Chapter 378: The Mission of Crotokatax

"Okay!" Crotokataks did not hesitate.

The two rushed to the Rome city lord's mansion and were soon received by Ascesters.

After hearing Pascien explain the reason, Ascestes's face darkened: "I thought you came to see me so late to tell me, 'The Creation Office has made all preparations to welcome tomorrow's celebration!' Unexpectedly, a big mistake happened!"

Ascesters angrily scolded: "Why didn't you find it before?! I'll say it when it's over! Tomorrow, not only our city hall officials, but also many Roman people went to Mars Square to celebrate. The matter is so big, how should we end it!"

Pascion's face turned pale and his lips were moving, but he didn't dare to speak, but he just looked at Clotokatax pitifully.

In the past, Yassites' impression of Clotokatax has always been gentle and amiable. This time, the important minister of the kingdom showed him his majesty. He gritted the bullet and said, "Sir--"

Yassus immediately interrupted him: "Crotokataks, don't talk. You just arrived at the construction site not long ago. This matter has nothing to do with you."

When Crotokatacs heard this, he knew that Ascesters was taking care of him and wanted to put him out of the matter, but because of this, he let him give up his concerns and express his thoughts: "Sir, as a low-level construction officer in the Rome Construction Department, I have been following Lord Pasion for more than two months and are responsible for supervising the construction of this stone bridge. If he had problems, I certainly have great responsibility!"

Yassus looked at Clotokataks, who was sincere and guilty, turned his head to look at the uneasy Passian, and was silent for a moment.

This silence made the visiting two people feel a little uneasy.

After a while, Ascesters spoke, "It's okay for the officials of the city hall to postpone the celebration for a few days. They will cooperate well, but the people of Rome and its surrounding towns rushed over and saw nothing, and were persuaded to go back... How much resentment would they have about the city hall?!"

Speaking of this, Ascestes couldn't help but increase his tone again. When he thought that since he became the chief executive of Rome, he had tried his best for several months, and finally made the trust and authority established by the town hall among the Roman people might have been destroyed because of this incident, so he felt so angry.

"Big... Sir..." Seeing that Yassus' tone was a little loose, Pascian immediately said nervously: "The tilt of the bridge piers is not visible to ordinary people. They see a complete stone bridge, but we will block both ends of the stone bridge and tell them, 'For the sake of beauty, the stone pillars on the bridge railings must be carved and cannot be passed for the time being...'"

"It seems that you have prepared for a long time. Do I want to send you some more engravers?!" Ascesters sneered and said in a deep voice: "Thousands of people came from afar and gathered on the Tiber River. You can only look at the stone bridge. You are not afraid that they will be resentful and cause riots!"

Passion was shocked and did not dare to answer the conversation.

After all, Crotokataks is young, flexible and quick to react. He suggested: "Sir, we Tuliyi are used to creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere in the New Year. Since the people will gather on the banks of the Tiber River next to Mars Square tomorrow, it is better for us to take the opportunity to hold the competition, which not only achieves the purpose of celebration, but also diverts the attention of the people."

"Game..." Ascesters' heart moved, pondered for a while, and waved his head: "Time is too tight, there is no time to prepare..."

"How about fishing? For a certain period of time, see who caught more fish, then ranked and give rewards..." Crotokataks immediately said. The reason why he could give advice so quickly was because in early spring, Davers would bring his family to the bank of the Clarti River under the King's Hill to conduct a family fishing competition. The atmosphere was very warm and happy, which made Crotokataks missed it very much. Although it was not yet early spring, the temperature had begun to slowly warm up, and the surface of the Tiber River was not frozen, so there was no problem with fishing.

Yasserz was somewhat moved by Crotokatax. After all, the preparation for the fishing competition is relatively simple. Everyone has a fishing rod and can sit by the river. It is more operational.

Yasserz looked at Pasion again and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure you can completely repair the stone bridge within 7 days?"

"Sir, I swear in the name of Hades, and I promise that in 7 days, the stone bridge will be completely built so that it can be used normally without any problems!"

"Because of this mistake, I will first record it in your grading file. If the bridge construction fails after 7 days, then your public office will be over!" Yassitus warned coldly.

Pascian repeatedly claimed that although a demerit in the performance exam would affect his promotion, he had at least been under the command of Ascesters, who was known for his strict demands. However, he knew that most of this was credited to Clotokataks, so he nodded to the Prince of Dionia and expressed his gratitude.

"You go back and prepare first. I will discuss tomorrow's fishing competition with Clotokatax." Yassitus raised his hand to drive people away. Pascian dared not stay for a long time, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

There were only two left in the living room, and Ascesters's face returned to normal. He sighed kindly: "Your Highness, you shouldn't have come tonight. Pascian pulled you together just to use your kindness to help him get rid of..."

"Uncle Yassites." Crotokataks said seriously: "I know Lord Passian's intention, but he is indeed very hardworking. Since taking on the heavy responsibility of building a stone bridge, he has been busy from morning to night every day. He has not seen him slacking off from the slightest slackness. He has also taken great care of me and taught me a lot step by step... For both public and private, I can't watch Lord Passian's future hindered by this mistake, because he is really devoted to his work and wants to build the stone bridge!"

"It is worthy of being called the 'kind prince' by the people. Your highness, you are still as sympathetic as before!" Ascesters praised and smiled: "Ten days ago, His Majesty wrote to me, how did you perform in Rome? I sued him and said, 'You are not paying attention to the image of Prince Dionys. The court guards complained many times that you refused their protection. They worked with the Roman and Latin citizens recruited from the Creation Office every day, learned their Latin language, and sometimes because they were too busy, they even bought food to add food to them at their own expense...'
