Chapter 22: Ikaon's Concern

"Whew~~"

As soon as Thetis left, Su Muran heard the sound of Phoenix panting behind him, and when he looked back, Phoenix was holding his chest with a relieved look.

"What's the matter, Uncle Phoenix? Has my mom always been fierce?"

Hearing Su Muran's question, Phoenix immediately became nervous, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, don't get me wrong, Madame Thetis has always been very good to us." ”

"I think you're all scared of her. ”

"How can you not be afraid? I have heard that Lady Thetis is a god of the sea, and even if she is very kind to us, every time we see her, we still feel terrified. Phoenix looked in the direction Thetis had left, with a hint of respect on his face.

Su Muran smiled dumbly, he didn't expect the people here to be so in awe of the gods.

Looks aside, Thetis's strength may not even rank among a hundred among the gods, but even so, the workers of the ranch still ...... her Fearful? Well, that's pretty much what it feels like.

"But my mother is usually kind in the village, and few people seem to be afraid of her. Su Muran grabbed her hair, thinking secretly in her heart, a little incomprehensible.

However, what he didn't expect was that most of the people in the village were related to Peleus, and it was naturally impossible for Thetis to throw her face in front of them, and the villagers would naturally not be afraid of her after a long time. As for these people in the pasture, they have nothing to do with Peleus, so she naturally doesn't want to get close.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Uncle Phoenix, can you take me on a tour of the ranch?" Su Muran raised his head and looked at Phoenix.

"Absolutely. With a smile on his face, Phoenix went back and led the horse over, "Please get on the horse." ”

Thinking about the way he was leaning on the arms of a big man, Su Muran couldn't help but feel nauseous, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, Uncle Phoenix, let's walk." ”

"Then what's the matter, the ranch is so big, if you walk, you can't finish it until dark, so you better get on the horse." Phoenix was still persuading Su Muran.

I can't finish shopping, and I can't ride a horse with a big man like you. Su Muran shook his head firmly and refused, it wasn't Thetis's words, no matter who it was, he would refuse. "Uncle Phoenix, I just wanted to see a little bit without having to visit the whole ranch. ”

"Then sit down on the horse, and I will lead the horse, so that you will not be tired. Seeing Su Muran's repeated refusal, Phoenix had no choice but to ask helplessly. In fact, he also saw something a little, and the little boy seemed to be very resistant to riding with him.

Since Phoenix said so, Su Muran no longer refused, and hurriedly put on a well-behaved appearance and said to him, "Thank you, Uncle Phoenix." ”

Alas, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. I don't know when I'll be able to get rid of this day of selling cuteness for a living. Su Muran sighed quietly in his heart, he really hoped to grow up early.

Phoenix came over and carefully hugged Su Muran on the horse's back, and at this time there were also saddle stirrups and other things, although they looked very simple. Fortunately, this jujube red horse has a good temper, even if Su Muran sits on its back, it still looks quiet, and compared to the big white horse, it is simply a gentleman.

Phoenix led the horse around twice in place, wanting to help Su Muran adapt to the horse, but what he didn't know was that Su Muran had even ridden a tsundere horse like the big white horse, let alone just this ordinary ordinary horse.

"Where would you like to go?"

Su Muran pointed to the hillside where he was hiding just now, "Let's go over there, it seems that the scenery there is good." Phoenix nodded, pulled the reins and walked up the hillside, Su Muran sat on the horse's back, his small hands tightly grasping the long mane around the horse's neck.

"Uncle Phoenix, tell me about the ranch, it's my first time here, and I don't know anything. Su Muran sat on horseback and looked around, this ranch was quite new to him.

"Our Millmidon Ranch is the largest in the whole of Sequilli, and there are a thousand nine hundred and eighty-nine sheep, and some cattle and horses. Phoenix turned back to Su Muran and smiled lightly, "Including the horse you are riding now, all of them belong to Mr. Peleus." ”

"Why do some people call me Daddy King, but you call him Sir?" Su Muran still felt a little strange about this question, among the people he had seen, the soldiers who had come back with Peleus all called him King, and some of the neighbors called him Mr. Peleus, and some directly called him Peleus. And there is another point, everyone else calls him Little Prince, but no one has ever called him Little Prince!

Not happy, this baby, no, this little prince is not happy!

"Yes, our Millmidon was not a country before, and each village was independent of each other. It is for this reason that we are coveted by the greedy Asians, who finally invaded our Mirmidon about five or six years ago. ”

Phoenix walked up the hill without pause, with a hint of reverence in his tone: "It was at that time that Mr. Peleus was the first to stand up, and he called on us to unite against the invasion of the Asians. ”

"Monsieur Peleus was a well-known hero of the Argonauts at the time, especially in our Millmidon, where his reputation was particularly high. At his suggestion, the people of our villages agreed to unite and form Serilius, and to elect Monsieur Peleus as king. ”

That's right, isn't the matter over here? Isn't Pelius already a king? Su Muran thought about it, but still asked the doubts in his heart.

"This is where the greatness of Mr. Pelius lies. "Phoenix's voice made no secret of his admiration for Peleus," said Mr. Peleus, who said that he was unwilling to accept our offer, and that if he was to become king, he would have to wait until the Asiatic attack was completely repulsed. Monsieur Peleus is the bravest, greatest, noblest man I have ever met, and no one can compare with him!"

Su Muran sat on horseback, watching Phoenix waving his left arm and looking like he had been beaten with chicken blood, he couldn't help but be amazed, he didn't expect that this uncle, who was in his thirties, was still Peleus's little fan brother.

However, he also knew that some of it might be due to regional bonuses as well. Just like in the previous life, if there was a celebrity in his hometown, the feeling of worship and admiration would be a little stronger.

Peleus simply refused to be king of Sebris, but instead of electing a new king, the Milmidonians remained steadfast in favor of Peleus, and were prepared to wait until the war was over to elect Peleus as king.

But at the front, the soldiers of the Selian army, who had already seen the dawn of victory, had begun to call Peleus king.

Su Muran touched his smooth chin, if Pelius had simply sat on the throne, then he would have been born as a little prince. And now, at least wait until next year! This Peleus is really not a good idea! Su Muran gave the cheap dad a direct rating of -1 in his heart.

Seeing that Phoenix seemed to be going to talk about Peleus's glorious deeds in front of him, Su Muran hurriedly found a topic and prepared to make him crooked.

"Uncle Phoenix, what's over there?" asked Su Muran, pointing to a row of simple wooden houses down the hillside.

Phoenix stopped his mouth and glanced in the direction Su Muran pointed, "That's our shepherd's living area, we usually eat and sleep there except for going out to graze." ”

After saying that, Phoenix paused slightly, and was about to talk about Peleus again.

Su Muran knew that his plan had not succeeded as soon as he saw his expression, so he hurriedly pointed to the other row of larger wooden houses and asked, "What is it over there?"

"It was the living quarters and the warehouse for the women workers, where the wool was kept. ”

"Where's that over there?"

"It's a stables and kennels, and horses and dogs are more important, and they can't be kept in captivity like cattle and sheep. ”

"What about that?"

Phoenix turned his head and looked in the direction of Su Muran's finger.

"That's ...... Is that...... Father?!"

Su Muran was also stunned, he pointed casually, he didn't expect to see Ikaon here!

On the other side of the hill to their right, the gray-haired Ikaon was hobbling up the hill clutching a dry branch as a crutch. He was so tired that he had to stop with his cane every two steps to catch his breath, but even so, he walked steadfastly in the direction of the pasture.

Su Muran's eyes immediately turned red, he knew that Ikaon was here to find him. Because he ran away directly from Icaon in order to come to the ranch just now, Ikaon didn't worry about him, so he came all the way to find him.

An old man in his sixties, fearing for his safety, disregarded his old body and braved the scorching afternoon sun to walk from the far end of the river to the pasture.

How far is it from the riverside pier to the ranch Su Muran has personally experienced it, even his body that has been transformed by the water of the River Styx now can't bear it, let alone an elderly man.

A strange feeling lingered in Su Muran's heart, making him can't help but feel a little sour. Ever since he came into this world, he had always thought that only Thetis genuinely cared about him, so he couldn't show his sincerity to everyone except her, even Peleus and little Pat. However, what I didn't expect was that in this world, there was an elderly old man who also cared about him.

Phoenix had dropped the reins and raced towards Icaon.

"Father, I'm here!" Phoenix shouted at Icaon.

Ikaon slumped over and struggled to look up the hillside, and a look of surprise appeared on his face when he saw that it was Phoenix.

"Phoenix!!Did you see Achilles?!"
