Prika, who returned to the city from the port court, seemed a little worried. If he followed his usual habits, he would definitely stay in the port market he passed by, because at dusk the market always filled with a carnival atmosphere, acrobatics, dances, magic tricks, and funny performances... Various entertainment programs attract tourists to stand and watch, while the vendors set up various exquisite and unique small handicrafts, or various foods that exuded fragrance, shouting and attracting customers... The port market from dusk to evening is the world of street artists and vendors, and it is also a good place for Tuliyi people to stroll around after dinner.

In the past, Prika would stop here, listen to the chanting of the bard, taste sea fish fried in olive oil, and buy some herb porridge with mint or thyme... But today, his pace kept squeezing out of the market.

In front of him were magnificent temple groups, from the original Temple of Hera, to the Temple of Hercules, the Temple of Apollo, and even the goddess of snow-capped mountains in Bruti, and the patron god of Lucania, Asinu, the people of Turiyi. This area is called the "land of gods" by the people of Turiyi. Even during the day, the temple is always bright and there are many believers (of course it is impossible to compare with the Temple of Hades). At dusk, most believers disperse and reappear the majesty and emptiness of the temple.

The chanting of the priests of the gods in the hall came from the thick stone walls and towering columns, and echoed in Pleka's ears, calming his mood a little, but he did not slow down. He only stopped when he passed the Temple of Hera, because he saw the pure white carriage and the fully armed court guards parked in front of the temple, and he knew that this was Princess Dionia, and the priest of the Temple of Hera, Agenice, was about to go home.

In order to show respect, he stood there, and many people were like him, watching the beautiful and kind princess smiled and waved to them, then got in the car and left.

Walking further north, you will enter the outer city of Turiyi. A foreign businessman who once came to Turiyi to do business said this: "The inner city and outer city of Turiyi are like nobles and civilians. One reflects elegance and order, the other shows liveliness and vitality. The two are so harmonious, and there is no conflict or contradiction..."

What this foreign merchant did not understand was that the formation of the city and outer city areas of Turiyan was not caused by differences in identity and status, but by different time when the people in the inner and outer city joined the kingdom.

The residents of the inner city all joined the Dionysian Alliance before the founding of the Kingdom. The residents of the outer city mainly joined after the founding of the Kingdom. Because the residents of the inner city joined during the founding of the alliance, they had more opportunities to participate in the governance of the alliance, obtain military achievements, and win rewards. Therefore, most of the citizens of the inner city are either veterans, kingdom officials, or army officers. Of course, they have also made great sacrifices for the survival and development of Dionys. So far, 1/6 of the citizens of the inner city have died in battle or been disabled.

Among the citizens of the outer city, there are also many veterans, most of whom joined after the founding of the kingdom. They come from southern Greece, eastern Sicily, and Apulia. There are also many citizens who have become senior officials and senior military officers of the kingdom through their own struggles. Prika is one of them. This makes many citizens who have just settled in the outer city, the preparatory citizens and the free people who are not jealous of those big names, but hope to become them through their own efforts.

In fact, the outer city is not chaotic. It is bound by the laws of the Dionian and the strict management of the inspection department. People who want to develop in the kingdom generally do not violate the law and create obstacles to their future. Therefore, the order of the outer city is better than that of many Greek city-states. However, there are too many residents and complex members. In addition to the kingdom citizens, free people, Greeks from other city-states, and other races from various places, it is difficult to manage and it is difficult to avoid some contradictions and conflicts. This is also a headache for Turiyi to be a judge, and the affairs are too complicated and trivial.

If Prika usually walks on the streets of the outer city, he likes to observe the people chatting on both sides of the road, to judge which are Dionysian citizens and foreigners, what professions they each engage in, where they come from, and what their personality characteristics are... This may be due to the judge's occupational disease.

In his long-term observation, he has summarized some experiences in identifying people, but when the Dionian people were with the Gentiles, they could tell them at a glance without thinking about it.

Because the citizens of Dionia are strong and walk wildly, this is because they often eat meat and conduct military training for many years. They always wear neat clothes when they go out and wear leather sandals on their feet. On the one hand, they obey the doctor's advice to prevent unnecessary injuries and colds (many Greek city-states people are barefoot); on the other hand, they can wear various medals on the Burton they wear, which becomes an important capital for them to attract respect and show off. In addition, they speak loudly, laugh loudly, and are optimistic by nature, and there seems to be no difficulty to stump them. This may be the demeanor of a citizen of a great country. Of course, their Greek language, which integrates multiple ethnic cultures in China, also makes it difficult for tourists from other Greek city-states to understand...

Prica's home is next to the Persephone Arena. It is almost March. Rugby matches in various cities in the Kingdom have begun. The fans' carnival festival has arrived. However, people living near the arena will inevitably be disturbed by noise during the day. Therefore, residential land near the arena is not favored and the prices are very low. However, for Prica, who has not long been a citizen of Dionia, he has no more choice.

When he got to the vicinity of his home, he had to stop again and again and greet the neighbors who took the initiative to greet him. It was not until this time that he left behind his worries and savored the respect his neighbors gave him: Yes, although he was a low-class family slave, through his own efforts, he had already become an apprentice judge of the kingdom. In the Kingdom of Dionia, where the country ruled by law, the judge was undoubtedly one of the kingdom public offices respected by ordinary people.

While passing the alley, he heard several neighbors who were incorporated into the Legion reserves talking happily about the "the army is about to go north to attack Latinum", which accelerated his pace of going home.

"You're back!" The wife came up and took Prika's shoulder bag.

Preca said "yes" and walked into the yard.

"Master!" Two slaves, one man and one woman, greeted him respectfully.

Prika nodded seriously and walked towards the main house. The reason why the place where he lived was not built into a two-story building was because he didn't have enough money when he got married. Later, he finally saved some money and planned to renovate it. But he met his wife's pregnancy. He was busy with business and had to buy a female slave to take care of him. Then he saved money to buy a male slave at the beginning of last year. He wanted to let him take charge of his own place, but the drought was delayed for more than half a year and almost didn't come in handy.

"Where is the child?" Prika asked with concern as she walked.

"Amyra took him out for an afternoon to play, and when she came back, she was sleepy. She drank some rice porridge and was asleep now." The wife said, and asked again, "Oh, the dinner has been done, can you eat it while it's hot?"

Prika nodded.

His wife, Kusniya, hurriedly directed the slave girl to bring the dinner to the table.

Prika looked down and saw that the dinner was pumpkin pea oatmeal porridge, and she also made a large jar, and her brows frowned. It was not that he raised his mouth, but that this thing had been eaten for a month in a row, and she was really tired of it.

Seeing that her husband was a little dissatisfied, Kusniya hurriedly said, "There are still some goat milk and cheese at home, why don't I go and bring it up?"

Prika knew that the goat's milk and cheese were kept for the children, so he waved his hand.

"How about I go to the market tomorrow to buy some wheat, grind it into flour, and make bread to eat?" Kusniya said again.

"The war is about to go again. The wheat on the market is not cheap now, so there is no need to spend that money. There are so many beans and pumpkins in the cellar that have not been eaten. If you don't eat it quickly, it will be broken." Preca said, sighing in his heart: the drought in half a year has almost consumed all his savings. If it weren't for the vegetables he harvested after replanting his own fields, he would have to borrow money from the bank and buy food. Now that there is food, it would be very good...

Thinking of this, he scooped up a large spoonful of sticky porridge and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Tell you good news. Today we have planted all the wheat in the field!" Kusniya said loudly in order to make her husband happy.

As a citizen of Dionia, Prika owns five acres of land. Compared with many old citizens, he has too little land, but it is definitely not easy to prepare these acres of land. Obviously, the male slave he bought played a great role, which further strengthened his decision.

"Kusniya, there is something I want to tell you." Preka looked up at his wife and said solemnly: "I decided to follow the army led by His Majesty to Latinum!"

"You are just a reserve soldier, and you haven't even entered the reserve team of the Legion. Will they let you go?!" Kusniya thought her husband wanted to participate in the battle, but she was not panicked, but was just a little confused.
