Laos joins Theonia merely one year, the change of its harbor on such big, makes Kanos be startled. 拉俄斯加入戴奥尼亚仅仅一年,其港口的变化就如此之大,着实让卡尼奥斯大吃一惊。 His travelling by boat waited for some time, has the idle wharf to anchor to come ashore for him. Obtains the official who the news Laos city hall sends to greet in the shore, Kanos accepting with pleasure official's invitation, sees right in front of one Master archon in this city Avinoges. 他的坐船等了一段时间,才有空余的码头供他停泊上岸。得到消息的拉俄斯市政厅派来的官员已经在岸边迎接,卡尼奥斯欣然接受官员的邀请,去面见这座城市的主人-执政官阿维诺吉斯。 „Is this harbor every day such busy?” Karios asked in the crowded stream of people. “这个港口每天都是这么繁忙吗？”卡里奥斯在拥挤的人流中问道。 „Yes.” Official proud saying of: „The merchants of Theonia alliance like our chartering going to the north Gaul, or the west Iberia peninsula trade, then the full and complete cargo disembarks here, ships back Thurii with the team. Several months ago, after south intent Alliance establishes, here was busier! Terina, Caulonia, Crotone and Scylletium merchant ship also often comes Laos, so long as is the allied country of Theonia alliance, our Laos will provide the ships of the best service and preferential benefit anchors, the expense of lodging and drinking water supply. Now, after Grumentum becomes one of the Theonia alliance, coming here merchant is also many, they mostly welcome Elliade merchant also to come here trade to...... Laos that the Grumentum fine iron ore went!” “是的。”官员自豪的说道:“戴奥尼亚联盟的商人喜欢到我们这里租船去北方高卢,或者西面的伊比利亚半岛贸易,然后再满载货物在这里登岸,用驮队运回图里伊。几个月前,南意联盟创立后,我们这里就更忙碌了！特里纳、考伦尼亚、克罗托内、西里庭的商船也不时来拉俄斯,只要是戴奥尼亚联盟的盟邦,我们拉俄斯都会提供最好的服务和优惠的船只停泊、住宿、食水供应的费用。现在,格鲁门图姆成为戴奥尼亚联盟的一员后,来这里的商人又多了一些,他们大多是冲着格鲁门图姆优良的铁矿石去的……拉俄斯非常欢迎埃利亚商人也来这里贸易！” Kanos is just about to respond with a smile, the front hears the angrily rebuking sound: „Damn stupid thing do not obstruct the road!” 卡尼奥斯笑着正要回应,前方传来怒斥声:“该死的蠢东西不要挡道！” Transmits scream, Kanos sees the front roadside to lie down two naked men, the body is the blood-stained whip-mark, several heavy/thick gunnysacks fall in one side. 紧接着传来惨叫声,卡尼奥斯看见前方路边倒卧着两个赤裸的男子,身上是血迹斑斑的鞭痕,几个厚重的麻袋倾倒在一边。 „These slaves are Lucanians.” In order to fear leaves a poor impression to the guest, the official is busy at explaining: „Their ancestors attacked and occupied Laos forcefully, turned into the slave Laos Greeks, lets life that our generation lives is living to might as well die, now Sir Avinoges led us to recapture Laos! A year ago, the master in their city, works as cattle same directing us, now our Greeks becomes the Laos master, making them also taste to work as the taste of slave!” “这些奴隶是卢卡尼亚人。”为怕给客人留下不好的印象,官员忙解释道:“他们的祖先强行攻占了拉俄斯,把拉俄斯的希腊人都变成了奴隶,让我们世代都过着生不如死的生活,现在阿维诺吉斯大人带领我们夺回了拉俄斯！一年前,他们还是这座城市的主人,把我们当牛羊一样的使唤,现在我们希腊人重新成为了拉俄斯的主人,让他们也尝尝当奴隶的滋味！” Kanos looks at this agitated official, thought: Your this appearance not like pure Greeks. 卡尼奥斯看着这位情绪激动的官员,心想:你这个模样也不像一个纯正的希腊人啊。 „Did you turn into the slave Lucanian in this city?!” He asked. “你们把原来这座城里的卢卡利亚人都变成了奴隶？！”他问道。 „It is not complete. Somewhat has the relativeness with the Lucania citizens of Theonia alliance, afterward was released by Sir Avinoges, went to Nerulum, now estimated that also became the Theonia citizen. Does not know that Theonian so will be why tolerant to the barbarian who these believe in the different god!” The officials are whispering low voice, although there is a hatred, like had not actually divulged a moment ago loudly. “也不是全部。有些跟戴奥尼亚联盟的卢卡利亚公民有亲戚关系的,后来都被阿维诺吉斯大人释放,去了尼乌图姆,现在估计也成了戴奥尼亚公民了吧。不知道戴奥尼亚人为什么会对这些信奉异神的野蛮人如此宽容！”官员小声嘀咕着,虽有恨意,却没有像刚才那样大声宣泄。 In the Kanos heart moves, from this also obvious, the influence of Theonia to his attached city-state people. 卡尼奥斯心中一动,由此也可见,戴奥尼亚对其附属城邦民众的影响力。 Is situated is not too big in the Laos city near Lao River estuary, its citizens is less than 5000 people, the main constitution is two parts: Part is the tribe that the Avinoges family has commanded, this is also he holds on to the Laos archon key forces to be at lifelong, therefore after these clan people transform the citizen, Avinoges gave back to them to divide the land ; Another part was the original Greek slave, Avinoges liberated them, gave them the civil rights, but did not have „share place”, to live, they held the post of the underlying bed petty officials in city or become the employee and wharf labor...... to be good because of the Laos tax burden are not heavy, so long as worked hard industriously, should also slightly have the savings. 坐落在拉河入海口附近的拉俄斯城不算太大,其公民人数不到5000人,主要的构成是两部分:一部分是阿维诺吉斯家族一直统率的部落,这也是他坐稳拉俄斯终身执政官的核心力量所在,因此这些族民转换成公民后,阿维诺吉斯还给他们分了土地;另一部分是原来的希腊奴隶,阿维诺吉斯解放了他们,给予了他们公民权,但是没有“份地”,为了生活,他们担任城市的低层小吏或者成为雇工、码头劳工……好在拉俄斯的税负还不算重,只要勤劳肯干,应该还会小有积蓄。 Although Avinoges said that is the Greeks descendant, but he has been clear at heart: Oneself and this city most citizens same are the hybrids, therefore the Laos citizens have similar feeling inferior, exclusive and ethnic group identity, let alone, he from enslaving to rescue them, so long as he kindly treats the people, then they will support him. Therefore he learns from Davos although, proclaims as lifelong archon , in fact the Laos powwow decorates, does not have ecclesia, some big or small business Avinoges decision decisions, he is the solid overstepping authority lord. 阿维诺吉斯虽然自称是希腊人后裔,但他一直心里清楚:自己和这座城市大部分的公民一样都是混血,所以拉俄斯公民都有类似的自卑、排他和族群认同感,何况,他又将他们从奴役中解救出来,只要他善待民众,那么他们就会拥护他。所以尽管他向戴弗斯学习,自封为终身执政官,实际上拉俄斯的议事会只是摆设,更没有公民大会,大小事务都有阿维诺吉斯拍板决定,他是实实在在的僭主。 Kanos in this so-called city hall- was actually in the city main mansion saw Avinoges, this tall and powerfully built obese, appearance slightly fierce Laos archon also prepared the banquet unexpectedly, very warm to Kanos to the welcoming speech, inviting him to take a seat. 卡尼奥斯在这座所谓的市政厅-其实就是城主府邸里见到了阿维诺吉斯,这位身材魁梧肥胖、面相略显凶恶的拉俄斯执政官居然还准备了宴会,非常热情的对卡尼奥斯致欢迎辞,邀请他入席。 This makes this/Ben somewhat alert Kanos feel relieved, after he takes a seat, holds up the wineglass, to Avinoges entertained lavishly to express heartfelt thanks, then said: „Three years ago, I had come Laos, but this time, found that Laos changes is very big, particularly the trade unusual prosperity of harbor, Laos gains the freedom is more than one year, can obtain the so big merit, Sir archon made certainly many efforts!” 这让本有些戒备的卡尼奥斯放下心来,他入座之后,也举起葡萄酒杯,向阿维诺吉斯的盛情款待表示了由衷的感谢,然后说道:“三年前,我曾经来过拉俄斯,但这一次来,发现拉俄斯变化很大,尤其是港口的贸易非常的繁荣,拉俄斯获得自由才不过一年多,就能取得如此大的功绩,执政官大人对此一定付出了不少的努力吧！” The words of Kanos praise make Avinoges listen to be very comfortable, he laughs saying: „I take certainly the trouble a lot, but more should thank the Laos ally but to have, Laos in this union enjoyed many convenience!......” 卡尼奥斯赞美的话让阿维诺吉斯听着很舒服,他哈哈大笑道:“我当然没有少费心,但是更多的应该感谢拉俄斯的盟友但有,在这个同盟里拉俄斯享受了很多的便利！……” Kanos looking pensive is listening attentively. 卡尼奥斯若有所思的倾听着。 At this time, Avinoges asked: „Does Elliade this time send you to come is prepares to join the Theonia union?” 这时,阿维诺吉斯问道:“埃利亚这次派你来是准备加入戴奥尼亚同盟吗？” Kanos stares. By Elliade's situation, at this time Theonia, the discerning people can roughly guess correctly goal that they go abroad on a diplomatic mission, but Kanos has not thought that Avinoges asked directly, he put down the wine glass in hand, thinks, ambiguous saying: „Joins the union, adopts other treaty of alliance ways, but must to look that discussed the later result with Theonia.” 卡尼奥斯一愣。以埃利亚的处境、又在这时候来戴奥尼亚,明眼人都能大致猜到他们出使的目的,只是卡尼奥斯没想到阿维诺吉斯问得如此直接,他放下手中的酒杯,想了想,含糊的说道:“是加入同盟,还是采取其它的盟约方式,还得要看跟戴奥尼亚商议之后的结果。” Avinoges visits him, cracks into a smile: „Please forgive me to speak directly, perhaps by me the understanding Theonia, by the Elliade present strength, Theonia will not accept other treaty of alliance ways.” 阿维诺吉斯看着他,咧嘴一笑:“请原谅我说话直接,以我对戴奥尼亚的了解,以埃利亚如今的实力,恐怕戴奥尼亚不会接受其他的盟约方式。” This saying obviously was said Elliade strength was insufficient, when do not presumptuously think when will obtain a better treatment with the Theonia discussion. Kanos is somewhat awkward, lowers the head to drink, without speech. 这话明显是说埃利亚实力不够,就不要妄想在与戴奥尼亚会谈时会获得更好的待遇。卡尼奥斯有些尴尬,低头喝酒,没有说话。 Listens to Avinoges also saying: „I heard that your Elliade and Campania Greek city-state has the close communication, if Elliade and they have what treaty of alliance, perhaps Theonia has not been possible to accept Elliade to join the union, because it does not allow city-state in union to have any diplomatic relations with other city-state.” 就听阿维诺吉斯又说道:“我听说你们埃利亚与坎帕尼亚的希腊城邦有密切的来往,如果埃利亚与他们有什么盟约的话,戴奥尼亚恐怕还不一定会接受埃利亚加入同盟,因为它不允许同盟内的城邦与其他城邦有任何外交关系。” In the Kanos heart is somewhat surprised, he has not known that between Theonia and allied country really have this to stipulate: „Thank Sir archon reminder! Campania city-state rendered Elliade the assistance, but Elliade has not had the union agreement with any city-state.” Kanos reply without hesitation. 卡尼奥斯心中有些吃惊,他还不知道戴奥尼亚与盟邦之间竟然有此规定:“感谢执政官大人的提醒！坎帕尼亚的城邦是给予了埃利亚一些帮助,但是埃利亚没有与任何一个城邦有同盟协议。”卡尼奥斯毫不犹豫的回答。 In fact, headed by Naples and Kapuya Campania union did not agree to admit Elliade, because between Campania and Elliade are away from Samnium and Lucania two powerful races, Elliade strength is not strong, once becomes the union, only then Campania constantly helps Elliade's share, Elliade is very difficult is the Campania union makes the big contribution, how astute Greeks will always make this losing money business. Elliade can with the Campania trade, but has the demand mutually, can recruit the mercenary to resist the attack of Lucanians from Campania, that must pay money. 实际上,以那不勒斯、卡普亚为首的坎帕尼亚同盟一直不同意接纳埃利亚,因为坎帕尼亚与埃利亚之间隔着萨莫奈、卢卡尼亚两个强大的种族,埃利亚实力又不强,一旦成为同盟,只有坎帕尼亚不断帮助埃利亚的份儿,埃利亚却很难为坎帕尼亚同盟做出大的贡献,一向精明的希腊人怎么会做这种亏本的买卖。埃利亚能够与坎帕尼亚进行贸易,只是相互都有需求,能够从坎帕尼亚招募雇佣兵抵御卢卡尼亚人的进攻,那都是要付钱的。 „That was too good, makes Elliade join the Theonia union. By the Theonia prestige and strength, Lucanians again is not your troubles. Moreover Elliade and Laos as the port cities of Theonia union's only two Tyrrhenian seashore, later can collaborate, strengthens the trade the contact......” Avinoges exciting smiling, as if not cunning said own suggestion. “那就太好了,就让埃利亚加入戴奥尼亚同盟吧。以戴奥尼亚的信誉和实力,卢卡尼亚人不会再是你们的麻烦。而且埃利亚与拉俄斯作为戴奥尼亚同盟唯一的两个第勒尼安海边的海港城市,以后能相互合作,加强贸易的往来……”阿维诺吉斯兴奋的笑着,似乎毫无机心的说出自己的建议。 The Kanos hear, is at heart silent for a while, without seeing is advocating, how he can take a stand at will, therefore he puts aside the topic: „Sir archon has certainly seen archon Davos of Theonia alliance, what person is he?” 卡尼奥斯听在心里,一时默然,没见着正主,他又怎么能随意表态,于是他将话题移开:“执政官大人一定见过戴奥尼亚联盟的执政官戴弗斯吧,他是个什么样的人？” „Has seen repeatedly. Also has fought with him together shoulder to shoulder!” A pride of Avinoges face, he scratches liquor stain of clean mouth, solemn-looking saying: „Gives you an advice! Does not want, because he has the contempt young, he is a extraordinary person!” “见过多次。还跟他一起并肩战斗过！”阿维诺吉斯一脸的自豪,他擦干净嘴边的酒渍,神情庄重的说道:“给你一个忠告！千万不要因为他年轻而心存轻视,他是一个了不起的人！” Since Elliade must do with Theonia, has naturally also made an understanding of Theonia, the focus of nature investigation is Davos. The member of Elliade powwow has different opinions to him: What appreciation is his ability is outstanding, Theonia rises in such short time, cannot separate with his effort absolutely ; What is anxious is his status, unexpectedly is only lifelong archon , this lord Dionysius to have what difference from overstepping authority of Syracuse. 既然埃利亚要与戴奥尼亚打交道,自然也对戴奥尼亚做过一番了解,自然调查的焦点是戴弗斯。埃利亚议事会的成员对他褒贬不一:欣赏的是他能力超群,戴奥尼亚在这么短的时间崛起,绝对跟他的努力分不开;不安的是他的身份,居然是唯一的终身执政官,这跟锡拉库扎的僭主狄奥尼修斯有何差别。 Elliade and do Theonia cooperate to let a wolf into the fold? Then needs Kanos to make the judgment with his experience, the prosperity of Laos reduced his worry, but the Avinoges words increased his curiosity: Is this oversteps authority main to overstepping authority main admiration? 埃利亚与戴奥尼亚合作会不会引狼入室？则需要卡尼奥斯用他的所见所闻作出判断,拉俄斯的繁荣减少了他的担心,而阿维诺吉斯的话则增加了他的好奇:这是僭主对僭主的仰慕吗？ „Right, I can send you to Thurii tomorrow.” Avinoges said suddenly. “对了,明天我可以送你去图里伊。”阿维诺吉斯突然说道。 „Sir archon , receives your warm hospitality, I have thanked! How also dares again to make you deliver me personally, this will make me anxious!” Kanos is not only moved and tactful declining said. “执政官大人,受到你的盛情款待,我已经非常感谢了！又怎么敢再次让你亲自去送我,这样会让我不安的！”卡尼奥斯既感动又委婉的推辞道。 „Ha!......” Avinoges loud smiling: „You do not need to thank me, delivering you are only on the way. Temple of Hades in Thurii city completes, Theonia invited me to go to attend the ceremony!” “哈哈哈！……”阿维诺吉斯大声的笑着:“你不用感谢我,送你只是顺路。图里伊城内的哈迪斯神庙建成,戴奥尼亚邀请我前去观礼！” Ridiculing of Avinoges makes Kanos somewhat awkward, what he is more astonished was he speaks the words that: Temple of Hades?! 阿维诺吉斯的揶揄让卡尼奥斯有些尴尬,但他更惊异的是他说的话:哈迪斯神庙？！ ........................ …………………… Hears Heracleides to faint when Temple of Hades completion, moreover remains unconscious, Davos turns down all business immediately, rushes to his home. 听到赫拉克利德在哈迪斯神庙竣工时晕倒,而且昏迷不醒,戴弗斯立刻推掉所有的事务,迅速赶到他的家中。 Heracleides had awaked, but cannot move completely, eyes soulless partly opens the semi-closure, the mouth opens in a big way, chest rapid about fluctuating, just like the tattered bellower sends out gratingly „hu-hu” sound...... 赫拉克利德已经醒了,但就是完全不能动,双眼无神的半睁半闭,嘴张得大大的,胸膛急促的上下起伏,犹如破烂的风箱发出刺耳的“呼哧呼哧”的声响……
