Chapter 369 The Roman patriarchs in Turii (continued)

Tibruce quickly said, "We'll leave right away! Let's leave right away!"

"Wait! Where did you come from? What did you do when you come to Tuliyi City?!"

Facing the stern gaze of the inspector, Tibruce quickly took out the official documents issued by the Roman City Hall and handed them over.

After reading the official documents, the inspector was very surprised: "You are officials from the city of Rome, come to attend the Kingdom Conference?!"

"Yes, the Chief Executive of Rome, Lord Ascestes, originally did not intend to attend the conference because of his busy affairs. However, considering that the Senate and the towns may be eager to know the details of the current situation in the city of Rome and the Latinum, I sent me to attend the conference on his behalf. At the same time, the newly promoted Lord Purbrianus was also the one who attended the conference on behalf of Rome. Because it was a bit late to make this decision, and the distance was long, he arrived at Turiyi today."

After Tibruce finished speaking, the inspector hurriedly knocked his right fist to his left chest, saluted and said solemnly: "Two sirs, I'm so sorry! It's during the war. In order to ensure the safety of the conference, the Senate requires our inspection department to strictly inspect any outsiders entering Turiyi during this period, so we have to delay your time."

"This is your duty, we should cooperate." Tibruce said without caring.

"Okay, Tibruce!" Asikalus pointed at him in surprise and dissatisfaction, and shouted: "You kid can attend the Kingdom Conference, but you are still hiding it from me!"

Tibruce explained embarrassedly: "Mr. Ascesters was too busy to attend the conference. The officials in other departments were also in a lot of work. Only the Roman Ministry of Agriculture had allocated land and had sufficient labor. The people there cooperated with us very well. The spring sowing was also progressing smoothly. I was relatively idle, so I handed over this task to me."

"That's pretty good too!" Asikalus said with envy and regret: "You are now the city farming officer, and I am the Demon farming officer. If I had known this, I would have gone to Latinum with you!"

"You can't compare this way." Tibruce hurriedly comforted him, "You are responsible for the demo of Turiyi, the central city of the kingdom. Both the level and the influence are beyond Rome."

Publius felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

"I'm sorry, a few sirs." The inspector interrupted their conversation loudly and reminded: "Turiyi City Hall issued an announcement this morning. In order to ensure the smooth convening of the Kingdom Conference tomorrow, the inner city gate will be closed early at sunset. Now there is not much time." As he said that, he also pointed to the sky.

Tibruce immediately became nervous and threw a reproachful look at Asikalus.

Asikalus immediately defended: "It's not my fault. I went outside the city early in the morning to supervise the slaves' work. How could I have time to read any announcements!"

"Don't worry, I suggest you ride on your horse and speed up, so that you can arrive in time." The inspector returned the official document to Tibruce and suggested: "If you encounter the inspector again on the road, show it to them quickly. In addition, please be careful to control the horses and not to hurt pedestrians!"

Tibruce immediately expressed his gratitude, and then instructed Asikalus: "Go back and tell my parents that I will go to the inner city to attend the conference first, and then go home to see them when the conference is over."

"Don't worry, I'll bring the words, you guys hurry up."

After saying goodbye to the other entourages, Tibruce and Publius immediately turned over and went up to the center of the avenue, and rushed to the inner city.

In normal times, pedestrians walk on the sidewalks, and the avenues are all carriages, trucks and riders, which are relatively smooth. However, when a special festival comes, not only does the traffic increase, but the traffic also increases sharply, causing road congestion. Therefore, before various celebrations and festivals, the Turiyi City Hall always sends additional inspection teams. At this year's Kingdom Conference, the traffic in the outer city of Turiyi is much better than in previous years, and the carriages and trucks on the avenues have decreased significantly. This is because of the impact of this long war. If it were not for the news of victory that continued to be heard during this period, the confidence of the kingdom people and merchants was increasing, and the vitality of the commercial market was recovering rapidly, otherwise what Publius and others would see would be a depressed view.

Publius and his team finally arrived at the west gate of the inner city before sunset. After checking the official documents, the city guards asked the two to enter the inner city.

When passing through the outer city, due to the tight time, Publius looked at it roughly, but it also gave him a deep impression: although the city of Turiyi is large and has a lot of people, the streets are relatively clean and tidy, with various buildings and orderly residential planning. The Roman city in the past was simply impossible to compare with it. It is no wonder that after the Dionians occupied Rome, they soon began to rebuild the city. Obviously, they could not bear the dirty, narrow and denseness of the Roman city neighborhoods.

But the outer city of Turiyi is one level lower than the inner city. When Publius walked on the square and uniformly slab-paved Bama Avenue, the ground was extremely flat and clean enough to see no garbage. On both sides were tall street trees and green herbs, the drainage ditch next to it was gurgling, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, but they all looked leisurely. While walking, they were talking quietly... Just one road shocked Publius, because it reflected a civilization more advanced than Rome, which made him involuntarily give birth to a strange feeling that it was natural to be destroyed by Dionia.

"That is the main temple of Hades in our kingdom. It is a rare double temple in the entire Mediterranean. In addition, the temple also enshrines statues of sages and heroes who have made great contributions to our kingdom, as well as heroes of the warriors who died in battle. You must take the time to go up the mountain to worship...

There is the Palace of Dionia! Let me tell you, a year ago, I followed my superior Burkos to the palace to accept his majesty’s reception...

This is an elevated water bridge, which drains the clear river water on the Sobari Plain into the city, so that the people in the city can have clear water without leaving the city. It is said that its original design was that His Majesty Davers was inspired by the God of Pluto..." Tibruce proudly introduced the landscape of the inner city to Publius as he walked.

Since entering the city, Publius has been watching the inner city view with his eyes wide open, and the surprise on his face has never faded for a moment.

"Look, that's the Great Kingdom Hall!" Tibruth's shout pulled Publius's gaze from the elevated water bridge that stood tall and ran through half the city.

A huge round white building stood in front, immediately capturing Publius's attention.

"How is it, it's grand enough?" Tibruce said with envy and pride: "That's where the Kingdom Conference will be held tomorrow! That's where you will work in the future, Lord Publius!"

"It's indeed much larger than the Roman Senate!" Publius calmed down and walked forward.

Although the sky was already dark, the Grand Council Hall was still open with candlelight. After the two of them revealed their identities to the guards at the side door, the guards led them to the duty room in the middle hall. Seeing the person lying on the wooden table, Tibruce hurriedly saluted: "Dear Lord Anta Oris, Roman agricultural officer Tibruce saluted you!"

A few days ago, the Senate received the news from the Roman messenger, so Anta Oris stood up and looked at the two people in front of him without any surprise: "It's just that I've been waiting for you, and it's all the way! Thank you all the hard way!"

After saying that, he looked at Publius and said with a smile: "You are the Publius veteran from Rome, you are very happy to see you! My name is Anta Oris, and I am one of the five rotating chairmen of the Senate of Dionia."

Publius learned a lot of political affairs with Tibruce about the Kingdom of Diony, so he roughly knew what the position of rotating chairman of the Senate meant, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Hello, Lord Anta Oris!"

Anta Oris saw that the Roman was a little nervous and restrained, and did not continue to show his enthusiasm, but said seriously: "I originally wanted to have a good chat with you and learn about the current situation of Latinum in detail. But considering that you have been running all the way and traveling for a long distance, you must be tired and hungry now. You need to have a good rest and maintain your energy to better participate in tomorrow's Kingdom Conference, so I will not waste your time. During the conference, we will find time to chat in detail."

Before the two responded, he immediately shouted: "Prosanus!"

"Sir, please give me instructions." The Senate Order Officer appeared at the door.

"This is the new veteran Lord Publius! This Roman agricultural officer Tibruce who came to attend the Kingdom Conference instead of Lord Ascesters! You take them to the Kingdom Hotel and be responsible for making arrangements!"

"OK."

"Mr. Publius, I really welcome you to Turiyi! Here--" Anta Oris pointed at the top and said sincerely: "It will be your new home. I hope we can work together well in the future!"

"Mr. Anta Oris, Turi is a beautiful and magnificent city. I have fallen in love with it!" Publius said solemnly and saluted Anta Oris.

On the way across the Victory Square and to the Kingdom Hotel, the Order Officer Prosanus also solemnly introduced to Publius the place where Hades showed his miracle - the Turi Spring Pool.

After hearing this magical story, Publius took some time to walk around the pool.
