"If I hadn't had your help from you, I wouldn't be today!" Heschlaus quickly expressed his opinion: "I am willing to always serve you!"

"Hey, we are mutually beneficial and no one wants to serve anyone." Sostatus said very simply: "If one day you want to develop independently, no problem, just tell me directly. My father once said to me, 'The more friends you have, the wider the road.' I have always kept it in mind and implemented it accordingly, so that I have the status today. Even if you want to be independent in the future, I will still support you. We are still friends, and we can still help each other."

"I dare not! I dare not!" Heschlaus said repeatedly, but kept Sostatus's words in his heart.

"Tell you the most important thing." Sostatus suddenly became serious: "It is precisely because I have a great reputation in the inner city pottery shop, that His Majesty Davers knew that he ordered a batch of pottery from me. The order I sent you 7 days ago was the goods he wanted! You must use the best clay, the best potter, and the best bottle painter. According to the requirements I had made before, and then deliver it to Tuliyi. If you can satisfy Your Majesty... If you think about it, we may become potters specializing in supplying the royal family. By then, the entire kingdom and the people of the kingdom will definitely be proud of owning our pottery! More importantly, if you satisfy Your Majesty, I will mention that you are a Peleusian from his hometown, and he will definitely look at you differently. Do you think so?!"

Heschlaus opened his mouth wide and stood there. He did not expect that the previous order was so important to him. He had taken it seriously enough, but now it seemed that it was far from enough. He immediately said: "I will rush back to Athens tomorrow and personally urge the workers to make the finest of the finest!"

Sostatus nodded and comforted: "You don't have to worry. The sports meet will take a month later. It's time to go. I'll buy tickets for the opening ceremony and some important competitions. You don't have to worry. Focus on doing this!... Oh, and this little guy-"

Sostatus patted Lyrias' head: "Don't let him go back and forth, just stay at my house, I will have someone take good care of her!"

"Okay!" Heschlaus agreed without hesitation.

Lyrias looked up at the two of them blankly, and he was only interested in playing with the statue and didn't know what was going on.

At this time, a young man ran over and said, "Father, what's the matter if you asked me to come?"

"You're here just right." Sostatus waved: "This is Uncle Heschlaus, my partner."

"Hello, Uncle Heschlaus!" The young man immediately stepped forward politely and said hello.

At the same time, Sostatus pointed at him and introduced: "This is my second son Socicles."

Heschlaus was a little embarrassed because he did not prepare gifts specifically for Sostatos' children.

Of course Sostatus would not care about this. He pointed at Heschlaus's son and said, "This is your uncle's son, Lyrias. He wants to stay at home for a while. As the little master, you must take care of her and let him have fun in Turi, do you understand?"

"I understand, father." Socicles walked forward and quickly pulled Lyrias and ran into the inner courtyard together.

"Sir, this... is such a trouble for you!" Heschlaus said with some emotion.

"I have three children, one of them died of illness when he was young..." Sostatus talked casually about family matters: "There are only two sons left. The eldest son is influenced by his uncle and is unwilling to do business and is willing to join the army. Now he is a team officer in the border corps stationed in Thessali (there was a riot in the border corps in the Po River area, and the Military Affairs Department learned from this lesson. It stipulates that the corps leader and the officers above the corps leader in the border corps must be formal officers of the Dionia to ensure the absolute loyalty of the entire legion to the kingdom). I went to Thessali four years ago, mainly to visit him. As a result, Hades blessed me and found you, a very capable businessman--"

"Sir, you have been too much." Hesscross was a little embarrassed, but of course he wouldn't know that Sostatus went to Thessali to visit his son was just one of the reasons. The important thing was to open up a commercial channel between Thessali and Dionia, because Hilos was his brother-in-law, and he had some convenience in Thessali. It was just a coincidence that he met Hesscross, a pottery. Although he did have some abilities, Sostatus valued his origin more at that time because he was a Peleusian.

"...so I had to pin my hopes on Socicles, hoping that he could inherit my family business in the future..." Sostatus said, and took Heschlaus into the front yard restaurant. The restaurant was large in size and had many dining tables, but there were only a few people talking.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to you." Sostatus said with a smile: "This is Heschlaus from Thessali! This is Iscaras from Mesenia! This is Ionidas from Nova Sparta! This is Andoquides from the Arcadia League!..."

After Sostatus was introduced, the four people immediately discovered what they had in common: they all came from the regions and allies that joined Dionia after the Greek War, and were all newcomers who joined the huge business network established by Sostatus. No wonder they came so early and immediately felt intimate.

Just as everyone shook hands and greeted each other, Sostatus's confidant slave hurried in and whispered a few words in the master's ear. Sostatus immediately said goodbye and left, and strode towards the courtyard gate.

At this time, his housekeeper had respectfully welcomed an old man who was thin and energetic.

"Mr. Theos, I really didn't expect you to be the first distinguished guest!" Sostatus smiled so hard that his fat face looked like a flower: "Welcome, your arrival makes me shine!"

"As a businessman, the important thing is to be punctual and trustworthy." Theoz said seriously: "It is said that it should be dusk, and every night that is late should be punished for wine!"

"I will definitely implement the order given by Lord Thos!" Sostatus said with a smile: "I will not let late people drink tonight, and the banquet cannot end! But Lord Raos, should you also be punished for drinking?"

"I came so early, why did I get punished for drinking?" Theos pretended to be confused.

"Your son Axikus married Princess Avia, which is a great joy!" Sostatus said with anger: "You have held the wedding quietly and invited us to celebrate the wedding. You have not even been able to hide from us during this period. Is it because you have become your Majesty's relative and think that you have a high status and look down on us, the old brothers!"

"Don't talk nonsense! I made it clear to you last time. It's not that I don't want to celebrate, but because Princess Agens and Princess Avivaya didn't want to make the marriage a lot, so it was His Majesty who gave me instructions and asked me to do that. I was also very depressed. After they attended the Marriage Day, they hid directly into the palace residence. When the wedding was held on the Hill of Kings, we were only allowed to go up. To this day, many of my relatives are still blaming me!"

"Hahaha..." Sostatus smiled heartily: "I heard that Princess Agenus and Princess Aviya are both people who love quietness very much, so it is not surprising that they can make such arrangements. However, Princess Aviya is beautiful and virtuous. How many young heroes in the kingdom want to marry her as their wife, and in the end your son succeeded, which fully proves that Axicus is very outstanding!"

Theos was very proud, but said modestly: "It's not a good idea, it's just that he was shot by Erros' golden arrow. Princess Avija is the head of the zoo, and Axikus also likes animals. You know that the iron cages that hold animals in the zoo are made by my iron workshop. Every time I want to make an iron cage, Axikus will personally take people to the site for investigation and production... It took a long time like this. When Axikus suddenly told me that he was going to marry Axikus, I was shocked and I didn't know how they got together."

"Okay, Lord Theos, don't be proud! I will treat the banquet tonight as a celebration for you, and you must be drunk before you can go home!"

"Okay!" Theos nodded straightforwardly: "But you have to get drunk with me!"

"Why?"

"Because you have a happy event to celebrate!" Theos blinked: "Don't think I don't know, your brother Dika Okrat has become the commander of the legion!"

"What a happy event." Sostatus disagreed: "There are dozens of legion commanders in the entire kingdom, and my brother is only at this age when he becomes the legion commander, which is nothing."

"The Legion Commander is nothing, but becoming a veteran Legion Commander is nothing." Theoz said calmly.

"He has just become the commander of the legion, and it is impossible to be elected as a veteran in the short term. There are many legion commanders in front of him..." Sostatus did not have hope for this. Although the rights of the elders are no longer as good as before, they are still noble, and they also have the power to elect the ministers of the regent, elect the chief executive of the region, listen to and evaluate the performance reports of local officials... and other powers are also the main force for the revision and formulation of laws at the beginning of each year. Therefore, both administrative officials and military generals are still full of desire to enter the Senate.
