Achilles' boat was a narrow double-decker rowing boat with simple ramming, and in order to distinguish it, white sails were hung on it, and when Calabis's boat approached, he saw a general with a white horsehair on the spine of his helmet, and stretched out his hand on the deck to greet him, thinking that it should be Achilles, so he returned the salute and climbed up the gangway to the white-sailed boat.

"Your Excellency, please come with me." Achilles politely guided Calabis to the stern bridge (a square tower similar to a Roman ship), and Calabis was secretly wary at first, but there was nothing to be afraid of, Mithridates was a master of intrigues, but he was not enough to deal with his small legionary envoy at the cost of ruining his reputation.

In the bridge room, with its scattered curtains and curtains, and a cartography table, with a lot of dust on it, it seemed that the ship had been pulled out completely temporarily, and then Calabis was surprised to see that in the dimly lit corner of the room, a little man in a red cloak was sitting on a seat, without saying a word, and could not see his face clearly.

Even so, Calabis instantly recognized who the other party was, and he didn't speak, but wiped the drawing table and another chair, then sat down, and said this sentence for a long time: "You don't need to use any tricks, I have already handed over the command of the Acropolis to my subordinates before leaving." ”

The little figure, after a moment of silence, also said, "You went to Rome with that Potty, right?" Now how is she. ”

"She's fine, I have a son with her." After saying this, Calabis felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he thought that it was the princess who felt lonely and lonely. She always did. Sometimes it makes people feel pity. Sometimes it's annoying, sometimes it's even angry and disgusting.

Achilles didn't seem to have any intention of making peace, and after he sent the enemy's legion envoy in, he disappeared, and the entire bridge room was quiet, only the monotonous echo of the surrounding waves could be heard, "You don't have to look around, amphorae. Achilles has left the ship, and now this is my only territory. ”

Calabis shrugged, not understanding the meaning of Adiana's words.

He felt that the scene was a little dull, and he was not in much mood to continue to stay with this strange princess, so he stood up, and was about to open the window of the bridge room, but Adiana rushed up, trying to stop the amphora, and Calabis instinctively grabbed her wrist and shoved her to the drawing table. Adiana shouted and slammed into the table. The contents were scattered on the deck.

Although the window was not opened, in the dim light, Calabis still saw Adina's petite back stirring, as if crying secretly, he lit a lamp, and the orange soft light suddenly broke through the darkness, "Amphora, don't ......" Adiana's begging voice came in his ears.

In the light, under the maroon hair, the princess's face was obviously reduced, and there were still a few bruises on the corners of her mouth and cheeks, Calabis didn't say anything, and moved the lamp down, under the princess's cloak, the two little feet were bare, and there were no shoes, she was very nervous Calabis looked at her ankles, and quickly retracted and covered them with her cloak, and then she stepped back, and sat back on the seat again, with her eyebrows lowered.

"You were beaten by your father?" Calabis's tone was calm.

Adiana nodded.

"Expelled from?"

Adiana continued to nod.

"I think your father is a little late in doing these things, and he is not serious enough." Calabis set the lamp on the table, set up the glass cover on it, and sat down. Adiana looked up and saw that the amphora was full of stubble and his hair was unkempt, so she resumed her mean tone, "Calabis, you should have followed me at first, so that you could learn harp, etiquette, and literature, with a clean and elegant face, and a silk robe with rich frillines, look at you, you are now a pure Roman barbarian soldier." ”

"With you? Now, like you, become a defeated dog on a white sailing ship? Calabis's words were full of sarcasm and mockery, and he looked at Adiana with pleasure, "This is miserable, like that, I'm afraid I can't even cook barbecue, I can only become a beautiful plaything for you, zuihou as your funeral object, with you, sink into this bay." ”

"Don't say it, I'm here to talk to you!" Adiana also realized that she was at a disadvantage in the current situation, and hurriedly said.

"Joke, what capital can you have to make peace with me, say it!"

"I've calculated, your Acropolis is running out of food, and I'm familiar with the tactics and camping habits of the Bronze Shield Army, and I can help you get out of a desperate situation, amphora clay pot." Adiana subconsciously said this nickname, and Calabis raised his finger at her, indicating that he didn't like her title, Adiana hurriedly changed her words, "Legion envoy - you must consider this suggestion." ”

"Say please."

"Yes, please, please consider my suggestion." Adiana spoke, as if her strength had been exhausted, and her petite body wrapped in a cloak trembled, and her little face turned pale and blue, which was a sign of obvious hunger and over-hunger. Calabis shook his head, and got up again, Adiana thought he was leaving, so he no longer ignored his reserve, pounced, howled and hugged Calabis, "Yes, I have lost even my mother's little crown now, and I have nowhere to go, my father said to me, let me leave as much as I want, until I find someone to rely on, only you......" As she spoke, she pulled out the golden pendant and shook it in front of the two, "No, maybe, at this moment, I have discarded the dignity of the princess, and I should commit suicide with a tragic face, in the Calabi Palace, You've seen me after taking the poison, so let's do it again today, just ask you to be good enough to restrain my corpse. ”

"Okay, you're tired of playing this set!" Calabis grabbed her wrist and ripped off her gold pendant, "That's how you behaved in Xiaoya back then, you treated everyone else as your pawn, just like that Jew, that's why I ended up together with Porty, you're right, I should be honest, but I don't just possess her body, I also love her strength and kindness!" ”

"She won't be your wife after all!" Adiana shouted with all her strength, and then held Calabis's face in her hand, "I, I am willing to be your wife, as long as you give up Roman citizenship, how about we settle in this city?" Pompey will not hurt me, we will ride together on a veiled yacht in the summer, we can hunt in the snowy forest in the winter, and I will bear you children, like all Roman women, three children for you. ”

Calabis glanced at the other party and replied, "Who cares?" Then he pushed the weeping princess away, turned and walked outside.

"Amphora!" The princess had tears in her eyes.

"I'll go to the bilge and get something to eat!" Calabis said with some irritation. (To be continued......)
