Chapter 44: Doctor Macaen
"Since the little prince is here, why don't you help me bring these leaders to the king. Menotius gestured to the group of people who hadn't yet arrived, "I'm here waiting for the rest of the leaders to come." ”
"Is it okay?" Su Muran confirmed. It's all the people you brought, is it really good to treat them differently like this?
"It's okay, these are the most distinguished guests. Menotius paid his respects to an old man beside him with gold threads embroidered on his sleeves.
Su Muran immediately understood, although there seemed to be a lot of people in this group, there were thirty or forty of them, but the highest status was among these seven people, and it should be the gray-haired old man.
"Then I'll take these guests over. Su Muran also saluted to this group of people, not acting like a six- or seven-year-old child at all.
That group of people admired in their hearts, worthy of being the son of a goddess, it was really different.
Su Muran led a group of people towards the celebration site, and little Pat stayed by the river with Menotios, after all, it was his father who came back, and he didn't care about the little friend or anything.
"Hello, Prince Achilles, my name is Makaon and I am a tribal leader from the Thessalya region. ”
Su Muran hadn't figured out how to get close to this group of people, but the old man with a distinguished status had already spoken in advance.
"Ah, hello, honorable chief of Makhaon. After Su Muran said this, he found that he was running out of words, and in the face of an old man who was close to ten times his grade, he really didn't know what topic to talk about. If you want to ask, "Have you eaten?", it is estimated that people will think that they are neurotic.
Fortunately, the old and mature Macaon also saw Su Muran's embarrassment, and picked up the topic himself, "Prince Achilles, can you show me this pet of yours?" Makaang pointed to the little lion that Su Muran was holding.
"Absolutely. Su Muran touched the little lion's head, ignored its terrible howl, took it out of the blanket, and handed it to Makaang.
Makaon took the lion cub with both hands, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Prince Achilles, this pet of yours is a lion, isn't it? Makaon stroked the lion cub. It's strange to say, the little lion who is usually so cold that even Little Pat ignores it is touched by him is immediately much quieter.
Su Muran knew that it wasn't that he was scared, but that the little lion was really comfortable now. If it senses danger, it will howl even when facing a god like Benteschimo, and this stupid cat has no idea what it means to hide from predators.
"Yes, it is indeed a lion. Su Muran generously admitted. When the people around him heard him say this, they all exclaimed.
There is nothing to hide, because although the lion cub is only a month old, its body size is almost the same as that of an ordinary adult domestic cat, and its physical characteristics are much different from that of an adult domestic cat.
However, Makaang recognized this as a lion at a glance, which still surprised Su Muran. As far as he knew, most people in this world had never seen a lion, because most of the people they had seen had already become a lion's belly.
But there are still many other big cats in this world, like feral cats and lynxes, and it is often difficult to tell which breed the kitten is in the juvenile stage.
"And it's a premature lion. Makaon said with a smile on his face.
Su Muran was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?"
To tell the truth, Su Muran has been taking care of the lion cub with all her heart for so many days, and Thetis also said that it is impossible to tell from the size that the lion cub was born early.
"Prince Achilles, the chief of Makaon is the most powerful physician in our Millmidon. It is not surprising to know that no one who can hide from his eyes, whether man or animal. A middle-aged man next to him immediately explained, and Su Muran could even hear the flattery.
Makaon waved his hand to signal the man not to speak, and the middle-aged man immediately stopped.
Makaang looked at Su Muran with a smile and said, "Prince Achilles, although I am a doctor, it is impossible to tell whether this lion was born prematurely by touching it. ”
"Then how do you know?" Su Muran said curiously.
"I just happened to learn about animals. The lion production period is in the spring, and according to the time, the first lion cubs will not be born until about ten days this year. Makaon touched Rengar again, "But this pet of yours doesn't look like a one-year-old lion, so I'm sure it's a premature lion." ”
I see, if you have read a book, it is different. Su Muran nodded, "What you said is not bad at all, it seems that your teacher is really amazing." ”
In this era, if you want to be a doctor, you can't become a talent by self-study, and you can't find the door in your life without a teacher to lead the way. Therefore, when a doctor is generally praised for his excellent medical skills, he is often praised for his teacher's skill, which probably means "a famous teacher produces a high apprentice".
"Of course, we ......" The middle-aged man who had just opened his mouth to please Macaon seemed to want to say something again, but Macaon suddenly got angry, turned his head and scolded loudly: "Shut up!"
The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, his face immediately turned pale, and he lowered his head in fear and did not dare to speak. Even in the middle of winter, Su Muran could see the cold sweat on his forehead flowing down like a stream.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, for scaring you. Macaon turned around and found that Su Muran was looking at the man in a daze, and hurriedly apologized to Su Muran, he thought that his behavior just now had scared Su Muran.
It's good you didn't say it scared me. Su Muran touched his forehead, "It's okay." ”
It seems that this Makaon still has a lot of say among the leaders, and the man just now is also very important among all the leaders, but he was reprimanded by Makaang, and he immediately didn't dare to speak.
Makaang handed the lion cub to Su Muran, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince has taken good care of your pet, although this lion cub was born prematurely, it is very healthy." ”
"Thank you. Su Muran reached out and took the little lion and immediately stuffed it into the blanket. I don't know if it's pampered or why, this stupid cat is particularly afraid of the cold, and now it's almost to the point where it can't move its legs without the blanket.
Su Muran led the leaders over a low hillside, and the surroundings suddenly became noisy, and the black stone altar not far away stood out in the snow.
"My father was right in front. Su Muran said to Macaang.
"What a trouble, His Royal Highness the Prince. Makaon said to Su Muran, and the rest of the leaders also thanked him.
Su Muran led the group towards the big bonfire, while Peleus and Thetis sat by the campfire drinking wine.
"Dad, these guests ......" Su Muran and his party had already noticed it as soon as they came over, and before he could finish speaking, Pelius had already stood up and interrupted Su Muran's words.
"Macaon, you're finally here. Peleus stretched out his arms and hugged Makaang, and the scene was full of emotion.
No wonder little Pat used to hug me like this, it turned out that I learned it from you adults!
Su Muran secretly glanced at Titis and found that her mother was smiling and looking at the cheap father, without showing a trace of strange expression at all.
Mom, your heart is really big! Su Muran sighed secretly in her heart, you must know that the friendship between men at this time is not so "pure"! Many times when men interact with each other, they are accidentally bent!
For example-forget it or not, Su Muran touched his face, in case he put himself in, it would be bad. Of course, regardless of whether the historical record is true or not, he will not bend anyway.
As soon as Peleus and Makaon let go, the remaining chieftains came up to greet the king.
"Peleus, since we've all arrived, let's get down to business. As soon as he got down to business, Makaon put away the smile on his face and became serious.
Although Macaang has always called Su Muran His Royal Highness the prince out of politeness on the road, he has no scruples to call Peleus by his first name, it seems that the relationship between the two is really not simple.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Macaon, come to my house first, this is not the place to talk. Peleus looked around and said, "It's a bit noisy here."
"Alright then......" Markaon said halfway through as Thetis stood up.
This stop will take everyone by surprise, including Macaon!
They all knew the identity of Thetis, and they didn't come up to say hello just now because Pelius and Macaon had been talking, and they didn't have a chance to interject, could it be that they were angry because of this one?
What should I do? How can I remedy it? All the leaders were worried, and Makon regretted it in his heart, he should have said hello to the goddess first.
Just when everyone was embarrassed, Titis spoke.
"Peleus, since you're going to the house, I'll go back and clean up first. These guests must be hungry, so I'll prepare dinner in advance. Thetis looked at Peleus tenderly.
"Well, then I'll trouble you, Titis. Peleus agreed with a big grin, not knowing how much he had shocked the leaders.
That's a goddess! You just told her to go back to her housework, and cook? Everyone stared at Peleus, dumbfounded.
Thetis looked at everyone with a smile and said, "I'll take my leave first, and I ask for your forgiveness if there is any inconsiderate hospitality." ”
Everyone shook their heads and nodded busily, and a large group of people instantly became gossiping.
"Definitely, definitely. ”
"No, no, no. ”
In short, they are all expressing that meaning, but they can't unify the caliber.
Thetis was no longer surprised, smiled at everyone, pulled Su Muran and left directly.
