"How do you know if you don't try." Sociklis broke free from his hand, and after walking a few steps, he muttered in a low voice, "Brother Stas is too honest."

Pekestas is the second son of Hiros, and Hiros is married to Sostatus' eldest sister, so they are cousins. Although Pekestas is older, he is influenced by his family education and behaves according to the rules. Although Sosikles is younger, Sostatus intends to cultivate him as the heir of his own business, so he is more smooth and flexible in his work.

Sosikles went back and told the servants to take good care of the children, and then he walked slowly south along the fence of the zoo.

Turii Zoo, the full name is Turii Kingdom Zoo, is built on a hill near the Krati River, and the entire hill is owned by the zoo. It has been established for 7 years, but it has never stopped construction. Because the hill is flat in the east, steeper in the west and north, and close to the river in the south, there is only a wall at the foot of the east. Originally it only opened one door, but due to the increasing number of tourists, it was neither safe nor convenient for Aviya, who often came in and out of the zoo, so another side door was built at the foot of the south mountain for Aviya and the palace. Guards and staff go in and out.

Sosiklis saw from a distance that some people were standing at the side entrance. Obviously, they also 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 without being humble or arrogant: "I am the younger brother of Axicus, and I have something important to see him!"

The guard hurriedly called the officer and whispered a few words to him. The officer looked at Sosikles and said, "Wait a moment."

………………………………………………

A huge water wheel and a long stone water trough are erected by the river near this partial gate. It is embedded in the enclosure and introduces the water of the Krati River into the zoo, and finally merges into an artificial lake not far from the main gate. inside.

Around the artificial lake are placed one after another large iron cages and huts next to the iron cages. In front of each iron cage, some people gather, exclaiming and screaming from time to time. There are also some places where the audience gathers, but there are no iron cages, but large pits are dug, with low walls built on them, and pools in the pits...

Suddenly, the people in front of a big pit gave a deafening cheer. The animal that was hiding in the pool at the bottom of the pit finally climbed to 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 hippo from the Nile River. It shakes its small ears, opens its mouth and sprays water vapor, causing waves of cheers from tourists...

In a corner next to this big pit, there is a person who looks different because he is sitting quietly, and there is a wooden board erected in front of him. On the wooden board is an unfinished painting, which is 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, then looked at the excited tourists, and finally showed helplessness on his face.

At this time, a simple-looking young man hurriedly walked up to him and said diligently, "Brother, it's so hot, drink a sip of water first 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 pottery bottle and two clean wooden cups, pulled out the cork, poured the green pulp water, and then opened the quilt layer by layer. In another wooden box wrapped, use a wooden clip to pick up a few ice cubes and put them into the cup carefully.

Seeing this operation, the people next to them couldn't help but look at them carefully. After all, it's definitely not ordinary people who can use ice cubes to cool off on a hot day.

The man who painted unceremoniously picked up a glass and drank it in one breath. Then he chewed the ice and said vaguely, "Yes, it's apple juice, pour me another glass."

The servant quickly took over the water.

"I said Axicus, do you usually drink water so extravagantly?" The man drank the serum water provided by others,

It would be too much to even criticize.

But the young man didn't care. He also took a sip of the syrup and explained, "I'm busy every day, how can I be so delicate, this is all for Aivia."

The man who drew the picture 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? Why do you come here when you have time?"

"I've already done it for them, so I came out today to relax."

"Then if you want to come to the zoo, you should tell us in advance. If Sister Eunice knows that we have not taken good care of you, Ivia and I will not be reprimanded by her!"

It turned out that these two were the two sons-in-laws of King Davos: Alex and Axicus.

Hearing this, Alex felt 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 was actually very harmful to his body. After getting married, Eunice asked him to change his bad habits in the past. For this reason, the two quarreled several times. Later, Davos intervened and talked with the couple before he was willing to make a decision. After the change, Eunice also took good care of his life, allowing him to devote himself to creation. So far, his sculpting and painting level has made continuous progress, and eventually he has become the top sculptor in the entire kingdom.

"I have hands and feet, what do I need you to take care of!" Alex scolded indifferently, and then whispered: "If you really want to help me, kick all these tourists out!"

Axicus hurriedly shook his head: "I can't do this! Before Ivia wanted to allow only a few hundred people to enter the park, I persuaded her for a long time. Now the park is full of tourists. If it causes riots, it will be troublesome. It's gone!"

"I said that you are now around Avia every day, and you don't even care about your father's business?" Alex couldn't help asking.

Axicus scratched his head, but instead of answering directly, he asked, "I heard that Dionysus Academy is going to set up another art academy, and is going to make you the dean. Is this true?"

Alex hesitated for a moment, looked at the painting on the wooden board, and said softly, "This matter is still under discussion and has not been decided yet."

Although Alex has his own engraving studio and takes several apprentices, this is completely different from becoming a dean, teaching and managing dozens or even hundreds of students. It is precisely because he feels pressure that these few God would just slip out to paint and relax by himself.

After the news was confirmed, Axicus was overjoyed: as the largest ironware manufacturer in the Kingdom of Dionia, his father not only continued to maintain a leading position in weaponry and civilian ironware, but also began to get involved in metal crafts. Production, for example, the previous statue of Antebris star was designed by Alex and produced by Theos Iron Works. But after all, his family has insufficient background in handicraft manufacturing and does not have enough carvers. In the metal handicraft market of the kingdom, some famous carvers either work alone or are cultivated by other manufacturing workshops. The Onia Art Institute will be good news for his family's handicraft workshop.

As Axicus was thinking, the guard at the zoo ran and said: His brother is looking for him.

He was stunned for a moment: because he has no brothers, only one sister, who is so bold to pretend to be his brother?

Axiscus decided to take a look.

When he walked to the side door, he saw a young man beckoning to him and shouting, "Big brother, it's me!"

Axicus suddenly smiled. Since Tius and Sostatus are both big businessmen in Turii, and they are in the Turii Chamber of Commerce, the two often communicate with each other, and Sostatus intends to raise his second son, and often brings him to visit , Axicus really likes this clever little brother.

"Why are you here?" Axikus asked kindly.

"Big brother, help me!" Sociklis looked pitiful: "Isn't there a sports meeting? There are a lot of guests in my house. My father insisted that I bring the children of these guests to the zoo. When we arrived, we found that we had to wait for a long time, and it was so hot that the younger children couldn't take it anymore..."

"How many people are there?" Axiscus frowned.

"Add me, five people. However, I just saw that my cousin Pekestas was also in line. He brought about 7 people, can we also join..."

"Pekestas?" Axicus was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that the only one who could be called a cousin by this little guy was the son of Sinos, the chief executive of Thessaly region, he thought about it, Said: "Okay. But you have to wait outside for a while. I have to tell Avia first, there should be no problem."

"Thank you bro!" Sosiklis said gratefully, watching Axicus walk into the side door and ride a Brut horse brought by a servant, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but think: Yes According to rumors, the reason why Axicus was favored by Princess Ivia was because he was like a dog, revolving around the princess every day, even if he was married, he still did not have his own vigor and pursuit at all. Losing the face of the upper-class young citizens of the kingdom...

Sothickles used to scoff at this statement, thinking it was just sour words from some people out of jealousy, and now it seems like it really is the case.

Brutima walked on the flat stone road, carefully avoiding the bustling tourists, and came to a yard surrounded by high iron railings halfway up the mountain.

Axikus got off his horse and hurriedly ran to the wooden house at the back of the yard. Several antelopes in the yard immediately stopped grazing and looked vigilantly at the sudden intruder.
