When Asisters found Izam, he and his wife were already covered in dust. Of course, Izam knew Asisters and knew that he was the clerk of the "magical consul" Davers. Because he often went to the team to convey Davers' orders, many people were familiar with him, so As Asisters stood on the gang and shouted, Izam immediately threw down the farm tools and ran over.

Ascesters looked at the maverick Dukeya and couldn't help but feel funny: "I said to Yizam, why are you doing farm work so hard? You still have your own wife?!"

"In two days, we will conduct the first military training of the city-state. I heard that this training is very strict, and after the training, the consul will teach everyone to play an interesting game! I have to finish the farm work quickly and devote myself to the training." Yizam said, wiping the sweat with a sweaty short lining.

Ascesters said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's not bad. You're already very decent when doing farm work, and you're more like Greeks than us Greeks!"

Izam laughed and regarded Asistes' words as praise: "It's easy to work, but it's more troublesome to get water. I have to waste a slave, a specialty to carry water!" he complained.

"I heard that Lord Davers asked Alexis to summon carpenters to discuss the construction of what 'water wheel', and after it is completed, it can be placed by the river, so that the water of the Sinni River can flow directly into a field like you." Ascesters said in a low voice.

"Oh, there's such a magical thing! What does that 'water wheel' look like?!" Izam asked curiously.

"I heard from Lord Davers that it looks roughly like a wheel. You can ask Lord Davers what it looks like." Ascesters shrugged, saying that he was not very clear about it.

"How dare I ask the consul!" Izam said in awe. When he first served as a guide for the mercenary, he often saw Davers. At that time, he was curious about this person who could become the leader of the mercenary at such a young age. However, as the mercenaries led by Davers won again and again, the weight in his heart became heavier. In addition, there were always rumors that "Deves is the blood of Hades left on earth." This made Izam, a man who was more ignorant and worshipped the gods, look at the young leader in awe. In Byzantine, when Davers called on mercenaries to follow him to Great Greece, even thousands of miles away from his hometown, Izam followed him without hesitation, because he firmly believed that following the "Son of God" would never suffer any loss.

"Now you have a chance, Lord Davers wants to see you." Assisters smiled.

"Really?!" Izam asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true! Do I dare to joke with you with the name of Lord Davers!" As soon as Yassus finished speaking, Izam cheered without wiping his face or slapping his gray. He shouted to his wife in Lucanian language, and then ran towards the city of Amendolar.

…………………………

"Izam, we're meeting again! I heard that the Senate also distributed you a house and land, and married a wife. How are you doing? Are you still used to it? Do you cry because you miss your hometown?..."

As soon as they met, Davers greeted Izam with concern, which made him relaxed with anxiety. He excitedly told Davers about his experience during this period. Davers listened carefully and finally said: "Look, Greeks, Dukes, and Lucans can live together well, like a big family, right?"

"Yes, Lord Consul!" Izam said with courage: "As far as I know, many teammates who have married Lucanian women say they have found a good wife. Although they are not very good at speaking Greek, they do not know how to weave cloth, make bread, and direct slaves to work... But they are all studying hard and can take the initiative to help their husbands do heavy work. Moreover, their way of expressing their feelings is very enthusiastic, and they dare to try various things with their husbands at night..."

Izam said later, although it was a bit vulgar, Davers laughed: "Yes, our Greek women are too traditional and conservative. Both sides should learn and communicate with each other!"

Seeing that Davers was so easy-going and brave, Izam said, "It's just that these Lucanian women miss their relatives very much. I hope their relatives can recover their freedom as soon as possible!"

Davers' happy expression remained unchanged. In fact, he was very happy to see such a situation: "Don't worry, the city-state did not abuse their relatives, and took good care of them. As long as they can comply with the agreement, they will be free after the deadline we stipulated, and as long as they perform well, the deadline will be shortened. You can go back and tell your wife and let her tell other Lucanian women. The city-state will arrange for them to meet with their relatives in a while!"

"I will, Lord Consul." Yizam nodded.

"I asked you to come today to ask if you would like to complete a task?" Davers finally got to the point. He looked at Izam and said in a deep voice: "We need to know the situation in the Lucania region, but now we don't know anything about what happened there. I need someone to sneak in there to find out the news. Yassitus recommended you to me."

"I'm willing to go!" Yizam replied without hesitation.

Davers didn't expect that he agreed so quickly, and reminded him again: "This is a very dangerous task, and it is even life-threatening. Do you no longer consider it?"

"I'm sure!" Although Izam yearned for the prosperity of the outside world, the strict regulations in the army always made him feel a little uncomfortable. He liked the feeling of running freely in the mountains and forests, quietly approaching the excitement of his prey. Now there is a good opportunity before him: "However, Lord Consul, please give me some time to prepare."

"Don't worry, you can make careful preparations. As long as you come back from Lucania successfully, I will set up a mountain reconnaissance team, with you as the captain. In addition, after you leave, I will also let Cristoya pay attention to the situation in your family and solve the difficulties in your family at any time!"

Davers' commitment and care made Izam both grateful and excited. He shouted: "Sir, don't worry! I will successfully explore the news of Lucania in the Qing Dynasty and come back smoothly! Please keep the position of the captain of the reconnaissance team for me!"

"Okay!" Davers likes confident subordinates. It was his consideration for setting up a reconnaissance team these days. After all, most of the mountains on the Apennine Peninsula have caused many restrictions on the reconnaissance cavalry. A mountain reconnaissance team that can easily cross mountains and ridges and lurk in observation will give greater help to the Amendolar army.

………………………………………

Bagule was leading his tribe to build warehouses and hotels for Amendorala, and they were divided into several groups: one was responsible for cutting down trees, one was responsible for grinding stones, and the other was responsible for tamping the foundation.

Some of the dozen craftsmen in the city-state were guiding Lukaria slaves to lay the foundation, while others were doing measurements.

Alexis and Heraclyde were supervising the progress of the project on the construction site while inspecting the drawings.

Heraclyde, an apprentice to the famous Greek engineering master Hippodalmos, when he was young, he followed his teacher to design and build the city of Turiyi. His greatest regret was that he failed to stay in Turiyi at that time, so he would be the first citizen of Turiyi. But he followed the teacher back to Athens again. After that, the political enemy of Bellicille accused Bellicille's mistress Aspacia of accepting bribes during the construction of the Parthenon. Hippodalmos was inexplicably involved. His teacher was imprisoned and he was expelled from Athens. He was disheartened and returned to his hometown. As a result, the Poloponnesian War broke out, his hometown fell into war, and life began to be difficult...

Twenty years later, he fled his wife and children to his hometown, which had been occupied by Sparta, and came to the relatively war-torn Greek land. He came to the relatively peaceful Greece, where he once contributed to it. But at this time, Turiyi was no longer Turiyi, who needed a large number of immigrants and talents when the city was just built. The city hall refused to accept that he was a citizen of the city state. Heraclyde, who had been penniless, had to come down at the port, and lived there for more than 20 years. During these 20 years, he had to rely on his children.

Others built houses and repaired city walls... They relied on their lives and gradually gained some fame and saved some money. However, he was still a free man who lived under the roof, living in a crowded and wet shack, without land and no status. At this time, he was old and his wife died of illness a few years ago. He no longer had much demands on life. The only regret was that his son Heraclyde was still young and had completely inherited his skills and should have a brighter future...

Just as he was worried about his child's future day and night, one day, a stranger walked into the simple wooden house he shared with others, because just a few days passed, he still clearly remembered the conversation at that time.

"Who is Heraclyde?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"I heard that you were an apprentice to Hippodalmos and had also practiced the city of Turiy?"

"Yes, this is the truth, I never lie."

"Then you are willing to accept the employment of Amendolar and supervise the construction of some projects, and pay 50 drachma silver coins a month."

“What kind of project is it?”

"I don't know much about this. When you go, Alexis, the surveillance officer of Amendolar, will tell you. At the same time, he also asked me to tell you, 'If you do a good job and are indeed very capable of building, he will recommend it to the consul Davers to make you a citizen of Amendolar'."

Immediately, he heard the envy of the people behind him.
