"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. Hiros married Saustatus' 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.

The 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 because of the increasing number of tourists, it was 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 the younger brother of Aksikus, 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 Sosiclis and said, "You wait a moment."

…………………………………………………………

A huge water wheel and a long stone water trough are erected by the river near this side gate, which is embedded in the wall to introduce the water from the Klaty River into the zoo, and finally into the area not far from the main gate. In an artificial lake.

The artificial lake is surrounded by large iron cages and small 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 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, like a cow. The same thick body but with 4 thick 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 is a person who is different because he is sitting quietly, and there is a wooden board standing in front of him. On the wooden board is an unfinished painting, it is the hippopotamus at the bottom of the pit.

But the constant screams obviously interfered with him. He angrily threw the ink pen in his hand to the ground, then looked at the excited tourists, finally showing helplessness on his face.

At this moment, a simple-looking young man hurriedly walked up to him and said diligently: "Brother, it's so hot, take a mouthful of water to quench your thirst!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant next to him immediately took out 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 it again. In another wooden box wrapped in layers of cloth, use wooden clamps to pick up a few ice cubes and carefully put them into the cup.

This operation was seen by 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 of water.

"I said Aksikus, is it so extravagant for you to drink water?" This man drank the syrup provided by others, and even criticized it, which was a bit too much.

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

The painting man stopped talking.

The young man asked curiously: "Brother, haven't you been helping the city hall with sculptures and designs for sports games recently? How come you have time to come here?"

"I have done it for them, so come 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 have not 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.

Arex felt a little unnatural when he heard this. 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, and eventually became the top sculptor in the entire kingdom.

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

Axikus hurriedly shook his head: "I can't do this! Iveya 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 But it’s troublesome!"

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

Axikus 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? ?"

Arex 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, precisely because of the pressure. , He will sneak out alone to paint and relax these days.

After the news was confirmed, Aksikus was overjoyed: As the largest iron manufacturer in the Kingdom of Dionia, his father not only maintained the lead in weaponry and civilian ironware, but also began to get involved. The production of metal crafts, such as the previous Antebris star statue, was designed by Ariks and made by Tios 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 Onia Academy of Arts will be good news for his handicraft workshop.

Axikus was thinking, the zoo guard ran and said: his brother is looking for him.

He was stunned: Because he has no brothers, only one sister, who dares to impersonate his brother so boldly?

Axicus decided to take a look.

Walking to the side door, he saw a teenager beckoning to him and shouting: "Big Brother, it's me!"

Axicus suddenly smiled. Since both Tios and Sostatus were big merchants in Turíy and they were in the Turíy Chamber of Commerce, the two had frequent contacts, and Sóstatus deliberately raised his second son and often took 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 have a sports meeting? There are so many guests in my house, and my dad has asked me to bring the children of these guests. At the zoo, after 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 is also lining up, he took about 7 people, can we also be together..."

"Pekestas?" Aksikus froze 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 After thinking for a while, he 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 his servant. He disappeared in a blink of an eye and couldn't help thinking about it. Lian Pian: There are rumors that the reason why Aksikus can be admired 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. , Is simply losing the face of the upper-class young citizens of the kingdom...

Sosiklis had sneered at this statement before, thinking that 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 courtyard surrounded by high iron railings halfway up the mountain.

Axikus got off his horse and hurried to the wooden house at the back of the yard. The antelopes in the yard immediately stopped grazing and looked at the intruder who suddenly appeared vigilantly.
