Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 9 Chapter 7: Lenturus's Secret

What they didn't know was that the main purpose of this law was to speed up the assimilation of some Dionian citizens, such as the Romans and a few Phoenician nobles who joined Dionia, and at the same time let Dion The Nigerians have a pride of being “unique in themselves” (in the Mediterranean countries and races, people who gradually have a family name have basically adopted the first name and the last name), which is more conducive to the acceleration of the formation of a new Dionysian race.

After the "Surnames Act" was promulgated, citizens of Dionia were basically implemented in accordance with the law, and there was no major turmoil in the territory. Regarding slaves, the decree was not mentioned. After all, many slaves do not even have names, only nicknames, but many slave owners have given their slaves formal names for the sake of convenience. In some kingdoms, slaves are better off for future freedom. Developing within the kingdom, he also gave himself a formal name and registered with the slave camp management office.

Under such a general trend, if Gauss persists, he will undoubtedly look very strange, and will cause special attention from the patrols.

"Someone is looking for you outside the camp. Hurry up." The soldier at the door eased.

"Thank you ... Thank you!" Gauss quickly put on his clothes, rolled over to the ground, nodded and thanked the soldiers, and hurriedly ran towards the camp gate.

The original quiet dormitory suddenly became lively: "It's weird that someone comes to Gauss in the evening."

"What's weird about this. Now we work in the quarries during the day, and we can only find people in the camp in the evening."

"Gaius is so lucky that someone always comes to him. It seems that he has many relatives outside!"

"What ’s so strange, because he used to be a Roman aristocracy. You Phoenicians do n’t have many relatives in the kingdom either. How can we be like Lusitanians ... hey, the family members of our family are born to us. I don't even know ... "

The dormitory suddenly fell silent.

After a while, someone comforted: "In a few years, when you are free, you can go back to Iberia and bring your family to Dionia to live together."

"Huh! I won't stay here until I'm free, I will definitely return to Iberia as I know it, far from this abominable Kingdom of Dionia, maybe one day, I will Dionia ... hum! "

"What can you do back to the poor mountainous area of ​​Iberia! I'm often hungry, and I ca n’t get sick. I often have **** battles between the tribes. I do n’t know when I will lose my life in the battle ... In fact, it is this slave Life in the camp is also much better than living in the Iberian tribe! After I am free, I will never return to Iberia. It will definitely be better to live in Turui than in a slave camp! "

"How dare you betray the tribe! See I won't kill you now!"

"Well, don't make a mess! Do you want to bring in the patrols!"

...

The slave camp is like a closed small Dionian town, with cafeterias, shops, hospitals, and even arenas ... all the necessary town facilities are basically available, and slaves can be free in the camp as long as they do not violate the regulations. Action, but not out of the camp. However, in order to reduce the slaves ’consciousness of resistance and allow them to secure their free identity through labor, the management office allowed outsiders to visit the slaves in the camp.

Especially after the Western Mediterranean War, the number of outsiders visiting the camp increased sharply because of the large number of new Roman and Phoenician citizens and the large number of Roman and Phoenician slaves.

Gauss walked into the reception room next to the gate of the camp and saw the familiar figure sitting there. He couldn't help shouting: "Lentulous Manlirus."

The man, who looked younger than Gaius, turned and stared at him, warning Shen: "Gaius, don't shout!"

Gauss, who had been suffocated before, ignored Lenturus's warning and said sarcastically, "Isn't this your name? Or is it that you have forgotten your true identity and forgotten your family Glory, but willing to re-take a name that is not Roman at all, according to the requirements of the Dionysians! "

In fact, Lenturus can completely refute: "Since you haven't forgotten the honor of the family, then dare you declare your name publicly as Gaius Fibius Rabio!"

But he didn't, because his father was Pubulius Manlilius, not only the first Roman noble to take refuge in the Kingdom of Dionia, but also the Kingdom of Rome, which was the first public name to be changed after the publication of the "Last Names Act". Officials, many former Roman nobles, and now citizens of the Kingdom, hate them privately, and even call them "the culprits that led to the death of Rome". These rumors obviously affected Lenturus, and he became red. Face, excitedly blurted out: "Gaius, you just dare move your tongue, you have no idea what a huge risk those who are really defending Rome are taking! One day, you will know if I have forgotten Rome And the glory of the family! "

At this point, Lenturus raised his head, a resoluteness and pride appeared on his face, and made Gauss, who was familiar with him, stunned, and asked subconsciously, "Luntulus, what do you say? What do you mean ?! "

Rantulous ignored his questioning, picked up a thick parcel, put it on the table, and said coldly, "Your sister sent the parcel from Rome to our house and asked us to send it to you Sent here, I see you are happy every time you receive the package, and you have not cut off from them because your brother-in-law, Stolo, is a Dionian official and also changed his last name. "

"Who said I wouldn't scold them, but I still have to collect things." Gauss cheeky, hehe smiled, dragged the package over and opened it immediately.

"It's no use looking at it any more, it's just some food and clothing, nothing valuable, the guards have already picked it up when entering here." Lenturus was still indifferent.

Gauss face showed a contented expression: "Great! It's all Roman specialties I like to eat! It's been a long time since I've eaten it, I almost forgot what they taste!"

When Lenturus heard this, he was a little lost.

At this time, he listened to Gauss and said, "Lentulous, our two are relatives who have played together since we were young. Remember that my father often praised you in front of me and said, 'Don't look at you being younger than me, but I have been very assertive since I was a kid, and I will definitely be more promising than me when I grow up, and I may become a hero of the Roman city. 'I have always kept this in my heart, and just used words to humiliate you. What you are doing, on the other hand, is that you are afraid that you will truly surrender to Dionia and live up to my father and my expectations of you ... In short, I hope you can forgive me! "

After listening to Gauss's flattery, Lenturus was scratching his itchy heart, and the dissatisfaction in his heart melted away quickly, pretending to say, "My father is my father, I am me, and I will always It's all a real Roman! "

"That's it! That's it! We, but the great race raised by the she-wolf, will never give in! Especially Lenturus, I firmly believe that you will become a great Roman hero!" Gaius was sincere and sincere After speaking, seeing Rantulous's face quickly wiped away his annoyance, showing his contentment, he quickly rushed forward again, and whispered: "What is the big thing you just said ... what is it? "

The young Lenturus had been stunned by Gaius's words, and he glanced around: there was no one else in the reception room except the two of them.

So he approached Gauss and whispered slightly: "As before, you must keep secret! I tell you ..."

……………………………………

Gauss sent Belentourus, and when he came out of the reception room, he accepted the guards' inspection again in a happy mood, and then walked back to the camp briskly.

He did not return directly to the dormitory, because once the food in the parcel was found by the slaves, he would probably be robbed soon, so he went to the villa area (nickname of the place where single slaves lived with family slaves) and knocked Opened the door of Massims's house.

"It's so late, you don't take a good rest, recover your strength, and walk around! Don't forget to go mining tomorrow!" Massimus opened the door and saw him, uncritically criticizing.

Gauss ignored him, and stretched his neck to poke in, saying, "What about the **** and the children?"

"It's Gaius, come in and sit down!" A figure stood up in the corner with a faint candlelight, and then two small figures came out, shouting affectionately: "Uncle Gaius! "

"Good boy!" Gauss smiled softly on his face. He squatted down and took a few things out of the package. "Look, what did your uncle bring to you?"

"Yeah, what a big bread!"

"And fish!"

"Remember ~ www.readwn.com ~ This is the wheat bread and Tiber salted fish from Rome, and this-Sabine's cheese, take it."

"Uncle Gaius is nice!"

"Thank you Uncle Gaius!"

"Your cousin, Konya, is sending you something again, she is really nice to you!" Massimus saw the package and food, and immediately guessed things inseparably. Clan is often intermarried, and they are more familiar with each other.

"My sister is really nice to me, but that Stolo was actually a Dionian official. At the time, my uncle was really blind and married my sister to this civilian!" Gaius hated "However, I think he will soon be a short judge!"

"Is something wrong?" Massims asked alertly.

Gauss didn't answer directly, but said, "Brother, do you have any wine here? Tonight we'll have a small banquet with salted fish and bread in this hometown, happy!"
