Chapter 647 The Arrival of Hippocrates

After hearing this, Crotokatax realized something and asked humbly: "Father, how can I control my temper well?"

"The main thing is that you have to be confident! This kind of confidence comes from your ability and your strength. Ability can be obtained when you continue to learn and practice. I believe you can handle any problems that arise. And strength, you see-" Davos turned around, pointed at the towering palace, and said in a deep voice: "Behind me stands the powerful Dionysian Army, with millions of people who love me. The insults of those senators are like a dog face." The lion can't hurt me at all, so why should I care about it? I can also take the opportunity to show my kindness and generosity..."

Davos taught his children without reservation, Clotokatax was thoughtful.

After walking for a while, Davos suddenly sighed: "Time flies so fast, you all have grown up, and Cynthia is married in the blink of an eye, it's really lively!... Think about when I was your age, I was still herding cattle and sheep in Thessaly. At that time, there was a girl from my neighbor who was a few years older than me, and she took good care of me. I...I liked her better..."

"What happened next?" Crotokatax was moved in his heart and asked hurriedly.

"What happened next?" Davos deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"That girl!"

"Later..." Davos pretended to think about it and said, "She married my employer's son, and I married your two mothers... Now that I think about it, I was still too young at that time. She was the only young girl I came into contact with, and liking her was just a matter of youthful impulse and gratitude. In fact, she never liked me, and the true marriage gifted to me by the God of Love did not come until I met you. 's mother..."

After Davos finished the story he made up with pretending emotion, Crotokatax fell silent.

The father and son walked up the hill quietly, but Davos did not go straight into the mansion, but turned around, overlooking the city of Turui under the hill, and Crotokatax had no choice but to stop his progress.

It was already late at night, and it was almost impossible to see lights in the city.In the night sky, the bright moon hangs, emitting bright silver light. Without the obstruction of clouds and fog, it becomes even brighter.Under the shroud of moonlight, the high and low, large and small houses stretched into the distance, quiet and serene, with occasional dogs barking, echoing leisurely in the night sky.

"What a wonderful city!" Facing this situation, Davos said with emotion: "Crato, do you know where your name comes from?"

"I know! When I was born, the Crotone army attacked. Father, you led the army to defeat them and forced them to sign a covenant, so I got this name!" Crotone replied Sometimes, the words are full of pride.

"I am the king elected by the people. They hope that I can lead them to defend their beautiful homeland! One day, when I am old, this position will be inherited by you! To protect the safety of the kingdom and the interests of the people, let the king Every city in the country can be as peaceful and peaceful as Turui tonight... These will be your responsibility!" Davers pointed to the urban area below the mountain with his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the shoulder of Crotokatax , said in a deep voice earnestly: "This responsibility is very important! It is related to the lives and happiness of millions of people in the Kingdom of Dionysia! My child, you don't have much free time, you must always be prepared for this!  … "

Davos's words made Crotokatax feel extremely heavy. He looked at the quiet city under the mountain...

For a long time, a bit of perseverance gradually appeared in the somewhat confused eyes...

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

In April in Turiyi, people are happy.After experiencing the lively celebration of Hera and the marriage of Princess Cynthia, the All-Greek Scholars Conference was held.

Although most ordinary people in Dionia who work hard and work hard do not care too much about this, for scholars, teachers, students, and even the Greek people who love knowledge in the entire kingdom and even in Greece, this is undoubtedly a problem. An unprecedented academic event.They poured into Thurii from all sides of the kingdom and even the Mediterranean, making the entire Thurii area lively again.Not only were the hotels in the city and the port full, but many Thurii people also accepted outsiders to stay in their homes, thus making a small fortune.

With the increase in consumption and the sharp increase in business taxes, Thurii enjoys the benefits of being the central city of the kingdom.

Europez is a businessman from Agrigento. He often comes to Turii to buy large quantities of wine, and then sells it to the southern coast of Sicily. He is very familiar with the port of Turii, but today he was fooled. After arriving at the pier, I found that the surrounding situation was very different from the past.

On the west side of the avenue exiting the pier, there were many young people in white robes looking towards the pier, holding a wooden sign in their hands that read "Dionia Academy", and they were surrounded by many people. The small number of people almost blocked the west entrance of the pier.There was a patrol team nearby, but they did not stop them to ensure smooth roads. Instead, they directed the workers transporting goods to go around the main road on the east side of the dock.

Europas, who has been doing business in Turii all year round, is relatively familiar with the situation here. He knows that there are only two types of people in Turii who often wear white robes. One is the temple priest, and the other is the school teacher and academy. students (outstanding young students of Dionia Academy will be required to teach at the school).The people in white robes in the port obviously do not have the solemn and peaceful temperament of the Hades priests. The most likely ones are teachers.

"Excuse me, is there anything big going on in Turiyi recently? Why do so many teachers come to the pier?" Europez curiously asked a person on the side of the road who was also looking at the pier.As a businessman, curiosity is an essential quality in order to be able to identify business opportunities.

"You are not a Dionian, are you?! Who in the kingdom doesn't know that the Dionian Academy in Thurii is about to hold an All-Greek Scholars Conference. This is a major event that will cause a sensation in all of Greece!" This Thurii man is extremely proud. He said: "Many famous scholars from various city-states have arrived in Thurii in the past few days, and those young people are here to greet them. Yesterday, I also saw Master Ansitanos personally coming to greet the students from Thebes. Kobes and Antisthenes of Athens, I wonder which famous scholar will come today?..."

As he was talking, he suddenly looked surprised: "Why are the respected Lord Helps and Lord Stacey Kordas here?!"

At this moment, these two highly respected Dionia elders who have saved countless lives (Stacy Kodas was also elected to the Senate after being proposed by Daves a few years ago) and they are both old men over 50 years old. He hurried towards the dock with a group of doctors.Not only did the public feel curious, but even the young teachers who were tasked with welcoming the scholars were amazed: if the two adults could spend precious time on medical treatment and research to come here, who would be the scholars they would welcome? !
Hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at the pier where Helps and others rushed.

I saw a white-haired old man getting off the passenger ship that had just docked, and with the support of others, he moved slowly towards the shore.

Helps looked at the visitor and was filled with emotion: He thought that it was because he was inspired by this old man that he decided to engage in medicine, and he was also planning to go to Kos Island to learn medical skills from him, but something went wrong. Meeting Davos made me what I am today.

But even though he has become famous today, his heart is still full of respect for the old man.

Helps hurried forward to meet him and shouted excitedly: "Teacher Hippocrates!"

The old man opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the group of people hurriedly approaching him with confusion: "Who are you?"

"My name is Helps, and this is Stacey Kordas, our doctor in Dionia!" Helps introduced loudly.

Hippocrates covered his ears with his right hand, listened attentively, and then showed a clear smile: "Oh, you are the writers of "Human Anatomy". You are amazing! Please don't call me teacher, you are me Teacher!"

"Teacher Hippocrates, don't say that. In the tradition of our Dionysian Academy of Medicine, any doctor who has rich medical experience and has unique medical insights must be respectfully called teacher, not to mention you are Let us get rid of foolishness and explore the origin of diseases with careful thinking. The "Doctor's Oath" you wrote is remembered in the hearts of all doctors in Dionysia. You are our well-deserved teacher!"

Helps finished speaking emotionally, and the doctors behind him recited in unison: "I will abide by my oath and remain committed to it!

I should respect the teachers who taught me medical skills as much as my parents.

To my students, I must carefully impart medical knowledge.

I will do my best to take medical measures that I think will benefit the patient without causing pain or harm to the patient.

I don't give poison to anyone, and I never authorize others to use it.

I want to practice medicine and live a clean life. No matter who I enter, I will only do it to treat illnesses. I will not do whatever I want. I will not accept bribes or seduce the opposite sex. I will never reveal anything I see or hear about my private life that should not be disclosed..."

The loud voices of the doctors rang at the pier and reached the ears of the onlookers. Someone among the teachers shouted excitedly: "I know who he is! Hippocrates! He is Hippocrates!"

Among the students in the academy who are responsible for the reception today, they are mainly students from the School of Philosophy and the School of Mathematics. However, the academy does not restrict them from auditing courses in other colleges, and even allows them to discover what they really feel after a period of study. After gaining interesting knowledge, you can change the direction of your learning.
