Eunice didn't speak, but looked at him eagerly.

The reason why Alcibidas is popular with children is that he brings all kinds of gifts to the children every time he comes.

"Uncle came this time, of course I brought you all presents. But don’t worry, line up first, and pick them one by one." Alcibidas smiled and touched Briant. Si's little head.

"Line up! Everyone lined up!" Eunice immediately took out the style of her big sister, and directed her younger brothers and sisters to line up quickly according to their age.

"Awesome, Eunice!" Alcibidas praised and waved to his men.

The servant immediately brought a pure white pony.

"Oh, she's so beautiful!" Eunice's eyes saw the little white horse, and she couldn't live without it.

"This is a pony I bought from the nomadic Bedouins east of Canaan. It is said to be very good at running. Eunice, she is yours now." Alcibidas smiled Said.

"Really?! Great!" Eunice was so excited, she hugged Alcibidas and kissed fiercely: "Uncle, thank you so much!" After that, she ran over and held it. Pony.

The servant hurriedly handed the reins into Eunice's hands. The pony snorted and licked Eunice's hand gently, and Eunice yelled excitedly again.

Alsibidas touched his face, smiled, and looked back at his nephew: "Apox, do you want a horse too?"

Apox tilted his head with a narrow smile: "Uncle, if I want a white pony too, can you get it out?"

This observant little guy! Alcibidas patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and smiled: "I don't have a second pony, but I have this—"

He waved his hand, and the servant held up seven or eight bundled rolls of sandpaper.

Alsibidas pointed at them and said seriously: "There are poems written by Egyptians, stories about Egyptian gods, and part of Egypt’s past history... I spent a lot of time on it. It's easy to buy from Greek scholars in Naucatis, Egypt. If you don't like it, I will be very sad!"

Apox immediately gave Alcibidas a strong hug with excitement: "Thank you, uncle, I like it very much!"

"Uncle, where's mine?!" Briantes asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, you are indispensable." Alcibidas said, and the servant came over again.

"Ah, puppy!" Briantes cried excitedly, and saw a milky white puppy barking barking in the slave's arms.

"This is the Saluki. They are called'Pharaoh's hounds' in Egypt. They are very good at running and loyal to their owners. They can catch geese and hares, and they dare to fight crocodiles and hippos, waiting for you to grow up. It's—" Alcibidas hadn't finished speaking, Briantes had already picked up the puppy excitedly and ran away in a hurry.

"This kid!" Alcibidas smiled and looked at his niece Ivia who was standing in front of him.

Ivia, who has always been quiet, opened her eyes wide at this time and looked straight at a small black cat in the arms of another servant.

Alsibidas didn't say much, and immediately put the kitten in her arms.

Ivy hugged the kitten in a hurry.

The kitten "meows", rubbing her hand with her beard.

Ivia thought it was so cute, she raised her head and asked Alcibidas: "Uncle, what's its name?"

"It doesn't have a name yet. From now on you will be its owner. Of course you will take its name." Alcibidas laughed.

So, Ivia stroking the kitten with her hand, lowering her head to think.

"Brother, I heard that black cats in Egypt are the incarnations of gods..." Aegnes, who has been watching, said with some worry.

"In the hearts of Egyptians, not only black cats, but also cows, crocodiles, eagles, leopards...many animals are objects of their awe, but it does not prevent them from raising cats, dogs, and hunting crocodiles and hippos. Not to mention. This is Dionia, the land under the blessing of Hades, and the children are descendants of Pluto, what to worry about!" Alcibidas said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Aggris relieved her worry and asked: "Did you go to Egypt this time?"

Alsibidas nodded: "Yes, I brought you a set of high-end cosmetics specifically for the Egyptian princesses and princesses, and I also brought a set for Princess Kristia." /

Following the direction of Alcibidas’s fingers, Agnes saw that many large wooden boxes with beautiful appearance were carefully unloaded from the load car by slaves.

Aggnese did not decline, and said with a little joy: "Brother, you are so troubled!"

At the age of nearly 40, she already felt her skin began to loosen and her hair gradually lost her luster. She really needed more grooming and care. As far as she knows, in the Mediterranean, the best country in this regard is Egypt.

Thousands of years of long history, prosperous life, and special environment (desert area, windy sand, sun exposure.), make Egyptian women, regardless of rich or poor, attach great importance to beauty and dress, for a long time They have designed numerous cosmetics, skin care products and decorations.

Just like the Egyptian cosmetics purchased by Alcibedas, it is just a variety of formulas composed of various ointments and protective oils, mixed with some plant extracts, and various types of flowers, fruits, and grasses for moisturizing. The skin and odor-masking essences and balsams are carefully installed in large and small bottles, which are filled with two large boxes.

This does not include cosmetics on the face, such as very finely ground mineral stone powder with cat, hippo or crocodile fat and other ingredients, used to apply eye shadow and eye daikon, to draw eyebrows, blush, lips...this It is enough to fill a large box.

There are more accessories, and wigs are the most important one. Egyptians generally think that gray hair and natural baldness are extremely unsightly, so they invented wigs and even tried to mix various formulas to help gray hair restore its natural color. These wigs are made of human hair and plant fiber mats, long, short, thick, dense... all kinds of wigs are filled with a large box.

As for those exquisite earrings, necklaces, anklets, hairpins...there are all kinds of dazzling arrays. Alcibidas also carefully bought many Egyptian tools for makeup, such as small tweezers, clamps, small razors, ivory eyebrow pencils...

So Agnes said he was bothering, and she was right.

"Crotto hasn't come back yet? I also brought him a gift." Alcibidas asked seemingly casually.

"He and Adoris were both called to participate in military training. This time the training was for two days. They spent the night in the barracks and would not be able to return until the day after tomorrow. Alas, the war is always going on! I hope Croto won’t get caught. Send to the battlefield." Agnes said with some worry.

Klotokatax has almost turned 19 years old. As an adult citizen of Dionia, he has participated in military training for more than a year and is now a reserve soldier of the First Army. And in other times when he didn't need to participate in military training, Daves arranged for him to go to the military department to do errands to get familiar with all aspects of the military department.

As for why Adoris is also conducting military training in Turei? That’s because Daves discovered that Adoris was originally transferred to the Fourth Army in Crotone to hide his identity. In fact, the effect was not obvious. On the contrary, it made Adoris’s life and training very inconvenient, so he simply removed him. He was transferred back to Turiyi, now a soldier in the Second Army.

Alsibidas was a little disappointed in not seeing Cloto Kataks, he wanted to get closer to Daves's parent. Judging by the signs that Agnes had told him in the past, Daves may have taken Cloto Kataks as his heir. Unlike his father, Atili Cruz, Croto Catacs is not worried about this. He knows that Croto Catacs has a deep affection for Agnes’s mother and child, even more than his biological mother, Cree. Stoya.

Kristia heard that Alcibidas was coming, and immediately asked the chef to prepare the dinner.

Christoya didn’t like Atilly Cruise. The embarrassing scene two years ago made her very annoyed. Fortunately, it was just a family gathering. Afterwards, it was tightly controlled by Daves and did not publicize it. .

Given Christoya’s lofty image of the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Family among the Dionian people, she does not think that Attili Cruise’s words will damage her image in any way. What's more, Daves has repeatedly stated in private that Cloto Kataks is his heir to the throne and is also working hard to train him. Coupled with the fact that Agnes has always felt guilty about it, and when she gets along with her a little more respect, this makes Christia still get along with Agnes as usual.

And Aegness’s brother Alcibidas is completely different from his father. Through Kristia’s long-term observation: Every time he comes to the mansion, he not only respects himself, but always presents endless gifts. And I like every child very much, there is no obvious bias.

Therefore, of course, Christoya must reciprocate her love and warm hospitality.

"Your Majesty sent someone back to say that he has some important political affairs to be busy today, so he will come back later. I entrust Aegness and I to entertain you as a hostess!"

Christoya smiled, looked at Aegness, then raised the wine in her hand, and said to Alcibidas: "Thank you very much for bringing us so many more A gift, and it’s exactly what we need! Aegness and I toast you a glass to express our gratitude! At the same time, we warmly welcome you!"

Alsibidas thanked him immediately. He took a sip of the wine and listened to Christoja saying: "Because of this drought, not only the wheat seedlings died, but various fruit trees were also severely affected. Even the wine The output of glutinous rice has also dropped sharply, so the food tonight is a bit simple, I hope you don’t mind!"
