Chapter 379 Davers' Father-in-Law
"Heney, calm down! I have sent Hulls to Laos, and after I finish the business here, I will also rush to Laos tomorrow!" Davos said loudly .

"Thank you, my lord, thank you!..." Henipolis was already sobbing.

Although Davos felt sorry for him, he couldn't let him stay like this because he knew that cerebral congestion was an extremely dangerous disease based on the level of medical skills of this era.Even in Dionia, it is of no avail. It would be lucky to wake up, and plans must be made for the future of Laos.

"Hernie! Hernie! Look at me! Look at me!!" Davos shook his body and shouted to him.

Henipolis raised his head blankly, tears streaming down his face.

"What I want to tell you is that the doctors in Dionia have also experienced your father's condition many times, and the situation after treatment is not optimistic." When Daves said this, Henipolis' face showed Painful.

"Listen, son. You are already a 25-year-old youth, an upright Dionia man! If your father is really bad...you should bravely take over the burden your father shouldered and take good care of you Mother, take care of the people of Laos, just like your father did! Do you understand?!...Do you understand!!"

"Ming... understand..." Henipolis nodded while crying.

"Very good. Go back, pack your things, and rush back to Laos immediately. See you in Laos!" Davos patted his thin shoulder encouragingly.

Henipolis wiped his tears with his hands and staggered out. Suddenly he stopped: "Sir, I...can I ask you for help when I encounter difficulties?"

"Child." Davos said gently but firmly: "I said before, I regard you as my own child, and I will do my best to help you in any difficulties!"

"What happened? I saw Hernie going out crying." Christoya came in with Crotokatax.

"Dad, I saw brother Heni crying. He's still crying at such a big age." Little Crow also said.

Davos picked up his child. The little guy was almost five years old and was quite strong: "Your brother Heni's father fainted and hasn't woken up yet."

"Ah!" Christia screamed and asked repeatedly: "Is it serious?"

Davos nodded heavily.

Kristoya's expression also became gloomy, and then she thought of something and asked: "Will Herni prepare to take over as consul when he returns?"

"Besides him, who else can be Laos?" Davos said lightly.

"Dad." At this time, little Crow pinched his face and asked worriedly: "Are you going to faint too?"

Davos looked at Little Crowe, then at Kristoya, and replied seriously: "For you, I can't faint."

...........................

Atilicrus, the father of Agnes, his family was one of the earliest immigrants in Ligem City and a famous nobleman in Ligem City. Anaxilas, the famous tyrant of Lidium decades ago, came from here. The family also married Dillon, the tyrant of Syracuse, but later fell out with Hieron, the succeeding tyrant of Syracuse, because of the Locri issue.

At the beginning, the reason why Dionysius proposed to Agnes was not only because of her beauty, but also because of her family's influence in Ligium and its connection with Syracuse.But in the end Lijim chose Dionia, and Atilicruz also married his daughter to Dionia's governor Davos, and Atilicruz was elected Lijim's citizen for two consecutive years. One of Jim's generals.

Atili Cruz took advantage of the special geographical location of Liguim to vigorously develop the family's sea trade, especially in the trade with the two city-states of Massilia and Sagunto, which made huge business profits.In addition, Atili Cruz also owns two shipyards, and the shipbuilding capacity is second to none in the whole of Southern Italy. Therefore, the Dionia Senate will approve six of the ten trireme warships to be built this year. The shipyard of Atilicrus was built. Of course, this was also a way for the Dionia Alliance to win over Lijim.

But when the two men met, the scene was not as harmonious as imagined.

"What did you say?! Let Lijim deliver the six triremes currently in his fleet to Dionia!"

"Yes. We still pay you the price of new ships, and at the same time you can update your fleet with new ships. Isn't that great?"

"No, this is not good! Our existing warships cannot be given to you. This will greatly weaken the strength of Lijim's fleet!"

"You just have to wait a few more months before you can use the new ship."

"That won't work, the people of Messina are now backed by the tyrant of Syracuse, and they are very rampant. We must have enough warships to deter them! Why can't you wait a few more months! Don't worry, The warships built by my shipyard will definitely be delivered to Dionia on time."

"Our navy is stepping up training on new tactics and urgently needs new warships to join in to familiarize and adapt the tactics as soon as possible..."

"New tactics? What new tactics make you so anxious?!..."

……

The slave outside the living room heard Atilicruz's loud voice, as if they were quarreling, and hurriedly ran to tell Agnes.

When Agnes heard this, she was a little helpless.She grew up under her father's yelling since she was a child. Even though she is now the wife of the most powerful consul in Southern Italy, she still feels uneasy when she wants to dissuade her father who is discussing with her husband, so she has to go to Christoia again.

Christoia, who was walking in the garden, listened to Agnes' request, looked at the sky, and said with a confident smile, "Sister, don't worry, I'll go and persuade them."

She gave Athena a few instructions, then came outside the living room, listened for a while, then walked directly in, and said with a smile: "Davos, Lord Atilicruz, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Dinner is early." It's ready, the children are waiting, do you want to talk after dinner, or--"

"Of course we'll talk about it after dinner." When Davers heard that the children were hungry, he couldn't sit still immediately, and said to his father-in-law: "Let's talk about it when we finish our meal." Then he stood up Get out of body.

Atilicruz glared at Kristoya, but he couldn't say anything to a pregnant woman, so he had no choice but to follow her out of the living room.

..............................

"Daves, to be honest, the fish soup made by your family is much more delicious than the restaurant you opened in Lijim. Do you have any reservations?!" Attilik who loves fish Ruth was very satisfied with the dinner specially prepared for him. He also forgot about his previous unhappiness and started joking.

"There are no reservations. There are many customers in the restaurant, and the time is tight, and the chef does not have enough time to cook. Here, it took more than an hour to marinate the fish." Daves explained.

"Well, it's very well done!" Atili Cruz praised, took another big sip, and then asked, "Have you tried the fish sauce I sent last time?"

"I tried it, and the taste is very special. It is both salty and umami, and also has a very stimulating taste... My chefs are using it as a sauce, trying to match it with other foods..." Davers said.

"That's fish sauce made by the Phoenicians, produced in Cadiz. The city of Cadiz is not only rich in silver, this stuff is found in North Africa, Iberia, Carthage, western Sicily, the coast of Egypt, and the coast of Asia Minor It is very famous, and many places regard it as a delicious condiment..." Atili Cruz took a sip of the wine, rinsed his mouth, and said: "There are only two kinds of processing workshops in Cadiz City, one One is for refining silver and the other is for making fish sauce, roughly half and half."

"Oh, Cadiz." Davos knew this town. It is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and is famous for its silver production. It was first a settlement built by Phoenicia in Tyre, the powerful motherland of Asia Minor. Now it is The Carthaginians controlled.I didn’t expect that besides silver, it also has this industry.

"It is said that this fish sauce is made from a... well, a mixture of rotten mackerel offal and vinegar. I-" As soon as Atilicruz said this, he heard a sound of "vomit", and Aige Nisi leaned over the dining table and began to vomit.

At this time, Atili Cruz was still angry because his daughter interrupted him at first, but soon he realized something, and immediately looked at Davos with eager eyes.

"I haven't had time to tell you yet." Davos said with a smile: "Agnes is pregnant."

"Great! I'm finally pregnant! After more than two years of marriage, Christoya is about to give birth to her second child. Her stomach hasn't moved yet. I'm still worried whether it's because Artenis is punishing her (referring to Agnes was first the priest of the famous virgin goddess Arthenis, and then she was transferred to the priest of Hera, and she got married), now I can finally rest assured!" Attili Cruz smiled happily and raised his wine glass Said: "This is a great event! Davos, we both want to drink!"

"Okay!" Davos also raised his glass, and the two of them drank it down.

Atilicruz put down his wine glass and burped.

Davos saw Agnes still lying on the table vomiting, and worriedly signaled to Crystal to ask someone to help her down to rest.

At this time, Atilicruz said: "Davos, I am so happy today. I decided to agree to your previous suggestion and first deliver the six triremes of Lijim... er... Lijim fleet. You use it. Regarding other suggestions such as training the two fleets together, I have to go back and discuss with the council before I can give you an answer.

Seeing this, Christoya knew that Davos and the others were going to talk about business again, and hurriedly asked the children to leave.

　We have arrived in Chongqing and the weather is so humid and cold that I feel a bit uncomfortable.
