"Wherever you live, obey the law." - Jewish proverb

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As each square passed through the stands one by one, not only the announcer, but also all the enthusiastic spectators began to make friendly comments and encouragement to the players they were targeting.

When the Milesian team entered the stage, the Gallic soldiers in Lepidus' army collectively booed, "This is such a small city-state. Fortunately, they have always been known as the most powerful place for sex in Asia, but the beds there are only Five Roman feet long. Yes, you heard it right, only five Roman feet. Every time I go to have fun, I put what I said on the bed and there is no place to lie down. "

When the Virginia team entered the stadium, many spectators shouted, "Look at the iconic two-eared hats they are wearing. I can bet five small Obo coins that this country will definitely compete in the heavy infantry walking competition." There is nothing wrong with them when they run. There is nothing to shake around in the bottom, because the most abundant thing in this country is eunuchs, hahaha! "This is indeed the case, Virginia, a small country, Has always exported eunuchs to the Eastern and Egyptian empires.

After the Galaxia team entered the stadium, the audience and soldiers shouted the slogan "pay back the money, pay back the money" because the kingdom owed a lot of foreign debt, because the old king Deotarus had many children, and the royal family was wasted on ostentation. extravagant. When the Eubotian team entered the scene, the onlookers of the legionnaires sang together again, "We are riding horses, and the cavalry commander is also riding a horse. His horse is the most beautiful stallion in the world." "

A lively competition ensued. Started in various places. Under Mount Asimanus. Parasols of all colors were surging everywhere, slaves wearing hats and nameplates were "flying" like a flock of birds, the discus rose and fell in a perfect parabola amidst the exclamations of the ladies, and people gathered around the wrestling and boxing rings. The crowd in Fengcai was the largest, and people were arguing fiercely over whether the Thracian or Nubian players were the strongest.

The most spectacular event is the heavy infantry walking event of each country. There is no grouping in this competition, so hundreds of "bare pigs" wearing only a simple bronze helmet. There were some with light yellow skin, some with red skin, some with white skin and some with black skin. As they ran and walked, their buttocks and lower bodies shook violently, causing the women who came to watch to scream.

Throughout the day, Lepidus humbly guided Adiana's carriage and watched the athletic events. "After the celebration is over, the players from each country will gather on the campus again. For Heavenly Father, Heavenly Queen, Apollo God, the God of Venus, the God of War and his wife, etc., offered generous sacrifices," Lepidah said, pointing to a row of obelisks in the middle of the school field. Coincidentally, the two of them saw them under the obelisk. A group of dark-skinned athletic representatives, wearing pure white linen shorts and short skirts, were sweating profusely. Each held a long and narrow wooden board in their hands, and they were beating the white boards filled with feathers and kapok. For small balls, they also set up narrow wooden doors composed of three pillars and two beams at both ends. It seems that the victory is determined by hitting the ball into the opponent's door, but these competition representatives seem to be from the same race? So Lepidus asked the announcer next to him which country this was from. The announcer shrugged and said, "This country is not from Asia Minor, but merchants from Tianzhu from the Red Sea and Bactria. They came here to do business." The people in the myrrh business also voluntarily gathered to participate in this competition. "

Adiana looked around and continued to ask strangely, "It seems like they don't participate in other competitive events?"

"Yes, they only participated in this weird wooden ball event, which we asked us to set up temporarily before the game. Ha, in fact, they only participated in this event in the entire conference, and only their own group participated in this event. ” the announcer explained with good-natured sarcasm.

When they saw the distinguished cavalry commander and the beautiful Queen Eubotia coming to the arena, the group of Tianzhu players immediately surrounded them enthusiastically and loudly praised the gods of all nations in extremely fluent but unintelligible Latin. Then the leader held up a gorgeous water bottle and shouted loudly, "This is the water from the sacred river of our country. It is brought from a very far away place. Please allow me to present it to the commander of the cavalry and Her Majesty the Queen." "Drink." Lepida suddenly thought of something, but felt dizzy. He hurriedly took the water bottle and the water, and politely replied, "Can I sacrifice this water to the gods immediately after the game?" .

The answer was yes, of course, and that was our honor.

Lepidus finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he also saw Adiana looking at him with strange eyes, and said in his heart, "Fortunately, I have seen it a long time ago. Otherwise, if I really drank the water of this sacred river, I would be in trouble." You deserve it."

As a result, at this time, the token officer from Ephesus arrived in a hurry and handed over the latest Caesar's instructions. Lepidus avoided the noisy crowd and checked under a parasol. Sure enough, the above information was consistent with his. The time collected is not much different.

"Caesar is waiting for the flute player to die, and the flute player Ptolemy is really going to die." Lepidus slowly put down the instruction board and said.

"I heard that when Ptolemy of Egypt was alive, he made a will to give the entire Kingdom of Egypt to Rome." Adiana took the tablet and recalled.

"Well, the Pied Piper wrote me a letter in a private capacity before. In it, I can be sure that he had a disease that Egyptian pharaohs often had, that is, scurvy. This was determined by the environment of the entire Nile River. The Pied Piper had swollen gums, an enlarged body, and often had pus in his ears and nose bleeding. He complained about it. Now his days should be numbered, and Caesar stationed in Ephesus and his many legions are waiting for the Pied Piper to die, and then formally annex Egypt, the rich granary, according to this will."

"That's not possible. You must know that Carabis, you spent so much energy before to help the Pied Piper restore the throne, and monopolized the right to draw commissions from Egypt's supplies to the world, which can provide you with hundreds of talents of financial income every year. Now, do you have to hand it over to Caesar?" Adiana said hurriedly.

"Of course I won't give it up. What I'm thinking about now is how to protect my own rights and interests without letting Caesar pay too much attention to this. So you have to understand Adiana, Caesar the bald guy is very smart, at least as smart as you and me - maybe he will be the target of our war from now on." Lepidus said thoughtfully.

Then he said, "Maybe, I hope Hebrida and Polo have already arrived at the Pelusium Fortress."
