Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 518 519. ‘Consulting’ Elpino

Elpino walked into his villa. He threw off his expensive leather slippers and enjoyed the cool touch of the white marble floor.

Elpino walked into his study, which was complete with busts and short velvet chairs. There was a fireplace at one end of the room, and an open-air colonnade facing the garden at the other end.

This structure makes the heat of the Aegean Sea less exaggerated, and allows you to enjoy the fragrance of flowers and grass.

He poured himself a glass of wine mixed with ice water, then walked to his desk holding the ceramic cup.

On the smooth ash wood desk, his book board and coin selection were placed. But he only took one step forward before his body froze.

There was a helmet in the style of a Spartan general on the table, facing him. The red mane spread vertically on the helmet like a peacock's tail. Half of the helmet gleamed with brass, while the other half was covered in dried blood.

"The [Blood Wolf] of Sparta is dead." A voice came from the shadow of the pillar.

Elpino gasped after seeing Cassandra. She walked up to him with a look of displeasure on her face.

After experiencing the temper of the battlefield, Cassandra's fierce Spartan temperament became more obvious.

The current situation is undoubtedly not good.

A mercenary with blood on his hands stood menacingly in front of the unprotected businessman.

But Elpino was not a simple businessman. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Cassandra, and raised the corners of his mouth.

He took out a bulging money bag from the desk drawer and threw it in front of Cassandra.

"Well done, this is the reward we agreed on."

The action of giving money was smooth and smooth, and the sound of the money bag hitting the table was heavy and beautiful.

Cassandra could tell that these were full of fine drachma coins, and this bag contained at least several hundred coins!

This can even buy a cow in a city like Athens!

Cassandra looked warily at the purse, then up at Elpino.

"Did you think I would bargain with you?" Elpino opened his hand and said, "Please, it's not every day that I meet the person who killed my father. Although..."

"Nicholas is not your biological father. This is the only thing that makes me feel regretful."

Cassandra's pupils briefly dilated in shock.

"how do you know?!"

Aha, the mercenaries took the bait.

Elpino smiled secretly.

"I love comedy, I love all art forms, really. There was once a famous general who turned around and threw his child off a cliff just because of a word from the oracle. This is a tragedy suitable for all ages. A model of drama.”

"How dare you treat my life as entertainment!"

"No, it's not entertainment." Elpino quickly moved his hands in front of his chest, "This is an art."

"Then you can really find fun in the most unreasonable places." Cassandra lowered her voice and said. "Perhaps you'll laugh out loud next time I thrust the spearhead into your chest?"

"Don't be angry, mercenary, please listen to my explanation." Elpino raised his glass and took a sip of wine. And when his vision blurred, he quickly looked toward the colonnade.

And his eyes met a guard who was looking towards him, and the guard quickly noticed the situation in the house.

Without making much noise, the guards who had been trained for a long time turned around and entered the backyard of Villa Elpino. The owner of the villa was relieved when he saw this.

There are religious guards stationed in the backyard all year round to protect him. These top soldiers in the Greek world are equipped with the best standard equipment in the Greek world.

Maybe they couldn't kill a demigod, but using their lives to delay their escape shouldn't be a problem at all.

Sure enough, just as he was taking a breather, the guard who ran to report the news came over with two heavily armed divine guards.

The guards of the cult are still wearing the luxurious all-iron armor, and their face armor is carved into the face of a wise old man. The helmets on their heads are decorated with black and purple colors that do not belong to any city-state. Horsehair-like plumes.

Their qualities are undoubtedly outstanding among ordinary people.

Two men in iron armor slowly climbed down from the roof of the courtyard and along the pillars, like spiders as big as one person.

They stepped on the ground silently, and the daggers in their hands were already aimed at the kidney area of ​​Cassandra's back.

"Malaka! I've had enough of your instigation and snake-like words!"

Cassandra clenched her fists so that the skin of her arms was highlighted by bulging muscles.

"I should cut your tongue out right now!"

Along with Cassandra's anger, the cult guards behind her also took action at the same time!

The silent dagger was blocked by a broken spear glowing with golden light the moment he raised his hand. It was as if the person holding the spear had expected this scene to happen!

The broken spear held the dagger, and Kassandra's right hand took advantage of it and pulled out Nikolaos' sword with a sound of friction between the leather belt and the metal.

As the machete was being withdrawn, it opened a large gap in the belly of the cult guard.

Iron armor made with human's current craftsmanship is still no match for a divine weapon forged with artifact fragments mixed in.

The hand that thrust out the dagger suddenly became weak due to the large gap in his stomach.

Kassandra's broken spear blocked the short sword, and the spear blade passed the opponent's neck in the process of retracting it.

The blood from his abdomen and neck spilled onto the same marble floor.

In order to prevent the enemy from possible protection from the artifact, Kassandra's habit prompted her to rather waste her actions on an enemy to ensure the maximum damage effect in one go.

There was also a big divine guard, who took out a large shield and used it to get close to Cassandra.

Upon seeing this, Elpino immediately understood that this was the best time for him to retreat.

The expensive desk and wine were pushed aside by him.

He had to flee through the study door.

There is just enough sunlight outside the study, and the light softens through the plant vines on the gridded wooden roof.

Everything was pretty much as expected.

The falconer gets angry, but she can't hurt herself.

I am a member of the divine cult that will control the Greek world. How could I be betrayed by a frog in the well from Cephalonia?

"Bang!"

The look of the Elpino Pearl in his hand still lingered on his face.

But his body flew straight back in a violent impact.

It was a boot with plate armor on the outside, and it kicked Elpino in the stomach.

The big businessman who was kicked away hit the bookshelf in his study. Before his temporarily disabled body could slide down from the bookshelf, it was like a strong wind blowing by.

The papyrus and parchment rolls scattered on the floor were lifted up by the flowing air.

Immediately afterwards, a big hand wearing a leather glove with steel armor gripped Elpino's entire head from the side and pressed his head against the bookshelf.

The calm expression disappeared without a trace at this moment, and pain and panic occupied the big businessman's entire face.

He couldn't help but panic.

Because that big hand held his entire head, and the hardness and strength of that hand always made him feel as if he was going to be crushed in the next second!

"The first time we met, the stranger who wanted my life."

With a 'click', accompanied by Elpino's scream, the boots with external armor stomped on the opposite bone of the opponent's calf.

The straight leg bones then turned into an outward-facing 'V' shape.

Lan En looked down at Elpino who gasped.

"Cassandra hasn't finished asking about things yet, and I still have some things I want to consult here. Why should I leave in such a hurry, friend?"
