"Herney, calm down! I have already sent Helps to Laos. After I get things done here, I will also rush to Laos tomorrow!" Daves Said loudly.
"Thank you, my lord, thank you!..." Hernipolis was already crying.
Although Daves felt sorry for him, he couldn't make him feel sad forever, because he knew that cerebral congestion was an extremely dangerous disease, at the level of medical skills in this era. Even in Dionia, it is of no avail. It is fortunate to be able to wake up, and you must plan for the future of Laos.
"Heny! Heny! You look at me! Look at me!!" Daves shook his body and called out loudly to him.
Henipolis raised his head blankly, tears streaming down his face.
"What I want to tell you is that the doctors in Dionia have also experienced your father's symptoms many times, and the situation after treatment is not optimistic." Daves said here, Hernipolis There was pain on his face.
"Listen, child. You are already a 25-year-old young man, an upright Dionian man! If your father is really bad... you should bravely take on the burden of your father, Take good care of your mother and the people of Laos, just like your father did! Do you understand?!...... Do you understand!”
"Ming... understand..." Hernipolis cried and nodded.
"Very good. Go back to pack your things and rush back to Laos immediately. See you in Laos!" Daves patted his thin shoulder encouragingly.
Henipolis was wiping away his tears with his hand, and he staggered out, when he suddenly stopped: "My lord, I... can I ask you for help if I encounter difficulties?"
"Child." Daves said gently and firmly: "I said, I treat you as my own child, and I will help you if you have any difficulties!"
"What happened? I saw Hennie crying out." Kristonia walked in with Croto Kataks.
"Dad, I saw Brother Hennie crying. He is crying even when he is such a big person." Little Cloe also said.
Davos picked up his child. This little guy is almost five years old, and he is quite strong: "Your brother Henney's father has fainted and he hasn't woken up yet."
"Ah!" Kristonia screamed and asked repeatedly: "Is it serious?"
Davers nodded heavily.
Kristia's expression also became sad, and then she thought of something and asked: "Heney is going back to be ready to take over as the consul?"
"Apart from him, who else can be Raos." Daves said lightly.
"Dad." At this time, Little Klo squeezed his face and asked worriedly: "Will you faint too?"
Davers looked at little Clo, then at Kristia, and replied seriously: "For you, I can't faint."

Attilly Cruise, the father of Agnes, whose family was one of the earliest immigrants in Lijim City, a famous nobleman in Lijim City, and Anaxilas, the famous tyrant of Lijim decades ago It came from this family and was once married to Syracuse’s tyrant Dillon, but later fell out with Syracuse’s tyrant Sieron because of Lockley’s problems.
At the beginning, Dionysius proposed to Agnes not only because of her beauty, but also because of her family's influence in Lijim and the connection with Syracuse. But in the end Lijim chose Dionia, and Atili Cruz also married his daughter to Dionysian Archon Daves, and Atili Cruz was elected Lijim citizens for two consecutive years. One of Jim's generals.
Attilly Cruise took advantage of Lijim's special geographical location to vigorously develop the family's sea trade, especially in the trade with the two city-states of Massilia and Sagunto, making huge business profits. In addition, Atili Cruz also owns two shipyards, and the shipbuilding capacity is second to none in the entire southern Italy. Therefore, the Dionian Senate will only approve six of the ten three-layer paddle warships to be built this year. The shipyard of Atili Cruz built, of course, this is also a kind of wooing of Lijim by the Dionian League.
But when the two met, the scene was not as harmonious as imagined.
"What did you say? Let Lijim deliver the six three-layer paddle warships in his fleet to Dionia!"
"Yes. We still pay you the price of the new ship, and you can also update your fleet with the new ship. Isn't that great."
"No, this is very bad! We can't give you our existing warships, this will greatly weaken Lijim's fleet!"
"You only have to wait a few more months before you can use the new ship."
"That won't work either. The Messina people are now backed by the tyrant of Syracuse. They are very rampant. We must have enough warships to deter them! Why can't you wait a few more months! You can rest assured that the warships built by our shipyard will be delivered to Dionia on time."
"Our navy is stepping up the training of new tactics, and we urgently need new ships to join, so we can become familiar with and adapt the tactics as soon as possible..."
"New tactics? What new tactics make you so anxious?!..."
……
The slave outside the living room heard Atilly Cruise's voice loudly and loudly, as if arguing, and hurriedly ran to tell Agnes.
When Aegness heard it, she felt helpless. She grew up under the roar of her father since she was a child. Even though she is now the most powerful consul's wife in Nanyi, she still feels apprehensive to discourage her father who is discussing matters with her husband, so she has to go to Christoya again.
Christoya, who was walking in the garden, listened to Agnes’s request, looked at the sky, and smiled confidently: "Sister, don’t worry, I’ll persuade them."
She told Athena a few words, and then went outside the living room, after listening for a while, she walked directly in and said with a smile: "Daves, Master Attyly Cruise, I'm sorry, I will interrupt you. The dinner has already been prepared, the children are waiting, do you talk about it after dinner, or—"
"Of course I'll talk after dinner." When Daves heard that the children were hungry, he couldn't sit still anymore and said to his father-in-law: "Let's finish the meal and come back." He stood up.
Attilly Cruise glared at Christia, but he couldn't say anything about the pregnant woman, so he could only helplessly follow out of the living room.

"Davers, to be honest, this fish soup made by your family is much better than the one you made in Lijim's restaurant. Do you have any reservations?!" Fish lover Attily Cruise ate the dinner specially prepared for him, very satisfied, but also forgot the unhappiness before, and joked.
"There are no reservations. There are many customers in the restaurant and the time is tight, and the chef does not have enough time to cook. Here, it took more than an hour to marinate the fish." Davers explained.
"Well, it's well done!" Attyly Cruz complimented, took another sip, and then asked, "Have you tasted the fish sauce I sent last time?"
"I’ve tasted it. The taste is very special. It is both salty, umami and pungent... My chefs are using it as a sauce and trying to pair it with other foods. ..." Davers said.
"That is the fish sauce made by the Phoenicians, produced in Cadiz. Cadiz is not only rich in silver, this thing is found in North Africa, Iberia, Carthage, Western Sicily, and the coast of Egypt. , Asia Minor is very famous along the coast, and many places regard it as a delicious condiment..." Attilí Cruz took a sip of wine, rinsed his mouth, and said: "There are only two processing workshops in Cadiz City. One is to refine silver, and the other is to make fish sauce. They are roughly half of them."
"Oh, Cadiz." Daves knows this town. It is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It is now controlled by the Carthaginians. Unexpectedly, in addition to silver, it also has this industry.
"It is said that this fish sauce is made from a...well, a mixture of rotting mackerel viscera and vinegar. I--" Attilly Cruise just said this when he heard a "vomit" , Agnes fell on the table and began to vomit.
At this time, Attily Cruise was angry at first because his daughter interrupted him, and soon he realized something, and immediately looked at Daves with an eager look.
"I haven't had time to tell you yet." Daves said with a smile: "Agnes is pregnant."
"Great! I'm finally pregnant! After two years of marriage, Christoja is about to give birth to a second child. Her belly hasn't moved yet, and I'm still worried whether it's because Artenis is punishing her ( It means that Aegnes was first the priest of the famous goddess Artenis, then he was transferred to the priest of Hera, and was married), now I can rest assured!" Attili Cruz smiled happily. He raised his glass and said, "This is a happy event! Daves, we both want to have a toast!"
"Okay!" Daves also raised his glass, and the two drank it.
Attilly Cruise put down his glass and burped.
Davos saw Agnes lying on the table and vomiting, and worriedly motioned to Christia to ask someone to help her down to rest.
At this time, Attyly Cruise said: "Daves, I am very happy today. I decided to agree to your previous suggestion. First, let Lijim...uh...the six three-layer oars in the Lijim fleet. The battleship is handed over to you. Regarding the training of the two fleets together and other suggestions, I have to go back and discuss with the council before I can give you an answer.
Kristia saw this, knowing that Daves and the others were about to talk about business again, and hurriedly greeted the children to leave.
