This is a tall young man - or rather, a man around thirty years old.
He has short blond hair, a resolute face, well-proportioned and slender limbs, and possesses extraordinary human strength.
This person... as a human being, has very good qualities in all aspects.
But he is certainly no match for Alice. Although Alice's arms are thin now, her real strength is hundreds or thousands of times that of a pure human.
Su Yun nodded politely to the man, but the man continued to stare at his face, with an expression of shock and amazement that was not concealed at all.
Did I make a mistake again this time? Su Yun was a little puzzled, but just as he was thinking this, the person in front of him suddenly lowered his head: "I'm sorry! Please forgive my rudeness!"
Alice hummed softly.
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah... That's great. This person hasn't lost his mind yet. He's just in a normal daze. It seems like he's much better after this adjustment.
Su Yun could still accept this level of reaction. After all, his eyes were now silver, and he was the God of War. No matter who saw him, they would subconsciously take a few more glances, right?
So Su Yun smiled and said, "It's okay...Are you a student here?"
"Everyone in the academy is a child who pursues the truth." Periander took a deep breath. His mind was full of confusion and he didn't know what to say, so he stupidly brought up a topic, "Lord Apion is giving his speech, don't you want to go and listen?"
"Apion? Which old man?" Su Yun was stunned, "But I think what he said is wrong."
Periander was surprised and said: "You also think we should not disarm?"
For the future of this city-state, disarmament is certainly not necessary, but this has nothing to do with Su Yun - this is something Jasmine has to arrange.
Su Yun said casually: "War will start again, right? There is no need to disarm."
"Yes! You are right!" Periander's eyes lit up. "The Achaemenids are a barbaric and powerful empire. They will not stop plundering the rich. They are too short-sighted, just like frogs in the field!"
"...Our city-state is facing a crisis!" Periander felt something boiling in his veins. He couldn't help wanting to talk to the young man in front of him just by looking at him. He was usually known for his eloquence, but at this moment he could only narrate dryly.
--simple
He is as impulsive and unstable as if he were ten years younger.
Su Yun looked at the local resident in front of him in some astonishment. He never expected that the old man over there was giving a speech and the one here also started.
The academic atmosphere of this civilization is very strong. Can you start a debate with a stranger?
Alice had long disliked this human being. His eyes were almost fixed on the Father God, and he was full of nonsense.
"Master, let's go." Alice stretched out her hand and took Su Yun's arm. "Shall we go take a look at the library here?"
This proposal was something Su Yun couldn't refuse, so he subconsciously agreed to it: "Okay."
Periander looked at the young man's arm being held in front of him, and he choked on the words he wanted to say. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this young man... your lover?"
Lovers? This civilization is quite tolerant of emotions between men.
Su Yun recalled the character that Jasmine had worked so hard to create; "No... he is my brother."
Periander immediately understood - it turned out that this handsome young man was also a branch of Syracuse, and like his master, he had rarely appeared in public in the past few years.
So what role does this young man play in this family? A future follower of the master? An accomplice of the "housekeeper"? A hopeless admirer?
Reason gradually returned to Periander's mind and urged him on together with his instinct.
Periander: "Shall I take you to the library? I am familiar with the terrain here."

Su Yun did not refuse the man's request. He took Alice and followed their new friend down the stone building.
The man never stopped talking, but his voice was deep and pleasant, and his words were quite interesting, so Su Yun listened carefully and agreed with him.
Soon Su Yun knew his identity. This man named Periander was not only a student here, but also the son of the tyrant of Potidaea.
It turns out that the tyrant came from the common people. What an interesting social division of labor.
Su Yun was very low-key when he came, and he went directly up the building through the path, but he was no longer calm when he left the building.
Periander's position in the Academy is very peculiar. After all, he is the son of a civilian tyrant and is born with a stance. People from different classes have completely opposite perceptions of him.
Among the younger generation, the ratio of those who supported him to those who opposed him was about 30:70, and the 30% of them were all young people from the aristocratic class.
But in any case, Periander is considered a celebrity in the academy, and he has been very popular recently.
In the debate on the issue of globalization, he attracted people's attention as soon as he appeared, but then, all eyes moved behind him without exception.
Periander knew what they were looking at, and at this moment he felt an inexplicable sense of pride and superiority, as well as a hint of suspicion.
Even if he defeated his old enemy, he would not feel this way.
The three of them passed through the sparse crowd and arrived at the small square where the lecture was held. The silence that Su Yun was most familiar with spread among the crowd. When they first saw them, almost everyone was quiet, until they passed by them, only then did they hear low exclamations and discussions.
Su Yun heard "Syracuse" vibrating on different vocal cords.
The color of his eyes now is indeed too conspicuous.
The old man on the podium had already stopped his appeal. The moment he saw Su Yun's face clearly, he immediately came down the stairs, pushed through the crowd and approached them.
"My dear young man, are you the heir of the Syracuse family?" He calmed down from his previous excitement and became a polite and respectable old scholar. "I have heard Lord Orolos describe you."
Orolos is Jasmine's alias in this civilization.
Su Yun suddenly remembered this, so he nodded to him: "Hello."
Periander was immediately displeased when he saw this: "Lord Apion, I remember that Orolos was not your close friend, and not long ago you were criticizing his tyranny."
The old man was not anxious even though he was exposed: "Lord Orolos is indeed as hard as a rock, but he is just a man. Our friendship with the Syracuse family should not be questioned."
"My youngest daughter-in-law is from Syracuse. She is the most virtuous of my daughters-in-law." The old man bowed slightly to Su Yun after saying this. "The daughters of the Syracuse family are all fairy-like children."
Periander's eyebrows jumped at the old man's shameless flattery.
Damn it! Their family was a newly rich family with few connections, but they were unable to get a marriage alliance with Syracuse.
The conflict between the two people's words was not what Su Yun cared about. He only noticed that Alice was a little impatient.
"Then please treat her well." Su Yun said this to the old man gently, then turned to Periander, "Shall we go to the library?"
Periander smiled triumphantly, "Please follow me!"
The crowd silently made way for them. Su Yun tried not to look at the students with red faces and angry necks, and walked straight forward with the guide.
To be honest, this is a very interesting process. These strong young men are wearing various long and short robes.
It blends perfectly with the surrounding ancient and majestic stone buildings. It is simply a sketch of the long river of history, and also like a realistic and classical painting, which is pleasing to the eye.
The area in front of the library was just as lively, with learned people coming and going. Su Yun walked from one crowd to another.
He was greeted with silence again.
Periander talked incessantly to him about the library here, but at this moment, the crowd in the distance suddenly made a noise again.
Su Yun felt Jasmine approaching, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the noise.
Alice's expression became even worse, he puffed up his cheeks, and then deflated air with a whoosh.
Periander heard the noise as well, and not only that, he heard someone shouting, "Lord Orolos."
This eloquent young man suddenly felt his heart chilled.
The crowd parted, and Su Yun saw Jasmine striding towards him.
Jasmine's outfit today is still unique, with a red coat over a white robe. This civilized coat is actually just a piece of cloth folded according to specific steps. When draped over the tall man, he looks elegant and majestic.
Of course, Jasmine would never give up the glittering and luxurious decorations. She pinned a decoration similar to a golden crown on her long crimson hair. It seemed to be made of golden branches and leaves and was lifelike.
Su Yun was about to call out his name, but suddenly remembered his character, so he nodded to Jasmine: "Uncle."
Alice took Su Yun's hand and exerted force suddenly, and it seemed like it was about to explode.
Jasmine was also stunned, but then he immediately smiled, and a gentle smile spread across his smoky gray eyes almost instantly.
"My master." He stepped forward quickly and whispered to Alice's alias, "Eros, you are disrespectful."
Alice: “…”
At this moment Alice fully felt Jasmine's sinister intentions.
Damn it! This damn relationship between characters!
Don't be willful, Father God still likes this game very much...
Alice let go of Su Yun's hand with a fake smile and took a step back: "Yes, my brother."
Their conversation was short, but it left Periander, who was standing aside, dumbfounded.
Eros is not a solemn name. The root of this name comes from "lust". He gave this name to his younger brother and then sent him to his master...
Is this to completely control him? Even the lover has been arranged! What a sinister intention!
Periander looked at Aurora in horror.
Los, but the man didn't even look at him.
When his master is present, all others are but foils.
Periander heard Orolos whisper, like a lover's whisper: "Would you like to see the library here? The collection here is not as rich as ours... but since you like it, please let me take you there."
He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to hold the black-haired young man in his arms.
Periander looked at the young man in panic, but he only saw trust in those moonlight eyes.
"Okay, thank you for your help, uncle." He was smiling, "How come you have time today?"
"It's just some boring stuff." The tall man replied with a low laugh, "It's just a meaningless dispute. It will be lively even without me."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to support the young man's back, and when he was leaving with his young master, he looked over.
The brief eye contact lasted only a moment, Jasmine would not waste time on irrelevant people, he then withdrew his gaze and focused on his God.

The godlike young man had left with his tyrannical uncle, and the crowd in front of the library finally burst into a wave of noise after a long silence.
Everyone was talking excitedly about everything about Syracuse. Could such a beautiful main bloodline really be the descendant of the Moon Goddess?
In the noisy crowd, only Periander stood stiffly.
That look frightened him.
The author has something to say: Muah!
