Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Yunice didn't speak, and looked at him equally eagerly.

Alcibidas is popular with children because he brings various gifts to children every time he comes.

"Uncle came this time and of course brought gifts for you all. But don't worry, line up first and get one by one." Alcibidas smiled and touched Briantes' little one. Head.

"Now line up! Everyone line up!" Yunis immediately took out the elder sister's leadership, and according to her age, commanded the siblings to line up quickly.

"Awesome, Yunis!" Alcibidas praised and waved to his own hands.

The slave immediately brought a pure white pony.

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

"This is a pony I bought from the Bedouin, a nomadic race east of Canaan. It is said to be particularly good at running. Yunis, she is yours now." Alcibidas said with a smile.

"Really?! Great!" Yunice was very excited, holding Alcibidas and kissed fiercely: "Uncle, thank you so much!" After that, he ran over and led the pony .

The servant hurriedly handed the reins to Yunis, and the pony snorted, and then gently licked Yunis's hand, and Yunis shouted excitedly again.

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

Apox leaned his head and gave a narrow smile: "Uncle, if I want a white pony, can you get it out?"

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

With a wave of his hand, the slave brought seven or eight bundled sandpaper rolls.

Alcibidas pointed to them and said seriously: "There are poems written by the Egyptians, stories about Egyptian gods, part of the history of Egypt... I have spent a lot of time, and finally from Egypt Bought by Greek scholars in Naucratis, if you don’t like it, I’ll be very sad!"

Apox was immediately excited to give Alcibidas a strong hug: "Thank you uncle, I like it very much!"

"Uncle, what about mine?!" Briantes asked impatiently.

"Relax, you are indispensable," Alcibidas said, and the slave walked over again.

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

"This is the Saruki dog, known as the'Pharaoh's Hound' in Egypt. They are good at running, and they are loyal to their owners. They can catch wild geese and hares, and dare to fight crocodiles and hippos. When you grow up- "Alcibidas's words haven't been finished yet, Briantes has picked up the puppy excitedly and ran away.

"This kid!" Alcibidas smiled and looked at the niece Avia, who stood in front of him.

At the same time, Ai Weiya, who had always been quiet, stared her eyes wide, and looked straight at a little black cat hugged in the arms of another slave.

Alcibidas did not say much and immediately put the kitten in her arms.

Aviaia hugged the kitten in a hurry.

The kitten yelled "meow" and rubbed her hand with her beard.

Aviaia thought it was so cute and raised her head to ask Alcibidas: "Uncle, what's its name?"

"It has no name yet, and you will be its owner from now on, of course it is up to you to take its name." Alcibidas smiled.

So, Aviaa lowered her head and thought while stroking the kitten with her hand.

"Brother, I heard that black cats are the incarnations of gods in Egypt..." Ignatius, who had been watching, said with some concern.

"In the minds of the Egyptians, not only black cats, but also cows, crocodiles, eagles, leopards... many animals are the objects of their awe, but it does not prevent them from raising cats and dogs, killing crocodiles and hippos. Onia, the land under the protection of Hades, and the children are descendants of Pluto, what's so worried about!" Alcibidas said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Alice released her worry and asked, "Are you going to Egypt this time?"

Alcibidas nodded: "Yes, I specially brought you a set of high-end cosmetics for Egyptian princesses and princesses, as well as a set for Princess Christosia."

In the direction of Alcibidas' fingers, Agnes saw many large wooden boxes with beautiful appearances carefully removed by slaves from the pack.

Agnes did not quit, and said with a little joy: "Brother, you are so troublesome!"

By the age of almost 40 years old, she already felt that her skin was beginning to loosen and her hair was gradually losing its luster. She really needed better dressing and care.As far as she knows, in the Mediterranean, the country that is best at this is Egypt.

The thousands of years of long history, affluent life, and the special environment (desert, windy sand, and sun exposure) have made Egyptian women value beauty and dress regardless of rich or poor. They have designed for a long time. A large number of cosmetics, skin care products and decorations.

Just like the Egyptian cosmetics purchased by Alcibidas, the various formulas composed of various ointments and protective oils, mixed with some plants to extract juice, and the various configurations of flowers, fruits and grass are used for emollient and masking The odorous fragrance and balm are meticulously installed in large and small bottles and jars, and two large boxes are filled.

This does not include cosmetics on the face, such as very finely ground mineral stone powder with raw materials such as cat, hippo or crocodile fat, used to apply eye shadows and eye daisies, outline eyebrows, blush, lips... This is enough to hold A big box.

And there are more various jewelry, wig is the most important one.Egyptians generally think that gray hair and natural baldness are extremely unsightly, so they invented wigs and even tried to formulate various formulas to help gray hair restore its true color.These wigs are made of human hair with plant fiber mats, long, short, thick, dense... A variety of wigs are filled with a large box.

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

So Agnes said he was bothered, and he was right.

"Has Croto not returned yet? I brought him a gift, too." Alcibidas asked casually.

"He and Adoris were called to participate in military training. This training was two days, and they spent the night in the military camp. They would not be able to return the day after tomorrow. Alas, the war is always going on! Hope Kloto will not be sent to the battlefield. "" Agnes said with some concern.

Crotocatax is almost 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, Davers arranged for him to go to the military department to do errands to get acquainted with all aspects of the entire military department.

As for why Adoris is also training in Turiri?That's because Daveus discovered that the original transfer of Adoris to Crotone's Fourth Army was to hide his identity. In fact, the effect was not obvious. Instead, Adoris' life and training were very inconvenient, and he simply took him Transferred back to Turri, now a soldier of the Second Army.

Not seeing Crotocatax, Alcibidas was a little disappointed in his heart. He wanted to have a closer relationship with Davis's birth.Judging from all the signs that Agnes had told him in the past, Davos may have taken Croto Catax as his heir.Unlike his father Atili Cruz, Crotocatax is not worried about this. He knows that Crotocatax has a deep affection for Agnes’s mother and son, even more than his biological mother, Kelly. Stoia.

Christosia heard Alcibidas coming and immediately asked the chef to prepare a dinner.

Christoia didn't like Atelier Cruz. The embarrassing scene two years ago made her very angry. Fortunately, it was only a family gathering. Afterwards, he was tightly controlled by Davis and did not promote it.

With Christosia’s noble image of the ten thousand Buddhas in the Dionysian population, she did not think that Atelier Cruz’s words would have any damage to her image.What's more, Daveus repeatedly stated in private that Croto Kataks was his heir to the throne, and he also focused on training him.In addition, Agnes has always felt guilty about this, and she has more respect when she gets along with her, which makes Christosia as usual, getting along with Agnes.

And Agnes's brother, Alcibidas, is completely different from his father. Through the long-term observation of Christosia: every time he comes to the mansion, he not only respects himself, but also keeps giving gifts.And like every child, there is no obvious bias.

Therefore, Kristoa must of course vote for the peach and give him a warm hospitality.

"Your Majesty just sent someone back to say that he has some important political affairs to be busy today, so he will come back later. Entrust me and Agnes to host you as the hostess!"

With a smile, Christoya glanced at Agnes, then raised the wine in her hand and said to Alcibidas: "Thank you so much for bringing us so many gifts, and Just what we need! Agnes and I give you a cup to express our gratitude! At the same time, we warmly welcome your arrival!"

Alcibidas immediately thanked him. He took a sip of wine and heard Christopher say again: "Because of this drought, not only did the wheat seedlings die, all kinds of fruit trees were also severely affected, even the wine production It has dropped sharply, so the food tonight is a bit simple, I hope you don’t mind!"
