The two were moved by what Daves said in his letter that "a grand and unique sports meeting will be held" and came.

In order to show respect for them, Daves invited them to the royal stand.

As soon as the two came in, they were attracted by the band entering the arena.

"What is the name of this music? It sounds very good." Xenophon, like many Dionian allied audiences, was moved by this light and powerful melody and asked curiously.

Davers did not answer, and Plato took over: "March of the March", this is a piece that must be played during the march of the Dionian army. It was composed by King Davers.

Xenophon was surprised: "I didn't expect Davers that you still have this talent!"

Xenophon was still used to using the ordinary appellation in Persia when he talked to Daves in private, and Daves never cared. At this moment, he humblely said: "These are all from the great Hades. Enlightenment, it is the royal palace musicians' credit to complete them in the end."

"The tune is very good! But how is it possible to bring so many different instruments and so many musicians together to play such a harmonious and beautiful melody instead of creating a chaotic and noisy sound?!"

Not only Xenophon was surprised, but the Greek people in the audience were almost surprised, because traditional Greek music is mostly played by a single instrument, occasionally in ensemble, and it is also performed between a few instruments and a few musicians. With such a huge band and so many instruments (some of the instruments come from other races, and the Greeks don’t know them) to perform together in a grand ensemble, it is completely beyond their knowledge of music, and they are all curious: Dionians are How to control such a huge band and let it emit a grand, heavy and layered melody?

"Do you know Ferosanus?" Plato asked Xenophon.

"Of course I know that I was once a music poet in Syracuse..." Xenophon hesitated for a moment, and did not continue.

Ferrosanus is quite original in the format and melody of musical poems, so he has a lot of fame in Greece. He has also published poems at sports games in Greece. After he joined Dionia, he made greater breakthroughs in musical poetry, but because his poems contain chapters praising Hades and King Daves, he has been publicly condemned by several priests of the Holy Land. Not to be seen by the senior leaders of the Greek city-states, but many Greek scholars cherished his poems in private and experienced the improvements in the format and rhyme of music poems.

“Ferrosanus is a teacher at the Faculty of Arts of Dionian College. In addition to teaching students how to write poems, he is also studying how to make different instruments play a harmonious melody. I have seen him organize The students play music as they are now, you see, the old man standing at the front of the band is Ferrosanus!"

The reason why Plato is so familiar with Ferrosanus is that after he was expelled by the Athenians in the Greek War, he took the students to Turei, accepted Daves’ invitation, and served as Dior within a short time. The teacher of Niya Academy, in his time outside of teaching, he also earnestly visited other teachers and students to study the operating mechanism of the whole academy, hoping to learn from it and improve the teaching of Akademi Academy.

At this time, the band had circled the field and entered the center of the field near the royal grandstand to line up, but the music continued.

"It turned out to be so." Although Xenophon also treasures the poems of Ferrosanus, he has never seen him. He stared at the old man in front of the band who kept pointing with a stick and suddenly realized it. Said: "If you want such a huge band to play a harmonious melody, you need a commander, just like an army commander, who is responsible for arranging troops and arranging who will attack first and who will attack later. Use the strength of the soldiers to win..."

Xenophon is worthy of being a scholar of both civil and military skills who wrote "On the Cavalry", using war as a metaphor. But the orchestra conductor is not so simple to be able to take up the role. Ferrosanus has studied for so many years and has only achieved little success... But Dafus is not prepared to explain more to sweep Xenophon's interest.

Although Olympia did not send priests to participate in the training and selection of the referee team of the Dionian Games, but because Dionian promised that the Games would not specifically sacrifice for Hades, Olympia still accepted the invitation and sent a priest. As a representative, come to watch the sports meeting.

The priest of Olympia, Persias, sat on the VIP table with a critical and prudential attitude. When other VIPs were surprised by the grandeur and excitement of Hades’s main arena and moved by the band’s performance, he was moved by it. Sneer: The games are the Greeks' respect for the gods and their love for sports. These grandstanding things are useless!

At this time, he heard the host's shout: "Next, please enter the referee team of this Games!"

He immediately cheered up.

The band's performance has also changed from "March March" to "Song Hades".

Accompanied by a quiet and solemn melody, more than 200 priests in white robes entered the arena in loose columns. Walking in the forefront was a teenager from Turiyi School. He held the engraved " Wooden sign with the words "Jury".

Behind the young man was an old priest with a pretty smile. When he looked towards the audience, the Dionian audience in the stadium suddenly became excited: "It's the priest of Cardias!!!"

10 years ago, Cardias was transferred back to Turíy to serve as a priest in charge because of his outstanding missionary achievements in Rome. In recent years, Plesinas has taken the entire Turíy region because of his age and lack of energy. He took over the affairs of the Temple of Hades, and Plessinas also recommended him as his successor. With Davers's consent, he would be promoted to the priest of the scepter at the end of the year.

At this time, as the chief referee of the entire referee team, he walked in front of the team.

As the referee team moved forward, the Dionian audience sang the chants of the gods loudly, because more and more temple priests were recognized by the people outside the court.

The Greek audience was surprised by the fact that there were many priests in the referees who were obviously different from the Greeks. Through the singing of the nearby Dionian audience, they learned that these aliens were partly from the Temple of Hades and partly from the temple of Hades. Other foreign temples, such as the Temple of Suwanee in Samore, the Temple of Maharaja in Bruti, the Temple of Balhamun in Carthage, the Temple of Diana in Rome...

Although Olympia also received a notice from Dionia about "the priests of various temples form a referee group", at this moment Persias saw so many priests of different gods and different races walking so quietly and obediently. In the same team, I couldn't help but breathe in my heart, and suddenly felt a trace of isolation and anxiety: weren't we the only Olympia and Delphi priests who didn't participate? !

At this moment, he suddenly heard a Dionian veteran next to him say in surprise: "The young man holding the sign seems to be Christod, the grandson of Majesty Daves?"

"It doesn't seem to be, he is! My youngest son is classmates with him. This time he was not selected to participate in the opening ceremony of the sports meet. He cried with me when he returned home.

...

The hot discussion of the Dionian officials on the VIP table naturally attracted the attention of the Greek city-state envoys. After Dionian became the overlord of the Greek world, they certainly had a detailed understanding of the Dionian royal family: Hades Daves Christod, grandson of King Dionian Daves, son of Crown Prince Cloto Catacs, according to the eldest son inheritance system of the Dionian royal family, UU read www. uukanshu. com he is likely to become the next king.

In the early days of the establishment of Dionia, the royal family members of the generation of Cynthia and Klotokatax were enrolled in the Turíy Inner City School (the school was located on the easternmost part of the Krati River Delta, next to Dionia. At that time, the population of Turiyi was not very large. The children of the citizens of the inner city and the outer city were all enrolled in the school of the inner city of Turiyi, so most people of Turiyi knew the royal family members. By the time Christod was studying, because of the expansion of the population of Turiyi and the complete establishment of the royal family’s prestige, not only was it difficult for children in the outer city of Turiyi to enter the inner city school, but also when Christod was attending school there was a court. Guards protect, so it is normal that most of the Dionia audience did not recognize him when he first entered the field today.

When his identity is revealed and the eyes of thousands of viewers are focused on him, the young Christod will inevitably feel nervous. Fortunately, Calcidis has been calmly comforting him: "Child, Don't be afraid! The audience is not malicious, on the contrary they are happy for the successor of the Hades royal family. Listen, they are cheering for you! You should give them a smile and thank them!"

Christod's character is more like his father, and he was taught carefully by his grandma when he was very young, and he was very particular about dealing with people, so even though he was still a little nervous, he still held the wooden sign tightly. , Turned his head to squeeze a smile to the audience.

The audience cheered louder.

Soon, he walked to the front of the royal grandstand, and clearly saw his family members standing in front of the railing at the front of the stand: kind grandparents, gentle father, strict mother, gentle aunt (Cynthia ), the more lonely second uncle (Apox), the boyish uncle, the beautiful sister...all beckoning and smiling at him.
