Chapter Fifty-Eighth Haka Meets Okriton

"To be honest, the creation of gods is really amazing! Look at the two elephants so huge and mighty, but their personalities are very docile, especially the little elephant. Her little nose pulls the tail of the mother elephant and refuses to let go. The mother elephant is not angry, but instead constantly sucks the leaves with her nose and gives them to the baby elephant to eat... This reminds me of Avija when I was a child. She was not that way, always next to me, and was afraid that I would leave her..." Agents said, smiling and sighing.

Davers looked at Agenice, who was rare to become so active, and said with a smile: "I look at you, I seem to be fascinated by these elephants too!"

"Isn't that true!" Cristoya finally found a soulmate and complained loudly: "Agenice just told me that she would not go to Hera Temple today. She wanted to see the elephant at home for a day, and asked me to accompany her! Tell me, we are almost 50 years old, how can we be like children! Besides, I am so busy now, so I don't have the spare time to watch the elephant..."

"Look, today we all put other things aside, go see the elephant with the children, and enjoy the joy of being together in the whole family!" Davers suggested loudly.

"Okay!" Agenus smiled like a flower and immediately clapped his hands to agree.

Cristoya frowned slightly, and was about to object, Davers gently pressed her hand and said softly: "You are busy every day, let yourself relax today."

Davers's concerned gaze made Cristoya feel soft: "Okay, today we will be with our children and never go anywhere. But... it is not a good idea to place the elephant next to the mansion. Although that guy looks docile, they are so big after all. If they start crazy one day, it will cause danger to us!

Also... This elephant is a rare animal that the people of the Kingdom have never seen before. After being transported to the mountain yesterday, many people wanted to come in and watch, including some veterans. This morning, the children asked the students they had made friends with to go through the checkout card and also went up the mountain to watch the elephant... In the long run, the safety here will be difficult to guarantee!..."

"I have already thought about this." Davers said calmly: "Christoya, we will have another business next."

"What is it?!" Cristoya immediately became energetic.

“Build a zoo.”

"zoo?"

"We have heard the story of Hercules Hercules Heraclia strangled the Nimian lion since we were young, but have you ever seen the real lion?"

The Cristoya sisters shook their heads (in fact, in this era, there were lion groups inland in Asia Minor and the Mesopotamian Basin, but Mili was both coastal city-states, and Greek women were not allowed to travel far, so Cristoya had no chance to see him).

"We have heard the story of Apollo shooting the python Pitong to death. You may have seen snakes, but have you seen real pythons?"

The two shook their heads again.

"We have all heard of hippos and crocodiles in the Nile River in Egypt, but what do hippos and crocodiles look like? I'm afraid there are not many Dionians who have really seen them. Davers tapped his finger on the dining table and said confidently: "So why don't we build a zoo? Keep these strange and strange animals in this zoo, let them live in a certain area of ​​the garden, and create their own suitable living environment. So do you think there will be people coming to watch?"

"Of course there will be!" Agents immediately replied: "Elephant alone makes the people so crazy. When I came back yesterday, I heard the head of the palace guard at the foot of the mountain complaining that the people wanted to break in order to see the elephants and almost had a conflict with them."

Cristoya, who has been in business for many years, immediately understood the meaning of Davers' words and asked uncertainly: "What do you mean is like charging tickets to the people watching the game during rugby and football matches in the arena?"

"That's right." Davers secretly praised his wife's quick thinking and continued to explain: "After all, raising these animals costs money, and hiring a large number of people to maintain the entire zoo... The money collected through tickets can make up for these consumption. As for where the rare animals in the zoo come from? We don't have to worry at all, the city-states and forces who are friendly with Dionys and want to have friendly with Dionys will take the initiative to send them to me after learning that I have built a zoo and collected rare animals, so as to strengthen friendship with me...

With the expansion of the Kingdom territory, our zoo will only grow bigger and more rare animals. By then, Turik will not only eat delicious food, watch competitions, soak in hot springs, and enjoy the celebrations... You can also watch the zoo. Whether it is ordinary people or school students, the academic scholars do not have to risk going out for a long trip, but can understand and study most of the rare animals in the world. This is a very lucky thing! At the same time, they will also let them know how great the gods are. They not only created us humans, but also created so many wonderful animals. We are not alone..."

Davers talked about the prospects of the zoo, but was filled with emotion: When he learned from Ansitanos that the Mauritanian emissary sent several elephants, his first reaction at that time was that this must be the legendary North African elephant in the past life, a branch of African elephants! Pirus once defeated the Roman army several times, and Hannibal also incorporated it into the army, posing a threat to the Romans, but unfortunately it was extinct in the Roman era, not because of war, but because of the fanatical gladiator competitions of the Romans. The Romans captured various beasts from all over the Mediterranean and then transported them to the Colosseum, allowing gladiators to kill them, thereby earning money, and also stimulating the audience...

Davers read an article in his previous life. A Roman emperor held a grand gladiatorial competition to please the people of Rome. During the entire gladiatorial competition, thousands of beasts killed in various types of beasts. In the continuous killing of the Romans, not to mention North African elephants, there would never be any more beasts such as lions, leopards, etc. in the Mediterranean region. If it were not for the terrible sub-Saharan Desert, which made animals south of the desert survive, I am afraid that modern people in their previous life could only understand African elephants and lions in the literature.

It can be said that Westerners in their previous lives have been adhering to a crazy way of plundering nature from ancient times to the present. In this life, if Davers wants to change them, then start to cultivate children and get close to animals from the zoo.

…………………………………………

Ocreton asked the Dionian Foreign Ministry officials to submit his request to meet King Davers, but there was no news for two days. Seeing that the celebration was about to begin, he was anxious and had to choose to follow another idea given by the Foreign Ministry official.

During the celebration, not only were there many Gentile envoys and VIPs coming to Turiyi, but the chief executives and important officials of various towns also tried to take free time and rush back to participate. At the same time, visits to important officials of the kingdom became frequent. Generally speaking, the residences of the five rotating chairmen and ministers of various ministries became crowded.

Logically, this is even more true in Haka's mansion, because since their brothers came to Turiy last year, Haka has become the commander of the army and soon went north to serve, and Haka has become the official rotating chairman of the Senate. Although he is still recuperating, Davers can't wait to start asking him to take charge of some government affairs in order to get familiar with the political system of the kingdom as soon as possible. In addition, Dido, another important member of the Margonid family, became the princess and gave birth to two little princes... The Margonid family is very popular in the kingdom politics. It can be imagined that the kingdom officials who visited should be like crucian carp, but the actual situation is that the families are sparse.

Because Haka once publicly declared: "He himself is weak and sick and needs rest, so officials are not welcome to visit his home."

And, Helps endorsed him.

At first, the kingdom officials were skeptical. Since several Phoenician veterans were rejected, they finally confirmed that what Haka said was true.

After Ocreton arrived in Turiy, he learned about this situation. In addition to the years of grudges between the Margonid family and the Hannover faction, he has been hesitating. But now there is no way, so he can only pluck up the courage to visit, but unexpectedly he has obtained consent.

Of course, this former Carthaginian nobleman and today's important minister of the Kingdom of Dionia received guests from his hometown very special - soaking in the bathroom.

The bathing ground was invented by the Dionys, but it was quickly introduced to Carthage after the two countries first signed a peace agreement more than a decade ago. The Germet Hot Spring Bathing is a place where Carthages love to go. Of course, it now belongs to the Kingdom of Dionys.

Although Ocreton was surprised by this request, it was already a surprise that Haka was willing to see him, so he dared not refuse.

The bathroom of Haka's house was strictly constructed according to the traditional bathroom layout of the Dionian bathroom. By the time Ocreton finished the previous procedure and entered the heated pool, Haka was already sitting in the pool.

Ocreton had never met Haka before, but he had heard that the head of the Margonid family, Shimirko, had a second son who was very smart since childhood. Unfortunately, he had a disease at birth. He once diagnosed the doctor who had seen him: this child could not live to be 20 years old.

But now, although Haka, in front of Ocreton, looks a little thin, but has a rosy complexion and bright eyes. No matter how hard he looks, he doesn't look like someone about to step into the grave.

Haka looked at him and said in a plain tone: "After I came to Turiyi, Dr. Dionia suggested that people like me who cannot perform vigorous exercise should take more bathrooms, which is beneficial to their health. I followed the advice and took baths every day. When you came, I happened to take a bath, so I asked you to meet here."
