Chapter 14 The Messenger of Bosphorus (Part 2)
Karabis stood cautiously at the intersection of Tegresetta, looking at the soldiers opposite him, holding jars and jars, and rushed out of a family. It was a coincidence that Hebrida and Safano were among them. Hebrida quickly looked at him, and Hebrida looked at him expressionlessly, and then led the soldiers to find the next target.
"Carabis, have the dirty soldiers in front left?" Behind him, Adiana, wearing a light green robe, lazily holding her cheek with her hands, sat in the pause of the sedan chair. Several coolie slaves were standing next to her. After Lukulas discounted the troop's trophy, he divided her and Nesa, each with a total of 10,000 drachma, and was allowed to make up.
After seeing Hebrida run away, Karabis turned around and nodded to everyone, saying that it was accessible. Although the Romans took over the city, the security in the city was not peaceful enough, and the soldiers were robbing everywhere, just like Hebrida. However, after all, it was thankful that they did not kill people randomly, so they just had to act cautiously and not get into trouble.
Finally, Karabis guided the sedan chair and walked through the huge and empty square. Doves were flying everywhere and stopped in front of a newly completed ornate amphitheater. This was originally a building invested by Tegranis, but now it belongs to the entire city, plus many musicians and actors who had no time to escape. Today, Lukulas generously donated to invite the army generals and the city dignitaries to watch the tragic performance of Euripides, and Adianna was also invited.
"You all retreat." Adiana got out of the sedan chair and ordered. When Karabis was about to take the rest of the people here, he heard the princess say, "Carbis, follow me and go in together."
Soon, Karabis, who was following the queen, felt the exquisite and incompetent Greek architecture. It was called an amphitheater, but it was actually a huge semicircle, connected to the corridor and stone pillars, and the entire theater faced an empty field, backed by natural hills and woods. It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the entire theater was breeze, and even the wind was adjusted to a very rhythmic rhythm. In conjunction with the gentle sunshine of early winter, walking in between, each pore was filled with moisture and warmth, extremely comfortable, and it was worthy of being the most representative cultural building in ancient Greece.
"Karabis, I can understand how surprised you are by civilization, but don't look around like a barbarian to expose your nature. Remember, your demeanor is closely related to me now, don't let me lose face in this city." Adiana frowned and scolded her unhappily when she saw Kaabis looking up with her mouth.
The entire amphitheater can accommodate 5,000 people to watch singing and opera. Each audience seat is accurately divided by the entrance, not much different from the current large stadium. At the entrance where Adiana walked into, Demethlius, who was responsible for welcoming the host, was "abandoned" by his former host, but Demethlius still showed the warmest welcome of the host Lukulas to the queen with a happy smile when he saw Adiana.
Adiana walked past the entrance without expression, which made Demethlius a little embarrassed. Karabis shook hands and punched Demethlius quickly and gently, and smiled encouragedly.
Secretly, Dmitryusse gave Karabis several pills, which should have a recovery effect on the minor injury to his right hand.
"Isn't this my dear niece? It is said that the performance was "Medea" today. I think it must be particularly suitable for your appetite." Over there, accompanied by Porty, Nessa wore heavy makeup, twisted her soft waist, and walked provocatively.
Karabis and Porti exchanged glances and lowered their heads. They were unwilling to annoy this narrow-tempered Adiana again.
"I think that when watching this great tragedy, my aunt, you are really not considering your outfit today. Look at this outfit that makes all males dress crazy. Maybe it's more suitable for you to be in the deep bed in the bedroom now." Adianna's words were like swords, and Naisa, who came in pleasure, returned in a desperate situation.
Then the two noble women, one sitting on the left of the third row of the golden gold and the other sitting on the far right. Karabis watched. The ten seats in the middle (the twelve seats in the row of the Greek theater) were empty and there was no one, and he looked like he was never in contact with each other.
Next, Lukulas came with the Roman generals wearing casual clothes and robes, and a group of citizens and nobles also came. After a brief greeting, several groups sat in the seat on the other side.
Finally, with a very restrained applause, the choir of Tegrasetta first appeared. The performance area of the amphitheater was at the "center of the circle", but it was divided into two parts: the "singing stage" used for the choir performance and the "stage" used for the actor performance, which was a raised piece.
When the choir sang, Karabis was shocked. He was excited. The sound of nature from two thousand years ago suddenly pierced his heart. The chants of these singers were completely without lyrics. They had pure natural sounds without any additional objects. From the first to the octave, sometimes light and sometimes majestic. What's even more wonderful is that Karabis could fully feel the ripples on the surface of the water, spreading to every corner of the theater seat along standard concentric circles.
Because in the depression under each seat, the engineers of the building theater have placed a small bronze urn, which can respond to different tones and make the sound perfect.
This extreme that modern people cannot enjoy at all made Karabis cover his mouth and almost shed tears. However, he was afraid that Adiana would be very dissatisfied with him, so he suppressed his emotions.
After the chorus, the performance of "Medea" was followed by the performance. The actors were wearing masks, wearing high heels, doing various stage moves, and vigorously interpreting the shocking tragedy. On the other hand, Telanian was constantly testing Lukulas' attitude towards Greek art while watching Greek opera. I was embarrassed that Karabis was extremely excited. Although Lukulas was proficient in Greek, he was obviously very despised and even a little sleepy.
As for warriors such as Sekdelius, Murila, they even looked restless and restless.
"Please be honest, your priest seems to have a love for opera, not as strong as we Greeks."
Luculas smiled apologetically and replied to Terranian: "That's because the Romans' growth process is different from you."
