Chapter 10 Alexson
Eunice and Aviya came to the Hill of Gods this time because Cristoya had a cold and was in a serious condition. Although she had been actively treated, it had been five or six days and had not completely recovered. Eunice hoped that her mother's illness would be cured soon, so she decided to ask Hades for blessing.
The main temple of Hades is being rebuilt. In order not to be disturbed, the priests have already informed the believers to try their best to worship other Hades temples in the outer city of Turiyi. However, in the past, Eunice always came to the main temple to pray for it several times when her parents were sick, and it was quite divine. Therefore, she stubbornly chose to come to the hills of the gods.
A group of people went up the mountain and immediately alarmed the priest of the scepter Plehinas.
The reconstruction of the main temple of Hades is the top priority of the kingdom, especially for Hades' priest group. Presinas stayed here almost every day on the construction site, supervised the construction process, helped coordinate and deal with some difficulties encountered, and even rejected many Senate meetings for this purpose.
After knowing the purpose of His Highness the two princesses, Presinas dared not be negligent and immediately arranged for the priests to manage the temporary temple for them to worship and pray.
After Eunice and Aviya prayed for their mother devoutly, Eunice was still in a state of interest and wanted to visit the entire construction site.
Presinus muttered to this request. King Davers only came once when the construction started, delivered a speech, and visited the construction site in the next few months, so he was not sure whether Unisse made the request due to Davers' instruction.
What's more, as far as he knew, Eunice was deeply favored by Davers, so he dared not neglect. He personally accompanied the two princesses to take them to visit and explain the entire project in detail to them.
Presinus served as the priest of Hades for more than 20 years. Not only did he be very eloquent, but his theological knowledge about Hades was extremely profound (most of which came from the compilation of the priests of Hades). Therefore, he made the boring temple construction process vivid and interesting, so that the princess and the guards could listen with relish.
In the mural drawing area, Aviya stopped for a long time and watched the painters use various mineral powders to make pigments, and then draw sketches of Elysée Paradise and the Underworld on the wooden board. Even under the instigation of Eunice, Aviya shyly picked up the brush and tried to draw some patterns, which was praised by Presinas and the painters.
The construction site is full of men's world. Two beautiful girls suddenly appeared, and their identities are so noble. Of course, they caused trouble among craftsmen and laborers. However, under the strict supervision of the foremen and the aura of the palace guards, they only dared to secretly peek at them, but they were even more motivated to do their work.
For Eunice and Avia, even though most of the men with upper body in their sight were naked, they did not feel any discomfort. They have seen many of Turi's various competitive competitions since childhood and have long been used to it.
The group chatted and laughed. After most of the construction site, Eunice suddenly stopped and asked, "Who is that person?"
There was a man on the steeper side of the cliff to the west of the top of Tianshen Mountain. He stood motionless like a statue.
Compared with the construction site where everyone is working hard, this person's behavior is too eye-catching, and even Yunis shows a look of dissatisfaction.
Presinas hurriedly explained: "His name is Alixon, he is a Tarantum native, not a craftsman or laborer involved in the construction of temples."
"Tarantum?" Eunice was a little confused and questioned: "The temple is being built here now, isn't it not for ordinary people to enter?"
Presinas explained patiently, "Your Highness, he is a candidate who signed up for the design of the statue of the mountain top and passed the initial examination. However, he made a request that he had never been to the Hill of Gods and hoped to go to the mountain to conduct field investigations and find inspiration to design a perfect statue of the mountain top... We did not agree at first, but he actually trespassed the palace and wanted to petition his Majesty, and was arrested by the guards as a gangster. As a result, after hearing this, His Majesty actually agreed to his request, so we had to allow him to enter. He had been here for two days, but he did not wander around and stayed there quietly most of the time."
The biggest difference between the reconstruction of the main temple of Hades this time is that a huge statue of Hades is erected on the hills before the temple, which not only allows the people in the entire city to see its majestic figure, but also the entire Subari plain, as well as the nearby mountains, ports, coasts, tourists, and pedestrians to see its light shining, thus demonstrating the supreme power of the patron saint of the Kingdom of Diony.
King Davers and the Senate required that the statue not only surpass the Athena Colossus in front of the Parthenon, but also to be extraordinary and outstanding in the artistic image design of the statue. Therefore, at the suggestion of Davers, the Temple of Hades and the Kingdom Sculptor Union jointly held an unprecedented selection competition. All the sculptors and painters in the kingdom can design the Colossus on the top of the mountain so that they can select the best and most perfect works.
However, the candidates must first pass two rounds of primary election assessment. The judges are all famous architects and painters in the Kingdom of Dionia, so 90% of the candidates were eliminated to avoid being a mess. This person was able to pass the primary election and obviously had a good ability.
After listening to Presinas' introduction, Eunice became interested and walked straight over. When she came to the man, she realized that he was a young man in his early 20s. He stretched out his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, and let the mountain wind blow his loose clothes, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"What are you doing?" Eunice asked curiously.
The young man still stood motionless as if he hadn't heard her speak.
Eunice was a little angry and said loudly, "Hey, I'm asking you!"
The young man named Alixon slowly turned his head and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm sorry, please don't disturb my thoughts. Also, please go away, you block the sunshine for me."
Eunice has been favored by her parents since she was a child, and no one has dared to talk to her in such a tone. She immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted sternly: "Hey, do you know who I am?"
Arixon didn't say anything, but waved his hands impatiently and signaled her to leave soon.
Eunice was really angry: "I am the daughter of King Davers. I order you to go out of the Hill of Gods immediately, otherwise I will let the guards drive you out!"
This time, Alixon looked at Eunice standing in front of him, but there was no fear on his face, but a serious expression, "I can stand here because of the will of King Davers. I was just wondering if it was His Majesty the King's order? Or your words worked?"
"You!..." Eunice's anger was put back by this sentence, and she really didn't know how to respond.
"Sister, it's time for us to go home!" Aviya gave Eunice a step in time. She immediately responded, and then said hatefully: "Your name is Arixon, I remember you, let's take a look!"
Alixon ignored her threat at all, turned his head and continued to quietly overlook the mountain.
Eunice stomped her feet hard and turned away.
After seeing off Eunice and his party, some of his subordinates asked uneasily: "Presinus Priest, the Tarantuman who humiliated our princess so much, do you want it?"
Prishinas shook his head and said, "That's just a farce among young people, don't worry about him. As loyal believers of Hades, we should have a broad and kind mind, otherwise how can we convince the people."
"You are right, I am wrong." The priest immediately admitted his mistake.
Presinas rubbed his forehead and said, "I'll go and rest for a while. When Lord Heraclid arrives (the Creation Minister of the Kingdom), I will immediately tell me that I will also inspect the progress of the entire project with him."
"yes."

Davers ended today's political affairs early, hurriedly left the palace, rushed back to the mansion on the mountain, and then came to Cristoya's bedroom, and asked with concern: "How is it? Are you getting better today?"
Cristoya, who was lying on the bed, has not spoken yet. In order to take care of her these days, Agenis, who has not gone to the Temple of Hera, said, "Helps came here again just now and treated her sister, saying that her physical condition is much better than before, and she should be cured in two or three days."
"That's great!" Davers sat down beside the bed, stroked Cristoya's hand, and said seriously: "The weather is very good during this period. I suggest you, let the maids support you, go to the garden for more walks and bask in the sun, and get better faster."
Cristoya glanced at him, pulled her hand back suddenly, then turned around and lamented, "Don't worry about me, I can't get it. Let Persephone take me to Elysee!"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense-" Agent quickly advised her, Davers waved her hand secretly, signaling her not to worry, and then said, "Croto is busy with politics now, and you are not seriously ill, so I didn't ask him to come back-"
"Oh, I can't..." Christoya immediately lamented again.
"However, he agreed to send Chris back." Davers's next words made Cristoya's lament abruptly come to an end, and she suddenly turned around: "Really?!"
Davers smiled awkwardly: "You are cured now?"
Cristoya hit him and asked anxiously: "Is it true?"
"The king has no jokes." Davers said with a smile: "I guess our good grandson will be home the day after tomorrow."
