Extra: Ancient Roman Olympics
"Ambassador Herodian, I didn't expect we would meet once." Liu Tong had a good impression of the guy who brought her a lot of gifts every time when Herodian was an ambassador. Therefore, after Herodian came to the Han Dynasty again, Liu Tong rarely met at the court meeting, and Herodian also gave Liu Tong a lot of gifts with grace.
"I've seen His Highness the Princess." Herodian bent his arms and gave a half-body salute, and then presented the gift list and documents, "I'd like to ask your highness to take a look."
Herodian came here just to invite the Han Dynasty to participate in the sports meeting. After Rome entered a new era, it had not started the Olympic Games for a long time. As a Roman who inherited the Aegean civilization and possessed Greek heritage, he was still a little interested in this sports meeting that had been passed down from ancient Greece.
Therefore, after dealing with internal incidents, Severus decided to hold a sports meeting. Although Pompianus fell ill after receiving Severus' plan, it was not only Pompianus who could work these days, but his son Pompani could also work.
So Severus asked someone to carry Pompianus away and asked Pompani to host the Olympics.
However, as one of the current beacons in the world, it is very boring to play the Olympics alone. If you want to play, you can play bigger, so Severu decided to invite the Han Dynasty and Kushan to participate in the Olympics. Anyway, aren’t you okay recently? Haven’t you started fighting?
"Olympic Games?" After reading the book of the country, Liu Tong looked at Herodian in confusion what this thing was.
Herodian began to explain in detail in the Han Dynasty court. A group of people were amazed and finally decided to participate. However, after participating, the Han Dynasty generals felt that the sports events in Rome were not interesting enough and needed to add several interesting events.
Herodian expressed his understanding of this, which is of course acceptable. Since the Rahan House and Kushan participated in the Olympic Games together, of course, they had to adjust the rules and be compatible with the advantages of the three parties. Otherwise, it would be boring to play alone.
"Wait, why are there any sports like the arena and tiger and leopard fighting? This is also considered a sports?" Liu Tong looked through the contents of the sports meeting and frowned repeatedly. This is a bit bloody and violent. Although it is very exciting, it cannot be like this. It is said that it is a sports.
"These are all comprehensive adjustments." Herodian said very generously
Anyway, it’s just that the Han Dynasty is the main reason why it’s too boring to play alone. Although Rome is a great empire, it can also bring together more than a hundred provinces, but everyone knows who can do it. It’s really impossible to satisfy the gambling dog’s gambler, so it’s brought to the Han Dynasty to play together.
"That's OK, I'll arrange a professional." Liu Tong expressed his satisfaction, and then asked someone to transfer the letter of the country to Chen Xi, and Chen Xi started to conceive after receiving it.
"Football, there must be football. Football is the favorite sport of mankind. This is hope for rushing out of Asia and rushing to the world! No matter what Olympiad, football is the right way!" Chen Xi took the letter of the country from Liu Tong and returned to the Zhengyuan to study which sports to arrange for Rome. Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang rode on their way.
"Yes, yes, football must be needed. With football, our Han Dynasty royal family supports it!" When Liu Ye stood up and was about to deny Yuan Shu, the gambling dog, Liu Zhang directly pressed Liu Ye aside, shut up, don't speak, there must be football.
"Okay, the question is, are you football? Do you have detailed rules for your thing?" Chen Xi looked at the two of them speechlessly, and thought that they all knew why these two things were pushing football so hard, betting on dogs!
Football can't be said to bring the world's largest legal gambling dog, at least a large number of them. As the boss of the Heizhuang, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, of course, would not miss this opportunity. After receiving the news, they immediately ran out of the double room of the imperial prison to promote the world-wideization of football.
"No problem, the rules of our football are very simple. As long as you don't attack the referee, you can do it first, and you can also beat the referee." Yuan Shu said very loudly.
"This..." Chen Xi looked at the two of them speechlessly. This is OK. Anyway, there are doctors next to the competition of this level. In addition, human qualities are really good these days. Without cloud control, they are not easy to be beaten to death. Even if they have broken arms and legs, they can be handled quickly.
"No, we still have professionals. Gongfeng, please book us a relatively excellent football rule that is convenient for promoting the world. Whether we can make a big profit this time depends on whether football can rush into the world." Yuan Shu snapped his fingers, and the royal gold medal suit stick Manwei appeared directly.
Chen Xi had nothing to say, Man Wei began to deduct the rules on the spot, preparing to make a rule that seemed reasonable and could be implemented. Then Man Chong turned into a right-level supervisor with the Tingwei.
"Trag them back to the imperial prison." Man Chong said to the right supervisor of Tingwei with a expressionless face, "The crime of escape from prison is more than the first level, and put them in shackles."
Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang were dragged away in a mess, leaving Man Wei to compose the rules on the spot. Man Chong gave his eldest son a fierce look and left.
"You won't really choose football, right?" After Man Wei wrote down the rules and left, Liu Ye said with a headache.
"It's a good sports, why not choose?" Chen Xi waved his hand and said.
"This thing can easily lead to gambling." Liu Ye sighed and said, "If you want me to say, you should choose something else."
Chen Xi refused, Liu Ye was helpless. He always felt that something would happen to football, but Liu Ye didn't know that football was already a relatively normal sport.
Because a few days later, Sansha from the Pamirs recommended a new sport called the survival long-distance running around the Arctic extreme ice domain in the name of Lehou.
Of course, this sport was blocked by Chen Xi, but the popularity of Sansha was extremely terrifying. They told Garnasis, the duke of the eastern border county next door to Rome, the commander of the Third Eagle Flag Legion, and the tenth knight. Then Rome sent a note saying that the long-distance running around the Arctic Ice Domain was very good, and in short, it highlighted that one was not afraid of death.
Are you afraid of the third eagle flag? It’s just the Arctic Circle, which makes me seem to have never been there before. The giant turns into a long legs, who is afraid of whom!
Are the tenth knights afraid? The invincible tenth knights said that I could finish riding on the thirteen roses! So the event was forcibly passed by the organizer.
Originally, it’s just that no one participated. The problem is that there are many people who are not cowardly. What is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who once worked in the Arctic Extreme Ice Domain and had a strong survival ability in the wild? Is this a look down on our Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry? Participate!
We Slavs are the king of ice and snow, participate!
We Inuits are the real kings of ice and snow, what are Slavics, slaps, participate!
We are invincible in the snow and ice, and the Arctic is our home, so join us!
Our Twenty Eagle Flag is invincible, and the extreme cold is a hammer. We can shine and heat ourselves. We can participate in the game of the brave!
So this event was so fatal that there were tens of thousands of people who didn't know how to live or die. Chen Xi had no choice. In addition, the organizer had already passed, so Chen Xi passed it.
However, this has not ended. After this sport appeared, Hua Xiong next door was dissatisfied and proposed that Qiaogoli Peak be 8,000 meters, the ultimate alpine skiing, without tracks, and without skateboard mode!
If the last game can be considered a brave one, this is simply seeking death. However, Hua Xiong proposed to pass it because there are too many people who want to participate.
Isn’t it just alpine skiing? I am a white horse flying, so I will participate!
Can you fly above? I can see you flying, so can I. My Fourteen Eagle Flag is not inferior to others. If you participate, you can fly!
You can fly so much? My Valkyrie Legion’s floating step ability beyond the limit will let you see what is real speed skating! Who is afraid of whom when participating?
At this time, Chen Xi already felt that this exercise might be a little bad.
However, at this time, Gan Ning, who capsized countless times in the Pacific Ocean and was chased by sharks, suggested that everyone remember to carry a blood bag in the Pacific Rim swimming competition.
I don’t know how to describe this, it’s even more so than seeking death. Chen Xi rejected it, but Rome received Gan Ning’s sports proposal, changed the difficulty and turned into a swim around the Mediterranean, without equipment, and it was just a circle around the Mediterranean.
There were so many people participating, so many that they exploded. Even people like Zang Ba participated, because after carefully studying the rules, Zang Ba found that walking over the water was considered swimming. This was a big victory. Swimming could not be done by you, but we can run on the water!
What, do you say I don’t have the ability to pass through the terrain? Ah, I have forgotten that as long as I forget this fact, I can run around the water.
Later, there were horse racing, sprinting, and archery. Due to too many small sports, Rome integrated into a series of activities. The Han Dynasty called it the Gentleman Six Arts Hunting Competition. Cheng Yu took off his clothes and said that no one who was called Gentleman Six Arts could tolerate it and was determined to participate.
So the rules of this thing were changed to riding a horse first, driving a car, then shooting archery and hunting, and finally fighting a chariot and sword. The Romans expressed their acceptance, and Chen Xi was naturally irresistible. In addition to some boxing sports participated by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Alessandro and others, Chen Xi had already felt that this Olympic Games was full of all kinds of atmospheres that were about to be finished.
Based on this situation, Chen Xi thought about it and finally decided to add a few regular sports, table tennis, tennis, and basketball. Although Chen Xi was not very clear about the rules, it was roughly the same, and these should be fine.
In this way, the Olympic Games of Rome began. In order to make the game interesting enough, Rome said that they also invited other teams, such as the Evil God Team and the Ancient God Team.
