Vol 7 Chapter 4: Chief Executive's private banquet


His slave reminded him that Naxos Chief Executive Stromboli invited him to dinner this evening.
He remembered this matter and hurriedly called a carriage to drive to the city of Naxos as quickly as possible.
There is of course a boulevard between Mayalo and Naxos, and just 20 minutes later, Garad Moss arrived at the Chief Executive.
Under the guidance of the slaves, Galadmos stepped into the living room, where the couches, wooden chairs and dining tables were placed, and the candles were lit around to make the living room shine brightly.
"Adult, I am sorry, I am late!" Garad Moss apologized for the slamming of Stromboli.
"You are too early, Dioccassis will come later." Stromboli ushered him in, comfortably said: "Tonight, there are no other outsiders, just three of us. Dora’s party, so don’t be too restrictive, treat it as your own home.

"Yeah." Garad Moss responded.
"Like a couch or a wooden chair, you choose." Stromboli said, sitting down on the couch in the middle.
Seeing that Garrad Moss picked up the wooden chair and sat down, he patted the pillow around him and said: "Since His Majesty and Hulps advocated 'sitting a wooden chair for a healthy meal,' it has been more than a decade now. But I am still used to using the couch."
Garad Moss said busy: "The people of our Amendola Lara often say, ‘only adults still hold the tradition of Amendola.’

"They don't always say that I am too conservative," Stromboli replied.
Garad Moss hurriedly wanted to explain.
He waved his hand and smiled. "I don't think that the head is like a stone. If it is a good thing, I still have to learn to accept it. Otherwise, I can't manage a few hundred meters away from Amendola." The city of Liyuan. The change of the Great Greece in the past ten years is so great that it will not work if people don't change it..." Stromboli recalled the past and felt his emotions.
Garad Moss listened carefully.
Stromboli was satisfied with his move and made a gesture to the slave who stood by the side: "Let's serve."
Garad Moss was shocked: "Adult, can we wait for Diocassis?"
"He is not like you, I am here often, he is like his own family, so you don't have to worry about him at all."
Indeed, Diocassius is said to have come to Naxos with Stromboli, one year earlier than Garad Moss, and as a prosecutor, Diocassis to Strylon Directly led by Pori, he is an important arm of the Chief Executive to govern the city (inspector, meaning patrol, tracing, a new public office after the establishment of the Kingdom of Dion, its predecessor is the patrol captain, Daves up the original The level of public service at the bottom level makes it more effective in maintaining urban law and order.) Naturally, it is much more closely related to the external system of Gardemos.
The slaves will make a good meal of the cans: dried fruit, such as almonds, figs, pistachios, dates, fruit, pomegranates, peaches, plums... meat, steamed pork soup, grilled Lamb, cooked chicken... seafood, grilled squid, steamed oysters... of course, wine, beer and squeezed watermelon juice. After a while, the table was filled with food and drinks.
Garad Moss’s eyes were dazed and he couldn’t help but say,
This is too rich!

"Tonight, we have to have a good time and have a good time. I have specially invited the chef of the Cristoya restaurant to cook for us. I am sure that you will be satisfied!" Stromboli was lying on the couch. The face is quite self-sufficient: "I believe that some food on this table may not be eaten in the royal palace of the Majesty. Who is called Naxos is closer to Afrika." Strombolihaha smiled and The slave who stood at the door of the living room made another gesture.
A female slave with a slim figure, a good face and a slightly dark skin came in. Under the direction of Stromboli, she sat straight to Garradmos.
Garad Moss was slightly nervous, and the subconscious moved to the side.
Stromboli saw this and smiled. "I remember Garrad Moss. You seem to have not got married yet, right?"
"Yes, adults."
"It's time to find a wife! Earn your family's blood early, so that your parents can rest assured in Elysee!" The words of Stromboli made Galadmos touch.
"But don't look for it in Naxos, because your roots are in Amendola, try to find the daughter of Amendola or the Minister of Turri, it will be more helpful to your future! Wait for me to go back for you. Good looking..." Strompoli’s warning.
"Thank you for the teachings and help of the adults! I..." Garrad Moss was touched. He did feel that Stromboli was really thinking about him.
"Oh, our real Amenadora people are not many! And there are only two of you in Naxos... I remember that we were imprisoned by the Lucanias at the Temple of Zeus, you Father Esakus finally fell because of his hunger and illness, and I was by his side at the time..." Stromboli recalled the past and murmured.
Garad Moss's eyes are a bit red.
"You said that I can't care about you!" Stromboli said this sentence, but the sound suddenly coming from outside the door destroyed the atmosphere: "You don't wait for me, you have already started eating and drinking!"
Along with this cry, a burly young man walked into the living room.
"Dio Cassis is sitting down and waiting for you." Stromboli didn't care that the young man had no big talk, and asked the slaves to serve him quickly.
"Hey, Gala." Diocassius waved at Garad Moss and sat down opposite him.
Garad Moss nodded his compliments. The two are familiar, because they are not only different in age, but also a classmate at the school in Turui, but Garad Moss is excellent, and Diocasis is a stubborn student, so the two exchanges are rare. It’s only after adulthood that there are more contacts, especially after coming to Naxos.
Diocassis is different from Garad Moss, because when Davis occupied Omendo Lara, he still had a mother, and finally his mother was married like other widows of Amendola, his adoptive father is Dracos, but Diocassis and Dracos are not good. He doesn't recognize this adoptive father. Dracos is busy training soldiers and fighting, and he doesn't care much about him.
Until the end of the South Italian War (Siracusa called the war ten years ago the "Great Greek War", but the Diaonians believed that the battlefield not only fought against Syracuse, but also with Samona, the tower Rantum fights, so he calls it "Southern War". Dracos died heroically and became the hero of Dionya. There is a statue on the Temple of the Spirit, King Daves and former mercenary veterans. Coase's family has been taking care of it, which is unacceptable to Diocassis. Finally, he found an opportunity to come to Naxos to stay away from the comrades of Dracos.
"Adult, I remember someone else just gave you two Numisian slaves, you can't be eccentric!" Diocasis just sat down and yelled at Stromboli.
"I know that your kid will say this, and you will be indispensable." Stromboli smiled.
Then another female slave entered the hall and sat next to Diocassis.
He immediately grabbed the female slave's waist and asked the other person's name.
Stromboli coughed and asked, "What happened in the city? Let you come so late."
"Prosperity of Prosdemo came to me in the afternoon and said that a registered free man reported to him that his 13-year-old daughter had disappeared and hoped that I could give him support. I just went to understand the situation, this He rushed over and prepared to send someone to start searching tomorrow."
When Diocassius finished, Stromboli nodded and didn't care too much. When the city of New Naxos was founded, it was full of exiles, free people, interracial people, and even Campani. There are remnants of the mercenary, so there are often cases of fighting and fighting, and cases of murder and disappearance have occurred from time to time. It has not stabilized until the past few years. He believes that the ability of Diocassis can be handled well.
"Adult, this is not too simple, I am afraid that it is related to the La Ossian family." Diocassius glanced at Garad Moss and said, Shen Sheng.
At a glimpse of Stromboli, he dropped the glass he was about to raise, waved the two female slaves back immediately, and then asked seriously: "Oh, what evidence did you find?!"
Garrad Moss’s heart was moved ~EbookFREE.me~ also raised his ears.
"The free man was recently hired by the La Dithian family to guard the wheat field. According to his wife, 'here her daughter was going to give him food, and the result never came back again,' and the free man said, 'He is fundamental I didn't see his daughter. '..." Diocasis grabbed a plum and took a bite and continued: "Adult, you have to know, Paphos was originally because of chaos in Turui. He will be rushed back to Naxos by his father, and in Naxos there is often a rumor that he is 'abusive slavery'. I suspect that this matter cannot be related to him!"
Stromboli is still indulging, but Garad Moss can't help but link the disappearance of the girl with the suspicious things he encountered in the afternoon, and immediately interjected: "Adult, I am going to pull today. Field inspection of the Odyssey family..."
After listening to the narrative of Garad Moss, Diocasis shouted: "You see, even Galla is so skeptical! Adult, you have to give me an order, I will take people to Paphogri tomorrow. Search at home!"
Stromboli stared at him and said very seriously: "Diocassis, you have to change your impatience. If you don't have solid evidence, just guess, I won't let you search. The house of Odyssein!"
