Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 534 535. ‘Female Boss’

"Who are these Ares believers? Are they an organization affiliated with the Cult of Kosmos?"

Adhering to the principle of seeking advice from locals, Lan asked Alcibiades.

"They literally believe in Ares, the god of war."

Alcibiades flipped up his white hair. Ever since he met Lan En, he always felt that his hair was not shiny enough because it was not maintained well.

"But I think they are not a subordinate organization of the Cult of Kosmos, but more like an organization that was personally incorporated by Harpalos in this letter. After all, what Ares believers do does not match the name of the Cult of Kosmos at all. .”

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you know, dear." Alcibiades gestured with his fingers in the air, his tone as playful as ever.

"When people leave the city-state, they can be regarded as beasts or ghosts and gods. No one wants to be treated as a human being. But for Ares believers, it's hard to say."

"They voluntarily live in isolation. They do not live in houses, do not wear the clothes of the city, and do not eat the food of the city. Therefore, they consider themselves to be exempt from human laws and only worship Ares."

"And for the bloody and cruel God of War, what better way to worship than the bloodshed and the cries of the victims?"

"So what these 'savages' wandering in the wilderness can do, isn't it clearly written on this note?"

A group of sociopathic fanatic murderers.

Lan En probably understood the virtues of this group of people.

Without leaving any trace, Lan En put the note into his alchemical leather bag again.

"Then do you know where the 'cave' mentioned in the note is? You also saw that Harpalos named me to cause trouble. I plan to deal with him before he comes."

"Aha, I just like your crisp and neat style, it's so fascinating." Alcibiades clapped his hands gently and said with excitement.

But then, he spread his hands helplessly.

"Unfortunately, I can't help you. The description on this note is too vague. There are many large and small caves outside the city of Athens. If it were normal, forget it, but now the Spartans are pressing forward step by step, even if it is Bo Licris did not dare to scatter people out of the city of Athens casually."

Then you can only find it yourself.

Lan understood what Alcibiades meant.

When smart people talk to each other, they rarely talk clearly.

Later, Lan and Phidias went back to his workshop together.

The sculptor and Alcibiades had already paid off Lan En's payment, and the total was actually almost the same as Elpino's payment to Cassandra.

And he also invited Lan En to continue living in his workshop.

After all, he was also a person who was tortured by the God of Order and almost suffered a mental breakdown.

Although Brisson had been killed, he still felt for a while that there was a capable and trustworthy mercenary by his side, and he felt relieved even when he slept.

As night approached, Fubai also returned to the workshop.

But to Lan En's surprise, after he gave Fu Bai a tutoring lesson last night, she actually looked a little worse today than yesterday.

Yesterday, at any rate, my clothes were pulled off a bit and there were a few bruises on my arms.

But today, the little girl was punched in the eye socket, and her nose was bleeding.

This led to Phidias looking at Lan En with an expression on his face that he didn't know what to say during the meal.

"Actually." The sculptor said hesitantly. "You are making a lot of money now, Lan En. There is no need to let your apprentice go to the street to be a thief, right? Of course, if you are in trouble, then maybe I can help you a little?"

"I actually have no need for drachmas." Lan En said with a smile on his face as he looked at Fubo, who was in an inexplicably high mood even though he was beaten badly.

"Why don't you ask this little girl if she wants to stop taking to the streets?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Before the kind-hearted sculptor could turn his head, Fubo loudly announced his decision.

The way the little girl eats now seems a bit heroic to an adult.

She tore off a palm-sized piece of bread and held the earthenware bowl filled with thick fish soup, using the bread like a spoon.

After pulling the fish and vegetables from the earthenware bowl into his mouth, he took a bite of barley bread dipped in fish soup.

His mouth was bulging, and he chewed twice, then swallowed hard, and then let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm not going to be a thief!"

Fu Bai spoke loudly and proudly about what she had gained today.

"I specifically found the little boy we met and beat them all up! Now they all listen to me!"

"These orphans in Athens have never seen the world at all! They are like little sheep, they don't even dare to attack the person holding the sword!"

"I just took them on a trip, and they were all full today!"

Lan En raised his eyebrows. From the look on Fu Bai's face, he knew that she was specifically looking for someone to fight with today.

But I didn’t expect that this kid could be so powerful and become the ‘female boss’ among a group of street children?

And even if we don’t talk about mobility, she can make a group of frightened street children trust her so quickly. Even with the bonus of ‘same experience’, isn’t her communication skill too good?

From this, Lan En once again thought of the situation where Fubai made many children in one day in Megaris.

"Be tolerant, Phoebe. After all, not all children have been with Cassandra in places like Kefalonia."

Lan En stopped breaking bread with interest and poked his head towards Fu Bai.

"Tell me, how do you keep them fed? If you don't have this ability, then I think even if you beat the wanderers one by one, they won't listen to you."

"That's right!"

Fubai seemed to have found a soulmate, and he couldn't wait to start eating and talking.

"I used the method you taught me. I walked from the roof and silently followed a sailor who disembarked in the port of Piraeus."

"I have long been interested in this group of people. They carry the money just handed out by the captain, and they are ready to find prostitutes or have fun in gambling at the port. But when it is time to sail the ship, they have to leave immediately."

"Although such people are very vicious, even if they lose their money, they don't have time to look for it. They just need to hide for a day or two!"

"The other street kids I'd 'persuaded' were distracting him, and I jumped off the roof! Give him a shove, grab my wallet, and run!"

The story telling process of Fubai is very attractive and full of emotion. Even Phidias was unknowingly interested, and filled the pottery bowl he returned to Phob with another spoonful of fish soup.

"Oh, thank you, Phidias. Where did I just say that?"

"You said you 'took the money and ran'."

Pheidias immediately answered.

"Then what?"

"Then I used the money to buy twenty pieces of barley bread! This is enough for their dozen children to eat for several days."

"Later, the sailor hired help to chase us. I asked the street kids to go ahead and lead them away myself. The sailors looked fierce, but they couldn't catch up with me at all. I could run on the roof better than they could. Fast on flat ground!"

At the end of the sentence, Fu Bai smashed his mouth without saying anything.

"What a pity. That money bag is only the weight of the sailor after he got off the gambling board. Otherwise, I could have bought more fish for those children."
