Chapter Forty-Seven: An Inexplicable Dinner

"Isn't Uncle Phoenix's work on the ranch bad?" Su Muran was a little strange.

As far as he knows, the income from working on a ranch is very high, at least much better than farming at home. And there is also a benefit such as a tax cut, and most people want to get into the ranch when they squeeze their heads, why does Ikaon still want to change jobs for Phoenix?

"No, no, you're mistaken. Ikaon hurriedly waved his hand to explain. He couldn't say that Phoenix didn't work well on the ranch, after all, the owner of the ranch was right in front of him.

"Phoenix worked very well on the ranch, and thanks to the Queen, the family now has a big house. Icaon said sincerely. He was genuinely grateful to Thetis, who was responsible for the shepherd's salary and benefits.

"Then why did you change jobs for Uncle Phoenix?" Hearing Ikaon say this, Su Muran was even more strange, a job with high pay and good benefits actually said that he didn't want it?

"On the one hand, the work of the ranch is too ......," Speaking of this, Ikaon glanced at Su Muran embarrassedly, "I'm too tired." ”

Su Muran nodded in understanding. The pasture is huge, but there are only five or six shepherds, and it is really not enough to take care of more than 2,000 cattle and sheep.

What's more, more than 2,000 cattle and sheep are crowded together, and the noise is simply shocking, and even those who don't have a lot of nerves can't survive in the pasture, which is really tiring.

"On the other hand, shepherds are not a decent job. Ikaon hurriedly explained to Su Muran, "Your Royal Highness, I'm not saying that working on the ranch is bad, it's just that as an old father, I hope that my children can be more respected. ”

"I understand, Grandpa Ikaon. Seeing that Ikaon seemed to have something to explain, his face turned a little red, and Su Muran hurriedly said that he was not angry.

Ikaon was right, and although the wages at the Milmidon Ranch were high, shepherds were generally not a respectable profession.

Su Muran also heard Ikaon say that Phoenix's wish was to be an adventurer like Peleus when he was young, although it didn't come true in the end, but it can be seen that Phoenix's character may not be suitable for him to be a shepherd.

"Your Royal Highness, please help me. Ekaeon sat in front of Su Muran, his eyes were earnest, and his voice was low and pleading.

"Grandpa Ikaon, is Uncle Phoenix also thinking the same way?" Su Muran did not immediately agree to him, but asked about Phoenix's idea first.

It would be embarrassing if you were kind enough to help, but you ended up making an oolong.

"Yes, he didn't say it to me, but I'm pretty sure he meant that. Icaeon assured in a loud voice, "He is my son, and I know him." ”

"Well, I promise you. Su Muran agreed, "But I don't know what kind of position Uncle Phoenix needs." ”

"It doesn't have to be arranged. Hearing Su Muran's agreement, Ikaon was overjoyed, "I heard that the kingdom is going to build a capital in Sesalia, so let him go to Sesaria with you, as long as he performs well, he will always get ahead." ”

You can't ask for a lot. Su Muran nodded, "I'll talk to my father when I go back, don't worry." ”

Su Muran took the matter on his body again, and it was still the same sentence, he couldn't do it, and his mother Titis, if Titis didn't agree, she would cry, make trouble, and hang herself, she would definitely be fine.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness Prince, and may the gods bless you. Ikaon clasped his hands together and prayed earnestly for Su Muran, it can be said that Su Muran's words solved his heart disease for several years.

After sitting for a while, Su Muran decided to leave.

"We'll go first, goodbye Grandpa Icaon. Su Muran pulled little Pat and said goodbye to Ikaon. Otherwise, if he sat here, Ikaon would have to thank him once in a sentence or two, which would make him embarrassed.

......

Just as the sacrifice on the other side of the hill was finished, the goddess Actea, who was far away in Arcadia, suddenly received news from the temple of Apollo that Artemis was preparing to receive a sacrifice.

Walking through a vast garden filled with palms and cypresses, Actea hurried to the temple to tell Artemis the news.

However, she pounced, Artemis was not in the temple at the moment, and the fairies outside the temple told her that the main god Artemis had gone to the hot springs early in the morning.

"Artemis, you really made it easy for me to find my sister. "Actea finally arrived at the hot springs, and when she saw Artemis, she couldn't help but complain.

"What's the matter, Sister Actea, what's the matter?" Artemis squinted lazily, soaking in the spring water, reluctant to get up, like Aritusa, the goddess of spring water next to her, who always liked to sleep.

"I just received news from the Temple of Apollo that you are going to receive a sacrifice tomorrow. Actea said to Artemis, standing by the spring.

"I'm annoyed, don't go. Artemis didn't even lift her eyelids, and Apollo was not in a position to order her to do anything.

"Artemis, tomorrow is the great sacrifice for the founding of Serili, and I think it's necessary for you to go. Actea said earnestly.

As far as she knew, Zeus had already attended the festival himself, and Artemis had no reason not to go.

"I've never heard of any kind of sex. Artemis plunged headlong into the water and up again, the water running down her long hair, from her cheeks to her neck, to her collarbone, and finally to the fountain in a proud arc across her chest.

Well, it seems to have gotten a little bigger again. Artemis nodded in satisfaction, completely oblivious to what Actea was saying.

"It's the country founded by the Millmidons...... Seeing that Artemis was obviously not listening, Actea had no choice but to stop, "Since you don't want to go, then I'll reply to the priests of the Temple of Apollo first." ”

Actea also knew that Artemis was absolutely qualified to be capricious, and at least Zeus could not punish her for this.

Just as Actea turned to leave, Artemis thought of the "Milmidon" she said, which seemed familiar?

Isn't that where Sister Thetis's ranch is?

With a "bang", Artemis stood up from the water, and the splash directly woke up Arethusa, who was sleeping next to him.

"What's wrong?" asked Aritusa, wiping the water from her face, confused. Actea turned around when he heard the voice.

"Sister Actea, go and tell them that I will be there on time tomorrow. Artemis ignored the little confused Arethusa, who emerged from the hot springs, grabbed a towel and began to wipe the water from her body.

Looking at Artemis, who suddenly changed his mind, Actea couldn't help but wonder: "Artemis, why did you suddenly change your mind again?"

"Since my brother has begged me, then I'll give him a face. Artemis said proudly.

Please, people are just letting you know, not begging you to be okay. Actea gestured helplessly with her hand on her forehead, but she wasn't prepared to contradict Artemis, for whatever reason, it would be best if Artemis was willing to go.

"Then I'll reply to them first. Actea said and immediately walked towards the entrance to Arcadia, where the priests of the Temple of Apollo were still waiting for her.

......

In the evening, Su Muran, who had been out with little Pat all day, returned home, and his mother and cheap father had already started to eat dinner.

Wow, that's too much, you two don't even wait for me.

Su Muran rushed to the dining table, looked at the dinner, and immediately lost interest. Cut ~ or bread, he originally thought there would be barbecue or something.

"Dad, I have something to tell you. Since he was not interested in eating, Su Muran simply told Peleus about the things that little Pat and Ikaon asked him to do.

"Yo, young man, what is pretending to be so serious?" Peleus looked at Su Muran's serious little face and only felt amused, "Say it, Dad, listen." ”

"What is it to pretend to be serious, I'm serious now. Su Muran retorted, then thought for a second and decided to start with the matter of Ikaon, after all, this is simple.

"Dad, there's an uncle who wants to go to Thessalia with our family. ”

"Which uncle?" Peleus, who was nibbling on bread, stopped to take a sip of hot water.

"It's the shepherd of our family's ranch called Phoenix. ”

"No problem. Peleus waved his hand and agreed.

He also knew Phoenix, the son of Ikaon, and his character Peleus also recognized. Moreover, when the city was first built, Pelius had intended to move people from all over the city, and it was no problem to bring someone with him.

"You agree?" Su Muran looked at Peleus in surprise.

"yes. Peleus replied indifferently, and then said to Thetis, "Wife, the bread you have made is so delicious, bring me two more." ”

Su Muran had a chill, such an unpalatable bread Pelius can actually say that it is delicious, in order to please his mother, there is really no lower limit.

Thetis smiled and took two loaves of bread and put them on Peleus's plate, then looked at Su Muran, "Achilles, have you had dinner?"

"Eaten...... Uh, not yet, Mom. Under Thetis's gaze, Su Muran had to confide the truth.

Titis took a loaf of bread and put it in front of Su Muran, the meaning was obvious.

Su Muran had no choice but to pick up a piece of bread and tear it into his mouth, the taste was ...... The taste is the same as chewing wax, alas!

"Achilles, isn't the bread made by my mother delicious?" Thetis looked at Su Muran with a smile, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious. Su Muran nodded hurriedly, "Mom, give me another one, I think I can still eat it." ”

"Eat more if you like, alas, maybe your mother's craftsmanship is not as good as your Aunt Philo." Thetis sighed deliberately.
