Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 547 548. Relic of the First Civilization: Cross of Life
"This is indeed Ankh."

Herodotus looked at the religious artifacts Lan En handed him and made a definite conclusion.

Lan En dismantled the two items immediately after removing them from Harpalos.

And he put the stone filled with chaotic magic power and with many runes engraved on it into the alchemy leather bag, and put it together with the only remaining magic-blocking gold bomb.

This stone is not a simple thing, at least Lan En has never seen such a thing in Aretuza's library, or even heard of it.It just looks a bit like an elf in its styling, maybe it's an elven magic item from ancient times.

We can only wait until we go back to see if experts like Margarita or Tisaya can figure out some tricks.

It was already dark at this time, and Pericles' mansion was in a mess because of last night's banquet, but a room where they could talk could still be made available.

Lan En and Cassandra sat aside, waiting for Herodotus' next words.

This man, who is no longer young, did not indulge himself last night, so he was in good spirits and focused.

The Ankh cross in his hand, which can be called a cultural relic, made him a little excited.

Herodotus stroked the patterns and patterns on the cross with his fingertips, feeling the uneven texture, while speaking in his unique gentle tone.

"Ankh, also called the Cross of Life. In Egyptian mythology, it is a gift from the goddess Isis to her husband Osiris. It represents the power of 'life' and 'healing'."

"But there is also a theory that the appearance of this cross is actually obtained by the Egyptians after symbolizing the human organ of the uterus. After all, it is well known that the Egyptians have seen many secrets inside the human body because of their skills in making mummies. .”

Lan En nodded, indicating that he was not surprised.

Cassandra on the other side frowned and muttered in a low voice.

"'Well known'? I didn't know that Egyptians would cut people open and look inside? Uh. I originally wanted to travel there."

Herodotus and Lan, who were present, had already learned to adapt to the words of Cassandra, whose knowledge level was as earth-shattering as that of Phoebe.

Neither of them cared.

"Where did you get this cross of life?"

Herodotus asked curiously.

"I have traveled to the southernmost desert of Egypt, but I have only seen such well-made ankhs in local temples. I didn't even see the smallest traces of polishing."

Kassandra glanced at Lan En, saw him nodded slightly, and then described to Herodotus how the two of them annihilated Ares followers in the cave.

"You mean the Minotaur you dragged into the city of Athens this morning was made from this ankh?! The raw materials were cows and humans?!"

Herodotus' eyes widened after listening to Cassandra's description, as if the cross of life in his hand suddenly became hot, and he threw it on the table with a clang.

But then he seemed reluctant to stay away from this magical carrier of knowledge. He lay down carefully and looked at it, but in the end he no longer dared to touch it with his hands.

When Kassandra and Lann entered the city, they brought a corpse that they had killed, a body with the head of a bull and a human body with hooves, which caused an unprecedented sensation in the streets of Athens.

This is evidence that he wants to tell people that the followers of Ares outside the city are finished.It can also be regarded as an explanation of the support of the citizens of Athens for their 'cave expedition' during this period of time.

Herodotus's performance was much better than Lan En expected.

He may be one of the people in this era who has the furthest belief in gods.

"Then it seems that this is probably a relic of the first civilization!"

Herodotus whispered to himself.

Lan En moved his hand on the table, grabbed Anka and put it away.

"The first civilization?"

The witcher felt like he was listening to a word from a science fiction novel.Cassandra crossed her arms and explained to Lan Enhun nonchalantly.

"During his long travels and research, Herodotus believed that there was a group of beings before us humans, that is, gods."

"They are not gods, I explained it to you, Cassandra! They are just forerunners!"

"Isn't that still God?"

Kassandra's rebuttal and Herodotus' re-emphasis allowed the witcher to sort out his thoughts a little during a conversation full of information.

"Wait. Okay."

Lan En looked hesitant to speak, but finally waved his hand as if giving up.

The prehistoric civilization before humans can be regarded as an enduring science fiction fantasy.

He now has magic in his hands, and gene seeds and biological brains in his body. Science fiction is not unacceptable.

"Then we can roughly confirm that it was this Ankh that gave Harpalos the ability to transform and splice the human body?"

The corner of Lan En's mouth twitched a little.

"This is really a fool-like operation method. Even a fanatical believer can play it."

"Not only that." Herodotus added, "From your description, this thing also activated the Forerunner bloodline in Harpalos, and even allowed him to briefly possess most of the Forerunner's power!"

Compared to the excited Herodotus, Cassandra is much more rational as a combatant.

"But if it turns into a mummy after activation, then I think it's pretty good now."

Lan En held this piece of Ankh, which was the size of an ordinary person's palm, in his hand and looked at it thoughtfully.

The consequences of the fool-like operation can allow ordinary people to splice the limbs of beasts, and they can be used to a certain extent.
"gentlemen."

Even though Mentos was still using the old London accent that Lan had set, he still couldn't hide his surprise when he spoke to the subject.

"This is exactly what we need! Even better than we expected! Smart surgical equipment!"

"With your level of knowledge and the functionality of this device, we can easily handle the enhanced surgical procedures of future Space Marines!"

"That's exactly what I thought."

Lann recognized Mentos's idea in his mind.

The intensive surgery of the Space Marines, and the subsequent procedures even include meningeal implants, which cannot be completed by a single person.

And if you can use this cross of life
"You're interested in it?"

Suddenly, a question came from beside me.

Lann looked down to his side, and Cassandra was standing next to him looking at him.

"If you are still interested in the First Civilization and their legacy, then I am going to go somewhere after leaving Athens, and you should also want to go."

"Andros Island. During my journey, I determined that this place must be related to the broken spear on Cassandra's back and the First Civilization."

Herodotus interrupted and complained.

"And to be honest, we should have gone before coming to Athens. It was just because Cassandra was in a hurry to come to Athens that we moved the schedule back."
