v5 Chapter 53： Avenokis dinner

When Raos joined Dionia for only one year, the change in his port was so great that he really surprised Canos.

After waiting for a while, he had a spare dock for him to park ashore. The officials sent by the Luos Town Hall, who had received the news, had already greeted the shore. Kanos was pleased to accept the invitation of the official to meet the owner of the city, the governor Avinogis.

“Is this port so busy every day?” Carrios asked in a crowd of people.

“Yes.” The official said proudly: “The merchants of the Dionysian Union like to rent a boat to go to the North Gaul, or the Iberian Peninsula trade in the west, and then load the goods here to land. The team was transported back to Turui. A few months ago, after the establishment of the South Italian Alliance, we were even more busy here! The merchant ships of Trina, Cologne, Crotone and Sirityn came to Laos from time to time. As long as it is the dynasty of the Dionysian Union, we will provide the best service and preferential cost of boat parking, accommodation and water supply. Now, Grumendum becomes a member of the Dionysian Union. Later, there were a lot more businessmen coming here. Most of them went to the fine iron ore of Grummantum... Laos welcomed the Elia merchants to trade here too!"

Kanos smiled and was about to respond, and there was a scream in front: "Damn stupid things don't block!"

Immediately after the screams, Kanios saw two naked men lying on the side of the road, blood-stained welts, and several heavy sacks fell to one side.

"These slaves are Lucanias." In order to be afraid of leaving a bad impression on the guests, the officials explained: "Their ancestors forcibly captured Raos and turned the Greeks of Luos into slaves." Let us live a life that is not as good as death for generations. Now Aventisgis led us to retake Laos! A year ago, they were the masters of this city, calling us like cows and sheep, now We Greeks have once again become the masters of Laos, let them also taste the taste of being a slave!"

Kanios looked at the emotional official and thought: You look like a pure Greek.

"You turned the Lukarias in this city into slaves?!" he asked.

"Not all. Some have a relationship with the Lukaria citizens of the Dionysian Union. Later they were released by the Avenigos and went to Niutum. It is now estimated to be Dionya. Citizens. I don’t know why the Diaonians are so tolerant of these barbarians who believe in different gods!” The official whispered, though hateful, but did not vent as loudly as before.

In the heart of Kanios, it is also evident that Dionia has influence on its affiliated city-states.

The city of Raos, located near the mouth of the Lahe River, is not too big. The number of its citizens is less than 5,000. The main composition is two parts: one is the tribe that the Avinogis family has always commanded, and this is where he sits. The core strength of the life-time governor of Ruos is that after these people were converted into citizens, Avinogis also gave them the land; the other part was the original Greek slave, and Avinogis liberated them and gave them They have citizenship rights, but they don’t have “partitions”. In order to live, they serve as the low-level shackles of the city or become hired workers and dock workers. Fortunately, the tax burden in Laos is not too heavy, as long as they work hard, they should Small savings.

Although Avinogis claimed to be a descendant of the Greeks, he always knew that he was a mixed race with most of the citizens of the city, so the citizens of Laos had similar feelings of inferiority, exclusion and ethnic identity, not to mention the situation. He rescued them from slavery. If he is kind to the people, then they will support him. Therefore, even though he learned from Davers, he was self-appointed as a life governor. In fact, the parliament of Raos was only a display, and there was no citizen assembly. The big and small affairs were decided by Avinogis. He is a real lord. .

Kanos in this so-called town hall - in fact, the city owner's house saw Avinogis, the burly obese, slightly murderous Laos consul actually prepared a banquet, very enthusiastic He gave a welcome speech to Canos and invited him to attend.

This made Kaneos, who was on the alert, relieved. After he took the seat, he also raised the wine glass and expressed his sincere gratitude to Avinogis for his hospitality. Then he said: "Three years ago, I came here. After Raos, but this time, I found that Laos changed a lot, especially the trade of the port is very prosperous. It is only a year since Laos was free, and he can achieve such great achievements. This must have paid a lot of effort!"

The words of Canios praised Avinogis and he was very comfortable. He laughed happily: "Of course I have not bothered, but more should thank the ally of Laos but there is, in this alliance, Laos Enjoy a lot of convenience!..."

Canos listened thoughtfully.

At this time, Avinogis asked: "Is Elia this time to send you to join the Dionysian League?"

A trip to Canos. In the situation of Elia, and at this time to come to Dionia, the discerning people can roughly guess the purpose of their mission, but Kanios did not expect Avinogis to ask so directly, he put down his hands. The wine glass, thinking about it, vaguely said: "Whether to join the alliance, or to adopt other covenant methods, it is necessary to look at the results after deliberation with Dionia."

Avinogis looked at him and grinned. "Please forgive me for speaking directly. With my understanding of Dionia, with Elia's current strength, I am afraid that Dionia will not accept other covenants. ”

This is obviously to say that Elia is not strong enough, so don't think that he will get better treatment when he talks with Dionia. Canos was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and drank, did not speak.

Just listen to Avinogis and say: "I heard that you Elia has a close relationship with the Greek city-states of Campania. If Elia has any covenant with them, Dionia may not necessarily Elia will be accepted to join the alliance because it does not allow the city-states within the alliance to have any diplomatic relations with other city-states."

Kaneos was a little surprised. He still didn't know that there was such a rule between Dionia and the Allies: "Thank you for the reminder of the Archon! The city-state of Campania gave Elia some help, but Leah did not have an alliance agreement with any city-state." Kanios answered without hesitation.

In fact, the Campania League headed by Naples and Capua has always disagreed with the admission of Elia, because Campania and Elia are separated by two powerful races, Samona and Lucania. Elia's strength is not strong. Once it becomes an alliance, only Campania continues to help Elia. Elia is hard to make a big contribution to the Campania League. How can the savvy Greeks always? Do this kind of loss trading. Elia can trade with Campania, but there is a demand for each other, and it is necessary to recruit mercenaries from Campania to resist the attack of the Lucanias, which is to pay.

"That would be great, let Elia join the Dionysian League. With the credibility and strength of Diaonia, the Lucanias will not be your trouble anymore. And Elia and La Russia As the only two port city of the Tyrrhenian seaside in the Dionysian League, Sis can cooperate with each other to strengthen trade relations...” Avinojis smiled excitedly and seemed to speak out of his own heartlessness. Suggestions.

Kanios listened to his heart, for a moment, silently, without seeing the Lord, how could he express his feelings at random, so he removed the topic: "The Archon General must have seen the Detroit of the Dionysian League. What kind of person is he?"

"I have seen it many times. I also fought side by side with him!" Avianogis looked proud. He wiped the wine stains on his lips He said solemnly: "Give you a piece of advice." Don't be scornful because he is young, he is a great person!"

Since Elia has to deal with Diaonia, she naturally knows about Dionya. The focus of the natural investigation is Davers. The members of the Elia Council are different from him: what he appreciates is his ability, and Dionia rises in such a short time, absolutely inseparable from his efforts; uneasy is his identity, actually the only one. The life governor, this is different from the Syracuse's lord Dionysius.

Will Elia and Dionia cooperate to lead the wolf into the room? It is necessary for Kanios to judge with what he saw and heard. The prosperity of Raos reduced his fears, and the words of Avignos increased his curiosity: Is this the admiration of the Lord for the Lord?

"Right, I can send you to Turui tomorrow." Avinojis suddenly said.

"The ruling official, I am very grateful for your hospitality! How dare you let me send me in person again, this will make me uneasy!" Canos is both moved and euphemistic.

"Ha ha ha!..." Avinogis smiled loudly: "You don't have to thank me, just send you off the road. The Temple of Hades in the city of Turui was built, and Dionia invited me to go to the ceremony!" ”

The shackles of Avinogis made Carnos a bit embarrassed, but he was even more surprised by what he said: Hadis Temple? !

........................

When he heard that Heraclitus fainted at the completion of the Temple of Hades, and was unconscious, Daves immediately shoved away all the affairs and quickly rushed to his home.

Heraclitus is already awake, but she can't move at all. Her eyes are half-closed and half-closed, her mouth is wide open, her chest is rushing up and down, like a broken bellows making a harsh "snoring" sound...
