Chapter 18 The Eve of the Festival
"It's so comfortable," Di Zi'an retracted his head into the water, and then a string of gurgling bubbles surfaced, although it looked like someone else on the outside, but the experience inside was still himself, even in the real world, Di Zi'an had never soaked in such a big bath!
What's more refreshing is that the big bath is only Di Zi'an is fluttering alone, the water vapor over the bath is dense, there are screens on all sides, the water vapor is mixed with the fragrance of mint and jasmine, and even a little bit of herbal smell can be smelled, which really greatly relieves the fatigue caused by copying books and lack of sleep time.
"No wonder Inoss is so energetic every day, if I soak in this medicinal bath every day, I will be full of energy," Speaking of which, Inos's family is really rich Wow, it shouldn't be an ordinary wealthy family, Dizian stroked his chin playfully in the water, although there was no beard or anything.
"Enos didn't tell me the name behind him, is it Antioch, or Mayal, could it be Ptolemy?"
I thought you had won the favor of the sages by studying diligently, and I saw that you were copying books for your own family's own use!
Having a powerful friend is the dream of millions of civilians, and it is more difficult for ordinary civilians to become powerful themselves, but many things that can only be done by being powerful, as long as you have a powerful friend, you can usually achieve it.
The change of clothes was neatly piled on the screen, obviously not the previous set, and it was estimated that Inos had pinched his nose and waved his hand for his subordinates to destroy. Dizi soaked until he was numb, and finally climbed out of the bath from one side and draped his clothes on his body.
Coincidentally, Inos, who had been waiting a little impatiently, said dissatisfiedly behind the screen, "Do you want to wash until tomorrow morning?"
"Isn't this coming out?" Dizian looked left and right at his dress, which was supposed to be a bathrobe, and the clothes that Norma was wearing before were a wide tunic made of coarse linen "Calarisses" , It is probably to fold a piece of cloth equivalent to twice the length of the clothes, dig a hole in the middle of the drill, and sew it with sleeves on both sides, and the bathrobe provided by the servants of the Inoss family is a bit strange, the material is good, the texture is smooth, warm and pleasant, it should be a cotton product, but Di Zi'an doesn't know how to wear it, so he can only drape it on his body indiscriminately. When he walked out, Enos sneered, "Chunik is for you to wear, not around your waist like Rob." Di Zi'an's face flushed,
Is this the famous Chunik?Dizi'an looked at the dress around his waist again...... It is worth mentioning that there is not much difference between Egyptian men and women in clothing, but women's jewelry and styles are far richer than men's.
"Nerd, tie it to your left shoulder, and put your whole body in it!" Inoss saw that Dizi'an was a little anxious to see his own mess, and couldn't help but approach to help Dizi'an, and it happened that Dizi'an drilled his head out of the hole, so the two faces were facing each other, and each other could feel the warmth of the snort, and Dizi'an could smell some kind of nice fragrance coming from Inos's body.
“...... Smack......" Inoss slapped him almost without hesitation, and Di Zi'an was hit with a confused face.
Di Zi'an: ???
"Idiot, don't get so close!" Inoss blushed for a moment and said angrily,
Dizian: Didn't you come by yourself ??? you sat in the house, and the pot came from the sky? Then I saw Inoss take a silk scarf from the screen, "This is Shore, just wrap it around and drape it over your shoulders." ”
...... What a hassle with your Egyptian costumes!
After Dizi'an put on his clothes with difficulty, Enos solemnly crossed his waist and rigorously examined Dizi'an's new clothes, at this time, Norma's image was naturally no longer the poor apprentice who copied books shirtless in the dark. And due to the manipulation of reality, this image is shown in front of Di Zi'an, a country of etiquette from 5,000 years of civilization inheritance, and his behavior is naturally no longer as vulgar as Norma before, so it seems that there is a bit of nondescript aristocratic temperament......
"It's okay. Enos whispered, "Now I can take you out to meet people." ”
"Alas, it turns out that you have already arranged for me?" Di Zi'an is a little strange, isn't tomorrow the festival, it's not early now, it's time to go to bed after washing, where else do you want to go?" "Tomorrow is such an important festival, don't you have to rest early tonight?"
I saw Inoss smile mysteriously, "Don't you want to go with me to see the teacher's workshop?"
"Be sure to take me with you!"
Alchemy Workshop, as the only certified great alchemist in the world, the workshop of the sage Susimos is located in the northwest of the temple, in the new street, but this is the aristocratic quarter, the civilian apprentices have no way to enter, and the guards outside the door are wrapped around their waists in a rather simple and monotonous Royin Cross, a kind of clothing that was popular throughout ancient Egypt, like aprons, often many poor slaves only wear this kind of Roinkros, but these guards are different from the slaves in that they have wolf tails hanging from their hind hips.
Wolf Guard. They apparently knew Inos, so they didn't stop it.
But even the children of the nobility of Enos's background looked terrified when they passed through the entrance, their majestic bodies as steel were covered with terrible scars, and it was said that the entire Wolf Guard was composed of warriors who had been through a hundred battles and never died, and in Alexandria, they were the direct guards of the ruling class.
So don't think that Roincross was only worn by the poor and slaves, the Pharaoh sometimes wore this garment, but to distinguish himself from the slaves, the Pharaoh's Roincros was tight-fitted, with very thin stripes or pleats on it, and the right side was decorated with gold, and behind him hung a lion's tail.
Similar guards Di Zi'an has also seen in the temple, the guards who can be on duty in the temple, their identity has been seen, and this identity is often the embodiment of military exploits, Di Zi'an does not want to touch the mold of this kind of warrior who has been tempered for thousands of years, this kind of legendary soldiers who are quite famous in later generations, it is impossible to imagine what kind of combat effectiveness they can have in their heyday, similar to the farce of slave rebellion, any team of wolf guards can kill dozens of times the number of slaves crying father and mother.
"The teacher doesn't seem to be there?" Inoss tiptoed his probe into the workshop, "Be careful, don't break the utensils here, some of them can be said to be priceless." ”
Di Zi'an was also cautious, the alchemy workshop was brightly lit, but there was no figure, and the sage was not among them. All kinds of bottles and cans are all over the tables and chairs in it, the number is quite amazing, there is no shortage of solid liquids of various colors in it, all kinds of papyrus manuscripts are scattered on the ground at will, and Di Zi'an's eyes are straight, this is the original manuscript of the great alchemist, it is really priceless, just take a copy and develop yourself.
"These are the three cans that the teacher made himself!" said Inos, proudly as he led Dizian to a long stone table.
Di Zi'an narrowed his eyes, this ...... A clay pot containing a tube, about a palm's width in diameter, is topped by a copper cover cemented with a suspected clay-like substance, with three spouts sticking out of the lid into each of the three long-necked pear-shaped glass bottles, and a basin of water for cooling on one side.
"Is this a distillation device?" Di Zi'an's admiration for the unheard sage at this time was beyond words.
