but well, the operation may be successful, but whether the patient can survive or not is another matter, Soso" Obisius laughed happily, and then suddenly burst into a lot of tears, dangling his hands and running towards Mithridaths's stretcher, crying "My Bixia".
Looking at his back, Calabis felt a chill in his crotch.
"The Emperor's blood has been stopped!" Several doctors announced in a panic as they wiped the sweat from their foreheads with bloody hands.
The attendants, royals, and generals around them all breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated each other, but Mithridates had not yet woken up, and the severe pain made him faint for a while.
"But this arrow cluster is poisonous, and the emperor still needs to detoxify." After wiping off the sweat, the doctors completed the second half of the sentence.
The people around him scolded again, "This is an unknown snake venom, smeared on the cluster of arrows, maybe it comes from the grassland area of the far sea." The doctor hurriedly explained, and Tucker Schiller picked up the doctor like a chicken and shouted: "Tell me quickly, whether the emperor is still saved, I will wait for him to announce who will be the commander of the army!" ”
"Go away, quacks." People turned their heads one after another, and it turned out to be the strange Timosius of the ancient times, holding his clay urn, the mouth was ajar, and a small blue snake poked out its head, sticking out its tongue leisurely, and everyone screamed when they saw this, and scattered away - everyone knew how poisonous the snake raised by Timosius was.
Timosius half-knelt beside Mithridathius, grabbed the little blue snake dexterously, one of the assistants turned pale, and handed over a glassware with trembling hands, Timosius pinched the snake's head, the little snake showed sharp teeth, and opened its mouth a little unwillingly, and the snake venom slowly dripped into the vessel, which was a transparent liquid like egg whites, and Timosius then applied the snake venom to Mithridates' wound.
"Timosius, will your snake venom kill Bixia!" Stratonis on the side shouted. When the people around heard Bixia's favorite concubine questioning this, they all responded.
Timosius rolled his eyes and shouted, "Then call the Romans to heal him!" At this time, Adiana hurriedly grabbed Timosius's arm and said, "As the princess, I beg you, not to be disturbed by any ignorant person, and to be bold in healing your father." Then she stood up, raised the bronze and gold-encrusted axe she wore at her waist, and shouted to the crowd: "If something happens to my father, I, Adiana, will inherit the command of the entire army!" ”
Finally, half a day passed, and Mithridatis. Yubert, who was already half-leaning on the throne to breathe, the corners of his eyebrows and eyelids were dark and blue, and he was oozing blood, although the poison had been removed, but the pain in his heart still made him grit his teeth and clench his fists, and the slaves around him were flowing endlessly, trembling, passing all kinds of things to the emperor of Pontus, they knew that a small negligence at this moment would add fuel to Mithridates' anger, and it would also bring catastrophe to themselves.
"A reward of gold and silver for Timothy two Talents, and, gentlemen, you are very wrong, because of my wounds, you have slackened off on the offensive against the Roman dog strongholds." Mithridates was covered with a towel to the wound by Stratonis and Obisius, father and daughter, chattering, "This nail of Rikdania must be removed as soon as possible, so that we can break into Cappadocia and Pontus without threat, so that I can soon collect the taxes of the city, organize an army with seventy or eighty thousand infantry, complete chariots and ships, and fight the Roman dogs." ”
Bituita came in and reported to the king of Pontus very heavily: "Bixia, the Roman reinforcements are coming. ”
This reinforcement was the main force of the Eighth Legion, nicknamed the "Unicorn", which had been stationed in the area of Sinop in advance, seven brigades, as well as artillery detachments and servant cavalry, numbering about 4,000.
"Damn! Damn it! Mithridates knocked over the basin of water, which gripped his wound even more, and his heart trembled and screamed as if it had been repeatedly slashed by a sharp blade.
"Perhaps, if you want to win, you must have God's favor." Obisius was on the side, taking the opportunity to say, "Now happens to be the time of sacrifice for the god Priaps, I think"
"Go on." Mithridates said, covering her wounds.
