Before AD [Babylonian Favorites]

Hephaestion's eyes gradually revealed a hint of vigilance, he sat up straight and looked at me, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

I stood in a stalemate with him for a moment, and finally put down my clenched fist.

Of course, I can't go up and grab it blatantly, it's too risky, and my reason tells me that now is not a good time.

I said, "Your Majesty, I will stay."

Alexander was a little surprised: "Why do you..."

"I hope I can stay and serve His Majesty." I replied respectfully.

This ring was of great significance to Hephaestion and Alexander, once they lost it, they would never have the chance to get close to it again.You must be [-]% sure to get it, and there must be no mistakes.

"Bagoss, I'm glad."

A faint smile appeared on Alexander's face.

I paused and walked out the door.

Speaking of which, I really like Greek civilization.

This probably has something to do with my liking for the Aegean Sea.I once told John that if one day I get old and retire, I will buy a house there to live.

John heard this, and immediately howled in dissatisfaction: "Little Francesco, what about me? Where did you put me?"

I just laughed, but I didn't speak on purpose. John jumped over with his teeth and claws, and clung to me like an octopus.

"I don't care," he hugged me hard, "Little Francisco, I will follow you wherever you go. If you don't take me with you, I will stand outside your door and cry every day. You just watch Let's do it."

I smiled wryly and pressed my forehead.

In this world where no one knows anyone, even thinking about this rotten person feels extraordinarily beautiful.

But, did I really love him?

Or, I just want to find someone to go to the Aegean with.

I calm down, since I want to survive here, I still have to force myself to smooth out the history of ancient Greece.

Greek civilization originated in the Aegean Sea and has experienced the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Dark Ages.It wasn't until 776 BC, when the first Olympic Games were successfully held, that the real ancient Greek civilization took shape.

The Stone Age is easy to understand. The Bronze Age is the age when bronze tools were mainly used, while the Dark Ages is a period of darkness when foreign invasions suppressed it.In the late Dark Ages, around 800 BC, Greece’s maritime trade began to develop. It sought to expand outwards and gradually got rid of the oppression of darkness.

The Chinese civilization bred in the great river civilization made the Chinese people meek and humble, while the Greek civilization polished in the ocean civilization made the ancient Greeks the most ambitious ambitious people. They like to explore unknown areas. Force and war, so they never give in easily to anyone - not even themselves.

Therefore, hundreds or thousands of years have passed, and the vicinity of the Aegean Sea is still fragmented. Almost every city will form a small country, which historians call a city-state.

There were two most famous city-states at that time: Athens and Sparta.

Then Sparta defeated Athens and dominated Greece.But Sparta knows how to fight the country and not defend the country. The iron fist policy may be useful to a group of sheep, but it is absolutely useless to a group of wolves, so Greece soon fell into chaos again.

The small country of Macedonia came into being at this time.

It is in the northern part of Greece, barely on the edge of Greek civilization.But in fact, even the ancient Greeks themselves were unwilling to admit that Macedonia was part of them. They called Macedonia an uncivilized barbarian, and in order to fight against the increasingly powerful Macedonia, ancient Greece, which had been divided, miraculously formed an alliance!

The king who ruled Macedon at that time was Alexander's father, an outstanding military strategist, Philip II.

In 338 BC, he defeated the Greek coalition forces in one fell swoop and occupied the whole of Greece, thus opening the prelude to Macedonia's conquest of the world.That year, Alexander, who was not yet 18 years old, served as the leader of the right-wing cavalry and made his debut in the battle[1].

Afterwards, Philip II was assassinated and died. Alexander succeeded to the throne. First, he crossed the Danube River quickly and established the northern hegemony of the Macedonian Empire. Then he flattened Egypt and became the Pharaoh. .

All the way was invincible, and Alexander quickly captured Babylon.

In Babylon, he did not stop for long, and continued on his journey to the east.

I thought about this history while walking, but after walking for a while, I slowly stopped, looked around, and finally remembered a very serious thing:

Oh, God!This is where? !I don't know the way at all!

I was suffering from hunger and cold, when I heard a voice asking in surprise, "Alexander?"

someone here?I look around.

"What are you doing sitting here alone at night? Didn't Hephaistion come looking for you? Did you two quarrel?"

It was pitch black across the corridor, and the voice was getting closer and closer to me.

Before I could see what it looked like, I smelled a faint sandalwood.

My spirits lifted and I raised my head.

The visitor was wearing a cloak, his eyes were as clear as crystal, and his straight chestnut hair flowed out from the gap, covering most of his face.

Isn't this the chestnut-haired man who always followed Alexander?Do I look like Alexander?Why don't you just say Mr. Bean and Beckham are twins?

I hurriedly stood up and replied, "My lord, I am Bagoss."

"Bagoss?" He thought for a moment, "Which Bagoss?"

Khan, it turns out that his memory is worse than his eyesight.

"Ah, that little boy who pissed off Ptolemy, I see." He showed his white teeth, "What are you doing here?"

I said, "My lord, I'm lost."

"Lost again?" He laughed enthusiastically, "What can I do, I'm not familiar with this place either."

No way, is it possible that I'm going to sleep in the wild tonight?

I haven't started to worry yet, I saw him wave his hand lightly: "Why don't you go to my place first to make do with the night."

I had a good night's sleep that night, and while my body and mind were completely rested, I was very grateful to this man with chestnut hair whose head I could almost see the halo of the Virgin.

Before going to bed, I secretly asked a waiter. It turned out that Comrade Our Lady's name was Kassander, and he was the youngest general under Alexander.Now that he has just turned 20, he is even younger than the young emperor Alexander.I know very little about this historical figure.Because in Oliver's movie script, he didn't have any outstanding roles.It's just that he can become one of the few generals under Alexander at such a young age, so he must still have some skills.

At noon the next day, the sun came in through the window, I got up, my ears were ringing, and I was light-headed.

I sneezed fiercely, and my head hurt. It seemed that I caught a cold due to the wind blowing too much last night.depressed.

After retracting the quilt and lying down, I felt better when I heard the sneaky conversation between two people outside the door.

"...Get another one back? Wasn't that one closed for a long time last time? I went to deliver water yesterday and scared me to death. I think he's almost out of shape!"

"Who knows, I heard that this was left by His Majesty himself. Is it okay to capture it openly like this?"

"I think this one will be thinner. If it is true, it will kill someone. Well, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to survive. I am tortured like this, and no one can stand it."

The two of them sighed regretfully at the same time, which made my heart skip a beat.

What are they talking about?To whom has Kassander committed any treason?

I fell asleep thinking wildly.

After an unknown amount of time, when he woke up again, a magnified face with bright blue eyes was reflected in front of his eyes.

"Bagos, are you a pig? What time is this, are you still sleeping?"

With this accent, even with eyes closed, one would know that it was Ptolemy.

I impatiently put the quilt over my head, turned over and continued to sleep.

"You dare to do this to me?"

Ptolemy said angrily.

As soon as I got cold, the quilt was lifted.

"You..." A gasped voice sounded, and Ptolemy said in disbelief, "Which one of your brains has been chopped off, and you dare to steal Alexander's royal robe?"

"No, it was too cold yesterday, His Majesty lent me."

I said wearily.

Ptolemy frowned: "Then why are you sleeping here in Kassander?"

"Why can't he sleep with me?" Kassander's provocative voice came from behind Ptolemy.

Ptolemy was expressionless: "Because you are annoying."

Kassander leaned back in his chair wearing a dark blue Persian robe, took a sip of the wine in his hand calmly, and said:

"I hate it? For Zeus's sake, Uncle Ptolemy, who is duplicity, what are you doing here?"

Ptolemy said angrily, "I'm not an uncle!"

"You are not too old, but I am too young," Kassander changed his posture and spread his palms, "There is no way."

Ptolemy was so angry that he choked and turned to look at me: "Are you going or not?"

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Anywhere, as long as it's not here, I see him upset."

"Do you have to go?"

I think I have a nasal voice when I speak.

Ptolemy said angrily: "You are from Alexander, what's the matter with staying here? Kassander is a licentious person, if Alexander told me to take charge of you, I wouldn't bother to care about it." you!"

"I'm still here, uncle."

"What I'm saying is the truth."

The two quarreled again.

I had a headache, waved my hand and said, "Hurry up and go."

"Wait a minute," Kassander put down his glass and raised his eyebrows at me with a smile, "Bagoss, I liked you very much the moment I saw you. In return for our first meeting last night, I will give you a gift."

This is said, Khan, too level.

Ptolemy, you don't have to stare at me anymore, I really have nothing to do with him.

He clapped his hands outside the door: "Bring it up."

There was a sound of metal clanging outside, and after a while, the door curtain was lifted by the waiter.

A person walked in slowly.

Wait, how could it be a person?

Isn't it "it"?

He walked up to the three of us and slowly knelt down.

The huge chains on that person's body crawled all over his body like vines.

I was too shocked to speak.

Kassander raised the corner of his mouth and stepped forward, caressing the man's collarbone very naturally, his white fingertips sliding down the neck bit by bit.

The man began to tremble all over.

Kassander suddenly grabbed his hair violently, forcing him to lift his head up, exposing his slender, fragile neck.

"Naisi," the soft voice and the fierce action formed a strong contrast, Kassander pointed at me, "that is your new master."

The man couldn't restrain himself, he let out a muffled snort, his ghostly beast eyes slowly adjusted the focus, and stared at me fiercely as if staring at prey.
