Carabis made Piece get what he wished. Pulaima's villa was completed before the Second Goddess Festival. This also means that Carabis had come to Rome for two years. At this time, the entire city of Rome became nervous and busy, because in January of the following year, it was the month of the consul's election that the Romans were most concerned about. Many nobles began to openly canvass the election of votes, or participate in various dinner salons, forming dazzling and fragile political alliances. As for the streets and alleys outside the square, various private transactions, bribery and even assassinations, there were endless.

So when Luculas decided to have a banquet in the most luxurious Apollo Hall in the newly-constructed mansion, almost all the leading figures in the city of Rome actively wanted to be invited.

Five days before the banquet, the first person to celebrate alone was Telangen, who had already established his position as rhetoric in Rome. Lukulas warmly received him in a private library, and Karabis was also accompanied.

"Oh, this is a place that is gorgeous and condenses knowledge and wisdom - Oh, this is citron wood. I once saw a whole piece of 20 Roman rulers in circumference. I was going to buy it to let the most famous carpenter build a desk for me, but after I asked the price, I realized that I could not afford it." Telanyan held wine and lay on the couch face to face with Lukulas. He first praised the place, and then smiled bitterly to himself. There were busy copyists who either copied texts or carefully returned rolls of velvet paper to the bookcase, and tied them with silk ribbons on the text as labels.

Karabis stood by the bedside of the host and guest, thinking that the old guy Tellanion, now earns at least 100,000 to 200,000 drachma a year, he can't afford the whole piece of citron wood. It can be seen that this thing is so expensive! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about his own affairs: this year, the money he got was already fat enough in the Kitchen Temple and Pulaima. He and Porti had already started building a small villa in a beautiful mountain called Apiron on the outskirts of the city. He was still looking for Milu and Pope, and he packed 10,000 drachma a lot. Milu patted his chest and said, "You will definitely satisfy Karabis."

At that time, if you can't afford citron wood, just use maple wood to create my room.

"By the way, aren't you going to write a comparative work of the two ethnic groups of Greece and Rome? How about it? Have you started writing?" Lukulas put the wine glass on the small table and asked.

"Yes, I have written a few volumes. I am here to visit you today, and there are factors in this regard - I hope to read some of the war history of Roman city-states, and I happened to hear that you are a good player. How about you, can you lend me a copy of your book "The History of the Marsian War"?"

Luculas smiled gracefully and said he was happy, and then Terranian started to "get more and more" again. He complained that the price of the Greek scriber in Rome was too outrageous. He actually needed fifty drachers a day for copying by one person, and one skilled or beautifully written, and then he blew indirectly, meaning that he could lend him two of his scriber for free.

"Oh, Karabis, I remember you read and write Greek." Lukulas asked as if he remembered something.

What, would you ask me to be a free copyist for Terranian? But before Karabis could say anything, the Greek rhetoric said with great praise that Karabis is a very suitable candidate. He is familiar with me and Lukulas. It is perfect for him to help me copy this excellent military work - of course, Karabis, who is I, Terranian, will not let you do it in vain. You can assist in this work in your spare time in the Kitchen Temple. I pay you thirty Drachmas every day.

"I don't care about this amount of money now." But Karabis still had a happy expression on his face and said, "Just leave it to me!"

At this time, a stupid servant almost knocked the bronze lamp over when he came up with a dish with sweet sauce. Telangen joked that he didn't expect that there were original savages in your courtyard. This made Lukuras feel embarrassed. Just as the official was about to come forward to teach this clumsy servant a lesson, Karabis realized that this guy was Timothus.

Poor Timothus could have been able to fight in the kitchen, but now he has become a slave to serve vegetables, and Karabis feels a little sad.

"I should throw you into the fish pond and feed you eels!" The official raised his hand and acted as if he wanted to beat Timoxiu, and intimidated.

"Stop!" Karabis said to the official house, stopping his behavior. Then he bowed politely to Master Pie and asked why a doctor as outstanding as Timothus did not let him be responsible for the herbal management of Master Pie and Marcos. Lukuras expressed a little embarrassed expression and said to Karabis: "Dear, not every slave and free people can understand interpersonal relationships as you do. Timothus, when he entered my mansion, everyone realized that he could only refine snake venom or control knife. He did not understand herbal medicine for calming the mind and strengthening the brain. In addition, he has always been unable to get along well with the manager. Yes, I am also very worried about his stay or leave."

Stay or not? Is Lukuras going to sell Timoxiu? Then according to the current situation, Timoxiu's whereabouts should be very miserable.

"Master, if you want, I can pay to turn Temoshu into a free man, and I can also help him open a clinic in Rome. Maybe he is there, which will bring you greater benefits, just like me." Calabis sincerely suggested.

Lukuras nodded, and after drinking a sip of wine, he said that Karabis is not needed to pay the ransom for Timothu. I will liberate this Scythian immediately, but the benefits of the clinic must be Karabis, and it has nothing to do with me.

When saying goodbye, Lukulas sincerely invited Telanyan to attend his banquet on the Day of the Goddess of the World. Many nobles hope that scholars like you will come, which will be of great benefit to your career, but Telanyan refused politely: "Everyone knows that the election of the two consuls next year will be at the last and most intense moment. This banquet must be full of vortexes like gladiators. I am afraid no one will be interested in rhetoric. As a foreign free citizen, it is better to stay out of it." After saying that, he left.

Karabis carried a string of bronze tubes containing books, containing Lukuras's book "The History of the Marsians", and also a "History of the War of Iberia" that he completed halfway. The former describes the "War of the Allies" that broke out twenty-five years ago, that is, the Latin alliance on the Apennine Peninsula united to fight against the city of Rome, with the purpose of obtaining equal rights and citizenship; the latter describes the war between the remaining Mallorian tribes of Spain ten years ago, against the Sula party. It is said that Lukuras is also preparing to start writing "The War of Mitradati" by Xiaoya. If all three of them are completed, it can be said that his contribution to the history of Rome is great.
Chapter completed!
