"Unless the tabernacle of the king collapsed, we cannot be considered to have defeated them." - The Battle of Saladin at Harding.

In the palace of Nicomedia after night, there was a small quiet restaurant full of luxurious murals and potted plants. The hostess Adiana was in a very good mood. Euerget's seat was next to her, and Li Bida was on the other side of her. When the servant kept putting up fine wine and food, he had a meal with her husband and children. Adiana couldn't help but feel a sense of joy. She had grown up in the court of Sinop since she was a child and had never had family affection or trust. Until this moment, she could say, "This is my man, and this is my child with him, Ubertnia, no, the territory and authority of the Bendu Empire were finally rebuilt through my hands."

Over there, Spences was wearing an elegant robe and sat respectfully on the couch with his side. After the hostess' permission, he would take the meal plate from his servant.

When I was drunk, Li Bida suddenly put down his glass and suggested to everyone, "To be honest, I'm already tired of the Latin banquet mode. Always musicians and waiters come and go, full of meaningless noise and long flow. So, my dear Karabiya, I have a novel thing from Seris, which I brought from the previous city of Rome. ︽n You are the first to go through the purpose. May I ask my dear Karabiya, are you interested?"

Queen Eubertnia smiled like a flower, butterfly sleeves together said. "Maybe you can take it out. The banquet can end here anyway. Because there are not many guests, we can use Cyris' novel toys to dissipate the night."

Li Bida snapped his fingers, and Mattia behind him immediately held a small enamel box, "No, the meal in the middle is not big enough, come on a big one." As soon as Li Bida finished speaking, several waiters quickly brought another big side table over, "Yes. Now I will also invite the respectable Spencers to join this game. We each use a small couch to sit around this side table in four directions."

These words made the palace teacher flattered again. Then, after sitting according to the arrangement of the high priest, Mathia opened the box and rolled out more than a hundred squares made of crystal clear ivory from it. Adianna took out one of them, but saw that the front was still engraved with a pattern.

"Hey, there are still dices. Isn't this just gambling?" When she picked up the dice again, she looked a little uninterested.

"No, mother. We can each take some prizes, anyway, as long as my father is happy." On the other side, Eagit reminded with understanding.

"What's this blog called?" Adiana asked.

"montanus, Montanus!" Li Bida replied seriously.

"Isn't that a sparrow? What a vulgar name." Adiana murmured in a low voice.

"It's definitely not as simple as Latin gambling or sparrows. That's nothing fun at all, but this is different!" Li Bida introduced in a deep voice, and then he raised one of the ivory blocks. "This is a game of four people. I now occupy the position of the Lord God, so just call me 'Jupiter'. If I win, you three will need to give me gambling money; and Adianna sits in the 'Juno position, Eagit sits in the 'Apollo', and Spencers sits in the 'Nepton'. If any of you three wins, I will also have to pay double the gambling money."

"But, how should this be done?"

With this question, Li Bida skillfully built a row of "Montanus" into a double-layer wall. The speed was so fast that Adianna and his son and Spencers were both dumbfounded. "There are 136 Montanus in total. The four of us surrounded them in all directions, similar to the winter camp of the Roman Legion, fast." So the other three could only temporarily suppress their doubts in their hearts, and became so clumsy that they became busy.

After finally getting the base, Li Bida then clamped several Montanus with his fingers and raised them up. "Look carefully, Montanus's cards are divided into four types, one is "arrow", one is "helmet", and the other is "shot put", and then each has four pieces at the same time, from one to nine, among which the first arrow is made into a "peacock" to please the queen of the queen Juno; the last card is more special, and there are seven types, called "centurion card", including "Macedonian Imperial Battalion Commander", "Roman Centurion", "Celtic Chief",

The Germanic Chief, the Egyptian Pharaoh, and the Persian Chief. I will roll the dice immediately after the game starts, and then in order, each person takes turns to grab Montanus, and line up in front of him. When the twelfth card is reached, I will jump the card, and you will take one in order, and finally I will be my fourteen Montanus, and all three of you are thirteen. Then I will play the cards, and then there are three modes. You can constantly touch the rest of the Montanus, or eat the Montanus of other players, that is, 'arrangement', 'take a step', 'rest'."

"How can you win in the end?"

"It's very simple." Li Bida crossed his hands and placed it on his chin. "I'll explain the way to win, which is divided into many types."

Adianna and Euergeit were both extremely smart people and soon understood the winning rules set by the high priest. Only Spencers looked a little pale and was still struggling to catch up with Li Bida's pace.

"Of course, there are a series of terms here. I need to declare - if you are still short of Montanus to win, you shout poi; if you have already won, you shout gia; and if you touch Montanus yourself and lead to winning, you can shout dio!" Li Bida continued to say seriously, and Adiana next to her was really practicing "poi, poi" there.

At this point, the high priest looked at the palace teacher and laughed mysteriously, "I will ask Matthia to score the score behind him. In the end, the one with the highest score is the real Jupiter. He has the right to punish the one with the lowest score."

The servants around them laughed softly, thinking that the game was really interesting, but in their hearts, the so-called "punishment" should be some small money or some ridiculous clown-like behavior, just like the Goddess of the Governors.

Only Spencers recalled the scene next to the stream this afternoon, and his fingers trembled a little when he was touching Montanus.

"Dear friends, you can also come up and stand behind any god engaged in the Montanus War to watch the battle, but it is not verbal." Li Bida waved his hand, and the servants indeed surrounded him.

In the first game, after touching Montanus, Adiana looked carefully, then shouted "dio!" and spread out all Montanus, "Do I have a group of 'Macedonian Battalion Commanders' who will play, and then they are completely 'shot put', and I am dio'."

"Very good, dear Adiana, your score is very high, this is called 'mixed color'." It's really hard for the high priest to force this "mixed color" in Latin. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
