- Achidamus (King of Sparta)

Oscar had been in a state of extreme excitement as he returned to his bedroom from the barracks, as if he had seen himself leading the elite army of House Augustus through all enemies. Starting from Carthage, and then, as in the game, the more you fight, the stronger you get, the more you destroy the barbarians, sweep the four Luo, conquer the East, and build a super empire across Europe, Asia and Africa; Finally, he was crowned emperor and returned to the earth!

As soon as he thought of this, Oscar couldn't help but look in the mirror by himself in the bedroom, because he had to think about what kind of posture he should use to greet the cheers of all the people below when he was crowned?! Thinking about it, Oscar fell asleep in his own lust.

In the Star of Casa, the temple of the ancestors of Augustus, the butler of Calabes, who had been busy all day, not only did not feel tired, but became more enthusiastic. As a family of Carabes, who have been loyal to the House of Augustus for generations, he witnessed the enthronement of the old family when he was young; Now, he personally organizes the enthronement ceremony of the new head of the family.

For myself, this is not only an affirmation of myself and my family; It's still a great honor for yourself! A hundred years later, in the history of his own Calabes, he will still record that he was the leader of the great Augustus family who once presided over the enthronement ceremony of His Excellency!

Every time he thought of this, Carabes couldn't help but smile with a smile of relief; The requirements for servants are also becoming stricter. The old butler, who usually doesn't scold the servants, will scold the servants severely if there is anything wrong today. There was even a new low-ranking butler, Cachis, who was directly relegated to the rank of a lowly servant by the old butler because he sloppily knocked over a barrel of wine to be used tonight; In the past, the old butler would not scold the person who made a mistake at all, let alone punish him so severely.

Therefore, all the servants of the house of Augustus today are conscientiously doing everything they do; I didn't even dare to make a mistake, for fear of provoking the old housekeeper's scolding and punishment.

Little by little, the busy Augustan family began to quiet down, and all the preparations were almost over. At this moment, there is only one hour left before the enthronement ceremony of the new family leader; Then all the servants sat down in their places, and the old butler greeted the most distinguished guest of the evening at the door. The VIP hall of the Casa Star is now filled with fine wines and fine food, and it is also filled with servants ready to serve the distinguished guests.

At five o'clock in the evening, the first carriage arrived at the palace of Augustus, which was the carriage of Marcus Maxentius, consul of the Republic; The old butler hurried up to meet him, respectfully invited His Excellency Archon Marcus to enter the door, and then led the neatly dressed maid to the VIP hall. The second was the third son of the Julius family, Vibius Julius, the lieutenant general of the Bulls. Next up is the heir of the Brutus family, His Excellency Olus Brutus, Treasurer of the Republic. The fourth distinguished guest was of course a member of the Scipio family, the third son of the Scipio family, Gaius Scipio, the deputy general of the Boar Legion, who had recently been on a business trip in Rome, on behalf of the Scipio family.

After the representatives of the four families entered the VIP hall one after another, Carabes handed over the job of welcoming guests to his only son, Carabes Jr.; Not only because I have to accompany the guests myself, but also because it is a very good opportunity to exercise. The old butler hoped that his son would be better than himself, and that he would also become the great butler of the great House of Augustus; So, the rest of the welcome work should be handed over to little Karabes.

The old butler who returned to the VIP hall saw that the representatives of the four major families were talking to each other, so he immediately walked over and bowed to them without humility or arrogance, and said, "Honorable lords, the head of my family is making final preparations for tonight's enthronement ceremony, and it is inconvenient to come out to receive you; After the enthronement ceremony in the evening, the head of the family will personally apologize to the adults. ”

As soon as Old Calabes's words fell, His Excellency Archon Marcus said in a pleasant manner: "Don't be polite, old butler, we all know these procedures; You go and go about your business, we'll just be here ourselves. Today is a big day for your Augustus, so get busy. ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency the Consul of our Republic is really caring! Is it because the Augustus family has always supported your Maxentius family? Sure enough, it's a good ally! Gaius Scipio on the side saw Marcus talking like this, and immediately sarcastically said in a strange way.

The old butler saw that Marcus's face was flushed and ready to fight back, so he immediately opened his mouth to persuade: "You are all the most distinguished guests tonight, but, after all, today is a big day for our Augustus family, and I hope you can give our Augustus family a face, okay?" Aulus and Vibius on the side also played a round and said: "Today is the enthronement ceremony of the Oscars, everyone should put aside the past grievances, they are all pillars of the republic, don't show jokes to others." Gaius and Marcus snorted coldly at the same time, and stopped talking.

Old Carabes saw that more and more people were coming in the VIP hall, and that the main families of the republic, the main senators of the Senate, and some big businessmen who were friends with the Augustus family also came in one after another, so he slowly withdrew from the VIP hall and walked towards Oscar's bedroom.

Old Carabes, who came to the outside of Oscar's bedroom, knocked on the door when he found that there was no movement in the bedroom, but there was still no response from inside. When no one outside the old butler was about to leave, there was a sudden sound of hurried dressing from inside; The old butler knew, and Oscar slept again. Why use it? Because Oscar has been very lazy since he was a child and often oversleeps, the old man scolded Oscar more than once, but he still did not change Oscar's bad habit; Perhaps, this is the only bad habit of the new head of the family.

Thinking like this, the old butler asked the inside softly as before, "Eldest prince, do you need a maid to come and change your clothes?" "No need, I'll do it myself, you wait for me outside for a while." The answer as always made the old butler smile with a hint of remembrance. The former eldest young master has finally grown up, and he will soon inherit the position of head of the family; And I'm really old.

After about 20 minutes, the door to Oscar's bedroom finally opened, and Oscar, dressed in full clothes, walked out of the door to see old Carabes looking at him with a look of remembrance; He looked himself up and down, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he casually asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with me wearing this dress? The old housekeeper who found that he had lost his temper hurriedly said: "No, no, the eldest young master's clothes fit very well; It's also very temperamental to wear on the body of the eldest young master! Okay, it's not too early, the eldest young master should hurry up and go to the temple with me, all the VIPs who came to watch the ceremony are also here, just wait for the young master. ”

Without waiting for Oscar to speak, he turned and walked in the direction of the temple, and Oscar probably knew what he was thinking when he looked at old Carabes; He didn't say anything, just silently followed the old butler and walked towards the family temple.

The family temple of the House of Augustus felt a bit like a miniature version of the Pantheon, with the same domed-covered centralized form; It has a circular plan, a dome with a diameter of 23 meters and a height of 23 meters at the top. A circular hole with a diameter of 4 meters is opened in the center of the dome, which symbolizes a certain connection between the ancestors of the family and the family. From the hole into the circle, the soft diffuse light illuminates the empty interior, and there is a religious tranquility. The outside of the dome is covered with a layer of gilded copper tiles.

The portico of the temple is tall and majestic, but also ornate and flamboyant, representing the typical style of Roman architecture. It is 18 meters wide and has a rectangular colonnade on the front, which is 18 meters wide and 9 meters deep; There are 16 Corinthian stone pillars, divided into three rows, 8 in the front row, 4 in the middle and 4 in the back. The height of the column is 8 meters, and the base diameter is 1. 2 meters, machined from a single block of Egyptian grey granite. The capitals and bases are statues of white marble flowers and eaves, and the main doors, tiles, ceiling beams and slabs in the porch are made of copper and covered with gold leaf. The exterior walls are divided into three tiers, with the lower layer covered with white marble, the upper two layers plastered, and the third floor possibly decorated with thin pilasters. The lower two floors are walls, and the third layer encloses the lower part of the dome, so the dome is not fully represented.

The temple itself is also rectangular in shape with a circular plan, and the interior is a domed hall supported by eight massive arch pillars. The diameter of the dome is 23 meters, and the center has a 4-meter-diameter lighting eye, which becomes the only light entrance to the entire building. The hall is also 23 meters in diameter and height, and the walls around it are 6 meters thick. 2 meters, covered with huge bricks, but without windows and columns.

Looking at this magnificent building in front of him, Oscar was quite shocked; As someone who has never seen a pantheon in reality, it is enough to be jaw-dropping to see this miniature version of the Pantheon. When he arrived at the gate of the temple, the old butler stopped, looked at the guards in front of the temple, Oscar, and said: "Young master, only each family head and special family temple personnel can enter the family temple, and the old slave is waiting here for the young master to come out." “

Oscar looked at the expressionless family guard and nodded to the old butler, pushed open the temple gate alone, and walked into the temple.
