Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 839 821. Consumption Speech

Cassandra took out the knife from her waist and handed it to Lan En to look at.

Because the swords of this era were in the early stages of civilization, there was no convergence in form due to roughly the same battlefield conditions, at least not seriously.

Therefore, all kinds of strange-shaped weapons can be turned into unique weapons in the hands of blacksmiths in various city-states.

The knife in Cassandra's hand looks similar to a watermelon knife, with a straight, pointless head and a thick back.

But the golden light on this knife seemed a little dim even in Cassandra's hand.

When Lan left last time, Cassandra was still using the Spartan sword she got from her father, the [Spartan Blood Wolf].

That was top-notch equipment that Sparta took out from the treasury and distributed to the leading generals.

There can never be too few artifact fragments used in forging.

But even so, Cassandra still used at least two artifacts in a year and a half.

If it continues to be consumed at this rate, the artifact fragments in this world, which are the 'remaining technological materials of the Isu people', will probably be consumed by the Middle Ages.

"I always feel like your equipment is wearing out very quickly."

People began to recognize that [Falcon Tamer] and [Son of Titan] were demigods walking in the world.

Even if the Isu technology is used up, there will be nothing missing from the magic equipment.

Lan En nodded indifferently.

Those mixtures are regarded as mythical monsters, and people respect and fear them.

It is intended to remind people of the majesty of myths and gods.

So he came here many times to attend banquets.

At that time, he became famous in the city of Athens, and Socrates and others liked to talk and communicate with him.

Lan En grabbed the flannel ball and put it on his shoulder while walking.
-

Lan En has been to Pericles' mansion many times.

"Is the Spear of Leonidas okay?"

I heard that those corpses were enshrined in the Parthenon by Pericles and were dried and embalmed.

"I don't think the power of the Broken Spear has declined, so don't worry."

In fact, Cassandra's use of the artifact was worn out too quickly, which was not a problem in his opinion.

Lan En looked at the broken spear hanging with the bow and arrow on Cassandra's back.

They will embark on a heroic journey that is watched over by the gods just like Hercules and Perseus.

Especially before he left last time, Harpalos randomly used the [Ankh Cross] to create a mixture of humans and beasts, and was dragged into the city of Athens by Lan En as proof of the completion of the crusade against Ares believers.

Anyway, Cassandra's own qualities are here to be seen. The warrior herself is strong enough and can be used with any equipment.

She said as she easily took off the broken spear that had been upgraded twice and became much more gorgeous from behind, and twirled it in her hand.

It was also from that time that the names of "Falcon Tamer" and "Son of the Titan" spread to the entire Greek world through Athens' trade routes and shipping. Even in Persia, you can occasionally hear this myth-like story.

"Now, let's go and see Pericles' mansion."

"My Broken Spear is not on the same level as other artifacts." Cassandra seemed very confident about this.

Pericles' adopted son, Alcibiades, was so enthusiastic that Lan En was somewhat kept at arm's length.

In the street in front of Pericles' house, indeed, as Phidias said, many opponents were crowded.

Poor people in rags, rich people in luxurious but pale faces, citizens, slaves.

All kinds of people were filled with anger and wanted the Archon to explain the plague and calm the chaos.

People were coughing and vomiting uncontrollably. Occasionally, some patients who have reached the final stage of the disease have large scabs on their bodies after the rashes have ruptured, and the high body temperature makes them start to tear their clothes uncontrollably.

Too crazy to be human.

This place has simply become a large petri dish of plague.

But even so, people without common sense and experience still gathered together, as if expressing their anger was more important than anything else.

And just at the intersection in front of Pericles' house, Cleon set up a simple small stage, and started to accuse Pericles while dancing and speaking passionately.

Those who still retained consciousness in the crowd were all fanned and their eyes turned red, as if Pericles had summoned the plague.

In fact, this is exactly what Cleon said.

“Pericles is ungodly!”

Cleon opened his arms widely, opened his eyes wide, and shouted violently at the crowd below.

"Yes, our great Archon built the Parthenon, and he also brought countless flowers, tributes, and incense to show his piety to the great Athena."

"But. Will this work?! Is this what the great Athena wants to see?!"

Cleon stood on tiptoes, leaned forward, and raised one hand to point at the eye-catching huge bronze statue of Athena in the Acropolis.

"Our goddess is the goddess of wisdom, but she is also the goddess of war!"

"It was Pericles who avoided fighting the barbaric Spartans and instead used precious funds to build temples. This cowardly behavior angered the goddess, so the plague was raging in this great city!"

"It's time to face reality, noble and rational citizens of Athens! As long as we don't depose this cowardly dictator Pericles for a day, we will not be able to gain Athena's understanding! We will not be able to win!"

"Of course, please don't blame our consul. After all, this cowardly heart is born. If you are to blame, blame him for bringing about this curse that entangles our great city!"

Lan En, who was standing on the street, raised his lips in displeasure and made a 'tsk' sound.

"Now I am getting more and more disgusted with this kind of guy who manipulates and plays with emotions. It's disgusting."

"Look for Pericles first." Cassandra patted Lan En's arm to comfort him, and then took the lead to approach the wall of the mansion.

"It doesn't matter if you're crazy or not, that's a matter for the Athenians. We are not Athenian citizens."

After saying that, she looked back at Lan En a little uncertainly.

"Uh, aren't you?"

After all, Lan En had been very familiar with many famous people in Athens before, and he was very happy. He is also famous.

For ordinary people, becoming an Athenian citizen was an unattainable luxury.

But for Lane, if he wanted to, Pericles might be able to arrange it immediately.

"No, I'm not a citizen of Athens either."

After receiving the answer, Cassandra shrugged, turned around and jumped into the courtyard of the mansion.

Lan En threw the flannel ball over first, and the kitten was still a little confused when it was in mid-air.

Then he jumped in himself.

As soon as they entered Pericles' mansion, the obviously abnormal behavior of the two people and the cat caused a small panic.

And because of this little panic, another pair of figures quietly approached on the eaves of the courtyard.
