spartan ancestor

No one could understand the meaning of these gifts, but Hyacinths had a sense of leisure and elegance.After seeing off old Earl and the servants, he leaned against the bed and sorted the flowers, plants and rocks one by one.

Perhaps it was a sign of the dream. After waking up from the dream, he became interested in the scenery and things that he should have been tired of.

Just arranging the corolla, rubbing the dry or fresh petals with his fingers, and smelling the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, he spent his whole morning.

Hyacinthus lazily got up from the bed until Os knocked on the door to urge him to eat, and a thought popped up inadvertently: Maybe Aka should be invited to have breakfast as a thank you for these gifts?

He looked down at the piles of clothes and wreath stones, amused.

Those who knew knew that A-Ka left Sparta to escape. Those who didn't know saw this pile of things, and probably suspected that A-Ka went out to search for gifts for him.

Anyway, he appreciates it.

For this reason, Jacinto staggered out one piece of red from the pile of indistinguishable boundaries, and put it on before going out.

The Chamber of Commerce is located next to the market.

When Hyacinthus arrived, many hardworking businessmen had already entered and left here.

Before starting the transaction, they need to exchange the currency on hand into the silver coins that pass through Elis, register their goods one by one, and accept the inspection of the inspector, so as to facilitate the management of the market and the payment of taxes in the future.

Yacintos bypassed the businessmen in line, and recognized a familiar face among the guards at the gate at a glance: "What a coincidence, we meet again. Will you be here?"

"..." The expression of the young servant last night became a bit bitter, but he still replied, "Not here. In fact, last night's banquet was the last time I saw him."

Yacintos couldn't help raising his brows: "I thought, what he said last night 'both food, lodging and work are at the chamber of commerce' means that he can be found here at any time?"

The young servant put forward a fresh idea to solve the problem: "It may also be 'Once he goes out, no one can find him'?"

Hyacinthus: "..."

What a talent you are.

But it was true. Yacintos walked a few steps in front of the chamber of commerce, then turned and left.

Although A-Ka didn't tell him, but I also knew that A-Ka should be busy at the moment.Whether it's because of the Chamber of Commerce, or what I asked him to do last night.

Hyacinthus looked down at the clothes on his body, shook his head, and simply stopped thinking about it.

On the day he leaves Elis, Akka should come.At least send someone?

……should?

·

Hyacinthos didn't have much time to worry about "Why did Aka leave to go to work without telling me?" "Will he come to meet me before I leave".

The pre-booked itinerary for the dinner party was enough to keep him busy, and he couldn't even make it to his brother's game.

To be honest, he didn't have the heart to watch that game, it was nothing more than how Oss crushed his poor opponents.

After all, these players who can pay the training fee and the registration fee for participating in the competition are all nobles or big businessmen. They participate in the competition either to win fame or for interest. No one is like Oss, who is racing against death on the battlefield "Training".

Compared to watching such a game with such a disparity in strength, Jacintos would rather go back and spur the wild boar or Cleo, at least he can get happiness from the latter.

The five-day schedule ended in the blink of an eye, and Jacintos was also busy socializing with his heels hitting the back of his head, pre-leading the first official business line for Sparta.

Obviously, although Sparta did not encourage or even prohibit its people from engaging in business, the frontier people on the Spartan territory had very famous and superb handicraft skills.

The businessmen said that they are very willing to establish a stable business line for trial operation first, starting with trading with border residents.

In addition, the only thing worth mentioning in the past five days is that Ya Jia and the referee who wore silver coins were verified to have cheated, involved in gambling, and were knocked down in public during the game.

As punishment for cheating, referees were whipped and fined by their peers.In addition to severe fines and political penalties, all those who participated in cheating games were engraved on the statue of Zeus at the foot of the Temple of Olympia, and this shame will remain forever.

It can basically be said that the reputation of this group of people is rotten throughout the Mediterranean, and no one would want to have anything to do with this garbage.

Not to mention participating in the competition for the consul of Elis, it would be difficult for Yaga and his companions to gain a foothold here, and the millennium family would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The official competitions of the Olympic Games all ended on the fourth day.

Oss was unsurprisingly crowned pentathlon champion, but the crowning could not take place until day five.For this reason, Jacintos and Oss waited for another night. After attending the crowning ceremony during the day, they returned to the tavern as soon as possible, ready to go.

"Let's go now?" Old Earl stood at the door of the room, his whole face was full of struggle, he was thinking about whether to block the door with his body, "You guys are crazy! Tonight there are warriors dedicated to winning the laurels What about the grand celebration held! Guests from all city-states will participate, at least wait until the celebration is over before leaving?"

Jacintos smiled and hugged him: "It's not a good time, Earl. I promise, if everything goes well, we will stay until the end of the next Olympic Games."

Old Earle rolled his eyes wildly: "I care about what happens four years later? I don't know if I can live until then."

But he also knew that the two brothers had their own purpose in coming to Elis, so this knowledgeable old man just complained a few words before sending them to the gate of the Acropolis: "Remember your commitment... oh!"

"?" Jacintos followed the old Earl's line of sight.

Across the river that lies ahead, the opposite bank separated by a bridge.

A long snake formation composed of four-horse chariots is neatly arranged. The warriors hold the reins of the chariot tightly with their powerful hands. Gazing at it, the fine armor on his body reflected silver light.

This is a silent and solemn team, the only one not wearing armor is Aka sitting on the front horse.

He wandered outside the horrific team, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and stared loosely at the weeds on the side of the road. He didn't raise his eyes until he heard Old Earl's exclamation, and cast his heavy eyes on Hyacinthus.

Hyacinthus tilted his head.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but Aka didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

But this seems to be A-Ka's normal state, and after A-Ka's gaze stayed on the red clothes on Jacintos for a while, his originally gloomy eyes became brighter to the naked eye, obviously very satisfied with his own aesthetics.

Oss was instantly vigilant like a single mother with a baby: "Why is he here?! Didn't you let him go to the Temple of Poseidon? Yashin, is there something you didn't tell me?"

He could clearly remember that in the forest area of ​​Arcadia before, Hyacinthus shouted "Akka" several times in the early morning without opening his eyes.Isn't that a red flag?

Only then did Yacintos remember: "Oh, I've been too busy these days, I forgot to tell you." He said slowly, "Remember the Mercenary Association we were worried about before? It was established by Aka. The new The president is also him. See the soldiers behind him? That's the group of recruits under Alan's hands. Now he is a member of the Mercenary Association."

Yacintos didn't care whether Oss would suffer from indigestion when he dropped so much information at once, he ignored his brother's expression that suddenly became quite exciting, and drove his horse towards Aka: "I thought you would send someone to take When the armor and weapons are delivered, I will not show up."

But luckily not.I have to say that Yacintos really felt a lot more relaxed, and even had the leisure to start teasing Aka: "After all, I went to the chamber of commerce to look for you a few times before, but you were not there. If it weren't for those gifts, I would have almost died. I thought you were avoiding me on purpose."

"..." A-Ka raised his eyelids when he heard the words, took a quick look at him, and lowered his thick black eyelashes before the eyes met.

He stepped on the pedals, clamped the horse's belly with his straight and powerful legs, turned the horse's head, and walked on the road away from the city: "No."

"Really?" Yacintos didn't care about A-Ka's attitude. With A-Ka's usual style, it's normal to be bored to this degree.

He has always belonged to the person who can open a dyeing workshop if he is given three points of color. Even if he is not given color, he can find a stick to climb up by himself.

Seeing Aka's posture, knowing that the other party was probably going to go with him, Yacintos deliberately urged the horse, and moved to Aka's side, calling it a small talk, but it was actually funny: "If you don't tell me, how would I know?" I'm not a roundworm in your stomach. Why, the things that the President, who is busy with everything, is on the same road as us this time?"

The mercenaries driving the chariots full of armor and weapons in the rear made a commotion impatiently.

Although they received the training that made them completely reborn, the spirit of tuberculosis still persists in their hearts. At this time, if someone pays attention to their expressions, they will find that under the helmets, this group of seemingly silent soldiers have very colorful and exciting expressions. Wrestling with my gossip instinct.

However, neither Yacinthos nor Aka planned to pay attention to them.

The two horses walked side by side and snorted at each other, while Akka's black horse chewed the hair of Hyacinthus' bay horse.

Aka pulled the rein, and pulled the horse, which he didn't know whether he was hungry or hallucinating, away from the innocent and poor bay red horse, and the normal social distance between him and Yacintos was immediately opened: "Armor and weapons are the Chamber of Commerce. For the next business, the transportation of large quantities of weapons is easy to cause trouble, and it is normal to ask mercenaries to escort them."

He looked at the road ahead, and said in a calm tone, "The business line you negotiated with another merchant before also hired us to be responsible for the future security of the business line. Open it up once and for all, and establish a branch point near Sparta."

His expression and tone have always been cold, and when it comes to explaining, his attitude seems a little alienated, without any personal touch.

"Oh...Understood." Yacintos dragged his voice and nodded.

in conclusion.

That is, Aka, as the president of the mercenary association and chamber of commerce, is going to personally escort the armor and weapons, and personally undertake the security issues of Sparta's business lines in the future. By the way, he will personally lead the team to open a branch in Sparta.

Hmm... that's really alienating.
