At this time, the staff on the mid-spine platform began to get busy. They scooped water from the pools in the platform with buckets, and then poured water on the horses passing by...
"Why break the water to the horse?"
"That's because the body temperature of a horse will gradually rise during vigorous running. If the body temperature is too high for a long time to fall, the horse will get sick or even die... So pour water on the horse and help it cool down. Protect the horse from getting sick after the race."
"Oh, that's the case! Why is the animal in the middle of the circle numbered as a dolphin, not other animals? I like elephants and hippos."
"No, I prefer Aunt Eunice's black cat."
"That's because this arena is for racing or horse racing. The main object of competition is horses, and the **** Poseidon is the patron saint of horses. So who can tell me, what is Poseidon's animal messenger?"
"I know, I know, it's a dolphin!"
"By the way, it's a dolphin. The silver statue of a dolphin is used to mark the number of laps of racing cars and horses. I hope that I can be blessed by Poseidon and protect the participating horses. This is a good wish."
"Oh, it turned out to be like this! Uncle Apox, the Poseidon idol placed in the middle of the arena also hopes to protect the horse racing?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Is it also for this reason that I put the statue of Grandpa there?"
Apox, who was patiently answering the children's various questions like an encyclopedia, was stumped, but he wittily threw the question to his father: "Chris, should you ask your grandpa this question?"
Davos watched the game and listened to the chattering words of his children and grandchildren. At this moment, he did not have the majesty of a king at all. Instead, he looked like an old man enjoying the happiness of family, and said with a smile: "I don't know. Why, Chris, you have to ask your father, he is responsible for building this stadium."
Croto Kataks saw his father's intentions, and then jokingly said: "I don't know why, because the whole pattern of the ridge of the arena was designed by your uncle Alex, of course I approve it. Built."
When the children looked at Arex who was sitting next to Eunice with questioning eyes, the sculptor who was usually taciturn but spoke bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth said perfunctorily: "Children, you don’t Do you think this design looks good?"
When the children nodded and said yes, Antebris laughed and couldn't help but said: "Brother-in-law, you are usually so honest, but now you have learned to lie. You might as well just say that you are shooting like this. Dad's flattery."
Indeed, the composition and construction of the ridge of the entire arena looks very imposing, but the statue of Daves riding a sword is obviously larger than the statue of Poseidon, who is riding waves, and the position is higher, which gives the audience an impression. It feels like the descendants of Hades are more powerful than Poseidon, one of the three main gods.
"What nonsense!" Eunice's eyes widened, and she reached out and hit her brother on the back of the head.
"Mom, did you see it? Eunice hit me!" Antebris immediately complained to Christia.
"How old are you, and you are like a child, and you are not afraid of your children laughing!" Kristia scolded with a smile.
"Father, mother, and everyone...it's almost noon, so get hungry. Drink some water and eat something." Aksikus smiled and walked into the royal grandstand, followed by four slaves. All of them were holding silver plates in their hands, full of rich food.
"I said Aksikus, Ribazzo is responsible for preparing lunch, so don't follow the busy schedule, sit down and watch the game as a family." Kristonia kindly persuaded.
Aksikus smiled and said, "I can't help myself, help Ribazo--"
"Sit down!" Agnes gave him an impatient look.
"Huh!" Aksikus nodded and sat down quickly, facing this mother-in-law who hadn't talked much, he was always a little nervous.
When he sat down, he immediately held up a jar of slurry and handed it over: "Ivia, for you." ok作文网
Avia smiled and took it.
"Attention everyone, there is still the last half lap!" Antebris's shout again focused all the eyes of the royal family on the arena.

After turning the last corner, the Egyptian car was still at the forefront. Procris followed closely, and the two cars pulled away from the others.
There is a 500-meter straight ahead. The staff has already pulled up the red cloth strip at the finish line. The winner of this round will be selected among them.
Procris was anxious. He looked at the Egyptian car on the inner side. His car was still a horse head away from him.
The Egyptians are really too stable. Since the first lap until now, they have been in the first place and have never been surpassed, but Procris is not willing to give up: there is still the last half of the lap. when!
He raised his whip and hit the mare in the middle with a moderate force, while shouting: "Effela! Efila! Run! Run hard! Run!..."
It seemed that he understood what Procris had said. The beautiful mare trembles its slender neck and makes a crisp and sweet neigh. The tired four hooves move faster, and the decayed speed suddenly rises.
The stallions are also speeding up at the same time, and are vying to neigh, all wanting to show their strength in front of their beloved girl.
Procris's car was pulled hard by them, not only catching up with the Egyptian car, but also slightly surpassing it.
Upon seeing this, the Egyptian drivers also tried their best to speed up the car.
The two cars raced side by side on the wide track.
The enthusiasm of the audience also reached the peak, almost all of them stood up and danced, and the burst of cheers rose from wave to wave. This warm atmosphere not only injected great strength into the riders, but also the horses.
The horses hopped into the air with their four hooves, and the original soft mane and tail floated straight in the air. The sweat on the body was swaying around with the powerful contraction and relaxation of the muscles...
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Ariks once again reveled in front of the railing.
The distance of 500 meters is just a short moment for a full-speed Mercedes-Benz car.
too fast! When the two cars crossed the finish line, many spectators could not even tell who had won the victory until the field staff handed the flag of the Dionian Kingdom to Procris. He draped it and drove the carriage. As they walked slowly around the field, the audience clapped desperately for it: Can you not be extremely excited? Because the winner is Turiyi, who is the real one!
Procris waved his hands to the audience around him and laughed very happily. Although the racing competition is not over, he will participate in the next few days and may not even win the final championship, but at this moment he fully enjoys With his own glory.
…………………………………………………………………………
On July 15, the last day of the Dionian Games, according to the latest medal list announced by the preparatory group, Athens ranked first, and the second was the Arcadian League and Love, led by Mandinia. Liss tied for third place, the Turri region of the Kingdom of Dionian and the Piorcia Alliance led by Thebes. According to the rules set by the Dionian Games, in the finals of each event, three points are awarded for the championship, two points for the second place, and one point for the third place. The top three points of this medal list are also different. One or two points shows the fierce competition.
Athens can rank first in the expectation of many old spectators of sports games. After all, it has a long history of sports culture, a large enough population and abundant financial resources to cultivate outstanding sports talents. There is no lack of Athenians who won the championship. It is a veritable sports competitive power. This time it is eye-catching in the traditional competition at the Dionian Games, which is not surprising.
But it is another strong local sports competition in Greece-Sparta's performance is disappointing. They have only scored a poor two points so far, and it was once the best at competition-heavy races, even without ranking. obtain.
Of course, this is understandable. UU reading www.uukanshu.com because since Dionia conquered Sparta and rebuilt the new government, the new Spartan government has long been proud of the original Spartans during these five years. , And implemented for hundreds of years, the regime reformed by Lekugu was thrown into the garbage dump. Naturally, the military tradition of survival of the fittest from infancy to the youth that persisted in Spartan citizens’ long-standing military traditions was also cancelled. The former Spartan warriors either farmed in the fields or learned to sail and do business in the harbor. Their physical stamina and skills have been abandoned and they can't compete with the strong players.
Instead of Spartan and monopolizing the heavy-duty race, it is naturally the players of the Dionian Kingdom. Not only are they in the heavy-duty race, these Dionians also include the top five newly created military events. 8 people, and also showed strong advantages in archery, javelin, horse riding, car racing, and rowing racing, which attracted the attention of the invited envoys of friendly cities and forces, because these competitions are closely related to the military From this aspect, it is possible to show the power of Dionian military power.
There is still the last event left in the Dionian Games-the marathon. At the beginning, the preparatory team for the sports meeting had a lot of controversy when setting the marathon route.
