The Christoya restaurant in the market is still full every day. The prepared citizens of Dionia, freedmen, and businessmen and sailors from all over the place are here to taste food, drink wine, talk about current affairs, and of course also spread some Gossip topics, such as: rumors about Davers’s mother having **** with Hades in a dream, and that he was pregnant with Daves, and the Turri patrol captain Olivers and his Persian wife who made everyone love and hate Do you take a Greek or Persian pose when making love... etc.?

Of course, the most discussed during this time was the Bruty War. The prospective citizens and freedmen have participated in military training and have seen the strength of the soldiers of the Dionian Legion, and they firmly believe that Dionian will win. Many foreign sailors and businessmen expressed doubts because of the war that had lasted for more than ten days and had not made any progress. In the end, the two sides either quarreled or fought, and the restaurant became the most frequent place for market patrols.

Dickpolis and Tios sat in the corner eating lamb-shabu, drinking beer, and listening to the neighboring table talking loudly about the ongoing war.

Dickpolis sighed: "In the Alliance of Dionia, this is not good, there are too many wars. There have been three wars so far this year, and my business has also been affected."

Tios comforted him and said: "There is no war in this world now! Even in Corinth, as the conflict with Sparta is getting deeper and deeper, the people are worried about when to fight Sparta. There will be a war. Dionia is not bad, at least it hasn't lost a war so far, it has always been attacking other city-states..." An enviable expression appeared on Teos's face.

"You are now operating a weapons workshop, and you are buying and selling weapons. Of course, I hope that the more wars the better! I heard that the Archon of Dionian visited your workshop some time ago." Dickpolis also revealed A look of envy.

"Yes." Tios was quite content, leaning over and whispering, "You are my friend, and I am not afraid to tell you that Dionia is improving their weapons and equipment, their citizens The number of soldiers is huge, and the output of their own weapons shop is too low. Even after five years of production, they cannot equip each soldier with new weapons and armor. My weapons workshop is the only large-scale weapons workshop in Dionia. Of course Will be admired by the archon who likes war!"

"I'm afraid... it's worth tens of thousands of sets of weapons and armors, you are going to make a fortune!" Dickpolis was envious.

"This won't make much money." Theos shook his head and said, "Don't look at the young, but the consul Davos is a shrewd man. He offered to exchange old weapons and armors for new ones, and pay a little more to make them at most. Expenses."

"Old weapons? You mean rusty?"

"No, the citizen soldiers of Dionia no longer use the traditional Corinthian helmets, copper shields and greaves of the Greek city-states. Instead, they designed a helmet with a leather insert and a jaw guard, a shield. It's made of cowhide-coated wood, but it's half a person tall, and it needs to be curved. It's a bit difficult to make this kind of shield. I don't know why they designed it like this..." Tios recounted his doubts and complaints.

"The Archon of Dionia is a famous general in Great Greece. His design like this naturally has his reason. You can just do what he says, think so much. And listen to what you say, those traditional Greek-style weapons and equipment, you can sell them to other city-states, it is also profitable." Dickpolis reminded him.

"But you didn't include the shipping costs, the taxes and fees paid for buying and selling to other city-states, and the time spent..." After taking a sip of wine, Tios showed a confused expression on his face: "In fact, all of these I don’t care too much, I have made some money, and I have a good relationship with the consul. This is a rare opportunity! But Daves said a word to me when he left the weapon workshop, let me see this I haven't been able to sleep well..."

"What are you talking about?" Dickpolis asked curiously.

"He said, ‘Unfortunately you are not a Dionian citizen, otherwise we will have further cooperation with you.’"

After listening to this sentence, Dickpolis took a moment to think carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "He meant to make you a Dionian citizen."

"I think so too." Tios sighed: "But according to the "Law of Dionian", if I become a citizen of Dionian, I will no longer be a citizen of Corinth, and become a Dionian citizen. The time required for the citizens of Onia is too long."

"What is good about being a Corinthian citizen, can you own land?"

"I have no land in Corinth."

"According to what you just said, Corinth is likely to have a war with Sparta. Can Corinth defeat Sparta?"

"No."

"It’s better to prepare early now than your family will be destroyed by then. You are not too old. It’s not a big deal to wait for a few years in Dionia. And you can become a Dionia citizen and own your own land. , It can also make your business go further, such a good thing, it is the goddess of luck that is blessing you, what are you hesitating about!"

Dickpolis’ words awakened the dreamer, and Tios pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind: "My dear friend, thank you for your reminder! You are right, I really should make a decision early. !"

Dick Boris laughed and said: "Actually, I also want to become a Dionian citizen. The longer I live in Dionian, the less I want to return to Crete, which is small, barren, and boring. .Here, I can watch wonderful rugby and football matches, delicious food to eat, get sick, and have a good doctor to treat...I can go hunting in the mountains and fishing in the Senise Lake. The political situation here is stable, Dai Onia is a vibrant city-state alliance. It is already very powerful, but it is still becoming stronger. No other city-state dares to invade it, only it can bully other countries!"

After hearing Dickpolis' emotions, Tios raised his glass and said: "Should we go to Tulie's household registration officer to register together?"

Dick Boris was taken aback, then laughed: "Okay, let's go together!"

The two drank it and wiped away the blocks in their hearts, talking and laughing, making them more happy.

The guests at the next table quarreled. Dickpolis listened carefully, but because of the Isthmus Games, he joked: "Tios, you have to be careful. Don’t mention that you are Corinth here. People."

Speaking of this, Teos scolded angrily: "The idiots of the Corinth Council, most of them are probably the first time they have heard of the name Dionia, so they simply They don’t look down on the emerging city-state alliance of Dionia, but they don’t know that this emerging city-state alliance is several times stronger than Corinth. Offending it will do no good to Corinth!"

Dickpolis feels the same: "Not only Corinth, many city-state citizens in Greece have a contempt for the city-states in the Western Mediterranean. They always think that the city-states in the Western Mediterranean are colonies, and treat them as hillbillies from poor countries. Look. In fact, they don’t know that not only Syracuse, Dionia’s strength is also comparable to Sparta and Athens, and the great Greek city-states such as Tarantum and Crotone are even in the mainland of Greece. It is also one of the best in the world."

"Yes, to offend a Dionia who is still growing stronger, the general of Corinth may be in trouble..." Tios said with some worry.

"Why are you still worried about this? Anyway, you have decided to become a Dionian citizen."

"But I still have many relatives and friends in Corinth!"

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a huge cheer in the market, deafening.

People in the restaurant didn't know what was going on, and were asking each other curiously. A patrol member walked in and said excitedly: "Cheers, Dionians! Our heroic soldiers, under the leadership of the great Archon Daves, captured the city of Busignia in Bruti!"

"Great! We won again!"

"Isn’t Bisignia a small town on the south bank of the Krati River next to our Turíy! No Greek has ever been there before. I heard that the terrain is very difficult and dangerous, so we actually captured it?! ! It has only been a few days since the war!"

"Attack, brave soldiers! Keep on attacking and strive to take Cosenza as soon as possible!!"

……

There was cheers in the restaurant.

At this time, the waiter of the restaurant came out and said: "In order to celebrate this victory, my host has decided that all the food and drinks that everyone here asks for today are free!"

"Wan Sheng! The generous consul's wife, beautiful Kristia!" The guests danced and cheered loudly.

"This is great, please give me a glass of wine too!" The patrol team happily said.

"Wine or beer?" the waiter asked.

"You see I'm sweating, and of course I drink beer to quench my thirst." When a full glass of beer was handed to him, the patrol member held it high and said loudly: "Everyone, to our omnipotent ruling Officer Daves! Also to our heroic citizens who participated in the war!"

Everyone in the restaurant including Dickpolis and Tios raised their glasses, and the guests at the next table came over to clink with them and said, "Congratulations to you both for joining the ranks of Dionian citizens! It is undoubtedly a correct decision!"

Dickpolis looked at him in surprise: "Did you hear it all?"

The man blinked: "Otherwise, why do you think I scold the Corinthians."

Theos smiled relievedly at this moment: "We have made such a good news after we made the decision. This is the arrangement of the goddess of destiny!"

"Yes." Dickpolis nodded in agreement.

"Cheers!" Several wooden cups collided, and the wine splashed all over.
