For the prosperity of Sparta! For the glory of the god of war! (――Ask for a recommendation ticket!) ）

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Three months, if the white horse passes through the gap, it is all of a sudden.

The elevated aqueduct and the Temple of the God of War were completed at the same time. Let Aaron's eyes suddenly open up, and a prosperous Sparta will unfold in his eyes.

Most of the living facilities are completed, and the various buildings are arranged in an orderly manner throughout the territory.

"Spartan dwellings, 9 stars of loyalty, 8 stars of population happiness, 7 stars of sanitation, and 6 stars of public security...... Towns reach the stage of primary prosperity. ”

"Temple Upgrade - The temple of Ares, the Greek god of war, has been completed, increasing morale in the territory by 200 points."

"Uria, Architect, skill proficiency level increased to level 9."

Witness the morale in the province soar from 100 to 200 at once. This not only means that the combat effectiveness of the Spartan warriors has risen to another level. In addition, all production in the territory is doubled in efficiency.

The freemen showed their loyalty by working more diligently. As long as the slave Helot was fed, he would work harder. Secretly aware of the subtle changes taking place within the territory, Aaron ignored the data in his head.

It seems that the whole temple building is like a forest of columns, giving people a sense of solemnity, tranquility and harmony.

Aaron walked over to the newly completed Temple of the God of War and looked up to see that the rectangular temple was surrounded by colonnades. The temple is surrounded on three sides by two rows of 160 huge columns, each 10 meters high, supporting the massive roof above.

Only the upper part of the shrine in the center of the temple is not roofed. So that people can also look up at the blue sky inside the temple, and their hearts and souls can also reach the sky from here and be with the god of war.

As his gaze moved, Aaron also saw that the lower part of the marble column was carved in relief of various figures. The shape is beautiful, the form is realistic, and it is lifelike. On the edge of the frame, there is also a relief carving of a four-wheeled chariot, which is delicate and exquisite, and exquisite.

"There seems to be a group of skilled sculptors and artists in Sparta."

Under Aaron's gaze, the Spartan elders led a group of Spartan elders in white robes and nodded to Aaron.

An unexpected discovery: Spartans over sixty years old and retired from the army, old people with enough prestige will become Spartan elders, and most of the rest will become artists and sculptors.

……

The completion of the elevated aqueduct not only provided a continuous supply of clean water in the territory, but also added a holy color to the Temple of the God of War.

The pillars around the temple are surrounded by water jets in the shape of a lion's head. Clear water pools longer than two meters can also be found everywhere. All of this makes the Temple of the God of War the highest level of architectural excellence in Sparta.

The general style of Greek temple architecture is solemn and elegant, with harmony, magnificence, and sublime beauty, giving people a sense of solemnity and grandeur. And, just as Aaron had predicted, the statue of Ares, the god of war, made of pure gold, stood there, subverting the previous sense of sight and bringing more glory to Sparta!

Relying on the temple of the god of war as the background, Aaron scanned many subjects and smiled encouragingly, "For the prosperity of Sparta!" For the glory of the god of war! ”

As soon as Aaron's words fell, the Spartan heavy helmet beside him couldn't wait to raise the spear in his hand and cheered in a roaring voice, "Rejoice, Spartan, salute my king, salute Ares, the god of war!" ”

"The glory of Ares, the god of war, is infinite, and there is no god in heaven and on earth that can be compared!"

"The glory of the king of Sparta shines, he is a great king!"

Witnessing the cheering, uplifting crowd reminded Aaron of an allusion to a long, long time ago, a group of people, holding crude stone tools and tying a girdle sewn from animal skins.

Looking at the world with the curious eyes of a newborn baby. In the vast wilderness of the earth, in front of the vast sea, under the infinite mysterious starry sky, they are confused by their own insignificance and insignificance.

The grass and trees withered, the birth, the old, the sick and the dead, the moon runs...... They are afraid of the invisible but unstoppable power, and a sense of fatalism arises.

Fate is always incomprehensible and inescapable, making people blind.

Because of the belief in the existence of God, people feel the warmth of shelter and light, and the dark and cold souls are redeemed.

So, with great gratitude, fate was covered with piety and worship.

"Praise be to Ares, who is our rock, our city, our God, our rock, and our refuge. He is the shield of the Spartans, the spear that stretches forward, the tower that looks down on everything. It's the spirit of war that all the Spartans have gathered! ”

If you want to become the much-anticipated goddess of war, there are many conditions to meet. First of all, she must be a symbol of beauty, able to infect everyone present with a very magnetic voice when reciting and praying during the ceremony.

Apparently, Nosica did just that.

In the past, she lived a Spartan and frugal life, and her words and deeds were in line with the image of a divine servant.

As an affirmation and reward, today, she will be officially crowned as a god of war sacrifice.

The corolla of wild olive branches, the texture of which is today replaced by gold.

"Congratulations Nosica, through the selection, you have become a servant of the gods. By progressing, you become the glorious Priestess of the God of War! ”

A pair of small silver eyes, sometimes particularly eye-catching, but these eyes can speak, and it always reminds Nosica. This is the 'son of the god of war', and this is the king of Sparta.

When the golden corolla fell, Nosica bowed her head slightly, revealing infinite brilliance and longing between her soft eyebrows......

"Praise the God of War sacrifice, the messenger left by the God of War in the world!" In the queue behind him, there was a crisp girl's voice. Among them, there are special holy flame bearers, holy shield bearers, holy spear bearers, water bottle bearers, etc., and most of them are pure and beautiful maidens.

For these pure maidens, this is an honor, meaning that they will have the opportunity to be chosen to become a divine servant of the temple.

……

"The Temple of the Spartan God of War, sacrifice 1/1, priest 0/5. The fervent belief of the people excites the god of war. 1 star sacrifice Nosica, her holiness, her call to faith, will be recognized by the god of war. ”

"Blessed should be the god of war! Because he will shelter Sparta, exhaust his divine power, tear the space, and give Sparta a trade across space! ”

With these data, Nosica wore a gold garland on her head, her hands solemnly placed on her chest, and for a moment, the god of war sacrificed to Nosica, revealing only the whites of her eyes in her pupils.

"God-given trade has come! My King! ”

Looking directly into Nosica's strange eyes, Aaron was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, a golden sound made the skin on Nosica's face shrink, and her lips closed tightly, suppressing the cry that was about to be made.

Buzz――――――――

From the Temple of the God of War, there was a majestic sound. Rushing out of the forest of columns, a low metallic sound burst out, grimly shaking everything around it.

Even though he knew the prediction of 'God-given Trade' in advance, at this moment, Aaron still took a short and spasmodic breath, and his nerves were tense.

The sudden miracle made the noisy people scream, but the sound was deafening and drowned out everything, and it reverberated noisily, and hung low over Sparta.

In the era when civilization was just emerging, people, whether rich or poor, had a common spiritual pursuit, that is, faith and reverence for God. Witnessing the miracle with your own eyes, there will be a dampness in your eyes, and many people will tremble, faint in ecstasy, or be stuck to the ground with 'glue' and will not be able to get up.

But at least, Aaron won't. Because Ares, the god of war, - did not appear.

The only hint of tension faded, and Aaron remained calm, slowly adjusting his breathing. It's hard to say if it's a miracle, but it's at least a supernatural phenomenon.

At the same time, on the shores of the Dead Sea, the shadow of a huge ship swayed like a water monster caught in a school of fish.

On this land shoreline, there are many thin shadows of masts one or two inches long, and clusters of sails, like bunches of snow-white flowers shining in the blue sky.
