MTL - Inside and Outside World-Chapter 59 : a good start
Sacrifice activities are very boring for a modern person-if Yan Luo has emotions, in fact he doesn't, so he won't feel impatient.
Its program includes the speech of the chief priest, a group of 13-15-year-old Zhengtai singing songs in praise of the gods, and offering a beautiful cow to Zeus. This is because, according to legend, the king of Mount Olympus turned into a bull and combined with the Phoenician princess Europa, which is also the source of the name "Europe".
From morning to noon, someone came to distribute food. Yan Luo took a piece of wheat cake and ate it with water.
Unlike the "Bacchanalia" festival, the theme of that festival is carnival, and everyone here must be solemn. In the afternoon, a number of athletes sat quietly in front of the main hall of the Temple of Zeus, comprehending the greatness of the gods, while some were talking in low voices.
During this period of time, the stored emotion value of the Wuxin puppet reached 100 points.
The types are very miscellaneous and they are not 10 points per share. Yan Luo didn't care about the fusion, and of course failed, and got 5% of the heroic soul mask fragments.
After the sacrificial activities, the athletes will live in a fixed place for 5 days from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony.
Every city-state athlete lived together, but Yan Luo was actually assigned a separate room-he didn't understand why he had the privilege. Soon, a priest brought Wang Dongwei.
"It finally worked."
Wang Dongwei, who came here, looked a bit sad. He found the Olympic priests and paid the silver coins he found from the corpses of the mercenaries: a talent, which is equivalent to 34 kilograms of silver, a Persian scimitar inlaid with gold, Add to that a modern textiles outfit and the final...
The priests respect the customs of Chinese civilization and allow three-person underwear competitions.
Of course, the bigger reason was what happened in Athens. The battle of words finally spread to the city-state of Olympia.
Money + fame can be regarded as a privilege.
After telling this information, Wang Dongwei left.
The next day, the sun came up.
A referee sent two things.
A small wooden box of olive oil, and a long strip of white linen.
Linen is used as underwear, and olive oil is applied on the skin before the game to enhance the reflection of the surface to make the muscle lines more obvious, and even create some shadow effects to enhance the three-dimensional effect.
After taking off the robe, he put olive oil on his body. His whole body was like that of a bodybuilder in some competitions in the watch world. His skin was greasy and gleaming, and then he wrapped it in linen.
Olympic stadium.
This site is near the Temple of Zeus, at the bottom of the foothills of Knys - the hillside is a natural stand. Yan Luo walked into the stadium and raised his head, and saw the dense crowd of people—he saw Wang Dongwei and Zhu Xiaoyong at a glance.
The two were sitting in the VIP seats.
The grandstand can accommodate about 24,000 people, and there are 160 VIP seats directly in front.
Yesterday was just the opening ceremony. Today is the second day of the Olympic Games. On the first day of the competition, the ceremony of lighting the Olympic flame from the Zeus altar on the sports field will be held first.
Then, there is the first game.
Strictly speaking, the current Olympic Games has a total of seven events, but horse racing and chariot racing are performances, held on the fourth day, and the only things that really attract athletes are running, boxing, wrestling, mixed fighting and pentathlon .
Today is the second day of the Olympic Games, the events held are:
Pentathlon.
This category includes sprinting, long jump, discus throwing, javelin throwing, and wrestling. After each item is completed, the winners enter the next item. Only when each item is at the forefront can they be in the last item. Get the ultimate champion.
It is worth mentioning that discus throwing and javelin throwing often cause accidents due to lack of safety protection measures.
For example, throwing a discus to kill a person, and throwing a javelin to kill a person.
However, the Greeks believed that the athletes participating in the competition were the best fighters in each city-state. If they couldn't even avoid the discus and javelin thrown by others, they would deserve it if they died.
In other sports, no matter melee, boxing, or horse racing and chariot racing, there are often dead people. In the competition, it is "reasonable" to kill others by mistake. To some extent, this is similar to the future Roman gladiatorial sports. .
This is why Cornelu, Arcadia's number one warrior, asked Yan Luo to wait in the wrestling match.
For the pentathlon, the order of competition is:
Discus, long jump, javelin, sprint, wrestling.
Wrestling is the most important one, and only winning in this one is the champion of pentathlon.
The Greeks believed that the champion of the five sports should not only be a fighter who can run and jump well, but also have the ability to fight and a fit body. Only wrestling can best reflect the training results of an athlete , and athletic ability.
There are not many athletes participating in this event, because five consecutive games consume too much energy, which will affect tomorrow's more important running, boxing, wrestling, and fighting.
Yan Luo signed up for all the events. When he, as one of the pentathlon athletes, was led by the referee and walked to the competition field, in an instant, the praise and cheers from the entire stands almost merged into a wave Big waves.
"You hit the milestone: Olympic Games."
"You have earned a title: Athlete."
After wearing this title, you can specify a "sport" that you are good at, such as running, long jump, etc., and the corresponding attributes during exercise become 1.1 times the original. If you choose to run, it is equivalent to wearing the title, and the running speed will be permanently increased by 10% proportionally.
It's a pity that Yan Luo already has the title of Bronze-ranked Warrior, so he can only give up if he chooses one or the other.
In the Olympic Games, audiences, the first thing they appreciate is the athlete's fit figure. Yan Luo's figure has made many people crazy in Athens. Now, olive oil is applied on the body surface, and the sun shines very **** and greasy.
"It's Yan Luo!"
Wang Dongwei, Zhu Xiaoyong and the sages in Athens discovered him. After all, among the more than 30 athletes participating in the pentathlon, he stands out from the crowd.
The reason is very simple, everyone else is naked, only he is wearing a loincloth... Some viewers talked about it curiously after seeing it, the exquisite appearance, like the original 14th Olympic Games, wearing a loincloth!
Where the **** is this person?
"Come on!" Two teammates shouted in Chinese.
Hearing the sound, Yan Luo put on his hair, set his mask of joy, anger, sorrow and joy to "joy", then smiled in the direction of the stands, and suddenly...even if the audience were all men, many people's hearts were beating.
"Just like a goblin."
In ancient Greece, there were legends of goblins, such as the beautiful sea goblin siren. According to legend, the siren has a coquettish face and a charming singing voice. Yan Luo only wears a loincloth, and his streamlined muscles are smeared with olive oil. Fresh, elegant, beautiful and charming like a fairy coming out of the forest.
Fairy of the Forest!
Amidst the cheers and the fanatical atmosphere, Yan Luo stood quietly on the field, waiting for the referee to call, and soon it was his turn.
There is not much difference between the discus and the future here. The famous statue of the discus thrower is the work of the sculptor Myron during this period.
Myron is a very characteristic person. In addition to being a sculptor, he has also won six Olympic champions!
He once carried a calf to the stadium and ate it in one day~www.novelbuddy.com~died about 10 years ago because he saw a gap in the middle of a tree and was idle It's okay, I inserted my hands into the cracks of the tree, trying to break the tree in half, but my hands got stuck.
That night, a wolf came, his hand got stuck, and the Olympic champion, sculptor, and even a politician: General Sebalis, the legendary figure, was eaten by the wolf...
Yan Luo took the discus from the referee. It was made of copper and weighed only about 2kg. It felt very light in his hand. After all, the Beaulieu Cudgel he fought with weighed 62 kilograms!
Thinking of the action of throwing a discus that he had seen on TV, Yan Luo held the discus with his right hand and swung it back and forth on the side of his body to gather strength. After swinging back and forth a few times, the right leg kicked off the ground suddenly, and the upper body turned to the left. With the heel of the left foot as the axis, the force drove myself to rotate three times.
Regardless of the Olympic priests, referees, or spectators in the stands, in this era, no one has ever seen such a discus throwing action! Yan Luo's graceful and handsome posture caused a burst of exclamation, and the spinning figure seemed to be dancing in the sun!
With the help of this whirling centrifugal force, Yan Luo's right hand moved forward, and the discus flew out!
"Oh…"
There was a lot of amazement in the stands, and the trajectory of the discus flying out, no matter the arc or the height, was perfect to the extreme! Obviously, this is a strong throw!
However, the direction of the discus throw...
"what!"
With a scream, the eyes of the audience were fixed on the place where the discus fell, and there were bursts of inhalation sounds like toothaches. At the VIP seat, there was a muscular man wearing only underwear and a red cape, holding a king's scepter, with his eyes wide open, lying motionless on the ground, with a discus stuck on his forehead.
