After leaving the market, Theos saw rows of stables set up on the roadside, and there was no longer the simplicity of the first time he saw it and the messy scene of the ground-flying horse manure.

Theos had a good impression of the old coachman, so he wanted to take his car and began to shout: "Soricos!Soricos!..."

"The old man is rich now and no longer drives himself. Take my car!" someone shouted.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful I'll beat you up!" Soricos, who heard the sound, cursed with a smile.

Theos got on his carriage and told him where he was going.

"Oh, you're also going to see the land you want to rent?! There are so many people who have visited it recently!" Soricos said immediately.

Theos nodded and smiled, "I heard you have made a fortune?"

"I heard them nonsense, that is, after paying off the loan and interest of the carriage, I bought another carriage and rented it to a freelance man to use it. I believe that I will be able to pay off the loan again soon! Then buy another carriage... Sorix said confidently.

"Congratulations!" Theos praised: "I think you can become a carriage merchant in another year."

After hearing this, Soricos laughed.

"I remember you are a citizen of Dionia. The alliance should give you a 'place'. You come out to earn money. What should you do if the land is done? I heard that your alliance has an agricultural officer who specializes in supervising the land use of citizens." Thios asked curiously.

"I rented it to the free people to farm, and there will be no questions," Soricos replied.

He drove a carriage and got on the Amendora Avenue, Turiyi, which ran on the Sobari plain. There were many houses built in the fields of farmland.

It’s time to build villages soon! Theos thought: Xintuliyi is developing very rapidly and has begun to gradually restore its former prosperity, and is very different from the original one, and will even surpass the great Greek powerhouse of the past!

After the carriage crosses a wooden bridge of the Sobari River, it passes through grape plantations and winemaking workshops, which is a famous wine production area in Greater Greece.

After passing the Salachino River, you enter the territory of Amendora. The land you want to rent is on the edge of the avenue. It has been divided into pieces of land to rent with sticks. It is close to the avenue for easy transportation; it is close to the river to facilitate water for workshops; it is close to the forest, and there are trees to be harvested (of course, the Dionysian Union has strict regulations on cutting down trees). In addition, after the workshop is built on the rented land, a house can be built for themselves and employees to live in, so that they can rest during their business in Dionysian. There is a sea in front, a forest behind, a river on the side, and a highway for easy travel. It is also an ideal place to live! I believe that every Gentile merchant who wants to rent a land here has the idea of ​​building workshops and residences at the same time. Twenty years are enough for them to double their investment money, of course, the premise is that the Dionysian Union has always existed.

After Thoos was optimistic about several ideal plots, he wanted to find a hotel to stay in because the so-called "auction" would not be held tomorrow.

At this time, Soricos suggested: "You came today, and the arena in Turiyi was just built yesterday. To celebrate, the consul Davers announced, 'The four-city rugby competition will be held in the arena today and tomorrow!'. If you have time in the afternoon, you can go and have a look. I heard that it is very beautiful and more lively than the Olympia Games competition!"

"Rugby game?" Theos was both curious and puzzled.

"That was a game invented by Lord Davers. I heard that I got the divine enlightenment of Pluto!" Soricos said mysteriously.

"It's...it's...the two teams compete for a ball made of cowhide that looks like olives...well...and then score...oh, I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, people who have watched this game say it's very interesting and very good-looking! You'll know if you go and watch it."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look." Soricos' strong recommendation made Theos interested.

"Go to go in the afternoon because there are a lot of people. I heard that I can't get in if I go too late!" Soricos kindly reminded.

…………………………………

The arena is located east of the north city of Tuliyi, very close to the city pier and far from the main city area. The construction here is also considered to not affect the daily life of the people of Tuliyi.

The city guards, which are usually strictly inspected, are relatively relaxed today. As long as they do not carry weapons, they will basically give in after counting the number of people. However, if they exceed the specified number, they are prohibited from entering the city.

Because Theos came early, he was lucky to enter the city. On the way to the city, he also met Dick Poris, a Cretan businessman who was engaged in the olive oil business. He also watched the rugby game. He had watched one in the morning and was fascinated by this novel game. In his words, this is the best gift given to the Greeks by Pluto, and no game can match it!

This aroused Theos' interest even more.

When we arrived at the entrance of the arena, there were already a long queue. Although there were many people, we still abide by order under the supervision of a group of soldiers.

At this time, Dick Polis asked Theos to occupy the position, and went to a shop next to him with a "beer" sign and carried two cans of beer and two bags of dried fruit, and distributed half of it to Theos.

Thios thanked her embarrassedly and asked, "How much?"

Dick Poris said: "It is the arrangement of Goddess of Destiny to know you here and watch rugby games together! If you pay, you don't like to make friends with us Cretans!"

Theos had no choice but to accept that Dick Poris' generous and lively made him feel good. At the same time, he also noticed that many people went to buy beer, water and snacks.

Dick Poris told him: "Because the game is long, we watch the game in the sun, and we are prone to thirst and hungry. In addition, there are many spectators entering the venue. If you want to pee, you can't find a place. This one-" He raised the wine jar in his hand and smiled teasingly: "If you drink it, you can be used as a urinary..."

The guards at the entrance of the arena released a group of people in, and then put them in a while. When it was Dickpolis' turn, it was obvious that the arena was not full yet. The guards signaled that they could enter and follow the passage on his right hand, and there was an passage on his left hand, which they could not go, which led to the VIP seat, and almost all arenas were designed like this.

The Turiyi Arena is not too big. All the stone benches on the side of the field can sit at most about 4,000 people, but in fact, more than 4,500 people entered the field, and half of them were free people and Gentiles. Like other arenas, the outside of the field is a runway, but inside the track is a flat rectangular sand land, divided into multiple areas by dozens of white lines.

Dikepolis patiently explained the rules of the game to Theos and told him why the four-city rugby match was called: "The four cities are Amendolarah, Turiyi, Niutum and Laus. I heard from my friends in Dionys that this game was first played by the consul Davers as a military training program, starting from the mercenaries who became citizens of Amendolarah... Later, Turiyi and Amendolarah formed an alliance to conduct military training for Turiyi and preparatory citizens, which naturally allowed them to learn this game... Later, they seized Niutum, and the earliest Lucanian soldiers handed over this game to the Lucanians in Niutum... As for Laus, they sent a large amount of labor to build roads, with the Dionys as supervisors, and taught the Lausians to play this game after resting to prevent them from slacking off because they were too tired...

Maybe the Raussians were just starting to play, but they were not skilled and looked not very good in coordination, so they were against Turiyi in the morning, and Turiyi easily won. This afternoon it was Amendolara vs Niutum. I heard that the strength of the two sides was not much different, which was more interesting!”

"You know so much!" Theos said with emotion.

"I am interested in it, so I will naturally want to understand it." Diopolite said complacently: "I have been here for a long time and have met several citizens of the Dionian League as friends. One of them is the captain of their so-called legion, which he told me..."

"Why is there no Castellon?" A voice came from the side.

Dickpolis turned around and saw that some people were surrounded by them at some point.

"Maybe because they have little contact with the league citizens, they don't have the opportunity to learn..." Dickpolis shrugged: "However, I saw some Castellons watching the game at the venue this morning. I believe that after this four-city competition, it will be held next time, and it will probably become a five-city competition."

"Critites, you're right. We Castro will definitely participate next year!" someone shouted in the crowd.

"Yes, let's make suggestions to the council when we go back!" another person echoed.

Dickpollit winked at Theos and whispered: "Look, I'm right."

At this time, the bronze horn sounded and the athletes began to enter the field.

At this time, the participating players were no longer as simple as they were when playing rugby in the military camp. They all brought soft leather hats that could cover the entire head and neck, and thickened wool and linen leather. They were dyed red and blue to distinguish them. There were strange symbols on the back of the protective clothing (in fact, Arabic numerals, because Greek numerals were written in complexity and were not conducive to use) for the referee to identify the participating players.

As the players on both sides entered the field, strong and rhythmic drums sounded.

The Red Team immediately formed a neat square formation, and in line with the rhythm, danced to praise Ares when he won the battlefield with strong and powerful movements... The audience cheered enthusiastically.
