Helps stood on the side of the bed, shook his head slightly at Davers with a serious expression.

Davers walked to the bed with heavy steps and stared at the skinny old man.

Heraclid had no reaction to Davers' arrival.

Davers held his right hand, and the hand covered with bones was covered with dust. Davers held it tightly without any mind, and said in a deep voice with sincerity: "Heracrid, thank you for your contribution to Dionya! Your name will be remembered by the people of Dionya forever!..."

Davers' words seemed to work, Heraclid slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually disappeared...

Helps came over, put his head on his chest, listened carefully, and then reached out to his nose to feel the breath. Finally, he shook his head and said softly, "He's gone..."

Soon, the entire courtyard was filled with people, and all the architects, craftsmen, sculptors, slaves... were all in grief.

Davers whispered in pain: "Elysees is welcoming you, Hades will give you shelter, you will be a guest of Pluto, and build a brilliant palace for his residence. Whether in the world or in the sky, the great name of Heraclide is circulated..."

Little Heraclid, crying beside him, listened to Davers' eulogy, wiped away his tears, and expressed his gratitude to the consul.

Davers kindly patted his shoulder to show comfort, and said, "The completion ceremony of the Hades Temple will be held the day after tomorrow. I need you to find the best sculptor immediately to make your father's bust in these two days. He will become the first person to enter the Sage Temple for the people to worship and admire."

This is a glorious event! Little Heraclid immediately stopped crying excitedly, thought for a while, turned around and said a few words to another sad man.

The man came over to salute Davers respectfully, and said excitedly: "My Lord Davers, my teacher is so respected by you. This is his honor! It is also the honor of all our builders and craftsmen! I will immediately find the best sculptor and will complete the production of the teacher's avatar within two days!"

"Piacikos, I heard Heraclid mention you many times." Davers nodded and encouraged him, "Heraclid is gone. As his best disciple, you must not only continue to carry forward the skills he has passed on, but also study new construction techniques and bring out more excellent students! Amendorala, Niutum, Grummentum, Crimesa, Asprestum... etc. In the future, there will be more cities waiting for you to re-plan and build them into a city as neat, practical and beautiful as Turiyi. I hope that when you get old in the future, you can enter the Sage Temple like your teacher!..."

What Davers said made Piascicos feel excited.

On the way back to the city, Davers called Presinus to listen to his sacrificial procedures and arrangements for the inauguration of the Hades Temple.

Finally, Presinus said: "All the celebrations now, including your ignition of the sacred fire, have been practiced many times to ensure that no major mistakes are made. There is only one problem that needs to be solved urgently, and we are still missing a priest who manages the temple."

According to the tradition of the aristocratic era, the consuls at that time had the right to sacrifice, so he also served as the high priest. Now, with Davers' power and prestige, not to mention that he was Hades' "goddess" and it has always been a natural thing to serve as the high priest, but the candidates for the priest who presided over the temple in daily life have made the Senate embarrassed.

Although Hades was also worshipped by people because of his death and darkness, there were almost no city-states to build a special temple for him. Therefore, he did not have any public priests. The Senate of Turiyi once proposed to invite believers of Eleusismith, which was once popular in Athens, which was opposed by everyone. Because Eleusismith recommended Pelsephone, the wife of the Pelsephone and the goddess of prolific deity Demeter, not Hades, but it was inappropriate to transfer the priests of other gods. The Senate has been controversial. Of course, this is also related to Daphne's never expressing his opinion.

At this time, Davers seemed to have not realized that he was the culprit of this problem. He did not directly respond to Prissinas's words, but instead looked at the Senate in front of him with interest, transforming from the enemy he first met into a political assistant who cooperated with him. The loyalty and unique talents he showed made him appreciate: "Plessenus, you have done a good job in presiding over the construction of the Temple of Hades. What are you going to do next?"

Presinas felt excited and thought that Davers was going to reward meritoriously, so he immediately said: "I want to run for the Supreme Inspector of Next Year!"

Davers nodded. Because he was walking, there was only a team of guards following him. After seeing him, the people of Turiy saluted him respectfully. Of course, he nodded to the people from time to time, and took the opportunity to say, "The woman who just gave the salutation was Lukari, she believed in Asinu, and this one was Thracian. The gods they believed in most should be Dionysus and Ares, and that one... You see, the citizens of Dionysia come from all over the Mediterranean, and they believed in hundreds of gods, and then followed Dai's

As the territory of Nia continues to expand, the race to become citizens of Dionia will also increase, and the number of gods in the Dionian Union will also increase. Although Dionia's powerful military power protects the lives and safety of citizens, advanced and elegant culture will increase the sense of belonging of citizens, here-" Davers pointed to his head and said with a solemn expression: "It's chaotic! Once Dionia encounters any major disaster, it will be difficult for the people to unite and overcome difficulties together. In that way, all our efforts will be in vain!"

From ancient times to the present, the Greeks have always believed in polytheism, so they rarely care about the beliefs of other races. Presinas did not expect Davers to say this religious issue so seriously, and he was wondering what was his intention to say this?

"Have you heard of the Jews?" Davers asked suddenly.

"It seems... it seems that someone has said that it is... it is a race in Persia who is good at doing business..." Presinas recalled hard. At this time, the Jews were not as good as the Jews under the peaceful rule of the Roman Empire hundreds of years later, where they could do business everywhere and settle everywhere, thus frequently clashing with the Greeks. Because the Western Mediterranean was controlled by two major ethnic groups that were good at doing business, the Greeks and the Carthaginians, the Jews had no foothold in the Western Mediterranean at all, so they were less known.

"The Jews not only know how to do business, they are also monotheistic religions and believe in the only God."

"The only god?!" Presinas couldn't believe his ears. Among the many kingdoms, city-states, and races in the Mediterranean, there was a race that believed in only one god.

"Yes, the Jews only believe in one God!" Daphs gave him a positive answer and said seriously: "The Jews were a weak race. They first lived in Egypt and were enslaved by Egyptian pharaohs. They lived in trouble until a Jewish hero Moses appeared and led the Jews out of Egypt after suffering hardships. After decades of wandering and bloody killing, they finally seized the land of Canaan and established their own country. But the good times did not last long. The Assyrians in the Mesopotamian Basin destroyed the Jewish Kingdom and escorted all the Jews to Babylon as slaves. It was not until the Persian king Cyrus destroyed Assyrians and released the Jews.

They returned home and rebuilt their own country and religion. During this century-long turbulent time in Asia, many other races that had been adjacent to the Jews and lived together had perished, and the Jews had survived hardships and survived tenaciously. Why? "Davs paused, gave Presinas a time to think, and then said in a deep voice: "Because they had a firm belief and worshiped the only God, so that they could always maintain unity, and did not lose themselves or forget the roots of their own race when facing other more brilliant racial civilizations!"

Presinas thought about what Davers said. He heard what Davers wanted to express and said hesitantly: "Sir, the Greeks believed in many gods, and the people of Dionia believed in more gods. These are traditions that have been passed down and rooted in our bloodlines! If... if... if they were forced to believe in a god, I'm afraid... they might be in big trouble!"

Seeing Prishinas' worried expression, Davers smiled and said, "Of course I wouldn't make such a stupid proposal, but we can take the initiative to guide the people and believe in Hades more, so that the people of Dionian from all places and races can be as close to each other in their souls as possible. Are you right?!"

"Sir, even if we build the Temple of Hades, the Greeks' habits will not change easily. When you go out to sea, you will pray to Poseidon first, and when you do business, you will ask Hermes, and when you work, you will sing the hymn of Demeter... The Greeks are very realistic. If you have any needs, you will pray to any god. It is impossible to just pray to Hades!" Presinas shook his head and said.

"People can pray to the gods, but I hope that Hadi is the temple that can calm their souls! This is why I built a temple of valvus, a temple of sages, and a prison of evil people in the Temple of Hadith, making Hadith the Temple of sacred places for the Dionian League to promote good and punish evil, and a sacred place for the people to pay tribute to and commemorate the heroes of the League! But that's not enough-" Davers raised his head and looked at the direction of the temple ahead.
