Subsequently, the other four people also got out of the car and walked forward.

Those coming from the south have to cross the Krati River and enter the city of Turii in two ways: first, they enter the southern city of Turi and take a boat from the pier to the pier of the main city of Turii on the other side, which is mainly applicable to the citizens of Dionya and the envoys of other visiting city-states, etc.; The second is to cross the wooden bridge to the west outside the southern city to reach the delta at the confluence of the two rivers, then cross the wooden bridge to reach the north bank of the Kratti River, and finally enter the main city.

Nick Stratus went up to the wooden bridge after passing through the checkpoint, and Lycasus, unlike his teacher, was pretending to be reserved, he stamped his feet curiously, patted the railing, and from time to time craned his neck to watch the ships pass under the bridge...... Suddenly he shouted, "Look what they're doing?!" ”

Nick Stratus looked in the direction of his finger, and not far from the bridge was a group of teenagers swimming in the river, not playing in the water, but in several groups, one by one, scrambling from the north bank to the south shore and back. The Greeks are a maritime people, and there are many people who are good at water, but it is still relatively rare to have such a tense and exciting swimming scene with every child wearing leather armor.

"Is it a game?" Stasipulus said uncertainly.

"They're in military training." A middle-aged man next to him, who had broken his right arm and was lying on the bridge railing and watching for a long time, interjected.

Stasipus looked him up and down a few times, and asked curiously, "Military training?" ”

"They are all students of the Turriyi school, and in accordance with the requirements of the Dionian Education Act, they have to undergo military training in addition to their knowledge...... "The middle-aged man explained.

"It's cruel that such a young child is forced to do such a dangerous sport! What if they run out of energy and drown?! What should I do if I am hit by a boat?! Nick Stratus said dissatisfied.

In fact, there are not only instructors accompanying you in the river, but also several boats parked on the river, ready to rescue at any time. But the middle-aged man didn't explain much, but said lightly: "The vicious enemy is not let go of anyone because of his young age, only through strict training, can he kill the enemy when he goes to the battlefield, not be killed by the enemy." ”

Nick Stratus was speechless for a while, and simply walked away quickly, the men of Dionia, whether they were young or middle-aged, spoke with an aura that disgusted him, no wonder some people called Dionyas "Little Starmen", and their methods were indeed cruel enough!

The middle-aged man paid no attention to the departure of the strangers, and continued to pay attention to the training of the children in the river, until the instructor summoned them all ashore, and then he crossed the bridge and went down to the river beach unhurriedly.

"Hey, Pariondoros, my brother!" When an instructor saw him, he warmly stepped forward to hug him, both of whom had been soldiers of the Amintas Brigade of the First Legion, and the fighting friendship was naturally deep: "Your child is still performing well as usual, and today he won the first place in his group in the training of armed swimming!" The instructor praised without hesitation.

"I've seen it all on the bridge."

"I said Paris, you have been so concerned about your child's military training performance recently, are you ready to let him succeed you as an adult and become a Dionian legionnaire?" The instructor said jokingly.

Who knows, Paryandolos nodded seriously: "I want him to enter the First Legion." ”

The instructor was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded him: "My brother, although Patroclus has performed well, he has not fought for several years now, and the number of legion reserves has exceeded 10,000 people, and the first legion is not so easy to enter. Moreover, he is not yet eighteen years old, and even if he is of military service age, the officers will not be in such a hurry to send a recruit like him into battle, so let him train himself into a qualified legionnaire in the reserve first. ”

Palian Doros thought for a while, admitting that the instructor was reasonable, but he still asked a little uneasy: "I don't know the current situation of the legion, do you think Patroclus will enter the reserve in the future, how long will it take to enter the official legion?" Especially the First Legion? ”

The instructor smiled: "You, you should usually walk around with the old brothers of the First Legion, especially our boss Captain Amintas, he is the most nostalgic. Do you know that he was just appointed commander of the Second Army this year, and your son is going to enter the Second Army, just a matter of his words. Even if you insist on letting Patroclus join the First Legion, the friendship between Amintas and Antonios of the First Army is only a matter of his words. ”

Pariondolos silently listened to his comrades' suggestions. Indeed, since he was injured, there has been a lot less interaction with his comrades and officers, and now for the sake of the children, some changes should be made.

"By the way, haven't you been studying at school lately, preparing to take the assessment of Turiyi and serve as the village chief? How are you learning now? The instructor suddenly remembered and asked curiously.

Pariondolos smiled bitterly: "I used to be illiterate, but now that I'm older, I don't remember well, just remembering those letters is enough to give me a headache......"

"Then you have to work harder, I'm still waiting for you to enter the Senate in the future and take care of our old comrades-in-arms more!" The instructor said jokingly.

Paryandolos gave a rare smile.

"Father!" Patroclos, who had already changed his clothes, walked over.

"Already out of school?"

Patroclos nodded, he was almost 17 years old, he was taller than Palian Doros, although he was not as strong as the instructor, but his body was well-proportioned and strong, for students like him who were about to become adults, the afternoon classes of the school were no longer ordinary sports competitions and military training, but more rigorous, began to practice close to actual combat, and prepared for entering the legion service.

"Pariondolos, don't forget what I told you." When the instructor saw the father and son walking away, he reminded loudly.

Paryandolos waved gratefully.

"Father, what did you say to the instructor?" Patroclus asked curiously.

"About your entry into the First Legion......" Paryandolos told his son truthfully.

Patroclus let out a long whistle: "I heard Stephorus say that it is simply impossible for a recruit like me to enter the First Legion in the first place. But I believe that no matter what regiment I am in, I will be the one who bears the flag at the triumphal ceremony! ”

Palian Doros patted the child's shoulder with satisfaction, Patroclus was an extremely confident child despite his out-of-character personality.

When father and son left the academy, Patroclus suddenly stopped and shouted, "Hey, Cynthia! ”

Cynthia, who was returning home with her classmates, turned around and smiled at him.

Patroclus winked his eyes: "The hairband on your head is loose." ”

Cynthia reached out and touched her hair, realizing that she had been deceived, and immediately took a sip and scolded: "Nasty Palo! ”

Patroclus laughed, glaring at Cynthia as he walked away, before withdrawing his gaze.

How could Pariondoros, as a person who had come before, not understand his son's thoughts, but most of the people in Turiyi knew the identity of the girl - the adopted daughter of the consul Davers, and he was just an ordinary citizen of Dionya who had just obtained citizenship, and the status gap between the two sides was huge. It's just that his son has a stubborn personality and has his own ideas when he is a child, and he can't say anything, I just hope that this is just a simple liking of the child, and when he grows up, everything will change.

………………………

Cynthia says goodbye to her girlfriend and walks into her home.

The house slave quickly came over and took her school bag, and she immediately saluted and thanked her.

Today, Davers's mansion is larger than before, divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back. The forecourt was the dwelling of ordinary slaves, and the stables were also here; The middle courtyard was the place where Davers's office was held, as well as the bedrooms of the slave butler and office staff; The backyard is home to Davers and his family.

Cynthia walked straight ahead, and everywhere she went, the slaves saluted her, and Cynthia returned the salute one by one. This is Davers's house rule, and Cynthia, although she doesn't understand it, has developed a habit.

After entering the middle courtyard, she also met with Aristiras. Cynthia was more afraid of her father's retinue, and she always felt that his black and white eyes seemed to have some kind of magic that could see through people's hearts. In contrast, among Davers's entourage, she preferred the former scribe Aristocracy, who had unfortunately become a citizen of Ionia and, at the suggestion of Davers, had passed the League's examination and had become a judge of the court of Turiy.

Cynthia pushed open the room in the backyard, and a familiar voice came over: "Oh, Cynthia is back!" ”

Christoya stood by the garden and smiled at her, as Asuna bent over pluck the flowers.

"Mother!" Cynthia snorted and ran up to give Christoya a hug. After several years of getting along with each other, the sexy, elegant, and kind woman in front of her has replaced the image of her mother who is fading in her mind.

"Lighten up! Don't scare your sister, you reckless little one! Christoya subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, which was already a little protruding, and flicked it on Cynthia's forehead in disgust.

"Sister, I disturbed your sleep, and my sister apologizes to you!" Cynthia leaned close to Christoya's stomach and said funny.

Then, she suddenly shouted in surprise: "She kicked me!" Mother, sister she kicked me! ”

"yes, I feel it too!" Christoya was also happy, this was her second pregnancy, how did she know if she was pregnant with a boy or a girl, but after having little Chloe, she wanted a daughter, so she said that she was pregnant with a girl, and this was the first time she felt the fetal movement.
