"How do you know if you don't try." Sosiklis broke free of his hand, and after walking a few steps, he whispered: "Big Brother Stas is too honest."
Pekestas is the second son of Hiros, and Hiros married Sostatus' eldest sister as his wife, so they are cousins. Although Pekestas is older, but under the influence of his tutor, he follows the rules. Although Sosiklis is younger, Sostatus deliberately trains him as the heir of his own business, so he is more sleek and flexible.
Sosiklis went back and told the servants to take good care of the children, and then he walked slowly south along the zoo's fence.
Turiyi Zoo, whose full name is the Turiyi Kingdom Zoo, is built on a hill on the edge of the Krati River, and the entire hill is owned by the zoo. It has been established for 7 years, but construction has never stopped. Because the hill is flat on the east, steep on the west and north, and close to the river on the south, only a wall is built at the foot of the hill on the east. Originally, it only opened one door, but due to the increasing number of tourists, it is neither safe nor convenient for Ivia who often enters and exits the zoo. Therefore, another side door was built at the foot of the southern mountain, dedicated to Ivia and the court. Guards and staff enter and exit.
Sosicris saw from a distance that some people had been scattered at the side door. Obviously they had the same purpose as him, but they failed.
He walked over with his head held high, and said to the guard standing at the door, neither humble nor arrogant: "I am Aksikus's younger brother, I have important things to see him!"
The guard hurriedly called the team officer and whispered a few words to him. The team officer looked at Sosiklis and said, "You wait a moment."
……………………………………………………
A huge water wheel and a long stone water tank are erected by the river near this side gate, which is embedded in the wall to lead the water of the Krati River into the zoo and finally into an artificial lake not far from the main gate. in.
Around the artificial lake are placed one after another big iron cages and small huts next to the iron cages, and some people gather in front of each iron cage, exclaiming and screaming from time to time. There are also some places where audiences gather, but there is no iron cage. Instead, large pits are dug with low walls and pools in the pits...
Suddenly, the people in front of a big pit let out deafening cheers. The animal hiding in the pool at the bottom of the pit finally climbed onto the shore. It has a huge mouth but a pair of small ears, thick like a cow. The body is equipped with 4 sturdy short legs... This is the hippopotamus from the Nile River. It shakes its small ears and sprays water from its mouth, causing cheers from tourists...
In a corner next to this big pit, there was a man who looked special because he was sitting quietly, and there was a wooden board standing in front of him. On the wooden board was an unfinished painting, it was the hippo at the bottom of the pit.
But the constant screams obviously disturbed him. He angrily threw the ink pen in his hand to the ground, and then looked at the excited tourists, finally showing helplessness on his face.
At this time, a simple-looking young man hurriedly approached him and said diligently: "Brother, it's so hot, first drink some water to quench your thirst!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant next to him immediately untied the wooden box he was carrying, took out the long-eared earthenware bottle and two clean wooden cups, pulled out the cork, poured the green slurry, and then opened the layered fabric In another wooden box wrapped, pick up a few ice cubes with wooden tongs and carefully put them into the cup.
This operation showed the people next to them, and they couldn't help but look at them carefully. After all, it is definitely not ordinary people who can use ice to cool off on a hot day.
The painting man unceremoniously picked up a glass and drank it in one breath. Then he chewed on the ice cubes and said vaguely: "Yes, it's apple juice. Pour me another glass."
The servant quickly took over the pouring.
"I said Aksikus, do you usually drink water so extravagantly?" This man drank the syrup provided by others, and even criticized it, which was a bit excessive.
But the young man didn't care. He also drank a sip of water and explained: "I am busy every day, how can I be so delicate, this is for Aivia."
The painting man stopped talking.
The young man asked curiously: "Brother, haven't you been helping the city hall with the sculpture and design of the sports meeting recently? How come you have time to come here?"
"I have done it for them, so I came out today to relax."
"Then if you are coming to the zoo, you should also tell us in advance. If you let Sister Eunice know that we haven't taken care of you, Ivia and I will not be reprimanded by her!"
It turns out that these two people are the two sons-in-laws of King Daves: Ariks and Axis.
Hearing this, Arik was a little unnatural. He used to sculpt and paint, and he could not eat or sleep for a long time, and was completely immersed in the creation, which actually caused great damage to the body. After getting married, Eunice asked him to change her bad habits in the past. For this reason, the two quarreled several times. Later Daves intervened and had a conversation with the couple before he was willing to make a decision. After the change, Eunice also took care of his life so that he could devote himself to creation. So far, his sculpting and painting level has continuously made new progress, eventually becoming the top sculptor in the entire kingdom.
"I have hands and feet, what do I need you to take care of!" Arik dismissed it dismissively, and then whispered, "If you really want to help me, please drive all these tourists out!"
Aksikus hurriedly shook his head: "I can't do this! I tried to allow only a few hundred people to enter the park before, but I persuaded her for a long time. Now the park is full of tourists. If it causes riots, it will be troublesome. Up!"
"I said you are circling Avia every day, and you don't even care about your father's business?" Ariks couldn't help asking.
Aksikus scratched his head and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "I heard that Dionian Academy is going to set up another art academy, and I am going to let you be the dean. Is this true?"
Ariks hesitated, looked at the painting on the board, and said softly: "This matter is still under discussion and has not yet been finalized."
Although Ariks has his own carving room with a few apprentices, this is completely different from the situation of becoming a dean, teaching and managing dozens or even hundreds of students. It is precisely because of the high pressure that these God would sneak out alone to paint and relax.
After the news was confirmed, Aksikus was happy: As the largest iron manufacturer in the Kingdom of Dionia, his father not only continued to lead in weaponry and civilian ironware, but also began to get involved in metal crafts. Production, for example, the previous statue of Antebris was designed by Ariks and produced by Theos Ironware Workshop. But after all, his family does not have enough background in handicraft manufacturing, and there are not enough carvers. In the metal handicraft market of the kingdom, some famous carvers either work alone or are trained by other manufacturing workshops. The upcoming Dai The Onya Academy of Arts will be good news for his craft workshop.
Aksikus was thinking, the zoo guard ran and said: his brother is looking for him.
He suddenly stunned: Because he has no brothers, only a sister, who dares to impersonate his brother so boldly?
Aksikus decided to take a look.
Walking to the side door, he saw a young man beckoning to him and shouting: "Big Brother, it's me!"
Aksikus suddenly smiled. Since both Tios and Sostatus are big merchants in Turíy and they are in the Turíy Chamber of Commerce, the two have frequent contacts, and Sóstatus intends to cultivate his second son and often takes him to visit , Aksikus really likes this smart little brother.
"Why are you here?" Aksikus asked happily.
"Brother, help me!" Sosiklis looked pitifully: "Should we not hold a sports meeting? UU reading www.uukanshu.com. Many guests came to my house. My dad asked me to bring these. The guest’s child came to the zoo, but when we arrived, we found that we had to wait a long time. It was so hot again that younger children could hardly stand it..."
"How many people are there?" Aksikus frowned.
"Plus me, five people. However, I just saw my cousin Pekestas also line up, he took about 7 people, can we also be together..."
"Pekestas?" Aksikus was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that the only one who could be called the cousin by this little guy was the son of the chief executive of Thessaly, Sinos. He thought for a while. Said: "Okay. But you have to wait outside for a while, I have to go and talk to Avia first, there should be no problem."
"Thank you brother!" Sosiklis said gratefully, watching Aksikus walk into the side door and ride a Bruti horse brought by a servant. He disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but imagine: Yes Rumor has it that the reason why Aksikus can be seen by Princess Avia is because he is like a dog who revolves around the princess every day, even if he is married, he still does not have his own spirit and pursuit. Losing the face of the upper-class young citizens of the kingdom...
Sosiklis previously sneered at this statement, thinking it was just a sour thing some people said out of jealousy. Now it seems that it really seems to be something like that.
……………………………………………………
Brutima walked on the flat stone road, carefully avoiding the bustling tourists, and came to a yard halfway up the mountain with high iron railings.
Aksikus got off his horse and ran to the wooden house behind the yard. The antelopes in the yard immediately stopped grazing and looked at the intruder who appeared suddenly.
