Chapter 8 The Opening (Part 2)
ps: I will update two times tonight and pay back yesterday’s debt. Thank you for your support.
Although he was not a consul, there were twelve red-clothed entourages holding fascism in front of him, and behind him was the eagle mark of the first Syrian Legion, which was shining golden, and was not comparable to the flag of the auxiliary legion. He brought three hundred black-skinned and bows and arrows on his shoulders, barefoot Medez Guards, and thirty Spanish riders wearing chain mail and fierce faces.
Li Bida, wearing the golden beige crown of the citizen Crasusser, rode on a white horse, behind him was Mathia carrying a calfskin box, and a group of servants wearing silk Baiyu, quickly advanced towards Harland, the capital of the Kingdom of Gerasha. On the way, Li Bida saw the wilderness of Lekdania on the swaying saddle. The wind rolled around with unknown grass. Although there was not the snow ten years ago, there were still dark mountains, fields, and the same dark grass everywhere.
Li Bida couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he traveled here. He had been through this place without a single article and was bullied. No one quoted it at the time, but he felt a little relieved, that was, he met Porti and Tuna in this world. Now he has struggled, and he has no shortage of wealth, power and family. He may not have done it well in the original world, because he embarked on an extremely dangerous and exciting path. This taste must be something that the world could not give.
King Diotalus, with his luxurious guards, was waiting for the plenipotentiary of Crasus at the northern border of Lekdania. At that time, the king was sixty years old, about the same age as Crasus, but also had ambitions. Diotalus always carried the Kingdom of Geraschat in the Little Asian War before Rome, and unswervingly supported the Republic. From Sura to Lukulas, and then to Pompei later, no one doubted his friendship with him, so Pompei died.
After the Kingdom of Bendu, the kingdom of Gerasha was the largest increase in territory. Now their territory almost spanned the entire Anatolian Mountains. The king was a very cheerful person. He was mixed with black and white hair and beard, his eyes were bright and energetic. Even though the Republic stipulated that envoys could talk to him on the back of a horse when they met a vassal king, Li Bida still dismounted respectfully and saluted Diotalus. He understood that in any era and in any country, he must respect elders. This means respecting wisdom.
"Here, the southern border. I am going to imitate the Armenian king Tegranis to build a new capital that can be connected to the harbor roads of Silesia. The name of the new capital is Malgash." The old king obviously also liked this very polite young alien general, walking with him, pointing to the noisy and busy construction site over the valley.
Then the king remembered something again, and laughed loudly, saying that when Crasus learned about his construction of the new capital, he wrote a letter from Ephesus to tease him, "It was only when you were aware of your destiny that the king had the power to build a large-scale construction."
"Our governor is also at this age and needs to work hard to go on an expedition, not a young age." Li Bida took over the conversation, which made Diotalus smile. Then he narrowed his eyes and asked the envoys, "Do you need to arrange a few beautiful maids to sleep during the evening banquet?" Li Bida suddenly thought that when he was about to receive the envoys from various countries, Adianna must be on the list, so he waved his hand guiltily and said, "Please allow me to refuse."
The king smiled and said, "When I was your age, I wanted to see an ostrich by the Red Sea."
The couple, while talking dirty jokes, walked towards the city of Harland. In the palace, Libida dismounted again. Then they invited the king to sit on the throne in the main hall, and asked Mathia to open the gift boxes he carried and presented them to Diotalus one by one. Most of these things were Libida's own private pockets. There were exquisite small golden statues, beautiful silver-plated tableware, and various amber, turquoise, and obsidian ornaments. They were distributed to the king's wives, concubines and children. Diotalus enjoyed it so much that he couldn't close his mouth. He immediately decided to give the side hall of the palace to Libida's mission to live in, and sent a letter asking the surrounding small kingdoms and city-states to come as soon as possible to be loyal to the envoys in Rome as soon as possible and wait for the arrangements.
The old palace of Gerasha was probably built by Cretan craftsmen. It was arranged without symmetrical layout, full of houses that were overlapping or alienated, but mixed with mixed trees, flowers and curved stairs, which had a unique and unique interest. Li Bida was on the second floor, a place with a thick shade of half terrace and half living room, and met the messengers everywhere, while Sabo was by his side, with every detail and precision calculation, or asked these messengers to provide grain, weapons, or assist the army.
At this time, Li Bida had already asked David Angit's son Matthia to participate in the financial and documentary records. The child had good qualifications and could write two words in Hebrew and Greek before. Now Li Bida directly asked him to review and copy the data, "First handle the affairs directly, and then go to philosophy classes three years later, you will have more understanding and easier to cultivate. My adopted son, Little Pigeon, seems that there is no way to study, so I can only take him into the army early to explore the world, but you can't let your father down. He should not want you to become a warrior or politician." Sometimes he would say to the child earnestly.
"Crassus' auxiliary army finally took shape." At dusk, Li Bida leaned on the chair and the small table a little tired, while Sabo stood in front of a pile of paperwork, almost exhausted. He originally thought that he would do his staff's homework with Li Bida, and he wanted to do everything himself. Now that his superiors have become Crassus, he really understood how happy it is to follow Li Bida.
However, Li Bida flipped through the documents in front of him again, but was a little lonely. At this time, the dance banquet in the palace was held. He and Sabo could only put down what they were doing and went to the banquet. The princes of Gerasha and the princes stood on both sides of the hall door and saluted the Roman envoy with breath holding their breath. Several of the teenage princes also whispered to the place where the envoy's eyes remained.
"Now there are only two kingdoms left in Armenia and Ubertnia, and they have not been able to send envoys to come." Li Bida said to Diotalus in the music and dance, and was obviously a little restless. He pointed his fingers on his cheek from time to time, and then placed his fingers on the edge of the wine glass.
Diotalus looked at the daughters and made a funny expression, meaning that you don’t have to think about anything more. Then he whispered: Queen Eubertnia’s sister is the wife of the Armenian king Tegranis. I think you know it. You must know the queen more. It seems that half of the little Ya knows it.
